01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

You always
talk in statistics?

Or are you just nervous 'cause my
boss wants to cut your funding?

If the cut goes through,
that's a fifth of our budget.

Four lawyers.
Legal clinic, gone.

The Minister is a very,
um, loyal friend of mine.

You need to learn to
keep your mouth shut.

Ry! What are you doing here?

- Don't come home again.
- Hey, hey, hey!

It seems like...

..maybe you needed
somewhere to go.

Jon!

Jon. Please.

Di?

What the f*ck is going on?

- Hi, Grace.
- Hey!

So who was that guy you were in a
staring contest with last night?

Oh, just a friend.

If you're a mistake,
then I want to make you.

What I'm trying
to say is that...

Mmm.

♪ Am I lost out here?

♪ Or am I waking up... ♪

No, no. No, no,
no, don't.

We don't really have
to go to work, do we?

Mmm. I need to go.

- Do you know, in Iceland...
- Mmm.

..a lot of workplaces
only do a 4-day week?

- Really?
- Uh-huh.

Mmm.

Productivity's at
an all-time high.

Is McKinley & Harris
taking this cue?

- Not yet.
- Hm.

Sometimes I think people
just need to lead by example.

What do you reckon?

Mmm...

Mmm.

Mmm?

Come on.

Come on.

Mm-hm? Yeah?

Phoebe, I've run out of cereal.
Can I have some of your muesli?

- Yep.
- Copy that. Thanks.

The mysterious Max.

- The one and only.
- I can't wait to meet him.

Yeah. He's good.

I was starting to
think...

..you were keeping
us apart on purpose.

What?

Count to three, then
we're gonna get up, OK?

- One.
- Two.

Three!

Oh.

So, Max, Phoebe told me
you're running for council.

That's really cool.

Yeah, we're really proud of him.

Um, did you get Layla's email
about the radio interview tonight?

Yep.

She's doing you a
solid, alright, so just...

..try not to go full Max.

Please.

- Interview?
- Yep.

Uh, Tonight with
Ron are doing a...

..a thing on first-time
council candidates,

and our Maxie here will finally
be getting a statewide audience.

No-one listens to
radio.

Maybe don't lead with THAT.

Oh, Max, that's really cool.

I mean, I... I really
respect what you're doing.

Most people don't do anything
unless they know they're gonna win.

It's nice to see
someone, you know,

standing up for what
they believe in.

- I AM gonna win.
- Yeah.

No, of course you are. I...
I didn't mean it like that.

I... I... um...

Jules went to uni with
one of your opponents.

Harry.

- Hamish.
- Yeah.

- Oh, Hamish Mullins?
- Yeah.

Yeah, he's everything...
that's wrong in this world.

Yeah, he pr...
..probably is. He...

Most of the worst people I went to
uni with are now in local politics.

What, uh, uni did you go to?

- I didn't.
- Max is self-taught.

Oh! Really cool.

Should we get going?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yep.

Uh, really... really
nice meeting you, mate.

Good luck with the
interview tonight.

Thanks.

We're
currently experiencing

longer waiting times than usual.

Thank you for your patience.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Cheese?

Oh, no, thanks.
I don't do dairy.

It's vegan.

Yes, please.

Bon appetit.

Thank you.

Give it to me.

Matthew. Please.

I just want to look
at your new toy.

No!

Hello?

Hello? Is
that Cherry Yeo?

Mrs Yeo, my name is Caitlin
Pollard, and I'm calling from...

Hello? Is anyone there?

My name is Caitlin Pollard,

and I'm calling from the Department
of Families, Fairness and Housing

in regards to your children.

It's a lady calling
from some department.

I don't know.

Probably a scammer.

Angel, where did he get the toy?

School?

It was a present. It's for me.

A present?

Your dad gave it
to you, didn't he?

Matthew, tell me the truth.

What did he put in here?

Oh, my god, Mum,
you're acting crazy.

Ugh!

OK.

OK. Alright. He actually has
some pretty good policy ideas.

You said he did a freestyle rap
at the last meet the candidates.

Yeah, and it was
sick. He's got buzz.

I... I'm sorry he
was a d*ck to you.

Well, maybe he's just being
a d*ck because he likes you.

Max? Mmm.

No.

Ah.

I don't... I don't know
why she's calling, but...

Is it gonna be OK?

At work?

Yeah. No, should
be... should be fine.

You know, to be honest,
I don't really want to...

..think about anything but this.

Mmm.

You and me.

Mmm.

Mmm.

We don't HAVE to go to work.

I do.

Eve's on my back about
this funding stuff, and...

Oh, well, don't
mention me. Mmm.

Not exactly her
favourite person.

What, who, Eve? Mmm.

What?

She had a thing for
Grace forever, and...

..I've always wondered if anything
ever happened between them.

Eve and Grace? Mmm.

When you were all at McKinley?

Mm-hm.

Alright.

Mmm. Last chance
to wag school.

Mmm.

Nup.

Come on, old man.

15 minutes, next
train! Old man?!

- Who are you calling old man?
- You've got to hurry up!

I'll race ya!

OK, Hila. Let's go
through it one more time.

When I got out of rehab
the second time...

- Mmm.
- ..I went to stay with my cousin.

But he found me.

And one night, he got
in and broke my ribs,

pushed me into the shower door.

Smashed the glass.

Chloe was there, just...

..bawling her eyes out.

Um, would you like to
change Chloe's name?

If it's easier, we can
just say 'daughter'.

Oh, sorry. I don't know
why I'm getting like this.

- It's OK.
- I've told this story a million times.

You don't need to
apologise, Hila, really.

Did I miss anything?

No. No, you're
doing really well.

Um...

..uh, I think may... maybe we can
just leave out the part about rehab.

You know, just...

..just so we don't distract
from Jared's abuse, you know.

We just... we want
to keep the focus...

..there.

Mum didn't want me to do this.

She's scared someone's
gonna recognise my voice.

Well, the interview's
in print, so...

..you don't have to
worry about that.

Mmm.

Got you.

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

- Jenna.
- Jenna?

Love that.

I'm gonna be here with
you the whole time, OK?

So... if at any point you
start to feel uncomfortable,

you just let me know, and
we'll stop the interview.

No. No. Yeah, I want to help.

It's just...

..yeah...

Be good to get it
over and done with.

Mmm.

Rip off the bandaid.

Hi. Sorry.

Um... we've booked
the conference room.

Right, yeah, of course.
Um... I'm so sorry.

The journo was supposed to
call, like, half an hour ago.

Oh. Um, we can
find a different space.

Great. Thank you.

I understand
we're here today

to discuss parenting arrangements
for Angel and Matthew?

Yep. We'll have to
go through that.

That too? Yep.

OK.

So is this the... OK.
This is another day.

This happened because of...

Don't worry, he's on another level.
He doesn't know where you are.

That won't stop him.

What did she say?

Well, uh, I told her...

Today is pointless.

He doesn't even want the kids.

When he has them,

his b*tch mother
looks after them.

I didn't get most of that.
What... what... what did she say?

I'm planning on bingeing the Land
Before Time movies with Matthew

over the school holidays.

He's really into
dinosaurs right now.

He's just doing this
to get back at me.

"He's just doing
this to get back at me."

Even though our
marriage failed, I...

..I still want to be a good dad.

That b*stard is lucky he gets
one day a week with them!

Mrs Yeo.

We're all here in the
interests of the children.

It was terrifying when she left.

I thought I'd never
see my kids again.

It's k*lling me how
much I miss them.

So I... hope this isn't
overstepping the mark.

If things were fair...

we'd never have to see him again

But I'd really love to have
the kids for Lunar New Year.

It'd mean the world
to my mum especially.

He wants them for
Lunar New Year?

Over my dead body!

That's ironic.

Could you give us a minute?

Yep.

I need you to tell her

that Child Protection
have opened a file on her.

A case manager will call her
and she has to be polite.

Their reports are
taken seriously.

Child Protection have
opened a file on you.

A case manager will call
and ask to speak with you.

Ask for a translator.

Child Protection? What?

Ah.

Sorry.

Oh. Whoa. Wait.

Are you serious?

What's going on?

I'm sorry, I have another job.

Can I explain everything
else to her in English?

Her understanding
is very limited.

- Wait. Wait.
- Tiffany.

What's happening?
Why is she leaving?

Um...

..um...

She has...

Busy.

Erm...

Other people that...

need help

Oh!

Cherry?

I'm so sorry, Hila.

I... I don't know why
the journo's so late.

That's OK.

Mum's babysitting Chloe, so
I don't have to rush off.

OK. Well, we're just here.

Oh.

Hello.

Hi. Hi.

Um...

..who's looking after you?

Be there...
Magistrate's Court...

Nine o'clock. Morning.

Cherry.

Yes, I heard you.
I'm not deaf.

Are you okay?

I drew a lion.

Drew a lion? I drew lollies.

You can't...

..leave children by themself.

It's a pupil free day. You
think I can afford childcare?

Hi. You've
reached Julian Macdonald.

I'm unable to answer your call right now.
Please leave a message after the beep.

Hey.

Um...

..I was just wondering...

..do you reckon it's...

..too late to wag school?

I hope your day's
going better than mine.

Uh...

Anyway, I will see
you later, at dinner.

Love you.

sh*t.

Erm...

Uh...

Have a good day.

Ry. You forgot to
take the tag off.

Again.

Look, it... it would be fine

if this wasn't the third
time today, you know?

Hold on.

Uh, are you...

..are you gonna say
anything to the customer?

Uh...

..I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Apologies for the
inconvenience, sir.

Have a good day. Sorry.

Hey.

Get it together.

f*ck' hell.

I'm so sorry about this.

- I've no idea why they haven't called.
- Yeah.

Um...

- Can I get you anything?
- No, I'm fine.

- Another tea or...
- Nup.

OK.

You know what?

I'm gonna give them
another quick ring. OK?

- OK.
- I'll be right back.

- What's up?
- Layla, hi.

- Uh, is Twee in the office today?
- No.

OK. Well, she's an hour late
for an interview with a client.

Have you
tried her mobile?

No, but that is a genius
idea.

Can you just get her to
call me if you see her?

- OK.
- Thanks.

Phoebe.

Hi...

..Grace.

Hi.

Well...

You need to come with me.

Um, I'm... So
sorry to interrupt.

I... I... I'm actually kind of in
the middle of something. But...

That's OK. I can answer
the phone if it rings.

- Great.
- Are you sure?

- Yeah.
- We'll just be a minute.

Uh... OK.

I had heard rumours
around the office,

but I wanted to make sure it
was true before saying anything.

Uh...

But the Minister's chief of
staff told me this morning.

Your funding is
definitely being cut.

But...

..they... they can't
just... do that.

I will organise a meeting
with the Minister's office,

but Eve said that you met an
adviser for a walk-through.

Yes. David.

- What was he like?
- He was fine.

- I... I think it went well.
- Phoebe, what was he like?

Is he within reach or is he
idealistically opposed to FVLS?

Smart.

Hard to read, but...

..he seemed to know enough
about the sector, and...

..I think he's reachable.

OK. Listen up.

Until this is confirmed,

this conversation
doesn't leave this room.

- Got it.
- Yeah.

- I won't tell the board for now.
- OK.

- OK.
- I can't believe this is happening.

It hasn't happened yet.

Well, if anybody can turn it around, it's
McKinley & Harris's new senior partner.

Eve!

Senior partner?

Uh, it...

..I... I have... I haven't
accepted the offer.

You'd be an idiot not to take
that. What are you talking about?

It's not... just... let it go.

OK.

Well, after that, I think
I need a coffee or four.

I'm gonna get started
on the presentation.

Can you get me the client numbers
from the annual report, please?

- Yeah. You got it.
- Thanks for coming in.

Always good to
see you.

- I should...
- Phoebe.

Yeah.

I have to ask you something.

OK.

Can you please not
tell anyone about...

..the job offer?

Of course.

That's great. Thank you.

Um, Grace.

I'm really sorry.

Don't be ridiculous, Phoebe.

Because it's not over.

- Twee. Hi.
- Hi.

Uh, Hila's still
here, so I can, erm...

Sorry I missed your calls.

We don't need your client anymore.
It's been a full-on morning.

What?

Yeah, my editor
wanted an expert opinion,

so I got a quote from the
new police commissioner.

Um... OK, but Hila
is an expert. She is.

- She's...
- I know.

She's got lived experience
of family violence.

Uh, of course. Uh... maybe
we can speak to her next time.

- She's been waiting for your call for an hour.
- I... I know.

- Can you just...
- Phoebe. There is nothing I can do.

I've already filed the
story. It'll be online soon.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Do you have any idea how much stress
and planning and straight-up trauma

Hila had to go through
just to be here today?

You are asking someone to
unearth...

f*ck!

You swapped shifts
with Chun yesterday.

- I need to be in court again.
- Such a troublemaker.

It takes me hours to get to and
from the city with the kids.

- It's Kelvin's fault...
- Enough.

I don't like gossip.

You're like a fly in my ear.

Can you help me out? Please?

Go make yourself useful.

Hey, no phone calls at work.

- David, hi.
- Hey, Phoebe.

It's great to hear from you.

So you called the office?

Yeah, I did. I did.

Um, I... I actually... I
was just calling to tell you

about a few really great, um,
health justice partnerships

that we have going on right now.

I thought the Minister might
like to hear about them...

..you know, before any decisions
are made about the funding cuts.

I'm sorry, can you put all
this in an email or something?

- I'm just at the gym.
- Yeah. Of course.

I can totally do that.

Uh, it's just...

..you know, this... this stuff,

it... it really means
a lot to people.

To me.

Got it. Thank you.
Yeah, great. Bye, Phoebe.

OK, bye.

Hi. You've
reached Julian Macdonald.

I'm unable to answer
your call right now.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Hey.

Uh... I thought we were
meeting for dinner at seven.

Uh, Max's interview
is in half an hour,

so maybe if we hurry,
we can grab a...

Court list just came through

and Leanne's gone home.

Good for her. Hm.

Good for YOU, more like it.

I know how much you love
doing conflict checks

to help us poor
struggling lawyers.

You know, I do, I do, but,
uh, I can't. I'm busy.

How are we supposed to
keep this place running?

We're barely staying
afloat as it is.

And now this.

What?

You know?

Uh...

..I th... I thought nobody
was supposed to know yet.

You kidding me?
Sara told me today.

I have to take half her cases.

Sara's leaving?

Yeah.

Next month.

What were YOU talking about?

Hm?

Oh. Uh, yeah. I was talk...
I was talking about the Sara thing.

Sorry.

It's been a long day.

Heard you lost it
at a journalist.

Why do I miss everything good?

Hila came all the way into the
city for nothing, and, uh...

..I mean, a simple
email, phone call...

..text message could
have...

..oh, saved an hour of her time.

Hila.

They're all bad cases,
but that was a bad case.

Yeah.

I think she'll still take
him back when he gets out.

Wait.

Really?

Feelings are messy.

It's hard to... leave someone when
you've been together for so long.

Yeah, yeah.

How often do you think people get
back together after breaking up?

All the time.

Humans gonna human.

Yeah.

I'm a little busy these days.

Of course they're missing
their Por Por and Goong Goong.

Kelvin?

He's out at a work dinner...

but he sends his love.

I better go now,
Mummy, I'm cooking.

Mapo tofu and greens.

No, it's too spicy for the kids.

Mmm. Bye-bye.

Your break ended
five minutes ago.

Get back inside.

Hi. You've
reached Julian Macdonald.

I'm unable to answer
your call right now.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

They say
local politics brings out

the more colourful candidates,

and tonight, we're talking to Max
Kerr, who's standing for council

in Melbourne's
soy-sipping north.

That's your cue,
Max. Come on, Max.

Oh. Hi.

I'm Max.

Max, why do you
think it's important

for young people to get involved
in their local community?

Community is
a social construct.

- What's that?
- Please don't go full Max.

Well...

..pretty much everything is
a social construct, really.

Like seats, microphones, radios.

He's gone full Max.

Radios are just
a collection of parts

that perform the function
of being a radio.

Same for community.

I mean, we're all already in
it, even if we don't want to be.

So, what made YOU
want to run for council?

I want the library
wi-fi to run faster.

It's so slow, it's
basically unusable.

What about actual council
spending? Infrastructure?

Yeah, wi-fi IS
infrastructure, Ron.

Not everyone has fast
internet at home,

and heaps of kids have to do
their homework at the library.

Without good internet,
they're f*cked.

- Hey!
- Oh, hi.

What's going on?

My housemate was
just on the radio.

No, I mean that.

Oh, yeah. I... Sorry.

I was just...

..I was just checking something.

You know that you can
talk to me about anything.

You know that, right?

I do. Thanks. Yeah.

OK.

Go home. It's late.

- Have a good night.
- You too.

We appreciate
things have been hard at home,

but it's been brought
to my attention

that Angel and Matthew
have been late to school

multiple times these
past few months.

She says Matthew and
I run late too much.

Says who?

She's our principal, Mum.

With holidays
starting tomorrow,

you could use that time to sort out a
better transport plan for next term.

I don't mean to
sound unsympathetic.

I understand there have been
some changes going on at home.

What's she saying?

She's not angry, just worried.
Because of you and Dad.

Are you
there, Mrs Yeo?

Say yes.

Yes.

You need to try
and put your children first.

She says you're
trying your hardest.

You're doing a good job.

Hi. Thanks for being on
hold, Mrs Jonas. How can I help?

Hi. You've
reached Julian Macdonald.

I'm unable to answer your
call right now. Please...

That's for Sara.

Mmm.

I love our morning chats.

You'd think a comms person
would be more talkative.

Hey. You don't have to do those.

You know that, right?

I know. I just... I don't want
you to have to clean up after me.

You don't actually clean
them properly. That's what I mean.

What?

You leave gunk on the plates.

It's disgusting.

And we've gotta
leave for work in 10.

Alright!
Can you not be so rough?

Why didn't you tell me
that you changed my shifts?

Thought you'd want
more shifts together.

But you... you didn't ask me.

Well, it's not your choice.

Mmm. OK.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, f*ck this.

OK.

And where the hell
are you gonna go, Ry?

Ry!

As someone over 55,

you're on the housing
priority list.

Oh. OK.

Gee, that's wonderful.

Um... so how long do you
think I'll be waiting?

Look, they don't give
estimates for waiting times, but...

..at the moment, I'd
say it's about a...

..3-year wait.

Three years?

Hi. You've
reached Julian Macdonald.

I'm unable to answer
your call right now.

Please leave a
message after the...

You weren't talking about Sara
leaving last night, were you?

I...

We're already
drowning in clients.

And that's before the funding
cuts. I know. It's f*cked.

Sometimes...

..I even mess up their names.

"Oh, wait. You're the
one he lit on fire.

"My bad. I thought you were
the one that was poisoned."

We're like an ambulance
at the bottom of a cliff.

I can't do this for much longer.

Yeah, how long have you
actually been there for?

- Like, three?
- Two years.

- Well, that's five normal job years.
- Mm-hm.

Maybe we should
get some chippies.

Maybe I should open a florist.

No, no, no.

- A puppy day care.
- Mmm.

I don't know if you could actually
leave this job if you tried.

- You know my client?
- Mmm.

Cherry?

Her ex's lawyer

is issuing contravention
app after contravention app,

just dragging her back into court
constantly, just 'cause he knows.

- It's gonna break her.
- What a dickhead.

And he just appealed the IVO,
that he's already breached, right?

- Twice.
- Oh, God.

Here I am, speaking Cantonese
like a f*cking toddler!

Jenny... the
system's broken, OK?

We're gonna need another bottle.

The thing is, the
system's not broken.

The system is working exactly
as it was designed to.

That's the problem.

Least you don't have the stink
of the legal system on you.

I did tell Hila not to mention
rehab in that interview.

- So?
- So... what is that?

Editing her story so she can seem
more palatable to the general public

that don't give a f*ck anyway.

♪ Oh, my darling... ♪

You've
found somewhere already?

Yeah!

I mean...

..it's, uh...

..it's just a nice little studio,
but, um, just right for me, I think.

Where is it?

Um... well, it's not far.

Yeah, um, but anyway, love you.

Um, I'm just pulling in

I can't unsee

the family violence sailboat.

Maybe we should get
some hot chippies. Yeah?

Chips make everything better.

Sorry.

You OK?

- I'll be home...
- Mmm.

..watching TV.

Suddenly I'm not...

..there.

I'm just...

..worrying about whether...

..one of my clients
is being m*rder*d

whilst I'm watching
f*cking Gogglebox.

And then you feel like an arsehole
for even complaining because...

..'cause you're not the one
fearing for your life, so...

I cannot believe

I yelled at that journalist.

- It was so hectic.
- No!

- Good for you.
- Oh!

You're not a robot.

We need to stop doing that.

Doing what?

Denying your own
feelings out of guilt.

Apologising for existing.

Feeling like you're being selfish
for asking for what you need.

Yes! Why do we do that?

You feel like...

..you're being taken for granted

and... no matter how hard you
try to advocate for yourself,

society tells you
you're a b*tch,

so then you just...

..push it all down.

f*ck...

..being taken for granted.

f*ck...

..being walked all over.

- f*ck it!
- f*ck it.

f*ck it.

f*cking dumb sh*t. f*ck this.

Phoebe!

- Hey, Jules.
- You can't be here.

Um... quick question.

- What the f*ck is going on?
- You OK?

Why aren't you
answering your phone?

Hm?

Are you drunk?

- Are YOU drunk?
- Look, Phoebe.

So I need... I need some time.

Grace isn't gonna let you go.

You have no idea what Grace is
going through at the moment.

Mmm. She's not gonna give up.

She's gonna keep
fighting for you.

So is that what you want?

Do you want her to keep
fighting for you...

Phoebe, I can't.

I am not gonna give up.

- I'm gonna fight... fight for us.
- Phoebe.

Oh, my God!

I'm gonna call you a cab. OK?

Get you home.

I see the ring is back.

So...

..just so I have this
right, um, when you said

you were gonna have a
conversation with Grace,

what you actually meant was...

..nothing's gonna change.

No.

Hm?

I mean, did you even
tell her about us?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Listen.

Look.

Mm-hm?

She won't be able to take it.

This is Grace we're
talking about?

The formidable Grace Macdonald?

Come on, Julian.

I think the new senior
partner at McKinley

will be able to handle
a break-up just fine.

What?

Especially considering
neither of you

are even happy anymore.

Senior partner?

Yeah.

Well...

Wait. Did you not know
about the job? No, I knew.

I gotta go inside.

I'm really sorry.

- Diana. Been looking for you.
- Yes.

Uh, so there's no luck with
the room at Mercy, sorry,

but you're still on
the list for Lanado.

- Oh, well.
- So...

- Thanks a lot, Marlo.
- You're welcome.

- You're late.
- Only by five minutes.

I'm going to miss my bus.

I'm going to be late to court.

We got stood down.

Um...

We got moved.

We come back this afternoon.

That's...

She's crazy. She just attacked
me, with that bit of glass.

Whatever he's
saying, he's lying.

That son of a b*tch
tried to k*ll me!

She... she was taking a bath
and... and we were talking.

You miss living in Hong Kong?

After everything I've done for
you, you ungrateful f*cking b*tch!

Cherry.

Cherry! Cherry!

Cherry!

Breathe. OK.

Breathe. Breathe.

OK.

OK. Yeah, breathe.

I'm here. I'm here.

Those feelings of...

..entrapment and helplessness

are impossible to articulate.

And besides, who
would believe you?

It's your
understanding that the victim

could not communicate
those feelings to you?

You become a remarkably good
actor in order to survive.

Sorry about how all
of this turned out.

Nup. No.

You don't get to be the
one breaking up with me.

I can't give you what you want.

Well, you said things
were over with Grace.

Why would you say that?

Are you that much of a coward that
you can't even tell me the truth?

- It's so confusing. Everything...
- Oh, you're confused?

f*cking rich.

I'm sorry.

I really am. I wish I
could explain, but I can't.

I can't believe I
actually believed you.

It was all bullshit.

It's not... bullshit, OK?

Life's a bit more
complicated than that.

Oh, life's complicated?

Mmm. Indulge me.

- Grow up.
- f*ck you.

It's not just
black-and-white, OK?

- Mm-hm.
- Things get complicated.

Nup, don't... don't touch me.

I'm s... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I...

Can we not end something that
was so good on a bad note?

I still love you. I...

Bye, Julian.

Just an hour more. Two, max.

- Please, Mary. I have to go back in.
- I told you, I have tutoring this afternoon.

Please! I wouldn't be asking
if it wasn't an emergency.

I can't do it. Sorry!

You can't just leave them
alone. Are you insane?

I can't do it.

Thanks.

How did the presentation go
with the Minister's office?

Oh, it's not looking good.

M-Mum, it's... it's me.

You've got some good
toys there to play with?

- Yeah?
- Angel.

Matthew!

Who is she? Get away from her.

Hello. I'm Caitlin Pollard.

I've been trying to speak to
you over the past few days.

Mrs Yeo, your children were left
unattended. Did you know that?

You stupid, useless girl.

What were you thinking,
leaving them alone?

- You're a disgrace.
- What are you doing here?

OK, I'm not quite sure
what's going on here.

- Are you Yu?
- Yes, yes. I'm here now.

My grandchildren called me
because you left them alone.

Ma Ma, we're okay.
Nothing happened.

That lady said we
had to call someone.

And your phone was off.

I had to turn it off in court.

- Get in the car, come on.
- Don't get in the car.

Mrs Yeo.

I called in this afternoon. Your
children were left unattended.

Will you take a look at yourself?
You never deserved my son.

I've reached out
to you repeatedly.

Cherry, I don't understand
what you're saying.

I'm so sorry.

Cherry, what's happening?

Phoebe.

My absolute favouritest
colleague in the entire world.

Can I please get you to
do the conflict checks

for tomorrow's court list?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

Would you believe
it came late AGAIN?

Oh, Christ.

You OK?

So you're saying that there was an
active intervention order in place?

The police had applied
for an IVO for Julian...

..to protect him from Grace.
