Transcript

00:00I'm checking to see if the crash unit missed anything in the investigation.

00:12We're never going to be able to move on if we don't get everything out into the open.

00:17So if he doesn't find anything new, will you finally accept it?

00:20He will.

00:20The truth's going to come out.

00:21There's no record of who called in the accident.

00:24I always just assumed it was a passing motorist.

00:26Could also be a witness to the accident.

00:28I need to request a triple zero call recording.

00:31I've got the time date stamp here when you're ready.

00:34Triple zero? What service do you require?

00:36She's not breathing.

00:37Who's not breathing?

00:38My mum.

00:39Jo clearly didn't look like she was doing too well.

00:41Yeah, obviously. She knows she's about to be found out.

00:43Yeah, I thought reopening the case was a good idea at first,

00:46but it just seems like it's going to cause them so much more stress.

00:50Does Lacey realise how hard this is on her farmer?

00:53Lacey.

00:54I got the triple zero call.

00:55Did you find out who made it?

00:56It was you, Jo.

00:57Prove it. Play it for me.

00:59She's not breathing.

01:01Who's not breathing?

01:02My mum.

01:12Hey!

01:14Justy!

01:15Did you hear about our rock star?

01:17Yeah, I could be killing it in Europe.

01:18One and only.

01:19Very cool.

01:20Mm-hmm. Do you want to know what else is cool?

01:21What?

01:23Actually, no. Scratch that.

01:25Come on. If it's good news, why don't you share it with me?

01:27Because I can't. It's not mine to tell.

01:30Throw me a bone.

01:32I'm going to let Remy tell you himself, but you will not be disappointed.

01:35Oh.

01:35I am so pleased I've run into you.

01:42You can consider this my official RSVP to your upcoming nuptials.

01:46Oh, great.

01:47I wasn't sure if you were going to make it after everything.

01:49Wouldn't miss it for the world.

01:51Oh.

01:51You must be run off your feet, especially with cash being away and everything.

01:54Yeah, please don't remind me.

01:56Has everybody RSVP'd?

01:58Um, nearly everybody. There's just a few missing now.

02:00Yeah.

02:01Let's give the stragglers a hurry on. The caterers will be wanting some numbers by now.

02:04Yeah, yeah. They're already hassling me.

02:06I presume you have a dress.

02:07No. No, not yet.

02:09Shoes.

02:10No.

02:11Please tell me you've booked your hair and make-up, because you're really going to need that on.

02:14No, John, I haven't.

02:15I need to go to work.

02:17You're really cutting this a bit fine.

02:19Do you agree with Leah?

02:34Am I being selfish?

02:38Wow.

02:40Thanks for having my back.

02:43I'll always have your back.

02:46You want me to be honest, right?

02:47Even when it's not easy.

02:53Okay.

02:54Be honest.

02:57Leah has a point.

02:59You're not the only one that's hurting right now.

03:03Babe, I...

03:04I can't know what it feels like to lose your mum.

03:08But Joe does.

03:09And so does your dad.

03:15They're struggling just as much as you are.

03:18Just please try to remember that.

03:22Yeah.

03:24I should have known better than to get involved.

03:26The fallout?

03:27It might not be that bad, okay?

03:29And here we go.

03:30Looks like you're going to find out.

03:31Okay, well, good luck.

03:32Hey.

03:33Hey.

03:34Is Lacey okay?

03:35She's fine.

03:36I hope she doesn't think that I was judging her.

03:39Well, you kind of were, though.

03:41I didn't mean to upset her.

03:43Well, you did.

03:45But she needed to hear it.

03:47She's gone to see her dad.

03:49Check in and see how he's doing.

03:50I can't get to her.

03:52Is anyone else there who can help you?

03:53I don't know.

03:54Just help us.

03:55Please help us.

03:55Are they on their way?

03:57Mum?

03:58Mum?

03:58Come on.

03:59No more.

04:00You're torturing yourself.

04:01No, I'm not.

04:03I'm just so confused.

04:04I need to understand how this happened.

04:06There's no new information on that recording.

04:09Yeah, but there could be something that helps me remember the accident, or at least remember

04:14making the call.

04:15Like what?

04:16I don't know.

04:17Like a trigger, I guess?

04:18Having this on repeat is only going to send you into another panic attack.

04:22I don't care.

04:23I need to keep listening.

04:26Just stay on the line.

04:27Are you hurt?

04:28Mum, wake up.

04:29Mum.

04:30Where's your mum now?

04:31Um, in the front seat next to me.

04:33Hey.

04:34Hey.

04:35Do you know how to take your call?

04:37What are you doing here?

04:38I just wanted to see how you were going with everything.

04:43What's that?

04:44We're just in the middle of something.

04:46Is that?

04:46No, I'm trapped.

04:47I can't.

04:47I can't get to her.

04:48Is that what I think it is?

04:52That's the emergency call.

04:53We just got hold of it.

04:56That's you.

04:57You called triple zero.

04:58I have absolutely no memory of it at all.

05:01Joe, seriously, how could you not remember that?

05:07Thanks.

05:12You finished?

05:13Yes, yes.

05:15Look, sorry if I upset you before firing off questions about the wedding.

05:20I'm sorry, too.

05:22I have a million things to do and I thought that I would be doing them all with cash.

05:26It's just a bit less exciting without him here.

05:28Yeah, well, I'm always here to bounce ideas off.

05:31I may not be your celebrant anymore, but I'm still your friend.

05:33Thanks, John.

05:34That's really sweet.

05:36And how is the new celebrant, by the way?

05:41Actually, Jennifer's been amazing.

05:44Oh.

05:44Yeah.

05:45She's got the order of service all together?

05:48No, no, not yet.

05:50No, that's surprising.

05:52Wait, is that a problem?

05:55A good celebrant likes to plan ahead.

05:57You know, you can't just throw together a ceremony on the day.

06:01I mean, she seems to be on top of things.

06:03She lodged all the paperwork.

06:05Ah, the notice of intended marriage.

06:07That's very important.

06:08I should have thanked you earlier for recommending Jennifer.

06:11I mean, we would be totally lost without her.

06:16So, thanks.

06:17You seriously can't believe that she doesn't remember making that phone call.

06:28She had obviously just regained consciousness.

06:31But she was having a full-blown conversation with the operator.

06:34She was in shock.

06:35That is normal.

06:36Deb, listen to what you're saying.

06:38She calls triple zero.

06:39She has the conversation.

06:40She checks mom's pulse.

06:42She even knew the location.

06:43I mean, does that sound like someone who's traumatized to the point of not remembering to you?

06:47You should have seen the look on her face when she realized she had made that call.

06:51She was as confused as you are now.

06:53But that doesn't explain her not remembering anything.

06:56Emotional trauma can cause memory loss.

07:00You heard how distressed she was on that call.

07:07Lacey, look at me.

07:09Seeing your mum in that moment must have been horrific.

07:17I guess.

07:23Look, I'm sorry that this hasn't brought any new answers to life.

07:27I'm assuming that's why you're here.

07:29Actually, no.

07:30I was coming to see you.

07:34Oh, really?

07:35Yeah, I never really saw any of this from your point of view.

07:40It must be really hard.

07:43It's not easy.

07:47But I'm okay.

07:53Now, would you like to go and check on your sister, too?

07:57I'm going to leave that one to you.

08:00Just keep me updated.

08:03Of course.

08:03She's gone.

08:27I'm so sorry, Dad.

08:28I just can't remember anything.

08:30Oh, no.

08:32It's okay.

08:33Okay.

08:33Listen, um, I might keep looking into this.

08:41That's okay with you.

08:45I was thinking I'd ask the hospital for your pathology results post-accident.

08:51I'd go for it.

08:54Who knows?

08:55Maybe I forgot that I was drunk or on drugs, too.

08:57Theo told you it'd be all good.

09:17Yeah, I know.

09:18So stop stressing, baby.

09:19You know, Lacey knows that you didn't mean any harm.

09:22Well, I just don't want her to think that I was being mean.

09:24You mean?

09:25You mean?

09:25You know, scary, maybe.

09:27Yeah, sometimes I wonder why I married you.

09:30I know.

09:31I know.

09:31I feel dreadful.

09:33No, no, no, no, no.

09:34Cash and Eden really loved you.

09:35It's just that when they found out that my schedule had freed up, they wanted to revert the original plan.

09:40So if you forward all the paperwork to me, I'll take it from here.

09:43And I will guarantee that you are paid your fee in full.

09:46Thank you for being so understanding, Jennifer.

09:49You are the best.

09:50Bye-bye.

09:52Well, second best anyway.

09:54What was that all about?

09:55I just did Cash and Eden a favour.

09:57What sort of favour?

09:57I sacked their celebrant.

09:59Did they ask you to do that?

10:01No, Eden said she was disappointed that I wasn't marrying, so I fixed it.

10:05An intuitive celebrant should always be aware of what the bride and groom are in.

10:09I hope you're right.

10:10Of course I'm right.

10:12I'm highly intuitive.

10:19I come bearing excellent news.

10:21You are.

10:22You won the lottery.

10:23No, better than that.

10:24While you fired up the coffee machine, I fired Jennifer.

10:27I'm going to marry you in cash.

10:29Are you serious?

10:30Absolutely.

10:30Oh, I don't believe this.

10:32No, you don't have to do a thing.

10:33The handover will be handled by me.

10:34No, no, no, no.

10:35That's not the point, okay?

10:36Jennifer has already done so much work for us.

10:39Yeah, yeah.

10:40Don't worry.

10:40She understood that she's a professional.

10:43Okay, and what does that make you?

10:46I was just so disappointed.

10:48I had to abandon you last time.

10:51That doesn't change the fact that you had no right to do what you just did.

10:55I need you to understand something.

10:57The only reason I walked away from the job was because my dear friend was in serious trouble.

11:05It broke my heart, but I just didn't think I could do the right thing by her and by you and Cash at the same time.

11:14You know that we weren't mad at you.

11:16You know that we weren't mad at you, right?

11:17Please let me do this for you.

11:22Do I get approval over what you wear?

11:24Of course.

11:25That's one of the two suits I already own.

11:27All right.

11:31I guess we're stuck with you then.

11:33Yes, yes, yes, yes.

11:34You won't regret this.

11:35I promise you could do this.

11:37Oh.

11:40Very good.

11:41Very good.

11:42Very good.

11:42Joe, enough.

11:59It's the pathology lab.

12:03David Langham.

12:07Yep.

12:08Email the report.

12:09Thanks.

12:10But can you give me a quick summary now?

12:12And the tests were done twice.

12:17Okay.

12:18Thanks.

12:21What'd they say?

12:22Pathology confirmed.

12:24Your results were clean.

12:25No trace of alcohol or drugs.

12:28So nothing new then?

12:31No.

12:31All protocols were followed.

12:33It's solid.

12:35Obviously, we expected all that.

12:40But it's good to have it confirmed.

12:42Definitely.

12:43It was such a shock.

12:48Now that recording is stuck in my head.

12:52Yeah.

12:52I can't even imagine.

12:54Must have been so weird for Joe to hear it too.

12:57Yeah.

12:59How was your dad?

13:01Holding it together.

13:03So you're glad you went?

13:03I suppose.

13:04I suppose.

13:07Thank you for pushing me to go.

13:09Yeah.

13:10I'm good like that.

13:10Pushy.

13:12Seriously though.

13:14You're like no one else I've ever been with.

13:16Sorry to interrupt.

13:24Bad timing.

13:25Obviously, I just had food.

13:26I didn't want to leave it outside.

13:27Come in.

13:29Thanks.

13:29Um, about what I said.

13:31I'm so sorry.

13:33It's fine.

13:34I just hate seeing you guys go through this.

13:36It actually sparked a conversation.

13:39I'm trying to reconnect with my dad.

13:42That's great news.

13:44Anyway, I brought you some dinner.

13:46Oh, you didn't have to do that.

13:48Indulge me and take it please.

13:50Oh, it's dad.

13:52He wants me to meet him and Joe now.

13:54Do you mind?

13:56There might be some news.

13:57No, no, no.

13:57You go.

13:58It's important.

13:59Good luck.

14:00Bye.

14:01Yeah, I'm kind of glad too.

14:04It's the way it was meant to be.

14:06Oh, he's so up for it.

14:09Exactly.

14:10John Zilla is back.

14:12Seriously though.

14:13It would be really good to have him back on board.

14:18Thanks for coming.

14:20No problem.

14:22What's the latest?

14:24I've reviewed every piece of evidence linked to the accident.

14:28Like both of you, I desperately wanted answers, but I've found no new leads.

14:36So, where do we go from here?

14:39Unless your memory comes back, there's nothing else we can do.

14:44We might just have to accept that we'll probably never know what happened.

14:49Well, this isn't what any of us were hoping for.

15:01Look, I'm still not okay with not knowing.

15:03Yeah, you've made that pretty clear.

15:05So, what are you going to do about it?

15:07Sorry?

15:08Joe, you have to try and remember what happened that night.

15:10I have tried.

15:10Well, try harder.

15:12Not just for us, but for dad.

15:13He clearly is finding this really hard too.

15:16Yeah, because of you.

15:17Excuse me?

15:17The only reason he reopened the investigation is because he wants you back in our lives.

15:22I know, maybe at the start, but not now.

15:24You heard him.

15:25He wants answers too, and that's on you.

15:27And your memory.

15:29Everything alright?

15:31Fine.

15:33Right to go?
