00:03Listen to me. I'll do anything to protect my son.
00:10Just leave it with me.
00:12What does that mean? If the cops find out, I'm dead.
00:13Trust me, they won't find out.
00:15So what are you saying now? You want to break up?
00:17Do you want to keep doing this?
00:19No.
00:20Well, one of us has to make a decision.
00:22So we break up.
00:23Unless you can honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you trust me.
00:29Fine.
00:35Bag it up.
00:36I bet the missing letters match the death threat that was sent to Mr West.
00:40Don't you see? They're trying to free me.
00:42Amanda Walters, I'm charging you with the murder of Josh West.
00:45No.
00:45You're not obliged to say anything.
00:46No, but I didn't do it!
00:47I didn't kill Josh!
00:49That's the evidence.
00:52You 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.
01:19Closer each day.
01:22Home and away.
01:28I need you to follow this up ASAP.
01:30Thanks.
01:32Where's Ryan?
01:33One of you guys is distracting you with a two-way radio lesson, sir.
01:36We've formally charged Amanda.
01:39Okay, we've got a very strong case against her motive, means and opportunity.
01:42I can't believe this.
01:42Well, I've learnt not to rule out anything in this business, mate.
01:45I've got to break it to Ryan.
01:48Dan?
01:49Dan?
01:50I didn't do this.
01:51Please tell them.
01:52I didn't do this.
01:53Mrs Walters.
01:53No, Dan, I didn't do it.
01:55Mrs Walters.
01:55You have to tell them.
01:56Please tell them I didn't do this, Dan.
01:58I would never do something like this.
02:04I still can't believe it, you know.
02:07I mean, Robbie is not that kind of person.
02:10How can they justify, excuse me, putting him through the third degree like that?
02:15I mean, okay, so he had a go at Josh, but you can hardly blame him for that, can you?
02:19After everything Josh did the end.
02:25Look, what is going on in that scone of yours?
02:30Lauren, if you knew something about someone that could maybe incriminate them, would you tell anyone?
02:36Look, where's this leading?
02:39Are you talking about the murder?
02:41No.
02:42It doesn't matter, it's nothing.
02:43No, no, no, come on.
02:44If it's bothering you, you've got to get it off your chest.
02:46It's fine, really, it's fine.
02:50Claire, sorry, can you take Ryan for a couple of hours?
02:52What, what for?
02:53Amanda's just been charged with Josh's murder.
02:55Are you kidding?
02:56Well, that's what I said.
02:57I knew it, I knew it was her.
02:59Why did she do it?
03:00Well, I don't know the ins and outs, but Pete seems pretty certain, so can you look after him?
03:03Uh, yeah, yeah, just don't have to drop him off at stills.
03:05Vijay's there, so I'll just pick Dwight up later.
03:07All right, thanks, sorry, it's just a bit of relief.
03:08No, it's fine, it's fine.
03:09It's fine.
03:10Sorry, does this mean that Rob's off the hook?
03:13I don't know, yeah, I suppose.
03:14Oh, yes, yes.
03:15Thanks again.
03:16Sorry, sorry.
03:18What's with everyone today?
03:19Haven't you heard?
03:20Amanda's just been nailed with Josh's murder.
03:25Rick?
03:27Rick?
03:27Yeah, I'm out here.
03:33It's done.
03:36No worries.
03:37I can go to you anyway for helping me when I came to town.
03:42So is Little Miss Scrag home?
03:45Obviously not, and don't you call her that.
03:46Hey, you should have heard her when she came over before.
03:49That girl's got serious issues.
03:51Can we not go over this again?
03:52Hey, she came to my house and attacked me.
03:54Well, because for some reason I am responsible for everything that's wrong in your relationship.
03:58Right, well, it's not going to be a problem anymore.
04:00What do you mean?
04:02We broke up.
04:10What's up? You feeling better now?
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:13A lot of people wanted Josh Scott.
04:14I'm just glad no friend of mine's gone to jail for it.
04:17Amen to that.
04:18Robbie especially.
04:19It's the last thing they need right now.
04:22Robbie and Tasha?
04:23What if they went home in police?
04:24Oh, well, yeah, they are. Now. I mean, they've just been such a rough trot. I mean, you know, with
04:31the cops arresting them on top of everything else.
04:36Saying it out loud makes it so real.
04:38You guys have broken up before though. It doesn't mean you can't get back together.
04:42There wasn't anyone else involved last time.
04:44Yeah, and there's no one else involved this time.
04:46Rick is not seeing Belle Cass. He wouldn't do that to you.
04:49It doesn't really matter now anyway.
04:51If you could be sure that he wasn't cheating.
04:53He's not cheating.
04:55Okay, I'm just saying that if she had total proof of that, would you get back together with him?
05:02Probably not.
05:04Well, because that had nothing to do with it.
05:06The fact is we don't trust each other.
05:08So it's better this way.
05:10Otherwise we'll just go through the same thing again in six months time.
05:13Come on, you're reinventing history now.
05:15You and Rick were both completely fine.
05:19Until...
05:21Until what?
05:22Well, you and Rick have kind of grown apart since Flynn died.
05:27Which is fine.
05:28It's normal.
05:29We're not saying that it isn't.
05:30No, it's okay.
05:32I mean, it's true.
05:35After Flynn went, that's when I really needed Rick the most.
05:39You know, and that's when he wasn't there.
05:42I tried to be there for him, I did.
05:44But he just kept pushing me away.
05:47I don't understand why.
05:52But it kind of says it all, doesn't it?
05:55When we needed each other the most.
05:57It just didn't happen.
06:12You're better off with that.
06:13I mean, the way that she goes at you all the time.
06:15Girl, just stop being rude about her.
06:16Yeah, but it's her fault that you're breaking up.
06:18I mean, if she wasn't such a nag, you wouldn't have had to do a dump her.
06:20Belle.
06:21Look, I'm just saying that if you're my boyfriend, I'd never treat you like that.
06:25Don't get any ideas, all right?
06:26This means nothing for us.
06:27We're just friends.
06:28Please get over yourself.
06:29You wish you had a chance with me.
06:34Oh, you didn't waste any time.
06:36Casper talking.
06:37Don't bother.
06:38She's not going to listen.
06:38Shut up.
06:39No one's asking you.
06:40I'll just stay out of it.
06:41Why should I?
06:42Would you keep us dragging me into it?
06:43You just love a drama, don't you?
06:47If you don't get out of here right now, I will show you a drama.
06:51Rick invited me.
06:52I'm staying.
06:53No, you're not.
06:54Just go, Tracy.
06:55Go, Tracy.
06:56Get behind me!
06:57Hey!
06:58Get out!
06:59I said get out!
07:01Get out!
07:02Get stuck!
07:03Belle, you wanna go?
07:04She started it!
07:05I'm finishing it!
07:05Go!
07:15What the hell's going on?
07:17I'm sorry for running.
07:19I was stupid.
07:20I know.
07:21I was just scared, you know.
07:22Oh, for God's sake, Amanda, you took our son.
07:24And aside from that, why would you do that to Josh?
07:27No, I...
07:28Dan, I didn't do it.
07:30Please believe that.
07:33Whatever's happened in the past, you know that I would never do something like this.
07:37This is just...
07:38It's horrible.
07:39Yeah, it is.
07:40Look, the evidence is stacked against you.
07:42There's his blood on your shoe and the fingerprints.
07:44Then there's the blackmail and the threats.
07:46Yeah, I know.
07:46And I wanted his money.
07:47I know.
07:48It's all true, but...
07:49So you did do it.
07:50No!
07:52Dan, that's the one thing they're wrong about.
07:56I swear to you on our son.
07:59Don't...
07:59Don't you dare to...
08:00I swear to you on Ryan's life, on our own son's life.
08:03I did not do this.
08:07Please, Dan.
08:08I need your help to prove that I'm innocent.
08:19Now, I'm telling you, she swore on Ryan's life.
08:21She wouldn't have done that unless she's telling the truth.
08:23Come on, mate. Grow up.
08:24Yeah, okay. I know.
08:25Peter, she wouldn't have done it.
08:27What, so I'm supposed to go to the district commander and say,
08:30oh, she mustn't have done it because she swore on her son's life?
08:32Okay, look.
08:33Years ago, when we first had Ryan, we had a...
08:35Okay, look.
08:36There was a situation, and I swore on Ryan's life that I'd never do something again.
08:39And she went berserk.
08:39She attacked me because swearing on a child's life is...
08:43Look, she's superstitious like that.
08:44What, so I'm supposed to let her go on the grounds of superstition?
08:47No, but you're supposed to remember she's innocent until proven guilty.
08:49Don't tell me how to do my job.
08:50Do it properly.
08:51I can't believe you're letting her suck you in again like this.
08:53You'll never guess what we found.
08:55What is it?
08:55Amanda Walter's story about skipping town at the time of the murder is true.
08:59She ran a red light.
09:00Which means she was an hour and a half away at the time of the murder, just like she said.
09:10I told you I didn't do it. You should have believed me.
09:13Okay, there is one more thing I'd like to know.
09:16Those cut-up magazines that we found in your bin, will you admit now that you sent the death threat?
09:20No, because I didn't do it.
09:22Like I said, I have no idea how that ended up in my bin.
09:25Okay, well that night that you went to the office, was there anything that you saw that was out of
09:28the ordinary or anything suspicious?
09:31Not that I can think of.
09:33Okay, well if you do think of anything, please let me know.
09:35Oh, I'll be sure to do that. Detective.
09:45The worst part is not knowing how long it's been going on.
09:48That's if there is anything going on, Cass.
09:51Maddie, less than an hour after we break up, she's at home in our kitchen.
09:54It's not hard to join the dots.
09:56It was pretty tough.
09:58Ugh, here we go.
10:00You can hate me if you want to, but you've really only got yourself to blame.
10:03When you're bored into death with your whinging and your nagging and your cats...
10:06Why don't you try getting out of her face and getting a laugh?
10:08Ooh, Barbie's been in the red cordial again.
10:10Yes, very witty. Do tell me when to laugh.
10:13As fun as this has been, girls, Mick and I have got plenty to do together.
10:17See ya.
10:17Dream on.
10:18Come on, let's go.
10:19No.
10:21You know what?
10:22You want him that much, you can have him. I don't care anymore.
10:25Go for your life.
10:35Mate, it's got nothing to do with Belle.
10:37What happened?
10:38Because you and Cass used to be so good together.
10:42Ever since Flynn died, something changed.
10:44You know?
10:45I mean, we tried really hard to get things back in track.
10:47It just didn't work.
10:49So you started hanging around with Belle.
10:51Yeah, but I didn't cheat. I wouldn't do that to her.
10:53And it's not too late to fix it.
10:55Rick, you guys obviously still care about each other, so why can't you just fix this?
11:00Why can't you work it out?
11:03Maybe you should stay away from Belle.
11:08I wish things could be back the way they used to as well, but it's just not happening.
11:14You know, whatever there was between me and Cass, it's just...
11:18It's gone.
11:23It's not much to come home to, is it?
11:25Forget about it.
11:26We've got more important things to talk about.
11:29Dan, I'm exhausted.
11:31I'm...
11:32My brain's not even functioning.
11:34Good.
11:34You won't have the energy to lie to me.
11:37Ever since you arrived in the bay, it has been secrets and lies and guessing games.
11:40Well, I'm pretty sick of it, I'm sure you are too.
11:43So we're going to go from the start and you're going to tell me everything.
11:46Now, come on, everything.
11:47Josh West, Project 56, the lot.
11:52Well, if it's not Amanda, then who the flippin' heck is it?
11:55Well, that's yet to be determined. The investigation's ongoing.
11:58What does that mean?
11:59Well, it means that we're going to have to go back through our initial list of suspects and go through
12:02it again.
12:02Oh, Peter, please tell me that this doesn't mean you're going to start harassing Robbie again.
12:07Look, we have to do whatever's necessary to find the person who's...
12:13It's not easy being this popular.
12:15I don't know anything about it.
12:21Leah, judging by your body language, there is something that you're not saying.
12:25I just said I don't know anything about it.
12:28Please, if there's any information that you might have that's going to help this investigation,
12:31then you've got to come out with it.
12:35It's no big deal. In fact, it's probably irrelevant.
12:38Leah, please.
12:43And you told us you were doing well in LA.
12:46Have you ever heard an actor say that they're not doing well or no-one wants them?
12:51So you were broke, Anne?
12:53No, I wasn't just broke. I was in huge debt.
12:59The film that I'd poured millions of dollars into was a complete bomb.
13:03I had nothing. I couldn't even afford a fair home.
13:07So I had this little idea that I'd start a fire in my kitchen.
13:13Yeah, I know, it's calmer.
13:16But the plan was to use the insurance money to get me back on my feet.
13:20So anyway, I stuffed up one of my PowerPoints in the kitchen and I went out.
13:25I didn't even know if it was going to work or not.
13:28But when I got back, the fire had taken out some of the luxury apartments upstairs as well.
13:34I just expected this tiny little puff of smoke out my window, you know?
13:39But typical of everything that I do, it completely went too far.
13:45Anyway, I knew that there was this Australian guy who lived in the building because he'd tried to crack onto
13:50me.
13:51He was a total sleeve bag.
13:53Don't tell me Josh West.
13:54You got it.
13:56So the T guys met?
13:57Yeah. Only this time he wasn't very happy.
14:02He'd lost his luxury apartment and he wasn't insured.
14:05He told me that he knew that I'd committed arson and if I didn't give him my insurance payout,
14:10plus for paying for what he'd lost, then he'd go to the cops.
14:17Anyway, I didn't have a choice but to agree to his demands.
14:20I couldn't risk going to jail.
14:23So I started making payments.
14:26Then he found out that I had links to Summer Bay and he suggested that I move here.
14:31I didn't know why at first. I really didn't care.
14:34I just wanted to get away from him and...
14:38Well, you were here, so...
14:42Then a few weeks after that, he showed up here and...
14:45Well, we all know what happened after that.
14:49I don't want to see anyone.
14:50Don't worry, I'll get rid of him.
14:55Peter, whatever it is cannot wait. Amanda is exhausted.
14:58I'm not here to see her.
15:01Dan, I need you to come down to the station.
15:03You are wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of Josh West.
15:11This is ridiculous.
15:13We have a witness that says that you were heard threatening Josh West less than ten hours before he was
15:17murdered.
15:18Look, I told the guy to back off, that's all.
15:20Just know this, I'll do anything to protect my son, so I'd watch myself if I were you.
15:25That's what the statement says. Is that what you said?
15:27Sounds about right.
15:29What did you mean by that?
15:30It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
15:33By anything, did you mean I'll kick you in the backside or I'll get a gun and I'll shoot you?
15:38I can't believe you're doing this.
15:39Just answer the question, please.
15:42Of course it didn't mean I was going to go and buy a gun to shoot the guy detective.
15:47I wouldn't waste my life on that jerk.
15:49Not even to protect your son?
15:51Okay, listen, I was worried.
15:52I mean, Josh tried to hurt Ryan.
15:53I'm not going to sit back and watch that happen.
15:55You could have come to us.
15:56Yeah, or I could have gone and calmly warned him off, which is what I did.
15:59The witness says that your threat was violent in nature.
16:01It wasn't just some friendly little warning.
16:03Who is this witness you keep talking about?
16:04That is irrelevant.
16:05Well, not if it's someone who's trying to pin something on me.
16:07Okay, look, I spoke to Leah in the surf club car park after I warned him off.
16:11And we talked, it was calm and casual.
16:13I mean, she'll back it up.
16:14I wasn't acting like someone who was about to commit murder.
16:18Well, call her, check it out.
16:23You're kidding, it was Leah, wasn't it?
16:24This interview's over for this evening.
16:26So what, she ever heard me, Dan?
16:27She thinks that I killed Josh.
16:28You go straight home and don't do anything you regret, okay?
16:30Dan?
16:38Well, I just spoke to Peter.
16:40Why don't you come to me and ask me to my face?
16:42I mean, did you really think I would kill someone?
16:44Did you not know me at all?
16:45I didn't.
16:46I don't.
16:46I just had to tell him what I did.
16:47Do you know how humiliating it is to be interviewed by my brother
16:49because my wife has dogged me in.
16:51Dan, I'm sorry.
16:52I didn't want to tell him, but he dragged it out of me.
16:54Oh, is that the same as I didn't mean to kiss him?
16:55It just kind of happened.
16:56Hey, hey, what is going on here?
16:58Oh, Leah here's just accused me of murder.
17:00That's great.
17:00Dan, what are you accusing you of murder?
17:01No, you know, I don't give a step what you think anymore, Leah.
17:03If you can really suspect me of this even for a second,
17:06separating from you is the best decision I ever made.
17:08You're so vulnerable.
17:13You're so tough.
17:17You're so tough.
17:18See, it's gonna be easy.
17:22No, it's gonna get around.
17:25I didn't cheat on you with Bill.
17:28I believe you.
17:33Sorry she was there when you came home.
17:36It doesn't make any difference.
17:38We're breaking up.
17:39What you and Bill do is none of my business.
17:42Well, are we gonna be okay living together and stuff?
17:46Of course we will.
17:47It's not like it's the first time.
17:50Yeah, I know.
17:51It's just this time, it seems a bit.
17:54Different?
17:56It's okay, I know it's different.
17:57You're not the only one who's seen this coming.
18:00Really?
18:01I'm not blind.
18:04Yes, I've been trying not to think about it,
18:06but things have been messed up for a while.
18:10I didn't want to admit it,
18:12but I guess now we have to.
18:20I wish it didn't have to be like this.
18:25Me too.
18:47God, how can she even try to justify doing this?
18:50I mean, this is a total betrayal.
18:52No arguments here.
18:53Sometimes I look at my choice of relationships and I think,
18:55what have I done to deserve this?
18:57Sorry.
18:58Well, you're not really excluded from that.
19:00No, that's all right. I can take it.
19:01God, how could you think I could commit murder?
19:04You believed I could.
19:05Well, I'm just saying that I know how it feels and it's not good.
19:11Um, so, where to for you now?
19:14I mean, from what you're saying, you're only in the bay because of Josh and,
19:18well, now it's over.
19:20What are you going to do?
19:22I don't know.
19:24I haven't even really thought about it.
19:27It's just something so crazy.
19:30I guess there's not many people you'd miss.
19:33There's a couple.
19:35Well, don't be surprised.
19:36Of course I'd miss you.
19:38I mean, despite the last few months,
19:39it's been really good having you around.
19:42And Ryan, I'd miss you too.
19:44He's always happiest when we're both around.
19:47Well, right now, to be honest,
19:48I wouldn't like to lose you either.
19:58I should probably get going.
19:59Right.
20:01See ya.
20:02Yeah.
20:17Saying sorry doesn't cut it.
20:19You promised me he wouldn't find out it was me.
20:21Well, he must have guessed once he remembered speaking to you
20:22in the car park.
20:23I mean, I denied it, but he just knew.
20:25I never should have told you.
20:26You did what you had to, Leah.
20:28You don't really think you did it, do you?
20:31I don't know.
20:33What happens now?
20:34Well, the investigation continues.
20:36We have to find a weapon and who sent the death threat.
20:38You don't think it's the same person?
20:40Well, that's what my gut's telling me.
20:41And if I'm right, then we find out who wrote the note,
20:43we find out who put the magazines at Amanda's place,
20:45and we find the killer.
21:06I don't think you're gonna do it.
21:13Can you tell me I wouldn't do this?
21:15Who can I do this?
21:16Secret Rendezvous things.
21:18Their secret affair is getting steamy.
21:20But are they about to be found out?
21:22Home and away tomorrow.
