00:01Closer each day
00:04I'm in no way
00:08Can you tell me who was driving the car that struck Theo Poulos?
00:13Yeah, it's like Craig Wendell.
00:16Yeah, that's him, that's him.
00:18Look at me.
00:31Craig Wendell, I am arresting you for murder.
00:34We'll get a conviction for Theo's family.
00:36But with my wife will I have a Joe's recovered memories and we both know that won't hold up in court.
00:41You're gonna need a confession.
00:42It's not the first time you've been placed at the scene of a fatal road accident, is it?
00:46A comment.
00:47Was my wife still breathing when you walked away from the crash that day?
00:51No comment.
00:56Your father arrested Wendell this afternoon. He's back at the station right now.
00:59He's in custody.
01:00Dad has arrested Wendell. He's gonna be in jail for a really, really long time.
01:03Get out!
01:04You are not welcome in this house and I will never forgive you!
01:08Get out!
01:09It wasn't just a random hit and run, it was deliberate.
01:18Yeah, it's why Leah kicked me out.
01:21It's my fault that Theo's dead.
01:23No, no Lacey, it's not your fault, okay?
01:26You're not responsible for that scumbag's actions.
01:29I knew that he was dangerous. I still dragged Theo out there to confront him.
01:36I know I shouldn't have caught Leah's place. His arrest won't change anything and it was dumb of me to think that it would.
01:44No, it wasn't dumb, alright? You were just trying to provide us some comfort.
01:49It's all still very raw.
01:53She'll come round, okay?
01:56I can't believe she'd just turn up. What was she thinking?
02:00I think she was trying to keep you in the loop.
02:02Oh, so I should just forget that this is all her fault?
02:04Leah?
02:05He'd still be alive if it wasn't for her selfishness and her stupidity.
02:09No, I think she was just trying to make you feel better, like Wendell being arrested, that's a good thing.
02:14Why are you making excuses for her?
02:15I'm not making excuses for her!
02:17She shouldn't have shown her face here today! Today of all days!
02:20She loved him too!
02:21It doesn't make this okay!
02:22Leah!
02:23Shut up!
02:24I don't want to hear any more from you. Everyone just go!
02:35Mate, I'm sorry. I just tried to play catch up and I said the wrong thing.
02:39It's not your fault, mate.
02:41Why don't you blokes get some fresh air, eh?
02:44Sure?
02:45Yeah.
02:46Interview recommencing.
02:47How long is this going to take?
02:48There's still a few more things.
02:49How many times do I have to say it? No comment.
02:52We found your car in the storage unit. Forensics are going over it now.
02:53What storage unit? I know nothing about that.
02:54That's interesting because we have record of payment from your bank account for a facility
02:55in Reefs and Lakes and the car is registered in your name.
02:59And the damage to that vehicle is consistent with the injuries sustained.
03:00And the damage to that vehicle is consistent with the injuries sustained.
03:01That's interesting because we have record of payment from your bank account for a facility in Reefs and Lakes.
03:06And the car is registered in your name.
03:07And the damage to that vehicle is consistent with the injuries sustained by the victim, Theo Poulos.
03:13You struck Theo Poulos with your car. I know it and you know it.
03:20Why did you ditch your car? Go to ground?
03:23I didn't go to ground. I was taking some mental health days.
03:27Why did you ditch your car? Go to ground?
03:42I didn't go to ground. I was taking some mental health days.
03:45And the oil company, you know it.
03:49health days. And then you just turned up at Theo Poulos' funeral? I wasn't there for the funeral.
03:54I was there to put some flowers in a friend's grave. What friend was that?
04:01No comment. And you ran from us because? Because you've been harassing me and I was scared that
04:11it was going to continue and it clearly has. We have an eyewitness council. I stopped denying
04:16what you've done. I didn't do anything. That girl is lying. And what girl's that?
04:23The woman you met that night is not a journalist. Her name is Lacey Miller. My daughter. But you
04:33already knew that. And you also know that she's the daughter of Christina Langham, who you left
04:38to die on Baxter Creek Road two years ago. Once forensics confirmed Theo's DNA matches the blood
04:45we found on the headlight of your car. There isn't a court in this country that won't find
04:51you guilty for his murder.
04:58I want my lawyer.
05:02Of course you do.
05:06Do you know how they found him?
05:08Yeah, she didn't give me any details. I'm sure Dad will fill us in later though.
05:12I'm going to go to the station.
05:16Why?
05:18To see Dad.
05:20And to look that monster right in the eye.
05:23Come with me.
05:25I don't know what I would do if I saw him again.
05:28Hey.
05:30I know exactly how you feel, but this is everything we've been working towards.
05:35Sure, but...
05:36This is the man that took everything from us.
05:45Wendell lawyered up before I could get him to talk.
05:51With all due respect, that means he gets away with killing my wife.
06:01Understood.
06:01Understood.
06:01Do you mind?
06:11I'm in the middle of advising my client.
06:14And I think we both know how inappropriate this harassment is.
06:17Not harassing.
06:18I just thought you'd like to know while you're advising.
06:22The DPP has just authorised me to charge your client
06:24in regards to the death of Theo Paulos.
06:27As discussed, our case is solid.
06:31You keep saying that.
06:33I'm sorry, sir.
06:33You've asked for your lawyer, so I can't talk to you.
06:38We're just waiting for confirmation.
06:40The blood on your client's car is Theo Paulos's.
06:44With that forensic evidence and the witness testimony,
06:47our case is watertight.
06:49My client has something to say.
07:09I did it.
07:14I hit the guy with my car.
07:19I panicked.
07:26I thought I was going to lose everything I'd worked for.
07:32Why?
07:37Because I also caused the accident that killed your wife.
07:43Tell me what happened.
08:03I was driving down Baster Creek Road,
08:12and I looked down to change the music on my phone,
08:18and when I looked back up,
08:21I was on the wrong side of the road.
08:27And when we both swerved,
08:29but the other car lost control,
08:30and ran off the road and hit a tree.
08:38What did you do then?
08:43I stopped.
08:47Ran over to it,
08:48but when I saw them,
08:51I panicked and I fled.
08:54You didn't think to call Val?
08:57Even anonymously.
09:08You just left them both there,
09:10and one of them.
09:13My wife died.
09:14My wife died.
09:14Craig Wendell,
09:30I am charging you with the murder of Theo Paulos,
09:33the attempted murder of Lacey Miller,
09:36and dangerous driving occasioning the death
09:39of Christina Langham.
09:55You'll spend tonight here in the cells
09:57until you're due in court tomorrow.
10:02I'm sorry.
10:03Take him through.
10:04Take him through.
10:04So it's true, Dad.
10:14You finally got him.
10:16How?
10:18He turned up to Theo's funeral.
10:20Just like Mum's?
10:22Yeah.
10:23You said he was going to court
10:24as I'm being charged?
10:25Yes.
10:26For what?
10:27For everything.
10:29Really?
10:30Even Mum?
10:32He confessed.
10:33I can't believe it.
10:38Thanks to you.
10:39Don't say that.
10:41It's true.
10:42If you hadn't have done what you did...
10:44But Theo would still be alive.
10:50I see why Leah flipped out
10:51when Lacey came to the house.
10:52She blames her for what happened entirely.
10:57To you?
10:58To you?
10:58To you?
10:58To you?
10:58To you?
11:03She was reckless.
11:06I don't understand if Leah can never forgive her.
11:10I mean, it's hard for everyone.
11:13For what it's worth, I thought,
11:15to get together was a good idea.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah, I mean, it didn't end so well,
11:20but, uh, Leah was smiling there for a while.
11:22Well, it's good to share stories about Theo.
11:27It was.
11:31I don't necessarily agree with it,
11:34but I get why you're angry at Cassandra.
11:37And even Lacey.
11:39But why the big spit at Justin?
11:42He's on your side.
11:44Yeah.
11:45I know.
11:46I shouldn't have snucked at him.
11:47I'm just so...
11:50I'm so angry at everyone and everything.
11:57It's his whole situation.
12:00I know, love.
12:01But don't push him away.
12:04He's not the enemy.
12:07And you're going to need him more than anyone.
12:11I know.
12:15So what's going to happen at court tomorrow?
12:17I mean, he's already confessed, so...
12:19It'll be a formality,
12:21then there'll be the sentencing.
12:22When will that be?
12:23I don't know.
12:24How long do you think he'll get?
12:26You know what, girls?
12:27Just stop for a minute.
12:32It's over.
12:35No more questions about what happened on that day.
12:39No more guilt.
12:42No more anger.
12:43No more confusion.
12:52Dad, can I move in?
12:58Of course you can, darling.
13:01Of course you can.
13:02Who stays after curtain call?
13:16So this is the outside of the place I bought.
13:18I know it doesn't look like much,
13:19but show me a recording studio that does, huh?
13:22Yeah, I reckon.
13:29Hey.
13:31Hey.
13:32Mate, how's Lacey?
13:35She's all right.
13:36Anyway, what are you two talking about?
13:38I was just showing Justin photos of the place I bought.
13:42Yeah, what do you think?
13:42Well, I mean, it'll be better once the fit-out's completed.
13:47Yeah, and once the tech guys arrive with the sound gear from Germany, right?
13:50Jack, it gives us time to wait for the paint to dry,
13:52you know, the furniture will be delivered.
13:54Fellas, fellas, fellas, this all, it sounds amazing,
13:57but I've got to pull you up there.
13:58I can't do it.
14:02I don't have the capacity for it,
14:06especially with everything that's going on.
14:08You know,
14:12Leah's got to be my priority.
14:15I really can't think about anything else.
14:17Of course, mate.
14:18Yeah, you take as much time as you need.
14:21Yeah, I'm happy to wait for you.
14:24I think you'll be waiting a while.
14:27I know.
14:29Leah wants to meet up.
14:30I've got to go.
14:31I hope she's feeling better.
14:32Thanks, lads.
14:37I'm sorry for Bailin.
14:40All good.
14:42Totally understand.
14:43I understand.
15:02I'm sorry about before.
15:14Don't you point the choice?
15:15I just took everything out on you,
15:17and that's not fair.
15:18Please.
15:28I miss him.
15:32I miss him too.
15:43Here we go.
15:44What does it all make it official?
15:52You moving in?
15:59Please don't tell me you're having second thoughts already.
16:02No, I'm just worried about going back to my place to get my stuff.
16:07All of Theo's stuff will probably still be there.
16:15I don't think I can take it.
16:17I understand.
16:17What are you guys talking about?
16:24Getting Lacey's stuff from her old place.
16:27I'm not ready to go back there yet.
16:30Not yet.
16:33What if I go with you?
16:36Would that help?
16:36Why don't we all go together?
16:59I can't be here.
17:00I'm sorry.
17:00I can't do this.
17:01We're here, and we've got you.
17:08Why don't you sit down and write a note to your flatmates,
17:11explain what's going on,
17:13and we'll collect your things.
17:16Okay.
17:20Just the room down there.
17:22Please.
17:35What if I go with you?
17:45What if I go with you?
17:46I'll take you with me.
17:47What if I go with you?
17:48I'll take you with me, and play with you.
17:48I'll take you with me.
17:50Dear Brie, Sonny and Dana, I'm really sorry, but I've decided to move out.
18:05I just can't be here without Theo.
18:11Well, I've got a feeling that everything's going to be okay now anyway.
18:14You've got a feeling?
18:15Yep, yeah.
18:17Okay.
18:18What makes you so confident?
18:20Because I know I love you.
18:22Hey, buddy.
18:50Hey, when do you reckon we'll be ready to open?
18:55Uh, I'm not sure.
18:57Hopefully the soundstage won't have too much to do.
18:58Have you seen the report?
18:59Uh, no, not yet.
19:01Okay, I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow.
19:02When you do, can you ask about soundproofing?
19:04I just don't want any complaints from boring neighbours.
19:06Sonny, I love your enthusiasm, but this all just feels so wrong.
19:18What do you mean?
19:19Why?
19:21Justin's already bailed.
19:24To be honest, mate, my heart just isn't in it anymore either.
19:27Yeah, but I mean, you've put so much work into this.
19:32You bought a studio, Rem.
19:33You can't just walk away from...
19:35I'm done.
19:37Remi.
19:38No.
19:38Big day, huh?
19:54Yeah.
19:55I'm glad Wendell finally confessed, but I'm really worried about Lacey.
20:06Me too.
20:09She's going to need a space for a very long time.
20:13Well, I'm not going anywhere.
20:16You're sealed in?
20:18Yeah.
20:19Thank you for helping me with my stuff earlier.
20:27I thought the three of us could have a barbie tonight.
20:31I don't really feel like celebrating that.
20:34I just mean a simple meal
20:35where we can raise a glass to your mother
20:39and to Theo.
20:45What do you say?
20:46Okay.
20:51Sure.
20:53Can you help me a lot at the barbie?
21:05You okay?
21:07Yeah, I'm fine.
21:08Actually, I'm not fine.
21:09I don't know why I said that.
21:11Look, I know we didn't dig into anything too deep,
21:12but if you're up for it now...
21:15I'd love that.
21:16Do you know what would really cheer me up?
21:17What's that?
21:19Watching your face while I play the voicemail from the wedding again.
21:22So you never want me to call you again?
21:25I'd hate that.
21:26I'd hate that.
21:28I'd hate that.
