00:01This image was pulled from a surveillance tape that was found discarded in a skip outside the diner.
00:06It proves that you were at the council office on the night of Josh West's murder
00:10and not as you claimed in your statement to be at home watching a DVD with Robbie.
00:16I know it was a stupid thing to do. I shouldn't have done it.
00:21I didn't kill him. I didn't. When I left that office he was still alive.
00:28I can't do this anymore. I can't do it. All this lying. It's just, I'm going to have a shower.
00:33I'm going to clean myself up. I'm going to go to the police station and tell exactly what's happening.
00:36No, you're not going to do that, Tash. No, I'm sorry, Rob. I've got to do this. I can't.
00:43What's up? Tash didn't kill Josh. Oh, Robbie, I've heard this story.
00:45Yeah, but she didn't do it. I'm telling the truth. I did it.
00:51I killed Josh West.
00:56You know we belong together. You and I forever and ever.
01:03No matter where you are. You're my guiding star.
01:11You're my guiding star. Hold me in your arms. Don't let me go.
01:17I want to stay forever. Close I reach day.
01:24Home and away.
01:32Take your time, Robbie.
01:35Okay.
01:37When I came in, Josh was at his desk reading.
01:41What did you say to him when you entered the room?
01:43I told him I wanted to talk to him about Tash.
01:46He really upset her when she came to see him early that night and I wasn't going to stand for
01:49it after everything he'd done.
01:52So I had a go at him.
01:53About the fact he knew what dodgy things were going on at the farm.
01:56About the bribes he made me to live. About everything that lowlife had done.
02:01What happened next?
02:02He laughed in my face.
02:04So I just went for him. He tried to push me away but I wasn't going anywhere.
02:09And then he managed to break free and went for his gun.
02:11So where did he get the gun from?
02:14It was on his desk.
02:18So he pointed the gun at you?
02:20Yeah.
02:21I couldn't handle it, especially after everything he'd done.
02:25To see him have that power over me like that, I just lost it so I went for him again.
02:29And we kind of wrestled for a bit and the gun fell out of his hand and we both went
02:34for it.
02:35But I managed to get there first.
02:37You overpowered him.
02:39I don't know how I got the gun, I just did.
02:41Okay, so now you've got the gun.
02:43Yeah, and then he came at me again.
02:46So I pointed the gun at him.
02:49And I pulled the trigger.
02:52I shot him.
02:53Where did his body end up?
02:56Over there.
02:57Okay, just explain to me where the gun went off.
02:59Where were you standing and where was he?
03:01Well, I was here I think and Josh came at me from that direction.
03:07So you had a scuffle here and his body fell there?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Well, he kind of bent over a bit, stumbled and landed here.
03:18Okay, do you want to tell me where the gun is now, Robin?
03:22Well, after it happened I...
03:24I got the gun and I threw it in the water near the marina.
03:27Is there anything else you want to tell us?
03:29No.
03:31No, that's it.
03:35Robbie, we're going to have to take you down to the station.
03:37We're going to be formally charged with the murder of Josh West.
03:56Okay, thanks for letting us know.
04:04The police drivers have arrived at the marina.
04:07Good.
04:07Let's hope they find the gun.
04:09Shouldn't we have waited until they found the gun before we pressed charges?
04:12What happens if Robbie's prints aren't on it?
04:14We have a confession, Jack.
04:16Yeah, but are you absolutely convinced that a story checks out?
04:19You're obviously not.
04:20I just don't think that he'd be capable of something like this.
04:23Okay, look, I hate the thought as much as you do,
04:25but one thing I have learned is that anyone is capable if they have the right motivation.
04:28Okay, so he was angry with Josh.
04:30Is that enough motive to kill him?
04:31He admitted it.
04:33And his story checks out completely.
04:35He knew exactly where Josh Westbody was.
04:37It wouldn't mean harder.
04:38I mean, there was blood on the floor, and he did stumble over some of the details.
04:42When someone confesses to a murder, Jack, they're always going to be a bit on edge.
04:45It's not going to come out smoothly.
04:47Look, I know he's a mate, but you're going to have to deal with this.
04:49No, it's more than that.
04:50I just reckon...
04:51I don't know.
04:51It's just...
04:52It's too easy.
04:54And why come forward about it now?
04:55Because he knew that I didn't believe his little DVD story with him and Tasha for a second.
04:59He knew it was just a matter of time.
05:01No, there's more to this.
05:02I know there is.
05:07Where is he?
05:09Oh, love, I don't know.
05:10He's probably gone for a walk in the fresh air.
05:12I mean, after the day you two have had, I'd say it's exactly what the doctor ordered.
05:15I know.
05:16It's just he shouldn't be so long.
05:18Tash, love, you have got to stop stressing like this.
05:21It's not doing you or the baby any good, darling.
05:24No, I know.
05:24I just...
05:25I wanted to talk to him.
05:26You can take his phone with him.
05:27Hi.
05:28Hi, love.
05:28Come on in.
05:29Here I am.
05:29We just thought we'd drop by and see how the mum-to-be is.
05:32Uh, can I grab you a coffee?
05:33Yeah, that'd be great.
05:34Thanks.
05:34How are you feeling?
05:35Oh, I'm okay.
05:36Is Robbie back?
05:37No.
05:38He's not.
05:39I'll get...
05:41Hello?
05:43Jack, what now?
05:47Oh, Jack?
05:49There's gotta be a mistake.
05:50I'm sorry, there isn't.
05:52Robbie came in an hour ago and confessed.
05:53Oh, come on.
05:54Robbie wouldn't hurt a friend.
05:55Where is he?
05:56He's in the interviewer.
05:56I need to speak to him.
05:57I need to speak to him.
05:58No, I'm sorry, you can't.
05:59You just all need to stay calm, please.
06:01My son has just confessed to murdering someone.
06:03I want to see him.
06:04I'm sorry.
06:05I'm under orders that he'd be left alone.
06:06Oh, come on, Jack.
06:07She wants to see her son.
06:08Can't you just bend the rules, mate?
06:09Please, it'll only be for a few minutes.
06:11No, I can't.
06:12Look, Robbie is not some criminal.
06:13He's one of your mates.
06:15And we're your family.
06:21Just a few minutes, alright?
06:26Robbie, what on earth is this about?
06:28I'm sorry.
06:31But you didn't do it.
06:32I did, Mum.
06:32I killed him.
06:37But why?
06:38It doesn't make any sense.
06:40I went to Josh's office to have a go at him.
06:42He had a gun.
06:43We got into a struggle.
06:45And I shot him.
06:49No.
06:49Yes.
06:50No, you can't.
06:51You can't.
06:53Peter just phoned.
06:53He's on his way back.
06:54I need you guys to wrap it up.
06:55Roy, I want you to tell me the truth.
06:57I'm sorry, Mum.
06:58Beth.
06:59This is the truth.
06:59Please.
07:01Don't worry about me.
07:03I'll be fine.
07:04Me and Robbie just have a minute alone.
07:07Okay, make it quick.
07:13This is crazy.
07:15I couldn't let you do it, Tash.
07:16I love you too much.
07:17And I love you too much to let you do this.
07:19We have been over this.
07:20You can't have a baby in jail.
07:21This is the best for everyone.
07:22Robbie, you're going to be punished for something you didn't even do.
07:24What other choice do we have?
07:26What choice does the baby have?
07:28Okay.
07:29Now, trust me, Tash.
07:30This is the only way.
07:32You've got to promise me that you will go along with this, okay?
07:36I don't know if I can.
07:37Please, Tash.
07:38Promise me.
07:43There has to be another explanation.
07:44Rob is not a murderer.
07:46Okay, okay, okay.
07:47You'll sort this out, right?
07:49Jack, mate, can you give us something?
07:52No, sorry.
07:52This is madness.
07:54What happens next time?
07:54He'll have a trial hearing tomorrow.
07:57Did he say something else about it?
07:59Oh, sweetheart.
08:01You're right, mate.
08:01We're right here, okay?
08:22I tried calling Tash before, but she must have turned her phone off.
08:25Yeah, she wasn't saying much to the station.
08:27Miss Beth was up in her arms about it.
08:28Yeah, well, I can't imagine any mother taking that news very well.
08:31She just kept saying she couldn't believe that Robby was capable of something like that.
08:35What do you think about that?
08:36Peter seems to think that confession is the real deal.
08:39But you don't?
08:40Well, it's just the way Rob and Tash are acting around each other.
08:43It was as though they had some sort of pact going on.
08:45As if Robby was protecting Tash or something.
08:49What are you saying you think Tash killed Josh?
08:51I don't know.
08:52I mean, it's not like Tash had any reason to want Josh dead.
08:57What's wrong?
08:58Nothing.
08:59I just think the idea of Tash killing someone is as crazy as the idea of Robby doing it.
09:09Hi, love.
09:10Come on in.
09:10I suppose you've heard.
09:12Yeah, I just want to see how she's doing.
09:14I'll leave you to it, darling.
09:19Hey.
09:20Hey.
09:21How do you feel?
09:24I just feel numb.
09:30What's the matter?
09:34Jack came around before and he was talking about you.
09:39What did he say?
09:41He was trying to figure out whether you'd have a reason for wanting Josh dead.
09:50What did you tell him?
09:52Don't worry, I didn't mention Jonah.
09:54But he thinks that Robby's trying to cover for you.
09:59Yeah.
09:59Is it true, Tash?
10:03Hey, come on.
10:03You know you can tell me anything.
10:08Yeah, it's true.
10:11Robbie didn't kill Josh, I did.
10:28Yeah, so anyway, I was ready to go and go and tell the police everything and then Robby
10:34kept saying that jail is no place for me or for the baby.
10:38So he went and confessed instead?
10:41Yeah, he just, he just left the house and then, I mean, I didn't know where he'd gone.
10:45And then we got a call from the cops and then, I didn't know he was going to go and
10:51confess
10:52himself.
10:52Tash, I'm so sorry.
10:57How do I let him just take the blame?
11:00You know what, he's right though.
11:01Jail is no place for a baby.
11:03No, mate, he's innocent though.
11:05He doesn't deserve to go to jail for something he didn't do.
11:11Yeah.
11:11Hey.
11:13Hey.
11:13I wish you were working back late tonight.
11:15I dropped in to see Martha and went for a walk just to clear my head.
11:20Listen, mate, about today, Jack, I'm sorry I didn't mean to put pressure on you down the
11:26station there.
11:26It's just, you know, Beth was distraught and I just didn't know what-
11:29Dad, it's cool, okay.
11:30No one ever knows what's doing in a situation like that.
11:33How's Beth anyway?
11:35She's as well as can be expected, I suppose.
11:37Tell her I'm going to do everything I can for Robbie.
11:39Oh, Jack, she knows that.
11:40Of course you will.
11:41So, you all ready for the big move?
11:44Yep.
11:45It's only a matter of days now, innit?
11:47Mate, do you really think you're going to be okay here by yourself?
11:49I think I manage, yeah.
11:51Well, you didn't take long to organise a party, did you?
11:53Oh, it's Martha's birthday bash.
11:55You guys going to come?
11:56We'll see.
11:58To be honest, I'm not sure we're going to be in the mood for celebrating, you know.
12:00No.
12:01Anyway.
12:02Mate, I might go to bed.
12:05I'm not far behind you.
12:06Okay.
12:06No.
12:07Take it easy.
12:08Yeah.
12:10Hey, how's Tash?
12:11Not great.
12:13You gone a while?
12:14Yeah, she needed something to cry.
12:17About what I was saying before, you'd tell me if you knew something, wouldn't you,
12:21about Robbie and Tash or anything at all?
12:23Of course I would.
12:24Well, it's just, if Robbie's innocent...
12:26Jack, what makes you think I know something?
12:28Because every time I mention Tash, you go kind of quiet.
12:31She's my best friend, she's pregnant and her husband's going to jail.
12:34How do you expect me to react?
12:41And I want to say tonight Oh, I've been missing you, I've been missing you tonight
13:10I'm not getting distracted from what I'm really doing back in the bay.
13:12It's just taking longer than I anticipated, that's all.
13:15Look, I'll take care of it, alright?
13:19What?
13:21I thought you might want to know that the diver still haven't found a gun.
13:24Well, keep them out there for as long as you can, alright?
13:26Robbie's bail hearing's in half an hour, are you coming?
13:29Yeah, but before we take him, I was wondering if I could have a chat to him alone for five
13:33minutes.
13:33Why?
13:34Just a few things I'd like to clarify.
13:36Well, like what?
13:36He's made his statement.
13:37Something's not right about it, something he's not telling us.
13:40It was just a gut feeling at first, but...
13:41Your gut feeling's not evidence, Jack, he's confessed.
13:44But you didn't see the way that Robbie and Tash were acting around each other yesterday.
13:47They've lied to protect each other before, what's to say they wouldn't do it again?
13:51Five minutes till I'm asking.
13:52Fine, then we're leaving.
13:56How many more times do I have to go over it?
13:58I want the truth this time, no more stories.
14:01I have told you the truth, I killed Josh, plain and simple.
14:04Rob, I don't buy it, I know you better than that.
14:06No, you think you know me.
14:08Look, if you're trying to protect Tash, this isn't the way to do it.
14:12She has got nothing to do with this.
14:14You don't have to lie to me.
14:15We can work through this together.
14:17Well, there is nothing to work out.
14:18I know what I'm doing, so just leave it.
14:20I know you're trying to be noble, but this is for real.
14:23What do you want me to say, Jack?
14:24I want you to stop lying to me.
14:26I'm not lying to you.
14:27I've told you the truth, so fuck off.
14:29Why now, Rob?
14:30Why confess now instead of when we question you?
14:32Because I thought I was going to get away with it.
14:33No, you thought Tasha was going to get away with it.
14:36What if Martha was pregnant?
14:39What would you do?
14:40Would you let her ride in jail?
14:42Is everything alright in here?
14:44Everything's fine.
14:46I'm ready to go.
14:47Let's get moving then.
14:53So, Morag's going to meet us there?
14:55Yes.
14:56Well, what did she say Robbie's chances were of getting bail?
15:01Hey, it's going to be alright.
15:02No, it's not going to be alright.
15:04My son's going to go to jail.
15:05Come on, love, no.
15:07Look, we've got to take things one step at a time.
15:11Tash!
15:12Tash!
15:19If you are granted bail, you'll be required...
15:23What are you doing here?
15:24I can't do this anymore.
15:25Go home, okay?
15:26I've been around this so many times in my head.
15:29Please, Tash, don't do this.
15:30I'll talk to you after my bail hearing, okay?
15:32I can't.
15:32Think about what you're doing.
15:34You're not helping anyone at least for the baby,
15:35so please just go home and calm down.
15:37Tasha, if there is something more about this case that you know,
15:39then now is the time to say something.
15:41Tash.
15:41Robbie didn't kill Josh.
15:43Tash.
15:43I killed him.
15:54So everything that I told you yesterday was true
15:56up until the part where I said I left.
15:58Okay, and what really happened after that?
16:00And I'm warning you, Tasha, please, tell us the truth this time.
16:04Well, we talked for a couple of minutes
16:06and then things started to get heated
16:09and then he went for a gun that was on his desk.
16:13And I went for it as well
16:14and then we sort of struggled for it for a bit,
16:16but I got it first.
16:17Tasha, come on.
16:18This is all starting to sound very familiar.
16:19This is true.
16:21Robbie just used what I said because it would sound believable.
16:24What did Josh do then?
16:27Well, he tried to tell me to calm down, but I had the gun in my hand and I was
16:31shaking it.
16:33And he tried to tell me to put the gun down, but I couldn't.
16:38And then...
16:41And then, um...
16:44He kept coming closer to me and then I told him to stay away and he wouldn't...
16:49He wouldn't listen to me and that's when he lunged at me.
16:53And I just panicked and I just shot the gun.
17:02And, um, he fell to the floor and I just turned and I ran.
17:08And that's what you saw on the security tape.
17:12So you went home and told Robbie straight away?
17:14Yes, that's right.
17:15Let Tasha answer the questions, please.
17:18I told Robbie everything and he went back to the office.
17:24Okay.
17:27So what did you do there?
17:30I found the gun in the hallway, so I got rid of it.
17:35You don't have anything else to tell us, Tasha?
17:37I don't think so.
17:40Robert?
17:42Well, everything she told you, she told me.
17:46Okay, so we're finally dealing with a truthful version of events, right?
17:49Does that mean that you can release him now?
17:51No.
17:52He's still involved.
17:53Covering up a crime like this makes him in a compass.
17:55But he didn't do anything wrong.
17:57He was just trying to help me.
17:58It's all right.
18:03The dive squad have located the gun.
18:05Okay.
18:07Excuse me.
18:16Where's the gun?
18:21What?
18:23What?
18:23What's the matter?
18:27Is that the gun that you used?
18:28Yes, that was the one that was on Josh's desk.
18:31Are you sure?
18:32I'm positive.
18:34What's wrong?
18:36Forensics said that they got a 9mm from Mr. West.
18:39It's a .40 caliber.
18:41He can't shoot a 9mm bullet.
18:43Tash, I need you to think very, very carefully, okay?
18:46Now Josh grabbed the gun off his desk.
18:48Then he came at you.
18:49There was a struggle.
18:50You got hold of the weapon.
18:51What happened next?
18:52Well, it's like I said before, I shot the gun and he fell.
18:56And I ran out.
18:57Okay.
18:58And then when you came in afterwards, what exactly did you see?
19:00Um, well, after I picked up the gun in the hallway, I found Josh on the floor near his desk.
19:05Whereabouts near his desk?
19:10He was in front of him.
19:11Hang on.
19:12When I shot the gun, he was standing in front of the window, but he fell back behind the desk.
19:16Behind the desk? Are you absolutely sure?
19:18It's not something I'm going to forget.
19:20Tash, did you actually see Josh get shot?
19:22Well, I had my eyes closed when I shot the gun.
19:24So you didn't see any wound or any blood?
19:27Well, no, I just ran straight out.
19:29What does all this mean?
19:30Tash, I don't think that you killed Mr. West after all.
19:44Okay, I need you to tell me exactly where you were standing when you fired the gun.
19:50He was here.
19:52And Mr. West?
19:55Um, he was here.
19:58Okay, so when you heard him hit the ground, you said that his legs were sticking out over here.
20:04Yep.
20:05And you claim that you found his body in front of the desk.
20:09That's right.
20:10Which means the killer must have murdered Josh in the brief amount of time between Tash leaving and you arriving.
20:15We found something out there.
20:16What is it?
20:17A bullet lodged in a tree just outside the window.
20:20Okay, get it to forensics, see if it matches the pistol.
20:22So I missed. The bullet went out the window.
20:24Well, we won't know until we get the results back, but I'm pretty sure that's your bullet, yeah.
20:29Extremely lucky, Tash.
20:30Yeah, believe me, you don't have to tell us.
20:33Which means that the real killer's still out there.
20:53Could they have found a clue that will lead them closer to the killer?
20:56Do you think it's possible she hired him to take Wes down?
20:59What is she hiding?
21:01Plus, the kiss that may throw her into the arms of another man.
21:05Gorgeous and an amazing cook.
21:07Deadly combination.
21:08Like to grab dinner sometime?
21:09Home and away tomorrow at seven.
21:12Home and away tomorrow at seven.
21:12To be continued.
