00:00Closer each day, home in no way
00:06How are we doing with our vows?
00:09My vows are done.
00:11Already?
00:12Yeah.
00:13Eden, where are you at?
00:15I haven't started yet.
00:17Really?
00:18Well, you better get a wriggle on,
00:20because before you know it, you'll blink and you'll be walking down the aisle.
00:23Okay, now, Joel, I'll get you to really relax.
00:25Now you're driving along Baxter Creek Road.
00:28There's another car, it's coming the other way.
00:30It's going too fast, it's swerving.
00:33Can you describe the vehicle?
00:35It's a great Mercedes.
00:37The C&M on the license plate.
00:39Does she remember any details about the vehicle?
00:41A description, partial plates.
00:44We're trying to track it down now.
00:45I don't actually know how your dad's going with the search here.
00:48He is searching, right?
00:49Then it's only a matter of time before he finds the guy and locks him up.
00:52It's not that simple, sorry.
00:53Why not?
00:54Well, witness accounts given under hypnosis aren't admissible in court.
00:56Well, we're at a dead end now.
00:58There's nothing we can do.
00:59There's always something we can do.
01:04No, I'm not going to give you any more details, so would you stop asking?
01:07Yes, but when you say best hen's party ever,
01:09you haven't organised anything extravagant, have you?
01:11Define extravagant.
01:12Okay, just remember who you're planning this for.
01:14Oh, would you relax?
01:15I'm your maid of honour.
01:16And just this stuff, I've got this.
01:17Yeah, why does that make me more nervous?
01:19Hey, here she is, the bride-to-be.
01:21Oh, and the maid of honour, thank you very much.
01:22Must have counted down the days.
01:23Bonjour, mademoiselle.
01:25Hey, John.
01:26Can't stay and chat, I'm chasing down Jennifer for your legal paperwork.
01:29Okay, we're only a week out from the wedding.
01:30Should I be worried?
01:31I'll leave you to it.
01:32No, no, no, not at all, not at all.
01:34I've got it all in hand.
01:35However, I was going to ask you how you're going with your bowels.
01:37Yeah, well, it'd be better if you stopped hassling me about it.
01:39Okay, no pressure.
01:40Well, a little bit of pressure, as you say, Tony.
01:42Yep, yep, yep.
01:43Bye, John.
01:44Okay, bye, John.
01:45You heard him.
01:46Better get cracking.
01:47Don't you start?
01:49Maybe this will help.
01:52Listen, I'm all for finding this driver, but I'm not sure what we can do when all we've
01:59got is my one broken memory of what happened.
02:02We can still use it, Jo.
02:04How?
02:05Same way as Dad.
02:07But we're not cops.
02:08How are we supposed to do that?
02:09No, but you live with one.
02:11So?
02:12Let me spell this out for you.
02:15Dad is investigating this.
02:17I know that.
02:19So you need to keep an eye on him and figure out what he knows.
02:21You're not seriously suggesting I spy on him, are you?
02:24Don't think of it as spying.
02:26Just think of it as being, like, really curious.
02:29You're forgetting that Dad is a human lie detector and he'll figure me out in three seconds.
02:33Okay, well, you need to try something.
02:34Because he's not going to give us any information on his own.
02:38This is the closest we've been.
02:43Fine.
02:43I'll see what I can find out.
02:48Hey, Sarge.
02:49Newman.
02:51Sarge, actually, do you reckon we can have a quick chat?
02:54Please, keep Dad open.
02:55You won't be here long.
02:57What is it?
02:59I wanted to apologise about the situation with Lacey.
03:02I wasn't aware that she was in the dark about Joe's hypnotherapy and I assumed that you guys...
03:06Well, you know what they say about assumptions, don't you, Senior Constable?
03:10Now, let me make this very, very clear for you.
03:13When it comes to my daughters, you keep your mouth shut.
03:17Got it?
03:17Yes, Sarge.
03:19Has someone been in my office?
03:21I wouldn't know.
03:22I've only just clocked on.
03:23Just a coffee, thank you, Leah.
03:31I can't, uh...
03:31Stay long, John.
03:32We know.
03:33I'll bring it over.
03:35How are things going with the wedding playing?
03:37Oh, a few premarital nerves.
03:38Nothing to worry about.
03:39I do recall you having some of that.
03:41Um, organising an entire secret wedding.
03:44When did you do that to me?
03:45Yeah, I was a bit shaky myself.
03:47My first ever wedding to officiate.
03:50Isn't it the only wedding that you've officiated?
03:52Anyway, I'd like to thank you both for helping me find my calling.
03:57Merci, ma sri.
03:58Well, we were lucky to have you, and I reckon Cash and Eden will be too.
04:01So, how are you coming along with the cake?
04:02You settled on a design yet?
04:04Am I meant to be making the cake?
04:05Nobody told me that.
04:07Oh, then, I've forgotten to ask you.
04:09Look, with Cash away, Eden's been managing a lot on her own.
04:11Oh, I'll give her a call now.
04:13No, bad idea.
04:14No, no, no.
04:14She's got enough on her plate.
04:15So, what am I supposed to do?
04:17Leave it with me, and I'll get the details.
04:19But I know they're going traditional.
04:22And what date was the car sold?
04:26That's great.
04:27Thanks very much.
04:28Sarge, not now, Newman.
04:29That was the tech team.
04:30They've traced a vehicle based on the partial plates I remembered.
04:34That's the previously registered owner.
04:35Craig Wendell.
04:37He's a local councillor for Red Gum Falls, which is the area where the accident happened, right?
04:40Yeah.
04:41Okay.
04:41It also says that he sold the vehicle six days after the accident, which could be a coincidence.
04:46Or not.
04:46And I understand that this is close to home for you, Sarge, so I'm happy to look into this.
04:51I can handle it.
04:52And I'd appreciate you keeping the details to yourself this time.
04:56You're not going to tell Joe and Lacey about this?
04:57We're done here.
05:00Hey.
05:01Hey, Dan.
05:02Time for your break, isn't it, Newman?
05:08How are you?
05:08You okay?
05:09Yeah, I'm fine.
05:11I just wanted to see if you have any leads in the case.
05:15Nothing solid yet.
05:17Anything unsolid?
05:19You know I can't give out details about an investigation.
05:22That information is on a need-to-know basis.
05:25Right.
05:26Sorry.
05:26It's okay.
05:28Look, I've got work to do.
05:29I'll see you at home later.
05:31Okay.
05:31Okay.
05:40Here you go.
05:47To get the creative juices flowing.
05:49Yeah, I hope that's a double shot because I've got nothing.
05:51Why is this so hard?
05:53Because writing from the heart is hard.
05:55Hmm.
05:56I guess she didn't seem to have any trouble.
05:59On a separate unrelated note, do you happen to have a picture of him I could use?
06:03A what?
06:04Just because.
06:05This isn't for the hens, is it?
06:07Oh, look, your fiancé's coming.
06:09Oh.
06:10I'm going to grab your order.
06:12Hey, what are you doing?
06:13Hey.
06:14Oh, nothing.
06:15Nothing in business.
06:16Fails.
06:18Yes, okay.
06:19I'm just having a bit of writer's block, but maybe if you showed me yours, it could help.
06:23You know, just to make sure we're not saying the same thing.
06:25Yeah, it's a good try, but no.
06:26Here you go.
06:28Yep.
06:29You're the worst.
06:30It's still going to hurt me.
06:31Bye.
06:32Mm-hmm.
06:35That's it.
06:36I'm screwed.
06:37As much as I'm enjoying this,
06:39I will say it's weird to see you guys giving the secrets from each other for a change.
06:46What you want to do?
06:51What you want to do?
06:54What you want to do?
06:58What you want to do?
07:00What are you up to?
07:28I'm not buying that.
07:41I swear, I just wanted to surprise my fiancé after work.
07:45With what?
07:46A trash bedroom?
07:47No.
07:47No.
07:47I just...
07:48If you must know, I was just looking for my lingerie, okay?
07:52You sure you weren't just looking for his wedding vows?
07:54What are you doing here, anyway?
07:56Well, I had to get some details about the wedding cake to give to Leah.
07:59Leah, what...
07:59You've got to give her time to make the thing.
08:01I mean, have you even chosen a flavour yet?
08:03Leah's not making our cake, okay?
08:04The venue is taking care of it.
08:06I beg your pardon?
08:08Our cake is included in the venue's catering package.
08:11You didn't tell me that.
08:13Why would I?
08:15Oh, dear.
08:16Okay, um...
08:17It's all right.
08:18It's okay.
08:18Um...
08:19Okay, I'll just get going then.
08:25After you.
08:26Please don't tell Cash.
08:35Please don't, Snoop.
08:42And you sold the Mercedes in June.
08:46Would you mind meeting face to face to answer a few questions?
08:51Yeah.
08:52I can, uh, come to you, or you can come here to Yabby Creek Police Station.
08:56Well, that's great.
08:59I appreciate that.
09:01Okay, thanks for your time.
09:02I'll see you then.
09:05What's this?
09:06Oh, this is just a bit of food for you.
09:08Keep you going.
09:10Is that Councillor Wendell?
09:12Yeah.
09:13He's agreed to come in for a chat tomorrow.
09:15You must have a lot going through your head right now.
09:17No, more than usual.
09:18He could be the other driver.
09:19That would be huge.
09:22It would.
09:23But we can't jump to those kinds of conclusions.
09:25Sure.
09:25And we both know that Joe's memory won't hold up in court.
09:29You need to place this guy at the scene of the accident.
09:31That's right.
09:33Listen, share this with the others.
09:35I've got work to do.
09:37Thanks anyway.
09:38Sure.
09:38Dad is a vault.
09:47I couldn't get anything out of him.
09:48So do you think he's hiding something from you?
09:51Honestly, yeah, I do.
09:53But he did his whole need-to-know-basis schtick.
09:56You were involved in the accident.
09:57You need to know too.
09:59Like, I didn't think of it like that.
10:02Well, you've never really been good at these things, so...
10:05What?
10:05Pushing people for what I want?
10:06Yeah, that is more your area of expertise.
10:08Okay, fair call.
10:10Just tell me exactly what he said.
10:13Please?
10:13Hey!
10:15This is a nice surprise.
10:17I was just telling Lacey about my hypnotherapy session.
10:21Well, since you weren't telling me anything, I thought I'd pick her brains.
10:24But now that you're here, another car, partial plates.
10:27Surely that gives you something to work with?
10:29One can only hope.
10:31So, you hungry?
10:32I'd rustle something up.
10:34Actually, it's getting kind of late.
10:35I should get going.
10:38Lacey, you've got a room here, you know, if you want to stay.
10:42Theo will be wondering where I am.
10:45Bye.
10:47Bye.
10:51I think I might have messed that up for you.
10:53It's okay.
10:54She was about to leave anyway.
10:56Still, it's progress.
10:57It's a sight for sore eyes, seeing you two together again.
11:06I thought you were going home.
11:09Yeah.
11:10Yeah, I did.
11:10I did.
11:11And you're back here because...
11:14Long story.
11:17I suck at this.
11:20Come on, it can't be that hard.
11:22Oh, Cash, I love you so much.
11:24I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
11:26Okay, you're not helping whatsoever.
11:28Not at all.
11:29Okay, well, try copying something online then.
11:31Cash, it sounds better than that.
11:32Okay.
11:33Well, why do you love him?
11:36Because he's the best guy in the world.
11:39He's kind and generous and this is my problem.
11:47How do I include every reason I love him into a few sentences?
11:51I don't know, Rani.
11:53But you are seriously making this maid of honor thing a real labor of love.
11:58You're welcome.
11:59For nothing.
11:59I just want to feel you need us.
12:02I just want to feel you closer, closer to you.
12:07Oh, can I say I'm gonna tell you?
12:10Oh, can I say I'm gonna tell you?
12:13Does anyone even realize how hard it is to put a wedding cake together?
12:17You don't just do it in five minutes.
12:18Okay, so you haven't heard anything?
12:20Nothing.
12:20Zero details.
12:23Cash, hi.
12:23Hey.
12:24Coffee?
12:25I'd love one, thanks.
12:26And one for Eden as well.
12:27Already on husband duty.
12:29Yeah.
12:29Now that you're here, I just want to apologize for the whole wedding cake fiasco.
12:33Sorry?
12:33I didn't realize you guys wanted me to make a cake, but it's all right, I'm on it.
12:37Sorry, we're not after a cake.
12:38We've got one included in the venue package.
12:40Really?
12:41Yeah, sorry.
12:42I bet your cake would be amazing, though.
12:44It's fine.
12:44I'm glad you guys sorted it out.
12:46It gives me more time to worry about what I'm gonna wear.
12:48I'll bring the coffees out.
12:51Hey, how you going?
12:52At least you're off the hook.
12:53Yeah, but I lost a night's sleep.
12:55John has got some serious explaining to do.
12:59I'll be as quick as I can.
13:01Councillor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Langley.
13:06That's right.
13:07Thanks for coming in.
13:08Always got time for the boys in blue.
13:11Although I do need to get to a meeting in an hour.
13:13I hope that's okay.
13:14That's fine.
13:14We shouldn't take too long.
13:16Come through.
13:20So, this is about my old work car?
13:24Yeah, I had some questions regarding a car accident in June two years ago on Baxter Creek Road.
13:30Car accident?
13:32Oh, I hope no one was hurt.
13:34Unfortunately, yes.
13:35There was a fatality.
13:36No, I'm sorry to hear that, but I don't quite know what this has got to do with me.
13:42Take a seat.
13:43Oh, my God.
13:45I can't stand for you.
13:48Oh, my God.

16:55this has got to do with me we have a partial number played that matches the gray mercedes you
17:00owned at the time i just need to ascertain whether there is any chance that it could have been that
17:05car at the scene of the accident look i suppose the thing is plenty of my team have access to my
17:12work car so i could tell who was driving on any given day can i ask why it's taken two years for
17:18this witness to come forward well that's not relevant to this interview
17:20says here you sold the car six days after the accident why was that i swap my cars out every
17:29couple of years makes financial sense where were you on the day of the accident i don't know i'll
17:36have to check approximately 2 30 p.m on the 11th of june i can wait well i would have to talk to
17:44my assistant i mean can you remember where you were two years ago yes i was receiving the worst phone
17:50call of my life you knew the victim what makes you ask that well in my line of work we uh we learn to
18:01read people i can relate to that in any case i don't think i'm going to be any use to you sergeant
18:09being elected official you'd have calendars and schedules from around that time right and a list of
18:17staff members who had access to that vehicle well i don't have that information on hand but i know i
18:23can um get my team to look into it could you that would be really helpful unfortunately i need to get
18:30to that meeting but i will uh have my office contact you appreciate your time
18:37hey who was that no one what are you doing here just thought i'd bring you a coffee thanks
19:04i hope you're hungry oh yeah we are we have worked up an appetite that's disgusting and not what i meant
19:28can you guys give me a sec yeah
19:30hey how'd you go with the interview this morning wasn't as productive as i hoped
19:39didn't get the answers that you wanted then no no that feeling does he have a file
19:45no record not even a driving infringement and he says he doesn't remember where he was on the day of
19:52the accident what's he got telling you he's slippery but he's smart he had an answer for everything but
20:01nothing useful there's one of those guys he also seemed to know a little more than he should
20:06that was quick what happened did you get intel from dad no but i saw the guy he interviewed and
20:19something weird happened weird how it was like he recognized me did you recognize him no but when he
20:29saw me he looked scared did dad say who he was what do you think okay well we need to ask cash he
20:37wasn't on shift when the guy was being interviewed all right we're one of the other officers then they
20:40all answer to dad as if they're going to tell us anything what other bright ideas do you have i don't
20:45have any bright ideas if this guy owned the car that you saw he is probably the guy who killed mum
20:49and we've got to figure out who he is
20:52this is really happening isn't it
21:09i love you i love you too
21:15this is the best day of my life
