00:00♪ Closer each day
00:03♪ Home in the way
00:08Justin, I don't understand.
00:10You just tried to kiss me. Why would you do that?
00:12I really liked you, Justin.
00:14Give me my keys.
00:18Right now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere.
00:20I've got no phone reception. I've got a wife at home.
00:22She's going to be worried sick where I am.
00:24It's me again.
00:26You better have a good explanation as to why you're not here.
00:30Are we done?
00:31Dr. Cameron, what am I doing?
00:32Wait.
00:33Bree, he's getting worse.
00:35I can see that.
00:36Bree, help him, please.
00:38I need to check his bloods.
00:40Wait, Bree.
00:41Where are you going?
00:42Mr. Stewart nearly died in there,
00:44and that would have been on you.
00:46Your hesitation could have cost Alfie's life.
00:49That's your opinion.
00:50And because we can't agree on what happened,
00:51I'm going to have to report you.
00:53It's one job.
00:54That's all I'm asking you to do.
00:55I told you.
00:56I'm not doing it.
01:01I didn't mean it.
01:04Hey, what happened?
01:05I shot my dad.
01:31And say you'll stay with me tomorrow morning.
01:36And I can't stay with you.
01:40My heart is falling.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Cheers.
01:46I can't remember the last time we played like that.
01:48I'm glad I came around.
01:49Yeah, I bet Leah is too.
01:51Yeah, third wheeling that.
01:53A special dinner of theirs would have been awkward.
01:55Yeah, just a bit.
01:56Look, I know Justin didn't cross any lines,
01:58but he's got some serious explaining to do.
02:00I wouldn't worry about Justin.
02:01He knows how to dig himself out of a hole.
02:03True that.
02:05Hey.
02:06I thought you were working late.
02:08Change of plans.
02:09Turns out I'm not welcome.
02:13I'm going to get out of here.
02:16Yeah, sorry, mate.
02:17No, don't worry about it.
02:18See ya.
02:24You okay?
02:28Yeah.
02:40He's dead.
02:43He's dead.
02:44Just take a seat and breathe, okay?
02:51How did this happen?
02:55Dad, he was holding me under the water.
02:57I couldn't breathe.
02:58He wouldn't stop.
02:59Just slow down.
03:00So I pushed him hard.
03:01Maybe too hard.
03:02I don't know.
03:03So you were trying to protect yourself?
03:04He must have hit his head or something when he fell.
03:07I was trying to catch my breath.
03:09I didn't see.
03:11Next thing I know, he was...
03:14laying there in the water.
03:16Not moving.
03:19I didn't know what to do.
03:21Hey, hey.
03:22It's going to be okay.
03:23He wanted me to do one last job.
03:25I said no.
03:26He just kept coming back.
03:29I should have just gone.
03:32Why didn't I go?
03:33Hey, hey, hey.
03:34You were right to say no.
03:35Hey, listen to me.
03:36Listen to me.
03:37You're going to be okay.
03:38Alright?
03:39Okay?
03:40Now let's get you into some dry clothes,
03:41and I'll call the police.
03:42No.
03:43No.
03:44No way.
03:45We have to.
03:46You know we don't have a choice.
03:47They'll lock me up.
03:48I can't go to prison.
03:49Listen to me.
03:50Your dad brings some AVO and Threshinger.
03:51They'll understand, okay?
03:52Trust me.
03:53Trust me.
03:54Hey.
03:55You're going to be okay.
04:00Go on.
04:01Go on.
04:12Yes, police.
04:15Yeah, I need to report an incident.
04:17Someone's died.
04:25Phone chimes.
04:56Now, can you believe the arrogance of that man
04:59threatening to report me?
05:00I mean, who does he think he is?
05:02You know what this is?
05:04It's snitching,
05:05and you'd think that Levi would know better.
05:07He must have his reasons.
05:08Yeah.
05:09He wants me to lose my job.
05:11Okay, hang on, bro.
05:12Just come take a seat.
05:14Walk me through what actually happened,
05:16because he must be reacting to something.
05:20Okay.
05:21Yeah.
05:23Okay.
05:27So, my patient was experiencing chest pains.
05:30Okay.
05:31And I wanted to make sure
05:33that I was giving him the right treatment.
05:36But it was hard to concentrate.
05:39All the voices, the nurses,
05:42and Levi, the monitors.
05:45Marilyn.
05:46Marilyn?
05:47What was she doing there?
05:48The patient was Elf Stewart.
05:49Oh.
05:50Is she okay?
05:51Yes, of course he is.
05:52That's good.
05:53Yeah, and just to be clear,
05:55I didn't hesitate.
05:57I was just checking his blood,
05:58so that's all it was.
06:00Yeah, yeah, of course.
06:02Everyone knows you're a capable doctor.
06:04Exactly.
06:05It's just been a really stressful day,
06:07and the last thing that I needed was a serve from Levi.
06:10Yeah, well,
06:11maybe you can talk to your counselor about this.
06:14She might have some tips on how to handle this.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah, that's a good idea.
06:19That's a good idea.
06:21It's going to be okay.
06:37He's in the pool in the backyard,
06:38just through there.
06:44Okay, so tell me what happened.
06:47All I know is Perry's dad broke the AVO and attacked him.
06:50Attacked how?
06:51He tried to kill him.
06:52Half drowned him.
06:54Poor Perry.
06:56He was just defending himself, you know.
06:59I need to talk to him.
07:00Where is he?
07:01He's in the house.
07:06I'll just ask him a couple of questions.
07:08I can take the rest of his statement in the morning.
07:10Okay.
07:18Perry?
07:23Perry?
07:36Perry?
07:48What's wrong?
07:50He's gone.
08:00Claudia.
08:02Wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:09Did you manage to contact your wife?
08:12No, maybe that's for the best.
08:14What am I going to say to her?
08:17Wake it up.
08:21You did.
08:30Wed.
08:33A marriage.
08:35Not over wine.
08:39Your wife's not here.
08:47Shit.
08:53Shit.
08:55Shit.
09:17Shit.
09:45Hey.
09:46Perry.
09:47Perfect timing.
09:50Why?
09:51Oh, I'm banned from going home, so I've got some time to kill.
09:54How about the beer you promised me?
09:55No, I don't think so.
09:57Well, if you're worried about Alf, I spoke to Leo.
09:59He's going to be all right.
10:00Can't beer a cock.
10:02I can't.
10:03You owe me. It's your share.
10:04I said no.
10:06Relax.
10:07What's going on?
10:10All right, come on, let me take you home.
10:12I can't go home.
10:13What are you talking about?
10:14Look, if you want to help me, let me sleep in your car, all right?
10:17Look, whatever is going on, just let me call Tanya for you.
10:20No, listen to me.
10:21I can't go back there.
10:23I need to hide.
10:27I'll try texting him.
10:28Run me through what happened one more time.
10:30So he went off to have a shower, I called you guys,
10:33then you know as much as I do.
10:35Why did you ask him to take a shower?
10:37He had to know it would destroy evidence.
10:39Well, he was freezing.
10:40He'd been half drowned in the pool.
10:42And how much time has passed between you discovering Carl's body
10:45and calling the police?
10:46I don't know, 10, 15 minutes?
10:49What are you implying here, Rose?
10:50I'm not implying anything, Tanya.
10:51I'm just trying to get things straight.
10:53Well, I know it looks bad.
10:54Yeah, it does.
10:56If Perry's innocent, why did he run?
10:58Because he was scared out of his mind.
11:00His dad showed up out of nowhere.
11:01This is what he came home to.
11:03I told you, it was self-defense.
11:05Yeah, and when I interview Perry, I'm sure he'll confirm that.
11:07But right now, he is not here.
11:09So if you're hiding him, Tanya, you need to tell me where he is.
11:11I'm not hiding him, Rose.
11:37You can chill out here for a bit.
11:39I'll set up a bed for you.
11:41You think I'll be safe here?
11:42I don't reckon anyone will come looking for you out here.
11:50It's the police.
11:52They want to speak to me.
11:55No.
11:57I can't let them know where I am.
11:58You're scared of the cops.
12:00What exactly are you running from?
12:03Is it something to do with your dad?
12:05Perry, what happened?
12:06Look, I had no choice.
12:07Either it was me or him.
12:09Promise me you won't tell anyone I'm here.
12:28Hey.
12:30I heard a noise.
12:31I thought it might be Justin.
12:33Only me.
12:34Wait, Justin's not here.
12:36He didn't come home last night.
12:39Guess he had a better offer.
12:43Have you tried calling Justin?
12:45I left a voicemail.
12:46I told him to get home and he better have a good explanation for disappearing or we're done.
12:53What?
12:54I mean, you wouldn't actually leave him over this.
12:56I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
12:58But what am I supposed to think when he doesn't come home?
13:01I'm sure he has a reason, Liam.
13:02What?
13:03What could be the reason?
13:05I don't know.
13:06Anyway, you should go.
13:17Are you alright?
13:20I just made some space to clear my head.
13:23Don't do anything until he's had the chance to explain himself.
13:27Okay?
13:34Okay.
13:54I'm sorry about yesterday.
13:56And last night.
13:58And everything.
13:59We've got nothing to say to each other.
14:01I shouldn't have thrown your keys away.
14:02That was childish.
14:04You think?
14:06I wasn't thinking straight.
14:12Did I ever lead you on?
14:15You were nice to me.
14:16And I just thought...
14:17I would never cheat on my wife.
14:19I know that now.
14:21And I'm sorry.
14:23Good.
14:24I've gotta go.
14:25We can't leave things like this.
14:27Yeah, we can.
14:28Justin, please.
14:29Mia has probably spent the night thinking that I'm dead in a ditch somewhere because of you.
14:34I don't know how many more times I can say I'm sorry.
14:36Save it.
14:37What are you doing?
14:39I'm going home.
15:00Hey, relax.
15:01Was it a good idea coming to check him out?
15:03I just want to see how he is.
15:05No, it's not an apology.
15:07I have nothing to be sorry for.
15:09Absolutely.
15:10Marilyn, will you stop fussing?
15:11Well, I've got a lot of reasons to be worried about you.
15:15Hi.
15:16I heard that you've been discharged and I just wanted to check that you really were feeling better.
15:19Oh, yeah.
15:20Right, right.
15:21That's right, Doc.
15:22That's true.
15:23Do you do this for all your patients?
15:25Only the special ones.
15:27Well, thanks for the flowers and thanks for looking after me, eh?
15:30Yep.
15:31Marilyn, could you take those?
15:32I'll just get the letter for the GP and see you at the lift.
15:35Thanks again.
15:39Wow.
15:41Did that make you feel better?
15:42What do you mean?
15:43Giving him flowers.
15:45Is that because you feel guilty?
15:46Go easy.
15:47Oh, I'm sorry, but you weren't there.
15:48Mr. Stewart nearly died because of her.
15:51Can you imagine what would have happened if Levi hadn't come along?
15:54I had everything under control.
15:55Did you, Bree?
15:59Anyway, thanks for the visit.
16:02I've got to take him home, don't I?
16:10What was all that about?
16:11Oh, Marilyn's not a doctor.
16:12She has no idea what she's talking about.
16:15Well, Alf seems better, so...
16:16Yeah.
16:17Yeah, he does.
16:18Let's go.
16:19Yeah, he does.
16:20Let's go.
16:46Finally, you've decided to get in touch.
16:48Oh, it's so good to hear your voice.
16:50Mind telling me what happened?
16:51I'm sorry.
16:52You must have been worried when I didn't come home last night.
16:54That's one way to put it.
16:55What was that?
16:56I said that's one way to put it.
16:57The reception's really bad here.
16:59What are you exactly?
17:00I will fill you in on everything as soon as I get home.
17:03Don't bother.
17:04I won't be here.
17:06I'm sorry.
17:15Got some food and a change of clothes.
17:21How long do you reckon you'll be hiding out here?
17:23I can grab a sleeping bag, too.
17:24I don't know.
17:26So what is the plan, then?
17:28I don't know that either.
17:30Look, I get why you're worried about the cops,
17:32but if you just explain to them exactly what happened...
17:34No, no, no, no. I can't do that.
17:36I tried it. I went to court.
17:37They didn't believe me.
17:39Why would they believe me now?
17:41Good morning.
17:42Grace Lewin with the top stories.
17:44Yabby Creek Police are asking the public for assistance
17:47in tracking down 18-year-old Perry Hayes,
17:50last seen in Summer Bay yesterday.
17:53An arrest warrant has been issued for Mr Hayes
17:55in connection to the death of his father, Carl Hayes.
17:59In other news, a 56-year-old woman...
18:02An arrest warrant, you see?
18:04They've already decided that I'm guilty.
18:09Man, I need to borrow some money, please.
18:11I've got to get out of here.
18:12Let's just think about this for a second.
18:14I don't have time to think about it.
18:15No one knows you're here.
18:16Your phone is off.
18:17They can't trace you.
18:18You're safe here.
18:19And I'm going to keep it that way.
18:21Perry, look at me.
18:25I won't let you down.
18:27I promise.
18:33Perry, it's me again.
18:35Just let me know you're OK, yeah?
18:46Darn it.
18:48You weren't answering the door.
18:50I did knock.
18:54Any news?
18:55I was going to ask you the same thing.
18:57I'm guessing Perry didn't come home.
18:59No.
19:00Just so you know, a warrant was issued for his arrest this morning.
19:03Was that really necessary?
19:04Yes, Tane, it is necessary.
19:06A crime is being committed.
19:08A man is dead, so if you're harbouring him...
19:10I told you, I don't know where he is.
19:12And right now, your arrest warrant is the least of my concerns, Rose.
19:16Where are you going?
19:17Where do you think?
19:18To find Perry.
19:20Tane, stop.
19:21Well, you don't seem to be doing much to find him, so...
19:25What's going on?
19:26You need to come down to the station with us.
19:38Come on, mate.
19:55A FEW HOURS LATER
20:01Leah!
20:08Baby?
20:10DOOR SLAMS SHUT
20:21Before you ask, no, I don't need anything.
20:25And for the hundredth time, Marilyn, my tic is fine, okay?
20:28It was just a start.
20:29The doctor did say you need to look after yourself.
20:32I'm not running a flaming marathon.
20:34I'm doing a crossword.
20:40DOOR CREAKS
20:47What's going on?
20:48Are you all right?
20:51I've left Justin.
20:59I don't know what you think...
21:00I know that you were with Claudia.
21:02I was with her because I had to give her a lift.
21:05I don't believe you.
21:07Didn't expect to see you back here.
21:09I didn't expect to be.
21:10I want you to tell Leah we're not sleeping together.
21:13I am not getting involved in someone else's marriage.
21:16You already are.
21:18You're more than welcome to stay with us
21:20until you and Justin sort this out.
21:22I've been here before, Alf.
21:24I'm not going to be humiliated any more than I already have been.
