It's not an offer.

I still have to go through an interview.

Yeah, Wednesday the 30th.
I know, I saw the email.

You read my private messages?

You told me to look
in your mail and there it was.

You didn't have to read them.

- You didn't need to have...
- You have to control everything!

How do you find the defendant,
Dianne Vasilich?

Guilty.

My client is innocent.

She and her son have been imprisoned

for a crime they did not commit.

Janet King's gung-ho approach
in this trial

has caused a serious miscarriage of justice.

A bushwalker just found
Steven Blakely's body.

- So, who buried him?
- I have no idea.

You find us this third man
or Dianne and her son will walk.

Steven Blakely was murdered
and buried with a cricket bat,

which Mr Cranford would have
known if he'd buried him,

which he most clearly did not.

Mr Moreno,
I find you not guilty.

You are free to go.

Blakely's murder was just a small part.

If you want to sort this mess,
ask yourself

how did Alex Moreno
manage to get acquitted?

Tim Clarke, my child porn man.

You get away from her.

- You get the fuck away from her!
- What the hell?

That's what you did in Adelaide.
You're a filthy fucking rapist.

You're nuts, woman.

Don't worry
I'll look after you.

Who is she?

You touch her and I'll kill you.

You forced her into your car.

I saw you.

Leave my dad alone.

I tried to talk him out of charging you.

- Doesn't matter.
- Lots of witnesses, apparently.

Yeah.

And the jerk is playing
the victim for all he's worth.

There was a moment,

when I was...

...when I was watching him

with the girl, just a...

...just a second

where I thought about letting him go.

Letting him do whatever
he was going to do to her...

...just so there'd be something...

Just so there'd be something
concrete against him.

You shouldn't have been anywhere near him.

That's so much better than fighting.

Yes, it is.

I know it's late.

Let me guess, fraud.

Child pornographer.

The criminals aren't the only
ones who need your attention.

I've missed something.

I don't know what is,
but I've missed something.

- Find it in the morning.
- It's serious.

- It's always serious.
- No, this is serious.

You're not a cop.

Solving Blakely's murder
is not your responsibility.

I know that look.

- Just another half hour.
- A girl could die waiting.

Please?

We had our chance.

They're fast-tracking the Vasilich appeal.

Just been served the defence submission,

public interest and all that crap.

First we had to hurry up and prosecute her

because of the bloody supersensitive public,

and now we have to unprosecute her even faster.

Shit.

It plays right into the AG's hands.

Another nail in the coffin of jury trials.

Let the Court of Criminal Appeal

sort out another mess juries have got us into.

It's all our fault of course

because we're too bloody good at our jobs.

Don't worry, that's how they'll spin it.

Can I at least put my bags down first?

No, I want you
in as much of a lather as I am.

Fast-tracking means
it's right on top of us.

We also need to look at
Judge Renmark's decisions

over the last few years
as a matter of urgency.

Can't we just focus on
one crisis at a time?

Is Renmark a crisis?

Look, forget about the Moreno case.

Danny Novak was messing with your mind.

Why would he bother?

Other than he's a murdering arsehole,

I have no idea.
Your place or mine?

Yours. Just give me five.
Hey, Erin?

Richard, can you pull out
Judge Renmark's decisions

over the last two years.

What, why?

Something was dodgy in Moreno.

What do you think?

Congratulations on your promotion.

I wish I didn't have to wait to be a Crown

before I get to wear all this.

Appearing in a suit somehow
doesn't feel like

such a big deal.

Being promoted to a solicitor
advocate is a big deal.

Actually, now I'm starting
to feel a bit nervous.

Good, it means you're taking it seriously.

It's a training position.

You'll only be given
simpler matters to start with.

Like all the simple matters
I got thrown at me

when I first joined the DPP?

It's what you wanted, remember that.

You applied for it.
You'll be fine.

Thank you for all your help.

- I didn't do anything.
- Yes, you did.

You know you did.

I'll never be able to thank you enough.

You can get me another cup of tea

as I prepare myself for
the Dianne Vasilich appeal.

They're pretty gross, eh?

I didn't get your message
till this morning.

I'm so sorry.
What happened?

- I wanted to kill him.
- I don't blame you.

No, I really wanted to kill him.
Tony's going to hit the roof.

He's not having a good morning.

A cup of tea for me.
Very thoughtful.

You're out of luck.
This one's for Janet.

Wouldn't want to steal
anything of Janet's, would I?

Best not.
Talk to you later.

Very close those two, aren't they?

Erin helped deliver
Janet's twins.

There's a whole lot of images
I wasn't expecting this morning.

By the way, congratulations
on the Dirty Harry act.

- Word travels fast.
- We're jealous.

You did the one thing
none of us had the guts to do.

Lina, it's going to be fine.
You'll get a slap on the wrist

and both sides of the bar table
lining up to buy you a drink.

Oh, and you'll have to undergo

months of compulsory counselling.

I could lose my job.

Now, there is the upside.

I'm the obvious person to run it.

You think Dianne Vasilich is guilty?

Well, that's not relevant, is it,

if I think we got it wrong.

What's all this, a
self-flagellation thing, is it?

A mistake's been made,
you want to take the rap for it,

restore your reputation?

This has nothing to do with pride.

Yes, it does. Pride, ego, face,
call it what you will.

You're not following due process.

Trial lawyers never run appeals.

That's why we have an appellate
section full of weirdy geeks

who get off on academic fine points.

I know this case inside out,
plus, there won't be enough time

for anyone else to get their
head around it.

It's loaded, you know that.
It has been from the start.

All the more reason

for one of the whisperers
to have carriage of it.

Then if there's a lynch mob,
they can deal with it.

So you're happy for one of them
to be cannon fodder?

Jesus, do you have to argue
with everything I say?

I'm trying to protect you.

I'm a grown-up, Tony.
I don't need your protection.

I need those judgements
of Renmark's on my desk

- in half an hour.
- Sure.

And whatever you've got
on the Vasilich appeal.

Are you absolutely sure
you want me to instruct

- one of the whisperers?
- You'll be instructing me,

whatever Tony says.

- Thanks for coming.
- An unexpected pleasure.

I've been going over the Alex Moreno case.

Waste of time.

The judge got it wrong.
Happens all the time.

But a judge who's known to be pro-police?

He might have had a fight with his wife

or a bourbon with breakfast.

He might have an undiagnosed
brain tumour. Who knows?

Judges are just another variable
we deal with every day.

It's done.

We move on to the next catastrophe.

- Just like that?
- What's the alternative?

There wasn't anything
about the case itself, Moreno,

that was out of the ordinary?

I'd really like to help you
with your conspiracy theory,

but I was there, watching
Caroline, the informant,

asking myself,
'Does she make a good witness?

How does she handle the courtroom?'

I mean, if we're going to use cops

to trap paedophiles this way,

I'd like to know I've got
the right people in the job.

I like to do this
with all my undercover people.

You might call me a control freak.

I just want to make sure
that the resources

are productively utilised.

So what are you wasting your time for?

I thought you guys
were up to your eyeballs.

I'm a control freak too.

Why don't you put that energy

into keeping Dianne Vasilich in prison?

She murdered a good friend of mine.

Thanks for the coffee.

Please! I just want to go outside.

Don't!

I don't like it.

It makes me feel funny.

I don't like this game.

Sorry. Can I disturb you for a moment?

I heard about you being charged.

Seems like everyone has.

Maybe this unit isn't right for you, Lina.

I could talk to Tony on your behalf.

I can talk to Tony by myself.

I thought you wouldn't mind
if it came from someone else.

I saw the email, about
the solicitor advocate position.

You've organised Erin's career,
and now it's my turn?

You're not still working on
Clarke, are you?

Until Tony tells me not to.

Tony's got his hands full
with the Vasilich appeal.

You know you can't work on this

if you've assaulted the defendant.

Are these photos from...

From a Russian website, yeah.

This is Ruby Moreno.

Her father was the child groomer,

the one Renmark acquitted.

The photographer?

Are you sure?

I saw her in court.
She was there with her mother.

- It's not Moreno's house.
- You sure?

What I mean is it's not his home.

He lives in one of those open,
warehousy-type places.

Inner city, very groovy.

Do you know if he owns any other houses?

Not that we could find.

Nothing in his or his wife's name.

This changes everything.

I'd love to have another go at the creep.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Will you bring Moreno in?

There's no point, we'd just tip him off,

but I'm more than happy
to put him under surveillance.

I'll find out about his daughter
and her friends.

They might be involved in this too.

Do we have a date of birth for her?

Because in this photo
she could be 12, or 17, 18.

I can find out. But I think
she's 14 or 15, from memory.

Prove she's under 16 and we get Clarke.

Was there anything else about Moreno,

anything that didn't make it to the brief,

something you suspected
but couldn't prove?

He's a creep who takes
pornographic photos of children,

including maybe his own daughter.

What else did you have in mind?

I'm not sure yet.

We should stop meeting like this.

People will talk.

My office has received an application

for a pardon for Dianne Vasilich.

What? They haven't even
started the bloody appeal yet.

I asked you to sort this out once before.

We did. She was convicted,
if memory serves me correctly.

I don't want anyone to think

this government has locked up
an innocent person.

Shut it down.

You're the number-one prosecutor
in this State.

I want you to run this appeal and win it.

That's a specialist job.

I don't want to read that pardon petition.

It'd be a dangerous precedent to set.

We need this conviction to stand.

Well, of course.

I'll have a word to the Chief Justice,

see if we can organise
something about the bench.

You're starting Vasilich without me.

I asked him to look at it.

I know the case, Tony.
I have time.

You want the good news or the bad news?

The good news is,

our esteemed Attorney-General
cares so much about us

that she wants to know about
every single thing

that comes across our desk.

She wants to be involved.
Warms the cockles, doesn't it?

The bad news is
she's dragging you off the field

and she's sacrificing me

to Their Honours
of the Court of Criminal Appeal.

That's ridiculous.
You can't run this case.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Sorry. I meant, as Director
of Public Prosecutions.

No, you're right,
I can't run it.

But as I've discovered, as DPP,

I have even less power than I had before.

I'm nothing more than the AG's factotum.

A word that sadly sounds
ruder than it actually is.

So, I'll start with these
and meet you in hell.

The Renmark judgements
are all on your desk,

the last two years,
plus an article he wrote

for the Law Journal and a paper
he delivered last November

at the Australasian
Convention of Jurists.

- Thanks.
- I'd better get on with this

for Tony; let me know if you
need anything else on Renmark.

Bloody HR are leaning on me

to take some of my 300 years'
accumulated leave.

I get a call like that every two weeks.

This time they're not taking
no for an answer.

Bullshit. Now?

And they want you to step up
and run my patch.

What about the Blakely case?

I'm running the investigation
of the biggest shitstorm

this department's seen in years.

I know, I tried to suggest somebody else,

but they wouldn't budge.

Hey, you're free to take on
the High Commissioner.

We have got this Cranford
scumbag right in front of us.

You know, he knows who was involved.

We've got to keep leaning on him.

Don't worry.
The task force continues,

just without you.

Who are they bringing in?

A guy called Ramesh Nahar.
I don't know him.

Apparently quite thorough.

I feel so much better now.
Has he ever handled a homicide?

- Perfect.
- It's not all that bad.

Means they've got their eye on you.

The timing's shit,
but, you know, ultimately,

it's great for your career.

You ready to start the handover?

Thought you might give me a lift home.

I could do that.

They've pulled me off the task force.

I have to mind the fort for Jack Rizzoli

for a couple of weeks.

- What? They've promoted you?
- It's babysitting.

The guy they've brought in
to do my job, Ramesh Nahar,

he spent all day reading.

Wants to see every piece of everything

before he even makes a move.

You know, we could all be dead by then.

But that does mean you've gone up a rung.

It means that
they've taken me off Blakely.

What's the obsession with promotion?

Having a criminal wife
hasn't affected your career.

- Hey, I'm not shitty with you.
- You've hardly spoken to me.

I've hardly been around!

You haven't really been around
since Blakely died.

You know why
I don't like vigilantes?

Other than the total breakdown of society?

Because they can get it wrong.

Because they can get themselves killed.

What if that scumbag Clarke
suddenly hit back at you,

like really lost it?

There were a lot of people around.

What if there weren't?
What if he had a knife?

Leave that stuff to us.

So you can get knifed instead of me?

That would be my preference, yeah.

If Jack doesn't come back,

will they keep you in his job,
behind a desk?

- I'd go crazy.
- Better crazy than dead.

Ooh, bubbles.

Bubbles!

This is so much easier,
with the two of us.

Yeah.

They look so cute together.

- Hey, don't do that.
- Do what?

Take a photo of them in the bath.

- Relax. They look gorgeous.
- Don't!

Got to have something
embarrassing for their 21st.

You take digital photos,
put them on the computer,

we get hacked,
who knows where they end up?

A couple of kids in the bath?

Yes, a couple of kids in the bath.

Okay, fine. Point taken.

This is what
I was talking about.

Just an innocent picture
taken by a doting parent,

or a still from a video in a Sydney house

that ended up on a Russian porn site

and was downloaded by a man in Homebush?

Oh, how terrible.

- A beach house?
- Well, she's wearing swimmers.

Dolphins on the wall.

People always decorate
beach houses with beachy stuff.

It's weird, the beach is just
out the window.

I can even tell you which beach,

but I guess the cops
already told you that.

No, they haven't.

See here?

- What?
- There's a reflection.

The lighthouse.

I never noticed that.

I think it's Point Galloway.

We used to go to that part
of the coast every January

for years and years.

Whose house is this?

- We're off.
- Already?

Mothers' group
likes to get to the cafe early,

make sure we all get seats.

I'll let you know if I hear
anything from St Bart's.

Fingers crossed.

- You need a hand?
- I'm fine.

- Do it all the time.
- Ashleigh Larsson?

How long has your partner Janet

been sleeping with Erin O'Shaughnessy?

Did you know about this affair?

Did you know she organised
a promotion for Erin at the DPP?

Janet?

She was on the selection committee.

Just get inside, Ash.

I'm happy to speak to you first.

You promoted your lover, Erin.

Would you describe
this promotion as typical

of the gay mafia operating within the DPP?

How dare you invade
the privacy of my home?

Do all your lovers get promoted?

That is not why
Miss O'Shaughnessy was promoted.

How do you it feel about being responsible

for jailing an innocent woman?

I said you're on private property.

Senior Crown Prosecutor
Janet King has today denied

an improper relationship

with DPP solicitor
Erin O'Shaughnessy.

Miss King has further denied allegations

of a gay mafia within the DPP,

and that Miss O'Shaughnessy's
recent promotion

was based on anything other than merit.

Jesus, it's everywhere.
You could read about it on Mars.

There was only one reporter there.

Well, the rest of the world's caught up.

Gay mafia.

Just the kind of bullshit muckraking

this department needs.

How did they know where I live, hmm?

No bloody comment.

- Is Ash alright?
- No, not really.

She's stuck in with two kids,
doesn't want to venture outside.

But the two of you...

You're asking me if she thinks I'm guilty?

I'm an insensitive baboon.

I'm sorry.
Look, if you want to go home...

I don't care if they hassle me
about my work, but my family?

Well, just as well
I'm the bunny in the headlights

doing the Vasilich appeal, isn't it?

That's the golden lining, is it?

Who would honestly think that Janet and I...

Not me.
I can personally vouch for you

having screwed your way through
half the male legal fraternity.

Well, that doesn't help.

But I have to say
for someone who doesn't know you

as intimately as I do,

you and Janet seem very close.

- Friends.
- I know. Friends.

You and I spend a lot of time together.

- You and Janet hugged in office.
- So have you and I!

- But I'm not gay.
- Just because it's Janet,

it's ridiculous to assume
we're therefore lovers.

Someone saw her grab your hand,

take you into the conference room

and close the door.

That's exactly the type of thing
we wouldn't be doing

if we were having an affair.

I know, I know,
I know, I know.

I'm just trying to put myself
in someone else's shoes.

Someone who's out to get me, or Janet.

But can you see how it might look

from their perspective?

Okay, so it might look suss.
That's one thing.

But ringing up some current affairs show

and spilling it to them?

Why would anyone do that,

and which of those arseholes was it?

You and I are really in
the shit now, aren't we?

I'm very sorry this has happened.

The gutter press can be so brutal.

Can I get you anything?

No, I'm fine, but thank you.

I don't blame you.

Erin is a beautiful girl,
and she knows how to use it.

You're not the first
to be caught in her net.

And at least in your case,
it's not adultery.

You have to be married to commit adultery,

and you're not even really in
a relationship, are you,

in the eyes of the Lord.

Lust can make fools of us all.

Fuck off, Tracey.

- Close the door.
- Isn't that going to look suss?

Can you just close the door, please?

You alright?

Do you think it's Tracey?

Tracey? No, no.

No, she's as bigoted as they come,

but she loves this place.

She'd never do anything
to create adverse publicity.

Someone's happy to do it.

I really think we should
keep the door open.

- Someone might have seen us.
- The door's fine.

How's Ash? Is she okay?

She'll get there.

Would it help if I talked to her?

I don't think so.

She doesn't think
there's anything going on?

Of course not.

So I can still come round, see you guys?

I think it's better
if we just leave it for a bit.

Fair enough.

Just for a while.

For the Vasilich appeal,

finding Blakely's body
constitutes new evidence,

that is evidence which was available

or could have been found
with due diligence.

As opposed to fresh evidence,
which wasn't in existence

- at the time of the trial?
- Correct.

So if the police had done their
job proper in the first place

and found Blakely's body before
they charge Dianne Vasilich,

we wouldn't be in this situation.

Possibly, but just because she
didn't dispose of the body...

So, they're going to be arguing
that this new evidence means

this conviction was, one,
unsafe or unsatisfactory,

two, was wrong in law

or three, constituted
a miscarriage of justice.

- You don't need me at all.
- Not so fast.

You're not going anywhere.

I'm not getting on the floor.

But these are part
of the defence submissions.

I don't need a bloody map

to tell me that Vasilich and her son

couldn't bury Blakely.

Oh, for God's sake!

Of course.

What we want to argue for is a retrial.

- Correct?
- Definitely.

So what do we need to argue
to achieve that?

We need to show that
there is no lurking doubt.

We need to show
the conviction is still safe,

despite the new evidence.

Lurking doubt?

Lord Widgery,
Crown and Cooper, 1969.

'On the basis of the general feel

'of the case as the court experiences it,

'there may remain
a lurking doubt in the minds

'of the appellate judges

which makes them wonder
whether justice has been done.'

General feel? Crap.

They're not going to decide
an appeal on feelings.

On the other hand,
the High Court of Australia

has stated that the question
of reasonableness

of a jury's verdict is a question of law

and not of feel.

The court's function
is analytical, not instinctive.

If the High Court says that,

why are we bothering with
all this lurking doubt bullshit?

Because all judges,
and lawyers, use intuition.

Any decision anyone makes
is never purely analytical.

Emotion plays a huge part.

It's one of the things that's been proven

in neural-plasticity studies.

The brain's wiring emphatically relies on

emotion over intellect in decision-making.

You should have an affair with Janet.

She can get you promoted
to the appellate section,

and you could play with all
the other little whisperers.

Let's not contradict the High Court

in front of the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Not this time, okay?

Just got to get my bulldog clip.

I'm working in here today.

- Yeah, Tracey said.
- No distractions.

I'm sorry about what's happened.

Thank you.

And about giving you attitude
over the Clarke stuff.

I was out of line.

I know you're just trying to help.

Has Tony given Clarke to anyone else yet?

I think he's avoiding me.

So you still have all
the prints of the photos

from this website?

Boxes and boxes of them.

Could I just borrow them for this morning

and the website address?

This photo was taken near the
lighthouse in Point Galloway.

- On the South Coast?
- But I don't know which street,

and I don't know who owns it.

But if I can find more photos

featuring Ruby Moreno and this house,

then I may find a way
to identify the exact location.

Caroline Martin and the police
will be able to...

I haven't got time for that.

This house has to belong to Moreno.

And the person who's hidden
the camera needs constant access

to change the batteries.

And that camera is taking video
of naked children,

and someone is selling
those images to porn sites.

I know, but...

I'm not asking you
to look at this yourself.

I know it's not appropriate,
given what's happened.

There are tens of thousands of them.

That photo is just the beginning.

That's why I need to start now.

Can you just get me those boxes
of photos, please?

I get more visitors here
than in my office.

Have you got time to listen
to an opening for Vasilich?

I'm refuting lurking doubt.

You're stalking
Renmark?

We're drowning in work,
and you're stalking Renmark?

Someone leaned on him.

No. Danny Novak says
someone leaned on him.

There's a big difference.

How else could he get Moreno so wrong?

Past his use-by date.

He's always been
pro-prosecution, you know that.

This is an about-face overnight.

There's no such thing

as overnight
in the criminal justice system.

There's months between decisions.

Something's wrong.

- Let it go.
- No. Can't.

If there's any truth in this,
Tony...

Look, you want it to be true

because you think it takes
the pressure off you.

Now, I know it's been difficult

since you've been back.

'Disastrous,' isn't it,
the word you're reaching for?

This is all going to blow over.

Blakely, Vasilich, this impropriety thing.

Some footballer's wife will
get busted for shoplifting,

then suddenly life will be peachy.

Peachy?

I've never used that word in my life.

You'll want to see this.

Following recent allegations in the press

about Senior Crown Prosecutor
Janet King,

the Government has appointed

recently retired
Judge Granville Renmark

to inquire into the functioning
of the office of the DPP.

He'll be interviewing
past and current staff

of the Department of Public Prosecutions

and anyone else he thinks relevant.

It is vital this state has a strong

and effective prosecution service.

I've asked the Director of the DPP

and his staff to give His Honour

their full cooperation and assistance.

First I've heard of it.

Judge Renmark will report
directly to Cabinet.

Would it help if I don't take the job?

You'll take the bloody job.

Renmark.

Tell me that's a coincidence.

Of course Janet knows
I want to be a Crown one day.

She's been a sort of unofficial mentor

since I started at the DPP.

And Miss King was on the selection panel?

One of three, yes.

You see each other socially?

Yes. There's nothing wrong
with that, is there?

When did you discover
that you and Miss King

shared the same lifestyle choice?

Which particular choice
are you referring to?

Our shared love of Tolstoy?
French films? The Sydney Swans?

Unfortunate when our private desires

conflict with our public duties.

You were the one who proposed
the creation of the position

of solicitor advocate?

Yes.

And you created that position
with Miss O'Shaughnessy in mind?

If you had any sort of
relationship outside the office

with an applicant, you should
have stepped back.

As a Crown Prosecutor,

you're held to the highest standards.

You must be unimpeachable, above reproach.

Just like a judge.

Yes, just like a judge.

I'd tread very carefully
if I were you, Miss King.

Thank you for the warning,
Judge Renmark.

Not that way.
There's a mob of reporters.

Thank you.

That beach house
doesn't belong to Alex Moreno.

What? If I wasn't going
to look at the Clarke photos,

I needed to do something.

I tried to think like Richard.

I used the reflection of the lighthouse.

I measured the angles,

narrowed the location down to a street,

figured it must be one of
the six houses on that street.

They could only be on
one side of the street

to catch the reflection.

I did a title search on all six houses.

And?

No.26 is owned by a company
called Blue and White Holdings.

The director of that company
is Steven Blakely.

- Steve Blakely knew Moreno?
- Must have.

I found dozens of photos

of naked children taken in the same house.

So the question is, did he know
what Moreno was doing there?

There's an easy answer to that, no.

If Dianne Vasilich didn't kill Blakely,

then we're looking for another
murderer, another motive.

So he found out what Moreno
was doing and Moreno killed him?

Or they were in it together,
they fell out,

Moreno feared exposure...

Come on, now Steve Blakely's

involved in producing porn?

- It's possible.
- It's also possible

that every family
that has stayed in this house

has had photos taken of them
without their knowledge.

Why are you guys even looking at this?

This sort of wild conjecture is my job.

I have found that there is a link

between Moreno and Blakely.

You don't want to think that
you prosecuted the wrong person.

- That's not why.
- What, then?

- Intuition.
- Bullshit.

Look, I know you've got
Moreno under surveillance.

So maybe you need to do something more.

- Well, like what?
- I don't know. Something.

Technically , I'm not even on
the task force right now.

Well, you tell me who I need to talk to.

Alright. Talk to me, okay?

I want this sorted just as much as you do.

Fantastic views.

We've been renting it twice
a year during school holidays

for three, maybe four years now.

My daughter loves it.

You rent it through the owner?

Through an agent,
a local outfit, Dunphy's.

Is there a problem with the house?

Something happen?

It's perfect place for taking photos.

You do work while you're there?

I don't even take a point-and-shoot.

Don't go in for the holiday-snap thing.

Video?

Never use it.

October the 9th.

What were you doing that night?

October?
It was a fair while ago.

I'm not sure what I was doing.

- No idea at all?
- No, sorry.

You want to give it some thought?

Okay.

Mmm.

October. Wednesday.

I could have driven down to Coogee,

taken the dog for a walk.

I often do that midweek.

- On your own?
- No, I had the dog with me.

Okay, so the real-estate agency
checks out.

The Moreno family stay there twice a year,

pay by credit card, all above board.

We still have him under surveillance.

So we just wait?

Welcome to my world.

Heard a rumour you might be interested in.

Apparently, Renmark volunteered
himself for the inquiry.

Make of that what you will.

Someone in reception for you.
Maya and Drew Blakely.

Are they here to see Tony?

I don't think he's expecting them so soon.

- I don't think he's here.
- I called them in early.

I just want to explain why
I won't be handling things.

Should I join you, explain
the approach we're taking?

No need, the intricacies of an appeal

will be lost on them.

I'll just reassure them.
Leave them with me.

We just get shunted
to the next available lawyer,

is that how this works?

I understand how you feel,
but Tony is the most

senior advocate we have at the DPP.

He's highly experienced
at appearance work.

They know what they're doing.

Do the police know yet how
Dad's body got to be out there?

No.

So this woman might be declared innocent?

If her appeal is successful,
it doesn't mean she's innocent.

It means the court doesn't think
it was reasonable

for the jury to convict her.

It turns on a question of doubt.

But you don't doubt
that she killed Dad, do you?

Well, the only person who can
ever know that without doubt

is Dianne Vasilich.

But I believe the jury
did reach a reasonable verdict

on the facts in front of them at the time.

She hated Dad.

There's no way she'll get off.

It's always a possibility,
and you need to prepare

yourselves for that.

Do either of you know if your father

knew a photographer called Alex Moreno?

- Not that I know.
- Why do you ask?

Do you recognise that bedroom?

Yeah, that's our beach house.

The girl is Alex Moreno's daughter.

We believe the photo was taken
with a hidden camera.

The police found the photo on a porn site.

Someone's making porn at our beach house?

Yes.

And you think that our father
had something to do with this?

I don't know.

That house is with an agent.

We only get to use it
a couple of times a year,

in the off-season.

Whoever put the camera in needed constant,

easy access to the house.

What?
Did you ask the agent?

Did you?

I mean, why should
the automatic assumption be

that my father had something
to do with this?

It could be anyone.

No, let's put it on the dead man

because he's not here to defend himself.

That makes things really neat
and tidy for you, doesn't it?

Is that why you're not doing the appeal,

because you think that my father
is a child pornographer?

It might not be your father.

It might be someone associated with him.

This is what we're trying to establish.

Maya?

I just think that we should just leave.

We should just leave Dad out of this.

Maybe it was Dad.

He, um...

He got me to buy him
a stack of security cameras

through my IT company
a couple of years ago.

I got him a trade discount,
gave him the receipts.

I never asked what he wanted them for.

They could be for anything.
They could be for the police.

Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.

Maybe it's cop-related.
I'm just trying to help.

What size were the cameras?

State-of-the-art, and small.

You'd never see them
if you weren't looking for them.

You don't happen to have

copies of the receipts for those, do you?

He was a police officer.
He was very security-conscious.

This doesn't prove anything.
Why can't you just shut up?

Oh, Janet.
Thanks for explaining things.

Tony Gillies, the Director
of Public Prosecutions.

I believe you'll be
joining us in court today.

I'm sure Janet's run through
what you can expect.

Pretty dry stuff really.

- We shouldn't oppose the appeal.
- What?

I'm sure now that Dianne
Vasilich didn't kill Blakely.

Oh, look, Janet, just don't
spring this sort of shit on me

when I'm just about to front up
to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

You know what the Chief Justice has done?

He's stacked the bench.

I mean, clearly, he's sick
of all the media attention

and political interference.

And he wants to make it
crystal-clear to the AG

that she has to butt out.

Now, I've got
Jonathan MacLeod,

a judge who's hell-bent
on abolishing the jury system.

I've got Michael Manzarelli,

who I turned down for a job as Crown

and Bernie Lane, a former defence silk.

I mean, it's a total set-up.

So, I'm sorry, but unless
you've got video footage

of Moreno with his hand
on a bloody great shovel,

I'm not going to play nicely
with the other children.

In the matter of the appeals

of Dianne Mary Vasilich
and Brian Patrick Vincent

against the Department
of Public Prosecutions,

an appeal against conviction.

If the court pleases,
Gillian Warden.

I appear for the appellant.

Ms Warden.

Tony Gillies. I appear on behalf
of the respondent.

Mr Gillies.

No jury here for you
to play to today, I'm afraid.

Your Honour.

Your Honours,
I would like to speak to

the submissions before the court

on behalf of the appellants.

We've all read the submissions.

I believe, you're pushing at
an open door there, Ms Warden.

- As Your Honour pleases.
- Your Honour, in the submissions

before the court...

If I could stop you there,
Mr Gillies.

Sorry, Your Honour.

Your submissions were very comprehensive.

So there's no need for you to elaborate.

If I might, Your Honour,
just raise the issue...

We're in a position
to rule on the appeal today.

We're ready to give our decision now

and our written judgement will follow.

As Your Honours please.

Mrs Vasilich, Mr Vincent,
if you could please stand.

Speaking on behalf of my brother judges,

we have read the submissions

prepared by counsel on your behalf,

and we hereby allow the appeal.

In relation to one count of murder

and of accessory after the fact of murder,

we order the convictions be quashed

and an acquittal be entered.

Loathe as I am to interrupt,

if Your Honours are of a mind
to allow the appeal,

I wish to be heard on the merit
of remitting the case

for retrial to the Supreme Court.

We've already determined
the matter, Mr Gillies.

You are free to go.

All rise.

Fuck it.

She paid Franzen to rough Blakely up.

I'm arresting her
for conspiracy to murder.

We've got all the evidence
we need for that.

It's a publicity nightmare.

Just let it go.
Just drop it.

Well done.

There's some stuff that's been
shot in Steve's beach house

that somehow found its way
onto a Russian porn site.

- Shit.
- Drew reckons

Steve bought a couple of dozen

tiny surveillance cameras through him.

The receipts check out.

I mean, these cameras are just perfect

for spying on little kids
without them knowing.

Don't you just hate it
when all that work you've put in

turns up something
you just didn't want to find?

I'm afraid Janet King gets
the prize for that bit of work.

She's wasted at DPP. Wasted.

Sometimes we see too much.

We get stressed out,
our defences are down.

See these other guys
making all this money,

and we struggle to pay the mortgage.

Then we realise we've got
easy access to whatever we want,

money, drugs, porn, girls, kids.

I mean,
I'm not offering excuses.

I'm just trying to make sense
of how it happens.

Steve's dead,
and all this shit's floating up.

I don't know what to think anymore.

We never did.

Yeah, but Steve?

Now I... I don't...

Fuck.

Take a piss.

What's your excuse for leaving so late?

I'm prey for the paparazzi
because I'm a wild lesbian

who's shagging her boss to get ahead.

If only they knew how tragic
my love life really is.

About as tragic as a crazed solicitor

attacking an innocent man
at a railway station?

- Any word about your job?
- Too much else going on.

- I suppose that's a good thing.
- Is it?

Feels like I'm in limbo.

Do you know what you want to happen?

Other than Clarke
getting locked away for life,

I don't know.

I don't think I can keep going,
not in that department.

That's the first time
I've said that out loud.

You know,
I really terrified myself.

I didn't think I had that in me.

I always suspected you were ferocious.

Anyone still out there?

Looks like lesbian sex scandals

aren't worth staying out all night for.

Anyway, we should be celebrating.

It's not every day
you get a shiny new job.

I am so proud of you.

I shouldn't be worried, should I?

Oh, God, no.
There's a new scandal every day.

Ash, of course not.

I know how flattering it is
when someone young and gorgeous

has a crush on you.

Erin doesn't have a crush on me.

You spend a lot more time
with her than you do with me.

You seriously think
I might do something like that?

I don't know.

Don't make me the bad guy just for asking.

Well, I'm not the bad guy.

- We're tired, and the kids...
- This is not about being tired.

Maybe in some ways
it is about being tired.

Let's face it,

it hasn't exactly been
a sex-fest around here lately.

I am not sleeping with Erin
or anyone else.

I'm sorry.
I wish I'd never said anything.

- Come here.
- No, no.

- Just don't.
- Look, listen.

I would never do anything
to jeopardise us.

You and the kids are my world.

And you have me completely.

- Yes?
- Yeah.

Come here.

So much for the stroller theory.

Maybe we could put them in the car,

drive them around a bit?

It's worth a try.
Come on.

Let's take the beast.

Why don't we swing by
the gelati place on the way out?

We'll be moving them tonight

to separate safe houses.

I thought I should make it easy for you.

Perfectly honourable course of action.

I don't trust myself anymore.

I've compiled a list of people who might

hold a grudge against you.

I don't need this,
I know who did it.

If I tell you the truth

no-one needs to know, do they?

Terry Renner is looking into
the organised crime...

This has nothing to do with a drug deal

I put away five years ago!

- You don't think it happened?
- I don't know, I didn't see.

It happened!

Both of our families are being
attacked by someone I just...

I just don't know what his involvement is.

They nearly died because of me.

That's all that matters.

Resign now
and go back to private practice.
