00:01How does it feel living next door to a murderer?
00:06And we've been talking about the controversial cop Jack Holden
00:10coming to work in our own Summer Bay.
00:13Let us know your thoughts.
00:15Here we go again.
00:15Do you agree with Mrs McAllen?
00:17Harry Chambers just spoke to them on air.
00:19How do they do without a trigger-happy enforcer cruising the streets?
00:23Dear Kim, I saw the message you posted on the website asking about Carrie Stevens.
00:27I knew your mother very well. If you want to talk, call me on the number below.
00:30There's a lot to say after so many years.
00:33Well, maybe you'll believe this.
00:35Who are they?
00:37Well, the baby's you. The little fella's Jonathan.
00:41Your mum was never the same after he died.
00:43Well, who is Jonathan?
00:45Jonathan was your brother.
00:57No matter where you are.
01:00No matter where you are.
01:02You're my guiding star.
01:05You're my guiding star.
01:07Hold me in your arms.
01:09Don't let me go.
01:11I want to stay forever.
01:15Closer each day.
01:18Home and away.
01:21Kim, you don't even know...
01:23If that's me, you need to call me as soon as you get back from the conference.
01:25It's important.
01:27Don't let this get out of control, alright?
01:29You need to hear his side of things before you go off.
01:31This doesn't need to get ugly.
01:32Hayley, I have a brother I didn't know about because he didn't tell me.
01:35It's gonna get ugly.
01:36You didn't know. You'd find out.
01:37That's not the point, okay? I should've known. I have a right.
01:40I know.
01:41I just don't get it. Why didn't he tell me?
01:43I don't know. There's something you're gonna have to ask him.
01:44Well, I will if you return my damn phone calls.
01:46He will.
01:48I knew it. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me.
01:50Well, maybe he's got a good reason.
01:52Yeah, well, he better. That's all I can say.
01:57Look, if there's anything that we can do to help, don't hesitate to knock on the door.
02:02Thanks. You might regret saying that.
02:03Oh, look. Anytime, honestly.
02:05Hang in there, mate. I know it sucks right now, but it'll get better.
02:08Thanks. Thanks for listening. Really appreciate it.
02:11See you guys.
02:11Bye.
02:16Nice people, but they really don't have any idea, do they?
02:19Hey, hey, hey. Come on. They know the town better than we do.
02:21Yeah, just... just cause a minute's ringing a radio station doesn't mean the whole place is bad.
02:24Oh, you know how it is. It's always the loudest voices.
02:28And... and they just don't get it.
02:30Why don't you shoot them in the arm? Why don't you aim for the knee?
02:33I mean, if someone's pointing a gun at you, you can't afford to miss. You aim for the chest.
02:38Mate, you did what you're supposed to do. No question there at all.
02:45Hey, I feel sorry for the family.
02:50But why doesn't anyone ever ask what a 17-year-old girl was doing with a gun in the first
02:54place?
02:56They think that I want to do it.
02:59That I want to have the nightmares every night where I see her face.
03:11Getting worked up is not going to help.
03:13The only thing that's going to help here is Dad pulling his finger out and giving me some answers, OK?
03:17I got your messages.
03:19What's so urgent? Is everything all right?
03:20I'll leave you to it.
03:23We met Tom Anderson today. You know who he is?
03:27Kim, what's this about?
03:27It's about my mother.
03:29He seemed to know her pretty well.
03:31You know what he also said?
03:32Yes, well, I wouldn't trust anything that man had to say if I were you.
03:35Really?
03:35Well, maybe that's because you're embarrassed.
03:37I beg your pardon?
03:38He told us, Dad, OK?
03:38He told us about their affairs.
03:40Is that what it was?
03:40Were you humiliated?
03:41Is that what you've been trying to hide from me?
03:43Of course, it was difficult.
03:45But I'm not hiding anything.
03:47Well, that's not what Tom seems to say.
03:48Yes, well, he's not the most reliable.
03:50You know what?
03:50He knew Mum and he also knew Jonathan.
03:52I don't know who this Jonathan is.
03:55You do know who he is, OK?
03:55I don't know why he keeps...
03:56He's your son!
03:59Remember him?
04:00Because I wish I could.
04:05Now, one way or another, you're not leaving here until you tell me the truth.
04:09So I'd start talking.
04:13Yeah, sure, but what's the point of having police if they're not allowed to stop criminals?
04:16Yeah, yeah.
04:17It's like having a chef who isn't allowed to cook.
04:19Maybe we should just give this guy a chance.
04:21Quite a chance to shoot someone else.
04:22And what if it was little VJ running off the rails?
04:26You want the police to lock him up in jail instead of shooting him, wouldn't you?
04:29Yeah, but Colleen, we're not talking about a three-year-old with a water pistol.
04:33Like you said, they were armed robbers, right?
04:36Yeah, but Colleen's right.
04:37Once you start letting cops get away with murder, because that's what it is, where does it end?
04:41Where does what end?
04:42The power of the police.
04:44Jack Holden might think he's above the law, but he is not.
04:46Guys, seriously, you've got it all wrong.
04:48I've just seen Jack, and all this stuff on the radio is way off.
04:51Are you saying he didn't kill that girl?
04:52No, it wasn't his fault, all right?
04:54You've got to hear it from his side of the story.
04:56His side of the story is a load of Codswallop.
04:59My name's Harry Chambers.
05:01My daughter didn't have to die.
05:03She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing, I admit.
05:07But does that mean she had to die?
05:10Jack Holden shouldn't be carrying a gun.
05:12If he wasn't, my daughter would be alive today.
05:15You deserve to know the truth.
05:17The Abbey Creek FM's supporting a town meeting here tonight
05:20so that everyone can be properly informed about the dangers this community is facing.
05:24I'll be there with bells on.
05:25You can't be in.
05:33You never get over it.
05:37Losing a child.
05:41The pain is...
05:45Well, you survive it the best you can.
05:50Your mother and I were thrilled when he came along.
05:53He was a delight.
05:56Which made what happened even harder to accept.
06:00What did happen?
06:03I was teaching at the local school.
06:05I remember I was...
06:07writing on the blackboard and the school secretary came in and...
06:12said there was a call from Kerry.
06:15She was very upset, hysterical.
06:20Something was wrong with Johnny.
06:24I raced home...
06:27trying to convince myself it was just Kerry panicking over nothing.
06:32That when I got there, it'd be alright.
06:36I found them...
06:38I found them...
06:40in the bathroom.
06:44Kerry was just...
06:48sitting there...
06:51crying.
06:54Jonathan was...
07:00lying beside her.
07:05He...
07:09hid...
07:10hid...
07:12drowned...
07:13in the bath.
07:19Why didn't you tell me any of this?
07:21It isn't easy to talk about.
07:23Yeah, I can't doubt I understand that but...
07:26he was my brother.
07:27I'm 18 years old.
07:28Why am I just finding out now?
07:30You don't understand.
07:31Exactly, I don't understand.
07:32That's why I need some answers.
07:34Kim.
07:35Don't start this again, please.
07:36Why not?
07:37What else don't you want me to know?
07:38Kim.
07:39What?
07:40Let's talk about Mum.
07:42Summer Bay was one of her favourite places and she talked about moving here one day.
07:46And then years after she does the bolt, you get posted here.
07:48What's that about?
07:49Nothing.
07:50And I'm supposed to trust that, am I?
07:52Did you really get posted here or did you want to come here?
07:55Is Mum around here somewhere?
07:56Don't be ridiculous.
07:57What's ridiculous?
07:58Me wanting to know about my mother or you not telling me about my own brother?
08:00If you're not going to be reasonable...
08:01Look, I have been too damn reasonable about this.
08:04I've had enough of this.
08:04No, look at me, okay?
08:05I need to know...
08:06This conversation is over.
08:08What?
08:14Mrs. Bellingham, I was hoping you'd be here.
08:23Can we talk?
08:24Um, nothing serious, I hope.
08:27It's, um, it's about my mother, Kerry Harde.
08:29I'm trying to find her and, you know, I could really do with a hand.
08:32Kim, I'm not a private detective.
08:34No, I know.
08:34It's just...
08:35I'm desperate, okay?
08:36And I figure you've probably got more of an idea where to start than I do.
08:39Really?
08:40We met this guy today, Tom Anderson, and, um...
08:43Well, he knew her pretty well.
08:45He reckoned she might have landed here sometime after she took off.
08:47Um, Kim, shouldn't you be talking to your father about this?
08:50Yeah, well, Kim got about as much information as Barry can give, which isn't much, so...
08:53Is there a problem?
08:55Well, it's just he's not too keen on digging up the past.
08:57Well, that doesn't give him much to go on, does it?
08:59Is there anything else at all?
09:01Well, there's this.
09:04There's this.
09:05There's this.
09:13There's this.
09:14So, do you think you can help?
09:16Well, I'll see what I can do.
09:20Anything would be great.
09:24Morag.
09:28Barry?
09:29I see no point in skirting around the issue, so has...
09:32Kim asked you to help him track down his mother, Kerry?
09:35As a matter of fact, yes, as a favour.
09:37Then I'd also ask a favour.
09:39Let it go.
09:41Why are you so determined that he shouldn't find his mother?
09:44Please, Morag.
09:45You don't know what you're getting yourself into.
09:48You don't know what you're getting Kim into.
09:50Then why don't you try telling me?
09:54Fine.
09:56Unless you can come up with some valid reason
09:58as to why I shouldn't help Kim find his mother,
10:01I'm going to do everything I can.
10:08Hey, why don't we head out for dinner
10:09and check out some of the local sites?
10:11Sounds cool.
10:12No, I'm just going to stay here and watch some telly.
10:14Oh, come on, mate.
10:16You can't hide for the rest of your life.
10:21Hi.
10:21Hi.
10:22I hope we're not intruding again.
10:23No, not at all.
10:24We were just going to the club for a drink
10:26and then on to the local Chinese
10:27and we wondered whether you'd like to join us.
10:29They're doing awesome sand choy bao.
10:31I'm so there.
10:32That sounds like a very big yes.
10:34Alright.
10:35From all of us.
10:35We'll meet you outside.
10:37Okay.
10:37Okay.
10:39Come on, mate.
10:40It'll do you good.
10:41Alright?
10:45I can't believe how many people are even giving this guy the time of day.
10:48You can't pull the plug or close the surf hop or something.
10:50The radio station hired the joint, mate.
10:53Unfortunately, they can say whatever they like.
10:56Hey.
10:57Where have you been?
10:57I've been trying to call you.
10:58I was taking time to death and never spoke to you.
11:00You've got a nerve showing your face here after what you've done?
11:02If you had any decency, you'd hand in your badge and your gun.
11:05And what do you know about it?
11:06I know killer cops have got no place here.
11:08Neither do morons, so what's your excuse?
11:10Hey, hey, hey.
11:10This is supposed to be a meeting or I'm not going to achieve anything.
11:12I'm not here to achieve anything.
11:14I'm here to show this thug up for what he is.
11:16A child killer.
11:17The investigation found no wrongdoing on the other half.
11:19Feel good pulling the trigger, did it?
11:21Make you feel like a man watching my daughter die?
11:23Did it?
11:24Make you feel like a man?
11:27Matt.
11:27You'll never get away from this.
11:30Come on.
11:34Jack!
11:34Hold your horses, mate.
11:36Jack!
11:37Where are you going?
11:38Mate, just give it a rest, okay?
11:40The sooner we bail this place, the better for everyone.
11:42Look, I don't know about you, mate,
11:43but I've got a gut for the cutting and running
11:44because a handful of idiots in every place we go
11:46want to make our life hell.
11:47You saw them, Dad.
11:48There's more than a handful.
11:49That's a couple of voices, Jack.
11:51You know what?
11:51A couple of voices can turn things around as well.
11:53They don't want to hear.
11:54Yeah, well, maybe they're going to have to, mate,
11:56because I'm sick of running.
11:58You know, Jack, you didn't ask for this, mate,
12:00but you did your job.
12:02You know, you protected the community.
12:03How many people can honestly say that?
12:05Look, Harry Chambers doesn't tell the mob
12:07that your partner got shot.
12:08He doesn't tell them that the bottle shop owner
12:10couldn't go back to work and lost his business.
12:12And he doesn't tell them that you
12:14have paid such a price for something
12:16that wasn't even your fault.
12:19I think it's about time they heard the truth, mate.
12:22It's supposed to be a town meeting.
12:24Doesn't that mean we get a say to?
12:27Exactly.
12:28We can't keep doing this, Jack.
12:30What do you say, mate?
12:31You ready to go back in there and be heard?
12:40Like I said, my Emily was no saint.
12:44She was feisty.
12:47Like any teenage girl, she didn't always do what was best for her.
12:52She didn't always listen to her dad.
12:56She made mistakes.
12:59But she paid for them with her life
13:01because Jack Holden's got a hair trigger.
13:06Well, you're all facing the same thing right now.
13:09He's here, still in uniform, still carrying a gun.
13:14Is that the kind of law enforcement you want for this town?
13:17Damn likely.
13:18Absolutely not.
13:19Alright, you've had your say.
13:20How about we hear from Jack?
13:21Because he ran out of here like the coward he is.
13:24He's all too ready to shoot first,
13:25but he doesn't want to answer questions later.
13:27We've heard enough to know we don't want his kind here.
13:30Well, we should at least listen to him.
13:32What, so we can trot out some feeble excuse?
13:34No, because that's what this town's built on.
13:37A fair flame and go.
13:39You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves jumping down a bloke's throat
13:42before he's got a right to defend himself.
13:43I've always been proud to be part of this town.
13:46But if this is the way you're going to handle things,
13:48maybe I've been kidding myself.
13:50How proud will you be when Jack Holden hurts one of your friends?
13:54Or worse, one of your family?
13:56Are you a resident of Summer Bay?
13:58No, but I'm here.
13:59Well, you've had your say, so why don't you sit down, eh?
14:02Yeah, I've got a right to speak.
14:03Yeah?
14:04Well, so do I, mate.
14:06You get out of here.
14:07Any resident of Summer Bay is going to be heard.
14:10Otherwise the whole flame and lot of you can get out of here.
14:15Just sit down.
14:22You've all heard that my son Jack killed someone.
14:26She was a 17-year-old girl called Emily Chambers and her father's angry.
14:30He wants vengeance and I can understand that.
14:32Because I'm a father too.
14:35I'm a father who's had to watch his son so down with guilt
14:39that he can hardly get out of bed in the mornings.
14:41A father who's seen his son hounded out of too many places.
14:45I'm a father who is so, so proud of his son
14:50that he doesn't understand how people can be so damn mean to him.
14:53You see, he was put in an impossible position.
14:56I'm not going to drag Emily Chambers' memory into the mud.
14:59That family has suffered enough.
15:01But I am going to ask you this.
15:04If somebody had a gun to your son's head,
15:06what would you want him to do?
15:09You want him to defend himself?
15:11And what about you?
15:13If you had a choice between your son and someone trying to kill him,
15:16who would you want walking away from it?
15:20You all sit here and you judge Jack,
15:22and you swallow Harry Chambers' rubbish hook, line and sinker,
15:25but not one of you, not one, has got off your butts to check the facts.
15:30And believe me, they're all there in the report.
15:32And it cleared his name.
15:34He did his job.
15:36And he's still doing his job.
15:38He's putting himself in harm's way for you.
15:42And you.
15:44So the next time you're in trouble and you pick up the phone,
15:47yeah, you think about that.
15:50I brought my boys here because I thought Summer Bay was an open-minded place.
15:54And granted, we've met some good people.
15:59But the fact is I don't give a damn anymore.
16:02If you people want to sit here and be ignorant, then that's your problem.
16:04But,
16:06if you want to take on my son,
16:09then you sure as hell are ready to come through me first, yeah?
16:18The fresh air's great, Hayley, but honestly I'm fine.
16:21It didn't look like it.
16:23When Morag told you about your dad talking to her,
16:25I thought you were going to explode.
16:26You know, there's no proof that he's hiding anything.
16:28Then why is she so worried about me getting Morag's help to find my mother?
16:33Do you think she wouldn't tell me?
16:35What?
16:36You tried to stop Morag helping me. What are you hiding?
16:39We've had this conversation.
16:40If you want to waste your time, that's your prerogative.
16:43Goodnight.
16:46Whatever it is, I'm going to find it.
16:58That's it.
16:59What?
17:01Okay, Kim, I don't know what you're thinking, but it's a bad idea.
17:04Please don't do anything stupid.
17:05Don't worry about it, okay? I'm going to be fine.
17:08I just wanted to say that Beth's explained everything and I somehow got the wrong end of the stick.
17:14I just want you to know that it's not like me to jump to conclusions without knowing the full story.
17:19And just to show there's no hard feelings, come into the diner any time for a complimentary shake.
17:24Thanks, I'll do that.
17:26Oh, that goes for you too, young man.
17:28Well, thank you.
17:29That's fine.
17:30Sorry.
17:31I'm Dan Baker, this is my wife, Leah.
17:33G'day, Dan, how are you going?
17:33Hello.
17:34Yeah, same, same up.
17:37I'm the school councillor, so...
17:39Great, mate, look forward to seeing you down there.
17:40Excellent.
17:40Well, welcome.
17:42And Beth tells me you're a bit of a gourmet cook.
17:45I hope you can look past the unorthodox welcome, mate.
17:48Hey, most places we've been didn't even get to welcome.
17:50Drink?
17:50Oh, no, thanks.
17:55Excuse me.
18:06You got away with it this time.
18:11Mr. Chambers, I know that that's what you think.
18:15But you're wrong.
18:17I didn't get away with anything.
18:22I have to live with what I did.
18:25Every day of my life.
18:30There isn't a day that goes by
18:33where I don't think about it.
18:37Where I don't regret what I did.
18:50You alright, mate?
18:54Yeah.
18:56I don't know about you, but I could really do with a drink.
19:00Alright, I'll get you one.
19:04Hey.
19:06Hey.
19:07I owe you an apology for what I said before.
19:11Must have been really hard having to do that.
19:14Apology accepted.
19:19Does this mean you're going to ease up on me now?
19:22I was wrong about this.
19:24But I still think you're a jerk.
19:27You might be wrong about that, too.
19:28I don't know.
19:30I don't know.
19:36I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
