Stephanie Harbor she was also found

guilty of the attempted murder of

Stephanie Harper's husband the tennis

champion Greg Marsden who was at the

time mrs. Stewart's alleged lover now if

that all sounds like your normal

run-of-the-mill high society murder

trial consider some of the bizarre

circumstances that had the jury baffled

for weeks the accused had actually been

invited along as a guest on her victims

honeymoon and the murder instrument at

12 foot saltwater crocodile

I talked with Julie Stewart on her first

day out of prison someone mind telling

number of choices you don't have to put

yourself through this Dan before you

any easier

Ned robbers they're expecting

Oh Dennis

personally I think it's right out

welcome back Julian

somebody please tell me what I'm doing

here bill

Julie I brought you here for a reason

this should be done properly

let's all be seated at the table when

Stephanie's father died no will was

found so automatically everything was

left to Stephanie however when they were

renovating old Eden builders unearthed a

box containing a number of personal

papers amongst which was max Harper's

last will and testament now I have

checked and rechecked this document it's

real it's authentic beyond argument or

dispute I Maxwell Harper being of sound

mind and body do hereby give devise and

bequeath all my real and personal estate

under my daughter Stephanie for her own

absolute use with the knowledge that

Stephanie will provide for her sister

Julie whom I hereby acknowledge I'm

sorry Julie max Harper and your mother

were lovers

Stephanie his father was also you

I mean we're sisters

do I have to talk to you I can't I

couldn't believe it either

but I I really think that we can find a

way through it together

you think being sisters changes anything

you're wrong but it must I really wish

I'd never found out I hope you don't

mean that tell us

dad was such a proud man I suppose he

couldn't admit the truth about himself

damn its death he was just grow up

together become friends he just stood

back and never said a word that's done

now what's important is that for most of

our lives you and I have been like

sisters what did that do

well we both fell in love with the same

man it doesn't really seem so surprising

now does it when that same man tried to

kill you I didn't lift a finger to help

would your sister have done that Oh

Jimmy I have tried so hard to forgive

you I think I can no you shouldn't I

think I hated you from the moment you

married Greg Marsden no because I wanted

him to but because once again

Stephanie Harper poor little rich girl

walked off with the first prize and I

want to change all that Julie please

please don't say that you and I have

been given the perfect chance to make up

for the past chance for what charity

can't you see that's the final twist of

the knife

Julie doesn't look good asleep you know

none of us wanted to hurt you

first-class seat for Sarah Harbor

tomorrow morning on the early flight

thank you so why are you going back to

the Gold Coast you might as well be nice

I'm not sure I want to be a victim of

this particular Holocaust I'm not sure

you can avoid it none of us can mmm but

I'd sure love to try take a look at this

family dad

her grandfather with a guilty secret a

mother who was totally lost until you

came along and now Jilly's Stuart

come on says he stay even if it's only

for a few days after all Dennis isn't

gonna be much help all right

and try not to hate Dennis now you know

I don't hate Dennis I just wish he knew

it I think he does it's just more fun

pretending you're the wicked stepfather

well is stéphanie outside exercising her

conscience

oh darling what am I going to do get rid

of her mum wherever she goes from here

she's family we can't ignore that I

don't trust her do you don't worry mum

I'm not gonna let anything hurt you I'll

see you later

how is she should we all read all to the

point are you confused one feeling gets

stronger I owe her past everything I

just feel that if we've known all along

maybe things would have been different

this is Philip Stewart unfortunately I'm

not at home at the present time please

leave your name your number and your

message when you hear the term Philip

it's chilly I'm at Stephanie's house

I suppose the last person you expected

to hear from was your ex-wife I'm lonely

I need a friend quite a performance

it wasn't funny time to make a phone

call what did it nice and private did

you not much chance of that with you

spying on me I would have to get drunk

no luck why are you being such a bastard

Dennis because I know what you're

capable of

do you really seven years in prison

maybe I've lost my edge what do you

think not interested

seven years without a man teaches you

something about attention

would it take to win your trust

Dennis come on it's on your mind

I want you about tomorrow

I'll give you some money

pay for hotel room

why should I do

let's go y'all Dennis what's the point

you wouldn't believe me it's all right

damn

he wasn't trying to hurt me he's trying

to buy me off with a hotel room could

have saved his breath I find you where

to go I'd go oh I don't think I've ever

in my life felt so lonely I think you

better go back to bed we'll discuss this

in the morning I came down here to phone

Phillip crazy you won't want to know me

anymore than the rest of you do what's

the point dad

you're past the future

Oh dad you're the only one in this

family who understands

poor little Jilly

back me up them get rid of it I'm afraid

it's not as simple as that darling Denis

emotionally Julie's at the end of her

tether are you both blind

this is Jilly Stuart we're talking about

she's playing games - what her she hates

this family oh I can't believe that

Denis this is her family and she has to

be able to stay as long as she wants to

whether we like it or not

says we get my bag hurry have taken this

from the bathroom

I thought she was dead she really wanted

to kill herself she would have done it

properly you twist anything to suit

yourself

wake up says Jimmy's playing his famine

like one of your bloody sonatas dan is

she all right

yes she's gonna be fun unless you say

you're concerned about your mother for

Vince in your life just consider the

pressure she's under and hold your turn

why did you do it I want it out why to

punish us to make me feel guilty

probably sorry Dennis was right you

really do hate this family not as much

as I hate myself I just don't believe

that let me ask you one thing stiff

would you want to be me me neither but

here I am what I did was stupid it won't

happen again I suppose I should be able

to understand how you feel God knows I

hated you once hatreds like a garden

you've got attended maybe Dennis was

right a hotel key in a fistful of

dollars maybe I should just leave do you

want feel safe one time

I've spent seven years paying for what I

did to you

isn't that enough

Emily this is Bill McMaster I'm on my

way to pick you up in the chopper I

think you better get back to Sydney as

soon as possible I'll be joined the

steel will in about an hour

it's been a difficult few days how are

you I'm all right what's happening at

stock market by the time I left it was

becoming obvious that we were in for

more than just a minor raid on our

shares Harper's is the target of a

carefully planned assault have you got

the figures I'm having new figures head

straight to the office behind its music

well I wasn't sure at first

judging by the pattern that's emerged

this morning I'd have to say that it's

Jake Sanders sure I'm afraid too well we

know Sanders by reputation what do we

know about him specifically beyond that

he's English and a bloody pirate with

big ambitions very little but he has run

some successful raids on a number of big

Western Australian companies a man

himself is a mystery you make him sound

very cryptic that's if you find danger

attractive

mr. MacMaster you asked the latest

figures oh thank you Cassie

Oh Stephanie this is Cassie Jones my new

assistant hello Cassie miss Harper she

specializes in corporate analysis grade

has lost any momentum

despite the sharp rides and share prices

Jake Sanders is still buying

well when the price is right he'll sell

him take his profits we've weathered

this before bill I've also looked into

our cash flow situation things are tight

at the moment hmm it seems mr. Sanders

couldn't have chosen a worse time to

attack us thanks Jesse interesting

choice of assistant bill she's well

qualified now what are you gonna do

about Jilly I don't know shares in the

company Babs oh it's out of the question

Stephanie what was one of the first

things I taught you stock equals power

and you keep as much as possible of that

in your own two hands now strictly

speaking you don't have to give her

anything

bill she's my sister if that will had

been unseen by anyone else I'd have put

a match to it in spite of everything I

wouldn't have wanted that I know you

wouldn't

don't stop I don't play very well it

sounded wonderful to me mum's dream not

mine if you want to play really well you

have to want to and I don't anymore

yesterday

you were the only one who said welcome

back did you mean it

I was it just to annoy the others a bit

of both I suppose what was prison like

frightening because of the way your mind

started to work

I took a bar of expensive soap in with

me and never used it too afraid to lose

my last contact with the outside world

they say once you've been inside long

enough you can't get a grip on the real

world you call this the real world come

on where

whenever I get depressed I know there's

only one way out buy new clothes

I'm sorry Joanna but you're gonna have

to delay the opening then you turn a

fashion story you can't do this with

Dennis you can't do this to me the habit

board is already approved the money sure

but at the moment it looks like we're

gonna need all the cash reserves chili

hello Joanna

you've lost weight how about losing the

rest of it at the door I invited Jilly

here we don't need her business you can

put these on my account Joanna it's a

red sess put the clothes back my mistake

no take them but for your Mother's sake

I would be grateful if in future mrs.

Stewart took a business elsewhere take

the gear out of the car says come on

Julie Julie and I have something to

discuss

go on says $2,000 in your hotel paid for

two months

on the condition that you pack your bags

and get out of Eden today what am I

supposed to do negotiate all right how

much do you want when your mother tells

me to leave I'll leave

without any handouts what you say

doesn't count I understand each other

Joanna

Steph is allowing that woman to stare

deep not for much longer

you sure you don't want me to take it

all off doctor hello I don't think

that'll be necessary must happen after

all it is just your annual check please

no strictly speaking my nurse should be

in the room

don't you dare she can find her own fun

this isn't gonna help your blood

pressure my server all mine

I don't care your let me examine you or

not alright beautiful and all your own

work Anna

all I did was repair your face I didn't

create it you too modest we both know

what I looked like before you operated

yes but even terribly scarred you were

still beautiful what I do this to

reflect that I love you ceilings in

tally mutual

well you are in very good shape but I

think I will just check your blood

pressure is that really necessary

no but I prefer to why why not you're

afraid I'll see how much stress you

really are under the moment do you like

it she has a claim on me I can't ignore

that

send your dad's finish it will it ever

be finished come on mate I'll pay in 10

case I'll just have to go and get myself

hopper Jake Sanders did they got me dirt

in his private life nothing he would

have been useful on a PR campaign

against him still forgetting I think I'm

a let me know no matter how late it is

even over dinner

I'm sorry mr. Harper I've already made

plans for tonight

can't you break them what makes you

think I'd want to

oh no you don't Jake Sanders they're on

photographs a nice one I hope oh come on

worst when I fell in love with you our

deann marketing bill I want this check

drawn and delivered straight to Eden

million dollars mom I don't want to hear

company can't afford this we need every

cent we've got to defend ourselves in

this year battle with Jake Sanders will

find a way will you do it please bill

good stay there I'm on my way

hurry my mother say where she was going

wait to Tara she has a meeting with

Jonah get in touch with Aaron asked him

to meet me at evening one hour until

return

okay I'm intrigued I've been doing a lot

of thinking since the other night how

exhausting maybe I've been wrong about

you wrong about a lot of things so don't

make any more mistakes about me okay why

don't you pour yourself a drink I'll go

upstairs and take my shower and we can

continue this discussion when you calm

down you said the other night see one of

my trust trust is a mutual thing

we really do have a communication

problem don't we you thought I wanted

you the other night

I was showing you just how far out of

your depth you are what I want to love

her I'll choose a man not a boy

thank you

yes

you're playing with fire dinner's go

lunch on the craft yourself in prison -

I can imagine I wasn't gonna mention my

mother would react if he found us like

this probably but she'd throw you out

first that's where you're wrong

Stephanie's on the way upstairs right

now bang your dick you've got two

minutes I think I can talk my way out of

this if I let it slip to your mother

that you're up to your neck and gambling

this speech 30 grand you'd have to pick

a lot of bad horse with sorry I'm early

stick let me see Vince no I've been in

here is he at home it's cars outside are

you feeling better thanks I'd like to

talk to you about something will you

join me downstairs

sure

take the money to jail with what the

world thinks it's too generous it's only

fear what happened to you this afternoon

I thought I had a lead on Jack Sanders

didn't pay off no such thing as a sure

bet is there shall we get on with it

then bill Jilly in accordance with the

spirit of the old late father's will

stephanie has chosen to make provision

for you this check is for five million

dollars now if you just sign this

release it's a formality Jilly

nology that prevents me from making any

further claims on this fact formality

that says you don't trust me as far as

you can throw me at least Dennis was

honest with his two grand in his hotel

room what is it bill it's a standard

procedure in legal terms when any

payment is made it's an admission that a

claim exists

Harper mining has to be protected

against any future action by the parties

involved the party I'm Stephanie's

sister Julie's right I think we might

dispense with the document though I

can't accept the check now not when it's

given in this spirit Jenny please don't

be rash hang on to the check at least

think about it

won't make any difference please

Stephanie you're right I don't want your

money all I want is your trust your love

and to be your sister

Julie Speer

or should I say Julie Harper I believe

congratulations are in order about five

million dollars worth Stephanie's got a

right to be worried your information is

very good an educated guess well what

can I offer you a deal

if we pull our resources we might both

get what we want did Stephanie put you

up to this

I must admit for $5,000,000 I do a

friend a favor

and what would you do for me are you

serious

deadly I don't want your five million

dollars what else can you offer me I

should have thought that was obvious

information a Stephanie's sister I'd be

the ultimate source oh I doubt it if

Stephanie's prepared to buy you off she

obviously wants you out I can fix that

you really want this alliance don't you

why because everything she has is

rightfully mine and it'd be hard for me

to take over the company on my own but

with or without you I'm gonna take it

all

mr. Sanders have you be taking care of

my brother's grave very good care if

anyone comes around asking questions

know how to keep her mouth shut

terrible thing to lose a brother

if you had to marry Stephanie Harper

should have stayed clear of her sister

that's right they're sisters you didn't

know that did you

don't worry great now that together

again

sorry you're gonna miss it

should be fun
