00:09Zoe!
00:10Look, there was nothing to say that the stalker even knew about Zoe
00:12in the hypnosis suggestion.
00:13The whole town knew.
00:14You may as well have painted a target on the floor.
00:16You'd love to prove that, wouldn't you?
00:17Just show me up on my own case.
00:19Actually, Peter, it's my case now.
00:31You know we belong together
00:34You and I forever and ever
00:38No matter where you are
00:42You're my guiding star
00:48Hold me in your arms
00:51Don't let me go
00:53I want to stay forever
00:57Closer each day
01:00Home and away
01:03Our search team had been over the property.
01:05If there's anything to find, they would have found it.
01:07What about the stuff you found in Zoe's van?
01:08Well, forensics are still running tests.
01:10The TikTok, the calling card, I mean, the connection to Sarah.
01:12We're looking into all the possibilities.
01:14I'm afraid you're going to have to keep the park closed
01:16to make sure no one goes near Zoe McCallister's van.
01:18Okay, of course.
01:19What about us? I mean, are we safe to stay here?
01:21Well, it's very unlikely that our guy will come back.
01:23He got what he wanted.
01:24What are the chances you're going to find her alive?
01:26Well, we don't know that yet, mate.
01:28Sally.
01:29Do you want us to stay next time?
01:30I'll do it.
01:31Hey, what's going on?
01:32Yeah, we saw some cops walking around.
01:34Hey, guys.
01:34Look, we'll leave you to it, mate.
01:36Okay?
01:37Bye.
01:37See you.
01:38See you.
01:41Ben, what's happening?
01:43I don't believe this.
01:46What?
01:47That I'm capable of managing a resort?
01:50That you'd want to manage anything in Summer Bay.
01:52As I recall, you called it a hick backwater and couldn't wait to leave.
01:57That was before I had a really good reason to stay.
01:59And tell me, how did you two meet?
02:02Ah, no, let me guess.
02:04Sorry, Brett.
02:05I did warn you there would be questions.
02:08We met a long time ago.
02:10Oh, I'll just bet you did.
02:12Through mutual friends.
02:14And this timely job offer.
02:17When I heard Josie had been actually living here in the Bay, it was an opportunity too good to pass
02:21up.
02:22I've got to say that the thought of coming back here didn't thrill me.
02:26But two dinners and an offer she couldn't refuse later and here we are.
02:32And in this office.
02:34Of course, you did know that I'd applied for the lease.
02:38Yeah.
02:38That was a little sweetener.
02:42I hope you know who she really is.
02:44I've heard all about her troubles during her time here in Summer Bay.
02:47And I know how small-minded small towns can be.
02:52Well, what you call small-minded, other people might term as calling a spade a spade.
02:57Not that it matters either way.
03:00I'm here now.
03:03And I'm not planning on going anywhere.
03:08Why didn't you call me at school?
03:10Well, I just felt I could have waited until you...
03:11You should have told me about this as soon as it happened.
03:13There's something you could have done.
03:14That is not the point.
03:16Don't you see?
03:17I was right.
03:18There was somebody in here and they did pull that ladder from out underneath me.
03:22You know, the stalker was right here and now we're in the hospital and we have let them go.
03:27Listen.
03:27Somebody was out to hurt me, Flynn.
03:30And now Zoe could be dead.
03:33Just...
03:36I can't believe it.
03:38Poor Kim having this on top of finding out about the baby.
03:42Yeah.
03:43He's gonna need all the support we can muster, that's for sure.
03:49But not right now, love.
03:51I think right now he needs some time and space to himself, okay?
03:56I guess.
03:57I wish there was something I could do for him.
04:01I'll get it.
04:01Thanks, darling.
04:09Josie!
04:09Hey, sweetheart.
04:11Do I get a hug?
04:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:15Hello, Oren.
04:17Josie.
04:18Hey, you never said you were coming to visit.
04:20Well, that's because I'm not visiting.
04:22What do you mean?
04:23How would you feel if I said that I was moving back to the bay?
04:27Really?
04:27I even managed to get my old apartment back.
04:29That's good.
04:30That's awesome.
04:31I thought you said you were shot at this joint for good.
04:34A new opportunity came my way and it was too good to pass up.
04:38What the hell does she know about managing a resort?
04:41Huh, that doesn't seem to matter.
04:43She and Mr. Macklin are old friends, apparently.
04:46Maybe my father didn't know what she was really like.
04:49Not the impression I got.
04:51I know you want to think the best of him, love, but you don't really know him.
04:55Why did you really want to come back here?
04:58Excuse me, Dick.
05:03You kids been home yet?
05:05Yeah, we know about Zoe.
05:07How are you, love?
05:08I'm really sorry to hear about your nan.
05:10Thanks, Mr. Stewart.
05:11Everyone's been really great.
05:13I heard you're staying at Sally and Flint's.
05:15Yeah, for a while anyway.
05:17Yeah, we'll get the funeral stuff sorted out for next week and then just saw what you want
05:20to do, yeah?
05:22Yeah.
05:23I mean, how's Selk over, you know, with all this mess with Zoe?
05:32Oh, was she?
05:33Yeah, she's good like that.
05:34Listen, we'll be able to pick her up pretty soon, Madge.
05:37Yeah, thanks.
05:38Bye.
05:42Listen, look, I'm sorry.
05:44I just don't know what to say, okay?
05:45I was convinced I couldn't get my head around it.
05:46Mike was the stalker.
05:47Yeah, I know.
05:49I'm just thinking about that day and how I wasn't meant to be here, Zoe was.
05:55Yeah, well, it fits.
05:56The stalker was after her.
05:57That was weeks ago.
05:58Why would he wait until now to attack her again?
06:02Because Peter was going to hypnotise her today to see if she'd get any more details about
06:05the first attack.
06:07What, so you think the stalker found out in panic?
06:09Well, that's what the police are thinking.
06:12Come on, I told Madge we'd pick Pippa up.
06:15Peter really thought that hypnosis would trigger Zoe's memory.
06:19Yeah, well, he seemed to.
06:21Well, we'd better let Madge know that we're going to be a bit later.
06:24What do you mean?
06:25I want them to hypnotise me.
06:27Absolutely no way.
06:29But I'm the only other person that might have seen him.
06:31No.
06:32If the stalker did attack Zoe McAllister because he thought she was going to get hypnotised,
06:37then you could be at risk too.
06:38If we keep it quiet, how will he know?
06:40There are still too many risks.
06:42Sally, under hypnosis, people can often be led by the power of suggestion, okay?
06:47Which means that they often turn the theories that they might have heard into a reality.
06:51And they become these false memories of which a patient often carries with them even after
06:55the session ends.
06:56And they can be very distressing for you.
06:58I understand all that.
06:59But I haven't heard any theories apart from the one about Mark.
07:02So anything I tell you should help, right?
07:05Our main concern is still your safety.
07:08Yeah, but I'm not safe now.
07:11None of us are.
07:12This animal came into my home and attacked me while my daughter was sleeping upstairs.
07:17And he planted a bomb that could have killed my husband and all of my friends.
07:20And now Zoe, we don't even know if she's still alive.
07:23If there's a chance that I can help, no matter how small it is, then I want to take it.
07:29Please.
07:31This could be our one and only chance to catch this madman before he hurts somebody else.
07:44Yeah, we all thought the stalker had been caught, but he was out there the whole time.
07:48Well, at least the police should be making more of an effort to find him now.
07:51Doesn't put you off wanting to stay.
07:53If there's one thing that I've worked out in life, it's you can't let the bad things keep you away
07:57from the good.
07:58And there is so much good right here.
08:02You know, I've really missed you.
08:03Oh, so low, sweetheart.
08:05It's weird, isn't it?
08:06It turns out you were meant to leave.
08:07Neither was I.
08:08Yeah, well, I just hope other people see it that way.
08:12That's about I make us a fresh pot, eh?
08:14And you can tell us all about this new job of yours.
08:16Yeah, it's really weird that you're going to be working with Brett Macklin because I've become really good friends with
08:20his daughter.
08:21That's great.
08:21But listen, I've got to go back to the office.
08:24Why don't you come around later?
08:26I'll give you a tour.
08:27Oh, really?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Oh, and I've got the documents for the sale of the caravan park.
08:32Okay, thank you.
08:33And don't you worry about Zoe.
08:34They're going to be doing everything they can to find off.
08:38You were chopping vegetables and the light went out.
08:43What did you do next?
08:46I went outside to get the ladder and I found a new globe.
08:53And the other lights in the house were still on?
08:57Yeah.
09:00What happened next?
09:06I climbed up the ladder and...
09:11I took out the old globe and then...
09:18Flair?
09:21Flair, is that you?
09:31It's okay.
09:32You're perfectly safe, Sally.
09:36You're on the floor now.
09:39And your eyes are open.
09:43What do you see?
09:49Legs.
09:50There's someone there.
09:52Do you notice anything about the legs?
09:57My eyes are all blurry.
10:02Are you able to tell if it's a man or a woman?
10:12The smell.
10:14There's a smell.
10:18Do you know what it is?
10:27I...
10:28I don't...
10:30I don't know.
10:32I can't remember.
10:35Okay, Sally.
10:36Now I'm going to ask you to relax.
10:40How can happy I be from 5 till 6.30pm?
10:46What are you doing here?
10:49And there I was, hoping to surprise you.
10:51No, I want the real reason.
10:52Because I know you are not here because of a job.
10:55Okay, so the conspiracy theories have already begun.
10:57We all heard exactly what you said of Miss Grumpy Badger.
10:59And you couldn't get out of here fast enough.
11:01Yeah, what lies did you tell my father to get the job?
11:04I'm here to make a new start.
11:05I'm going to put the past behind me.
11:06If you can't do that, it's not my problem.
11:10And how exactly did you get a job, Joss?
11:13Not exactly what you qualified to run of this award.
11:16What I do and how I do it shouldn't be of any of interest to you.
11:24Unless you're bored with what you've got.
11:29He pleaded guilty.
11:30Yeah, I don't believe it.
11:31I won't have to go to court.
11:33And how was your auntie about this?
11:34Oh, so incredible.
11:36I thought she'd hate me for not saying something sooner,
11:38but she was fantastic, so...
11:40Well, it's over now. That's what matters.
11:42Yeah, and I know he's going to go to jail,
11:45but why doesn't it feel very good?
11:50Well, probably for the same reason what happened to my dad didn't.
11:53You know, they get what's coming to them,
11:54but they're still your family.
11:57Well, I guess you guys are my family now.
12:01Hey.
12:03Is there any news on Zoe?
12:05No, I've heard not.
12:06What's happening here?
12:07Well, we have some good news.
12:09Ben pleaded guilty.
12:11Oh, that must be a huge relief.
12:13Yes, it is, and you guys have been awesome.
12:15I don't know what I would have done without your support.
12:17Listen, we're just so happy we can help you.
12:19Yeah.
12:21Well, I'll put it to bed if you want.
12:23Yeah, that'll be great.
12:25Yeah.
12:31You gave it your best shot.
12:33Yeah.
12:34It didn't help Zoe, though, did it?
12:40Josie Russell, what are you doing giving her a job?
12:42Everybody knows she's bad news.
12:44Including your boyfriend, I presume.
12:46Oh, it's not just him.
12:48She lies to everyone.
12:49You can't trust her.
12:50You can do whatever I please.
12:51All I'm saying is that you...
12:52If I was interested in what you had to say, I would have asked.
12:56Why are you being like this?
12:58Why am I being like this?
12:59I'm not the one that's just barged into somebody's office
13:01dictating how they should run their company.
13:04A multi-million dollar company, I might add,
13:06that's been run very successfully up until now without your input.
13:10Don't speak to me like that, Dad.
13:12I thought we were supposed to be starting again.
13:14Look, I am interested in a relationship with a mature young woman,
13:18not a petulant little child raised by hillbillies.
13:23Sorry.
13:24I didn't realize you were having quality time.
13:28I'll be in the room when you're finished here.
13:40Makes my skin crawl.
13:42You sure they're on together?
13:43Well, why else would she give him her hotel key?
13:46Well, I think we can simply say we know how she got her job.
13:49Sounds like she's got him wound around a little finger.
13:52And that's not all.
13:53But the question now is,
13:55why would she take the job if it meant coming back here?
13:58It's obvious.
13:58She wants to get back at me.
14:00Not necessarily.
14:02Martha, did you get any more insight
14:03as to what the development is all about?
14:05No, I only know what we found out this morning.
14:07Well, what difference would it make?
14:09Well, because there's a lot of work involved in a project like this.
14:12It's not something one would normally do to get revenge.
14:14Well, it depends on what they're developing, really, isn't it?
14:17Yes, and that is exactly what we're going to find out.
14:20And this time we're not leaving without an answer.
14:23We?
14:24You can't ignore a united front.
14:27Anyone feel like a walk?
14:30Now, if you just sign
14:33we're off at the crosses,
14:35the Caravan Park will be off your hands.
14:37Okay.
14:39And we are going to help you invest that money wisely, young lady.
14:42This sort of nest egg could really set you up
14:44if it's handled the right way.
14:45Yeah, I guess.
14:46Who actually bought it?
14:48A company called Coin Co.
14:51I hope they're okay about buying it
14:52after everything that's been going on there lately.
14:54That is nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart.
14:56I guess the drinks will be on you tonight, eh?
14:58Yeah.
15:01Is there a problem?
15:02I reckon you might have to tell us that, mate.
15:04Well, I'm just in the middle of a business meeting right now,
15:07so it's going to have to wait.
15:08This can't wait.
15:09We want to know what you're planning,
15:10where you're putting it,
15:11and we want to know right now.
15:12We are not obliged to tell you anything.
15:15Yeah, so you're going to have to wait
15:16for the council's submission like everybody else.
15:18Stasia, what are you doing here?
15:21I'm signing the contracts for the Caravan Park.
15:23Oh, and who have you sold it to?
15:25That is none of your business.
15:26Who?
15:27Uh, a company, Kleinco.
15:30Ah.
15:31Now, do I have to do a search,
15:33or can you confirm that Kleinco is a subsidiary
15:36to the Macklin Corporation?
15:38Is that a problem?
15:39Well, it is if you develop the site
15:40into, say, a boutique resort.
15:43You wouldn't want to be doing anything like that, though, would you?
15:46Do you actually think this town is going to sit still?
15:48Frankly, I don't care what this town does.
15:51This development will be going ahead on the Caravan Park site,
15:54and there's nothing you can do about it.
15:57Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that.
15:59You knew that I did not want that land developed.
16:02When the offer came through, I had no idea who it was from.
16:05Right, but you do now.
16:06Tasha, sweetheart, this resort is going to be wonderful for the bay.
16:09I didn't want to listen, but Grandad was so right about you.
16:12Don't bother calling.
16:22The forensic cell working on Zoe McAllister's stuff
16:24and the Caravan Park is secure.
16:27You okay?
16:28Yeah.
16:31You know, um, I really don't enjoy giving you a hard time.
16:35I just want us to find Zoe McAllister.
16:37Yeah, me too.
16:48I don't believe it.
17:03Are you sure that'll be okay?
17:05Yeah, no, of course.
17:06We'll get in there.
17:06We'll get as much stuff as we can.
17:09You guys off to Joyce?
17:10No, no, we'll do that in a couple of days.
17:12I'm just going to go down to the diner, give us some dinner
17:13so we don't have to cook.
17:15Okay.
17:15So, me and Cass are on baby duty.
17:17Yeah, so you can put your feet up.
17:18What have I done to deserve this royal treatment?
17:22You, just you.
17:24I'll see you soon.
17:25Okay.
18:08I'll see you soon.
18:20Oh, my God.
18:47Oh, my God.
19:24Oh, my God.
19:38Oh, my God.
19:42Tash, can I speak to you?
19:44I've got nothing to say to you.
19:45Please.
19:46Josie, I trusted you with the sale and you completely betrayed me.
19:49Tash, come on.
19:50Oh, I think she's made herself perfect.
19:51You care?
19:52The kitchen's closed.
19:54Well, when are you ready?
19:57Why don't you try not breathing?
19:59Do us all a favor.
20:01Let's hope to get home and let Sally know about this.
20:03Yeah.
20:04Talk about a bolt from the blue.
20:06You've had nothing but drama ever since you got here.
20:08I bet you can't wait to go home.
20:09No, I'm not going anywhere.
20:11I love you guys too much.
20:12If there's going to be a fight, then I'm going to stay and we're going to win it.
20:15Yeah.
20:16Let's go.
20:18Let's go.
20:49Let's go.
