00:00All I could think was if he gets my head under the water one more time, I'm gone.
00:12I got a hold of his shirt and I rolled him over and that's when he went into the water
00:15and hit his head.
00:16I heard Perry's been charged.
00:17Well, he's not doing himself any favours, let's put it that way.
00:20What do you mean?
00:21He's trying to protect Tane.
00:22According to the law, he helped someone escape after a murder.
00:26If they can prove that, Tane could get 20 years.
00:28Whoever was helping you, whether it was Tane.
00:30It wasn't.
00:31That person might hold the key to swaying the magistrate on your state of mind.
00:35It gives us a real chance of getting you out of here.
00:37But then they'll get in trouble.
00:38I came to turn myself in.
00:40Tane wasn't the one hiding Perry.
00:42I was.
00:43Why should I be the one to make the first move?
00:45Because someone has to.
00:47He doesn't get to take the moral high ground after he's been lying to me for the past month.
00:51What did you get up to last night?
00:52What the hell does that mean?
00:54I was just asking you a question.
00:56What do you think I was getting up to last night?
00:58Oh, come on.
00:59No, no, no.
01:00Seriously.
01:01You're implying something.
01:02I just want to hear you say it.
01:03You're being ridiculous.
01:04Am I?
01:05I think running off to a motel is childish.
01:07Oh.
01:08Well, so maybe I should stay then.
01:09Maybe you should.
01:16Hey.
01:17Hey.
01:18Back to work?
01:19Nah.
01:20Done.
01:21Just came off the night shift.
01:22Wow.
01:23It's the first time I've seen you back in uniform in a while.
01:24It's about time I went back.
01:25How's it feeling?
01:26Is what it is.
01:27Good, huh?
01:28Just not loving working back at Mangaroa River.
01:30Didn't you put that gang leader in prison?
01:32Surely things have improved since then.
01:33Yeah, well, turns out there's always someone ready to take their place, eh?
01:36Can't be easy.
01:37It's not.
01:38Actually, Cash, while I've got you here, is there any chance that you could come back
01:41later and sign that contract of sale?
01:42Yes.
01:43Yes, yes, of course.
01:44Can I text you about it later?
01:45Absolutely.
01:46Okay.
01:47Great.
01:48See ya.
01:49See ya.
01:50Poor guy.
01:51It's gonna be tough.
01:52Yeah.
01:53It will be.
01:58Hey.
01:59Hey.
02:00Why are you guys all dressed up?
02:01We've got Perry's bail hearing.
02:04What's he been charged with?
02:05Murder.
02:07He handed himself in.
02:10Okay, well, look, that's something.
02:13Except for his sister convinced Tano was hiding him the whole time.
02:16I can't even think about that right now.
02:19If Perry pleads self-defence, what do you think his chances of making bail are?
02:24I'd need a bit more information than that, mate.
02:26You wanna talk me through it?
02:28So when I asked you where Perry was and you told me you had no idea...
02:31I lied.
02:32And you're willing to make an official statement to that effect?
02:35Yep.
02:36Theo!
02:38Hey.
02:39What are you doing here?
02:40I told her you were staying at the garage.
02:42Dude, why would you say that?
02:43It's okay.
02:44It's alright.
02:45I told her because it's the right thing to do.
02:48I'll be fine.
02:50And good luck in court.
02:52Stay strong.
02:57Okay, Theo.
02:59Let's make this official.
03:06Take a seat.
03:27That's the third time you've gone through those since you got here.
03:30Mmm.
03:32Yeah, I think I'm nervous.
03:33Just a bit.
03:35Well, once I sign this, it'll be all my responsibility again.
03:38That's what you wanted though, isn't it?
03:40Yes, I feel like I owe it to Felicity to get it right this time.
03:44She stepped up when I needed a partner to get me out of debt.
03:46And without her, I would have lost this place.
03:48Well, for what it's worth, I think you'll do Felicity proud.
03:56What do you know about the death of Carl Hayes?
03:59I know that it was an accident.
04:01How do you know that?
04:04Were you there?
04:05No.
04:06Perry told me.
04:08What else did he say?
04:11He said his dad tried to drown him.
04:15And then there was a struggle and his dad fell in the pool.
04:21How did you get involved?
04:22I ran into Perry outside the surf club.
04:25I could tell something wasn't right.
04:28He was scared.
04:30He wasn't thinking straight.
04:33So no one else knew where Perry was this whole time?
04:37No.
04:40Why should I believe you?
04:42You lied to my face.
04:43I know, I'm sorry about that.
04:45You knew we were looking for Perry.
04:47Why didn't you come straight to us if you believed it was an accident?
04:49Why didn't you come straight to us if you believed it was an accident?
04:51It was more complicated than that, Rose.
04:53You know what's complicated, Theo?
04:55Being an accessory to murder.
05:02Am I under arrest?
05:04Not at this stage, no.
05:09Can I call someone for you?
05:11Leo or Justin, maybe.
05:19Hey.
05:20I don't want to talk.
05:21I don't want to have another argument.
05:22Hear me out.
05:23I don't really care.
05:24I'm not up for it.
05:25Just please, turn around and go, okay?
05:26That's not why I'm here.
05:27I don't really care what it's about.
05:29I got a call from Theo.
05:30He's at Yabby Creek Police Station.
05:32He's in trouble.
05:47You alright, mate?
05:50I didn't think I'd ever be here again.
05:52I'll make us some food.
05:57How are you feeling?
06:00I need to thank your lawyer.
06:02Underestimated her.
06:04I still can't believe you put the gym up for my bail.
06:07It's done now.
06:09So I reckon we'll eat and then we need to go over your bail conditions.
06:12Before we do that, I need to check in with Theo.
06:15Or maybe that's not a great idea right now.
06:18I just need to know he's not in trouble.
06:20He's had my back all the way.
06:21Okay, I get it.
06:23We do owe him.
06:24How about I go follow up with him?
06:26And you can sit down with Tana and do what you need to do.
06:29Sounds good.
06:31I'll get back to you as soon as I hear from him, okay?
06:35Okay, thanks.
06:36I'll call Cash too, let him know the latest.
06:38Yeah, I'm sure he'd appreciate that.
06:40So how about you go get changed and we'll work out what our next move is, yeah?
06:49Rose?
06:50Hey.
06:51Is Theo okay?
06:53So I'd say he's had better days.
06:54What's going on?
06:55Why's he in here?
06:56He hid Perry Hayes in your garage after the death of his father.
07:02Can I see him?
07:03Yep, of course.
07:04Come through.
07:09Rose?
07:10Yeah?
07:11Can I see him?
07:12Yep, of course.
07:13Come through.
07:15Rose?
07:16Look, I get what Theo did was dumb, but it sounds like he was just looking out for a mate.
07:21It was dumb and illegal.
07:23There was nothing malicious about it.
07:24I mean, he's a good kid.
07:25You know that.
07:26I can't forget it, Justin.
07:28What do you want me to do?
07:29Pretend he didn't confess?
07:45What possessed you to do something like this?
07:47Perry needed my help.
07:49Tell someone.
07:50You don't just hide him in the garage.
07:52His dad has been abusing him since he was a kid, Leah.
07:55It was a mess.
07:57I just, I couldn't turn my back on him.
08:00Alright.
08:01Okay.
08:03We understand why you did it, but you could have told us because we would have understood that.
08:07We could have helped.
08:09You guys had your own stuff going on.
08:15Okay, but is Theo going to be charged?
08:17I really can't talk about it.
08:18But is it likely?
08:19Look, Leah and Justin are here, so he's not on his own.
08:23I'm glad.
08:24Hey.
08:25Hey.
08:26Hey, I just spoke to Tana.
08:27It's actually good news about Perry.
08:29You okay?
08:31Yeah.
08:32I'll leave you to it.
08:34See ya.
08:36What are you doing here?
08:38Thought you could use one of these.
08:41It's alright.
08:42Can't even imagine the day you must be having.
08:43It's been rough.
08:44Everyone's been really stressed.
08:46I don't know who's telling me the truth or not.
08:49Justin's begging me not to charge Theo.
08:51That's not surprising.
08:52He's family.
08:53I have no idea why he'd do something so stupid.
08:56He hasn't told you why?
08:58Just that Perry told him it was self-defense and he believed him.
09:00Okay, alright.
09:03You understand that you can use your discretion?
09:05In a case like this, you don't actually have to charge him.
09:07Cash.
09:09Theo deliberately hid Perry.
09:10And I know that.
09:11But there's some history with Theo that you might not be across.
09:14Like what?
09:16His father was violent.
09:19That's actually why you came here.
09:20To get away from him.
09:22You sure?
09:24I took Theo's statement myself.
09:32You okay?
09:33Yeah, I'm just trying not to read into Cash being late.
09:35What, you think he's having doubts?
09:37Well, if he was, I wouldn't blame him.
09:38He just came off night shift.
09:39Give the bloke a few minutes, yeah?
09:44Hey.
09:45Hi.
09:46You made it.
09:47Yeah, yeah.
09:48Sorry I'm late.
09:49Just got caught up in a couple of things.
09:50Everything okay?
09:51Yeah, yeah.
09:52You know what?
09:53It is.
09:54Well, that's good.
09:55Here to get this done?
09:56Yes.
09:57Okay.
09:58It won't take long.
09:59You just need to sign where the tabs are.
10:00Okay.
10:08This one won't be the same without her.
10:11I mean, it's Felicity.
10:12She was a force, right?
10:15And if you want to hold off on all this,
10:16honestly, it's okay.
10:17This is what she'd want.
10:36Done.
10:39Done.
10:51You good with all that?
10:52Understand everything?
10:54What's to understand?
10:55Go to the cop shop,
10:56show my face,
10:57sign in, walk away.
10:58Nothing I haven't done before.
11:00Okay.
11:02So, this meeting we've got tomorrow with your lawyer,
11:05you heard everything she said about
11:06needing references.
11:08Can we just talk about something else?
11:10Hey, look, I know it's a lot.
11:11Why hasn't Harper called?
11:12Well, maybe there's nothing to report.
11:14Look, right now I just,
11:15I need you to get your head in the game.
11:16Do you think any of this is actually going to make a difference?
11:19Look, we don't know what will happen,
11:20but we have to throw everything we have at it.
11:22Why would the court let me off?
11:24Because you're telling the truth.
11:25Yeah, but I told the truth last time.
11:27The magistrate let Dad walk.
11:29Plus, I did it.
11:31Dad is dead because of me.
11:33Alright, hey.
11:34That's enough of that.
11:35Now you listen to me.
11:37I've walked in your shoes before.
11:39You know I've been through this.
11:40And mate, I gave up.
11:42I wasn't fighting for myself.
11:43I didn't think there was any point.
11:45So what changed?
11:47I had good people around me.
11:49Especially Harper.
11:51And here I am.
11:54You really think I've got a chance?
11:56I know you do.
11:58And we're going to fight this all the way.
12:01You got that?
12:06Yeah, they're all signed.
12:08No, no, it was no trouble.
12:11Okay, great.
12:12I'll have them queried over this afternoon.
12:15Okay, bye.
12:23Hey.
12:25Can I get you anything?
12:27Something to eat, maybe?
12:28No, no, no.
12:29No, I'm okay.
12:33Can I get you something?
12:35An answer, maybe?
12:41Are you okay?
12:43I don't know.
12:45What does that mean?
12:47I'm not having second thoughts about handing the place over, if that's what you're worried about.
12:50Oh, I was a bit worried about that, but I'm also worried about you.
12:55Cash, I want you to know how much we all care about you.
12:58And if there's anything that I can do.
13:01Appreciate that.
13:06Cash.
13:08Come on, just talk to me.
13:12I feel like every decision I make just takes me further away from the way things used to be.
13:19Yeah.
13:22I understand that.
13:24You know what? I'm going to take you up on that offer for food.
13:26Yeah, I'd love some.
13:27Yeah?
13:28Yeah.
13:29Okay, I'll grab you a menu.
13:30Cheers.
13:36I'm starting to wonder if we should call them lawyer.
13:40I'm thinking the same thing.
13:42Will I turn myself in when I account for something?
13:46I hope so.
13:49Rose, what's happening?
13:52Theo's free to go.
13:54Sorry?
13:56We won't be pressing charges.
13:57Thank you, thank you so much.
13:59You're welcome.
14:00Just don't give me a reason to change my mind.
14:02I won't.
14:03I won't.
14:11Thanks, Rose.
14:15Just out of curiosity, what did make you change your mind?
14:18Doesn't matter.
14:20Just look after him.
14:34Yeah.
14:38Okay, well, I could use a cuppa.
14:40Anyone else?
14:41Yeah, that'd be great.
14:43I'm good, thanks.
14:45Theo, listen up.
14:47Um, we've got to talk about why you were hiding Perry in the garage.
14:51I thought I explained.
14:52Yeah, no, no, no, it's not that. It's, um...
14:56You were saying that we've had a lot going on.
14:59And...
15:00I'm sorry about that.
15:02Yeah, so am I.
15:03We don't have to apologise.
15:04No, we do.
15:06Next time you're in trouble, we want you to come and talk to us.
15:10No matter what's going on.
15:12Well, don't worry, cos there won't be next time.
15:14Good.
15:16Good.
15:17Alright, well, why don't we all sit down?
15:23Oh, it's Perry.
15:25Better go check in with him.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Yeah, I think you two have some stuff to talk about.
15:41Thanks.
15:45Hey!
15:47You OK?
15:48Yeah, yeah, I just signed my half assault over to Mackenzie.
15:52It must have been hard.
15:54Yes and no.
15:56It's weird.
15:57Well, it might sound selfish, but I'm glad you're back in blue.
16:01It'd be a loss to the force and me if you left us forever.
16:03Oh, really? You can't imagine me up there shaking cocktails?
16:05No, I just, like, can't.
16:09Looks like I made the right call about Theo.
16:11Yeah, Perry's got a tough road ahead of him.
16:13Yeah.
16:14It's gonna help to have his mates around.
16:17I owe you big time.
16:20Forget it.
16:21I'm just stoked you made bail.
16:22Yeah.
16:24It's a good sign.
16:25For your case, right?
16:28I'm still up on a murder charge.
16:31It's not exactly a good thing.
16:33All you need to do is tell the truth.
16:37For what it's worth, they know what your dad was like.
16:40And you handed yourself in.
16:42Would a guilty person do that?
16:44Hey, it's gonna be OK.
16:57Cheers.
17:12Hey.
17:13What's this?
17:14New cocktail in honour of Felicity.
17:16Vodka-based with a sassy lemon twist.
17:19Mmm.
17:21Mmm.
17:23The Felicitini?
17:25Where's yours?
17:26Nah, nah, I'm working.
17:29Your new boss, she's tough.
17:31Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard that.
17:33Get back to work.
17:47Hey.
17:48I'm glad I ran into you.
17:50I assumed you heard about what happened with Theo.
17:52Yeah.
17:53Heard you let him off.
17:54That's good of you.
17:55I owe you an apology.
17:57That's fine.
17:58I get why you thought it was me who was hiding him.
18:00Still, I shouldn't have thrown around those accusations.
18:03I just want to focus on getting Perry through this court case.
18:05Mm-hmm.
18:07Alright, see ya.
18:08Take it easy.
18:13She really has no idea you knew where Perry was hiding.
18:17She wouldn't be apologising if she did.
18:19Let's keep it that way, eh?
18:22Okay, good, that's one less thing to think about.
18:24Yeah.
18:26So how are you and the bub feeling?
18:28Well, I don't know about the baby, but I'm pretty much tired and hungry all the time.
18:33I hope you haven't taken on any of my stress.
18:35No, I'm a big girl.
18:37And getting bigger.
18:38You don't have to worry about me.
18:41Us.
18:44Well, I'd better go rustle up Perry.
18:46We have to go to the city and meet up with the lawyer.
18:48How long do you think you'll be gone?
18:50A day or so?
18:52Keep an eye on him.
18:53Prepping for court, he'll have to go over his statement a lot.
18:56Reliving the attack.
18:57Yeah, it's going to be tough.
18:59I'll get him through it though.
19:01Take care, yeah?
19:03Both of you.
19:04And your little one.
19:05Mm-hmm.
19:21Don't know if I can live without you.
19:27Don't know if I can live without you.
19:29Thanks for the tea.
19:31Oh, yeah.
19:32Thanks for being there today for Theo and me.
19:38Always.
19:44Okay, well, I suppose I should go back to the motel.
19:51If you want to.
19:58Justin, wait.
20:01Theo's right, these arguments, they're stupid.
20:06I feel the same way.
20:08Do you want to sort it out?
20:13Tane said that you've gone back to work.
20:14Yeah.
20:16That's good.
20:17It's great.
20:18How's it going for you?
20:19It's just work, you know, nothing really changes.
20:21Right, right.
20:23How's the pregnancy?
20:25Okay.
20:26Aside from one little scare.
20:27Scare?
20:28There was nothing in the end.
20:29False alarm.
20:31Okay, that's good.
20:32Yeah, baby's coming along well.
20:35So I've just been focusing on helping Tane support Perry.
20:38That's a lot for you guys to take on.
20:40Yeah, Tane's carrying the brunt of it.
20:43He's all over his case, taking him to see the lawyer tomorrow.
20:46He never stops.
20:48I guess he's like the father that Perry never had, you know.
20:52He's so amazing, patient and always knows what to say.
20:56Does he know that you're in love with him?
21:04I can't take Abby to her new counsellor.
21:06I'll take her.
21:07Maybe you'll enjoy, you know, getting to talk about yourself.
21:11I don't want to talk to you anymore.
21:13Okay.
21:15I thought you were taking Abigail to the counsellor.
21:17Eden's going to drive her instead.
