00:00Is one of them helping the stalker?
00:03None of you are in any of me danger.
00:05Stay here, no one move!
00:06Home and Away, next on Seven.
00:12Hello, is anyone home?
00:18I'm here with all my friends celebrating
00:20and they're oblivious to the fact that there's a lunatic out there
00:22that would prefer nothing more than to see them dead.
00:24And we have got a special delivery for us,
00:27Miss Martha McKenzie.
00:30There you go.
00:31I swear, if there's anything embarrassing on this,
00:33I'm going to kill them.
00:34All right, guys, let me just show you, let's have a look.
00:45Excuse me.
00:46Excuse me.
00:53You know we belong together
00:56You and I forever and ever
01:01No matter where you are
01:05You're my guiding star
01:09Hold me in your arms
01:13Don't let me go
01:15I want to stay forever
01:19Closer each day
01:21Closer each day
01:23Home and away
01:26Zoe McAllister's back from the grave
01:27and you're only telling us about it now.
01:29How long have you known about this, Peter?
01:31A little while, but there was no way that I could have said it.
01:33Or to think that we've been walking around in a fool's paradise
01:35and all the time that Zoe's been stalking us,
01:38watching our every move.
01:39Just hang on a minute, please.
01:40I think we've been hanging on long enough.
01:42Didn't you think we had a right to know?
01:43I mean, you should have told us.
01:44We were worried that people would panic just like you are now.
01:46And we didn't want a mass hysteria on our hands.
01:48Well, finding out like this doesn't help.
01:49Look, obviously I didn't want this either.
01:52But I can tell you that we're doing everything we can to find Zoe
01:54and we're not going to stop until we get her.
01:56What? And that's the best you've got, is it?
01:57Look, I know this is a big shock to all of you,
01:59but there was no way that we could risk telling any of you.
02:01If the truth had it got out to Zoe,
02:03it might have made her even more unpredictable
02:04and that means more danger for every single one of you.
02:07Yeah, but at least we would have been on the lookout.
02:08I mean, some of us have got children to look after.
02:10You know what she did to this town and what she's capable of?
02:12Yeah, and covering up something like this is...
02:14No-one is covering up anything.
02:16We did what we thought was best at the time.
02:18Now, to put all of your minds at ease,
02:19there will be a full briefing tomorrow morning in the surf club,
02:219am sharp.
02:23Are there any questions?
02:24Any legitimate questions?
02:26Um, what do we do in the meantime?
02:27I mean, Zoe could be out there waiting for us.
02:30Come on, do you really think that I'd let any of you walk out that door
02:32if I thought she was going to try anything else tonight?
02:34Zoe has had her fun for the moment, OK?
02:36The best thing you can do is go home and we'll...
02:38we'll see each other in the morning.
02:41OK, please.
02:43Well, I suppose that's the end of the party.
02:47Tush, love her.
02:48You and Robbie want to walk home?
02:50Could I put a mattress on the floor in your room tonight?
02:53Maybe we could all sleep in the lounge room.
02:56Sounds good to me.
02:57Yeah.
02:57It's a good opportunity, mate, for DVDs and popcorn.
02:59What do you say?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Sorry, but I've got to go with Peter.
03:03I think of happier ways to end our engagement partner.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Let's go.
03:07I'm sorry, mate, but it looks like we're going to have a bit of a night of it starting
03:10with that video.
03:11Let's go.
03:11OK.
03:12You OK?
03:14Where'd she get going to?
03:16Actually, I...
03:17Don't tell me you're scared of this Zoe, she can't.
03:20Stick with me.
03:21I think I can handle it.
03:23No, Mapa, I think I should stay here tonight.
03:25My family needs me.
03:27Right.
03:27OK.
03:28Cool, you've got to do what you've got to do.
03:30I'll see you in the morning, OK?
03:31OK.
03:32OK.
03:41I don't get it.
03:42Why would Zoe want everyone to know that she's back?
03:44You really need me to answer that?
03:46Yeah, but surely she's going to make it more difficult for herself now.
03:48People are going to be more careful.
03:49They're going to be looking out for her.
03:50Yes, and they are going to be scared, which is exactly what she wants.
03:53You see, Zoe works on playing with people's minds.
03:55The more fear and paranoia she can generate, the better off for her.
03:58OK?
03:58It's all part of her little game.
04:00She is bold.
04:00I'll give her that.
04:02Sending a tape right in the middle of your engagement party.
04:04Did you get onto the courier?
04:05We're still trying to find them.
04:06So now that it's out in the open, we have to think about this a whole new way.
04:09Why?
04:09Zoe's no more of a threat today than she was yesterday.
04:11Yes, but the difference now is that everyone knows that she's here.
04:14And if we're not careful, we're going to have a mass panic on our hands.
04:17So if we want to control this situation, we have to think about it completely differently.
04:20What do you suggest we do?
04:22I don't know.
04:23But we're not going to leave the station until we come up with some ideas.
04:26Are you with me?
04:27Absolutely.
04:27You bet.
04:28Let's get started.
04:38Let's get started.
04:58You all right, love?
05:00Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
05:03Sorry I took so long.
05:05By the time I swept Colleen's van out and checked for booby traps
05:08and then poured a stiff sherry down her throat,
05:11I was lucky to get out when I did.
05:16Are you sure you're all right?
05:19I was just probably a bit shocked about what happened tonight,
05:22you know, everybody finding out like that.
05:24I thought you'd be pleased that at least it's no longer a secret.
05:27Oh, I am.
05:28I just...
05:30I guess now that everybody knows, it just suddenly seems very real.
05:35You know, I thought Zoe was gone.
05:38You know, I thought that it was all over,
05:41but it's just all happening again,
05:43and this time I don't have Flynn.
05:49Sal, you've got me.
05:51You've got Rick, Cassie, Martha.
05:54There's no way we're going to let anything happen to you
05:56or this family ever again.
06:04What, is she going to set her keys to this place?
06:05How the hell does she keep getting in here?
06:07It's a police station, Peter, not maximum security.
06:09I don't care if it's Alcatraz.
06:10Find out which joke I locked up tonight and get him in here, right?
06:12It's two o'clock in the morning.
06:14I want to know how Zoe McAllister got into my office.
06:16I think I can answer that one.
06:18Looks like she used a crowbar to break through the back window.
06:22I'll get it.
06:24All right, let's get a paint sample off the wall
06:26and send it off to the lab.
06:27An analysis of the paint might be able to tell us
06:29where she bought it from.
06:30Look, I know it's a long shot.
06:31Just indulge me, please.
06:33That was Colleen Smart.
06:34She heard a noise outside her mobile home.
06:36She wanted someone to go around and investigate.
06:38It's already started.
06:39You see, this is exactly why I didn't want people
06:41finding out about Zoe in the first place,
06:42because instead of using our time and resources efficiently,
06:45we now have to chase every shadow and bump in the night,
06:48which is exactly what Zoe wants.
06:50All right, look, just go and check on Colleen
06:52and then come straight back.
06:53We've got a lot of work to do.
06:54Why don't we leave it till the morning?
06:55Because in the morning,
06:56I have to tell this whole town
06:57how we're handling this situation.
06:59Right now, we're not handling anything at all.
07:01Zoe's one step ahead of us.
07:12That was the worst night's sleep ever.
07:14It was actually a relief to hear the birds start.
07:16Yeah, speak for yourself.
07:18Oh, poor baby.
07:19What time did you get in?
07:20You know, I don't know.
07:21How did Peter expect you guys to do your job
07:23probably when he keeps you up all night working?
07:25I don't know, but it's going to stay that way
07:26until we catch Zoe.
07:28Do you think he's on top of this?
07:30Yeah, if anything, it's the adrenaline
07:32that keeps him going.
07:34So you're saying we're safe?
07:35Grandad, Sal, all of us?
07:36We're safe.
07:40The only thing worse than seeing your mum and dad pass
07:42is seeing your sister at it.
07:43Well, if it bothers you that much,
07:44you know where the door is.
07:46Actually, I was going to talk to you about that.
07:48You two getting married and all.
07:49I was thinking I should probably give you some space.
07:51You reckon I'd have to let me move into the apartment
07:52above the diner?
07:54Temporary, right?
07:54Hmm, I can't see why not.
07:56Yeah, don't feel as though you have to, though.
07:57There's plenty of room here.
07:58Thanks, mate,
07:59but this is only ever meant to be temporary anyway.
08:01Besides, I wouldn't want a little love nest in my own.
08:03Yeah, I knew that was ulterior motive.
08:04I'd better finish getting ready.
08:05Don't forget about the meeting at night.
08:07I'll be there.
08:08What about you, Maca?
08:09Are you coming?
08:09I'll see how I go.
08:10I've got a few things I need to sort out.
08:12All right.
08:20Hi, this is Cassie.
08:22Well, actually, it's my voicemail,
08:24so leave a message.
08:33You saw the videotape.
08:34She's targeting everyone that was involved the first time.
08:36What if she comes after Sally again?
08:38Well, you heard what Grandad said.
08:40He's not going to let anything happen on him,
08:41so we'll be fine.
08:42Yeah, but Zoe's already broken him once.
08:43She can easily get in again.
08:45Stop.
08:46You're just making it worse.
08:48Yeah, I'm sorry.
08:49I just...
08:50I couldn't handle it if anything happened, Rick.
08:52You guys are my family.
08:53You're all I've got.
08:53I don't know, I don't know.
08:54Look, we'll be fine, okay?
08:56Now that we know Zoe's about,
08:57we just...
08:58We have to be extra careful.
09:01It'll be okay.
09:06Is everything all right?
09:08Hey.
09:09I'm interrupting anything, am I?
09:11No, of course not.
09:13Cassie's just a bit freaked out
09:14about the whole Zoe thing.
09:16Right.
09:17I'm going to tell you last night not to worry.
09:20I'll go after you, babe.
09:25All right, guys, I'm going to...
09:26Okay, I'll see you later.
09:28Thanks, Rick.
09:28Thanks, Rick.
09:33Thanks, Rick.
09:54Have you even been home?
09:56I want to go home when it's so cosy here.
09:58Well, lucky for you, I have had some rest.
10:01And as I was waking up from my three hours sleep,
10:03I suddenly realised it's staring us in the face.
10:05What is?
10:06That engagement party was a surprise, right?
10:08By invite only?
10:09So?
10:10So, how did Zoe know to send the tape to the house
10:12exactly when everyone would be there?
10:13What are you saying?
10:14I'm saying that the only way Zoe could have found out
10:16about that party was from someone who got an invite.
10:19What, you think that someone we know is helping her?
10:21How else could she have found out about the party?
10:31I'm sorry, but I just cannot believe
10:32that any of those people at the party would want to help her.
10:34I can't believe or don't want to believe.
10:36Tracy, I know these people.
10:37There's no way that they would ever...
10:38That doesn't mean it's not possible.
10:39All of them are either friends or family, right?
10:41My friends and family.
10:42This is a tight little community.
10:44There is no way that those people would want to help her.
10:46That's exactly the mistake you made last time,
10:48thinking Zoe was part of this community, but she wasn't.
10:50And because you missed it, a lot of people suffered.
10:53Now, I might be wrong,
10:54but if there's even the slightest chance that I'm right,
10:56we have to entertain the possibility, don't we?
10:59Yes?
11:01Sorry to interrupt, but we're going to go.
11:02The meeting starts in 20.
11:03Okay.
11:05I'll give it some more thought.
11:15Hello, love.
11:17Oh, sweetie, you look about as tired as I feel.
11:19No, I got more sleep when Pippa was just home from the hospital.
11:22Let's grab a seat down the front before they all go, Anna.
11:27Have I missed anything?
11:28No, it hasn't even started.
11:30You're fine.
11:30Oh, well, I don't feel fine.
11:32Running around all the time,
11:33looking over my shoulder,
11:34knowing that any minute could be my last.
11:36Oh, Linda, let's just find a seat.
11:37Yeah, that's a good idea.
11:38I'm exhausted.
11:39I've never had such a terrible night my whole life.
11:41Oh, except when I was in labour with Lansie,
11:43and they gave me so many drugs,
11:45I thought that the doctor was a giant white rabbit
11:47chasing me with a spatula.
11:49I think you'll be all right, Maca.
11:50Hey, let's go.
11:51Wait, no, I'm okay.
11:52Where's Cassie?
11:53I thought I told you to stick together.
11:55No, she's with Maca.
11:56There you go.
11:56She's fine, love.
11:57She'll be okay.
11:59Oh, God.
12:00How much longer can these jokers keep us waiting?
12:02What's going on, Peter?
12:03About Zoe.
12:04Come out here.
12:05Peter, do you actually know where Zoe is?
12:08I will answer all of your questions in a moment.
12:10If you could please just settle down,
12:11we can get started.
12:17How cool is this?
12:19I can't believe our pilot was heading for.
12:22It's all the house, babe.
12:23It's just you and me.
12:24Our own little piece of heaven.
12:27Well, if you squint, maybe.
12:30Hey, I thought you'd be stoked.
12:32Sorry, it's just...
12:33Zoe, right?
12:35I told you, you've got nothing to worry about.
12:37Besides, I can handle black-eyed chicks.
12:38I've had years of practice.
12:40It's not a joke, Maca.
12:42When Zoe kidnapped Sally that night,
12:43Rick and I didn't know if we were ever going to see her again.
12:46I know, but you didn't have me around then.
12:47And you do now,
12:48and I promise you nothing bad's going to happen.
12:50You don't know her, Maca.
12:51You don't know what she's capable of.
12:53Why can't you just let it go?
12:54Why are you getting upset at me?
12:56I'm not getting upset.
12:57I just...
12:58I just don't see you like this, that's all.
13:00Sorry, it's all been a bit of a shock.
13:03I know.
13:04You don't have to worry, okay?
13:05Peter will take care of it.
13:06The town meeting.
13:07I completely forgot.
13:08We've got to go.
13:16Come on!
13:24You said you were going to give us answers.
13:26All I've heard so far is you dodging questions.
13:28I'm not dodging anything.
13:29I can only tell you as much as I know.
13:31Which ain't a hell of a lot if you ask me.
13:32What I can tell you is that we've got every available officer out there looking for Zoe.
13:37We will continue to make our presence felt in and around the bay until we find her.
13:40Yeah, and what about reinforcements, eh?
13:41What's going on there?
13:42We've managed to second officers from Mangrove River and Reefs and Lakes.
13:45Additional support is also being sent down from the city.
13:48We also plan to step up foot patrols.
13:50There'll be officers walking every street in town around the clock.
13:53Well, is there anything we can do?
13:54Just keep your eyes and ears open, okay?
13:57If you do happen to see or hear anything suspicious, then call us.
14:00If you do see Zoe, do not under any circumstances make any attempt to approach her, okay?
14:06One phone call and we'll be there in a matter of minutes.
14:09The most important thing, folks, is to stay calm.
14:11Keep your wits about you.
14:13Remember, this is one woman against a whole bunch of very highly trained and dedicated police officers.
14:17If we all stick together and look after each other, then none of you are in any immediate...
14:23Stay here!
14:23No one move!
14:25Oh, what the hell is that?
14:52What have you got?
14:53No one witnessed the actual explosion.
14:54What about the car?
14:55Do anyone see it being driven in here?
14:57I can ask around again.
14:58I spoke to forensics half an hour ago.
15:00Look, get on the radio and find out where they are, okay?
15:06Anything?
15:08How many people knew about this meeting?
15:10Well, not many.
15:11Only the people at the party and whoever they may have mentioned it to.
15:13Zoe, perhaps?
15:15Someone's feeding her information, Peter.
15:16It's the only way.
15:18Jack?
15:19Let's hit forensics about 15 minutes away.
15:21Listen, I want you to go inside and speak to Beth
15:23and get all the names of the people at your party last night, okay?
15:25I want a list of everyone that was invited and anyone who couldn't make it.
15:28Why?
15:28Just do it, right?
15:30Do you think that Zoe's in this with someone we know?
15:34Peter, every person that was in that room last night is a friend of mine or Martha's, okay?
15:38There is no way that they...
15:39Don't you think I know that?
15:39Well, then why are we doing this?
15:40Because we need to find Zoe, right?
15:42She happens to know every single move that we make.
15:45I want those names, Jack.
15:56It was a bomb, just like the one at the country house.
15:59Oh, and please be quiet.
16:01You're upsetting everyone.
16:02I'm telling you, Zoe's got it in for all of us.
16:04Everything is going to be all right.
16:06Peter is on top of it.
16:07Well, it didn't sound like Detective Baker was on top of everything to me.
16:10Colleen, please.
16:11Look, I'm sorry if I'm upsetting anybody, but I want some answers.
16:15Please, Colleen.
16:17Jack, can you tell us what is going on?
16:19Was it a bomb?
16:20There was an explosion in a vehicle.
16:21It was a bomb.
16:22At this stage, we don't know what caused it.
16:24Cars don't normally explode by themselves.
16:26Yeah, you must know something.
16:26Peter's going to be in to answer all your questions in a moment, but please don't panic.
16:31Oh, well, it's easy for him to say.
16:32There's a mad bomber on the loose, and we're expected to stay.
16:35Colleen, please.
16:40You okay?
16:42Don't worry about Colleen.
16:43She's just freaking out a bit.
16:44Yeah, well, she's not the only one.
16:46Look, we'll get through this, okay?
16:48There's no point worrying about Zoe.
16:49That's exactly what she wants.
16:51Besides, I'm going to be strong for Sal.
16:53Yeah, you're right.
16:56Don't mind me.
16:58What?
16:58We were just talking...
16:59Like I said before, it would want to interrupt.
17:00Here's your order.
17:03Macau?
17:06Seemed to have upset him.
17:07No, it's not you.
17:08He's been weird on morning.
17:09I should probably go.
17:11Sorry.
17:13Names?
17:14Of who?
17:15All the people who came to the party last night.
17:17Also everyone that was invited but didn't turn up.
17:20But why?
17:22So much for trying to keep them calm.
17:24I thought they were going to lynch me there for a minute.
17:26You handled it really well.
17:27Don't let it get to you.
17:28Has there been any word from forensics?
17:30They're still working on the car
17:31but it turns out that the explosion was a lot stronger
17:33than they originally thought
17:34so the chance of them finding any forensic evidence
17:36is pretty slim, you know?
17:37It's just like a dead end, yes?
17:39We tracked down the courier who delivered the tape.
17:41And?
17:42He said he was instructed to pick a package up from the bus stop
17:44but he didn't have any direct contact with the client.
17:46Was the courier legit?
17:47Yeah, he's been with them five years.
17:49Okay, what about the client? Did they give a name?
17:50Yeah, Maxine Trude.
17:52Thank you, Constable.
17:55Maxine Trude, that name has got to mean something.
17:58Maybe that's just what she wants us to think.
18:00Maybe it's just more smoke and mirrors.
18:02No, no, it's more than that.
18:02Zoe's trying to tell us something.
18:04Peter, we've been over this.
18:05Yes, I know, but it's the only lead that we've got on Zoe, okay?
18:07So we're going to keep going over it and over it again
18:09until we work out what it means.
18:31Hey, when someone doesn't answer the door,
18:33it usually means I don't want company.
18:36What is your problem?
18:37My problem?
18:38Yes, why did you just go off at Rick and me?
18:41I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break up your cosy little chat.
18:44We've talked about that.
18:45You know what my family's going through right now.
18:48So I'm the one being rude.
18:49This is all my fault, is it?
18:51Yeah, actually it is.
18:52You're unbelievable, Cass.
18:56Macca, what's going on?
18:57You tell me.
18:58Every time I turn around, you and Rick are all over each other.
19:00We're supporting each other, he's family.
19:02He's your ex-boyfriend.
19:04But that's got nothing to do with this.
19:05Really?
19:06Yes.
19:07How many times do I have to say it?
19:09My family needs me.
19:10Can't you understand that?
19:11What about what I need?
19:12It's nice to be a couple, Cass,
19:13but you're so busy worrying about your family
19:15that I'm getting nothing.
19:15That's not true.
19:16Well, that's how it seems to me.
19:19This is ridiculous.
19:19I can't even believe we're having this conversation.
19:22You know what?
19:23You're absolutely right.
19:24Why don't we forget about it then, eh?
19:25Too easy.
19:39Here it is.
19:40All the names of the people that were invited to the party.
19:43Beth wasn't too pleased.
19:44Why not?
19:44Because she thinks it's ridiculous
19:46that someone in the town is helping Zoe.
19:47Are you sure this is everyone?
19:48Everyone that the invite went out to, yeah.
19:50Okay, thanks.
19:52So there were other people at the party?
19:55Yeah, it's a small town.
19:57Word gets out.
19:57There's no way of knowing how many people were invited.
19:59Maybe not, but it's a start.
20:01Do any of the names stand out to you?
20:03Macca.
20:03Only because you don't know them.
20:05Exactly.
20:05He's Martha's brother.
20:06It's a pretty far stretch to think
20:07that my new brother-in-law is helping Zoe.
20:09We have to look at every possibility, okay?
20:11Oh, come on, Peter.
20:11Listen to yourself.
20:13You've got nothing.
20:14You're drawing straws.
20:15I mean, it's a joke.
20:16Have you got any better suggestions?
20:18Look, the fact is that Zoe is getting her information
20:20from somewhere, right?
20:21And if it's not one of these people,
20:22it's got to be somewhere else.
20:24Somewhere closer to home.
20:40The stalker turned this town upside down.
20:42She almost killed Sally last year,
20:44and I'm really scared that she might try to hurt her again.
20:46But this time...
20:47You've got to be kidding me!
20:49Will they be one step ahead of her?
20:51She doesn't know that we're here.
20:51Will tomorrow be the night they finally catch the stalker?
20:55We'll wait and see the look on her face
20:56when she walks through that door.
20:57Home and Away at 7.
