03:07all good you noticed how many tourists are turning up here just to see where
03:12Stevie died I mean there's been more in the last few days than we've seen in
03:16months I guess they just want to show their respects no this has got nothing
03:20to do with respect they're flogging knockoff t-shirts and taking photos of
03:24the memorial it's not great it's not like we can stop them yeah but we can
03:29stop this place feeling like some sort of zoo yeah what do you suggest well I
03:33reckon we should start getting back to normal I mean right now you'd be down on
03:37the beach doing your surf lessons right yeah but it's only just happened look I
03:43think things will go back to normal but it's gonna take time yeah but spruiking
03:47merchandise and making this little community feel like it's some sort of
03:51morbid theme park it's just not right no I know I didn't know Stevie all that
03:58well but I reckon she'd agree okay come on let's have a chat and see what we can
04:03figure out okay
04:10hey
04:15why is Tony doing here no idea
04:28oh you would have left already so a few things to do how you feeling I just want
04:36it done with are you sure you don't want me to come it's not like I've got any

05:30soon for me to it's not just because I feel uncomfortable I can't go back on
05:35the beach no yeah why not it's called sorry business when someone passes away
05:42we can't disturb their spirit at least not until the community's been able to
05:47say goodbye how do we do that usually an elder would come in to a smoking
05:53ceremony help the spirit move on oh we should definitely do that could you
05:58arrange it maybe but what do we do until then I know mr. Stewart wants everything
06:05to go back to normal but I can't we could just say our clients are busy I
06:10don't want to lie doesn't feel right either
06:19at least because you chased that shooter gave us a couple more days to prepare
06:23thought you had everything locked in already I do and as long as the
06:29prosecution doesn't pull any surprises I'll get you through this still don't
06:33know that's why I'm the lawyer whoa hey what are you doing I'm coming with you

07:15District Hospital you have elected to enter no plea prosecution call your
07:22first witness we call to the stand Dana Matheson tell me Dana mr. Parata was
07:30often in the hospital yes all of the nurses we loved having Tane there he was
07:35great with Poppy and he really helped us is it true the accused mr. Parata became
07:40aggressive no no not not to us or the baby it's well documented mr. Parata
07:47fought with a journalist in objection your honor how is this relevant to the
07:51kidnapping charges I'm getting to that your honor get there quicker

07:59there on that day but you are aware of the incident yes excuse me your honor
08:05this is hearsay just let me rephrase mrs. Matheson well the nursing staff told
08:12the police placed an avio on mr. Parata yes but Poppy was never in danger you
08:18know that you just said yourself you weren't there oh I can't she's his
08:24witness so despite knowing about his avio you let mr. Parata into the hospital
08:30to spend time with the child it wasn't fair that he couldn't say goodbye to her
08:33he felt sorry for him yes sounds like mr. Parata took advantage of your kindness
08:39and manipulated you in order to visit the child no and while you were busy
08:44seeing other patients he stole the child is that correct
08:51yes that's correct
08:58all right Rose thanks for coming it's all right

12:57your help I'll give you a hammer okay I'll be out in a minute

13:18elder to do the ceremony yeah oh yeah then you need to tell us how you feel
13:24yeah you're up I will
13:32I'm sorry but I don't recall two days ago we spoke about this your memory was
13:40crystal clear but today you can't remember that's right you told police
13:44when you found the house where mr. Paterta was hiding the first thing you
13:49did was check the baby was okay correct I'm sorry but I don't recall is it true
13:54when you discovered mr. Paterta with the kidnapped baby you didn't immediately
13:58call triple zero sorry but I don't recall miss Matheson you are under oath
14:02and can be found in contempt of court if this continues tell them the truth one
14:07more word out of you mr. Potter and I'll be adding contempt of court to your
14:10charges don't do this sit down or I'll call security
14:19miss Matheson kindly answer the question
14:40careful with that all good I'm on to it
14:48this is just too sad yeah it is
14:54talk to him
14:59everything all right actually no mr. Stewart it's not so what's going on you
15:09might not understand this but I can't go down there why Steve is still there
15:18at least her spirit is and until we help her move on I won't disturb her it's a
15:26cultural thing right I've never asked you to do something you're not
15:32comfortable with there's something else I can do yeah have a look around up
15:36there you know see if you can find a spot for him at the Stevie's memorial a
15:40nice place hey
15:47even when mr. Patterson knew the baby's mother was searching for her child he
15:52resisted coming back only because he was concerned for the baby's welfare it's
15:58true you had to convince him talk him down once Tony knew the facts that it
16:04was really Poppy's mother he made his own decision to come back no further
16:10questions defense to cross-examine
16:19your honor I'd like to request an adjournment for what reason I have an
16:24urgent matter I need to discuss with my client we'll adjourn for lunch all rise
16:34what's going on I really thought I was prepared so what happened prosecutor
16:40just started asking all of these things we hadn't covered well that would throw
16:43me too but I feel terrible I feel like I have ruined any chance time I had of
16:49walking free it can't be that bad like surely you're not the only witness hey
16:53hey did I ruin it for him not you did you mess up as well no it's Sonia what
17:03about her she's decided not to testify why I don't know so what does that mean
17:09for timing she was his main witness so without her I don't think he stands a
17:17chance I don't understand what went wrong without speaking to her I'm
17:23guessing Sonia that spooked by the pressure and attention that comes with
17:26going to trial can't you subpoena her or something like what they did with Dana
17:30and Harper forcing her to take the stand isn't gonna help us where does
17:36that leave Tane it's not brilliant Harper's testimony worked in our favor
17:40Dana's not so much I told you from the beginning this was a waste of time hang
17:45on I'm not done fighting this what's the plan then huh because you talked so big
17:49about how Sonia was our secret weapon what happens when we go back to court
17:51this afternoon hey I'm working that out well I need some air don't go far with
18:00this is my fault I don't know how you've come to that conclusion he wanted to be
18:11a father and I stopped that from happening you didn't want to have kids
18:17it's hardly a crime I lied to him he thought we were trying but I kept taking
18:25the pill and that's what ended your marriage
18:31if I'd done things differently and been honest with him and maybe he wouldn't
18:41have become so obsessed with the baby
18:45are you gonna be right to get him to cool yeah why where are you going I've
18:54got some things to work out
19:07thanks for your help today mate no worries I'm sorry if I made you feel
19:12uncomfortable no you didn't it's just not everyone
19:18understands our cultural stuff not everyone wants to well I don't know much
19:25about it but I'm always happy to give it a go I wish everyone was like that
19:30what's going on mate I keep thinking about how nice Stevie was did you know
19:40she posted about mens re boards on her socials that's why I've been so busy
19:44lately she barely knew me yeah she helped me so much yeah she was
19:53something that's for sure I thought that after we'd moved the memorial and got
20:00rid of those dropkicks out of town that things had start to feel better but it
20:06still doesn't feel right
20:15where's Marshall he left salt in a hurry to do something mr. Pirata you appear to
20:21have lost your lawyer I'm sorry your honor you're here mr. Aldridge please
20:29call your first witness I call the defendant
20:35Tane Parata to take the stand what mr. Pirata please move to the stand what is
20:42this you told me was an idea for me to testify we don't have any more options
20:46trust me
20:49you
21:09we will now hear the closing submission from the defense mr. Parata admitted how
21:13badly he wants to be a father it even cost him his marriage did you tell him
21:17not using court you should have warned me I knew you wouldn't go for it
21:22because some things are private I'm sorry Tana is so angry if it keeps him
21:27out of prison then I'll wear it if it helps show the judge the man that I see
21:30it's worth it you have to know by now how much I care about you
