00:01You'll be safe so long as you stay in here. The rest of the house is obviously off limits.
00:06I've written down the hours they usually keep, but they're only estimates, okay?
00:09And I've drawn a map as well of the house.
00:12Need a thought, eh? A good copper's wife.
00:14You hold up your end of the bargain, you'll have your life back in no time.
00:17Tom showed me something about Leah, and she was so upset.
00:23Pepper, he wouldn't tell me why.
00:25Oh, Leah, are you alright?
00:27Who's dead? What?
00:29Dan, he's dead.
00:37We belong together
00:41You and I forever and ever
00:45No matter where you are
00:49You're my guiding star
00:53Hold me in your arms
00:56Don't let me go
00:59I want to stay forever
01:02Close to each day
01:04Home and away
01:09Look, maybe there's been some kind of mistake.
01:14Um, hello?
01:16Yes, my name is Maureen Bellingham.
01:17Sweetheart, how about we try and get up, eh?
01:19Yeah, it's dead.
01:22Oh
01:23Oh
01:24Um, look, Aureen, I'll close up here. Why don't you check Leah home?
01:28Um, sweetheart, please
01:31Why don't we stand up, eh?
01:32I'll take you home.
01:34Please, love
01:38Oh, cheers
01:38Oh
01:39Ah, the usual?
01:40Yes, please
01:41Wow, you look a little tired. You've had a tough day.
01:43Yeah, I had a double shift
01:44Ow
01:45How's Sal doing?
01:46Yeah, physically she's making really good recovery
01:49But tonight her spirit seemed a bit down
01:51Well, is there any reason for that?
01:53I don't know, there's obviously something worrying about
01:55She didn't want to talk about it
01:56But Pippa's with us and maybe she can open up to her
01:59Yeah, well I'll slip in and see you tomorrow
02:00See how she's getting on
02:01I should appreciate that, thank you
02:04Hey, listen, um
02:06I've got the house to myself tonight
02:07If you want to come over and maybe get some takeaway
02:11Yeah, sounds good
02:11Really?
02:12Do you want to switch to red?
02:14Sure, why not?
02:15Okay, excuse me Alf
02:16Any chance of getting a nice bottle of Top Shelf Red?
02:19Oh mate, I don't know that we do nice
02:22We do a good expense of that
02:23I'll have a dig around and see if I can find something that won't melt your credit card
02:26Cheers
02:28Mmm, Top Shelf
02:31Wow, good friends deserve good wine
02:39That's the beauty of their combination, so I tell you never quite know what you're going to end up with
02:43I see, the girl likes living dangerously
02:45Sometimes, what about you?
02:47Oh yeah, I have my moments
02:48Hey, what's Sam's artwork like?
02:50I don't know, I've never seen it
02:51She's one of these don't look at my work in progress types
02:53We're under strict orders not to get in there
02:55Oh, how would she know if you did?
02:57Uh, she wouldn't because we're not going to
03:00Oh, come on, you said you have your moments, just a little look
03:02Rachel, moments of gravity, not stupidity, okay? I'm not going to take on my daughter-in-law
03:07Fair enough
03:22Well, judging by the fancy bottle of wine they're left here with, I'd say she's having a flash dinner somewhere
03:26with Tony
03:27Yeah, I figured as much, Tony's phone's turned off too
03:31Love, if you do see them again, can you please get Rachel to call me?
03:34Irene, what's going on?
03:36Oh, love, I hate telling you this over the phone, but there's been an accident
03:44Dan's dead
03:46He was on a camp and, I don't know, he was abseiling and something went wrong
03:52Yeah, um, look, if there's anything I can do
03:55Yeah, thanks for that, love
03:57Uh, look, I better go
04:00Okay, bye
04:06I'll get you to bed
04:07I'll get you to bed
04:20I'll get you to bed
04:29Okay
04:33What are we going to do? It's as if she's not even there
04:36Oh, I am just going to keep ringing around
04:38If I have to ring every flippin' restaurant in the district
04:41I've got to get hold of Rachel
04:43I honestly don't know who to believe
04:46Well, you know, my thoughts on Aidan Jeffries
04:48I don't think I could trust him as far as I could throw him
04:50Doesn't mean he did anything wrong though
04:51And he was so drunk she can't really remember anything
04:53Yeah, well, it doesn't mean it was her fault
04:55She'd never been in trouble before
04:56That we know of
04:57And even if she hasn't, there's always a first time
05:00Oh, the way she and her brother have been brought up?
05:02Jeff's had his fair share of acting out
05:05You're really not fond of losing an argument, are you?
05:07Well, that was because I'm always right
05:23Maybe we should eat, eh?
05:25Sure, yes, that's an idea
05:33All the poor girl could do is just keep repeating
05:36He's dead, he's dead
05:38You'd reckon handling this sort of stuff
05:40It'd get easier as you get older, wouldn't you?
05:42Oh, Lord knows we've had enough experience, haven't we?
05:47You know, sis, I'd never want to live anywhere else
05:49But sometimes I can't help thinking that the gods have got it in for this town
05:57What?
05:58Sally
06:00What about Sally?
06:01Well, this is what she was worried about
06:05The square up
06:07Someone had to go in her place
06:12You haven't been very good with these sticks
06:14You can use a book, you know
06:15Oh, yeah, date two and you're going to start thinking I'm a klutz
06:19Hang on, so this is a date?
06:22No, no, no, it's just two people enjoying each other's company
06:24Yeah, right
06:26However, if it was a date, I'd say it's going pretty well
06:30But not being a date makes it a lot safer, doesn't it?
06:34Yeah, is that okay?
06:35The fact that we've taken it easy since that first dinner?
06:39Yeah, I think this way, it's just happening, there's no trying
06:43There's less stress
06:46What was that?
06:48Uh, the answering machine
06:51I turned it down
06:56Hi Tony
06:57It's Irene here
06:58Love, sorry to bother you
07:00But if Rachel's with you when you get this message
07:02Could you please get her to give me a call, please?
07:08Just a little pet
07:11I put plenty of sugar in it, they say it's good for shock
07:21I don't know what else to do
07:24Me either, love
07:25She needs a doctor
07:27And I've just about run out of ideas of where Rachel might be
07:31I'm going to call the kids
07:33They'd hate to be off having a good time knowing that this has happened
07:36I'll call Drew
07:43Sweetheart, do you want to talk to him?
07:46To anyone?
07:49Well look, I'm going to ring him
07:50So if you do decide you want to speak to him, you let me know
07:54I'm sure he'd love to hear your voice
07:58Just a little pet
08:06Okay, to a fun, relaxing, on-date
08:10Want to drink to that?
08:13Mmm
08:15Half knows his wines?
08:16Yeah, he said this one ages nicely
08:18Mmm
08:20So, you don't mind a mature drop then?
08:23Sorry, sorry, that did not come out very subtly did it?
08:29What, are you, are you really worried about our age difference?
08:32No, no, no, no, not at all
08:33Oh, I'm so convinced by that
08:36Okay, I was just wondering whether it bothered you actually
08:40And whether or not
08:41Well good, because it doesn't
08:43In fact, I think you find that
08:46I can be very progressive myself
08:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, what was that?
08:55I was kind of thinking about something else, actually
08:58Oh, it sounded like it just came from outside
09:00Hold that, hold that, will you?
09:02Yes
09:04Maybe it's Sam
09:05Just come to check you're not looking at a paint
09:07She's not coming over tonight
09:20There you go, getting old, I'm even hearing things
09:23Stop it, I want to check your messages while you're up
09:26Sure
09:30Hi Tony, it's Irene
09:32Sorry to bother you, but if Rachel's with you when you get this
09:34Could you please get her to give me a call, please?
09:37I think that'll be about Annie, she's already called about three or four times today
09:40You don't mind if I give her a quick call a bit later?
09:42No, no, no, not at all
09:46So, what were you saying about being progressive?
09:54How long do you think it'll be before you and Belle get here?
09:57I don't know, they said they were turning around and coming back straight away
10:01I just can't hang around here doing nothing
10:03Oh, I know
10:05Look, why don't you go and tidy up the toys, that'd be great
10:08I should go
10:11CJ, I need to check on him
10:12No sweetie, I need to go
10:14No darling, listen to me
10:15He needs me, I have to go
10:17He's all I've got for him
10:18And he's my son
10:19And he's all I've got for him
10:22I don't mind going there first thing in the morning to break the news to her
10:36I just don't know what I'll say if she reckons she's responsible
10:40Which she will, of course
10:42But given what you've been through, Alf
10:44She's more likely to listen to you than anyone else, even me
10:48I can't believe you're having this discussion
10:50What Sally needs now more than anything else is common sense
10:54Not this near-death nonsense
10:56Fair go sis, I only know what I know
10:58Yeah, my point exactly
10:59Well what if me and Sal are right?
11:01You are not
11:02Now your heavenly chats with Elsa are the result of your brain tumour
11:06And Sally's pleasant morning with Tom came after she'd been administered drugs for an operation
11:13Except, on that pleasant morning, Tom told Sally something that she couldn't possibly have known
11:18And it's something that we've since proved as true
11:20Oh such as?
11:21Well, I'm not at liberty to say, it's a private matter
11:24Oh, how convenient
11:26You know, I'm not hearing anything that can't be explained by chance
11:29Or Sally's subconscious reaching conclusions whilst under an aesthetic
11:33Except that Tom did suggest there might be a death attached to Leah
11:36How do you explain that?
11:39Coincidence
11:39I have to be a flaming big one
11:46I got Vijay and little Pippa back off to sleep
11:50Do you think Dr Armstrong will get the message tonight?
11:53How do I know that, Colleen?
11:55Oh love, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
11:58Do you think we should call an ambulance?
12:00She needs a friend at the moment as well as a doctor
12:02That's why we're waiting for Rachel to come
12:04We have to do something, Irene
12:06A trip to the hospital couldn't hurt
12:09You could take her
12:16Leah, love
12:19We're gonna go for a drive
12:21To the hospital
12:22Get you something to calm you down
12:24I'll look after the littleies, you won't have to worry about them
12:27Okay, come on sweetheart
12:29Look, it's okay, it's Irene
12:32Come on love, we're going
12:36Come on
12:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
12:45This is suddenly starting to feel more like a date, isn't it?
12:48Yes, yes it is
12:50Wow
12:51Listen, this is really great
12:54The last time I stepped in the deep end
12:56It worked out really badly for me
12:59It's okay, isn't it, that we don't rush this?
13:01Oh, absolutely right, yeah
13:03First and foremost, we're friends
13:04And I think really, really good friends
13:06And I do not want to jeopardise that
13:09However, I may need a cold shower
13:12Well, thank you
13:13Oh, you're very, very welcome
13:16Rachel, we're holding a diary
13:20What's happened?
13:20Love, please can you come?
13:21There's been a terrible accident, Leah's in a very bad way
13:24What's happened?
13:25There's something you've been hurt
13:25No, no, no, no, it came out all wrong
13:28It's, it's not Leah
13:30It's, it's Daniel, he's been killed
13:32Oh
13:33Please, can you come?
13:34I, Leah's not coping at all
13:36I'm trying to get her to the hospital
13:37Let's get you over there, right?
13:39How did it happen?
13:40I'm not, I'm not sure of the details
13:41I think he was abseiling and he fell
13:44You're gonna need your hat
13:47Get your hands, Susanna
13:49Get your hands, Susanna
13:50Get your hands, Rosanna
13:51Get your hands, Rosanna
13:54I don't know.
14:28OK, at this time of night, I'll go straight to the hospital pharmacy.
14:31You might miss the chemist, all right?
14:32Yeah, sure. I'll get back as soon as I can.
14:35Listen, why don't you two take a break?
14:37You deserve it.
14:38OK.
15:02I could tell you the five stages of grieving that you're going to go through, but you know
15:07all that from personal experience.
15:10Just like you know that everybody does it differently, in their own time, in their own way.
15:19Another thing we both know is that the grieving process can't start until you acknowledge
15:24that there's a need for it.
15:30This is not about forgetting Dan or leaving him behind, because that is never going to
15:35happen.
15:37From this moment in your life onwards, he is always going to be a part of you.
15:44Just like you were always a part of him, the very good part in our nature so often comes
15:50from the people that we love deeply and who love us.
16:00But death draws a line.
16:03It separates our memories from our actual living life.
16:07And that's the line that you need to cross.
16:13Because there is a child who is also a part of you, who is going to feel this loss deeply.
16:26Death cannot be about clinging on Leah for you or for Dan, but it's another part of life.
16:57See you guys.
17:00See you guys.
17:31Tony?
17:46I'm good, love.
17:48Thanks for asking.
17:50Where's Leah?
17:51She's lying down.
17:53Rachel finally talked her into putting her head down.
17:57How are you?
17:59You know, I was thinking earlier about how much Dan did for your kids.
18:06He loved you, you know.
18:08He loved you like he was your own.
18:10And that's how I felt about him too.
18:13I loved him like he was my own son.
18:22She put out the cream bickies.
18:24You know what teenagers are like.
18:26She'll go, she'll go, she'll go.
18:29Hey.
18:30Hey, hey, hey.
18:31Come on, it's okay.
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:33It's fine.
18:34It's okay to feel this way, Colleen.
18:54You heard Drew's voice.
19:00It's fine.
19:11I rang, Dad.
19:14You can't believe it.
19:16I wish I could.
19:17I wish I could.
19:30He was too flaming young, that's for sure.
19:32He should have been seeing us off, not the other way around.
19:35Yeah, he was a good man.
19:37You know, they talk about justice in the world.
19:40But fair dinkum, when something like this happens, you wonder what it's all about.
19:44And I'm sure Leah's asking exactly that right now.
19:48What she's going through is pure hell.
19:52Well, here's the both of them.
19:54Yeah.
19:55You know you're past the midway mark
20:03Yeah, it's too late
20:08To turn back
20:13Tomorrow we'll be
20:16Clean of this day
20:22Don't worry so much
20:25You will find your way
20:30And you wish it would rain
20:33Cause you're thirsty again
20:34But it won't hurt a bit
20:36Like a kiss on your lips
20:39Take a bite
20:40Here's a light
20:41There's a hole in the night
20:43Just go through
20:44It's for you
20:45It'll be alright
20:48You're only wrong
20:52You're not alone
20:56Next week
20:57He doesn't know his wife's little secret
21:00She's hiding Summer Bay's killer
21:02In her bedroom
21:03I'm not going anywhere until I finish what I came here to do
21:06Who will be next on his list?
21:09So get me the address of where Sally's going to stay
21:11Plus, two naughty surprises are headed for town
21:14Who's that?
21:15And how will they say goodbye to one of Summer Bay's favourites?
21:19I will cherish him
21:20Cling to those you love
21:23Home and Away
21:24Next week at 7
