00:02Closer each day
00:05Home and away
00:09Police!
00:10We have a warrant to search supremacists.
00:13Sarge, I found this under the cot.
00:15You are under arrest for possession of a prohibited drug.
00:17That's not mine! David, that's not mine!
00:19No! That's not mine!
00:20But if you do, it may be used in evidence against you.
00:23Do you understand?
00:23Please Dad, this has to be some kind of mistake.
00:26He had a drug stash.
00:27Yeah, I know. I was there. I saw it.
00:28But I need to talk to him.
00:30Go home, Joe.
00:31Do you think it's possible that my mum plant those drugs?
00:34Yes, I do. And so does Tarnet.
00:36If we don't find her improve on innocent, I could miss years of Archie's life.
00:39You understand?
00:40I understand, Tarnet.
00:41Just tell me, do you know anything about where she is?
00:43Not yet.
00:44Try to remember your responsibilities.
00:46In these four walls, it's to the uniform, not your mate.
00:50Still can't believe I made bail.
00:52That was a lot of money, mate. I owe you big time.
00:54I know. Don't worry about it. We're family.
00:56Taking you off the case.
00:57Well, you can't actually do that, Sergeant.
00:59You're way too close to this.
01:00Just listen. Listen for a sec, David. Not actually.
01:02Human, this is enough for discussion.
01:04My decision is final.
01:16Oh, no. Wait. I'll get this.
01:18Oh, no. I ordered one for cash as well.
01:20That's fine. He deserves a free coffee, especially after posting Tarnet's bail.
01:24Thanks so much for keeping me in the loop on everything, by the way.
01:27Oh, girls. I heard about Tarnet. He's not involved with drugs, is he?
01:31No, absolutely not. He would never touch this stuff.
01:35Anyway, we'd better get this to cash.
01:37Thanks, Maz. Bye, Tarnet.
01:41Hey. Hey.
01:42How'd you go with Archie?
01:43Ah, yeah, good. Good. Tarnet was really happy to see him.
01:46I bet. Here, coffee.
01:48How's everything going with the investigation?
01:49Have you made any progress into figuring out what's happened?
01:52Ah, you should probably ask your father about that one.
01:55Ah, it might surprise you to know he's been pretty stingy with the details.
01:58Well, that actually doesn't surprise me, but...
02:01Look, we're both doing our best to sort it out.
02:05Hey, why don't you go and see Tarnet now?
02:08Are you sure?
02:09Yeah, I'm sure he would love to see you.
02:11I can give you some time before I pick up Archie later.
02:15Okay. That'd be great. Thanks. I'll see you then.
02:17See ya.
02:21What aren't you saying?
02:25Let's go for a walk.
02:30There you go. Ready? Go down.
02:36Yeah.
02:39Oh, that's a good grip, boy.
02:41You're going to be stronger than your old man soon.
02:43Yeah, go down. Yes, you will.
02:48Oh, yeah.
02:50Hey, you hungry? You hungry?
02:52Yeah? Yeah, you are.
02:54All right, let's go get a feed, eh?
02:56Come on.
02:58Feed time. Ready?
03:01Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
03:02And in we go.
03:05Let's see what your mum packed for you.
03:07Dad.
03:07What do you feel like?
03:08Dad.
03:09Yes, I'm here.
03:11There we go.
03:12You're strapped up, eh?
03:13Ready to blast off, mate?
03:15Ready to blast off, yeah?
03:16Hey.
03:18Hey.
03:19Mind if I crash your time with Archie?
03:21No, no. Come in.
03:26Hey.
03:27Hey.
03:28I've been meaning to call you to see if you're okay.
03:30See if I'm okay.
03:31I'm not the one who got arrested.
03:33Yeah, but still, it was your dad running the show.
03:34That would have been hard for you.
03:36Yeah, I've had better days.
03:39Well, this place cleaned up all right.
03:41Yeah, yeah.
03:42Eden and Abby gave it a once over.
03:46Is everything all right?
03:48Look, I just need to ask.
03:51Were those drugs yours?
03:53Because all your friends are saying you're innocent,
03:54but I know my daddy wouldn't be investigating if there wasn't anything to look at.
03:57Listen, listen.
03:57I promise you, they're not mine.
04:02Okay.
04:04Look, I understand how this looks,
04:05but I have never and I would never have anything to do with drugs.
04:09And I swear that on Archie.
04:12I believe you.
04:15Sorry.
04:15You shouldn't have to defend yourself to me.
04:17Hey, I'd probably be asking the same thing if the roles were reversed.
04:25I missed you.
04:26Well, even though you thought I was guilty.
04:29I missed you too.
04:33No!
04:44How can he kick you off the case like that?
04:46Because he's a sergeant.
04:47He can do what he wants.
04:48That's not fair.
04:49You haven't done anything wrong.
04:50No, technically no, but he knows me and Tarnia are mates and I went to court with him.
04:55So?
04:56And I posted his bail.
05:01So what happens now?
05:02Will David even bother looking for my mum if you're not there to push him?
05:05I am going to continue looking for your mum.
05:08How are you going to do that without David knowing?
05:10I'm just going to have to be careful about it.
05:12Two out of the three leads you've given me have gone nowhere,
05:14but I've still got to check out your aunt's place in Tasmania.
05:17I've been calling mum, but she hasn't answered, of course.
05:21I left a bunch of messages asking her to call me back.
05:24That's good.
05:25I know it's a long shot, but I just don't know what else to do.
05:29I've found Kerry once before.
05:31I reckon I can find her again.
06:00Everything all right, Newman?
06:02Uh, yeah, everything's fine.
06:07No, I'm just having a problem logging onto the database.
06:09I'm just going to give IT a call.
06:10I wouldn't bother.
06:11I asked them to block your access to the database.
06:14Why?
06:15Why do you think?
06:18Sarge, how am I supposed to do my job?
06:20Well, your colleagues still have access.
06:22Any processing you require, you can ask one of them for help.
06:25Have a good evening.
06:33So how far from home are you allowed to go?
06:35Um, about as far as work and to Harper's Place.
06:38But if I go any further than that, then they locked me up again.
06:42Okay, so what happened?
06:44I believe you when you say the drugs aren't yours,
06:46but how did they end up under Archie's cot?
06:48Well, I have a theory.
06:51Hey, Harper.
06:55Hey.
06:56Hope I gave you guys enough time.
06:58Just good stuff ready.
07:02How are you?
07:05Honestly, been better.
07:07I'm sorry, Tana.
07:09I never thought having Mum in town would lead to anything like this.
07:12No big surprise though, is it?
07:13I'm going to give you guys some space to just go out and get some takeaway.
07:17Sure, thank you.
07:24Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
07:26I'm not going to make you feel better about this.
07:27I'm not expecting you to.
07:29I just know that I would take it all back if I could.
07:32I told you right from the start that this was a bad call.
07:36Yeah, I know.
07:37Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm in?
07:39These charges could take me away from Archie for the next 15 years.
07:42Yeah, I'm...
07:42I'm going to do everything I can to fix it.
07:45I think...
07:47I'll go.
07:50I'll go.
07:52I'll go.
07:56I'm not going to do anything.
07:59Come on.
08:00I'll see you soon, okay?
08:04It's okay.
08:06It's okay.
08:08It's okay.
08:11It's on air.
08:12Just go.
08:23You're order won't be long, David.
08:25No rush, Miss.
08:25Okay.
08:26Well, hi, darling.
08:27What can I get you?
08:28I heard you took cash off Tarneth's case.
08:32I don't think that's any of your business.
08:35Tarneth, the father of my child, it's absolutely my business.
08:38I don't think this is the place for this conversation.
08:40I just think it's a bit rich that you're crying conflict of interest.
08:43No one's crying, Hubba.
08:44Are you sure you're not targeting Tarneth?
08:45No, I'm not.
08:46Is he sleeping with your daughter?
08:47That's a conflict of interest.
08:51This is a criminal investigation.
08:53You should know better than to get involved.
08:56Okay.
08:59Sorry, Maz, I'm not exactly hungry.
09:12Dave.
09:14Glad I ran into you.
09:16Wanted to check in.
09:18You mind if I join you?
09:20can't stop him but I'll warn you I'm not much company yeah wouldn't blame you

09:52told you okay okay thank you I'll take that up with sergeant Lange and myself
10:03please I really need to talk to him hey let her through all right thanks
10:10everything okay yeah yeah yeah everything's fine what are you doing here I just wanted to let you
10:19know that I gave David a serve about kicking you off the case oh bud come on it wasn't my
10:24finest
10:24moment I let anger get the better of me I just hope it doesn't come back on you yeah okay
10:29thank
10:29you for the heads up I think that ship might have sailed a couple of hours ago what do you
10:35mean
10:36well I tried to run a trick on your aunt's address and turns outside just locked me out of the
10:39system
10:40and I've just found out that he's blocked my access to your mother's phone and her bank records too
10:44well how are you gonna find her now I got no idea sorry why are you apologizing it's my fault
10:54everything is so messed up for Tana and now you're in trouble oh no don't worry about me
10:58only I could turn back the clock hey I never should have asked you to look for my parents
11:02so you had good intentions yeah I wanted Archie to have grandparents and now he's not even gonna
11:07have a dad Harper's mom yeah she's a recovering drug addict so she'd know where to get this stuff
11:18and as you know she's not my biggest fan what it just makes so much sense have you told my
11:27dad all
11:27this yeah and cash he's been trying to track her down too well I'll talk to dad I'll tell him
11:32that
11:32the day they found the drugs I saw her lose it at you maybe I don't know maybe you should
11:36just not
11:37get involved okay listen to me I know my dad's not the biggest fan of us but he is a
11:42good cop he's
11:43fair and once he has all the pieces of information he needs do you really believe that yes I do
11:51I don't know what to believe anymore when Harper was here so I kind of chewed her head off
11:58she'll understand she just listened to me when I told her not to find her mum none of this would
12:04be
12:04happening I'm sorry I just I don't know how to feel about it right now hey hey come here
12:16everything's gonna be okay all right I promise
12:25right uh humanly was there any truth to what Harper said cheers
12:33you'll have to be more specific
12:36is your connection to Joe clouding your judgment and you would be in good company if it was believe
12:42me mate I have lost my head of my daughter I'm not targeting darling truth is I don't know if
12:49he's
12:50guilty or not a lot of people reckon he's innocent oh yeah they've told me
12:57mate we found drugs in the guy's house I can't ignore that I have to conduct a thorough investigation
13:05so the fact that he's dating your daughter's got no effect on you whatsoever no I didn't say that
13:12truth is it scares the hell out of me whatever's going on for Tane you'd never put Joe in danger
13:19but it's not her safety I'm worried about after everything she's been through the last thing I want is for
13:27her to have to visit a boyfriend in prison for the next decade or more
13:31but that's not going to stop me doing my job
13:49seriously
13:52it's late you better go see who that is
13:55I'm not going anywhere go
14:08Cass hey hey what's up am I interrupting something
14:11I am interrupting I'm gonna come back
14:14that's fine come on come on ma'am there's a reason why you're so late
14:18yeah hey hey Joe um I was hoping that I could have a private conversation with you
14:24well if it has anything to do with Kerry I've told Joe everything
14:28all right um I've got some bad news and I wanted you to hear it from me
14:34yeah I've been kicked off the case
14:39my dad right yeah yeah serge reckons Tane and I are too close
14:44and the worst part is I've been officially blocked from using police resources which means I can't even track down
14:48Kerry on my own
14:50so what does this mean
14:52it means that there's no one in the case who believes I'm innocent
15:07it was just so complicated and awful I mean Dustin will tell you he was there
15:12tell you what Marilyn's just telling me about uh Harper and David's blue
15:17yeah that was uh pretty rough he's doing it tough
15:20well he's not the only one I mean there's good to tear that family apart but
15:24no wait wait he didn't mean it he's just doing his job just keep it down eh

16:22oh thank you
16:23come on pups
16:30hey
16:32man thanks for coming around so quick
16:33yeah no problem
16:35what's going on
16:37well look
16:39I've been up all night trying to find another way to track down your mum and I think I might
16:42be on to something
16:43what are you thinking
16:44well if I can't find Kerry maybe I can find the person who supplied her the drugs
16:49that feels like a long shot
16:50yeah I know but if I can link the drugs to your mum or if I can get the dealer
16:53to say that they don't know darn air
16:54then I'm one step closer to clearing his name
16:56okay so how do we even start looking for this person
16:59well
17:00addicts are creatures of habit
17:02and if your mother had a regular supplier back in the day
17:05she might have gone back to the same person
17:07exactly
17:09so
17:10do you by any chance remember where your parents used to buy their drugs
17:13that was over ten years ago
17:15yeah I know
17:15yeah I know anything you give me could be useful
17:17give me a name
17:19give me a face
17:21was there anybody who regularly came around the house
17:25yeah I can think of a few people actually
17:28I don't care about Matheson's fine bank records right now
17:31just focus on paritas for the moment
17:35is Senior Constable Newman in this morning?
17:39no no I'm just wondering

18:31to say you wouldn't be home last night
18:32I'm an adult
18:33I don't need to keep you updated all the time
18:35I don't think it's appropriate
18:36for you to be here
18:37at least until the case is resolved
18:39I don't care what you think
18:40have you forgotten what we talked about?
18:42I know Tane
18:43and I know he's innocent
18:45and I know you're making life really difficult for him at the moment
18:48and who's feeding you that rubbish?
18:50I'm saying that
18:50what have you done about Carrie Matheson?
18:52are you trying to track her down?
18:53I'm not discussing that with you
18:55then we have nothing to talk about
