What's up, Dad?

What do you mean?

You're smiling.

Yeah.

Weird, isn't it?

Attorney-General Joe Sandilands

has confirmed that he is one of 14 state MPs

who has regularly attended the exclusive Darlinghurst brothel

known as Club Jules.

Footage of Mr Sandilands leaving the brothel

was released via YouTube last night.

In a statement released this morning,

the Attorney-General expressed "deep regret"...

Oh, Joe. You poor bastard.

..and his colleagues.

The Premier is yet to make a statement.

No luck, I'm afraid.

You're kidding me.

No-one on this floor has a single Panadol?

Panamax? Disprin? Aspirin? Codeine, Nurofen in one form or another?

I'll take it anally, if required. What can I say?

This floor is loaded with booze, coke, sex toys, debt...

I don't need my résumé shouted back at me, woman.

I just need something to kill the bastard behind my eyes.

You right? I'm right.

Gun? Check.

Knife?

Check.

Stockings?

You're in charge of the stockings, Tones.

Bullshit I was!

Good evening.

Uh... Oh...

I have the stepmother of all headaches.

A headache, you say.

Yes.

I'd like something strong for it, if possible.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Put your fucking hands in the air now! Do as you're told.

Open the fucking till. Hurry up here!

Fellas, what are you doing? Open it!

Boys, you're on 'Candid Camera'.

Shut up! Hurry up, mate.

I'd just cut my losses and bolt if I were you.

I won't say a word. Put your hands in the air.

Is that branch loaded, mate? Shut up, smart arse.

I know a thing or two about the law - not much, granted -

but if you just bolt now...

Oh!

Hurry up! It won't come out!

What are you doing? I can't get it open.

Leave it. Let's go. Come on! Stay down.

Hurry up, Tones. Hurry up! Let's go. Come on!

Aargh!

Oh, fuck! Tones, get up! Tones, come on!

Tones! Tones! Come on, man!

You're in luck. This should do the trick.

Fucking hell. Oh, fuck. Fu...

Where's my parade?

I beg your pardon?

He gets called a hero, he gets a safe seat in Parliament, he gets my girl.

Ow!

What do I get?

Hello?

Barn?

So are you gonna die?

Well, I've been thinking a bit about it lately.

Barn!

Don't ever pull this stunt again.

I'm not your next of kin.

In fact, I couldn't imagine a worse fate.

I had a mental blank.

You just don't get it, do you?

We don't exist any longer, Cleaver.

I'm not gonna bail you out or loan you any more money

or listen to you rationalise your pathetic self-indulgences.

Alright. If you can't get over a little grudge...

A little grudge?!

He screwed my wife.

Barn, it's you and me, mate. Come on, we can get over this.

I'm already over it, 'mate'.

I'm over it.

I'm over Scarlet and I'm over you.

Ta-ta.

Sorry, this might be a little...tight.

Oh! Fuck!

Until I'm informed otherwise,

this is OUR house and they are OUR children.

OK.

Have you seen this?

"Glebe woman bashed and robbed."

No, below that.

"Barista assaul...

"Barista assaulted in Kings Cross chemist."

Pretty funny.

You haven't made a cup of coffee for yourself since I've known you.

How come Glebe woman gets a bigger story than me?

I mean, she's...Glebe woman.

Her only significant achievement's having an address.

I at least have a profession.

Ah! I'd kill for a skinny latte right now, thanks.

And how come Glebe woman gets 'bashed' and I get 'assaulted'?

I mean, 'bashed' sounds so much worse.

Oh, it's a blessing in disguise. It's a bloody good disguise.

You're briefed to appear for Travis Simon Tanner,

who is alleged to have assaulted and robbed...

Glebe woman.

I'm gonna get the bugger off.

She's gonna find out who's boss.

Show Glebe woman what it's like to be below the fold.

Yes, you do that.

Oh, by the way, can I have a muffin to go?

He's 19. He has two priors as a juvenile for...

Violent assault and robbery.

Excellent.

Just got out of Grafton. This is his first charge as an adult.

I'm not even gonna try and hide my disappointment, Simone.

I was hoping our Mr Tanner might be innocent.

See, I have a score to settle.

Well, before you fall into a deep despond,

it seems very possible that the police may have jumped the gun

and picked up an easy target.

How so?

Because, whilst our Mr Tanner does fit the description

given by Ms...Jah...Jajou?

Jajou, Jajou. Yep, yep, Glebe woman.

Quite.

..we have a witness who says she saw him in the city

at precisely the time the attack was alleged to have taken place

in Glebe on...

Glebe woman.

Really? Yes.

And this, you see, is how you came to get this brief.

How?

Apparently, the witness is a friend of yours.

Who?

It was about 8:00.

I was late to meet David, so I bolted out onto Phillip Street.

And - wham! - we collided.

I dropped everything.

He was very apologetic and helped me pick up my stuff.

And we chatted for a minute and introduced ourselves.

He told you his name? Yeah.

Travis. Travis Tanner.

Next morning, I'm listening to the radio.

And after all that bullshit about the election,

I hear this story about this woman from Glebe...

Glebe woman. Yeah.

..who was assaulted about 8:00

and that a Travis Tanner had been charged.

Right, nothing on the radio about a barista from Kings Cross?

No.

Anyway, I thought, "There can't be that many Travis Tanners."

So I give the Crown defender's office a call

and I get his solicitor's name and I tell her what I saw.

And?

And Simone and I got chatting and I mentioned your name and...

Uh, any distinguishing features?

Yeah, a barbed wire tatt on his shoulder. His left, I think.

I gotta get back. OK.

OK.

You know this is proof, don't you?

Proof of what?

Proof of our spiritual connection.

We both witnessed assaults on the same night.

In some cultures, we'd be forced to marry.

Well, I guess we're lucky we live in a city

where the spiritual doesn't count for much.

What were you doing in Phillip Street, Travis?

Um, staying in some shit hole near Central.

The halfway house? Yep.

I went down to see the harbour and the bridge and that.

Right, were you gonna meet some mates down there?

Nuh. Just...wanted to see the blue.

The colour blue? Yeah.

But it wasn't sunny that day, was it?

Night before, the forecast was sweet.

Fine and sunny all day, but... they're all just full of shit.

Oh, don't get me started on weathermen, mate.

How long did you stay down by the harbour?

Probably...most of the day.

Despite the absence of the colour blue.

Blue would've been nice, but...

I've just gotta walk around like a regular bloke.

Hmm.

The sun went down and I just stared at the lights.

It was good.

And then you, uh, just walked back to the old halfway house.

Yep.

Past the law school.

Why did you go that way?

I don't know Sydney that well. I'm from Taree.

But it was outside the law school you bumped into Miss Partridge.

Well, they tell me it was a law school.

I wouldn't know what the fuck it was.

Yeah. It's a law school.

Mick. Col.

Can we have a private word?

We heard what happened the other night at the chemist's.

Oh, yeah, you read the papers.

Yep. Couldn't grab us a short black, could you, mate?

One of the boys just happens to be the son of good friend of mine.

Ah!

The one who clobbered you. Ah.

Ah, indeed. Not me for a change, hey, Cleave?

Yeah, that's right. So do I get a credit?

The thing is, mate, the other kid, Tony, he's dead.

Turns out he had some sort of congenital brain defect.

Shit. No shit.

Well, I didn't need a neurosurgeon to tell me that.

They're both fucking idiots.

And, you know, the pair of them

have always been embarrassments to their families.

Fuckin' pot heads.

But Josh, fair fuckin' dinkum,

even before he started on the weed, he was just plain dumb.

His father's a very, very good friend of mine.

Best break-and-enter man in the business.

So I need to know what really happened, Cleave.

Oh, well, look, I was still a bit woozy,

but, um...but I vaguely remember one of them clobbering

the security camera with a lump of wood

and hitting the other one...

Tony.

..Tony, in the follow-through.

He didn't mean to do it. It's manslaughter at worst.

Good.

His father thinks a stretch for manslaughter will sort him out.

Teach him the trade. Yeah.

But murder? No.

His mother couldn't handle that.

Barney's missus has been briefed for the prosecution.

Will that be a problem? Well, not for me, mate.

Golden rule - you can't cross-examine a friend.

How are you?

Thanks for coming. Oh! That's alright.

Can't really trust the phones at the moment.

How are you going?

Sal's given me two weeks to find a new place.

Taken the kids to Bowral until I move out.

She didn't know?

She knew. Course she knew.

It's not what I did. It's the humiliation that she can't handle.

Spoken to Jules? Yeah, yeah.

I tried calling her, but...

Well, she's lying understandably low.

There's a lot of pretty pissed-off people.

What happened?

Someone hacked into the system.

You know, got the client list, recognised a few names.

If they got the client list, then they...

No, no, it's alright. You don't need to worry.

It's not the girls they're interested in. It's the celebs.

You know, and the chances of anyone putting two and two together

are a million to one.

I don't like those odds in this town.

Have you thought of telling David?

We're too far down the track, Joe.

You OK?

Sick of the bullshit. Hmm.

Sick of the bullshit.

Tell me, what... When we were, um...

..together at the club, did you ever enjoy it?

We had a lot of laughs.

Yeah, I know we had a lot of laughs,

but...the whole thing - did you ever...

Joe, let's not dwell on... Didn't think so.

That's not what I meant. That's exactly what you meant.

Ah, Cleaver was always the one for you, wasn't he?

Oh, don't be stupid. No, I...

I remember Jules's drinks parties.

Your face would light up when Cleaver came in.

Hey? Off his tree.

As he invariably was.

And then I'd go and look for you a little later on

and you'd both be gone.

Did you fall in love with him?

Once or twice.

But to use an expression Cleaver's fond of,

he's a hopeless case.

Hmm, another expression that he's fond of -

hopeless cases are the only ones worth fighting for.

You ever tell him what you felt?

Hmm!

"For all sad words of tongue and pen,

"the saddest are these -

"it might have been."

You've already made a joint decision to divorce.

What is it you seek to achieve by coming to therapy?

It's for the children, primarily.

We've moved on from each other.

So we...we thought it would be a good idea to see if someone could help us.

Hmm, help them. Yeah, help the children.

That's who I meant by 'them'.

I was just trying to be clear. I think it was already pretty clear.

You could've been clearer. Alright. I'm sorry.

Alright, what were you playing at?

What do you mean?

Well, this Zen facade is a little wearing.

It's not a facade. Oh, bullshit.

I feel OK, Scarlet.

It's as much a surprise to me.

I just...I feel OK.

The fog has lifted. No pain, no anger.

Just a desire and a need to move on.

So...?

So we move on.

It's what you want, right? Yeah.

OK.

Ah, yes. I told you the patches wouldn't work, Darver.

The only way the patches are gonna work, mate,

is if you want to quit smoking.

And you don't want to quit smoking.

You're a committed smoker. So be it.

You're also one of the nation's top silks,

so you shouldn't be reduced to hanging around

in fucking toilet cubicles,

puffing away like some adolescent boy.

So come on, mate. Be a man. Out and proud.

Jesus Christ. Give it a fucking rest, will you?

You pricks are all the same.

You can't even have a piss without talking shit.

Yes. Uh, sorry, I mistook you for somebody else.

I'm meeting some prick called Greene. Where's he at?

Uh, yes.

The prick Greene is, uh, down the corridor to the left, left again,

then straight ahead.

Look for a door marked 'Tolga Urdan'.

Now, where was I?

Ms Tanner, did you visit Travis when he was in Grafton?

Once or twice.

Look, he know what he done.

If you can't do the time, then don't do the fucking crime.

Yeah, it's just that this is your son's first charge as an adult.

If it goes badly, it's gonna have a really big impact

on the rest of his life.

We're here, aren't we? Just tell us what you want us to say.

It doesn't work that way, Mrs Tanner.

Oh, doesn't it? You must be new at this, love.

Joe.

Hey.

Hi.

I don't think I've got another tear left in me, Barn.

I know how you feel, Sal.

You don't see how it could ever not hurt.

You resign yourself to living with the pain.

But then one day you wake up and it's gone. Hmm?

And you begin again.

I'm having dinner for Fuzz's birthday at my place if you're free.

Yeah, great.

She's coming.

Who? Your mother?

Vampira. Ah.

I've been thinking about my epitaph.

And?

I think I'm going to go with American Typewriter.

I'm sorry?

The font.

I've got no idea what it's gonna say, but it'll look nice.

I was watching you chatting to Scarlet.

I had a sort of Proustian rush.

It was like it was 15 years ago

and we were all at some party together.

I'd be acting the fool

and you two and Barney would be rolling your eyes.

Fuck, I miss it.

Lost you all.

Two of the most important things a man can have -

a loving wife and dear friends -

I've somehow managed to lose all of you.

I fucking love you all.

Most of all, you.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

Just making a bad situation worse.

Get out of the car.

Wendy... Get out of the car, please.

Did you see the list of so-called celebrities from the club

they put in the paper?

It's a bloody outrage. 30 names. Did I get a mention?

I'm only a founding member.

I'm surprised Glebe woman didn't get a guernsey.

I don't know what's going on. I feel like a victim of identity theft.

Who'd wanna be me?

Eh? Some money, eh?

Here you go. That's for you.

I'll have a Scotch, mate.

Joe was just sick of the bullshit, I think.

I'll drink to that.

I saw him the morning he jumped, Cleave.

Oh.

Don't flatter yourself, babe. There was nothing you could've done.

Wasn't there? No, there wasn't.

He sounded so lost.

He was sick of the bullshit - that's what it was.

Well, I'm tired of it too.

Ugh! Fuck, Cleave! I'm not even 30 and I'm tired of it.

Every day with David, at some point,

I have to pretend to be someone I'm not.

I've lied to him about you, about Joe, about the club.

I mean, it's exhausting.

Well, then, tell him the truth. Fuck!

See how he takes it.

If you can't be real with him, what's the fucking point?

You're real with me.

Yeah. Yeah, right.

What? I'm serious. You're real with me.

Who do you feel more real with, him or me?

It's not that simple. Isn't it?

You know the rules, baby.

Nah, it's my first time, actually. Really?

Mmm. So how much for a kiss?

You got cash?

Yeah. How much?

200.

You always carry that much cash with you?

I've been at a funeral.

Yeah...

Excuse me, sir. I need you out of the fountain.

Gentlemen. Sir, out of the fountain, please.

Barney, you bloody idiot!

Cleave?

Yeah. Vince. How are you, mate? Good to see you.

Listen, Barn, get out. Get out, mate. I don't know him.

You know Mr Meagher, don't you? We do, Cleave.

Yeah. We need him out of the fountain.

I don't know him. Get out of there!

He's alright. We've just been to Joe Sandilands's wake.

So he's a bit tired and emotional.

Yeah, he'll be alright. He'll come with me.

Get out of there, Barney!

You need to sober up, Mr Meagher. Listen to your friend.

He's not my mate.

Come on, you bloody idiot... He's alright.

I'll look aft... I'll get him out. He's right.

Come on, Barney. You bloody idiot. Get out of there.

Oh, you... Barney!

Come here, you bloody fool.

Get out, you bloody idiot.

You are gonna owe me big-time.

What time do you call this?

Where have you been?

Mourning a friend.

You only met Joe a few months ago, Mel.

How drunk do you get when someone you actually know dies?

I'm sick of this crap.

This self-indulgent, Paris Hilton crap.

Paris Hilton?!

You're comparing me with Paris Hilton?

You disappear, Mel, all the time. You fucking disappear.

Dinners, lunches.

I take a nap, you're gone three hours.

At first, I thought it was this charming idiosyncrasy,

a sort of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.

But it's no longer charming, nor is it idiosyncratic.

It is childish, self-indulgent, thoughtless bullshit.

Not only are we getting married, but I'm running for Parliament.

So I'm sorry, but I really need to know where you were.

You said that your political career wouldn't interfere with my choices,

that I could do my own thing.

Where were you last night?!

And don't try and get out of it by giving me another fucking story

about your dead parents.

Come on, mate. Come on. Drink up.

Oh!

That's it. Bit more. Oh, no.

I tried being you tonight.

And?

Christ, it must be awful.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I ended up in one of those bars, the sort of places you go to.

And I paid this woman 200 bucks to kiss me.

I've been feeling fine.

Here I was in this dark room, strange woman, kissing her.

And it all came back to me.

Like a flood.

What did?

The pain, the anger, the fear.

I burst into tears and then I threw up on her.

Oh, Jesus, Barnyard.

200 bucks.

Why on earth, Minister,

would you deny the fact that you can speak French?

Were you scared that if this sensational news got out,

it might make you look un-Australian?

Well, it doesn't make you look un-Australian, mate.

But I'll tell you what,

lying about it makes you look like an imbecile.

It's this sort of dumbing down, constantly patronis...

Out we get. Home, James. Home, James. Good boy.

Hey, just wait there for a sec.

Make yourself nice.

What have you done to him? Me? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The last time I saw him like this

was when you took him out for his buck's night.

You're welcome, Red. How could you let him get like this?!

It's nothing to do with me. He did it all by himself.

It's never your fault, is it? I've been worried sick.

It's a little late to play the concerned wife, don't you think, Red?

How dare you? How dare you?

We buried a good friend yesterday

and I was worried about how Barney would handle it.

Or is there something wrong with that?

Just go, will you? And leave my family alone.

For what it's worth, Red, it looks like he handled it quite well.

Fuck off!

I think we should ask him to redraft this.

Parts of it aren't even coherent, let alone accurate.

Mm-hm. Yeah, that's fine.

Look, I've changed my mind - I'm going to do Cleaver Greene's cross.

But you said he was an old friend. You can't cross-examine a friend.

I know what I'm doing.

But you could get into a lot of trouble.

Mr Greene,

you visited the pharmacy for what purpose?

I had... I had a headache.

According to your statement,

the defendant and his now-deceased accomplice,

they entered the pharmacy approximately two minutes after you.

The two of them then attempted to rob the pharmacy.

Yes, that's right.

The accused beat you over the head with a log, did he not?

He did.

Severely enough to see you off to Emergency at St Vincent's.

Yes.

But you claim to have remained conscious.

Enough to see the accused beat his friend with the log.

Yes, well, he didn't beat him with the log.

He was trying to take out the CCTV camera

and he hit...it was an accident.

Oh, an accident? Ah.

How can you be sure?

It... I'm sure.

Had you been drinking?

No.

Had you been taking any illicit substances? Cocaine, for example.

Ms Engels?

Credit, Your Honour.

Short leash. Thank you, Your Honour.

Do you need me to repeat the question?

No.

And the answer is no.

Mr Greene, have you ever been to rehab for cocaine addiction?

Yes.

And when was that?

Two years ago.

Have you taken cocaine since you were discharged from rehab?

Oh, are you gonna object at some point, Rumpole?

Uh, objection, Your Honour.

Sustained.

Mr Greene, you're a known associate of Mr Michael Corella, are you not?

Yes, I defended him.

And Mr Corella is...is a friend of the accused's father, isn't he?

Yes.

Mr Greene, do you currently owe Mr Corella any money?

Gambling debts, perhaps.

Your Honour, I have had sexual relations with that woman.

She is my best friend's wife

and she should not be cross-examining me.

Your Honour, this is intolerable.

I completely agree with my co-copulator, Your Honour.

And plus, I've got another trial kicking off...

Enough! ..six minutes.

Ms Engels, my chambers. Now.

Delighted you could make it... Your Honour.

..Mr Greene.

Only you and Beyoncé have the pulling power.

Shall we, then?

Let's.

So after the assault,

this so-called Glebe woman called the police

and you attended the scene.

Mrs Jejora's from Annandale, actually.

I beg your pardon?

The attack was in Glebe. She's from Annandale.

Are you sure?

I mean, the press was most insistent that she was a Glebe woman.

Well, as I say, the attack was in Glebe, so I guess...

Mr Greene, is this at all relevant?

I'll move on, Your Honour.

So, uh, the pensioner formerly known as Glebe woman

was able to give you a description of her assailant, was she?

Mr Greene, the victim's name is Mrs Jejora.

Please answer the question, Constable.

Yes.

Constable, how did the assailant attack Mrs, uh, Jejora?

If that's her name.

I'm sorry, Mr Greene? Nothing, Your Honour.

Constable? Please.

She said he attacked her from behind.

Oh, so 71-year-old Mrs Jejora was able to give you a description

of the man who attacked her from BEHIND?

Amongst other things,

she was able to describe a tattoo on her assailant's left arm.

Yes, the barbed wire. Yes.

Yes. A barbed wire tattoo.

Have you ever seen one of those before

in your entire career, Constable?

Yes.

How many times would you estimate

you might've seen a barbed wire tattoo in your career?

I don't know.

More than once?

I suppose.

Yes, twice? Uh, three times? 300...times?

A lot. I don't know. Yes.

They're as common as muck, aren't they, Constable?

Constable, how long was the interval

between Mrs Ja...jora's reporting of the incident and the arrest?

I'd have to check the charge sheet, but I'd say...

..an hour and a half.

Well, that's extraordinary!

Doesn't it make you feel safe, ladies and gentlemen,

in a town of over 4 million people,

the constabulary can pin down a bent needle in a haystack

in less than two hours?!

Mr Greene, you are testing the limits of my patience.

Constable, I put it to you

that there was no real investigation of this matter.

There couldn't possibly have been, in the time frame.

I reject that.

I further put it to you, Constable,

that conscious of the fact that this assault took place

in the vicinity of a well-known state-run halfway house,

you merely cross-referenced your information

with the list of current known occupants of that halfway house

and, bingo, there was Mr Tanner, two-time loser

with a barbed wire tattoo.

Had to be him! I reject that.

So are you pissed at Vampira or are you pissed at Fuzz?

Both. And I'm also pissed at you.

Why? You know perfectly well why.

Because we kissed? I don't want to talk about it.

Did it unsettle you a little?

Listen, tonight's gonna be difficult enough, OK?

Can we just...?

Oh. Alright, darling.

We'll keep it together. It's his special birthday.

I know. She can screw him legally after tonight.

We should've had her charged when we had the chance.

Who did you want charged? No-one, Mum.

Vampira? Mum, please.

It's a disgrace.

We keep it down a little, Prue.

Or what, Cleave? You'll ask me for a loan?

Did you ever get those pamphlets I sent you on euthanasia?

And so, um, how's the new school, Fiona?

Fine. Yeah?

Hmm.

Got some, uh, bright students?

Some.

I must say, I think it's a wonderful thing.

In my day, I couldn't have had a relationship with MY French teacher.

Fiona teaches English, Carm,

and she's no longer Finnegan's teacher.

You remember we talked about that earlier?

I'm just saying

that Finn is a very lucky boy.

I am, Aunty Carm.

Fiona, you're such a pretty young thing.

Carm... Oh, here we go. She's off.

I bet there are some hearts aflutter.

Indeed there are.

How old are you, if you don't mind my...

Anyone for some more chicken? You don't look a day over 21.

Got any breasts? I'm actually 28.

Excuse me.

- Funny - you don't look 28. - Or act it.

I beg your pardon, Mum? Nothing, darling.

Mum, when are you going to get it?

Fi and I are in love. That's not going to change.

If anything changes, it's gonna be between you...

Fuzz, it's alright. Your mum's a little stressed. Yeah?

I mean, you both... have to understand

that this has been a kind of tricky thing to adjust to.

Um, so let's just try and start from scratch, shall we?

I'd like to, on this your 16th birthday,

propose a little toast!

Which will go on till your 17th.

Fuzz, I've never seen you looking so happy, mate.

And, um...and so I'd like to thank Fiona for bringing us this joy.

Sorry.

Fi!

Fi, what's wrong?

What happened there?

What happened there?

It will be alright, darling. I promise.

Your mum's right, mate.

It's gonna hurt like a bastard for a while, but it'll get better.

No, it won't.

She was the one, Dad. She's the only one.

Nah, she isn't.

It's better that she came to her senses now

rather than in a year's time.

What do you mean, "came to her senses"?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

You've been undermining this relationship from the start,

the pair of you!

It's no wonder she left me! Settle down, mate.

Your mum just meant that it was always gonna be tough.

You know, at some point

she was probably gonna meet a man her own age.

He's not of her own age, Dad! He's even younger than I am!

He's at that new school that you guys fucking drove her to.

Fuck!

What's the technical term for someone like Fiona?

Oh! Nut job.

Yeah, that's it.

We've gotta let that new school know.

Yeah.

Oh! I'll call them in the morning.

No, I'll do it.

Really?

Oh, yes. I must shoulder some of the load.

Got something on? Witness.

Ah, yes, that assault. The Glebe woman.

Yes, the Glebe woman.

I'd say good luck with that, but... Oh, it'll be fine.

Be interesting to see what it's like from the other side.

We're good, yeah?

Yeah, we're good.

Excuse me for a moment.

Oi!

Miss, open the door.

I just need a minute.

Come on, open the door or I'm gonna bust it down.

He said that they wouldn't be here.

He promised me they wouldn't be here! Fucking little shit!

What's going on? What is it?

That's my family, Cleave.

That's my mum and my dad.

Those people...

..are your...parents?

Unbe-fucking-lievable.

You are fucking kidding me!

Right.

So Dad wasn't a diplomat.

There was no being chased by bandits in Honduras.

Those people are your parents.

I don't care if I never see them again.

I don't want to ever see them again.

But Travis is my little brother, Cleave.

I mean, he's had a shit life

and it's all gonna be over if he goes inside again.

Right, so he did it.

Yeah.

You know, if you get in the witness box

and you lie and it's found out,

you will not only never practise law but you'll go to fucking jail.

Now, you might be fine with that, you might think that's OK, it's cool.

I'm on a professional fucking tightrope, Missy.

You know my reputation.

If I get the slightest gust of wind, that's it for me - I'm over, done.

My name is Jane.

It's Jane Tanner.

Is it, Jane?

Well, real... Well, I've got a couple of questions for you, Jane.

What did I ever do to make you think

that I would give a flying fuck about where you came from, Jane?

Surely, Christ, you know me well enough

to know that that would make no difference.

Or do you really think that I'm so fucking superficial

I deserve five years of bullshit?

I started the bullshit long before I met you, Cleave.

I can't remember a time in my life when it hasn't been bullshit.

Well, that's some consolation, Jane.

Mr Greene?

Mr Greene?

Do you recall the precise time

of your collision with Mr Tanner, Miss Partridge?

Yes.

It was a little after 8:00. I'd just finished a lecture.

I see.

And are you absolutely convinced that it was the defendant, Travis Tanner?

Yes, I'm sure.

Thank you.

No further questions, Your Honour.

Really? Yeah.

What is this incident? The chemist's shop?

Oh, well, you want the whole story or the abridged?

I'll give you the whole story. No, the whole story.

It's a good story. Mr Greene.

Thank you.

Whatever for, Miss Partridge?

A drink's in order, don't you think, Simone?

Yes, I do. So where do we start?

Oh, well, the chemist's shop or the drink?
