00:00Closer each day, home and away.
00:08Something happened with Holden, didn't it?
00:10Did he hurt you?
00:11Tried to, but I stopped him.
00:14He stared.
00:15I didn't have a choice.
00:20Just say the word and the River Boys will help you disappear.
00:23So, I'll be leaving. Everything.
00:26There's so much I wanted to teach you.
00:27But you're going to grow up in a good home.
00:29And you have a good mum.
00:31I love you so much.
00:32If the cops are looking for this guy, he could lead them straight to us.
00:36Freaky.
00:37That could destroy everything we've built here.
00:40But Dane wouldn't send trouble our way.
00:41What if I vet this bloke somewhere else,
00:44and there's anything off about him, I just won't bring him home.
00:46Tiny predator.
00:48Alright, well, thank you for this.
00:51You gotta talk fast, why should I stick my neck out for you?
00:55He's just made things so much worse.
00:56What's going to happen when the police find out he's done a runner?
00:58Does anyone else know?
00:59I don't think so.
01:01What should we do? Should we tell Cash?
01:02No. No, no, no.
01:03I think it's best if we stay quiet.
01:05If you're right, then shouldn't you give Tana as much of a head start as possible?
01:11If he didn't get bailed, this never would have happened.
01:13That does matter now.
01:15Well, the system sucks.
01:17You know, if they had kept him locked up, which they should have,
01:20then Lacey would have been safe.
01:21Yes.
01:22And I understand that.
01:24But they didn't.
01:25So...
01:26So what?
01:26We just accept it?
01:27What?
01:28Hey, Marley, have you heard back from Lacey yet?
01:32Because David's not answering any of my calls.
01:34I...
01:35Yeah, actually, I...
01:36Wait, you haven't heard?
01:37Heard what?
01:38I don't even know where to start.
01:40Oh, poor Lacey.
01:42Yeah, she must have been terrified.
01:44I can't even imagine what she's going through.
01:46Their family have been through so much.
01:48I don't understand.
01:50You know, I checked the motor room.
01:51I even checked the bathroom.
01:53He probably waited for you to leave.
01:55I should have insisted on staying until David got there.
01:58Hang on.
01:59This is not your fault.
02:00If anyone's to blame here, it's Holden.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Maybe I'll give David another call to see if there's anything I can do.
02:06Well, I reckon he's got enough on his plate.
02:08Well, can you text him?
02:10I just want them to know that I'm here to help.
02:11Jet, I'll text.
02:13Hey, Maz.
02:14Oh, hi.
02:14You're back.
02:16Yeah, you miss me?
02:17Yes.
02:17I just...
02:18Oh, oh.
02:19Okay.
02:19Okay, thank you.
02:20What's that for?
02:21That is from Jet and from Lindsay.
02:24Oh, you got to see them.
02:25Yeah, I had to go thank Lindsay for putting me on the course.
02:27Oh, they're the loveliest couple ever.
02:29It's a little sickening how in love they are.
02:32Have you seen Harper this morning?
02:33Not today, no.
02:34Okay.
02:35It's very typical.
02:36She wants to see me and she's maybe I'm here when I get here.
02:38That's okay.
02:39Oh, what's this?
02:41Speak of the devil.
02:44Hello, I was just talking about you.
02:47Yeah, the woman hated me.
02:49That's why she framed me.
02:50I don't touch drugs, okay?
02:51Let alone deal them.
02:53That's why I couldn't stay in the bay.
02:55I was looking at prison time.
02:57Yeah, but it's possession.
02:58Even with a dealing charge, it's a pretty light sentence.
03:01Especially if it's a first offence.
03:02It's got to be better than life on the run, doesn't it?
03:07Yeah.
03:08That's not my first offence.
03:10Oh, yeah.
03:12Yeah, what was that?
03:14Kidnapping.
03:15Look, that's not how it sounds.
03:17I know, it sounds pretty bad to me.
03:18What were you?
03:18You framed for that too, were you?
03:20I can explain it.
03:21All right?
03:21Please just give me a chance.
03:24Yeah, we'll just...
03:26Not here.
03:28Better be good.
03:38Just checking up on you.
03:40All on your lonesome today?
03:42Uh, yeah.
03:43Cash is busy and Eden's picking up Remy from his parents' place.
03:47A place to yourself then.
03:49Can't be a bad life, eh?
03:50Yeah.
03:52Well, who wants to hang around here, eh?
03:54Let's get a move on.
03:57To where?
03:58Anywhere.
03:59You, John Palmer, have the pleasure of my company all day.
04:03Well, don't you want to spend it with your mates?
04:05Um, excuse you.
04:06We are mates.
04:08Of course.
04:09Well, in that case, hold your hearts, ladies.
04:12Two handsome bachelors are heading your way.
04:16So have you told the police?
04:17No, I'm not dobbling him in.
04:20Uh, okay.
04:21No, I've made up my mind about that.
04:24Did Tane say anything to you at all?
04:26No, that's why I asked you to meet me here,
04:28to help me look for anything that might tell us where he's gone
04:31or how to contact him.
04:32Well, I mean, what are you going to say to him, hi?
04:34You're crazy?
04:35Like, you've literally made yourself a fugitive?
04:37I should have realised this yesterday.
04:39When I saw him with Archie, I had a feeling something wasn't right.
04:42I mean, I guess he was saying goodbye.
04:44How am I meant to tell my son one day that his dad just took off?
04:47No, okay.
04:48Hopefully you're not going to have to do that.
04:49Well, you don't know.
04:50That clothes are gone.
04:51Photo frames are empty.
04:52Doesn't look like he's planning on coming back.
04:53I literally don't understand why he would do this.
04:57Archie is the most important thing in the world to him
04:58and you just sorted out the whole custody thing.
05:01Yeah, well, things got a lot worse when you were gone.
05:04Who the hell do you think you are?
05:07I felt like the right thing to do.
05:08To take a kid?
05:10Well, I just explained. It wasn't that simple.
05:11Yeah, well, I don't care. You don't do that.
05:14You don't touch someone else's kid.
05:16Then who the hell are you to lecture me?
05:18I'm guessing you're not exactly law abiding
05:19giving you the first call when people need to disappear.
05:22Right, I think we're done here.
05:26Wait, I'm sorry.
05:27A word of warning.
05:28Mouthy was going to get you into trouble, eh?
05:31Hey, come on, man.
05:32Dean's lined this whole thing up.
05:34I don't care about Dean Thompson.
05:36Dean Thompson, he's not here, is he?
05:37I am.
05:39And I don't let anyone put my family at risk.
05:52Hey!
05:54Hey!
05:56Hey!
05:57Hey, wait a second, wait a second.
05:58You can't just leave me here, hey!
05:59Yeah?
06:00Watch this.
06:06Just stop!
06:10I walked away from my son for this.
06:20I'll do whatever you want.
06:23I just need to make this work.
06:39After I'm done here, I'm gonna go see Lacey.
06:42Yeah, that's not a good idea.
06:44She needs her friends, Molly.
06:46I know, but when I walked her home,
06:49she made it very clear that she needs space.
06:53Maybe that's changed.
06:55Since this morning.
06:57Why not?
06:59Besides, she really shouldn't be on her own.
07:00I know, but like I said, she's with her family,
07:02so just, just don't crowd her.
07:04Why are you being so stubborn?
07:06I'm not being stubborn,
07:07I'm just telling you what Lacey told me.
07:10Fine.
07:11Where are you going?
07:12Relax, I heard you.
07:14Okay, I'm just gonna go see you later.
07:17Hi, guys.
07:18Oi, oi.
07:20Hey, how's it going?
07:21It's good, man.
07:22I got a hot date here with John,
07:23so things could be worse.
07:25Could they?
07:26Uncalled for, Marley.
07:28Hey, how are things at home?
07:30Uh, yeah, yeah, they're okay.
07:33Eden's gone for the night
07:34to pick up Remy from his parents.
07:36A weekend with the rich folk.
07:38Lucky man.
07:39Yeah, lucky man.
07:41Right, well, I better get going.
07:46Hey, it is really good to see you out and about.
07:49Thanks, man.
07:50Yeah, it's, uh, it's been a while.
07:54Where's Dana?
07:56Uh, I don't know.
08:02What did I say?
08:03They're not together anymore.
08:05I thought everybody knew that.
08:07Obviously, I didn't know that.
08:10Marley thinks that we should all hang back.
08:12Like, can't do that.
08:14No, we should do something.
08:15Like, rally together.
08:16Okay, what exactly are you thinking?
08:19Well, Holland should never have been out on bail, right?
08:21Of course not.
08:22So the system failed Lacey and it'll fail the next woman
08:24unless we make some noise.
08:26Okay, so if you're talking about some kind of protest,
08:29Leah doesn't really protest that well.
08:31I think it might be a bit too fresh for Lacey
08:34to be the focus of a protest.
08:36Yeah, yeah, alright.
08:38Um, okay, so what if we go to the media?
08:40You know, get them to run a story on how unfair it was.
08:42Again, uh, last time Leah and the paper were involved,
08:45you got arrested, babe.
08:46Could you not?
08:47Yeah.
08:47Whose side are you on?
08:49I agree.
08:49We should do something,
08:51but I don't think it's a good idea to go to the media right now
08:54and I think Lacey would agree.
08:56I think she's a little fed up with her life being turned into news.
09:00Why don't we just keep it simple?
09:01Let's just cook up some food and take a tour.
09:05You think it's okay for us to visit?
09:06Of course.
09:07Lacey needs to know we're there for her.
09:10You know what?
09:11Yeah, you're right.
09:13Let's do that.
09:14How dumb are you?
09:16Hey, if you can have a go at me, you can just leave.
09:18You know that Fred was the first person to give me drugs, right?
09:21When I was 14.
09:23I was 14.
09:24And he was more than happy to do that
09:26because that is who your good old uncle Fred is.
09:28He comes in and he ruins lives.
09:30I had no idea that Fred gave you drugs.
09:31Well, you always ruined Tarno's life.
09:33All because you were so naive.
09:35Yeah, I'm sorry.
09:36Well, that's not going to bring Tarno back.
09:37You know that, right?
09:39Here.
09:43Just...
09:46Family is everything to me, okay?
09:48And my boy Archie is...
09:50He's my whole world.
09:51You know?
09:53Like you said that you wouldn't let anyone put your family at risk.
09:56And I get that, mate.
09:56I do.
09:58So, do you have kids?
10:01None of your business.
10:04Look, I've told you everything, man.
10:07Not my life, my family.
10:09Are you going to help me or not?
10:10You say you love your kid so much.
10:12Where is he?
10:14Oh, he's safe.
10:15He's...
10:16Back in Summer Bay with his mother.
10:18She can give him a normal, happy life.
10:22That's what I want from him.
10:24This would be cool.
10:25Saying goodbye to him...
10:30It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
10:35Is that how old?
10:38It's...
10:38It's ten months.
10:42You know, he's...
10:44He's so close to walking.
10:45He actually stood up the other day holding on to the coffee table.
10:50I reckon he's got some strong legs on him.
10:54Might end up playing for the All Blacks.
11:06Brax.
11:15Better hurry up.
11:17Uh...
11:18Plan to catch.
11:23Ah...
11:26Remember to believe
11:32Dots are fading and your mind is in control
11:40The captain of your ship
11:43The master of your fate
11:46Cause what do you believe?
11:53Where are we going?
11:56You asked too many questions.
11:59Might want to get that under control.
12:01Go with food.
12:10Ah...
12:26Don't.
12:29Don't
12:33Oh...
12:40Stepping from the car...
12:46It only told you to be shy.
12:55Welcome, I guess.
12:56Thanks. It's, uh, Jono.
13:02don't bother with the fake name out here mate
