00:00Are you all right?
00:30Forever closer each day
00:34Home and away
00:58Hey, Rachel, wait up.
01:01I'm guessing this is the last place you want to be tonight.
01:04No, I'm looking forward to it.
01:05I'm keeping busy thinking about something other than Brad and Sally's wedding.
01:09How's your brother holding up?
01:11No, he's not good.
01:13He's heartbroken.
01:14He's humiliated and angry.
01:16Everything that you would expect.
01:18How about you?
01:20I don't know why it's hit me so hard.
01:23It's not as if Mum and I were close.
01:25Not knowing she died till ten weeks later
01:27kind of says it all.
01:29I can't understand why it took so long.
01:31Yeah, well, I have no idea
01:33what address the nursing home had
01:34but whatever it was
01:36I've probably moved half a dozen times since then
01:38and had as many phones.
01:41She always rejected any attempt I made to stay in contact.
01:45Still, it's terrible.
01:48Makes you think, doesn't it?
01:50It could be you and me down the track.
01:53Um, Mum, we won't end up like that.
01:55Come here.
01:57I heard Brad's taken a few days off school.
01:59Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to be at work.
02:02No, especially when someone's there too.
02:04Amber, my daughter,
02:05opens all the kids are talking about it.
02:07Laura, you can't possibly be old enough
02:09to have a daughter in high school.
02:11Except daughter Apley from Colin's first marriage.
02:14Oh, Jack, I'm flattered.
02:15For Sam.
02:16We're going on a special dinner.
02:17Well, you just missed her.
02:19She asked about ten minutes ago.
02:20Oh, bye.
02:22That'll be her now.
02:25Hey, you.
02:25You'll never guess where I am.
02:28Rory?
02:28Mum's lost it, Jack.
02:29Can you please come home?
02:31Okay, I'm on my way, mate.
02:32Just try and take it easy until I get there.
02:37So, Brad's definitely gone up the coast?
02:40Apparently.
02:41But he hasn't been in touch with Sel
02:43or anyone else as far as we know.
02:44Well, not even his sister.
02:46No, well, Sel still doesn't like to ring Rachel
02:49after they're running.
02:50And what about you, Alfred?
02:53Well, I'm still hoping that things
02:55will get back to normal eventually.
02:57Although I'm not holding a breath.
02:59Well, I think it's going to take a while
03:00before Brad can get over everything.
03:03Well, how's Jazz taking it?
03:04She's pretty cut up.
03:06Really threw me.
03:07She was really lucky to have a mum around that long, no?
03:10That they weren't exactly talking,
03:12it would have come as a bit of a shock.
03:14That's so sad.
03:16Yeah, I think mum's feeling pretty guilty
03:19because the funeral was a couple of months ago,
03:20so there's not even that to go to.
03:23I actually thought your grandmother
03:24had already passed away.
03:26Really? What was that?
03:27Oh, the pendant I lost at a concert.
03:29Jazz said that your grandmother left it to her.
03:32I don't know, maybe it was my stepdad's mum.
03:35Look, I'm going to hang out with mum in the morning
03:36so I won't get to see you before sunrise.
03:38Oh, no, that's fine.
03:40If there's anything I can do...
03:44So, once you've divulged what's in the will,
03:47just take your cues from me.
03:49I assume we'll be doing this at your place.
03:51Yeah, but not till the afternoon.
03:53I hope it's been worth it.
03:55Excuse me?
03:56Crawling up to your son for the last three months.
03:58This was never about the money, Dane.
04:00I have done nothing wrong.
04:02Legally, no.
04:03Morally, well.
04:05Drew and I will both get a decent share
04:06if everything goes smoothly.
04:09Sure.
04:10These last few months,
04:11my whole relationship with Drew's changed.
04:14He really cares about me now.
04:17It's been worth every minute.
04:19Well, in that case,
04:20I hope Drew doesn't find out
04:21about your little game, Jazz.
04:24Just be at my place tomorrow afternoon.
04:27You're not going.
04:28Yes, I am.
04:29Alone.
04:30Come on, Jazz.
04:31Have dinner with me.
04:32I'm really tired, Dane.
04:39Can I get another scotch, please?
04:40Double.
04:44Jack, is that you?
04:48Where have you been?
04:49I was expecting you home ages ago.
04:51I went to the hospital looking for you.
04:53What's wrong?
04:55Rory, can you put these in water, sweetheart?
04:58Thanks.
04:59What's up?
05:01Someone was stalking me at work.
05:03What?
05:03They were following me in the car park
05:04when I left to come home.
05:06If the security guy hadn't shown up,
05:08I don't know anything could have happened.
05:09Did you actually see someone, though?
05:11I heard footsteps behind me.
05:13I could feel him there.
05:15What did security say?
05:16He said he was going to check things out,
05:18but I didn't stick around.
05:19I just wanted to get home.
05:21It was that old feeling again of not being safe.
05:24Oh, come here.
05:28You didn't actually see anyone?
05:31I heard him.
05:32There was someone there.
05:35Don't you believe me?
05:36It's not that I don't believe you.
05:38It's just I know how on edge you've been lately,
05:40you know, with the whole divorce situation.
05:43And you've been feeling insecure.
05:45What are you talking about?
05:48Maybe this reminds you of back when you felt unsafe about Shane.
05:52I didn't imagine it, Jack.
05:54Well, I'm not saying that you did.
06:02You coming, Rach?
06:03Uh, no, I think I'm going to be a while now.
06:05But if we're not going to go together,
06:06make sure you give me a escort from the security guard.
06:08See you tomorrow.
06:08Bye.
06:09What do you need?
06:10I really appreciate this.
06:12I'm so excited.
06:16I'm so excited.
06:16I'm so excited.
06:17I'm so excited.
06:17I'm so excited.
06:18I'm so excited.
06:19I'm so excited.
06:19I'm so excited.
06:26I'm so excited.
06:57I'm so excited.
07:01Is there a legal convention in town?
07:03Watch out.
07:04They'll have our photos in the local paper tomorrow.
07:07And what, pray till, brings you to Summer Bay, Mr. Jordan?
07:10Business or pleasure?
07:11Well, I was hoping for a bit of both.
07:14I'm going to have to read a will tomorrow for a very attractive client.
07:17There's also an interesting party.
07:20Anyone I know?
07:21I very much doubt it.
07:23Oh, well, seems straightforward enough.
07:25Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:26Just a greedy relative trying to screw a son out of his inheritance.
07:30Really?
07:31But, hey, that's why we're on the big bucks.
07:34Cheers.
07:35Indeed.
07:38I'm sorry.
07:39I don't know what to say.
07:41Nothing really helps, does it?
07:43You don't have to say anything.
07:45Just having you guys here is enough.
07:48Must be kind of weird not having a funeral for closure, I mean.
07:52Yeah, it is.
07:55The strangest thing is I always imagined that we'd make our peace before she...
07:59Well, before now.
08:03Well, why don't we hold a memorial service down at the beach and you can say a few words.
08:08That's very sweet, but I don't think so.
08:11Are you sure it might be nice to acknowledge her in some kind of way?
08:14It's a great idea, but it'd feel forced.
08:17I have my memories, most of them bad.
08:23I can't pretend she was anything other than what she was, but I don't want to say mean-spirited
08:29things about her now she's gone, either.
08:33Thanks for trying to cheer me up.
08:34The best thing I can do is go home and have an early night.
08:40See you, Mum.
08:40Bye.
08:52Oh, my God.
08:54Oh, my God, Gloria?
08:56Gloria, can you hear me?
08:57Gloria?
08:59I've called for help.
09:00What happened, sweetheart?
09:02All right, you just lie still, all right?
09:04I'm going to check you over.
09:05You're okay.
09:05You're safe now.
09:15Are you going to be all right here tonight while I'm at work?
09:18If I said no, would you cancel your shift?
09:21No, so I ask.
09:24I can.
09:25I will, if you don't feel safe in this house.
09:29Really?
09:29Yeah, I'll give them a call now.
09:32No, it's okay.
09:33I don't want you to miss your shift.
09:36I'm starting to calm down anyway.
09:40You never did tell me your exciting news.
09:43This morning, you said you had a surprise for me.
09:46Oh, it's not important now.
09:48In fact, I don't know how we're going to keep organising and talking about this wedding when you're still married
09:53to Martha.
09:54It's a legal technicality.
09:56Legal technicality?
09:57You're going to marriage counselling, Jack.
09:59That's totally emotional.
10:01Yeah, only because I have to.
10:03Yeah, I was thinking I was engaged to a single guy and it turned out you're a married man.
10:08Sam, I'm doing everything I can to get unmarried.
10:10Okay, this is, it's just a compulsory part of the process, that's all.
10:15You better get that.
10:16It might be your wife.
10:18Again.
10:20I'm going to go to bed.
10:22Can you lock the door when you leave?
10:24Yep.
10:25Hey Fitz, what are you doing?
10:27I'm not doing for another 15.
10:30When was this?
10:42Is she going to be all right?
10:43Yeah, she's just got a mild concussion, some bruising and some superficial lacerations.
10:50When can I interview her?
10:52Not tonight.
10:53Her husband and daughter have just left.
10:54She'll probably sleep through it till morning.
10:56You found her, right?
10:57Did she say anything?
10:59No, just that she was attacked from behind.
11:01But what I can tell you is, the overhead light was taken out.
11:04It's the same scenario as Julie.
11:08There could have been Sam in there.
11:09Hey, what do you mean?
11:11Sam thought that she was followed tonight in the car park.
11:14Really?
11:14Well, that was hours ago.
11:15Yeah, I know.
11:16I should have called you to let you know about it.
11:17So he was just waiting for another opportunity?
11:20Which means his choice of who he attacks may be random.
11:24Although I will need to talk to Gloria first about her contacts last 24 hours.
11:28See what shows up.
11:28I feel terrible.
11:29I was on my way out with Gloria.
11:30I got called back in.
11:31And I just don't know why she didn't wait for a security guard.
11:34Can you show me exactly where it happened?
11:36Yeah.
11:37The sooner you find this guy, the better.
11:40Rach, I know that this looks as though the same person who attacked Julie did this.
11:44But if you could just keep that to yourself and turn over, sure.
11:52So, can I ask?
11:54Why did you and your mother hate each other so much?
11:59Well, I wasn't the daughter she wanted.
12:01Simple as that.
12:03My mother wanted a decorative object with no opinions.
12:07Bad luck, Grandma.
12:09We clashed right from my earliest memory.
12:11The older I got, the worse it was.
12:13I got in with the wrong crowd and turned into your textbook teenage rebel.
12:18Right, so that's where I got it from.
12:20When it comes to rebellion, I could run rings around you, darling.
12:24The final straw was when I got pregnant with you.
12:28She just lost it and threw me out.
12:31That was the end, really.
12:35Was she worth a bit?
12:37She was, but I'm sure it's been dissipated now with nursing home fees and whatever else.
12:43But if she had money, did she ever help you out?
12:45I never saw any of it.
12:48I only ever asked her for money once in my whole life.
12:52You were 18 months old and we were really struggling.
12:56And she turned me down flat.
12:58I said it was for you and she said she couldn't care less and hung up.
13:02That's harsh.
13:03Yeah.
13:05So I think it's about time we got something from her.
13:07Sounds like you deserve it.
13:10I needed to hear that.
13:12Well, it's only fair.
13:13If it was you, I'd want the same thing.
13:16It's sad, isn't it?
13:18Miss Curtis just found out her mum died.
13:21It was weeks ago and nobody even knew about it.
13:25Really?
13:37Want some more toast, mum?
13:39No, thanks, V. I'm feeling much better.
13:41I had a good sleep.
13:43Oh, Rachel left this to you when she went to work.
13:51Well, what did she say?
13:53Sticky bitch.
13:54She wants me to ring him later.
13:58Hey, mum's okay.
13:59I made her breakfast.
14:00Well, good on you, mate.
14:02Hi, Annie.
14:02Hi.
14:04Rory, do you want to go now?
14:05Bell's waiting.
14:05Yep.
14:07See you, mum.
14:08Hi.
14:09See ya.
14:09See you, guys.
14:10See you, Jack.
14:14You look worn out.
14:16Yeah, I am.
14:18It was a bad night.
14:20Hey, I wanted to talk to you.
14:21Oh, me first.
14:23It's important.
14:24I've been thinking things through and you're right.
14:28The main thing is we fast track the divorce and whatever legal hoops we have to get through,
14:33counselling, whatever we'll get through it.
14:35I couldn't agree more.
14:36But I need you to promise me to start telling me the truth from now on.
14:39No more lying to protect me, okay?
14:42I will.
14:42And I'm sorry.
14:45I've been proudly announcing our engagement to anyone who will listen and I don't know
14:49what to say now.
14:50I feel like such an idiot.
14:51Yeah, me too.
14:52Don't.
14:53We'll keep it quiet and get it back on track.
14:55I think you were right about the divorce bringing up old insecurities.
14:59I think I was overreacting at the car park.
15:01I probably wasn't being followed.
15:06What?
15:09That's what I wanted to tell you.
15:11You didn't imagine it, Sam.
15:14Now, the security guidelines are in place, but we're not following them.
15:17And I'm as guilty as anyone.
15:18So please, from now on, wait for a security guard to escort you to your vehicle, okay?
15:23Thanks, everyone.
15:27Hey, you heard.
15:29Yeah, Jack told me.
15:30Where's Gloria?
15:30She's just right here.
15:36Hey.
15:38How are you feeling?
15:39Oh, I've been better.
15:40I'm sore, aching, better life.
15:42So you thought that you were being followed after you left yesterday?
15:45Yeah, I heard footsteps and I felt on air.
15:49I should have called and warned you guys.
15:51I'm sorry.
15:52I securely looked around and didn't see anyone.
15:54What else could you do?
15:55Did you get a look at him?
15:57No, he grabbed me from behind.
15:59Next thing I know, I was on the ground.
16:01He was hitting me.
16:03I thought he was going through.
16:06Gloria's husband and daughter are back.
16:08Sure.
16:09Um, we're going to leave you to it then.
16:11Now, listen, the police want to see you a bit later if you feel up to answering questions.
16:15Yeah, I don't know how much help got me, but yeah.
16:17I'll come back later if you need anything.
16:19Just call out, okay?
16:25What sort of sick guy gets off on attacking the women in the dark?
16:29I don't know, but we need to keep our eyes open.
16:31Whoever it was out there was in the car park for ages.
16:34Somebody must have seen him.
16:35He obviously doesn't look out of place.
16:37Are you saying you think it's someone who works in the hospital?
16:40No, no, no.
16:42I'm saying it could be.
16:43We just need to be really vigilant.
16:53Um, tell me, how does Drew get on with his mother?
16:57Why the flame in hell would you want to know that?
16:59Oh, I have my reasons.
17:01Well, I've got to say, I didn't exactly warm to her when she first arrived.
17:05And I know Drew couldn't stand a bar of her.
17:08But, to give her a juke, she's hung in there and now they seem to be getting on all right.
17:13And why exactly didn't you warm to her?
17:17Well, from where I stood,
17:19Chas seemed to be the sort of person that was very interested in looking after herself first, second and third.
17:25But I might be being a bit harsh.
17:27Oh, harsh you never.
17:29What are you up to, woman?
17:31Well, that man I was talking to in the bar last night is a solicitor.
17:35And, um, he was bragging in his cups that a client of his is trying to rip off her son's
17:40inheritance.
17:40And I was intrigued as to who that might be.
17:42Well, that bloke's been hanging around a bit the last couple of weeks.
17:45And I've got to say that he and Chas are more than just good mates, if you get my drift.
17:49Nice to know my instincts haven't deserted me.
17:52So you think Chas might be his client?
17:54Look, she's no saint, but I doubt she'd stoop that low.
17:58Oh, well, could be wrong.
18:00Stranger things have happened.
18:04Thank you, Julie.
18:05I knew you'd be on side.
18:07All right, bye.
18:10Hey, Sam, do you have a second to help me with these phone calls?
18:13I'm trying to organise a meeting on staff security.
18:15Sure, anything will help.
18:16You don't have anything else you need to do?
18:18Of course you do.
18:18You have an engagement party to plan.
18:20No, actually, that's...
18:21Oh, Jack, are you here to speak to Gloria?
18:23Not right now, but I did want to bring you both up to speed.
18:26Sure.
18:29Last night's attack, the time, the method, the evidence of planning, knocking out the light earlier that day, for example,
18:35they all mirror the attack on Julie Cooper.
18:38We're now fairly certain the same offender carried out both attacks.
18:42The issue for us is, despite getting a scare when security came to Sam's defence, they still attack Gloria, which
18:50means they're getting bolder.
18:52So what, you think there's going to be more?
18:53It definitely seems that way.
18:55And he's targeting the women in this hospital.
19:06Ow!
19:07Drew, we'd better head off.
19:08We have to make the solicitor in an hour.
19:10Mum, there's plenty of time, right, so just relax and chill out.
19:14Hey, I thought I'd grab a juice before we headed up to the house.
19:18Well, why don't we do the wilting here?
19:20I mean, we're all here, it's private enough, and no-one's going to bother us.
19:23I'll see you later, then.
19:24No, no, no, stay.
19:25All right.
19:26You're part of the family, too.
19:27I mean, it's no big deal.
19:28It's not going to take long.
19:29No, it's OK.
19:30I'll see you later.
19:31You can tell me about it.
19:32See ya.
19:32All right, let's get started.
19:37All right.
19:39I should mention that I've actually read the will already.
19:42Jazz, as your mother's executor, you might like to glance through this before we begin.
19:47Well, it should be pretty simple, shouldn't it?
19:49My father died years ago.
19:51I'll be the sole beneficiary.
19:53Well, I'm sorry, Jazz.
19:54This might come as a bit of a shock, but you're not actually mentioned in the will at all.
19:58That can't be right.
20:00I'm afraid of this.
20:01No, that woman put mum through hell.
20:02I mean, she can't do this.
20:03It's not fair.
20:04Who did she leave the money to?
20:06She left it to you, Drew.
20:08Every last cent.
20:15It won't be easy coming back to Summer Bay after Sally left him at the altar.
20:21His world is spiraling out of control.
20:24And as he hits rock bottom, will he take an innocent life with him?
20:32Home and Away continues weeknights at seven.
20:35Somebody help!
20:36And soon, on Home and Away, trapped, but not alone.
