00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way.
00:10Hey Jo, it's me. I made cash in Eden's wedding and...
00:13I don't know, it's got me thinking I guess.
00:16Would it be nice if you were here?
00:17Theo! Theo, where is he? Where is he?
00:24Wendell admitted to me that he was the driver that forced Jo off the road.
00:29He killed Mum.
00:30Tell me what happened next.
00:34He came at me.
00:35With his car.
00:36Lacey!
00:38Theo pushed me out of the way.
00:40He saved my life.
00:42I just want to explain.
00:44I don't care what you have to say.
00:46You were trouble from the moment Theo laid eyes on you.
00:49You are selfish and reckless and that's why you died.
00:53You know what? How do we even know that he's dead?
00:55What are you talking about?
00:56You never saw who was in the body bag.
00:58How can I be sure that it's him unless I see for myself I need to see him?
01:09Hey! Did you just finish too? How's your night?
01:12Great, actually I really enjoy doing night shifts.
01:14Said no one ever.
01:16So what are you up to today?
01:17Uh, well post night shift surf is done so I'm going to spend the rest of the day writing up a proposal on hospital safety protocols.
01:24Does that mean you're getting somewhere with the crusade?
01:26Well admin, I've just had no luck with them.
01:28So your proposal?
01:30I'm going over the heads and taking it straight to the medical board in the city.
01:33Let me know if I can help with anything.
01:36Thanks, I will.
01:37See you later.
01:38See ya. Bye!
01:39Yeah, I know. I was just panicking. It's all good.
01:56The weeping means that it's healing.
01:58Really? How bad?
02:03Archie spewed on Sonny.
02:05Oh.
02:07Okay, alright. I'll see you soon. Bye.
02:12You want me to go get them?
02:13Yeah, if you don't mind.
02:14Yeah, of course not.
02:15Uh, Dana said that they're at the surf club.
02:17Are you going to get that?
02:30I'll call back later.
02:32Okay.
02:47Why don't you take a seat?
02:54I can't.
02:58What Leah said was unfair.
03:00You need to put it out of your mind.
03:04She's right.
03:08Lacey, she's grieving and lashing out.
03:10No, no. I did it, Dad.
03:12I dragged Theo away from his friend's wedding and I put him in danger.
03:16You are not to blame for this.
03:18Well, Leah thinks I am.
03:19And you should too.
03:21Everyone should.
03:22It is my fault that he is gone.
03:29Lacey was there. She saw it happen.
03:31Am I supposed to take her word for it?
03:33I need to see Theo.
03:35Okay, okay.
03:36But we don't even know where they've taken him.
03:38I'll go to the police station. I'll find out.
03:40You can't just front up there making demands.
03:42Please.
03:44Please, Justin.
03:45I have to be sure.
03:46Then let me speak to David first.
03:48See what I can find out.
03:53Please.
03:54Please.
03:55You call me if you need anything.
04:04You call me if you need anything.
04:34Sorry Justin, but there's a process that needs to be followed.
04:55No one can see until a coroner releases his body.
05:00I'll update you when I can.
05:03I'm sorry about that.
05:06Don't be.
05:08Hey, I won't let you go down this road.
05:12You are not responsible.
05:15Wendell was a no-show at work.
05:17Okay.
05:18Don't worry, we'll find him.
05:22Listen, I need to work, but I don't want to leave you alone.
05:26Why don't I ring your sister?
05:33Well, this is lucky.
05:46Now we can stop the phone tag.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Sorry I missed your call before.
05:52Oh, no, I was just calling you back after you called me yesterday.
05:56Oh, you didn't have to do that.
05:57It wasn't anything important.
05:59It sounded like you wanted to talk.
06:02Well, no.
06:05I mean, yeah.
06:08I was drinking champagne.
06:09It probably had more than I thought.
06:12Yeah, right.
06:13But you do remember leaving me a message?
06:15Oh, it was nothing.
06:16Just forget about it.
06:17Nothing?
06:18Okay.
06:19Hey, Joe.
06:20It's me.
06:21Just checking in.
06:22I made cash in Eden's wedding and, um, I don't know, it just got me thinking, I guess.
06:33Would have been nice if you were here.
06:36Anyway, um, that's all I wanted to say.
06:40That doesn't sound like nothing to me.
06:44I'll let you get that.
06:46Oh, just my dad.
06:47I can call him back.
06:48Well, it might be important.
06:49You should get it.
06:50More important than this?
06:51I need to run and get Archie anyway.
06:53You can run, but you can't hide.
07:01Hey, Dad.
07:02What's up?
07:07I can't believe it.
07:09No.
07:10Sorry, Brie.
07:11I didn't mean to dump that on you.
07:12I just thought everyone knew.
07:13I was working the night shift, so I, I mean, I haven't actually seen anyone yet.
07:19Where's Lacey?
07:20Is she okay?
07:21Yeah, she's, uh, she's with her family.
07:24Okay.
07:25How's Leah coping?
07:27Well, that's why I asked you to come here.
07:30A little something for you, darling.
07:32Can you?
07:33Thank you, Mo.
07:35Can I get you something for you?
07:36Um, no, I'm fine.
07:38Okay, thank you.
07:39I made you some meals.
07:40I'm gonna drop them over later.
07:41Appreciate it.
07:42Appreciate that.
07:47Leah's all over the place.
07:48That's understandable.
07:49Yeah, but I can't help but feel like I've been here before.
07:52You know, one minute she's clinging to me and the next minute, I'm the enemy.
07:58Like, I'm really worried here.
08:00Okay.
08:02Please, could you come and tell me what you think?
08:05Of course.
08:06Yeah.
08:12Give us a sip.
08:13If she's asleep, then don't wake her.
08:15I can always come back.
08:16Sure.
08:22Leah?
08:26Leah?
08:27She's not there.
08:30Leah?
08:31I'm...
08:40Justin?
08:52Hey.
08:54Mama can see her gorgeous boy with both eyes again.
08:58Yeah.
08:59You know what that means?
09:00Hey.
09:01That means a peek-a-boo.
09:03A peek-a-boo.
09:04Yeah.
09:06Maybe Dad wants to play too.
09:08Hey.
09:10Hey, are you with us?
09:13Sorry, what did you say?
09:14You're a million miles away.
09:15What's going on?
09:16Oh, sorry.
09:18I...
09:19Drunk-dialed Joe.
09:20Drunk-dialed Joe.
09:22And I'm guessing it didn't go very well?
09:24She didn't answer.
09:25Lifted message.
09:27Hmm.
09:29Of a romantic nature.
09:31When was that?
09:32Yesterday.
09:34Wait, so you drunk-dialed Joe from the wedding?
09:36Yeah.
09:38Then you're lying.
09:39No.
09:40She's got the voicemail.
09:42I'm not saying you didn't call her.
09:43I'm saying you weren't drunk.
09:45You weren't even there.
09:47You drove Remy and Abigail home and I saw you when you came in.
09:50You weren't drunk.
09:52So don't blame the champagne.
09:53Just admit it.
09:55But what?
09:56Well, you called her because you wanted to.
09:58It's still working though.
09:59Yeah, I'm covering for Leah.
10:00Yeah, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you closed the place down for the day.
10:13I can do it.
10:14I just don't want her to have to worry about anything right now.
10:17Well, good for you.
10:19But if it gets too much, just sing out, eh?
10:21Yeah, I will.
10:22Hey.
10:23Either of you seen Leah?
10:24Well, not since we left your joint.
10:25Why, what's happened?
10:26When I got home from here, she wasn't there.
10:28Have you tried ringing her?
10:29Yeah, she left her phone at home.
10:31Right, I'll give you a hand to find her.
10:33Right, thanks mate.
10:34Bree's already out there looking.
10:36Sing out if she shows up here, Merriman.
10:37Yeah, I will.
10:42He confessed, Joe.
10:44He looked me in the eye and he told me that he did it.
10:51Okay.
10:52We'll talk about that later.
10:54Let's just get you out of here.
10:56Yeah?
10:57Let's go for a walk.
10:58Come on.
11:00Call me if you need anything.
11:01You have to find him, Dad.
11:03Please find him.
11:04You don't know when to quit, do you?
11:05Haven't you done enough damage?
11:08Alright, let's go.
11:09Come on.
11:14Leah.
11:16I understand you're upset.
11:17But you need to stop taking it out of my daughter.
11:21Or what?
11:22I don't know if I'm the only one in my daughter as me.
11:23Leah's just upset.
11:26You know that, right?
11:29She loved Theo.
11:31I get it.
11:33I loved him too.
11:34No, no, you did.
11:35I told him that.
11:39Over and over again when he was just lying there.
11:46I just kept on begging him to keep breathing.
11:48I don't even know how long I was there for.
11:55He held his head in my lap.
11:59He just kissed me.
12:01Told him how much I loved him.
12:05You were there for him when he needed you the most.
12:08What he needed was to never have met me.
12:09No, you can't think like that.
12:11He'd still be alive.
12:14And I know what it's like to feel responsible for the death of someone you love.
12:18I don't just feel responsible.
12:22I am responsible.
12:24And now Theo's gone.
12:27And I've got to live with that.
12:29Come here.
12:30Come here.
12:37I'm sorry, but the coroner is not going to let you see him.
12:40There are protocols that need to be followed.
12:42And I should just take your word for it.
12:43You're probably just covering up Lacey's part in all of this.
12:46Why don't you just stop carrying on like this in here?
12:48You know who should be arrested?
12:50Your daughter.
12:51For what?
12:52I don't know. Accessory to murder.
12:53That's ridiculous.
12:55Theo is dead because of her.
12:57She can't just get away with it.
12:58You think this is easy?
12:59I think you are being biased.
13:01Leah.
13:03The man who killed Theo is the same man who killed my wife.
13:09You and I, we're on the same side.
13:11Then please.
13:12Please, can you help me?
13:13I need to see Theo.
13:15I just need to know it's him.
13:18Theo's mother has already ID'd the body.
13:21I'm sorry.
13:22It's him.
13:23No question.
13:27Sorry to interrupt.
13:28Justin Morgan's here.
13:30There you are.
13:31What are you doing here?
13:32I've been looking for you.
13:33Are you alright?
13:34No, I'm not.
13:35I want to see Theo.
13:36I don't know how many ways I can say it.
13:39It's not possible.
13:40Not until his body is officially released.
13:42I'm his auntie.
13:43I'm family.
13:45Yes.
13:46Not his next of kin.
13:47It's just a given that the parent is next of kin.
13:59But I was the one who looked after him.
14:01Tried to.
14:02Leah.
14:03Hi.
14:04I heard about Theo and I'm so sorry.
14:16Thanks.
14:18I was about to head out for a walk.
14:19Did you want to join?
14:20Yes.
14:21She would love that.
14:22Justin.
14:23I think this would be good for you.
14:28Maybe I'll see you back at home, alright?
14:31Sure.
14:44Where was she?
14:45At the police station.
14:47Doing what?
14:49Demanding to see Theo.
14:57How am I going to get her through this?
15:02What about you?
15:05I just want her to be okay.
15:07Mate, I get that you want to look after her, but you've lost someone too.
15:16Hasn't really hit me.
15:18Well, not yet.
15:19Anyway.
15:22When it does, I'm around.
15:24I think I was just clinging to the slightest glimmer of hope.
15:33Yeah, you didn't want it to be true.
15:36No.
15:38But it is.
15:41He's really gone.
15:43Yeah.
15:44He is.
15:45And I can't imagine what knowing that must feel like.
15:49So, if you need help or if things start to get too much, promise that you'll tell me.
15:56Too much?
15:58Dustin spoke to you, didn't he?
16:00He's just worried.
16:02Given your history, he thinks I'm going to have another breakdown.
16:04No.
16:05He's worried.
16:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
16:07This is, this is different.
16:10I'm not delusional.
16:12My nephew just died and I'm sad.
16:15Of course you are.
16:17And you know what else I am?
16:19I'm angry.
16:21At Lisa?
16:22Yes.
16:24But mostly at Theo.
16:27I told him I begged him not to go and he just followed her and now he's dead.
16:32And I just want to scream at him for being so stupid.
16:41How awful does that make me?
16:44Check every car park.
16:46Check the local railway stations.
16:48Maybe he dumped his car and left town.
16:50Saj, we're already doing all that.
16:51Well, you're not doing enough!
16:58Someone has to have seen him.
17:00He can't have just disappeared into thin air.
17:03Yes, Saj.
17:05Did you find Wendell?
17:07Not yet.
17:08We've got an alert on his credit cards, his bank account, his passport.
17:12We're watching all the roads.
17:14He won't be able to make a move without us knowing.
17:17Okay, good.
17:18We're just here to grab Lacey's bag.
17:20I'm going to take her back to our house for tonight.
17:22Are you okay with that?
17:23Of course.
17:32You okay?
17:34Do you need a minute?
17:35Yeah, actually, a minute would be great.
17:39Why don't you go grab some food?
17:41I'll take Lacey home.
17:42We'll see you there later.
17:44Okay.
17:45Thanks, Dad.
17:51You sure you should be outside in the sun?
17:52Yeah, it's fine, Tanya.
17:54You heard the ophthalmologist.
17:55As long as I wear sunnies, I can be outside.
17:58What?
18:02Nothing.
18:03Talk to her.
18:05Oh, I'm not going to ditch you and Archie.
18:06Well, you're not.
18:07We're ditching you.
18:08But-
18:09Talk to her!
18:14Hello?
18:15Hi.
18:16Hi.
18:20So about running off before-
18:22I owe you an explanation.
18:24Can we do this another time?
18:26I'm sorry if I was rude or-
18:28No.
18:29It's not about you.
18:31What's it about then?
18:35Maybe I can help.
18:39Lacey's boyfriend died.
18:45Hey.
18:53You okay?
18:55I'm just exhausted.
18:56I might just lie down.
18:58Thanks.
18:59Anytime.
19:00Thanks.
19:02I'll call out if you need anything.
19:04I'll be right here.
19:10Is she okay?
19:12No.
19:13Hey, I know that you're worried and you're trying to-
19:16Make sense of all of this.
19:18But I really don't think that Leah's having a breakdown.
19:20I think she's just really sad about the loss.
19:26Okay.
19:27Good.
19:29It's-
19:30This is really hard to know what to do.
19:32Then ask for help.
19:33You know, reach out to your friends when you need to.
19:36Nice.
19:38Thanks so much for doing this.
19:39That's okay.
19:40That's what friends are for.
19:41Hm.
19:44Hey, has anyone let Remy know about Theo yet?
19:51I should get onto that.
19:54I can tell Remy.
19:57She must be devastated.
19:59Yeah, she is.
20:03I just can't believe he's gone.
20:04How are you holding up?
20:05I don't know.
20:06I don't know if I should feel guilty about the hypnotherapy session or glad that I can be there for my sister.
20:20Or just sad about Theo.
20:21It's okay.
20:22It's okay.
20:23You feel how you feel.
20:26And if what you say is true and this guy's confessed to Lacey about what he's done, then Dad's going to get him, right?
20:33Yeah.
20:35He's finally going to pay for what he did.
20:37Which is good.
20:39And now I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't do it. I didn't cause Mum's death.
20:47Then you have every right to feel relieved.
20:51You don't think I'm terrible for feeling that way?
20:56No.
20:58I don't think you're terrible at all.
20:59I don't really know how you're feeling.
21:11Well, I'm sad too, obviously. But, you know, I've had my moment and now I just want to keep moving forward and keep busy.
21:18It's only been a couple of days.
21:19I know how many days it's been, Molly.
21:23I want you to acknowledge that we lost our baby.
21:26And what would that achieve? Hmm? Sitting around and wallowing?
21:28No. No, thank you. I'm going to work. And honestly, I think you should do the same.
21:32Levi, seriously?
21:34Well, Meg's not doing great with me here. I think this is for the best.
