00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08They've put a warrant out for your arrest.
00:10Um, okay, so what do we do?
00:12You flew in on a false name.
00:14You were hours from where you landed.
00:15Why would anyone come looking for you out here?
00:17Say I knew something.
00:18What would you even do with that information?
00:20I'd go to him.
00:21You would have to leave and never come back.
00:24Yeah, I know.
00:25If you were thinking of running away with Tanya, you can forget about it.
00:27He will be found, and it's best for him that I'm the first copy sees.
00:31He's in Western Australia, near a town called Exmouth, that's all I know.
00:34Tanya doesn't need any more heat, so I'm not going to involve the police in WA.
00:37I'm going to head over there and find him myself.
00:39I'm coming with you.
00:40I just wanted it to stop and make the killing.
00:44It's a clear case of self-defense.
00:46Yeah, of course it is.
00:47When the courts will put themselves on trial.
00:49I just really don't think it's right to be silent about this.
00:51We need to find the right journalist and the right platform.
00:54Agreed.
00:54And obviously, we need to get Lacey's blessing before we talk to anybody.
00:58I just spoke to a journalist.
00:59How could you think that was a good idea?
01:01The DPP called my lawyer this morning.
01:03They're considering dropping charges against me.
01:06That is great news.
01:08And I finally feel like something's going my way for once.
01:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:30no, no.
01:30Morning.
01:32Morning.
01:32Hey, any update on Lacey's case?
01:35I thought Lacey might have told you herself.
01:37It's looking like the DPP might drop the charges against her.
01:40That's great. It sure is.
01:42Hi. Hey.
01:43Uh, have you got a sec?
01:46Coffee's calling. See you both later.
01:49I have a problem.
01:50So you're actually talking to me this morning, are ya?
01:54Yes, but please don't say I told you so.
02:01Well?
02:04I don't know what you want me to say.
02:06Anything remotely helpful?
02:07We need to show that to Lacey.
02:09Seriously? That's your advice?
02:11Well, it's better that she finds out from you than someone else.
02:16She's not doing for a bit, so if I was you, I'd go and try and find her.
02:20Yeah, okay.
02:21Good luck.
02:27Abigail, it's Leah. Can you please call me back? It's important.
02:31Why does no one answer their phones? I can't believe she did this.
02:35Well, it may not have been Abigail that did it.
02:37No, it definitely was her.
02:38What are you doing?
02:39Well, I'm texting her.
02:40Hi.
02:42Hey, Maz. How's your morning been?
02:45I'm as bad as poor Lacey's.
02:47She obviously hadn't seen this when she was here before.
02:50Well, it's only a matter of time before she does.
02:54Look, if I knew that they were going to print a headline like that, I never would have gone to
02:57them and-
02:58Wait, what?
02:59You had something to do with this.
03:02Yeah, I was trying to help.
03:03This was all going to go away.
03:05What do you mean?
03:06The DPP are considering dropping the charges against me.
03:11That's not great.
03:13Well, yeah, it was.
03:15But now they're going to read this.
03:17The DPP will no doubt be scrambling to work out how to handle this situation.
03:23It will be hard to prosecute a police officer's daughter.
03:26How do you think that they're going to take this?
03:29I am so sorry.
03:30Look, I will call the paper and I will demand a retraction and an apology and hopefully that'll-
03:34No, no, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
03:35Hey, I just wanted to check on you.
03:40Have you read this?
03:42That's why I'm here.
03:45Is there anything I can do to help?
03:47I think I just need some space.
03:50Okay.
03:55Are you okay?
04:05Marley, hi.
04:07Hey, you back.
04:08Yeah, John's already bogged me down with all this paperwork.
04:12Good old JP doesn't like to waste time, does he?
04:14Yeah, exactly. Oh, can I ask you a question?
04:16Do you know what's happening with the gym?
04:18No, I don't.
04:18Okay, so the gym instructors don't know anything either and, um, I just wondered if Tanner had shared any plans
04:24with you before he left?
04:25Uh, no, he didn't.
04:27Oh, I just thought, you know, because you're friends.
04:29Going on the run only works if no one knows what you're up to.
04:50You're welcome.
04:51Good.
04:55Where's Case?
04:56Told him he can't leave his room till his homework's finished.
05:00Ah.
05:00Uh-huh.
05:03I know you like that smoke-o.
05:06Uh, all right.
05:08I will get you blokes to run that fence line down to that white ant boar.
05:12Make sure it's all good to go.
05:13Everyone else, we're going to set up the portable yards for drenching.
05:16And Terry, mate, for sleeping in, you're on castration duty.
05:20Great.
05:20Yeah.
05:21All right, everyone, let's get into it.
05:22That's, uh, after day gone.
05:25Are you sure you don't want to stay and help Terry?
05:26Ah.
05:27Tempting, but no.
05:28Case and I are going to head into town after he's finished.
05:30Yeah, all right.
05:31Well, if he's doing his homework, he might be waiting a while.
05:33That's why bribery exists.
05:35Nice.
05:36See ya.
05:37See ya.
05:39Wasn't given a job there, boss.
05:40Yeah, you're with me.
05:42Are you?
05:42Yep.
05:48What's this?
05:48You'll see.
05:56Here you go.
06:01I think you should read the whole article.
06:03It's not as bad as you're imagining, yet the headline grabs people's attention.
06:09By telling everyone that I'm a murderer.
06:12I know.
06:13It's awful.
06:14And the part about you being the cop's daughter isn't great either.
06:17But you're barely mentioned after that.
06:20They use your case to highlight how the courts are failing women.
06:23But still, what if the DPP reads it?
06:25If all goes well, the DPP will be dropping your charges any second now.
06:29And this paper will be tomorrow's rubbish.
06:33I really hope that you are right.
06:37Have you spoken to your dad about this?
06:39Well, how about we go and see him?
06:41And maybe he's got more information about this than we do, eh?
06:46This is Sergeant Lang from Yabby Creek Station.
06:48Just chasing up a decision on Lacey Miller's charges.
06:53Yep.
06:54Just on this mobile.
06:57Hey.
06:58Hi, is everything okay?
07:00Yeah, just trying to get through the DPP.
07:02I mean, they're dragging their feet a bit.
07:05There's nothing to worry about.
07:06It's probably just a bit of red tape.
07:07Yeah, um...
07:09I think it might be something to do with this.
07:11What's this?
07:12This morning's issue.
07:15Local Sergeant's daughter's body count grows.
07:17It's worse.
07:28You got there first.
07:30I still hurt.
07:31Must be oblivion.
07:34Are you okay?
07:37I won't need you to stay.
07:39Still hoping that you'll say it's not too late.
07:55I'm really not in the mood for another lecture.
07:57Good.
08:00Neither am I.
08:02I texted you earlier.
08:09Yeah, I saw.
08:15Shared Lacey the article.
08:18How'd that go?
08:25Are you surprised?
08:30Did you even read it?
08:32No.
08:34All the points that I wanted to make are in there that is buried under a crazy headline.
08:43I get you trying to help.
08:45This isn't your story to tell.
08:47We're never going to agree.
08:48Can you just please agree on?
08:54Okay.
08:57That's what you want.
09:10We don't know if it's a problem.
09:13They may not have seen the article yet.
09:15Maybe.
09:17Don't worry.
09:17I'll handle the DPP.
09:19Yeah, let your dad do his job.
09:21Come on, I'll take you home.
09:22That's a great idea.
09:23You go home with Leah.
09:26Hey, I'm sorry that this has happened.
09:28Why don't you give your sister a call?
09:30She'd want to know what's going on.
09:32Yeah, I've already messaged her, but she hasn't gotten back to me yet.
09:35She's probably just still at work.
09:38I'll wait for her at home.
09:40Okay.
09:41I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
09:43Okay.
09:44Thank you, Dad.
10:06Yeah, Joe, it's Dad.
10:09Listen, your sister really needs you.
10:11Can you call me back as soon as you get this, please?
10:34Ah.
10:35Yeah, watch your step.
10:39You know, it would be a lot easier if I had some help.
10:42I'm helping.
10:43I'm supervising.
10:44Make sure you don't stuff it up.
10:47Yeah, just give it a...
10:48Give it here.
10:50It's good to get there.
10:51Just like this, see how much...
10:52Thanks.
10:56Yeah, you make that look easy.
10:58Yeah, it's fine.
10:59You get used to it.
11:00Yeah, I guess.
11:03So, look, you've never asked me how I ended up out here.
11:07Well, I know the rules.
11:08You don't like questions.
11:10Like you, I don't like rules either.
11:13But I actually know what it's like to have to leave your life behind for something you didn't do.
11:18Like, it sucks at first.
11:22Doesn't feel fair.
11:24But eventually, yeah, you get used to it.
11:30Do you ever stop missing it in your old life?
11:36Well, I had it a lot easier than you.
11:38I got to bring the best part of mine with me.
11:40I mean, I'd be stuffed without Case and Rick.
11:44You know, the beaches here give some of Bay a run for their money.
11:48Don't make it up short here, you say that?
11:49Yeah, he'd be up here, wouldn't he?
11:51Flaming galah.
11:52Yeah. Flaming galah, alright.
11:56So, why are you up here?
11:58Let's knock this job over and we'll get a beer.
12:00A beer? Where?
12:02Oh, I know a place.
12:11Hey, you got to put your back into it, we'll be here all day.
12:21People looking at me.
12:22Who cares?
12:23Me.
12:24Well, don't.
12:25You did nothing wrong.
12:26You did what you had to do to survive.
12:30Well, in the end, that probably won't even matter.
12:33What does that mean?
12:34My lawyer has been telling me about all these other cases.
12:37There's this one woman whose case is so similar to mine.
12:43Textbook self-defense.
12:45She got seven years.
12:47You don't know all the details.
12:49Well, I know that self-defense can't guarantee freedom.
12:52The court has already failed me once.
12:55Sorry that I don't have faith in them right now.
12:58You can't give up.
12:59There's still hope.
13:01Yeah, but this feels like a fight that I can't win.
13:05You're not what I want.
13:08Afternoon.
13:09Hi.
13:10I ordered some takeaway.
13:12All of Lacey's favorites, please.
13:17I am so sorry about the article.
13:19You saw it?
13:20Yes, but I never meant for it to target Lacey like that.
13:24It was you who spoke to the paper?
13:27Yeah.
13:28Why would you do that, Abby?
13:30Because I really wanted to stop what happened to Lacey
13:32from happening to somebody else.
13:36Well, I just spoke to the DPP.
13:38The article is causing debate online
13:41and they're really concerned about the media attention.
13:43They are?
13:45The last thing that DPP wants
13:46is any suggestion of nepotism
13:48and favoring an officer's family.
13:50So they're reviewing Lacey's case.
13:55I am so sorry.
13:56I really didn't mean for any of this to happen.
13:58Look, I will call Lacey and I'll apologize.
14:00I'll do whatever I can.
14:01It's okay. I know.
14:02Look, this could end very badly for Lacey,
14:04so let's...
14:06Let's just give her some space for now.
14:13Come on.
14:13How are you?
14:14I'm sorry.
14:22How are you?
14:27Yeah.
14:28Best pub in town, eh?
14:31Cheapest beers, too.
14:32Thanks.
14:34Cheers.
14:35Yeah, cheers.
14:41What do you reckon of that, eh?
14:44It does the job.
14:47Yeah.
14:52So you and I actually do have a lot more in common than just the bay in this place.
15:00Are you afraid for something you didn't do?
15:02Murder?
15:02Yeah. I mean, the fella actually did it, owned up eventually, but by then it was too late.
15:08What was that?
15:09I was already on the run, so I've never faced court for escaping custody.
15:14Right.
15:19I guess you're right. Not so different after all.
15:29Apparently not.
15:40You relax. I'll cook you some dinner.
15:43No, I'm not hungry.
15:45You'll feel better after a fade.
15:47I doubt it.
15:48Look, Lacey's dad was right. I really messed things up.
15:51Should have waited until the charges were dropped before approaching a journalist.
15:55You shouldn't have done anything.
15:56Please don't start with me, Molly.
15:58It was Lacey's decision to make.
16:00Yeah, and I was just trying to be strong for her and for anyone in her situation.
16:03Yeah, but it's not about you.
16:05She's the one that we should have been looking after.
16:07Yeah? And what were you doing, Molly? Just sitting around doing nothing?
16:13Look, I just can't accept that this is how things are. It isn't right.
16:18I'm done.
16:20I'm tired of fighting with you.
16:31I'm sorry. I really wish I had better news.
16:36So, what do they mean by they're reviewing the case?
16:39It means they might not drop the charges, right?
16:42Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
16:44Things still might go our way.
16:49Let's, uh, think about dinner.
16:51I was going to get takeaway.
16:52Oh, well, actually...
16:54Oh, there he is. Thank you.
16:56Um, I figured you guys won't want to cook, so...
16:58Oh, this is great. Thank you.
17:00That's right. Um, we should leave them to it.
17:03Well, there's heaps here. Why don't you join us?
17:05Yeah, covered in grease, mate, from the garage. Going to need a shower.
17:09Fair enough. Maybe some other time. I'll cook even.
17:12Sounds great.
17:13Thank you so much for your support today.
17:16Mm, any time. And me not again.
17:19No. Thanks.
17:21Have a night.
17:22Night.
17:23Bye.
17:26Expecting Jo home for dinner?
17:28Oh, I haven't heard from her.
17:30I'm just going to give her a call.
17:32We should all be together tonight.
17:34Dad.
17:35Dad, I totally abandoned her.
17:37Dad, I'll have some space.
17:39I'm okay.
17:40Okay.
17:54So, little nugget.
17:56What are you going to do with this?
17:57I'm going to eat it this time.
17:59All of it?
17:59Yeah, all of it.
18:00Otherwise, no afternoon tea.
18:02Yeah.
18:03There you go.
18:04Thanks.
18:05I think he might be staying around here.
18:09No?
18:10You don't know?
18:10Excuse me.
18:11I'm so sorry.
18:12I didn't mean to startle you.
18:13I didn't mean to startle you.
18:14I was just going to ask you a question, if that's all right.
18:16I was wondering if you had seen this man around.
18:21Hey, meet me in the car.
18:22Yeah, okay.
18:25Sorry, can I have a close look?
18:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:27Of course you can.
18:28He would have arrived in town a couple of days ago.
18:32Hmm.
18:33Wish I could help, but he doesn't look familiar.
18:36Yeah.
18:36Yeah, no worries.
18:38I wonder if your boy's seen him.
18:39Oh, this is his first day out in over a week.
18:42Yeah, stomach bug.
18:43Oh, thanks for your help.
18:46Cheers.
18:52Who's that?
18:53Hey.
18:53Oh, don't know.
18:54Tourists, I guess.
19:18Jo Lang, this is Sergeant Lang, my father.
19:21I'm just wondering if she was rostered on today.
19:26She's on leave.
19:28When did this happen?
19:31Okay, thank you.
19:34Hey, is Newman in today?
19:36I thought you knew, Sarge.
19:38Knew what?
19:38Well, he's on leave.
19:40The paperwork's on your desk.
19:41Just need your signature.
19:54Newman, I hope you're not doing what I think you're doing.
19:57And you'd better not have taken my daughter with you.
20:13Good morning, Ricky.
20:15Is it?
20:17There's something wrong.
20:20Do you want to tell me why there were two strangers in town looking for you?
20:23What?
20:24They had a photo of you.
20:28Were they cops?
20:29I don't know.
20:30And I wasn't about to stick around to find out.
20:33I don't know what that's about.
20:34I'm sorry.
20:34Oh, you're sorry, are you?
20:37Do you have any idea what's at stake?
20:40Yes, of course I do, okay?
20:43How the hell do they know you're here?
20:54Get the tech boys to trace Newman's phone.
20:56I want to know where he is ASAP.
20:59Who the hell is Cash?
21:00He's a mate.
21:01So he's on your side then?
21:08Hey, Joe.
21:09Just get in the car, please.
21:10Are you sure he's a river boy?
21:12Yes, I'm sure.
21:13This is the break we've been waiting for.
21:17Stay in the car.
21:20What the hell were you thinking?
