00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and no way
00:08Leo!
00:09Leo, where is he?
00:10Where is he?
00:14Leo, I just want to explain.
00:16I don't care what you have to say.
00:18You were trouble from the moment Theo laid eyes on you.
00:21You are selfish and reckless and that's why he's died.
00:25I want you to acknowledge that we lost our baby.
00:30And what would that achieve?
00:31She's got this wall up and I just can't seem to break through it.
00:34Oh, she's protecting herself.
00:35You're blocking me out.
00:36I would hate to see you and Levi fall apart over this.
00:39We are not falling apart over this.
00:40He's at his work, I'm at mine.
00:41We're just getting on with our lives.
00:44It's okay to still feel sad about what you're going through.
00:47I was barely pregnant.
00:48Ali, my baby didn't grow.
00:50Is that really enough to mourn?
00:52Ziggy and Dean are going to need help with a new baby,
00:54which means I can have quality time with Izzy.
00:56We're going to Queensland.
00:57The cheap fare's popped up for this afternoon.
00:59I'm going to grab it.
01:00Are you leaving today?
01:01Carpe diem.
01:02Levi, give me a call when you get this.
01:05Mac's about to make a bad mistake.
01:12The amount of looking at water is going to make me feel better.
01:15Don't have to stay out for long.
01:19Change of scenery might help.
01:21I just feel like someone's thrown a big, heavy blanket over me.
01:28Let me just go home and hide under it.
01:33Morning.
01:34Hey mate.
01:36It's good to see you out and about.
01:38Wish I felt the same.
01:41Have you heard anything from the police?
01:43Have they caught the driver yet?
01:45As far as we know, still on the run.
01:48I'm a mongrel.
01:49You said it.
01:51Now that I'm out, I'm just going to go and check in on the dyno.
01:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:55Marilyn's got everything under control.
01:56If you want to be out of the house, I'm just going to stick my head in.
01:59Hey Luke, can you chase up the magistrate?
02:10I want that warrant for Wendell's office.
02:13Answer's my first question, you still haven't found him.
02:16Wendell's gone on the ground.
02:17There's been no activity on his phone or his bank accounts
02:20and he hasn't been picked up on CCTV anywhere.
02:23How do we know he hasn't left the country?
02:25We put a block on his passport so we know he's still in the country.
02:30Maybe just not in the state.
02:32At this stage we're just following every lead we can, hoping for the best.
02:37Yeah.
02:40How's Leah?
02:43It's not good.
02:45How's Lacey holding up?
02:47She's doing it tough.
02:50What was Lacey thinking?
02:52What did she think she was going to achieve?
02:58I should get on with it.
03:00I'll let you know as soon as there's an update.
03:10Cheers.
03:15Eden!
03:18Eden, wake up!
03:19Eden, come on, get out of bed, it's our last day.
03:24Oh, I don't want to get up.
03:26Are you sure?
03:27There's a surprise.
03:29Yes, because then we could do whatever you have planned.
03:33And then the honeymoon will be over.
03:36I don't suit yourself, but I've got champagne.
03:40Okay, fine.
03:42I need a kiss first.
03:45Deal.
03:46Mmm, you got the fancy stuff.
03:49Mmm, I wish I could take credit for that.
03:51What do you mean?
03:53There's a card.
03:55Mmm.
03:57Here.
03:58Okay.
04:03It's from Dad.
04:05Dear Aiden, thanks for including me in your special day.
04:07All my love, Dad.
04:11That's really sweet.
04:13I'm really glad that he was there in the end.
04:16Yeah, and the family's talking again, so that's a positive outcome.
04:19Yeah, it is.
04:21It's not the only one.
04:24So, after breakfast, what are we going to do?
04:26It's the last day.
04:27Are we going to stay in the room?
04:32I got us tickets to the Police and Justice Museum.
04:38I'm kidding.
04:39I know my wife better.
04:41Yeah, you'd better.
04:43Cheers.
04:44Cheers.
04:45Who is she?
04:50Packing.
04:51She's already booked a flight to Queensland.
04:53Seriously?
04:55Yep.
04:57And I booked a non-refundable ticket, so don't even try and talk me out of it.
05:01I'm going to go out the back and work on a board.
05:04I'll leave you guys to it.
05:06Thank you for dobbing me in.
05:08I'm worried about you.
05:10I won't apologise for it.
05:12You're not the only one, Mac.
05:17Ziggy and Dean have just had a baby.
05:20They need help.
05:22So, it is Aunty Mac to the rescue.
05:24Mac, that is the last thing you need right now.
05:27I'm not asking your permission, Levi.
05:30So, were you going to talk to me about this at all before you left, or were you just going to disappear?
05:34Well, you're here now, and you know what's happening. I'm going.
05:37That's that.
05:41Thanks.
05:43I'm sorry I snubbed at you when you came to visit.
05:50Things are just difficult at that moment.
05:53Don't give it another thought, no?
05:56It's just all over the shop.
05:59Oh, sweetheart, of course you are.
06:01No one expects you to have it all together.
06:04Are you sleeping?
06:06No.
06:08No, not really.
06:10I drifted off last night, and...
06:14I just had the awful dream.
06:17I just hear Theo calling out to me, and...
06:21I couldn't see him.
06:22I couldn't help him.
06:24I'm so sorry.
06:25Hey.
06:29Hey.
06:31Any update from the police?
06:33Not yet, unfortunately.
06:35I can't believe that bloke's still out there.
06:38The police are doing all they can.
06:40Oh, not enough, really.
06:44Well, how about we get to home, eh?
06:45We'll get you home, eh?
07:00You're seriously going for a run?
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:03Yeah, I want to check this place out.
07:05You can always come with me, you know?
07:06Have you met me?
07:07Besides, oh, I don't have the right clothes.
07:09Well, we could go shopping and get you started tomorrow.
07:11I don't remember any part of my vows, or yours,
07:14about me taking out running.
07:21So you're just going to hang here and drink coffee?
07:23Oh, yeah. That is the plan.
07:25Alrighty, Tarzan.
07:26Better get going.
07:27Don't want to let yourself go now that we're married.
07:29Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:40Hey!
07:42Eyes off! He's mine.
07:59Are you hungry?
08:05Sorry?
08:07Want me to make you something?
08:09Maybe I could heat up one of those meals Maz brought over?
08:13No, it's okay.
08:14I can't really stomach anything at the moment.
08:18Sunny left a really lovely message.
08:20You want to listen to that?
08:21No.
08:23Sorry.
08:24No offence to Sunny or anyone else.
08:26I know they're trying to be nice.
08:34I'll get it.
08:38Cassandra.
08:46I'm so sorry.
08:50How are you holding up?
08:54Missing my boy.
08:56I miss him too.
08:58Come on.
08:59Come in.
09:02Hey.
09:07I'm so sorry.
09:11You're a great kid.
09:14Thanks.
09:15I'm so sorry I should just come and collect these things.
09:23Sorry?
09:25Theo's belongings.
09:27I can't expect you guys to keep them here.
09:30But they're not.
09:32He got rid of them.
09:34Theo's things are at his place.
09:36What are you talking about? I thought that he lived here.
09:38Theo.
09:39He moved out.
09:42When?
09:44Theo hasn't lived here for months now.
09:48What?
09:49Why didn't you tell me?
09:50Does Dean know about the miscarriage?
10:02Does he even know we've been doing IVIA?
10:06No, he doesn't.
10:08And you don't think that's relevant information given the circumstances?
10:11No, I don't.
10:13I want to avoid the pity eyes, which is exactly what I'm getting from you right now.
10:17It's not pity.
10:19Why did we have to tell everyone I was pregnant?
10:21I should have known it was too good to be true.
10:26I'll take care of letting people know. You don't have to tell them anything.
10:30You're right, I don't.
10:33I'm going to be in Queensland, very far away from it all.
10:36I'm not ready to go home.
10:50Oh, let's just stay here.
10:52I've got a job and friends.
10:54That's overrated.
10:56Stick with me and I'll show you what life is called.
10:58Sticking with you is a given.
11:00Trapped forever.
11:01Trapped happily.
11:02Oh, married life suits me way too much.
11:08Yeah, I guess we could start making some decisions about what that looks like.
11:12What, about married life?
11:13Yeah, I mean, where are we going to live?
11:15I know you don't want to live with Tanya Harper and Archie.
11:18Ooh, yeah. Nah, I can't see you sharing a house with Remy.
11:22Nope.
11:23We're going to have to find our own place.
11:25Start looking when we go home.
11:28Back to Summer Bay.
11:30Back to married life.
11:33I can't wait.
11:34I can't wait.
11:40I had some idea about this girl, Lacey, but I...
11:44I didn't know it was serious.
11:46I'm sorry.
11:48We thought you were across this.
11:51He didn't tell me that they were living together.
11:53Maybe he didn't want to worry you.
11:56Or why would I worry they were happily in love by the sounds of it?
11:59It was a, um, complicated situation when Theo and Lacey first got together.
12:09What?
12:11Well, you know how he had that accident where the car fell on him.
12:16What's that got to do with this girl?
12:17Lacey is the reason that happened.
12:20Lacey and her boyfriend at the time were involved in illegal car racing.
12:25Yeah, and they dragged Theo into it and it got out of control and he ended up in a hospital.
12:31And you didn't think to pick up the phone and tell me about this?
12:35Cass, Theo's an adult.
12:36It's, it's not, it's not for us to make announcements for him.
12:42Maybe Theo didn't want to say anything because he didn't want you to think badly of Lacey, but it's her fault.
12:52She is the reason Theo is dead.
12:56What do you mean? You said that it was a hit and run?
12:58No, Theo never should have been there.
13:00Lacey dragged him into something that's happening with her own family.
13:03I'm really struggling to get my head around this.
13:06Okay, if you want some answers, you need to go and talk to Lacey's father.
13:11Whoa, is that a good idea?
13:13How do I do that? How do I get in touch with him?
13:15Well, he's the local police sergeant. I'll take you there right now.
13:18There you are.
13:19Cassandra deserves to know the truth.
13:34Welcome home, Mrs. Newman.
13:37Thank you, Mr. Fowler.
13:42This isn't exactly the, uh, welcome party I was expecting.
13:45No.
13:46Oi, Ram, you here?
13:49Ram!
13:51Dude, get out here, we're home!
13:54Ram, you here?
13:57Where is he?
13:59Could be a hint.
14:00I don't believe it.
14:01Oh no, what's he done now?
14:03He's, he's moved out.
14:05What?
14:06He said he's letting us have this place all to ourselves.
14:08And he has paid rent for the rest of the year.
14:10As a wedding present.
14:12It's better than a toaster.
14:14Yeah, but...
14:16Where's Remy gone?
14:17What's he doing?
14:18Poor Leah.
14:19She looks exhausted.
14:20I wish there was something I could do to help.
14:21Well, you're keeping this place running.
14:22That must be a huge weight off her shoulders.
14:23I just can't believe I'm ever going to see Pio again.
14:24Oh.
14:25Come on guys, you don't have to do this.
14:26Oh.
14:27Come on guys, you don't have to do this.
14:28I don't have to do this.
14:29I don't have to do this.
14:30I don't have to do this.
14:31I don't have to do this.
14:32I don't have to do this.
14:33It's better than a toaster.
14:34Yeah, but...
14:35Where's Remy gone?
14:36What's he doing?
14:37Poor Leah.
14:38She looks exhausted.
14:39I wish there was something I could do to help.
14:41I just can't believe I'm ever going to see Pio again.
14:52Come on guys, you don't have to do that.
14:54You know, if you're talking about me and Leah or Theo, it's okay.
15:02We were just worried about how Leah was, that's all.
15:05Yeah, me too.
15:06Especially now.
15:07So, Theo's mum, Cassandra, just turned on.
15:11It's true.
15:12That must be difficult for everyone.
15:14Well, Leah's taken her down to the police station to talk to David.
15:19Well, I'm sure the Sarge will handle it.
15:23Darling, do you have any news about the funeral arrangements?
15:27Because people have been asking.
15:28Yeah, I know I got a message from Sonny who's keen to know the arrangements as well.
15:32Will it be here in the bay?
15:34I'm assuming it's going to be in the city.
15:36I'll talk through it with his mum.
15:40And then I'll let you know.
15:47What would you like to know?
15:49Could you please tell Cassandra what Theo was doing the night he was run over?
15:54I feel like there's so much that I don't know about what happened to my son. Leah said his girlfriend was involved.
16:01Lacey Miller was on her way to confront an alleged criminal and she asked Theo to go with her for safety.
16:08And why did she want to confront this criminal?
16:12The driver who struck your son is the same man that killed my wife.
16:17That's why Lacey was after him.
16:20I didn't know any of this.
16:23Lacey got Theo killed. That's what you meant to say, right?
16:28Cassandra, Theo was a fine young man.
16:35He saved my daughter's life.
16:38Now, I know it's probably cold comfort right now, but your son died a hero.
16:43Are you kidding me? He shouldn't have died at all.
16:46Leah, would you mind? I need to speak to the sergeant alone.
16:52Cassandra.
16:53Please.
16:54Remy says not to worry about him and that he's fine.
17:11No word on where he'll be living.
17:13Just that he'll be back soon and we'll catch up then.
17:17Okay. Look, is it too much?
17:20Can we accept? Are we taking advantage?
17:22I mean, it's not just about the money.
17:24I don't know where he is. Is he really okay?
17:27Well, the text says he's fine.
17:30Yeah. Yeah, it does. It does.
17:34Maybe.
17:36Could be rude to turn down such a generous gift.
17:40So, I guess I'm moving in.
17:43I guess that you are.
17:48We were dreading leaving the hotel room and...
17:52Now that we're back, life just gets better.
17:55Sure does.
18:05Trying to prove that you don't care about something I know you care an awful lot about is torture.
18:10So what, you're a psychologist now?
18:12I don't have to be to figure this one out.
18:14What, you're wrong?
18:16Mac, being around a new baby, you are setting yourself up for heartbreak.
18:20I'm still going.
18:23What happened to being in this together?
18:25Levi, please.
18:26That's what a relationship is.
18:29It affects both of us, what you're doing right now. It affects me.
18:32I feel like we're not even on the same team anymore.
18:37I know you're not even.
18:38You're not even on the same team anymore.
18:50You're on the same team anymore morning.
18:52I don't care.
18:53Where's Mac?
19:17On her way to the airport.
19:23Couldn't talk her out of leaving there?
19:26She didn't want to hear a word I had to say.
19:30I'm sorry, ma'am.
19:33I don't know what to do.
19:38I guess she just needs some time here.
19:43For all I know, she's going for good.
19:48Take care.
19:49Thanks, Sergeant.
19:51Are you okay?
19:54No, Leah, I'm not.
19:56Did you get all your questions answered or did you downplay his daughter's involvement?
20:01I have to go.
20:02Cassandra, you promised me that you would take care of Theo.
20:07What?
20:08You're blaming me?
20:10What did David tell you?
20:12What lies did he say?
20:14This man is trying to bring my son's murder into justice and all you can do is attack him.
20:18Hey, you know this would have happened if it wasn't for his daughter.
20:21I've heard enough.
20:22Hey, where are you going?
20:23Home.
20:24Just wait.
20:25There are things that we need to talk about.
20:27What about the funeral?
20:29You're not coming to the funeral.
20:30What?
20:31I don't want you there.
20:32Leah, stay away from me and my family.
20:36Okay.
20:37Well, all goes back.
20:38Hey, Al.
20:39How's it going?
20:40How was your honeymoon?
20:41You're not coming to the funeral where I'm coming to the funeral.
20:42That's it.
20:43We need a new life you will do.
20:44Yeah.
20:45We need a new life.
20:46I'm not going to the funeral.
20:47We need a new life.
20:48We need a new life.
20:49You know what happens to you?
20:50Well, all goes back.
20:52Hey, Al.
20:53How's it going?
20:54How was your honeymoon?
20:55We loved it.
20:56Yeah.
20:58Pure bliss.
20:59I was a bit worried that the dreadful news might have spoiled it.
21:02What dreadful news?
21:03A hit and run.
21:05I mean, what kind of evil person does that?
21:08Your leads.
21:09More than Lee. We know who did it.
21:10I'm going to give Leo and Justin a call tomorrow, see if there's any news about the funeral.
21:14Do you remember when he told me that Wendell attended your wife's funeral?
21:17What if he feels the same way about Leo?
21:19You think he'd go to the funeral?
21:20Well, I think it's a long shot. We could go and we could stake it out.
