Woman: Ms Lawson said
that she was diagnosed

with borderline
personality disorder.

Bpd is a pervasive pattern
of instability of relationships,

image, mood.

They're already getting suss
on me asking so many questions.

Show some initiative.

Make sure the right 12 people
are there when they cast the votes.

Ripley? Zeus?

(Frustrated grunts)

We've gotta solve the
situation with the sitter.

One of the school mums has
mentioned a girl called Ava.

You know this could
cause a mistrial?

There's nothing in the jury
act about incidental contact.

Jarrod: You're a lawyer.
Try and be more bureaucratic.

Just think that the person
reading this has no heart.

This is my family.

It's Michael sleeman
from the real estate agency.

It's an amazing place.

Claire has asked the
school to find her a place

as a full-time
border in Melbourne.

No. Not Melbourne.

Claire can stay with me
on alternate weekends.

Nathan deceived me
throughout our marriage.

Kate supported and protected me.

Of course there was
tension between them.

Thank you.

Back by 6:00 on
Sunday, girls. No excuses.

Students: Yes, ms west.

Hey. You alright?

How are you?

Where's your bag?

Everything go alright
with Kate last week?

Yeah.

Listen, I don't want to
be that headache dad,

right, but I've heard

Claire's not getting back
from weekends on time,

so that's not on. Oh,
that's news to me.

I can show you the sign-ins.

No, this is not
gonna happen again.

Do you understand?

You clear on that?

Clear? Yes.

Thank you, Fiona. I'll have
her back at 6:00pm sharp.

Get off your phone,
please. What?

Get off your phone.
Dad, no, give it.

Listen, don't push your luck.

You can have it back after lunch
if you make an effort with Sonia.

Thank you.

(Whistles)

Zeus, quickly.

Come.

Here you go.

Hello, beautiful.

Won't be long.

Back soon. Back soon.

Oscar, you're not
finished your breakfast?

It's too wet now.

Thank you very much.

Do you want something else?

Want some toast?

No. No? Alright.

Ava is gonna come look
after you guys again today.

Do some school hol activities.

Yay. Yeah?

(Door bell)

That'll be her now. I'll get it.

Hello. Simon, Ava's dad.

I'm on the jury with Georgina.

Jamie, Georgina's husband.

Hi, I'm Ava. Nice to meet you.

Hi, Ava.

Ava, hi. Hi.

Ah, the kids are just
finishing their breakfast...

Cool, see you dad.
..In the living room.

Simon, hey.

Yeah, I was driving in today.

I thought I'd drop her off

and see if you
wanted a lift into court.

Oh, that's nice. Do you want
a lift in Simon's car, Georgina?

Oh, no, that's alright.

I've gotta do some
errands after, so I'll drive.

Sweet as. I'll see you in there.

Yeah, I'm leaving now too.

Sweet as.

(Techno music
plays on car radio)

(Phone message alert beeps)

(Speaks in foreign language)

Oh.

Morning.

Kids would not get
out of bed this morning.

Hey, white with
none. Oh. Thank you.

Hey, guys, Mel sent a card
to thank us for the flowers.

Oh. Nice.

She'll be so disappointed
not to be here.

That is so unfair.

Oh, well, one alternate left.

So when does your wife get here?

Oh, she's booking
her flights now.

Are you serious? Yeah.

Bra, that's awesome. Yeah.

It's such a long process.

I understand.
Waited a long time.

(Phone rings)

I'm very relieved.

Oh shit, sorry, I gotta.

Yeah, of course.

Hello?

It's Liz from the
scholarship department.

Yes, I left a message asking
about where my appeal is at.

I'm sorry, we don't have
a decision on that yet.

Yep, ok.

Thanks, I'll call again.

I reckon they're dragging it out
so I get desperate and give up.

Don't do that.

No way.

I can't just bend over and
let 'em fuck me in the arse.

Australian expressions
are so colourful.

Specific.

I'll be sure to warn my wife.

Could you please tell the court

what your relationship
was with Claire Spears?

We dated for a bit, a
couple of years ago.

How did you meet Claire?

I was working
part-time in a cafe.

One day she came up to the
counter and gave me her number.

Kicked off from there.

How long were you dating?

Like, six,
six-and-a-half months.

And who ended it?

I was moving to Brisbane

and neither of us wanted
to do long distance.

At the time Claire disappeared,
where were you living?

With my parents.

But I have my own place now.

But you are still a
university student, correct?

Yes, and I work
part-time at the casino.

So an inconsistent income, yes?

Sure, yeah.

After you moved to Brisbane,
did you keep in contact with Claire?

We sent messages.

You know, we were still,

not as if we actually
wanted to break up.

But you were not Claire's boyfriend
after you moved to Brisbane?

Let me see the
witness statement again.

No. Ok.

When was the last time that
you two spoke to each other?

The weekend before
she went missing.

And she never
contacted you again?

No.

No, after that she
was, she was gone.

Never saw her or
heard from her again.

How...

How did you find out
that she was missing?

Her mum called me

and asked if Claire
had been in touch.

Did Kate Lawson ever call you?

No, I didn't...

..I didn't get on with her.

Oh? Why is that?

She was really weird
about Claire seeing guys.

Do you know if ms Lawson

ever told Claire to
break it off with you?

She did, yeah.

Look, she wasn't a normal aunt.

She was, like, she was jealous,

as if she wanted
Claire all to herself.

Did Claire ever tell you

that she was frightened
of the accused?

Absolutely.

She said that Kate
wanted to possess her.

It creeped me out.

Thank you.

(Indistinct whispering)

Can I have a chocolate biccy?

Nice try, buddy.

Your mum said you can't
have dairy, remember?

How do we look?

Stop. So cute. So
cute. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, my gosh, love it.

All ok?

Yeah, it's great.

Ava will be fine.

She's a lot more
responsible than she looks.

Oh, no, I know, Simon,
and the kids love her.

The crown was trying to prove

that his parents would have
known if Claire was staying with him.

He's not living with
his parents anymore.

Why was she
asking about his job?

She made a real point of it.

To imply that he couldn't afford

to rent a place of his
own, or support anyone.

You get huge tips
working at casinos.

Hm?

He could definitely
afford to put her up.

After you broke up, you
stayed in touch, right?

Yeah, we messaged.

So it wasn't over?

No, it was, but
she kept texting me.

What was the date of your
last contact with Claire?

She rang me 7 September, the
weekend before she went missing.

What'd you talk about? It
wasn't exactly a conversation.

She drunk-dialled me.
She seemed pretty upset.

What was she upset about?

Just, "my family's so
fucked up." This and that.

She said she was
scared of ending up alone,

or crazy, like her mum.

Did she express any
desire to run away?

She was all over the shop.

She just kept saying that
she wanted to get away

from her family, she
was sick of her family.

She just wanted to get out.
What'd you say in response?

I mean, I was out with
mates and we were broken up,

so I said I couldn't talk.

Did she ask you to help her?

No, no, she just hung up on me.

How old are you, mr skerrett?

22.

So you were 19 when
you were dating Claire?

Yes. And she was 14.

Yes.

She was 14.

So did you think it unreasonable

that her guardian,
her protective aunt,

would object to your
dating her niece?

I suppose not.

No, because there
was an age difference,

wasn't there?

She was underage.

Did your parents know
about this relationship?

No.

Did they know that you
supplied her with alcohol?

No.

Did they know that you
supplied her with party drugs?

Objection.

Mr skerritt, you're not
required to answer that.

Now when Diane Spears told
you that Claire was missing,

did you think that
she might be dead?

No, I just thought
she'd taken off again.

Why do you say, "again?"
She'd done it before?

She'd run away?

A few times.

Mm.

Let's go back to that
final conversation

that you had with Claire.

In your witness
statement, you said,

that Claire told you, "I don't
want to be here anymore."

Is that right?

Something like that.

Something like that,
or those exact words?

Um, those words.

Those exact words.

So she was expressing
suicidal thoughts?

Ah, I wouldn't say that.

How else would you interpret "I
don't want to be here anymore?"

Just that she wanted to
get away, away from Sydney,

away from her family,
not that she wanted to die.

So why did she call
you to tell you that?

Did she want to
join you in Brisbane?

I guess that could have
been in her head, yeah.

Now you told the crown
that you no longer live

with your parents,
is that right? Yes.

When did you find
a place of your own?

About two years ago.

Oh, so pretty much just
after Claire disappeared.

Do you live on your own? Yes.

On your casual casino income?

Yeah. Yes.

Do you earn enough
to support a girlfriend?

Ah, my girlfriend
has her own job.

Oh, so you have a girlfriend?

Good for you.

Jolly good.

Is your girlfriend's
name Claire Spears?

I told you that I haven't
seen or heard from Claire

since before she disappeared.

You already told the court
how well you lied to your parents

and to Claire's family.

I'm not lying.

Thank you, mr skerritt.

No more questions, your honour.

(Indistinctive TV chatter)

What'd I miss?

That one's cool.

Thank you. Ava did that one.

You drew that?

Do you want one?

Both: Yes.

Hurry up. I want another tattoo.

Not until mine's finished.

Please?

I'll make you walk the
plank, you keep bumping me.

Not if make you walk it first.

Go away. You're ruining it.

Are you sure you
still want the skull still?

I can change it.

She wants a butterfly. I don't.

I like skulls.

Yeah, 'cause she's badass.

Ow.

What is it?

Ow, ow.

Alice, tell me what's
happening. Tell me what's wrong.

What's going on?

Hey, everything's ok.

Tell me what's
happening. Take a breath.

Look at me, sweetie.
Everything's fine.

Where does it hurt?

Can you tell us about
your responsibility

as house mistress?

Ah, as a house mistress,
I'm responsible for the roster.

We're checking that
they're in their beds at night,

and for signing them in and out of
the boarding house on weekends.

Who else is allowed to sign a
student out of the boarding house?

Anyone on their guardian
list can sign them out.

And who was on
Claire's guardian list?

Her parents, and ms Lawson.

It's ok. You're ok, you're ok.

Deep breath. Speak to
me. What's happening?

You're ok? You're
freaking me out.

Your sister always do this?

What the hell?

Fuck. They're not answering.

Yeah, they're probably not
allowed to have their phones on.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie.
Hey, look at me, look at me.

It's ok. You're ok, you're ok.

Take a breath, take
a breath. Come on.

How often did Kate Lawson

take Claire for the
weekend, mrs west?

It's Ms. sorry. Ms west.

They alternated weekends,
Kate then Nathan.

And this was with the consent
of Claire's mother, Diane?

It was my understanding that,
that arrangement came about

because the family was
having certain issues.

What issues were those?

Diane, ah, she struggled
after the divorce.

Nervous breakdown,
the school was told,

and she spent some
time in in-patient care,

and she couldn't look after Claire
and that's when Kate stepped in.

Did Claire's mother,
Diane, ever call, or text,

or visit the school very
often during the week?

Not that I'm aware of.

Did she attend school events, or
sports, concerts, speech nights?

Very rarely.

So did Kate Lawson attend those
school events in Diane's place?

All the time.

Diane told me she was
incredibly grateful to Kate

for all her help.

Would you say that
Diane was grateful enough

to do anything for her sister?

Ah, probably.

Would she lie under oath?

Objection. I
disallow the question.

What did Claire's
father say to you

about sharing weekends
with the accused?

Nathan wanted Claire
to stay at his place,

but Claire preferred
to stay with Kate.

Did Kate Lawson always
bring Claire back on time?

Well, on occasion,

Kate would tell me

she was going to let Claire
stay with her a little bit longer.

How much longer?

A day or two.

Did you ever
tell Claire's father

that the accused wanted
Claire to stay a day or two longer,

what, during the school week?

I didn't tell Nathan, no.

Were you required to? Yes.

Did any other staff at the
boarding house inform him?

They didn't know.

When that happened,
I would sign Claire in

to prevent her getting any
demerits, since it wasn't her fault.

So you falsified records
to help the accused?

It happened a few times.

But you did falsify the records?

Yes.

Did Kate Lawson
ask you to do that?

Well, she didn't demand it.

No, but did she expect it?

Signing a boarder
back in late, it's...

..It's been happening
for decades.

Did Kate Lawson also expect
you not to tell Claire's father

that Claire was
staying with her?

Not directly.

It was just...

It was just an
understanding between us.

What sort of an understanding?

She-she just...

Kate can make you do
things without asking.

She's charming.

I mean, that's just the
sort of person Kate is.

I can't believe she
signed her in like that.

What a scam artist.

Oh, they're just
naughty schoolgirls.

Ava's been calling me.

I probably would
have run off to Brisbane

if he was my ex-boyfriend too.

He's a douche.

Dating a 14-year-old. Come on.

Yeah, but all the
more reason to hide it.

I've got three missed calls.

I'll try calling her now.

You alright?

(Phone beeps)

You have one message.

Blake is a lying arsehole.

You both need to hear this.

I got this voicemail.

Strangers are leaving messages
all the time now, but this...

Blake is a lying arsehole.

Wait. Is this someone who
knows Blake, or where Claire is?

It's not someone. It's Claire.

That's Claire on the message.

Are you sure?

That is her voice.

Unfortunately, these sorts
of fake calls are common.

Disturbed people phone parents
with missing or deceased children.

Faking Claire's voice?

Your honour, whether
or not this is fake,

the defence would like
confirmation one way or another.

Alright.

My suggestion is we
adjourn for the day,

give the police time to investigate
and then reassess in the morning.

Well, the police have
the phone number

from which the
offending call was made

and they're confident

that they can resolve
this quickly, your honour.

Court will dismiss the
jury for the afternoon.

Alright, hang tight.

We'll get there just
as soon as we can.

What, what'd, what'd she say?

Only that they're in er. What?

They're just waiting to
find out. It's ok. It's ok.

Yeah?

She's called your husband.

It's ok. Shit.

Shit. We need to get there now.

The call came from a public
pay phone in queensland.

We're following up with our
colleagues in Brisbane now.

Well, it's not her. It can't be.

Don't you know your
own daughter's voice?

You're deluded, ok?

This is just some sicko.

You seem very convinced.

Do you know something more
about your daughter's death

you're not telling
us, mr Spears?

No, I don't.

Of course I wish it was true
to hear that she's run away.

I just don't believe it.

Well the timing is suspicious.

The day Blake takes the stand

and it seems to be in
reference to his testimony.

We investigated him thoroughly

but we're obliged to
follow this up either way.

Sweetheart, hey.

Is your arm ok?

I was so worried about you.

Are you ok?

Yeah? Yeah.

My arm was on fire
and I got really scared.

It really hurt, mum.

I've got you. Everything
is going to be alright.

Dad.

I got the cctv from Brisbane.

Ok, great. Bring it up.

Yeah, yeah. Right height.

Right hair colour,
although it's a bit shorter.

Qit. Qit.

That's the university
Blake goes to.

The boyfriend?

Ex-boyfriend.

Have we got
anything of her face?

No, not on this camera.

Get me all the cctv
within a 5k radius.

We need to find
out where she went.

Audio from laptop:
Ok, keep those reps up.

Really extend that hip as you
bring your opposite knee up.

Now transition to the next
move without dropping your pace.

What are you doing?

Keep going. I can't.

Just let me, just
give me a minute.

Keep breathing... You have
to keep your heart rate up.

That way, it burns
more calories.

Can I just catch
my breath, ma, ok?

What's going on with you?

Are you sick?

I'm just really noticing

for the first time how
extreme my moods are.

And I know I'm
stressed about the trial

and about this pregnancy
and co-parenting shit.

But, ma...

Are you going to say something?

What do you want me to say?

You think you're
sick? Go see a doctor.

I just need you to tell me.

Tell you what?

Have I always been like this?

Yes, you have always,
always been a drama queen.

The girl you're living with.

She got no washing machine?

Yeah, I'm just, I'm not
paying rent, so I don't want to,

I don't want to be, you know...

Mum, I need to
borrow some money.

My next jury payment
doesn't come around

until a couple of days, so...

Your father said if you
asked, the answer's no.

They keep telling me

that they're gonna sort
out my scholarship appeal,

but they just keep
messing me around on it.

True?

Then come here.

Costs you nothing
but your pride, son.

You're so obvious, ma.

Look, bub, when things
aren't working out for ya,

sometimes that's the
message you've gotta listen to.

Just saying, defer for a
year, come work with me,

figure out what you really want
and help your mum along the way.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Yeah, ok.

You're a grown up.
It's your decision.

But just because you got kicked
out of your accommodation,

doesn't mean I have to
clean your unmentionables.

Where you been, munchkin?

Mm...

I was calling you.

To mum's.

Aha.

Then you had to get
pissed to forget the trauma.

Don't tease me.

I'm sensitive.

Baby, I told her.

I asked her if she
thought I was always nuts.

Now your mum's a doctor?

No.

She's just always known me.

Most of my life.

All your life.

No.

Just most of it.

She doesn't know
the half of it, really.

And I tried to get an
appointment with the psych,

but they need a
referral from the gp.

Ok.

Hey.

Let's not fight tonight.

I'm drunk.

(Laughs)

And amorous. (Laughs)

Never mind argue.

(Moans and breaths deeply)

What the hell were
you thinking, Ava?

You know when you take on
a big responsibility like that...

I mean, other people's kids!

Dad, I feel bad enough, ok?

I don't need a
lecture right now.

What about your
boyfriend being there?

It wasn't Joe's fault.

He's such a good guy.

Yeah, well he's a guy
you're not seeing anymore.

I... Right? End of story.

Mate, I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, no, it's... It's ok.

No, no, I expect better
of her, and it was just so...

You know, bloody irresponsible.

Wait, no, it's not her fault.
Don't be so hard on her.

I mean, who was to know
that Alice had a henna allergy?

I mean...

But you know, obviously we
can't have her back to babysit.

No, no, of course.

Yeah, thanks for being
so understanding about it.

(Whispers) Guys, got
some snacks for you.

Jamie.

(Whispers) We're
not doing this now.

I'm going to take the boys home
and I'll see you in the morning.

(Whispers) Come on, guys,
get your stuff, it's time to go.

Goodnight, mum.

(Whispers) Bye boys. (Kisses)

You know this girl?

Yeah. Yeah, she's a...

She's an ex of mine.

She's a mate.

Sam: It's not her.

'Course it's not.

When I heard the
message, it felt familiar,

so I went back over
Claire's social media feed

and found the phrase in an old
video post Claire made herself,

calling Blake a liar.

The girl from the cctv

was simply replaying the
message over the phone.

Nathan: Jesus. Sam:
Blake broke up with the girl.

She obviously wasn't
too happy about it.

Jamie?

She's on the couch with an iPad.

What are you doing?

Jay, where are you going?

You are not
staying in this house

until I can find a way to keep
our children safe from you.

Oh, no, Jamie...

Come on, please.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, no.

I'm sorry. Hey, it all
just happened so fast.

Please...

I've got photographs
of Alice's arm, Georgina.

I can report you.

Why would you report... What?

I don't know what the
fuck is going on with you.

Hey... You sort
yourself out, ok?

No, Jamie, stop! Just
stop! You're a liability.

You just stop it.
Please, no Jamie, stop.

Stop it! Stop! Please stop!

Fucking... Fucking stop!

No, stop it!

Just stop it! No!

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop, you're being
a fucking psycho!

Stop! No!

Georgina! Georgina, stop.

You need to leave immediately.

(Groans)

(Breaths deeply)

I don't deserve this, Georgina.

(Cries)

Ms west, you gave evidence yesterday
that Kate Lawson was charming.

That she could get you
to do things without asking.

Yes.

Was that charm just for you,

or would she also use that charm

to get Claire to do
things for her as well?

Objection.

Madam crown knows perfectly well

that the witness cannot
answer that question.

Madam crown?

I withdraw the
question, your honour.

You told us yesterday

that Claire spent a lot
of time with the accused.

Why wouldn't she?
They were family.

So, you trusted the accused
to take care of Claire?

Of course.

Would you describe Kate
Lawson as a friend of yours?

Well, I've known Kate
for a very long time.

Bloom: Oh? (Low)
Did she disclose that?

Bloom: How long have
you known Kate Lawson?

Since she was 17.

I've worked at the school
since my first year of undergrad

and Kate was a boarder.

Bloom: Did you tell the police

that you'd known ms Lawson
since she was a teenager?

Hi, Kate.

Come in.

So, what do you think?

It's beautiful.

I didn't think it was relevant.

Farrad: Does
anyone agree it's odd

that she didn't tell the police
that she already knew Kate?

Mm, it's suss as.

Suss as?

Suss. Like suspicious as fuck.

(Chuckles)

I think she's in love with her.

The boarding mistress.

That's why she lied to the
cops about knowing Kate

and you know, she's
a frustrated lesbian.

Ok, she might be
in love with her,

but saying that she's lying
because she's a frustrated lesbian

is incredibly homophobic.

Why? How is that?

No, look, I'm not saying
that it's wrong, ok?

I'm just saying it's
why she's lying...

Why she's lying.

What, because she's
a tragic, broken queer?

Alright, calm down mate.
We're all on the same team here.

I'm not your mate.

And you can get fucked.

Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,

court has been
adjourned for the day.

I was thinking of
getting a drink tonight.

Do you wanna come?

How about a drink at my place?

I'd love that. Have
you had any offers?

A few.

It's kind of been a bit
confusing, to be honest.

Hey, are you ok?

Yeah...

I think I'm gonna have to tell
them that I'm quitting the jury.

Why?

I'm useless, garry.

I can't get anything right.

Georgina.

Is Alice ok?

Yeah. Yeah, she's going fine.

Thank you.

Ok, I just wanted to
check how she was doing.

Your husband was so
good about everything.

We both know that it wasn't...

It wasn't Ava's fault.

Yep.

Ok, well see you guys tomorrow.

Goodnight.

What happened?

(Anxiously) Alice ended up
in the hospital in the er, and...

Oh, it's a long story.

Jamie's angry and
he's punishing me.

He's kicked me out of the house.

Well, just because Alice got
hurt doesn't mean you're useless.

I'm an unfit mother,

and apparently, the only thing
I'm good at is giving blow jobs.

I'm sorry. I...

I really shouldn't have... Sure.

(Sighs)

Where're you staying?

(Sniffles)

I'm just gonna stay in a hotel.

You could do that, but
why waste the money?

You should've stayed
at mine, you know.

Gotta be back here in the
morning. It's only one night.

I'll drive your car.

You look like shit.

So, this is the, I guess
formal living room.

(Sighs) 9.5?

You're kidding? They are
seriously undervaluing you.

It's worth at least,
I don't know, 12?

Do you think it has something
to do with the double murder

in the family room?

I'm sorry.

Sorry, we don't
have to talk about it.

No, i'm...

I'm sorry.

I knocked back an offer,

although it's not
really about the money.

So, you don't
really need to sell.

Financially, no. I...

I'm just feeling a bit stuck.

Who's karishma?

Who do you think?

Karishma became Carrie,
Carrie became corrie,

and I just chose the
path of least offence.

That sucks. I'm sorry.

Well, if it makes
you feel any better,

flip's real name is filipos.

Shall we look upstairs?

Where are the pups?

Oh, they're with a friend in...

..Berrima.

You know, give them a break

from the big smoke
every now and again.

They're on his property. Ah.

Ok.

Oh, bedroom's through here,

sheets are clean
and I'll take the couch.

Oh no, no, I'm totally
happy to sleep on the couch.

Oh, no, the couch is way more
comfortable than the bed is.

You're getting the
raw end of the deal.

Ok.

Ok, thank you.

Takeaway?

Or spag bol from ten days ago?

Takeaway.

Yeah, takeaway's good.

Definitely 12 million.

Oh.

This is where I found them dead.

You know, all I
remember is the birds.

I was sneaking in really
early in the morning and I...

(Birds chirping)

..Remember how
loud the birds were.

Hoping they would cover me.

And I walked
through those doors...

..And saw them lying here.

It was so surreal, like...

Like I was really fucked up
and I was imagining things.

But it was real.

And every time I looked,

they were still there...

..Lying in a pool
of their own blood.

Just totally dead.

This house is all I
have left of them.

Too much.

No.

Is it that girl that
you're seeing? Carla?

What? No.

No, she's just
someone from work.

Don't lie to me,
Alexi. Not here.

We had an illegal
labourer on site.

His name was luiz alves.

He...

He fell.

Instead of calling an ambulance,

me and my brother
took him to a bus stop

so we wouldn't get shut down.

He died a few hours
later. I think we killed him.

Carla's his wife.

I'm sorry about your parents.

Ms west, did you
ever witness a fight

between Claire and her father?

I saw him be irritable with her.

He has a bit of a short
fuse with teenage behaviour.

She ran away from
his place one weekend.

How did you know
that she'd run away?

Nathan picked her up on Friday

and Kate dropped her back on
the Sunday and that was unusual.

Claire!

I thought she was at Nathan's.
Oh, a slightly dramatic weekend.

Nothing to worry about. Oh.

I wondered.

Yeah, I should
have called, sorry.

She's been impossible.

She doesn't know
how lucky she is,

flitting around to
openings and galleries

with her glamorous aunt. Oh!

I love that top on you, fi.

Really?

I wasn't sure if
it was a bit busy.

No, I like it. It's
really sunny.

Wanna be my guest at dinner?

Sunday's still lasagne night.

I swore off that dining
hall when I was 17.

I'm sorry.

I'm surprised you
can still stomach it.

(Laughs)

Are we still ok
to do the sign-in?

Yeah. Kate: Thank you. Bye.

Lights out.

I'm guessing it's
not boy trouble.

No, boys my age are morons.

What happened to this weekend?

That weekend Nathan
had announced to Claire

that Sonia and he
were having a baby.

There was a big fight about it.

Claire felt embarrassed
and upset, not...

Not happy.

Did Claire tell you that Nathan
had been physically aggressive

towards her during this fight?

She used the words,
"he lost his shit,"

and I don't know how.

But the fight was so extreme

that she felt she had to run
away and go to her aunt's?

Yes.

But then she was angry at
Kate, too, when she came back.

Why was she angry at Kate?

I...

I don't know why I said that.

Is it possible that she
was angry with her aunt

because she wouldn't take her
side against her father and his wife?

Claire was upset
with her whole family.

But why ms Lawson specifically?

I'll remind you you're
under oath, ms west.

Claire was upset because
she'd found something out.

A secret.

A secret?

The pregnancy?

Claire...

Claire told me her father
was having an affair.

Who was he
having an affair with?

Kate.

(Indistinct whispering)

It's true.

A long time ago.

When Nathan and
Diane were still married.

And a few times since.

Kate, this is... Why
didn't you tell us?

I couldn't tell you.

I couldn't do that to Diane.

Where is she?

Please, I need to see her. You
know what this means for us?

The crown are going to have
to recall Nathan as a witness.

Nathan? Nathan's not
going to admit to anything.

Sonia doesn't even know.

Is Diane ok?

What happens now, in there?

I don't imagine the
jury will look on you

having an affair with your
sister's husband favourably.

Fuck.

You need to find a way
for me to see my sister.

Please!

I couldn't tell her anything.

It would destroy her completely.

Well, she knows now.

If you'd been straight with
us, if you'd been honest with us,

we could have come
out of the gate with this

and spun it in your favour.

How did Claire
find out about this?

(Shouts) Nathan told her!

Claire, she saw something,
I don't know what,

and that night that Nathan
dragged her into the car,

she confronted
him about it and...

..He confessed.

He's an idiot.

She threatened to tell Sonia.

Kate, you need to get this.

That could have been
motive for Nathan to kill Claire.

Claire ran away.

Newsreader: Today in the
Claire Spears' murder trial,

a secret affair between
Kate Lawson and Nathan...

Look, it's not true.

She has no reason to lie.

I don't...

I don't know why she would
say something like that.

I... I don't know.

But it's not true, ok?

It's...

Let me ask you something.

Was this to manipulate me...

..So you can show those photos?

Did it work?

What the fuck am I doing?

Kate: Nathan.

What?

Give it here.

(Laughs)

(Door closes)

(Engine revving)

(Dramatic music builds)
