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 for 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. I'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, you 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.
04:51No, technically no, but he knows me and Tania are mates
04:53and I went to court with him.
04:55So?
04:56And I posted his bail.
04:58Oh.
04:59Oh.
05:27Mm.
05:27I just don't know what else to do.
05:28Mm.
05:29I found Kerry once before.
05:31I reckon I can find her again.
06:00Everything all right, Newman?
06:01Uh, 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?
06:20Will 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 gonna, um, give you guys some space.
07:15Just 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 gonna 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.
07:42I'm...
07:43I'm gonna do everything I can to fix it.
07:45I think it's me!
07:47Oh, I got it.
07:48I got it.
07:50I got it.
07:52I got it.
07:53I got it.
07:56I got it.
07:58Come on.
08:00I'll see you soon, okay?
08:04It's okay.
08:05It's okay.
08:08It's okay.
08:11It's okay.
08:11Tana.
08:12Just go.
08:23Your 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 Tana's case.
08:32I don't think that's any of your business.
08:35Tana, the father of my child, it's absolutely my business.
08:38I don't think this is the place for this conversation, Harper.
08:40I just think it's a bit rich that you're crying conflict of interest.
08:43No one's crying, Harper.
08:44Are you sure you're not targeting Tana?
08:45No, I'm not targeting.
08:46Because he's sleeping with your daughter.
08:48That's a conflict of interest.
08:51This is a criminal investigation.
08:53You should know better than to get involved.
08:57Okay.
08:59Sorry, Maz, I'm not exactly hungry.
09:02Ooh, ooh, ooh
09:08Hey!
09:13Hey!
09:14I ran into you wanted to check in you mind if I join you can't stop him but I
09:21warned you I'm not much company yeah I wouldn't blame you after the way

09:31drink I'll take both so I'm just chasing up
09:38Terry Matheson's phone records where are we at with those okay great could you

10:06all right thanks everything okay yeah yeah yeah everything's fine
10:14what are you doing here I just wanted to let you know that I gave David a serve about
10:21kicking you off the case oh bud come on it wasn't my finest moment I let anger get the
10:26better of me I just hope it doesn't come back on you yeah okay thank you for the
10:30heads up I think that ship might have sailed a couple of hours ago what do you mean oh I
10:36tried
10:36to run a trick on your aunt's address and turns outside just locked me out of the system and I've
10:40just found out that he's blocked my access to your mother's phone and her bank records too well
10:45how are you gonna find her now I got no idea sorry why are you apologizing it's my fault everything
10:55he's so messed up for Tana and now you're in trouble oh no don't worry about me only I could
10:59turn back the clock hey I never should have asked you to look for my parents you had good intentions
11:04yeah
11:04I wanted Archie to have grandparents and now he's not even gonna have a dad
11:14Harper's mom yeah she's a recovering drug addict so she'd know where to get the stuff and as you know
11:19she's not my biggest fan what it just makes so much sense have you told my dad all this yeah
11:28and
11:29cash he's been trying to track her down too well I'll talk to dad I'll tell him that the day
11:32they
11:33found the drugs I saw her lose it at you maybe maybe you should just not get involved okay listen
11:38to me I know my dad's not the biggest fan of us but he is a good cop he's fair
11:43and once he has all
11:45the pieces of information he needs do you really believe that yes I do I don't know what to believe
11:52anymore when Harper was here I kind of chewed her head off she'll understand she just listened to me
12:02when I told her not to find her mum none of us would be happening I'm sorry I just I
12:08don't know how to
12:08feel about her right now hey hey hey come here everything's gonna be okay all right I promise
12:25wait a minute was there any truth to what Harper said cheers
12:33you'll have to be more specific is your connection to Joe clouding your judgment and you would be in
12:40good company if it was believe me mate I have lost my head of my daughter I'm not targeting darling
12:48truth is I don't know if he's guilty or not a lot of people reckon he's innocent oh yeah they've
12:54told 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
13:19that's not her safety I'm worried about after everything she's been through the last thing I want
13:27is for her to have to visit a boyfriend in prison for the next decade or more but that's not
13:32going
13:32to stop me doing my job seriously it's late you better go see who that is I'm not going anywhere
13:57go
14:08cash hey hey what's up am I interrupting something uh I am I'm gonna come back that's
14:14fine come on come on man there's a reason why you're so late yeah hey hey Joe um I was
14:22hoping
14:23that I could have a private conversation with you well if it has anything to do with Kerry I've told
14:26Joe
14:27everything all right um I've got some bad news and I wanted you to hear it from me yeah I've
14:35been
14:35kicked off the case my dad right yeah yeah Sarge reckons Tane and I are too close and the worst
14:45part
14:45is I've been officially blocked from using police resources which means I can't even track down Kerry
14:49on my own so what does this mean it means that there's no one on the case who believes I'm
14:55innocent
15:07it was just so complicated and awful I mean Dustin will tell you he was there tell you what
15:14Marilyn's just telling me about uh Harper and David's blue that was uh pretty rough he's doing
15:20it tough well he's not the only one I mean this could tear that family apart but no way he
15:25didn't
15:25mean it he's just doing his job just keep it down hey hey love hi morning hi it's all right
15:32little
15:32man hey it's all right little bloke woke up on the wrong side hey oh he's teething I've got a
15:38toy
15:39here somewhere for him do you want to give him to me to distract him for a bit while you
15:42find the toy
15:43oh be my guest oh be my guest it's all right hey hey little matey those little chompers giving
15:55you a bit of curry have they at least you've got some ah I'm under the rescue
16:04hey that's our boy thanks Al you all right yeah uh nice would you and I'll be able to look
16:17after
16:17Archie for a little while yeah of course yeah I don't think that's a problem thank you I'll do that
16:31hey man thanks for coming around so quick yeah no problem what's going on well look I've been up
16:39all night trying to find another way to track down your mum and I think I might be on to
16:42something
16:43what are you thinking well if I can't find Kerry maybe I can find the person who supplied her the
16:48drugs it feels like a long shot yeah I know but if I can link the drugs to your mum
16:52or if I can get
16:53the dealer to say that they don't know darn it then I'm one step closer to clearing his name
16:56okay so how do we even start looking for this person well addicts are creatures of habit and if
17:03your mother had a regular supplier back in the day she might have gone back to the same person exactly
17:10so do you by any chance remember where your parents used to buy their drugs that was over 10 years
17:14ago
17:15yeah I know and I hope anything you give me could be useful you give me a name give me
17:19a face was
17:21there anybody who regularly came around the house yeah I can think of a few people actually I don't care
17:29about Matheson's fine bank records right now just focus on part of tasks for the moment I see any
17:35Constable Newman in this morning no no I'm just wondering all right well I'll see you there soon
17:45hey Joe just making coffee you want one
17:53sweetheart you awake
18:00Joe

18:29the leaf sent me a text message to say you wouldn't be home last night I'm an adult I don't
18:34need to keep you updated all the time I don't think it's appropriate for you to be here at least
18:38until the case is resolved I don't care what you think have you forgotten what we talked about I
18:43know Tane and I know he's innocent and I know you're making life really difficult for him at the
18:48moment and who's feeding you that rubbish I'm saying that what have you done about Carrie Matheson
18:52are you trying to track her down I'm not discussing that with you then we have nothing to talk about
18:56Joe
18:57you're smarter than this let's go home no dad you don't get to control everything you can get cash
19:05thrown off the case you can stop missing Tane when he's locked up but you can't stop me being here

20:16fine
20:17you know I never thought of you as the type to pick a fight with family I'm usually not it's
