Dennis' empire crumbles around him while Fraser defends his friend against a pub shooting charge. Fraser's sure he can beat the charges but his biggest challenge is keeping the witnesses safe.
Following Dennis' death, Fraser represents his younger brother Victor only to find himself involved in what is still known as one of Australia's most cold-blooded crimes.
With two young constables murdered, Melbourne is turned upside down. Fraser calls publicly for calm but to many he seems to be taking the suspects' side causing animosity between him and the police.
After Victor and cohorts are charged with the police killings, Fraser builds a defence plan with his team of lawyers but has to contend with a hostile witness and starts leaning heavily on cocaine.
Following Fraser's success at the Walsh Street trial, he's now the most publicly despised yet sought after criminal defence lawyer in Australia which brings him the biggest catch of all, Alan Bond.
Fraser's coke usage is out of control. He continues to work but he can no longer hide it from his friends, colleagues and now clients, causing him a lot of strife he can't control.
