00:01Dan, there must be something that I can say to pick-
00:04Sorry?
00:05The engagement ring, you can keep it, it's up to you.
00:08Fine. Here, have a ring.
00:14You just gotta find another way of dealing with your problems, mate.
00:16You can't go out and get sloshed every time something goes wrong.
00:19This whole thing has been a huge wake-up call for me.
00:25But I am gonna get myself together now.
00:41Yeah, I know, I know it's all part of the plan, but it doesn't make it any easier.
00:44I mean, the pressure, it's too much.
00:47The sooner you come down here, the sooner it comes to an end.
00:50Alright?
00:54What's going on, Josie?
01:00You ain't coming away.
01:07You're kidding.
01:07It's true. I'm not on Macklin's side in this.
01:10Well, then why all the cloak and dagger stuff? Why not just come out and say something?
01:14It's a long story, Scott, and I can't tell you if you're in safety.
01:17Well, I'm in no hurry. I'm not worried about my safety, thanks.
01:22Do you want a drink?
01:23Not for me.
01:24Do you mind if I do?
01:25I'll get it.
01:30It's no secret that when I left the town, I...
01:32I was feeling bitter.
01:34I thought I hated the place and most of the people in it, except for Tash, of course.
01:39So when Brett contacted me and offered me a lucrative deal to manage the resort, I...
01:45I've jumped at the chance.
01:46Well, you must have known that most of the town would be against it.
01:48Frankly, I enjoyed the possibility of ruffling a few feathers.
01:52It's not nice, maybe, but it's the way I was feeling.
01:55So you were after revenge?
01:57Yeah, at first.
01:59But then I stumbled across something that I wasn't supposed to see.
02:04It seems that the resort was a cover for something that I hadn't signed on for.
02:08Well, we all know about the casino, Josie.
02:10Sure.
02:10But what do you know about dioxins?
02:14Nothing.
02:14Neither did I until a month ago.
02:18They are a class of toxic chemical that is pretty much indestructible.
02:22Dioxins can't be burned, they won't degrade in soil or water,
02:25but they will kill most living things that they come into contact with.
02:29Well, what's all this got to do with the macklets?
02:31Well, everything.
02:32Their subsidiary, Bormack, is planning on digging a hole outside the caravan park site
02:37and dumping thousands of cubic metres of dioxins.
02:40It seems that they were involved in some form of illegal manufacturing.
02:44They've got to get rid of the evidence as quickly as possible.
02:47So what, they were just going to dump this stuff and build a resort on top of it?
02:50But then the toxins would leak into the water table, maybe even the ocean.
02:54Eventually.
02:56It might take a few years, but it will end up killing the bay.
03:00And some of the residents.
03:04Pretty soon I realise that I didn't hate the town or the people as much as I thought I did.
03:10Cheers.
03:14Yep, it was all in the box.
03:15All the makings for another Molotov cocktail.
03:18I just can't believe that he would do that.
03:20I know, but it's all there.
03:22Well, it doesn't make any sense.
03:23Why would he just leave it all lying around like that?
03:25You know how much he's been drinking?
03:27He hasn't been sober in weeks.
03:29He swore to me he didn't do it.
03:31He even asked me to give him an alibi.
03:32How could he do that to me?
03:34The same way you put Josie's life in danger.
03:36Well, have you told her?
03:39She'll just go straight to the police and things are already so bad for Jessie.
03:42I don't like that this has happened to him either.
03:44But I lied for Jessie and he went off the rails anyway.
03:46And then I lost Dan.
03:48I'm sure you guys will work things out.
03:50All I'm saying is that I don't think I did him any favours trying to protect him.
03:54And I think Josie has the right to know.
04:00If it hadn't have been for Stafford McCray, I probably would have blown the whistle too early.
04:04He's involved too.
04:05I asked him for his advice and since he had a personal interest in seeing Brett go down, he came
04:09up with a plan.
04:11Well, I guess if you want someone to dish the dirt, stuff is your man.
04:14I know that there's no love lost between you two, but to give him his due, it was his idea
04:18for me to work from inside the company.
04:20It was the only way that I could monitor the situation and make sure that Brett didn't destroy any evidence.
04:25Well, that's a hell of a dangerous game.
04:27And a socially unpleasant one as well.
04:30Well, the town had no way of knowing you were on side.
04:33That's the way it's got to stay, Scott. You cannot breathe a word of this to anyone.
04:36You promised me that.
04:37Well, you've got it.
04:39So what happens next?
04:41Well, in three weeks, the chemicals are being trucked in.
04:43And once that happens, I can go to the police.
04:47So this is why you didn't want Colleen and I getting involved?
04:50You were trying to protect us.
04:52Yeah.
04:54Lucky for me that people are happy to think the worst, isn't it?
04:58You haven't touched.
04:59Josie.
05:03Is that Brett?
05:04No. No, he'd use his key.
05:07Oh, hey.
05:15Hey, what are you doing here?
05:18What is this? Reinforcements?
05:21Wasting my time, that's what.
05:24Scott, the marina will be built despite your personal circumstances
05:28and harassing me is not going to change that.
05:30Yeah, we'll see.
05:32Are you coming?
05:33No, I just need to speak to Josie about something.
05:36See you later.
05:40Hope this isn't another complaint, Hayley. I'm really busy.
05:43No, it's just, um...
05:46Well, I didn't know who else to come to
05:48and I thought, seeing as though you were the one who got hurt...
05:53I'm sorry, but it's about Josie.
06:00I thought I made myself clear I don't want to see you.
06:03Oh, you made yourself perfectly clear
06:05and then I found out about a Molotov cocktail.
06:08What are you talking about?
06:09I know you threw it.
06:11You watch out, alright?
06:12That kind of accusation is libelous.
06:14Oh, for God's sake, Jessie, you grow up!
06:17Now, they've found that box in the storeroom,
06:18so don't you dare lie there!
06:20Do you know how badly hurt I could have been?
06:22Or worse, and what about Kim?
06:25You finished?
06:27You really hate me that much.
06:40I'll organise some advertising
06:42and we can sit down and work out a rough menu.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Yeah, we might even spruce it up a bit with some of Hayley's artwork, eh?
06:49Yeah, sure.
06:51Oh, let me give you a hand with that.
06:53No, I'm fine.
06:53Hang on, they look happy.
06:54Come sleep, please, just leave it.
06:56Oh, I know.
06:59Hey.
07:00I was looking for you.
07:02Did you see him?
07:03Yeah, he didn't deny making or throwing it.
07:06I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you.
07:08He's not sorry, Hayley, he has no intention of apologising.
07:12So, are you gonna go to the police?
07:23I thought you were the cops.
07:26Yeah, well, you're lucky I'm not...
07:31I didn't mean to drag the business into it.
07:35I'll make sure I tell the police that it's all down to me.
07:38Could you please get me some water?
07:42Josie's not going to the police.
07:45And why not?
07:45What does she want?
07:49Listen to yourself, she doesn't want anything.
07:55Can't you see that everyone's just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here,
07:58and all you're doing is kicking everyone in the guts?
08:00They don't care about me, Hayley.
08:02They just all think I'm a loser.
08:05Well, can you blame them?
08:08I thought you were someone that I could count on, Jess.
08:13And now you're hurting all these people you used to care about.
08:18And you let me down at the bar, and you ruined Leah's relationship,
08:22and you almost killed Josie and Kim.
08:26Okay, and caller's crazy, but we're still trying to help you.
08:29So stop feeling sorry for yourself and bring back the Jessie I know.
08:38All right, well, I'm obviously wasting my time here.
08:43Just wait, Hayley.
08:47I know that I let you down.
08:49Okay, but I never meant to hurt you.
08:55So...
08:56Why then? Why did you do all this?
09:00I know that I said to you that it wasn't about Josie.
09:06And I know that I said that I was over her, but...
09:12I was...
09:15I loved her.
09:18So, so much.
09:20Oh, Jess.
09:24It's okay.
09:25It's okay.
09:36Everyone kept saying it.
09:37You know, they kept bringing it back to Josie.
09:41And the more they said it, the angrier I got,
09:43and the more I wanted to hurt her.
09:46Or myself, or...
09:48I don't know.
09:51Both, I think.
09:54Just had this huge dream in my mind, you know?
09:58She was so something special.
10:01You know, the type of person that I never thought would want to actually be with me.
10:08But she did, and...
10:11I don't know, I just got it wrapped up in this fantasy of our perfect life together.
10:17And she broke your heart.
10:21Yeah.
10:23And she turned up with Macklin, and that was like a big kick in the guts.
10:28You should talk to Josie.
10:31If you still have feelings for her, then maybe you can work something out.
10:34I can't go there.
10:37She wouldn't want me to.
10:39I just think it's best left alone.
10:44I know I really let you down, Hayley, and I promise that I'll do whatever it takes to make it
10:48up to you again.
10:52Do you think Leah will ever forgive me?
10:56She lost Dan.
10:58I don't know if you can expect her to get over there.
11:03Right.
11:04Should only be copies now until dinner time.
11:07God save us, darling.
11:09It's a bit early for spring cleaning, isn't it?
11:11Yeah, well, nothing's in the right place.
11:13Everything's out of order, and I just can't think straight.
11:15I mean, how are you meant to work in a kitchen where nothing makes sense?
11:18Fair enough.
11:20I tell you what, while you're making sense of stuff, maybe you could get your head around a new menu,
11:24eh?
11:24I just added a couple of dishes a month ago.
11:27Yeah, I know, darling, but I was thinking more along the lines of a cheap three-course meal menu.
11:31You know, maybe for group bookings, that kind of thing.
11:35Leah, love, if we're going to keep bums on seats and keep them away from the surf club, you've got
11:40to help me out.
11:40But I have better things to do with my time than dealing with some petty rivalry between two grown-up
11:45women who should know better.
12:00Leah!
12:01Good news!
12:02Josie isn't going to have Jessie charged, and Jessie finally admitted everything.
12:09I've ruined everything.
12:11I've hurt Dan so badly, and he's never going to forgive me.
12:15No, you don't know that.
12:16No, I do. I've ruined everything, and now it's too late.
12:25I don't know who I feel more sorry for, Jessie or Leah.
12:29Well, Jessie's brought it all on himself. I wouldn't waste too much time feeling sorry for him.
12:34Anyway, it looks like my little chat with Dan didn't go according to plan either. I was hoping I might
12:39be able to turn him around.
12:40Yeah, it's going to be a while so we can trust Leah again.
12:42Well, at least I can tell Irene not to take it personally.
12:45She was trying to discuss business, and Leah snapped at her and ran out.
12:49Irene's still waging World War Three over our evil plan to serve snacks.
12:54Well...
12:54Why is she being so difficult? I mean, do you think she just calmed down and sings?
12:59Sorry.
13:00You know who's to blame for all this Jessie and Leah business, don't you?
13:05And Flamin' Josie Russell.
13:07If she hadn't blown back into town like a nil wind, we'd all be better off.
13:11Yeah, well, she's got as much right to live here as any of us.
13:14You were furious with her this afternoon.
13:16Yeah, well, I've had a couple of beers, and I'm starting to realise that I'm sick of all the bad
13:20feeling between people.
13:21Well, we all just need to move on.
13:22Well, if that's what beer does for you, I'd better order a truckload.
13:26Perhaps Scott's right.
13:28Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just move on?
13:39Well, Britt, I wasn't expecting you.
13:42Change of plans.
13:44Ah, that looks good.
13:47Well, I only cooked for one, but you haven't?
13:51I'll make some more later.
13:52You're a sweetheart.
13:53I've been on the go the whole day, haven't had time to eat.
13:58Bad day?
13:59Just full on.
14:00We're bringing everything forward a few weeks.
14:03Bringing it forward?
14:04Yeah.
14:05The landfill's arriving tomorrow.
14:08The foundation should be dry by the end of the week.
14:09The landfill's coming tomorrow?
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:12Yeah.
14:13You got a problem with that?
14:14I've just, I've run out of time.
14:16There's still so much to do.
14:18Don't worry your pretty little head about the building side.
14:20You just focus on selling the end result.
14:23Oh, this is so good I could eat it again.
14:27I might go for my usual walk before bedtime.
14:30If you don't mind.
14:32But I do like...
14:34Hey, I've been missing you, baby.
14:38Yeah, me too.
14:49Morning!
14:50Morning.
14:51Did you do this?
14:53Ah, that?
14:54Oh yeah, love.
14:55Look, you were right.
14:56It was all over the shop.
14:57I just tidied it up a bit.
14:58Irene, I'm really sorry that I snapped yesterday.
15:00Hey, hey, hey.
15:01Hey, there's no need to apologise, alright?
15:04I'm always being pushy, love.
15:06And it's the last thing you need right now.
15:07Oh, thank you.
15:09Hello.
15:10Um, I'm sorry, we're not open yet.
15:13I was hoping to catch you before you opened.
15:16If you've got a few minutes...
15:17Ah, well, um, I've got a few things to do first,
15:20if you don't mind waiting.
15:21I'm happy to.
15:25Well, this should be good.
15:27Well, I'm sure if you just want to sort things out.
15:29Hmm, snoop around more like it.
15:34Huge day today.
15:35I don't want any interruptions.
15:37Everything's got to run smoothly.
15:39Don't worry, I'll make sure it does.
15:41Good.
15:43Keep that kid out of the office for a start.
15:45In fact, give him the day off.
15:46Mm-hmm.
15:47I'll call him now and I'll turn.
16:01Yes, Stefan, it's me.
16:03Brett's bringing it forward.
16:04He's bringing in the chemicals today.
16:07I don't know.
16:08I don't know anything about it.
16:10Yeah, we've got to work now.
16:16Uh...
16:16Yeah, what time?
16:19Okay, I'll see you there.
16:26Hey, Josh.
16:28Hey.
16:29Is everything all right?
16:30You know what I told you about before?
16:31It's happening today.
16:32I thought that was three weeks away.
16:33No, Brett changes mine.
16:34I don't know why, but it's...
16:35It's thrown everything out.
16:37Is there anything I can do?
16:38No, look, it's okay.
16:39I'm meeting Stafford now.
16:40He'll know what to do.
16:41But thank you for not thinking I'm an evil cow.
16:46Well...
16:47And before I knew it, things just got out of hand.
16:51I never meant it to end up like this.
16:54Mm-hmm.
16:54You won't get any argument from me, as Barry puts it.
16:58Arguing is a complete waste of energy.
17:02But I was willing to bury the hatchet.
17:04I know.
17:05And I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to talk to you.
17:10Well, what was stopping you?
17:15Hurt, initially.
17:18I mean, after everything I went through with Jack and Rhys,
17:22even the thought of being seen as the other woman, I...
17:25Liz, I didn't see you as the other woman.
17:27I tried explaining that to you.
17:29I know that, I know.
17:30Well, then why have you been refusing to let this go?
17:36Come on, love.
17:37Look, what's going on here?
17:39Come on.
17:41Things happen with the kids.
17:44And at work, I just want to tell someone.
17:48I just simply want to spend the day with someone.
17:52But since Rhys left, I...
17:56That's why my friends are so important to me.
18:00Barry, and you especially.
18:03And when I thought that was in jeopardy, I...
18:08I just thought it was easier to be defensive
18:11or to blame you for saying something.
18:14I...
18:15I didn't want to admit the truth to myself
18:18or make myself see the reality.
18:24I just get so incredibly lonely.
18:30I just get so incredibly lonely.
18:46Thank God you're here. I was really beginning to get...
18:53What's happening?
18:55Yeah, good question.
18:59Brett, I can explain.
19:00Don't bother.
19:01I mean, I should have realised that you'd be playing games.
19:04You wouldn't know how to lie straight in bed.
19:07Where's Stafford? What have you done to him?
19:08Don't worry about Stafford, okay?
19:11You've got bigger problems to think about.
19:15I haven't finished yet.
19:25I've got proof.
19:27Documents. Even if you try to get rid of me, you'll still be exposed.
19:29Then I'll find the documents and I'll destroy them.
19:32There is no way that Morag is going to let this drop.
19:34Don't worry, I can take care of Morag.
19:36It was you, wasn't it?
19:38I tried to kill her.
19:39Was it all a lie, Josie?
19:42Even what we had together?
19:44Still, no surprises, given your background and everything.
19:47I don't understand.
19:49How did Stacey let you get away with this?
19:51Simple.
19:52She doesn't work for the company anymore.
19:55That's right, I lied.
19:57And you thought you had it all figured out, didn't you?
20:01Brett, you don't have to do this.
20:03We will make a deal.
20:05I'll sell you the documents.
20:07I'll go away, you'll never see me again.
20:09I'll take that risk.
20:10One whisper of this and the company shares wouldn't be worth the paper they're written by.
20:14Brett, please!
20:15I'll do anything that you want.
20:16I'll give you everything that I have, please!
20:18Everything you have is enough.
20:24What's going on?
20:25They accused her of trying to destroy the base.
20:27Is she okay?
20:30Is it too late to say they're sorry?
20:32Plus...
20:33What are you doing here?
20:34Someone from his past...
20:35What do you want?
20:36...is about to stir things up.
