00:00Closer each day

00:03Home and away

00:06You're gonna be a dad.

00:09You are going to be the best mum ever.

00:14Thanks, buddy.

00:15Now that we've told someone, it feels real.

00:17I know. Really real.

00:19It was like he recognised me.

00:21When he saw me, he looked scared.

00:23If this guy owned the car that you saw,

00:25he is probably the guy who killed mum.

00:26And we've got to figure out who he is.

00:28The man you were interviewing at the station,

00:30he looked at me like he knew me.

00:31Is he a suspect?

00:32I thought he was the owner of the Mercedes,

00:34but he wasn't.

00:35I'm guessing you remember his car at the time.

00:37Do you recall why he wanted it sold so quickly?

00:40Joe, he's got to leave.

00:42How do you know that?

00:43Because I saw his investigation paperwork

00:45when I broke into the station.

00:46You said you didn't find anything.

00:48You said you didn't want to be involved.

00:49Who is he? What's his name?

00:51Craig Wendell.

00:53Look at this.

00:55He was there. Lazy.

00:57He went to mum's funeral.

00:58Look.

01:02Why would he go if he wasn't involved in some way?

01:05This has got to prove he's guilty, right?

01:16Good morning, beautiful.

01:18Oh, what's coming?

01:20Hi.

01:21Hi.

01:24What?

01:25Oh, what for this?

01:28When did you do this?

01:30I've been up for hours, babe.

01:31Have you?

01:32Aw.

01:33Sorry I'm so tired, but I am making a baby.

01:36So are you going to let me take care of you?

01:38I'm so glad that we get to spend today together.

01:40Just you, me, and baby tadpole.

01:43Baby tadpole?

01:44Yeah.

01:45I like the sound of that.

01:47So what do you reckon we're having?

01:49Uh, I got no clue.

01:52I'm thinking a boy.

01:53No, actually a girl.

01:55Okay.

01:56Yeah.

01:57I'm thinking a surfer?

01:58Or a doctor?

01:59Surfer doctor?

02:01Either way.

02:03Whatever we have, it's going to be perfect.

02:06Yeah, it is.

02:15No.

02:16It's work.

02:17No, it's not.

02:18Sorry, sorry.

02:19I need me to come in for a few hours.

02:20That's okay.

02:21At least I have all this to enjoy while you're gone.

02:23I'll make it up to you, I promise.

02:25Yeah, you will.

02:26Love you.

02:27I love you too.

02:28Okay.

02:31Help.

02:32Oh.

02:36Hey, Mum.

02:38Yeah, I'm just in bed having some brunch.

02:45Yeah, actually I do have some news for you.

02:49I hate to have to point this out, but his signature is not actually evidence that he's guilty.

02:53Oh, Dad, come on.

02:54A random guy who doesn't even know Mum just rocks up to her service?

02:57Who also happened to be in the area on the day of the accident.

03:00Yeah, he obviously felt guilty.

03:02Why else would he go to her funeral?

03:04I mean, it's that or he's some kind of psycho.

03:06Girls, this is all circumstantial.

03:08None of it proves anything.

03:09Why are you doing this?

03:11Doing what?

03:12Pretending it means nothing.

03:14We're not crazy, Dad.

03:15This is something.

03:16It's real.

03:17It has to be.

03:18You still haven't told me how you found out Wendell's name.

03:22How?

03:24I took photos of your whiteboard.

03:26At the station.

03:27Well, you weren't telling me anything.

03:28What else was I supposed to do?

03:29Not break into my office for a start.

03:31Okay, I didn't break in.

03:32The constable on duty let me in.

03:33That is not okay.

03:35And neither is keeping your daughters in the dark.

03:37Lacey, I have my reasons.

03:38Well, whatever your reasons are, they suck.

03:40Because it is unfair to us and it is unfair amongst our money.

03:43Okay, alright.

03:44You let's just all stop and take a breath.

03:47Alright?

03:50Oh, it's a shame you're going to be by my side when I'm licking this flat.

03:53Yeah, absolutely.

03:54Hey, so how's Harper feeling?

03:57The eye is still giving her a lot of discomfort.

04:00Well, you know, I'm sure she'll appreciate you staying with her for a few nights.

04:04Yeah, I'm sure she will.

04:05You are missing the wedding after all, so.

04:07Yeah, you seem real caught up about that.

04:12Okay, what am I missing here?

04:14Quite a bit, I think.

04:15Hey!

04:16Hi!

04:17They told me upstairs you weren't coming in today.

04:18Oh yeah, that was the plan, but here I am.

04:20Huh?

04:21And I thought you weren't due back from Maroombula for a few weeks.

04:22Well, that was the plan, but with Ru away and Palmer off to Paris, somebody's got to prepare for this committee meeting in a few days.

04:36Right.

04:37Yes, the email.

04:38I'm so sorry.

04:39I haven't replied.

04:40I've been so distracted lately.

04:41Well, a family wedding will do that, do you?

04:44That is true.

04:45Look, while I've got you, this committee meeting, let's keep it simple, eh?

04:49We don't need all the bells and whistles.

04:51Mm-hmm.

04:52Yes, that would be a nice change.

04:53Yeah, yeah, it would.

04:54So you'll keep a table aside for us?

04:56Mm-hmm.

04:57Discuss this later.

04:59He's gonna go.

05:00How do you think it's okay?

05:01Hey, hey, Archie's asleep.

05:04How does he think it's okay to maim my sister and then just go and party at a wedding?

05:09Maim's a bit strong.

05:11Well, you've seen the fashion accessory you're sporting.

05:13I'm trying to be positive and comments like that don't help.

05:16Sorry.

05:17If you staying here is gonna be an issue for you and Sonny, then I can manage.

05:21That's not what I'm saying.

05:22Then what's the problem?

05:24He caused your injury.

05:26It was an accident.

05:28You don't need to defend my terrible boyfriend.

05:30He just wants to go to his friend's wedding. Come on.

05:33Well, he could at least offer to stay.

05:35Yeah, but why should he miss out? I'd go in a heartbeat if I could.

05:38He obviously feels the same way.

05:39I cannot believe you're taking his side.

05:41I can't believe you're making such a big deal out of this.

05:43Sonny's not a mind reader.

05:44You can't be angry at him if you haven't told him that something's wrong.

05:50I worship the ground that woman walks on. I really do.

05:53But sometimes being with her is exhausting.

05:56Uh-huh.

06:00Okay, what am I missing here?

06:02Oh, I'm not getting involved.

06:03Oh, come on. Put me out of my misery.

06:05So you seriously have no idea what the issue is?

06:08No. I mean, I know she was worried about her sister, but we worked through that.

06:12At least I thought we did.

06:16It would appear to me that she's upset that you're going to the wedding without her.

06:21But she didn't say anything.

06:23But maybe she didn't think she had to.

06:27Right.

06:28Let's try to keep our cool this time, yeah?

06:32Fine by me.

06:33Sure.

06:35Lacey.

06:36Just want Dad to be honest for once.

06:38I was on Wendell's trail until I was ordered to stand down by my superintendent.

06:42What? Since when?

06:44A few days ago.

06:46Why?

06:48Wendell got his lawyer involved. He claimed there was a conflict of interest.

06:51Only a guilty man needs a lawyer.

06:53So you backed off?

06:55What choice did I have?

06:57Well, you may be prepared to give up.

06:59But I'm not.

07:00We need to be smart about this.

07:02I have been smart.

07:05What does that mean?

07:08Lacey, what have you done?

07:11I called Wendell.

07:12I had no idea about this.

07:17I left a message warning him that if he didn't come clean, then I would take the story to the media.

07:22You threatened him?

07:23Yeah.

07:24I did.

07:25Which means there's only a matter of time until that man gets what he deserves.

07:38Hiya.

07:39Hello.

07:40Hiya.

07:41I've got you a coffee.

07:43I actually can't stay very long though.

07:44I can't be left alone.

07:45Right.

07:46How's she doing?

07:47Yeah.

07:48Pretty good.

07:49Under the circumstances.

07:50Good.

07:51Good.

07:53Um, anyway, so I think I misunderstood you when-

07:55Oh, I hate this.

07:56I'm sorry.

07:57Okay.

07:58Let's let you want to have a chat.

08:00It's my attitude back at the house.

08:03Good place to start.

08:04Yeah.

08:06I was just feeling like you were being kind of tone deaf when you were banging on about the wedding.

08:11While you've got all this stuff going on with Harper.

08:14Yeah, exactly.

08:15I get it.

08:16I do.

08:17And, uh, I'm sorry.

08:19Okay.

08:21I apologize for that.

08:23We're good.

08:24You sure?

08:25Excuse me.

08:26I excel at missing signals.

08:27You know this, so if there's anything else at all you want to bring up, please don't be subtle.

08:36Okay.

08:37Um, since you're asking.

08:38Yep.

08:39You're asking?

08:40I'm asking.

08:41I was a little bummed that you were going to go to the wedding without me.

08:46But I have since spoken to Harper and she has reminded me that that is not very fair on you.

08:53Right.

08:55So do you want me to go, or?

08:56Well, I think you should go.

08:57That's the right thing to do.

08:58That's the right thing to do.

08:59That's not what I asked them.

09:01Well, I'm not going to demand that you stay here with me.

09:03That's selfish.

09:04Okay.

09:05Well, if you weren't worried about being judged, then, like, what would you want me to do?

09:07Like, what would you actually, what do you want?

09:09Honestly.

09:13On words, Dana, you're good with them.

09:15I would want you to not, though.

09:22Right.

09:23That's what I thought.

09:26In what universe was that a good idea?

09:29What were you thinking?

09:30Look, at least I'm doing something.

09:32I used a fake name.

09:34He's got no idea that I'm connected to Mum.

09:36Are you sure?

09:37He's got his lawyer involved.

09:38Who knows what they're digging up?

09:40It's fine, Dad.

09:42It's so far from fine.

09:43Is there anything else we need to know?

09:46Yeah, good question.

09:48Lacey?

09:49Come on.

09:51I watched his house.

09:53For a night.

09:54What?

09:55You stalked him?

09:56Yeah.

09:57Did he see you?

09:58No.

09:59Did you approach him?

10:00No!

10:01Are you sure?

10:02If he was at the funeral, he knows what you look like.

10:04I am sure, Dad.

10:06Good.

10:07Good?

10:08Are you kidding?

10:10Is that everything?

10:11Besides the ultimatum.

10:13Yeah.

10:14Let's just be clear.

10:15What you did was blackmail.

10:17Pure and simple.

10:19Do you know how many laws you've broken this week?

10:21Stealing evidence.

10:22Unlawfully entering police premises.

10:24And now extortion.

10:25And because I did all of that, we are the closest we've ever been to nailing Wendell.

10:30How do you figure?

10:31Because I'm putting pressure on him.

10:33And what's he done in response?

10:34He hasn't responded.

10:36He hasn't replied yet.

10:40Because he's probably on a plane to the other side of the world, never to be seen again.

10:44What would that mean?

10:45Would he get away with it?

10:46I don't know what would happen.

10:49Do you have any idea what you've done?

10:51You've put this entire investigation at risk.

10:55Lacey, wait.

10:56Let her go.

10:57Hey.

10:58Oh.

10:59Are you still sore?

11:00Yeah.

11:01Are you doing laundry?

11:02Someone else to.

11:03Okay.

11:04Well, I will do it.

11:05You know, you just relax.

11:06So how'd you go with Sunny?

11:07Oh.

11:08Not great.

11:09The wedding came up.

11:10And, um, you asked me to be clear about what I wanted.

11:12So were you?

11:13Yeah.

11:14Yeah.

11:15I told him I didn't want him to go.

11:16That's not what we talked about.

11:17I know.

11:18I know.

11:19And I was trying to be cool about him going and having fun with his friends.

11:22And then, you know, he asked me to be honest.

11:23Because then I had to be.

11:24And what did he say?

11:25Nothing.

11:26Nothing.

11:27Nothing.

11:28Well, not nothing.

11:29Nothing.

11:30Well, not nothing.

11:31Nothing.

11:32Well, not nothing.

11:33No.

11:34No.

11:35No.

11:36No.

11:37No.

11:38No.

11:39No.

11:40No.

11:41No.

11:42No.

11:43No.

11:44No.

11:45Nothing.

11:46He said he needed to think about it.

11:47Okay.

11:48I know.

11:49I know.

11:50And now I think I should have lied.

11:51Because he's just, he's going to think that I'm selfish.

11:52Ugh.

12:00Good to see you back on the tools.

12:01Oh, thanks.

12:02Yeah, it's good to be back.

12:04For the most part.

12:05Slow and steady.

12:06Have you actually worked in an ER before?

12:09Ignore me.

12:11But I'm here if you need.

12:14Ugh.

12:17Busy day?

12:18Ugh.

12:19It wasn't supposed to be, but that's John Palmer reminding me for the hundredth time about wedding

12:23rehearsals.

12:24He takes the celebrant duties very seriously.

12:26He certainly does.

12:27Yeah.

12:28We're not due at the venue until this afternoon, but he's already been there for several hours.

12:31Oh, are you driving out today?

12:33Yeah, just the bridal party.

12:34We're staying there overnight.

12:35Ah.

12:36Sorry to hear that you won't be joining us for the wedding.

12:40Yeah.

12:41Look, I think it's for the best.

12:43It's important to put distance between Rumi and I.

12:46No, I get it.

12:47Yeah.

12:48But you'll be missed.

12:50That's what Eden said.

12:51But you know what?

12:52Come this time tomorrow, I am going to have one serious case of FOMO.

12:56Tomorrow.

12:57Oh my gosh.

12:58Eden is getting married tomorrow.

12:59That is so surreal.

13:01I bet.

13:02It wasn't that long ago.

13:04She couldn't stand the side of me and now I'm walking her down the aisle.

13:11Ta.

13:13Have a good day.

13:14You too.

13:15See ya.

13:16Let's hide under the sheets.

13:18Quietly to feel your breath on my skin.

13:25I can't.

13:26Look what we've started.

13:30Can you feel it just like me?

13:33It's started.

13:36Don't know where we'll end up but my heart is yours right now.

13:55This isn't so bad, isn't it buddy?

13:57No, it's a wedding.

13:58Not me.

13:59This is going to be drunk bridesmaids and very boring best man speech.

14:03Pretty harsh on Tane.

14:05Hey, what are you doing here?

14:07I just wondered if I could crash with you guys for a couple of days.

14:10Works for me.

14:11You want to go into the wedding?

14:12Nope.

14:13Why?

14:14Just my wedding suit, you know.

14:16I just look too hot in it.

14:18Hot in it.

14:19Why is that a problem?

14:20You know, I just didn't want to outdo the groom and I figured I'd be batting off the ladies

14:25with the sticks.

14:26Yeah.

14:27It'd be pretty tiring I guess.

14:29Yeah, really tiring.

14:31No, genuinely, you're my priority and I want to be there for you when you're near me.

14:40That is so nice, isn't it?

14:42And also it's really good timing that you're here because Mr. Archie needs a little mappy change.

14:49Oh, right.

14:50It's better the terms and conditions are staying, isn't it, Harper?

14:55Absolutely.

14:59Change table through there, boys.

15:00Gotcha.

15:01Let's go, buddy.

15:02Let's clean you up.

15:19I am so glad it's you.

15:31Oh, were you expecting someone else?

15:33Yeah, it's John Palmer.

15:35Wedding rehearsal stuff.

15:36Anyway, you all good?

15:37Yeah, well, I threw up this morning.

15:39I'm not sure if it's something I ate or I don't know.

15:42How are you feeling now?

15:44Good.

15:45Great, actually.

15:46But I have a confession to make.

15:48Go on.

15:49I told Mum about the baby.

15:51I hope that's okay.

15:52Of course it's okay.

15:53Really?

15:54Well, that was easier than I thought.

15:55You can tell whoever you want.

15:57Same goes for you.

15:58Really?

15:59What happened to hunting down whoever spilled the beans?

16:01Well, I mean, there are beans to spill, aren't they?

16:03And Mum was really happy for us.

16:05She even crewed over a gift.

16:06Really?

16:07Mm-hmm.

16:08It's a pregnancy journal.

16:10That'll keep you busy for the next nine months.

16:12I know.

16:13I mean, I've already started to fill it in.

16:14I bet you have.

16:15Hey, I'd better get back to it.

16:17But, uh, I'll see you later.

16:19Okay.

16:20Bye.

16:25What?

16:26Should I hear something about nine months?

16:29Maybe.

16:30Congratulations!

16:32That is amazing!

16:34Thank you, Prue.

16:35But we're keeping it on the hush-hush for now.

16:37Oh, yes, of course, of course.

16:38Yeah.

16:39I'm so happy for you and Mac.

16:40Yeah, it's pretty great.

16:41Oh, we are just pretty great?

16:42Well, yeah.

16:43I get to be a dad.

16:44And I get to share that with Mac.

16:45I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet.

16:47Oh, my God!

16:48Come on.

16:49Hold me back.

16:50Come on, call me back.

17:18I'm not doing this again.

17:20I'm done arguing, Dad.

17:22So am I.

17:24Which is why I need you to promise me you'll stop going rogue on this.

17:28I know what I'm doing.

17:30You're outside his house, alone.

17:33What if he'd seen you?

17:35Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?

17:38I hired a car.

17:40There was not one person that saw me.

17:42I was completely safe.

17:43You don't know that.

17:45Well, I'm not okay with just letting this go like you seem to be.

17:48That's not fair, Lacey.

17:50And what's not fair about that?

17:52Your boss just wraps you over the knuckles and you just throw on the towel?

17:57God forbid us all, we break one rule.

18:00There has not been one minute where I have not been investigating this case.

18:06I don't want to hear it.

18:07And I've kept it from you because you're my daughter and I'm trying to keep you out of trouble.

18:15There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe.

18:18So no more secrets, okay?

18:25I need you to make that deal.

18:27You have to agree to that as well.

18:31Okay, that's fair.

18:32Just remember, we have no idea what Wendell is capable of.

18:44So you need to stay away from him and let me handle this.

18:49What's going on?

19:00Still no word from Wendell.

19:02Lacey's agreed.

19:03Putting any more pressure on Wendell is just too risky.

19:06Isn't that right?

19:08And you're 100% on board with this?

19:09Yes.

19:10But only because Dad promised to keep us in the loop in the investigation.

19:14I thought you were ordered to back off on that.

19:15I was ordered, but I'm taking matters into my own hands.

19:19And no one can find out about that.

19:21Understood?

19:21No one.

19:25Are you sure this is the right thing to do?

19:26No, I'm not sure.

19:27But no one else is going to fight for this.

19:30Alright.

19:30As long as you're careful.

19:34At least now we're all on the same page.

19:37Took us a while.

19:40I've got to head off.

19:42Are we all good?

19:43We're good, Dad.

19:45Alright, I need to go to work as well.

19:51Hey, hang on.

19:52I need to talk to you for a second.

19:53What now?

19:55I need you to go back to hypnotherapy.

19:57I am.

19:58I have another appointment booked.

19:59How soon?

20:00A few weeks.

20:02No, that's not going to cut it.

20:03We need answers now.

20:04I thought you just agreed to let Dad handle it.

20:06I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell.

20:08But that doesn't mean that me and you can't take matters into our own hands.

20:11Look, if you keep doing this, imagine how much you'll remember.

20:17You'll never believe it.

20:29They let me out.

20:31Babe?

20:32How'd you go with that pregnancy journal?

20:34Leave enough pages for the next nine months?

20:36Hey.

20:42What's the matter?

20:44I'm bleeding.

20:56This is really happening, isn't it?

20:59It looks like it.

21:00Hey, what's going on?

21:02I think I'm losing the baby.

21:04What?

21:04I'll go to the wedding.

21:10I'm going to call Eden right now and tell her that we can't make it.

21:13No, no, no.

21:14You have to go.

21:15I can't just leave you.

21:16It's fine.

21:17I'm going to be all right.

21:18I'll go to the wedding.
