- Okay, we're going to find him. - Find him, Joe!

We're going to find him. I promise you, we'll find him.

- Come here, baby! - Sam?

Come here, baby!

Sam was picked up from school today by Simon Heywood.

Simon was my boyfriend for three years.

What?!

Have you been in contact with this guy?

In the last seven years, since Sam, have you seen him?

God, Joe, I swear to you I have no idea what's going on.

My wife and I still aren't talking,

and we never fuck.

I wonder sometimes

if she's seeing someone else.

Anna's not the same person she was.

He's worried she's having an affair.

Is she?

Don Sheere.

The only way this deal's going to go through,

if we have someone like Don Sheere on board.

Mr Sheere is hosting a charity art show at his home,

and Mr and Mrs Sheere would like to invite you and your wife to attend.

Yes, of course.

Joe, I think we're here as a novelty item.

Sure you don't want to meet Don Sheere?

Oh, God, no.

Here's Joe's call to Anna the night Sam went missing.

Within sixty seconds she's made this other call.

And do we know who this is?

Untraceable.

Could I have a look through this visitors' registry, please?

Call Anna Katerina Marin.

Hey.

Ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

You look nice.

I don't know how I'm supposed to look for court.

Come on, we've still got to get a park.

It'll all be over soon.

And then you can put all this behind you.

Bye.

I'll see you later.

Oh...

Mum...

thank you.

You're always there for us and I never thank you.

Okay.

Oh.

Anna!

It's the cleaners. They want to change days.

I'm nervous.

I know.

You just answer the questions.

- Okay? That's all you've got to do. - Mm-hm.

You know what they are.

It's not like you've done anything wrong.

Yes. Yes, I know.

I'm at the school, Anna. Something's happened.

Yeah, I know that, Joe, I know that.

I just got a million texts.

Anna, he wasn't here at the school, when I came to pick him up.

He wasn't here.

Well, that's impossible.

That's impossible.

I mean, what are you doing? Where are you?

Are you at...? Are you in the right place?

So where is he, Joe? Okay, I don't understand.

You need to drive straight here, okay?

Just come straight to the school.

You just need to find him.

Find him, Joe. You just find him.

Hi.

Hi...

Look, I'm sorry, everything's changed. I have to go back home.

No.

No, it's my boy. It's my Sam.

Half an hour early.

Can we just sit here?

What are you nervous about?

I will send Simon to prison.

Yeah?

By what I say, I...

I will change his life.

No, by what he did.

He did it.

He committed a crime and he should pay.

Thank you... for coming.

Simon, you have to tell me why you took Sam.

How did you know what he looked like?

What school he went to?

I'll go. This was a bad idea.

Stop. Okay, um...

you told me.

What?

We met on the pier.

Remember?

It was windy.

- Hi. - Hi.

I, um...

I rang your mum and she gave me your address.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Lost my job.

The school thought it was best that I moved on.

You've been through a terrible thing.

Carlo's family, they're just...

ripped apart.

And you...

- you're married. - I am.

- A mother. - Mm-hm.

- Where are you living? - Brighton.

Do you work?

Yes.

I work for a recruitment firm.

- How old's your son? - Five.

And just the one?

Just the one.

Private school, nannies, life in the back of the Range Rover,

jumping castle in the backyard for his birthday.

Yeah, you know, it's so strange,

you speak exactly the same as when we were at uni.

Huh.

- Did you grow up? - Yep.

Why did you contact me?

Because I was worried about you.

Are you happy?

Simon...

Are you?

How's your marriage now?

My marriage?

Marriage seems to make most people unhappy.

What has my marriage got to do with you kidnapping my son?

- I didn't kidnap Sam. - Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

You know what, you actually did.

Kidnap implies ransom.

Kidnap implies a gain for me, implies malice.

There were none of those things.

Well, without a ransom note,

why would the jury think it's kidnapping?

Well, it doesn't matter.

He didn't have your permission, therefore, he's going down.

We know it, his lawyer knows it and the judge knows it.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I might actually find the loo.

I'll... I'll see you in there.

_

_

I should've been there to pick him up from school.

Well, I was away. I shouldn't have been away.

Joe, listen, I need to tell you something.

_

Who's testifying?

Angela Erbakan.

- Hello. - Hi.

I'm Angelique.

Yes.

Do you know who I am?

Yeah.

You're Joe's wife.

Anna Marin.

What would you like from me today?

I want to ask you some questions.

- About what I do? - Perhaps.

About what you've done.

Did you know that I used to date Simon years ago,

when I was at uni?

Yeah.

Yeah, he spoke a lot about you.

How is he?

He's got mental health problems.

He's been seeing a psychiatrist.

At uni he was funny and he was kind and he had a fantastic mind.

He hasn't... he hasn't worked since the Carlo thing.

I always thought he'd have a brilliant life.

You've had sex with my husband in here?

On this bed?

Yeah.

When you have sex with Joe,

do you look at each other?

What do... what do you mean?

Do you have sex with my husband with your eyes open,

looking into his eyes?

I don't know.

Do you kiss him?

Not on the mouth.

Do you enjoy it?

I don't even care.

- Don't you love your husband? - I didn't say that.

Joe was a client I didn't dread seeing.

Are you going to see Simon?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with you.

Are you in love with Simon?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

I want to know about my son.

You were there.

You were with Sam.

Was he all right?

Tell me honestly.

Was my son frightened?

No.

No!

He was playing with Simon's dog and we had some snacks

and we watched some cartoons.

I know kids. I've got a little nephew.

He was... he was totally fine.

Thank you.

Angela Erbakan just gave us a win.

Why?

She just changed her story on the stand...

implicated the shrink, confessed her love for the accused.

Get something to eat. You're up next.

You ask me anything.

I'll tell you the truth.

Your psychiatrist came to my house.

He told me you'd saved Sam's life.

A few days after we met...

I wanted to drop off the books I was telling you about.

I came to your house.

The door was open...

Wait, how...

How did you know where I lived?

You told me you lived in Brighton.

You told me Sam's school.

Sam... was playing outside.

He kicked the ball into the pool.

Climbed over the fence.

He fell in the pool.

No.

And your mum was vacuuming upstairs.

She wouldn't have heard.

So I pulled him out.

No.

Sam was scared that he'd get in trouble.

I wasn't supposed to be there

so I told him I was the gardener

and that we should keep the secret between us.

He never told me.

I was never,

ever going to hurt him.

You must know that.

No.

I just don't understand why you took him.

I mean, did you want to hurt me?

- No... - Is that what you wanted?

No, I only meant to have him for a couple of hours.

I felt like...

I had to do something...

to make you stop,

turn around and just...

think for a moment.

Think about what?

Call Anna Katerina Marin.

Mrs Marin, in your sworn statement

given on the night Sam was taken,

and later when you spoke to Detective Staszik,

you stated you were supposed to be on a 4:30pm flight to Sydney.

Then you were certain about this again when you gave evidence

under oath at the pre-trial hearing.

And today, what, you only think

that you were supposed to be on a 4:30pm flight to Sydney?

I'm... I'm pretty sure it was 4:30. Or thereabouts.

And the arrangement that you had with your husband

was that he was to pick Sam up from school

and you would drive to the airport?

Yes.

In your car.

Yes.

To attend a conference in Sydney.

Yes.

So the toll records for that day

show that your car left your office in Collins Street

and got onto the CityLink at 3:17pm.

However, instead of heading west in the direction of the airport,

you headed in the opposite direction.

You went in the direction of the Mornington Peninsula.

You see, here, your car...

is shown entering the EastLink at 4:06pm.

So is that your car's registration

referred to in the CityLink records, Mrs Marin?

Yes, that's right.

So the Mornington Peninsula

is where Simon Heywood's parents have owned a house for over 20 years.

Now, have you been to that house, Mrs Marin?

I think so, when I was at university.

Well, Mrs Marin, I would put it to you

that on the day your husband called you,

he told you that your son Sam was missing,

you were on your way to meet Simon Heywood

at his parents' holiday house

with the intention of spending the weekend with him.

Mrs Marin?

Mrs Marin!

Mrs Marin, are you thinking about your answer

or are you indeed refusing to answer?

No, I wasn't.

I was not having an affair with Simon Heywood.

I wasn't on my way to his parents' house on Mornington.

So you were going to a conference in Sydney?

No, I wasn't.

Can you tell the court, Mrs Marin,

where were you going?

I'd booked a hotel room on the Mornington Peninsula

and I was going to stay there for Friday and Saturday nights.

With whom?

With no one.

With myself.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Well, we're all set for this weekend?

Yes.

I've planned it down to the last detail.

I'm sure.

Hope it wasn't too hard to get away.

No.

I'm sure the world can do without me for two days.

Yeah, I needed a break.

Well, a holiday by yourself.

That's perfectly acceptable, Mrs Marin.

So why didn't you tell the police this in your statement?

I don't know.

- Your Honour. - Mr Henshaw.

Prosecution requests a short adjournment.

Granted.

A holiday.

What is going on?

Why didn't you tell me about this holiday

that you had to have?

And why did you tell police you were going on a conference?

Because that's what I told you.

I... I didn't think it would make a difference.

I didn't think.

Are there any more surprises

or changes I should know about, Mrs Marin?

- This is a private conversation. - This is a criminal court.

We spent a lot of time preparing our case.

Look, I know this is your job, but this is our life, all right,

so fuck off.

I would like to remind you that perjury,

lying in a court of law, is a serious criminal offence.

There's not one single thing

I trust about you right now.

Mrs Marin, in your statement to the police on the evening

of the 19th of April this year,

you claim that you didn't give Simon Heywood permission

to pick up your son, Sam Marin, from school.

Can you confirm that for us?

Please answer the question, Mrs Marin.

I will.

Do you have any idea how frightened Joe and I were?

You've seen a family lose a child before, that Carlo boy.

Do you have any idea

what it's like to lose a child?

This is the thing, Anna.

Ten years of knowing you and there's no one single day...

Simon.

I don't think you can touch me.

Anna...

I picked Sam up from school that afternoon

to stop you from having an affair.

What?

I know you were seeing a man

every week in the city for lunch.

I saw you.

You were about to spend that weekend

with the man you'd been having lunch with.

I was going to a work conference.

I rang your office.

They had no knowledge of your involvement in a conference.

I wanted to stop you from having an affair.

A chance to look at your life...

and your job and your son.

I was going to keep Sam long enough for you to turn around,

come back to the city.

Give up the weekend away.

To scare you just enough.

I was going to bring him home at 8:30,

but the police came and...

now I'm here.

I see.

I'm truly sorry, Anna.

I just need to know one thing.

Did it work?

Yes.

Yes, Simon, it worked.

Simon, we went out ten years ago.

It was another lifetime.

Same life, Anna...

for me.

Look at where you are.

I felt a debt.

A debt for what?

When I met you...

I didn't think that anyone would ever...

love me.

But you really did.

Yeah, I did.

But now you're in love with a memory.

It doesn't matter if I never see you again after this.

I'll always love you.

Please, Mrs Marin, I understand this is difficult,

but you must answer the question.

No, it's not...

It's not difficult, it's just very personal.

It shouldn't be anyone's business here.

Repeat the question, Ms Serkin.

And you will answer, Mrs Marin.

Now, you have stated verbally today

and in your signed statement that you did not give Simon Heywood

permission to pick up your son, Sam, from school.

Is that correct?

No, it's not.

I've made a mistake. I've... lied.

I lied on my statement and I've lied in court.

I did give Simon permission to pick Sam up.

I did.

- Your Honour. - Mr Henshaw.

Prosecution requests an adjournment to reconsider position.

Granted.

The court will wait for the prosecution

to decide how best to proceed.

Court dismissed.

Come inside.

- Where's Sam? - He's asleep.

I'll get some things.

Yeah, but where... where are you going?

- I'm not staying here. - Joe.

You kicked me in the guts.

I looked at you in that courtroom today

and I didn't have a clue who you were.

You lied today so that idiot who kidnapped our child

could go back to reading fucking poetry!

Staszik says you're going to be charged with perjury.

That carries a jail sentence.

I did what I thought was right, Joe. I...

Simon did something stupid,

but he doesn't deserve to go to jail.

Oh, Anna, wake up. You've been had.

Did he tell you that he loved you, and that he always would?

That you're the most amazing woman that he's ever met,

the most beautiful?

It appealed to your stupid vanity,

and you bought it.

I'm going to get my stuff.

Sam.

Sam?

Oh! Sam...

we need to get you ready for school.

- You were asleep! - I know, I know.

We... Come on, let's get dressed.

Quick sticks.

Come on, let's get to the car quickly.

_

Mum?

Hello!

- Nanna! - Hey!

Well, we were going to have pizza for dinner.

Oh, great idea.

- How have you been? - Yeah, I'm okay.

- Mm-hm. - Dad's not here.

Well, where is he?

He's at a conference.

Everyone's always going to a conference.

What is it, anyway?

Oh, it's just, you know, it's like...

a work thing, you sleep over and...

it's like a school camp.

Well, you'd better go jump in the bath and we can get pizza, eh?

- Yeah, I'll go run it for you. - I can.

You... you going out tonight?

Doubt it.

I didn't know if you'd come tonight.

So, Joe's gone to Mitch's.

Packed a suitcase of clothes and he won't answer my phone calls.

What were you thinking?

I...

Mum.

Oh, Anna, don't hide.

I did what I thought was right.

Sweetheart, you put Simon above your marriage.

- No. - Look at this place.

Your beautiful home, your wonderful son.

You want for nothing.

Joe has lost his job.

This house is up for sale.

There's nothing solid about any of this.

Well, if there's nothing solid here,

then that is because of you.

No, you watch your husband do all the heavy lifting.

- You... - What?

You don't appreciate him.

You have to back off.

You don't even know what you're talking about right now.

You remember what it was like for me being a single mum.

Is that what you want for you?

For Sam?

Joe is not the perfect man you think he is.

You don't know him.

You see exactly what he wants you to see.

No, look, I know that.

But Joe earned my respect.

He stood by you when you lost Peter.

That happened to both of us.

And we have not dealt with that well, have we?

Watching you...

grieve.

It never goes away.

Come on, come on.

- It's okay. - What?

I'm just going out.

Where?

Night, Mum.

I haven't seen Joe since this morning.

Right.

How is he?

He won't answer my phone calls.

He's okay.

Yeah. How are you?

Is Greta looking after you?

Oh, never.

But I got an insurance payout and I'm still employed, so...

Does that mean you've found another Joe?

Come on, you two were good together. You were a team, weren't you?

You caught the wave, he surfs it in. Wasn't that it?

I'm doing okay.

You and Joe used to talk about breaking away,

starting your own company.

You wanted to be your own bosses.

We talked about a lot of things.

Yeah, and so whatever was going on between you two,

you were good together.

You were successful.

Why wouldn't you want to keep that going?

Not now.

- Hi. - Would you like a drink?

Oh, I've ordered food for us, if that's all right with you?

Tea is fine.

Spoke to my lawyer this morning.

- Said he'd spoken to you. - Yes, thank you.

I am a little worried about his fees.

Oh, don't worry about it.

I wanted to thank you for keeping me out of it.

Didn't really feel like I had much of a choice.

You did the right thing.

You said you'd help Joe.

Well, he's a little hot at the moment, but I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

And what's that?

Smart man like Joe, I'm sure he'll fall on his feet.

I was assuming you were going to offer him a job.

Doing what?

Well, you said you'd help us if I kept you out of this.

If I lied about where I was going that night.

I did that, Don. I... I did that in court.

I perjured myself.

We could've had such a nice time together.

Don't you think?

It's good.

Fuck you.

Thanks for coming in, Anna.

You may be pleased to know

the Crown won't be pressing perjury charges against you.

Huh!

Sorry.

Do you want some water or tissue, or...?

No.

Why?

These decisions are not made lightly.

But various things are weighed up.

Just need you to...

sign this form.

You can leave it at the front counter.

Ah, Detective.

Thank you for your help.

I do the job I get paid to do.

Good luck, Mrs Marin.

Hi.

- Sorry. - Hi, Anna.

Hi. Um...

thank you for meeting me.

No, not at all.

But, just to be clear, I'm not here in any professional capacity.

Look, if I don't pay you and we just sit here and chat,

I mean, is that acceptable?

That's fine.

How's Simon?

Well, he's home, which is the main thing,

and he has Empson, his dog,

and Angela...

his parents and me.

And he seems in good spirits.

Did I do the right thing?

I'm not a priest, Anna.

My husband has left me.

I did this to keep Simon out of jail.

So, please can you tell me

if you think that I've done the right thing.

I think Simon wouldn't have survived in prison,

and now he has a chance to get well.

You know, the strange thing is that maybe he was right.

I mean...

If Joe and I had been more solid and...

more trusting of each other,

then Simon taking Sam,

that might have united us, but...

it's just unravelled us.

I'm sorry to hear that.

How do you know if a marriage is over?

I was married for twenty years and now I'm getting a divorce.

My wife was very unhappy for a long time,

but she didn't tell me.

She tried to get through it, but she covered it up

and I suppose if I was honest,

I knew.

But...

of course, kids are a great distraction.

They make you feel like you're a team, even if you might not be.

And I loved her, but...

that's not enough, is it?

No.

So maybe someone has to pull the plug.

And is she happy now?

Yeah, I think... she might be.

Should I visit Simon?

Well, look, that's up to you.

I think he might benefit from...

hearing why you changed your story, yeah.

There you go.

How's Sam? Family?

They're good, thanks.

I wanted to tell you why I changed my testimony.

Okay.

Before Sam...

Joe and I had another child.

His name was Peter.

And he passed away.

So the idea of losing another child is...

I changed my testimony to thank you for saving Sam's life.

But,

Simon, you need to know that you taking Sam...

has hurt Joe and I in ways...

you can't even begin to imagine.

So, thank you for being there that day.

But now you must stay out of my life.

Anna.

Goodbye.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Do you want some wine? - No.

I made some lunch.

- We got an offer on the house. - Yeah, I saw the email.

- Yeah, what do you think? - Um...

Well, I think we probably have to.

My wage isn't covering the cost of the mortgage.

Yeah, Mitch was talking about doing something together, him and I.

Starting our own business.

That's great. You two work well together.

So then maybe we can hold off on the real estate

- for a couple of days. - Sure.

I don't really know what I'm doing, so...

Mm-hm.

Sam's wondering what's going on.

I told him that I was staying with Mitch for a little while.

That he wasn't well and he needed looking after.

I need to talk to you.

I need to tell you about some things that you don't know about

and that you should know about.

Okay, great.

For the past six months or so

I've been having regular lunch dates with Donald Sheere.

Sheere? Why?

I don't know, I thought he was...

thought he was charming and he was funny

and I enjoyed his company...

Please let me finish, Joe.

We were going to spend the weekend together,

that night that Sam went missing.

And of course, when you called I just came straight back to town

so nothing happened.

Don didn't want his name in the papers.

He promised that if I kept him out of this, he would help us out.

Oh, help us out? How?

By fucking my wife?

He paid for the barrister that got me off the perjury charges.

Are you kidding?

You know, I thought we were okay

now that Sam was a little bit older.

I thought maybe we were getting somewhere.

You were getting sex from a prostitute

and I was contemplating an affair.

You think that's okay?

This is your idea of a good marriage?

Were you going to leave me for Don Sheere?

No.

What are...?

Okay, what do I do at work?

You know, who are my friends? What books do I read?

I just wanted someone who would see me,

who would actually look at me.

Even if it was just for, like, an hour a week.

That's all he was to me. I just needed that.

I thought after Sam was born maybe you'd come back to me.

I did go my own way.

Had to go and look for sex elsewhere.

I'm not proud of it.

I threw myself into my work.

I hated coming home.

Your sadness, I hated it.

I couldn't fix it.

Well, why didn't you just talk to me? Why didn't you tell me?

This huge thing happens,

our son is taken...

and yet, it's like it only happened to you.

When we lost Peter,

these things,

they hurt me too.

Joe, I don't...

I don't actually know how to help someone.

I don't know.

I... I don't know how to help myself.

You just appear so strong all the time.

You know, you appear like it's always fine.

You want me to be strong.

You don't see me in any other way.

Joe, that's just not true.

It's what you think that I want.

It's what you think that I'm asking for,

but it's just not true.

What about lying in court?

If I told you, you would've screamed at me

and told me I was an idiot.

You leave me no room to speak the truth,

and then I'm just second-guessing your fury and your mood.

- You're scared of me? - Yes.

Your anger is frightening,

and worse still, it shuts everything down,

including me.

I know I should have told you the truth,

but I just thought I could handle it all myself.

You know, I thought I could...

I'd get Simon out of jail, I'd get Sheere off our backs,

I'd... I'd make him get me off these perjury charges,

I'd use him to get you a job.

I just did not think about how that would hurt you.

Anna.

I never knew that marriage could be so lonely.

I'm right here.

Mum!
