00:00You're safe Perry, he doesn't know where you live and the avio spells it out. He can't come anywhere near you
00:12It's one job. It's all I'm asking you to do. I told you I'm not doing it
00:21Perry you're out here Perry. I didn't mean it. What happened? You're my dad
00:28What?
00:29Perry Hayes
00:30You're under arrest for the murder of Carl Hayes
00:33I was talking to Rose and apparently Carl's autopsy report doesn't back up Perry's self-defense claim. Homicide are taking over the case
00:45We had another meeting with a solicitor last night. How's his defense looking? We need a miracle to keep him out of prison
00:53Hey, what are you doing? I can't do this
00:59You
01:04Where are you gonna go Perry? Huh? What's your big plan? If I tell you you'll get in trouble too. You don't have one do you?
01:10Look, if you run now, you're guilty forever. I am guilty. Not of murder
01:14You're not. You did what you had to do. A jury is not gonna believe me
01:19Just stop and think for a second
01:22You
01:27Everything okay here? Yeah. Yeah, we're just out getting some fresh air
01:33Big day tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, we're ready for a day Perry. Yeah. Yeah
01:42All right, I'll see you both tomorrow
01:47Don't stay out too late
01:52You
01:55Let's get you home, okay, come on
02:07Hey
02:08Cash hey
02:11You're here. Yeah. Yeah, that's very observant of you
02:14How?
02:15Call HQ and told him that I'm turning down the transfer and then they offered me something that I can't refuse
02:21Which is a posting at my beloved Yabby Creek
02:24So they're making room for another senior constable. Mm-hmm
02:30I'll talk with the motion you outrank me now
02:33And you're okay with that. Yeah, it means I get to stay here in Summer Bay
02:38right
02:41So anything you need me to do boss
02:44Well, you know the drill just need to prep for court tomorrow Perry's case. Yeah
02:50I'll leave you to it
03:06Can I get you anything else I'm fine. Thank you. I'll just settle the bill I
03:10I
03:15Would have thought you'd know the menu off by heart by now
03:18Just a black tea. Thanks though to take away. Uh, sure. I'll get right on to them
03:28Is it just me or yourself a bit out of sorts he's been through a lot he certainly has
03:37Thank you
03:41Hey, hey, you're on your own
03:45You okay, I'm starting to think that we really should be worried about health
03:54Was everything okay with Perry for oh, it's been a big afternoon. He's got his father's ashes
04:00Do you reckon I should go visit him? Maybe leave it for the morning. Yep, we'll do. Thanks
04:06I
04:08Thought we'll pass this
04:10But you know running is not the answer. Yeah, but it sounds better than going to prison for half my life
04:14I just think about what you'd be giving up. You'd have to disappear for good. I'm gone either way. What does it matter?
04:21It matters to me
04:23I'm sorry, I'm just gonna have to let you down or you could fight
04:28We're warriors, maybe you are but that's not me it is you Perry it's in your blood
04:33Differences to make all right, they're gonna call me a murderer. They're gonna say I'm a liar
04:39You remember when we first met I asked you about your mana. You didn't know what it meant
04:45Yeah, I still don't understand it
04:50It's the internal force that drives us to act and do what is right
04:55And you have plenty of mana. I've seen it time and time again
04:59I've seen it time and time again
05:02Like when you came back to me on your own after our very first class because you wanted to better yourself
05:08Or when you stood up to your dad and said no to that job he wants you to do
05:13And when you decided to hand yourself into the police when you could have kept hiding
05:19That's mana
05:22So don't tell me you're not a warrior because you've already proven that you are
05:29Go get some rest you're gonna need it
06:00You
06:03You
06:25It's quite annoying isn't it?
06:27Well, I'm still prepping for court tomorrow, so there's not really anything you can do
06:30In that case I can head out on patrol if that's all right with you. Uh, yeah, go keep the streets safe
06:36You got it boss
06:46Wow, look at you. How is he? Had a rough night
06:53Hmm
06:58Don't you look sharp? Yeah. Well, I hate it
07:04It's gonna be okay
07:08What hey
07:11We'll wait for you in the car, yeah
07:17Glad I caught you before you left try calling you last night. Yeah, my phone was off
07:23How you feeling?
07:25Not great
07:27Yeah, that's probably a stupid question. Yeah
07:29Do you know how long your trial is gonna take?
07:32It could be a couple days. It could just be one
07:36Honest, I don't know man. Well, if you need anything just ask
07:40I'm alright. I'm just glad someone come to see me off, you know with you stupid questions at all. Yeah, so made to fall, bro
07:48Hey, man, um
07:50You could let Tanya know I'll be a minute. Yeah, sure. My man. I'll see you soon. Yeah
08:11There's a witness I won't be able to go on with you. I know. Jane and Harper will be right by your side, okay?
08:18I've got this
08:24It's time to go in
08:30See afterwards
08:37Whatever happens you've done everything you can for him
08:41Keep it on I will I promise
08:48Oh
08:49Well, I'm pleased to hear you sticking around. Thank you, but this this whole demotion thing. It does beg the question
08:56What question? Well, how does it feel taking orders from your former junior?
08:59Oh, I've been taking orders my whole career now. She's got you taking coffee orders
09:05Ignore him here you go. And for the record, I am also very happy that you're staying. Thanks, Leo
09:11I
09:13Am John have you seen out this morning? No, I have not and I've got some surf club business to do with him, too
09:19So he hasn't been in
09:22No
09:23And the bait shop was closed, too
09:26Oh, maybe he's just having a day off. I mean, does that sound like I'll still to you
09:30You
09:36When you arrived at the residence, what did the defendant have to say for himself
09:42We didn't speak
09:44He wasn't there when I arrived
09:47The defendant had fled the scene watch yourself counsel
09:52One last question when emergency services arrived on scene. Where was the defendant's father found?
10:01In the pool and the defendant who we are meant to believe acted entirely in self-defense
10:07Did not attempt to call an ambulance or render assistance
10:11objection leading the witness
10:14No further questions, Your Honor
10:19I'd like to bring the court's attention to the apprehended violence order brought against Carl Hayes in the days leading up to his death
10:26Is this your signature?
10:28Yes, so you are aware of mr. Hayes past charges of violence and abuse
10:32Absolutely objection charges that he was acquitted of and that should have no bearing on this case
10:37The Savio was still in place at the time of Carl's death. He shouldn't have been anywhere near that house Carl Hayes
10:44He's not on trial
10:48How was Perry Holden up he's trying to hide it, but he's scared yeah, don't blame him
10:53It's good of you to go over. I'm glad I did. He doesn't have that many people in his corner
10:58What's he up to now?
11:01I don't know. Why don't you go and get our breakfast? I'm gonna have a quick chat with him
11:07G'day mate. I don't see you here for breakfast that often. And?
11:12and
11:14Nothing. Maybe I'm just looking for a bit of peace and flaming quiet for a change
11:21Righto
11:23Maybe do it
11:29Good chat
11:34Hey
11:35Hey, how'd it go? Can I have one of these? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah tough magistrate tough prosecutor. No
11:43That's very holding up. I
11:45Couldn't tell from the witness stand but considering the picture they're painting of him. Yes father was a piece of work
11:51And yet the evidence of his abuse is just not there we've got nothing concrete
11:56Some days are just like this Rose
11:59And there's good days, too
12:02It's good to have you back. Yeah, it's good to be back
12:06Hey, um, I don't suppose you got a chance to talk to Donna. I saw him on my way out. How's he coping?
12:12That as well as you think I found Perry sleeping on the beach one morning
12:17I told him to go home and did he yes, he did
12:21The next time I saw him
12:23He had cigarette burns on his arm put there by car objection here say did mr.
12:28Parata actually see this take place. I saw it afterwards and I had my own run-ins with Carl
12:34The guy had anger issues. He threatened. Did you ever actually see?
12:40Carl Hayes lay a hand on his son
12:47No
12:49Your honor if there aren't any witnesses to this alleged abuse, perhaps we should stop speculating and move on
12:55I witnessed plenty. I saw how scared Perry was of his dad. You think that's normal. Mr. Parata
13:02You found Perry after his father's death can you describe the state he was in
13:08He was in shock
13:10Keep saying his dad to try to drown him. And how long was this before he ran your honor? That's enough
13:16Yes, he ran away. Why wouldn't he? You're the ones who let him down. Perry went to the police
13:21He tried the court. None of it helped. He was protecting himself. Mr. Parata, I suggest you heed the defense counsel's advice
13:38How well do you know the defendant
13:42I'd say pretty well
13:44So you'd know if he was upset or angry or traumatized
13:51Yes, I would
13:54No further questions
13:56I'd like to raise a couple of follow-ups your honor. I'll allow it. Could you please tell the court how you and the defendant first met?
14:06He came to a youth program I was running. What did this program entail?
14:11A whole lot of things. Like martial arts?
14:15Well more than that, but yes. What more than grappling choking and restraining people?
14:20Skills that could save your life
14:23Or end someone else's. Objection. Tell me Mr. Parata
14:28Is it possible that you taught Perry Hayes just a little too well? Objection your honor. I withdraw my question
14:40You
14:49Look I'm sorry, okay. So am I. Guess you pretty much just invited them to throw your testimony out. Wait, what does that mean?
14:56It means we've got an uphill battle. I gotta make some calls
15:03Okay, you know what you guys should go and get some food we've got about a two-hour break before closing arguments
15:08Wait, we're already at their stage. Yeah, is everything okay? I don't know yet
15:13All right, let's get you fed. Can we just get out of here for a bit? Sure, sure
15:18Are you okay? No, you heard Jane. I screwed up. I heard you stick up for Perry. You told the truth
15:25That's gotta count for something
15:30I'm fine woman. Will you just stop worrying? Out. Sorry ma, but Palmer's just blown in. I'll have to call you back
15:38Hey Rata
15:40How's that Martha? How's she? Just get on with it. Will you Palmer? What do you want?
15:45Hello
15:46I'm here on official business. Actually, the surf club doesn't just stop when you're away, you know
15:51There's been some proposed changes to memberships. Well, you can deal with that. Can't you I could but this requires the president's approval
15:59Crying out loud partner. Can't you get it through your thick skull and I'm not in the mood for this
16:03Just deal with it. Isn't that what we pay you for?
16:05All right, I will
16:11Are you all right? Well, I would be if idiots like you stopped asking me that stupid flaming question, you know where the door is
16:23And I thought my testimony went badly
16:27Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you again for the update. Bye
16:32Everything all right
16:36That was Harper
16:37They've adjourned the trial for a couple of hours, but it's still not looking great
16:41right
16:42Well, I might check in with Tony. That's all right with you boss. Yeah. Yeah, of course
16:48but
16:49You need to do me a favor first. What's that?
16:51You need to cut it out with all this boss stuff. Why because it's weird coming from you
16:56Hey, have you been talking to John? No, why John seems to find the idea of us switching ranks from using
17:02And how do you feel about that? I'm fine with it. I have no problem taking orders from you. Okay, good
17:09You got a senior constable
17:20Alphas itself by himself. Yeah
17:22Dynamite just have lost their best customer. Since when does he go there? Well
17:27He may have mentioned something about wanting some peace and quiet
17:30Well, what else did he mention?
17:33To be honest, he didn't like me interrupting him. Did you run away? Yes, I did
17:38Should check in on him. Oh, look. I don't know about that. I would steer clear for today
17:43If you're talking about Al Stewart, that is solid advice. I take it you tracked him down
17:48Yeah, and got my head bitten off from a trouble not that there's anything unusual in that
17:53But it was a bit there was something what like he wasn't himself. Yeah. Yeah, exactly
17:57Good luck trying to get him to open up about it. You know, there is someone who might know what's going on
18:02Who's that? He's wife. I'm gonna give Martha a call. I
18:06Wish you'd thought of that before I went to see him
18:21Stop the car. What? What? Just stop the car
18:28Hey
18:42You should have let me run it's not over you. Yes, it is. You saw the way they looked at me. I can't fight that
18:51Never should listen to you wait period maybe just give him a minute
18:58You
19:16Where's Jane I don't know
19:19I
19:27How long will they wait
19:40I'm so sorry. Your honor your timekeeping needs a lot to be desired. Mrs. Ari. Are you ready for closing arguments actually?
19:49I've just been able to confirm my final witness. We're only hearing about this now
19:53Perhaps my learned colleague failed to check the updated witness list. I filed
19:59And if the court will allow it
20:01They're ready and willing to take the stand
20:03Today go ahead
20:05I'd like to call Kaia Hayes to the stand
20:19You
20:45Huh
20:50I
20:54Tried to protect Perry as much as I could so why did you leave I'll say that he'll kill Perry if I didn't
21:01I never wanted to leave you sir
21:04I've waited so long for this one. Get the hell away from me. I
21:08Was ready for Perry's anger, but to see the pain I've caused I love my boy. You abandoned me
21:14I don't want anything to do with you. She believed she was keeping you safe. I don't know what to believe
21:18It's tough as it's gonna be it might be worth at least having a conversation
