00:00Music
00:13Oh my Boris, adrenaline?
00:15Wake up, Gran, please wake up.
00:17She's in a Sicily.
00:19What are you doing?
00:20Why are you stopping?
00:21I'm sorry Charlie, she's gone.
00:23No, she wasn't meant to die.
00:26This wasn't meant to happen.
00:28There might be a film crew coming to town to make a movie.
00:32There are still a whole lot of areas where the council couldn't give us any details
00:35and that's what worries me about this.
00:36Why don't we just ask for a meeting with the producer then?
00:39That way we can ask anything we want.
00:40Do you think I haven't been trying to get hold of the producer?
00:42The council can't even give me a name.
00:44I think I can help you with that.
00:48The producer is me.
00:57Music
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
01:26You're the producer!
01:27I had a feeling this business stank to high heaven and I was right.
01:31What happened to being an actress?
01:32Oh, that was the old me.
01:34Part of the path that I've left behind.
01:37I'm a professional filmmaker now.
01:39Professional con artist, more like it.
01:40You know, you have got some amazing gall, lady.
01:44Coming back here after everything you've pulled.
01:46Actually, that's part of the reason that I've chosen Summer Bay for my movie.
01:49I thought I could give something back to the community.
01:52How stupid do you think we are?
01:55Is that a trick question?
01:57Look, I am being deadly serious here.
01:59This is going to send local economy through the roof.
02:01Not to mention the tourism once the film's released.
02:05And there's going to be plenty of opportunities for walk-ons too.
02:08You're mad if you think the people of this town are going to get behind anything you're involved in.
02:12Oh, I'm not after your approval.
02:14The council's pretty much already agreed to it.
02:16Ah-ha-ha. But that's where you're wrong, you see.
02:18They haven't. And we're going to make damn sure they don't.
02:21Oh, stop your whining, will you?
02:23With the millions of dollars that I'm going to be spending, you should be grateful for the opportunity.
02:28Small towns, they just don't change, do they?
02:31But now, thanks to me, this one has a very bright future.
02:40And where have we heard that line before?
02:53I can't believe it.
02:55I can't believe she's gone.
03:01I'm so sorry, Charlie.
03:04She was the only family I had left.
03:08How could this happen? She wasn't meant to die.
03:18I know that this must be a terrible shock.
03:22Don't worry, Charlie. We'll find out what happened to your gran.
03:30You don't touch me.
03:32Charlie, Charlie, I was just...
03:33Just leave me alone.
03:35Come on.
03:41Yes, I need to tell you.
03:44Come here.
03:45Come here.
03:48Are you right?
03:50Yes.
03:52Thank you for a perfect day.
03:55You're welcome.
03:57Dad, I'm back.
03:58Ryan?
03:58Ryan?
03:59Hey, buddy.
04:02Did you miss me?
04:04Yeah.
04:05Mum said we're coming back to stay.
04:10Surprise.
04:13Amanda's back.
04:14I thought she was gone for good.
04:15Didn't we all, darling?
04:17Now she's back as some highfalutin movie producer.
04:20Okay, why does she want to do the movie here?
04:22Well, she reckons she wants to give something back to the community.
04:26Which I assure means she wants to rip everybody off and shoot through again.
04:29Sounds like Project 56 take two.
04:31Well, I don't think it's as bad as all that.
04:34I mean, after all, it's only a movie.
04:37Only a movie?
04:38Wake up to yourself, woman.
04:40Amanda's involved.
04:41It's got to be as shonky as all get out.
04:42Exactly.
04:43I mean, I couldn't care less about somebody making a movie here.
04:46But it's Amanda's movie.
04:47That's what I care about.
04:49Considering all the mayhem she's already caused.
04:51Yeah, well, I'd better get back to it then.
04:53I've got to stop her somehow.
04:55Oh, love, how?
04:56This is Amanda Vale we're talking about.
04:59And the council aren't going to give two hoots what a handful of people think.
05:03Well, they will if the entire town complains to them.
05:06If we could just get the word out there that Amanda's the one behind this movie,
05:09we could get tons of people to logic and flat,
05:11then there's no way the council could approve her application then.
05:14Yeah, but how are we going to do that?
05:15I already called a town meeting and only a handful of people turned up.
05:18Well, we could write up some flyers letting people know what's going on.
05:20Great idea we can drop them all over town.
05:22Oh, please.
05:23How is a bunch of flyers going to help this situation?
05:25It's going to spread the word.
05:27Too right it will.
05:27And we've got to do something.
05:28We're running out of time.
05:29Why don't you guys organise the flyers and I'll organise a letterbox drop.
05:32Cool.
05:33No worries.
05:33Don't worry, Rennie.
05:34It'll be okay.
05:36You know, Amanda doesn't even have any friends here anymore.
05:38We'll see you soon.
05:42Our holiday was so much fun.
05:44We went to Disneyland in Paris and everything.
05:46Oh, that's brilliant, mate.
05:49Wish you could have come too.
05:51Oh, it looks like Daddy's been busy with his own adventures.
05:54Bed-hopping with the exes, Dan.
05:56So how long after you jumped out of my bed did you scurry back to hers?
05:59I mean, it...
06:00Hey, Aaliyah, wait.
06:01It's fine.
06:02You two obviously have things that you have to talk about.
06:04So Ryan and I might grab the rest of the stuff from outside.
06:06What do you say, Rye?
06:07Okay.
06:08Right.
06:13What the hell is the matter with you?
06:14Me?
06:15If you can't be honest with her, then that's not my fault.
06:19You are lucky I didn't call the cops on you.
06:21Taking off with my son without a phone call saying where you went.
06:23I've been worried sick about him.
06:25Do you expect me to feel guilty?
06:27After the way you treated me?
06:28No, I expect you to act like a responsible parent.
06:31I mean, God knows why you haven't done that in the past, but...
06:33How dare you stand there and lecture me about morals?
06:37You're the one who can't make up his mind on who he wants to be with.
06:39No, no, no.
06:40I know exactly who I want to be with.
06:41Well, what were you doing with me, Dan?
06:44Were you just testing it out for a while before you went crawling back to Leah?
06:47Amanda, I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
06:49Unless it's got something to do with Ryan, you understand?
06:51That is fine by me.
06:52Good.
06:53What's the matter, Dan?
06:55Can't handle that I've turned over a new leaf?
06:57That I've decided never to be a victim again?
07:00I'm a whole new person.
07:02And you better get used to it.
07:05This is my new address.
07:07You can have Ryan for a few hours, but I expect him home by six.
07:10A few hours, Dan.
07:11It's not up for negotiation.
07:21Hey.
07:23Hey.
07:24Hey, look, Doris died.
07:26She what?
07:27I thought she was okay to go home.
07:28Yeah, look, she went into cardiac arrest.
07:30We don't know why yet.
07:31One minute she was all right, then the next she...
07:34We'll know more when we get the blood test back.
07:36Oh, he's house Charlie.
07:38He must be a mess.
07:38Yeah, yeah.
07:39Look, I tried to comfort him, and he doesn't want anyone to go near him, all right?
07:44Charlie, mate, listen.
07:46Sorry to hear about your grandma, but...
07:48Whoa.
07:49Grand squad.
07:52Yep.
07:55Are you and Dad getting back together now?
07:58Hey, mate, why don't you have a break?
08:00You can go outside and play in the cubby house if you like.
08:02Oh, cool.
08:06Sorry about before.
08:07Amanda had no right shooting her mouth off like that.
08:09So it's true.
08:10You really slept with her?
08:13Yes, but I regretted it the second that it happened, and I have ever since.
08:17I was just messed up, and I didn't know what I was doing.
08:20I know that you're angry.
08:22I'm not angry.
08:23Leah, it was a mistake.
08:25I mean, you and I were separated, but I...
08:27I know that, Dan.
08:29I'm worried.
08:29You know, we finally found our way back to each other, and now she's just going to tear
08:33us apart again.
08:33No, no, no, that is not going to happen.
08:35Amanda is not going to come between us again.
08:37I won't...
08:37Well, we won't let that happen.
08:40This doesn't have to change anything.
08:41Okay.
08:47Okay.
08:52Okay, I gave her five mils of IV morphine earlier this afternoon, but I disposed of the other
08:57five in the sharps bin.
08:59This wasn't in the sharps bin.
09:00This was in the normal rubbish bin.
09:03Well, that's against procedure.
09:04I know.
09:05And we also know that an overdose of morphine can cause a cardiac arrest.
09:09Cause a cardiac arrest?
09:12Well, hang on.
09:13Are you saying you think somebody gave her this as well?
09:25Here you go, Mr. Stewart.
09:27Seven squillion flyers ready to go.
09:29Oh, good on you, mate.
09:30I reckon we're going to knock this little movie idea right on its head.
09:34Yeah, well, as long as people take action and notice quick smart.
09:37And the producer of Project 56 comes Amanda Vale's latest disaster for some of that.
09:41Catchy, isn't it?
09:43I'll take a pile of these over at the surf club.
09:45I've got some volunteers lined up over there to help with the letterbox drop.
09:47Well, leave us a bunch here, Dale, because Bell's just volunteered to help us.
09:51Order two more lights?
09:52Oh, good.
09:52Well, then you can come with us.
09:53We're doing every letterbox from here to the caravan park.
09:55We'll let the fun begin.
09:56Well, you go.
09:57Have a read.
09:57Take the power back.
09:58Cool.
10:00Hello.
10:01G'day, mate.
10:02Gee, I bet you're a sight for your old man's sore eyes.
10:05Yeah, I am.
10:07This is why she's back.
10:08Are you all right to come and pick up Ryan's stuff later on?
10:10Yeah, sure.
10:12Hey, Dad.
10:13Can I get a smoothie?
10:14All right.
10:15Grab a seat and I'll order it for you.
10:18Can I assume that lunch didn't go so well?
10:21Oh, no, no.
10:22It was fantastic.
10:23We sorted everything out.
10:24Well, perfect until Amanda showed up.
10:27Oh.
10:27You know, I just wish she'd drop Ryan back and then
10:28left town again, but, hmm.
10:30So what did she do?
10:31Start a fight or something?
10:32No, no, no, not exactly.
10:33Leah's just worried that Amanda's going to come between us again, so.
10:36Well, we all know what a nightmare that woman is,
10:40but you can't let her interfere with your life anymore.
10:43No, no, no.
10:43That's what I'm trying to tell Leah.
10:45I don't know.
10:46I think she's having second thoughts or...
10:57Are you blind or something?
10:59You nearly ran me over.
11:01Well, get off my driveway now.
11:03Who do you think you are?
11:04I am out here trying to do something good for the town here
11:07and all you care about is you...
11:08Hey, give this back.
11:09As if you care.
11:10Get off my property, you little insect.
11:15That's some stupid cow.
11:16It's because you're rich.
11:17You can do whatever you want.
11:18This is Amanda Bale.
11:19I need to speak to somebody about my film permit now, please.
11:28Yes, hello, Brian.
11:30Well, you've had my application for three weeks
11:32and I haven't heard a thing.
11:35No, no, that's unacceptable.
11:37If you can't manage a film project of this size,
11:40then I'm going to have to take it to another town.
11:42No, no.
11:43You have 24 hours to give me a response.
11:46Otherwise, I'll be taking my production elsewhere.
11:50Good.
11:50But I look forward to it.
11:57Look, Julie found an empty syringe and vial
12:00in the bin outside Doris' room.
12:02Huh?
12:03What does that mean?
12:04Well, it was in a normal rubbish bin,
12:06not in a special sharps container.
12:09There's strict procedures when you dispose of any sharps.
12:12No member of staff would just throw an empty vial in a bin.
12:14Right, what are you getting at?
12:16I gave her five mils of morphine earlier in the day.
12:20Another dose on top of that would be far too much
12:21for an elderly patient.
12:22It could easily cause a cardiac arrest.
12:25So what are you saying?
12:25Someone gave her another one by mistake?
12:27No, that's unlikely.
12:28On purpose?
12:30It's possible.
12:31Man, why?
12:32Who would do that?
12:32She's an old lady.
12:35And not Charlie, no way.
12:37Well, look, I don't know.
12:38But no one who works in a hospital
12:39would leave an empty vial
12:40in a rubbish bin like that.
12:46Oh, hello, darling.
12:49Whoa, look at this place.
12:51It's huge.
12:52Upstairs, sweetheart.
12:54Your bedroom's second on the left.
12:55Go and check it out.
12:56I've got it.
12:57She must be dripping in money.
13:00Thanks for dropping Ryan back.
13:02I'll be in touch about when you can see him next.
13:06Oh, how cute.
13:08Two is one.
13:10Watch out for the eleventh hour flip-flop, though.
13:12Dan can never seem to make up his mind.
13:14Yeah, right, I think that'll be...
13:15Just go.
13:15In fact, you know what?
13:16I'm not going to let you speak to me
13:18or to Dan like that anymore.
13:19You're wrong about him and you're wrong about us.
13:21So get it through that peroxide blonde head of yours.
13:23We're together.
13:24Nothing you say or do is going to change that.
13:38Ah, Rachel, well, not Charlie.
13:40I mean, she was his grandmother.
13:41She brought him up.
13:42He couldn't have hated looking after her that much.
13:43No, I think it's more complicated than that.
13:45Why?
13:46What do you mean?
13:47Remember how I said that he didn't seem keen
13:49on Doris going home this morning?
13:51I mean, he even said to her
13:53that she should stay in here for longer.
13:54Well, how come?
13:55I thought she was fine to go home.
13:56Yeah, she was.
13:57But think about it.
13:58Doris stays in hospital.
14:00Charlie gets to stay in the bay,
14:01gets to hang out with you.
14:03Doris goes home and he's got no life
14:05except for looking after her.
14:06No, Rach, come on.
14:07You seriously think he'd kill his grandma
14:08just so he could stay with us?
14:09I don't think he meant for her to die.
14:11I think he just wanted her to go downhill a little bit
14:13so we'd keep her in here for longer.
14:17So he gives her something to make her feel sick again?
14:19Yeah, only it backfires.
14:20Oh, I can't believe this.
14:23What are you going to do?
14:25Well, I'm going to wait for the autopsy results
14:27to come back and see if it was the morphine that killed her.
14:29It's only a theory at this stage.
14:31Oh, so there still could be some other explanation?
14:33Right, old age, whatever.
14:35Yeah, yeah.
14:36Look, the thing is, if Charlie did do this,
14:38I'm worried how he's going to deal with it.
14:40You know, he's not the most stable guy in the world.
14:42You know, if he's got all this extra guilt loaded on top,
14:44who knows what he might do.
14:45Come on.
14:59See you tomorrow.
15:05Oh, Charlie, um, how are you doing?
15:08How do you think I'm doing?
15:11Charlie, if you need to talk about anything at all,
15:13you can always come to me.
15:15I know that what happened was very sudden.
15:17It was very tragic.
15:19What you must be going through.
15:20I know what you're doing.
15:22What?
15:23You're trying to get me to admit something
15:25that I didn't do, aren't you?
15:27Charlie, I'm just saying if you...
15:28I'm not an idiot.
15:30I know you don't like me hanging around with Kim.
15:32That's why you're making up all these lies.
15:34What?
15:35You're jealous.
15:36You see how close we are and you can't take it, can you?
15:40Charlie, I'm not jealous of anything.
15:42I think you need to talk to someone.
15:45Kim and I have something special.
15:48And you're trying to ruin it.
15:51But I'm not going to let you.
15:53Do you understand me?
15:55I'm not going to let you.
16:03He heard us talking.
16:04Yeah, he must have.
16:05He said that I was making up lies about him
16:07because I was jealous of you two.
16:08He what?
16:09Look, he's really obsessed with you.
16:11He's paranoid and hostile.
16:12He's in a terrible state over Doris.
16:14It's scary.
16:17Oh, well, I'll go and talk to him.
16:19No, that just might make things worse.
16:20Yeah, but Rach, at least you'll listen to me.
16:22If I can get him to tell me what really happened,
16:23then I might be able to convince him to get some help,
16:25some proper help, before he does anything else.
16:27Look, volatile people don't often like to be told
16:29that they need help.
16:30Kim, if you push him too far,
16:31I don't know what he might do.
16:32Look, I'm not going to let it get out of hand,
16:33but someone has to talk to him.
16:35And I'm probably the only one
16:36he's going to listen to right now.
16:37Look, just promise me you won't lose your cool with him.
16:39He's going to be fine, OK?
16:39Trust me.
16:52Hey, want if I join you?
16:55Sure.
16:57Do you want a drink or something?
16:59No, I'm good, mate.
17:00I just came to see how you're holding up.
17:02I still can't believe she's gone.
17:06She's all I had left, you know?
17:09Except for you.
17:10Yeah, that's why I came to find you.
17:13I just wanted to see if you wanted to talk about anything.
17:15No, I'm all right.
17:18You sure?
17:19Because I know what it's like to lose someone.
17:22And I always find what helps is to talk about what happened.
17:24Why are you doing this?
17:27Well, I'm trying to help you.
17:28No, you're not.
17:29You're trying to figure out if I really did make Gran die.
17:32Just like Rachel told you I did.
17:34Well, Rachel never said that.
17:35No, she did.
17:37I heard her.
17:38I heard both of you.
17:41She's lying.
17:42She knows how much I mean to you and she's jealous.
17:45She's saying all this stuff so you'll hate me.
17:47Hang on, Charlie, hang on.
17:48She wants me away from you so she can have you all to herself.
17:50Now look, you are way off base.
17:51No, she's no good for you.
17:53I care about you more than she does.
17:56She's trying to come between us.
17:58Whoa, whoa, will you stop?
17:59There is nothing to come between.
18:00That's not true.
18:01Yes, it is, Charlie.
18:02We're not friends.
18:06Look, you're mixed up and I understand that you were lonely.
18:09But you need to do the right thing here and tell me what happened.
18:12It's all Rachel's fault.
18:14If she wasn't here, everything would be fine.
18:16Just tell me what happened with your gran that you gave her the overdose.
18:20I told you.
18:20I didn't do anything.
18:22I thought you'd believe me.
18:32G'day.
18:33G'day.
18:34Well, you two look nice and cosy.
18:36Well, we haven't been out pounding the pavement like you guys.
18:38Uh, no, but they have been checking out where Amanda's living.
18:43Tell them.
18:44Ah, she bought that old McAdams place.
18:46You're kidding.
18:47So they were the same flame and removalists that nearly ran me down.
18:51I don't know why I'm surprised.
18:52What's it like inside?
18:55Beautiful and enormous.
18:57She's not wasting any time spending Grandpa's money then?
18:59Yeah, not to mention the dough she got from Josh and the investors from that last debacle.
19:04Oh, she's got herself a nice little car as well, which she nearly ran me over in.
19:07What?
19:08Yeah, they can nearly ran me down in her driveway.
19:10Oh, well, are you alright?
19:11Oh, I'm fine.
19:12I just wish I'd got a chance to punch out her stupid life.
19:15Well, at least we've got all these out there.
19:16You know, hopefully people start taking Stan now.
19:18Don't worry.
19:19We're going to fight her all the way on this one.
19:21Really rattle a cage.
19:30Dad, why don't you just...
19:34Mum.
19:35Hello, darling.
19:48That is exactly what I told you not to do.
19:50I know, but he just got to me.
19:52The things he was saying about you, about me and him, it was off the planet.
19:56Look, I'm sorry.
19:57I shouldn't have let him get to me.
19:58It's okay.
19:58So he denied hurting Doris?
20:00Yeah, but I don't think it matters.
20:01I think you should still see Olivetti.
20:02No, I need proof first.
20:03Can't you tell me your concerns at least?
20:05Put it on record.
20:06I guess I have no choice now.
20:10Oh, excuse me.
20:13I've been meaning to talk to you.
20:14And are you?
20:16Is everything alright?
20:17I'm afraid not.
20:18There's been an accusation made against you regarding the treatment of Doris McKinnon.
20:22Excuse me?
20:23The complainant is alleging that you gave Mrs McKinnon a double dose of morphine.
20:27And judging by the results of the toxicology report, it appears there may be a case.
20:32It was Charlie McKinnon who made this complaint, wasn't it?
20:34Oh, you know I can't divulge that information, don't I?
20:37The thing is, I believe it was Charlie who gave Doris the second dose of morphine,
20:40causing an overdose and subsequent cardiac arrest.
20:42But do you have any proof of this?
20:45No, no, I don't.
20:46Look, Charlie knew I had suspicions.
20:48He's obviously made up this complaint to discredit me.
20:51And you're telling me all this only now, after the complaint has been made?
20:54Geoff, I know how this looks.
20:56How this looks, Dr Armstrong, is very bad.
20:59We have to investigate.
21:01What am I looking at?
21:02Medical negligence, occasioning death.
21:10He's out to get revenge.
21:12What if they don't find him?
21:13I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
21:14And he won't stop until he gets what he wants.
21:17Rachel!
21:18But next week, they'll finally find out...
21:20The stalker is still alive.
21:23Talk.
21:24Titch.
21:25...is one of them helping her?
21:26None of you are in any immediate danger.
21:28Stay here, no one move!
21:30Will this be the week they finally catch...
21:33The Stalker.
21:34Can't wait to see the look on her face when she walks through that door.
21:36Home and Away, next week at 7.
