NATE: Oi! Oi!

RICHARD: I know you´re
looking into Tyler´s death

and whether there were
drugs involved.

The club said you´d asked.

I can´t discuss this reference
with you, Richard.

It could break causation
for Nate,

so if you know anything,
I need to hear it.

I find there is a reasonable
prospect of conviction

and commit Nathaniel Baldwin
to trial for manslaughter.

You are supposed to be keeping
him out of jail, Richard.

I´m not getting locked up!

I´m instructing you
to get me off.

-Cindi.
-Pearl.

Where´s Tyler´s jersey?

The Devils jersey.
It´s gone.

-YOUNG MAN: Yeah --
-That was my brother´s!

You psycho bitch!

I´m not going back
to that shit hole. No way.

Where else is there?
Home?

PEARL: As if.
I´ll figure something else out.

-JANET: Hello.
-Hi.

-It´s Flynn, isn´t it?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-BIANCA: She´s 15.
-JANET: I know. He´s a creep.

You all good?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

This is right before
the time of the fire,

from a petrol station
two minutes away.

BIANCA: That´s who set fire
to Wazim´s house?

BONNIE: Has to be.

Who are you?

You mean to say you deliberately
arranged extra payments

outside the salary cap?

That´s all. No bets, no fixes.
We just wanted Nate.

I had to tell them about Nate.

Just the salary cap.

Shit.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

I´ve been informed that the APL
has a report

alleging that the
Northern Devils Football Club

was involved in
breaching their salary cap

to induce Nate Baldwin
to re-sign.

I merely wish to confirm
that there is no direct evidence

linking Pax Car Rentals
to this allegation,

and I´m confident
that any investigation...

[ Engine revs, tires screech ]

Great fucking timing!

Fuck this.

GRAHAM:
As sponsors, we are not privy

to any of
the financial arrangements

the club may enter into
with any of its players.

How can he get away with that?

Ah, well, he´s choosing
his words very carefully.

I mean, the deal was verbal.

Pax itself was never mentioned,

and he´s fighting
to keep that company afloat.

But he made a statement.

Well, it depends
how much of that statement

we did or didn´t pass on
to the APL.

And, as I´m sure
you can imagine,

most of Mr. King´s evidence
had to remain confidential

in order for us
to conduct our investigation,

so those transcripts --

Were considerably redacted
for security...

-Security.
-...purposes.

I don´t want us
giving him any favors.

"Oh, thank you, Tony."
"Don´t mention it, Janet."

Well, why are you helping him?
He´s not your father.

No.
But he´s still yours.

You going to
call Richard Stirling

about a deal with Nate?

-What? No.
-No?

He´d do anything
to stop his client

facing a jury right now,
wouldn´t he?

Thug and salary cheat,
all over every news feed.

And we need Nate talking.

We heard the man who forced
Clay Nelson to kill himself

inside his house.

Which is why my position will be
stronger when Richard calls me.

-What if he doesn´t?
-Well, we´ll see, right?

Anything else?

Yeah, I went to

a "gender equality in the public
service" breakfast this morning.

Owen Mitchell was telling us
how he single-handedly

raised the ratio of women
at the DPP.

I thought
that´d get your attention.

Anyway, we got talking,
and he said there was

a change in prosecutors
for the Baldwin trial.

And who is it now?

I thought you had a good
relationship with the press?

Darling, if this was
just dirt on the floor

I could sweep it under the rug.

But unfortunately, the whole
bloody house is on fire.

Well, it does make an acquittal
even more difficult.

-You do realize that?
-Of course I do.

God, how did
this become so hard?

-What?
-Getting Nate into retirement.

-His last year at the club.
-Well, ask Graham King.

I mean, why invest
all that money

and then hang the club
and its star player out to dry?

Okay, right now we just need to
focus on getting Nate cleared.

That´s the main game right now.

-What are you doing?
-Focusing.

Janet. Hi.

Please, it´s a simple question.

Have you identified the drug

Tyler was taking
before he was killed?

Is your client willing
to tell us the name of the man

who gave him an envelope
of cash the other day

and everything he knows
about match fixing and gambling?

He might, if he was sure
it meant he´d avoid jail.

It´s the only chance he has.

No trial is a foregone
conclusion. You know that.

And without the drug,
you have little defense.

We both know that too.
So time´s ticking.

Why don´t you go
and advise your client

how to stay out of jail,
all right?

When he talks, we´ll act.

Oh, and I take it
you´ve heard about

the new crown
you´ll be opposing?

OWEN: You´ve done
an excellent job on the brief.

It´s so strong
a three-legged dog could win it.

LINA: Woof.

Lina, if it was at all possible
for you to run it, you would be.

I´ll definitely make sure
you get all due credit

when the time comes.

Owen!

Hey, sorry.
Lina.

I heard there´s been --
there´s been a change?

Yes.

-Who?
-LINA: Guess.

RICHARD: What?

Richard!

How good´s this, eh?

Mate against mate.

-Ben McMahon.
-Yep!

Former colleagues
going toe to toe.

-Should be fun, right?
-Play nice, kids.

-So you´ve had quite the rise.
-So have you.

Ah, well, mostly luck.
You know, sheer arse, really.

But you -- Keep seeing you
pop up everywhere, huh?

Nate Baldwin must be
quite the cash cow.

He asked me to represent him.
I agreed. Simple as that.

Yeah, hey -- Hey, not your fault
that you do your job,

he gets off and reoffends,
needs your help again, right?

Of course, you know,
that wouldn´t happen

if the prosecution
did their job properly.

RICHARD: Are you including
yourself in that assessment?

He´s certainly not including me.

We probably
shouldn´t be discussing Nate.

You´re absolutely right.

Especially when everyone else
is discussing it.

Doesn´t exactly
make it easy, right?

LINA: Ben...

What?
It´s just a sledge.

I´ll have you know, sledging is
a time-honored tradition

in Australian sport.

He can take it.
Let´s get a coffee.

BONNIE: If we track down the
arsonist, he´ll probably talk,

giving us one of two results --

A, he´s a free agent
hired by Wazim,

or, B, he´s working
for the betting syndicate.

What would
you put those odds at?

An even 50-50.

A 50% chance of getting inside
the betting network.

It´s still a 50% chance
it´ll give us nothing.

Well, what´s the current plan?

Wait for Nate Baldwin
to agree to a deal

based on finding a drug we don´t
know the whereabouts of,

which we may or may not get
in time for it to be of any use?

Sounded better
when Janet said it.

That´s one, two, three
indeterminate variables,

and the issue there is obvious.

So in terms of probability,

the arsonist lead is more likely
to give us a favorable outcome

than the drug.

Yeah, that actually
makes a lot of sense.

It´s just basic
probability analysis.

You should pitch it to Janet.

MAXINE:
We don´t need to cut deals.

Hey, whatever keeps me
out of jail,

now the sponsor´s
dumped me in it.

MAXINE:
You can´t talk to the NCC.

NATE:
Do you want to see me go down?

At the moment, the only way
I´m gonna stay outside

is if I get hold
of that drug, right?

RICHARD: Yes.

And the only chance I´ve got
to get that drug

is if I talk to them, right?

I don´t see any other way,

but I´m not totally sure
they can get it either.

LUCY: So where does that leave
us, with Nate going to jail?

MAXINE:
That´s not happening.

What if I got it?

Shit.

Could she get it?

MAXINE:
That´s the answer, isn´t it?

You see, if I get the drug,
he stays out of jail,

doesn´t have to talk to anyone.

That´s problem solved.

Are you sure you can find it?

You worry about your job,
Richard,

and I´ll worry about mine.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Okay, we need to
track Maxine´s phone.

Can I also remind people
about the arsonist?

Later!
Just track Maxine, all right?

You think she can get it?

Hard to tell.
Could just be Maxine shit-talk.

That is her job.

If she knew exactly where to
find it, she´d already have it.

But she knows Eddie Cooke was
behind the supplement program

for the Devils, like we do.

I bet that´s where she´s going.

BONNIE:
She´s wasting her time.

We searched every inch
of Continuum and came up empty.

True, but if that drug

underpinned the bet
on the Devils,

it has to be somewhere.

It´s too valuable
to completely destroy.

But would Eddie just hand over
a secret drug to a sports agent?

No, he´s gonna want to avoid

any link
between him and the drug.

That´d just
kill his business completely.

He´s gonna want a lot
of assurances about anonymity,

et cetera, et cetera,

before he thinks about
handing it over to anyone.

But he might, eventually,
to stop Nate talking.

Unless we can convince him
to hand it to one of us first.

Well, not one of us, obviously.

No, somebody he thinks

has absolutely nothing to do
with us,

like an undercover agent
who goes in there

as an elite athlete
in need of help.

Going to need a pretty good
undercover cop to pull that off.

Okay, is she? She´s going
to Eddie´s, isn´t she?

BONNIE: Looks like it.

JANET: Okay, I think
he keeps it off-site.

We need to watch these two,
see where they go after this.

[ Beeping ]

Eddie, please.
Now, what´s better for you?

Nate in jail,
desperate to cut a deal,

or Nate at home,
free as a bird?

-I don´t know what Tyler took.
-I do.

He did what he was told.

He followed the club rules
to the letter

because he needed that contract.

He wouldn´t have done anything
to jeopardize that.

So whatever he took,
he got here.

I know the sports world, Eddie.

You see a lot of people,
they tell me a lot of things,

not least my 42 clients,
but especially the five Devils.

I´m in the know.
You got that?

So cut the crap and give me
what you were giving them.

There´s none left.

Oh! That´s bullshit.

What, a drug that good, that
gets the Devils into the semis?

As if you´d run out of that.

We´d get supplied
when there was a demand,

but with Tyler´s death
and the NCC strangling us,

that demand is gone.

I don´t have any left.

Well, get some more.

Okay.

I will ask my supplier.
But I can´t guarantee anything.

I´ll see you tomorrow.

I´ll be back, Eddie.

-Hello.
-Hi.

Where are they?

Liam´s at the sausage sizzle,
and Em´s at the 70-meter start.

Okay, great.
Have you spoken to Zoe yet?

Good luck.

ZOE: Tom, take your mark back,
then fast at the bar!

-Hey, Zoe.
-And drive the knee up!

Hey, Janet.

-Hey, how´s Emma?
-Great. Yeah, she´s loving it.

Liam was too, but his
ankle´s still not better, so...

Don´t talk to me about injuries.
Greta tore her quad last week.

Oh, no, that girl
you were coaching?

Six weeks out from worlds,
ranked number two.

Last week
she´s looking at a medal,

now we´re not even sure
if she´s gonna make it.

That must be
heartbreaking for her.

Well, yeah.

When you give up six years,
stop working,

count every calorie.

But I suppose in Liam´s world,
if he can´t run at Zone,

I feel sorry for him too.

JANET:
Oh, don´t be sorry for him.

He´s only upset

because I wouldn´t give him
the day off school.

Um, but, look,
I was hoping to have a chat,

because I´m kind of involved
with sport at the moment,

in a funny sort of way,

and given who you are
and what you do,

I was hoping
to pick your brains.

All right,
we should grab a drink.

You deserve champers.
You nailed that brief.

Do you remember how much we used
to struggle with summaries?

Oh, yeah.
Practice makes perfect, I guess.

No, I really shouldn´t.

-I´ve got to head back and...
-Oh, come on.

The bar´s just around
the corner, isn´t it?

-Andy´s got the kid, right?
-Amal, yes.

-That´s a beautiful name.
-Oh, thanks.

Hey, check this.

-[ Clears throat ]
-Oh!

-That´s my wife, Bella.
-Oh, yeah, we´ve all seen Bella.

-BEN: And that´s Remy.
-Gorgeous!

BEN: I just wish I got to
see them more, to be honest.

But I do most of my prep
at night,

mapping out
my opening addresses,

marking up witness statements,
lines of interrogation.

You´ve got a two-year-old and
you get all that done at night?

I´m doing well
if I brush my teeth.

Well, Bella hasn´t
gone back to work,

so she does most of the hard
yards with Remy, you know?

I´m like a "cuddle
and kiss good night" dad.

I so need a wife.

-No, I´d do more.
-I wasn´t criticizing.

No, I´m not defending.

I mean it.
I...

I wish I could do more.

I thought you weren´t
gonna lift a finger

unless Nate started talking.

Well, things changed.
Other information came to light.

But I need an assurance when we
find this drug, Nate will talk.

So that was just a bluff before.
You don´t have it.

And if you do find
material evidence

in a manslaughter trial,

you´ll have to
hand it over anyway.

Well, things do disappear
from evidence rooms

from time to time.

We think we can keep
your client out of jail.

Your job is to buy us the time
so we can wrap this up

to everyone´s satisfaction,

without a trial
actually starting.

BEN: Richard!

[ Laughs ]
How are you, mate?

-Janet?
-Hello.

-Ben.
-Wow!

What´s it been,
like four or five years?

-Yeah, something like that.
-You look great.

Thank you, and I hear
you´re, um, married.

Yes, yes.
Yeah, got all, uh, responsible.

Settled down.

The premier´s daughter.

So isn´t it more accurate
to say she settled down,

you settled up?

I´m joking. I´m sure
there´s a lot of love there.

Hey, I was sorry to hear
about Ash.

That must have been terrible.

Thank you, yes.

But, hey, look how far
we´ve all come, right?

NCC examiner, barrister,
barrister...

Future Nobel laureate.

Currently mother.

Toughest job you´ll ever have.

-Stay in touch, huh?
-Yeah.

It was good to see you, Ben.

Yeah, likewise.
See you, Janet.

JANET: Yeah.

-I should go too.
-LINA: Ohh!

You got to be kidding me.
You´re having a drink with me.

After the trial might be more
appropriate, don´t you think?

Let´s cross swords first,
and then once it´s all done,

we can catch up after that.

Cross swords?
What sword´s he got?

What sword do you have?
Seriously. [ Laughs ]

I mean,
I couldn´t even find a toothpick

in the facts that I read.

I´m surprised
you´re not pleading guilty.

One more.
Come on, my shout.

And we won´t mention
the case again, will we?

Oh, never.
Mnh-mnh.

-So you look nervous.
-I´m not nervous.

You´re not nervous?
Shit, I´d be nervous.

I´d be sweating more
than a gypsy with a mortgage,

to be honest with you.

I mean, who´d want to be you
right now?

Seriously, major trial,
in the public spotlight,

up against this one.

[ Exhales sharply ]
With no defense.

You got enough underwear?

[ Laughs ]
Pshhh! Right?

You´re so easy to stir.
Come on, sit down.

I´ll see you later.

So you know Zoe Dicosta?

Oh, I´ve only met her
a couple of times.

Our kids
go to Tiny Track together.

Oh, wow.

Have you actually
seen her gold medal race?

No, but I should
look that up.

She attacked about 6K out,

putting about 30 seconds
between her and the peloton.

Couple of chasers went after
her, but she fended them off.

She was battling
a really nasty headwind

for the last K and a half too.

So, yeah, it was
a really, really gutsy ride.

-Sounds impressive.
-Yeah, it was.

Especially as the Spaniard
who took the bronze

got done for doping
two years later.

-Really?
-Yeah.

PEDs give you
that extra 1% edge,

but it doesn´t mean much
without putting in

the 99% hard work first.

Zoe was just mentally tougher.

You´ve got a similar grunt.

Oh, I wasn´t aware I grunted.

Oh, no, no, no.
It´s a good thing.

Like -- Like ticker.

Or hunger.

Pluck?

-BIANCA: Zoe´s here.
-Great.

We know the man running
this sports medicine clinic

has used a supplement
unknown to ASADA.

The question is,
what does an undercover cop

have to do and say
to make him believe

they are genuinely
from the world of elite sport,

and then how to ask
for some of this substance?

It´s not on the banned list?

-No.
-What does it do?

Well, we think it speeds up
recovery, aids endurance.

God, if it was legal,
I´d be queuing up for it now.

Greta´d kill her grandmother
to get her hands on the stuff.

-Greta?
-It´s one of Zoe´s cyclists.

She´s a total freak of nature.

VO2 touching 70, threshold 242,
and a monster TSS.

-GILLIES: What?
-Training stress score.

It´s sort of a number
that rates your workout.

But unfortunately she´s injured
at the moment, right?

Getting over a torn quad,

so her normalized power´s
still down about 5% to 8%,

and worlds
are just around the corner.

-So it´s a race against time.
-Is it ever.

I think we´ve seen
about 11 doctors,

tried just about everything.

At this point,
if they said take arsenic,

she probably would.

And risk death?

If it would fix her,
probably worth it.

That´s the way Greta´s thinking.

All those sacrifices.
It´s...

Well, yeah.

If I told her I could
get her something

not on the banned list
that could get her to worlds,

she´d beg me for it.

Now, we should get all this down
for the cop

so that they sound like

they´ve got the right shorthand
and describe exactly

what they´re looking for,
sound genuine.

Sure.

It would also really help
if whoever we choose

has a background in sport.

You know any former
footballers, basketballers,

someone like that
on the force?

So you´ve got no idea
what this stuff is?

None.

Just say, for example,
just say I was asking for it --

I wouldn´t be asking
for a banned substance, right?

No one´s gonna suggest
that you --

Well, hang on a second.

Let´s just think about it
for a minute.

I mean, okay,
let´s say that you --

you never met us,
but you´d heard that this guy,

Eddie Cooke,
he´d been getting great results

and his athletes
were passing all the tests.

I´d want to know what it was
and where I could get it.

Okay, let´s say he just gave you
something in a bottle.

Even when I was racing,

you´re mad to take
whatever anyone gives you,

but you can´t be on your guard
the whole time.

No, so you would just
take it somewhere first,

to find out exactly what it was.

If I didn´t know what it was,
totally, yeah.

I´d have to,
for my own reputation.

-JANET: Right.
-I´d happily do that.

I mean, I haven´t asked
for anything I knew is banned,

and if it should be and we end
up catching a drug cheat, great.

And if it turned out that it
actually did help with recovery,

wasn´t performance enhancing...

I´d use it.

Okay.
So let´s do it.

Hang -- Hang on, Janet.

There are procedures
and protocols. We can´t...

I wasn´t here.

I didn´t know
any of this was happening.

I told you, there´s none left.

Your inaction will mean

that Nate Baldwin´s gonna talk
to the crime commission,

which can´t happen,
as you well know.

We both have reputations
to uphold.

I got it from my supplier,
Flynn and I administered it,

and now it´s all gone.

There´s nothing I can do.

You´re as useless as
a shit-flavored lollipop, Eddie.

BIANCA: Recording.

JANET: Okay.

EDDIE: Zoe Dicosta.
It´s a pleasure to meet you.

-ZOE: Dr. Cooke.
-Eddie, please.

Welcome to Continuum.

JANET: Bonnie.
You need to stay on Maxine.

On it.

EDDIE: What brings you here?
Can I show you around?

ZOE: I´ve heard good things,
and I need help.

Wondered if you might
be able to.

EDDIE: I hope so.
[ Chuckles ]

So, what´s the problem?

ZOE: Not sure if you know,
but I´m coaching Greta Beckett.

EDDIE: Yeah, yeah.

Time trialist.
Individual pursuit. I know.

ZOE:
She tore her quad last week.

-EDDIE: Medialis?
-Femoris. Grade two.

EDDIE:
And when are the worlds?

ZOE: Six weeks,

but if she takes three
or four weeks off to recover,

her power will drop,

and even down
four or five watts, that´s --

-EDDIE: First to third.
-Or fourth or even fifth.

We really need a fast recovery.

EDDIE: She been good with icing,
compression?

ZOE: Yeah.
On top of that.

BONNIE: Janet?

ZOE: We managed it well
in the beginning, it´s just now.

She´s got to give herself time

to get her threshold
back up over 240.

But all the physios are saying
another fortnight

before she can pedal,

and Greta´s like,
"Get me back on the bike now."

Then we heard about you,
the miracle man.

EDDIE:
Have you tried PRPs?

ZOE: The plasma injections?
Are they really that good?

EDDIE:
They certainly help.

ZOE: Full recovery?
She´ll take anything, Eddie.

Well, obviously nothing
on the banned list --

she still gets
out-of-competition tested --

but if there´s anything else.

Please.

She´s given up her life
for this.

You know what athletes are like.

EDDIE: I´m sorry, but there´s
not much else I can offer.

Come on, Zoe.
Come on.

Think of something.

Eddie, if you help Greta win,
it´ll be your victory too.

And in front of the whole media,
I promise,

you will get the credit
you deserve.

You will be the man who got her
back to the starting line,

and everyone in the world
will know it.

EDDIE: Okay.

If I can help,
I´ll give you a call tomorrow.

She´s good.

Mm. They always said
she was tough to race.

FLYNN:
No, it´s all gone.

Once Tyler died and we found

there was something weird
about his blood,

we, uh, binned it all.

I know how you hang out
with the stars,

their girlfriends, whoever.

And they let you.

Not because you´re the fun guy
but because you sell them fun.

Whatever they want, you´ve got.

Now, a drug that gets the Devils
from last to fourth,

there´s got to be other buyers
for that, right?

FLYNN:
What´s your offer?

MAXINE:
So you mean you do have it?

One bottle, 20 grand.
Cash.

You´ve got to be kidding me.

Oh, but it´s incredible stuff.

That´s the price.
Take it or leave it.

All right, I´ll take it.

You´re a fucking little shit.
You´re gonna regret this.

You getting $20,000 off her?

-Can you loan me a grand?
-Oh! Yeah, right.

No, I´m serious. It´s to bail
my friend Cindi out.

She really needs it.

[ Sighs ]

You staying at home tonight?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Yeah.

WALKER: Mr. Stirling,
what is your argument

for having this trial
not proceed?

Your Honor,
the negative publicity

surrounding my client´s case

and his reputation
is enormous.

It is inconceivable

he can receive a fair trial
in the current environment.

And in support
of this submission?

Yes, Your Honor, there is

considerable evidence
from many Internet sites

that I wish to present
to the court.

Your Honor, do we really
need to hear all of it?

Social media is not new,
Mr. Stirling,

and the legal system has managed
to operate successfully

since its inception.

I appreciate that, Your Honor,

but the wealth
of supporting material

forms a compelling basis
for my submission.

BEN: Your Honor, Nate Baldwin
is a very public sports figure.

It would be almost impossible
to find a juror

in the entire state
who had never heard of him.

Indeed, yes.
Even I have heard of him.

BEN: Meaning recent coverage
is unlikely to have altered

anyone´s opinion of him.

If cases are to be
thrown out on the basis

that social media
creates unfair trials,

well, then, nothing would ever
be tried in court again.

My instructions to the jury
will be to take into account

only evidence
presented in court,

not hearsay outside of it.

Therefore press coverage
cannot unduly influence them.

It is impossible
for anyone to forget hearsay.

Are you suggesting I am
a biased judge, Mr. Stirling?

Of course not, Your Honor.

The request to have the trial
not proceed is denied.

Trial will commence tomorrow
at 9:00 a.m.

Your Honor, I would like to make
a last-minute request

for a judge-only trial.

Your Honor, my learned colleague
cannot keep delaying this trial.

WALKER:
Exactly what I was thinking.

RICHARD: It is in the public
interest for this trial

to be completely above any
suspicion of bias, Your Honor.

And given the adverse publicity
surrounding the trial --

Objection, Your Honor.
It´s the same argument.

RICHARD: I am not questioning
the clarity or authority

of your instructions
to the jury, Your Honor,

but their ability
to adhere to them.

Very well.

Submissions to me
by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Well played, mate.
See you tomorrow.

-Can´t wait.
-BEN: Mm.

Bring it on.

Can´t wait for the all-nighter
on a judge-only submission.

Well, he shouldn´t
have demolished

the not-proceed option so well.

LINA: He´s not really enjoying
this as much as he looks.

Yes, he is.

You´re enjoying it too, right?

-I´m warming to it.
-[ Cellphone rings ]

Maxine.

Yes, this is...

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

RICHARD: 20,000?

-Cash.
-Did you see it at Flynn´s?

MAXINE: No, but I´m sure
he´s got some.

NATE: Or he might
just want to pocket 20 grand.

MAXINE: We won´t know for sure
until we turn up with the money.

NATE:
Have you got that much?

MAXINE: Me?
20,000 in cash?

What do I look like,
an ATM machine?

-What about you?
-No!

Well, Nate, we could get that
somehow, couldn´t we?

It just -- It takes a few days
to organize that much.

Right, if we´re moving
that amount of cash,

we´ve got to make sure the
tax office isn´t looking at us.

We´ll take it out in bits.

[ Sighs ] Okay, just,
look, leave it with me.

I´ll sell a few things.
I´ll get it together somehow.

Save all our asses, as per.

I thought we were
tracking Maxine´s phone.

-We are.
-I am.

So you knew she was seeing
Flynn Pearce?

You didn´t tell us?

How long until we can get
a listening device into Flynn´s?

Could take us a day
to get the warrant.

Okay, forget the warrant.
That´ll happen when it happens.

-An hour.
-Okay, do it.

Make sure it´s there
before she goes back.

But without a warrant,
anything we record is --

Okay, you just need
to shut up, all right?

The one time you should have
opened your mouth

is the only time
in the last six weeks

you´ve kept it closed.

In case it escaped
your attention,

which for an analyst
there is absolutely no excuse,

we´re in a race here --

against time, a manslaughter
trial, Maxine Reynolds.

She buys that drug, presents it
to the court, gets Nate off,

we´re back to square one.

That´s what´s at stake here,

and you´ve just put
all of that in jeopardy!

I´m sorry.
I was...

Okay, what were you doing?
No, no, let me guess.

You were still trying to figure
out the identity of the arsonist

because you decided
that was the priority,

not locating the drug.

You are not running
your own reference here.

You are part of a team,

and I am the one who dictates
the direction of it, not you.

Don´t make the mistake
of thinking

you´re the smartest person
in the room.

You´re not.

Out.

LUCY: Richard.

Can you just -- just tell me,
and be honest --

What are his chances?

Maxine finding that drug
could make all the difference,

providing Flynn
isn´t ripping her off.

Right, if he gets locked up,
I have no money.

I have nothing.

This isn´t a crime
that they seize assets for.

You´d still have your bank
accounts, your credit cards.

I don´t have any.

I don´t even have this betting
account that´s supposedly mine.

I wish.

I mean, I get my bags, makeup,
shoes, all from my sponsors,

who are all dumping me
quick smart.

You´ve never had your own money?

What, because I´m a typical WAG
who sponges off her husband

and goes to the opening
of an envelope?

No, no, no.
Of course not.

Do you know how we met?

In a taxi rank.

Nate had been to some do,
and I´d had a Mozart recital.

You like classical music?

I play it.

I went to
the Conservatorium of Music.

Look, Nate takes care
of everything for me.

He looks after me.

You might want to make
alternative arrangements,

just in case.

He won´t do that.

I´ll see if I can
talk some sense into him.

Thank you.

[ Door opens ]

We should be online
in Flynn´s place now.

Want me to check?

Yes, thank you.

-PEARL: Cindi needs me.
-FLYNN: Yeah, well, I need you.

PEARL: You don´t know
what she´s going through.

It´s really messed up.

Welfare overpaid her,

and she owes them a grand
she doesn´t have,

and she can´t get her benefits
until she´s paid it back.

You sure you can´t help?

I´m not a charity, Pearl.

Come on, why don´t you just...

Why don´t you just chill out?
We can relax.

The guy that killed my brother
goes on trial tomorrow.

I want to have a drink
with my friend.

Sure.

You want to see Cindi,
go see Cindi.

-Really?
-Yeah, of course.

Thanks.

I just thought you needed
a place to stay, that´s all.

I mean if you don´t, fine, go.
I´m not keeping you locked up.

But if you go now,

don´t come back here.

Okay.

What do you want to do?

FLYNN: I want you
to take your clothes off.

We can have some fun, yeah?

We don´t have the warrant
in place, do we?

No.

Good girl.

Good girl.

Okay.
I´ve heard enough.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Horns honking ]

Ah, don´t forget
to argue the strengths

of the Westminster system.

Andy, what about your mum?
Can she pick Amal up?

Richard´s just dropped
an application

for a judge-only on us.

You know,
how it´s underpinned by a belief

juries take their
responsibilities very seriously.

No, my brother can´t.
His car´s getting repaired.

Study after study
shows this to be the case.

Yeah, well,
I´ll call you back in five.

OWEN: Just thought I´d check in
and see how you´re both doing.

BEN: All good.
Yeah, we´re on top of it.

-You go.
-We´re just finishing up.

I don´t want to lose
another case

with a high-profile sportsman.

We won´t. But we could find
a few more arguments.

BEN: No, we´ve got it
with what you´ve given me.

You go see your daughter, right?
Give her a cuddle from me.

Ah, crossed wires with Andy
about childcare.

First time for everything,
right?

Right.

-Thanks.
-You´re welcome.

[ Horn honking ]

[ Siren wails ]

Mummy.

Yeah.

Did you give her
something for the pain?

Yeah, I´m just waiting
for it to work.

Oh, bub. Those horrible
toothy-pegs still hurting?

Oh, come here.

Hey, you´ve got court tomorrow.
Go to bed.

Yeah.
It is tomorrow.

I just want to make sure I´ve
got all the points in my head.

Well, that´s no good if your
head´s asleep on the bench.

Well, I don´t want Ben or Owen
to think I´m not across it.

Oh, as if they would.

I´ve had to leave early
a couple of times.

Oh.

I-I´d change my shifts,

but I´ve got three men
on stress leave.

It´s fine.
I can manage, Andy.

Hey, ah, you don´t have to
prove anything to anyone, okay?

You´re doing a brilliant job.

Owen says so,
Ben says so, I think so.

You stop doubting yourself.

WAYNE:
Got a visual on Cooke again.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

And someone´s not
too happy with him.

What is it?!

WAYNE: Mitchell Douglas,
the coach of the Devils.

[ Shutter clicking ]

Now he´s getting
into his car.

Alone.

Didn´t appear to be
carrying anything.

Oh, he´s heading south.
Bay Road.

-JANET: Stay on him.
-Rightio.

He´s going to Flynn´s.
He´s gonna get the drug.

-Confident.
-Where´s Maxine?

BONNIE:
Heading to the bank again.

She got
nine grand out yesterday.

-And Flynn?
-BIANCA: Still snoring.

Pearl´s left for court.

The warrant´s in place,

so whatever we hear now is
admissible, but we still need --

That statement from Pearl.

-I´ll keep you updated.
-Thanks.

WOMAN: How do you think
you´ll go today?

Will the Devils release you
from your contract?

No comment.

Please, can you
give us some space?

Should be here
by this afternoon,

tomorrow at the latest.

MAN: Ms. Perati,
do you have any comment?

My son was taken from me
by that monster

who pretended to be his friend.

MITCHELL: You sure
you don´t need me in there?

Yeah.

Look, Nate´s got a temper,

but he´s not the monster they´re
making him out to be.

Okay? He looked out for Ty.
This isn´t fair.

You weren´t a witness.

I´ve got to do something
to help make it right, okay?

One of our boys has died.
He was just a kid.

I´m sorry, Mitchell.

-Any news?
-Close.

I believe we´re very close.

Hi, Pearl.

Um, bit crazy, isn´t it?

You want to get away from here?
We´ll have a chat?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Your Honor,
the Westminster system

is underpinned by the fact
that juries

take their responsibilities
extremely seriously.

I mean, the average citizen
is perfectly capable

of putting hearsay
and personal bias aside

and paying serious attention
to the facts presented.

Your belief in the process
is commendable.

Your Honor, news feeds
and social media are awash

with damning indictments
of the accused.

Now, this is
far from normal hearsay

and only a trained legal mind,
such as Your Honor´s,

can truly ignore this bias
and consider the facts,

as you said yesterday.

Therefore, by your own argument,

you are the only person
entitled to hear this trial.

Well argued, Mr. Stirling.

But don´t ever try it again.

Yes, Your Honor.

WALKER: [ Sighs ]

I agree to the request
made by Mr. Stirling

for a judge-only trial.

Now, gentlemen, can we declare a
cease-fire and get on with this?

JANET: This must be
a difficult day for you.

I can understand why you don´t
want to be in there,

hear everything that happened.

I don´t need to.

He´s guilty.

He hit Ty.
They´ll lock him up and then...

-And then?
-There´ll be justice.

For Ty.

And what about you?

Don´t you deserve justice?

I´m all right.

It´s pretty clear what
the arrangement is with Flynn.

He´s 28 years old.
You´re underage.

You can´t legally give consent
to have --

Piss off! I can give consent
whenever I want.

Don´t act like
this isn´t my choice.

-It´s my life.
-It´s a crime, Pearl.

In six months it won´t be.

I can get public housing
on my own.

What, so sexual abuse
is the price

you´re willing to pay
for a roof over your head?

There are better options.

Yeah?
Like share houses?

You ever been in one?

Full of junkies
who just take all your shit.

Or I could go back home

to Mum getting shit-faced
and laying into me.

And Kevin.

Or I could, uh, sleep
in a gutter or a shop door.

-You think that´d be better?
-Of course not.

But there has to be
something else, yeah?

Something better than Flynn.

There´s not but.

That´s it, you see?

Anyway, I know what I´m doing.

He can help out my friend Cindi.
She´s worse off than me.

I figured out a way.
I´m making it work.

It´s my choice, not yours.

Pearl.

Hard copies
of all the surveillance

on Maxine and Eddie.

Uh, thanks,
but Wayne´s on Eddie.

Of course, but just in case

you need to cross-reference
their movements.

Okay.
Yeah, sure.

It´s what I do.

I´m thorough, meticulous,
on task 24/7 analyzing data --

which, to be effective,
requires a broad scope,

so while my focus
may appear to shift at times,

it´s only because
every piece of information

needs to be
studied exhaustively.

I wouldn´t be doing
my job properly if I didn´t.

You should probably
be explaining this to Janet.

I think it helps
if the chief investigator

also appreciates the particular
demands of an analyst.

So I can put in a good word
for you, you mean?

Oh, no.

It´s just...

I get data, look for patterns.

It´s puzzle solving
with a real-world impact,

and I think it´s a buzz --

Bonnie,
I´m kind of busy right --

-Am I getting fired?
-What?

Bonnie, you stuffed up.
We all do.

Just get over it and move on.

JANET: Put Wayne on.

WAYNE:
He´s gone into a chemist´s.

Cartwright´s, Lavender Street,
Granville.

[ Shutter clicking ]

JANET: Why go halfway
across town to a chemist?

WAYNE: They´re old friends
and he gets a discount?

Or maybe Eddie´s
supplying him with PEDs.

Unlikely. He´s a cleanskin,
according to this.

Owned by Lionel Cartwright.

Pharmacy degree,
compounding chemist of 25 years.

No priors, nothing.

WAYNE:
Eddie´s on the move.

[ Shutter clicking ]

Could be in for more action now.

He´s just arrived at Flynn´s.

[ Shutter clicking ]

So, what did the chemist
have to do with this?

We can pick up Eddie inside.

Keep a visual on him
if you can, Wayne.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ]

FLYNN: Hi.

EDDIE:
I told you to get rid of it.

FLYNN:
You know what I can get for it.

EDDIE:
I´ve got a better offer.

Technically
you stole it from me.

FLYNN:
Okay, I´ll give you a cut.

EDDIE: I need it now.
How much have you got?

FLYNN: 50 mils.

I kept one bottle, that´s all.

As soon as he´s outside,
Wayne can grab Eddie --

And risk Eddie smashing it
on the road, losing everything?

No, let it run
all the way to Zoe.

Then we can
look after it properly.

Great.
Much safer strategy.

That wasn´t meant to sound
patronizing. Honestly.

Just genuine, no offense.

BEN: Could you show the court
what you saw

when the accused
hit the victim?

It was like this,
to the side of Ty´s face.

He stumbled, fell backwards.

MITCHELL: Try to say something,
mate. Come on!

Come on, mate.
Ty?

BEN: So he was hit hard enough
to be knocked over?

Well, yeah.
I guess so.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

RICHARD:
When the victim fell,

did you hear the accused
say anything?

Yeah, he said, "Sorry, mate."

And when Ty didn´t get back up,
he said,

"I didn´t hit him that hard."

He kept saying it.

-RICHARD: Did you believe him?
-Yeah.

So it´s possible
the blow wasn´t hard enough

to make the victim fall.

Yeah, maybe.

Only...

Only what, Mr. Metcalf?

Only I just remembered
Tyler didn´t trip.

He was lunging forward
at the time,

trying to grab the phone
with the pictures.

NATE: One of them
got that drug yet?

Maxine? What´s her face?
Anyone?

Look, what if I talk to them?

The NCC.

I don´t think
it´d make a difference now.

So, what´s the plan from here?

[ Sighs ]

I think Richard´s
gonna call Nate as a witness.

What?

It´s a chance for the judge
to hear firsthand

your relationship
with the victim.

And risk us trapping him into
saying something he shouldn´t?

Why you´d never have
laid into him with full force.

I thought you said
you don´t normally do that?

Well, he´s got nothing else.

We´ve got no choice.

And I think you could
really help yourself.

LINA: And you know Richard.
Never say die.

He´ll find some angle.

He´ll try and counter
Nate´s public image.

It´ll all be about tearing down
the aggro and the thuggery

and showing
his warm, caring side.

Yeah, good luck with that.

No, this is Richard.

Whatever he´s got
will be carefully thought out.

BEN: You think
he´s still got a chance?

It´s still Nate Baldwin.

If we get him angry,
he´ll undo everything.

[ Door closes ]

MAXINE: What the fuck
do you mean, you don´t have it?

I mean it was for sale,
and now it´s been sold.

Who to?
Was it Eddie?

Fucking lying sack of shit.

It was a private sale.

Do you know you have had me
running all around town?

I have grabbed cash every way I
know how because we had a deal.

Now, tell me who the hell
has the drug now.

No.

You´re fucking dead, Mr. Pearce.

You´re dead.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Door closes ]

So according to
your expert analysis

of the deceased´s autopsy
and toxicology report,

could you explain for the court
what the cause of death was?

A subdural hematoma.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

That is, bleeding which fills
the brain area rapidly,

compressing brain tissue.

BEN: And what caused
that hematoma?

MEILI:
A serious blow to the head.

A large contusion
on the side of the face

corresponded to where
the deceased was struck.

BEN: And that was the only cause
of the bleeding?

There were some anomalies
in the reports

regarding the failure
of the deceased´s blood

to coagulate properly.

The cause of that
was not possible to determine.

Was it a contributing factor
to the death of Mr. Perati?

I couldn´t categorically
state that, no.

BEN:
Nothing further.

EDDIE: I think this might be
able to help you.

ZOE: Thanks.

Two mils daily, top thigh.

Four or five days
should do the trick.

ZOE: And there´s no chance
of it testing positive?

EDDIE: Lots of guys
were on it last year.

Passed everything.

Well, in that case,
when Greta wins a medal,

we´ll know who to thanks.

Tell the lab to be on standby.

We need this tested
as soon as possible.

We have to be sure it´s
the substance that killed Tyler.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

WALKER:
Your witness, Mr. Stirling.

That´s not a phone is it,
Mr. Stirling?

Mr. Stirling!

Uh, Your Honor, I wish to apply
for an adjournment

because my instructions
have been compromised.

Compromised in what way,
Mr. Stirling?

M-My client
has said something

that is difficult to interpret.

You mean he wishes
to change his plea?

Your Honor, I´ve received
mixed messages

and need a private audience
with my client

to confirm his instructions.

If we could adjourn
for the rest of the day --

Your Honor, my learned colleague
only needs a minute

to ask his client
what he meant.

A couple of hours
to advise my client calmly,

ensure he understands
the entirety of the situation,

is not unreasonable.

There are a lot of
gray areas in this case.

Including the hairs

you´re putting on my head,
Mr. Stirling.

You have an hour.

So I get the cash together,

I go there, and then he says
he doesn´t have it anymore.

I just don´t know what to do.

So how´s it looking
your end, Richard?

Sorry, got to go.

Oh! Shit.

Have you got it?

Still waiting
for the lab results.

If it´s not here in 20 minutes,
I put Nate on the stand.

Well, you can
stretch that out.

Go back to his childhood,
his love for the game.

You used to hate it
when the defense

resorted to sob stories
for a win.

Well, there´s an exception
for everything.

Good luck.

NATE: I met Tyler
a couple of years ago.

He´d just been spotted
in a schoolboys team,

then he got into a clinic
the Devils run

for up-and-coming players.

I gave him some tips.

I could tell how keen he was,

you know,
that hunger to make it.

Anyway, he got signed on
and, yeah, we hung out a bit.

You mentor
a lot of younger players.

What made Tyler special?

He told me he didn´t
have a dad, so I, um...

You know, I just --

I looked out for him,
gave him advice.

He never really talked about it,

but I could tell
the pressure that he was under

to make first grade

because of what that meant
for his family.

The money.

I knew they were doing it tough
and, you know,

they counted on him
to take care of them.

You´re successful, wealthy.

How could you really know
what that was like?

Well, I know that pressure.

An injury or something
can end your career in a flash,

and suddenly --
suddenly you´ve got nothing.

So you´ve got to
work your guts out

to stay
at the top of your form.

I know how much training
and sacrifice that takes.

I´ve lived it.

I saw Ty live it.

I knew exactly what he wanted,

´cause it´s what
I´ve always wanted,

and I would never, ever
have done anything

to take that away from him.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

BEN: So you had
a real connection with him?

-NATE: What?
-Well, you and Tyler.

You obviously had a common bond.

We were good mates, yeah.

I mean, it sounded
a lot more than that to me.

I´d imagine you get to know

your fellow teammates
pretty well in that locker room.

Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance.

Your Honor, I´m merely
wanting to establish

the intimate bonds
of male teammates,

which some may describe
as homoerotic.

Homo what?

The bond between
Nate Baldwin and Tyler Perati

which was clearly
on and off the field --

Hey, fuck off!

It wasn´t like that!
I´m not gay.

You can´t --
You can´t say that shit to me!

RICHARD: Objection.

This is assuming a fact
not in evidence, Your Honor.

No, look, I´m just saying
you´ve got no right

to imply something like that.

Sustained.

Thank you, Mr. Crown.

Withdrawn, Your Honor.

NATE:
I did nothing wrong.

I didn´t even
hit him that hard.

I know I didn´t.

Hey. News?

The lab´s
just e-mailed the results.

Oh, what?

JANET:
What´s happening?

H2O.

-It was water.
-What?

Eddie gave Zoe
plain old tap water.

But he thought it was
the real thing, didn´t he?

CINDI: Aren´t you gonna cop shit
for nicking this?

What if Flynn finds out
you swapped it for water?

-He won´t.
-Whoever he sells it to will.

Serves them both right.

Can you seriously get
10 grand for this?

Mate, Flynn was asking 20.

-What is it?
-Who cares?

Found someone to buy it.
That´s all that matters.

-When´s he coming?
-Soon.

And if he doesn´t turn up,
there´s plenty of other contacts

in Flynn´s phone,

and we can pay off your debt
and you´ll be sweet.

[ Both laughing ]

We could, like,
get our own place and stuff,

just you and me.

Fuck, it´d be so cool.

Hey. [ Chuckles ]
What are you doing?

It´s a $20,000 trip.

You know,
as if I´m not gonna try that.

-Don´t be stupid.
-Oh, I´d be stupid not to!

Cindi, for fuck´s sake.
No, we need that money. Stop!

Look, he won´t even notice.

[ Coughing ]

Mr. Baldwin.

The emotional impact of
your evidence was considerable.

The bond you shared
with the victim

was obviously deeply felt
and genuine.

Your role as a mentor
and father figure in his life

is without question.

However, the strength
of your relationship

cannot alter the facts

presented by the autopsy
and toxicology reports.

The large bruise
on the deceased´s body

directly corresponds
with the blow

with which you struck him,

and the size of the bruise
indicates the force behind it.

I find no other contributing
factors to his death,

other than the punch.

And so on one count
of manslaughter,

I find you guilty.

Sentencing to take place
at a date to be determined.

Please remove the prisoner.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Okay, although I don´t usually
comment on verdicts,

I am aware
of recent public concern

about decisions made by the DPP.

I have no doubt today´s outcome

will restore public confidence
in the DPP

and I would especially like to
acknowledge the team responsible

for preparing such a strong case
to present to court,

led by Ben McMahon.

Maybe it was Flynn.

Maybe he swapped
the real drug for water.

But he´s been
pissed off all day

because he thinks he´s lost
20 grand.

Did Eddie give Zoe
the wrong bottle?

Like an accident.

It was unlabeled.

After he went to so much trouble
to get it for her?

It´s unlikely.

Was Eddie onto us?
Is that possible?

Then why go through the whole
charade of giving her anything?

Why not just say no
the first time she asked for it?

He´s an arrogant bastard?

Was Eddie Cooke playing us?

And if he was, how involved
is he in the whole thing?

[ Music continues ]

[ Engine revs, tires screech ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Glass shattering ]

Does all this
link back to Eddie?

Help, somebody!
Please help!

You right?
Come on!

Help, somebody!
Help!

[ Screaming indistinctly ]

Somebody help us!

That bottle
is a critical piece of evidence

in a national investigation.

Now, if you want to
get arrested, fine, run off.

If not, just give it to me!

I could be in here for 12 years!
I can´t do it.

I´ve got to spill my guts
to the NCC.

-That´ll knock some time off.
-No, not happening.

-I´ve got to.
-You tell them nothing.

Could Maxine be the head
of the whole syndicate?

Well, that would mean she´s let
her own client go to jail

over a drug that propped up
her betting plunges.

Interesting business model.

JANET:
We´re too late.
