You want a cuppa?

Bub?

And Inglis, not only to catch that ball, the collision,

but to come out of that collision

and position himself to get the ball from Burgess.

You been in a fight?

(TAP RUNNING)

Jesus, Robyn. I told you not to go up there.

Go to your mates' places

-or one of the pubs around here. -(TAP CLOSING)

What you wanna go up the Cross for? Place is full of dickheads.

Don't start preachin'.

You don't know what you're talkin' about. You have no idea.

How many drinks you had? You drunk?

(VOICE BREAKING) I'm not drunk. I only had two drinks.

And, no, I wasn't in a fight.

Well, excuse me, I'm just...

Looking at what I'm seeing and it's not a pretty sight.

(EXHALES)

You wanna know what happened?

You really wanna know what happened?

(SOBS) Oh...

I was raped, Dad.

-Baby... -Raped.

Baby...

I'm gonna go check on Donna.

This mad girl.

I tried to get her to change.

Anyone gonna think she's got no clothes.

She's been wearing these for days.

Robyn, we gotta talk.

-Did she eat all her dinner? -Yeah.

Who was it, Robyn?

Did you know him?

-Darlin'... -No, I don't know who he was, okay?

No one can know about this, Dad.

(SIGHS)

Robyn... Darlin'...

Robyn, please, you can't have a shower, baby.

Robyn...

Robyn, it's evidence.

The evidence is on your body.

Darlin', please do not have a shower.

Darlin', you cannot step in that shower. Please.

Jesus Christ.

What are you doin' here?

ALLIE: Your father asked me.

-AARON: Hey, babe... -(SIGHS)

-We need the clothes, bub. -You're not having them.

We need the clothes for evidence, baby.

I'm givin' nothin' to nobody.

You need to report this, bub.

No, I don't. I don't have to do anything.

Yes, you do. You need to report it.

I know it's gonna be hard, but if you don't, he's gonna get away with it.

What's going to the cops gonna do? Huh?

I was raped.

They can't fix that.

And you know what else?

You're not gonna report it. Promise me.

You can't tell anyone ever.

(GRUNTS)

Baby, come here. Come here.

-Just... -Move!

I can't go to the cops and I'm not giving them my clothes.

Okay, okay. Look, I just don't want you to get burnt.

If you do this, that's it.

Evidence gone.

Take it.

Take it!

(SIGHS)

Hey, Sarge. Yeah, it's Aaron.

Yep. Yeah, I'm okay.

Actually, I'm not feeling too well at all.

Something's going round.

-Yeah. So... -(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

-(EXHALES) I'm not gonna make it today. -ROBYN: Get onto the table.

Yeah, just not feeling crash hot.

Yeah.

Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow, Sarge.

Thank you. I will. Yeah, bye.

Dad, please, just go to work.

-Robyn... -I don't need you hanging around here.

I'm all right.

I'm gonna forget about it and so are you.

Are you gonna report it?

-No, Dad, I'm not. -(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I'm not here.

I don't care who it is, I'm not here.

-Where's Robyn? -Hey.

-(SIGHS) -Hey...

I'm so sorry, Robyn.

(MOUTHING)

ALLIE: Yeah, hold your horses.

-You told her. -What?

You told Celine about Robyn.

Yeah, I did.

You promised, Allie. How...

You promised me and you promised Robyn.

Yeah, I did, I promised.

But what did you want me to do?

Huh? You tell me.

Let my daughter run around out there

when there's a rapist on the loose?

I don't think so.

You promised, Allie.

So, how can I help you?

Um... (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

I just wanna get checked up for something, that's all.

What sort of something?

You know.

STIs?

Yeah.

Are you currently in a relationship?

No.

Did you practise safe sex?

Nuh.

You do know what safe sex is?

Yeah, I do.

Okay, I'm going to need a blood test, a urine test,

and I'm going to take a swab.

The bathroom is down the hall on the right.

Is there something like a pill that I can take?

Um... (CLEARS THROAT) In case I'm pregnant.

Yes. Yes, there is.

It's called ECP.

Some people call it the morning-after pill.

It's available at the chemist over the counter.

But the best way to avoid this situation

is to take responsibility and use contraception.

(SIGHS)

-Hey. -Hey.

How's your girl?

-You know. -Yeah, right.

-She gonna talk to someone? -I don't know.

She's leaving things be at the moment.

You can't let things be for too long, Aaron.

Yeah, I know.

If she wants to talk...

Yeah, thanks. Look, I gotta get to work, so I'll see you when I see you...

-Hey, don't do this. -Do what?

What do you want me to do?

I'm not sorry that I told Celine.

-Yeah. You had to do what you had to do. -Yeah, I did.

Look...

If you need anything, you just ask me, okay?

Yeah. Look, I gotta go.

That was the deal. Cash in hand.

Look, Lorraine, what do you want me to do?

Go to an ATM especially for you?

I never go that way.

I just wanted to get home with the kids.

"Stay in the light. Stay where people are.

"Don't put yourself in a position where...

"Where something'd happen."

A person wanna take her own advice.

You walked home. That's okay.

People walk home every day.

You should've been safe.

I want you to know that you're safe here now.

You okay with being here?

My role is to attend to all your medical needs

and to examine you for evidence that the police may use later in court.

-If that's okay with you? -Yeah.

Okay. I'm just gonna start by asking you a few questions.

Since the assault, have you changed your clothing?

-No. -Hmm.

Have you been to the toilet,

-done a wee? -No.

-Have you vomited? -No.

Have you washed your mouth or cleaned your teeth?

Get out. Come here.

She's a good woman, you know?

And you're a fuckin' dog.

You know what else? Blackfellas run these jails.

They're gonna find out about you, I'll make sure of that.

-POLICEMAN: I'll take him from here. -Yep. He's all yours.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Hey, Dad, you gotta come and have a look at these.

True, this girl, stylin' up on this stage. (CHUCKLES)

Big woman. Look at her.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, anyone would think she was walking the red carpet.

My baby.

She's just beautiful.

We arrested someone tonight.

I think we may have got him.

Jesus, Dad. You reported it?

Why... Why would you do that? Is it because you're a copper?

-Just listen, Robyn... -Is that it? Is it?

I asked you not to tell anyone and you promised me!

-You promised. -Robyn...

Oh, Jesus. Oh, shame job, huh?

-Robyn, please just... -You couldn't keep your mouth shut!

No, just listen to me.

You're a copper, yeah, but you're my dad, and you promised me.

I promised you, baby, but...

You couldn't help yourself, eh?

You couldn't help yourself.

Allie tell you to do it?

-Allie didn't tell me nothin'. -Did she?

-Robyn... -(CHUCKLES) She did.

-Please just listen to me. -She told you to report it.

-She didn't tell me anything. -Thanks a lot, Dad!

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Imagine the gossip.

What's everyone gonna think?

They're all gonna think I'm a slut,

or feel sorry for me.

It's been hard for you, Dad, but...

It's been harder for me.

It was Lorraine.

Aunty Lorraine.

What?

We got him because Aunty Lorraine was raped.

Jesus, Dad.

Sorry, bub.

Dad...

I can't...

I can't report it.

What's she gonna think? She's gonna hate me.

What's everyone else gonna think?

Dad, please... Please don't hate me.

Hey, I don't hate you.

I'm not gonna judge you.

I'm gonna fight for you.

Hey, I'll go out swingin'. Come here.

Don't, don't!

Whatever you do, and whatever you want, I'll back you up.

Come here.

I think it's gonna be okay, babe.

We got him.

There's nothing he can do now.

Where's Aunty Lorraine now?

Dropped her home.

She thanked me.

She thanked me for dropping her home.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

It's okay.

No, it's not.

Yeah, it is.

Don't do this, Mum.

It's not all right and you know it.

(MOBILE VIBRATES)

Uh, David...

Yeah, sorry, I'm late. Yep.

Uh... Look, I'm not gonna come in today.

Yeah, look, I've just got a few...

Things on... Personal things.

Um, yeah, they're pretty bloody personal.

"How personal?"

I've just been raped, David.

Raped.

Yeah, well, I think that's pretty bloody personal in anyone's books.

Oh, yeah, thanks for your concern.

Idiot.

Yeah, I know. It's not my colour.

Sorry.

Just in time to make me breakfast.

What?

Nothing.

Two years.

Two bloody years I gave 'em up, and, God, I miss em'.

I was looking for an excuse to start up again.

It's a pretty good excuse, I reckon, eh?

-Mmm, you're excused. -Mmm. Thank you.

(SIGHS)

-It's gonna be hard. -What?

The court case.

So, you don't want me to go to court now?

The courts don't care. They don't muck around.

They can say what they want, I'll take 'em on.

He's not gettin' away with it.

I'll make damn sure of it.

Do it for my kids.

I wouldn't have been walking through there...

I wouldn't need to work if Raymond hadn't pissed off.

Pissed off and left me with three kids to feed, run the house.

You kicked him out, Lorraine.

Yeah, well...

I've gotta pay the bills.

Everything I make, every cent, goes to paying off a debt.

It'd be a hell of a lot easier if the man of the house was around.

Oh, fuck it.

I'm not gonna feel sorry for myself.

I hate

feeling sorry for myself.

I'm stronger than that, hey, Pete?

You're strong.

(INDISTINCT TV CHATTER)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

-ALLIE: Aaron? -(SIGHS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

-Aaron! -Hold on.

Lorraine now, eh?

Told you.

Told you something like this was gonna happen.

-Is she all right? -Not really.

-Does Robyn know? -Yeah, she knows.

She okay?

She's okay. She's struggling a little bit, but she's okay.

It was a long night.

She's upstairs asleep with the baby.

I'm really worried about her, Aaron.

I'm worried about you too.

What sort of policeman doesn't report a crime?

What does that mean? Can you be charged?

I'm her father, Allie. I'm looking after her.

Is it the same bloke?

Yeah, I think it is.

Well, that's it, then.

Robyn's gotta say something, you've gotta say something.

We can't let Lorraine go through this by herself.

She can't not report it now,

she has to say something.

Just like you reported Indigo when he slapped you around?

Don't you dare compare a punch to a rape.

-Just go. -What?

Please, just go. Piss off and mind your own business.

-Mind my own business? -Please.

You're the one that come knockin' on my door, draggin' me down here.

I'm in on this too, now.

And I feel like shit, so don't you dare tell me to mind my own business.

You tell me not to report it, not to say anything. Then what?

Lorraine gets raped. And you know what?

Robyn...

Can you just go?

(SIGHS)

We're gonna send them in now, Lorraine, if you feel up to it.

MAN: In here.

-(INHALES DEEPLY) -Stand there.

Face the window.

LORRAINE: Second from left.

MAN: Turn to your right.

DETECTIVE: Are you sure?

LORRAINE: Yeah.

I'm sure.

Okay.

MAN: Turn to your left.

Face the front.

You'll be pleased to know that all the tests have come back negative.

You're very lucky you didn't catch anything this time.

You might wanna have a read of these.

They explain the dangers of unsafe casual sex.

Unwanted pregnancy and the like.

Everything that's talked about in here is confidential, eh?

Yes. Yes, of course.

(KEYPAD CLACKING)

I know what a condom is and I know what safe sex is.

You think I'm stupid, eh?

-No. -Like some sort of slut.

You don't know why I came in here, do ya?

Because I was raped!

RECEPTIONIST: I've already got your details. Take a seat.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

-Hey, Robyn. -Hey, Jade.

How are ya?

-I'm okay. -Hey, Aunt.

Hey, darlin'. How's that big girl of yours, eh?

Oh, yeah, she's good. Still mad as ever.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

Uh...

I'm so sorry for what happened.

Thank you, darlin'.

They got him. That's the main thing.

Yeah.

Married man. Three kids, flash house.

You never know, eh?

Nah.

How are you going with everything?

Oh, look, you know. It's hard.

But I got my day in court.

And if I could cut off his...

You know what.

-Anyway, bub, you take care, all right? -Yeah, you too.

-JADE: See ya, Robyn. -See ya, sis.

-Dad! -Hey, my girl.

She's in the kitchen.

Mum.

I rang him. He knows.

He knows everything. (SIGHS)

-Will you go to the shop? -JADE: What for?

I don't know. Bread.

We got bread.

I just need to talk to your father.

(SIGHS) What am I getting?

I don't know, your dad's back. Get him a slab of VB.

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

Wife raped. Wife vulnerable.

Needs a man to make everything all right.

Hey, perfect opportunity to come back in and be the man of the house, eh?

I got this covered, Raymond.

I don't need no psycho bastard coming in, wanting revenge, you got that?

You...

You make me cry...

And I'll slap you again.

RAYMOND: All right.

(DOOR OPENS)

AARON: What did you get up to today?

(DOOR CLOSES)

Nothin'.

Oh.

Seen Aunty Lorraine today.

Yeah?

Just bumped into her in the street.

How did it go?

I don't know.

Couldn't look her in the eye.

And how was she?

I don't know.

I know it's hard, but you've gotta think of yourself, bub.

Yeah.

-Think of myself. -Yeah.

What if she finds out about what happened?

She's not gonna find out. Hey?

How's she gonna find out?

Well, everyone finds out something somehow.

Uh, no one's gonna find out.

What if someone else got raped or bashed or...

And they didn't report it?

And say something happened to Donna because they didn't report it?

If something happened to her, you'd wanna kill 'em, eh, Dad?

I would.

(INAUDIBLE)

Hey, what are you up to?

Nothin'. Enjoyin' the day.

Got any shrapnel for uncle?

-You got no shame, Country. -Come on, bruz.

How many years you bludgin' me? 23 years.

-We're family. -(CHUCKLES) We're not family.

Come on, bruz, you just can't claim everybody as family.

-We're all family. -(CHUCKLES)

Hmm, trouble in paradise.

-What? -COUNTRY: Sister-girl not happy.

Yeah, whatever.

Where are you going?

Allie's.

-(SOFTLY) Girlfriend. -(DOOR CLOSES)

To his girlfriend's.

ALLIE: Who is it?

Hey. I need to talk to you.

What do you want?

Could you come downstairs, please?

Can't you tell me here?

I need to talk to you downstairs.

-Really? -Yes, really.

(ALLIE GROANS)

Look, if we're gonna argue, we may as well get married.

Are you going mad?

Don't be stupid.

(EXHALES)

Here you go.

There.

You all right?

-Yeah. -You sure?

-Yeah. -Okay.

So how was Allie today?

I think I might leave that one a little while.

-Dad... -Eh, don't worry, Robyn.

She doesn't want to marry me.

Eh?

Marry you?

What, you asked her, straight out?

Yep, I asked her, straight out. No mucking about, me.

(CHUCKLES)

And she said "No"?

Yes, she said "No".

-What for? -I don't know.

You know why, eh, Dad?

No, it's not because of you. It's got nothing to do with you.

It's got everything to do with me.

If I had gone to the cops...

And now Aunty Lorraine...

No, Robyn, don't. Don't blame yourself.

Like I said, it's just the timing, that's all.

-Dad, I... -Please leave it, Robyn.

Look, I've gotta ask you something.

You might not like it.

You might say no.

And that's fair, I'll understand.

But I gotta know, Robyn.

I gotta know if that bloke in court

is the same bloke that...

I need you to come to court tomorrow.

He threw me on the car...

Face-first.

And he used his knees to spread my legs open.

He ripped off my underpants.

(GRUNTS)

I tried to fight, but he was choking me.

-(GASPS) -Shh!

He was on top of me,

and then he started raping me.

(GRUNTS)

PROSECUTOR: How did you respond?

LORRAINE: I fought.

I fought as hard as I could, but he was too strong.

He was in my face, right in my face,

telling me that if I didn't shut up, he would kill me.

If you die,

I'm still gonna fuckin' rape ya.

PROSECUTOR: And what happened then?

LORRAINE: I stopped fighting.

You know, I stopped hitting him.

I couldn't get him off me.

PROSECUTOR: And what did you do then?

As he was raping me, I was...

Looking in his pockets, feeling his car keys, wallet, anything.

I got his mobile phone.

And when he's finished,

I call the police.

I call the police on his mobile phone.

Dad...

Can we go, please?

-Please. -Yeah, babe.

I thought you'd given up.

Yeah, so did I.

What, you gonna start too, are ya?

No. I'm not startin' nothin'.

What are you doing, then?

What do you mean?

What are you doing here, Raymond?

-I'm here for you, Lorraine. -Are ya?

Yes.

If I'd have been here, none of this would've happened.

It's not your fault.

He did this to me, not you.

Raymond...

I thought I was never gonna see our kids again.

I was thinkin'...

"Who's gonna look after them?"

You wanna do something for me?

Stay here.

Look after the kids.

I don't want you going to court tomorrow.

I don't want you sittin' there

and listening to that fella deny the whole thing.

Just be here.

It's gonna be okay.

Dad...

Can you take me around to see Aunty Lorraine?

What for?

I wanna say sorry for not saying anything.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

Um, just wondering if you wouldn't mind Donna for a while?

Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

We won't be long.

Just going over to Lorraine's.

-Robyn's got something to tell her. -Okay.

If she needs to stay for the night, it's okay.

No, no, we'll be right.

All right. Well, just let me know then, eh?

Of course.

-Come on, big girl. -Go on, then.

-Come on. -You be a good girl now.

-DONNA: Yeah. -(CHUCKLES)

Hey. What you mob up to? Come in.

No, it's all right.

I, uh...

I just wanted to say, um...

I just wanted to say how brave you were today, that's all.

You were amazing.

Thank you, Robyn.

It's happened to you...

Hasn't it?

It's okay.

I know it's hard.

You can't carry this, it'll eat you.

Just promise me you'll...

You'll come here if it gets too much.

Yeah.

Thanks.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I'm sorry, Dad, I just couldn't...

-Hey, it's all good, bub. -I couldn't tell...

It's all good.

-Okay? -Okay.

-Hey. Hello. -Hey.

Donna, your mum and pop are here.

(GIGGLES)

Hey, big woman. How was it?

-Good. -Good?

Thanks, Celine. I'm gonna get this girl to bed. Come on.

See ya.

How'd it go?

Yeah, it was all right.

How's Lorraine, is she all right?

Yeah, she's good.

What, that's it? Just good?

Well, we went there and Robyn told her how brave she was.

What do you mean, "How brave she was"?

In court.

How brave she was to stand up in court and testify.

-That's it? -Yeah.

Nothing about her.

No, she couldn't do it.

Could've said something.

Oh, what do you want me to say?

Jesus Christ, Aaron, you're the father, the parent.

You're meant to give her what she needs, not what she wants.

-I'm trying, Allie. -It's not enough, Aaron.

-Well, tell me, Allie, what is enough? -I just told you.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

LORRAINE: Hey, you fellas, anyone home?

-Hey. -Hey.

What are you up to?

(SIGHS) I couldn't sleep.

Last night, what Robyn told me.

You know she's gotta talk to someone, eh?

AARON: Yeah. Yeah, I know.

LORRAINE: Where is she?

AARON: She's inside there.

Well, I was knocking, no one was answering.

Might be asleep.

Robyn! Lorraine's down here to see ya.

Hey, bub. How are ya?

Hi. Yeah, good.

How's Donna?

Yeah, nah, she's good too.

When did it happen?

About a year ago.

I'll leave you two alone.

There's tea and stuff there.

Did you know him?

Nuh.

Have you seen him around since it happened?

Nuh.

(SIGHS)

You want a cup of tea or anything?

Nah, bub, I'm all right, thanks.

Did you talk to anyone?

Your dad? A counsellor?

No.

If you need to talk to anyone, okay?

Yep.

See ya, bub.

Bye.

(EXHALES)

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

-How'd you go? -Nah, nothin'.

You look after that girl, eh?

I will.

You're a good dad, Aaron.

We're gonna get him, Lorraine.

Yeah, I know.

ROBYN: Thanks, Celine.

All right, see you soon.

Okay, bye.

You okay?

Yeah.

Celine's gonna take Donna to kindy.

How come?

I want to see his face, Dad.

When he goes down, I wanna be there.

BAILIFF: All rise.

You'd say you were an honest person, wouldn't you, Mrs Blake?

It is "missus", isn't it?

Yes. And yes.

And you're sure about that?

Yeah. I'm sure.

But it's true, isn't it,

that you've defrauded the Commonwealth government of welfare payments?

In the range of $60,000.

In the face of that, Mrs Blake, how can you say that you're an honest person?

I am an honest person.

But I just asked you if you were an honest person

and you failed to admit that you've committed a fraud.

So, in saying that,

you've just lied to the jury, haven't you, Mrs Blake?

-I didn't lie. -Yes, you did.

The simple question I asked of you is,

"Are you an honest person?"

Now, honest people don't lie.

Can you tell me you didn't just lie.

You could call it a lie.

Do you always lie, Mrs Blake?

Objection, Your Honour. What's the relevance?

Relevance?

I have instructions from my client to raise the issue

of character, Your Honour.

As long as your client's aware of the consequences

that arise from such a line of questioning.

Yes, Your Honour.

Fraud,

just so we're all clear...

It was fraud, wasn't it, Mrs Blake?

Yeah. Fraud.

And it's something that I'm deeply ashamed of

and I'm paying it back, every last cent of it.

That's very admirable of you, Mrs Blake.

That's very honest, you might say.

Now let's look to the night of the alleged assault.

Now, the curious thing that I hope you can shed some light on

is where had you been that night?

I was out.

Out? Out where?

-Walking. -Walking?

Okay. But your attire on the night suggested it wasn't for exercise.

You weren't wearing exercise gear, were you, Mrs Blake?

-No. -So, where were you?

I've got a job.

-A job? -Yeah.

What sort of job sees you on the dark streets of Sydney at night,

and not at home with your children, Mrs Blake?

Your Honour, objection. Badgering the witness.

This better be leading somewhere, Counsel.

I'd like Mrs Blake to explain to the court

the reasons for her being on the streets at night, Your Honour.

I'm not allowing that question.

Mrs Blake, you will simply answer the question,

where were you on that night prior to the incident?

I have a cleaning job.

It's a couple of hours a night

to help with things, with the bills.

Cash in hand, is it?

-Yeah. -Cash in hand.

So, no paperwork, no pay slip. Basically, it's undeclared income.

So, in effect, you're defrauding

the Commonwealth government yet again.

LORRAINE: No. No, I'm not.

I have a second job because I have kids to feed and bills to pay.

Yes.

Your circumstances are difficult, Mrs Blake.

Single mum, three kids,

$60,000 debt to pay off.

Money's tight, isn't it, Mrs Blake?

Yeah, it is.

Mrs Blake, this is what actually happened, isn't it?

You had consensual sex with my client, didn't you?

-No, I didn't. -And then

you demanded money from him.

You hold up right there.

That's not what happened.

I was raped.

Why would I lie?

Why would I put myself through this,

put my family through this, if it didn't happen?

Mrs Blake, you've defrauded the Commonwealth government twice

and everything you've said about this incident is total fabrication.

I am not lying now.

How's the jury expected to believe you?

-Because it's the truth. -Mrs Blake, is it your intention to put in a claim

-for victim compensation? -Objection.

I don't want this court's money, you can shove it.

I promised myself that I wouldn't cry until that man there was found guilty.

I work hard. I work two jobs,

day, night, to feed my kids.

I would steal to feed them if I had to, anyone would.

But there are two things that I wouldn't do.

I wouldn't sell myself and, unlike you...

I wouldn't defend a rapist.

BAILIFF: All rise.

The defence calls the accused, Mr Daryl Hopkins, to the stand.

Can you please state for the court your full name and your profession?

Daryl Laurence Hopkins.

I run my own business.

I've been a chartered accountant for over 10 years.

And, Mr Hopkins, are you married?

Yes.

Yes, I'm married with three children.

And, Mr Hopkins, have you ever been in trouble with the police before?

Never.

Apart from the occasional parking fine,

I've never been in trouble with the law, no.

Can you please tell the court

of the events on the night of the alleged assault.

I was working late and I was heading home...

I've been...

Married for 18 years.

And until this night, my wife was the only person that I'd ever had sex with

in all those years.

And I'm truly disgusted with myself that is no longer the case.

And can you please tell the court what happened that night?

I was walking along when I was approached by a woman...

Mrs Blake.

She offered me sex.

I couldn't believe it, so I laughed and I kept going.

Then she came back and she kept going.

She leaned in really close and...

I could smell her.

Her perfume.

Smelt good.

And I'm a man, so...

Something happened and I leaned in and we kissed.

And then I'm ashamed to say that we had sex right there on that car.

And can you tell the court what happened next?

Then she started asking me for money.

I laughed in her face...

And that's when she freaked out.

When you say, "Freaked out," Mr Hopkins,

can you please explain to the jury exactly what you mean?

She started hitting me, she started trying to scratch me,

she was trying to get my wallet.

I don't know how she got my phone.

And then...

I just ran.

Mr Hopkins, is there anything else

that you'd like to share with the court today?

I had sex with that woman.

But I... I did not rape her.

I betrayed my wife, my family,

kids.

For that, I am truly sorry.

I have no further questions, Your Honour.

(SOBS)

My client is a 40-year-old accountant with no criminal record.

He's never been in trouble with the law.

And yet you're being asked to believe that a man such as this,

happily married, law-abiding accountant,

suddenly decides at the age of 40 to turn rapist.

And who's asking you to believe this?

Mrs Lorraine Blake,

a woman whose evidence you've seen in court,

a woman who's lied and lied...

He's gonna get off.

-LAWYER: Now, I'd ask you to consider... -You don't know that yet.

-Yeah, Dad, he is. -No, baby.

LAWYER: She has described herself as someone who would lie

-and steal and do anything -(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

to feed her children.

It's her word against his.

I'll let you be the judge.

And I ask you to find him not guilty.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

you've heard all of the evidence presented in this case.

AARON: Lorraine.

Lorraine.

Just wait a minute. Please.

Lorraine. I'm sorry, Lorraine.

You don't know how sorry I am.

I tried to get her to report it, and I should've.

I'm her father and I should've done somethin',

but what could I do?

She was scared.

And she begged me not to say anything.

I couldn't betray her.

Hate me, Lorraine, but please don't hate Robyn.

(MOBILE BEEPS)

(MOBILE RINGS)

Sorry.

Robyn...

Robyn, please ring me. Just ring me and tell me that you're okay.

VOICEMAIL: Hey. You've called Robyn...

(EXHALES)

What's done is done.

What now?

We'll find out soon.

Yeah.

Ask me again.

What?

What you asked me the other day.

Ask me again.

What?

You wanna get married?

Yes.

Yes.

With me?

Yes. With you.

(SIGHS)

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

I understand you've reached a verdict.

I'm sorry, Aunty.

I'm so sorry. I...

Please...

I'm sorry.

Guilty.

What?

Guilty?

(BOTH SOBBING)
