00:02Single gunshot wound to the chest. He was found by his secretary.
00:05She's too shaken up to talk.
00:07Forced entry?
00:08No, but we do have a partial print on the door and blood.
00:12Possibly left by the perp on the way out.
00:14I just want to know what happened because you were really angry with Josh about Mr Stewart
00:17and then you went out last night by yourself.
00:19Okay, so I went out by myself. Does that mean I killed the guy, does it?
00:21No, but...
00:24I just want you to be honest with me.
00:25I don't believe you. The whole time we spent together you still can't even trust me.
00:28I just want to know what happened.
00:29Yeah, well good luck finding out.
00:58I've had a new way, forever. Closer each day. Home and away.
01:14Nice bod.
01:16I have those places.
01:18You know, if some are coming and you wanted to impress me, there are other ways.
01:23It was a joke.
01:25It wasn't funny.
01:27Oh, what's up with you?
01:28I just had to clear my head, that's all.
01:31You and the princess had another fight.
01:34She's still thinking there's something going on between us.
01:36It's not that.
01:37But it is something.
01:40I got questioned by the police yesterday.
01:42Why?
01:44You know that guy who got shot, Josh West?
01:45You know that one everyone hated?
01:47Mm-hmm.
01:49They think you had something to do with it.
01:51Well, not just the cops.
01:53Cassie too?
01:54How could she possibly think for a second that I would kill someone?
01:57I don't know, she's your girlfriend.
01:58She's meant to be supporting you.
02:00Well, exactly.
02:00She shouldn't even have to ask the question.
02:02Since I'm not your girlfriend, I can get away with it.
02:05Get away with what?
02:06Asking.
02:08Did you have anything to do with it?
02:09No.
02:10Yeah, well then why don't I believe you?
02:13What have you done?
02:19What about North Faterno's Lane?
02:20Okay, fax it to Coastal News and then on to head office.
02:22Okay, thanks.
02:22They'll decide while the media outlets we need to release this to.
02:25Is that Harper?
02:26Yes.
02:27He said they've finished searching the area around the council office in Bushland south of
02:31here, but nothing so far.
02:32What about the dive team?
02:33They've just arrived.
02:34They're going to check Gabby Creek first and move on the major waterways.
02:36We have to find that murder weapon.
02:38You're assuming that the killer disposed it?
02:40Well, it fits the profile so far.
02:41If it's someone that we've already interviewed, then it's called an out-of-character crime.
02:45And then these people don't just leave evidence laying around.
02:48Look, mate, I know this is hard for you.
02:50I've got personal connections to these people too, but we have to keep a clear head, okay?
02:53I know.
02:54All right, any news on the autopsy?
02:55We need to find that bullet.
02:56Yeah, they said it's going to take another 24 hours longer if there's a backlog.
02:59Okay, just keep on them, right?
03:00And it would be good if we could find that missing surveillance camera footage.
03:03You have a click, please?
03:03Yeah, hang on, I'll get in for you.
03:05Detective, it's forensics.
03:06They've got a match on that fingerprint.
03:08Thanks.
03:08Yep.
03:08You got a name for me?
03:10It's impossible.
03:11It can't be my fingerprint.
03:13Well, it matches the prints that we have on file.
03:16So what?
03:17I've been to Josh's office a hundred times.
03:19It doesn't mean I killed him.
03:22And how do you explain the fact that we found your print smeared in his blood?
03:31I can't explain it.
03:33But that doesn't mean I killed him.
03:37Well, you said yourself it's only a partial print.
03:40So obviously it's some sort of mistake.
03:43And you guys know that.
03:44Otherwise you'd charge me, right?
03:46Well, if you've got nothing to hide, then you won't mind us taking a look around your apartment.
03:50Why?
03:51So we can rule you out as a suspect.
03:53No way.
03:54I have had enough harassment.
03:56Amanda, we can get a warrant.
03:59Get one.
04:00You won't find a thing.
04:05Constable Holden's leaving the interview at 9.47am.
04:13Why are you doing this to me?
04:16To Ryan?
04:18He's your nephew.
04:20Doesn't that mean anything to you?
04:25I have done nothing wrong.
04:27Look, if you really want to convince me of that, then you'll start cooperating.
04:30Because right now I don't believe a word that you're telling me.
04:40Hey.
04:41Sorry.
04:42I didn't mean to scare you.
04:44You didn't.
04:45I thought you were out.
04:46Yeah.
04:47I went for a walk.
04:49I got as far as Stuart's point and realised how stupid I'd been.
04:54I'm so sorry about what I said yesterday.
04:56I should never have doubted you.
04:59Rick, I'm trying to say sorry.
05:02It's fine.
05:03Don't worry about it.
05:04But you're still angry.
05:05Can't we talk about it?
05:06I said don't worry about it.
05:09Where are you going?
05:09Out.
05:10Out where?
05:12I'm going to the gym.
05:13Is that a crime too?
05:16Fine.
05:40Did you bring it?
05:41It's me.
05:42It's me.
05:45Are you sure about this?
05:47I told you.
05:47I'd saw it.
05:54Just leave it with me.
05:56What does that mean?
05:56If the cops find out, I'm dead.
05:57Trust me.
05:58They won't find out.
06:00No one will ever know what you did.
06:06I've got to go.
06:06But I'll let you know when it's done alright.
06:09Belle.
06:11You don't hate me, do you?
06:14If you knew it, this Josh girl is really nice.
06:15They did what you had to do.
06:20They did what you had to do.
06:36This is ridiculous.
06:37You either charge me with something now or I'm leaving.
06:40He won't be long, Mrs. Walters.
06:41No, this is beyond a joke.
06:42I have done everything that I can to help you.
06:44And we appreciate it.
06:46What next?
06:46Torture?
06:47No, you're free to go.
06:48And we are sorry for taking up so much of your time.
06:52Right.
06:55Well, like I said, I want to catch the person who did this to Josh too.
06:59That's good.
06:59And if you do happen to remember anything that may help us, then...
07:02I'll let you know.
07:04And this ridiculous search of my apartment?
07:07Well, we still have to do it just to eliminate you as a suspect.
07:16And I meant what I said before.
07:18I would never do something like this.
07:21I wouldn't do it to Ryan.
07:22Then you've got nothing to worry about, have you?
07:26Okay, you know what to do.
07:27Okay, if she is guilty, she'll trip herself up and we'll be there to catch her.
07:42How was your workout?
07:44It was right.
07:47I saw you with Belle.
07:50What do you think you're doing following me?
07:52What choice did I have?
07:54You were acting all weird and then you lied about where you were going.
07:58Is this your way of punishing me?
08:01What?
08:01Well, you said you weren't going to hang out with Belle anymore,
08:03but the minute we argue, you go running to her.
08:05I didn't go running to her.
08:07Okay, then what were you doing?
08:09And what was in that bag you gave to her?
08:11It wasn't just food, I could tell, so what?
08:14Why are you sneaking around with her?
08:15I wasn't, okay, and I didn't tell you because I know how you feel about her.
08:18And I'm right, she's troubled.
08:19Yeah, well, at least she doesn't think I'm a murderer.
08:24Neither do I.
08:26And if you'd listened to me before, instead of running off to meet her,
08:29you would know that.
08:34Please, Rick, I don't understand any of this.
08:36Talk to me.
08:39Fine.
08:41Forget it then.
09:04You just don't give up, do you?
09:11Look, Rick and I are a couple.
09:13Don't you have any respect for that?
09:15What are you talking about?
09:16I saw the two of you before.
09:19It's not what you think.
09:21What is this?
09:22Reverse psychology?
09:24Am I supposed to think there is something going on so I get jealous?
09:27No, it's nothing like that.
09:28Then tell me, what is going on?
09:31I can't.
09:33I saw Rick give you a bag before.
09:34What was in it?
09:35Nothing.
09:36Stop lying to me.
09:38You're both as bad as each other.
09:39Look, if you really need to know, I'm the one who's helping him.
09:43Why would Rick need your help?
09:46I can't say.
09:48Why can't I get a straight answer out of either of you?
09:50Why do you even have to ask?
09:52You know, maybe if you're a little more trusting of Rick, he'd be coming to you instead of me.
09:58You just stay away from him, okay?
10:22She's just driven in the car park, over.
10:24Okay, keep me informed.
10:26Out.
10:39Detective?
10:40Just arrived.
10:42Search warrant?
10:42Yeah, start to pull some strings.
10:43Okay.
10:58So let's see our lucky day.
11:00Yeah, well, let's see if it's Amanda's, huh?
11:05Amanda, it's Peter Baker.
11:06Open up.
11:10Come on, Amanda.
11:11We know you're in there.
11:12She's not doing herself any flavours.
11:15Amanda?
11:18Amanda?
11:19Amanda?
11:20Amanda?
11:21Amanda?
11:24Amanda?
11:26Mrs. Walters?
11:30Mrs. Walters?
11:33Detective.
11:34Check this out.
11:35She's not in the bedroom.
11:40That's right.
11:41I need that money transferred into my account now.
11:46No, no, it has to be this afternoon.
11:49Look, I'm leaving the country and I need that money to be in my account when I arrive at the
11:53other end.
12:02I want all the available vehicles out there looking for her.
12:05Get on to the guys at Mangrove River and Waratah Heights and let me know as soon as you
12:08find her.
12:09Out.
12:10Amanda never said anything about a fire.
12:11Yeah, well, we should get on to the arson squad ASAP.
12:14They'll be able to let us know whether it was accidental or not.
12:16Looks like we interrupted some packing.
12:18So she's been planning to leave for a while and then we sped things up a bit.
12:21There's no sign of a car.
12:23Found this in the garbage.
12:25We had to take a look.
12:35Bag it up.
12:41It's the bet the missing letters match the death threat that was sent to Mr. West.
12:46You shouldn't have to deal with it.
12:47Thanks for the money we know.
12:53Oh, I've got to go.
12:54All right, I'll talk to you later.
12:55Bye.
12:56I should have known she'd be straight on the phone to you.
12:58You had no right going over there.
13:00Oh, do you think I enjoyed it?
13:02Having to ask Belle what's going on all because my own boyfriend won't even talk to me.
13:14Look, I am sorry I doubted you yesterday.
13:17Okay?
13:18I just kept thinking how angry you were with Josh and I had to ask.
13:22But then I realised I was wrong.
13:24I've been trying to tell you that all day but you won't even give me the chance to explain.
13:29You're too busy doing whatever it is you're doing with her.
13:33You're too busy doing whatever it is you're doing with her.
13:35Okay.
13:37All right.
13:38Let me get this straight.
13:40You now believe that I didn't kill Josh but you think there's something going on with me and Belle?
13:46They're two separate issues.
13:47No, they're not.
13:48They're exactly the same.
13:50When she kissed me a couple of weeks back, why did you doubt me?
13:54I don't know.
13:55We were having problems and it looked bad.
13:57All right.
13:57And we found out Josh died.
13:59Why did you suspect me?
14:00I just told you because you were so angry at him.
14:02All right.
14:03And today, why did you follow me?
14:05Because you weren't being honest.
14:09Cass, it is because you don't trust me.
14:11That's what this is about.
14:12Just admit it.
14:17I want to trust you.
14:18No, but you don't.
14:20See, doesn't this situation remind you of something?
14:22What?
14:23Six months ago, your counselling buddy Steve, remember him?
14:26Yes, and?
14:27And you weren't being honest so I followed you and you blew up at me.
14:30That was different.
14:31I had a good reason for seeing Steve.
14:34Maybe I've got a good reason for seeing Belle.
14:36See, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
14:38There are two sets of rules in this relationship.
14:40One for you, one for me.
14:40Oh, that's not true.
14:41Well, we keep having this same fight.
14:43We had it six months ago.
14:44We're having it again today.
14:45Well, maybe we shouldn't keep getting back together then.
14:47All right, maybe we shouldn't.
14:48So what are you saying now?
14:49You want to break up?
14:51Do you want to keep doing this?
14:53No.
14:54Oh, well, one of us has to make a decision.
14:56So we break up?
14:57Unless you can honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you trust me.
15:04Fine.
15:06So that's it then?
15:09It's really over.
15:11It's really over.
15:22Hey, Mum, what's up?
15:23Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:24Slow down, slow down.
15:25What?
15:25Amanda did what?
15:28Okay, here's a description of the vehicle and number plate.
15:30Alert all the petrol stations between you and the city just in case she stops to refuel.
15:33Peter, I'm in trouble.
15:34What's up?
15:35Mum just phoned Amanda's taken right.
15:36Apparently she just snatched him from the backyard and took on, but she's not answering a mobile
15:40either.
15:41Dan, where do you parents live?
15:42In Wollombay.
15:43Right, here's the address, mate.
15:44There are two main roads in and out.
15:46Get onto the local cop shop in Wollombay and get them to redirect that search, okay?
15:49What search?
15:50Uh, Amanda did a runner earlier today.
15:51She was under police surveillance.
15:53Why?
15:53Yeah.
15:53Well, we have good reason to believe that she may have murdered Josh West.
15:56All right, look, I can't go into the details right now, but at the moment she's our prime
15:59suspect.
16:00Detective, I just found out that Amanda Walters charted a plane from Wollombay airfield for
16:04this afternoon.
16:05Okay, get onto Wollombay and get them to get a car out to the airfield straight away.
16:09Dan, we'll find Ryan, okay?
16:10Don't worry.
16:12Dan.
16:13Look, there's some other things about Amanda, I should probably tell you.
16:18Why do we have to leave Nan so quickly?
16:20I told you, we're going on a holiday.
16:22Why didn't we say goodbye?
16:24Look, it's all right, Nana knows what's going on.
16:26Don't you want to go on the plane?
16:28Is Dad coming too?
16:29No, he's busy, he can't make it.
16:31I don't want to go without Dad.
16:33Look, I promise we're going to have a great time.
16:35It'll be just like when we came back from America.
16:38I promise.
16:58Come on, sweetie.
16:59Out she gets.
17:03Is this our plane?
17:04Sorry, sweetie.
17:06Quick, quick, quick.
17:11It's nothing, sweetie.
17:12It's all right.
17:13Amanda Wallace, we'll warrant for your arrest.
17:18Hands up on, please.
17:20Is this really necessary?
17:21This is my son.
17:22Lift handers.
17:36Okay, interview commences at 14...
17:38You shouldn't be doing this.
17:39We know each other.
17:40We used to be related.
17:41You shouldn't be doing this interview.
17:43Do you want me to get the other detective back?
17:44We can wait.
17:50Interview commences at 14.45.
17:54Mrs. Walters, why did you charter a plane out of Australia today?
17:58I needed to get away.
18:00It's true.
18:01I'm just tired of the harassment.
18:03And I didn't want my son to go through it either.
18:07Do you recognise this?
18:11Come on, Amanda.
18:12It was found in your garbage.
18:14That's got Josh West's blood on it, hasn't it?
18:16Just like it's your fingerprints on the door.
18:17Dan's told us everything.
18:19The threats made by Josh, the bricks through the window, the fire, the near hit and run.
18:23No, he's mistaken.
18:23For God's sake, stop lying and tell us what really happened.
18:27Okay, did Josh make another threat to you that night?
18:30Did you pull the trigger in self-defence?
18:33Amanda, you were there.
18:34We have the proof.
18:41All right, I was there.
18:43But I didn't kill him.
18:45Okay, let's start at the beginning.
18:46Tell us everything that you remember from the time that you left your home that night.
18:53I was going to see Ryan.
18:55That's the truth.
18:56I wasn't going to the council office.
18:59But in the car, all I could think about was Josh.
19:02The threats that he'd made, everything that he'd put me through.
19:05I was sick of it.
19:07So I decided to turn the car around and confront him.
19:11What happened when you arrived at the council chambers?
19:15I knocked on the door and there was no answer.
19:18So I went in.
19:21That's when I saw him lying on the floor.
19:24I went out of bed to have a look at him and that's when I realised that he'd been shot.
19:29I must have got blood on my shoe and my hand.
19:32Then what happened?
19:34I don't know.
19:35I must have panicked.
19:38Well, there was nothing I could do.
19:39So I just rushed out.
19:43I must have touched the door on the way out.
19:47Why didn't you tell us any of this earlier?
19:48How could I?
19:50I knew I'd be a suspect, especially when you found out about the money.
19:53But Amanda, surely if you were innocent then it would have made more sense to come forward.
19:56I mean, especially considering you left so much incriminating evidence behind.
19:59I didn't know I had until this morning.
20:03When I saw the blood on my shoes, I tried to shove them in the garbage bag at home.
20:08That's what I was doing when we came around.
20:11How do you explain this then?
20:13What is it?
20:14It's a magazine we found in your garbage.
20:17It's got letters cut out of it.
20:19The same letters that we found on the death threat that was sent to Mr West.
20:22You cut the letters out and sent them to Josh West, didn't you?
20:24No.
20:24Then why did you turn back to visit him that night?
20:26I just told you.
20:27You said you went back to confront him, but you really decided to kill him, didn't you?
20:30No.
20:33Whoever made that note has obviously dumped this in my garbage.
20:36Don't you see?
20:37They're trying to free me.
20:39Amanda Walters, I'm charging you with the murder of Josh West.
20:42No.
20:42You're not obliged to say anything.
20:43No, but I didn't do it.
20:44Anything you do say will maybe take down evidence.
20:57I didn't kill Josh.
20:59Her fingerprints at the crime scene, the victim's blood on her shoes.
21:04I swear to you on Ryan's life, on our own son's life, I did not do this.
21:09She's a liar, a manipulator, and a witch.
21:12But is she a murderer?
21:14I need your help to prove that I'm innocent.
21:16Home and Away, tomorrow at 7.
