00:01Barry Hyde, you are being formally charged with the murders of Joshua West and Kerry Hyde.
00:13Everybody wants me to be so understanding.
00:16Let him explain it to me.
00:19As far as I'm concerned, Barry Hyde can rot in hell.
00:22There has to be some clue that we've missed, some detail that will point us in the right direction.
00:27Well, Zoe's so confident that she's bound to slip up sometime.
00:29Well, I hope so, and mate, you'd better think about what you might want for dinner,
00:32because I'd say we're in for a pretty long night.
00:38Hi. G'day again. I can look at the tap now.
00:41Great. I wasn't expecting you for ages yet. Come in.
00:50You know we belong together
00:54You and I forever and ever
00:57No matter where you are
01:02You're my guiding star
01:05You're my guiding star
01:07Hold me in your arms
01:10Don't let me go
01:12I want to stay forever
01:16Closer each day
01:19Home and away
01:22Sally said not to worry about anything. She's going to take care of the place for you.
01:25I'm sure the school will be fine. She's a fine teacher and a good administrator.
01:33Dad, there's something else.
01:36I didn't want to have to tell you this now, but I thought you should know.
01:40You received a letter and they're evicting you from your flat.
01:43What? They can't do that.
01:45Well, they are.
01:46He hasn't even been to court yet.
01:47You can't really blame them.
01:48Yes, I can. They have no right to punish you.
01:51Rachel, this is a small town.
01:54People were always going to turn once word got out.
01:57Well, that doesn't make it right.
01:58Perhaps not, but the last thing a small town needs is gossip and scandal keeping people away.
02:03It's not unreasonable.
02:04Dad, you've done a lot of good stuff for this place.
02:07They're at the school, in the community.
02:10Have you seen Irene lately?
02:12I was hoping that she'd come and visit me.
02:15You know, if she's planning to.
02:17I'm sorry, but it's time.
02:20Barry, I'm going to have to ask you to stand up while I put the handcuffs on.
02:35Has anyone told you how today's going to run?
02:37Um, no.
02:39Constable Adams and one of the other officers will drive you over to the court
02:42and then from there you'll probably be taken down to wait in the cells.
02:45Peter, you already have him handcuffed. Do you have to lock him up as well?
02:48Yes, but it'll only be until before the hearing's about to start.
02:50Then you'll be taken to the courtroom and seated at the defence table.
02:53Have you got any questions?
02:56And Barry, I do hope it goes well for you.
03:00Dad, we'll see you over there.
03:02Let's try and get there before they do, hey?
03:04Hey, that was left in the front box for you.
03:07Thanks.
03:38Hey, how was the trip over?
03:41It was fine.
03:43And you feeling alright?
03:44I'd be a lot happier if my solicitor wasn't cutting it quite so fine.
03:47Well, he's probably just outside.
03:49Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that.
03:51What's going on?
03:52Well, I just thought it best that someone who understood the context of the crime handle the case.
03:57And your father solicitor agrees.
03:59So who's going to be representing him?
04:01Well, if you have no objection, Barry, I would like to represent you.
04:04Alright, I can't ask you to do that.
04:05Well, you're not asking. I'm volunteering.
04:07Yes, but it's bad enough that you were dragged into this in the first place without having to suffer through
04:11any more of it.
04:12Well, I think everybody's suffered, Barry.
04:14And I'd just like the chance to try and undo some of the mess.
04:20Thank you. That'd be wonderful.
04:22Good.
04:23Well, now, first order of the day is try and get your charges reduced.
04:26Followed by securing bail.
04:28Any questions?
04:36Alright.
04:38It really is good to have you here.
04:47Believe me when I tell you this is not a joke.
04:49That letter is very real and so is the threat that this girl poses.
04:52Okay, she is serious, she is smart and she is very dangerous.
04:56Zoe McAllister is our number one priority.
04:58She has come back here for a reason.
04:59We need to find out what that is and stop her.
05:01It's that simple.
05:02Okay, so nothing gets overlooked.
05:03I want all recent hotel registrations and rental properties reviewed.
05:07I want car regos run through the computer.
05:09And I want you guys out there talking to any unfamiliar faces.
05:11Alright, tourists, new residents, delivery people.
05:14Nothing and no one is too small to have a look at.
05:16Alright?
05:17Now the tricky part.
05:19No one is to know who we're looking for.
05:20The last thing we need is a panic on our hands.
05:22Are we clear?
05:24Alright, let's go.
05:28Did anyone find out who sent that letter?
05:29No, I got one of the boys to look in the mailbox, but there's nothing.
05:32Okay, send that off to the lab as well.
05:34See if they can get anything that might give us a lead, any lead to where Zoe might be.
05:37Okay.
05:42Since his arrival in Summer Bay, Your Honour, Barry Hyde has proved to be a pillar of the community.
05:48And I can assure you there is no shortage of character witnesses willing to step forward and testify on his
05:55behalf.
05:55I'm sure there isn't.
05:56Returning then to the question of bail, Your Honour.
05:59Does my client pose a threat to the community?
06:02And the answer is no, he does not.
06:04My client only reacted in what he believed to be a very real threat against a loved one.
06:10Which brings me to the second issue we should address this morning.
06:13And what is that?
06:15The question of appropriate charges, Your Honour.
06:18What are you contending?
06:19Well, quite simply, if my client is to be tried on charges of murder, the prosecution must prove malice aforethought
06:27in each instance.
06:28Or at the very least, the intent to commit grievous bodily harm.
06:32Neither of which can be proven beyond reasonable doubt with the evidence available.
06:36According to you?
06:38Well, we must come up with a plausible alternative, Your Honour.
06:41Which would be?
06:42Manslaughter.
06:43Now, in the first instance, my client arrived home to find his wife drowning their baby son in the bath.
06:52And obviously, he acted in a moment of passion.
06:57And in the second?
06:58During a course of threatening my client's son, the victim drew a gun, thereby instigating a tussle, which caused the
07:07fatal shot.
07:08In returning to the question of bail, Your Honour, I submit that my client is not a flight risk.
07:15He has deep roots in the community.
07:17And every reason to face the charges to defend the reputation he spent a lifetime building.
07:24We'll stand in recess for a short time while I take these matters into consideration.
07:28All right.
07:32All right.
07:34That seemed to go well.
07:37We'll see.
07:44She's not wasting any time.
07:46She wants us to know that she's back and she wants to make it very clear that she's calling the
07:49shots.
07:51I can handle it, Tracy.
07:52I know who we're dealing with.
07:55Well, you're just going to have to trust me then, aren't you?
07:57All right.
07:57If she's here, we'll find her.
08:01Absolutely.
08:02You'll be the first to know.
08:04Okay.
09:00You'll be the first to know.
09:06I don't know.
09:38I don't know.
10:29I don't know.
10:34I don't know.
10:40You didn't answer my question.
10:41What's that?
10:42Do you know if Irene's planning to come and see me?
10:45Yeah, she, um...
10:47Do I take that as a no?
10:50Look, she wants to, Dad.
10:51She's just busy.
10:52She was going to know she wants to.
10:54It's all right, Kim.
10:55You don't have to try and spare me.
11:08As to the matter of a reduction in the charges,
11:11I've reviewed the prosecution brief,
11:13and I am compelled to agree with the defence.
11:15There is no evidence to suggest any harm or malice was intended,
11:19and as such, I am directing that the charges in both cases against the accused be reduced to manslaughter.
11:27I also find myself in agreement with the defence in assessing the potential threat to the community posed by the
11:33accused,
11:33in that I don't believe there is one.
11:35And therefore, I am also willing to set bail.
11:40However, a charge of manslaughter is still very serious,
11:44and I feel it would be prudent to ensure that Mr. Hyde is strongly motivated to be present to answer
11:50the charges.
11:51As a result, I am here by setting his bail at $250,000.
11:56Come on, Dad doesn't have that call.
11:58Um, Your Honour, I do submit...
12:00You've done well today, Ms. Bellingham.
12:02I wouldn't push my luck if I were you.
12:34I've been doing well today, Ms. Bellingham.
12:59Hey!
13:00I just want to know who has got $250,000 lying around.
13:03It's a joke.
13:04Other people are able to come up with it when they're in this situation.
13:07There must be a way for us to.
13:08Perhaps if I had something, some asset to borrow against, but I don't.
13:11Then we'll think of something else.
13:13Any ideas?
13:14Well, not at the moment, but there's got to be something that we just haven't thought of it yet.
13:17It's a nice sentiment, Rachel.
13:19I wouldn't waste too much time on it.
13:20The simple fact is it's too much money, and we all know I brought this on myself.
13:26OK, you're free to go.
13:29I think you find there's a small matter of $250,000 bail.
13:32It's been posted for you.
13:35Well, posted by who?
13:36Couldn't tell you.
13:37All I know is that you're a free man, so if you want to come with me, we'll organise the
13:40paperwork.
14:12All I know is that you're a free man, so if you want to come with me, you're a free
14:16man, you're a free man, you're a free man, you're a free man, you're a free man, you're a free

19:03Hey, we should probably get going, hey?
19:05Yeah.
19:07Listen, if you need anything...
19:31Did you find anything?
19:33No, the boys had a good look around the factory after you left, but there was nothing.
19:36No sign of anyone at all?
19:37No, but we called forensics and they're still out there, so hopefully they'll turn up something.
19:41I mean, God, Zoe has to have left a trace somewhere.
19:43Well, I wouldn't count on it, and even if she did, it's only because she wanted us to find it.
19:46That's giving her a lot of credit.
19:48Nothing happened out there today that she didn't want to happen.
19:50The whole place was like her own private amusement park.
19:53I mean, everything was planned down to the last detail.
19:55Doesn't mean she can't make a mistake.
19:57Lara, she's methodical.
19:58She's very precise and she's highly motivated.
20:00The thing she wants more than anything is revenge.
20:02Okay, so let's start there.
20:04Revenge against who?
20:05Summer Bay, any one of the people here.
20:08Me?
20:10She's not going to stop until she gets it.
20:36Me?
20:43I'm not going to stop until she suffers.
20:48What?
20:50I'm not going to stop.
20:56You got to keep going to prevent us from a threat.
21:03It should've stopped. It's Doppler.
21:05Come on, move!
21:11Home and away tomorrow.
