00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and away
00:06Are you going to be a dad?
00:12You are going to be the best mum ever.
00:14Thanks, buddy.
00:15Now that we've told someone, it feels real.
00:17I know. Really real.
00:20It was like he recognised me.
00:21When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:23If this guy owned the car that you saw,
00:25he is probably the guy who killed mum.
00:26And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:28The man you were interviewing at the station,
00:30he looked at me like he knew me.
00:31Is he a suspect?
00:32I thought he was the owner of the Mercedes,
00:34but he wasn't.
00:35I'm guessing you remember his car at the time.
00:37Do you recall why he wanted it sold so quickly?
00:39Joe, he's got to leave.
00:41How do you know that?
00:43Because I saw his investigation paperwork
00:44when I broke into the station.
00:46You said you didn't find anything.
00:48You said you didn't want to be involved.
00:49Who is he? What's his name?
00:51Craig Wendell.
00:53Look at this.
00:55He was there, lazy.
00:56He went to mum's funeral.
00:58Look.
01:02Why would he go if he wasn't involved in some way?
01:04This has got to prove he's guilty, right?
01:15Good morning, beautiful.
01:17Oh, I'm coming.
01:20Hi.
01:21Oh, I'm coming.
01:23What?
01:25Oh, what's all this?
01:27When did you do this?
01:30I've been up for hours, babe.
01:31Have you?
01:32Aw.
01:33Sorry I'm so tired, but I am making a baby.
01:36So are you going to let me take care of you?
01:37I'm so glad that we get to spend today together.
01:41Just you, me, baby tadpaw.
01:44Baby tadpaw?
01:44Yeah.
01:45I like the sound of that.
01:47So what do you reckon we're having?
01:50Uh, I got no clue.
01:52I'm thinking a boy.
01:54No, actually, a girl.
01:56Okay.
01:56Yeah.
01:57I'm thinking a surfer?
01:58Or a doctor.
02:01Surfer doctor?
02:02Either way.
02:04Whatever we have, it's going to be perfect.
02:06Yeah, it is.
02:14No.
02:15It's work.
02:16No, it's not.
02:17Sorry, sorry.
02:18I ain't going to come in for a few hours.
02:19That's okay.
02:21At least I have all this to enjoy while you're gone.
02:23I'll make it up to you, I promise.
02:24Yeah, you will.
02:26Love you.
02:26I love you, too.
02:27Okay.
02:30Oh.
02:33Oh.
02:36Hey, Mum.
02:38Yeah, I'm just in bed having some brunch.
02:45Yeah, actually, I do have some news for you.
02:48I hate to have to point this out, but his signature is not actually evidence that he's guilty.
02:53Oh, Dad, come on.
02:54A random guy who doesn't even know Mum just rocks up to her service?
02:57Who also happened to be in the area on the day of the accident.
03:00Yeah, he obviously felt guilty.
03:02Why else would he go to her funeral?
03:03I mean, it's that or he's some kind of psycho.
03:06Girls, this is all circumstantial.
03:08None of it proves anything.
03:09Why are you doing this?
03:10Doing what?
03:12Pretending it means nothing.
03:13We're not crazy, Dad.
03:15This is something.
03:16It's real.
03:16It has to be.
03:17You still haven't told me how you found out Wendell's name.
03:22How?
03:23I took photos of your whiteboard.
03:26At the station.
03:26Well, you weren't telling me anything.
03:28What else was I supposed to do?
03:29Not break into my office for start.
03:31Okay, I didn't break in.
03:32The constable on duty let me in.
03:33That is not okay.
03:34And neither is keeping your daughters in the dark.
03:37Lacey, I have my reasons.
03:38Well, whatever your reasons are, they suck.
03:40Because it is unfair to us and it is unfair to Mum's family.
03:43Okay, all right.
03:43You let's just all stop and take a breath.
03:47All right?
03:47All right, it's a shame you're going to be by my side when I'm licking this flat.
03:53Yeah, absolutely.
03:55Hey, so how's Harper feeling?
03:57The eye is still giving her a lot of discomfort.
04:00Well, you know, I'm sure she'll appreciate you staying with her for a few nights.
04:04Yeah, I mean, I'm sure she will.
04:05You are missing the wedding after all, so.
04:06Yeah, you seem real caught up about that.
04:08Okay, what am I missing here?
04:13Quite a bit, I think.
04:20Hey.
04:21Hi.
04:21They told me upstairs you weren't coming in today.
04:24Oh, yeah, that was the plan, but here I am.
04:26And I thought you weren't due back from Marimbula for a few weeks.
04:29Well, that was the plan, but with Rue away and Palmer off to Paris,
04:33somebody's got to prepare for this committee meeting in a few days.
04:36Right.
04:37Yes, the email.
04:38I'm so sorry.
04:39I haven't replied.
04:39I've been so distracted lately.
04:41Well, a family wedding will do that, do you?
04:43That is true.
04:45Look, while I've got you, this committee meeting, let's keep it simple, eh?
04:49We don't need all the bells and whistles.
04:51Mm-hmm.
04:52Yes, that would be a nice change.
04:53Yeah, yeah, it would.
04:54So you'll keep a table aside for us?
04:55Mm-hmm.
04:56Yep.
04:57Discuss this later.
04:59He's going to go.
05:00How do you think it's okay?
05:01Hey, hey, Archie's asleep.
05:04How does he think it's okay to maim my sister
05:06and then just go and party at a wedding?
05:09Maim's a bit strong.
05:11What, you've seen the fashion accessory you're supporting?
05:13I'm trying to be positive and comments like that don't help.
05:16Sorry.
05:17If you staying here is going to be an issue for you and Sunny,
05:20then I can manage.
05:21That's not what I'm saying.
05:22Then what's the problem?
05:24He caused your injury.
05:26It was an accident.
05:28You don't need to defend my terrible boyfriend.
05:30He just wants to go to his friend's wedding.
05:32Come on.
05:33I can at least offer to stay.
05:35Yeah, but why should he miss out?
05:36I'd go in a heartbeat if I could.
05:38He obviously feels the same way.
05:39I cannot believe you're taking his side.
05:41I can't believe you're making such a big deal out of this.
05:43Sunny's not a mind reader.
05:44You can't be angry at him if you haven't told him
05:46that something's wrong.
05:50I worship the growl that that woman walks on.
05:52I really do, but sometimes being with her is exhausting.
05:56Mm-hmm.
06:00Okay, what am I missing here?
06:02Oh, I'm not getting involved.
06:03Oh, come on.
06:04Put me out of my misery.
06:05So you seriously have no idea what the issue is?
06:09No.
06:09I mean, I know she was worried about her sister,
06:11but we worked through that.
06:12At least I thought we did.
06:14It would appear to me that she's upset
06:18that you're going to the wedding without her.
06:21But she didn't say anything.
06:22But maybe she didn't think she had to.
06:27Right.
06:30Let's try to keep our cool this time, yeah?
06:32Fine by me.
06:33Sure.
06:34Lacey, just want Dad to be honest for once.
06:38I was on Wendell's trail
06:39until I was ordered to stand down by my superintendent.
06:42What? Since when?
06:43A few days ago.
06:46Why?
06:48Wendell got his lawyer involved.
06:49He claimed there was a conflict of interest.
06:51Only a guilty man needs a lawyer.
06:53So you backed off?
06:55What choice did I have?
06:57Well, you may be prepared to give up,
06:59but I'm not.
07:00We need to be smart about this.
07:02I have been smart.
07:05What does that mean?
07:08Lacey, what have you done?
07:11I called Wendell.
07:13I had no idea about this.
07:16I left a message warning him
07:18that if he didn't come clean,
07:20then I would take the story to the media.
07:22You threatened him?
07:23Yeah.
07:24I did.
07:25Which means there's only a matter of time
07:26until that man gets what he deserves.
07:28Hey, yeah.
07:39Hello.
07:40Hiya.
07:40Got you a coffee?
07:43I actually can't stay very long, though.
07:44I can't be left alone.
07:45Right.
07:46How's she doing?
07:46Yeah, pretty good, under the circumstances.
07:49Good.
07:50Good.
07:52Um, anyway, so I think I misunderstood you when-
07:55I'm sorry.
07:56Okay.
07:57Let's let you want to have a chat.
07:59It's my attitude back at the house.
08:02Yeah, good place to start, yeah.
08:03I was just feeling like you were being kind of tone-deaf
08:08when you were banging on about the wedding.
08:11Well, you've got all this stuff going on with Harper.
08:13Yeah, exactly.
08:14I get it.
08:16I do, and, uh, I'm sorry.
08:19Okay.
08:20Apology accepted.
08:22We're good.
08:25We're good?
08:27You sure?
08:28Just because I-
08:29I excel at missing signals.
08:31You know this, so if there's anything else at all
08:33you want to bring up,
08:34please don't be subtle.
08:36Okay.
08:37Um, since you're asking.
08:39Yep.
08:39You're asking?
08:40I'm asking.
08:42I was a little bummed that you were going to go
08:44to the wedding without me.
08:46But I have since spoken to Harper,
08:48and she has reminded me that that is not very fair on you.
08:53Right.
08:54So do you want me to go, or?
08:56Well, I think you should go.
08:57That's the right thing to do.
08:58That's not what I asked them.
09:00Well, I'm not going to demand that you stay here with me.
09:03That's selfish.
09:03Okay, well, if you weren't worried about being judged,
09:05then, like, what would you want me to do?
09:07Like, what would you actually-
09:08What do you want?
09:09Honestly.
09:13Words, Dana.
09:14You're good with them.
09:17I would want you to not, though.
09:22Right.
09:23That's what I thought.
09:24In what universe was that a good idea?
09:29What were you thinking?
09:30Look, at least I'm doing something.
09:32I used a fake name.
09:33He's got no idea that I'm connected to Mum.
09:35Are you sure?
09:36He's got his lawyer involved.
09:38Who knows what they're digging up?
09:39It's fine, Dad.
09:41It's so far from fine.
09:43Is there anything else we need to know?
09:45Yeah, good question.
09:47Lacey?
09:48Come on.
09:50I watched his house.
09:52For a night.
09:53What?
09:54You stalked him?
09:55Yeah.
09:55Did he see you?
09:56No.
09:57Did you approach him?
09:58No!
09:58Are you sure?
10:00If he was at the funeral, he knows what you look like.
10:03I am sure, Dad.
10:06Good.
10:07Good?
10:07Are you kidding?
10:08Is that everything?
10:11Besides the ultimatum.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Let's just be clear.
10:15What you did was blackmail.
10:17Pure and simple.
10:19Do you know how many laws you've broken this week?
10:21Stealing evidence, unlawfully entering police premises, and now extortion.
10:26And because I did all of that, we are the closest we've ever been to nailing Wendell.
10:30How do you figure?
10:31Because I'm putting pressure on him.
10:33And what's he done in response?
10:34He hasn't responded.
10:38He hasn't replied yet.
10:39Because he's probably on a plane to the other side of the world, never to be seen again.
10:44What would that mean?
10:45Would he get away with it?
10:46I don't know what would happen.
10:49Do you have any idea what you've done?
10:50You've put this entire investigation at risk.
10:55Lacey, wait.
10:56Let her go.
10:56Hey.
11:05Oh, are you still sore?
11:07Yeah.
11:09Are you doing laundry?
11:10Someone else to.
11:11Okay, well, I will do it.
11:13You know, you just relax.
11:15So how'd you go with Sunny?
11:17Oh, not great.
11:19The wedding came up and, um, he asked me to be clear about what I wanted.
11:25So were you?
11:26Yeah.
11:27I told him I didn't want him to go.
11:29That's not what we talked about.
11:31I know.
11:32I know.
11:32And I was trying to be cool about him going and having fun with his friends.
11:36And then, you know, he asked me to be honest.
11:39So then I had to be.
11:41And what did he say?
11:42Nothing.
11:43Nothing.
11:44Well, not nothing.
11:45He said he needed to think about it.
11:47Okay.
11:47I know, I know.
11:49And I think I should have lied.
11:50Because he's just, he's going to think that I'm selfish.
11:55Good to see you back on the tools.
12:01Oh, thanks.
12:02Yeah, it's good to be back.
12:04For the most part.
12:05Slow and steady.
12:06Have you actually worked in an ER before?
12:10Ignore me.
12:11But I'm here if you need.
12:13Busy day?
12:18No, it wasn't supposed to be.
12:20But that's John Palmer reminding me for the hundredth time about wedding rehearsals.
12:23He takes the celebrant duties very seriously.
12:26He certainly does.
12:27Yeah.
12:28We're not due at the venue until this afternoon.
12:29But he's already been there for several hours.
12:31Oh, are you driving out today?
12:33Yeah, just the bridal party.
12:34We're staying there overnight.
12:35Oh.
12:35I'm sorry to hear that you won't be joining us for the wedding.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Look, I think it's for the best.
12:43It's important to put distance between Romy and I.
12:46No, I get it.
12:47But you'll be missed.
12:49That's what Eden said.
12:51But you know what?
12:52Come this time tomorrow, I am going to have one serious case of FOMO.
12:56Tomorrow?
12:56Oh my gosh.
12:57Eden is getting married tomorrow.
12:59That is so surreal.
13:01I bet.
13:01It wasn't that long ago she couldn't stand the sight of me and now I'm walking her down the aisle.
13:11Tav.
13:12Have a good day.
13:13You too.
13:13See ya.
13:14Let's hide under the sheets.
13:18Quietly to feel your breath on my skin.
13:25I can't.
13:25Look what we've started.
13:28Can you feel it just like me?
13:33It's started.
13:36Don't know where we'll end up but my heart is yours right now.
13:47This isn't so bad, is it, buddy?
13:57It's a wedding.
13:58Not me.
13:59This is going to be drunk bridesmaids and a very boring best man speech.
14:03Pretty harsh on Tana.
14:05Hey, what are you doing here?
14:07I just wondered if I could crash with you guys for a couple of days.
14:10It works for me.
14:11You want to go into the wedding?
14:13Nope.
14:14Why?
14:14It's my wedding suit, you know.
14:16I just look too hot in it.
14:19Why is that a problem?
14:21You know, I just didn't want to outdo the groom and, you know, I figured I'd be batting off
14:25the ladies with the sticks.
14:27Yeah.
14:28It'd be pretty tiring, I guess.
14:29Yeah, really tiring.
14:31No, genuinely, you're my priority and I want to be there for you when you're near me.
14:37That is so nice, isn't it?
14:42And also, it's really good timing that you're here because Mr. Archie needs a little mappy
14:48change.
14:49Oh, right.
14:50Good, son.
14:53It's part of the terms and conditions are staying, isn't it, Hapa?
14:55Absolutely.
14:58Change table through there, boys.
15:00Gotcha.
15:00Let's go, buddy.
15:02Let's clean you up.
15:03Look what we've started
15:15Don't know where we'll end up
15:19But my heart is
15:23Yours
15:24Right now
15:27I am so glad it's you
15:31Oh, were you expecting someone else?
15:33Yeah, John Palmer.
15:34Wedding rehearsal stuff.
15:36Anyway, you all good?
15:37Yeah, well, I threw up this morning.
15:39I'm not sure if it's something I ate or I don't know.
15:42How are you feeling now?
15:43Good.
15:44Great, actually.
15:46But I have a confession to make.
15:48Go on.
15:49I told Mum about the baby.
15:51I hope that's okay.
15:52Of course it's okay.
15:53Really?
15:54Well, that was easier than I thought.
15:55You can tell whoever you want.
15:57Same goes for you.
15:58Really?
15:59What happened to hunting down whoever spilled the beans?
16:01Well, I mean, there are beans to spill, aren't they?
16:03And Mum was really happy for us.
16:05She even carried over a gift.
16:06Really?
16:07Mm-hmm.
16:08It's a pregnancy journal.
16:10That'll keep you busy for the next nine months.
16:12I know.
16:12I mean, I've already started to fill it in.
16:14I bet you have.
16:15Hey, I'd better get back to it, but I'll see you later.
16:19Okay.
16:20Bye.
16:25What?
16:26Should I hear something about nine months?
16:29Maybe.
16:32Congratulations.
16:32That is amazing.
16:35Thank you, Prue.
16:36But we're keeping it on the hush-hush for now.
16:37Oh, yes.
16:37Of course.
16:38Of course.
16:38So happy for you and Mac.
16:39Yeah, it's pretty great.
16:41Oh, yeah, it's pretty great.
16:42Well, yeah.
16:43I get to be a dad.
16:45And I get to share that with Mac.
16:46I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet.
16:47Oh.
16:48Oh.
16:49Oh.
17:06Oh.
17:06Oh.
17:07Come on, call me back.
17:17I'm not doing this again. I'm done arguing, Dad.
17:21So am I.
17:23Which is why I need you to promise me you'll stop going rogue on this.
17:27I know what I'm doing.
17:29You're outside his house, alone.
17:32What if he'd seen you?
17:34Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?
17:37I hired a car.
17:39There was not one person that saw me. I was completely safe.
17:43You don't know that.
17:44Well, I'm not okay with just letting this go like you seem to be.
17:47That's not fair, Lacey.
17:49And what's not fair about that?
17:51Your boss just wraps you over the knuckles and you just throw on the towel?
17:56God forbid us all, we break one rule.
17:59There has not been one minute where I have not been investigating this case.
18:05I don't want to hear it.
18:06And I've kept it from you because you're my daughter and I'm trying to keep you out of trouble.
18:14There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe.
18:17So no more secrets.
18:22Okay?
18:24I need you to make that deal.
18:26You have to agree to that as well.
18:30Okay, that's fair.
18:32Just remember, we have no idea what Wendell is capable of.
18:44So you need to stay away from him and let me handle this.
18:57What's going on?
18:58Still no word from Wendell.
19:01Lacey's agreed, but putting any more pressure on Wendell is just too risky.
19:06Isn't that right?
19:07And you're 100% on board with this?
19:09Yes.
19:10But only because Dad promised to keep us in the loop in the investigation.
19:13I thought you were ordered to back off on that.
19:15I was ordered, but I'm taking matters into my own hands.
19:18And no one can find out about that.
19:20Understood?
19:21No one.
19:24Are you sure this is the right thing to do?
19:26No, I'm not sure, but no one else is going to fight for this.
19:29Alright.
19:30As long as you're careful.
19:33At least now we're all on the same page.
19:37Took us a while.
19:39I've got to head off.
19:42Are we all good?
19:43We're good, Dad.
19:44Alright, I need to go to work as well.
19:45Hey, hang on.
19:46I need to talk to you for a second.
19:47What now?
19:48I need you to go back to hypnotherapy.
19:49I am, I have another appointment booked.
19:50How soon?
19:51A few weeks.
19:52No, that's not going to cut it.
19:53We need answers now.
19:54I thought you just agreed to let Dad handle it.
19:55I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell, but that doesn't mean that me and you can't
19:56take matters into our own hands.
19:57Look, if you keep doing this, imagine how much you'll remember.
19:58Okay.
19:59Okay.
20:00A few weeks?
20:02No, that's not gonna cut it.
20:03We need answers now.
20:04Well, I thought you just agreed to let Dad handle it.
20:06I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell,
20:08but that doesn't mean that me and you
20:09can't take matters into our own hands.
20:12Look, if you keep doing this,
20:15imagine how much you'll remember.
20:28You'll never believe it.
20:29They let me out.
20:31Babe?
20:32How'd you go with that pregnancy journal?
20:34Leave enough pages for the next nine months?
20:40Hey.
20:42What's the matter?
20:45I'm bleeding.
20:56This is really happening, isn't it?
20:58It looks like it.
21:00Hey, what's going on?
21:02I think I'm losing the baby.
21:04I'll go to the wedding.
21:10I'm gonna call Eden right now and tell her that we can't make it.
21:12No, no, no.
21:13You have to go.
21:14I can't just leave you.
21:15Just leave you.
21:16Hey.
21:16It's fine.
21:17I'm gonna be all right.
21:18Hey.
21:18It's fine.
21:19I'm gonna be all right.
21:20I'm gone.
21:21Bye.
21:24It's fine.
21:26I'm gonna need to know when you are gold.
21:29It's fine.
