You want me to pretend to be the niece?

$10,000.

Valda had to do everything for him in those last few weeks,

even dole out his meds.

You poisoned George, and I can prove it.

What do you want?

'I want the money you promised me and an extra ten grand.'

If there's something you want, you should go out and get it yourself.

I thought you were the boss man. There are other vested interests.

We mustn't forget about Charlie

cos he's the first one I'm going for if you don't do what I say.

Hey, Dad, guess what?

AMY ON PHONE: 'Hello? June? Can you hear me?'

Amy! Hi.

Hey, look, erm...

there's been a little bit of an emergency at the shop.

Those old convict pipes, they've finally had it.

So, Charlie's there dealing with some plumbing,

and, er, he's asked me to drop Kiah off to you if possible.

'Shoot. I can't leave work right now.

'I could get to the record shop at four?'

Don't rush. I can just hang out with Kiah

until, erm, you're finished.

All right, I'll text you.

Fuck!

You black bitch!

You white cu...

♪ We say, "Fuck you!" ♪

Now, listen.

So, with Dad and his big work mates,

how they took him off for a meeting about the pipes...

...let's just keep that between us, OK?

Us blackfellas?

CHUCKLES SOFTLY Yeah, us blackfellas.

Hey, Aunty June, is it true Nan would buy you and Dad

Chicken Treat to cheer you up?

Yeah. That is true.

Here.

Thank you.

Mmm! They're good.

They're the best. Mm-hm.

Sorry. I don't have the new PIN.

Aunty Kate! Kiah. Hi.

Erm, yeah. Go inside.

Don't drop anything on the leather stairs.

They've just been treated.

Look, erm... can you just take care of her for a few hours?

Amy will swing by after work around four.

Yeah. What's happened?

Charlie's... He's, erm...

He's having a breakdown.

With Sharne leaving, and Kiah moving to Sydney, and...

...probably some unresolved grief around Mum

because it's her anniversary.

Is he OK?

Yeah, he's gonna be fine.

I just got to go and sit with him, talk him through it.

Thank you.

And I will make it back before your fundraiser event.

God knows I could use a champers.

I, erm... I just need to know -

have you... have you thought about it?

Having a baby? Using your eggs.

I just, er... I need to call the clinic.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's do that after your fundraiser tonight.

Zero-nine-zero-two.

That's the new PIN.

Thank you.

Aunty Kate, how do I turn on the TV?

TV PLAYING

MAN ON TV: 'Are you ready to play?'

Timer on the chook, and then you can drive me to the lawyer's office.

Righto.

No suitcase, I see.

Well...

Charlie? KNOCKING ON DOOR

What the fuck?

Whitefellas have all gone mad.

Well, is Charlie OK?

Well, he left with one big, fat fella -

real mean-looking bloke - and a skinny, mean-looking bloke.

Did you recognise 'em, see where they went?

Juney might know.

She came in a little bit after and got little Ki-Ki out.

OK, I'll... I'll find June.

Hey, hey, you're Charlie's woman, eh?

Hey, you wouldn't be able to spot me a few coins, could you?

Desmond made good on his threat on Charlie.

Whoa, they've fucking killed Charlie?!

No, no, no. They need to keep him alive to get me to comply.

You could've started with that!

Jesus! What I need is a new strategy.

I've been playing them white-man games my entire life.

I know how they think.

I can speak their language.

I know what they want.

What do they want?

They always want more... a better deal for them.

What I need to do is find them to give it to them.

You don't find them, June. They find you.

Not this time.

This is on my terms.

And what about Charlie's terms? DOOR OPENS

June?

Keep up, Roddy! Yeah, I...

need to fill my radiator, June.

MUTTERS: Fuck!

Hey! I'm looking for Charlie.

He's not available.

Really? Because I just came from his shop, and it's been trashed.

It's family business. SHARNE SCOFFS

Since when have you given a shit about family?

What have you gotten him into?

Who the fuck do you think you are, little girl?

No, don't answer that.

Cos I know exactly the type of girl that you are.

You're playing victim,

working your way through soft-hearted men like Charlie

until you get bored.

Then you blame it on your trust issues.

Roddy, get the coolant.

See, Charlie is my brother. He's not your man.

He's not some story you're gonna tell to your friends back home

about the time you dated an Aboriginal man,

showcase that painting you got from a native from the colonies.

You and your fucking kind can fuck off back to the motherland!

You don't know me. Oh, darlin'...

...I don't care to.

I'm leaving tonight.

Tell Charlie I... I tried to say goodbye.

Yeah, whatever!

Roddy, I'll meet you there. Yeah.

CAR DOOR SLAMS

Sorry about that.

June always had an acid tongue. Typical black woman.

Lots of fire from being wronged.

Misdirected sometimes.

You have a safe trip back, yeah? Hm?

Actually...

...I came to see you, as well, about your PI services.

I can pay.

CHARLIE SIGHS

MAN: Quick game's a good game. There we go.

Give us, er... two.

For you? Yeah.

PHONE RINGING Hang on.

Ugh, this guy's a clown. Who?

Oh, this fucking electrician.

Got my new shed done, right? And I need it hooked up.

And this bozo reckons that I need 5K for the wiring.

He's dreaming, then, isn't he? Yeah.

You know, if you're looking for a cheap electrician,

I know one that does mate's rates.

He wouldn't charge you no more than... 2.5?

Oh, yeah? Yeah!

He's pretty deadly too.

He did work in my shop when the rats got in.

VALDA RESUMES HUMMING

CAR ALARM CHIRPS

There's, erm...

Well, there's been a complication.

Complication? Yeah.

I got an email from a woman claiming to be George's niece.

Yeah, she heard about his death via friends of friends.

She lives in, like, Cambridge or Oxford.

You know, one of those smart types.

Well, that's impossible.

She's probably trying to scam you.

No, no. She sent me pictures of her and George together.

Apparently, he took her to Adventure World when she was a lass.

Come on, Ross, let's not let these poms pull the wool over our eyes,

coming here and taking what's ours.

Let's just...

...settle the estate.

Final siren hasn't sounded. I'm sorry, Valda.

I've already handed on the information to the police.

I take fraud very seriously. My reputation depends on it.

You know, both on and off the field.

Yeah, well, why... why would I do that?

For my brother.

I-I don't know what you're talking about. Do you, Stevie?

Nope. Mm.

RODDY SIGHS, CLEARS THROAT

I take it Cameron told you I was on my way?

I'm moving my business in a different direction.

Now, I'm aware that this means

you'll take a loss in the record store,

but I'm more than willing to compensate you.

I wanna offer you 25% in my new venture.

Mining.

Clean, above board,

and a shitload of money.

Mining is an interesting pitch.

Just leaning into what this state is good at.

And, you know, we love a little bit of hi-vis, don't we?

Ha! Digging up holes.

Giving the keys to mining companies so they can lease the land,

rip it up and sell to the Chinese.

We are holding up the entire country.

I'm talking hundreds of millions of dollars on paper,

all approved by the government.

But in that game...

...the companies are legally obligated to negotiate

with native title holders and their lawyers - ie, me.

Setting up royalty percentages...

...that go to remote communities

where nobody's really watching where the money's being spent.

Ripping off your own mob, June.

As long as I'm ticking the box as a black face, then...

I can work with whoever.

You see, I got you big returns on a small record store.

Imagine what we could do in mining.

RODDY: Oh, you fuckers.

RODDY TUTS June. June, June, June.

Give you some time to think about it.

27 minutes, in fact.

That's how long it'll take me to pick up my brother.

let me take him off your hands.

And finished.

Huh. What is Aunty June doing?

Oh, well, excuse me for coming in and saving you.

All I've done these past few weeks is listen to you.

My whole life, I've listened to you,

and it just keeps dragging me deeper and deeper into shit, June!

You never take responsibility, do you?

Oh, bullshit! No. Your whole fucking life,

I've been running around picking up after you

since you were in nappies, Charlie.

And I still can't trust you to do anything I tell you to

because you're still a fucking child.

Oh, fuck off, June! Oh, fuck off!

OK, OK. Guys, guys.

Yeah. Time out. Time out, all right?

He wanted to... walk it off. He'll be all right, though.

He's an ungrateful shit.

Well... Well, we... we make a good team, unna?

We got Charlie back. We got the deal done.

And my Shazza... Oh, my Shazza.

She's really gonna respect me now that I'm a partner of a... law firm.

Yeah? It's less paperwork. Less pressure on you.

So no partnership?

No.

Yeah, yeah. What we know. HE CLEARS THROAT

Yeah. Yeah.

Don't forget what I know, June.

about your illegal methods of getting information.

Breaking and entering.

Bugging houses without warrants.

Listening without permission.

See, I just don't think Shazza would approve of her man in jail too.

Hm?

You know what?

Go see Shazza.

Yep. We would like to try again using June's eggs.

OK.

I'll ask June and get to the bottom of it.

Better over there, bub. There's more opportunity.

Freo don't have no Opera House.

Is this because I punched the kid?

This is about making a better life for ourselves.

You're much better than your old dad, even.

Your dad's too scared.

But you said this was home.

And home will always be here, no matter where you are.

You could be all across the world, and I'll still be here.

I'll be looking at that TV, going, "See that girl?

"She's prime minister, and she's from here.

"She's a Freo girl through and through."

OK, you don't have to be prime minister.

You can be whatever you wanna be, OK?

Come here.

You're the only one that listens to me, Dad.

Oh, bub.

Will you come visit me?

Of course. I love you, bub. I always will.

HE SIGHS HEAVILY

Sorry for interrupting.

Erm, Uncle Roddy's here.

Hey, bub.

Charlie...

all the evidence points to her.

It was her car. She got it fixed the day after.

Look, if you need an alibi for the night,

just say you were with me. Fuck her.

Oh, Charlie, she's...

She's never gonna change.

She don't care about family. Yeah, but I do.

She's my sister, Roddy.

She taught me how to tie my shoelaces.

She made me lunch for school.

So you reckon...

...if she had the chance to throw you under the bus, she wouldn't?

Hm?

Yeah, well, best you get in first.

No.

Sure, she screwed up my business,

but she kept all that away from me to protect me.

The fucked-up thing is,

is that all of this has brought us closer together.

And now that all the shit is out there, we can be a proper family.

Like when Mum was here.

RODDY SIGHS

All right. RODDY CLEARS THROAT

Oh, and, erm, Sharne came by earlier,

said she's leaving tonight.

Tonight? Yes, tonight.

Police say they've got Missy done for fraud.

Who's Missy? Sharne.

She admitted she wasn't George's niece

when the real niece contacted the lawyer. What?

She said she was doing it for, like, 20K,

saying that the neighbour from across the road was paying her.

Which neighbour? I don't know.

That dorising old woman. Forget her, June.

I told Missy I killed George.

WHISPERS: Are you kidding me? We're in the cop shop!

I know you don't believe it...

...but I trust her.

SCOFFS

You trust a woman who's been lying to you about who she is.

We've been lying too! Shh!

June.

I promise I will never ask for anything else in this world...

...only for you to help her now.

I'll fix it. Thank you.

Hello. I'm her lawyer.

DOOR CLOSES

So, can we begin?

Yeah, I was set up by the neighbour.

So she's the one you should be interviewing.

OK. Erm, I just need a moment with my client, please.

Can you believe this? Oh, mate.

Waste of our time. DETECTIVE MUTTERS

You off to another wedding?

Make sure you don't get into a car accident.

JUNE SCOFFS

I know that Charlie told you everything.

And I also know that Valda was paying you... Missy.

Yeah, but what I don't understand is how you're all working together.

What, did you...

did you take turns overdosing him on morphine?

Morphine? Yeah.

The pills I found at Valda's.

Let's get two things straight.

We're not working with Valda.

I'd rather drink port water and get giardia

than ever see that woman again.

What's the second?

I don't like you.

I think we've already established that.

But my idiot brother does.

And he called me to save your arse,

and I should be saving my marriage instead.

So...

You'll probably be charged with a low-level offence of fraud.

You only gained a few shitty records.

They'll likely let you go on good behaviour.

But if I can persuade them, a caution...

...on the assurance that you're gonna leave this shithole.

Well?

Fine.

So, my client won't be answering any more questions.

She has no criminal record.

She received no money,

just a vinyl collection that's worth $50, if that.

My brother is a record store owner. That's the value he gave.

So you can run it through the courts. Be my guest.

But she hasn't expired her visa.

It would be more cost effective just to see her go.

The real niece has asked for George's body to be exhumed,

so we're in the process of doing that.

There'll be a full autopsy and a cause of death investigation.

So, you're free to take your client,

but we will be in contact if any issues arise.

Noted.

Missy. So, no charges?

Free to leave the country.

We should talk. Yeah, I'd like that.

Hey, I have a gallery to get to.

So can we do this somewhere else?

Oh, and, er... you're welcome.

Hurry up!

Hi. Hi!

Good to see you. You too. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hi, Sue. So lovely to see you again.

And I think that is the one you're interested in.

Lovely. Thank you. Yeah?

Yes, er, let the Governor know that the art is a tax write-off

if he purchases for his office.

And let his wife know after a few of these, yeah?

Hi! Good to see you.

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Kate. Hi. You're late.

I was at the police station.

I don't care. I'm working this fundraiser,

and I just need you to mingle

and pretend you know something about the artworks, yeah?

MUTTERS: Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

DESMOND: Hello! Fucking hell, this is a bit of all right, isn't it?

Yeah! Free drinks!

Good evening. How you going?

Hey, boys. What do you think?

How much do they want for it?

I don't even know what it is.

How much do they want for that? Hi.

Hello. Hi. I'm the curator here.

I don't believe that you're on the invitation list.

Oh, yeah, your wife invited me. Excuse me?

Speak of the devil. Juney, you haven't told her yet?

We're bloody business partners.

Can we talk privately, please? I'm here to party.

This way.

Kate, congrats on the show.

Yes. Thank you. Oi, see you later.

Bet you didn't expect this a week ago, eh?

Oh, you mean... impersonating some dead guy's niece,

then shagging a man at his funeral... Ooh.

...and stupidly falling in love with that same man

who, turns out, killed the man I was impersonating the niece of.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that.

"Love"?

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

But you probably wish you could go back, yeah?

No, actually.

I've spent my whole life running.

It's been nice...

...to dance.

Well, we can still dance.

SHE CHUCKLES Well, I mean, I am stupid.

Shit.

Fucking June.

She's right, you know?

I've just been floating through life with nothing to offer.

And now with your unc... well, fake uncle...

I'm truly sorry, Missy.

But it's not your fault, it's Valda's.

Who? Valda, the neighbour.

Is she the one that paid you? Yeah.

You don't know her?

I didn't know her name was Valda.

Well, June does.

Oh, well, June knows everyone.

What are you doing here?

Well, you come into my space, I can come into yours, right?

SHE SIGHS It's just...

this is a private event that my wife is running.

Yeah, your wife. Handy having her around, isn't it?

With her dad being a judge and all.

They're not familiar with our deal. Our deal, yeah.

I've been thinking about that, you know? 25%?

I don't know, it just doesn't feel like you...

Oh! ...respect me.

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

I'm disappointed in you, June.

I thought you were smarter than that. But you don't know your place.

And I don't like it when people don't know their place.

And your place is very expendable.

So I am upping my percentage to 100.

I'm taking it all.

The law firm, the record shop and the mining idea.

Cos I've got loads of low-life lawyers on the books.

The boys will be in touch.

Oh, by the way, if you ever wanna try it...

JUNE EXHALES SHAKILY

WHIMPERS

SOBBING

All I wanna know is why.

We had a nice life.

Because I told my boss to get fucked,

and then I punched him, Kate.

Remember?

Big heroic story you love telling everyone.

I mean, this is a small, stupid town.

Runs on reputation, and there was no-one...

...that would hire me.

So, yeah, I borrowed money.

And I had to borrow more money to keep it up. And then...

...I was under their thumb.

I mean, old Desi isn't half of it. LAUGHS

It's funny, is it?

It kind of is, yeah.

What about me?

What about me

and the mud that's gonna bring down my community work?

Come on, Kate. What community?

Those rich Perth-onalities?

Cos I didn't see one blackfella out there.

It's a fundraiser.

For your egos, not community.

Any of my family events, you leave as quick as you can.

So do you.

You know, if only you had've stayed...

That wedding.

If you had've driven me home...

What does that have to do with any of this?

JUNE EXHALES

What?

See, you can't... you can't even tell me

without spinning more lies.

You never learn, June.

I know that you called the fertility clinic two years ago...

...and you had your eggs destroyed.

Why would you do that?

To me? To us?

But do you know what I feel right now?

I feel relief.

Relief that I won't have to bring a kid into this world

with a pathetic, self-loathing, selfish parent.

Really?

Because, you know...

...I thought you would have loved

parading around our half-black kids like you have me.

Given that entitled white girl a bit of street cred.

Well, fuck, Kate.

Can you imagine the donations that would have come pouring in?

Well...

...we can't come back from that, can we?

Good.

So we end on the truth, then.

And the truth is,

if you have done anything publicly illegal

that puts my family's reputation on the line,

I will bring you down.

Still a daddy's girl, then.

I want you gone by tomorrow.

And you can leave out the back.

I think the front door will suit me just fine.

No blacks out the back this time.

Tastes like...

YELLS: Shit!

CHARLIE: What the fuck happened, June?

Go. Go where?

Go start a new life somewhere far away.

Do what I can't do.

Now, I know that I can never repay you. But...

...I can give you your freedom.

Get a taxi to the airport.

Get tickets for both of you. And, Charlie...

...don't look back.

Do we hug or...

...say goodbye?

Right.

Thanks, sis.

Get out now.

Don't look back.

CAR ENGINE STARTS

Well?

Let's start with the facts.

If you must.

An old man dying of cancer.

You...

...his concerned neighbour, helping him with his medicine,

becoming his friend and, in time, conveniently...

...the beneficiary of his estate.

Just as you wanted.

But, George, he was a fighter, wasn't he?

He wasn't dying in a hurry.

So you thought that you might help him on his way.

Gave him more morphine than he was prescribed.

Until one night, dazed and confused,

he stumbled out of his house, looking for help

and into the middle of the road.

And you just sat there watching it all.

Waiting.

We were just a brother and a sister coming home from a cousin's wedding.

And you ruined my life.

You're not exactly innocent, pet.

Oh, erm, you know that they're exhuming George's body

on request of his niece?

His real niece.

There won't be any drugs in his system now.

Mm... no.

But, erm, there'll be broken bones

and possibly signs of internal bleeding.

And I'm screwed... Mm.

...but so are you.

Sharne gave me all the records and receipts.

Circumstantial evidence, yes,

but a good lawyer can make a decent case out of it.

And I may be many things,

but I am a good lawyer.

But I am willing...

...to destroy it all if you do one thing.

What's that?

Say it was Charlie in the car.

And only Charlie.

VALDA ON RECORDING: 'Doing in your brother?

'Hm. Didn't think you had it in you.'

JUNE: 'He was the one driving.

'I'm just removing myself from the scene.'

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

SIGHS DEEPLY

SOFTLY: Oh... fuck.

SIGHING: Oh.

CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Hey.

We can just forget all of this, and we can leave right now.

It's up to you.

I'm sorry.

You should be on a plane.

Why are you here? I could ask you the same question.

I'm just following up on Missy's case,

making sure Valda doesn't talk.

Making sure Valda pins it all on me.

I heard everything on Roddy's radio.

It's not what it sounds like.

I was just working on a plan for both of us.

Oh, just stop talking, June.

Stop, OK? You should be on a plane.

I'm not going overseas.

I'm gonna go to Sydney with Missy to spend time with Kiah.

No, Charlie.

Nah, I'm not listening to you any more, June.

We should have just called the cops.

It was an accident. No.

It's not just an accident. Not for us.

People would have understood, even Kate.

No, I would have embarrassed her even more than I already have.

She wouldn't understand. How can she?

She can't even understand why I don't wanna have a kid.

Not my kid.

How can I tell her?

I don't wanna bring another generation in

that has to deal with all of this shit.

This constant fighting, Charlie.

And then not fighting enough, and being called a sell-out

and an Oreo and a coconut and a black bitch.

People look at us differently, Charlie.

How can I put a little kid through that?

HE EXHALES We would have got through it.

Mum said that we needed to stick together,

to make sure that we look out for each other.

Mum wanted what was best for you, Charlie... not me.

Mum loved you, June.

But she never liked me.

I'm sorry, June.

You have nothing to say sorry for. Mm.

I do. SIREN CHIRPS

When?

When you told me to go with the woman you hate.

That was my first inkling.

Missy knew beforehand.

She had Roddy telling Valda already.

We just followed you here.

I guess I had to grow up some day, eh, sis?

June Reed,

you are under arrest for dangerous driving

occasioning the death of George Clark.
