"We tell stories
to change minds,

"to change legislation...

"and most importantly...

To change behaviour.

Storytelling is fundamental to
the work that we do in the law.

Nice speech.

We tell stories to the
justices sitting on the bench.

Thanks, Jules.

To the journalists
reporting on the cases.

And it's possible we might
even tell them to our managers,

who are trying to understand

just how that expense
account got so out of hand.

You know, honestly, I think it
might be your wife's delivery

that's really selling
it, not so much my words.

Oh, she's definitely
engaging. Mmm.

..more change we can achieve.

Oh, hold on. The asparagus
tarts have arrived.

I repeat, the asparagus tarts
are in the building. Mmm!

You see, it's your dedication
to the things that really matter

that we're going
to miss the most.

OK.

Scale of 1 to 10 - how much are you
really going to miss this place?

Hmm? uh, 10.

Thank you for coming
on this vital...

You know, if 10 is,
like, not miss it at all.

Some days it can feel like
you're not getting anywhere.

Well, we'll miss you. You are.

Thank you so much. Goodnight.

Grace, that was... Good
luck at your next job.

She had a bad court today,
so don't take it personally.

Bye, Phoebe.
See you never, losers.

Bye, Phoebe. Don't
miss me too much.

Bye.

There are two types
of people in this world.

Those who think family violence
would never happen to them...

..and those who know it
can happen to anyone.

Can you try and focus on the
hours leading up to the death?

m*rder.

What was that?

Leading up to the m*rder.

So... you met the
victim at work.

You need to take a number.

I actually work here.
I'm starting today.

Told you.

Yeah, it's my...

Number 54?

Um, excuse me...
Hang on. No, wait.

No... You need to take a number.

I work here.

Right. New girl. Sorry.

No, this better not be
coming out of my 15 minutes!

Sorry. This is bullshit!

Welcome to the Thunderdome.

The new girl? Yes.

Hi. Welcome.

Thank you. Welcome.
This is yours.

Thanks. So, where should I...

Hang on - you're meant to be
shadowing Jenny this morning.

Jenny's waiting
for you at Magi's.

The Magistrate's Court. Right.

Yeah. Of course.

I would... uh, I would get
a move on if I were you.

Jenny doesn't really
like late people.

Oh. Sorry.

OK. Oh... Yeah.

Now, please. Thank you. It
was really lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you
too. Please keep going.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Hi. Are you Jenny? You're late.

Now let's go. Sorry.

Um... OK.

Thank you.

Next.

Hey, I'm really sorry
that I was late.

I actually... Nobody
told me I had to come...

Don't wait for anyone
to help you around here.

Good point. I imagine
it gets pretty busy.

The list takes a while but we should
get back to the office by lunchtime.

OK. Uh... the list?

The Intervention Order list.

OK. Laptops out of bags.

You know, actually,
I'm kind of excited,

'cause I've never
been to court before.

Miss, it's your turn. Oh.

Who's next?

Oh, sh*t. Keys, wallet,
phone, lanyards.

Yeah. Sorry.

Bag. There we go.

Through...? Yep.

Who's next? Arms out.

OK. Thank you.

Laptops out of bags.
Keys, phones in the tub.

Ms Cullen
to courtroom 3 immediately.

So is this entire floor...
Intervention orders?

Yes.

Three-page list today. Sorry.

This is Logan. This is Liv.

Uh, Phoebe.

I thought your name was Liv.

No.

It's Phoebe.

Hey, not so fast. You, my friend,
have got a remote witness today.

Seriously? Yeah.

He's a real piece of sh*t, too.

He's been here
since we've opened.

Uh, not-Liv Phoebe?

She's like a shark. She can't
survive if she stopped moving.

Thank you. Hurry up!

Uh, so what's a remote client?

When it's too dangerous
for our client

to be in the same room
as the respondent,

we have a secure
space on another level

so they can give
evidence via webcam.

Respondent?

The person the intervention
order is against.

OK. They're responding
to the order.

Got it. Respondent.
And we are...?

AFM. Affected Family Member.

OK.

And that's the person
applying for the IVO, right?

Well, some.

Most of these IVOs are applied for
by police on behalf of the AFM.

Right. Affected family member.

OK. You'll get the hang of it.

You can observe the first few

and maybe at the end,
you can do some yourself.

What? Uh, me?

Nervous? No... oh, I
just don't, I'm not...

No, trust me. You're
gonna be fine.

You're going to have to
do it sooner or later.

Oh!

I don't know why
it's not working.

Can we try that again?

Oh, so sorry about this, Sue.

Bloody cards, eh?

Must be a faulty chip.
Yeah, I'm in no hurry, Di.

You must be happy
about Jon's retirement?

Get to have him home
all the time now.

Yes, hello? Yes.

Uh, no, no, no. See,
it... it's not lost.

No, no. I've got
the card right here.

Yep, that's me.

Yes, he's my husband.

Uh... yes.

But the thing is, I found it.

Yeah, so can you just... can
you just un-cancel the card now?

Oh, no. Don't... No,
d-don't send me a new card.

No, no, no. I've got my card.

This is my card.

Oh, no, don't...
No, uh, don't put...

OK, stop your
panicking. I'm here now.

Morning, Mr T.

Nadine Walton, what have
you done to my poor wife?

There.

My job here is done. Uh,
Jon, can I grab the card?

I need to pick up the feed.

I don't want you losing
this one too, darl.

I didn't.

I'll see you at home, love.

Bye, Nadine. Bye, Mr T.

So, he checks your phone?

Mm-hmm.

When did this start?

About two weeks ago.

Four months ago.

I don't know.

He didn't actually start to hit
me till about three years ago.

But it wasn't what
it looked like.

It's complicated.

She's... she's just
got a few problems.

Have you reported any
of this to the police?

Yes.

I think my neighbours
called them.

f*ck the police.

The window thing - that
wasn't... you know...

He punched his hand
through the window?

Yes, but that wasn't at me.

But the thing is...

He's got a lot of insecurities.

He has anger issues. Noted.

Are you my lawyer? Yes.

Are you a real lawyer?

I'm the Duty Lawyer, so I'll be
your lawyer for this hearing.

Well, you look like a student
lawyer. You better be free.

I'm not paying for a student
lawyer. We're a free service.

Will he be here, in the court
room? We'll all be here.

I'm just wondering if I
can take him home today?

Yes.

No.

I've got 'Vanessa'
here on the order.

Is this your daughter?

This is really unnecessary.

So we're gonna get through
this together as a family.

He's not allowed to threaten
you, hurt you, scream at you,

stalk you, detain you.

This is a f*cking waste of time.

That means no locking
you in the garage.

That didn't really
happen like that.

He's not allowed to physically,
sexually or economically abuse you.

He can't threaten you, the
kids, your mum and Dad.

No phone calls, text
messages, social media.

And if he does it again?

Then he's committing a crime
and you should call the cops.

Or your neighbours
will call the cops,

or the school will call the cops

and he'll be charged with
a breach of the order.

A breach.

The order is civil but
breaking it is a crime.

Right, so, basically
it's, "Don't f*ck up again

"and if you do, well then maybe
you might see some consequences."

Sort of. We're
talking about as*ault.

These people should be in jail.

'Cause jail has always worked so
well at stopping violent behaviour?

Well...

So they're pretty much just
all going back to them, right?

They know what the
safest thing to do is.

Safest?

Sometimes staying
is the best option.

You know where he is, you
can read the temperature,

help regulate their mood swings.

Your client's in
the witness room.

Oh, sh*t. The remote witness.

Uh, level?

Five.

You having fun yet?
Something like that.

All parties in the
matter of McKinnon to court...

I need to appear. Liv... Sorry.

Phoebe, you go to Level
5 and take instructions.

Instructions?

Jenny?

I'll be up soon. 15 minutes.

Wait, um...

Sorry. I didn't mean
that to be so dramatic.

No, it's OK.

Hard morning?

Uh... yeah. Is it that obvious?

No... I mean, yes.

Yes, it is.

It's my first day.

Don't worry. You're doing great.

Thank you for lying to
me. I appreciate that.

Need some help? Uh, yeah.

I'm looking for Room 4B.

Thank you. Happy to help.

That's why they give you
the keys to the castle.

Hmm?

Of course.

Hold on... Wait!

When you don't know
what you're looking for,

you can't see the red
flags until it's too late.

Are you suggesting there was a
pattern of a*usive behaviour?

Yeah.

No, I...

Thing was, it's...

I... I don't know.

You work at a domestic
violence service, don't you?

I do, yes.

Well, if anyone's gonna
recognise patterns of abuse,

it'd be you.

Not necessarily.

Your training
wouldn't pick it up?

Can yours?

What are you trained in?

Journalism.

So...

what was your job
at the service?

Public
relations? - Yes.

Why is she even here?

We're a legal service,
not an advertising agency!

Because we need help, Jenny.
These funding cuts are serious.

We're going to have to
close the community clinic.

She let him into
the secure room!

She didn't know!
She's not a lawyer.

He's tried to k*ll her before.
Oh, for heaven... Jenny!

Ah, Phoebe.

This is Liv, our
new Duty Lawyer.

Heya, how're you
going? You're Liv.

Yeah. Sorry I was late. OK.

Hi. Hi.

Anyway, we'll just
keep going this way.

Nice to meet you.

I don't know what's
wrong with her. Hmm?

She's not eating right.

Something's going on.

It's as if she's just...

You know, it's as if she's
10 years older than she is.

It's... I don't know.

I...

Oh, well, Marlena's
a sturdy girl.

She's not a girl,
Diana. She's a filly.

Oh,
for God's sake...

Oh, well, let me just...

It's probably Lia. She's going
to drop Penny off tomorrow.

It's Maria.

She wants to swap
another shift with you.

You see, this is what I was
talking about last night.

Why don't you listen to me? They
take advantage of you down there.

Yeah, yeah. I'm sick of it.

Turn it off. What?

Turn it off and we can have
a nice dinner together.

Yeah.

OK.

Oh!

Oh, bloody hell!

Oh! Oh.

Oh, no. Bugger!

Oh!

Jon?

Jon, please.

Jesus Christ.

It's effective, isn't it?

Uh, yeah, it's... effective.

So I'm gonna try and
put it in the library.

Martin is gonna freak.

Um, first day went...?

Well!

sh*t.

Yep.

It was... the actual worst.

I am the actual worst.

But was she OK? The woman?

Yeah, the security came in time.

Super f*cked up.

I almost got a
woman k*lled, Max.

Phoebe.

I can't go back there.

I mean, if they'll
even have me. I...

No, because aren't
they legally law-able?

Liable.

OK. Aren't Legal Aid liable for
having you there without a lawyer?

OK, it's not Legal Aid. It's
a community legal centre.

And... they just...
they thought I was Liv.

Who's Liv?

Um, what's this?

New campaign strategy.

If I'm gonna crack the
two-party stranglehold,

I've gotta attract the
independent thinkers out there.

You do. The mavericks, right?

Hence... Swans.

Well, you got any better ideas?

I'm kidding, Maxie. I
love it. It's great.

Council will be
lucky to have you.

You know, like, the most f*cked-up
part of today was just...

like, how...

..normal he looked.

He just seemed so...

..normal.

What - did you think he'd
have a sign on his head?

It would have helped.

It's very nice.

Aah!

Oh!

But that is all
obviously still in flux

and may be for some time.

But the second that legislation
amendment is made official,

we will let you know.

We have some new faces
here at the table today.

Please join me in welcoming
Liv, our new Duty Lawyer.

Yeah, stoked to be
here. Thank you.

Um... look, I have come
from the Department

and I'm really hoping that you
don't hold that against me.

And Phoebe, our
communications specialist.

Hey, Phoebe.

Hello, everyone. OK, Phoebe.

You are our first ever
communications person,

so can you please let everyone
know a little bit about your job?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Um, so I will be working with
the media to raise your...

well, our profile.

Oh, we don't need
any more clients.

Yes. Sorry. Not with... not
with the general public.

More you know, government
agencies, funders.

You know, the good guys.

Does this mean we're
finally gonna get a website

that looks like it
wasn't made in the '90s?

Leanne... They had
websites in the '90s?

Oh, my God. OK.

Everyone, Phoebe is here

to try and stop the federal
funding cuts from going through

and she has already got me

an interview this
afternoon on the radio

so I would say she's
hit the ground running.

Alright. Everyone, clean
up and get out of here.

Also, please stop
losing your lanyards.

Come on!

Morning, Mrs T.

Are you feeling better
now, Mrs Thompson?

I know, Jonesy.

It must be this time
of year, you know.

Ah, young Derryn.

Mr Thompson.

Well, we're not at school
now, mate. Call me Jon.

Oh, love!

Come on, old duck.

Let's get you home, eh?

Thanks boys. I'll
take it from here.

Hi! Hello.

Sorry I'm late. Oh, all good.

OK.

What kind of coffee do you want?
Oh, I've ordered. I can't stay long.

OK. Um...

Oh, no. Not the
notebook. Alright.

So, it's a state-wide service,
providing free legal assistance

to over 20,000 clients escaping
domestic violence every year.

We covered your
centre last month.

Yeah, in a tiny story about community
organisations. This is a feature.

I told you already - my editor's
sick of domestic violence.

I can give you a
client to speak to.

Her fiance set her car on
fire while she was in labour.

Short black. Thanks.

Uh, right.

So, what are we doing here then?

Well, Max told me that
you had a bad first day.

Mmm.

Max told you that? Mm-hm.

Onya, Max.

Well, if it's any consolation,

look, we had an intern delete the
entire Sydney stakeholder list

on their first day.

You can't beat that.

Hmm.

And I want to know if you
want to make a comment

about how Melbourne's
favourite progressive law firm

is actually toxic for the
women that work there.

Layla, I'm not gonna do
this with you again, OK?

I don't want anything to do with
your McKinley & Harris story, OK?

I'm out.

Come on - you don't
even work there anymore!

I already know there's an
internal investigation happening.

Mmm.

Maybe I could get the editor
to OK a profile on your CEO.

Anything.

Just give me anything.

When a woman earns more
than her male partner,

they are 35% more likely to be
subject to domestic violence.

Layla, come on.

What about, um... what about
sexually transmitted debt.

One client, right?

Her husband buys
a car in her name,

racks up thousands of
dollars worth of bills

and she doesn't even drive!

She doesn't even drive, Layla.

I'm sorry, Phoebe. And she...

I can't.

Call me if you change
your mind about McKinley.

Right.

Phoebe.

Priestly.

Um...

this morning I was made aware

that you thought I was inappropriate
with one of the interns.

You were. Right.

I've always had an open-door
policy, Phoebs, and to be honest,

I thought you would have
been confident enough

to come and talk to
me directly but, uh...

Phoebe, I need those...

Grace.

Priestly.

Are you two in the
middle of something?

Uh, yes. Yes, in
fact, we are, yeah.

Would you like me to stay?

Actually, yeah. Come
on in, come on in.

Take a seat.

You're happy to have
Grace here, Phoebe?

Uh, no.

I can come find you.

Alright.

It's a pity she left.

She would have been able to tell you
what a big supporter of women I am.

This doesn't matter.
It's so irrelevant...

actually, being a supporter
of women in the workplace

matters a lot to me.

Hey, did you ever
hear about Walker?

Yes. Yes, I heard about Walker.

Walker used to make the female
paralegals bend over his desk

so he could spank them.

Spank them with a ruler in
front of the associates.

He was a founding
partner and you know,

he just thought he could get
away with whatever he wanted

and of course he could.

And you know why, Phoebe?

Because people in
power didn't...

well, because men in my
position did nothing.

You know what I did?

You got him fired. Correct.

In fact in the five years since
I've been a senior partner...

ooh, we would have mentored
and elevated over a dozen women

into management positions.

And not because they're women

but because they were smart
and bloody hard workers.

OK, look - none of this means

you get to just say whatever
you want to the interns.

I told her her
skirt looked good.

You know, what do you want?

You want me to be dragged
down the hall in chains?

You asked if she was
wearing underwear.

Oh, so-f*ck'-what? It...

Christ almighty! Let
me get this straight.

So you want me to
lose my job, do you?

You want me to lose my
job, my entire career,

because some f*ck' private
schoolgirl on anti-depressants

had a bit of a bad day and rather
than address it like an adult,

decided to cry in the
toilets like a f*ck' child.

Is that it? It was
banter. Banter!

And if she can't handle
a bit of a banter,

good luck in the f*ck'
chambers, you know what I mean?

Frigid b*tch.

You need to... you need
to get off the internet.

Spend a bit more time in
the real world, Phoebe.

Yeah, I would

but I can't handle
the banter, so...

Well, here's a bit of banter.

If you really do care about
the women in this workplace,

as you say you do,

don't f*ck their husbands.

Did you want this open or shut?

You alright?

I'm sorry, Di.

I want to look after you better.

You're really stressed
at the moment and I...

I want to help.

I've just been...

..grumpy since I finished
up at the school, you know?

But I...

I want to treat you better.

I'm gonna try, OK?

This is a stupid question.

Oh, Publicity Felicity!
You can help us.

Come, come. join. Sit.

Come. OK.

For three points -
before he ate a cookie,

what was the Cookie
Monster called?

What was he called?

No, they always put an
un-gettable question at the end.

Uh, is it... um...

Sid?

Sid?

Ding, ding, ding! We
have a winner. Shut up!

Sid? What?!

No way. How did you know that?

You cheater. Jenny!

There's no chance she'd
know that. Oh, my God.

Did you already do the quiz?

No, I... I just...

Did you? I just know stuff.

Don't mind her. She's on Keto.

Lunch is a difficult
time for her.

What kind of name
is Sid, anyway?

Mm, Sid Vicious.

Who's that?

Mmm. Punk musician who
m*rder*d his girlfriend.

Family violence ruining
the party once again.

OK, we got 16.

What? No, no.

Absolutely not. Did
you check properly?

I did. We did not get 16.

Where? Check question 3 again.

sh*t. This is a bad day.

Why do we call it 'family violence'
and not 'domestic violence'?

Well, just, you know,
'family violence' kind of...

sounds like we're
talking about...

..I don't know, hitting
kids, or something.

Yeah. Because it's
not 'domestic'.

Here we go. Domestic.

"It's just a domestic." It's
what the police used to say.

They still say it. Mmm.

Used to tell my clients,
when they called the cops

because it looked like he might
actually k*ll them this time...

..I used to tell them,
when they called the cops,

to say it was a stranger at the
bathroom door with a cricket bat.

"No, sir, I've never
seen this guy before.

"I have no idea who it is."

"I did not have sexual
relations with that man."

It's the only way to
get a car out. Still is.

Right. Right, got it.

Family violence.

Is anyone gonna mention the fact

that pretty much every other
state apart from Victoria

still uses the term
'domestic violence'?

No. No.

It's not our fault they're all
wrong and we live in the best state.

OK. Back to the phones, please.

Delivery! Coming through!

Oh, my goodness! What is this?

What do you say to Grandma?

Good afternoon?

No. What
do you say to Grandma?

Love you, Grandma.

Love you too, sweetheart.

Good girl.

Here you go, darling.
How are you feeling?

Yeah, better. Yeah.

Well, dig in.

Oh, Di? Yeah?

Love you, Grandma.

Love you.

Oh, now, I spoke to Malcolm.

Mmm? And...

Well, he suggested that
yesterday's shift be your last.

What? Don't worry.

He completely understands.

You're too old to be working
in a pharmacy, darling.

You know? You deserve a break.

And now that I've
finished working,

we've got the rest of
our lives together.

Mmm.

Enjoy, my love.

Hey, Phoebs. Hello.

Guess who got you an interview.

What? It's for tonight
with Ron's show.

They want a client who can talk
about how they escaped their ab*ser.

Uh, OK. Amazing.

You're amazing. I know.

Thank you. You owe me.

Thank you. Yes!

Sorry. Just not used to
hearing that sound around here.

You OK? Um, I have
a quick question.

Who do I speak to about
client case studies?

That's a Jenny question.

She's head of the
client case study bank.

But she's at Magi's, which...
Sorry, that's the, uh...

Magistrate's Court. Great.

Hey, Phoebe, what's
up? Hey. Eve.

Um, so, it's a live
interview on national radio

and I really just need
one of our clients

who feels comfortable and able
to speak on their experience.

Phoebe, that is...
Listen, it's terrific.

I've got to go to this meeting right
now but can you speak to Jenny?

She's head of the case
study bank. Jenny, yeah.

Um... She'll be at Magi's.

No, no, no. Absolutely not.
Sorry. Sorry, that's, um...

Magistrate's Court.
Yeah, that's it.

Got it. Alright. Go get it.

We tell stories to change
minds, to change legislation

and most importantly,
we tell stories...

None of my clients will
do it. Speak to Jenny.

Hey. Hey.

Yeah, so we need to speak to people
who have lived experience of...

Oh, Jenny's the head of
case studies. Talk to her.

Yeah, yeah. I know.
I did hear that.

I just feel like Jenny's so
busy, I didn't want to...

Are you scared of
Jenny, too? Yeah.

Well, I thought you might...
maybe you might want to...

Well, what if, um...

Marshall and Long's
Pharmacy. Maria speaking.

Oh! Maria.

It's Diana.

What happened to you?
Malcolm said you were...

Oh, no, no, no. It's
nothing. Nothing at all.

Just a big misunderstanding.

Sure.

So, can you tell Malcolm
I'll be in tomorrow?

Ah, sorry Di. It...

He hired Trish's
niece to do mornings.

What, already?

Came in for a trial shift today.

Oh, but that's silly.

No, I... all I
needed was a day off.

Oh, before I forget,

I can do the afternoon
shift for you tomorrow.

I mean, I know you've got your
course on a Thursday afternoon.

You haven't been able to
get there so, you know,

I've managed to move
a few things around...

Diana, sorry.

I don't know what
Jon said to Malcolm

but he's been in a
terrible mood all day.

This time it's done.
No, no, Maria. Wait.

Please, I can...
I... I can do this.

Di... Di, I've got a customer.

I've gotta go. Look
after yourself, OK?

Bye. Maria, no, don't... Wait.

Hey, Not-Liv-Phoebe.

Yeah, hi.

Are you looking
for Jenny? Mm-hm.

She's, um... she's down
in the Duty Lawyer office.

OK. Thanks.

Janice.

Regional Victoria.

Partner's currently serving
time for trying to poison her.

She's happy to do
your radio interview.

Really?

That's amazing. Thank you. I...

Yeah. Brutal.

But it's been a few years
and she's really doing well.

Thank you, Jenny.

Hey, um...

to be honest, I didn't
think you'd come back here.

After what happened yesterday.

Takes... guts to come back.

Good for you.

Thanks.

Also, the Cookie
Monster's name...

I do the quiz on my phone on
the way to work every morning.

I knew it.

No-one knows that sh*t
off the top of their head.

Just please don't tell anyone.

I'm gonna tell everyone.

It's, like, the
one thing I have.

I'm tweeting it currently.

Thank you so much for
doing this, Janice.

No worries.
It's the least I can do for you.

Have you thought about what
name you want to go under yet?

Uh, Lana. OK.

Yep. Great.

Lana from regional Victoria.

Um, so, the interview
is part of a story

about federal funding
cuts to our centre.

Yeah, I heard about
that. Bloody disgrace.

Yeah, exactly.

So it'll be about a
five-minute interview.

Oh, easy. Yeah.

And it is live radio, though,

so, you know, it's just going
to keep going no matter what.

Even if the door bell rings,
or the dog starts barking...

OK. Yep.

But that also means, you know,

if you don't want to answer
a question, just don't.

Just give them a one-word answer
and they'll fill in the silence.

It's their job, not yours.

Oh, love, it's nothing I've not
told the police or the judge before.

OK.

So, for you,

this was really a
life-or-death situation?

Yes. He
nearly k*lled me.

If it wasn't for these services
that might be losing their funding,

do you think you'd
be alive today?

Well, for me...

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's not a switch
that gets flipped.

The change happens slow.

So slow you don't even see it.

Bit by bit...

..the lines blur.

And...

..before you even notice
that there's any change...

..the lines have been crossed.

You wake up one day and...

..and you don't even
recognise your life at all.

Who am I?

How did I get here?

How is this my life now?

Why are you so sure this was
m*rder and not just an accident?

Because it was my fault.
