00:01What is this idiot doing?
00:04What the?
00:10Martha?
00:11She's hardly breathing.
00:12We've got to get her out of there before she stops breathing altogether.
00:15If we move her, we might make her worse.
00:16We don't have a choice.
00:18What if we take her out?
00:18Mate, if she stays where she is, she could die anyway.
00:21What's wrong with me?
00:23You hurt your spine in the accident.
00:26I can't be moving.
00:29I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.
00:31Mr. Stewart, it was an embolism.
00:33Fat broke away from her fractured arm.
00:35It travelled in her bloodstream and blocked the blood flow to her lung.
00:39There's nothing that could have been done to prevent this.
00:41Not by you or by them.
00:43What am I going to tell that little girl?
00:47What am I going to tell her?
00:53You know we belong together.
00:57You and I forever and ever.
01:01No matter where you are.
01:05You're my guiding star.
01:10Hold me in your arms.
01:13Don't let me go.
01:15I want to stay forever.
01:18Closer each day.
01:20Closer each day.
01:22Closer each day.
01:22Home and away.
01:27Here we are.
01:29Vegemite on toast.
01:30Just like you wanted.
01:33Thanks.
01:34Ah, now, you eat it all up like a good girl.
01:41When's my mum going to be here?
01:43Are you looking after me all day?
01:45Or is mummy going to be home soon?
01:48Oh, Pitt, hi.
01:49Hi, Renny.
01:51And I love you.
01:54Is mum with you?
01:57No, no, no, I love.
01:58No, she's not.
02:05Libby, um, you come and sit with me for a minute, sweetheart.
02:13I need a cuddle.
02:21You look sad.
02:25There's something I need to tell you.
02:27Hmm?
02:29It's about your mum.
02:38Sorry, guys, we didn't mean to interrupt.
02:40Yeah, we just wanted to see how you're feeling.
02:44I'm not feeling.
02:46I'm not feeling.
02:48I'm not below the neck, anyway.
02:52Sorry, I didn't...
02:53It's okay, you don't have to apologise.
02:56Have you spoken to your family?
02:58Are your adopted dad and brothers?
03:00A little while ago.
03:03Just about the accident, though, not about...
03:06I didn't think there's any point.
03:08Not until we know what's going on.
03:10Which will be when?
03:12Once the swelling goes down.
03:13Until then, we don't really know how bad the injury is.
03:17How's your leg, Kim?
03:19Yeah, I'm alright.
03:21I've got a flight there, considering.
03:23I know, I still can't believe that about Chloe.
03:26Yeah, I can't stop thinking about little Olivia.
03:29I'm losing her parents hard enough, but she's only eight.
03:32It just doesn't make any sense to me, you know.
03:34And Chloe was right there.
03:35She was okay, she was helping out.
03:39Excuse me.
03:52So, do you remember any of it happening?
03:55Not really, just the screeching of brakes, us swerving.
03:58But after that...
04:00If all I can remember is us laughing and...
04:05Then nothing.
04:08I remember.
04:10Wish I could find the year that I was driving the other car.
04:13Hey, it was an accident.
04:14I'm sure whoever did already hacked themselves.
04:16An accident?
04:18The headlights were aiming at us.
04:20What?
04:21The other car was heading straight for us.
04:24Mate, I just can't believe that anyone would want to do that on purpose.
04:27I mean, who? Why?
04:28I know.
04:30But I'm telling you, someone deliberately ran us off the road and just left us there to die.
04:37My God.
04:38It's a miracle anyone got out alive.
04:39Do we know what happened?
04:41Well, according to reports from two of the passengers, the other vehicle was heading straight for them.
04:44What?
04:45Yeah, Alf Stewart reckons that the other car even seemed to accelerate.
04:48They would run off the road deliberately.
04:49Looks like it.
04:52The tire marks are from Chloe Richards' vehicle and they indicate that she slammed on the brakes hard and at
04:56speed,
04:56but there are no tire marks from the other vehicle at all.
04:59Which there would have been had the other car tried to brake too.
05:01Yeah, so we're looking for a hit-and-run driver.
05:03God, who the hell would want to do that?
05:09How is she?
05:10Asleep.
05:12Picked herself out crying.
05:14Poor little Mike.
05:15She just kept saying over and over again,
05:18I want my mum here.
05:19I want my mum here.
05:20Oh, it's awful.
05:21It's an absolute tragedy.
05:25I'll go.
05:30Right.
05:39I'm just in.
05:39I'll go.
05:40Oh.
05:41Oh.
05:42You know?
05:44OK.
05:45Well, I'm here, alright, if you need me to do anything or if you need me to call anyone.
05:51Oh, sweetheart, I don't know where to start.
05:55Chloe hasn't spoken to my mother in years.
05:56I wouldn't know where to begin, but I'd start looking for her.
05:59Well, what about James and Diana?
06:01No. No, love this.
06:04Sorry, it's OK. I'll call her myself.
06:07But look, if there's anything I think of, I'll be sure to let you know.
06:11Have you come from the hospital?
06:12Yeah.
06:14How are the others?
06:15Oh, well, they're OK, considering.
06:17I don't know. I just think they're finding a bit hard to get their head around.
06:22What Chloe said about the other vehicle running them off the road?
06:27Rick remembers it vividly.
06:30According to him and Mr Stewart, this wasn't an accident.
06:41Detective?
06:42Oh, Constable, thanks.
06:43G'day, mate. Thank you for coming back out here so soon. I really appreciate it.
06:46No worries.
06:49Let's take a walk, eh?
06:51Yeah.
06:52Mate, I know this can't be easy for you, but I just need to ask you a couple of questions
06:55about the car that ran you off the road.
06:56What about it?
06:57Well, I was hoping you may have been able to give me more of a detailed description of what you
07:00saw.
07:01Just headlights coming straight at us.
07:03So you don't remember seeing maybe the colour of the other vehicle?
07:06No, like I said, I didn't see anything at all.
07:11Um, something you're not telling us, Detective?
07:13Well, the forensic team have found some maroon paint on Chloe's vehicle near the point of impact from the other
07:18vehicle.
07:18Well, there's some sort of test you can do on the paint. I mean, to determine what sort of vehicle
07:22it was.
07:23Well, yes, but that's assuming that the scraping of paint is fresh, and that's why I was hoping that Alf
07:26may have been able to remember seeing the colour.
07:28Oh, no.
07:29Alfred?
07:31Alfred?
07:33Duncan.
07:34Sorry?
07:39Duncan was driving a maroon car.
07:49Excuse me.
07:53What on earth is the matter with you?
07:55Oh, come off it, Morag.
07:56You know as well as I do what that boy's capable of.
08:00Was capable of?
08:01I mean, do you honestly think he's behind this, something so deliberate?
08:04I wouldn't put anything past him.
08:07Well, the one I think has a motive is that Troy Peters.
08:10I mean, especially after the way he spoke to Chloe last night.
08:12Oh, you've got to be joking, Morag.
08:14You know that it was quite possible that Duncan was driving that car.
08:18You are being completely irrational.
08:20Oh, am I?
08:20You were at the party, you heard him.
08:22You saw the way he stormed out.
08:24He was angry.
08:24Angry enough to deliberately drive a car off the road?
08:28Duncan was driving a red car.
08:30It was a red car that clipped us, and he was upset.
08:32And he is your son, so I suggest you start giving him the benefit of the doubt before you accuse
08:37him of manslaughter.
08:37When are you going to stop defending him, Morag?
08:39You've done it all his flaming life, and look where we are now, eh?
08:42I've tried to talk to the boy.
08:43I've tried to get him on the straight and narrow.
08:45It's been a complete waste of flame and breath.
08:48Are you listening to what you're saying?
08:50Do you think I enjoy admitting that I've got a son that's a bad egg?
08:53Of course I flame and don't.
08:56But over the years, I've learned that that's the truth of the matter.
08:59And it's about time you learned that too.
09:03I'm walking.
09:05Good.
09:09All right, we'll come back and see you later, okay?
09:11Yeah, see you soon.
09:12Back soon.
09:14See ya.
09:18Are you sure you don't want me to go too?
09:20Leave you to get some rest?
09:28What is it?
09:33Is it the wheelchair?
09:35The rest of my life.
09:38Please.
09:39I've had so many dreams.
09:42We don't know anything about it yet.
09:44That might not be something you even have to worry about.
09:47I can't feel anything.
09:52I know, but you just gotta listen to what the doctor said.
09:56You don't give it time.
09:56Once the swelling goes down, you're probably to be able to...
09:58What if time isn't enough?
10:00What if...
10:06I'm sorry.
10:08It's just Grandad and I, we didn't have a choice.
10:10We had to move you.
10:12You moved me?
10:17Put your weight on me.
10:19Ooh.
10:19Ooh, wait.
10:22You got lost that way.
10:23Ooh!
10:25Sorry.
10:31We make a good pair, you and me.
10:33A couple of weeks ago, you were bailed up in this place.
10:35Now it's my team.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Well, let's not make a habit of it.
10:39Deal.
10:42You should go home and get some rest.
10:44No, I'm fine.
10:46Really.
10:48Besides, I don't think home's somewhere I exactly want to be right now.
10:54She's still sound asleep.
10:56Poor little pet so innocent.
10:59Oh, wonder what's going to happen to her now.
11:01Well, I guess Diana's really the only family that she's got left.
11:05She'll probably have to go and live with her.
11:06Over my dead body, there is no way on God's earth Diana is getting her mitts on that little
11:13girl.
11:14What are you talking about?
11:16She's a witch, Barry.
11:18That's what I'm talking about.
11:20For years, she made Chloe's life a living nightmare, and I'll be damned if the same thing is going
11:24to happen to Olivia.
11:26But surely the best place for Olivia...
11:27I mean it.
11:28Chloe would never have wanted that woman anywhere near Olivia.
11:32Olivia, and I'm going to flippin' more make sure it doesn't happen.
11:36But where will she go?
11:37Well, she's not going anywhere.
11:39She's staying right here with me.
11:47So they found the other driver?
11:49No, not yet.
11:51What, do they at least have some clues?
11:52They can't just get away with us.
11:53No, can we just leave it for now?
11:55Hey, will you sweep up?
12:00Is this the doc going back to see you, love?
12:03You and Rick moved me.
12:05We didn't have a choice.
12:07You couldn't breathe.
12:08You moved me, and now I'm lying here, and I can't feel a thing.
12:11I'm so sorry, love.
12:13I wish there was something else I could say, but...
12:16You would have died if we didn't do what we did.
12:18I would rather be dead than live the rest of my life like this.
12:22Martha.
12:23I could be a quadriplegic all because you two moved me.
12:26Sorry I dropped you.
12:27Martha, we're ready to take you down for some more tests, so you can all come if you want.
12:31No, I'm fine on my own.
12:33Okay.
12:34You might be long.
12:47Thanks again for being here.
12:48Oh, that's okay.
12:49And I mean it.
12:50Just let us know if you need us to do anything.
12:55Funeral arrangements can wait.
12:57Don't do this to yourself now.
12:59I'm not making funeral arrangements.
13:02Then...
13:02I'm looking for the number for docs.
13:05Why?
13:07Barry.
13:08Olivia's just lost her mother.
13:10As soon as she's got somewhere to belong, the better.
13:12Hang on.
13:13Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself just a little?
13:15No, I don't.
13:16Irene, taking custody of an eight-year-old child.
13:20We need to talk about this.
13:21Look, will you please stay out of this?
13:23It's got nothing to do with you.
13:28She's got every right to hate me.
13:29To hate us.
13:30And you were just doing as you were told.
13:33You even warned me that it might be risky to move her.
13:35But I went ahead and did it anyway.
13:37Hey, come on, you two.
13:38You did what you had to do.
13:39You saved her life.
13:40Isn't that the whole point?
13:44I just got your message.
13:45There's been an accident.
13:46Yes.
13:46Like you didn't know.
13:47What?
13:48Your niece might never walk again.
13:50And Chloe Richards is lying in there dead.
13:52What are you talking about?
13:53Hey, little crap.
13:54You just sprung away at what happened.
13:56You don't have any idea what you've done this time.
13:58I should have given you a thrash it years ago.
14:00For their sake.
14:08I had nothing to do with it.
14:10I wasn't even anywhere near here when it happened.
14:12I know.
14:12Didn't even know about it until I got your message
14:14and I drove straight back here.
14:15You've got to believe me.
14:16I do believe you.
14:18Really?
14:19I do.
14:20And I'm sure your father does as well.
14:22It's just emotional talking.
14:24I mean, I know I've done some bad stuff before,
14:26but for him to actually think I did this...
14:27Yeah, as I said before,
14:28he's just very emotional right now.
14:32Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know he's here.
14:36Who was that?
14:38Just left a message for Peter.
14:40What, you don't seriously think
14:41Duncan was driving the other car?
14:43You don't know him like I do.
14:47I just left a message for you.
14:48I just think you want to contact you too, mate.
14:50Now listen, the paint that we took from Chloe's car
14:52comes from a different model to Duncan's.
14:57This is Duncan?
14:59Duncan?
15:03I'll leave you two of me.
15:06You don't have to say anything.
15:07Oh, yes, I do.
15:10Have you any idea of the damage you have just done?
15:14Martha?
15:14It won't be long out for you.
15:16Just give me a second.
15:23What, she's applying for custody?
15:26Apparently so, yes.
15:27Well, has she even thought it through, probably?
15:29She hasn't thought it through at all.
15:32I've tried talking to her,
15:33but she simply won't listen to reason.
15:35I don't know what else I can say.
15:36Well, I'll talk to her.
15:38Well, I wish you luck,
15:39but I hope she doesn't cut you off like she did me.
15:43Well, maybe she just needs some more time.
15:44Everything is still so fresh.
15:47Yes, perhaps.
15:49Anyway, I'd better get back home.
15:51I'll come back later on.
15:52Is there anything you want me to bring you?
15:54Um, no, I'm good, thanks.
15:56See you soon.
15:57See ya.
15:59It's really stressing him out, isn't it?
16:01Yeah.
16:02But I know what Irene's like.
16:03Once she gets an idea in her head,
16:04there's no talking her out of it.
16:06What do you think about it?
16:08Olivia's staying with us.
16:11Yeah, it'll be right, I guess.
16:12As long as it's what she wants.
16:13I mean, that's the main thing, isn't it?
16:15Yeah.
16:16What?
16:18Oh, nothing, Olivia.
16:19She's just...
16:19She's so young,
16:21and she's already lost both her parents.
16:22I mean, no kid deserves that.
16:24Hey, it's not something our baby's gonna have to worry about.
16:27Yeah, but it nearly was last night.
16:29I'm okay.
16:30Yeah, I know, but...
16:32I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you.
16:34Well, we hadn't lost you.
16:38I'm not going anywhere, okay?
16:48Are we right to come in?
16:57Love, I'm really sorry.
16:59And I don't blame you for hating me.
17:01I honestly thought I was doing the right thing.
17:05I don't hate you.
17:10She's scared.
17:11I'm so scared.
17:14I just...
17:15I don't know.
17:17I guess I was in shock or something.
17:19I'm so sorry for taking it out like I did.
17:22You've got nothing to be sorry for, love.
17:24Yeah, your granddad's right.
17:32I can feel that.
17:34Sorry?
17:35Touch my hand again.
17:38I can feel that.
17:40Please, I can feel that.
17:42Please.
17:46Do you feel that?
17:48No.
17:49Right there.
17:52What's wrong with me?
17:53Why can't I feel...
17:54Right there.
17:57Yes.
17:58Yeah, I can feel it there.
18:02Yeah?
18:03Yeah.
18:05Yeah, I can feel that.
18:08Now, I don't want you worrying about a thing, okay?
18:12You're going to be safe here with me
18:13and nothing is going to change that.
18:15Okay?
18:16Okay?
18:17Okay?
18:18Irene.
18:19Can I have a word?
18:22Sweetheart, why don't you nick upstairs and grab your book
18:25and we'll have a little cuddle-up on the lounge
18:26and a bit of a read, okay?
18:28That's my girl.
18:38How can you make those kind of promises to Olivia
18:41when you don't know what's going to happen?
18:43Well, I do know what's going to happen.
18:45Olivia has a living relative.
18:47The likelihood of you getting custody is...
18:52I don't care what the likelihood of it is.
18:55Diana Fraser is not getting her mitts on that little girl.
18:58Just stop and listen to yourself.
19:01You listen to yourself.
19:03Why aren't you making this so damn hard for me?
19:06All I'm trying to do is discuss it with you.
19:07This decision impacts on me as well.
19:09There is nothing to discuss.
19:11I am applying for custody of Olivia
19:15and you can either be with me on that or not.
19:18Irene!
19:18I mean it, Barry.
19:20And that girl is staying here with me
19:23and that is final.
19:25I'll do it without you if I have to.
19:54What is this idiot doing?
19:58What the...
20:03Al.
20:06You okay?
20:09How's Duncan?
20:10I tried to ring him to apologise
20:12but he won't answer his phone.
20:15He'll come around, mate.
20:16Yeah, maybe.
20:19Any news on who was driving the other car?
20:22Well, we're still trying to contact Troy Peters
20:24but it seems he's long gone.
20:26So it obviously wasn't him.
20:27Well, I'm not ruling out any possibilities
20:29but it's not looking particularly likely, no.
20:31Well, there is one thing we know for sure.
20:33Whoever it was is no one to us.
20:37Well, come on, mate.
20:38They were driving straight at us.
20:39It was personal.
20:40Perhaps, mate.
20:40Yeah, perhaps nothing.
20:42And I'll tell you something else.
20:45Chloe's death isn't going to be in vain.
20:47No matter what it takes,
20:48we're going to find who did this.
20:58It's suddenly clear
21:02I will always
21:04lead you here
21:06Hold me in your arms
21:09Don't let me go
21:11I want to stay
21:13forever
21:15Closer each day
21:17Home and away
21:19Home and away
