00:00You're friendly and now it's just...
00:03Everything's changed, even Robbie.
00:05You could always come with me.
00:07What?
00:09We could find somewhere else, just the two of us.
00:13Detective Peter Baker.
00:16How are you?
00:17Claire.
00:23The stalker might not have had anything to do with this.
00:26There could be a thousand reasons why Leva's not here.
00:28And the blood?
00:28We're just trying to locate someone who we think is renting space from.
00:31A guy named Wal Haris.
00:39Peter.
00:59Damn it!
01:05Oh, come on, Cole.
01:07Mangrove River's got twice our manpower.
01:08My double this.
01:09We're trying to go cold if we don't widen the search around Browning's warehouse right away.
01:15Okay, thanks.
01:15Yes, yes.
01:16I owe you.
01:17Bye-bye.
01:19We're getting four more uniforms from Mangrove River.
01:21When?
01:22Within the hour.
01:24Detective Baker, you better come look at this.
01:31Same as last time.
01:34Just careful.
01:34If he's licked the seal, we can get the DNA sample.
01:36Not unless he's losing his touch.
01:46You still believe what happened to Tom Leaver was an accident?
01:49Bag it and get it to forensic.
01:52Just you and me.
01:53Great little apartment.
01:56City centre.
01:57We would have a ball.
01:58You know, I would love to, but how can I?
02:01I mean, there's so much I'd have to give up.
02:03What's there to give up?
02:04The men in our lives have wiped us.
02:06The only family we've got is each other.
02:08Well, there's Irene and there's Kim.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Well, I'm not saying that friends aren't important, but they're not family.
02:15Not like us.
02:16I know, and that's why I don't want you to go.
02:18I don't want you to stay.
02:21Well, what about my school?
02:24Easily fixed.
02:25You can have your pick of schools in the city, and you'll be closer to Dylan too.
02:30Oh, yeah, that's true.
02:32We have kind of lost touch a bit.
02:33Yeah, we shouldn't.
02:34He's your half-brother.
02:36Wouldn't it be great to spend more time with him?
02:39I just...
02:39Oh, this is all happening so fast.
02:41Do you have to leave tomorrow?
02:42Can't you wait till next week or something?
02:44Dash, look around you.
02:45Everything's packed.
02:47Josie, I just need more time to think.
02:49There's a big wide world waiting for you.
02:51It's your call.
02:54But it's tomorrow for me.
03:03The rules must be observed.
03:05It's tradition.
03:06Miss Grope has always been done this way.
03:08Yeah, but Colleen, it doesn't...
03:09But you can't go changing things.
03:11It says here the stage has to be nine aces long.
03:15Surely it can't be that important.
03:17Have you seen the way some of those young girls walk like ducks?
03:20The judges need time to assess them properly.
03:23Speaking of judges, who do we have exactly?
03:25Oh, well, we've got Barry, Hyde, our elf, and we need someone else.
03:30Well, our woman, perhaps.
03:32Um, Beth Hunter.
03:34Now, Beth Hunter can't be a judge.
03:36Young Matilda's in the pageant.
03:38She'd be biased.
03:39Well, fine.
03:40I'll do it.
03:41Why don't you be biased towards Tasha?
03:43Well, seeing as we're all adults here, I'm sure that doesn't matter.
03:46Yeah, Irene, you can be a judge.
03:48Uh, on second thoughts, Colleen, I'll probably be pretty busy on the day, actually.
03:52Well, I'd offer, but I'll be busy with catering, so...
03:54Just get Beth to do it.
03:55I'm sure she'll be impartial, and we are kind of running out of time to find someone else, so...
03:59But I don't think that should be...
04:00Well, you know, you just said it doesn't matter.
04:02Oh, all right.
04:05Okay, we need a guard for the change room.
04:07Well, sounds like a job for you, big fella.
04:09Have you got a dinner suit?
04:11You have to be formally attired.
04:14Um, just put me down on the grunt list.
04:16Move, carry, whatever.
04:18Back in a second.
04:21Hey, uh, what are you doing?
04:23What does it look like?
04:25Donuts are affecting your brain, that's why.
04:27What are you doing with Samantha?
04:29Tasha and I have broken up.
04:30Well, only because you were being an idiot.
04:32You weren't there, you don't know what happened.
04:34No, but I can see what's happening now.
04:36You guys are meant to be together, but you're just too stubborn to admit it.
04:39And you're sitting him on your girlfriend's seat.
04:41Hey.
04:48Hey.
04:49Well.
04:52Rees.
04:57Well.
05:00Harris.
05:04H-A-R-I-S-S.
05:08Double S.
05:10E.
05:10I'm sorry.
05:46Guys, I told you to be out here.
05:53You know, I get to spend heaps of time with Josie and be with Dylan all the time.
06:03You're not seriously thinking about leaving.
06:05And I was thinking, what am I actually going to be staying here for after I've moved my
06:08HSC?
06:09You are.
06:10I actually don't know what I'm thinking, so don't say anything until I've decided.
06:14All right, but at least be honest about your reasons.
06:15This is about Robbie.
06:17No, it's not.
06:18It's because of me.
06:19It's about my future.
06:21Josie's all I've really got.
06:23Oh, thanks a lot.
06:25Kim, you know I love you.
06:26And Renia too, but it's just, it's different with Josie.
06:29We're sorry, what alternate universe are we talking about here?
06:33The one where you've got your dad, and Irene's got your dad, and Hayley's got Scott.
06:40And everyone's got someone.
06:42And you've got Robbie.
06:44Then why is he with Samantha?
06:46Well, you know the answer to that.
06:49Tash, you guys had a stupid fight and it got out of hand.
06:52Well, you love him, he loves you.
06:53Isn't it about time you guys sorted this out?
06:54It was not just a stupid fight.
06:57It really hurt my feelings.
06:58Well, deep down somewhere he knows that.
07:01Then why is he trying to make it up to me?
07:03Well, he did try and you sent him packing.
07:07Listen, Tash, I know it might be unfair, but you might have to be the bigger person here.
07:11Otherwise you're going to end up making a big mistake.
07:16So, what should we order?
07:17Actually, I'm not that hungry.
07:19Oh, you wouldn't credit it.
07:21Councillor Len Green has just pulled out as official MC of Miss Grover.
07:25Well, he has lost my vote in the next election.
07:27That's so inconsiderate.
07:29Why couldn't he break his ankle last week instead of 24 hours before the event?
07:33Come on, Colleen, I'm sure we can find a replacement.
07:36Yeah, but who?
07:36We need someone with charm, charisma, someone who can win over the crowd.
07:41Like Dan did, for Noah's benefit?
07:43Uh, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think so.
07:45Yeah, I remember.
07:46No, no, no, look, that was a one-off and it was for a good cause.
07:50Oh, so is this.
07:51Oh, thank you, Daniel.
07:52You've saved the day.
07:54Thanks very much.
07:57Oh, what do you do?
07:59You know I thank you.
08:01What you do, you promise you.
08:03My heart's waiting.
08:04What you do.
08:09It's lucky.
08:12Get your backside out of here.
08:15No can do.
08:16I've got to wait for the, uh, the forensic report on our stalker's note.
08:19That wasn't a request.
08:19That was an order.
08:21I'm pulling rank.
08:23Come on.
08:24I'll stick around.
08:25Call you when it comes through.
08:27Okay, thanks.
08:28Have you got my home number?
08:29Go!
08:31Go!
08:32Go!
08:33Oh, my God.
09:06It's too late. He's gone.
09:19I've got to get you to a hospital.
09:20Don't worry about it. I ducked at just the right time.
09:23The search team is spreading out towards the gully.
09:25Can you get the dog squad out?
09:26Look, it'll be too late. The stalker's lawn go on.
09:29It's just arrived.
09:30Forensic report on the note.
09:32Oh, same as the last time.
09:34Your fingerprints know nothing.
09:35It's like chasing a ghost.
09:37Yeah, but he made his first mistake.
09:39I mean, we nearly had him tonight.
09:40He's getting overconfident. He's coming on to our turn.
09:43Yeah, he nearly succeeded, Claire.
09:44Yeah, but he didn't, did he?
09:45Look, if it hadn't been for sheer blind luck,
09:47I'd be in the morgue right now.
09:48Look, if I hadn't dropped my keys,
09:49and if the car alarm hadn't gone off,
09:51and if you hadn't turned up when you did...
09:56Thank you, by the way.
10:00Well, look, there's nothing more we can do here,
10:02so I'm going to take you home.
10:04No, forget about it.
10:05I couldn't sleep now if you paid me.
10:07Fine.
10:07Well, then I'll buy you a drink.
10:09Still scotch, Matt?
10:10Claire.
10:17There you go, mate.
10:18Thanks, mate.
10:19Things have changed.
10:21Whatever happened to the straight shots of whiskey?
10:23Oh, what?
10:23You mean when I was young and stupid enough
10:25to believe that it might impress you?
10:26Well, it must have worked.
10:27That's all I can remember.
10:29Ah, so this is how it's done.
10:31The police force hard at work protecting the community, huh?
10:33Mate, what's that for?
10:34You'd better put that away, or I might have to arrest you.
10:36Oh, you know tasteless innuendo
10:37about the miscropor pageant things.
10:39It's taken very seriously around here.
10:41Oh, this is a brother of stupid, Dan.
10:43This is Claire Brody.
10:44Oh, hi.
10:44Ah, the Claire Brody.
10:46Well, glad to finally put a face to the name.
10:48Likewise.
10:49What was it you wanted me to help you with, mate?
10:51Oh, at this stage, it's just been delivered outside.
10:53Yeah, but it's in bits and pieces.
10:54You're not going to put it together now, are you?
10:55Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
10:56That's something I want you to help me.
10:58Well, I'll explain when you go out.
10:59Sorry, nice to meet you.
11:00Jim.
11:01Just keep an eye on the bar, eh?
11:03I don't want to be robbed.
11:06So that's why you came here?
11:07Family?
11:08No, I just got sick of the big city
11:09and then a position came up, so I took it.
11:11I mean, Dan wasn't here then, so...
11:12You applied for this backwater?
11:14Yeah.
11:16After the buzz of a city CIB,
11:17doesn't it pull the pants off you?
11:19Are you joking?
11:20I mean, I came here for a say in her life,
11:22and, you know, look what's happening.
11:26Oh, gee whiz, it's almost nine o'clock.
11:28Early.
11:28That's sort of something else.
11:30I'd love to, but I've got a stack of homework to catch up on.
11:33No worries, we'll do it together.
11:34Oh, thank you, but Mum has this rule,
11:36no girls in the house when I'm meant to be studying.
11:39All right, I do want to get your mum offside.
11:41I'll see you tomorrow then.
11:43What's wrong?
11:44Nothing.
11:46We're cool, aren't we?
11:47Yeah, of course.
11:48Good, cos I know we've only decided to see each other, but...
11:51Listen, Sam, I really like you.
11:54Too early for the heavy stuff, all right.
11:55It's not just that.
11:57The thing is, I haven't been completely honest with you.
12:02I'm still kind of hooked on someone else.
12:05Tasha?
12:06I know, I should have told you earlier, and I'm sorry.
12:09I really am.
12:32Hey, um, how's the matter?
12:35Sam?
12:36Um, yeah, she's okay.
12:40Actually, things are going really well.
12:44I'm fucking glad.
12:45I'm fine.
12:46I'm fine.
12:48I'm fine.
12:49I'm fine.
12:50I'm fine.
12:50I'm fine.
12:51I'm fine.
12:51I'm fine.
12:52I'm fine.
12:53I'm fine.
13:05Hey, you're Ellie.
13:08I've made a decision.
13:13You're leaving.
13:14I tried to tell her she's making a big mistake.
13:17Excuse me, you knew about this?
13:19Yeah, I told him not to say anything, not until I got my head around it.
13:22Yeah, well, you better get my head around it too, girly.
13:24Lini, look, please try and understand, okay?
13:27I love you.
13:28I love all of you, but Josie's my family.
13:31What about your schooling?
13:32It's not that easy to transfer.
13:34Well, she's promised to pretty much get me into any school that I want.
13:37Yeah, I bet she has.
13:38Oh, come on.
13:39Don't be angry with her.
13:40She's been great.
13:41Helping me sort out how I really feel.
13:43What exactly has she said to you?
13:45Oh, nothing that wasn't true.
13:46I just didn't realise it.
13:48Look, can we just steady on here a minute, girly?
13:51Why can't you just wait till the end of the school year and then see how things look then?
13:55I can't.
13:56She's leaving this afternoon.
13:57So am I.
13:59Today?
14:00Yeah, straight after the pageant.
14:02Well, you don't even get a chance to talk about this.
14:05I've made up my mind.
14:06Oh, come on, Tash, for God's sake.
14:07Come out and change it, okay?
14:09You can't.
14:24Good night.
14:29Yeah.
14:31Yes, so that's a definite.
14:34Okay, thanks, Maury.
14:36Fingerprints.
14:37They found a set at the warehouse that positively matched the ones on the bomb.
14:40One problem.
14:41The prints aren't on record.
14:42Yeah, well, at least we know it's the same guy.
14:45Did you get any sleep last night?
14:47A little.
14:48You look dreadful.
14:52Oh.
14:52No, no, no.
14:53Make yourself at home.
14:56Oh, and there's no listing for a wall harassed in any directory, local or interstate.
15:01Yes, I know, and nobody in this world spells the name Harris with one R, two S's and an E.
15:05And there is something else about that name that just keeps bugging me.
15:09Well, you don't need me bugging you too.
15:13Um, I had a good night last night.
15:18Yeah, me too.
15:26Yeah, me too.
15:56No question, Walharis is an anagram for Sarah Lewis.
15:59Now everything falls into place.
16:00Okay, look, I buy the anagram.
16:02Can you just, can you slide down for a minute?
16:03Come on, what's the one thing that we've been missing out on the whole time, Claire?
16:06Well, look, there's a probable motive in someone out to get revenge for Sarah.
16:10No, no, that's the bleeding obvious.
16:11I'm talking about something else.
16:12Okay, we know, we know for a fact that our stalker has an insider's local knowledge, right?
16:16Right.
16:16Hell bent on getting revenge for Sarah Lewis.
16:18Yeah, well, probably.
16:19What are you saying, though?
16:20Okay, so what if it is Sarah Lewis?
16:23Okay, well, you'd be crazy because Sarah Lewis is dead.
16:27You know that?
16:27No, I don't know that for sure, Claire.
16:29What I do know for a fact is that Sarah Lewis was still alive when the ambulance picked her up.
16:33What we were told is that she...
16:34Critically wounded people don't just disappear.
16:36Sarah Lewis is dead and buried, okay?
16:39There's an autopsy report, a coroner's inquest, a hospital records.
16:42And have you cited them?
16:44And if you have, do you know that it was definitely her?
16:46God, now is not the time to lose the plot, I'm right, okay?
16:49No, I... Yes, I know that, but it's worth checking it out, though, Claire, isn't it?
16:58Sweetheart, we need to talk.
16:59Really? I've got nothing else to say.
17:01Well, then let me do the talking.
17:03Look, love, this isn't a decision that you can make overnight.
17:07There is too much to consider here.
17:09Yeah, and I have.
17:10Well, then please, will you just tell me why you're leaving?
17:13And I know it's not just because of Josie.
17:16Hey, Kim said it's something to do with Robbie, with him seeing another girl, is it?
17:22No, that's only a small part of it.
17:24I just...
17:25I was thinking, what's actually keeping me here?
17:28And don't take it the wrong way, Renee, you've been so good to me.
17:32And I'm always going to be grateful, but I just...
17:34You know, things change.
17:36Yeah, so?
17:37There's no reason to move to the flippin' city.
17:40Look, I'll still visit all the time, and you can visit it too, in the city.
17:44Josie even said so.
17:45Yeah, I wonder what else she said.
17:47Oh, come on, let's not fight.
17:49Let's just enjoy our last day together.
17:54Oh, that woman!
17:56She's not content ruining her own life.
17:58Oh, no, she's got to ruin Tasha's as well.
18:00You have to admit that she loves the girl.
18:02So do I.
18:06Maybe you have to let her go.
18:08I don't mean to sound harsh, but she's going to leave the nest sooner or later.
18:13If she's made up her mind, there's nothing you can do about it.
18:17Don't bet on it.
18:24You and me need to talk.
18:28Morning, Irene.
18:29Why aren't you forcing Tash to go into the city with you?
18:32I am not forcing her to do anything.
18:34I made her an offer.
18:35Oh, really?
18:36And what offer was that?
18:37Come with me or never see me again?
18:39It wasn't like that.
18:40Look, Josie, you know how upset she is at the moment about Robbie.
18:43Why are you taking advantage of her at a time like this?
18:46And you should know, she is capable of making up her own mind.
18:48And tell me this.
18:50Where are you going to live, eh?
18:51How are you going to make a quid?
18:52God help us if it's the same set-up we found you in.
18:55You should know that there is no way that I would ever compromise Tasha.
18:59You haven't answered my question.
19:01Why don't you come over once we've settled in?
19:03Oh, yeah, and what about that, eh?
19:05Once you've settled in, what happens when the novelty of having a teenage girl running
19:09around the joint suddenly wears off?
19:11Why is it so hard for you to understand that she is really happy?
19:13Because the more I get to know you, Josie, the more I realise that your motives are never
19:18what they seem.
19:19Just listen to me.
19:20No, no, no.
19:21No, you, listen to me.
19:22The only way you are getting your hands on that girl is over my dead body.
19:35Ambulance details missing.
19:37Okay, autopsy report gone.
19:39Hospital admission, no record whatsoever.
19:41Every piece of documentation relating to Sarah Lewis has completely vanished.
19:45Or they've been misfiled.
19:46Every department head I spoke to agreed that it's suspicious.
19:49If you want to call them, here are their phone numbers.
19:51Let's just think this through, okay?
19:52Okay, number one, um, there's no possible way that Sarah Lewis could still be alive.
19:58Oh, so what do you think happened to her files then, Claire?
20:00Look, I don't know.
20:02I admit, it does sound strange.
20:04Strange?
20:05Look, I know this sounds crazy, okay, but I've just got this feeling that Sarah is still...
20:32Who's the best-looking babe in the bay?
20:35The pageant's here.
20:36The pageant's here.
