00:00I don't care what you have to say. You were trouble from the moment Theo laid eyes on you.
00:19You are selfish and reckless and that's why you died.
00:23Do you remember when you told me that Wendell attended your wife's funeral?
00:27What if and it's a big what if but what if he feels the same way about Theo?
00:30You think he'd go to the funeral?
00:32Well I think it's a long shot but we could go and we could stake it out.
00:34It's tomorrow. It's that soon.
00:36It's what his mum wanted. I'll get the details.
00:38You promised me that you would take care of Theo.
00:40Why are you blaming me?
00:42Hey, where are you going?
00:43Home.
00:44Wait, there are things that we need to talk about. What about the funeral?
00:47You're not coming to the funeral.
00:49What do you mean you're not going?
00:50Because Andrew doesn't want me there.
00:54I'm not going to get to say goodbye to him.
00:57I mean, you were pretty dead set about not moving out before. What changed your mind?
01:20I just want Eden to be happy.
01:22You strip everything else away. That's all that matters.
01:27Everything's changing, right?
01:29Sure is.
01:32Hey, I'm in free rent for a year. Maybe I should get married.
01:35Your girlfriend might have something to say about that.
01:37Yeah, she would.
01:39Besides, I've got my hands full planned in the studio.
01:42Hands full? How high can it be, mate?
01:45I've tried calling. I've left a bunch of messages.
01:51Yeah, me too.
01:53I don't even know where she's staying.
01:55She hasn't been home.
01:57I'm going to go check in.
01:59Yeah, let me know how you go.
02:29You knock now.
02:39Yeah, well.
02:40Come here.
02:41Hey.
02:42Cash.
02:43Mate, I've got to keep moving, but I also need to thank you for the incredibly generous wedding gift.
02:46Oh, you're welcome.
02:47Thanks.
02:48Good luck at work.
02:49Cheers.
02:50See you, mate.
02:53Are you back to work already?
02:54Yeah.
02:55Yeah, yeah.
02:56The cops working around the clock to try and find the driver who hit Theo.
03:03We'll talk about that in a minute.
03:05But first, how was your honeymoon?
03:09It was everything that we wanted it to be.
03:12And then we came home to your note.
03:15Cash is right.
03:16I mean, you've been so generous.
03:18Well, you guys are just starting your life together.
03:21You don't need a housemate.
03:22Mm.
03:23Says the best housemate I ever had.
03:28You're gonna offer you a guest a coffee or...?
03:38Feeling any better today?
03:40Did you get back to sleep last night?
03:50Who's that?
03:56It's Mum.
03:57The funeral's today.
04:00I'm so sorry that you're not with your family today.
04:04I'd give anything to change that.
04:06I just feel like I'm letting him down again.
04:09Mm.
04:11It's the last thing that I could do for him.
04:14And you, you should be there.
04:16We both should be there.
04:18I'm not saying it's not important, because it is,
04:20but we don't need a funeral service to remember him.
04:24What if we find our own way to honour Theo?
04:27All right?
04:28Just the two of us.
04:29We...
04:31We can do it whatever way we want.
04:35I can't.
04:36Baby.
04:37Just...
04:38I'm gonna get a bit.
04:39Well, I'm really glad your dad and your sister are taking care of you.
04:50Mm.
04:51They've been amazing.
04:53Not that I deserve it, though.
04:56What do you mean?
04:57Of course you do.
04:58I mean, they're your family.
05:01You don't have to stay here with me.
05:04You're fine.
05:05I've got nowhere else to be, so...
05:07And if you want the company...
05:10Hey.
05:12I'll get you to check on these coffees.
05:17Dropped in at home, you weren't there.
05:19Where have you been?
05:20I didn't realise you were keeping tabs on me.
05:22I just need to know you're okay.
05:24Yeah, I'll leave a note next time.
05:28Um, is there any news on Wendell?
05:31I'm working on it.
05:34If you need anything, you just call me.
05:37I'll call you.
05:40Miss.
05:45That's a lot of food.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Just thought you might like some morning tea.
05:52Guys, I really appreciate this, but...
05:56I don't think she's up for company.
05:58She's not doing great.
06:00Marilyn told me what happened with Theo's mum.
06:04Just found out the funeral's today.
06:06Oh.
06:08It's breaking her heart.
06:10I'm trying...
06:13Yeah.
06:14I don't know how to help her.
06:15Thanks.
06:18Hey.
06:19Hey, love.
06:20Hey.
06:21What's going on?
06:22What are you doing here?
06:23Hi, darling.
06:24Just thought you might like some company.
06:27Well, you're family too.
06:30We want to be here for you.
06:32And for both of you.
06:37I'd like her.
06:39Yeah.
06:40I may have gone a bit overboard with the morning tea, though.
06:42I'll get changed.
06:51We'll get her through this, mate.
06:55Thanks, Alf.
06:56We've got an hour to the funeral service.
07:16Yep.
07:17I'll turn off to the chapel down that driveway.
07:19It's the only road in.
07:20There's no other access.
07:21Yeah.
07:23You good?
07:25Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
07:27Sarge, this is not a normal stakeout.
07:31I'll do everything in my power to see Wendell go down for this.
07:35I'm not about to jeopardize that by losing my temper.
07:37Okay.
07:54Are the cops any closer to finding the driver?
08:05Ah, we haven't heard yet.
08:07David's on the case.
08:08It's just going to take a bit of time.
08:14Hey, um, I missed a text from Eden before.
08:18I didn't realize they were back from the honeymoon.
08:20Yeah, I bumped into them.
08:21They said to pass on their condolences.
08:24Not much of a homecoming for them, is it?
08:27While she's with Remy, they want to drop by sometime,
08:29but they're going to wait to hear from us.
08:33That's really kind.
08:35They're sharing stories and remembering the good times.
08:38That's what we've been doing, isn't it? Yeah?
08:42Theo was always so kind.
08:45Yeah, but he could be a bit of a tear away.
08:49We all know you two had a few run-ins over the years, mate.
08:53We sure did.
08:55You know, he wasn't lacking in confidence.
08:58If he wanted to do something, he'd make it happen.
09:01He'd find a way, hey?
09:03Every time.
09:06I'm really glad that you're here.
09:09We wouldn't be anywhere else, love.
09:12Hey.
09:15You want to invite some of Theo's mates over?
09:19If you're up to it.
09:22It's not like we don't have enough food.
09:25So it's yes.
09:27You were right before.
09:29We can honor Theo in our own way.
09:34I appreciate what you're doing.
09:38But I don't really need you to babysit me.
09:41You're my friend, Lacey.
09:43I care about you.
09:44I want to be here.
09:48You should probably get that.
09:51Well, it's Justin.
09:52They were all meeting at the house.
09:54Having a gathering to remember Theo.
09:56I know you probably don't want the company.
10:00I get it, but it would be nice to go.
10:03I'm pretty sure I won't be welcome.
10:06Why?
10:08Well, you blew up at me.
10:10Well, not really a good combination right now.
10:13You should go.
10:15Okay.
10:17Well, text me if you need anything.
10:19It's so good to see you.
10:30Good to see you.
10:32Goodbye.
10:35How's Lacey?
10:36Is she coming?
10:38Something going on with her and Leah?
10:39I don't really know what, but I probably wouldn't mention her today.
10:42Sure.
10:44Oh, darling.
10:45Welcome back.
10:46Thanks.
10:47Did you have a lovely honeymoon?
10:48We did, thanks.
10:49Yeah.
10:51Ash.
10:53Couldn't make it.
10:54No.
10:55He went back to work to help with the investigation.
10:57At least there's someone onto it I can trust.
10:59Alright.
11:01Wanna sit down?
11:04We were just talking about Theo.
11:07You must have some pretty good stories from the band.
11:10Yeah.
11:11He loved being part of the band.
11:13It was like a dream come true.
11:15Still, he was the most nervous lead singer I have ever seen in my life.
11:20When didn't he get nervous?
11:21Yeah.
11:22Do you remember his first gig?
11:23I will never forget it.
11:24Yeah, I still don't know how he got up on that stage.
11:26Yeah, but once he started singing he had the whole audience in the palm of his hands.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Our fans loved him.
11:32So did we.
11:33You know, he never got nervous when he was doing that online stuff.
11:36What was that?
11:37Oh, he'd do these pranks and video them and then earn money from the views.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Our grandson Ryder helped him.
11:44Oh, wish I'd known Theo back then.
11:46Yeah, you would have been right in there egging him on, eh?
11:48Hey, our rules are meant to be broken.
11:49Am I right?
11:50Tell that to Cash.
11:51First time they met, he pulled him over for speeding.
11:56And Theo spun some wild story to try and get out of it.
12:00Anyway, it ended with a police escort right back to our house.
12:04Here we go.
12:05What do you reckon?
12:06No.
12:07No.
12:08Come on.
12:09Hang on in.
12:10What's this white car?
12:11Yeah, that's him.
12:12That's him.
12:13That's him.
12:14You were right, Nim.
12:15That's him.
12:16You were right, Nim.
12:17You were right, Nim.
12:18You were right, Nim.
12:19What do you reckon?
12:20What do you reckon?
12:21No.
12:22No.
12:23Come on.
12:24Hang on, hang on.
12:25What's this white car?
12:26Yeah, that's him.
12:27That's him.
12:28That's him.
12:29That's him.
12:30You were right, Nim.
12:31You were right, Nim.
12:36Yeah, that's him.
12:37That's him.
12:38That's him.
12:39You were right, Nim.
12:59Let's go, kill someone else.
13:23I'll get in here.
13:29I'll get in here.
13:35Idiots.
13:38Go, go, go, go, go.
13:47Get ready.
13:49He's going on foot.
13:57Go and get him, get him, get him, get him.
13:59Go, go, go.
14:00Stop!
14:01Police!
14:02Stop, shut up!
14:03Get him, get him!
14:04Get him!
14:05Get him!
14:08You
14:38Look at me.
14:52Look at me.
14:59I got him.
15:00I got him, Sarge.
15:01Got him, Sarge.
15:05Sarge, I got him.
15:08Sarge, I got him.
15:15Cuff him.
15:17Craig Wendell, I am arresting you for murder.
15:21You are not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say will be recorded and may later be given in evidence.
15:30Oh, man.
15:34We had our best conversations when we played pool.
15:37Yeah.
15:37Of course, I'd always lose.
15:38Yeah, and then you would end up buying the beers and pizza.
15:41Yeah, how did he do that?
15:42I don't know.
15:43For us, it was surfing.
15:44Like, we would sit out the back and wait for the next set to come in and, you know, solve the world's problems.
15:49And he would tell me about these big plans that he had and, um, I'm sorry.
16:08It's okay.
16:09It's okay.
16:13I love hearing this.
16:15You know, you know, he told me once that he'd only turned his life around because of you.
16:21No.
16:22Theo did that all on his own.
16:25Yeah.
16:25Yeah.
16:26Maybe.
16:27But, I mean, you always knew that you were in his corner.
16:32Yeah, I didn't realise how much I needed this.
16:35When I think back to how much fun I was having at the wedding, I feel terrible.
16:39Hey, Eden, no, no, no.
16:40Come on, dude.
16:41Don't do this.
16:43Don't let what happened ruin the memory of his special day.
16:48See, I wouldn't want that.
16:50Hey, don't hesitate to kick us out.
16:52All right, you just say the word.
16:55You're a good friend to him.
16:56I was the lucky one.
16:58Yeah.
16:59He never judged me.
17:01I know how rare that is.
17:04Oh.
17:09Take your eyes off him.
17:13Don't worry, I won't.
17:16Good work.
17:17Keep me updated.
17:19Sergeant.
17:21Wendell's car was in the storage unit.
17:23Any damage?
17:25Yeah.
17:26Passenger side bumper.
17:28Headlight.
17:29Forensics are on their way there now.
17:30Good.
17:31Do you think he's going to cooperate?
17:33We've got a strong case.
17:35We'll get a conviction for Theo's family.
17:37But with my wife, all I have are Jo's recovered memories and we both know that won't hold up in court.
17:43You're going to need a confession.
17:45Good luck.
17:54Hey.
17:55Hey.
17:59You okay?
18:00Yeah.
18:00A few of us, um, got together with Leah and Justin.
18:06Thanks.
18:09We, uh, we talked about Theo.
18:12It was nice.
18:14It was also heartbreaking.
18:15Yeah.
18:16How was Leah?
18:18Fragile, but trying to stay strong.
18:20Can you give me a sec?
18:28Yeah.
18:29Yeah?
18:29Mm-hmm.
18:37Hey, Lacey.
18:40Are you holding up?
18:43It's not my best day.
18:46Well, I've got some information that might make that a little bit better.
18:49What?
18:51Your father arrested Wendell this afternoon.
18:55He's back at the station right now.
18:56He's in custody.
18:59We got him.
18:59The witness says you drove straight at her, forcing her companion into action, and now
19:11that young man is dead.
19:14Anything to say to that?
19:16No comment.
19:19It's not the first time you've been placed at the scene of a fatal road accident, is it?
19:25No comment.
19:25If you're going to play it like that, answer me this.
19:32Was my wife still breathing when you walked away from the crash that day?
19:39No comment.
19:44Interview suspended at 1.47 p.m.
19:47I'll probably have one more sticker.
20:14It was really nice to see everyone, hear everyone's stories.
20:20They had touched a lot of lives.
20:26Who wants more tea?
20:28Never say no to a cuppa, mate.
20:31I'll get it.
20:35What are you doing here?
20:36Look, you don't want to see me, but you really need to hear this.
20:39What have you got to say?
20:39I don't want to hear it.
20:40Lacey, you really need to go.
20:41You don't understand.
20:42Dad has arrested Wendell.
20:43He's going to be in jail for a really, really long time.
20:45But I thought that you...
20:45You are not welcome in this house, and I will never forgive you.
20:50Do you understand that, Lacey?
20:52Get out!
20:54I don't care!
20:56Just go!
20:58Lacey, that's fine.
20:59I miss him.
21:17Dad, can I miss him?
21:21Of course you can, darling.
21:24Of course you can.
21:26We have an eyewitness council.
21:27I stopped denying what you've done.
21:29I didn't do anything.
21:30That girl is lying.
21:32And what girl's that?
21:33You struck Theo Poulos with your car.
21:36I know it, and you know it.
