All language subtitles for Janet.King.S01E07.An.Achilles.Heel.EAC3.2.0.1080p.WEBRip.x265-iVy

He´s the new boy, Janet.
He feels isolated.

He´s an arrogant, patronizing
show pony.

You know
that every time a barrister

applies for
the senior counsel position,

well, the silk committee,

they appoint a colleague
to keep an eye on him.

They´ve got Janet King
looking at me?

Mr. Moreno,
I find you not guilty.

You´re free to go.

Pull out
Judge Renmark´s decisions

over the last two years.

-Why?
-Something was dodgy in Moreno.

We´re drowning in work,
and you´re stalking Renmark?

Someone leaned on him.

How else could he get Moreno
so wrong?

He´s clever.

He chooses his opportunities
very carefully,

twists things just as much
as he needs to.

So there´s
nearly 100% conviction rate

for the last 18 months
until Moreno.

He´s convicting everyone
that comes before him.

They´re all connected --
Blakely, Nelson, Moreno.

-Renmark?
-Especially Renmark.

You needed something concrete

before you could start a formal
investigation, and here it is.

You realize
this could sink us both?

I heard you´ve been reviewing
some of my judgments.

Did you?

I´d tread very carefully
if I were you, Ms. King.

My findings
could be very damning.

But I´m offering you
one last chance.

Resign now.

Good night, Ms. King.

Pleasant dreams.

We´ve compiled
a list of people

who might hold a grudge
against you.

I don´t need this.
I know who did it.

-What have we got?
-Not sure.

What´s up, babe?

Hey, handsome.

I missed you at breakfast
this morning.

Yeah, sorry.
They called me out early.

Didn´t want to wake you.

Uh, will you have
some time later today, or...

What is it?

Uh, well, it´s just, um...

Will you --
Uh, will you be home for dinner?

Shit.

I´ll, uh --
I´ll call you back later.

I should have
told him last night.

I´m such a chicken.

He´ll call you back
when he can.

He´s so desperate
to have children.

Well, it´s not a definite,
is it?

Mm.

Kids´ll happen
when you´re both ready.

Probably when
you least expect them.

And if all else fails,

do what the rest of us do
in times of crisis --

bury yourself in work.

Oh, how´s Nelson looking,
by the way?

Maya ready to demolish him?

-Sorry.

Yeah.

Andy.
Is everything okay?

In one judgment, Renmark even
quotes a precedent from a case

where the case itself
doesn´t even exist.

We already have lots of stuff
on him already,

and I´ve only fully checked
about half of them so far, so...

-He´s dead.
-Who?

Judge Renmark.

Well, we can´t
be certain about anything.

It might be suicide.

We haven´t found a note.

There´s nothing to suggest
he was suicidal.

And it´s not
a known suicide spot.

-An accident?
-Could be.

Leaning over the edge
to look at something.

Or maybe he dropped
his parking ticket

and was trying to grab it.

Or maybe some kids
were trying to rob him,

and, you know, a bit of pushing
and shoving got out of hand.

Well, how´s the scene?
Anything on the body?

Ah, yeah.
Bits and pieces on and around.

Keys.
Monogrammed handkerchief.

Phone.

Pen, also monogrammed.

-But no wallet.
-So it all fits a robbery.

Apart from this,
anything else unexpected?

Not really.

Who was the last person
to see him alive?

Well, he didn´t look
like a man about to suicide.

Not when he was in here.

No talk of nothing left to live
for since finishing the job?

What, apart from beach, beer,
Test cricket,

a very generous pension scheme?

Ho ho!
Retirement´s all I live for.

No, not Judge Renmark.
No.

He was, uh, gloating yesterday.

He had all the rumor
and innuendo he needed

to dump on Janet
from a great height,

and he was relishing
the prospect of doing so.

But he only told me that.

-Not Janet?
-No, I don´t think so, no.

Was she here?

I´m not sure.
She might have been outside.

Can´t remember.

You didn´t see them
talk at all?

Um...

Okay. Thanks.

Yes, I did see him.

He stopped to talk to me
on his way out.

And?

He said unless I resigned, he
was intending to get me fired.

Which you would have been
pretty upset about, I imagine.

Well, it´s hardly unexpected.

But if you´re looking for people
who might gain by his death,

I suppose I´m one of them.

Although you did have
witness protection officers

outside your door all night,

which is pretty good
as alibis go.

Any other ideas?

The more we look
at the crime scene,

the more it looks like there was
some sort of altercation.

One of his shirt buttons
was missing.

There was a few of his items
scattered around the body.

A random attack
got out of hand.

Random?

That´s our best bet
at the moment.

Random?
Are you serious?

Look, we know that Renmark
let Moreno off in court,

and Moreno rented
Blakely´s beach house.

We know that Blakely and Nelson
are linked.

And as soon as we started
lifting the lid on them,

Blakely was killed and my whole
family was nearly blown up.

And now Renmark.

Of course
I think it´s something bigger.

We still can´t prove Moreno and
Blakely even knew each other.

And your car was blown up by
ammonium nitrate and coal dust.

That says to us someone big.

Someone with
serious connections.

Yes.

And I doubt a guy like Moreno

could even
mix that stuff together.

You really don´t think
Renmark´s death

could have been
a random attack?

He was being influenced by
someone to bend his judgments.

Then suddenly he finds out
he´s being investigated,

and, oh, dear,
there´s a random attack?

Come on, Andy!

It is someone
with serious connections.

That is exactly my point.

What, he knew
he was being investigated?

I think
they´re talking about me.

You´re paranoid. Why would
they be talking about you?

I can tell. I´ve got
a very acute sense of this.

Richard, a judge is dead.

We´ve got an unsolved murder
of a police officer

and a car bombing.

You really think
they´re talking about you?

No.
No, you´re right.

-Richard!

When you were collating
Renmark´s judgments

did you talk to any counsel,

mention what you were doing
about Renmark

to any other solicitors´
admin staff?

No. I mean, most of it was
on the online database.

Didn´t talk to anyone?

Uh, well, I had to ask
a couple of clerks

for one or two
of the older judgments.

But I always said
I was checking for precedent.

I never mentioned Renmark
personally.

Thanks, Richard.

Someone from
the Courts Admin Authority

may have noticed something,
or...

...one of the juniors
from around...

Owen knew.

I told him when I asked about

the Crown against Gianopolous
judgment.

-When was this?
-Yesterday.

Mate, you got a sec?

Yeah, what´s up?

Renmark´s dead.

Fell off a car park
four stories up last night.

Fell?

Fell, pushed.
Who knows?

Did you tell anyone

about Richard going back over
his judgments?

No.

Great.

-He´s dead? Really?
-Yeah.

How do you fall off a car park?

Easy if you get pushed.

Who else was there?
What are you thinking?

Don´t know.

What, forensics give you
anything? CCTV?

Not much, no.

Wow.

This is getting
weirder and weirder.

Yeah, I know.

It all means another
investigation, of course,

trawling over the last
few months of his life.

Yeah, I can imagine
there´s a few questions.

Yeah.

And why was he appointed

to run this inquiry
into Janet and Erin?

And did he lobby for it?
Who fed the story to the media?

He sure wanted Janet out of
this place -- We know that much.

If you hear anything,
just let me know.

Yeah.

Got to run.

Tonight, I promise.
Okay?

Before we go to sleep,
we are gonna get half an hour,

and you can talk,
and I will listen.

-Thank you.
-Okay?

What´s it about, anyway?

My fertility results.

But it´s not
a 10-second conversation.

But tonight, though, please.

I promise, okay?
I really promise.

Where was it?

Renmark´s study.
Taped up underneath the desk.

Who found it?

-Me.
-No one else knows?

No one.
Took it out and texted you.

Okay. Thanks.

This had better be good.

Oh, it is.

Normally I hate surprises.

We were searching through
Renmark´s house,

looking for anything that
might indicate why he went out.

Excuse us for a sec.

Or who he was planning to meet.
Anything, really.

And we found this USB.

That´s the same one

that was
at Keith Nelson´s house.

Correct, but Nelson´s
had nothing on it.

And Renmark´s?

Over 84,000 photos,

over 30 videos of porn.

All clearly underage.

Any idea where these images
come from?

Well, we´re still checking.

The kids,
they´re from everywhere.

Fucking hell.

Owen, Maya just --
Ooh, sorry.

What?

Maya just sent an e-mail
to Janet and me

confirming she won´t be
a witness on the Nelson trial.

Which means
there´s a record of it now.

You know, for the date?

Right.

Well, what should
I do about it?

I don´t know.
Let me think about it.

I´ll get back to you.
I got to make a call.

Okay.

-Where´s he going?
-Out to make a call.

Did you see that e-mail
that Maya sent?

Yes.

-Well, what do I do?
-We have to change her mind.

Can you please beg her to let us
have one more conversation?

Mm.
I´ll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Can´t you make it lunchtime?
That won´t be nearly so obvious.

Okay, well, what time
does your flight leave?

What about tonight?
Got time tonight?

All right, yep.
9:00 a.m.

No, not on the phone.

Thank you.

Yeah.
Tomorrow morning, then.

Yeah, same place.

Okay, yeah.
Bye.

Eh, eh, eh.
Not so fast.

-Can you come with me?
-Why? What is it?

I have some good news, which is
an unexpected turn of events

given the last few weeks.

But I have no intention
of saying it twice.

So, in here.

I have something to impart.

Right, well, I´ve just come
from a conference call

with the president
of the Law Society

and Her Holiness,
the attorney general.

In the aftermath
of Judge Renmark´s tragic death,

we were reviewing the inquiry
he was heading,

and I was able to tell
my learned colleagues

that when Judge Renmark

was summarizing his findings
to me last night,

prior to writing his report,

he indicated that he could find
no substance in the rumors,

and he was intending to clear
you both of all accusations.

He was?

That´s my recollection
of the conversation.

I don´t think anyone else
was there, were they?

No.

So the upshot is
the inquiry is to be abandoned,

which means you´re straight,
you´re gay,

you´re a solicitor advocate,
and we´re all just good friends.

No need for thanks.

Applause and alcohol
at the appropriate time

will be gratefully received.

Right.
Well, um, see you then.

Are we okay?

Yes, Erin, we´re okay.

Let´s just not
drink together, hmm?

Deal.

Okay, so this is how
it´s looking so far.

Someone who we don´t know yet --

possibly someone here,
possibly not --

finds out that Renmark
is a pedophile

and forces Renmark to convict
all these shitkickers

because it suits him
to have them in jail.

Yeah, but Renmark
acquits Moreno,

and the Moreno family
go on holidays

to Steven Blakely´s
beach house.

And some of the photos
taken there

end up
on an Eastern European website.

While Renmark´s stash of porn

is found on the same sort of USB
Nelson has.

And Keith Nelson
was a mate of Steve Blakely.

And in Janet´s scenario,
this someone killed Steve

when he thought they were
all about to be uncovered,

then tried to kill Janet when
she started guessing the truth

and killed Renmark as soon as
he knew we were onto him.

If this is one person,

then we´re dealing
with a serious player here.

Any ideas?

Ask Keith Nelson.
He´s the one who can tell us.

I know, but why would he?

-Have you put it to him?
-Put what to him?

I can hardly say, "We´ll go easy
on you for assaulting Maya

if you tell us who ran
the child porn ring

that we´re not even totally sure
you ever really belonged to."

Nelson had the same USB
as Renmark,

and Renmark´s is full of
illegal kiddie photos.

That´s got to be worth
a polite question, doesn´t it?

Yes, but he´s also
an up-himself son of a bitch

who´s convinced
he´s gonna get off.

Then convince him he´s not.

It´s 15 years old!

Her word against his.
I´m not a bloody magician.

Now, I´ll go in
as hard as you like

if or when Nelson starts to
realize that he´s been cornered.

So if there´s anything more
that you or Owen can do

to get him to that point,
it would be very, very helpful.

We won´t hound you, Maya,
I promise,

but it´s been some time since
the committal, and we thought...

We thought if we could just have
one last meeting.

Do you think
that I will change my mind?

Well, I want to be able to say
we tried, that´s all.

If I agree to one more,
that´ll be it, right?

There´ll be no more follow-ups?

No more.
Guaranteed.

With you and Owen.

Probably.
Yeah, sure.

No, just -- just you two.

Okay.

I really don´t want to
see Janet.

No, you won´t.

She´s a witness in the case.
She can´t be part of it.

It´ll just be Owen and me.

Yeah, right.
Okay.

Just spoke to Maya.

She didn´t hang up on you?

She said she´ll give us
half an hour to say our bit,

and that´s all.

9:00 tomorrow.

This is great!

Maya´s coming in
at 9:00 tomorrow.

Can we talk about
how you should approach her?

Obviously this is
very, very important.

Can´t do 9:00.

-What?
-I can´t do 9:00.

Can you make it 10:00?

No, I was lucky
to get her here at all.

Well, I´m sorry.
I can´t do 9:00.

Why not?

Because I´ve got
another appointment.

-Where?
-Excuse me?

Where are you going that could
possibly be more important

than changing Maya´s mind
about this trial?

Janet, take a Valium
or have a massage or something.

Just relax.

Owen, if we have to tell
the court Maya´s withdrawn,

Nelson walks away,
and we lose our best chance

of finding out
who´s behind all of this.

Anytime after lunch.
Evening, midnight, I don´t care.

I just can´t make 9:00.

If I call her again,
I really think

she´ll just
pull out completely.

Cancel it.

Whatever it is at 9:00,
why don´t you reschedule that?

Because if you wanted me here
at 9:00,

you should have asked me.

Don´t just set a meeting
and then assume I can make it.

Where are you going?

I don´t have to tell you.

Lina.

Listen, I really do
want to run this matter.

Can you please call Maya?

See if she can reschedule.

Janet.

Don´t contact Maya.

If we´ve only got one shot,
do it tomorrow.

Okay.
Should I tell Owen?

No, not yet.

Maybe text him tonight

or maybe tomorrow morning,
something like that.

Just wait as long as you can

and then say you tried
but she wouldn´t change.

Okay.

Um, if he -- if he finds out?

Look, I´ll cop any fallout.
Don´t worry about that.

Just leave it as it is,
though, yeah?

Okay.

Thanks. And can you just
come into my office?

I want to play out a few angles,
see how they sound.

And see if Erin´s around too,
yeah?

-Sure.
-Thanks.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Have you got a sec?
-Sure.

I´ve just been thinking
about Renmark and how he knew

what we found out about him.

And the rest of us,

we were all on the team who were
doing the finding out, so...

I´m just thinking,
it had to be Owen, didn´t it?

Or at least come from him
indirectly somehow.

Sit.

When you asked Owen
about that case he ran

in front of Renmark...

-Crown against Gianopolous.
-Yes.

Did you say enough for Owen to
know that you´d found a matter

in which Renmark had lied
in his judgment?

Yes.

Can you close the door?

If anyone interrupts us,

just say we´re having
a small, informal gathering

to celebrate the fact that,
I don´t know,

the inquiry´s been abandoned.

Mm.
I´ll drink to that.

Congratulations.

Now, before we get on to Maya,

didn´t you say once
back on the Simpson matter

that Owen had got bank records
without a subpoena?

-Yep.
-How?

I always thought he´d just asked
one of his copper friends.

Has he ever done anything
that you thought was dodgy?

Is this just for this room?

Yes.

Well, I did ask him how I could
prove one of the girls

in those photos for
the Clarke matter was underage,

and he said,
"Why don´t you slip a photo

of a five-year-old in there?

No one would pick it."

Oh, my God.

What if he paid Renmark
to find Gianopolous guilty?

Whoa. I think that might be
going a bit far.

Is it?

What if it was blackmail?

What if he discovered

Renmark´s, um, interest
in child pornography

and used that to force him
to make convictions?

That would mean that Owen was
the one controlling everything.

Exactly.

-No.
-Why not?

We already know he cheats

if he thinks the end
justifies the means.

And we know
that he benefited from

some of those
convictions himself.

It all adds up.

Aren´t we getting
a bit carried away here?

And he knows that you were
on the right track with Moreno,

and that explains the car bomb.

Then I mention that Renmark
is being investigated,

and he couldn´t take the risk
that Renmark might talk

to save his reputation.

Wait a second.
Just back it up.

Don´t you also think Nelson´s
a part of all this gang?

And yet isn´t Owen doing

everything he can
to convict Nelson?

-How does that work?
-What do you think?

Do you think he really
wants to prosecute Nelson?

-I don´t know.
-What?

Well, we said that we wanted to
talk to Maya tomorrow morning

and see
if she could testify again.

But Owen said he had to be
somewhere else,

and he wouldn´t say where.

-There you go.
-What? She pulled out?

Long story.

Owen also knows that if
we can put some heat on Nelson,

that he might be able to tell us
more about who tried to kill me.

But now you´re saying
that person could be Owen?

Well, who is
suddenly unavailable

to talk a witness around so the
case against Nelson falls apart.

I mean, how convenient.

That´s mad.

-Is it?
-Yes.

Right. Thanks.

-Yes?

Hi, Tracey.
I just...

It´s no big deal.

In fact, you don´t even have to
tell me even if you do know.

I just wanted to know
if you did.

Know what?

Where Owen´s going
tomorrow morning?

He´s here as far as I know.

Uh, no, he told Janet and Lina
he had an appointment,

wouldn´t be in till 10:00.

News to me.

Even if he is, I don´t see why
it should bother you.

Oh, no, it doesn´t.

But he wouldn´t tell Janet
or Lina either.

And, um -- We don´t need to know
where he´s going.

We just want to know
that you know

so that if there´s an emergency,
you can contact him for us.

Oh, thank you, Richard.

Your concern for office
efficiency is most welcome.

Right. Great.
Okay, then.

The respected
District Court judge

apparently died after falling
from a multistory car park

in the early hours
of this morning,

but police
are yet to release the details

surrounding the incident.

We´re appealing to the public
for any information

regarding this incident.

Are you treating it
as an accident?

Well, we´re pursuing several
lines of inquiry at the moment,

but we won´t say anything
more definite

until we´ve completed
further investigations.

Thank you.

-I´m off.
-Goodo.

Got something on
tomorrow morning.

-I´ll be in about 10:00.
-Oh, whereabouts?

Be on the mobile.

I really should know
where you are.

Tough.
And tell Janet I said that.

How´d you go with Maya?

Tried.
She said she´d get back to me.

Text or e-mail when you get
an answer from her, please?

Mm-hmm.

-Oh, I hate lying.

That is one of the many things
I love about you.

So, what does "idiopathic" mean,
exactly?

Mm, well,
according to Google,

it means
"arising from an unknown cause."

Ain´t that the truth.
So basically they don´t know.

Nope.

So when they say
idiopathic infertility,

they´re really saying
it could be permanent,

it could be temporary,
we´re in the dark,

you might have kids,
you might not, we can´t tell.

Yeah.
And then they charge you $180.

I want their job.

Hey, just don´t think,
you know, if, um --

if it doesn´t happen

that it´s gonna eat away at me
or anything.

There´ll be a reason.

We´re still gonna be together.

And, you know,
if it does happen,

it´ll happen
when it´s meant to happen.

I really believe that.

Sorry. I´ve...
Uh...

It´s okay.
It´s okay.

I cried too.

I love you.

Hi, darling.

No, no, it´s good.
I´m well -- I´m well out of bed.

Yes, I´m just up
and getting some exercise.

What about you?

How are the little ones
treating you?

Really?
They are being good for you.

Yeah, I´m just --
I´m just watching the dawn.

Isn´t it beautiful?

Can you see it
from where you are?

Yeah, it´s beautiful.

Mm, you know, it feels like
you´re here with me.

All together again.

Yeah, I hope so.
Soon.

I miss you.

Okay.

Bye.

-Owen Mitchell?
-That´s their latest theory.

I said it was bullshit.

You didn´t know Owen
when he was a cop, did you?

Not really.

By the time I did
the detective course,

he was already
in police prosecution.

Yeah, he worked under a guy
called Aarne Tees

when he first started.

Oh, wow. Now, there´s a famous
name from the bad old days.

Aarne used to type up
a lot of his confessions.

Rumor has it that once or twice

he actually stuck to the story
the offender told him.

Courts accepted
written confessions back then.

Should I take him
more seriously?

Not yet.

No, I´ll ask
a few more questions.

You just stick with Nelson
and Moreno, okay?

Good morning,
Miss Solicitor Advocate.

Hi.

How´s the Clarke matter
traveling?

Still waiting
for Moreno´s wife, Eliza,

to land back in the country.

The defense won´t accept
birth certificates, apparently.

I suppose you knew that?

Yes, they want to hear it
from a live person

because we´re so much
more reliable.

I Googled myself last night.

Feel good?
Sorry, couldn´t help myself.

Tragic, I know, at my age.

Well, the inquiry
might have been abandoned,

but I´m still all over the Net
as the lesbian lawyer

who had an affair
to get promoted.

Not much you can do about it.

I could call up some journos,
maybe?

Could go on the radio,
get the truth out.

-Clear my name.
-Don´t.

I´ve got to do something.

No, no,
I know from bitter experience,

the more you deny an allegation,
the more substance they give it.

The press are jackals.
They´ll twist anything.

Tony, this stuff about me
is all over the Net.

Well, don´t give it
any oxygen.

Now, I know it´s hard
and totally unfair,

but they are bastards,
every last one of them.

Okay, uh, well, it´s no secret
what we´d like to talk about.

Really?
Could have fooled me.

We just want to make sure
you´re certain.

That´s all.

Certain?
Certain of what?

Certain that I can
live with myself

knowing that
I could have helped save

a lot of other girls
but I didn´t?

I could have been an inspiration
to other people like me?

I could have showed everyone
why bastards like Nelson

can´t get away with it?

No, I think
we´ve already said that.

Yeah.
You have.

We´ve all thought a lot
about what you said

after the committal.

Who is we?

Owen and me.

Maya, hi.
Sorry.

Um, Owen´s just called in.
He´s been caught up.

Something´s happened at home,

but he wanted me
to sit in for him.

He knows you can´t spare us
much time, so...

Where were you up to?

-Can we just --
-It´s okay.

No. Uh, sorry.
Sorry, Maya.

Um, can we just...

Just a sec.

-Yeah.

-What do you think you´re doing?
-Me?

You can´t just ask me out
for a private chat.

What do you think that´s telling
her? You don´t want me in there?

She doesn´t want you in there.

Of course she doesn´t!

Because she knows
I get inside her head,

which is why I need to be
in there.

Janet, you´re a witness.

If the defense finds out
you´re in there

having a conference
with the victim,

they´ll have a field day.

How´s that gonna happen?

What are you gonna do,
post it on YouTube?

No.

Then let´s ignore
that objection. Anything else?

It is so inappropriate --

I´m sorry, you´re saying
I´m inappropriate?

Aren´t you facing
an assault charge,

for hitting a defendant
in broad daylight

in front of a dozen witnesses?

You are days away
from facing a criminal record,

and you have the gall
to stand there

and tell me
what´s appropriate?

Do you have any vague notion

of how stupendously hypocritical
that is?

Sorry about that.

Small misunderstanding.
It´s all sorted now.

Let me guess. Don´t tell me.
You got your way?

Maya, I´m not here to trap you
or outsmart you.

The fact is,
at the committal,

you handled yourself
brilliantly.

And you want me to get back up
and say it all again

while he watches me.

While he sits there
and listens to me.

He actually gets to do it to me
all over again

just by hearing me say it.

Why would I do that
to myself?

You once told me that your dad
helped you a lot.

Yeah.

Can you remember what he did
or said?

Well, he made me stronger and
he gave me a lot of confidence,

especially about
making decisions for myself.

Why, do you think
that Dad would say

I´ve let Nelson beat me
if he were around now?

Well, you have at the moment.

Yeah, but that is
my decision, right?

That is --
This is my decision!

It´s not yours!

We understand that, Maya.

We don´t want to talk you
into doing anything

you don´t want to do.

We´re just saying if you want to
change your mind, that´s okay.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that´s different.
Um, no.

We want to make absolutely sure

you won´t regret
a decision you made

at a highly emotional
and very vulnerable moment

when there´s still time
to change it.

Hello, Maya.

Ah, we´ve met before.
Tony Gillies.

Janet, could I see you
in your office?

I´ll be along in a second.

We´re almost done here.

It´s urgent.

Sure.

You, uh...

You really don´t want to get up
in court again, do you, Maya?

No.

Well, it´s not much fun.

If you could
stay out of court

and still see Nelson
get what´s coming to him,

well, that´d be sweet,
wouldn´t it?

Yeah.

Well, the irony is, if you
do agree to give evidence,

you´d probably get your wish.

Because if Nelson knows
you´re gonna be

as strong as you were
at that committal,

well, he´d probably decide
he´s better off pleading guilty.

Really?

Oh, that is
a very likely outcome.

The more determined you are
to stand up in court,

the more likely it is
you won´t have to.

How´s that for a win-win?

Do you know
what I was doing there?

Bringing the integrity
of the office into disrepute?

Indulging in
grossly unethical misconduct?

She´d pulled out of the trial.

I heard, but you can´t be the
one to make her change her mind.

Tony, please, I can´t just hope
that Lina gets it done.

Well, you won´t have to.
I´ve...

-I´ve spoken to Maya.
-And?

Well, she´s thinking about it.

You can´t bend the rules.

Not with David
leading the defense.

If he gets wind
of the slightest grounds

for abandoning this trial,
he won´t hesitate.

Thanks.

How´d it go?
She couldn´t come in later?

Uh, no.
It had to be 9:00.

But she´s agreed
to go to trial.

Great.
Good work.

-Mm.
-Wouldn´t have been easy.

Well, Tony helped.

Tony?

Why the hell
did he get involved?

Lina?

So Janet couldn´t.

Right.

Let´s get to work, then,
shall we?

You know, you can call Owen
a lot of things,

but one thing he´s not
is stupid.

Now he might have a secret plan
to get Nelson off,

but he can´t be seen
to be doing that.

At the same time,
he´s got to look like

he´s going for
an all-out conviction.

But if he is going all out,
it´ll look the same.

It´s...

This is doing my head in.

The closer I look at Owen,
the more cracks I´ve found.

For example, as a young
constable in the drugs squad,

he managed to own two investment
properties before he turned 25.

Well, how did he get
the capital for that?

Was he on-selling the drugs
that he´d impounded?

I don´t know yet.

He was also part of a joint
task force under Steven Blakely.

The managed to lock up
a few bikies

for dealing in -- get this --

rocket launchers
and ammonium nitrate.

Has he kept up contact?

I don´t know.

Now, look,
you´ve got protection 24/7.

Nothing´s gonna happen to you
in the DPP.

You just keep doing
what you´re doing.

I´ll take care
of everything else.

Okay, evidence-in-chief,

areas we need more detail,
order of the offenses.

What have we forgotten?

Did you get on to Drew?

Yeah,
but he´s pretty reluctant.

-Can you explain it to him?
-How´s it going?

We´re looking pretty good,
I think.

What are we doing about a deal?

Well, that´ll come
from the cops, won´t it?

I mean,
now we´ve got Maya back,

weren´t they gonna
sit Nelson down

and explain
the facts of life?

Or you could take
the initiative.

Well, the best time
for me to say anything

will be half an hour
before we start.

No, I don´t agree.
I know David.

Well, you can´t talk to him.

We can agree on that at least,
can´t we?

Maybe, but on the other hand,
he´s still a friend.

He´s a silk, and you´re
a witness for the prosecution.

If you start telling him about
how you got together with Maya

and why Nelson
better take a deal or else,

he´ll get the whole thing
called off before lunchtime.

Okay. Just don´t leave it
to the last second.

David responds
to negotiating time.

Who wants a negotiation?

-He will.
-I don´t.

He´ll want to talk Nelson
around, make him see sense,

feel like
he´s won something --

The only time this is gonna
be real for Keith Nelson

is in the last few minutes
before it starts.

That´s when he might start
thinking, "Shit. This is real.

What if I lose?
What´ll happen to me?"

At that point,
when he´s staring at the abyss,

that´s when a deal looks great.

When he hasn´t got time
to review his options.

Who wants to give him options?

When a guy´s drowning,
you don´t start discussing

the relative merits
of a pool buoy

compared to a life vest
or a piece of driftwood.

You just say, ´Hey, schmuck.

You can drown
or take what you´re given."

That´s our best chance.

-Not with David.
-With anybody.

Owen, don´t be
so bloody minded.

Please just give him
a day or two.

I know it´ll work out better.

Janet, fuck off!

I´m sick of you
trying to run this case.

I bet 100 bucks

you made sure Maya came in
this morning. Am I right?

Thank you.

And then
when she did come in,

Tony had to make sure you didn´t
fuck everything up.

And now you´re trying to
cut a deal with Nelson yourself?

And you know why.

I´m not running this prosecution
to find out who bombed your car.

If we do, that´s great.

But this is about Maya.
It´s not about you.

It´s my job.
Let me do it.

Make sure about Drew.

Fuck!

Don´t you think
Maya´d be a lot happier

if she just dropped
the whole thing?

No.
Not in the long run.

I do.

Well, she won´t.
So wouldn´t you rather help her?

How?

The stronger the case is
against Nelson,

the more likely he´ll settle.

-That´s why we need you.
-I don´t make it any stronger.

Yes, you do.

Why? How?
Look, what can I say?

I didn´t hear him do anything.
I didn´t see him do anything.

Wouldn´t I just be
a stronger witness for him?

You validate the opportunity.

What?

Keith Nelson is saying

that the whole first weekend
never happened.

But according to Maya,
they babysat you and her

while your mum and dad
had a weekend away.

But Keith Nelson says
they were there the whole time.

And without you, we have
no independent evidence

to support what Maya´s saying.

-You don´t?
-No.

She says one thing.
They say another.

But you told the police that
that weekend alone with them

did definitely happen.

-Yeah.
-And that´s crucial.

That´s why Maya needs you.

Right. I see.
This is so...

I´ll do it.

For Maya´s sake.

Thanks.

Thought I´d give you
an update

on how Owen got a deposit
for those two apartments.

He´s on the payroll of
an international drug cartel?

No, he was, as a youngster,
put into a surveillance room

and had to listen for hours
on end on phone conversations.

Anyway, he overheard
how someone had a horse

and they were fixing a race
so it could chalk up a win.

Put his life savings on it

without telling anyone,
you know?

Cleaned up.

So he´s an opportunist?

Well, he was back then.

But not a real player?

I don´t really know
what to say.

I mean, when you look
at the overall picture,

there´s still a lot of questions
that have to be answered.

We still haven´t proven
that Moreno and Blakely

actually knew each other.

What about Renmark´s USB?

Were any of the photos taken
at Blakely´s beach house?

No. They were all from overseas
as far as I know.

I only saw a handful.

Pretty awful, really.

I know that whenever
we do catch them, they just say,

"Oh, we just love children."

In their eyes, it´s not about
dominance or power.

They just love them.

But if it was up to me,
fucking castration.

Very tempting.

Then you look at what we´ve done
with the Internet now,

there´s nothing you can´t get.

Yeah.

When I was a kid,
my mother said to me,

"Giacomo, don´t take lollies
from strangers."

That was it. There was nothing
else I had to worry about.

I hope you listened to her.

She made sure I did.

And if I didn´t,
it was bed, no dinner.

Harsh.

Yeah.

She loved me.

I bet she´s really proud
of what her boy´s achieved.

Yeah.

I don´t envy you, you know?

Bringing up twins
in this world is...

I´m not at the moment.

No.

And that´s why I´m here.

Just to reassure you that
everything´s gonna be okay.

Yeah.

David.
Quick word?

Please, let me handle this.

Let me guess -- You´d like to
drop all the charges.

No, I´m just wondering how your
client´s feeling about things.

Anxious, but confident.

You sure he doesn´t want to
change his plea?

Not a chance.

He does know
jail´s a real possibility?

Maya´s gonna be
very convincing.

Is she?

Come on, think about your client
for a second.

Ten years. Two years.
There´s a big difference.

My client
maintains his innocence

and will be
vigorously defending himself --

Bullshit.
He´s into little girls.

He has been for decades.

His friends in high places
can´t get him out of this,

no matter what he thinks.

No jury´s gonna believe him
over Maya and Drew together.

Well, that remains
to be discovered.

David, if you were doing
your job properly,

you´d make him see what he´s
facing and make him understand

that his only faint hope
of getting off lightly

is to tell us what he knows
about others like himself.

If you´re talking about me,
I´m right here.

Please, it´s all right.

What´s happening?
Is this it?

Yes. If they walk in together,
it´s a plea deal.

If not, the trial´s on.

Is this about a deal?

It´s okay.
I haven´t agreed to anything.

I will never plead guilty

to this evil piece
of teenage fantasy.

Not for anything.

You cannot prove it.

You cannot intimidate me
into some sort of

cowardly confession.

And for your information,

I´m well aware why you don´t
want to run this trial.

An acquittal will hurt you
a lot this year,

won´t it, Mr. Mitchell?

-Shit.
-What? No!

-You all said this...
-It´s never guaranteed.

Thanks for the offer,
but no thanks, Owen.

You ready?

Let´s nail this arrogant shit.

Can you talk to him?
You used to work with him.

Please. Please.

I can´t.

It´ll spoil everything.
We have to go with it.

-I´m so sorry.
-No, I can´t.

-Maya. Maya.
-No, I can´t do it!

Good morning, Maya.

It´s been a long time.

You hate him, don´t you?

Just keep hating him.

Okay?

Yeah.

Maya, how old were you

the first time Mr. Nelson
visited your bedroom?

Seven.

Could you speak up for the court
a little bit, please?

I was seven.

And why was Mr. Nelson
in the house?

He and his wife
were taking care of us.

My parents were away
for the whole weekend.

Was this
a regular occurrence?

What?

Being looked after by Mr. Nelson
and his wife?

Could you speak up for the court
a little bit, please?

Yes.

Can you describe for us
what happened

when he came into the room?

He sat on the edge of my bed,

and he asked me
why I still had the light on.

And I told him
that I was scared of the dark

and that I always
kept the light on.

And then he said
that he would show me

that there was nothing
to be afraid of.

And then what happened?

Well, then he turned off
the light and it was...

It was so dark,
and he took me by the hand,

and he squeezed it --

squeezed it really tight,
and he told me that I was brave.

But I didn´t feel very brave.

Then he lifted up the doona,

and he rolled into the bed
next to me,

and he said that he would
stay there for a while

until I got used to the dark,

uh, stopped feeling scared.

And we stayed like that
for quite a long time.

I didn´t like it.

He was big,
and he smelled weird.

And he was breathing
really heavily.

It´s like all I could hear
was this breathing.

And then he put his hand
on my tummy.

He said
that it would make me calm

and that it would, um,
stop the butterflies in there,

and he laughed
when he said that,

but I didn´t think
it was very funny.

And then slowly...

...really, really slowly...

...almost as if it wasn´t
even happening, he...

...he moved his hand

down into
the front of my pajamas...

...and right down.

His hand was hot and big.

It was like, um...

It was like a giant paw.

And I couldn´t move because

on one side of me was the wall,
and he was on the other side.

I was sure that if
I stayed really still,

he might just go away.

But he didn´t.

He put his fingers inside me.

Too many of them.

And I got tears in my eyes.

I remember them rolling down
the back of my throat,

and I was scared
that I was gonna...

I was scared I was gonna cough
or make a noise.

I was just so sure that

if I stayed perfectly still

and really quiet, it would...

...it would be just like
I wasn´t there.

Did Mr. Nelson
ever do this to you again?

Yeah.

It wasn´t always the same,
though.

Sometimes it was, um...

...it was worse.

Okay.

Let´s go through them
one by one,

as many as you can remember.

You right for tomorrow?

Sure.

-Did Maya finish?
-Yeah.

Sinclair only asked
three or four questions,

so you´re first up, then Drew.

Owen?

Just trying to juggle
some appointment times tomorrow.

How long do you think Janet´s
going to be giving evidence for?

An hour or two.
She should be done by lunch.

Unless Sinclair starts
some lengthy cross-examination.

So if we say 3:00 p.m.,
that should be safe?

Should be.

And then how many days have been
set aside for this matter?

Three or four.

So Lina should be free
next week?

I hope so.

Unless something
unexpected occurs.

Yeah.

Good.

What?

All those little back-room
beavers finally found something.

-Drew Blakely.
-Yeah.

It was in a frame in his old
bedroom in Steve´s house.

-So?
-On the back.

Moreno Photography.

He´s known Steve Blakely
for at least five years.

Steve.

What were you doing?

Owen really gets under
your skin, doesn´t he, Tracey?

We know where he went
the other morning.

That´s all I´m saying.
Not judging.

-Where, a brothel?
-Worse.

-A radio station?
-Uh, television, actually.

Television?

Well, he met Karen Shaw,
journo from "News in Focus."

Right. Well, thanks for
this information.

You didn´t get it illegally?

We looked
at his phone´s call register.

Which is not a breach
of the Digital Copyright Act.

We didn´t forward it
to another phone.

Right, so you called Karen Shaw
and confirmed the meeting?

Yes.

Owen´s in his office.

The court just adjourned
for lunch.

G´day.
Things still going well for us?

Yeah, pretty good.

Janet was fine.

Drew on after lunch,
and then it´s their turn.

Do you know Karen Shaw?

I take it that´s a yes.

Met her once or twice.

Why?

Nothing important.

What´d you talk to her about?

Protecting our sources.

Sources of what?

Listen, Tony,

let me just say that I have
never given her any information

about any matter I or anyone
else here is prosecuting

or has prosecuted.

What information
did you give her?

How´d you find out
I´d met her?

Oh, don´t you question me, Owen.
I´m bloody furious about this.

No one in here goes to the press
behind my back.

Absolutely no one.

We are a huge target, and the
only way I can protect us all,

collectively and individually,

is by putting myself
between those doors

and all the press outside.

Now, if you want to continue
working here --

In fact, if you want to
even finish this trial,

you´ll tell me
what went on in that meeting.

No fudging, no bullshit.

Why did you go to the press?

Tell me now,
or you can fuck off!

Drew, can you confirm

that Mr. and Mrs. Nelson
stayed with you and your sister

on the June long weekend
15 years ago?

Yes.

And they were looking after you
because your parents were away?

That was the situation,
wasn´t it?

Uh, no.

They were there, actually.

They were in the house

with you
and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson?

Yes.

But that isn´t
what you told police.

-No.
-So that evidence is a lie?

Yes.
But I couldn´t say till now.

I, um -- I´d never want to
do anything to hurt Maya,

but I have to be fair
to Mr. Nelson too.

Fair in what way?

Well...

He wasn´t the one
creeping into Maya´s bedroom.

It was Dad.

-You liar!
-Order.

-I´m sorry.
-Order!

Excuse me, are you telling
this court

that your sister was in fact
abused by your father?

Yes.

Drew, that´s...

Your Honor, I ask that
this witness be declared hostile

and seek leave
to cross-examine.

Yes, I believe
that you have sufficient grounds

for that request, Mr. Crown.

You dictated a statement
to Constable Caroline Martin

on the 2nd of this month
and signed it at 8:09 p.m.

-Is that a fact?
-Yes.

And yet not once
in this statement

did you mention that your father
abused your sister.

-No.
-Therefore you lied, yes?

Yes, but only ever for Maya.

Nevertheless,
why should we believe you

now you´re
a self-confessed liar?

I mean, who knows
when you´re lying?

Why would I lie about this?

You and your dad
didn´t get on well, did you?

No.

To put it bluntly,
you didn´t like him.

Would you, when you know what
he was doing to his daughter?

But was he?

Or are you just using this
situation to put the boot in

now he can´t fight back?

No, I´m stopping an innocent man
from getting convicted.

Well, are there any other
instances of abuse

you haven´t told anyone
up until now?

Plenty.

You´d have to say that,
wouldn´t you?

Because otherwise
what you´ve just said

wouldn´t sound right,
would it?

He picked on me all the time.

-How?
-What do you mean, how?

Well, what constitutes abuse?

How´s Owen going?

Did he get angry when you didn´t
put the dishes in the sink?

For God´s sake.

Well, we haven´t
heard anything yet.

You know he´s the one who spread
the rumor to the press

about you and Erin?

-Prick.
-Yep.

And you´ve waited a lifetime to
get him back, haven´t you, Drew?

Whatever it takes.

And I put it to you, that´s why
you´d lie about him and Maya.

When I was five years old,

my dad took us down to the beach
after school one day.

But he said,
"Don´t go on the rocks,"

because they had all these,
like, oyster shells on them.

Jagged, sharp things.

But I was collecting pebbles,
and when the tide came in,

the only way back
was over the shells.

So I called out for help.

But he just stood there.

Five.
I was five years old.

Every step,
I cut myself more.

He didn´t lift a finger.

He just stood there,
watching me.

And it was agony.

My feet covered in blood,

and he just stood there
and fucking watched!

Mr. Blakely.

I´d call that abuse.
Wouldn´t you?

And when I told him
I couldn´t ride my bike

without training wheels,
he pushed me down a hill.

-The feet of Blakely´s corpse.
-What?

Whoever killed him
cut up his feet, remember?

What more proof do you need?

-Renmark wasn´t my mate.
-Was he in on the scoop too?

Both have a good laugh
about the big lesbian scandal?

You ever do anything
like that again,

I´ll make sure
you lose your job.

I called you on your mobile.
You could have been anywhere.

I wasn´t anywhere.
I was here.

I do not like to be made
to look like a liar!

Danny Novak!

What are you doing?!

Let him go!

Either give me something I can
use, or you´re wasting my time.

If they know that I told you
this, they will kill me.

You head
straight to the safe house.

You do not call anyone.
No one.

Stay there
until you hear from me.

-Thank God.

I was just about...
