Episode 4

1 The only man I know who works the night shift after winning the grand final.
Come on.
Let's go.
Doctor, the last thing we want to do is agitate her.
She's still experiencing cognitive deficits.
She is very fragile.
I understand that, but it's just a quick visual ID.
That's it.
TONY: The family want this.
Hi, Elly.
My name's Detective Prasad and this is Detective Sloane.
We'd like to show you four photos of some people.
And I'd like you to tell me if you can recognise anyone.
Would that be OK? Thanks.
Kanye.
OK.
That's enough.
She needs to rest.
- (CAR HORN TOOTS) - You're the man, Jacob! - You've got the spotlight, man.
- Sunshine Kings! (CAR HORN CONTINUES HOOTING) What's that about? (PHONE BEEPS) - I gotta go.
- Is everything OK, J? Yeah.
Hey, brother We're the Sunshine Kings! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Boy! We champions! (PHONE VIBRATES) Hello? - MAN: Jacob Garang? - Yes.
Jacob, it's Carlyle Jones from MSU.
- Congratulations on your SAT.
- Oh, thank you.
I've just flown 21 hours to come see you play.
- You're here? - I'm here in Melbourne.
And I'd like to meet with you and your family before the big game.
(CAR HORN TOOTS) - Hey, look.
It's Eddie! - Eddie! Hey.
Eddie! Eddie, look! - Guys, it's Eddie! - Hey, guys.

Jacob.
Welcome to our home, Mr Jones.
- Hello, Jacob.
- This is my mum, Mari.
- Hello.
Welcome.
- Nice to meet you.
- My little sister, Grace.
- Nice to meet you.
(TELEVISION PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND) (FOOTSTEPS) Yeah, I'll be right there.
Larry? Larry? This is my room.
- Is it always this neat? - No.
- LeBron or Jordan? - Jordan.
He's the man.
Yeah, he is the man.
So, it must have been a great feeling to knock down that three to win the final last night.
Yeah.
Everybody patting you on the back, calling you the man.
So how do you think you really played.
Because I saw the stats - down on points, rebounds, assists.
You talked to your coach about your performance? Not yet.
You and Eddie Grattan got a good relationship? He's a very good coach.
Your mother told me that Eddie has been like a father figure to you.
Guess he has.
Bye-bye, Mr Jones.
Thank you for a lovely meal, Mrs Garang.
Thank you.
- See you at the game, Jacob.
- Yes, coach.
GRACE: What do they want? Hi.
We're looking for Jacob.
- Is he home? - He's not home.
- Is he at work maybe, or a friend's? - What do you want from him? He has been identified as a person of interest by Elly Messina.
My son would never hurt anyone.
He's innocent.
If you could ask Jacob to give us a call.
Can you hang on to that for Mum? Thank you.
Jacob.
Jacob.
Jacob.
Eddie Grattan.
You would be the talent scout.
Carlyle Jones.
MSU.
I was hoping to talk to you about Jacob Garang.
- Sure.
- You played for Nebraska, right? Yeah, long time ago.
What do you want to know about Jacob? Jacob seems to come from a good family.
Yeah, he came here with his mother, sister They've done it tough.
How does he handle that type of pressure? Well, let's put it this way, an entire game with one second left on the clock, he's the kid that wants the ball in his hands.
- Can't teach that.
- No, you can't.
Look, everyone says you've done a great job with him - shooting, defence, his efficiency.
No, he's a diamond.
I just gave him a bit of a polish.
I didn't do much.
For us, he ticks all the boxes.
Now it's down to the State Champs, serious step up in class.
- He won't let you down.
- Appreciate that.
Yeah.
Pleasure.
Eddie? Does Jacob know? You checked? It's my job.
I check on everyone.
Yeah, he knows.
You know he only gets one shot at this.
You know, I've never pretended to be anything that I'm not.
I've been paying for one mistake my whole life.
Pretty big mistake.
It was a long time ago, son.
You don't get it, do you? I invited you into my home.
You met my family.
I trusted you.
And I'm not your son.
I'll see you at trophy night.
Alright, check it out.
What's up, Sunshine? - (CROWD CHEERS) - Sunshine Kings! Yo, Justice in the building.
(RAPS) The struggle and the juggle are blazing the hot spots.
And that's a hard court.
Maribyrnong, they can't win.
You start off on playing the PlayStation, people winning impatiently.
The crowd been waiting.
Competition they're hating.
Here to unite the nation, it's the dream team of His Eminence.
The whistle and the whiteboard of his prominence.
Sunshine, we put it down for our town.
Sunshine, we're the Sunshine.
Sunshine.
And you can make a milly out of a goddamn dime.
(ALL CHEER) Give it up, give it up, one more time for Santino.
(ALL CHEER) That was fire.
There's one last award I would like to give out tonight.
First, I was against the idea of this guy being our coach.
To me, he was just the angry white guy behind the counters at Sunshine Sports.
He still is! They say it's not what the coach knows, but what his players have learnt.
And we have learnt to play with one heartbeat.
So give it up for coach Eddie Grattan.
(CHEERING, WHISTLING) Thank you.
Thanks for those kind words.
(PHONE BEEPS) Well, it's been It's been a long time since I won a trophy of any description, - I can tell you.
- (PHONE CONTINUES TO BEEP) And, um When I first was offered To be honest, I mean, I wasn't sure I wanted to take this job when it came along.
You know, I (PHONES BEEP) I've been out of the game for .
.
a long time.
And I wasn't sure I was still .
.
had what it took.
(ON VIDEO) You got what you deserve, you black (BLEEP).
Um (VIDEO CONTINUES TO PLAY ON PHONES) Eddie fucked things up for you, bro.
We should have kept the peacock, man.
Look Someone sent me the tape after I won a semifinal.
What? And you kept it from us? - You let him keep coaching us? - We had to win the finals, man.
- You sold us out for your dream.
- It's not just my dream.
It's my mum's, my sister's, my father's, the community.
- Everyone is depending on me.
- You had no fucking right, man.
And you had no right stealing that Porsche.
Putting us in shit with the police.
Putting our whole season in danger.
Mate, it's just fucking basketball.
It's not just basketball.
It's my life, man.
You don't care about anyone except yourself, Santino.
But me, I've got to worry about everyone else.
- You fucking sold us out, man.
- And you can fuck off, Santino.
Shit happened to us all, bro.
But we don't go around destroying people's lives like you.
I won't be judged by you, man.
You have no responsibilities.
- Chill, man.
- You don't know what family is.
You know what? I got a family.
It's you.
It's all of you.
I can't even look at you right now, man.
(PHONE BEEPS) So your boyfriend just threw you out? Did he hurt you? Why are you so interested in my boyfriend? I'm only 15, you know.
How much have you been drinking? What, are you going to get all righteous on me about being underage? I'm a big girl, Kanye.
I can get wasted - Fuck whoever I like.
- Don't talk like that.
What did you do? Get angry? Didn't get what you wanted? So you drove somewhere quiet where no-one could see.
I drove her home.
We're here.
Hey, Elly - Where am I? - Home.
Ow.
Oh, shit! You're bleeding.
It's nothing.
- How did it happen? - I'll be OK.
Thank you so much for coming back and getting me.
- Are you sure you're alright? - Mm-hm.
Oh, shit! Elly! Elly! WOMAN: Do you require police, fire or ambulance? There's a girl She needs an ambulance.
She's hurt.
Number 6, Callistemon Drive, Templestowe.
Serious.
You've got to hurry, man.
SLOANE: If you pressed the doorbell, she'd have got help sooner.
- She might be walking around today.
- You think I haven't thought about? - And yet you just left her lying there.
- I knew how it would have looked.
I've been in this job a long time, son.
Nine times out of 10 How it looks is how it is.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - Thanks.
- Did you hurt Elly Messina? - No.
Why should I believe you? Why should I represent you? - Are you going to keep lying to me? - No.
If you didn't hurt her, why are you throwing your life away like this? They just want to close the case and you're making it easy for them.
- Maybe I deserve this.
- Why? Keeping information from the police to protect myself.
What information? OK.
Tell them what you told me.
I dropped Elly at a house in Alphington that night.
OK.
- Can you remember the address? - No.
But I could take you there.
- You sure? - That's the house.
Run it.
- You know who lives here? - She said her boyfriend.
Here.
Look whose house it is.
MARI: Grace Grace.
You know, you really don't need to stay here.
It's very uncomfortable.
- For whom? - For you.
For Grace.
Let Zara handle this.
There's nothing that you I will stay here as long as my son stays here.
I'm not leaving.
I've got a couple of meetings early next week.
Can you let me know when? (CLEARS THROAT) Excuse us.
- Can I help you, detectives? - No, you're OK.
Um, we'd just like a quick word with Mr Canning.
Talk soon.
Through here, Mr Canning.
That's him! Is there any reason this conversation couldn't take place at the hospital? We have a suspect in the interview room next door.
Turned himself in.
My client will be pleased to hear that.
- Has he been charged? - Not yet.
We're just dotting the Is, crossing the Ts.
Why didn't you tell us that you saw Elly Messina that night? Elly often babysits my daughter, Mia.
She came over in a state.
Trouble at home.
She swore me to secrecy.
This is a serious police investigation, Mr Canning.
- You're an officer of the court.
- I was in a bind.
Elly's like family to me.
Her father's my biggest client.
But He's got a temper on him.
You have a duty.
You took an oath.
Sometimes there's the letter of the law, Detective, and sometimes there's just the right to do.
Really? So what happened then? I made her a cup of tea, she calmed down a bit, then she called a friend who came and drove her home.
I would have done it myself, but my wife was interstate so I had to mind my daughter who was upstairs asleep.
Any idea who this friend was? Boyfriend, probably.
What you're saying is a highly respected lawyer on retainer to the victim's father and a trusted family friend had sex with their daughter, a minor, and then assaulted her? - I saw them.
It's the truth.
- Not if no-one believes it.
Oh, Jacob OK.
They are going to hold you here until they can charge you, and when they do charge you, we are going to fight it, OK? This won't go to conviction.
- You mustn't give up.
- He's a big-time lawyer, Zara.
I know how it goes.
Mrs Garang.
We have a warrant to search your premises.
Would you come with us, please? You'll play better without me, Deng Deng.
- He deserves that scholarship.
- Jacob isn't going anywhere.
Why's that? They got him in jail.
Your mum tells me there's a big game this week.
State Championships.
Says you're pretty good.
Can I get you anything? Another blanket? Goodnight, son.
- Nothing from forensics? - Nothing yet.
What? Why would this kid, just days before the biggest game of his life, turn himself in? (THUMP!) (THUMP! THUMP!) - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! - Who, who? - Sunshine Kings! Oh, Lord, can you help me? I dreamt to be a priest But now I'm in the streets trying to be a G Heaven's kinda far away Mamma, please forgive me Grandma tried to guide me Now the devil's trying to get me Oh, Lord, can you help me? - Jacob! - Jacob! - We're here, man! - You're the king, Jacob! Hey, Mari.
I just thought you could do with this.
I've got mine here.
Look He's a really good kid.
He's going to beat this.
You brought him up well.
But I wish he would have felt like he could have come and talked to me while all this was going on.
Maybe he thought all you will see .
.
is an animal or a monkey.
WOMAN: Haven't you got a home to go to? (PHONE RINGS) Yes? Your client's hooded top tested positive.
It was washed, but there was conclusive trace elements of the victim's blood.
Seems like we've got what we need.
(HANGS UP) - Conference room in five? - Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Hi, Mia.
Hi.
Do you remember me? I'm Zara.
I met you at your dad's office.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hey, do you mind if I ask you a question? Do you remember the last time Elly came to your house? I was asleep upstairs.
I didn't see her.
Elly used to babysit you, didn't she? Did she let you stay up past your bedtime? - We made a cubby out of blankets.
- Oh, so fun! Elly was like a big sister to you, wasn't she? Mia .
.
if something bad happened .
.
you can tell me.
Mia! Go back to Go back to bed, sweetheart.
Go back to bed.
(ARGUE INDISTINCTLY) Don't you threaten me! Mia Mia! Good luck with the State Championships.
Go on.
- Hey, Ben.
- Tony.
She's 15, mate.
You're a fucking dog! - Fuck! Dog! Come on! - Enough! - Rev.
- Eddie.
I've been praying for divine intervention.
Well Failing that, I thought I'd, um .
.
give you these.
Might be of some help.
Yeah.
Thank you.
- Coming to the game? - No.
I don't want to distract the boys.
I'll cast your burden to the Lord and he shall sustain you.
I don't know what to do.
But I I don't think I can be forgiven for what I did.
Have you asked? How can I even look them in the eyes? How could you not? REVEREND: Come in, boys.
Tighten your huddle here, OK? Boys, you belong here.
So I want you to stand proud out there tonight.
