1
00:00:02,012 --> 00:00:04,083
Mrs Vasilich, we have a warrant for
your arrest,

2
00:00:04,084 --> 00:00:06,028
and we have a search warrant.

3
00:00:06,044 --> 00:00:08,147
This is where Blakely's car was
found.

4
00:00:08,148 --> 00:00:10,036
They probably carried the body
down this way.

5
00:00:10,125 --> 00:00:11,356
Andy, I really was impressed.

6
00:00:11,415 --> 00:00:14,375
On the balance of probabilities,
I'd say you could be right.

7
00:00:14,391 --> 00:00:17,943
All the defence has to do is create
reasonable doubt and we're shot.

8
00:00:18,023 --> 00:00:19,183
You won't need these, I guess.

9
00:00:19,255 --> 00:00:21,455
We need a body, Jack.
That's what we need.

10
00:00:21,525 --> 00:00:23,513
You really want to go
behind the DPP's back?

11
00:00:23,529 --> 00:00:25,463
Bypass them altogether
and run your own trial?

12
00:00:25,545 --> 00:00:27,761
Yes. Would you be interested
in running it for us?

13
00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:31,494
Tony, I'm going to sign this
ex-officio indictment in 24 hours

14
00:00:31,543 --> 00:00:36,087
unless the DPP agree to prosecute
Dianne Vasilich and her son for murder.

15
00:00:36,179 --> 00:00:39,159
We have to go for it.
Tony, we're not ready.

16
00:00:39,175 --> 00:00:43,155
We have to win it and the person
most likely to win is...

17
00:00:44,845 --> 00:00:46,546
Your evidence
will ensure a conviction.

18
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:49,543
Owen's a little different from
Janet, but he's a fine advocate.

19
00:00:49,966 --> 00:00:51,298
You're in good hands, I promise.

20
00:00:51,299 --> 00:00:55,223
Two weeks ago you paid off your
mortgage with $100,000 in cash.

21
00:00:55,239 --> 00:00:58,227
Want to tell me where that came from?
Who do you really want to upset?

22
00:00:58,243 --> 00:01:00,301
If it's us, I'll have you declared
a hostile witness

23
00:01:00,302 --> 00:01:01,581
and question all your finances.

24
00:01:01,656 --> 00:01:03,656
If it's them, we'll look into
immediate relocation

25
00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:05,223
for you and your son.

26
00:01:09,956 --> 00:01:31,292

<font color="#3399CC">http://UKsubtitles.ru.</font>

27
00:01:42,375 --> 00:01:44,399
As we approached
the court building,

28
00:01:44,411 --> 00:01:47,335
I saw Zebina standing there, waiting.

29
00:01:51,323 --> 00:01:54,403
Owen, he saw Geoff Hadley
so he stepped away

30
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:59,363
and, well, I went over to Zebina
by myself.

31
00:02:01,347 --> 00:02:03,339
We started chatting...

32
00:02:04,387 --> 00:02:08,335
..we started to move away
towards the court...

33
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:11,399
..and that's when I heard the
motorbike.

34
00:02:13,343 --> 00:02:14,395
Take your time.

35
00:02:16,395 --> 00:02:18,391
Zebina looked up too.

36
00:02:18,407 --> 00:02:21,411
Then I saw the man on the back
of the bike pull out a gun.

37
00:02:22,327 --> 00:02:28,339
There was a bang and I felt something
hit me, knock me down.

38
00:02:28,351 --> 00:02:30,367
But it wasn't a bullet.

39
00:02:30,379 --> 00:02:32,323
It was Zebina.

40
00:02:37,387 --> 00:02:41,387
She was on me, on top of me.

41
00:02:41,399 --> 00:02:45,359
Heavy. Not moving.

42
00:02:59,363 --> 00:03:01,391
Erin.

43
00:03:01,403 --> 00:03:03,371
You alright?

44
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:05,391
You didn't have to stay.

45
00:03:05,407 --> 00:03:07,391
I wasn't gonna walk away
and leave you here.

46
00:03:07,407 --> 00:03:10,367
I'm fine.
Really?

47
00:03:10,383 --> 00:03:13,375
I'm not fine and I was standing
50 metres away from the whole thing.

48
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:16,391
How'd you go in there?
Was that OK?

49
00:03:16,403 --> 00:03:18,343
Mm-hm.

50
00:03:18,359 --> 00:03:20,367
Hey, listen, did you get
a good look at the riders?

51
00:03:20,379 --> 00:03:23,403
Owen, please. Not now.

52
00:03:25,383 --> 00:03:27,411
Thank God you're here.

53
00:03:29,387 --> 00:03:32,323
OK, so I brought you
two different outfits.

54
00:03:32,339 --> 00:03:34,407
I hope they're OK.
Yeah, they'll be fine. Thank you.

55
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:36,343
Hey, Terry?

56
00:03:36,359 --> 00:03:38,395
Bloody hell, this was the girl you
were calling me about, wasn't it?

57
00:03:38,411 --> 00:03:40,375
Yeah.
What a fuckin' mess.

58
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:42,387
Is it on camera? Can you ID them?

59
00:03:42,403 --> 00:03:45,351
All we've got at the moment
is a victim,

60
00:03:45,363 --> 00:03:47,371
pronounced dead at the scene,

61
00:03:47,391 --> 00:03:50,411
cause of death, severe trauma to
the head from a high-powered firearm.

62
00:03:51,327 --> 00:03:53,359
We are currently...
Terry, don't press release me.

63
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:56,343
Those murdering shitheads
left a little kid without a mother.

64
00:03:56,359 --> 00:03:58,359
And you without a witness.
Is it on camera?

65
00:03:58,375 --> 00:04:00,363
I just want to know
if we'll be able to get 'em.

66
00:04:00,379 --> 00:04:03,315
Well, because of all the security
at the court complex,

67
00:04:03,331 --> 00:04:07,319
this is probably
the most filmed drive-by in history.

68
00:04:07,335 --> 00:04:10,331
We've got the gun, bike,
make, model, rego.

69
00:04:10,343 --> 00:04:12,323
Have a look.

70
00:04:13,371 --> 00:04:15,411
Unfortunately, they're wearing
full-face helmets

71
00:04:16,323 --> 00:04:18,347
so we can't ID them.

72
00:04:25,375 --> 00:04:27,359
You alright?
Yep.

73
00:04:27,371 --> 00:04:29,411
Yep. Check this out.

74
00:04:30,327 --> 00:04:33,319
The shooter's hand.
Is that a tattoo?

75
00:04:33,331 --> 00:04:34,323
Mmm.

76
00:04:34,339 --> 00:04:37,319
It's hard to tell from the photo,
but your young solicitor friend

77
00:04:37,335 --> 00:04:39,407
has got a sharp set of eyes
and drew this.

78
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,339
Did you run it?
Yep. Got a match.

79
00:04:42,351 --> 00:04:43,391
One Edward Collard.

80
00:04:43,407 --> 00:04:47,351
A few minor convictions,
assault, auto theft.

81
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:51,335
Interestingly, he's a nom in the
same bikie gang as your defendant.

82
00:04:52,351 --> 00:04:54,395
Nice one.
Assassinations now?

83
00:04:54,407 --> 00:04:56,391
I might as well move to Mexico.

84
00:04:56,407 --> 00:04:59,351
The food's better, the booze is
cheaper and the women are Mexican,

85
00:04:59,367 --> 00:05:01,395
which is no small selling point,
let me tell you.

86
00:05:01,407 --> 00:05:03,343
Yeah, I can see the attraction.

87
00:05:03,363 --> 00:05:06,351
I've had the Attorney-General on
the phone for the best part of an hour.

88
00:05:06,367 --> 00:05:09,339
Not happy?
The word 'berserk' comes to mind.

89
00:05:09,355 --> 00:05:12,411
But my chances of calming her
would be significantly improved

90
00:05:13,327 --> 00:05:15,407
if there was still a prospect
of running the Simpson case.

91
00:05:16,323 --> 00:05:19,327
Well, it's been adjourned till next
Friday, which is just a formality.

92
00:05:19,343 --> 00:05:21,371
Without our key witness,
it's a certain nolle.

93
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,375
Perhaps I committed sins
in a previous life

94
00:05:23,387 --> 00:05:25,367
for which I am now atoning.

95
00:05:25,383 --> 00:05:28,375
Tony. The shooting. They're gonna
make an arrest very soon.

96
00:05:28,391 --> 00:05:30,347
A guy in the same bikie gang as
Simpson.

97
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:32,335
Are you lobbying for the brief
already?

98
00:05:32,347 --> 00:05:34,343
No. I'm saying I feel responsible.

99
00:05:34,359 --> 00:05:37,403
I think of that woman's son.
I look at Erin, outside.

100
00:05:37,619 --> 00:05:40,737
Have you seen her?
Not yet. Poor kid.

101
00:05:40,793 --> 00:05:42,363
Yeah, she's a fuckin' mess.

102
00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:45,315
And everybody else around here's
pretty shaken up too.

103
00:05:45,327 --> 00:05:46,351
I know.

104
00:05:46,367 --> 00:05:48,383
You need someone
who's gonna take these pricks on,

105
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,367
who'll walk over there
despite everything that's happened,

106
00:05:51,383 --> 00:05:52,943
walk into court and tear 'em to
pieces.

107
00:05:53,037 --> 00:05:55,391
Now, maybe there's a dozen other
crowns who'd do that,

108
00:05:55,403 --> 00:05:57,387
I'm just saying I'm fine with it.

109
00:05:59,339 --> 00:06:01,335
I hear you've applied for silk.

110
00:06:01,347 --> 00:06:03,035
It's no secret.

111
00:06:03,037 --> 00:06:04,387
And winning a sensational case

112
00:06:04,403 --> 00:06:07,355
with a high media profile
wouldn't hurt that cause...

113
00:06:07,371 --> 00:06:10,335
Maybe. I hadn't thought of that.
Ah.

114
00:06:10,351 --> 00:06:13,323
Yes, I'd love a chance
to finish what I started.

115
00:06:13,339 --> 00:06:15,383
But I also think
this could work for both of us.

116
00:06:25,323 --> 00:06:27,379
I had to give my clothes to
forensics

117
00:06:27,395 --> 00:06:30,351
so Lina brought in
some clean gear for me

118
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:35,383
and I don't think the skirt
works with the shirt.

119
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:41,335
No, it doesn't.
What was she thinking?

120
00:07:11,323 --> 00:07:14,383
You know, if you feel
you want to talk to someone,

121
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:16,375
a professional,
we can arrange that.

122
00:07:16,387 --> 00:07:18,395
I spent my whole afternoon talking.

123
00:07:18,411 --> 00:07:22,379
I don't want to think about it
anymore.

124
00:07:26,407 --> 00:07:30,387
Oh, you can get that.
It's just Ash. I'll call her back.

125
00:07:36,343 --> 00:07:40,411
When I was giving my statement,
I was on autopilot.

126
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:44,347
I just answered the questions,
did what I was told.

127
00:07:44,363 --> 00:07:46,379
I didn't even think about
what I was saying.

128
00:07:46,395 --> 00:07:49,355
Doing what we do,
it's easy to forget how hard it is

129
00:07:49,371 --> 00:07:52,391
for witnesses having to relive it
all.

130
00:07:52,407 --> 00:07:55,331
As long as you feel you did your
best.

131
00:07:55,347 --> 00:07:59,403
The last person who did her best
was gunned down in front of me.

132
00:08:16,343 --> 00:08:19,343
Janet, call me, please.

133
00:08:28,339 --> 00:08:29,371
What happened?

134
00:08:29,387 --> 00:08:31,391
Is he OK?
It's OK. He's fine.

135
00:08:31,407 --> 00:08:34,347
Where is he?
The swing clipped his head.

136
00:08:34,363 --> 00:08:36,399
There's no sign of concussion,
but it left a nasty gash.

137
00:08:37,315 --> 00:08:40,315
It's deep, so they've put him under
a light general...

138
00:08:40,327 --> 00:08:41,343
General anaesthetic!

139
00:08:41,359 --> 00:08:43,335
The plastic surgeon said
it's the only way

140
00:08:43,351 --> 00:08:45,339
to keep a toddler
still enough for stitches.

141
00:08:55,327 --> 00:08:56,359
I'm...

142
00:08:56,371 --> 00:08:58,363
I'm so sorry I missed your calls.

143
00:08:58,379 --> 00:09:01,391
I was talking to Erin and I...
How is she?

144
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:05,315
Not good.
It's been all over the telly.

145
00:09:05,331 --> 00:09:08,355
They didn't identify her, did they?
I wouldn't really know.

146
00:09:08,371 --> 00:09:10,351
I've had other things to think
about.

147
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:14,399
I'm sorry.
Don't be. It's my fault.

148
00:09:15,315 --> 00:09:17,331
I was reading an email on my
phone...

149
00:09:17,343 --> 00:09:19,323
You can't watch them every second.

150
00:09:19,339 --> 00:09:21,351
I knew I wasn't paying
proper attention.

151
00:09:21,367 --> 00:09:23,359
I've been off with the fairies
all day.

152
00:09:26,403 --> 00:09:30,395
St Bart's called.
Sounding me out about a position.

153
00:09:30,411 --> 00:09:34,127
Head of the senior school.
What?

154
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:35,311
Why didn't you tell me this?

155
00:09:35,323 --> 00:09:36,639
I knew I wasn't going to take it

156
00:09:36,694 --> 00:09:40,738
so I didn't see any point in
mentioning it.

157
00:09:40,917 --> 00:09:43,809
But they wrote again this morning

158
00:09:43,865 --> 00:09:46,877
saying they really wanted me
and could I reconsider,

159
00:09:46,889 --> 00:09:48,917
and that was the email.

160
00:09:49,178 --> 00:09:52,130
I must have read that bloody thing
about ten times,

161
00:09:52,146 --> 00:09:56,142
this pathetic little lifeline
to the real world.

162
00:09:56,158 --> 00:09:59,050
I was reading it again
when Liam ran in front of the swing.

163
00:09:59,102 --> 00:10:01,130
It's not your fault.

164
00:10:03,933 --> 00:10:06,001
I'm sorry.
Shh.

165
00:10:12,933 --> 00:10:17,001
Got him. Edward Collard,
he of the spider tattoo, and...

166
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:19,009
Toby Franzen.
Toby Franzen.

167
00:10:19,925 --> 00:10:21,937
We've been after that piece of shit
for years.

168
00:10:21,953 --> 00:10:23,941
Sergeant at Arms now?
Yeah.

169
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:25,997
And the very one who sponsored our
mate Collard

170
00:10:26,009 --> 00:10:28,009
as a nominee in the bike club.

171
00:10:28,925 --> 00:10:30,929
Well, unless Franzen's
gone soft in his old age,

172
00:10:30,945 --> 00:10:32,013
I don't imagine
you got much out of him.

173
00:10:32,929 --> 00:10:37,021
Hasn't said a word.
But luckily for us, Collard has.

174
00:10:39,961 --> 00:10:41,985
You seen that tattoo anywhere
before?

175
00:10:41,997 --> 00:10:44,949
Oh, I seen it every day, eh.

176
00:10:44,965 --> 00:10:47,941
Where would that be?
Well, it's not on me bum.

177
00:10:49,965 --> 00:10:53,021
One of our witnesses saw that tattoo
on the back of the shooter's hand.

178
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:57,009
Ah, which witness is that?

179
00:10:57,925 --> 00:10:58,985
And we've recovered the gun
you dumped

180
00:10:59,001 --> 00:11:00,961
about four blocks away
from the court.

181
00:11:00,977 --> 00:11:03,933
Not me.
Got your prints on it, Edward.

182
00:11:05,981 --> 00:11:08,013
I'd like you to take a look
at this photo

183
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:11,949
from the CCTV TV footage
outside the court.

184
00:11:11,965 --> 00:11:14,925
We've got your bike,
we can identify you as the shooter,

185
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:18,001
we've got the murder weapon
with your prints on it.

186
00:11:18,017 --> 00:11:20,969
Son, I don't know if you know
how much trouble you're in.

187
00:11:20,985 --> 00:11:23,981
I mean, this is one of the worst
killings in the state's history.

188
00:11:23,997 --> 00:11:26,989
The way I see it, you're going to
be doing life without parole

189
00:11:27,005 --> 00:11:31,937
at Goulburn Supermax with Ivan Milat
till the day you die.

190
00:11:31,953 --> 00:11:34,993
Unless, of course,
you start to help us out.

191
00:11:39,957 --> 00:11:43,925
Who's that?
Could be... could be Toby.

192
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,953
Toby Franzen, is it? The rider?

193
00:11:45,969 --> 00:11:49,005
Yeah, well... yeah, I mean,
it looks like him, doesn't it?

194
00:11:50,953 --> 00:11:52,969
Is that you, is it?

195
00:11:52,981 --> 00:11:54,973
I mean, you did, didn't you?

196
00:11:54,985 --> 00:11:57,997
You know, pulled the trigger.

197
00:11:59,005 --> 00:12:00,953
I was just, you know...

198
00:12:00,965 --> 00:12:02,961
You know, it wasn't my idea.

199
00:12:02,977 --> 00:12:05,005
Yeah.
Toby said that we had to stop her.

200
00:12:05,925 --> 00:12:09,005
So I was gonna get me tatts branded
off if I didn't, you know, do what...

201
00:12:10,017 --> 00:12:11,953
Nice work, mate.

202
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:15,981
Nothing beats a good confession.

203
00:12:22,981 --> 00:12:24,017
Andy, yes, I agree.

204
00:12:24,933 --> 00:12:27,017
We have a compelling theory
that explains Dianne's movements.

205
00:12:27,933 --> 00:12:29,953
It explains everything.
It's a good hypothesis.

206
00:12:29,969 --> 00:12:31,965
But we still have three main
problems.

207
00:12:31,977 --> 00:12:33,662
We have no forensic evidence

208
00:12:33,663 --> 00:12:36,289
directly linking Dianne Vasilich
to Blakely's death,

209
00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:38,356
we've got a weak motive and no body.

210
00:12:39,372 --> 00:12:41,352
How do you think she killed him?
A gun?

211
00:12:41,368 --> 00:12:43,360
Unlikely.
We checked her friends and family.

212
00:12:43,433 --> 00:12:45,409
There's no-one with criminal
connections

213
00:12:45,425 --> 00:12:47,429
and certainly no-one
with access to firearms.

214
00:12:47,445 --> 00:12:50,025
She could've used a pen,
according to Jack Rizzoli.

215
00:12:50,026 --> 00:12:51,433
It's a hard sell for the jury,
though.

216
00:12:51,449 --> 00:12:54,393
They'd probably go for a knife,
an iron bar over the head.

217
00:12:54,409 --> 00:12:56,413
What about her son, Brian?
What about him?

218
00:12:56,429 --> 00:12:58,421
We discussed
whether you might reinterview.

219
00:12:58,433 --> 00:13:00,369
Put the new evidence to him.

220
00:13:00,385 --> 00:13:02,373
The paint fragments found
in Blakely's car.

221
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:04,377
Use it to rattle his cage.
Rattle his cage?

222
00:13:04,393 --> 00:13:06,401
You've been watching too many
movies, Richard.

223
00:13:06,417 --> 00:13:09,417
We're presuming Brian was dragged
into this against his will, right?

224
00:13:09,433 --> 00:13:11,405
Went along with it
to protect his mother.

225
00:13:11,417 --> 00:13:13,377
That makes him a potential weak link.

226
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:14,449
We've already been putting pressure
on him.

227
00:13:14,465 --> 00:13:16,457
Unfortunately
Brian's stuck to his story 100%.

228
00:13:17,373 --> 00:13:19,389
Fine, but I have to sell
a case concept to the jury

229
00:13:19,401 --> 00:13:21,389
and right now, I don't have enough.

230
00:13:21,405 --> 00:13:24,433
I walked you through every detail.
Except how she killed him.

231
00:13:24,449 --> 00:13:26,437
A middle-aged woman with no history
of violence

232
00:13:26,449 --> 00:13:28,425
against a big, tough copper

233
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:31,401
and no forensic evidence to work
with, nothing!

234
00:13:31,413 --> 00:13:32,441
What am I meant to say?

235
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:38,441
Ah, good news.

236
00:13:38,457 --> 00:13:40,457
Barry Seers
has changed his plea to guilty.

237
00:13:41,369 --> 00:13:42,401
Barry Seers?

238
00:13:42,417 --> 00:13:44,453
Defendant in the Port Macquarie
cocaine importation.

239
00:13:45,369 --> 00:13:47,445
His case was listed before
Blakely's, but with Seers pleading,

240
00:13:47,461 --> 00:13:50,449
you've just become
the next cab off the rank.

241
00:13:50,461 --> 00:13:52,421
So, uh, put your seatbelts on.

242
00:13:55,441 --> 00:13:58,397
I didn't even want this.
Now you're cutting my prep time?

243
00:13:58,409 --> 00:13:59,465
Hey, you're shooting the messenger.

244
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:01,465
Well, you certainly
seem pleased about it.

245
00:14:02,377 --> 00:14:03,445
I gave it a positive spin.

246
00:14:03,461 --> 00:14:05,441
Part of my job description,
rallying the troops.

247
00:14:07,437 --> 00:14:10,373
You don't look rallied.
We can't win this, Tony.

248
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:12,377
Yes, you can.
And what do you base that on?

249
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,433
On the fact I have confidence
in you.

250
00:14:14,445 --> 00:14:18,401
No, strike that. I have faith.

251
00:14:18,413 --> 00:14:23,389
A deep, abiding faith in you.

252
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:25,453
You're so full of shit.

253
00:14:26,369 --> 00:14:29,397
Look, this business has been
all over the news,

254
00:14:29,413 --> 00:14:32,373
generating a huge amount of sympathy
for Blakely and his kids.

255
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:34,409
Getting it on sooner,
you can use that sympathy.

256
00:14:34,421 --> 00:14:35,457
Work the jury.

257
00:14:36,373 --> 00:14:39,393
And if this groundswell of public
support doesn't get me over the line?

258
00:14:39,405 --> 00:14:43,409
Losing is not an option, Janet.

259
00:14:45,461 --> 00:14:47,409
I have a brief for you.

260
00:14:47,425 --> 00:14:49,433
Tracey, I'm snowed under
with stuff right now...

261
00:14:49,445 --> 00:14:51,405
We're all snowed under.

262
00:14:51,421 --> 00:14:55,401
Wait, this isn't the...
The Zebina Petrakis murder, yes.

263
00:14:55,417 --> 00:14:57,457
Owen'll run it, but I just thought
he might need some help

264
00:14:58,369 --> 00:14:59,433
managing his key witness.

265
00:14:59,449 --> 00:15:02,397
And I also thought Erin
might appreciate it too.

266
00:15:02,409 --> 00:15:05,413
That's... that's very compassionate.

267
00:15:05,429 --> 00:15:08,389
Well, it just seemed appropriate,
I suppose.

268
00:15:08,401 --> 00:15:09,449
I know it isn't a sex crime,

269
00:15:09,465 --> 00:15:12,389
but I take it you'll find some room
in your schedule?

270
00:15:12,401 --> 00:15:14,425
Well... Yeah, of course.

271
00:15:35,417 --> 00:15:38,369
Hey. How you going?
OK.

272
00:15:38,381 --> 00:15:40,381
How are you feeling today?

273
00:15:40,393 --> 00:15:41,453
Yeah, alright.

274
00:15:42,369 --> 00:15:43,417
Tracey just told me
you're doing Petrakis.

275
00:15:43,433 --> 00:15:46,425
Well, y-y-yeah.
We thought it would be helpful...

276
00:15:46,437 --> 00:15:49,465
I know. It is. It helps.

277
00:15:50,381 --> 00:15:52,461
Just wanted to say, whenever
you've got any questions, just ask.

278
00:15:53,377 --> 00:15:55,449
Well, don't think you've got to wait
for a good time or anything.

279
00:15:55,461 --> 00:15:56,449
Mm.

280
00:15:56,465 --> 00:15:59,437
But don't stop what you're doing,
either. When it suits, really.

281
00:16:01,417 --> 00:16:02,923
What are you doing, anyway?

282
00:16:06,373 --> 00:16:08,373
How old does she look to you?

283
00:16:12,457 --> 00:16:17,449
Oh, God. Young. I don't know.

284
00:16:18,457 --> 00:16:21,385
Neither do I.

285
00:16:23,377 --> 00:16:25,437
So are you leaving soon, or...?

286
00:16:25,453 --> 00:16:29,397
Well, I've only got 34,000 more
images to examine, so...

287
00:16:29,409 --> 00:16:31,369
Sure, OK.

288
00:16:31,385 --> 00:16:35,377
Just thought it might be nice to have
some company heading home.

289
00:16:35,393 --> 00:16:39,413
Well, you know what? It's date
night. So I ought to head home.

290
00:16:39,429 --> 00:16:42,429
Date night.
I assume that's a euphemism.

291
00:16:42,441 --> 00:16:44,401
Correct.

292
00:16:44,417 --> 00:16:47,385
This is procreation, not recreation.
Mm-hm.

293
00:16:47,401 --> 00:16:50,389
Not that I feel like it,
after all that.

294
00:16:50,401 --> 00:16:51,461
I can imagine.

295
00:17:05,401 --> 00:17:06,461
Hi.

296
00:17:12,453 --> 00:17:14,401
Hello.

297
00:17:14,417 --> 00:17:16,433
From your message,
I figured it must be important,

298
00:17:16,445 --> 00:17:19,373
so I thought I might include Jack.

299
00:17:19,385 --> 00:17:22,449
So, what's the emergency?

300
00:17:25,425 --> 00:17:28,389
I know how much you've put into
the Blakely investigation

301
00:17:28,405 --> 00:17:31,413
and we've been working closely
together on it.

302
00:17:31,429 --> 00:17:34,453
So I wanted to talk things through
with you before I went to Tony.

303
00:17:34,465 --> 00:17:36,401
No happy news then?

304
00:17:36,417 --> 00:17:38,445
As you know, there are weaknesses
in the case against Vasilich...

305
00:17:38,461 --> 00:17:42,385
As you know, we need a win.
Sure. But there are wins and wins.

306
00:17:43,385 --> 00:17:46,385
What you really need is a clean
result, as quickly as possible.

307
00:17:46,397 --> 00:17:47,433
That's right, isn't it?

308
00:17:49,445 --> 00:17:51,441
In fact,
isn't that better for all of us?

309
00:17:51,453 --> 00:17:53,369
Go on.

310
00:17:54,409 --> 00:17:57,373
My suggestion is
we offer Dianne a reduction.

311
00:17:57,385 --> 00:17:58,373
To what?

312
00:17:58,389 --> 00:18:00,373
Manslaughter,
but she has to plead guilty.

313
00:18:00,389 --> 00:18:02,457
Without a body, we don't know
what happened to Steven Blakely.

314
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,425
Perhaps it was an accident?
In fact, that makes more sense.

315
00:18:05,441 --> 00:18:08,425
They argued, Blakely turned his back,
Dianne pushed him, he tripped...

316
00:18:08,441 --> 00:18:10,409
Or she might have walked in
and shot him.

317
00:18:10,425 --> 00:18:13,437
Might have, exactly. Which is hardly
'beyond reasonable doubt', is it?

318
00:18:13,453 --> 00:18:16,417
If the charge is manslaughter,
the evidence is overwhelming

319
00:18:16,433 --> 00:18:18,449
and pleading will probably
be attractive to her.

320
00:18:18,465 --> 00:18:20,437
Because we'd be letting her
off the hook?

321
00:18:20,453 --> 00:18:23,377
We'd be getting a conviction
and sending her to jail.

322
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:25,429
She'd be out in what, 3-4 years?
Or we stay with murder

323
00:18:25,445 --> 00:18:28,417
and she gets acquitted,
which is looking increasingly likely.

324
00:18:28,433 --> 00:18:31,429
You have been against prosecuting
this from the start, haven't you?

325
00:18:31,445 --> 00:18:34,417
Do you have something against
Blakely, or just cops in general?

326
00:18:34,433 --> 00:18:37,373
Whoa, whoa, easy, easy.
Why don't you take a deep breath?

327
00:18:37,389 --> 00:18:40,381
Yeah, alright. I'll take mine
outside. See you tomorrow, Jack.

328
00:18:44,417 --> 00:18:47,441
If you want to make sure we get
the right outcome, this is the way.

329
00:18:47,453 --> 00:18:49,409
And how about Blakely's children?

330
00:18:49,425 --> 00:18:51,389
How are they going to feel about
this?

331
00:18:52,433 --> 00:18:54,457
Better than if Dianne walks.

332
00:18:57,373 --> 00:18:59,393
I'll talk to Andy.

333
00:18:59,405 --> 00:19:01,449
You do what you have to do.

334
00:19:20,433 --> 00:19:23,457
Putting the antiseptic cream
on his sore head was awful,

335
00:19:24,373 --> 00:19:26,393
but otherwise it's actually been
a pretty good day.

336
00:19:26,405 --> 00:19:28,385
Poor little thing slept so soundly.

337
00:19:28,397 --> 00:19:29,457
Exhausted, I s'pose.

338
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:31,465
I feel guilty that I'm enjoying it.

339
00:19:32,381 --> 00:19:34,389
It's hard not to love
a sleeping baby.

340
00:19:34,405 --> 00:19:39,445
You know, I was thinking, it might be
worth getting you some help.

341
00:19:39,457 --> 00:19:41,421
What do you mean?

342
00:19:41,433 --> 00:19:44,393
I don't know. Maybe a nanny.

343
00:19:44,409 --> 00:19:47,381
I thought we agreed that I was going
to take the kids this year.

344
00:19:47,397 --> 00:19:50,405
No, you'd still have the kids. It'd
just take some of the pressure off.

345
00:19:50,421 --> 00:19:53,449
Should I be offended? Like Ash
isn't coping, she needs help.

346
00:19:53,465 --> 00:19:57,445
It's not about coping or not coping.
I'm just suggesting we try it out.

347
00:19:57,461 --> 00:20:00,429
Well, you never got a nanny.
I can't see why I should.

348
00:20:00,445 --> 00:20:03,457
Can you please check the pockets
before you put things in the wash!

349
00:20:04,373 --> 00:20:05,401
Heard that.
What?

350
00:20:05,417 --> 00:20:07,449
Guess I'm a crappy housekeeper
as well as a crappy mum.

351
00:20:07,465 --> 00:20:10,417
No, none of us are perfect.
I do things that annoy you too...

352
00:20:10,433 --> 00:20:13,465
It's fine. And you're right. Maybe
I do need some help around here.

353
00:20:14,377 --> 00:20:15,465
I'll put the dinner on.

354
00:20:37,433 --> 00:20:39,453
Did forensics find anything
in the coat?

355
00:20:40,369 --> 00:20:42,445
They hadn't looked inside the
pockets and they found blood.

356
00:20:42,461 --> 00:20:45,373
Dry-cleaning hadn't got it.
Blakely's blood?

357
00:20:45,389 --> 00:20:48,397
They're rushing the DNA through now,
but I would bet my right arm on it.

358
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:50,417
How'd you think of that?
It was all Ash, not me.

359
00:20:50,433 --> 00:20:52,405
Let me know as soon as you get
the DNA back.

360
00:20:52,421 --> 00:20:54,429
If it's positive,
forget the manslaughter deal.

361
00:20:54,441 --> 00:20:56,377
Janet, about last night...

362
00:20:56,393 --> 00:20:58,405
Heat of the moment.
Don't worry about it.

363
00:21:03,377 --> 00:21:05,405
As you know,
we can show that you were

364
00:21:05,421 --> 00:21:07,445
outside Steve Blakely's house
wearing this jacket.

365
00:21:07,461 --> 00:21:11,449
Forensics has now found blood in the
right-hand pocket of that jacket

366
00:21:11,465 --> 00:21:14,381
and DNA tests prove
that it's Mr Blakely's.

367
00:21:14,397 --> 00:21:16,401
In light of these facts, Mrs
Vasilich,

368
00:21:16,417 --> 00:21:18,405
I ask whether you'd like
to make a statement

369
00:21:18,417 --> 00:21:20,389
regarding Steven Blakely's death?

370
00:21:25,377 --> 00:21:29,393
I went to his house, when I heard
that he was going to jail.

371
00:21:29,409 --> 00:21:36,453
I thought, this is my last chance
to confront him about my daughter.

372
00:21:37,369 --> 00:21:40,409
And was Mr Blakely at home
when you arrived?

373
00:21:40,421 --> 00:21:44,393
I knocked on the door.

374
00:21:44,409 --> 00:21:50,389
I could see that the lights were on,
but no-one answered.

375
00:21:50,405 --> 00:21:55,449
So what'd you do?
I was angry, and, um...

376
00:21:59,393 --> 00:22:01,409
I started shouting at him
through the door.

377
00:22:01,421 --> 00:22:03,409
I called him a coward.

378
00:22:04,417 --> 00:22:06,373
Was there an answer?

379
00:22:06,385 --> 00:22:09,441
No. And it made me angrier.

380
00:22:09,453 --> 00:22:13,421
The fact that he was ignoring me.

381
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:15,461
So I went round the back.

382
00:22:16,373 --> 00:22:18,417
I knocked on the back door.

383
00:22:18,429 --> 00:22:21,437
When I hit it, it swung open.

384
00:22:21,449 --> 00:22:23,385
And then?

385
00:22:23,397 --> 00:22:25,409
I went inside.

386
00:22:25,425 --> 00:22:30,429
It was quiet, and I saw him...
on the floor.

387
00:22:30,441 --> 00:22:33,449
Steven Blakely?

388
00:22:33,465 --> 00:22:36,377
Was he breathing?
I don't know.

389
00:22:36,393 --> 00:22:40,393
I bent down to have a look,
I put my hand in blood.

390
00:22:41,417 --> 00:22:44,461
There was a pool of it... on the
floor.

391
00:22:45,377 --> 00:22:47,465
And then?
Then I walked out.

392
00:22:48,377 --> 00:22:49,413
You walked out,

393
00:22:49,429 --> 00:22:52,425
even though Steven Blakely
appeared to be seriously injured?

394
00:22:52,437 --> 00:22:56,425
I was scared. I rang my son.

395
00:22:56,437 --> 00:22:58,429
I asked him for help.

396
00:22:58,445 --> 00:23:00,441
Mrs Vasilich,
did you in any way contribute

397
00:23:00,453 --> 00:23:02,425
to the injuries Mr Blakely suffered?

398
00:23:02,437 --> 00:23:05,409
No, I did not. I swear.

399
00:23:05,425 --> 00:23:10,453
I even called an ambulance later,
after we left.

400
00:23:11,369 --> 00:23:13,465
Hang on, you...
You called an ambulance?

401
00:23:14,377 --> 00:23:15,421
Triple zero.

402
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:19,453
I know, I should have
called them sooner,

403
00:23:20,369 --> 00:23:26,393
but somehow I just knew
you were gonna blame me for this.

404
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:28,389
No, I don't know, I don't...

405
00:23:28,405 --> 00:23:31,461
But you need to go there now.
He's injured, bleeding.

406
00:23:32,377 --> 00:23:34,417
- Is there anyone with him?
- No, look...

407
00:23:34,433 --> 00:23:40,369
He's at 58 Spencer Street.
Just go there, please.

408
00:23:40,385 --> 00:23:42,377
Hello?
It's her voice alright.

409
00:23:42,393 --> 00:23:45,389
The call came from a public phone
at the hospital where her son works.

410
00:23:45,405 --> 00:23:48,433
Why didn't we hear about this sooner?
Ambo said they went to the address,

411
00:23:48,449 --> 00:23:51,417
knocked on the door, had a look
around, no answer, so they left,

412
00:23:51,429 --> 00:23:53,425
presumed it was a prank call.

413
00:23:53,437 --> 00:23:55,425
OK, how do we deal with this?

414
00:23:55,437 --> 00:23:57,369
Well, it could go to intention.

415
00:23:57,385 --> 00:23:59,377
The defence will say that
a call to triple zero

416
00:23:59,393 --> 00:24:00,465
indicates she lacked intention to
kill.

417
00:24:01,381 --> 00:24:04,381
The question is what her intention
was at the time she harmed Blakely.

418
00:24:04,397 --> 00:24:06,389
She may have suffered remorse.
Not relevant.

419
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:09,421
But we're saying that they'd already
taken the body away in Blakely's car

420
00:24:09,437 --> 00:24:11,413
so why send an ambulance
to an empty house?

421
00:24:11,429 --> 00:24:13,437
People in extreme situations
do strange things.

422
00:24:13,453 --> 00:24:16,405
OK, but you're going to need
to make sense of it for the jury.

423
00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:19,401
If we can, fine. It's not fatal.
We can prove she was there.

424
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:21,413
Her story about what happens
is implausible,

425
00:24:21,429 --> 00:24:24,429
and we've got the blood.
Should be enough.

426
00:24:29,377 --> 00:24:31,457
Just give me a couple of minutes.
I'll meet you inside.

427
00:24:38,405 --> 00:24:39,453
Hi.
Hi.

428
00:24:40,369 --> 00:24:43,465
I hope Andy or Jack have been keeping
you up to speed with how we're going.

429
00:24:44,377 --> 00:24:46,437
Yeah, they have, thanks.

430
00:24:46,449 --> 00:24:48,433
I can understand your anger.

431
00:24:48,449 --> 00:24:51,457
In your father's matter, I was
arguing strongly for a jail sentence.

432
00:24:52,369 --> 00:24:55,389
Yeah, you were. 8-10 years, right?

433
00:24:55,405 --> 00:24:57,425
I just want to assure you
I'll be arguing just as hard

434
00:24:57,441 --> 00:24:59,433
to see his killers convicted
in this trial.

435
00:24:59,449 --> 00:25:01,381
You better.
I will.

436
00:25:01,393 --> 00:25:03,437
I'm there for him, and for you.

437
00:25:06,437 --> 00:25:08,385
Jack reckons you can't lose.

438
00:25:08,401 --> 00:25:11,461
Well, it's a jury trial,
so anything's possible.

439
00:25:12,377 --> 00:25:14,441
But something's got to go our way,
doesn't it?

440
00:25:14,453 --> 00:25:17,409
I hope so, Drew. It's a strong case.

441
00:25:17,421 --> 00:25:19,393
More than that, we just can't say.

442
00:25:23,441 --> 00:25:27,393
We've all heard the expression,
'anything is possible',

443
00:25:27,409 --> 00:25:31,385
and of course in one sense,
you know, that's true.

444
00:25:31,401 --> 00:25:38,441
My four-year-old niece says there
are invisible fairies in her garden,

445
00:25:38,457 --> 00:25:41,457
and I can't really prove
that she's wrong.

446
00:25:42,369 --> 00:25:43,433
Well, not a hundred percent.

447
00:25:43,449 --> 00:25:48,381
But in real life, we don't trouble
ourselves with mere possibilities.

448
00:25:48,397 --> 00:25:51,413
We know that some things are so
unlikely, we can safely dismiss them.

449
00:25:51,429 --> 00:25:54,385
Well, the law takes exactly
the same attitude.

450
00:25:54,401 --> 00:25:57,445
In the course of this trial,
the defence will offer you

451
00:25:57,461 --> 00:26:00,369
an account of what happened
to Steven Blakely.

452
00:26:00,381 --> 00:26:02,405
It's a story in which Dianne Vasilich

453
00:26:02,421 --> 00:26:06,417
just happened to go to Mr Blakely's
house on the night he died,

454
00:26:06,429 --> 00:26:08,393
just happened to find the door open,

455
00:26:08,409 --> 00:26:11,397
just happened to find Mr Blakely
on the floor, unconscious,

456
00:26:11,413 --> 00:26:13,397
just happened to put her hand
in his blood,

457
00:26:13,413 --> 00:26:16,397
and then just happened
to flee the scene.

458
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:18,409
The defence will point out

459
00:26:18,425 --> 00:26:21,421
that all of this is possible,
and of course it is.

460
00:26:21,437 --> 00:26:24,389
It's possible,
but it's not the kind of possibility

461
00:26:24,401 --> 00:26:26,373
we normally waste our time with.

462
00:26:27,389 --> 00:26:29,373
And neither does the law.

463
00:26:29,389 --> 00:26:35,369
By comparison, the Crown will offer
you a credible, persuasive account

464
00:26:35,385 --> 00:26:38,413
of what happened, the only account
that makes sense of all the facts

465
00:26:38,429 --> 00:26:41,401
without requiring you
to believe in fairytales.

466
00:26:44,421 --> 00:26:46,385
Nothing further, Your Honour.

467
00:26:46,397 --> 00:26:47,461
Miss Warden.

468
00:26:50,409 --> 00:26:53,377
The Crown has claimed
that their version of events

469
00:26:53,393 --> 00:26:56,381
is the only one that makes sense
of all the facts.

470
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:59,413
Yet there are many facts
that do not fit their account.

471
00:26:59,429 --> 00:27:04,457
Facts that they will ignore or
downplay. But still, they are facts.

472
00:27:05,369 --> 00:27:08,381
That they are yet to produce a body.

473
00:27:08,397 --> 00:27:11,413
That Dianne Vasilich
made a triple zero call

474
00:27:11,429 --> 00:27:14,397
the night Steven Blakely
disappeared,

475
00:27:14,409 --> 00:27:17,381
sending an ambulance to his home.

476
00:27:17,397 --> 00:27:21,465
Would a killer really do that?
And why?

477
00:27:22,381 --> 00:27:26,441
That Dianne Vasilich
overcame and murdered a man

478
00:27:26,453 --> 00:27:29,413
of Steven Blakely's size and power,

479
00:27:29,429 --> 00:27:31,397
that's probably troubled you
already,

480
00:27:31,413 --> 00:27:34,437
struck you as unlikely,
and so it should.

481
00:27:34,453 --> 00:27:38,369
But the most troubling part
of the Crown's case

482
00:27:38,381 --> 00:27:41,369
is that Dianne Vasilich is a woman

483
00:27:41,385 --> 00:27:47,389
with absolutely no history
of criminality or violence,

484
00:27:47,405 --> 00:27:50,385
whose only argument
with her supposed victim

485
00:27:50,401 --> 00:27:55,405
was that he may not have
investigated her daughter's murder

486
00:27:55,417 --> 00:27:56,453
with sufficient energy.

487
00:27:57,369 --> 00:28:00,457
That is a reason to be frustrated,
perhaps to make a complaint,

488
00:28:01,373 --> 00:28:04,405
maybe even to write to a newspaper,
but to kill?

489
00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:06,417
Is that really plausible?

490
00:28:06,433 --> 00:28:09,429
Yet this is what the Crown case
relies upon.

491
00:28:09,445 --> 00:28:13,425
The only credible account
of the night's events.

492
00:28:16,413 --> 00:28:18,381
Thank you, Your Honour.

493
00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:24,441
Well, so far,
everything we expected.

494
00:28:26,425 --> 00:28:31,453
So you're on the way to the
Committal? Yep. How do I look?

495
00:28:32,369 --> 00:28:33,401
Fabulous.
Credible?

496
00:28:33,417 --> 00:28:35,393
Very.
Fabulously credible.

497
00:28:35,405 --> 00:28:37,377
I'm sure you'll be terrific.

498
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,441
So how's Owen? Not too pushy?

499
00:28:40,457 --> 00:28:42,425
No, fine.
On top of his brief?

500
00:28:42,441 --> 00:28:44,445
He's talked you through your
evidence? Yep.

501
00:28:44,457 --> 00:28:47,397
You'll be fine.

502
00:28:47,413 --> 00:28:51,425
We're about to walk over. Are you...
Ready? Yes. All set. Let's go.

503
00:28:51,441 --> 00:28:55,401
Hey, listen, your identity is still
unknown to the offenders,

504
00:28:55,417 --> 00:28:57,417
so there's no need to be
intimidated.

505
00:28:57,433 --> 00:28:58,465
I'm not.
Good.

506
00:28:59,381 --> 00:29:01,441
But they do know that I'm
prosecuting,

507
00:29:01,457 --> 00:29:05,369
so it might be easier for you
if we're not all together.

508
00:29:05,385 --> 00:29:07,429
Oh, sure.
OK.

509
00:29:20,373 --> 00:29:21,421
Wanker.

510
00:29:21,437 --> 00:29:24,461
How's it going, ladies?

511
00:29:56,433 --> 00:29:58,381
You want a moment?

512
00:29:59,433 --> 00:30:02,389
I... I can't.

513
00:30:02,405 --> 00:30:05,405
Yes, you can.
No.

514
00:30:05,417 --> 00:30:07,397
No, come on, we can do it together.

515
00:30:07,413 --> 00:30:10,393
Erin, Erin, Erin, Erin!
Erin, it's gonna be OK.

516
00:30:10,409 --> 00:30:11,784
It's gonna be alright.
No, you go.

517
00:30:11,881 --> 00:30:13,449
Are you kidding?
I'll get you home.

518
00:30:13,465 --> 00:30:15,425
No, you have to.
Erin...

519
00:30:15,437 --> 00:30:17,461
I'll get a cab. Don't worry. Go.

520
00:30:23,377 --> 00:30:25,437
Your Honour, as you know,
one of the Crown's key witnesses

521
00:30:25,449 --> 00:30:27,429
has sadly taken ill very suddenly.

522
00:30:27,445 --> 00:30:30,461
However, we believe
that Mr Collard's confession

523
00:30:31,381 --> 00:30:34,405
along with his detailed statement
against Mr Franzen are more than enough

524
00:30:34,421 --> 00:30:37,369
to establish a prima facie case
against both men

525
00:30:37,385 --> 00:30:39,425
in respect of the crime
with which they are charged.

526
00:30:39,441 --> 00:30:42,441
In that case, the witness is yours,
Mr Hadley.

527
00:30:42,461 --> 00:30:46,393
Mr Collard, in the course of giving your
statement you were shown a photograph

528
00:30:46,409 --> 00:30:49,417
of two men alleged to be the
murderers of Ms Petrakis.

529
00:30:49,437 --> 00:30:52,457
You were then asked to identify
whether one of those men is Mr Franzen.

530
00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:58,437
You answered, 'Yeah, well, yeah,
looks like him, doesn't it?'

531
00:30:58,449 --> 00:31:00,445
Yeah.

532
00:31:00,461 --> 00:31:04,433
That statement, 'looks like him',
what'd you base that on?

533
00:31:04,449 --> 00:31:09,401
The man's face is covered in the
photo. His leather is plain black.

534
00:31:09,413 --> 00:31:10,449
Well, mate, they had us.

535
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:14,385
You know, I mean, we were fucked anyway,
so we might as well get on with it.

536
00:31:14,401 --> 00:31:16,453
Drop me in it, ya mouthy little
prick, I'll fuckin' kill ya!

537
00:31:16,465 --> 00:31:18,401
Restrain this man!

538
00:31:18,417 --> 00:31:20,393
You're a gutless piece of shit,
Collard.

539
00:31:20,409 --> 00:31:22,413
You're a piece of shit, Collard!
I'll kill ya!

540
00:31:22,425 --> 00:31:24,389
You're fuckin' dead, you...

541
00:31:24,405 --> 00:31:26,385
Remove the prisoner from the
courtroom

542
00:31:26,397 --> 00:31:28,381
and return him to his cell.

543
00:31:28,397 --> 00:31:30,453
Clear the court.
I'm adjourning this matter.

544
00:31:35,373 --> 00:31:36,437
Yes, anyone.

545
00:31:36,453 --> 00:31:40,437
Any potential nanny must have
a police check before we interview.

546
00:31:43,389 --> 00:31:45,413
I think it's going to be
a late one tonight.

547
00:31:45,425 --> 00:31:47,409
Sorry, darl. Thanks, bye.

548
00:31:47,425 --> 00:31:50,441
I just got a revised list of defence
witnesses for the Vasilich matter.

549
00:31:50,457 --> 00:31:54,433
And?
They're calling Dianne, tomorrow.

550
00:31:55,433 --> 00:31:58,417
Pull out her statement and
the police background file on her.

551
00:31:58,429 --> 00:32:00,385
I need all we've got.

552
00:32:04,417 --> 00:32:10,377
I know it was wrong, and stupid,
leaving him there, injured.

553
00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:11,421
So why did you do it?

554
00:32:11,433 --> 00:32:13,433
After my daughter was murdered,

555
00:32:13,449 --> 00:32:15,445
my experience with the police
wasn't good.

556
00:32:15,457 --> 00:32:19,385
They talked down to me. Arrogant.

557
00:32:19,397 --> 00:32:22,389
Soon I didn't trust them anymore.

558
00:32:22,405 --> 00:32:24,389
The prosecution allege that this was
your motive

559
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:27,449
for killing Steven Blakely the
resentment that you felt towards him

560
00:32:27,461 --> 00:32:29,421
and towards the police in general,

561
00:32:29,437 --> 00:32:33,369
after the death of your daughter.
Did you feel such resentment?

562
00:32:33,385 --> 00:32:38,445
I don't hate the police.
I didn't hate Steven Blakely.

563
00:32:38,461 --> 00:32:40,457
I just wanted justice for my
daughter.

564
00:32:41,373 --> 00:32:43,465
That's all I've ever wanted,
all these years.

565
00:32:44,381 --> 00:32:47,449
Same as any mother.
So Mr Blakely's death,

566
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:51,369
if he is dead,
how do you feel about that?

567
00:32:51,385 --> 00:32:53,373
Terrible.
Why?

568
00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:55,397
Because I want to find
my daughter's killer.

569
00:32:55,413 --> 00:32:59,405
How would hurting Steven Blakely
help me?

570
00:32:59,421 --> 00:33:04,413
Thank you, Mrs Vasilich.
No more questions.

571
00:33:07,385 --> 00:33:08,409
Madam Crown.

572
00:33:16,405 --> 00:33:18,461
Mrs Vasilich, your daughter was,
by all accounts,

573
00:33:19,377 --> 00:33:21,445
exceptionally beautiful
and vivacious, yes?

574
00:33:21,457 --> 00:33:22,465
Yes.

575
00:33:23,381 --> 00:33:25,369
The world was her oyster,
you might say.

576
00:33:25,381 --> 00:33:28,369
For a while.

577
00:33:28,385 --> 00:33:30,465
So why did she turn
to prostitution?

578
00:33:31,377 --> 00:33:32,421
I don't know.

579
00:33:32,441 --> 00:33:35,445
Did it coincide with a bitter
separation between you and your husband?

580
00:33:35,461 --> 00:33:38,393
Objection, Your Honour.
Is this relevant?

581
00:33:38,409 --> 00:33:41,429
Your Honour, my learned colleague
cannot call the accused to the box

582
00:33:41,449 --> 00:33:45,381
and then object to me asking
questions relating to motive and character.

583
00:33:45,393 --> 00:33:46,429
She made it an issue.

584
00:33:46,445 --> 00:33:49,449
Overruled, but keep it relevant,
please.

585
00:33:51,385 --> 00:33:56,429
Is it true your daughter felt utterly
betrayed when her father left?

586
00:33:56,441 --> 00:33:58,385
It hurt us all.

587
00:33:58,401 --> 00:34:00,429
But her closest bond
was with her father, wasn't it?

588
00:34:00,445 --> 00:34:03,377
And he had just abandoned her.
And me.

589
00:34:03,393 --> 00:34:06,385
You didn't even know what happened
to Oriana after that, did you?

590
00:34:06,401 --> 00:34:08,405
There was a complete estrangement
for two years

591
00:34:08,417 --> 00:34:09,465
and then suddenly she was dead.

592
00:34:10,381 --> 00:34:12,381
I put it to you that you
had to find who killed her

593
00:34:12,397 --> 00:34:14,417
because otherwise,
you could only blame yourself.

594
00:34:14,429 --> 00:34:15,449
I just wanted justice for...

595
00:34:15,465 --> 00:34:18,437
No, you desperately needed someone
to get you off the hook.

596
00:34:18,453 --> 00:34:20,465
That's why it became obsessive,
wasn't it?

597
00:34:21,381 --> 00:34:24,401
Because it wasn't just a frustration
with a lack of justice.

598
00:34:24,417 --> 00:34:27,369
It was a mother's guilt.
I just wanted justice, alright?

599
00:34:27,385 --> 00:34:29,425
When she was hurting most,
you weren't there for her.

600
00:34:29,441 --> 00:34:31,373
That's a lie.
Is it?

601
00:34:31,389 --> 00:34:34,405
I wasn't obsessive
and I didn't hate anyone.

602
00:34:34,417 --> 00:34:37,401
I just wanted justice for Oriana!

603
00:34:47,405 --> 00:34:49,405
No more questions, Your Honour.

604
00:34:56,397 --> 00:34:59,465
Lina, you got those two bikies
past the committal?

605
00:35:00,381 --> 00:35:03,457
Yep, heading for trial and hopefully
inside for a very, very long time.

606
00:35:04,369 --> 00:35:05,465
Good. How's Erin?

607
00:35:06,377 --> 00:35:07,449
She's not answering.

608
00:35:07,465 --> 00:35:11,373
I sent her a text and she came back
that she's fine,

609
00:35:11,389 --> 00:35:13,144
got a migraine,
back in the office asap.

610
00:35:13,145 --> 00:35:14,638
Well, maybe she's just got a
migraine.

611
00:35:14,738 --> 00:35:17,413
- Janet, I... - If that's her story,
it's my story too.

612
00:35:17,425 --> 00:35:18,461
OK. What?

613
00:35:19,077 --> 00:35:20,797
I wanted to warn you
that Maya Blakely is...

614
00:35:20,830 --> 00:35:22,385
Right behind me, thank you.

615
00:35:22,397 --> 00:35:23,425
I was explaining to Maya

616
00:35:23,441 --> 00:35:25,413
about how unusual that sort of day
in court is...

617
00:35:25,429 --> 00:35:27,401
Yeah, could I just have a minute,
please?

618
00:35:27,413 --> 00:35:28,461
OK, bye.

619
00:35:31,421 --> 00:35:35,369
I spent a long time hating you.
I know.

620
00:35:35,385 --> 00:35:37,385
But I really loved you in there
just then.

621
00:35:37,401 --> 00:35:39,437
I wish you could have gone on
for another hour or two.

622
00:35:39,453 --> 00:35:42,425
Sadly, I think I might have
gone on too long.

623
00:35:42,441 --> 00:35:45,433
When the judge sums it up for the
jury, she'll probably tell him

624
00:35:45,449 --> 00:35:48,381
to ignore anything
that isn't supported by evidence.

625
00:35:48,397 --> 00:35:51,401
Weren't you watching the jury? They
could see that you got it right.

626
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:53,381
I could too.
I know. I know you did.

627
00:35:53,393 --> 00:35:54,445
That was the plan.

628
00:35:54,461 --> 00:35:57,409
Just to leave them with a feeling
they can't quite ignore,

629
00:35:57,421 --> 00:35:58,457
even if they're told to.

630
00:35:59,373 --> 00:36:01,425
Are you telling me
it's seriously still in doubt?

631
00:36:01,441 --> 00:36:04,373
It's always in doubt, Maya,
until the jury comes back.

632
00:36:04,389 --> 00:36:08,389
Well, we'll just...
We'll just see then, hey?

633
00:36:08,405 --> 00:36:10,465
I appreciate your honesty.
Thank you.

634
00:36:11,377 --> 00:36:12,405
That's alright.

635
00:36:12,417 --> 00:36:14,417
Janet, have you got five?

636
00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:18,401
About what? Erin? No. Something a bit
unusual, actually.

637
00:36:18,417 --> 00:36:21,461
One of my accused wants to confess,
but he won't talk to me.

638
00:36:22,373 --> 00:36:23,433
He insists on telling you.

639
00:36:23,449 --> 00:36:26,377
One of the bikies?
Yes. Toby Franzen.

640
00:36:26,389 --> 00:36:27,425
Why does he want to talk to me?

641
00:36:27,441 --> 00:36:30,377
He won't say, and usually
we'd just tell him to fuck off.

642
00:36:30,393 --> 00:36:32,401
But if he's going to confess
to the murder charge,

643
00:36:32,413 --> 00:36:33,449
I'm not gonna argue with him.

644
00:36:34,369 --> 00:36:36,461
Maybe he thinks you're a softer
target when it comes to making a deal.

645
00:36:37,377 --> 00:36:39,393
Bullshit.
If it is bullshit, just walk away.

646
00:36:40,421 --> 00:36:42,437
So how's your thing going?

647
00:36:42,453 --> 00:36:45,393
That bitch you've got
for the Blakely murder.

648
00:36:45,405 --> 00:36:47,393
I'm sorry, did you want to see me

649
00:36:47,409 --> 00:36:49,417
about the Petrakis murder
or the Blakely murder?

650
00:36:49,429 --> 00:36:52,385
Blakely? Dianne Vasilich.

651
00:36:52,401 --> 00:36:55,417
I got a real good story about her.
Do you know Mrs Vasilich?

652
00:36:55,429 --> 00:36:56,441
Fuck yeah.

653
00:36:56,457 --> 00:36:59,377
Met her in our chapter pub
up in Parramatta,

654
00:36:59,389 --> 00:37:00,425
about ten years ago now.

655
00:37:00,441 --> 00:37:02,461
She comes in all worked up,
looking for some muscle.

656
00:37:03,377 --> 00:37:05,377
Looking to hire some muscle?
Yeah.

657
00:37:05,393 --> 00:37:08,389
Bartender thought she was fuckin'
nuts, but still, he pointed me out

658
00:37:08,405 --> 00:37:10,437
and told her to go see
the mad bastard in the corner.

659
00:37:10,453 --> 00:37:15,377
She comes over, she's all stressed,
red-faced and shit.

660
00:37:15,389 --> 00:37:16,437
Said she needed some help.

661
00:37:16,453 --> 00:37:19,405
Said she'd been trying to get this
bloke to tell her for ages

662
00:37:19,421 --> 00:37:22,405
who had knocked off her daughter.
Anyway, she was sick of his shit.

663
00:37:22,417 --> 00:37:23,671
I said, 'Fair enough. Who is he?'

664
00:37:23,672 --> 00:37:27,401
And she says, 'It's Steve Blakely'.

665
00:37:27,413 --> 00:37:29,465
Turns out her daughter was Oriana.

666
00:37:30,381 --> 00:37:32,373
Bit of a famous case in the day,
yeah?

667
00:37:32,389 --> 00:37:36,369
Did you know Oriana?
Yeah. Yeah, we all did.

668
00:37:36,385 --> 00:37:41,073
Yeah, we liked her too.
She was a real good chick, Oriana.

669
00:37:41,123 --> 00:37:42,425
What'd you say to Mrs Vasilich?

670
00:37:42,441 --> 00:37:46,393
Said he probably wouldn't talk,
not unless we really belted him.

671
00:37:46,405 --> 00:37:47,992
She said belt him, she didn't care.

672
00:37:48,369 --> 00:37:49,768
And I said we might have to...

673
00:37:50,441 --> 00:37:54,401
Said we might have
to finish the job after that,

674
00:37:54,417 --> 00:37:57,369
and for that,
she'd be looking at 20 grand.

675
00:37:57,385 --> 00:38:01,381
But I'd need 10 of it up front.
She didn't even blink.

676
00:38:01,397 --> 00:38:03,417
So she paid you the cash?
Yeah.

677
00:38:03,433 --> 00:38:05,465
Went off, came back an hour later,
handed it over.

678
00:38:06,381 --> 00:38:08,381
And?
And what?

679
00:38:08,397 --> 00:38:11,373
What'd you do?
Nothin'.

680
00:38:11,389 --> 00:38:14,405
I wasn't gonna go near Steve
Blakely. A top cop like him?

681
00:38:14,421 --> 00:38:16,373
What do you think I am, fuckin'
crazy?

682
00:38:16,389 --> 00:38:18,369
So you just took the money?
Yeah.

683
00:38:18,385 --> 00:38:20,413
What was she gonna do, go to the
cops?

684
00:38:20,425 --> 00:38:23,413
Easiest 10 grand I ever made.

685
00:38:26,457 --> 00:38:28,429
It's a pretty good story, yeah?

686
00:38:28,445 --> 00:38:30,437
And you'll give this evidence in
court?

687
00:38:34,409 --> 00:38:38,409
You get me immunity from prosecution
for this drive-by thing, yeah.

688
00:38:38,421 --> 00:38:40,389
I'll go to your court,

689
00:38:40,405 --> 00:38:42,461
I'll take an oath and I'll tell 'em
everything I know.

690
00:38:45,417 --> 00:38:47,381
He's bullshitting.

691
00:38:47,397 --> 00:38:49,413
Dianne withdrew 10 grand
from her savings account

692
00:38:49,429 --> 00:38:51,421
on the afternoon Franzen says
he met with her.

693
00:38:51,433 --> 00:38:53,377
And the bartender's confirmed it.

694
00:38:53,393 --> 00:38:56,373
I understand where you're coming
from but I'm not gonna agree...

695
00:38:56,389 --> 00:38:58,453
Tony, I need to convince my jury
that a grief-stricken mother

696
00:38:59,369 --> 00:39:01,377
has a violent and obsessive streak
and now I can.

697
00:39:01,393 --> 00:39:03,409
These men executed a key witness
in a murder trial.

698
00:39:03,425 --> 00:39:05,429
That has profound
public policy implications.

699
00:39:05,445 --> 00:39:07,413
As does killing a senior police
officer.

700
00:39:07,429 --> 00:39:09,405
Sure, but let's take
a wider perspective.

701
00:39:09,421 --> 00:39:11,457
How are we gonna look if someone
as notorious as Franzen

702
00:39:12,373 --> 00:39:14,425
can walk out a free man?
What are the headlines going to say?

703
00:39:14,441 --> 00:39:17,381
Petrakis shooter convicted,
hopefully. Huh, you reckon?

704
00:39:17,393 --> 00:39:18,437
When I play Collard's confession,

705
00:39:18,453 --> 00:39:20,445
everyone's gonna know
it was Franzen's idea.

706
00:39:20,461 --> 00:39:23,429
He's the mastermind. We're going to
be accused of convicting

707
00:39:23,445 --> 00:39:26,417
the guy who lit the Reichstag fire
and letting Hitler walk away.

708
00:39:26,429 --> 00:39:28,373
Collard isn't that much of a patsy.

709
00:39:28,389 --> 00:39:30,405
He did shoot Zebina Petrakis
and he will go to jail.

710
00:39:30,425 --> 00:39:33,425
And if the woman who killed Steve
Blakely does too, that's a double win.

711
00:39:33,441 --> 00:39:35,449
I mean, if we're taking
a wider perspective here,

712
00:39:35,461 --> 00:39:37,397
isn't that the best outcome?

713
00:39:37,413 --> 00:39:40,425
Can you even call Franzen as a
witness? Haven't you already...

714
00:39:40,441 --> 00:39:43,393
I'll make an application to reopen.
If the judge says no?

715
00:39:43,409 --> 00:39:46,377
I thought you wanted to see
Steve Blakely's killer convicted.

716
00:39:46,393 --> 00:39:48,457
Well, excuse me, but I thought
you already had enough to do it.

717
00:39:49,373 --> 00:39:51,393
From a supposed friend of the family.
Enough!

718
00:39:51,409 --> 00:39:53,453
Stop there, both of you.
Don't get personal.

719
00:39:53,465 --> 00:39:55,421
Let me think on it.

720
00:39:55,433 --> 00:39:59,449
And while I am, you two, play nice!

721
00:40:09,413 --> 00:40:11,449
Is this running away?

722
00:40:11,465 --> 00:40:13,437
No, it's a ciggie break
without a ciggie.

723
00:40:13,453 --> 00:40:15,445
God, I wish I still smoked.
Can we just...

724
00:40:15,461 --> 00:40:18,445
Let's just chat, without the shouting
and the name calling, OK?

725
00:40:18,461 --> 00:40:21,385
He's the new boy, Janet.
He feels isolated.

726
00:40:21,401 --> 00:40:23,401
He's an arrogant, patronising show
pony.

727
00:40:23,413 --> 00:40:24,712
What was that about name calling?

728
00:40:24,741 --> 00:40:26,461
And before you say any more,
I should tell you.

729
00:40:26,577 --> 00:40:28,327
I'm inclined to agree with him.
What?

730
00:40:28,461 --> 00:40:31,425
You've closed the case. Chances of
getting leave to reopen it

731
00:40:31,445 --> 00:40:34,445
will depend on whether Justice Cousins
had a good night's sleep or not.

732
00:40:34,461 --> 00:40:36,413
You have told me
I must win this case.

733
00:40:36,429 --> 00:40:40,413
Don't say that and then stop me from
leading this evidence. It's critical.

734
00:40:42,461 --> 00:40:44,413
Being the Director of the DPP

735
00:40:44,429 --> 00:40:46,421
is a royal pain in the arse, you
know that.

736
00:40:46,437 --> 00:40:49,401
And you love every minute of it.
Ha!

737
00:41:09,377 --> 00:41:11,373
Hello, mate. Thanks for
coming.

738
00:41:11,385 --> 00:41:12,421
It's an honour.

739
00:41:12,437 --> 00:41:14,461
To be pressured by a police officer
of your standing.

740
00:41:16,449 --> 00:41:19,465
You're a sharp bastard, aye.
Oh, it doesn't take Einstein.

741
00:41:20,381 --> 00:41:22,425
Open rooftop,
away from prying eyes and ears.

742
00:41:22,437 --> 00:41:24,417
So, what am I gonna tell ya?

743
00:41:24,433 --> 00:41:27,393
Well, I imagine
it's along the lines of,

744
00:41:27,409 --> 00:41:30,369
'Steven Blakely was a cop.
I was a cop.

745
00:41:30,385 --> 00:41:32,417
And we've always got to
look after the boys in the job.'

746
00:41:32,429 --> 00:41:34,377
Bang on.

747
00:41:34,389 --> 00:41:35,453
Well, partly.

748
00:41:36,369 --> 00:41:39,369
I would say that and if I did say
that I'd mean it.

749
00:41:39,385 --> 00:41:42,373
But then I'd be telling you something
you already know, wouldn't I?

750
00:41:43,429 --> 00:41:45,413
Oh, yeah, what is it I don't know?

751
00:41:45,429 --> 00:41:48,433
The thing you don't know is that
by agreeing to this immunity,

752
00:41:48,449 --> 00:41:51,433
it could be a smart move for you
as well as Janet.

753
00:41:54,461 --> 00:41:58,461
OK. I'm still listening.

754
00:42:01,429 --> 00:42:04,393
What's your big goal for the year,
Owen?

755
00:42:04,409 --> 00:42:06,409
I'm not talking about individual
trials.

756
00:42:06,425 --> 00:42:09,193
I mean, in a career sense.
Senior Counsel.

757
00:42:09,205 --> 00:42:10,447
Thought it might have been that.

758
00:42:10,448 --> 00:42:12,449
What is it with that?
Some sort of prestige, wanky...

759
00:42:12,461 --> 00:42:14,381
Fuck no, it's the money.

760
00:42:14,397 --> 00:42:17,377
SCs get paid twice as much
as a normal barrister.

761
00:42:17,393 --> 00:42:19,401
You know that every time a barrister
applies

762
00:42:19,413 --> 00:42:21,405
for the Senior Counsel position,

763
00:42:21,417 --> 00:42:23,389
well, the silk committee,

764
00:42:23,405 --> 00:42:25,437
they appoint a colleague to keep an
eye on him,

765
00:42:25,453 --> 00:42:29,401
and then report back
as to his suitability.

766
00:42:29,417 --> 00:42:31,385
They've got Janet King looking at
me?

767
00:42:33,385 --> 00:42:34,421
Bullshit.

768
00:42:34,433 --> 00:42:36,405
Like I said, you're a sharp one.

769
00:42:36,421 --> 00:42:38,453
That's got your attention,
hasn't it?

770
00:42:47,389 --> 00:42:49,457
Ah, come in.

771
00:42:51,449 --> 00:42:53,381
Hi.

772
00:42:53,393 --> 00:42:57,385
So... I assume you've decided.

773
00:42:57,401 --> 00:43:00,465
Yes. We're giving Franzen
his immunity in exchange

774
00:43:01,381 --> 00:43:03,429
for the evidence you require
in the Blakely matter.

775
00:43:05,413 --> 00:43:07,409
Appreciated.
Pleasure.

776
00:43:07,425 --> 00:43:09,445
Got out on the right side of the bed
today, did we?

777
00:43:09,461 --> 00:43:15,397
No, actually something you
said just really stuck with me.

778
00:43:15,413 --> 00:43:17,453
You called me
a 'supposed friend of the family'.

779
00:43:18,369 --> 00:43:21,437
Couldn't stop thinking
about Drew and Maya after that.

780
00:43:21,453 --> 00:43:24,449
Everything they've been through,
with Sally and then Steve.

781
00:43:24,461 --> 00:43:28,417
And you know I, ah, called Jack

782
00:43:28,429 --> 00:43:30,369
and he's been talking to them,

783
00:43:30,385 --> 00:43:33,465
and they really feel that you partly
want to win this for them.

784
00:43:34,381 --> 00:43:37,433
Which must give them a sense
that somebody still cares.

785
00:43:37,449 --> 00:43:39,425
And I couldn't help feeling that
sometimes

786
00:43:39,441 --> 00:43:41,465
we have to put that sort of stuff
first.

787
00:43:42,381 --> 00:43:45,453
Anyway, just make sure you win it,
yeah?

788
00:43:45,465 --> 00:43:47,453
Um...

789
00:43:49,397 --> 00:43:51,385
Good luck with Collard.

790
00:43:51,397 --> 00:43:53,405
Thank you.

791
00:43:55,377 --> 00:43:57,401
Thanks, Tony Aah...

792
00:44:03,413 --> 00:44:06,405
Did you...?
Ah, nothing to do with me.

793
00:44:06,417 --> 00:44:10,369
Still, it's a result, right?

794
00:44:10,385 --> 00:44:12,417
Your Honour,
there's an extremely urgent matter

795
00:44:12,433 --> 00:44:15,373
which has just come to light
for the prosecution case.

796
00:44:15,385 --> 00:44:16,789
Isn't your case closed, Madam Crown?

797
00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:19,421
Which is why I'm seeking
Your Honour's leave to reopen it.

798
00:44:19,433 --> 00:44:20,702
Without any notice at all!

799
00:44:20,869 --> 00:44:22,793
Your Honour, of course
I would have led it earlier

800
00:44:22,844 --> 00:44:24,346
if it had come to hand earlier.

801
00:44:25,369 --> 00:44:27,385
But how can we hope
to answer it properly?

802
00:44:27,401 --> 00:44:30,377
The accused has a right to know the
case she's being asked to answer,

803
00:44:30,393 --> 00:44:31,875
not simply have it dumped in our
lap.

804
00:44:31,876 --> 00:44:34,393
And doesn't the prosecution
have the right to lead,

805
00:44:34,409 --> 00:44:37,377
and the jury, the right to hear,
the full story?

806
00:44:37,389 --> 00:44:39,385
Your Honour, at this late hour...

807
00:44:39,397 --> 00:44:40,682
At this late hour in the process,

808
00:44:40,683 --> 00:44:43,377
I'm reluctant to throw away
the entire trial.

809
00:44:43,389 --> 00:44:45,385
If there is a pertinent issue

810
00:44:45,401 --> 00:44:49,377
which will allow this matter
to be decided now in this court,

811
00:44:49,389 --> 00:44:51,373
then it should be heard,

812
00:44:51,389 --> 00:44:54,433
so I will allow you to reopen
your case, Madam Crown.

813
00:44:54,445 --> 00:44:56,421
Thank you, Your Honour.

814
00:44:56,433 --> 00:44:58,417
Bring the jury back in.

815
00:45:11,437 --> 00:45:14,421
Let's see how this goes over.

816
00:45:29,377 --> 00:45:31,373
I, Tobias Henry Franzen...

817
00:45:31,385 --> 00:45:32,445
I, Tobias Henry Franzen...

818
00:45:32,461 --> 00:45:35,409
..swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth

819
00:45:35,421 --> 00:45:36,599
and nothing but the truth.

820
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,433
..the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

821
00:45:38,449 --> 00:45:41,381
- So help me God.
- So help me God.

822
00:45:47,421 --> 00:45:49,461
Mr Franzen,
I'd like to ask you about

823
00:45:50,377 --> 00:45:54,441
April the 1st, 2004,
in the Lionsgate Hotel.

824
00:45:54,457 --> 00:45:57,449
Did you meet
Dianne Vasilich there that day?

825
00:45:59,373 --> 00:46:00,457
Yeah. Sure did.

826
00:46:01,369 --> 00:46:03,393
Mum. Mum!

827
00:46:03,405 --> 00:46:04,457
Someone call an ambulance!

828
00:46:05,373 --> 00:46:07,461
Clear the court.
Call a medical officer.

829
00:46:08,377 --> 00:46:10,397
Give her some room. Mum!
She's fainted.

830
00:46:17,377 --> 00:46:19,449
Well, if our list of witnesses
is settled,

831
00:46:19,461 --> 00:46:21,417
I think we might adjourn, gentlemen,

832
00:46:21,433 --> 00:46:23,465
in the hope of starting the trial
proper in the morning.

833
00:46:24,377 --> 00:46:25,421
Your Honour, if I may?

834
00:46:25,437 --> 00:46:27,429
The defence would like to ask for
one last ruling.

835
00:46:29,373 --> 00:46:30,425
Yes?

836
00:46:30,441 --> 00:46:34,373
We submit that Mr Collard's supposed
confession be ruled inadmissible.

837
00:46:34,385 --> 00:46:35,397
What?

838
00:46:35,409 --> 00:46:36,433
On close inspection,

839
00:46:36,449 --> 00:46:38,417
Your Honour will see that it was
made under duress

840
00:46:38,433 --> 00:46:40,453
and in the presence
of clear police intimidation.

841
00:46:41,369 --> 00:46:42,445
Your Honour,
no objection has been raised

842
00:46:42,461 --> 00:46:44,461
to the record of interview
prior to this time.

843
00:46:45,373 --> 00:46:46,433
Sadly, Mr Collard was so intimidated

844
00:46:46,449 --> 00:46:49,393
he only felt safe bringing it
to my attention yesterday.

845
00:46:49,405 --> 00:46:50,423
You can't rule out a confession.

846
00:46:50,424 --> 00:46:53,409
Is this intimidation evident
on the tape, Mr Hadley?

847
00:46:53,421 --> 00:46:54,445
It is, Your Honour, and...

848
00:46:54,461 --> 00:46:57,445
Your Honour, this record of
interview is entirely unremarkable-

849
00:46:57,461 --> 00:46:59,465
Mr Crown, please.
We will play a key passage.

850
00:47:00,377 --> 00:47:01,401
Thank you, Mr Hadley.

851
00:47:01,413 --> 00:47:03,465
Your Honour will note,

852
00:47:04,381 --> 00:47:06,429
Detective Sergeant Renner looms over
Mr Collard

853
00:47:06,445 --> 00:47:09,373
just prior to his making
the relevant statements,

854
00:47:09,385 --> 00:47:10,433
assuming a threatening posture.

855
00:47:10,449 --> 00:47:12,437
You seen that tattoo anywhere
before?

856
00:47:12,453 --> 00:47:14,445
You can clearly see how nervous and
scared my client is

857
00:47:14,457 --> 00:47:16,385
in this situation.

858
00:47:16,401 --> 00:47:18,409
He's just been caught.
Wouldn't you be nervous?

859
00:47:18,421 --> 00:47:19,421
And if we continue.

860
00:47:19,437 --> 00:47:22,409
Like you to take a look at this
photo

861
00:47:22,425 --> 00:47:24,445
from the CCTV footage outside the
courtroom.

862
00:47:24,461 --> 00:47:28,429
So we've got your bike,
identified you,

863
00:47:28,445 --> 00:47:31,449
we've got your gun
with your prints on it.

864
00:47:31,465 --> 00:47:35,413
Son, do you have any idea
how much trouble you're in?

865
00:47:35,425 --> 00:47:37,397
At this point, Mr Collard says

866
00:47:37,413 --> 00:47:39,421
he knew how the New South Wales
police operate,

867
00:47:39,437 --> 00:47:42,433
and he knew they were going to frame
him no matter what he said

868
00:47:42,449 --> 00:47:45,405
and he feared for his safety,
indeed his life, if he didn't...

869
00:47:45,421 --> 00:47:47,397
Your Honour, please, some common
sense.

870
00:47:47,409 --> 00:47:49,389
It's a perfectly normal interview!

871
00:47:49,405 --> 00:47:51,461
Detective Sergeant Renner
is a very imposing man, I see.

872
00:47:52,377 --> 00:47:54,401
Your Honour, Detective Renner
is merely standing up

873
00:47:54,417 --> 00:47:56,373
to show the accused some
photographs.

874
00:47:56,389 --> 00:48:00,393
At law, intimidation
can be subtle or implied.

875
00:48:00,409 --> 00:48:03,421
As long as it acts to oppress
the mind of the accused,

876
00:48:03,437 --> 00:48:06,413
coercing him into making a
confession. A man's posture...

877
00:48:06,429 --> 00:48:10,373
Detective Renner's posture is that
of a man leaning over a table.

878
00:48:10,389 --> 00:48:13,389
Detective Renner has here acted
very subtly,

879
00:48:13,405 --> 00:48:16,445
but the threat in his posture would
have been as clear to my client

880
00:48:16,461 --> 00:48:20,377
as it is to any reasonable viewer
of the tape.

881
00:48:20,393 --> 00:48:23,373
Your Honour, this submission
should be dismissed immediately.

882
00:48:23,389 --> 00:48:25,429
The accused confesses to his crime
on tape.

883
00:48:25,445 --> 00:48:27,433
It is the cornerstone
of the Crown's case.

884
00:48:27,449 --> 00:48:30,425
If the Crown and the police have been
professional and thorough

885
00:48:30,441 --> 00:48:34,445
in building evidence for their case,
they shouldn't need a confession.

886
00:48:38,417 --> 00:48:41,369
Wankers!
It's been struck out.

887
00:48:41,381 --> 00:48:43,377
Collard's confession, inadmissible.

888
00:48:43,393 --> 00:48:45,429
On what grounds?
Police intimidation.

889
00:48:45,445 --> 00:48:48,405
The learned judge thought Terry
Renner was rather imposing

890
00:48:48,421 --> 00:48:50,433
and poor little Collard
got a little bit scared.

891
00:48:50,449 --> 00:48:52,441
There must have been something in it.
Sure.

892
00:48:52,457 --> 00:48:55,373
He stood up, leant over,
put a photo in front of him.

893
00:48:55,389 --> 00:48:58,377
This is bullshit. Everything about
this system is in their favour.

894
00:48:58,393 --> 00:49:01,381
Well, that's hardly breaking news.
More to the point, where are we?

895
00:49:01,397 --> 00:49:03,405
Can we move on? What about the bike?
Wasn't it his?

896
00:49:03,421 --> 00:49:05,381
It got stolen a month ago,
apparently.

897
00:49:05,397 --> 00:49:06,869
Didn't report it as it wasn't
insured.

898
00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:08,453
And the weapon with the fingerprints.

899
00:49:09,369 --> 00:49:11,425
Lost it days ago.
Ask anyone at the clubhouse.

900
00:49:11,441 --> 00:49:13,421
He's been looking
all over the place.

901
00:49:13,437 --> 00:49:15,441
OK, I'm sensing it's going to be
a little tough.

902
00:49:15,457 --> 00:49:17,465
Luckily, we've still got
the eyewitness ID.

903
00:49:19,173 --> 00:49:20,622
The tattoo on Collard's hand.

904
00:49:21,373 --> 00:49:24,389
That is, of course,
assuming Erin's right to testify.

905
00:49:37,373 --> 00:49:38,421
Thank you.

906
00:49:41,377 --> 00:49:43,373
So it's up to me, then?

907
00:49:43,385 --> 00:49:45,377
Only if you want to.

908
00:49:47,449 --> 00:49:50,425
Look, you know all the things we say
when we want to make sure

909
00:49:50,437 --> 00:49:52,385
we get a witness in the box,

910
00:49:52,401 --> 00:49:55,457
but you also know we don't blame them
for backing out.

911
00:49:56,373 --> 00:49:59,405
Especially when
it's genuinely dangerous.

912
00:49:59,421 --> 00:50:03,401
Just for God's sake, don't do it for
me, or for Tony or anyone here.

913
00:50:03,413 --> 00:50:04,449
We understand.

914
00:50:04,465 --> 00:50:08,381
We know what happened and frankly,
we're pretty amazed you're even here.

915
00:50:08,397 --> 00:50:10,449
So if you want to do it for you
then do it. If you don't, don't.

916
00:50:10,461 --> 00:50:12,437
It's that simple.

917
00:50:15,449 --> 00:50:17,421
Ms O'Shaughnessy,

918
00:50:17,437 --> 00:50:20,453
in your statement, you said
the motorcycle was moving quickly

919
00:50:20,465 --> 00:50:22,385
when the shot was fired.

920
00:50:22,397 --> 00:50:23,433
Yes.

921
00:50:23,445 --> 00:50:25,393
It was moving quickly.

922
00:50:25,409 --> 00:50:28,405
And it came no closer to Miss
Petrakis than five metres?

923
00:50:30,373 --> 00:50:31,397
About that.

924
00:50:31,413 --> 00:50:33,449
So keeping in mind
the extremely difficult conditions

925
00:50:33,461 --> 00:50:35,417
that I've just described,

926
00:50:35,433 --> 00:50:37,465
how likely is it that you might have
been in error?

927
00:50:38,377 --> 00:50:39,449
10% chance, 20, 30?

928
00:50:39,461 --> 00:50:41,393
Objection.

929
00:50:41,405 --> 00:50:43,377
The chance is zero.

930
00:50:43,389 --> 00:50:44,397
Really?

931
00:50:44,409 --> 00:50:47,373
People miss details all the time.

932
00:50:47,385 --> 00:50:48,437
I understand that.

933
00:50:48,449 --> 00:50:51,433
But I know the tattoo was a spider

934
00:50:51,449 --> 00:50:54,405
because I can still see the moment
he fired,

935
00:50:54,417 --> 00:50:56,429
as clearly as when it happened.

936
00:50:56,441 --> 00:50:58,449
It's still in my head.

937
00:50:58,465 --> 00:51:01,449
I wish I could get rid of it,
but I can't.

938
00:51:01,461 --> 00:51:03,457
I doubt I ever will.

939
00:51:04,373 --> 00:51:06,457
So the chance that I have it wrong
is exactly zero.

940
00:51:07,373 --> 00:51:10,461
So based on this indelible memory,
you were able to accurately identify

941
00:51:11,377 --> 00:51:14,413
the spider tattoo on the shooter
of Miss Petrakis

942
00:51:14,429 --> 00:51:17,465
as the same tattoo worn by Mr
Collard?

943
00:51:18,377 --> 00:51:19,425
That's right.

944
00:51:19,437 --> 00:51:21,373
Mm.

945
00:51:21,389 --> 00:51:23,405
How many tattoos
did the police show you?

946
00:51:23,417 --> 00:51:25,373
Just one.

947
00:51:25,385 --> 00:51:27,377
I drew what I saw

948
00:51:27,393 --> 00:51:30,385
and they brought back a photo and I
said, 'Yes, that's it.'

949
00:51:30,401 --> 00:51:33,397
So to put it another way,
Miss O'Shaughnessy,

950
00:51:33,413 --> 00:51:36,421
you never identified Mr Collard
as the shooter at all.

951
00:51:36,433 --> 00:51:38,457
You merely identified a tattoo.

952
00:51:39,369 --> 00:51:41,417
Well, the tattoo on his hand.

953
00:51:41,433 --> 00:51:44,461
But was it on his hand? How many
others might have the same tattoo?

954
00:51:45,373 --> 00:51:46,409
There could he hundreds.

955
00:51:46,421 --> 00:51:47,808
Why, even in this court room?

956
00:51:48,373 --> 00:51:50,457
How many in this court room
may have the same tattoo?

957
00:51:51,373 --> 00:51:53,409
Check out me tatt, eh?

958
00:51:56,369 --> 00:51:57,437
Sit down in the gallery!

959
00:51:57,453 --> 00:51:59,461
- Stick that up ya, love!
- Sit down!

960
00:51:59,973 --> 00:52:01,392
You'll be objected from the court.

961
00:52:01,437 --> 00:52:04,437
Those are obviously fresh
tattoos done to deceive the court.

962
00:52:04,449 --> 00:52:06,433
Silence, Mr Crown, and be seated.

963
00:52:09,417 --> 00:52:11,405
Withdrawn.

964
00:52:11,421 --> 00:52:14,437
Members of the jury,
may I remind you all,

965
00:52:14,453 --> 00:52:18,385
there is no other piece of evidence
that unequivocally

966
00:52:18,401 --> 00:52:21,385
places the accused
anywhere near the crime.

967
00:52:21,401 --> 00:52:26,385
And yet the police insist the man
in the CCTV footage is Mr Collard.

968
00:52:26,401 --> 00:52:31,417
Why? Because of one tattoo,
which could be anybody's.

969
00:52:31,433 --> 00:52:34,429
Did they look harder? Did they ask
the tough questions? Never.

970
00:52:34,441 --> 00:52:35,716
Please, Your Honour, come on!

971
00:52:36,377 --> 00:52:38,377
Please what, Mr Crown?

972
00:52:39,425 --> 00:52:41,445
Withdrawn.

973
00:52:41,457 --> 00:52:44,409
The fact is,

974
00:52:44,425 --> 00:52:49,405
Mr Collard has maintained his
innocence from the very beginning,

975
00:52:49,417 --> 00:52:51,433
and they have simply gone for him...

976
00:52:54,373 --> 00:52:56,377
..because it's easy.

977
00:53:09,437 --> 00:53:11,417
Guess you've heard.

978
00:53:11,429 --> 00:53:13,401
Why do we even bother?

979
00:53:13,413 --> 00:53:15,417
Because we care?

980
00:53:16,417 --> 00:53:17,461
- Janet?
- Yeah...

981
00:53:18,373 --> 00:53:19,421
The Blakely jury are back.

982
00:53:19,433 --> 00:53:21,413
Good luck.

983
00:53:21,425 --> 00:53:23,409
Thanks.

984
00:53:35,437 --> 00:53:37,417
Have you reached a verdict?

985
00:53:39,373 --> 00:53:40,393
Yes, Your Honour.

986
00:53:40,409 --> 00:53:46,381
On the count of murder, how do you
find the defendant, Dianne Vasilich?

987
00:53:47,433 --> 00:53:49,421
Guilty.

988
00:53:52,425 --> 00:53:55,437
On the count of acting as accessory
after the fact of murder,

989
00:53:55,453 --> 00:53:59,397
how do you find the defendant,
Brian Patrick Vincent?

990
00:53:59,409 --> 00:54:01,377
Guilty.

991
00:54:03,401 --> 00:54:06,461
The matter is stood over for
sentence, date to be fixed.

992
00:54:07,373 --> 00:54:08,437
All rise.

993
00:54:11,437 --> 00:54:14,421
Congratulations.

994
00:54:21,401 --> 00:54:22,441
Thank you.

995
00:54:30,377 --> 00:54:33,417
What was all of that
about maybe losing the case?

996
00:54:33,433 --> 00:54:35,421
Yeah, we got lucky.
If Franzen hadn't...

997
00:54:35,433 --> 00:54:37,449
No. I already told you.

998
00:54:37,461 --> 00:54:41,397
Deep, abiding faith.

999
00:54:53,429 --> 00:54:55,429
This is not only a victory

1000
00:54:55,445 --> 00:55:00,373
for the family of Steven Blakely,
this is a victory for justice,

1001
00:55:00,385 --> 00:55:02,381
for the justice system,

1002
00:55:02,397 --> 00:55:05,449
proving that we can
and will tackle the hard cases.

1003
00:55:05,465 --> 00:55:09,405
Steven Blakely was
a brilliant investigator

1004
00:55:09,417 --> 00:55:12,409
and it is sad, but fitting,

1005
00:55:12,425 --> 00:55:15,461
that his legacy, a team of the very
finest investigators,

1006
00:55:16,377 --> 00:55:19,421
were able to use the skills
he taught them

1007
00:55:19,437 --> 00:55:23,377
to solve the tragic mystery
of his own final hours.

1008
00:55:23,393 --> 00:55:26,397
Chief Superintendent Rizzoli,
how do you respond to claims

1009
00:55:26,413 --> 00:55:29,325
police went with the first person
they could in the Petrakis shooting?

1010
00:55:29,343 --> 00:55:31,761
To be quite honest, I find that
outrageous and offensive.

1011
00:55:31,762 --> 00:55:33,202
But with such lack of evidence?

1012
00:55:33,203 --> 00:55:34,410
No, we had plenty of evidence.

1013
00:55:34,411 --> 00:55:37,096
The judge, in her wisdom,
simply decided not to allow it.

1014
00:55:37,288 --> 00:55:40,252
Some people might think I'm talking
out of turn. I don't care.

1015
00:55:40,352 --> 00:55:42,308
Things have gone too far in this
State.

1016
00:55:42,324 --> 00:55:44,475
Time and again perpetrators walk
free

1017
00:55:44,476 --> 00:55:46,728
because good police work
isn't allowed to be used.

1018
00:55:46,729 --> 00:55:48,453
Take the Blakely case for example.

1019
00:55:48,454 --> 00:55:50,798
A different judge uses
a bit of common sense

1020
00:55:50,799 --> 00:55:52,670
and lo and behold,
the truth comes out.

1021
00:55:52,671 --> 00:55:54,695
There's a lesson in that
for all of us.

1022
00:55:57,611 --> 00:55:59,647
Andy.
Sorry to call you so late.

1023
00:55:59,659 --> 00:56:01,399
What's happened?

1024
00:56:01,436 --> 00:56:03,647
I'm down near Gerringong.
Do you know where that is?

1025
00:56:03,663 --> 00:56:06,199
South?
Way, way south.

1026
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,667
In fact, the round trip's about four
hours, probably,

1027
00:56:08,679 --> 00:56:10,679
which is not good news.

1028
00:56:10,691 --> 00:56:12,607
Why?

1029
00:56:12,623 --> 00:56:15,695
Because a bushwalker just found
Steven Blakely's body out here.

1030
00:56:16,611 --> 00:56:20,615
So Dianne and Brian
didn't throw him off North Head.

1031
00:56:20,631 --> 00:56:22,683
In fact, given the time it takes
to get here,

1032
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:25,316
they weren't even the ones
who buried him.

1033
00:56:36,647 --> 00:56:38,695
Janet King's gung-ho approach in
this trial

1034
00:56:39,611 --> 00:56:41,611
has caused a serious miscarriage of
justice.

1035
00:56:41,627 --> 00:56:43,599
So who buried him?
I have no idea.

1036
00:56:43,615 --> 00:56:46,615
You find this third man or Dianne
and her son will walk.

1037
00:56:46,627 --> 00:56:47,639
Blakely and Novak?

1038
00:56:47,655 --> 00:56:50,647
They argue for about five minutes,
four hours later Blakely is dead.

1039
00:56:50,663 --> 00:56:51,923
Don't fuck up what you've got
by getting involved

1040
00:56:51,943 --> 00:56:54,999
in things that don't concern you.
Don't interfere.

1041
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,984
Tim Clarke - my child porn man.

1042
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,008
Seriously need to think about
getting Clarke off the streets,

1043
00:56:59,024 --> 00:57:00,036
he's a bad man.
Get away from her!

1044
00:57:00,052 --> 00:57:02,064
Get the fuck away from her!
I know what you do with young girls.

1045
00:57:02,980 --> 00:57:06,088
I was going to tell you.
You're always so fucking perfect!

1046
00:57:06,089 --> 00:57:06,945
You're so tied up with your work

1047
00:57:06,976 --> 00:57:08,473
you don't see what's going on
around you anymore.

1048
00:57:08,474 --> 00:57:10,863
The Vasilich family had nothing to do
with that murder.

1049
00:57:10,864 --> 00:57:12,436
Blakely's murder is just a small part
of it.

1050
00:57:12,437 --> 00:57:14,016
A small part of what?

1051
00:57:14,723 --> 00:57:59,913
