00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08I've helped me track down an old dealer of Carrie's
00:10so if I can get him to admit that he supplied Carrie,
00:12I've got a shot at proving that she planted the drugs at your place.
00:15Mate, seriously, thank you. Thank you, Cash.
00:18I haven't seen Carrie for years.
00:19Where do you get the drugs from?
00:20The mic called Tony Bonata.
00:22He's given us a name under interview.
00:25He's willing to sign his statement.
00:26We have to take it seriously whether we like it or not.
00:29I think I'm about to get some good news.
00:34You said that following Harper's leads could have cleared my knowledge.
00:36I know I did, but if I knew it was going to go like this,
00:39I wouldn't have chased the lead.
00:40Well, it's easy for you to say.
00:41You're not the one about to spend 15 years of your life in prison, are you?
00:44This AVO will stop Holden Dwyer coming anywhere near you.
00:50I didn't mean to stop you. I just want to talk.
00:53I'm calling, please.
00:54There's someone in my house, 12th Pacific Road, Summer Bay.
00:59Get off now!
01:00You made bail.
01:02I'm so sorry, Lacey.
01:06The whole point of an AVO is to make sure there are consequences if he ever came near me again.
01:11What happened?
01:11I'm sorry. I wish there was a simple answer.
01:15Hey, I was on my way to work when I saw your text. Is everything okay?
01:19Holden was granted bail.
01:21Seriously? How is that even possible, Dad?
01:24Just because he made bail this time doesn't mean he'll get let off when he faces his charges.
01:29He was in our house.
01:31I know.
01:32So then why would they do that?
01:35His solicitor may have had a good rapport with the magistrate.
01:38Maybe the prisons are overcrowded.
01:41Maybe Holden came across as harmless. I don't know.
01:44Yeah, I thought he was harmless too at first.
01:47Right now we need to go and have a conversation about how to keep you safe.
01:51Come straight home after work.
01:52It's okay. I've got to...
01:55Have you spoken to Tania tonight?
01:58No, not since this afternoon.
02:00And I heard you put cash back on the case. Thank you.
02:04You should go and see him after work.
02:07Why?
02:07I'm sure he could do with your support.
02:14I knew it was too good to be true.
02:17I was stupid to think these charges would ever go away.
02:19We both hoped that this was going to land different.
02:21Though I'm going to keep doing whatever I can.
02:23Oh, look, you've done enough.
02:26Hey.
02:28Sorry, I know it's late and Archie's probably asleep.
02:31He can stay the night, but I thought we should celebrate.
02:33Champagne? I'll get the glasses.
02:35So, it went well. Charges dropped.
02:38Actually, Harper.
02:41What happened?
02:43Fred threw Tania under the bus.
02:46Sorry?
02:47He's claiming I'm a supplier.
02:49Wait, what?
02:54So, tracking him down has made things worse?
02:57Why would he even lie about that? I mean, how does he know your name?
03:01My mum told him.
03:03Would she really be able to pull that off though?
03:04Okay.
03:04I don't want to put anything past her.
03:07Tania, why are you serious?
03:08Just get out, Harper.
03:19Okay, here's the plan.
03:21You need to keep a low profile at least until Holden faces court from breaching his AVO.
03:26How long will that be?
03:27It's impossible to say.
03:30Thanks.
03:31In the meantime, I need you to call Marley and cancel all your shifts.
03:36Dad, I have a life and I have commitments and I'm not going to let Holden stop me from doing
03:41that.
03:41I know.
03:42But this is about your safety.
03:43I agree.
03:44It's unfair that you have to change your behaviour when he doesn't have to change his, but...
03:48No, no.
03:49That is absolutely not fair.
03:51And I said to Marley that I would go to work early so that he can finish the books.
03:54I'm sure he'll understand.
03:56So what?
03:56I'm just going to let Holden win.
03:59Fine.
04:00You can go to work, but I want regular check-ins.
04:03And I don't want you walking around alone.
04:06So I'm going to hire you a car.
04:08One that Holden won't recognise.
04:10That's smart.
04:11And I need to find you somewhere else to stay.
04:14He's already contravened his AVO once.
04:17There's no guarantee he won't do it again.
04:20Yep.
04:22Yep.
04:22Okay.
04:35Are you sure Marley won't belong?
04:37Yes, positive.
04:38As soon as he finishes the accounts, he'll be here.
04:41I don't like this.
04:43Yes.
04:44You mentioned that.
04:44I'm your father and I'm just trying to keep you safe.
04:47Dad, relax.
04:48I've got the hire car and I'm going to meet you with the motel afterwards.
04:51This is about keeping control of my life.
04:53We both agreed that that was the right thing to do.
04:55I know.
05:01I've got to go.
05:02Make sure.
05:03I'm going to check in.
05:04Regularly.
05:05Yes, I promise.
05:06Please.
05:07Okay.
05:16Ah, you're here.
05:18You all right, love?
05:19Yeah.
05:20Yeah, I'm fine.
05:21How can I help you?
05:22Oh, a message came through for Marley on the office phone.
05:25One of these foamies was spotted on the far north end of the beach.
05:29Oh, mystery solved.
05:30Marley did mention that one of those had gone missing.
05:33Right.
05:33Must have got washed in on the diet.
05:34Yeah.
05:35Well, I'll go and grab it.
05:36Okay.
05:41Sorry if I kept you up.
05:42The last thing you need after your matchup was me tossing and turning.
05:44I'll cope.
05:46And like I said, this guy's statement isn't necessarily the nail in the coffin.
05:49Jo, I know you're trying to help, but I need to get real here.
05:51Harper's mum set this whole thing up and got this guy to frame you, right?
05:53Yeah, pretty sure, but it's not like we can prove it.
05:55My dad's going to figure it out.
05:59What?
05:59Well, look, no offence, but I don't have as much faith in your dad as you do.
06:03He's fair, okay?
06:07All right, let's get this over there.
06:08Hey, go easy on her, okay?
06:09She can't control her mum any more than I can control my dad.
06:13All right.
06:13Hey, Harper.
06:14Hey.
06:15Hey, little man.
06:16You might be a bit grisly.
06:17You didn't sleep much last night.
06:18It was a rough night for all of us.
06:21Honey, I just wanted to say again how sorry I am.
06:23Look, look, let's just, I don't want to lose it in front of Archie,
06:25so let's have some space between us here.
06:29Hey.
06:30Hey.
06:31Glad I caught you, mate.
06:32Yeah, what's up?
06:33Just got some news from the station.
06:35Oh, yeah?
06:35All right.
06:37They've set your court date.
06:39It's next week.
07:02Hey.
07:07Hey.
07:09Hey.
07:09Hey, hi.
07:17Hey.
07:20Hey.
07:21What do you want?
07:22Why the hell did you call the cops on me?
07:24Why do you keep making everything so difficult?
07:41Mac?
07:42Yeah?
07:43Any chance on a coffee?
07:44Oh, can you come and get it yourself?
07:45I've got to head out in a minute and check on Talnay.
07:47What happened?
07:48Look, I really have to go. Can I tell you later?
07:52Mate, do us a favour.
07:54Make sure Palmer doesn't do anything stupid while I'm down at Martha's.
07:58I can't make any promises.
07:59JP has a mind of his own.
08:01Tell me about it.
08:02Hey, Mr Stewart, before you go, you wouldn't happen to have seen Lacey around.
08:05I thought she would have been here.
08:07No, she's gone up the far north end of the beach to collect a foamy.
08:09Somebody reported it earlier.
08:11Who was it?
08:12They didn't say.
08:16You were in my house without me there, Holden.
08:20What?
08:21So you called the cops because you were scared?
08:23No.
08:24No, that's not it.
08:25You're just saying that because that's what you think I want to hear.
08:27No.
08:29Why don't we go and have a coffee and we can talk this over.
08:32Lacey, I know why you called the cops on me.
08:34It's because you're listening to everyone else.
08:37They're trying to do against me.
08:38Holden, the AVO says that you're not allowed to be this close to me.
08:42Thanks for showing up a call, by the way.
08:43Very supportive girlfriend.
08:45I am not your girlfriend.
08:47Even the magistrate thinks the AVO's a joke.
08:50Why else would she grant me bail?
08:52I don't know.
08:53I don't know.
08:55You know what I can't stop thinking about, Lacey?
08:57If we both died on the train, we'd be together right now.
09:04Ori!
09:05Get away from her!
09:11Lace!
09:12Are you alright?
09:18Yes, and I understand that, but we still have a key person of interest
09:21we've been unable to locate and question.
09:25Forget about it.
09:29Brick wall, Newman.
09:30The DPP rushed this through court.
09:32They're gonna put Tarnay away and I need more time.
09:34They have the evidence they need and unfortunately it all points to Tarnay.
09:38That's what I'm trying to fix.
09:39It's too late.
09:40Is it?
09:43Tell me something, Sarge.
09:44Do you genuinely believe that Tarnay is the dealer?
09:49Well, you know what I've learnt?
09:51It doesn't matter what I believe.
09:54The evidence is the evidence.
09:57It's up to the magistrate now.
10:06Really? There's no one else?
10:10Okay, alright, just um, just give me a minute.
10:13Does that work?
10:14Yeah, the roster theatre nurse had to go home sick.
10:17They want me to cover a surgery.
10:19Well, let's go. It's fine.
10:21You sure?
10:22Yeah.
10:24Um, yeah, I can do it. I'll be there as soon as I can.
10:27Bye.
10:29Listen, before I go, I've been thinking.
10:33Maybe it's a good thing that you have a court date.
10:35At least this way you won't be stopped waiting.
10:37Not so I can go straight to prison instead.
10:40Not necessarily.
10:41Your solicitor is a gun.
10:42She got you right on bail, didn't she?
10:45No, you'd better get to work, yeah?
10:46Okay. I'll see you later.
10:47Tarnay!
10:50Hey.
10:50See, I gotta run.
10:51Alright, I'll see you soon.
10:53Bye. I was just on my way to your place.
10:57Thought coffees might help.
10:59Not even your coffee's that good.
11:01What?
11:03You can't have gotten any worse, can you?
11:08Okay, look, yes, it is sooner than expected, but I think we just call you solicitor and figure out a
11:12plan.
11:13Will you stop pretending everything's gonna be fine?
11:16Sorry.
11:17No.
11:18I understand.
11:21Tarnay, how bad is it?
11:23Uh, I'm screwed.
11:26You know, I've been here before, facing prison time, and...
11:30It was different back then.
11:32I'd never ask you to think about.
11:35I'm scared I'm not gonna see my son grow up.
11:45Look.
11:47I did my best.
11:49Just come out and say it.
11:52The DPP are refusing to shift the court date.
11:59Well.
12:00That's that then.
12:02Better call my solicitor.
12:07Yeah, Jane.
12:09Yeah, it's Tarnay here.
12:11I can't believe it.
12:16Fred was supposed to make the case easier.
12:20Yeah.
12:22I know.
12:23It's just, it's so unfair.
12:24Are you sure there's nothing you can do to maybe get that date pushed back?
12:29If there was anything I could do, I would do it.
12:31I know.
12:36Hey.
12:37That was quick.
12:38That was too quick.
12:39That's because she didn't have a lot to say.
12:44She wants me to plead guilty.
12:58The police and lifeguards are out looking for him now.
13:01He won't have got far.
13:02What will it take for this to be dealt with properly?
13:05I'm so sorry.
13:06I should have known that you were gone soon.
13:08No, no, no, no.
13:08That's not why this happened.
13:10Lacey?
13:12You okay?
13:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:14Okay.
13:15What happened?
13:16He was talking about how we should have died together.
13:19The train.
13:21Okay.
13:22I'm going to organize a police guard.
13:24What if the woman won't have a guard, Dad?
13:26What's the point in being in charge of an entire police station if I can't look after my own daughter?
13:30We need to keep you safe, Lacey.
13:32Okay.
13:32Here's your room key for the motel.
13:35You take the hire car, I'll follow you straight there.
13:37Well, don't you have to get back to work?
13:39This is more important.
13:40No, no, no, it's okay. I can wait here until you finish.
13:43I'm not leaving you here alone.
13:44I'll stay around.
13:45You too.
13:47You sure?
13:48Yes. We'll keep her safe.
13:50Fine.
13:51I'll go report Holden for breaching his bail conditions and put a warrant out for his arrest and then I'll
13:56come straight back to get you.
13:57Okay.
14:02Well, I guess it makes sense.
14:03She figures if I plead guilty, it'll reduce my sentence on the drug charges.
14:07Reduce it by how much?
14:08That's hard to say.
14:09Then speculate.
14:11Well, it could be reduced to a two or a three year sentence, but if he's convicted without a guilty
14:15plea, then it could be eight years.
14:17Yeah, but a guilty plea means my suspended sentence kicks in, which is seven years on its own.
14:21So I guess the solicitor's just trying to minimize the jail time.
14:24Yeah, and what? I get up there in front of everyone and say that I did it, then I'm a
14:26drug dealer?
14:27I don't know.
14:28I'm not pleading guilty. I didn't do anything wrong.
14:30Not in the eyes of your solicitor.
14:32No, there's an eyewitness.
14:33And whose fault is that?
14:35You were meant to help me.
14:36Okay.
14:37I'm sorry, Tarnia.
14:37I'm just going to go and try to get a hold of Harper and see if she's got any other
14:40ideas on how to find Kerry.
14:42Cash, honestly, I think it's just time you stay out of this now.
14:44No, I'm not giving up on this. We have one week. I'm not wasting a single second of it.
14:59Don't worry, I'm not going to ask if you're okay.
15:01No, he's wasting his time.
15:05Well, one more week of freedom. Once I slip foot inside that courtroom, I'm not coming home.
15:16Are you sure you don't want to wait for your dad? It won't be long.
15:19I just want to hide out at the motel.
15:21Well, we could come with you.
15:22No, no, you've already spent way too much time with me today.
15:24It is no trouble at all.
15:25Honestly, I just want to be on my own.
15:27Okay, I know that you guys are trying to help me and I really, really appreciate it.
15:30And I'm sorry, but I'm just feeling a little bit crowded right now.
15:33What about your safety?
15:34Dad's organised a police guard. He's probably there already.
15:37No, I'm coming with you. I'm not leaving you alone.
15:40How are you going to get back?
15:41I will work it out.
15:42I want to make sure that you get in there safely. No arguments.
15:49Okay. Thank you.
16:06I honestly didn't think things could get any worse.
16:10That's why we've got to find your mum.
16:12We've got to find her before the court date Harper.
16:14Cash, that's all we've been trying to do.
16:15Yeah, I know. We've just got to step it up, don't we?
16:18How? It's not like we can put her face out there and say she's wanted by police.
16:21No, you're right. We can't do that without a court order.
16:25But then what do we try that we haven't already tried?
16:28I don't know.
16:31I don't know. There's just got to be something that we can do.
16:33We've got to...
16:35We've got to think.
16:50Sushi delivery with a bento box.
17:13I think you've got the wrong room.
17:15The desk said this is Lacey Miller's room.
17:29Yeah, but I didn't order a bento box.
17:31Not my problem.
17:42Now we can finish our conversation.
17:54We are never going to be together.
17:57You don't mean that.
17:57Yes, I do.
17:59I put in an AVO.
18:02Do you remember that?
18:03It was only because you were bullied into it.
18:05No.
18:06It was my choice.
18:09So I'm going to need you to get out.
18:11I'm not going to let a piece of paper keep us apart.
18:20You won't be needing that.
18:22This is between you and me.
18:25Okay.
18:26Okay.
18:27Okay.
18:28I do want to talk.
18:29So do I.
18:30Can we just maybe get some air?
18:34Just go for a walk?
18:35No.
18:36Walk outside.
18:37So you can run away again?
18:38No.
18:39No, no, no, no.
18:39I don't want to run away.
18:40No.
18:40I promise.
18:41No.
18:41I...
18:43We're staying here.
18:46Sit down.
18:49Okay.
18:51Can you sit there?
18:52I'm going to sit here.
18:54I'm going to sit here.
19:20No, no, no.
19:21Lacey.
19:21Lacey.
19:22Lacey.
19:22Lacey.
19:22Don't be like her.
19:23Holden.
19:23Please let me go.
19:25Holden.
19:25Please.
19:26Please.
19:27Let me go.
19:29Stop it.
19:29Stop.
19:31Get off me.
19:32Get.
19:32Lacey.
19:33Stop.
19:34I love you, Lacey.
19:36Lacey, please.
19:36I love you.
19:47The solicitor wasn't happy with the decision?
19:51She quit.
19:55How is that ethical?
19:57Mac.
19:58No, she's paid to represent you, not to agree with you.
20:00Well, it doesn't matter now.
20:03End of the day, she said, I don't have a hope in hell of getting out of this.
20:10And I think she's right.
20:28Tony.
20:29I think she'll be alive.
20:30I think she'll be alive.
20:50Dean, hi.
20:52Not great, actually.
20:53That's why I'm calling.
20:57Hypothetically, if someone needed to disappear, could you help them do that?
21:09Monday.
21:10They're here.
21:12Brax and Ricky are back.
21:15Miss me?
21:15You wish.
21:18Who is this guy?
21:19Why should we help him?
21:20Who is this guy?
21:21If the cops are looking for this guy, he could lead them straight to us.
21:24I don't let anyone put my family at risk.
21:26Just stop!
21:27I walked away from my son for this.
21:30The event Australia has been waiting for.
21:33Once a river boy, always a river boy.
21:36Brax and Ricky are back.
21:38You and I actually do have a lot in common.
21:41I guess you're right.
21:42Not so different after all.
21:43Monday at 7 on Home and Away.
21:46Bye.
