01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Do you really think that
she's guilty?

Beyond reasonable doubt.

Heidi Lang, daughter of
successful businessman Vincent Lang,

was acquitted
of murdering her boss today -

public relations director,
Belinda Brooks.

Heidi Link smiled at me.

Does it mean she's guilty
and happy that we got her off

or not guilty
and glad we realised it.

Clara, from the jury.

So what do you think
happened to Belinda?

I just can't believe that
Paul would ever hurt her.

She did this.

Then why did he make up
that stuff about me?

What about the husband?
We always said he did it.

Is this trial messing with
your head?

We've decided something
important.

Since it's been hard to let go.

There's time.

Dom's store burned down.

At her house,

you told Heidi that you wished
that Dom's store

would...
Burn to the ground.

That's just a coincidence, right?

They know who the arsonist is.

Dean Walsh, known to police
for stalking.

He's part of a group of
fanatics called Free Heidi.

Dean Walsh is targeting me

like he knows I'm the one who
thought Heidi might be guilty.

- The cops are on to you.
- If they find me,

I'm taking you down too.

I'm so sorry. He's my stalker
and now he's after you.

What do you want from me?

I think I'm losing my mind.

We're are all going to call into
work sick for tomorrow

and pack a bag.

The kids should stay with
you tonight, they'll be safer there.

Don't worry. I'm not letting them
anywhere near you

while you're messed up in this crap.

Why was Daniel there?

Dean Walsh.

You're going to love my
parents place.

Country air, open fire.

Daniel is a m*rder*r.

We think he might be.

Whatever you do, stay away
from Daniel.

Oh, gross.

Hey, Dad. Um.

Do you know when you're going to be
home?

Dinner was delicious by the way.

I have you on camera. Piss off
or I'll send it to the cops.

Who are you?
What do you want?

You can stop filming,
it's OK.

We're just here
to talk to Daniel.

Dad?

Yeah, we did jury duty
with him.

Sorry if we scared you.

We couldn't see your dad's car

and we weren't sure
if anyone was home.

I'm not home alone.

There's heaps of people
here, just not dad.

Your dad never mentioned
a daughter.

He didn't mention anything
about you two either.

And the only person he talked
about from jury duty

was someone called... Carla.

Clara.

What did he say about her?

That she was annoying.

Do you hear that?

He said she was annoying,
maybe he's got her.

What, he kidnapped her?

Well, Clara is missing,
Daniel's missing.

He's been stalking her,
isn't that what stalkers do?

I'll let dad know you
stopped by.

Oh it's OK, we can wait.

I'm not letting randoms
in the house.

Oh, yeah. No.
So you shouldn't.

Yeah, we'll wait in the car.

Or if you don't mind,
this looks comfy.

Please go ahead.

We won't bother you
or anybody else in there.

Smooth.

Is everything alright?

What is it you want to
talk to my dad about?

Is it got to do with that weird
guy that was here yesterday?

Which guy?

Has someone been bothering your dad?

Is that who you thought we were just
now?

It's OK, you can tell us.

I was in bed.

I heard yelling.

I couldn't make out
what they were saying

but things looked pretty intense.

Uh, this guy, did he look
anything like this?

It was him, wasn't it?

It's getting cold.

You guys can wait inside
if you want.

Impressive.

I'm a bit rusty, haven't
been up to the homestead in ages.

It's so peaceful out here.

Yeah, it's a great place to
reset.

Linda and I used to escape
here when work got to stressy.

What was that?

Oh, it's fine.

No one saw us leave the city.

It's just you, me
and the open fire out here.

This looks old and French.

You're sure your dad's OK
with us raiding his cellar.

He won't ever notice.

Oh, finally.

It's charged.

Message received at 7:15 p.m.

We don't want to freak you
out but...


Daniel is a m*rder*r.
We think he might be.


Daniel is definitely your
stalker.


Just call us back, OK.

Message received
at 8:38 PM.


Dean Walsh has been bashed to death.

We went to your house but you
weren't there.

Just let us know you're
OK wherever you are.

What's wrong?

Um, the fanatic who we thought was
stalking us has been m*rder*d.

Holy crap.

Did they know who did it?

No. I mean, I don't know.

All they know is that he's
been bashed to death.

sh*t.

Are you OK?

You seem freaked out.

Shouldn't I be?

The guy who took photos of my kids
and burnt my exes shop to the ground

has been m*rder*d.

Well yeah, but aren't you
just this tiny bit relieved?

I mean, he lit that fire
just because you doubted me,

imagine what he could have
done next.

I didn't want him dead and
I didn't doubt you, remember?

I voted not guilty.

In the end.

I don't mean to be heartless
it's just,

he's been following
my every move for months,

at least we don't have to worry
about him anymore?

Do you mind if I take a
quick shower?

Take as long as you need.

It's so peaceful out here.

I'm OK, will explain later.

Is that from dad?
No. Clara.

Were you worried she wasn't
OK?

No, don't know.

Sorry.

Hi.

So should I just take the
bus to work?

Oh, sh*t.
Um...

- You're still at the shop?
- Yeah.

The pub ordered 10 meat trays
just at the last minute,

but look I'm leaving soon.
Give me 30.

Thirty?
Twenty?

You're 20 minutes
or 20 minutes, 20 minutes.

The last one?

Yeah OK, we got to run.

You're sure you would be OK
on your own.

I told you,
I'm not on my own.

Can you call your mum?

Yeah, she's here.

Look darling, I'm so sorry
I didn't know.

She's in there?

Sometimes I forget she's even gone,
even though it's been over a year.

I feel the same about
my dad.

It's been 27 years.

OK, so you will call us when
your dad comes home, yeah?

Yeah, sure.

OK.

I know it's past their bedtime

but I couldn't call any earlier,
my phone was dead.

Give them a kiss for me
in the morning OK?

Bye.

You followed us in your blue car,
right?

What's that got to do with
anything?

The same car you've been
following me around in all week.

Don't lie.

Maggie and Ollie know it's you.
You scared the sh*t out of me.

I'm really sorry about that.

I'll explain everything,
but we've gonna go.

I'm not going anywhere
with you.

It's not safe with Heidi
here, OK?

There's been a development.

Yes.

My other stalker is dead.

So he is dead.

You weren't sure?

I saw this crime scene
but I wasn't sure.

You were there when he died.

You think that I k*lled him?

I don't know what to think.

You don't suspect that Heidi might
have something to do with this?

She bludgeons a man to death
then pick me up for a road trip.

I think that Heidi
and Dean Walsh are connected.

Yes, well done.

He was one of her online fanatics,
she was terrified of him.

I have a feeling that she paid him

to burn down
your ex-husband's store.

- Based on what?
- The gut thing.

Like how you always felt that Heidi
was guilty. Remember?

- Please go.
- No.

- Not without you.
- Here's a tip.

If you try to earn someone's trust,

break and enter isn't
the best way to go about it.

OK, got it.

Let's go.

Come on.

Clara!

Get away.

What's wrong?

Huntsman, he gave me
a fright but I chased him out.

He's gone now.

It's harder for spiders to
get in with the door closed.

But the country air
is so good.

Triple word makes it 24.

So how was the shops?

Sorry.

Today you went shopping all day,
buy anything special?

Nothing as special
as those PJ's.

They are a Mother's Day
present.

Left the matching socks at home.

I bought a few things.

A dress, a book and some new lippy.

What colour?

A cherry fog,
or was it storm?

I love lipstick.

Really?

You don't wear it much.

I do, on weekends.

Did you bring it up?

- Why? You want to see it?
- May I?

Yeah, sure. If you want.

It's brand new.

Yeah, I bought it today.

Have it.

No, I can't.

I thought you said you
loved lipstick.

I do.

Then take it, it's yours.

I'm on to you.

You are.

You're trying to string out
your turn, aren't you?

Only because I have
the worst letters ever.

What are you doing?

Oh, I missed the turn now?

According to who?
The rules.

The rules. No, scrabble police
are going to come

and throw you in board game jail.

Go on, have another turn.

I won't tell anyone if you don't.

I made you a coffee.

Thanks.

Did you sleep OK?

Eventually, I kept thinking,
I wonder who k*lled Dean Walsh.

Someone like him would
have a lot of enemies.

Paul didn't like him much.

Dean posted online that Paul k*lled
his wife to inherit her business.

Paul always was intimidated
by Belinda's brains and success.

It's almost like it pissed him off.

Did he ever get violent?

He never hit her or anything but he
does have a shocking temper,

although there's a reason for that.

Drugs?
Steroids.

You didn't hear that for
me but figures though.

Paul used to be a personal
trainer, that's how they met.

He knows nothing about PR,
except he likes the money.

Are you hungry?

There is a half-decent cafe in town,
my shout.

Oh, I was hoping we might
head home.

The kids have been
with their dad a week so...

Of course you must miss
them.

Dom's making sure of that.

Stop, don't put up with that.

You want to see your kids,

you just march on over there
and you demand that you do.

Because it's that easy?

Clara, you are their mum.

Morning.

You get lot's of marking done?

Last night, stayed back at work,
yeah?

Yeah.

I made a dent in it.

Margie, what are you're doing here?

I called her.

There you go.

Zoe, can you go inside?

No, I'm staying.
Zoe.

I want to hear. You never
talk to me anymore about anything.

Ollie and I saw you in
the national park last night.

What were you doing?

We know that you knew Dean Walsh,
too.

- I saw you with him.
- What?

Tell her the truth, Dad.

Can you go inside, Zoe.

Now!

Daniel, what happened
to your knuckles?

Police said that the victim
had been beaten to death.

Wait, what?

Is - Dad?

I grazed them working on
the bike.

Like you've raised them before
when you sneak out

in the middle of the night.

Talk!

I joined the Fight Club.

- Fight Club?
- Yes.

- Are you Brad Pitt now?
- Just a bunch of normal guys.

We get together and we fight.

Sounds perfectly normal.

How long have you been
doing this?

I first went
about a year ago.

After mum?

I went last night
after I saw Clara.

She was with you?

No, she was with Heidi.

They went to the country together.

How do you know that?

Because I followed them.

Ever since the fire,
I have been checking up on Clara.

- Why?
- Because I feel responsible.

How do you feel responsible
for the fire?

Tell me.

Talk.

Someone's dead, Dad.

About three weeks
into the trial,

one of the Free Heidi fanatics
followed me from court into a pub.

Dean Walsh?

The dead guy?

He wanted to pay one of us to make
sure that we voted not guilty.

Like a bribe?

And you took it?

How much?

I want to know how much
lying to us was worth.

It was 40 grand.

I haven't spent any of it,
I don't want it.

Can he go to jail for this?

I know it was a stupid
thing to do.

I wasn't thinking.

I mean, my head's
been messed up for a while.

I can't even remember agreeing
to do it.

The fanatic, he said
that he was acting alone.

The bribe and the fire
but I'm not so sure.

So when the police found
out who lit the fire,

you knew where he was
and said nothing.

Do you have any idea
how terrified Clara was?

Yes, and I feel sick
about it

but I told him over and over,

Clara voted not guilty
same as the rest of us.

Thanks to you.

I picked a hiding spot nearby
so I could keep an eye on him

to make sure that
he wouldn't go near Clara.

I said to him, I'll give your


to keep him as far away
from Clara as possible.

Let's not forget that him
disappearing

would help cover your tracks, too.

Yeah.

I was on my way back to giving
the money

and I saw the crime scene
and I freaked out.

I turned around and drove away.

Zoe, I know what I did was wrong,

I'm late for school.

Zoe.

Mom.
Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Alright, Jamie,
get in the car. We're late.

What are you doing here?

What if that weirdo followed you?

He can't, not anymore.
What has he been caught?

- Kind of, he's been m*rder*d.
- What?

But the point is, we don't
have to worry anymore.

The person who was
stalking has been m*rder*d

and you think there's
nothing to worry about?

Dom, I'm pretty sure he's
not actually the one stalking me.

Not recently, anyway.

Have you got any idea how
nuts you sound?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

I know since the trial I've been
slightly less sane than usual

but you have to agree
up until now

I've been a bloody awesome mum,
right?

Yeah, agreed.

Well, I get that you want
to punish me.

There is no way in hell I'll
let you punish the kids too.

They need to see me.

I'm their mum
and I demand to see them.

- You demand?
- Yes, I demand.

I'm demanding.

OK, I'll bring them over
for dinner one night this week.

Yeah, we'll sort something out.
OK?

Fine.

Work, I'm gonna take this.

Hello.

It doesn't look like much.

What's that, five grand?



Wh-Why didn't the whack job
pick me?

You can have it,
I don't want it.

We should go to the cops
or the judge or both.

Yeah, if that's what you think.

Yep, it is.

We should talk it through
first.

Thought you weren't involved
anymore.

You uninvolved me.

They're fighting.

We're not fighting and
there's nothing to talk through.

Daniel betrayed us and
perverted the course of justice.

Our verdict was not guilty.

We got that right, was
anything really perverted?

How does that work?

The bribe didn't change
the outcome.

Daniel just made a bit
of cash on the side.

Cash we could all split.

I'm thinking
a little four way action.

What?

It's not like anyone's looking
for it now.

Oh, Heidi might be.

You said you thought she
might have ordered the fire.

Do you think the same
about the bribe?

Yeah, I think so.

Based on what?

Nothing concrete

but I asked Dean Walsh heaps
of times if Heidi was involved,

he always denied it.

Wow.

You two were cosy.

You knew this guy wasn't
following me lately,

you were but you lied
to me about it point blank

and then you made me feel
like it was my fault.

Also, you could cover up your
dirty little corrupt tracks.

It's more complicated than
that, OK?

Daniel has a 16-year-old daughter.

So? He wasn't thinking
about my kids

when he helped that whack job
get away.

It's not just the kid's situation,
Daniel is also a widow.

Er. A widower.

Your wife died?

Last year.

So if he goes to jail,
Zoe will be on her own.

Oh, I get it.

This is all on me.

He's the real criminal,

but I'm the bad guy if I say
we should turn him in.

No one is saying that, OK,

but shouldn't we at least find
out where the bribe came from

before we report it?

There she is.

Free Heidi founder.

She looks so normal.
Perhaps she is.

Thanks for responding so quickly
to my message.

You guys are my heroes.

You saw Heidi was innocent
and you set her free.

Sorry about Dean Walsh.
He was a friend?

Well, he joined the group,
but I wouldn't call him a friend.

It's not like I'm happy he's dead
but he became a real problem for us.

A problem?

Dean was delusional and it
only got worse once the trial began.

He started saying Heidi
was his fiancee.

Maybe they were engaged.

As if, but he still bought
her a wedding dress.

He sent us all pictures, he said
Heidi picked it out herself.

Can we see it?

He was planning on
buying them a house too.

He'd already saved up deposit.

That's an expensive gesture.

Dean was loaded, an IT specialist
who bragged about it all the time.

Here it is.

Oh, hello meringue.

There's no way Heidi picked out
that dress.

If Dean Walsh had such a cushy job,

he could have paid for the bribe
himself.

But maybe he was telling
Daniel the truth

and Heidi had nothing to do with it.

Zoe.

Where were you,
school finished hours ago.

With friends.

I was worried.

Why didn't you answer
you're phone?

You never do.
Where were you?

Paris.
Zoe.

What?

I thought honesty didn't
matter in this house anymore.

OK, there is you're dinner?

Yeah, I've already eaten.

Hi, brought some coffees.

Great, you can leave them
on the veranda on your way out.

We know he's been a d*ck,
but he's a d*ck who knows things.

We'll get to the truth
faster with him than without him.

What did you want to show us?

I started a crime flow
chart thingy,

I thought it might help make
things clearer in our heads.

And those two are the dead
people.

What? They are.

The question is,
who k*lled them?

We know -

Heidi had the opportunity
and motive to k*ll her boss.

And if she ordered Daniel's
bribe and the fire,

she had motive to k*ll Dean Walsh
too.

How?

He stuffed up when he left his
fingerprints at the fire scene.

You know, if he'd been caught
by the police

and blabbed about the bribe,

then everything would have
unravelled for Heidi.

But it turns out Dean Walsh
wasn't short on cash.

So there's a chance that
Heidi didn't pay for Daniel's bribe.

It was a misguided
romantic gesture

from Dean Walsh
to his fantasy bride.

And the fire could have
just been him punishing me

for doubting Heidi after all.

OK, so if Heidi had nothing
to do with the fire or the bribe,

then who k*lled Dean Walsh?

The odds are it's the same
person who m*rder*d Belinda.

They could have been k*lled
by two different people.

I mean, come on.

I mean, how many murderers
could there be out there?

Exactly.

Which leads us back to the person we
know had motive to k*ll them both.

Paul.

You do think Belinda's
husband m*rder*d her.

If he was on the roids and
that would cause major mood swings.

And shrivelled up ba*ls.

You ruined my coffee.

Heidi's fanatics,

mainly Dean, were accusing Paul
of k*lling his wife online.

m*rder is a pretty effective way
to shut someone up.

I wonder what Paul was up
to yesterday afternoon.

Good morning. Belinda Brooks PR,
Astrid speaking.

Hi.

I'm sorry, that invoice
should have been paid last week.

OK, bye.

We're Clarissa and Wally,
we have a meeting with Paul Brooks.

Now?

There's nothing in the diary.

Oh, I am having a terrible
week, maybe it was yesterday.

I love the texture on this wood.

- Morning.
- Can you confirm you were

a neighbour of the deceased,
Belinda Brooks?

Yes, I was.

Maybe we could meet with
her instead.

Megan?

Why not?
She's just the accountant.

How long has she been
working here?

Do you remember that woman,
the accountant?

She was the witness,
the key witness in the trial.

She backed up Paul's story.

She said on the morning
of Belinda's m*rder that she...

...heard an argument coming
from the roof between two women.

Could one of those voices
have belonged to a man?

Her husband, for example?

No. The voices were definitely
both female.

She gave evidence that made Heidi
look guilty.

And Paul gave her a job
a month ago.

For the record,
I've never been here.

Ollie and I aren't anything.

Of course.
We know that.

And you guys realise
I'm a lawyer, right?

I don't investigate cases,
I prosecute them.

But we just want you to
talk to your cop mates,

suggest they look into Paul
Brooks for the fanatics' death

given your knowledge
of the wife's m*rder trial.

My knowledge of that trial
is that he wasn't the one on trial.

Yeah, but there was
always evidence

that Paul could have done it

and he was home before Belinda's
body was found on the street below.

He had opportunity, his DNA
was on Belinda's clothes too

just like Heidi's was
but because he was her husband,

the police didn't think
that was suspicious.

There was no evidence to
suggest they should have.

What if there is now?

You remember Megan, his
neighbour, you cross-examined her?

I remember.

What if there's a reason
why she gave an account of events

that kept Paul in the clear?

He promised her a job,

one she was not qualified for
as a reward.

Maybe they are friends.

She needed a job
and Paul did her a favour.

Or she already did him one.

I'm confused,

which m*rder are you saying Paul
might be responsible for?

Both.

Paul hated that Dean guy.

Paul's diary.

Time of the fanatic's m*rder, look
what's between 12 and 3 PM.

Out of office, so he could
still have an alibi.

Well, it's worth checking,
isn't it?

m*rder is a full-on response
to trolling.

Paul was threatened by his
wife's success.

It frustrated him.

Yeah, not great news.

Says he has anger issues
due to his steroid abuse.

Maybe the morning his wife
was m*rder*d, he snapped,

pushed her off the roof the same way
that he pushed me the other day.

Like I said,
I'm not the cops.

And it's crap but not every case
goes your way, that's the system.

You have to accept it and move on.

And just give up on justice?

I wouldn't call it
giving up.

Well, you had a go at me for not
taking my civic duty seriously,

what about yours?

So you're weird flowchart
thingy worked.

I mean, we did it.

We solved the case.

Yeah, give the police a
chance to investigate Paul first.

Yeah, their problem now.

I better get back in there.

Say goodnight to Eliza
for us.

- Oh, I will.
- Yeah.

Bye.

I guess we're all uninvolved now.

Dom's bringing the kids
over for dinner tonight.

That's wonderful.

It's supervised.

It's a start.

I mean, look, I don't have kids
of my own

so I'm not an authority
on this

but I can only imagine how terrible
it must be

to be separated from them.

You're asking me to cut
Daniel some slack.

All I'm saying is that,
you know,

if we did get the verdict right

then it makes Daniel's bribe feel
like less of a betrayal somehow.

It's still a crime.

I know he lied to you and I don't
condone that but his wife died.

She was just 42.

I mean, if I lost Tricia

I would do something
way worse than accept a bribe.

Morning.

Morning, it's 6 PM.

Well, you're doing nights
shift so this is your morning.

Take a seat.

What is that smell?

That smell is my chilly egg
thing.

I love your chilly egg
thing.

I know.

And after dinner-breakfast, I'm
going to drive you to work on time.

And in the morning,
I'm going to pick you up

at maybe not as much on time.

Very reasonable.
What's all this in aid of?

You.

Well, I'll drink to that.

Coming.

Guess what I just put in the oven,
chicken nuggets.

Hi.

Oh, sorry, I'm expecting...

...the kids are coming over
for dinner.

Well do you want me
to go I...

Mum.

Hi.

Hey guys, do you want to
just come over here for a sec?

Seriously?

She just popped by.

Popped by like a friend?

She's an accused k*ller.

Exactly, accused.

She was found innocent
by me.

This you being
an awesome mum?

Sorry kids,
your mom has a visitor.

We'll come back another night, yeah?

Say goodbye.

Bye.

That was because of me,
wasn't it?

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have come over
just unannounced.

That's OK.

Well, it's just that you
inspired me to do something

amazing today and I really
wanted to show you.

OK, great.

Ta da!

Here we are.

Sorry, where are we?

My new office.

You got a job?

Kind of.

Since no one would hire me,
I'm launching my own PR firm.

But how did you afford
all this?

Credit cards, but since the
court case ended,

Belinda's clients have been begging
me to take over their accounts.

Really?

I know it might seem rash,
but I have thought about this a lot.

During the trial,
planning my fantasy business,

got me through dark days.

I wasn't sure I could do it
on my own

but your friendship has helped me
believe in myself again

and here we are.

It's also not just about me,
my old workmates deserve better.

Paul is a terrible boss.

Maybe not for much longer.
Sorry?

Nothing, it doesn't matter.

Well, it's obviously not
nothing.

Apparently,
the police are investigating Paul

as a suspect
in your fanatics' m*rder.

You've been speaking
to the cops?

No, not at all.

It's just something I heard
somewhere.

What's that for?

It's just something that
I've been dying to get rid of.

Oh, do you want to go?

Um. No, thanks.

Come on rules girl, you
know you want to.

I need to get going,
I should really call the kids.

Oh OK.

Are you free on Friday?

I'm having a super
casual opening with friends.

So you'll come?
I'll come.

I'll drive you home.

It's OK, Uber.

- You've got a bit to do.
- OK.

Oh, one minute, better run.

OK.

What's the matter rules girl,
you don't want to play anymore?

The drinks are free, right?

I want to get this over
with too.

What?

The other day you drive to
the countryside with Heidi alone

and now you're begging me
to chaperone you to her party,

what's changed?

She's set up her own business with
Belinda's old client list and staff.

Oh, maybe she's
an opportunistic businesswoman.

Or a m*rder*r with a motive.

I thought we decided Paul
k*lled Belinda.

It's a gut feeling.

Oh, good.

Good, that's back.

Clara.
So much for casual drinks.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Hey.

You two so made the right decision.

Sorry, we did?

You're going with Heidi
to do your PR, right?

Paul's destroyed Belinda's
business

plus he's super grumpy all the time
but we all know why.

You didn't hear that from me.

I am so excited to start
working here.

- Heidi poached you?
- She rescued me.

Hi, everyone.

Hi.
You look amazing.

Hi. Hello. Hello.

Oh, yes.

I'm glad you could make it.
Ollie.

Heidi.

So, what do you think?

Oh, it's great.

Heidi.

Congratulations, I suppose.

Hi, would you like a drink?

Nah, I'm not in the mood.

You know, coming home to find
the police searching your apartment,

- it can kind of k*ll the buzz.
- Can you just stop?

I wonder who tipped them
off, huh?

Wow.

Astrid, really?

Belinda gave you your first
job and paid your way through uni

and this is how you thank her.

Heidi's my friend.

Yeah, Belinda thought that,
too.

So did I.

How have you managed
to fool everyone?

What are you two doing here?

Paul Brooke's, you're under
arrest for the m*rder of Dean Walsh.

Based on what?

The suspected m*rder weapon
was found in your apartment,

so there's that.

You put it there,
didn't you?

Why would I do that?

Well played Heidi,
well played. You win.

Now you've taken everything.

Oh, the cops charged him.

I mean, they must have good reason.

Well, he was telling the truth about
one thing, we were friends.

I never wanted to believe

that he could actually do something
like this.

But if he did k*ll that guy,
what about Belinda?

Clara.

You and your bloody bribe

it's made things even more
complicated than they already were.

Sorry.

Paul's been arrested for
m*rder and it could be my fault.

No, not if Paul did do it.

- You don't get to do this.
- Do what?

Tell me what to think just
like you did in the jury room

even though my gut was saying,
screaming the opposite.

Gut or no gut there was
reasonable doubt

and the verdict would always remain
the same bribe or not.

We don't know that.

Still, we went gunning for Paul

trying to prove we did somehow
get it right.

That's still possible.

I know, but I told Heidi
the police were looking into Paul

and suddenly the m*rder weapon
shows up in his apartment.

Coincidence?

No, not if Paul's a m*rder*r.

Who knows if he is or not?

I don't know anything anymore.

Actually, that's wrong.

I know one thing.

From now on, I'll be listening
to my gut and nobody else.

Got it.

Ah... Got it.

Got it.

Thanks.

I know why you've been
ignoring me, I probably would too.

I don't deserve your respect at all.

Not until I face up to it
and do the right thing.

Dad, no.

I'm turning myself in
for the bribe.
