00:00Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:11Dad, you're back!
00:12Here he is. Right on time.
00:15Dean Thompson called.
00:17You know what?
00:17Someone from back home needs a place to hide out for a bit.
00:20Well, I hope you told them no.
00:22Brax, you did tell them no, right?
00:24Don't even look at anyone. We'll feed you.
00:26Otherwise, you're invisible.
00:27Looks like our visitor's feeling a bit left out.
00:30I don't care.
00:31There's the rules.
00:32So what? You just expect him to stay in his room for the rest of his life?
00:35Yeah, that's right.
00:35Donna, it's cash. I'm not sure if you've forgotten, but it's bail checking time.
00:38You do not want to mess this up this close to the trial.
00:40He's done a runner. As in, he's taken his monitor off.
00:42He's smashed his phone.
00:43Mac's saying she doesn't know anything about it, but she does.
00:45This surgery could mess me up.
00:47Which is why I recommend we mitigate the risks by performing awake surgery.
00:52I can monitor your cognitive and motor functions while I operate.
00:56It could be a good option.
00:58You know, you're all worried about the complications, not being able to play the guitar.
01:01You play the guitar?
01:02Bring it with you.
01:02You can serenade the theatre team.
01:05All right, everyone.
01:06Let's do some brain surgery.
01:16Afternoon.
01:17Hey, Sarge.
01:19How have things been here?
01:20Things are good.
01:21Things are good here.
01:22There's nothing to report.
01:24How are things with you?
01:25It's been a rough couple of days.
01:27Is there anything I can do to help?
01:29I've got a couple of hours free before I need to get back to Lacey, so I thought I'd catch
01:33up on things here.
01:34Okay.
01:35How's Jo?
01:37She's good.
01:39It's like she doesn't hate me at all.
01:42Well, look, if you need anything handled here...
01:44Pretty sure.
01:45I just said I want to catch up on things, so...
01:47Thanks, but I'm good.
01:48Um...
02:31How is it?
02:32The water's perfect.
02:34As always, everything about this place is perfect.
02:38Well, almost everything.
02:40Yeah, I know.
02:41You're not happy about old mate staying with us.
02:43You can't keep him hidden forever.
02:44Well, okay.
02:45Well, what do you want me to do about it?
02:46Because I'm just trying to protect you and Casey.
02:48The way I always do.
02:49You want to know what we talked about on the way to school this morning?
02:52Who is he, Mum?
02:53Is he going to be working here?
02:54Why can't I talk to him?
02:56Yeah, I get it.
02:57Do you, though?
02:57Because I can't keep telling him to drop it.
02:59Yeah, well, I'll sort something out.
03:03I know you will.
03:06But until you do,
03:08you can field a thousand questions from Casey,
03:11starting with school pick-up this afternoon.
03:13I can't.
03:14I'll get the vet coming.
03:15Don't even try it, Brax.
03:16If you've got time to be here,
03:18you've got time to pick a kid up.
03:22Hang on, at least come for a swim with me.
03:24Sorry, I've got stuff to do.
03:44And what about this one?
03:47It's a bird.
03:48Next.
03:51Remy?
03:52Huh?
03:53A book.
03:55What exactly are you doing back there?
03:57I am stimulating areas of your brain with electrodes.
04:02Sorry, I asked.
04:03To identify what areas of the brain control what functions.
04:07You good?
04:08It's peachy.
04:09You're doing really well.
04:10Gold stars all around.
04:17Oh, what does that mean?
04:19It's all right.
04:19You're just breathing a little too fast.
04:22His BP's elevated.
04:24Get his anxiety under control,
04:26or we go to plan B.
04:28What's my B again?
04:29Knock you out.
04:30No, no, no.
04:31Please, please, please.
04:32It's okay.
04:32It's okay.
04:33I don't like it.
04:33I'm just going to slow your breathing down.
04:35Are you sure?
04:36Yes.
04:38Remy, listen to me.
04:40In.
04:44Out.
04:47In.
04:50Out.
04:51Slowly.
04:52That's it.
04:54Well done.
04:55I'm happy to keep going.
04:57Okay.
04:58One more hiccup and we go to full anesthesia.
05:00Gotcha.
05:06Next picture.
05:10Get out.
05:17Hey.
05:17I'm actually really glad you called me.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Eden said you were worried.
05:21Has something happened at Tama's case?
05:22Hey, that's all.
05:23Just get me down.
05:25Why?
05:25What's going on?
05:27When's the last time you spoke to him?
05:28Um, not yesterday, so the day before.
05:32Okay.
05:33And I've tried to call him a couple of times, but I've only gotten his voicemail.
05:36Yeah.
05:38Has something happened?
05:39You're not going to get through to him on his phone.
05:42Why?
05:42Sitting on the floor at his place, he smashed it.
05:45He sank on one of us there too.
05:47He's not stupid enough to do that.
05:48He is stupid enough to do that.
05:50I could throttle him.
05:55So, what are we going to do?
05:56I have no idea, but I've got to get back to work now.
05:59Does my dad know?
06:02I'm going to try and keep it that way for as long as I can.
06:05But you just can be caught for you from it.
06:07All right.
06:12Eight, ten.
06:14Okay.
06:15I think I've got everything I need.
06:17How much longer is this going to take?
06:21I wish I had better news, but you've still got a while to go.
06:26Can I tell you something?
06:28Yeah, sure.
06:30I was always a bit jealous of you.
06:34When everything went down with my family,
06:37you were there for Eden.
06:38You got to be her big brother.
06:40When she wouldn't have a bar of me.
06:42Levi, I was never her brother.
06:45That right was reserved for you,
06:46whether she liked to admit it or not.
06:48Okay.
06:49If you two have finished braiding each other's hair,
06:51we should move on.
06:53I get an argument from me.
06:56Guitar?
07:03Ready when you are.
07:05Scalpel.
07:13You were right.
07:15You are good.
07:27Is that me or him?
07:31It's okay.
07:32Keep going.
07:37Ready?
07:40Get him playing again.
07:46It's now or never, Levi.
07:48You get him playing or I'll put him under.
08:01Look, you don't know if this is a moment of panic
08:03or a complication of the surgery.
08:05Right now, that doesn't matter.
08:06I am staring at this man's exposed brain
08:08and I would really like to do something about that.
08:10Can we please not talk about me like I'm not in the room?
08:12Mate, you need to listen to me.
08:14This is why you're awake.
08:16Act for this so that we know which areas of the brain we need to avoid.
08:19I'm still going to regret letting you guys touch any part of my brain.
08:21You want me to stop?
08:22I'll stop.
08:23But just so we're clear, we do that.
08:25The next time a guitar plays, it'll be at your funeral.
08:29Okay.
08:29Can we try this again, please?
08:34Okay.
08:58Can we try this again, please?
08:59Can we try this again, please?
09:02Yeah.
09:50Where are you going?
09:52Nowhere.
09:58Rack's told you to stay put.
09:59Yeah, I know, but I'm not used to sitting around doing nothing.
10:04I'm not used to being on my own.
10:12Word of advice, don't go anywhere without water.
10:15Thanks.
10:17What's with the board?
10:19Can't imagine there's any good beaches around here.
10:21Then you would be dead set wrong.
10:23Best beaches in the world, I reckon.
10:25Yeah.
10:26Maybe I'll check them out one day.
10:28You know, when I get lit off the leash.
10:31How's the bay these days?
10:34You know where I'm from.
10:36Summer Bay.
10:37Yeah.
10:38I lived there for years.
10:40Right.
10:42So how'd you and Brax end up out here?
10:46Let me guess, that's one of the questions he doesn't want me asking.
10:48Smart man.
10:51He said you have a son.
10:53Yeah.
10:55Archie.
10:56So what about his mum?
10:57Are you two...
10:58Nah.
10:59We were, obviously.
11:01But...
11:02But now...
11:05Someone else then?
11:08There was someone else.
11:11Well, that's all behind me.
11:22You looking for something, Sarge?
11:25Where have you been?
11:26Checking out some kids down at the caravan park.
11:28Reports are graffiti game.
11:30When was this report?
11:31It's not in the paperwork.
11:32It wasn't an official report.
11:33I just heard some chat down at the surf club and thought I'd practice some preventative policing.
11:38Right.
11:40It's forensics on Holden's case.
11:42I've got to take this.
11:43Okay.
11:43See you tomorrow.
11:45David Langham.
11:47Yes, I've been waiting for an update.
11:51And the coroner's signed off on that.
11:57And this has been passed on to the DPP.
12:02Weren't you going?
12:04Yes, Sarge.
12:05Yep.
12:06I'm still here.
12:10You want a sandwich?
12:12I got it at Servo on my way home.
12:14Oh, thanks.
12:16So, you said you're not used to sitting around doing nothing.
12:20What do you normally do?
12:21Uh, I run a gym.
12:24The one at the surf club?
12:26You really do know the bay, don't you?
12:28Brax's brothers owned it for a while.
12:29Oh, small world, eh?
12:31Where are they now?
12:35Well, I'll be able to get back.
12:36And then Trent says his uncle's got this body calf he's trying to get rid of.
12:40Can we take it?
12:42Ah, I'll think about it.
12:55You okay?
12:56Yeah, of course I am.
12:57What's he doing, Abby?
12:58Just walking.
13:00He's bored out of his skull.
13:02Well, he's been here five minutes.
13:03Sorry he's not sticking to the rules.
13:05Maybe the rules need rethinking.
13:09Case!
13:10Come on, jump in.
13:11Your dad's got something he needs to do.
13:17Still alright if I ask him about the calf?
13:18Yeah, mate.
13:19Knock yourself out.
13:20Shh, shh, shh.
13:23Talk to him.
13:24You two have a lot in common.
13:34That was the man from last night, right?
13:37The one I'm allowed to talk to?
13:38That was him.
13:41Now, what's this about a calf?
13:57And that, as they say, is that.
14:01Get that down to pathology and put a rush on it.
14:03We need to know if it's malignant.
14:06Did you get it all?
14:07Looks like it.
14:08Oh, you did well, mate.
14:10Really well.
14:12Ah.
14:16What happens now?
14:18I just need to make sure I haven't broken anything.
14:20Can you tell me your name?
14:23Remy Carter.
14:25How many fingers is Levi holding up?
14:28Three.
14:29And can you tell me where you are?
14:32Hell.
14:33Hmm.
14:34Close enough.
14:36Okay, you can go back to sleep while I put your head back together.
14:41Hey.
14:42Thanks, mate.
14:46Same as before.
14:49Backwards from ten.
14:51Ten.
14:52Nine.
14:53Hey.
14:55Herb.
14:58Are you all right?
15:00May come as a shock, but I'm no stranger to long surgeries.
15:02I think we both know this one was different.
15:05Personal.
15:07You want to see it through to the end?
15:08You better get up here.
15:14Now.
15:15You can see where the tumour was sitting.
15:17Hey, I was just wondering if there was any news on Remy yet, and I hope everything went well.
15:22Just give me a call when you get this, eh?
15:23Love you.
15:24Bye.
15:25Hey.
15:26He didn't even say goodbye.
15:27I mean, he just left.
15:28Why would he do that?
15:29Well, you know what he's going through?
15:31He's probably just scared.
15:32He wouldn't leave Archie, okay?
15:33After everything, he went through to get custody.
15:35I'm telling you.
15:36Look, I admit that it's not like him.
15:37No, it's not like him.
15:39Something has happened to him that's the only explanation for this.
15:43I think there might be a bit more going on here than you realise.
15:46What are you talking about?
16:04You've got a real problem following orders, don't you?
16:08Didn't think going for a walk wasn't going to hurt anyone.
16:11You're probably right.
16:15Tell you what.
16:176am tomorrow.
16:18Be ready.
16:20You're late.
16:20You're left behind.
16:22Where are we going?
16:22There you go.
16:23Asking questions again.
16:24Well, out here the days are long and the river is dry.
16:31I'm sitting here singing my song and watching shadows pass by.
16:35Can you just let me know as soon as the pathology comes back?
16:37Sure thing.
16:38Thanks.
16:41Hey.
16:43He's all settled.
16:46How is he?
16:47Good.
16:48Good.
16:49And the surgeon thinks she got all the tumour, so we're just waiting on pathology to come
16:52back with the results.
16:54And he was awake, so there's no, um, deficit or whatever you call it?
16:58No deficit.
17:00So, come here.
17:03And, um, what happens if it's cancer?
17:06Then we go through treatment options, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
17:10Yeah.
17:10This is a huge win.
17:11Let's just take it.
17:12Okay.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Thank you for looking after him and getting him here and everything.
17:21He's a good guy, isn't he?
17:23Yeah.
17:24Most of the time.
17:27Can I, uh, can I stay with him?
17:30Of course you can.
17:41Hey, Rem.
17:44It's me.
17:47You're my dear.
17:51You did good.
17:53You scared the hell out of me.
17:57Don't you ever do that again, okay?
18:06I don't understand.
18:07Why would Mackenzie's brother be involved?
18:09Because he's got ties to the River Boys.
18:11Was that the gang that Lacey was involved with?
18:13Mm-hmm.
18:15What, so you think she asked him for a favour?
18:18No, he's gone.
18:21Okay, well, we have to find out where he is.
18:24We need to speak to Mack Chester to know something.
18:26I've already tried talking to Mack about it.
18:28I've got nowhere.
18:28Well, I haven't.
18:32Sarge?
18:33What are you doing here, Jo?
18:34We're just talking.
18:37Well, maybe you can shed some light on this.
18:39When were you going to tell me that your mate had skipped bail?
19:00It's pretty impressive, eh?
19:02Never seen anything quite like it.
19:05A bit of a chunk of a drink, will you?
19:07Yeah.
19:14So, what are we doing here?
19:16Um, ooh, Rick's a bit of a photographer.
19:19A pretty good one, too, so every now and then,
19:22come to a place like this, you can do a thing.
19:26And Casey might end up doing something similar.
19:28He likes all that stuff, too.
19:31Seems like a good kid.
19:33He's a good kid.
19:39That's my boy there.
19:42Yeah.
19:44Yeah, I wasn't around when Case was that age.
19:48Don't worry, I'm not going to ask why.
19:51Nah, I was in prison when he was born.
19:54He was on the run not long after that.
19:59He doesn't know any of that.
20:03Lucky man.
20:05Yeah, you are.
20:09Are you sure you're okay with me being here?
20:13Rick thinks I should give you a break.
20:16Just don't make me regret listening to him.
20:34Hey, Sarge, I just wanted to...
20:35I don't want to hear your excuses.
20:37Newman, I have a job for you.
20:39Okay.
20:40Seeing as you're so invested in the Tanay Paratak case,
20:43I want you to have the honours of issuing his arrest warrant.
20:48Oh, and can you please make it nationwide?
20:51Because I want everyone in this country looking for it.
21:08They're harbouring Australia's most wanted fugitive.
21:11They've put a warrant out for your arrest.
21:13I want everyone in this country looking for it.
21:15Why would anyone come looking for you out here?
21:19We're going to be checking the train stations.
21:20We're checking the airport.
21:21Cops aren't going to find it.
21:23I just have a bad feeling.
21:25I've got a lead on Tanay.
21:26I'm going to head over there and find it myself.
21:28Well, one mistake.
21:31Risk everyone's freedom.
21:32Oi, what do you think you're doing?
21:34Home and Away.
21:35This week on Seven.
