00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and away
00:08Don't hide.
00:09Seriously?
00:10I just hope I get to clear my name.
00:12I hope you realise what a mess you've made for yourself.
00:15Why would a man professing his innocence skip bail?
00:19Even if I'm found innocent of the drug charges,
00:21I ditched my ankle monitor and ran.
00:23I'm going to prison.
00:23Stop presuming the worst.
00:25And stop ignoring reality.
00:26You'll be in remand until he's trialled.
00:28Sweetheart, you had to know this is where it would land.
00:31Coming back here was a mistake.
00:33We should have stayed in WA.
00:35I would hate to be the bearer of bad news,
00:37but we've run out of time.
00:39How come?
00:39There's a guy called John Parwood.
00:40He's made it his mission to find out who's living here.
00:42So what are you suggesting we do?
00:44I'll turn myself in. Today.
00:49See you soon?
00:50Yeah, I'll do what I can.
00:51We'll just head through the interview room.
00:53I, um...
00:54I know where it is.
00:55Just picked this bloke up on the way back from a public disturbance call out, did you?
00:59Everything's above board, Sarge.
01:00Yeah, I'll be the judge of that.
01:01Isn't that funny how so many fugitives are turning themselves in lately?
01:17So what do you think of the bag?
01:19Probably seen any of it.
01:21You're looking at it now, mate!
01:24It's okay, I guess.
01:26Only okay?
01:29I reckon Dad could out-surf most of them.
01:32I reckon.
01:34And your Mum could out-surf all of them.
01:40Let's go for a walk.
01:41Yeah, okay.
01:47Okay.
01:55Hey!
01:56Hi!
01:56Just the person I was hoping to see.
01:58Yeah, I was gonna call you to see if you'd heard from Tanya.
02:00No, no.
02:01Nothing yet.
02:01But I called the prison to check in and he is allowed visitors from tomorrow.
02:05Great.
02:06Alright.
02:06Well, that's when we'll go.
02:07Together.

08:46the confession of the murder is on file
08:49dale braxton is no longer wanted for that crime
08:52the crime of escaping police custody was never dismissed though right
08:57you've done your homework
09:00i'll give the magistrate a call see how they want to play this
09:02in terms of what
09:03well an innocent man was in prison for a crime he didn't commit
09:06in light of that let's see how much of a blind eye they're willing to turn
09:10do you mind if i head in there sergeant
09:13i'm not sure what your investment is here newman but it better be above board
09:16it is above board
09:17good
09:19nothing beyond your restricted duties
09:20yes sergeant
09:30you heard from ricky
09:32yeah
09:32yeah she texts me she's getting worried about how long this has taken
09:36what's the story with your boss
09:38i can't get a read on him
09:40no
09:40neither can i
09:43he's getting on the phone to the magistrate now
09:45he's gonna see if they can come to an agreement
09:47is that a good or bad sign
09:49it's just standard procedure
09:53can you let ricky know that i'm alright
09:55yeah mate
09:56thanks
10:08basically i need a way to keep the business going on a smaller scale
10:12okay so you're thinking of operating out of the lyric van
10:15yeah i was helping out this regular client who had broken down on the side of the highway
10:19and that got me thinking you know i i don't need to work out of a shop
10:24i could be mobile
10:24i could be mobile
10:25okay but are you sure you want to do this because i can loan you the cash to rent a
10:28new premises
10:29that's very generous okay but i really think this is the way forward
10:32i can be flexible with my hours
10:34i don't need to maintain a full working garage
10:37i only have to make a few modifications to the van
10:40but then
10:42i think i can make this work if it's okay by you and eden
10:45okay i'll talk to eden
10:47great
10:47great
10:49you know what if she says no
10:51i'll think of something else

16:06I really appreciate it.
16:07I'm Remy, by the way.
16:08Oh, Casey, and this is my mum, Ricky.
16:10Hi, Remy.
16:10Hi.
16:12You're good now?
16:13I am.
16:13Yeah, thank you.
16:14You raised a good kid here.
16:16What kind of I?
16:17I had a bit of help from his dad.
16:25Morning, gentlemen.
16:27Sarge, I'm happy to take him to court.
16:29Phones, files, coffees.
16:30We've had this conversation.
16:32Yes, Sarge.
16:32I'm escorting you to court.
16:34Mr Braxton, you ready?
16:35Ready as I can, babe.
16:36Good luck, mate.
16:37Thanks.
16:42Cash.
16:43Hi.
16:44Papa, you're back.
16:45Where's Archie?
16:46With Maz.
16:47I need to talk to you.
16:48Okay.
16:48How can I help you?
16:49How are things going with Tana's case?
16:51Yeah, there really is no case.
16:54What?
16:55So you're not looking for my mum?
16:57Look, Harper, I want to find your mum as much as you do.
16:59But I've exhausted every lead.
17:02So that's it?
17:04Well, short of a miracle, Tana's best chance lies with his defence now.
17:09I thought you would be scrambling to keep your best mate out of prison, but I guess I'm wasting my
17:12time.
17:13Harper.
17:17He's so gorgeous, Tana.
17:19Honestly.
17:19And he slept like an angel, right, Jo?
17:24Uh, yeah, yeah.
17:25Um, I actually took a photo to show you, but I didn't realise I'd take my phone away.
17:31That's okay.
17:32Just glad the boy hasn't given his mum a hard time.
17:34Mm.
17:36How about you?
17:37How are you travelling with everything?
17:39Oh, um, that, yeah.
17:42We're travelling well.
17:43Am I missing you?
17:45Not what?
17:47I'm pregnant.
17:49Really?
17:50Yeah, 13 weeks now.
17:52Congratulations.
17:53Thanks.
17:54It's great, eh?
17:55Yeah, it is.
17:57Listen, Harper mentioned that he didn't want Archie to visit you.
18:02Oh, I don't want to talk about that.
18:04It's not going to happen.
18:05Come on, Tana, listen.
18:06Can we just drop it, please?
18:08He, he, honestly, he's not going to remember.
18:10I just really want you to think about it.
18:11I don't want to expose him to this place or the people in it, okay?
18:15Can we talk about something else?
18:16Yes, fine.
18:19What about the case?
18:21What about it?
18:22It's hopeless.
18:24Well, no, it's not.
18:26You can't give up.
18:27The cops have been useless so far.
18:29Yeah, well, the cops aren't the only ones trying to find people.
18:33What does that mean?
18:34Yeah, good question.
18:35Well, you know something like that.
18:36No.
18:36No, I'm just saying that there are many ways to skin a cat,
18:41and I think it serves us to remember that.
18:50All right.
18:52You know, I'm more than happy to drive you home.
18:54I know.
18:54This is fine.
18:55Okay.
18:57Well, that's a good result.
18:58Yes, the best I could have hoped for.
19:03Ah.
19:07As far as coppers go, you're pretty decent.
19:11You're not bad for a river boy.
19:13Thanks for all that.
19:14Yeah.
19:17Take it easy.
19:18You too.
19:18I was fine in the silence.
19:21Built a life behind glass.
19:26All right.
19:29That better be the last time I see you get out of a cop car.
19:32Oh, I can't make any promises.
19:34Let's just celebrate now, eh?
19:36Why?
19:37You know those rules we talked about?
19:40Yeah, I do.
19:40You can forget them.
19:41It's all sorted.
19:42We can do whatever we want now.
19:44For real?
19:44Yeah.
19:45So then can we go to the beach?
19:46Yeah, mate.
19:47Yes.
19:49See, they still reckon coming back here was a bad idea or what?
19:52Don't push it.
19:53Yeah?
19:56Right.
19:57Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
20:02I might give you two some time together.
20:11Hi.
20:12Can I get out, please?
20:13Doesn't work like that.
20:15Come in together, you leave together.
20:16Oh, um, I'm pregnant.
20:20Congratulations.
20:22Yeah, listen, there's a really high chance I'm going to vomit, like, right now, all over you.
20:28I'll show you out.
20:29Yeah, thank you.
20:30It's all.
20:34It's really good to see you.
20:36You okay?
20:38Yeah, I'm fine.
20:40It's good to see you too.
20:44Honestly, you don't seem fine.
20:48Yeah, but I guess I just didn't actually think about what this would be like.
20:55And what, do you think that's too much?
21:09Every time I come see you, I'm going to get searched.
21:12And then we get to sit at a picnic table and try and find five seconds to hold hands.
21:17Rinse and repeat for 15 years.
21:19Is that what this relationship is going to be?
21:22I tried to move on.
21:23I even married someone else.
21:25But somehow, I always wound up back with Brax.
21:29I'm just not even sure if Tarni and I are going to get that chance.
21:31Unless the person who framed him comes forward.
