The Twelve (2022) s02e06 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 6
- Why'd you put this out?
- It's just old junk mail.
Dad, we're literally doing
what you asked us to do, OK?
Just go home.
You can verify the big man was
at home with you last night?
Yeah.
It's one thing to get
me to lie to the police,
but don't you lie to me.
Bernice Myers?
It's impressive that Bernice
used to go down there.
So it is possible, isn't it,
the light wasn't
working that day,
as my client told police?
That's hard to know because
your client's a liar too.
What is it?
And then there was light.
- Oh
- Hey, sweetie.
- Oh
- Hey, sweetie.
I need to speak to Colby.
Think he's gonna wanna see
you at 1:30am on a Sunday?
I wanna change my plea.
Come on.
Settle down, mate!
- Come on.
- Fuckin'
Come on!
- You fucking
- Settle down! Settle down!
Just settle!
Watch your head.
Watch your head!
Colby.
Alright.
Thanks. Be right there.
It's not the first
time this has happened
in the middle of the night.
Well, you did the
right thing calling me.
Now I need to talk to my
client in private, alright?
Righto.
Thank you.
Now, before you say anything,
I must advise you that anything
you say to me cannot be unsaid.
I must advise you that anything
you say to me cannot be unsaid.
So don't tell me anything.
Just yes or no answers.
You got it?
Yeah.
Do you trust me, Patrick?
Yeah.
Over all the years that
I've been doing this job,
I've learnt this -
that spending weeks in
court gets under your skin.
And this
..this agitation, this anxiety,
it gets even worse at night.
Plays tricks with your head.
I've just been informed
that your child was
brought to visit Sasha.
Was that the first time
you'd seen the baby, Patrick?
Yep.
Sometimes when a man
feels a high level of
concern or responsibility
..for instance, if
he thinks his child
might grow up without a mother
unless he sacrificed himself
Huh.
..it can make a man want
to become a false hero.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Now, this afternoon I came
across some important evidence,
which I intend to
introduce to the court
after I've done
some more digging.
It means recalling a witness
and I believe it'll be very
favourable to your case.
Now, I know you wanted to see me
because you have
something to tell me.
But there's only one
question I have for you now
and there's only one answer
that I want to hear -
yes or no.
Are you guilty of
murdering Mrs Price?
No.
Well, in that case,
Well, in that case,
nothing needs to change.
You don't need to
say anything else.
You just have to
trust me to do my job.
So now I'm going back to
bed and you should too.
We both need our beauty sleep.
Goodnight, Patrick.
Joey?
Joey!
- Hm?
- Pete's dad's been ringing you.
- Three times this morning.
- Oh, fuck.
He's texted now, asking you
to meet him at the oval.
What?
So I've been looking
through some old records
at the council, Mum,
because I noticed that,
you know, you've been talking
a lot about Bells Hills lately.
And I thought maybe you'd
want to talk about Jackson.
So this is a copy of
his Birth Registry page.
You can see it says,
"Jackson Seymour."
He was the little boy
that you had before me.
See, on February 28, 1973,
and he was stillborn.
No.
They took him away.
No, Mum.
He died.
That's why they
wrote 'stillborn'.
They took him away from me.
I heard him.
Mum?
Do you know, I was wondering why
they wrote, "Father unknown,"
and not Dad's name
there, Charlie Watson.
Charlie's my husband.
Yes, he was your
husband. He was my dad.
But I always thought
that you said
he was Jackson's dad as well.
Is that right?
Mum?
Is is the reason why
they didn't write
Dad's name there
because you two
weren't married yet?
Ells Hills girls go
round and round ♪
Mum, look, it's OK.
You can tell me.
O round and round ♪
Oh, gosh.
Washing in the morning ♪
Hello!
I'm so sorry. I just
lost track of time.
- Come in, come in.
- That's OK. No stress at all.
Mum, this is Parvinder. She's
my friend from the jury.
She's taking us to passata day.
Parvinder, this is Marjorie.
Hi, Marjorie. Nice
to finally meet you.
Alright, let's
get your apron on.
Um, I got you one too.
Thank you so much for
coming all this way.
I would not have been
able to do it without you.
OK, keep it moving!
Come on, come on. Eyes on
the ball. Keep the pace up.
Arms up, mate! Take the
ball at its highest point.
Mr McKirney.
Follow through with those kicks!
Yeah, look, uh
..coaching the littlies, my
my heart's not in it now,
you know, what with Pete.
Yeah, so I was gonna ask,
as a favour to me, if
..you'd take over the coaching.
I mean, I
Honestly, I don't think I'm
..I'm the right man for the job.
Of course you are.
Of course you are.
You're an AFL draftee!
The kids all look up to you.
The clubs's already
approved, all the parents.
You just have to say yes.
Hey, hey.
I can't think of a better bloke
to pass the baton on to.
Yeah!
Hands up if you
love pasta sauce!
Ahh!
Wow!
Wow!
How you doing?
Wow. Looking good.
She's adorable.
Um, OK, do you want to wash up
or you can score
or you can bottle?
I'm a vault.
Do you think Winston's coping
with the foreman position?
Well, he's a bit of a grouch,
but, no, I think he's
doing a good job.
Yeah, I don't know. It's just
I think he'd be too proud to say
anything if he wasn't coping.
Hmm.
Oh! Look who's here.
Yeah, Nina.
Oh, she's she's married
to my second cousin.
Well, should we be here, then?
The rules are very strict.
I think it's OK.
We just won't go near
her or talk to her.
Just keep your distance.
Back in a sec.
No, it's OK. I'm gonna
have to leave anyway.
There are jurors here.
A serial number, OK?
Are you able to look into it?
Yeah, I can take it down
on my phone. Read it out.
Yeah, I can take it down
on my phone. Read it out.
OK, good. It's LR754X3.
I'll need that by
tomorrow morning, Nina.
And, uh, try not to get
tomato stains on it, alright?
Thank you, Nina.
OK.
Hey.
- Claudia
- No, I know, I know.
- I can't talk to you.
- It's not about the trial.
Um, I've got a friend who
needs some legal advice.
This is Brett Colby.
Leave a message.
And here I was, imagining
a delicious Sunday.
And here I was, imagining
a delicious Sunday.
Hmph! What happened?
Did you self-combust
with the shock of
falling asleep in my bed?
Seriously, Colby, where
are you? Can you call me?
Um, yeah, just when
you get a minute.
Hope you're having
a lovely day. 'Bye.
God!
But when can we expect 'em?
Yep.
What the fuck?
Hey, mate, can I call you back?
Mr Bevan.
Hard at work on a Sunday
morning. How commendable.
What are you doing here?
I was intending to buy dog food,
but obviously I
have the wrong door.
Dog food?
Obviously.
I'm guessing this is the
back door to your office.
- Yep.
- Right.
Splendid. Well,
sorry to disturb.
See you back in court.
This is it? That's
what Colby presented?
What happened to
the plea change?
I don't know. Seems like Colby's
talked him out of it somehow.
Good morning!
You got the documents?
Well, then I think
we can all agree
that you need to
recall this witness,
the well-digger.
I'll raise it with the judge.
You know, I was anticipating
something different
this morning.
Oh, what would that be?
Never mind.
If I do recall Bevan,
I expect you not to block my
request for an adjournment.
Absolutely. Of course.
Hmm.
You're being very agreeable.
Well, if I know Old Sniffer,
there won't be an adjournment
and we won't need to block it.
But didn't you just love
the look of disappointment
on the little show
pony's little face?
Could've taken me along
on the ride, Brett.
Well, I thought you
could use a day off.
Well, I thought you
could use a day off.
What, a day off scrolling
through posts of my kids
loving New Zealand
with their dad?
Little bastards don't
want to come back.
- Hmm.
- You're a bastard too.
Oh, that's just hearsay.
Well, your magical bit
of evidence better work.
I want to see Liam Bevan
fucked in the eye sockets
for calling my client a liar.
Oh, right.
Well, then in the eye
sockets he shall be fucked.
First things first,
let's get the vet
to say the bloody
steer got shot.
Dr Ferraro, will you
please tell the court
what your occupation is?
I'm a large-animal veterinarian,
but I also have a vet practice
for domestic
animals in Tunkwell.
Four days before
Bernice Price died,
you received a call
from Sasha Price.
- Is that correct?
- Yes, that's correct.
Um, she rang to say
one of the steers
had come down with, uh, BEF.
It's a common
mosquito-borne virus
that causes high fever
and often death in cattle.
That causes high fever
and often death in cattle.
So did you go to Airly Downs
to attend this sick steer?
G'day, Paloma.
Yeah, look, I just wanted to
catch you before you left.
I'm on my way now.
Uh, listen, I'm sorry.
We, um
Mum says that we're gonna
handle it ourselves.
Sasha rang and cancelled
and I assume the animal
had either recovered
or been put down.
How did Bernice Price usually
put down animals on her farm?
Bernice was fond of a gun.
She shot them.
So you received this case
about the BEF on July 15.
So you received this case
about the BEF on July 15.
If the steer hadn't recovered,
could it conceivably have
been shot on July 19?
This is the day that
Bernice Price died.
Yes, that's conceivable.
Is Amethyst Walker,
who heard the gunshot that
day and went to investigate,
a client of yours
at your vet surgery?
Yes, but she doesn't have
livestock, only pets.
When was the last time that
you saw Amethyst Walker
before Mrs Price died?
Nearly four months earlier.
She brought in her dog Milo
after it had been
shot by Mrs Price.
And was the dog alive
when Ms Walker brought
it into your surgery?
No, it was deceased.
And what was Ms
Walker's demeanour like
when she arrived
at your practice?
He's in here.
Oh, my God!
She was absolutely distraught.
Did Ms Walker
express any feelings
Did Ms Walker
express any feelings
towards Mrs Price that day?
She said
..she thought someone should
put Bernice Price down.
She thought Bernice
Price should be put down.
I think she was an
incredibly callous woman.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I mean, why wouldn't you just
call the vet if your cow's sick?
Sometimes suffering's
worse than dying.
Human beings should be able to
euthanise themselves themselves.
Hm.
Hey, um
Hey, I saw you at the
hospital over the weekend.
You were working?
Yeah, I know, but I need
to keep my shifts up.
Hey, if you're going
through something,
you don't need to
hold onto it alone.
You should mind
your own business.
Dr Ferraro, what is
the RSPCA's policy
Dr Ferraro, what is
the RSPCA's policy
on putting down farm animals?
It has to be done
competently, humanely
and without delay.
Now, what is the common name
for BEF, bovine ephemeral fever?
'Three-day sickness'.
Now, the third day
of the cow's illness
would have been July 18.
- Is that correct?
- Yes.
So it would have most likely
been put down on July 18,
the day before
Bernice Price's death.
- Is that correct?
- Yes, most likely.
Dr Ferraro, despite
it being called
the 'three-day sickness',
could an animal
linger for four days?
Yes, three days is most common,
but animals frequently are sick
for four days
before it resolves.
Right, so if the steer
that, um, Sasha Price
called you about on
July 15 was still alive
and Mrs Price was hopeful
that it would recover,
it is entirely possible
that she would have shot it
on July 19, the
day of her death.
On July 19, the
day of her death.
Is that right?
Well, yes, that's
quite possible.
Right, which would account for
the gunshot residue on
her jumper, would it not?
Objection, Your Honour.
The witness is not an
expert on ballistics.
I withdraw the question.
Yes, well, no-one is blind
to your tactics, Mr Colby.
I repent. And no further
questions. Thank you.
We are making an application
to recall a prosecution
witness, Your Honour.
Very well.
I'll ask the jury
to leave the court
for a short break
in proceedings.
At least we're
getting our steps up.
Winston, do you reckon they're
gonna give us the afternoon off?
Let's wait and see how
long the discussion takes
before we give
ourselves an early mark.
Ah, it's here! Special delivery
courtesy of my husband.
For those of you
who couldn't make it
to Claudia's family
passata day yesterday,
I brought you all a bottle.
Oh, lovely!
You're welcome.
That's probably the best one.
No, that was the best
one. I chose it for you.
I could use it for tomato
paste on my pizzas
Hey, are you
looking for someone?
Oh, um, the jury had a
question for the prosecutor
and I was just wondering
where to take it.
Right, well, that
would be to the judge,
but they're all in the court
right now and you can't enter.
- Sorry.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
- Sorry.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
- Thank you.
- No worries.
My decision is
that you may recall
State witness Liam Bevan.
Your Honour, the prosecution
wishes to fully investigate
the new photographic evidence
supplied by the defence.
And as the final documentation
has only just been
delivered to the court,
we are requesting a
day's adjournment.
Your Honour, the new evidence
is very simple and clear,
but Ms Nelson-Moore
and I have no objection
to Mr Prosecutor's request
for an adjournment.
Is the witness here, Mr Colby?
Ready and waiting, Your Honour.
As Liam Bevan was originally
your witness, Mr Prosecutor,
there will be no adjournment.
We'll take a five-minute recess,
then call the jury back in.
As you know, this
conversation never happened.
Mm-hm.
And never text me again
while this trial is on, OK?
This is the name of a family
law solicitor in Perth
who can help your friend.
And to answer your question,
falsifying birth certificates
is a very serious offence,
so she'll have a case, OK?
Hmm.
Now, Mr Bevan, you
testified that Mrs Price
owed you just under $100,000.
I've viewed the
probate documents.
Why are you not listed among
the estate's creditors?
I felt bad for the family,
so I wrote the debt off.
So you wrote off
nearly $100,000?
That is generous
indeed, Mr Bevan.
Right, I need that
money that Mum gave you.
The estate's frozen.
I can't get into her accounts.
I need to pay funeral costs.
I don't have it. I
gave it to Kelly.
- I told you that.
- Hey, Sash.
Oh, Fleur.
Now, the court has
heard that Mrs Price
gave Patrick Harrows $50,000.
The other half is
not accounted for.
- Were you aware of that?
- No.
Your Honour, there
is no evidence
that the witness received
any payment from Mrs Price.
Mr Colby, you may not proceed
with that line of questioning.
- Move on.
- Thank you, Your Honour.
Mr Bevan, where
were you on July 19
between 3:30pm and 4:30pm,
between 3:30pm and 4:30pm,
the day of Mrs Price's death?
I was in my office,
with my staff.
But there's a back door to
your office, is there not?
Well, you bloody
well know there is.
Yes, so you could
have left the office
without the staff being aware?
They would've seen me
leave the premises.
Did you visit Airly
Downs on July 19,
the day of Mrs Price's death?
No.
Did you ever visit Airly Downs
after her death?
No.
Can the witness be shown
exhibit 28, please?
On the right is a
detail of a photo
taken by Senior Constable
Neal Collins on July 19.
On the left is a
detail of a photo
taken by forensic detectives
four days later on July 23.
Is this the light fitting
that you installed?
Yes.
Which one?
Which one?
I'm I'm sorry?
Let's play spot the
difference, shall we?
The light fitting on the
right as captured on July 19
is not the same light fitting
as the one on the left
captured four days later
because the bracket
is subtly different,
isn't it, Mr Bevan?
As you can see, the
original light fitting
was anchored by two single
brackets on each side.
The one from July 23
is anchored by one double
bracket on each side.
So which one did you install?
Well, the original, obviously.
Who installed the replacement?
I don't know.
So between July 19 and July 23,
someone installed a new bracket,
thus tampering with
the crime scene,
thus tampering with
the crime scene,
and you cannot tell us who?
No.
Please show the
witness exhibit 31.
Can you read the serial number
that was found on the
second light fitting?
LR754X3.
Please show the
witness exhibit 32,
which is an invoice
for batch LR754X3.
What recipient is at the
top of the delivery docket?
Liam Bevan.
In other words, you, Mr Bevan.
I want to speak to my lawyer.
Mr Prosecutor is
not your lawyer.
But you may wish to engage one
because you've already
perjured yourself several times
and are guilty of tampering
with a crime scene.
It wasn't a crime scene!
It wasn't a crime scene!
Would you explain that
comment, Mr Bevan?
When I heard that Bernie had
fallen down the well and died,
I knew that WA Safe
would investigate,
so I went out there
and I fixed the light
and the pump electrics,
but that is all I did!
To cover your incompetence
to avoid a large
fine and a lawsuit?
Yes.
So when you previously testified
that there was no
problem with the well,
you were lying,
weren't you, Mr Bevan?
Yep.
As my colleague Ms
Nelson-Moore put it to you,
the light was not working,
so it's entirely
possible that Mrs Price
stumbled in the dark
and fell in the well.
I don't know.
You lied in your
early testimony,
so what else have
you lied about?
Did Mrs Price just offer you
$50,000 and an
altercation followed,
you hit her on the head,
threw her down the well?
- No! It's ridiculous!
- Objection, Your Honour!
The witness has an alibi
for the time of death.
Mr Colby, you are
pushing my limits.
Mr Colby, you are
pushing my limits.
My apologies, Your Honour.
No further questions,
but I do have an
application to make.
Very well, Mr Colby.
I will ask the jury to
leave the courtroom.
Don't worry.
That was good.
You have my attention, Mr Colby.
Your Honour, I
make an application
for the jury to be discharged.
The evidence of Mr Bevan
makes it abundantly clear
that the scene was tampered with
and it would be unlawful
to rely upon any evidence
relating to it as
adduced by the State.
That application is
opposed, Your Honour.
The evidence of Mr Bevan
is not determinative
to the entire State case.
I will take the afternoon
to consider the position.
To consider the position.
I'll deliver a ruling
later this evening.
- Adjourn the court.
- Please rise.
Court is adjourned.
I can't believe he
perjured himself.
I know a hundred
blokes who would
clean up to get out
of a WA Safe issue.
What a fuckin' idiot.
Doesn't mean that he's
guilty of murder, right?
People do all kinds of weird
shit when they're ashamed.
If you do something
wrong, you own it.
Why can't we hear what's
going on in the courtroom?
I'd like all the facts.
Maybe they don't
know all the facts.
Hey, do you think we'd
make a good team, um,
out of the courtroom?
What do you think?
What do you think?
I'm kidding! Oh, my God!
You look terrified.
Oh, look, I
You know I You know
how much I love
I so much look
forward to these
Oh, yeah?
..circuses with you.
But you know me.
I am I am far too selfish
to think about
anything more serious.
Mmm, you and your whisky
and your smelly cigars.
And I would hate you to be
my my fourth ex-wife.
What makes you think I'd
marry you, you old egoist?
Hmm.
But it is different
this this time. It is.
And not just because
of your, um
You know, your
situation at home.
You think all this time
together is bad for our souls?
No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying it was
probably unavoidable
that one of us would be
..a little more open.
Yeah.
Anyway, perhaps it's time
we did some more work
on tomorrow's witnesses
'cause I don't think it's
a foregone conclusion
His Honour will scupper
the whole trial.
Well, um, if you need
to run anything by me,
you know where I am.
Yeah, good, good.
So so no dinner?
Oh, not tonight. I think
I'm done with Italian.
No, quite, quite.
Yeah. Jolly good.
See you tomorrow.
Um
I'd like to run
something past you.
Fine. I'll just get Colby.
Just you, Meredith.
Can I come in?
No, um
I'll, um Let
me think about it.
I'll, uh
..I'll text you.
Sure.
No!
It wasn't the roller rink
that got me pregnant, Mum.
It was the fact I knew
nothing about boys.
Shh! We are not talking
about this now, OK?
If you hadn't
sheltered me so much,
If you hadn't
sheltered me so much,
if you'd given me a chance
to learn how the world works,
then maybe I wouldn't have
let him have sex with me.
I told you not to
go near boys at all.
That's why I had no
idea how to handle it.
And you're making the same
mistakes all over again, Ma.
I honestly don't know what's
got into you all of a sudden.
Every single day, I am
listening to a horror story
about a toxic mother
and her daughter.
'Toxic'? Nice.
What you did was illegal.
You falsified her
birth certificate.
What do you want, Claudia?
I want her to have these.
I don't care if you say
you got them for her.
You can be the hero.
I just want her to have them.
Spit out whatever
it is, Persand,
so I can get the
hell out of here.
- I've got a proposition for you.
- Of course you do.
After what Colby did today,
you know you're gonna lose.
I doubt you'll get a mistrial.
Hm, we'll see.
Tell me, is Colby the ringmaster
of the circus or are you?
Uh, we work together as a team.
Yeah, well, then Colby
must have told you
that Patrick Harrows
wanted to change his plea
in the wee hours of Sunday.
Hm, didn't think so.
I got a call from the
cell guard at 1:30am.
Patrick was demanding
to speak to his lawyer,
blubbering about a plea change.
I encouraged him to call Colby
and I watched him walk over
there with my own eyes at 2am.
This morning, no plea change
and Colby didn't tell you.
Lawyer-client privilege.
What else don't you know?
OK, well, whether
that's true or not,
I still don't understand
what I'm doing here under
this fucking bridge,
because there's zero chance of
my client changing her plea,
so this conversation
is now over.
Jesus Christ, Persand.
I'm starting to think Sasha
could be covering for Patrick.
You put her in that witness
box, I'll do the rest.
I'll go easy on her.
Can you hear what you
sound like, Persand?
Colby's client is
clearly guilty.
Colby's client is
clearly guilty.
I may not nail both,
but I will get one.
I'm sure we'd both
rather it be the one
who was ready to plead guilty
before your so-called
ally talked him around.
OK, I think we get it.
See you in court.
Alright, Castle Trivia, we
are done. Congrats, guys.
Alright, same time next Monday,
come along, win some money, win
some prizes, make some friends,
a fun night at Castle Trivia.
So good to see you,
so good to see you.
I know what you want,
but I can't give you any,
especially not here.
I haven't come here for gummies.
I came here to, uh
..to apologise to you
for what my daughter did.
She had no right to
threaten you or replace you.
I wasn't even aware of
it till it was too late.
Anyway, I I put my foot down
and it's none of her business
who I have to my house.
I'm worried about you.
Don't worry.
- I can give you something.
- No.
Let's just Let's
get out of here first.
No, no, no, no.
It's alright.
- Are you sure?
- Come on. Yeah.
I can't sleep with you here.
Sorry, babe. I'll
I'll come in.
Joey, I am done. I
want you to leave.
OK, hold on. Hold on, babe.
I can't
You know, I just
I'll go in the morning.
Hm?
Now.
My son hasn't been
to see me at all
since I gave him an earful
about throwing my things away.
I mean, you haven't exactly
made it easy on them.
I mean, you haven't exactly
made it easy on them.
How are they supposed to know

Ah. I read it. We all got it.
I'm putting Sasha on

I have to do what's
best for my client.
We had a victory today.
How is putting Sasha on the

Jesus, Meredith.
Is this something
to do with that
personal conversation
that we had before?
God, is that what you think?
I'm doing it because
I don't trust you.
- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm confused.
- Oh, oh, shit.
You visited the motel. You
went to Liam Bevan's premises.
You kept me out of
God knows what else.
Your client was talking
about changing his plea
less than 48 hours ago.
I wasn't obligated
to share that.
No. But you know what I
said right at the start?
I said no surprises,
and that was surprising.
But also not really.
Fuck!
- Nina.
- Oh, I just heard.
Meredith can't be serious.
No, no, no, no,

It's one thing to get

Bernice Myers?
It's impressive that Bernice
used to go down there.
So it is possible, isn't it,

working that day,

That's hard to know because
your client's a liar too.
What is it?
And then there was light.

I need to speak to Colby.

Alright.
Thanks. Be right there.
It's not the first

in the middle of the night.
Well, you did the
right thing calling me.
Now I need to talk to my
client in private, alright?
Righto.
Thank you.
Now, before you say anything,
I must advise you that anything
you say to me cannot be unsaid.
I must advise you that anything
you say to me cannot be unsaid.
So don't tell me anything.
Just yes or no answers.
You got it?
Yeah.
Do you trust me, Patrick?
Yeah.
Over all the years that
I've been doing this job,
I've learnt this -
that spending weeks in
court gets under your skin.
And this
..this agitation, this anxiety,
it gets even worse at night.
Plays tricks with your head.
I've just been informed
that your child was
brought to visit Sasha.
Was that the first time
you'd seen the baby, Patrick?
Yep.
Sometimes when a man
feels a high level of
concern or responsibility
..for instance, if
he thinks his child
might grow up without a mother
unless he sacrificed himself
Huh.
..it can make a man want
to become a false hero.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Now, this afternoon I came
across some important evidence,
which I intend to
introduce to the court
after I've done
some more digging.
It means recalling a witness
and I believe it'll be very
favourable to your case.
Now, I know you wanted to see me
because you have
something to tell me.
But there's only one
question I have for you now
and there's only one answer
that I want to hear -
yes or no.
Are you guilty of
murdering Mrs Price?
No.
Well, in that case,
Well, in that case,
nothing needs to change.
You don't need to
say anything else.
You just have to
trust me to do my job.
So now I'm going back to
bed and you should too.
We both need our beauty sleep.
Goodnight, Patrick.
Joey?
Joey!
- Hm?
- Pete's dad's been ringing you.
- Three times this morning.
- Oh, fuck.
He's texted now, asking you
to meet him at the oval.
What?
So I've been looking
through some old records
at the council, Mum,
because I noticed that,
you know, you've been talking
a lot about Bells Hills lately.
And I thought maybe you'd
want to talk about Jackson.
So this is a copy of
his Birth Registry page.
You can see it says,
"Jackson Seymour."
He was the little boy
that you had before me.
See, on February 28, 1973,
and he was stillborn.
No.
They took him away.
No, Mum.
He died.
That's why they
wrote 'stillborn'.
They took him away from me.
I heard him.
Mum?
Do you know, I was wondering why
they wrote, "Father unknown,"
and not Dad's name
there, Charlie Watson.
Charlie's my husband.
Yes, he was your
husband. He was my dad.
But I always thought
that you said
he was Jackson's dad as well.
Is that right?
Mum?
Is is the reason why
they didn't write
Dad's name there
because you two
weren't married yet?

anything if he wasn't coping.
Hmm.
Oh! Look who's here.
Yeah, Nina.
Oh, she's she's married

Well, should we be here, then?
The rules are very strict.
I think it's OK.

No, it's OK. I'm gonna

Thank you, Nina.
OK.
Hey.
- Claudia
- No, I know, I know.
- I can't talk to you.
- It's not about the trial.
Um, I've got a friend who
needs some legal advice.
This is Brett Colby.
Leave a message.
And here I was, imagining
a delicious Sunday.
And here I was, imagining

Hmph! What happened?
Did you self-combust

falling asleep in my bed?
Seriously, Colby, where
are you? Can you call me?
Um, yeah, just when
you get a minute.
Hope you're having
a lovely day. 'Bye.
God!
But when can we expect 'em?
Yep.
What the fuck?
Hey, mate, can I call you back?
Mr Bevan.
Hard at work on a Sunday
morning. How commendable.
What are you doing here?
I was intending to buy dog food,
but obviously I
have the wrong door.
Dog food?
Obviously.
I'm guessing this is the
back door to your office.
- Yep.
- Right.
Splendid. Well,
sorry to disturb.
See you back in court.
This is it? That's
what Colby presented?
What happened to
the plea change?
I don't know. Seems like Colby's
talked him out of it somehow.
Good morning!
You got the documents?
Well, then I think
we can all agree
that you need to
recall this witness,
the well-digger.
I'll raise it with the judge.
You know, I was anticipating
something different
this morning.
Oh, what would that be?
Never mind.
If I do recall Bevan,
I expect you not to block my
request for an adjournment.
Absolutely. Of course.
Hmm.
You're being very agreeable.
Well, if I know Old Sniffer,
there won't be an adjournment
and we won't need to block it.
But didn't you just love
the look of disappointment
on the little show
pony's little face?
Could've taken me along
on the ride, Brett.
Well, I thought you
could use a day off.
Well, I thought you
could use a day off.
What, a day off scrolling
through posts of my kids
loving New Zealand
with their dad?
Little bastards don't
want to come back.
- Hmm.
- You're a bastard too.
Oh, that's just hearsay.
Well, your magical bit
of evidence better work.
I want to see Liam Bevan
fucked in the eye sockets
for calling my client a liar.
Oh, right.
Well, then in the eye
sockets he shall be fucked.
First things first,
let's get the vet
to say the bloody
steer got shot.
Dr Ferraro, will you
please tell the court
what your occupation is?
I'm a large-animal veterinarian,
but I also have a vet practice
for domestic
animals in Tunkwell.
Four days before
Bernice Price died,
you received a call
from Sasha Price.
- Is that correct?
- Yes, that's correct.
Um, she rang to say
one of the steers
had come down with, uh, BEF.
It's a common
mosquito-borne virus
that causes high fever
and often death in cattle.
That causes high fever
and often death in cattle.
So did you go to Airly Downs
to attend this sick steer?
G'day, Paloma.
Yeah, look, I just wanted to
catch you before you left.
I'm on my way now.
Uh, listen, I'm sorry.
We, um
Mum says that we're gonna
handle it ourselves.
Sasha rang and cancelled
and I assume the animal
had either recovered
or been put down.
How did Bernice Price usually
put down animals on her farm?
Bernice was fond of a gun.
She shot them.
So you received this case
about the BEF on July 15.
So you received this case
about the BEF on July 15.
If the steer hadn't recovered,
could it conceivably have
been shot on July 19?
This is the day that
Bernice Price died.
Yes, that's conceivable.
Is Amethyst Walker,
who heard the gunshot that
day and went to investigate,
a client of yours
at your vet surgery?
Yes, but she doesn't have
livestock, only pets.
When was the last time that
you saw Amethyst Walker
before Mrs Price died?
Nearly four months earlier.
She brought in her dog Milo
after it had been
shot by Mrs Price.
And was the dog alive
when Ms Walker brought
it into your surgery?
No, it was deceased.
And what was Ms
Walker's demeanour like
when she arrived
at your practice?
He's in here.
Oh, my God!
She was absolutely distraught.
Did Ms Walker
express any feelings
Did Ms Walker
express any feelings
towards Mrs Price that day?
She said
..she thought someone should
put Bernice Price down.
She thought Bernice
Price should be put down.
I think she was an
incredibly callous woman.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I mean, why wouldn't you just
call the vet if your cow's sick?
Sometimes suffering's
worse than dying.
Human beings should be able to
euthanise themselves themselves.
Hm.
Hey, um
Hey, I saw you at the
hospital over the weekend.
You were working?
Yeah, I know, but I need
to keep my shifts up.
Hey, if you're going
through something,
you don't need to
hold onto it alone.
You should mind
your own business.
Dr Ferraro, what is
the RSPCA's policy
Dr Ferraro, what is
the RSPCA's policy
on putting down farm animals?
It has to be done
competently, humanely
and without delay.
Now, what is the common name
for BEF, bovine ephemeral fever?
'Three-day sickness'.
Now, the third day
of the cow's illness
would have been July 18.
- Is that correct?
- Yes.
So it would have most likely
been put down on July 18,
the day before
Bernice Price's death.
- Is that correct?
- Yes, most likely.
Dr Ferraro, despite
it being called
the 'three-day sickness',
could an animal
linger for four days?
Yes, three days is most common,
but animals frequently are sick
for four days
before it resolves.
Right, so if the steer
that, um, Sasha Price
called you about on
July 15 was still alive
and Mrs Price was hopeful
that it would recover,
it is entirely possible
that she would have shot it
on July 19, the
day of her death.
On July 19, the
day of her death.
Is that right?
Well, yes, that's
quite possible.
Right, which would account for
the gunshot residue on
her jumper, would it not?
Objection, Your Honour.
The witness is not an
expert on ballistics.
I withdraw the question.
Yes, well, no-one is blind
to your tactics, Mr Colby.
I repent. And no further
questions. Thank you.
We are making an application
to recall a prosecution
witness, Your Honour.
Very well.
I'll ask the jury
to leave the court
for a short break
in proceedings.
At least we're
getting our steps up.
Winston, do you reckon they're
gonna give us the afternoon off?
Let's wait and see how
long the discussion takes
before we give
ourselves an early mark.
Ah, it's here! Special delivery
courtesy of my husband.
For those of you
who couldn't make it
to Claudia's family
passata day yesterday,
I brought you all a bottle.
Oh, lovely!
You're welcome.
That's probably the best one.
No, that was the best
one. I chose it for you.
I could use it for tomato
paste on my pizzas
Hey, are you
looking for someone?
Oh, um, the jury had a
question for the prosecutor
and I was just wondering
where to take it.
Right, well, that
would be to the judge,
but they're all in the court
right now and you can't enter.
- Sorry.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
- Sorry.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
- Thank you.
- No worries.
My decision is
that you may recall
State witness Liam Bevan.
Your Honour, the prosecution
wishes to fully investigate
the new photographic evidence
supplied by the defence.
And as the final documentation
has only just been
delivered to the court,
we are requesting a
day's adjournment.
Your Honour, the new evidence
is very simple and clear,
but Ms Nelson-Moore
and I have no objection
to Mr Prosecutor's request
for an adjournment.
Is the witness here, Mr Colby?
Ready and waiting, Your Honour.
As Liam Bevan was originally
your witness, Mr Prosecutor,
there will be no adjournment.
We'll take a five-minute recess,
then call the jury back in.
As you know, this
conversation never happened.
Mm-hm.
And never text me again
while this trial is on, OK?
This is the name of a family
law solicitor in Perth
who can help your friend.
And to answer your question,
falsifying birth certificates
is a very serious offence,
so she'll have a case, OK?
Hmm.
Now, Mr Bevan, you
testified that Mrs Price
owed you just under $100,000.
I've viewed the
probate documents.
Why are you not listed among
the estate's creditors?
I felt bad for the family,
so I wrote the debt off.
So you wrote off
nearly $100,000?
That is generous
indeed, Mr Bevan.
Right, I need that
money that Mum gave you.
The estate's frozen.
I can't get into her accounts.
I need to pay funeral costs.
I don't have it. I
gave it to Kelly.
- I told you that.
- Hey, Sash.
Oh, Fleur.
Now, the court has
heard that Mrs Price
gave Patrick Harrows $50,000.
The other half is
not accounted for.
- Were you aware of that?
- No.
Your Honour, there
is no evidence
that the witness received
any payment from Mrs Price.
Mr Colby, you may not proceed
with that line of questioning.
- Move on.
- Thank you, Your Honour.
Mr Bevan, where
were you on July 19
between 3:30pm and 4:30pm,
between 3:30pm and 4:30pm,
the day of Mrs Price's death?
I was in my office,
with my staff.
But there's a back door to
your office, is there not?
Well, you bloody
well know there is.
Yes, so you could
have left the office
without the staff being aware?
They would've seen me
leave the premises.
Did you visit Airly
Downs on July 19,
the day of Mrs Price's death?
No.
Did you ever visit Airly Downs
after her death?
No.
Can the witness be shown
exhibit 28, please?
On the right is a
detail of a photo
taken by Senior Constable
Neal Collins on July 19.
On the left is a
detail of a photo
taken by forensic detectives
four days later on July 23.
Is this the light fitting
that you installed?
Yes.
Which one?
Which one?
I'm I'm sorry?
Let's play spot the
difference, shall we?
The light fitting on the
right as captured on July 19
is not the same light fitting
as the one on the left
captured four days later
because the bracket
is subtly different,
isn't it, Mr Bevan?
As you can see, the
original light fitting
was anchored by two single
brackets on each side.
The one from July 23
is anchored by one double
bracket on each side.
So which one did you install?
Well, the original, obviously.
Who installed the replacement?
I don't know.
So between July 19 and July 23,
someone installed a new bracket,
thus tampering with
the crime scene,
thus tampering with
the crime scene,
and you cannot tell us who?
No.
Please show the
witness exhibit 31.
Can you read the serial number
that was found on the
second light fitting?
LR754X3.
Please show the
witness exhibit 32,
which is an invoice
for batch LR754X3.
What recipient is at the
top of the delivery docket?
Liam Bevan.
In other words, you, Mr Bevan.
I want to speak to my lawyer.
Mr Prosecutor is
not your lawyer.
But you may wish to engage one
because you've already
perjured yourself several times
and are guilty of tampering
with a crime scene.
It wasn't a crime scene!
It wasn't a crime scene!
Would you explain that
comment, Mr Bevan?
When I heard that Bernie had
fallen down the well and died,
I knew that WA Safe
would investigate,
so I went out there
and I fixed the light
and the pump electrics,
but that is all I did!
To cover your incompetence
to avoid a large
fine and a lawsuit?
Yes.
So when you previously testified
that there was no
problem with the well,
you were lying,
weren't you, Mr Bevan?
Yep.
As my colleague Ms
Nelson-Moore put it to you,
the light was not working,
so it's entirely
possible that Mrs Price
stumbled in the dark
and fell in the well.
I don't know.
You lied in your
early testimony,
so what else have
you lied about?
Did Mrs Price just offer you
$50,000 and an
altercation followed,
you hit her on the head,
threw her down the well?
- No! It's ridiculous!
- Objection, Your Honour!
The witness has an alibi
for the time of death.
Mr Colby, you are
pushing my limits.
Mr Colby, you are
pushing my limits.
My apologies, Your Honour.
No further questions,
but I do have an
application to make.
Very well, Mr Colby.
I will ask the jury to
leave the courtroom.
Don't worry.
That was good.
You have my attention, Mr Colby.
Your Honour, I
make an application
for the jury to be discharged.
The evidence of Mr Bevan
makes it abundantly clear
that the scene was tampered with
and it would be unlawful
to rely upon any evidence
relating to it as
adduced by the State.
That application is
opposed, Your Honour.
The evidence of Mr Bevan
is not determinative
to the entire State case.
I will take the afternoon
to consider the position.
To consider the position.
I'll deliver a ruling
later this evening.
- Adjourn the court.
- Please rise.
Court is adjourned.
I can't believe he
perjured himself.
I know a hundred
blokes who would
clean up to get out
of a WA Safe issue.
What a fuckin' idiot.
Doesn't mean that he's
guilty of murder, right?
People do all kinds of weird
shit when they're ashamed.
If you do something
wrong, you own it.
Why can't we hear what's
going on in the courtroom?
I'd like all the facts.
Maybe they don't
know all the facts.
Hey, do you think we'd
make a good team, um,
out of the courtroom?
What do you think?
What do you think?
I'm kidding! Oh, my God!
You look terrified.
Oh, look, I
You know I You know
how much I love
I so much look
forward to these
Oh, yeah?
..circuses with you.
But you know me.
I am I am far too selfish
to think about
anything more serious.
Mmm, you and your whisky
and your smelly cigars.
And I would hate you to be
my my fourth ex-wife.
What makes you think I'd
marry you, you old egoist?
Hmm.
But it is different
this this time. It is.
And not just because
of your, um
You know, your
situation at home.
You think all this time
together is bad for our souls?
No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying it was
probably unavoidable
that one of us would be
..a little more open.
Yeah.
Anyway, perhaps it's time
we did some more work
on tomorrow's witnesses
'cause I don't think it's
a foregone conclusion
His Honour will scupper
the whole trial.
Well, um, if you need
to run anything by me,
you know where I am.
Yeah, good, good.
So so no dinner?
Oh, not tonight. I think
I'm done with Italian.
No, quite, quite.
Yeah. Jolly good.
See you tomorrow.
Um
I'd like to run
something past you.
Fine. I'll just get Colby.
Just you, Meredith.
Can I come in?
No, um
I'll, um Let
me think about it.
I'll, uh
..I'll text you.
Sure.
No!
It wasn't the roller rink
that got me pregnant, Mum.
It was the fact I knew
nothing about boys.
Shh! We are not talking
about this now, OK?
If you hadn't
sheltered me so much,
If you hadn't
sheltered me so much,
if you'd given me a chance
to learn how the world works,
then maybe I wouldn't have
let him have sex with me.
I told you not to
go near boys at all.
That's why I had no
idea how to handle it.
And you're making the same
mistakes all over again, Ma.
I honestly don't know what's
got into you all of a sudden.
Every single day, I am
listening to a horror story
about a toxic mother
and her daughter.
'Toxic'? Nice.
What you did was illegal.
You falsified her
birth certificate.
What do you want, Claudia?
I want her to have these.
I don't care if you say
you got them for her.
You can be the hero.
I just want her to have them.
Spit out whatever
it is, Persand,
so I can get the
hell out of here.
- I've got a proposition for you.
- Of course you do.
After what Colby did today,
you know you're gonna lose.
I doubt you'll get a mistrial.
Hm, we'll see.
Tell me, is Colby the ringmaster
of the circus or are you?
Uh, we work together as a team.
Yeah, well, then Colby
must have told you
that Patrick Harrows
wanted to change his plea
in the wee hours of Sunday.
Hm, didn't think so.
I got a call from the
cell guard at 1:30am.
Patrick was demanding
to speak to his lawyer,
blubbering about a plea change.
I encouraged him to call Colby
and I watched him walk over
there with my own eyes at 2am.
This morning, no plea change
and Colby didn't tell you.
Lawyer-client privilege.
What else don't you know?
OK, well, whether
that's true or not,
I still don't understand
what I'm doing here under
this fucking bridge,
because there's zero chance of
my client changing her plea,
so this conversation
is now over.
Jesus Christ, Persand.
I'm starting to think Sasha
could be covering for Patrick.
You put her in that witness
box, I'll do the rest.
I'll go easy on her.
Can you hear what you
sound like, Persand?
Colby's client is
clearly guilty.
Colby's client is
clearly guilty.
I may not nail both,
but I will get one.
I'm sure we'd both
rather it be the one
who was ready to plead guilty
before your so-called
ally talked him around.
OK, I think we get it.
See you in court.
Alright, Castle Trivia, we
are done. Congrats, guys.
Alright, same time next Monday,
come along, win some money, win
some prizes, make some friends,
a fun night at Castle Trivia.
So good to see you,
so good to see you.
I know what you want,
but I can't give you any,
especially not here.
I haven't come here for gummies.
I came here to, uh
..to apologise to you
for what my daughter did.
She had no right to
threaten you or replace you.
I wasn't even aware of
it till it was too late.
Anyway, I I put my foot down
and it's none of her business
who I have to my house.
I'm worried about you.
Don't worry.
- I can give you something.
- No.
Let's just Let's
get out of here first.
No, no, no, no.
It's alright.
- Are you sure?
- Come on. Yeah.
I can't sleep with you here.
Sorry, babe. I'll
I'll come in.
Joey, I am done. I
want you to leave.
OK, hold on. Hold on, babe.
I can't
You know, I just
I'll go in the morning.
Hm?
Now.
My son hasn't been
to see me at all
since I gave him an earful
about throwing my things away.
I mean, you haven't exactly
made it easy on them.
I mean, you haven't exactly
made it easy on them.
How are they supposed to know
what stuff you don't
want them to trash?
I mean, do you really want
a a box of old junk mail?
Do you want to hang on to that?
- Well, it's, uh
- What even is this?
It's addressed to my wife.
I mean, I couldn't
..couldn't admit it to
the kids, but, um
..whenever I get a catalogue
or something addressed to her,
it means somewhere out there,
someone still
thinks she might buy
a a blouse or a or a mop
or, um go on a holiday.
You shouldn't pretend to
be such a grumpy old man
when you're actually
a softy inside.
Softness isn't weakness.
Softness isn't weakness.
And money isn't love.

You come to commiserate
on the email?
The case continues. No mistrial.
Ah. I read it. We all got it.
I'm putting Sasha on
the witness stand.
You what?!
I have to do what's
best for my client.
We had a victory today.
How is putting Sasha on the
stand doing what's best?
Are you
Are you planning to have
Sasha drop Patrick in it?
Are you planning to have
Sasha drop Patrick in it?
Is that what you're doing?
Sharing tactics
is off the table.
Jesus, Meredith.
Is this something
to do with that
personal conversation
that we had before?
God, is that what you think?
I'm doing it because
I don't trust you.
- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm confused.
- Oh, oh, shit.
You visited the motel. You
went to Liam Bevan's premises.
You kept me out of
God knows what else.
Your client was talking
about changing his plea
less than 48 hours ago.
I wasn't obligated
to share that.
No. But you know what I
said right at the start?
I said no surprises,
and that was surprising.
But also not really.
Fuck!
- Nina.
- Oh, I just heard.
Meredith can't be serious.
No, no, no, no,
it's not about that.
Something very important
has just landed in my lap.
Something, um
Yeah, a new piece of the puzzle.
Can we meet?
Sure. Uh, give me 10.
Can I ask where you got
this new puzzle piece?
Santa Claus.
