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, you were hours from where you landed.
00:15Why wouldn't anyone come looking for you out here?
00:17Say I knew something, what 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.
00:43It didn't mean to kill him.
00:44It's a clear case of self-defense.
00:46Yeah, of course it is.
00:47I mean, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:31Morning.
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.
01:41It sure is.
01:42Hi.
01:43Hey.
01:43Have you got a sec?
01:46Coffee's calling.
01:47See you both later.
01:49I have a problem.
01:51So you're actually talking to me this morning, are you?
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.
02:08You need to show that to Lacey.
02:10Seriously, 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.
02:22Good luck.
02:27Abigail, it's Leah.
02:28Can you please call me back?
02:30It's important.
02:31Why does no one answer their phones?
02:33I 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.
02:40Why?
02:42Hi, Maz.
02:43How'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.
02:50We're talking about her 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, ask what?
02:58You had something to do with this.
03:02Yeah, I was trying to help.
03:04This was all going to go away.
03:05What do you mean?
03:07The DPP are considering dropping the charges against me.
03:11That's not great.
03:12Well, 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.
03:35I mean, 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.
03:51Okay.
03:56Are you okay?
04:05Marley, hi.
04:07Hey, you're back.
04:09Yeah.
04:09John's already bowed me down with all this paperwork.
04:12Good old JP doesn't like to waste time, does he?
04:14Yeah, exactly.
04:15Oh, can I ask you a question?
04:16Do you know what's happening with the gym?
04:18No, I don't.
04:19Okay, so the gym instructors don't know anything either and I just wondered if Tana had shared
04:23any plans with you before he left?
04:25No, he didn't.
04:27Oh, I just thought, you know, because you're friends.
04:29Coming on the run only works if no one knows what you're up to.
04:55Where's the case?
04:57Told him he can't leave his room till his homework's finished.
05:00Ah.
05:03I know you like that smoke, go.
05:07All right.
05:08I will get you blokes to run that fence line down to that white ant ball.
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, Goody.
05:20Great.
05:21All right, everyone, let's get into it.
05:22That's half the day gone.
05:25You sure you don't want to stay enough, Terry?
05:26Ah, tempting, 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.
05:39He wasn't given a job there, boss.
05:41Yeah, you 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.
06:04It's not as bad as you're imagining.
06:06Yet the headline grabs people's attention.
06:09By telling everyone that I'm a murderer.
06:12I know, it's awful.
06:14And the part about you being the cop's daughter isn't great either, but you're barely mentioned
06:19after that.
06:20They use your case to highlight how the courts are failing women.
06:23But still, what if the DPP reads it?
06:26If 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 and maybe he's got more information about this than we
06:43do, eh?
06:46This is Sergeant Langan from Yabby Creek Station.
06:48I'm just chasing up a decision on Lacey Miller's charges.
06:54Yep.
06:54Just on this mobile.
06:57Hey.
06:58Hi.
06:59Is everything okay?
06:59Yeah, I'm 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, I 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.
07:28You got there first, I 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.
07:58Good.
08:00Neither am I.
08:02Yeah.
08:06Texted you earlier.
08:09Yeah, I saw.
08:15Shared Lacey the article.
08:19How'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.
08:36They're just...
08:37They're just buried under a crazy headline.
08:43I get you're trying to help.
08:45This isn't your story to tell.
08:47We're never going to agree.
08:48Can you just please let me on?
08:53Okay.
08:57Is this 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.
09:18I'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,
09:33but 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.
09:46Okay.
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?
10:35I'll let you know as soon as you get this.

10:51gonna get there just like this see how much thanks
10:56hey you make that look easy you get used to it
11:00yeah I guess so you've never asked me how I ended up out here well I know the
11:08rules you don't like questions like you I don't like rules either
11:13but I actually know what it's like to have to leave your life behind for
11:17something you didn't do like it sucks at first doesn't feel fair but eventually
11:25yeah you get used to it
11:30do you ever stop missing it in your old life well I had it a lot easier than you
11:38I got to bring the best part of mine with me I mean I'd be stuffed without case and
11:42Rick you know the beaches here give some bay run for their money

12:28do to survive
12:30well in the end that probably wouldn't even matter
12:32what does that mean
12:35my lawyer has been telling me about all these other cases
12:38there's this one woman whose case is so similar to mine
12:43textbook self-defense
12:44she 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
12:57you can't give up there's still hope
13:01yeah but this feels like a fight that I can't win
13:08afternoon

13:10I ordered some takeaway
13:12all of Lacey's favorites please
13:17I am so sorry about the article

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 from happening to somebody else
13:35well I just spoke to the DPP
13:38the article is causing debate online and they're really concerned about the media attention
13:43they are
13:44the last thing the DPP want is any suggestion of nepotism and favoring an officer's family
13:50so they're reviewing Lacey's case
13:55I am so sorry I really didn't mean for any of this to happen
13:58look I will call Lacey and I'll apologize I'll do whatever I can
14:01it's okay I know
14:01look this could end very badly for Lacey so let's
14:06let's just give her some space for now

15:00are you afraid for something you're going to do
15:02better
15:03I mean the fella actually did it owned up eventually but by then it was too late
15:08what was it

16:00yeah and I was just trying to be strong for her
16:02and for anyone in her situation
