00:01So what happens now with Zoe?
00:03Now the others know that she's still out there.
00:05I don't know, I guess Tracy and I will have to completely rethink things.
00:08Well one good thing is that you've got more manpower behind you then.
00:11I suppose.
00:14But...
00:15I just hope that by the time Zoe comes back to the bay that we're ready for her.
00:31Well how about a party?
00:33Yeah, it'd be cool if we actually had some way to have it.
00:36Why not right here?
00:37Well this place closes early tonight so if Lukey boy can get his hands on stepmums keys then we can
00:42come here and have a bite.
00:43No, no, I'll never pull it off.
00:44Look, just go home and suck up for all you're worth, alright?
00:47Make them think you're a saint again.
00:50Hey, dinner was really good, thanks.
00:51Thank Beth, mate, she made it. It was great.
00:54No, my pleasure.
00:56Oh no, Dad, it's fine, I've got the going.
01:00Well, shall we?
01:02Oh, yes.
01:06Shots all round.
01:09This is so cool!
01:11You're amazing!
01:22What the hell is going on here?
01:27You know we belong together
01:32You and I forever and ever
01:36No matter where you are
01:40You're my guiding star
01:44Hold me in your arms
01:47Don't let me go
01:49I want to stay forever
01:53Closer each day
01:56Home and away
01:59Not only will I be speaking to your parents, but I expect to be paid in full for the drinks
02:03you've consumed and the damage you've done.
02:05Whatever.
02:05I'm serious, Hal. You're very lucky I'm not calling the police. Now get out of here. All of you!
02:11Oh no, not you. You're staying here.
02:13Want to listen to one of your lectures? No thanks.
02:15The only reason I'm not calling the police, Lucas, is because you're involved so I'd stop at the smart comments
02:20if I was you.
02:21Now, I want an explanation.
02:23What? No, this wasn't even my idea.
02:25Oh, right. So it was just an accident you stumbled in on, was it?
02:27Look, you let the others go. Why do I have to stay and listen to this bull?
02:30Look, if you can be honest about what you've done and you can stay here and help me clean up
02:35this mess, we have a small chance of getting things back on track. Don't blow it, mate.
02:39Isn't that your best shot at being a good mother? Because newsflash, Beth, it's doing nothing for me.
02:43For God's sake, Lucas, you stole my keys. You brought your mates in here to drink my profits and damage
02:48my property. All of which, I might add, puts food on your table.
02:51Okay, fine. I'll pay for it then.
02:53With what? Huh? What was that last night? You know, the change in attitude. Was that all just a ploy
03:00to, you know, get us off the scent, was it? And oh, you listening to my advice. Oh, what was
03:05that? Just a whole lot of rubbish as well?
03:06You know, as if I'd listen to anything you have to say. You don't get it, do you? I hate
03:10living with you and I just want you to get the hell out of my life.
03:12Lucas, you... Oh, call the cops. I don't really care.
03:15You can't just walk away from me!
03:42Maxine? Yes? Hi, I'm Darren. I'm here to look at your leaky tap.
03:46Of course. Come in. Thanks for coming so quickly.
03:50Let's get you an hour. I probably won't have time to fix it, but I'll have a quick look, then
03:54pop back to Savi.
03:59That'd be great. Problems in the kitchen.
04:01Okay.
04:07Yeah? You wanted to see me?
04:09Yeah, come in. Take a seat.
04:12As you probably know, headquarters have allowed me to officially continue on the McAllister case.
04:17Yeah, that'd be crazy not to. You know Zoe better than anyone.
04:19Well, yes, but that's not to say I didn't get a severe reprimand for trying to handle it by myself.
04:25The thing is, headquarters wants you involved too.
04:27Me?
04:29Yes.
04:30Up until a few days ago, the boss has been pretty happy with your work to date.
04:34So he recommended that you'd be the best officer to assist me.
04:37And you're okay with that?
04:38Here's the deal. If you're gonna work with me, I want your complete cooperation.
04:42Okay, but I also...
04:44And that means whatever I say goes. Can you manage that, Constable?
04:47I'm sure I can.
04:47Good. Then we understand each other.
04:50One more thing.
04:51I don't need to remind you how imperative it is that we keep Zoe's survival from the public.
04:55Absolutely.
04:56And I'll make sure Martha doesn't say anything either.
05:01Martha knows.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
05:05Look, I'm sorry, but I went to her as a sounding board before I went to McGraw.
05:09But she knows how important this is.
05:11She won't say anything. I promise.
05:13Well, you better be right, mate.
05:14Because if word about Zoe gets out, then all hell will break loose and you can be damn sure that
05:18she'll get away.
05:22You didn't have to go to all this trouble.
05:23I know.
05:24The boys and I are capable of doing our own shopping.
05:27I know that too, but whether you actually do it is another thing.
05:30So, how are you feeling?
05:32I'm pretty good.
05:33The scan went well.
05:34Oh, and?
05:35Well, they said the swelling's gone down even more.
05:38That's great.
05:39Yeah.
05:39Oh, they still got me on medication, though, just to keep things in check.
05:42But the doctor reckons I couldn't be doing any better.
05:45Well, that's such great news, Dan.
05:47I was thinking about going back to work, too, but, um...
05:50Well, don't you think it's a bit soon?
05:52Well, if the doctor says it's okay, I don't see why not.
05:55Besides, I probably should be there, you know.
05:57Kids would have heard about Barry, so they could probably be my support at the moment.
06:01Yeah, I suppose.
06:02Yeah, I just, um...
06:03I don't know, I want things to go back to normal.
06:06Just like the way that they were.
06:09Well, I'm here if you need me.
06:10Yeah, I know.
06:12Uh, sir, can you stay for a coffee?
06:15Oh, you should never ask.
06:19Self-destructive five, four, three, two, one.
06:25One last kiss and then goodbye.
06:29Cause I can't be here anymore.
06:37Self-destructive five, four, three, two, one.
06:40Self-destructive five, a crater at the door.
06:43A million tears in the rain.
06:45I never want to see the sun again.
06:49I'm gonna blow it sky high.
06:54I am never surfacing.
06:58Sleep beneath the waves again.
07:00I'm gonna blow it sky high.
07:05Oh, what a mess.
07:11I've already cleaned half of it up.
07:14I'm so sorry about this.
07:17It's not your fault.
07:19Obviously, Lucas and his scaly mates
07:21are going to pay for any damage they've done.
07:24And anything else that he's helped himself to.
07:27I'm more disappointed than anything.
07:29I thought we were making progress last night.
07:32Yeah, me too.
07:33Maybe we should have listened to Matty, eh?
07:36No, but I tell you what.
07:38This is the last time he's pulling the wool over our eyes.
07:40Where are you going?
07:41I've got a few things I want to say to my son.
07:44Oh, Tony, wait up.
07:48Tony!
07:49Tony, wait!
07:51Look, I have to do this, okay?
07:52Please take a minute to settle down and think about how best to handle it.
07:55I mean, we don't want things getting more out of control than they already are.
07:58I don't think that's actually possible.
08:01Oh, is that his shirt there?
08:03Oh, I think so.
08:04Yes!
08:05Look, go easy, okay?
08:07Eat it!
08:09Oh, he's probably seen us come and duck for cover.
08:13It would have been quicker for you to duck down to the diner and get a couple of takeaways.
08:17Quicker, but I would have had to have made it myself.
08:20No worries.
08:22Oh, are you okay?
08:24Oh, you're not...
08:25I'm just being a total klutz.
08:27Should be getting used to this.
08:29I managed to spill cereal down the front of me this morning.
08:31You guys thought that was hilarious.
08:34Oh, I should probably start wearing a bib, I think.
08:36Don't be so hard on yourself.
08:37The doctor said you're doing really well in rehab.
08:39And if you keep the physio up, you'll be back to normal in no time.
08:42Oh, I just wish it would happen a bit quicker.
08:44Here you go.
08:45Oh, there you go.
08:46It's okay.
08:47It'll happen.
08:48Just be patient.
08:49Look, why don't I ditch this instant stuff and I'll grab us some real coffees from the diner, yeah?
08:54All right.
08:55I'll see if I've got any clean shirts left.
08:57Won't be long.
08:58Thanks.
08:58You can have it.
09:12Yeah, I'm sure he's fine.
09:14I just wanted to check.
09:15Thanks, love.
09:16Bye.
09:18Oh, that was Matilda.
09:19Oh, Lucas hasn't made his way home yet.
09:21How'd you go?
09:21Well, I've checked the beach and I've checked the rocks and nothing.
09:25I think we need to get help.
09:27Yeah, so do I.
09:29I wish I hadn't got so angry with him.
09:31Hey, you had every right to get angrier.
09:32I should have made him wait until you got there.
09:34Beth, there's no way this is your fault.
09:36He's just had so much to drink.
09:37Hey, Alf.
09:38What?
09:38Don't tell me I got me day off wrong.
09:40I'll talk to you about the bar later.
09:41Well, what's up?
09:42Oh, it's my young bloke, mate, Lucas.
09:44I think he's gone missing in the water.
09:45We found his clothes down on the sand there and footprints going into the surf.
09:49We've looked the beach up and down.
09:50There's no sign of him.
09:51Well, he might have just swum around the point.
09:52He's been drinking.
09:54A lot.
09:54All the stupid dumb things.
09:56I don't know how many times I've told him.
09:57All right, mate.
09:57Don't jump the gun.
09:59I mean, he might be just lying out there trying to get rid of a hangover, eh?
10:01You two keep an eye on the beach.
10:02I'll go and get help.
10:16If you don't mind me saying, no amount of caffeine can replace a solid eight-hour sleep.
10:21Tell me about it.
10:22I've barely got 40 winks.
10:23Oh, well, that's what happens when you're out painting the town purple.
10:26I wish.
10:26It's my new neighbours there driving me mad thumping about it all hours of the night.
10:30You know what's the best thing for sleep deprivation?
10:32Yeah, sleep.
10:34Ballroom dancing.
10:35Excuse me?
10:36Mancha Wilkins and I have signed up.
10:37Our first lesson is today.
10:39But if you haven't done a class yet, how do you know that it helps with sleep?
10:42Oh, because it did for Lancey.
10:44Or ballet, that is.
10:45I signed him up when he was knee-high to a grasshopper.
10:47He used to come home so worn out he slept through his father's snoring.
10:51That's saying something.
10:52Well, thanks anyway, but I think I'll stick to the short blacks.
10:56See ya.
10:56I don't know Lance was into ballet.
11:00Oh, no, no, he wasn't.
11:01But he was a clumsy little boy and the doctor said it would help with this coordination.
11:05And did it?
11:06Oh, my word, yes.
11:08Didn't he look adorable in his little pink leotard?
11:11And where are these classes being held?
11:14In the surf club at lunchtime.
11:16But if you're thinking of coming, you'll need a partner.
11:22Ballroom dancing, are you crazy?
11:24Colleen says it's good for developing coordination.
11:27Since when did Colleen become an expert?
11:28Yeah, I'll grab that.
11:29Thanks.
11:30Well, a doctor told her apparently she put Lance into ballet lessons when he was a little kid for exactly
11:36the same reason.
11:37Oh, that explains a lot, doesn't it?
11:38Oh, come on, it'll be fun.
11:40And you said yourself you wanted things to move faster.
11:42Yeah, I do, but dancing badly in public, come on.
11:45This is coming from a guy who sang karaoke to me at our wedding.
11:48Yeah, alright, I just don't want to look like the biggest idiot out there.
11:51Trust me, with Colleen and Madge on the dance floor, you won't even come close.
11:53And besides, it'll be a good chance for us to do something fun together.
11:57Like gold times.
11:59Alright.
12:00But if anyone so much as cracks a smile, I'm out of there.
12:05Fair enough.
12:08Okay, boys, let's go.
12:11Where are you going?
12:12I'm going with them, mate.
12:13No, no, no.
12:13Hey, Al, that is my son out there, okay?
12:15I know that, mate, but the last thing these blokes need now is an extra body in the boat, okay?
12:18Just let them do their job.
12:24Boss, I won't say anything.
12:26I still think people should be told so they can prepare if Zoe comes back.
12:28I reckon it's the less people that know the safer they are.
12:32Oh, my God, what happened in here?
12:36Hey, what's going on?
12:38Your brother went for a swim and no one's seen him since.
12:41What do you mean?
12:42He was drunk, Jack.
12:43Him and his mates have been drinking all night.
12:45Well, then what are we doing standing around here for?
12:46Let's go.
12:47Mum?
12:48Oh, you didn't have to come down.
12:49Have they found him yet?
12:50No.
12:51Oh, my God.
12:52Now, listen to me.
12:53They are going to find him.
12:55Oh, but...
12:55No buts.
12:56I've got to get out there.
12:57No, Maddie.
12:58Look, I want you girls to go home.
12:59No way.
13:00There's nothing that you can do here.
13:01Oh, but there has to be something we can do.
13:02The best thing that you can do is to go home and sit by the phone and if there's any
13:06news,
13:06we'll call you.
13:07Okay?
13:08Thanks.
13:08Come on.
13:09Go.
13:17He'll be alright, you know.
13:19No, you don't know that.
13:20What if I never see him again?
13:22Of course you will.
13:24I keep thinking about the last time we spoke.
13:26I...
13:26I was a total cow to him.
13:29I want that to be how it ends.
13:33What was that?
13:41What are you doing?
13:42What does it look like?
13:44But everyone's on the beach looking for you.
13:45We thought you got washed out to sea.
13:46I'll call you Mum.
13:48I did.
13:49I got caught in a rip.
13:50It swept me past the point, but I swam back to shore.
13:52What's the big deal?
13:53What's the big deal?
13:54We've all been so worried about you.
13:56We thought you were dead.
13:57And you've been here all along.
14:04Then, to top it all off, the flyman Galar walked himself home without saying a word
14:08to anyone.
14:09Tony and Beth must be beside themselves.
14:11They weren't too impressed, I can tell you that.
14:13Excuse me.
14:14Would you mind filling these up before class done?
14:19Don't tell me you got wrapped into this rubbish as well.
14:22Yeah, ballroom dancing is the latest thing, Alf.
14:24Didn't you know?
14:25Oh, is that right, eh?
14:27The latest thing.
14:27That's why the blokes are lined up for blocks, just trying to get involved.
14:31You know, maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
14:32Oh, no.
14:33Has it started?
14:34Am I late?
14:35No, not at all.
14:36But where's Mitch?
14:37Well, all I did was tell her that since I'm the more experienced dancer I should lead,
14:41so what does she do?
14:42Pulls out in a huff.
14:43Typical.
14:44I was hoping there might be someone around here that I could partner up with.
14:47Have you seen anyone?
14:49Well, as a matter of fact, I think I have.
14:52Me?
14:53Don't even think about it.
14:54Come on, mate.
14:54You were just saying the class needs more blokes.
14:56Yeah, but not this bloke.
14:57Oh, please, Alf.
14:58It'd mean the world to me.
14:59Colleen, just listen once and listen real good.
15:01There is no way no under man you'll ever get me on that dance floor.
15:05Not now.
15:05Not ever.
15:07Yeah, is everybody ready?
15:09Yep.
15:10Now the flame and hell did I let myself get talked into this.
15:14And one, two, three, one, two.
15:17All right, all right.
15:18Listen, if I'm gonna go through with this, I lead.
15:21All right, no need to get snippy.
15:22Poor Ralph.
15:23I actually feel sorry for him.
15:25Hey, how about some sympathy for me?
15:26This is hard work.
15:27You might find it easier if you move a little closer together.
15:32Much better.
15:34Ready?
15:35Sorry.
15:36Let's go.
15:36Not again.
15:37Ready?
15:38One, two.
15:39This is hard work, seriously.
15:40It's a strong competition.
15:43Don't be so hard on yourself.
15:44Okay, ready?
15:46One, two, three.
15:50Struth!
15:51How many left feet can a woman have?
15:59You just gave us one hell of a fright, you know.
16:01Not to mention, not to mention wasting the guards' time.
16:03Yeah, well that's their job, isn't it?
16:05To search and rescue.
16:06Oh, you lose the attitude, Lucas.
16:07You're the one blowing this out of proportion.
16:09What about stealing Beth's keys, eh?
16:10And looting the bar at the surf club?
16:12We were mucking around, that's all.
16:13Aren't you gonna stick up for me on this?
16:17Fine.
16:18You're right and I'm wrong as usual.
16:20Oi!
16:21Oi!
16:21I haven't finished with you yet, right?
16:22I'll go.
16:23Okay, I'll go.
16:25What's going on?
16:27Why are you doing this?
16:28Oh, that'd be right.
16:29You're always taking his side now.
16:30It's you, Dad and Beth.
16:31In this instance, I think we've got good reason to, don't you?
16:33Yeah, well it's not my fault you all thought I was dead.
16:35It was your fault you got drunk and trashed the bar.
16:37Did you even stop to think that you and your underage mates
16:40could have cost Beth a liquor licence?
16:41Why?
16:42You're even starting to sound like him.
16:43Look, I know that you and Dad rub each other up their own way sometimes
16:46and for some reason, you've got a problem with Beth too.
16:50But if you just talk about it, maybe we'll understand.
16:53Understand?
16:55No, you wouldn't even have the first clue.
17:00Don't slouch, you need to straighten up.
17:02And you're holding me too hard.
17:04Yeah, well, maybe if I wasn't in so much pain.
17:06You're both doing very well.
17:08I hope we'll see you again next week.
17:09Oh, don't worry, Valerie, we'll be here.
17:11Why, girl, we will.
17:12Well, didn't I tell you?
17:14I paid for the whole course up front.
17:16For both of us.
17:17You're kidding.
17:19Oh, dammit.
17:20Let's go.
17:21Just relax.
17:22Easy for you to say.
17:23I'm sure you haven't done this before.
17:25Maybe we'll stop looking at your feet.
17:26Oh, sounds a bit radical.
17:28Okay, now trust me, okay?
17:29Yeah.
17:30Remember, relax.
17:31I'm cool, I'm cool.
17:32Quick step.
17:33Slow, slow.
17:34Quick step.
17:35Oh.
17:36Slow, slow.
17:38That's it.
17:38Quick step.
17:39Doing really well.
17:42I think I could get used to this.
17:44Me too.
17:46Don't.
17:46It's okay.
17:50I heard about your brother, how's he going?
17:52He's all right.
17:53Good.
17:53Listen, I'm just about to head over to my place to work on the case.
17:56You want to come?
17:57Only if you're not busy, of course.
17:59Yeah, I'd be happy to.
18:00Okay.
18:01And I don't need to remind you about the importance of discretion.
18:04Jack's talked to me about it.
18:05Good.
18:06I'll wait for you in the car.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:10I don't think you had a choice.
18:12No.
18:12I'll give you a call later, okay?
18:14All right, love you.
18:17So what do you reckon's going on with him?
18:19How would I know?
18:20I'm just the evil ex.
18:23There's got to be more to it.
18:25Like what?
18:25Like maybe something's happened to him.
18:27Something he hasn't told you about.
18:29Well, everyone's asked her.
18:30He said everything's fine.
18:31Yeah, but just because he said that doesn't mean it's the truth.
18:35For him to have totally flipped like this, there has to be something else going on.
18:43Hey.
18:46If you're here to lecture me, then forget it, okay?
18:48We've only had about a million today already.
18:51Yeah, it's been pretty full on, hasn't it?
18:55Can I sit down?
18:58Yeah, suit yourself.
19:05I'm worried, Luke.
19:06This stuff that's been going on, it's not like you.
19:09Yeah, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
19:14If something's happened to make you like this, you know you can talk to me.
19:20Everyone is so worried.
19:22Your dad, Jack, mum.
19:26Why does something have to be going on?
19:28I'm just sick of being told what to do, that's all, okay?
19:32I just, I want to be left alone, and for some reason no one seems to be able to get
19:36that.
19:54There has to be some clue that we've missed, some detail that will point us in the right direction.
19:58Well, Zoe's so confident that she's bound to slip up sometime.
20:01Well, I hope so, and mate, you'd better think about what you might want for dinner,
20:03because I'd say we're in for a pretty long night.
20:05Uh, Detective Baker, do you want me to look at your fusions, mate?
20:09Oh, I'm sorry, mate, I'll have to wait, something's come up.
20:11Okay, yeah, have her first thing in the morning.
20:13Yeah, that'd suit me much better.
20:14Uh, say about seven?
20:15Yeah, thanks.
20:16Okay.
20:22Hi.
20:22Hi.
20:22G'day again.
20:23I can look at the set now.
20:25Oh, great, I wasn't expecting you for ages yet, come in.
20:27Yeah.
20:46So it's come to this, you put me in a paper boat, you set me free and you watched me
20:55float.
20:56So it's come to this.
20:59Next week on Home and Away.
