The Twelve (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
But first we cross to reporter, Ben tan,
for the first day of the murder trial
that not everyone agrees is a murder.
What I believe is that a jury
will find that my daughter
was an innocent teenager
who was in the wrong hands.
Members of the jury panel,
if your number's drawn,
please stand and make
your way to the jury box.
Six, one, zero, one, seven.
Anyone else feel like
they're at a 12-step meeting?
Oh, how was the jury duty thing?
- Did you get out of it?
- Yeah.
They let you off?
You don't have to be here.
I can't be anywhere else.
Are you sure that they're not going
to bring up what we spoke about?
I got selected for jury duty.
This won't stop you
coming to my night classes.
Two nights a week.
Someone's gotta do the paperwork.
or else we might spook the buyers.
I'm on the jury.
Did you get put on that jury after all?
- I was gonna tell you.
- When?
Jamie.
There is no real evidence
and there is no body.

'Cause I'll have to impose
a penalty shot if you're not.

Oh, my god.
That was awesome.
That was awesome. Did
you see that, Kate?
It was totally awesome.
Hey, Kate, do you have a spare charger?
Ah, yeah, it's on the kitchen bench.
It's exquisite.
Come here.
- Come here.
- Mhh-mhh.
How much have you had to drink?
- Hmm?
- Would you relax?
You've got your process
and I've got mine.
I don't want you throwing up
all over my studio, alright?
Why only blue?
Oh, I didn't do it.
That's a Bowerbird.
It's how the males court the females.
Really?
I'd like a man to do that to me someday.
Just the one beauty.
Daddy, where's mummy?
Just give her a minute, sweety.
She's just using the bathroom.
Hey.
Did you get any sleep?
Me neither.
Hey.
Come here.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
I just
..Lying, I just
..I can't do it, George.
I'm sorry.
It was really unfair
of me to lie to you,
and I should have told you.
I should
Hang on, I should get
the kids ready for school.
And pick-up? How do we handle that?
Ah, Gabby's just gonna
help out for a little bit.
You know that Gabby just wants
- to get in your pants, right?
- That's not true.
Do you want her in your pants?
Hey.
I'm really sorry, Jamie, ok?
Hey.
Maybe you could pick the kids up.
I'll make dinner
tonight. How about that?
Try to look human for
the crew, will you, mate?
Fuck off.
Fellas.
- Hey, luiz.
- Hey.
Key for lift.
My friend. I bring for you.
Salute.
Morning.
I told you to clean up
the books, you idiot.
Oh, here we go.
We get caught paying
cash in hand to illegals,
we can kiss the deal goodbye.
We're not gonna get caught.
No. No we're not, mate.
- 'Cause that shit ends today.
- That shit?
That shit that dad taught us?
That shit that fed and
clothed your hairy ass?
Don't give me that sentimental bullshit.
Listen, mate, I'll be fucked
if I'm gonna meet the deadline
on this next stage, if
you're off on jury duty.
Being late won't blow the fucking deal.
Getting shut down by worksafe will.
Listen, mate, if you're gonna nag me,
you better be giving out
gobbies on Friday night
because you know what?
Helen could really use a break.
Sort it out. Now.
I want him gone, flip,
and anyone else here who shouldn't be.
Oh, what am I, hey?
A tele-fucking-marketer or something?
Allen, you nearly gave
me a heart attack man.
Don't screen my calls, mate.
I'm thinking you're fucking avoiding me.
Oh no, I've been pretty caught up
with this whole jury duty trial thing.
I told Christo I was off the grid, yeah.
I had to get a suit and a new haircut.
- But I'm getting paid, though.
- Breathe, mate. It's ok.
I'm not here to collect.
Yet.
Ah, it's good to see ya.
I got a proposition for ya.
Oh no, I'm gonna be pretty busy
for the next couple of months
with the trial. It's a murder trial.
Yeah, I know.
I've got this investor friend
who's fucking fascinated by it,
and wants to pay you to
give him the inside story.
- How much?
- 7k.
Which, by a remarkable coincidence,
it's exactly what you owe
Christo this month, yeah?
- Is Christo running a book on this?
- Don't be dumb.
Who'd bet on a coin toss
with desperate scum like you
- on the fucking jury, hey?
- Then why?
Well, I'll tell you what, Sherlock.
You use your detective
skills on your jury mates,
see which way they're leaning,
who's got a reason to
vote one way or another,
and if my investor
finds it useful enough,
seven grand of your
sizeable debt disappears.
Can I think about it?
- Sure.
- Zeus?
Ripley?
You done?
'Cause you've tried my
Patience before, yeah?
Fucking idiot.
So, what's the judge like?
Playing for the defence?
It's too early to tell.
It's his first murder, so baby steps.
He doesn't seem too dazzled by Colby.
I am not looking forward
to being cross-examined
by that slippery prick.
Funny, that's what
his ex-wife calls him.
Which one love?
All jokes aside, you are
not to underestimate him.
Looks like another
bikie trial's starting.
It's Steve Dokic.
The 'darkroom rapist.'
There was a moment
during Colby's opening
where Kate was almost
physically shaking.
She was looking straight at him.
- What's he in doing court?
- Doesn't matter.
You need to get rid of him
or Colby will accuse us
of disrupting the trial.
He should be a witness.
Nothing about '92 is
admissible, alright?
Not a word. Not even a whisper.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
UN-fucking-believable.
Leave it with me.
Anyway, right now you
need to concentrate.
Would you please state
your name, rank and station.
Detective sergeant Samantha
Chedid, homicide squad.
Thank you, detective.
Could you please tell us
how the disappearance of Claire Spears
first came to police attention?
Mr Colby, is there any objection
to the crown leading evidence
from the missing persons case?
No, your honour, it is not in dispute.
On Monday, 16 September, 2019,
Diane Spears told Chatswood
police her 14-year-old daughter
had disappeared from Kate Lawson's home.
And what was the police's response?
Detective Shane Chapman notified
the 'missing persons unit'
and led a team of
officers to Castlecrag.
And do the police respond this way
to every missing person's report?
Claire was very young
and possibly vulnerable.
- The circumstances
- I'm sorry.
Why did you use the word 'vulnerable?'
well, because she was on her own.
And the circumstances of her
disappearance were unusual.
And it was nearly two days
since she was last seen.
Ok, team, gather round.
I'm going to need you to door
knock the whole street, ok?
Anything suspicious they heard or
saw between 9:00 PM Saturday night
and 11:00 Sunday morning.
Strange vehicles, unexplained
sounds, odd people.
Ok, go to it.
So, when I got home
from dropping Amita off
at about 10:00 PM,
Claire's door was closed
and I assumed she was
sleeping, or still sulking.
And her bed was slept in?
Well, yeah. She wouldn't
have left in the dark.
Any particular reason
she'd leave at all?
- Come this way.
- Thanks.
Diane, what are you doing?
Tea, on the terrace.
Do you know if Claire's
phone was charged?
Oh, I don't know.
She often lets it run low.
Actually, it was definitely charged.
Amita put it on the
charger in the kitchen.
I um
I called her and left
voicemails at 10:07 PM,
7:00 AM, 11:13 AM and then
a series from 4:00 PM onwards
when the school called to
say that she wasn't there.
You called her phone?
Even though you thought
she was in the bedroom?
I do the same thing myself.
Sometimes it's the only
way to get her to answer.
Excuse me, detective Chapman?
One of the neighbours has cctv.
Has Claire ever run away before?
Is this the footage retrieved
from the neighbour's security system?
Yes, from 88 Cheyne Walk, Castlecrag,
directly opposite Kate Lawson's home.
At 9:03 PM, Amita James left
the house via the front door
and got into the passenger
seat of Kate Lawson's car.
Kate Lawson got in after her.
She was gone for
approximately 50 minutes.
Kate Lawson returned alone at 9:58 PM.
Did the cctv show anyone
leaving or entering
after Kate Lawson came home that night?
Nobody.
Your honour, I believe madam
crown should clarify that matter.
Is it the case that the cctv
only captures the front
of Kate Lawson's property?
That's right.
The bushland at the back of the property
isn't covered by cctv.
Thank you, madam crown.
Your honour, I tender the footage.
It will be marked exhibit a.
So, apart from door
knocking the neighbourhood,
what else was involved
in the investigation?
Police worked alongside
Claire's mother, Diane,
to reach out to family and friends.
Claire's school contacted the students.
Airport, train and bus
stations were all alerted.
We checked Claire's bank accounts,
her rideshare and opal accounts.
We monitored her social media.
And what was the result of all
these hours spent searching?
Nothing.
Not a single trace of a 14-year-old
schoolgirl missing for two days?
No sign at all.
Detective, how did
homicide become involved
in the investigation?
Chapman sent me a video.
Members of the jury,
the judge warned you that
there might be evidence
in this trial that may be distressing.
I ask for your fortitude.
Detective, would you identify
the footage on the screen, please?
It's video found on Claire's phone.
It was recorded at 8:57 PM
on the night of September 14th, 2019.
We're up to exhibit B.
Thank you, Mr Colby. I believe
madam crown knows what she's doing.
So do I, your honour.
Detective Chedid, when did you first
speak to the accused, Kate Lawson?
At 5:45 PM on Monday 16 September, 2019.
Ms Lawson and her sister, Diane Spears,
were providing police with information
about Claire's contacts.
Kate Lawson, I'm detective Chedid.
I'm here to interview you
in connection with the
disappearance of Claire Spears.
You're not required
to do or say anything,
but anything you do or say
could be used in evidence.
Has something happened?
Diane Spears, this premises is
now considered a crime scene.
You'll have to leave.
Ms Lawson, could you remain
seated while we conduct a search?
Please tell me what's going on.
Why are they searching the house?
What has Nathan said to you?
She's run away.
My daughter has run away.
- You should be looking for her.
- Chappie, can you
I'll need your phone,
laptop and any other devices.
What the fuck is going on? Kate?
It's fine. I'm fine. Go.
Could you please read that.
I really hope we don't have
to watch that video again.
- You got kids?
- Yeah, little ones.
God, that makes it worse.
And I wonder what Kate Lawson
could possibly say for herself.
Oh, she won't give evidence.
Not unless things are
going very badly for her.
I watch all the crime dramas.
The accused is not required to testify.
We cannot draw any
conclusions about her guilt,
based on whether she does or doesn't.
Kubba.
- It's homemade.
- Has that got meat in it?
I'm actually a vegan.
Lamb, rice, spices.
Mm, perhaps a little bit rich, for me.
Help yourselves.
- You ok?
- Yeah, no, I just
I think this case is just
gonna get to me a little bit.
Makes two of us.
Oh.
- Kibbe?
- Homemade.
Sorry. I'm off carbs.
We're back in.
Very generous, Farrad. Thank you.
Yes, well, I shouldn't,
but they do look lovely.
Thank you.
Come on, we'll be late.
Detective, could you please
identify this footage?
It's the video recording
of the search of Kate Lawson's premises
and the bushland surrounding it.
Here.
Photographs from Kate Lawson's laptop.
I seek to tender that, your honour.
- No objection.
- I'll have that handed to my associate.
And we'll Mark it exhibit C.
Detective.
The school uniform
belonging to Kate Lawson
stained with red acrylic paint.
- I tender that, your honour.
- No objection.
Exhibit number H.
Black and white photographic
prints of Claire Spears.
The crown tenders those, your honour.
- No objection.
- Exhibit number I.
A proof sheet series of Claire Spears
tying knots in ropes.
What was inside the retractable cutter?
Claire Spears' blood.
Mr Colby, do you object to the
crown leading forensic evidence?
Your honour, there is no dispute
that the blood found within
the retractable cutter
has been matched by forensics
to that of Claire Spears,
and I'll be cross-examining
the forensic analyst
later in the week.
Thank you, Mr Colby.
The accused participated
in a record of interview
on 16 September, 2019, at
Chatswood police station.
Yes.
Your honour, I intend to play the
recording of the interview now.
You need to speak to Amita
James, Claire's friend.
Chapman has all of her details.
Amita recorded that.
The light at the end is
me coming through the door.
I caught them at it
and I put a stop to it.
What are they doing?
They call it 'scarfing.'
it's stupid teenage girls showing off.
They pretend that they're engaging
in auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Is this why I'm here?
You think she's dead?
No, no, no, you need to speak to Amita.
Claire is very much
alive, and she's missing.
Were you aware Claire and Amita
were recording high-risk behaviours
- in your home?
- No, I put a stop to it.
I drove Amita home.
I tried to confiscate Claire's
phone but she was too quick.
Well, how did it end
up under your fridge?
I think that's a question
for Nathan Spears, don't you?
There were other videos
on Claire's phone.
Her devices, her social media
feeds show other risk-taking.
What, like drinking?
Kids drink. They all do.
I just prefer that they did it
where they were safe and supervised
and not in the back of a
panel Van in a Macca's carpark.
Are you aware that grooming is
against the law in this state?
I am not grooming my niece.
You've admitted you
provided your underage niece
with intoxicating substances.
It's the occasional glass of wine.
And you've exposed her
to indecent material.
My art is not indecent.
Do you photograph Claire
masturbating on a staircase
in a school uniform?
She's not masturbating,
she's exploring her own menstrual blood.
Well, did you ask her
to writhe in ecstasy
while exploring her period blood?
That is such a reductive
way to describe a young woman
exploring the power of her own beauty.
So you find beauty in a
teenage girl masturbating?
I think that question says so
much more about you than me.
Review the transcript
Mark that exhibit M.
What happened next in the investigation?
We obtained a warrant to place
Kate Lawson under surveillance
and monitor her phone, email
and other communications.
Did you continue to
search for Claire Spears?
In cooperation with Chatswood
and the state-wide unit,
we carried out a full
missing person's investigation
in the hope Claire Spears
would be found alive.
When did that stop?
On 1 November, 2019,
a family group picnicking at
flat rock beach in middle harbour
found a Norwich ladies college
school tie washed up on the sand.
Could the witness be handed this?
Is this the tie you just referred to?
Yes.
Detective, could you tell the jury
what name is sewn into the
back of that school tie?
Claire Spears.
Journalists tell me it's
already looking bad in there
for your sister.
Fuck her.
I know she's grieving, but so are you.
Margaret.
- Cheese and tomato toastie.
- Bless you.
- Thank you.
- And Georgina, chicken pot pie.
Thank you.
You don't think it's
premature to tally votes
until we've heard all the
evidence, and all the witnesses?
People are gonna change
their minds either way.
Might as well find out
where we stand day by day.
Someone's got a business to
run. Let's get cracking, people.
Would it make me a racist or a
misogynist to make fun of you?
I don't understand the detective
making such a song and dance
about a bit of menstrual blood.
Oi. Lunchtime.
Should women pretend we
don't bleed every month?
Does anyone know Kate
Lawson's date of birth?
Why?
Well, the more we know, the better.
Well, what does her birthday
got to do with anything?
You can just say if you're
not into astrology, Margaret.
Mm, I doubt judge Muir is, either.
There's actually a lot of research
linking astrology and crime.
Sure.
Might as well find out her
favourite colour while we're at it.
Oh yeah, be my guest.
Guys, we're clearly all very different.
We just have to make some
actual space for one another.
Can this dude even hear us?
Hey, 'ocean's 8.'
is that drink from a
vending machine here?
I love this crackhead.
So, what is it you do, mate?
Investment banking.
I do 'M and A' for a boutique outfit.
Yeah, yeah.
Detective Chedid, how long
have you been with the police?
I've been a police officer for 12 years.
And how long have you
been a homicide detective?
I was made detective in 2014
and I joined homicide five years later.
So, at the time of
Claire's disappearance,
you'd been a homicide detective
for, what, three months?
Almost four.
Four months.
Now, exhibit B, detective Chedid,
the video of Claire scarfing.
How was that footage obtained?
The auto-erotic asphyxiation video
came from Claire Spears' phone.
And how was the phone obtained?
Please play the bodycam footage,
as tendered by the crown.
Get out of my house.
Nathan.
What are you doing
here? You're not welcome.
Can you ask him to go?
Get out of my house.
Please leave the house.
- Get the fuck out of my house.
- This is your fault, Diane?
Alright? You gave our little
girl to this fucking witch.
And whatever she's done
to her, you're responsible.
She's run away, that's
it. She just ran away.
She's run away?
Then why did I find her
phone hidden under a fridge?
Mr Spears, please, come on. Come on.
Did you ask Nathan Spears
how he knew where to
look for Claire's phone?
He told me that's where Claire
had hidden her phone in the past,
when he'd tried to confiscate it.
I'd like to show exhibit a,
but this time, the footage
beginning at 8:13 PM.
How do you describe this
event in your report?
Nathan Spears came to
Kate Lawson's house.
He went inside and emerged
moments later with his daughter,
Claire Spears.
Kate Lawson appears
from inside the house,
and after an altercation in
the car, Claire returned inside.
An altercation, yes.
Detective Chedid, are you familiar
with the term 'selective editing?'
in what context?
Exhibit A.
Well, that's 16 hours of cctv
where very little happens.
But something does happen,
does it not, at 8:13 PM?
Didn't you think the altercation
with Mr Spears was both relevant
- and important?
- It's all in the footage.
Which you chose not to show to the jury.
Now, you've described a
caution that you gave ms Lawson
when you entered the house.
Did you similarly caution Mr Spears?
I'm only required to caution a suspect.
Even after he was revealed
to be in possession
of Claire's phone?
He found the phone in
Kate Lawson's house.
The jury have seen the video
of the body-worn camera.
They'll decide that, detective.
At any point, did you
consider the possibility
that Nathan Spears planted
the phone under the fridge?
How would he have it if Claire
and ms Lawson argued over it?
I ask the questions,
detective, you know that.
Is it possible that Mr Spears
planted the phone under the fridge?
It's possible, sure. But likely, no.
I didn't ask if it was likely,
I asked if it was possible.
Now the answer to that is?
- Yes, it's possible.
- Yes, it's possible. Thank you.
- Did you search Mr Spears?
- No.
Is that because you'd already
made your mind up who was guilty
before you even entered
Kate Lawson's house?
- No.
- At any point did you consider
Mr spear a potential
suspect in this case?
There was never any
evidence to support that.
Because you didn't look for any.
- No, I followed the evidence
- You followed what?
A hunch?
You followed the accusations
that Mr Spears himself had made?
No, no.
Tell me this. Would a
more experienced detective
have investigated more than
one suspect in this case
Objection.
Detective Chedid's experience
has been dealt with.
This is a question designed to offend.
Don't test my Patience, Mr Colby.
Thank you, your honour.
Did you ever search his
house in the same way
as you did ms Lawson's?
- I did not.
- Did you comb through his phone,
through his laptop,
through his social media
- in the same way?
- I did not.
No, you did not.
Now, detective, on another matter,
does the fact that Claire's
tie washed up on the shore
rule out the possibility
that Mr Spears, Amita James
or Claire herself dropped it into
any gutter or stormwater drain
that washes into the harbour?
It's my job to reach a conclusion
based upon all the evidence.
Then I put it to you that rather
than consider all the evidence,
you'd already made your
mind up about Kate Lawson.
I disagree.
Well, of course you would.
That's all, your honour.
People of the jury,
did the dad hide the phone
under the fridge or what?
I think it's pretty hard to
tell, from the bodycam footage.
Where did he get it?
Kate told the detective
Claire had the phone
- after her father left.
- Yeah, yeah.
It's pretty weird he
knew exactly where it was.
Suss, eh.
Claire had hidden her phone
under her father's fridge in the past.
Yeah, I don't like the sound
of their relationship at all.
It's a father's job sometimes
to be disciplinarian.
No, I think there's something
off about Nathan Spears.
I don't think I'm the only one.
I just think it's a
little bit early to judge.
Yeah, you're totally right.
It's way too early to split into camps.
He broke into her home
and called her a witch.
- It's abusive.
- Give the guy a break.
His 14-year-old daughter was missing.
There's always a fucking excuse.
Maybe we should all go home.
We've got another two
months in this place.
Yeah, the boss is right.
See you guys tomorrow.
Good evening, Farrad.
And thank you, Farrad,
for a delicious snack.
Looks like we were
the only two to try it.
I've got a confession to make.
I can't eat spicy food.
Gives me indigestion.
Me too.
What did you think of today?
Today?
People have no respect for life.
Or death.
Or kubba.
- Hello?
- Caitlin, hi.
It's Georgina Merrick.
Oh, hi, Georgina.
Ah, Debra passed on your number.
She said that I might call.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's
right. She did mention it.
Look, have you thought
about after school care,
because I don't think our
kids are friends, are they?
I mean sorry?
- Sorry, what was that?
- Later.
- I've gotta go.
- Yeah, no, no, that's fine.
You go, you go. It's fine.
- Sorry I couldn't help.
- Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry, I thought I had
another mum all lined
- It's fine.
- Hi.
- We'll try and work something out.
- It's fine.
- Thanks.
- It's fine.
Ok, everybody say thank you to Gabby.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- See you later, cutie-pies.
- Bye.
- Let's go.
- Alright.
Hey, guys, do you
think when we get home,
that we can pretend to daddy
that I picked you up from after care?
Why?
Because he just, he likes it when I do.
- Me too.
- Me three.
Alright. Just let's not tell daddy, ok?
Last one in the car's a rotten egg.
Hey, hang on, hang on.
Alright, alright, seatbelts.
We're home, we're home.
You go.
Yeah.
Hey, guys, hooks and nooks, please.
Hey. What's for dinner?
Jesus, George, relax.
I'm kidding.
Hey, monsters, guess what?
It's treat night tonight.
What are we having?
Spaghetti bolognaise
and chocolate pudding.
- Yay.
- Yes.
Alright, wash your hands.
That means you too, Billy Elliot.
Get out of here.
Hey.
- Glass of wine for Mrs Merrick?
- Mm.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast.
Mummy first.
Thank you, daddy. This looks delicious.
Mm.
- Top up?
- Yeah.
Why did you wink?
Um, well that's mummy and daddy code.
What's mummy and daddy code?
Um, well, that's what
keeps this family going.
So, it's good they let you out
in time today to pick up the kids.
Because we don't want jury duty
interfering with mummy duty now, do we?
No.
- No.
- No.
About time.
Where are we at with the oh and s audit?
Inspection's Monday.
Yeah, checklist is over there.
Flip!
Flip!
Mate, can you hear me?
Flip!
Shit.
- Can you hear me?
- Hey.
Is he alive?
Yeah. And we're fucked.
- We need to call an ambulance.
- No. No, we can't.
This gets logged in the system,
we'll be busted in a heartbeat.
- What did I fucking say?
- He'll probably come too.
Let's just We'll
just put him in the shed.

It's game over.
Well, what do you suggest then, flip?
It's alright.
There, there.

She was already dead.
Before I walked into that room.
Are you telling me Kate
Lawson killed Belinda Bain?
I'm telling you I didn't.
What do you want?
Lights out.
