Reporter: But first we
cross to reporter, Ben tan,

for the first day of the murder trial
that not everyone agrees is a murder.

What I believe is that a jury

will find that my daughter
was an innocent teenager

who was in the wrong hands.

Members of the jury panel,
if your number's drawn,

please stand and make
your way to the jury box.

Six, one, zero, one, seven.

Anyone else feel like
they're at a 12-step meeting?

Oh, how was the jury duty thing?

Did you get out of it? Yeah.

They let you off?

You don't have to be here.

I can't be anywhere else.

Are you sure that they're not going
to bring up what we spoke about?

I got selected for jury duty.

This won't stop you
coming to my night classes.

Two nights a week.

Someone's gotta do the paperwork,
or else we might spook the buyers.

I'm on the jury.

Did you get put on
that jury after all?

I was gonna tell you. When?

Jamie.

There is no real evidence
and there is no body.

(Indistinct conversation)
That was awesome.

That was awesome.
Did you see that, Kate?

It was totally awesome.

Hey, Kate, do you
have a spare charger?

Ah, yeah, it's on
the kitchen bench.

(Slow-paced music)

(Slow-paced music continues)

It's exquisite.

Come here.

Come here. Mhh-mhh.

How much have you had to drink?

Hmm? Would you relax?

You've got your
process and I've got mine.

I don't want you throwing
up all over my studio, alright?

Why only blue?

Oh, I didn't do it.

That's a bowerbird.

It's how the males
court the females.

Really?

I'd like a man to do
that to me someday.

Just the one beauty.

(Slow-paced music)

(Tense music)

Daddy, where's mummy?

Just give her a minute, sweety.
She's just using the bathroom.

Hey.

Did you get any sleep?

Me neither.

Hey.

Come here.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I just...

..Lying, I just...

..I can't do it, George.

I'm sorry.

It was really unfair
of me to lie to you,

and I should have told you.

(Tense music)

I should...

Hang on, I should get
the kids ready for school.

And pick-up? How
do we handle that?

Ah, Gabby's just gonna
help out for a little bit.

You know that Gabby just wants

to get in your pants,
right? Jamie, that's not true.

Do you want her in your pants?

(Tense music)

Hey.

I'm really sorry, Jamie, ok?

Hey.

Maybe you could
pick the kids up.

I'll make dinner
tonight. How about that?

(Tense music)

Try to look human for
the crew, will you, mate?

Fuck off.

Fellas.

Hey, luiz. Hey.

Key for lift.

(Speaks foreign language),
my friend. I bring for you.

Salute.

Morning.

I told you to clean up
the books, you idiot.

Oh, here we go.

We get caught paying
cash in hand to illegals,

we can kiss the deal goodbye.

We're not gonna get caught.

No. No we're not, mate.

'Cause that shit
ends today. That shit?

That shit that dad taught us?

That shit that fed and
clothed your hairy ass?

Don't give me that
sentimental bullshit.

Listen, mate, I'll be fucked if
I'm gonna meet the deadline

on this next stage, if
you're off on jury duty.

Being late won't
blow the fucking deal.

Getting shut down
by worksafe will.

Listen, mate, if
you're gonna nag me,

you better be giving out
gobbies on Friday night

because you know what?

Helen could really use a break.

Sort it out. Now.

I want him gone, flip,

and anyone else
here who shouldn't be.

(Dog barking)

Oh, what am I, hey?

A tele-fucking-marketer
or something?

Allen, you nearly gave
me a heart attack man.

Don't screen my calls, mate.

I'm thinking you're
fucking avoiding me.

Oh no, I've been
pretty caught up

with this whole
jury duty trial thing.

I told christo I was
off the grid, yeah.

I had to get a suit
and a new haircut.

But I'm getting paid,
though. Breathe, mate. It's ok.

I'm not here to collect.

Yet.

Ah, it's good to see ya.

I got a proposition for ya.

Oh no, I'm gonna be pretty
busy for the next couple of months

with the trial.
It's a murder trial.

Yeah, I know.

I've got this investor friend
who's fucking fascinated by it,

and wants to pay you to
give him the inside story.

How much? 7k.

Which, by a
remarkable coincidence,

it's exactly what you owe
christo this month, yeah?

Is christo running a book
on this? Don't be dumb.

Who'd bet on a coin toss
with desperate scum like you

on the fucking jury,
hey? Then why?

Well, I'll tell you
what, Sherlock.

You use your detective
skills on your jury mates,

see which way they're leaning,

who's got a reason to
vote one way or another,

and if my investor
finds it useful enough,

seven grand of your
sizeable debt disappears.

Can I think about it?

Sure. Zeus?

Ripley?

You done?

'Cause you've tried my
Patience before, yeah?

Fucking idiot.

(Dog barks)

So, what's the judge like?

Playing for the defence?

It's too early to tell.

It's his first murder,
so baby steps.

He doesn't seem
too dazzled by Colby.

I am not looking forward
to being cross-examined

by that slippery prick.

Funny, that's what
his ex-wife calls him.

Which one love?

All jokes aside, you are
not to underestimate him.

(Dramatic music)

Looks like another
bikie trial's starting.

It's Steve dokic.

The 'darkroom rapist.'

there was a moment
during Colby's opening

where Kate was almost
physically shaking.

She was looking straight at him.

What's he in doing
court? Doesn't matter.

You need to get rid of him

or Colby will accuse
us of disrupting the trial.

He should be a witness.

Nothing about '92
is admissible, alright?

Not a word. Not even a whisper.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
UN-fucking-believable.

Leave it with me.

Anyway, right now you
need to concentrate.

Would you please state
your name, rank and station.

Detective sergeant Samantha
chedid, homicide squad.

Thank you, detective.

Could you please tell us

how the disappearance
of Claire Spears

first came to police attention?

Mr Colby, is there any objection
to the crown leading evidence

from the missing persons case?

No, your honour,
it is not in dispute.

On Monday, 16 September, 2019,

Diane Spears told chatswood
police her 14-year-old daughter

had disappeared from
Kate Lawson's home.

And what was the
police's response?

Detective Shane Chapman
notified the 'missing persons unit'

and led a team of
officers to castlecrag.

And do the police respond this
way to every missing person's report?

Claire was very young
and possibly vulnerable.

The circumstances... I'm sorry.

Why did you use
the word 'vulnerable?'

well, because she
was on her own.

And the circumstances of her
disappearance were unusual.

And it was nearly two days
since she was last seen.

Ok, team, gather round.

I'm going to need you to door
knock the whole street, ok?

Anything suspicious they heard or
saw between 9:00pm Saturday night

and 11:00 Sunday morning.

Strange vehicles, unexplained
sounds, odd people.

Ok, go to it.

So, when I got home
from dropping amita off

at about 10:00pm,
Claire's door was closed

and I assumed she was
sleeping, or still sulking.

And her bed was slept in?

Well, yeah. She wouldn't
have left in the dark.

Any particular reason
she'd leave at all?

(Tense music)

Come this way. Thanks.

(Tense music)

Diane, what are you doing?

Tea, on the terrace.

(Tense music)

Do you know if Claire's
phone was charged?

Oh, I don't know.

She often lets it run low.

Actually, it was
definitely charged.

Amita put it on the
charger in the kitchen.

I um...

I called her and left
voicemails at 10:07pm,

7:00am, 11:13am and then a
series from 4:00pm onwards

when the school called to
say that she wasn't there.

You called her phone?

Even though you thought
she was in the bedroom?

I do the same thing myself.

Sometimes it's the only
way to get her to answer.

Excuse me, detective Chapman?

One of the neighbours has cctv.

Has Claire ever run away before?

(Indistict chatter)

Is this the footage retrieved

from the neighbour's
security system?

Yes, from 88 cheyne
walk, castlecrag,

directly opposite
Kate Lawson's home.

At 9:03pm, amita James left
the house via the front door

and got into the passenger
seat of Kate Lawson's car.

Kate Lawson got in after her.

(Dramatic music)

She was gone for
approximately 50 minutes.

(Dramatic music)

Kate Lawson returned
alone at 9:58pm.

Did the cctv show
anyone leaving or entering

after Kate Lawson
came home that night?

Nobody.

Your honour, I believe madam
crown should clarify that matter.

Is it the case that the cctv

only captures the front of
Kate Lawson's property?

That's right.

The bushland at the
back of the property

isn't covered by cctv.

Thank you, madam crown.

Your honour, I
tender the footage.

It will be marked exhibit a.

So, apart from door
knocking the neighbourhood,

what else was involved
in the investigation?

Police worked alongside
Claire's mother, Diane,

to reach out to
family and friends.

Claire's school
contacted the students.

Airport, train and bus
stations were all alerted.

We checked Claire's bank accounts,
her rideshare and opal accounts.

We monitored her social media.

And what was the result of all
these hours spent searching?

Nothing.

Not a single trace of a 14-year-old
schoolgirl missing for two days?

No sign at all.

Detective, how did
homicide become involved

in the investigation?

Chapman sent me a video.

Members of the jury,

the judge warned you
that there might be evidence

in this trial that
may be distressing.

I ask for your fortitude.

Detective, would you identify
the footage on the screen, please?

It's video found
on Claire's phone.

It was recorded at 8:57pm

on the night of 14
September, 2019.

(Tense music)

We're up to exhibit b.

Thank you, mr Colby. I believe
madam crown knows what she's doing.

So do I, your honour.

(Slow-paced music)

Detective chedid, when did you first
speak to the accused, Kate Lawson?

At 5:45pm on Monday
16 September, 2019.

Ms Lawson and her
sister, Diane Spears,

were providing
police with information

about Claire's contacts.

Kate Lawson, I'm
detective chedid.

I'm here to interview you

in connection with the
disappearance of Claire Spears.

You're not required
to do or say anything,

but anything you do or say
could be used in evidence.

Has something happened?

Diane Spears, this premises is
now considered a crime scene.

You'll have to leave.

Ms Lawson, could you remain
seated while we conduct a search?

Please tell me what's going on.

Why are they
searching the house?

What has Nathan said to you?

She's run away.

My daughter has run away.

You should be looking
for her. Chappie, can you...

I'll need your phone,
laptop and any other devices.

What the fuck is going on? Kate?

It's fine. I'm fine. Go.

Could you please read that.

(Tense music)

I really hope we don't have
to watch that video again.

You got kids? Yeah, little ones.

God, that makes it worse.

And I wonder what Kate Lawson
could possibly say for herself.

Oh, she won't give evidence.

Not unless things are
going very badly for her.

I watch all the crime dramas.

The accused is not
required to testify.

We cannot draw any
conclusions about her guilt,

based on whether
she does or doesn't.

Kubba.

It's homemade. Has
that got meat in it?

I'm actually a vegan.

Lamb, rice, spices.

Mm, perhaps a
little bit rich, for me.

Help yourselves.

(Sombre music)

You ok? Yeah, no, I just...

I think this case is just
gonna get to me a little bit.

Makes two of us.

(Tense music)

(Indistinct conversation)

(Tense music)

Oh.

Kibbe? Homemade.

Sorry. I'm off carbs.

(Sombre music)

We're back in.

(Sombre music)

Very generous,
farrad. Thank you.

Yes, well, I shouldn't,
but they do look lovely.

Thank you.

(Sombre music)

Come on, we'll be late.

(Dramatic music)

Detective, could you
please identify this footage?

It's the video recording

of the search of Kate
Lawson's premises

and the bushland surrounding it.

Here.

(Dramatic music)

Photographs from
Kate Lawson's laptop.

I seek to tender
that, your honour.

No objection. I'll have that
handed to my associate.

And we'll Mark it exhibit c.

(Tense music)

Detective.

The school uniform
belonging to Kate Lawson

stained with red acrylic paint.

I tender that, your
honour. No objection.

Exhibit number h.

Black and white photographic
prints of Claire Spears.

The crown tenders
those, your honour.

No objection. Exhibit number I.

A proof sheet series
of Claire Spears

tying knots in ropes.

(Dramatic music)

What was inside
the retractable cutter?

Claire Spears' blood.

Mr Colby, do you object to the
crown leading forensic evidence?

Your honour, there is no dispute

that the blood found
within the retractable cutter

has been matched by
forensics to that of Claire Spears,

and I'll be cross-examining
the forensic analyst

later in the week.

Thank you, mr Colby.

The accused participated
in a record of interview

on 16 September, 2019,
at chatswood police station.

Yes.

Your honour, I intend to play
the recording of the interview now.

(Phone ringing)

You need to speak to
amita James, Claire's friend.

Chapman has all of her details.

Amita recorded that.

The light at the end is me
coming through the door.

I caught them at it
and I put a stop to it.

What are they doing?

They call it 'scarfing.'

it's stupid teenage
girls showing off.

They pretend that they're
engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Is this why I'm here?

You think she's dead?

No, no, no, you need
to speak to amita.

Claire is very much
alive, and she's missing.

Were you aware Claire and amita
were recording high-risk behaviours

in your home?
No, I put a stop to it.

I drove amita home.

I tried to confiscate Claire's
phone but she was too quick.

Well, how did it end
up under your fridge?

I think that's a question for
Nathan Spears, don't you?

There were other
videos on Claire's phone.

Her devices, her social media
feeds show other risk-taking.

What, like drinking?

Kids drink. They all do.

I just prefer that they did it where
they were safe and supervised

and not in the back of a
panel Van in a macca's carpark.

Are you aware that grooming
is against the law in this state?

I am not grooming my niece.

You've admitted you
provided your underage niece

with intoxicating substances.

It's the occasional
glass of wine.

And you've exposed
her to indecent material.

My art is not indecent.

Do you photograph Claire

masturbating on a
staircase in a school uniform?

She's not masturbating,

she's exploring her
own menstrual blood.

Well, did you ask her
to writhe in ecstasy

while exploring
her period blood?

That is such a reductive way
to describe a young woman

exploring the power
of her own beauty.

So you find beauty in a
teenage girl masturbating?

I think that question says so
much more about you than me.

Review the transcript...

(Dramatic music)

Mark that exhibit m.

What happened next
in the investigation?

We obtained a warrant to place
Kate Lawson under surveillance

and monitor her phone, email
and other communications.

Did you continue to
search for Claire Spears?

In cooperation with chatswood
and the state-wide unit,

we carried out a full
missing person's investigation

in the hope Claire Spears
would be found alive.

When did that stop?

On 1 November, 2019,

a family group picnicking at
flat rock beach in middle harbour

found a Norwich ladies college
school tie washed up on the sand.

Could the witness
be handed this?

Is this the tie you
just referred to?

Yes.

Detective, could
you tell the jury

what name is sewn into
the back of that school tie?

Claire Spears.

(Sombre music)

(Sombre music continues)

Journalists tell me it's
already looking bad in there

for your sister.

Fuck her.

I know she's grieving,
but so are you.

Margaret.

Cheese and tomato
toastie. Bless you.

Thank you. And
Georgina, chicken pot pie.

Thank you.

You don't think it's
premature to tally votes

until we've heard all the
evidence, and all the witnesses?

People are gonna change
their minds either way.

Might as well find out
where we stand day by day.

Someone's got a business to
run. Let's get cracking, people.

Would it make me a racist or a
misogynist to make fun of you?

I don't understand the detective
making such a song and dance

about a bit of menstrual blood.

Oi. Lunchtime.

Should women pretend
we don't bleed every month?

Does anyone know Kate
Lawson's date of birth?

Why?

Well, the more we
know, the better.

Well, what does her birthday
got to do with anything?

You can just say if you're
not into astrology, Margaret.

Mm, I doubt judge
muir is, either.

There's actually a lot of research
linking astrology and crime.

Sure.

Might as well find out her
favourite colour while we're at it.

Oh yeah, be my guest.

Guys, we're clearly
all very different.

We just have to make some
actual space for one another.

Can this dude even hear us?

Hey, 'ocean's 8.'

is that drink from a
vending machine here?

I love this crackhead.

(Indistinct conversation)

So, what is it you do, mate?

Investment banking.

I do 'm and a' for
a boutique outfit.

Yeah, yeah.

(Indistinct chattering)

Detective chedid, how long
have you been with the police?

I've been a police
officer for 12 years.

And how long have you
been a homicide detective?

I was made detective in 2014

and I joined homicide
five years later.

So, at the time of
Claire's disappearance,

you'd been a homicide
detective for, what, three months?

Almost four.

Four months.

Now, exhibit b, detective
chedid, the video of Claire scarfing.

How was that footage obtained?

The auto-erotic asphyxiation video
came from Claire Spears' phone.

And how was the phone obtained?

Please play the bodycam
footage, as tendered by the crown.

Get out of my house.

Nathan.

What are you doing
here? You're not welcome.

Can you ask him to
go? Get out of my house.

Please leave the house.

Get the fuck out of my house.
This is your fault, Diane?

Alright? You gave our
little girl to this fucking witch.

And whatever she's done
to her, you're responsible.

She's run away, that's
it. She just ran away.

She's run away?

Then why did I find her
phone hidden under a fridge?

Mr Spears, please,
come on. Come on.

Did you ask Nathan Spears

how he knew where to
look for Claire's phone?

He told me that's where Claire
had hidden her phone in the past,

when he'd tried
to confiscate it.

I'd like to show exhibit a,

but this time, the footage
beginning at 8:13pm.

How do you describe
this event in your report?

Nathan Spears came
to Kate Lawson's house.

He went inside and emerged
moments later with his daughter,

Claire Spears.

Kate Lawson appears
from inside the house,

and after an altercation in
the car, Claire returned inside.

An altercation, yes.

Detective chedid, are you familiar
with the term 'selective editing?'

in what context?

Exhibit a.

Well, that's 16 hours of cctv
where very little happens.

But something does happen,
does it not, at 8:13pm?

Didn't you think the altercation
with mr Spears was both relevant

and important? It's
all in the footage.

Which you chose
not to show to the jury.

Now, you've described a
caution that you gave ms Lawson

when you entered the house.

Did you similarly
caution mr Spears?

I'm only required
to caution a suspect.

Even after he was
revealed to be in possession

of Claire's phone?

He found the phone in
Kate Lawson's house.

The jury have seen the
video of the body-worn camera.

They'll decide that, detective.

At any point, did you
consider the possibility

that Nathan Spears planted
the phone under the fridge?

How would he have it if Claire
and ms Lawson argued over it?

I ask the questions,
detective, you know that.

Is it possible that mr Spears
planted the phone under the fridge?

It's possible,
sure. But likely, no.

I didn't ask if it was likely,
I asked if it was possible.

Now the answer to that is?

Yes, it's possible. Yes,
it's possible. Thank you.

Did you search mr Spears? No.

Is that because you'd already
made your mind up who was guilty

before you even entered
Kate Lawson's house?

No. At any point
did you consider

mr spear a potential
suspect in this case?

There was never any
evidence to support that.

Because you didn't look for any.

No, I followed the
evidence... You followed what?

A hunch?

You followed the accusations
that mr Spears himself had made?

No, no.

Tell me this. Would a
more experienced detective

have investigated more
than one suspect in this case...

Objection.

Detective chedid's
experience has been dealt with.

This is a question
designed to offend.

Don't test my
Patience, mr Colby.

Thank you, your honour.

Did you ever search his
house in the same way

as you did ms Lawson's?

I did not. Did you
comb through his phone,

through his laptop,
through his social media

in the same way? I did not.

No, you did not.

Now, detective,
on another matter,

does the fact that Claire's
tie washed up on the shore

rule out the possibility that
mr Spears, amita James

or Claire herself dropped it into
any gutter or stormwater drain

that washes into the harbour?

It's my job to reach a conclusion
based upon all the evidence.

Then I put it to you that rather
than consider all the evidence,

you'd already made your
mind up about Kate Lawson.

I disagree.

Well, of course you would.

That's all, your honour.

(Slow-paced music)

People of the jury,

did the dad hide the phone
under the fridge or what?

I think it's pretty hard to tell,
from the bodycam footage.

Where did he get it?

Kate told the detective
Claire had the phone

after her father
left. Yeah, yeah.

It's pretty weird he knew
exactly where it was.

Suss, eh.

Claire had hidden her phone

under her father's
fridge in the past.

Yeah, I don't like the sound
of their relationship at all.

It's a father's job sometimes
to be disciplinarian.

No, I think there's something
off about Nathan Spears.

I don't think I'm the only one.

I just think it's a
little bit early to judge.

Yeah, you're totally right.

It's way too early
to split into camps.

He broke into her home
and called her a witch.

It's abusive. Give
the guy a break.

His 14-year-old
daughter was missing.

There's always a fucking excuse.

Maybe we should all go home.

We've got another two
months in this place.

Yeah, the boss is right.

See you guys tomorrow.

Good evening, farrad.

And thank you, farrad,
for a delicious snack.

Looks like we were
the only two to try it.

I've got a confession to make.

I can't eat spicy food.

Gives me indigestion.

Me too.

What did you think of today?

Today?

People have no respect for life.

Or death.

Or kubba.

(Sombre music)

(Sombre music continues)

(Phone ringing)

Hello? Caitlin, hi.

It's Georgina merrick.

Oh, hi, Georgina.

Ah, Debra passed on your
number. She said that I might call.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's
right. She did mention it.

Look, have you thought
about after school care,

because I don't think our
kids are friends, are they?

I mean... sorry?

Sorry, what was that? Later.

I've gotta go. Yeah,
no, no, that's fine.

You go, you go. It's fine.

Sorry I couldn't
help. Thank you.

(Slow-paced music)

Hi. Hi.

Sorry, I thought I had
another mum all lined...

It's fine. Hi.

We'll try and work
something out. It's fine.

Thanks. It's fine.

Ok, everybody say
thank you to Gabby.

Kids: Thank you,
Gabby. Thank you.

See you later, cutie-pies. Bye.

Let's go. Alright.

Hey, guys, do you
think when we get home,

that we can pretend to daddy

that I picked you
up from after care?

Why?

Because he just,
he likes it when I do.

Me too. Me three.

Alright. Just let's
not tell daddy, ok?

Last one in the
car's a rotten egg.

Hey, hang on, hang on.
Alright, alright, seatbelts.

We're home, we're home.

You go.

(Indistinct chatter)

Yeah.

Hey, guys, hooks
and nooks, please.

Hey. What's for dinner?

Jesus, George, relax.

I'm kidding.

(Indistinct chatter)

Hey, monsters, guess what?

It's treat night tonight.

What are we having?

Spaghetti bolognaise
and chocolate pudding.

Yay. Yes.

Alright, wash your hands.

That means you
too, Billy Elliot.

Get out of here.

Hey.

Glass of wine for
mrs merrick? Mm.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast.

Mummy first.

Thank you, daddy.
This looks delicious.

Mm.

Top up? Yeah.

Why did you wink?

Um, well that's mummy
and daddy code.

What's mummy and daddy code?

Um, well, that's what
keeps this family going.

So, it's good they let you out
in time today to pick up the kids.

Because we don't want jury duty

interfering with mummy
duty now, do we?

No.

No. No.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music continues)

About time.

Where are we at with
the oh and s audit?

Inspection's Monday.

Yeah, checklist is over there.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music continues)

Flip!

Flip!

Mate, can you hear me?

Flip!

Shit.

Can you hear me? Hey.

Is he alive?

Yeah. And we're fucked.

We need to call an
ambulance. No. No, we can't.

This gets logged in the system,
we'll be busted in a heartbeat.

What did I fucking say?
He'll probably come too.

Let's just... We'll just
put him in the shed.

Are you fucking mental?

He just fell five fucking storeys.
We can't call an ambulance.

Fuck!

Alright, get the car. We'll
take him to the hospital.

We can't take him to
the fucking hospital.

Alright? We do that
and we're busted.

It's game over.

Well, what do you
suggest then, flip?

(Tense music)

It's alright.

There, there.

(Tense music)

Stop, stop, stop. Go, go.

(Tense music)

Watch his head.

(Tense music)

Come on. Let's go.

(Dramatic music)

We can't just
leave him like that.

(Dramatic music)

What the fuck are you doing?

Calling triple zero. What?

Calling triple zero.
They trace those calls.

What are you
doing? Give me that.

(Tense music)

Maxi.

Just...

Wait.

(Tense music)

Balzac's 'sarrasine, '

Oscar wilde's 'Dorian gray, '

and Chekhov's 'trigorin, '

all become smitten
with performers.

How important
to Bart's thesis is it

that simbalina
is playing a role?

Mr Saunders.

Do you have an opinion?

I trust by now you
all have an opinion.

Your Bart essay
is due at midnight.

(Tense music)

(Tense music continues)

(Yelling in background)

(Indistinct yelling)

(Tense music)

(Indistinct yelling)

(Sobbing)

Hands where we can see them.

Get up. Hands behind your head.

No, on his knees, on
his knees. Ah, fuck.

Don't swear at me.
What's in your bag?

My uni books and my laptop.

Don't move.

Get up.

So, if I open this
at the station,

it's not gonna be full of uni
work by the kid you stole it from?

Please, it's my laptop. I'm
a, I swear I'm a uni student.

There's an English lit
essay still open on the laptop

and it's due tonight, and
my lecturer's a real hard-arse.

Do I look like a fucking idiot?

Well, what about my bike?

(Sombre music)

(Sombre music continues)

He's in the meeting room.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming in.

We meet at last.

You had your chance,
before the committal.

Yeah.

I didn't want my name dragged
through the papers all over again.

Belinda bain was a
14-year-old assault victim.

It would be illegal for the press
to make reference to that case,

even after 30 years.

I know that now.
Well, now is too late.

Anything to do with
'92 is inadmissible.

Why am I here?

Stay away from the
court room, mr dokic.

It's open to the public.

The darkroom rapist
lapping up the sordid details

of a murdered teenage girl?

Nobody can write about Kate
Lawson's connection to the old murder,

but they can report your
interest in the new one.

She was already dead.

Before I walked into that room.

Are you telling me Kate
Lawson killed belinda bain?

I'm telling you I didn't.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music continues)

What do you want?

Guard: Lights out.
