All language subtitles for Janet king s03e05 Game Changer.eng

Hi, I'm Janet King.

Who is it, babe?

Ah, hello.

An illegal relationship
between a sicko and a child.

Flynn pulling on his
pants isn't evidence,

nor is him touching her arm.

I mean, he's given
her a place to stay...

- As long as she has sex with him.
- But we can't prove that to a court.

Our supplements are above board.

You have all the
paperwork from Eddie Cooke.

I mean, we never failed a drug test.

I need an assurance. When we
find this drug, Nate will talk.

I told you, there's none left.

Your inaction will mean

that Nate Baldwin's going to
talk to the Crime Commission,

which can't happen, as you well know.

Now a drug that gets the
Devils from last to fourth.

FLYNN: One bottle, 20 grand cash.

MAXINE: You've gotta be kidding me.

EDDIE: I think this
might be able to help you.

And there's no chance
of it testing positive?

Lots of guys were on it
last year. Passed everything.

H2O. It was water.

What?

Eddie gave Zoe plain old tap water.

Can you seriously get 10 grand for this?

- Flynn was offering 20.
- Be stupid not to.

Oi, Cindi, for fuck's sake!
I need that money. Stop!

JUDGE: Mr Baldwin,

on one count of manslaughter,

I find you guilty.

Help, somebody!

Please, help!

(COUGHS AND VOMITS)

Help, somebody, help us!

Janet King 3x05
June 22, 2017

NATE: It's all over. Greg...

I could be in here for
12 years. I can't do it.

It might not be that long, right?

- It could be.
- We can appeal.

- Or can we? He says we can't.
- I said we needed grounds.

What happened to finding the
drug that Tyler was taking?

Are the NCC still trying to find it?

I believe so, and if they
find it they will hand it over,

I'm certain of that, almost.

I'm sick of your bloody 'if's.

Look, I will get Janet on the phone...

Oh, no, no, please.

It's pretty clear that you
don't have the pull with her

that you thought you did.

I'll get someone else. Nate,
please, we need Richard.

No, we need someone better, Luce.

So, you're withdrawing my instructions?

I'm letting you go, yeah, you're fired.

Nate, before you make
any rash decisions...

It's made, Rich, you're gone.

Now I didn't kill Ty and
I shouldn't be in here,

so get the fuck out!

Look, just back me up on this, Luce,

and find me someone who can
get me out of this, yeah?

He can, Nate. You've just
fired your best chance.

Why do you always have
to lose it at people?

Look, I'm sorry, OK? Just...

I'll see you soon. Just
stay strong, please.

- She's right.
- Shut up, Maxine. You're fired too.

Well, being a dickhead's
not going to help.

I'm going to lose her. If I don't
get out of here, Luce will leave me.

I've gotta spill my guts to the
NCC. That will knock some time off.

- No, not happening.
- I've got to.

You tell them nothing!

Now you think very carefully
about this, for everyone's sake.

He just needs to calm down and
then we can work something out.

Because right now there's
no food in the fridge,

I need petrol and I've
got 10 in my wallet.

And I know that's selfish,

thinking of myself
when he's in there, but,

I mean, I've got clothing
and jewellery I could sell.

But the mortgage.
They'll take the house.

It's OK, you won't lose
access to your bank accounts.

I don't have any.

But you must have a credit or debit
card, even a supplementary one.

No, he's got all the cards. What
would have happened to that stuff?

All personal items
get bagged and stored.

- You can apply to have them released.
- I don't even know his PIN, anyway.

Did he really handle all the money?

Yeah, why is that so strange?

So, when Eddie was run
off the road last night,

he got minor whiplash
and a couple of scratches.

The airbags work, it seems.
Did he see the driver?

Told the police it was too dark.

All we know is the other car was blue,

from a scrape of paint on his car.

It all happened so fast.
I swear, I saw nothing.

Have you had a falling
out with anyone recently?

- Arguments? Fights?
- No.

What about the Devils Football Club?

Were questions asked about
your supplement program

after Tyler Perati died?

The Devils took ever ASADA
test without a single failure.

Are they on the same program this year?

Not at the moment.
Anyone upset about that?

Not that I know of.

So, this was a couple of
days ago. What was it about?

Well, Maxine was angry that I
cancelled Lucy Baldwin's contract

as the face of the clinic, but I had to.

Her husband killed Tyler Perati.

You expect us to believe

that Maxine was that
furious over a PR contract?

It was a good earner for
her, so, yeah, she was angry.

Do you think Maxine ran me off the road?

Possibly, but if so, we don't
think it was about Lucy Baldwin.

Can you remember who came into your
clinic right after that argument?

We have access to the footage
from this camera, Mr Cooke,

so please answer the question.

- Zoe DiCosta.
- And what was she there for?

One of her athletes is injured,
so she asked if I could help.

Could you?

I think I said I might have
something to help tissue recovery.

But it wasn't the supplement
you'd given the Devils?

No, no.

It was more a cortisone-type
derivative, I think.

I really didn't give it
much thought, to be honest.

Wasn't paying attention.

Because your mind was still on
the argument with Maxine Reynolds?

Yes. Well, that had really shaken me.

But all you talked
about was Lucy Baldwin.

Janet, you put the wind up Eddie Cooke.

He made a phone call as soon as he left,

to a prepaid mobile phone registered
in the name of Dorothy Gale.

- The Wizard of Oz?
- That's Dorothy's surname.

She had a surname?

Well, so, who's the real Dorothy Gale?

EDDIE: (ON RECORDING)
What the hell's going on?

What have I done wrong?

MAXINE: Why are you calling
this number? I told you not to.

Don't ever do it again.

Maxine's got a burner phone.

Apparently so.

Her legit phone was
geo-located to her place.

It was there all last night.

Which would have been strong evidence

she wasn't out running Eddie down.

But now means nothing.

Could Maxine be the head
of the whole syndicate?

Well, that would mean she's
let her own client go to jail

over a drug that propped
up her betting plunges.

And she's responsible for
Clay's death, and Oliver, too.

(LAUGHS) Interesting business model.

Well, what's worth more?

Sharing Clay Nelson's
retirement earnings,

or a gambling syndicate
raking in millions?

Let's crosscheck Maxine's other phone

with all the other betting plunges.

We need people involved,
times, everything.

BIANCA: Sure, but if she really
wanted that drug from Flynn,

why didn't she just tell
him she's the head honcho?

Maybe she didn't want Flynn
to know how important she was.

Oh, yeah, bit of a
crisis there last night.

Pearl's friend drank something
and started throwing up blood.

So Pearl called Flynn to
get her to the hospital,

which is how we heard, via the TI.

Her friend drank something?

Yeah. Not alcohol,
sounded more like a drug.

You sure about this?

Well, she needed the money. Maybe
SHE swapped it for the water.

Pearl, hi. How's your friend doing?

Yeah, I think she'll be
fine. What are you doing here?

Hospitals have to report cases
involving unknown substances,

and then they let us know.

What did she drink?

I'll go see how Wayne's getting on.

Pearl, we're looking for something
that we believe Flynn had.

Something we think you might have taken.

Did you get it form Flynn?

Pearl, this is very important.

What did it look like? Was it labelled?

Is there any left?

I don't know what it was. It
was in a little brown bottle.

OK, good. Where is it now?

Pearl, tell me where it is, OK?

After your friend vomited, what did
she do? Did she drop it, give it...

She was throwing up blood
everywhere. I freaked, OK?

I didn't care about the fucking bottle!

- Did you know what it was worth?
- I thought she was dying.

I just wanted to get her
here. What do you think I am?

Have you got it?

Oh, you wanna search me or something?

OK, OK. Just please,
don't go back to Flynn.

I'll do whatever I want, alright?

Patient records from the ED
indicate the doctor who treated Cindi

asked them if they still
had some of what she took.

Neither did.

Well, if they didn't have it on them,

it's probably still in the park.

- Could be in Flynn's car.
- But they stole it from him.

If she knows it's worth that much,

would she really leave it in the park?

She's still got it.

(RINGING TONE)

Straight to voicemail.

Pearl, it's Janet. Can you call me?

(PHONE RINGS)

Bonnie, hi. Yeah, it's
me. I need to find Pearl.

Can we track her phone?
Is it on our system?

- Yep.
- Great. Where is she?

Hang on, should be able to...

No, sorry, can't locate
it. She's turned it off.

OK. No. Thanks.

RICHARD: So, from what I can work out,

everything's in Nate's name, except
for the online betting account,

which is empty, and this.

The convertible?

- Why's that in my name? It's his car.
- I don't know.

Camera fines go on your licence?

But because it is in your
name, you can sell it.

He loves that car.

Well, he does have two others

and it's going to be
a while before he can...

No, I... I couldn't do that.

He bought it after the winning
the club's best and fairest.

OK, well, you'll need to ask
him to make you a signatory

on his accounts, or give
you power of attorney.

You shouldn't be trapped like this.

- I'm not trapped.
- OK, I meant shielded.

I'm not a victim, Richard.

It's just how things turned
out. He was taking care of me.

By controlling where you
could go and what you could do?

OK, can you please not
judge me or my life?

- Nate's not some monster.
- I'm not saying that.

If you want to help, help.

If you want to undermine
and criticise, please go.

OK.

Bank statements, credit card statements,

utility bills, phone bills,

mortgage account, though
he'd paid a lot of that off,

and he kept the redraw facility

so you've got several months
before you need to worry about that.

Um, plenty of time to
get things under control,

if you can access your savings account.

OK. Thank you.

No problem. Accountancy
is not everyone's skill.

And how boring would
the world be if it was?

Mm. Exactly.

When I was driving back
here, I called the prison,

just to see if I could
talk to Nate again,

see if he'd calmed down,

and they said I could but
he wouldn't take my call.

He's scared.

He's scared of losing
you, especially now.

Well, thank you again, for
today, for organising things.

Drink?

Mrs Perati?

- Yeah?
- Hi. I'm Janet King.

Yeah, I remember. What do you want now?

I'm looking for Pearl.

Well, she's not here.

I was hoping that you might be
able to tell me where she is.

Little slut. If it wasn't
for her, I'd still have Ty.

He was going to buy me a house.

She's not a slut.
She... she was assaulted.

Nah, nah.

She knew she did the wrong
thing, and that's why she left.

No, it wasn't. You need to
know she didn't feel safe here.

- Oh, is that what she said?
- Yeah.

You just believed her without
having a clue what she's really like?

She's a lying little shit.

But Ty... beautiful boy.

He could outrun all the other kids,

even before he started school.

Pearl tagged along.

She got picked for reps. She
could have been good, too.

But Ty...

..Ty was gonna make
first grade, you know?

He was gonna look after us.

She's your daughter, still,
OK, and she needs you.

Oh, do you think that she's
the only one who's hurting?

What about me?

Did that ungrateful
bitch stop and think...

- OK, she's just a kid.
- ..how I'm feeling?

- You're her mother!
- You know what?

Kev said to get rid of this. You
love her so much, you take it.

- Listen, I really need to find...
- Piss off!

(PHONE RINGS)

- Yes?
- BONNIE: It's on.

- What?
- Pearl's phone.

Great, where is she?

She's at... the corner of James Street

and Pitt Street in Redfern.

- MAN: It's worth it, right?
- Yeah.

- No, it's good stuff, yeah.
- Pearl!

- Oh, shit!
- Oi, come back!

- Why can't you leave me alone?!
- Why can't you tell me the truth?

Why couldn't you tell me that you
were such a below average human?

- Pearl, just stop.
- Fuck off.

Alright. Just...

- Just give it to me, alright?
- What?

That bottle is a
critical piece of evidence

in a national investigation.

Now, if you want to get
arrested, fine, run off.

If not, just give it to
me and we can move on.

Thank you.

I was gonna pay for my own
place. You know that, right?

Thanks a lot.

BIANCA: Her mother disowns her daughter,

and then gets a stranger
to break it to her.

I know, I'm going to
have to find the moment.

It's never-ending for that poor kid.

Bottom line, you had to get that drug.

Yeah, but I shouldn't have broken
the connection I'd made with her.

I'm sure you haven't. She
put up a pretty big wall.

Well, she's 15. God, my...
my tantrums were epic at 15.

I can't imagine you having a tantrum.

Teenage me was a lot
moodier than I am now.

The point is, in that moment,
you had bigger priorities.

That's OK. Stop being
so tough on yourself.

It's a hard habit to break.

I'm doing my best.

Yes, you are.

- Kids asleep?
- Mm-hm.

I just want to check on them.

LUCY: So, why did you become a lawyer?

Seemed like a good idea,

and, um, I really thought
I could make a difference.

Why did you become a pianist?

Or not.

- You still play?
- Hm, not really.

- But you can.
- Yeah, of course.

- Then you're a pianist.
- Oh, a pianist needs an audience.

Did Nate like listening to you play?

No, it wasn't really his thing.

It's funny how you can end up so
far from where you started out.

Yeah, you think you want something

and then it doesn't end up
how you thought it would be.

I always thought I was
going to be someone.

You are.

I'm someone people pretend to talk
to, until they can talk to Nate.

It's always, "Hi, Luce,"
a quick look at my tits

and then, "Where's Nate?"

You never pretended
to talk to me, though.

You always really talked.

And maintained eye contact?

(LAUGHS) Always.

- Play me something.
- No, I'm so out of practice.

I don't care, I want to hear you play.

Come on, please.

Fine.

Right.

(PLAYS CHOPIN'S NOCTURNE OP. 9, NO. 2)

Wow, that's... beautiful.

- Is that Chopin?
- Very good.

- You're incredible.
- So, you play too, huh?

- Oh, no, not really. I...
- Come on.

- ..I listen, I don't play.
- No, play me something.

- No, after that?
- Anything. Come on.

- I don't care. (LAUGHS)
- (GROANS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(PLAYS SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT)

Of course. Beautiful.

Well, if you're not
careful, I will keep playing.

Hey, I, um... I know I've said
this a lot today, but... thank you.

For what?

Listening.

It's been a really long time since
someone really listened... to me.

I have no idea why.

THX-5.

Confirmed as the drug that killed Tyler

and gave Cindi Jackson a gastro bleed.

According to the lab, its main
function is to thin the blood.

Which is what you want in a PED.

Faster blood flow means
faster oxygen uptake,

which means better stamina,
faster recovery times.

- So, what is it, exactly?
- It doesn't have a brand name.

- No brand name?
- It's not on the market.

It IS on the market. It's
in a bottle, it's being used.

But it hasn't actually
been tested on people,

meaning that officially

it's classified as "not
for human consumption".

So, it's not on ASADA's banned list

because people aren't meant to take it.

- Correct.
- That is seriously sicko.

So, he's been used as a guinea pig?

Maybe the whole team were on it.

Given the way they played
last season, I bet they were.

I should rephrase that.

- Yes.
- Sorry.

So, why didn't they all react that way?

Something in Tyler's DNA meant he
had a reaction others didn't get.

Of course, proper clinical trials
would have identified that risk,

but it meant that the slightest knock

led to uncontrolled bleeding.

And, in Cindi's case,
it burst a stomach ulcer

she got from eating
ibuprofen like peanuts.

And it breaks causation
for Nate Baldwin's punch.

- We have to tell Richard.
- I know, but when?

We still want Nate to
tell us what he knows.

At this point in time,
we can't withhold this

in exchange for that information,

or we're perverting
the course of justice.

- We need a different tactic.
- OK, challenge accepted.

I'll go tell Richard we've
saved his number one client.

Isn't this the chance
we were waiting for?

Can't we just say, "Hey, schmuck, talk,

"or we throw the bottle
into the harbour"?

No.

Even as a bluff, just till he fesses up?

Wasn't that the plan before?

There was a moment in time,
before he was convicted,

where a game like that might have worked

because of his desperation,
but now it won't.

But Nate could take us straight
to Maxine, and the mystery man.

He knows who that is.
He knows the top players.

Yes, and he knows that because
he's part of this whole seedy mess,

as are Flynn and Eddie.

I mean, any one of them could
give evidence against their boss

if they weren't so scared of them.

So, this is a new game - the first
person to talk gets protected.

And now we just need
them all under pressure.

(DIALS PHONE)

No, that's... that's great news.

It's fantastic. Yes.

Ah, thank you.

They found the drug that Tyler was on.

- There's grounds for an appeal.
- So Nate will get out?

Almost certainly.

I'll have to see him,
explain the new evidence,

advise on hiring another barrister.

Great. Well, that's... that's wonderful.

- Lucy...
- It stays between us.

Absolutely. Yes.

BIANCA: This is gonna get messy,
bringing Flynn in with Pearl around.

JANET: No, it's better actually.

Flynn, thanks for
agreeing to meet with us.

Have I got a choice?

Are you aware that an untested
drug in your possession

contributed to the
death of Tyler Perati?

- Wait? What?
- This is bullshit.

We have an immediate notice to
attend, which is enforceable.

Hang on. Anything Tyler
had came from Eddie.

I was just doing what he
said. I'm just the assistant.

But the substance was found in your
house, not the Continuum office.

No, no, anything I had
came from him... Eddie.

So you admit possession.

No, well, it depends...

OK, these are the facts, Flynn.

The drug that caused Tyler's death

is the same drug that
almost killed Pearl's friend,

and we know that because
Pearl got the drug from you.

- You stole it, you dumb bitch?
- You gave it to Ty?

- I didn't know what the fuck it was!
- (PEARL RANTS)

Hey, hey, hey! Get the fuck off me!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Aarggh! Aarggh!

- Get off!
- (CONTINUES RANTING)

- Let go of him now!
- Fuck you!

- Shh. Calm down.
- Come on, get in the car.

So, what happens now? You
lock him up now, right?

It depends what he says,
alright? There's no guarantees.

Well, why not? He killed Ty!

Hey, look, he injected him with
a drug, but that's not illegal.

I mean yes, it caused his death,
but I can't prove intent to kill.

Look, I don't know what
the hell that means.

I just want to know what's
going to happen to Flynn!

Well, maybe nothing in the end, OK?
We can scare him but not much more.

You're kidding me, right?

He killed my brother
and you can't do a thing.

The only thing we can
really charge him with

is for what he's doing to you.

- Oh, back to that again, huh?
- Yes, it's a crime I can prove.

So, I've gotta dob him in,
that's what you're saying.

Yes.

You've got this big organisation
with a national investigation,

which is useless without me
going and crying to the cops.

Listen to me.

I need you to go in
there and make a statement

about the abuse you've
suffered at his hands, alright?

And I will be there
every step of the way.

OK? I promise.

And that'll get him locked up?

If I report him, he'll go down, then?

Look, our case is really strong,

so in all likelihood,
yes, he'll go to jail.

OK. Yeah?

Come here. Let's end this, alright?

WOMAN: And can you
tell me your full name?

Pearl Jean Perati.

- Age?
- 15.

How long have you been living
at your current address?

Um, about three weeks.

- And you live with Flynn Pearce?
- Yep.

- How old's he?
- 28.

And you allege that he had
sex with you at that address?

How are you feeling?

So, does Flynn get arrested now?

Yes, he'll be arrested, charged,
and then we'll be given a court date.

- You need me for that?
- Yes.

Do you have any friends,
someone you know,

that you can stay with just for a while?

What about your place?

You've got to have somewhere, right?
You keep saying you want to help me.

- I do want to help you, Pearl.
- Got a spare room, then?

- No, I...
- Sofa?

Look, I've got...

..I've got seven-year-old twins, OK?

So it's not as easy as just saying,
"Hey, come and stay with us."

- Why?
- Well, it's complicated.

You think I'm gonna get 'em pissed?

Steal their teddy bears?

Leave porn up on their
computer or something?

Yeah. Yeah, right. Great.

Listen, Pearl, my kids
are my top priority,

but that doesn't mean I don't want
to find an answer for you, alright?

- What, then?
- It's just not that.

'Cause I got nothin'.

This is me, yeah? This is all I got.

I... I...

..I will help you find
somewhere, alright?

I promise you.

Alright, this is just until we
can find somewhere permanent.

In you go.

Cool.

So, this is a serviced apartment,
so it comes with some rules.

Rules? Gonna give me rules?

- Well, I am paying for it.
- So you should.

OK, let's lose the attitude, please.

Thank you for the place
to stay, Miss King.

I'll be forever grateful

and do exactly what you want
me to so I don't get thrown out.

(LAUGHS) Oh, no, wait,

that's the deal you just
got me out of, isn't it?

People are always wanting to help me out

as long as I do exactly as I'm told.

Tell you what, let's just, um...

..let's try and find
some common ground, yeah?

You're here on your own,
in a very safe place,

and you'd like to stay here, yes?

- Yeah.
- OK, that's good.

Now, some things are going
to make that difficult,

like excessive noise, loud music,
parties, damage to property.

Now, I'm not setting any
terms, I'm not telling you

what you can and can't do,

but I'm just letting you know that

if any of your neighbours
make any complaints,

you won't be able to stay here.

OK, you understand?

Yeah, alright.

Cool?

(LAUGHS) You don't
say that much, do you?

No.

- Yeah. No, we're cool.
- Great. I've got to get to work.

- We'll speak soon.
- Alright. Yep.

FLYNN: I didn't know what the stuff was.

We just got it delivered and told
that that's what the Devils were on.

Five mils, twice weekly.
I just followed protocol.

- And you never took any home?
- No.

And if that's what Pearl
says, it's bullshit.

I know my rights. And my dad
knows some pretty good lawyers.

And the State Police Commissioner.

Well, I'm with the Feds.

And I don't care who your father knows,

because we've already
got compelling evidence

of at least one count of perjury.

(DEVICE BEEPS)

EDDIE: (ON RECORDING) I need
it now. How much have you got?

FLYNN: 50 mils. I kept
one bottle, that's all.

I've been... I've been bugged?
How long's this been going on for?

TONY: Long enough,

so continuing to lie to us
would not be wise, Mr Pearce.

I need a lawyer.

Request denied under Section 2 of
the National Crimes commission Act.

Well, I'm not answering
any more questions.

Well, I hope you
brought your toothbrush,

because you'll be in custody

until your cooperation
is full and complete.

OK, alright. That wasn't me.

I mean, that... that was Eddie.

I just did what he said.

- Who else was involved?
- I don't know.

Do you know who asked
Eddie to provide the players

with that supplement?

No, I don't. I don't know
anything. I just work there.

Did you ever suspect that
supplement was being used

to ensure a huge bet on
their performance paid off?

No, I just did my job.
I don't know anything.

Eddie, he's the one
that can tell you stuff.

Hearing of Flynn Pearce
concluded at 2:15pm.

- OK. Is that... that's it?
- Not quite.

The state police would like a word now.

And once you realise the
totality of what you'll be facing,

you may want to reconsider
some of your answers.

He's all yours.

Was it Eddie who arranged the bets?

And organised the drug program?

I think Maxine's more likely.

Yeah, but is she the big
boss or just one of the gang?

When Flynn comes begging for a
deal on his under age sex matter,

that will be my first question.

Can you do a deal with Flynn? After
promising Pearl he'd go to jail?

That was quick thinking, by the way,

letting her know he was
involved in Tyler's death

so we could get him
charged with something.

Hopefully I don't have to
sacrifice one outcome for the other.

If Nate knows Flynn's about to
do a deal, he should talk first.

Well, the sooner Flynn's in
court, the better, in that case.

Don't give any of them time to think.

Good luck managing that outcome.

Challenge accepted.

OWEN: So, what's all this about?

TONY: I am aware that
due to developments

in one of our references, you
were forced to withdraw charges

over Clay Nelson's death, which
did result in much public criticism.

Well, let me assure you,
confidence in the performance

of the DPP remains at an all-time high.

Well, that's fortunate, because
we've now uncovered evidence

which gives Nate Baldwin
very strong grounds

to appeal his conviction.

What exactly is your definition
of inter-agency cooperation, Tony?

I mean, what, reversing every
decision my office makes?

Oh, no, no, I just
want you to be prepared

to take the running on
this one off the press

and not get caught on the
back foot a second time.

How very generous of you.

Well, think of it as an opportunity

to promote the transparency
and fairness of the DPP.

And if new evidence comes to
light, you act on it quickly,

without obstructing due process.

So, first Janet and now you
telling me how to do my job?

Well, I thought you'd
appreciate the opportunity

to limit any potential
damage to the DPP.

I'm just wondering what
you expect in return

for such a gracious favour,

or are you going to
surprise me and say nothing?

No, no, no, there is something.

If you could accelerate this
matter against Flynn Pearce,

sex with a minor, the NCC
would be extremely grateful.

And the reason you need it accelerated?

- Confidential, of course.
- Of course.

I'm not trying to tell you
how to do your job, Owen,

I'm just trying to work
together as colleagues

in support of the rule of law.

OK, Flynn Pearce, charged with
sexual intercourse with a child

between the age of 10 and 16.

Since your speciality is
sex crimes, I thought of you.

Mm, one way to earn a reputation.

You probably know the case law on this

better than anyone else here.

- Thank you. Does that mean it's mine?
- I think so.

It's just the NCC seem to have a
particular interest in this case.

Why?

Well, that's what I'm
hoping you can find out.

Look, they're desperate
to have this guy convicted,

so Janet won't be able to help herself.

She'll want to talk to you about it,
tell you how to run the prosecution.

Oh, that's something to look forward to.

I want to know what this
case really means to her.

Actually as flattering as that is,
Janet rarely confides in me, Owen,

so I doubt she's going
to start doing it now.

Well, it depends on how
much she wants this guy,

and how much your charm persuades her

to be more forthcoming with details.

I really don't think she's going
to tell me what you want to hear,

'cause she'll know this
conversation has probably happened.

Still, if you're wrong, let me know.

I'm sure you'll do a
very good job with it.

Thank you.

(PHONE RINGS)

NCC, Bonnie Mahesh speaking.

Bonnie, Owen Mitchell.

Mr Mitchell, hello.

Who did you want to
speak to? Janet, Tony?

Ah, actually you.

Oh. Really?

Yeah, you made some interesting comments

at the Gender Equity
breakfast the other day.

Wouldn't mind hearing
you expand on them.

- Ah, sure. I'd love to.
- Great.

Well, I'm in meetings all afternoon,

but maybe we can meet end of the day?

Yeah, I can do that.

Good. Alright, see you then.

JANET: Your grounds for appeal.

Thanks. Appreciate this.

It's not actually a favour.

I mean, obviously we have
to release any information

relating to wrongful conviction.

However, I'm hoping
you'll do the same for us

with any information
that Nate might tell you.

I doubt he'll tell me anything.

Well, others are very
close to making statements

about the same criminal matter,

so it would be in your client's
best interests to get in first.

Actually, he's not a client anymore.

He sacked me, so I
can't take instruction.

Well, someone has to run
his appeal. It should be you.

- I lost the trial.
- This is straightforward.

- The drug breaks causation, so...
- So anyone can do it.

Well, you know the
case better than anyone.

You owe it to him, Richard.

I do know that.

What's the problem?

I just don't feel comfortable
representing Nate anymore.

Why, because he fired you?

You're going back to him with good news.

Come on, don't be such a sook.

See you at remand tomorrow, then.

What are you doing here?

I assume Richard told you
about the new evidence?

Yes, which means no deals with you.

So if that's what
you're after, forget it.

Check it out. Driver's side.

And it looked pretty
new. No signs of rust.

Let's compare it with
Eddie's car, passenger side.

WAYNE: Yep, that could be a match.

And we know she was furious with Eddie

for not handing over the drug.

But, in fact, that's all we have.

They argued, she got
annoyed, crashed into him.

It doesn't support a serious charge.

Well, let's see if Nate
can tell us more tomorrow.

- Can you take these?
- Yeah.

- Where are you going?
- It's after five.

- I thought you liked overtime.
- Hot date. I'll catch up tomorrow.

I didn't think she ever left this place.

Even an analyst deserves a private life.

BONNIE: I'm glad you thought
my comments were interesting.

Well, they were actually
surprisingly insightful.

I know staffing quotas to address
workplace gender inequality

can seem contentious, but...

Yeah, well, actually, you know what?

I'm more interested in hearing
about how you ended up at the NCC.

They just made me an offer.

Just after I finished my Masters

in Political Science and
International Relations.

Helping address crime on a national
scale sounded really exciting.

So, what does an analyst
actually do? I'm intrigued.

Oh, I've got a range of skills.

I'm very multitalented.
I could talk for ages.

Right, OK. Let's go and have some
dinner and you can talk some more.

- Awesome. Thanks.
- Hop in.

No, you can't live on chips.

Spaghetti's easy to make, alright?

The directions are on the packet.

Yeah, you turn it over and there's a...

Wow.

Is putting her in an
apartment a good idea?

Well, it's just until I
can think of something else.

This is a much bigger issue
than finding a bed for one girl.

- That isn't going to fix the problem.
- Well, fixes it for her.

And I have to start somewhere, so...

I'm sure you know what you're doing,

but I'm always here to
talk these things through.

Except when you're not.

I have to pick up a change
of clothes occasionally.

Why don't you leave more here?
You know, save you the hassle.

How much more?

Whatever you like. I'm sure I
can make room in my wardrobe.

Is now a good time to mention
that my lease is up for renewal

in a few weeks?

Now's an excellent time.

Why don't you move in?

Hang on, shouldn't we
talk about it first?

We just did.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Alright, kids, dinnertime.

- Yay!
- Set the table.

- Are you sure?
- I'll go get the curry.

Yeah, it's good.

Put that away, can you,
and set some plates?

NATE: The club knew? The bastards!

They said those supplements were safe.

I asked Mitchell a hundred times.

And they said nothin'
and they let me go down.

No, they're going to cop it big
for this. We're suing 'em, Stirlo.

- Technically...
- Look, I didn't...

I didn't mean to sack you, alright?

That was just... It
was heat of the moment.

I trust you, no-one else now.

So, how long before I get out?

I'll lodge the notice of appeal today.

They'll set a date to hear it soon.
It should be pretty straightforward.

(SIGHS)

I guess I ought to say thanks.

All we did was act
appropriately, given the evidence.

Although, I do now have
a couple of questions.

I don't have to say nothin' but, right?

It's entirely up to you.

Look, I wasn't completely
sure what we were on, you know?

I never really... I never really
knew exactly what it was at all.

But you did know about the
four matches that were fixed.

And we know from both your wife's
betting account and your defunct one,

that you've been heavily
involved in illegal gambling

for at least a couple of years.

I wouldn't say heavily.

Not a major player, no, but involved
enough to face serious charges.

Unless you tell us who
those major players are.

So I end up dead, like Oliver Pittman,

or run off the road like Eddie Cooke?

Nate, we know three or four other
minor players, just like you,

but we can only protect the
first person who talks to us.

Do you understand that?

Yep.

So, who told you what to bet on?

Nate, listen to me.

The only way I can guarantee
that you don't end up back in here

is if you're the first
person to say something.

Now, I've already got one other
person of interest in custody,

so please, please just
give me some names.

I can't.

We're talking about very hard people.

I know that.

And I can help you with them if
you just please give me some names.

Please.

Nate.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

(SARCASTICALLY) Thank you for your help.

I doubt that anything I said
would have made a difference.

You know, the Richard I used to
know would have at least tried.

TONY: Mr Cooke, we
now have two witnesses

stating that the drug THX-5

supplied to Northern Devils
players came from you.

- Will you confirm that's true?
- It was all Mitchell Douglas's idea.

How does a football coach
even know about a drug

not yet authorised
for human consumption?

He asked for something
to realise their potential

without testing positive.

And where did you find it?

From a compounding
chemist - Lionel Cartwright.

He imports the ingredients
and makes it up.

Nothing illegal about
that. But how is it ethical?

Administering a drug without knowing
what the side effects could be,

or how it affects various
genetic abnormalities.

But it was working.

I asked Mitchell to tell me
if there were any problems

and he said there weren't.

Why didn't you just tell the club

you were giving them a drug not
cleared for human consumption?

They never asked.

All they said was, "Is
it banned?" And it wasn't.

They never asked why it wasn't banned.

Were you aware of the huge
bets that were being placed

on the Devils performing
well last season?

- I'm not a gambler, I'm a scientist.
- Answer the question, Mr Cooke.

Yes.

- How? Who told you?
- I can't recall.

But it was made very clear what
was at stake and who was behind it?

I can't recall.

Have you bet on the Devils,
or helped fix any matches?

I don't need to fix
matches, I create winners.

That's what people want to see,

high performance athletes
pushing the limits.

And do you accept that
one of those athletes died

as a direct consequence of your program?

She can't attack me like
this. I am highly qualified...

Oh, stop complaining
and answer the question.

Do you acknowledge that
you and your program

were responsible for the
death of Tyler Perati?

This is a closed hearing,
right? None of this is public?

The transcripts are
classified, that's correct.

Yes.

Thank you.

And while the transcripts
are classified,

at the conclusion of this reference,

key findings may be
published at our discretion.

So, I have to forewarn
you that such a disclosure,

in this instance, would have a very
negative impact on your business.

Or we could take into consideration
the extent of your cooperation, so...

..in view of that, let me ask you again.

Who made it clear what was at stake,
and who did they say was behind it?

I can't recall.

JANET: Smug bastard.

Is it a crime to supply a drug
not formally approved by the TGA?

Well, not if it isn't
a controlled substance.

It just breaches health regulations.

We can get him for dealing in
steroids with Shannon Hinksman.

- That's illegal.
- Generally considered trivial.

Unless it's part of the organised
crime network behind the gambling.

We can't do anything
until someone talks.

Hey, team. Latest memo from
the world of forensic analysis.

Clay Nelson's mystery visitor, AKA,
also the bagman for Nate Baldwin -

his phone called Maxine's
secret prepay at least 17 times.

And it gets better.

Other numbers to call
Maxine's burner belong to

a fullback for the Griffins and
the captain of the Bull Ants.

They're the teams that lost
to the Devils last season.

Maybe we DON'T need someone to talk.

Nate has to sign a notice
of intention to appeal,

and the CCA only accept new evidence

if ignoring it would lead to
a miscarriage of justice, so...

Oh, shut up, Stirlo. We are celebrating.

Now, crack this open with me, will you?

- It's barely lunchtime.
- Oh, who cares?

You know, I knew you'd sort this.

Nate gets out and
nobody's dobbed on anyone.

God, I feel like a semitrailer
has rolled off my chest.

- Now...
- (POP!)

Ah! Get some glasses. Let's drink up.

Yeah, that's not really been
working out too well for me lately.

Well, it's been working out for me.

(KNOCKS)

Or it was.

TONY: Ms Reynolds, did you know
about the unauthorised nature

of the performance-enhancing drug

Eddie Cooke was giving
the Devils players?

Well, I knew there was
a supplement program.

Did you ask Mr Cooke for
some of that substance?

No, I don't think so. Not
that I can recall, anyway.

Have you recently argued with Mr Cooke?

I argue with everyone. It's
hard to remember specifics.

Where were you the
night of the accident?

I was at home.

In bed, alone.

How did the car get damaged?

God, I don't know. There are
a lot of bad drivers around.

How long did you
represent Clay Nelson for?

Almost 10 years.

- Did you become close in that time?
- Yeah, I guess we did.

Did he ever confide in you
about his money problems?

Well, he'd whinge I
wasn't making him enough,

but all my clients do that.

Were you aware he asked Oliver
Pittman to orchestrate a spot bet?

No, I didn't.

But you were aware he
had a gambling habit.

Well, vaguely.

And you were also aware that
at least two of your clients

were involved in a very large
illegal betting syndicate.

No.

For the past two or three years,

were you telling Clay
and Nate what to bet on?

No.

Did you know that the morning Clay died,

he was about to tell us
who runs that syndicate?

No, I didn't.

Do you believe his
death was an accident?

Yes, it was a terrible accident.

Yes, it was.

One which left his son,
Reed, without a father.

He was a boy you've probably
known from the day he was born.

Was he close to his dad?

(SIGHS)

Yes, they were a great team.

Does he miss him?

Of course he does.

Do you think he'll ever recover?

No, I don't.

Why did that boy lose
a father, Ms Reynolds?

It was an accident.

Why has that boy been left fatherless?

It was bad luck.

Doesn't he deserve to know?

To understand what happened?

Would you rob a child of those answers

for the rest of his life?

What do you want me to say?

It was an accident.

Well, then, who's this man?

(DEVICE BEEPS)

CLAY: (ON RECORDING) I'll
bring you all down with me.

MAN: Careful, Clay.

If you do that, mate,
we're gonna kill your son.

His school looks really nice, Clay.

How dare you threaten me with that?

That's your choice.

So, the only real question you've
gotta ask yourself is this...

..who do you love more?

Yourself... or your son?

(DEVICE BEEPS)

TONY: Ms Reynolds?

I don't know.

Well, given the number of
times you've called each other,

we find that unbelievable.

- What's his name?
- I don't know.

I don't.

- BONNIE: Did you break her?
- Not quite.

Oh, damn. In other news, the Devils
are holding a press conference.

Wayne, let's go.

YANNI: The Northern Devils Football
Club is shocked by these allegations

and want to make it perfectly clear,

coach Mitchell Douglas acted alone

in authorising a performance
enhancing drug be given to players.

- It was all Mitchell's idea.
- Convenient.

The club is totally opposed
to the use of such drugs,

and we stand proudly by our record

of never failing an ASADA-approved test.

JOURNALIST: Have the
Devils been penalised?

Mitchell betrayed the faith
and trust we placed in him,

and his contract with the
Northern Devils is terminated,

effective immediately.

- Thank you.
- Who will replace Mitchell?

MITCHELL: Eddie Cooke told me the
boys would get a supplement, OK?

That's all I knew.
I've told the APL that.

It wasn't my idea.

Eddie said it was
safe, and I trusted him.

He's the scientist, not me.

Is this how the Devils made it to
the semis last year, on this drug?

We got there on bloody hard
work and bloody talented players.

Those boys are my life. I
would never risk their health.

JOURNALIST 1: Mitchell, any
other clubs you know involved?

JOURNALIST 2: Is this
the end for the Devils?

JOURNALIST 3: Have the
reports come back yet?

(REPORTERS CLAMOUR)

Are we recording this? See his car?

We need that last frame blown up.

It was Yanni and Eddie, alright?

I lost my career over something
they organised, not me.

That's not the only reason
you're here, Mr Douglas.

Where were you the night Eddie
Cooke was run off the road?

Ah, I don't remember.

These pictures of you arguing with him,

what was that about?

I don't remember.

Alright, the new scratch on your car

that matches damage and
paint residue on Eddie's car

how do you explain that?

The arsehole.

Giving that shit to my boys.

Ty said he was getting
nosebleeds, bruising.

I spoke to Eddie, but
he said not to worry.

And you were satisfied with that answer?

Tyler died. Hell no.

But Eddie still wouldn't
give me any answers,

so I... followed him home that night.

Thought I'd doorstop him.

But I got so angry, I just... lost it.

Look, I know I should
have asked more questions,

but the results that
we were getting, it's...

When you're riding a wave like
that, no-one wants to get off.

Because you were making
big money gambling on it?

No, no, I would never bet on my
own team. It's against the rules.

So's doping.

Yeah.

Why didn't you ask more
questions about the drug?

Was it because you were in on the bet?

- No.
- Who else was in on it?

- Eddie, Maxine Reynolds...
- I... I don't know.

I didn't ask because, um...

..it made me look good, too.

I was the coach everyone wanted.

Eddie swore it was safe

and I would have done anything to
keep the boys playing like that.

I know what it means to win.

I was one of them once.

Winning's like a drug
too, you know? It's...

I let them down.

I let Tyler down.

And he died because of that.

BIANCA: So, the road rage
was Mitchell, not Maxine.

- Yeah, but even so...
- Check this out, sports fans.

One particular call from
Clay Nelson's mystery visitor

went to Maxine's burner the same
day Oliver's wide wasn't called.

And Maxine was at the game, remember?

Interesting.

And even more interesting-er,
check out the time.

14 seconds before Oliver's wide.

So mystery man's watching the odds,

he called Maxine and
she signalled Oliver.

That's my guess, too.

- We need a warrant.
- Maxine's place. Onto it.

OFFICER 1: Clear!

- Was this door open?
- Yeah.

- OFFICER 2: Clear!
- OFFICER 1: All clear!

OFFICER 2: First floor clear.

If this evidence is confirmed, she's
no longer just linked to this world,

she's directly involved.

So Maxine's dead or guilty.

As Tony says, we follow the money.

Shouldn't be asking
me if I'd be interested

in being involved in match fixing.

No, it wasn't a mugging,
it was a message.

You've always been terrible
at hiding things, Richard.

What have you done, slept with a client?

He was arrested. How does
he have any rights at all?

You've seen how half
of these trials end.

- Why are you pushing so hard?
- She has no-one.

Shit. (GRUNTS)

Wayne, what's going on?

Gun! Get down!
