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