Janet King

After a young cricket player’s suicide, Janet is seconded to the National Crime Commission and tasked with uncovering the links between gambling, sport, and organized crime. After questioning a number of high-profile players, Janet realizes she has a lot to learn about the game.

The commission contends with the sudden death of their key witness, but was his death an accident, murder, or suicide? Later, a scuffle amongst players over a video leads to manslaughter, and Janet faces a surprising witness.

Tony worries that Janet’s ethical integrity may be compromised when Janet’s father, Graham, becomes a person of interest to the commission. Richard defends football player Nate on manslaughter charges, but faces obstruction from Nate’s team.

Janet and Richard discuss a deal to exchange information about Nate, but to uphold her end of the bargain, Janet needs to find the drug that Nate took. Richard discovers that the new crown prosecutor he’ll be arguing against in Nate’s trial is an old colleague.

Realizing the bottles of evidence were swapped, Janet tries to track down the missing bottle of performance enhancing drugs before it’s sold. After losing the trial, Nate fires Richard, but Richard still tries to help Nate’s wife.

When the commission’s prime suspect goes missing, Janet and her team assume she’s either guilty or dead. Richard confides in Lina about his crisis of conscience, and Graham is in the news because of new fraud allegations.

Graham stays with Janet while he recovers from his injuries, putting strain on Janet’s relationship with Bianca. Owen makes a shady deal with known criminal kingpin Darren and Janet blackmails Richard into helping the commission.

An unexpected murder shocks Janet and her team. The commission closes in on Darren, uncovering a new betting scam centered around an up-and-coming tennis star, but they need Richard’s help to seal the deal.
