Original subtitles

BARBARA: You buried the evidence.

They won't find anything, right?

ELISE: Did anyone order two absolute party animals? Whoo!

ROACH: We found this in your room.

It's a list of 212 people,

including the names of the two murder victims.

They're the people I've had sex with.

If Donna is innocent, the police will be after us again.

And it means there's still a killer on the loose.

-(COMMOTION) -ELISE: Ivan!

Barbara, what happened to you that night...

It was just that camel video.

MAYA: No, I'm talking about what happened afterwards.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(DROWSILY) Mum.

Barbara.

(DRAMATIC CHORD)

Ivan!

(LAUGHTER ECHOES)

Mum!

(DRAMATIC CHORD)

Barbara.

(DRAMATIC CHORD)

Ivan!

-(DRAMATIC CHORD) -(GASPS)

Oh, thank God.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(PHONE BUZZES AND CHIMES)

(ALERT CHIMES)

-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -(SHOUTS ECHO)

Go back to sleep.

Sorry, Nicole.

(SOLEMN PIANO MUSIC)

Hi, Ivan.

It's Elise.

I think this one's meant to be you,

because it has strong features,

but you're also wise like an octopus.

I'm sorry we never got to work on your mash-ups.

I felt like every time we chatted, we were into...

PROFESSOR: Alright, class, gather round.

Time to bring the truth to life.

(DRAMATIC VOCAL MUSIC)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

(GASPS)

-(PHONE BUZZES AND CHIMES) -(GASPS)

Twin flames?

Oh! Um...

I'm so sorry, I realise it just happened again,

but I'll be back, I promise.

'Bye, Ivan.

(DRAMATIC VOCAL MUSIC)

ELISE: OK, don't panic,

but some archaeology students

are about to dig up our crime scene outfits.

Also, Ivan! Why would anyone do that to Ivan?

Poor, sweet Ivan.

Ohh, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Oh, no, I don't think that's true.

I think I might be unravelling.

I think I might be

on the verge of... of freaking out...

(PEOPLE WHISPER NEARBY)

..about this top!

Ooh, I mean, who on earth gave her the licence to be this good?

(QUIETLY) What are we gonna do?

Therapy.

What?

I'm going to a meeting for people like me.

Maya suggested it.

(SIGHS) I know we need to find the killer,

but I need to prioritise my mental health.

No, you are absolutely right.

Um, I will come with you.

You don't have to.

I know.

(SIGHS)

What were you saying about archaeology students?

Don't you worry, I can handle it.

OK.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

(ALL CHANT) Three men dead!

Three men dead!

Three men dead! Three men dead!

Three men dead!

-(WHISTLE BLOWS SHRILLY) -(MEGAPHONE WHOOPS)

Thank you, gentlemen, for your civility.

I have some wonderfully exciting announcements.

-Oh, you've caught the killer? -Almost.

We have a new detective on the case, Officer Johnson.

-Hi. -Oh, thank you.

And he tells me that we are very close to making an arrest,

but more importantly...

Drum roll, please.

(TAPPING NOISES)

..the Federation Games will go ahead.

-Oh, what? -So let's focus on the positive.

We hear you, we've heard you,

and we say to you, from now on,

all forms of protesting on campus is banned.

-PROTESTER: What? -That's insane.

We need to be able to have a voice.

New students don't want to enrol in a war zone.

I love the passion, boys, but optics-wise, it's a no.

Which is why we have campus safety here

to escort you off to your dorms.

Go, Bucks!

No, we're gonna have a word. This is ridiculous.

-(MEN COMPLAIN) -Do you understand? Let go.

(PROTESTERS SHOUT)

Keep going! Don't stop!

Get off me!

JOHNSON: Oh, well, I'm gonna go speak to the VC.

-I'll leave you to it. -Yep.

Take a seat, Sep. Shep. Seat.

No, I'm OK.

I'm taking you off the case.

For not taking a seat?

Because you're in too deep and you are losing your perspective.

Whose idea was this? Hmm?

Officer Hair Gel?

You need me.

What I need is your taser and your radio.

I'll leave you some time to fuck yourself in peace.

Hey, I got the bad guy. McKinnon?

But I lost everything else.

My first wife left me,

my partner died in the raid - he was 24 years old -

and McKinnon was out of jail within 18 months.

I didn't know that.

You want to change things and you want justice,

but you need to know where the roof is, Shep.

You need to have a life that is bigger than this job

or it will eat you up.

Yeah, good. Let it.

I'm sorry that all that happened.

But I am not you, OK?

I want to give a shit,

otherwise what does that make me?

What is the fucking point?

-(INTRIGUING MUSIC) -(STUDENTS CHATTER)

Hi, everyone. I'm Elise.

Um, I am an Aries.

I'm from the UK, I'm here on a scholarship and, um...

..I play the bagpipes.

CONVENOR: Hmm.

Yeah, that's me.

OK, fantastic.

And if you felt comfortable,

could you share what led you to come here today?

Oh, I wasn't, um...

Yeah, I'm here to support my best friend, Barbara.

CONVENOR: Barbara, would you be...

No.

Absolutely fine.

RUBY: Perpetrators rely on us to carry their secrets.

It's empowering if you refuse to.

I'd love to hear more about that.

Where's the bathroom?

Next door.

Five seconds.

(INTRIGUING PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

CONVENOR: Wanda, did you want to update us

on how you're feeling after last week?

(INTRIGUING PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

Kind of seems like a weird time to be digging, don't you think,

with everything that's going on?

So, do you think we'll focus on this area here,

or could you see us digging up to that tree over there?

I guess it just depends where the dinosaurs are, huh?

Crockery.

Sorry?

We're looking for colonial crockery.

Crockery. Hmm.

Like a...like a teapot?

Sure.

Teapot fragments would be huge.

It's really funny,

because it was only last week

that I saw some teapot fragments

on the far end of the field.

You see? Just right over there.

Maybe we should tell everyone.

-Thanks. -Yeah.

MAUDE: Hey, team, maybe we should dig over there.

WOMAN: Yeah, remember...

I found it.

The...the toilet.

ANNELIESE: Yeah, the report form is a joke.

That is, if they even give you the right form.

Then they file it away and nothing happens.

That's not true.

Sometimes you get sued by the guy's parents.

WICCAN WANDA: Anyway, the form is not as bad as the portal.

The system for reporting assaults on the uni website,

it asks you to write a detailed account of your attack.

Which is traumatic enough.

And it times out after 10 minutes,

so you have to do it again.

CONVENOR: How about you, Barbara?

What was your reporting experience like?

I...

I didn't report it.

(WICCAN WANDA INHALES SHARPLY)

Well, if Barbara doesn't want to use the portal,

then I guess that's...

-(INTRIGUING MUSIC) -..shit.

Uh... Oh!

(ITALIAN ACCENT) Too much coffee for me-ah.

Uh, um, I don't know why I did that accent.

That was more of a character than a specific region.

I'll...I'll be back. Uh...

(DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)

(DOOR SLAMS)

Is Barbara in there?

Jess said that she saw you guys.

I need to speak to her.

I've always felt like there was this wall between us.

And now I know why she built that wall,

even though I'm one of the good guys.

Everyone knows I'm one of the good guys.

Rory, Barbara is on a healing journey,

which is something she has to do alone.

-OK. -With me.

But I need to tell her what I'm gonna do.

And what's that?

I'm gonna find the person who did this to her

and I'm gonna kill him.

What are you putting that on for?

I just remembered, she's at the gym.

Something about needing to get shredded.

Why?

She's perfect.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS AND CRESCENDOS)

(DRAMATIC VOCAL MUSIC)

Got my trowel.

Do you ever get scared of finding something

that should remain buried?

Like a condom instead of a teapot?

Oh! I'm so sorry about that. No.

Um, I don't know, like, a human skull?

Anything like that, we'd have to report.

Mm. Sure.

To the university.

To the police.

WOMAN: Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, no, that's it.

-That's exactly what I... -Oh, my God, what are you doing?

You're gonna ruin the fragments.

Professor!

Professor, I don't think this student's in our class.

For me, it's roller derby.

But everyone's different.

I wonder, Barbara, do you have any tactics?

BARBARA: Tactics?

Hmm.

In terms of self-care.

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

Aren't any of you angry?

WICCAN WANDA: Of course.

RUBY: But anger doesn't serve you.

-ANNELIESE: It's corrosive. -Right.

But what if it's the only thing keeping you going?

What if it's, like, scaffolding?

You'll let it go.

When you're ready.

And if I don't want to?

(SCOFFS)

If the portal times you out,

then we need to change the portal.

If the forms are redundant, then we need to change the forms.

If this university allows rapists to walk...

This group isn't about fixing the system.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

It's about helping you.

I'm sick of me.

OK? I don't want to look inward.

I don't want to turn things over and over.

And I don't want to make this my problem.

That's fine.

We'll talk.

You'll listen.

And one day when you're ready...

..you can talk too.

How's that sound?

The killer wanted the evidence compromised.

Ivan's body was covered in vape juice, bong water.

Someone had thrown up in the hood of his hoodie.

-Any links between the victims? -No.

So you didn't know that Lyle, Scott and Ivan's fathers

gave significant donations to the university?

Did they have any priors?

My partner looked into that,

and, uh, Lyle and Ivan were both clean.

Hm.

We studied you.

Yeah.

Your cases. As part of our training.

Impressive.

Oh, yeah?

Never meet your heroes, I guess.

Hey, I'm going to take things from here, OK?

So maybe you can organise dinner?

Thai.

(QUIRKY PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

I really want to thank you all for being brave

and sharing your experiences with us.

(DOOR OPENS)

(ELISE PANTS)

Where's my friend?

CONVENOR: Tell her, when she's ready,

we'll be here.

-(SOFTLY) OK. Ugh. -(DOOR CREAKS)

RECORDING: This is Detective Roach.

-Leave me a message. -(BEEP!)

Roach, I am not saying that you were right,

but...

..some distance might be helpful.

Just give me one week.

That's all I need.

And just don't balls-up the work that I've done in the meantime.

No need to call me back.

This is Shep.

(MOUTHS WORDS SILENTLY)

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

(SOFTLY) OK.

(SIGHS)

(SIPS NOISILY)

(DEVICE BEEPS)

MAN: Go again, Delta. Over.

MAN 2: Some archaeology students

doing a dig west of the quadrangle.

Apparently they've dug up

spray paint and masks wrapped in a drop sheet.

Go check it out. Over.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(INTRIGUING PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER NEARBY)

Damn it!

-(ELISE SCREAMS) -RORY: Ohhh!

Sorry. They're digging up one of my top five lawns on campus.

She wasn't in the gym.

She's not answering her phone.

-I'm worried. -Me too.

I thought you were gonna tell me not to be worried.

Look, this is why she didn't tell me.

-She knew I'd fall apart. -It's not just you.

-She has a wall with me too. -She's got a door in it for you.

-Still, I miss her. -Even when you're with her?

-Yeah. -Me too.

-She needs space. -I know she says that.

But I think she's lonely.

Yeah, I think so too.

-I think she needs us. -I think so too.

Can I hug you?

Of course, yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

Rough day?

My college, uh...

It's that cage thing you mentioned.

Yeah, I see it now.

I can help with that.

Yeah?

You want to chat some more?

Journal?

Metabolise our trauma?

Fuck that.

You know, Soraya Chamali says

you can't self-help your way into being taken seriously

or treated with dignity.

You can't self-help your way to justice.

So what do we do?

You have access to half a million people, Barbara.

You have so much more power than you think, girl.

Got your phone?

(TENDER MUSIC)

Well, well, well! What do we have here?

Get the prawn crackers?

Tell me you got the prawn crackers.

No.

What was it in the end?

In the drop cloth?

Drop cloth?

Yeah, the drop cloth the students dug up.

Anything incriminating?

I was gonna send some officers,

but they said you'd collected it.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

Yeah, well, I collected it.

And it was junk, it was nothing.

False alarm.

JOHNSON: OK.

Hey! Are you OK?

I'm good now.

OK, they dug up our evidence from that night.

They got everything.

Did they?

Yes, we have to go to the police right now.

We need to confess before they come for us.

-I'm busy. -Doing what?

Prue and I are going to lead a feminist revolution

on my socials.

A feminist collab?

You hate that stuff.

It's the reason we didn't go to the police in the first place.

You said that you were apolitical.

OK, but how can we be?

Elise... (SCOFFS) ..we should be glad that we did what we did.

Elise, maybe the reason that people don't like you

is that you're always trying to be what they want.

What about your protest art?

Where did that go?

Why don't you try standing for something for once?

Like, use your fucking voice.

I do use my voice.

I've got you something.

Look, I've never felt like this,

but I think that I really like you, Prue.

Sorry, I'm just...speechless.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I...I get it.

We're so different, you know, but maybe that's why it works.

No.

Dude, the actual no.

But...you had sex with me.

Yeah, I have sex with a lot of people, it doesn't mean shit.

But I thought that meant that...

Alright, it's time for you to fuck off!

I think I want to come home.

Oh, petal!

I'm so sorry.

(SOBS)

We spray-painted a statue.

We vandalised a plaque.

Who cares?

Everything after this night was someone else.

Hmm, what about before that night?

What do you mean?

Well, this is your punishment...

..for everything you've done.

For trying to find the psychopath

who's murdering students on campus?

No, for Maya.

Barbara, the men who attacked her were going to jail.

Do you have any idea how impossible that is?

I had everything I needed until you defended them.

You gave them an alibi.

Because of you...

..the inquiry was cancelled.

I couldn't tell the truth.

Because they were your friends.

Because they were drunk.

Because it was all a bit of harmless fun.

Because if I admitted what they did to Maya,

I'd have to admit what they did to me.

you walk on...

You have no idea what I've done to protect you.

Who do you think took down the biggest predator on campus?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

ROACH: Scott, being such a Lothario...

Rapist.

I'm wondering whether Lyle

had a similar record.

Hmm.

No.

What have you done, Shep?

Where's the other cop?

You can't hold me here without a charge.

Am I free to go?
