00:01Post-optual agreement. One of its conditions is that if Grandpa dies in the first three months of their marriage,
00:06Amanda gets nothing.
00:08That's why she needs to keep him alive.
00:10I'm here to inform you that Mrs. Hunter is going to contest your decision to keep her father on life
00:14support.
00:15She can't do that.
00:16Oh, I assure you, she can.
00:18So, we'll see you in court, Miss Vale.
00:21Tomorrow.
00:26Get her! Take her to the stage!
00:28No! Take her!
00:31Anything smooth about me is my chest.
00:33That's how I like it.
00:53You're my guiding star.
00:58Hold me in your arms. Don't let me go.
01:03I want to stay forever.
01:07Closer each day.
01:10Home and away.
01:27Aren't you going to school today?
01:29Nah, I want to be in court for Mum.
01:33I cannot wait to see the look on Amanda's face when that judge jumps all over her.
01:38That witch is finally going to get what she deserves.
01:41You thinking about Grandpa?
01:43Yeah.
01:46What, is there something else?
01:49Um, Jane's been texting me. I think she's pretty keen.
01:52And you're not? Is that it?
01:53I should never have kissed her.
01:56Why are you beating yourself up about this?
01:58Because I shouldn't be kissing someone behind Tasha's back. It's not right.
02:02Robby, you're not with Tasha anymore.
02:04Yeah, I know that, but I can't help it. I feel bad.
02:08The way you're feeling is completely normal.
02:10I mean, it's never going to feel right to kiss someone else.
02:12Not until you've let go of Tasha and moved on.
02:16And I'm not saying that that's going to be easy, but if she's done it, then maybe you have to
02:20do the same.
02:21Maybe I should go and talk to her about it.
02:22No, no, no. Robby, she said that she doesn't want to see you.
02:25Going out there and seeing her now, it's the worst thing you could do.
02:29Oh, that's fine.
02:32All right.
02:39You got it.
02:54Go on.
02:55Good.
02:56Let's go.
02:57See what we wanted to see?
02:58Well, the whole world is going to be a place to the same place.
02:58Here we go.
03:00Here we go.
03:30Here's your breakfast.
03:31Jonah, you have to get me out of here.
03:33Shut up.
03:35Jonah, please.
03:38I'm really scared.
03:41You've helped me before.
03:41Please, just shut up.
03:42I know you can.
03:43I believe you.
03:45Look, what happened?
03:47Nothing.
03:48It's fine.
03:49Did Mama Rose do that to you?
03:52Jonah.
03:53Just eat your breakfast, Ash.
04:10Now, I'll be asking the court for an order
04:12that gives you Beth's sole responsibility
04:14over the fate of your father.
04:16Well, I just want Dad to get his wish to die with dignity
04:18and not waste away on a machine.
04:20Well, that's what the order will grant.
04:21Um, your right to turn off his life support.
04:24Now, Amanda's counsel will claim
04:27that as she is his wife, she has that right.
04:29But we will argue that she's only keeping him alive
04:32to benefit financially from the post-nuptial agreement.
04:35Therefore, that right should be forfeited.
04:37Now, is everyone clear with that?
04:40Fine.
04:41All right.
04:42I'd better head off and, um, prepare.
04:45I shall see you soon.
04:46Maureen, um, honestly, what are our chances?
04:51Honestly?
04:52I think it's going to be an uphill battle.
04:55I mean, trying to convince the judge
04:56that their marriage is a sham is going to be,
04:58well, not easy.
05:00Well, I'm prepared to swear I caught Josh and Amanda
05:02kissing in his office.
05:03Unfortunately, Robbie, one kiss does not an affair make.
05:06Um, but...
05:08It helps.
05:09Maureen, what about that Project 56 thing?
05:11Is there some way we can prove that she's involved
05:12and that's why she wants the money?
05:14Well, not convincingly.
05:15I mean, they're only my suspicions.
05:17So we don't have any concrete evidence against her?
05:19Nothing tangible, no.
05:21Well, we just have to give it our best shot.
05:23Yeah, I agree.
05:23Now, where are you going?
05:24I'll be back in a little while, OK?
05:40May I not in today?
05:41Not at the pleasant moment.
05:42Would you like to make an appointment to see?
05:44Oh, no, no, no.
05:45I just wanted to see about a busker's licence.
05:47A busker's licence.
05:48I'll have to search for that.
05:49Would you mind waiting here?
06:10I don't care.
06:11I'm the one that gives the orders in this place, OK?
06:14Excuse me, miss.
06:17Well, well, well.
06:18What have we got here?
06:20Kid Hunter.
06:21It's been a while.
06:22Not quite long enough.
06:23What would you be doing in this place?
06:26Come for some booze?
06:27I haven't done anything.
06:28Then you won't mind if we check the security types, then?
06:32Oh, poor girl.
06:34Lost a few brain cells, haven't we?
06:35I know what you and Amanda are trying to do.
06:37You want to get to my grandfather's money.
06:38Would you please remove her?
06:39You're not going to get away with this, Josh.
06:41Come on.
06:42Get off me.
06:42I'm going.
06:43Now, now.
06:44Now.
06:56Where is Kit?
06:58Wait.
06:59Mate, did you get through to her?
07:00Um, no.
07:01Phone must be switched off.
07:03Well, why did you take off like that?
07:04Mum, I've got to go.
07:06What?
07:06You as well?
07:07Robbie, you know we've got to go to court soon.
07:09Yeah, I know.
07:09And I'll meet you there.
07:09But I've got to do something first, OK?
07:11See ya.
07:11What is it with my children?
07:13Hey, any more actors in time for lunch?
07:15Oh, thank you.
07:18My appetite is waning rapidly after the phone call I've just received.
07:22Someone has just told me who is presiding over us today.
07:25One Judge Gilroy.
07:26Is that a problem?
07:27Well, hopefully not.
07:29Let's just say that she and I never see eye to eye.
07:31Where have you been?
07:33On a mission.
07:35What is this?
07:36That is footage from the council chamber security camera.
07:38It shows Amanda leaving Josh's office at all hours of the day and the night.
07:41It's a proof we need they were having an affair.
07:43Nice work, kid.
07:43Now there's even shots of them kissing.
07:46How did you get this?
07:47You don't want to know.
07:48What does it matter?
07:49It's all the evidence we need.
07:50It matters a great deal.
07:51I can't submit anything that's been illegally obtained.
07:54You don't know how it was obtained, though it was just handed to you.
07:57Yeah, can't you just, like, you know, bend the rules a little bit?
08:00No, Tony, I can't just bend the rules a little bit.
08:03It is inadmissible.
08:04Amanda is a liar.
08:05This tape proves that you have to use it.
08:07Morag's right, guys.
08:08Otherwise, it'll be thrown out.
08:09But if this footage could win the case, then isn't it worth it?
08:12Beth, I would like to use it.
08:14Just put it down to professional ethics.
08:16Ethics?
08:17Well, that's a joke.
08:18This whole case is about Amanda's total lack of ethics.
08:21If this is all that we have to stop her doing that to Dad,
08:24then you have to use it.
08:33Josh.
08:36Tasha.
08:39Jonah.
08:40Where's Tasha?
08:41I have to speak to her.
08:42I don't think she wants to speak to you, mate.
08:44Don't worry, I'm not here to take her away or anything.
08:45I just want to talk to her.
08:46I want to see her.
08:48I'm sorry, she's not here.
08:50What do you mean she's not here?
08:52I mean she's not here at the moment.
08:53She's, um...
08:55She went to the city for a couple of days with Mama Rose.
09:22Let her know I stopped by.
09:25Actually, don't worry about it.
09:29Robbie, can you hear me?
09:33Robbie!
09:37Robbie!
09:38Robbie, Robbie!
09:41Robbie, help me.
09:42I'm in here.
09:43Robbie!
09:45No, no, no!
09:47No, Robbie!
09:52Robbie!
09:53Robbie!
10:14I just can't let him die.
10:18I don't know how his family can just give up on him so easily.
10:21Thank you, Mrs. Walters.
10:23Your witness, Miss Bellingham.
10:25Thank you, Your Worship, Miss Vale.
10:27You and your husband signed a financial agreement, did you not?
10:31A post-nuptial agreement, yes.
10:33Stating that if the marriage ended within three months, you in fact would not receive one cent.
10:38Is that correct?
10:39Yes.
10:40Well, then, why do you think your husband insisted on this agreement?
10:43I mean, didn't he trust you?
10:44Of course he did.
10:46The post-nuptial agreement was my idea.
10:49I wanted to show his family that I wasn't interested in his money.
10:52The liar was my idea.
10:53I'll have no public comment in my court, thank you.
10:56Um, in other words, it was designed to put everyone, including your husband, off the cent.
11:02Your Worship.
11:03Quite right, Counselor.
11:04What are you implying, Miss Bellingham?
11:06Uh, Your Worship, I'm suggesting the contrary to Miss Vale's assertions,
11:10her husband did, in fact, not trust her,
11:12because he knew she was having an affair with Joshua West.
11:15That is not true!
11:16I hope you can support that claim.
11:18Oh, yes, we have a witness who will testify.
11:20He saw them kissing.
11:22Mr. West kissed me once, and I pushed him away.
11:25It never happened again, and it was not an affair.
11:28I love Graham.
11:29A single kiss to prove a continuing relationship.
11:33Please tell me you have more than that to support this claim.
11:38Counselor Bellingham, if you have no proof, then desist from this line of questioning.
11:45Do you have evidence to support this claim or not?
11:53I do, Your Honor.
11:56These are images.
11:59Counselor Office security tape, quite clearly showing Miss Vale visiting Mr. West's office
12:03at all hours of the day and night.
12:05I object.
12:06All evidence should have been tendered prior to the commencement of this hearing.
12:09Um, these have only just come to hand, Your Worship.
12:12It's an unfair surprise.
12:13Yes, but evidence nevertheless.
12:15All right, settle down.
12:15Everyone, please bring me the photographs, Miss Bellingham.
12:19Your objection is noted, Mr. Dempster.
12:23Thank you, Your Worship.
12:24I will draw your attention to the time codes.
12:26Um, 7.05 a.m., 9.45 p.m.
12:33The pair of them leaving the office at 2.10 a.m.
12:38And, um, one with Miss Vale in a passionate clinch with Mr. West.
12:43So, if this was not an affair, what on earth were you doing at these extraordinary hours
12:46in Mr. West's office?
12:48I, um, I don't...
12:49Well, I put it to you that your marriage to Mr. Walters is a sham,
12:52designed solely to benefit from his money and his assets.
12:56Objection!
12:56You never loved him.
12:58You were having an affair with a much younger man,
13:00which the evidence clearly shows.
13:01And with your husband now on life support,
13:03you have to keep him there so that your plan was sustained.
13:05Objection, Your Worship.
13:06I would like to know how these photos were obtained and their source.
13:11Sustained?
13:12Um, they are images from a security tape, Your Worship.
13:14Well, we know what they are, Miss Bellingham.
13:17What we'd like to know is how they came into your possession.
13:19Well, I will have to check that, Your Worship.
13:21Were they not subpoenaed or obtained through a warrant?
13:24Uh, not as far as I know.
13:27Am I to believe that this security tape was obtained illegally?
13:31Um, I'm sorry, I cannot confirm how they actually came to light, Your Worship.
13:37I'll take that as a yes.
13:39Therefore, I must disallow these photographs.
13:41I order they be removed from the record.
13:43Yeah, but surely the facts remain, Your Worship.
13:44You understand the rule of evidence, Miss Bellingham.
13:47Um, if you pull a stunt like that in my courtroom again,
13:50You will face prosecution yourself.
14:13Ha!
14:15Ha!
14:42Hiya, Lime.
14:44It's okay, I got it.
14:45Where's Luke and Maddy?
14:46They decided the surf club would be better than DVDs.
14:48Oh, fair enough.
14:49Hello, Hunter residents.
14:51No, sorry, she's not home at the moment.
14:53Sorry, who is this?
14:56You're his solicitor.
15:00Silence.
15:01All stand.
15:02This court is now resumed.
15:05Please sit.
15:12I find Amanda Walters to be a credible witness.
15:16I have no reason to doubt her claim she is a faithful wife, especially since the applicant
15:21has failed to produce any allowable evidence to the contrary.
15:25Mr Walters may have wished not to be kept alive by artificial means, as claimed by his daughter.
15:31But he did not express that wish to his wife, with whom the decision rests.
15:35My finding, therefore, on this application is...
15:41Who's interrupting the court?
15:43Um, one moment, if I may, Your Honour.
15:45You are testing the limits of my patience today, Ms Bellingham.
15:48Um, yes, um, thank you, Your Honour.
15:51Um, I do have some new evidence.
15:54Um, these are recently signed divorce papers, faxed over only moments ago from Mr Walters'
15:59solicitor's office.
16:01Um, so, if Mr Walters was so devoted to Ms Vale, as we've been led to believe, why was
16:07he filing for divorce?
16:08Well, the answer's right here.
16:09Her infidelity.
16:22In light of this new evidence, I shall need to review my findings.
16:26I call a ten-minute recess.
16:28All stand.
16:43But is it enough, do you think?
16:45Well, I don't see how the judge has any other option but to find for us.
16:48Oh, good.
16:48Just say, hang in there, I think your dad's about to get the piece he needs.
16:51No, I suppose it is.
16:52I hope so.
16:53All stand.
16:59Please sit.
17:06I have carefully considered all the facts in this case.
17:10And both parties may read my arguments in full at a later date.
17:16I find for the respondent, Amanda Walters.
17:19And in doing so, I reject the application sought by the daughter Beth Hunter.
17:24Oh, Your Worship, this is how he's religious.
17:26Order!
17:27Order!
17:28I urge you to reconsider.
17:30Sit down, Miss Bellingham.
17:32All of you, sit down and be quiet.
17:33Not until you have told us how you can possibly have reached this decision.
17:36Because the statement of infidelity as reason for divorce is only hearsay.
17:41It has not been proven.
17:42It came directly from Mr. Walters, Your Worship.
17:45More outbursts from you, Miss Bellingham, and I shall hold you in contempt of this court.
17:49Is that clear?
17:51This case is closed.
17:55All stand.
18:07I won.
18:09I can't believe it.
18:10I actually won.
18:12I knew you would.
18:14I thought you weren't going to come today.
18:16I just thought I'd pop in to see how you were going.
18:20Well, I nearly died when they pulled out the divorce papers.
18:23I'm still shaking.
18:24You did really well today, babe.
18:26I'm very proud of you.
18:27Yeah.
18:28There's nothing short of a miracle.
18:30There's no such thing as miracles.
18:34Did you have something to do with it?
18:36Guilty, Your Honour.
18:38How?
18:39What did you do?
18:41Let's just say that Judge Gilroy has a few little secrets she doesn't want getting out.
18:52Can't you appeal the decision, Moray?
18:54Well, of course I can, but it has to be heard by a full bench, and it'll take at least
18:58three
18:58months before we can get a hearing.
19:00Then she won't need to keep him alive because she would have already inherited his money.
19:05Well, love, at least he'll never know about all this horrible stuff.
19:08I promised him that he'd have died with dignity.
19:12I promised him.
19:14How can she be so hearted?
19:16Yeah, well, it's just it.
19:17She has no heart.
19:18And there's definitely cold blood running through those veins.
19:25What's going on?
19:26You haven't said a word since we left the courthouse.
19:28I'm angry, like you.
19:29Martha said you ran off before.
19:31You went to see Tasha, didn't you?
19:33Yeah, but she wasn't there, so it was a waste of time like this whole stupid day.
19:36Where was she?
19:37I don't know.
19:38Jonah said she went to the city or something, but he was sad, weird, nervous, and he couldn't
19:42wait to get rid of me.
19:43I just felt like something else was going on with him.
19:47I just hope Tasha's okay.
20:38I just hope Tasha's okay.
20:43I just hope Tasha's okay.
21:15I just hope Tasha's okay.
21:17A desperate escape plan.
21:19She is the chosen one.
21:22Could go desperately wrong.
21:27Plus, how will they deal with their loss?
21:30They have judged it!
21:31Home and away tomorrow.
21:32Come on!
