Original subtitles

Oh, Lina, this is Miriam Mansie, the AG's director general.

Just between us, the AG is a total prick,

but what you and that memo have done

is destroy any chance of him ever going to trial in this country.

You want to fight for victims,

protect people who can't protect themselves?

The Erin I know can do that.

But that Erin, she's slipping away and you're letting her go.

OK, you go out drinking with him, you spend every minute with him.

You didn't make me banana bread!

You hate bananas!

I know he's in MENSA or some shit but...

Baby, will you stop? He's gay.

Lisa.

How was court? I won.

So how do you normally celebrate? Muffin? Friand?

Actually, I was thinking I might...

kiss you.

So, what do you think?

You've thought of everything.

We love you, man.

Can we just stop, OK? Why?

Because I'm not gay and I can't keep pretending to Conrad that I am.

It's not fair on him. He's been so nice to me, and the longer I keep...

Ow! Don't you dare.

Conrad is the sweetest, hottest guy that anyone could ever meet

but he is also very, very jealous.

Yeah, but I'm lying to him.

And you're not the only one, are you?

What the fuck are you doing? Get off him!

Somebody help!

You should be making the most of it, sleeping in and watching movies.

I'd rather watch you.

Hey, can't you have a sickie today?

No.

Do you want to go back to the car for a minute?

I can't.

No, really. I promise I'll be, like, really quick.

I believe the expression is �Get a room.�

See you tonight. See ya.

He has the day off. Doesn't know what to do with himself.

What a waste. Perhaps he and I could organise a job swap.

Trust me, you don't want Conrad running the DPP.

David, have you seen this?

Yes, yes. It was bound to happen with Quinn out of the way.

The quotes aren't even the attorney-general.

It's all Miriam Mansie.

Well, the master may change, the Rottweiler remains the same.

Have you heard from her? No.

I'm sure she'll let me sweat for a while.

Then she'll slip the leash when she's ready.

Hope you've got your flak jackets.

Apparently, Miriam Mansie's got us 'under fire'.

Is it just me or is she sexually frustrated?

No, it's just you.

No, I'm pretty sure she's gagging for it.

Miriam Mansie is a deplorable sycophant and a tennis cheat.

It seems the only way to get ahead in this world

is to have friends in high places,

which brings me to this.

Apparently you need something more straightforward.

Hopefully this one won't offend your delicate constitution.

Ben, yours is in my office.

Don't I get the special delivery?

You may need a trolley. Oh, that sounds ominous.

Well, open it. Who told her I wasn't coping?

She didn't say that. Yes, she did.

Robbery. Multiple ATM theft. No victims. Hmm, a proper contest.

You know, this will be good for you. You better get stuck into it.

Erin'?

Whatever it is, I need to be seated.

My spine is at war with the rest of my body.

Did you tell Tracey I'm not coping?

Sorry?

I appreciate you looking out for me,

but when it comes to the work, I don't want to be treated any differently.

Erin, I don't know what you're talking about.

You told Tracey to avoid giving me anything too challenging.

No, I didn't.

I don't need you to do me any favours, Janet, OK?

Oh, Erin. Did Tracey give you that ATM robbery?

I know it's short notice, but group four needed to palm some things off.

I thought you might appreciate

something more straightforward after Mervich.

Let me know if you have any dramas, alright?

Good.

I'll accept your apology in the form of a herbal tea.

Oh, deja vu.

You were in here before making tea.

Your powers of observation are astounding.

Natch.

So are mine. I've been watching you.

Nothing to hide.

All this talk about Miriam Mansie and sexual frustration.

You just have to look at her face.

You've been making sexual cracks all week. Are you missing Julie?

Julie who?

Oh, come on.

Oh, what? Are you counselling me now, are you?

It's called being a friend.

No, it's called making shit up when there is no shit.

You're such a boy. As you'd know from experience.

Sorry I ever mentioned it.

So, what case are you avoiding

by making your tenth cup of tea for the day?

Avoidance is your trick, not mine, and the tea is for Janet.

Suck.

My defendant is a guy who singlehandedly

removed six ATMs from brick walls and made off with masses of cash.

I'm hoping to borrow his truck

so I can drive it through your office... when you're in it.

Oh.

You see, the secret is in the fruit-to-muffin ratio.

Two hours. What?

One hour between dropping the kids off and starting work

and the other hour for lunch,

and you want to spend our precious time talking about muffins?

What do you want to talk about?

Us. 'Us' is good. What about us?

I like you, Richard. I like you too.

And I choose my men very carefully, just so you know.

Well, I consider myself fortunate,

having made it through your screening process.

Don't get too confident. You haven't been fully screened yet.

Well, I just want you to know that I'm totally fine

with whatever processes you may deem necessary.

However vigorous? Bring it on.

Sorry, did I just say �Bring it on�? Yeah.

Right. I just totally blew it, didn't I? Great.

Well, what are you doing lunchtime tomorrow?

Um, having lunch.

Why don't we go back to yours?

For lunch?

No, Richard, not for lunch.

Right. You know, I don't think that my place is such a good idea.

My flatmates...

What about them? It's just a bit tricky.

Richard, do you want to pass the screening process or not?

Yes, of course I do.

Well, then give me your address.

Hey, Romeo, Finch Grinch is looking for you.

OK. I'll just... I'll be a minute.

Um, let's work this out later on.

I'll be waiting.

'Bye. 'Bye.

So that's Lisa? Yep.

Well, take my advice. Don't get sucked in.

Might be a little late for that.

Is there something wrong with me?

I get given a nice straightforward ATM ram raid -

no dead children, no polo-neck jumpers -

and I can't accept it for what it is.

I have to start picking at it, make it complicated.

Well, what's complicated?

Maybe it's just me, but there's things here that don't add up.

The defendant left DNA evidence at the scene.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

They're flying a DNA expert in from New Zealand.

A professor. So?

He was also called to the scene the morning after the robbery

as an independent analyst.

So? From New Zealand?

The defence can fly in experts from the moon.

It isn't going to change the fact that he's guilty.

The police also lost vital evidence from a previous robbery

that probably would have put this guy away months ago.

A security camera tape just disappeared.

Well, evidence does get misplaced occasionally.

You think I'm making a big deal out of nothing?

Probably, but it pays to be sure.

Now you're just humouring me.

80-year-old Vietnamese male. Nine counts of shoplifting.

I bet that's sexier than anything you've got.

This, brother, is Tracey's revenge. 23 counts of vandalism.

23 defendants. Sucked in.

Yeah, parking meter vigilantes took superglue to 23 new meters,

rendering them completely rooted.

What? Is it a gang of pensioners?

Well, yes, it is a gang. The new meters are outside of a sports hall.

All the defendants are gymnasts,

most of whom are women aged between 18 and 25, feisty and bendy.

Might require some very thorough interviews.

Tracey fill you in?

If by 'fill me in'

you mean tossing a file in my general direction, yeah.

I put in a good word for you. Oh, thanks.

Poor bloke deserves a soft-cock prosecutor.

Oh, that's a compliment, by the way.

Fled Vietnam in 1974. Found his way here on a fishing boat.

Dementia's giving him flashbacks

so he think he's got to shoplift to feed his dead kids.

I know. We shouldn't be wasting our time.

But the complainants fired off letters

to every government department in the phone book, rattled some cages.

If it was up to them, they'd be sticking him behind razor wire.

You know, I'm not a... I'm not a soft-cock.

We've been tracking Silvani for some time.

We got a tip-off he was involved in a series of robberies,

but no hard evidence.

All ATM raids?

Oh, just smaller stuff initially.

He only graduated to ram raids in January.

You were the arresting officer after that initial ram raid in Parramatta.

You got your evidence. We did.

So, what happened to the CCTV footage?

I don't know. It was viewed, it was logged, and then it went missing.

And that's it?

Unfortunately.

Was there an internal investigation?

There was. And?

And it's still missing.

You must have been disappointed.

Fucked off, actually.

Do you think someone lost it deliberately?

That's not for me to speculate. Off the record?

Nothing's ever really off the record.

Why would someone in the police force be trying to protect him?

You tell me.

I was supposed to be running a straightforward robbery.

Well, with the evidence we have I'm afraid that's exactly what it is.

Oh, it doesn't look like this in Legal Aid!

Can I get you a coffee or something?

Oh, no, thanks. I'm cool.

Damn. Sorry. No, it's OK. I can...

Sure you don't want a water? Yeah, maybe.

It is a bit hot in here.

Thanks for seeing me so quickly.

This is my first case.

Um, I want to get one of those fancy folders.

You know, the plastic ones that you can tie up.

But the Legal Aid stationery cupboard is prehistoric.

I'm, like, �Do you guys have anything that's not from 1983?�

So you wanted to talk about Mr Han?

Han Solo, as I like to call him. Not that he gets it.

He's never seen 'Star Wars'. Can you believe that?

Mmm.

Now, according to my information

your defence is that Mr Han is suffering from dementia.

That's correct.

Hey, maybe he has seen 'Star Wars'!

Huh. Yeah.

I just thought if I piled it all on,

you know, the refugee thing, his struggle, the dead kids,

you know, the magistrate would just let him go.

Yeah, it's probably best not to rely on theatrics.

Right. Sure.

So if you were me, how would you be running it?

Here's that case summary for the staff newsletter.

I need the copy by the end of the day.

I'm a bit busy at the moment.

We're all busy, Richard.

I do hope you're not doing someone else's job for them.

What was that? The devil incarnate.

Hey, Tatum, could I get a hand

cross-checking some defendants' priors?

Who are the defendants?

Gymnast-turned-vigilantes.

I prefer the term 'civil disobedience'.

Really?

It has a long history

as a way to highlight social and political causes.

Mind you, Gandhi preferred the term 'civil resistance'

for his own brand of non-violent protest.

Guess we all go through that phase sooner or later.

Glad I got mine out of the way early.

You? Civil disobedience? What happened?

A gang of private school boys get pissed off

at the canteen's lukewarm chai lattes?

Actually, we were protesting a high-rise development

near our school oval.

How were we supposed to play cricket with bogans hanging off their balconies,

screaming abuse at you?

Wow, you've really been carrying this.

Oh, since when did you stand up for something you believed in?

When I was 16 I was in a riot. What?!

I threw a punch and everything. Dad grounded me for a month.

I bet you Gandhi never threw a punch.

Gandhi never had his hair pulled.

Anyway, I'd love to help but I'm in the middle of some appeal documents.

I'll pay you.

You might be able to buy Richard but it doesn't work on me.

Fine, I'll owe you a menial task of your choosing.

Just don't make me riot.

One hour. That's it. Yes. Thank you.

You can do the blokes.

Hey, are you done yet?

We have a rule, babe. Calls are returned within 15 minutes.

It's not like you have anything else to do today. Just call me back.

I need those records.

I only got through the first five.

We had a deal.

I'm busy. You do it. Kinda got my hands full.

Ringleader of the parking meter vigilantes

and award-winning gymnast.

Decided to represent herself -

and less than a week after I'm back on the market.

Maybe there is a god.

I know there's been a lot of stink around this one -

you know, government pressure and all that.

What I asked you before, that was just, you know, man to man.

Yeah, yeah. No, it's fine. Yeah.

Look, I certainly wouldn't object if you were to suggest

that under section 6A of the Mental Health Act

that it's preferable that Mr Han is treated within the community

rather than in custody.

You wouldn't? No.

But I thought you guys were getting pressure to lock him up?

We're under pressure to see that justice is done,

and if you were to suggest a diversion program

rather than a custodial sentence or a fine

I think that would be acceptable too.

A diversion program?

So I think what we will be pursuing is a custodial sentence.

Um... No, no.

It's fine. Just Tracey. She's gone now.

So a letter of apology to the shop owners,

regular counselling, psychological treatment,

and the guarantee of a stable and supportive home environment

are all much more beneficial than a custodial sentence.

Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Glad we're on the same page.

I don't have a criminal record.

I'm no danger to anyone. I just got carried away.

And do you get... 'carried away' very often?

Only when wanker councils try to bleed money

out of people who can't afford it.

We're students, not lawyers.

We tried to reason with them,

even organised a petition, supported by 500 local residents.

And when that didn't work you superglued the meters.

Why should we have to pay to park outside our own sports centre?

It's ridiculous.

Well, why should you be exempt?

Are you really going to waste public money on this?

Well, it's not really my decision.

Are you even going to look at the petition?

I'm afraid this...

This doesn't excuse the of fence.

But 500 signatures, though. That's impressive.

And now you're patronising me.

Admiring.

Fine. Guess I'll see you in court.

Well, I'll look forward to that.

So the bathroom's just through here.

Oh, thanks.

Who was that?

Legal aid junior. Drank an entire bottle of water in 15 minutes.

And I thought I was anxious under pressure.

You are.

You haven't heard from Conrad, have you?

Why would I hear from Conrad?

I don't know.

He hasn't returned any of my calls all day.

He's probably sleeping or at the gym or masturbating.

He doesn't need to masturbate.

He's mad about something. I can tell.

You haven't even spoken to him. No.

He never returns my calls if he's pissed off about something.

You should cook tonight - the pasta he likes with chorizo.

Why do I have to cheer him up?

Apparently gay men are good cooks.

OK. Um, we need to talk about something.

Me and Lisa...

There might be something, you know, in it.

I might want to have her over occasionally - you know, in my room.

Don't be ridiculous. Um, actually, that's completely normal.

It's this whole gay thing that's ridiculous.

And how are you going to explain that to Conrad?

I'll just tell him I've found women.

He's not stupid. He'll know we lied.

Or we could tell him the truth.

OK, so we just keep lying?

Gay at home, Richard. End of story.

- You off? - Yeah.

I thought I might go hunt some talent, make up for lost time.

You up for a drink?

I don't want to cramp your style, and I'm sure the women of Sydney

would prefer to have you all to themselves.

Well, you can't blame them.

See ya. See ya.

I'm off. You want a ride?

I knew it. This case is dodgy as.

Who says? The arresting detective.

Actually, it's more what he didn't say.

Any evidence? It's all speculative.

Well, then you treat it as a straightforward robbery.

Run it. Win it. That's all you can do.

Oh, I'm such a cow.

I've been so wrapped up in my own stuff I haven't even asked about Andy.

Is he sleeping yet? Not really.

He said he dozed off a bit this afternoon, so that's something.

He's still seeing the counsellor.

Let it go, Erin.

Save me some dinner? Ha! If you're lucky.

See ya.

Food alright?

Yeah, it's great. Thanks, Richard.

Babe, what do you think?

I think you've both been bullshitting me.

What are you talking about?

Why would a gay man have straight porn in his room?

Well?

Was it for a case or something?

Yeah, a defendant did some porn shoots.

I had to track down the DVDs as evidence.

What are they doing in your bedroom?

I don't know. I must have got them mixed up with some other discs.

See, babe? It's nothing to freak out over.

I can't believe you were shitty all day about this.

He thought you were straight.

How funny's that? Hilarious.

So, who wants some dessert?

Thanks for dinner.

No worries.

I just feel like such a prick.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Have we missed something?

Check this out.

The tabloids are as subtle as ever.

Oh, it's just rhetoric. The AG's got to be seen to be proactive.

David could do with a bit of airbrushing.

I have to get to court.

Me too.

Oh, I bought you a present to get you in the mood.

Thanks. I'll wear it for my closing address.

I hope you're not making light of armed robberies.

No, of course not.

I think we have enough on our plates

without appearing insensitive towards violent crime victims.

Oh, no. The ATMs are fine, actually. They're in counselling.

Here.

We need a secret signal.

What for? You know, if you need some help.

I'll get this community service order out of the way,

then I'll stick my head in.

I need to do this myself to prove that I can handle it.

Oh, here she is, the black swan.

Didn't she defend the Ripley Street shooters?

Yeah, and the rest. She's on a 15-case winning streak.

I want her dress. I want her career.

She gets all the hardcore criminal cases and wins them.

Janet's not a fan.

She must be defending the Palooka murders.

God, I would not want to be on that jury.

Say goodbye to the best part of a year.

I really want those shoes.

Rumour has it there's retractable spikes in the heels.

Grant Mitchell? Yes?

Erin O'Shaughnessy for the DPP. You're acting for the defence?

I was. There's been a last-minute change. I'm now instructing.

About that secret signal...

Erin O'Shaughnessy.

Claudia Swann. I know.

I have to sort out that community service order.

Just remember, stay focused. Don't overcomplicate.

If in doubt, go back to first principles.

First principles. Right.

Is court always that terrifying? You'll get used to it.

I hope you don't get too much flak.

I know the complainant wanted him hung, drawn and quartered.

I think I'll be able to live with the guilt.

You did a really good sell on that diversion program.

Using your words.

It's your first contest and you won. Just enjoy it.

Yeah. No, I guess I did.

A couple more victories like that

and I'll be a hot-shot lawyer like you.

Oh.

Oh, sorry. Thank God you had a spare.

Actually, why do you have a spare?

It's a reminder. �Never get too confident.�

Right. Ta.

Maybe we can get a drink sometime.

I have cases I'd love to get your opinion on.

Or dinner even. My shout.

He's taken.

You never texted your address. So here I am.

Right. Yes.

Are you ready for your final examination?

You studying something? Um...

Actually, I really should be getting back to work.

Oh, come on. Didn't you ever wag school for an hour or two?

Oh! No, you didn't. My parents would've killed me.

Tracey's gonna go mental if she finds out.

Who's Tracey? Oh, the devil incarnate.

Scott, I think we're done. Can I grab your number, though?

Give me your phone.

Awesome. I'll be calling.

'Bye.

Mmm. Who was that?

Just a solicitor.

So can we go now?

We'll have to be quick.

Bring it on.

Well, this is it.

Now, if you don't mind I just need to tidy my room.

Oh, we might not get to your room.

OK.

Oh!

Sorry.

Stupid rug.

Sorry. Hang on. That will be work.

And you are on a lunch break.

Relax. I am. I am.

Ow! I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. That was...

Let's try that again.

But what if that was an emergency? Oh, shut up.

Detective Bryant, could you tell the court

why you believed Mr Silvani was involved in that first ATM robbery

at the Parramatta Shopping Centre?

We were able to obtain CCTV footage of the incident.

And were you able to identify Mr Silvani from that footage?

The three men were wearing balaclavas,

but the driver of the vehicle

matched Mr Silvani's approximate height and weight

and walked with a limp on his left leg.

Why was the limp relevant?

Mr Silvani also limps on his left leg -

the result of a stroke four years earlier, Your Honour.

I've tendered the medical records.

Exhibit P2, Your Honour.

And do we have the CCTV footage?

Um... no, Your Honour.

It appears the footage went missing from the police station

shortly after it was obtained.

Is this correct, Detective Bryant? Yes, Your Honour.

The, uh, DVD was mislaid in our internal filing system.

Detective Bryant did view the footage on several occasions, Your Honour.

Still, I sincerely hope that the Crown's case

does not pivot on the missing piece of evidence.

No, Your Honour. I was just getting to that.

Before Christmas, Madam Crown. I have a holiday booked.

Detective, could you explain what happened next?

A second ATM was removed with the same MO three weeks later -

same time of night, same cutting tools,

similar type of stolen vehicle.

Were you able to obtain any evidence from the scene?

Yes, we were. And what was that evidence?

A blood sample that matched Mr Silvani's profile.

He had a fresh cut to his left forearm at the time of his arrest

and we believe this injury was sustained during the theft.

Your Honour, photographs of this injury are tendered as exhibit P3.

Thank you, Detective.

Your witness, Ms Swann.

No questions, Your Honour. Thank you.

Miriam's still on radio silence? Not for too much longer.

I've licked a few quotes of my own for tomorrow's newspapers.

It should bring on a little indigestion over her eggs Benedict.

Ohh! These are the telephone intercepts for the Macrae piracy case.

I need you to log them by month,

highlight every call to these two mobile numbers.

All of them?

There's more on my desk. I can't do heavy lifting.

When do you need them by? Yesterday. Thanks, Tatum.

I'm calling in the IOU.

What is it?

Telephone intercepts. No way.

The font size on those things can make you blind.

Anyway, I've got a mediation session with the hot gymnast.

Again?! Yeah, I know.

It must be my animal magnetism.

I thought I was seeing you in court.

Maybe we don't have to go that far.

My friend Tanya reckons you guys can do deals.

I'd like to do a deal. What kind of deal?

I just want you to be... sensible about this.

Well, like I said, the council wanna see you punished.

And what about you?

Do you want to see me punished?

Very much so.

If you want to play dirty, that's fine.

I can give as good as I get.

Is that right?

So what kind of punishment should I expect?

Well, I may be seeking a custodial sentence.

I'd like to see you restrained.

You're a hard negotiator.

Yes, I am.

Ahh.

Professor Kirkaldie, could you give the court

a precis of your career, please?

I became a doctor of medicine in 1988,

then moved into forensic pathology in 1991,

so I've been a forensic pathologist for 20 years.

Which makes you something of an expert in your field?

I like to think so.

Now, I realise that you have flown in from New Zealand

to be with us today,

but are you familiar with the Lewisham Gardens crime scene?

Yes, I attended the scene as an independent pathologist

the morning after the robbery.

Now, I'd like your opinion on the blood sample that was found there -

the blood that the police pathologists

allege was deposited at 3:00am on the morning of February the 2nd

when the ATM was forcibly removed

from the shopping centre's outer wall.

Would you concur with that supposition?

No, I would not.

I would argue that the blood deposit was significantly older.

And that opinion is based on what?

2O years of experience in analysing and dating blood spatter.

Can you tell the court when the blood in question

was left at the scene?

Well, past a certain point,

it's impossible to give a 100% accurate estimate,

but the sample was at least several days old.

Professor, we shall shortly hear from the defendant

who will tell us that he was at Lewisham Gardens five days earlier.

We will present an ATM receipt

which places him at the scene on January the 27th.

We shall also present evidence

from medical records kindly tendered by the Crown

that Mr Silvani was suffering from frequent blood noses at the time -

a result of his high blood pressure condition.

Is there a question coming, Ms Swann?

Professor, in your professional opinion,

is it more likely that the blood sample

was deposited on the footpath at Lewisham Gardens

on January the 27th or February the 2nd?

January 27th.

So there's absolutely no doubt in your mind

that the blood was present at the scene long before the robbery?

No doubt whatsoever. Thank you, Professor.

Your Honour, there's your reasonable doubt.

Are you thinking about work?

Well, I wasn't, but I am now.

You need a distraction.

Oh, I could get used to this,

ducking back here for an hour, no work, no kids.

I think we've been longer than an hour.

I feel so naughty.

Good, isn't it?

That's a girl!

Um, you're supposed to be at work.

That's a girl! Yes, it is.

Lisa, this is... This is Conrad. Conrad, Lisa.

Did he mention he's supposed to be gay?

What?!

You're a fucking liar. No, no. Yes.

I mean, look, this is nothing.

I beg your pardon! No, I don't mean you're nothing.

Oh, no. I think I know what you mean.

Oh... Pack your bags and get the fuck out!

What the fuck, Richard?

I'm sorry. I can explain.

No wonder you've been so cagey! Look, I wasn't lying to you.

I had to practically drag you into bed

and this whole time you've been thinking about guys!

What? No, no! Oh, my God!

You gave that solicitor your phone number!

L...I'm not gay! And I'm not a bloody counsellor.

Lisa, wait!

You're a lying little bastard.

Lisa!

Hey, babe. Um, listen. I'm gonna be a bit late tonight.

I need you to come home right now. What? Why?

It's important. Well, I'm really busy.

Just... I need to tell you something, OK?

Tell me on the phone. Just get home.

Conrad... Conrad?

So, Professor, let me just clarify -

you are claiming that the police forensics team

simply got this wrong?

Yes, I am.

Despite the fact that every year

they deal with hundreds of similar cases,

using their expert knowledge and the very latest technology?

The law of averages says they'll get several of those cases wrong.

This is one of them.

Forensics is theirjob, Professor.

It's my job too.

The difference being they weren't flown from New Zealand to be here.

Objection!

Your Honour, I feel it's important

to clarify impartiality with this witness.

Well, frankly, for someone with such experience,

that's incredibly offensive.

Just get to the point, Madam Crown.

How much are you charging for this appearance?

Sorry? Five grand? Or more?

Objection. Irrelevant.

Your Honour, this is highly relevant.

It better be. Move on.

How does a man on the dole afford someone like you?

Maybe he saved up. Madam Crown!

Or maybe his defence is being subsidised by someone else.

Objection.

I don't care who pays the bill, as long as it gets paid.

So, who did pay the bill? Your Honour, really.

Madam Crown, I fail to see the relevance of this.

I've nothing to hide. My invoice is here, if you want to see it.

Your Honour, I think it's important to establish

the facts of the professor's employment.

It's utterly irrelevant. Not if he's a hired gun...

I object most strongly, Your Honour.

I agree.

You will move to another line of questioning immediately, Madam Crown.

You can do so after a 10-minute recess.

We need to call this in. You need to stay calm.

We're under strict instructions.

Alright, what's the big emergency?

Has someone died?

Richard's moving out.

He had sex with a girl.

Oh, hi.

You don't seem too surprised.

Fucking say something! It was my fault. I asked him to lie.

I did it for you because you were jealous.

I knew if you just got to know him...

It was a dumb idea that went too far. We're really sorry.

I thought we were mates.

The whole time, you were laughing at me with my girlfriend.

I was not! Oh, babe, calm down.

Shut up. Don't speak to her like that!

Don't tell me what to do in my own flat.

It is not your flat. it's mine. And he is not moving out.

Hey! Hey, Conrad...

You don't wanna come anywhere near me right now, Richard.

This is stupid! Richard, go back to your room. I'll calm him down.

Like I'm some dumb-arse kid? No, that's not what I meant.

Get rid of me so you two can sit down and intellectualise?

Just calm down! Fuck off, Richard!

Do not talk to him like that!

Why are you so protective of him, huh?

There something going on with you and this tosser?

I was never fucking good enough, was I?

Oh, no! You're an idiot.

And there it is. Conrad, just back off.

Hey! Oh!

You're a prick!

Oh, let me see.

All rise.

Are you ready, Madam Crown?

Do you have any further questions for the witness?

Yes, I do.

Excuse me, Your Honour, but I have fresh instructions from my client.

My client would like to plead guilty to the charge of robbery.

Mr Silvani?

Do you have something to add?

We have discussed this in full, Your Honour,

and he's decided it's for the best.

If that's your wish, very well.

We'll proceed with the plea tomorrow.

This court is adjourned till 10:00am.

Can you tell? I told you, no-one will notice.

I should've gone to emergency.

We were complete arseholes. You do realise that?

Yeah, I think I got that message.

Where have you two been? Lunch.

This isn't a holiday camp.

You can't just swan in and out whenever you feel like it.

Aren't we allowed to eat? Not for two hours.

I'm so stupid sometimes.

Don't worry about her. I'm not.

What do we do now?

Tatum, how are those Tls? About halfway through.

I need them by morning, yeah? Sure.

Everything OK? Mm-hm.

Peachy.

You should put some ice on that nose.

Hi. You've called Lisa. Wait for the beep.

Hi, Lisa. it's... it's me - Richard.

Um, I'm so sorry.

I know I've been such an idiot,

but there's actually a good explanation and...

if you want to hear it then just call me back.

Or even if you don't want to hear it, just please call me back.

OK.

So how'd you go?

Um, what with? Refugee shoplifter.

Uh, suggested a diversion program.

Good karma.

Apparently not.

15-case winning streak and then she meets me.

It's the taming of the Swann.

You don't think there was anything strange about that?

Well, I guess at the end of the day we had the evidence

no matter who they wheeled in to contest it.

Silvani didn't change his plea.

That guy in the suit and Claudia Swann -

they were making the decisions.

What guy in the suit? In the gallery!

All that eye work with Silvani...

While you were focusing on the witnesses

there was all this other stuff happening behind you.

What other stuff?

Well, it was like Silvani was looking to this guy for direction

and when they changed the plea, he was pissed off.

Of course he was. He knows he's going to jail.

Nah, this was different.

It was like... he had no part in the decision.

They worked so hard to get him off.

Why would they suddenly just change their mind?

Erin? I'll see you later.

Mr Silvani, I'm Erin O'Shaughnessy, DPP.

What the hell do you want? I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Are you even allowed to be here?

You've admitted your guilt, Mr Silvani. The hearing's over.

Unless there's something you'd like to add?

Yeah, I'd like you to piss off.

Why did you change your plea?

Were you given a choice? Go home!

I know you're working for someone.

Are you really gonna let yourself be used as cannon fodder?

I think you're better than that, Mr Silvani.

Stand up for yourself.

Tell the police about your employers and you'll be looked after.

Hey, security! I want to help you.

Security!

Get her out of here.

Your loss.

I wanna make a phone call!

Are you insane?

I just wanted the truth.

Truth? The truth about what?

I don't know. The whole case just felt dodgy.

What's your evidence? It just didn't feel right.

So based on a whim, you march into the holding cells

to confer with the defendant?

It wasn't a whim and the hearing had finished anyway.

Erin, if this gets back to his barrister, which it will,

it's gonna reflect incredibly badly on you and this entire office.

I don't know what you saw or what you think you saw,

but Claudia Swann, she's a member of the bar.

So throwing accusations around without evidence,

it's reckless and dangerous.

Don't do it again.

You had a good day today. Go home and celebrate.

I thought I might go to the gym, box myself happy.

Whatever it takes.

Janet needs the originals separated from the copies.

Well, it might have helped if you told me that before.

We are gonna have to go home eventually.

I'm not avoiding him. I just wanna get this finished.

He won't be there anyway. He'll be stewing somewhere.

This stupid lie has backfired on everyone.

You guys aren't talking. Lisa won't return my phone calls.

No great loss.

What is your problem with me and other women?

There's no problem.

You're like my goofy brother.

I don't wanna think about you having sex. That's all.

But it's OK for me to lie there and listen to you

while you pound the wall at three in the morning?

We do not pound the wall. You're like a pneumatic drill.

Well, there's not much chance of that tonight.

Hello. Pup, PUP, PUP- Sorry

He gets excited around women.

He takes after his owner.

Oh, he's cute. Isn't he?

Oh, shit!

Better get that in the wash, Erin.

Lucky your place is just a few stops away.

Another.

I was 15 when I met him.

I'd never asked anyone out before. I'd always been on the receiving end.

He was the hottest guy at school.

All of the girls hated me for being with him.

I guess that was half of the reason why I asked him out -

'cause I wanted to make them jealous.

What was your first date?

He took me to a drag race.

I'm guessing that's not a bunch of drag queens

running through Surry Hills.

I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Fail. Mmm.

Well, watching cars round a track. That sounds romantic.

No, I know. I hated the idea.

But you know what? We had such a good time.

He made me feel like the most important person in the world.

I mean, that's what he did.

Every day without fail, he made me feel important and loved.

He put up with me studying 16-hour days and working crazy hours,

he put up with my PMT and caffeine comedowns.

God, he even learned to cook for me.

He took me to a gay club, for God's sake.

He tried to pimp me out,

but, I mean, how many straight guys would be so cool with that?

That's nothing. He lent you the Lotus.

He gave me his gym room.

We can't sit here all night eating pizza

and pretending to give a rats about these phone intercepts.

I mean, Tatum, these things can wait.

There are things that can't wait.

Call him.

What if I've really screwed it up?

Watch it, mate. You need to keep your eyes open.

What's your fucking problem, mate? Huh?

And that is the last of them.

I'll put these on Janet's desk.

Can we go home now, please? Sure.

Call him.

No luck?

Let's just go.

Ohh!

Hey, you! Stop! What the fuck are you doing?!

Help! Somebody help!

Someone help!

Get off him! I'm calling the cops.

Fuck.

Fuck! Fuck!

I wanna make a phone call. Get your arse in the van.

Belting a cop's a bad move, mate.

One call.

Erin.

What happened?

Thanks for coming.

Let's get you out of here.

Come on.
