00:01Closer 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's dead.
00:15I didn't have a tortoise.
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,
00:28that you're going to grow up in a good home.
00:30And you have a good mum.
00:31I love you, son.
00:33If the cops are looking for this guy,
00:35he could lead them straight to us.
00:37That could destroy everything we've built here.
00:40Dane wouldn't send trouble our way.
00:41What if I vet this bloke somewhere else,
00:44and if there's anything off about him,
00:45I just won't bring him home.
00:46Tiny poditor.
00:48Right, well, thank you for this.
00:51You've got to talk fast.
00:52Why should I stick my neck out to you?
00:55He's just made things so much worse.
00:57What's going to happen when the police find out he's done a runner?
00:59Does anyone else know?
01:00I don't think so.
01:01What should we do?
01:01Should we tell Cash?
01:02No, no, no, no.
01:03I think it's best if we stay quiet.
01:05If you're right,
01:06then shouldn't you give Tana as much of a head start as possible?
01:11If he didn't get bail,
01:13then this never would have happened.
01:14That does matter now.
01:15Well, that's just, the system sucks.
01:18You know, if they had kept him locked up,
01:20which they should have,
01:21then Lacey would have been safe.
01:22Yes, and I understand that,
01:24but they didn't, so...
01:26So, so what, we just accept it?
01:29Hey, Marley, have you heard back from Lacey yet?
01:32Because David's not answering any of my calls.
01:35I...
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.
01:49I don't understand.
01:50You know, I checked the motorum.
01:52I 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.
02:01If anyone's to blame here, it's Holden.
02:03Yeah.
02:03Maybe I'll give David another call
02:05to see if there's anything I can do.
02:07Well, I reckon he's got enough on his plate.
02:09Well, can you text him?
02:10I just want them to know that I'm here to help.
02:12Yeah, I'll text.
02:13Hey, Maz.
02:14Oh, hi.
02:15You're back.
02:16Yeah, you miss me?
02:17Yes.
02:17I just...
02:18Oh, oh.
02:19Okay, okay.
02:21What's that for?
02:22That 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.
02:28Oh, they're the loveliest couple ever.
02:29It's a little sickening how in love they are.
02:31Oh, have you seen Harper this morning?
02:34Not today, no.
02:35Okay, it's very typical.
02:36She wants to see me and she's making him here when I get here.
02:38That's okay.
02:39Oh, what's this?
02:41Speak of the devil.
02:45I'm like, I was just talking about you.
02:48Yeah, the woman hated me.
02:49That's why she framed me.
02:51I don't touch drugs, okay?
02:52Let alone deal them.
02:53That's why I can stay in the bay.
02:55I was looking at prison time.
02:57Yeah, but it's possession.
02:59Even with a dealing charge, it's a pretty light sentence.
03:01Especially if it's a first offence.
03:03It's got to be better than life on the run, doesn't it?
03:07Yeah.
03:09But it's not my first offence.
03:10Oh, yeah.
03:12Yeah, what was that?
03:15Kidnapping.
03:16Look, that's not how it sounds.
03:17I know, it sounds pretty bad to me.
03:18What were you?
03:19You framed for that too, were you?
03:20I can explain it.
03:21All right?
03:22Please just give me a chance.
03:24Yeah, we'll just...
03:26Not here.
03:29Better be good.
03:39Just checking up on you?
03:40All on your lonesome today?
03:42Uh, yeah.
03:44Uh, Cash is busy and Eden's picking up Remy from his parents' place.
03:48A place to yourself then?
03:49Can't be a bad life, eh?
03:51Yeah.
03:52Well, uh, who wants to hang around here, eh?
03:55Let'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...
04:11Hold your hearts, ladies.
04:12Two handsome bachelors are heading your way.
04:16So have you told the police?
04:18No, I'm not dobbing him in.
04:20Uh, okay.
04:21No, I've made up my mind about that.
04:24Did Tane say anything to you at all?
04:27No, that's why I asked you to meet me here, to help me look for anything that might tell
04:30us where he's gone or 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.
04:45How am I meant to tell my son one day that his dad just took off?
04:48Okay, hopefully you're not going to have to do that.
04:49Well, you don't know.
04:50That clothes are gone, photo frames are empty.
04:52Doesn't look like he's planning on coming back.
04:54I literally don't understand why he would do this.
04:57Archie is the most important thing in the world to him, and you just sorted out the whole
05:00custody thing.
05:01Yeah, well, things got a lot worse when you were gone.
05:04Who the hell do you think you are?
05:07Felt like the right thing to do.
05:09To take your kid.
05:10Well, I'll just explain.
05:11It wasn't that simple.
05:12Yeah, well, I don't care.
05:13You don't do that.
05:14You don't touch someone else's kid.
05:16Hey, then who the hell are you to lecture me?
05:18I'm guessing you're not exactly law-abiding, given you're the first call when people need
05:21to disappear.
05:22Right, I think we're done here.
05:25Wait.
05:26Wait, I'm sorry.
05:28Word of warning.
05:29Mouthy 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.
05:55Hey.
05:57Hey, wait a second.
05:58Wait a second.
05:58You can't just leave me here.
05:59Hey.
06:00Yeah?
06:00Watch this.
06:06Just stop.
06:10I've walked away from my son for this.
06:20I'll do whatever you want.
06:24I just need to make this work.
06:40After I'm done here, I'm going to go see Lacey.
06:42Yeah, that's not a good idea.
06:44She needs her friends, Molly.
06:47I know, but when I walked her home, she 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.
07:01I know, but like I said, she's with her family, so just don't crowd her.
07:05Why 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.
07:13I heard you.
07:14Okay?
07:14I'm just going to 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, so things could be worse.
07:25Could they?
07:26Uncalled for, Molly.
07:29Hey, how are things at home?
07:31Uh, yeah, yeah, they're okay.
07:33Eden's gone for the night to pick up Remy from his parents.
07:36Oh, a weekend with the rich folk.
07:38Lucky man.
07:39Yeah, lucky man.
07:41Right, well, I better get going.
07:47Hey, it is really good to see you out and about.
07:50Thanks, man.
07:50Yeah, it's been a while.
07:55Where's Dana?
07:57Uh, I don't know.
08:02What did I say?
08:04They're not together anymore.
08:05I thought everybody knew that.
08:07Obviously, I didn't know that.
08:10Molly thinks that we should all hang back.
08:12I can't do that.
08:13You know, we should do something, like 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 unless we'll make some noise.
08:26Oh, okay.
08:27So if you're talking about some kind of protest, Leah doesn't really protest that well.
08:32I think it might be a bit too fresh for Lacey to be the focus of a protest.
08:36Yeah?
08:37Yeah, all right.
08:38Okay, so what if we go to the media?
08:40You know, get them to run a story on how unfair it was.
08:42Again?
08:43Last time Leah and the people were involved, you got arrested, babe.
08:46Could you not?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Who side are you on?
08:48I agree we should do something, but I don't think it's a good idea to go to the media right
08:54now, and 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?
09:02Let's just cook up some food and take it to her.
09:05You think it's okay for us to visit?
09:07Of course.
09:07Lacey needs to know we're there for her.
09:10You know what?
09:12Yeah, you're right.
09:13Let's do that.
09:15How dumb are you?
09:16Hey, if you're going to have a go at me, you can just leave.
09:18You know that Fred was the first person to give me drugs, right?
09:22When I was 14.
09:23I was 14, and he was more than happy to do that, because that is who your good old Uncle
09:28Fred
09:28is.
09:28He comes in, and he ruins lives.
09:30I had no idea that Fred gave him drugs.
09:32Well, you know, he's ruined Tane's life.
09:34All because you were so naive.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:36Well, that's not going to bring Tane back.
09:38You know that, right?
09:40Yeah.
09:45Just...
09:46Family's everything to me, okay?
09:48And my boy Archie is my whole world, you know?
09:53You said that you wouldn't let anyone put your family at risk.
09:56I get that, mate.
09:57I do.
09:58So, do you have kids?
10:01None of your business.
10:05Look, I've told you everything, man.
10:07My life, my family.
10:10Are you going to help me or not?
10:11You say you love your kids so much.
10:13Where is he?
10:14Well, he's safe.
10:15He's back in Summer Bay with his mother.
10:19She can give him a normal, happy life.
10:22That's what I want from him.
10:24This would be cool.
10:26Saying goodbye to him...
10:30It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
10:32It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
10:35It's how long?
10:38It's...
10:39It's 10 months.
10:42You know, he's...
10:44He's so close to walking, he actually stood up the other day holding on to the coffee table.
10:51I reckon he's got some strong legs on him.
10:55Might end up playing for the All Blacks.
11:05Rex.
11:15Better hurry up.
11:18Plan to catch.
11:21Ah.
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
11:46So what do you believe?
11:53Where are we going?
11:57You asked him any questions
12:00Might want to get that under control
12:07How long does he get?
12:14I think...
12:15Where are we going?
12:23Oh, my God.
12:26Oh, my God.
12:28I think I Thought is on the floor
12:30I couldn't stand up in front部
