00:02The father of your baby has come high.
00:05I can't believe I'm going to be a dad.
00:07I'm just going to have to find a way to make it work for all of us.
00:11My mystery better was the Macklin Corporation.
00:14You're a flaming kid.
00:15Macklin as in Brett Macklin.
00:18Your biological father.
00:21The sooner we catch this person, the better.
00:23Which is why we need hypnosis.
00:25Enough. I don't want to hear it again.
00:26And I promise you this, if anything ugly comes out of this morning's stupidity,
00:31it's your neck on the block.
00:32End of discussion.
00:33What's wrong?
00:34There's someone at the door. Hang on.
00:40Hi, what are you doing?
00:43Zoe.
00:45Zoe.
00:46Zoe, you there?
00:54Zoe!
00:55Zoe!
00:56Zoe!
00:58Zoe!
01:13Zoe!
01:13Zoe!
01:18You've got to come with me.
01:19What's going on?
01:20Someone's got Zoe.
01:21I don't know.
01:22Slow down, mate.
01:22What's going on?
01:23We're on the phone and someone attacked her.
01:25Now there's blood in the caravan.
01:26I don't know, right?
01:27But you've got to come.
01:30The lady's on his way.
01:32We've got to find her, Flynn.
01:33Did you say who was at the door?
01:35No, she just started screaming and then dropped the phone.
01:38God, where is she?
01:39What the hell is happening here?
01:40I don't know, right?
01:41But she's hurt and she's somewhere out there and we can't just stand here and do nothing.
01:44Zoe!
01:45Zoe!
01:46Zoe!
01:46Zoe!
01:48I've been leaving messages for you guys ever since I heard.
01:51Where have you been?
01:53We just wanted to get the results back before we spoke to anyone.
01:57Anne?
01:59Kim's the father.
02:04Well, you know, you're pregnant, right?
02:07I could still be excited.
02:09Sorry, Scott.
02:09Can't...
02:10Don't be sorry.
02:11You're allowed to be excited.
02:13We are.
02:14Good.
02:16Um...
02:16I'll be back.
02:20Are we really excited?
02:23We are.
02:27I'm just so glad we're not trying to pretend with people.
02:30Yeah.
02:30Yeah.
02:31It is.
02:32One less thing to worry about.
02:33We've got so much to sort out.
02:37I hope you're prepared for all this.
02:42I wonder if I really don't mind me staying where I am until the baby's born.
02:48What am I saying?
02:49Of course, she'll love it.
02:52But listen, I've got to go.
02:53I said I'd go and see Mum as soon as we found a result, so...
02:56Do you want me to come with you?
02:58No, you stay here.
02:59Check to later.
03:09What's the Macklin Corporation doing back in the bay?
03:11That's what I want to know.
03:12Buying up office space, it would seem.
03:14Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like the sound of it.
03:17One would have thought they'd have learnt their lesson with the fiasco of the sands.
03:20That resort down the road?
03:21Yes.
03:21A lot of people around here weren't too happy about it.
03:24So not many people liked my father.
03:26Well, in those days your father wasn't working there very much, and your Aunt Stacy was.
03:31Stacy was a nice enough girl.
03:33But I tell you what, that development made it pretty hairy around here for a while.
03:37Well, just because a corporation has an office here doesn't mean that anything's going on.
03:41Maybe not.
03:43But I'll tell you something right now.
03:44I intend to find out.
03:49Hello?
03:50Anyone here?
03:53Hello?
04:01Hello, Morag.
04:04Well.
04:05Brett Macklin.
04:07Actually, I'm glad you popped by.
04:08I wanted to apologise for gazumping you.
04:12Really?
04:13Well, that's almost clever, aren't I, of you, because I wanted to know why you'd bother.
04:16We've got a bit of business we have to take care of up here.
04:18And clearly, we both saw what an asset this office could be.
04:21And what business is that, exactly?
04:24Expanding.
04:24Developing.
04:25Just some bits and pieces.
04:27Mm-hmm.
04:27Why here?
04:28Why now?
04:30Why you?
04:32Still the same.
04:33No-nonsense, Morag.
04:34Yes, I am.
04:36And if you think I'm leaving this office without an explanation, you are sadly mistaken.
04:42We've looked on the beach around the pipe.
04:44There's no sign of her.
04:44I should have called you guys sooner.
04:46Mate, why don't you just go home, okay?
04:47Come around the station later on and make a statement.
04:49No, I'm fine.
04:50What's going on?
04:50What's happened to Zoe?
04:51Look, we don't know yet, Colleen, so just please give us some space, okay?
04:54I am a resident here, Detective Baker.
04:56This is my home.
04:56I've got a right to know what's happening.
04:58We're not exactly sure what's happening, so just give us some room to move, okay?
05:02Looks like him.
05:05Oh, no.
05:06It's a stalker.
05:07Colleen.
05:07He's taken her.
05:08He's kidnapped Zoe.
05:09Colleen, they're just trying to do the job, okay?
05:11None of us.
05:11What's he done to her?
05:12Get her out of here.
05:13All right.
05:13Come on, get her.
05:15I don't understand.
05:16If it's him, the stalker, why has he targeted Zoe?
05:19Petey can probably answer that.
05:25What about you and Hayley?
05:28Is this going to affect things between you two?
05:32No, it's not.
05:34Right.
05:37What?
05:38I'm going to be there for her.
05:40This isn't about Hayley.
05:42This is about you being there for another man's child.
05:46Yeah, I know.
05:46What?
05:48You're okay with that.
05:52I'm not saying that it's going to be easy, but I love Hayley and I need to be with her.
05:59I wanted to be the father so badly.
06:04I just didn't think it would hurt this much.
06:11He's dealing with it so well.
06:13He's just been fantastic about the whole thing.
06:16Really?
06:18Yeah, we saw him.
06:19The way he's making the best of it and there's never been a question about us staying together.
06:24Well, you're a lucky girl.
06:26You don't have to tell me.
06:28I know so.
06:29Hello, ladies.
06:30Hey.
06:31Oh, so how's motherhood treating you so far?
06:33Oh, Pop.
06:35It's just terrible.
06:37What's wrong?
06:38You'll never guess what's happened.
06:40You'll never guess.
06:42I was talking to her on the phone and she said she heard a noise outside.
06:45What sort of noise?
06:46She didn't say.
06:49She told me to hang on and then I heard her open the door.
06:53And she said, what are you doing here?
06:55As if she knew who she was talking to.
06:57Yeah.
07:00Except then she started screaming and dropped the phone.
07:03Could you hear what was going on?
07:04No, I couldn't.
07:05She was screaming.
07:07And then there was a kind of thud and that was it.
07:09So then what did you do?
07:10Well, I ran over there as fast as I could.
07:12You didn't need to call us?
07:13No, I didn't.
07:15Look, I wanted to help her.
07:16Okay, so once you saw the caravan, you went up to the house and Flynn called us from there.
07:20Do you reckon you know what's happened to her?
07:22Well, no, we don't, mate, but we're going to find her, okay?
07:25And listen, your dad's here, so why don't you take off for a while and we'll call you.
07:33Is there any news?
07:35Uh, we have officers out there searching the immediate area.
07:38Okay.
07:39How are you?
07:40Yeah, fine.
07:41I know that it must be difficult.
07:42Here we go, please.
07:48He shouldn't have got his hopes up.
07:50Well, I didn't think that I did.
07:51You know, we don't know what this person wants.
07:53They could just be holding Zoe somewhere.
07:55She could be fine.
07:56Oh, yeah.
07:57And, uh, looking at the stalker's profile so far, what are the chances of that?
08:08You can't believe everything you read, Morag.
08:11Oh, the articles seem very well documented.
08:13Look, when Dad died, Macklin's development arm was scaled back, but we've still got a few irons in the fire.
08:19Such as?
08:21Stacy's got a few things going in Melbourne.
08:23Yes, but you're here.
08:27Ah, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your daughter is also here, would it?
08:33It might.
08:34So that's what this is all about.
08:36Look, let me put it this way.
08:38I would like to get to know Martha.
08:40And this seemed like the perfect opportunity of mixing business with pleasure.
08:48And they haven't got a clue?
08:50Nope.
08:50They just dragged her from the van and now...
08:52Don't give up on her yet.
08:54We're just waiting to see what happens.
09:00Hey.
09:01Hey.
09:02Are you okay?
09:03Yeah, fine Zoe could be dead, but...
09:05Kim, that's not going to help anyone.
09:08You'd better not be blaming yourself for this.
09:10You didn't do this and whoever's gonna get caught, okay?
09:14She's right.
09:14It's got nothing to do with you.
09:16There's a psycho out there.
09:19We've just gotta wait and see if they can catch him soon.
09:23So you've searched the whole caravan park?
09:24The park, Zoe's van, this is everything of hers we can find.
09:28Any physical evidence?
09:29We haven't found anything yet, but they're still out there looking.
09:31Look, if the stalker's working off a set pattern, then maybe Zoe ended up in the boot of the car
09:35like I did.
09:36So we need to do a serious vehicle check, okay?
09:38Let me know.
09:39Sure.
09:51Happy for a psychic connection?
09:52Look, I don't need to hear it again, okay?
09:54Oh, actually, Peter, I think you do.
09:56Look, there was nothing to say that the stalker even knew about Zoe in the hypnosis suggestion.
10:00The whole town knew.
10:01You may as well have painted a target on the poor girl.
10:03You'd love to prove that, wouldn't you?
10:04Just show me up on my own case.
10:06Actually, Peter, it's my case now.
10:09But I need the history you've got with it so I guess we're stuck with each other.
10:13Right, now, what I wanna do is I wanna make up a detailed timeline of the entire case, okay?
10:18We're gonna go over every detail, every movement the stalker has ever made,
10:22no matter how small or insignificant it might be, okay?
10:24We're gonna get this guy before he hurts anyone else.
10:28Is that clear?
10:31There you go, look.
10:36Ah, how'd you get on?
10:38Well, I met the representative of the Macklin Corporation.
10:41Barracuda in a suit, I bet.
10:43Actually, it was your father.
10:45He's here.
10:46Yes.
10:47My auntie wants to see you.
10:48But last time I met him in the city, he didn't wanna know me.
10:51Well, apparently, he's changed his mind.
10:53Did he say anything about what he's up to?
10:55Oh, no, he was playing his cards very close to his chest.
10:57Just for a change.
10:58The only thing he did concede was that he wanted to get to know Martha better.
11:03Oh, this is just weird.
11:04Well, that may well be.
11:05But the question is, do you want to get to know him?
11:11Thanks for being here.
11:13I can't believe how nervous I am.
11:15Well, just think of how nervous your old man's gonna be.
11:17After meeting up with Alf after all these years.
11:22Well, we're about to find out.
11:25Brett, you remember my brother Alfred?
11:28Mr. Stewart?
11:30Long time.
11:32And, of course, Martha.
11:36Hello again.
11:37Hi.
11:39Look, I just want to start by saying that I know I did a really bad job of this last
11:43time,
11:43especially since you made all the effort to come and find me.
11:46Yeah, well, it's okay.
11:47No, no, it isn't.
11:48And I'm really glad that you agreed to see me this time.
11:51So, thank you.
11:56Hey, Brett Macklin.
11:58Jesse McGregor.
11:59And you are?
12:00Jesse's a friend of mine.
12:03He's a bit old for you, isn't he?
12:08We've got to go.
12:10Right.
12:11He's still really down.
12:13Yeah, we tried talking to him, but...
12:15Well, thanks for trying.
12:17See you later.
12:18See you later.
12:23Here, I got you something to eat.
12:25I'm not hungry.
12:26You really should try to eat something.
12:27I said I'm not hungry.
12:29This is gonna help things, is it?
12:30Oh, look, nothing is gonna help, okay?
12:32And I'm not gonna eat your stupid sandwiches.
12:34Oh, he's gone.
12:35She hasn't gone, Kim.
12:36She's missing.
12:37No, she's gone, okay?
12:38And I could've done something...
12:39No, you couldn't.
12:40You don't know what happened.
12:41Yes, I do.
12:42If I could've done something, if I'd thought, or...
12:45I panicked, you know?
12:46You have to stop blaming yourself.
12:49If I'd stopped for one second, Dad, and then called Flynn, or called the police, anything...
12:53I let her down.
12:54I let her down.
12:58Oh, now she's dead.
13:02Okay.
13:15Never expected before in love with you.
13:17Bounce, Friday, 8.30.
13:20Tonight's an amazing Thursday with My Restaurant Rules.
13:23All new lost at 8.40.
13:25Then the amazing race at 9.40.
13:27Tonight on 7.
13:30It's not every day that your estranged daughter turns up on your doorstep and introduces herself.
13:36Yeah, it must have been pretty hard for her having the door shut in her face.
13:40Absolutely.
13:41And as I said before, I was extremely surprised she agreed to see me now, but very grateful.
13:45So what do you think it was that made you do something that was totally out of line?
13:50No, no, no, that's alright.
13:52I was a completely different person back then, a creature of habit.
13:55Used to doing what I wanted, when I wanted.
13:57The thought of having a teenage daughter sent me into a tailspin.
14:02It was cruel.
14:03I'm very sorry.
14:04What opened your eyes?
14:06It took me a while to see the upside, that's all.
14:08And what exactly is the upside?
14:10The opportunity of getting to know this wonderful young woman, if she'll let me.
14:15Sure.
14:15I don't know how much time I have before I go home, but I'd really like that.
14:19What about you, Brett?
14:20How long is this development likely to keep you in the bay?
14:23What are you up to?
14:24No, I shouldn't be here long.
14:26We saw an opportunity to grow our assets here, and I'm just here to put the wheels in motion.
14:30Another resort, eh?
14:32I don't know if there's enough business in the bay for that.
14:34Our studies indicate that Summer Bay will see a four-fold increase in tourist numbers over the next five to
14:40ten years.
14:41We're just getting in there early.
14:43Bit of a gamble, isn't it?
14:45Ordinarily, I'd agree, but that's the beauty of what we've got planned.
14:48It's going to be a small boutique place, kind of like a little sister to the sands.
14:53And where are you planning on parking this little sister?
14:56I'm not at liberty to say at the moment, as we're in the middle of negotiations on a site, but
15:00as soon as the contract is across the line, he'll be the first to know.
15:08I just feel so bad for him.
15:11I'm sure he'll be fine.
15:13It must have been so horrible to be on the other side of that phone call.
15:17Well, Barry's with him.
15:19Yeah, I know.
15:21I mean, first he finds out he's going to be a dad, and then all this stuff with Zoe happens.
15:27He doesn't deserve all that.
15:30No one does.
15:32But you know what? He's lucky he's got friends like you.
15:38Well, me and the baby are lucky that we've got you.
15:50Are you serious? You've been to all of those places?
15:53Absolutely. And I think it should be mandatory that everyone experience Paris in the winter.
15:58Count me in.
15:59You never know.
16:01But right now, I have to go.
16:03Really?
16:03But I'd like to call you. If that's alright, make a time that we can catch up soon.
16:07Yeah, I'd love that.
16:08Excellent.
16:10Well, it's been good seeing you all.
16:15Wow, he's not what I expected.
16:17He's exactly what I expected.
16:19Please, everyone should experience Paris in the winter. What was that?
16:23You can't hate him for having fun in Paris.
16:26He is a bit of a snob, Martha.
16:28No, he's not.
16:29I'll tell you something for nothing. He's a slippery customer.
16:32What are you talking about?
16:33Well, he's up to something as sure as I'm sitting here.
16:36You just can't see it because you haven't got a bad bone in your body.
16:38Your grandfather has a point, Martha.
16:41Did we just meet the same man?
16:42Yes, we did. And he is up to something.
16:45Just can't lay my finger on it yet.
16:50So, I think we can assume from what Kim Hyde told us that Zoe McAllister knew her attacker.
16:55Which is the same feeling that I got when I was locked in the boot of the car.
16:57Yeah, well, I think we'll just leave your gut instincts out of this one.
17:00So, keeping that in mind, if we start at the beginning, what have we got?
17:05Okay, we've got the bushfire and the fire at the palace.
17:08Okay, then we've got the body found in the bush and the plane crash.
17:12Remind me?
17:13The dead girl's things.
17:15Oh, yeah, yeah, the backpack.
17:16Yeah.
17:17The van and the photo of the girl ripped in half.
17:19They tack on Zoe.
17:20Yeah, and the subsequent discovery of the knife at Mark's place,
17:23the attempted bombing at Colleen's murder mystery party,
17:27and then the near miss at the Miss Groper pageant.
17:29Let's not forget the murder of Mark Edwards.
17:31Yeah, and your attempted murder.
17:33Yeah.
17:34I guess I was lucky that he cut my brakes and not me.
17:37Well, that leaves us with...
17:39You in the boot of the car.
17:42So, where are we?
17:44Well, I know what I think, but you're not going to like it.
17:47You're right, I'm not.
17:48Well, it's the only thing that fits.
17:50Nothing fits.
17:51Well, exactly.
17:52That's the whole point.
17:53It's erratic.
17:53That's why it must be Sarah Lewis.
17:55She's getting a revenge for what happened to her.
17:57You just want it to be her because it ties it up in a nice neat bow.
18:00Well, come on.
18:01The only way we're going to know for sure is if we pursue a legitimate suspect.
18:04I do know.
18:05I've spoken to the doctor who performed the autopsy and I've read the report.
18:09Wait a second.
18:09You tell me it's a bad idea then you go ahead and follow it up yourself without telling me?
18:13No, I followed up the theory that whoever did this had links to Sarah Lewis.
18:16I didn't think for a minute that Sarah Lewis herself was a stalker.
18:20Yep.
18:20Just wanted to let you know we've finished the search of the caravan park and the surrounding
18:24area.
18:24We didn't find anything else.
18:25Thanks.
18:26Do you want something else to drink?
18:26It's not easy.
18:32No.
18:32No.
18:32No.
18:33No.
18:33No.
18:34No.
18:34No.
18:48No, no.
18:48I don't like it.
18:50No, no.
18:51No.
18:54No.
18:54No.
18:56I, um, I just wanted a word.
18:59I reckon Martha's right.
19:01I can't eat a fear between you two.
19:03And you know what?
19:05The way you were there for her today,
19:07I don't think I really want her.
19:09Well, thank you very much, mate.
19:11Sorry about that.
19:12Guess I was just being an overprotective granddad.
19:15He said he'd call soon.
19:16How long do you think he meant?
19:18Brett, I mean...
19:19Wouldn't have a clue, love.
19:20Do you guys ever think you might be wrong about him?
19:22Listen, Martha, I reckon she's just been a little bit careful.
19:24You know, I mean, sure, he's said all the right things so far,
19:26but this is still coming from a guy
19:28who didn't want to know you a little while back.
19:29Jesse's right, love.
19:31You don't want to go building yourself up
19:32for a big disappointment.
19:33So what if it's not a big disappointment?
19:35He's here now, and that's all that matters.
19:37Can you answer this if it rings, please, granddad?
19:39I don't want to miss any calls.
19:43Don't worry.
19:44Morey will sort him out.
19:46Well, you've told your story for public consumption.
19:48Now you tell me what you're doing.
19:51You should make an appointment.
19:52I'd hate to be out when you popped in.
19:54Oh, no, I love the element of surprise.
19:57Now you tell me what's going on.
19:58What makes you think there's anything going on?
19:59Oh, you forget how well I know you, Brett.
20:02I suppose you do.
20:04You know I've always liked you, Morey.
20:06Oh, lucky me.
20:07And I know you've always liked me.
20:09That's why you put Ru and me together.
20:11Well, we all make mistakes.
20:14I'm just wondering what mistakes you've made.
20:17Maybe I haven't made any.
20:18Well, then why is the head of a multimillion-dollar company here in Summer Bay
20:22managing a rather obscure little resort?
20:24I'm not here to run a resort or manage a resort.
20:27I'm just here to put it on its feet.
20:28Then I'm passing it over to our new manager,
20:31who coincidentally has just walked in.
20:33Perhaps you'd like to meet her.
20:40Warag, how nice to see you.
20:46She's back, and she's working with the enemy.
20:49But what else is she up to?
20:51And everyone wants to know who is the stalker.
