00:00♪ Closer each day, home and away ♪
00:08Hey, welcome back.
00:10Where's Eden?
00:12I'm going to prison.
00:14Nerida hit him.
00:16Nerida was there.
00:17It was Nerida Mullins who attacked both of us.
00:19I told Nerida that I'd take the fall as long as she stays away from Eden.
00:22Once she's in custody, you can relax.
00:24Yeah, but she's not in custody, is she?
00:26So yes, I'm worried that she's going to come after Eden.
00:28He's definitely in the clear. He's not going to prison.
00:31Once the paperwork is sorted, Cash is a free man.
00:34If you're not going to prison, where does that leave us?
00:37Is there an us?
00:38They've gone ahead and stuck the photo on a billboard with the slogan,
00:41Your business is our business.
00:43We are here because contact advertising manipulated photos of me without my permission.
00:48Now, I am a very, very proud woman of colour,
00:52and they decided that that colour wasn't good enough for them.
00:55I am healthy. I am strong.
00:57I am beautiful, exactly the way that I am.
01:00Look at this group of incredible people.
01:03I want to speak to someone so they take this billboard down
01:06and apologise for messing with my body.
01:08Real bodies, real lives.
01:10No more riches, no more life.
01:12No!
01:25Hey, mate.
01:26Hey.
01:27What are you doing here?
01:28Well, I had a breakfast here for a change.
01:31Leah hasn't sent out a search party from the diner, has she?
01:33No, I haven't seen her this morning. She got home late, left early.
01:36She likes to keep busy.
01:37Yeah, tell me about it.
01:39Young Theo, how's he going?
01:41Last I heard, he was thinking about moving on with the band.
01:44They have decided to stay put.
01:46If I didn't know better, I'd say you were relieved.
01:49Yeah, well, Leah would have missed him.
01:51I'm happy he's hanging around too, you know.
01:53Hang on, who wrote?
01:55He.
01:56How's Tim?
01:57He's awake.
01:58Well, there's a bit of good news.
02:00And Cash?
02:02Thanks to Tim's statement, the charge against Cash will be dropped.
02:05So he's not going to prison?
02:06I bet he's relieved.
02:09Excuse me.
02:11Senior Constable Delaney speaking.
02:15Seriously?
02:17Okay, I'll be right there.
02:20Bye.
02:22It's a simple yes or no.
02:24Is there an us or isn't there?
02:26Look, I know it's hard, but you need to understand.
02:28Cash, I don't want to hear you say that it is impossible anymore.
02:31I don't believe that and I never have.
02:33But it is.
02:35Yeah, it is.
02:36And right now my priority is you and Nerid is still out there, so you're not safe.
02:39It's Tim that she went for, not me.
02:41Look, I spoke to her.
02:45Okay, and she's been making threats.
02:47She's been making threats against you.
02:48Yeah, yeah, I heard that you saw her.
02:50Why?
02:54I made a deal with her.
02:57I take the fall for what happened and she leaves me alone.
03:06You were prepared to go to prison for me.
03:08Why would you do that?
03:10You know why.
03:14Say it.
03:15Say it.
03:16No.
03:19I can't do this, sorry.
03:20What are you doing?
03:21I want you to stay here.
03:22I want you to keep this door locked unless it's me or Tanya, okay?
03:24Where are you going?
03:25I'm going to fix this.
03:27Stay here.
03:28Stay here.
03:45Hold on for a second, thank you.
03:47No one seems to be here.
03:48Well, they can't be too far away.
03:50Well, what do we do?
03:53Should we tear the billboard down?
03:56No, no, no.
03:57Wouldn't I be crossing the line?
03:58Well, they crossed it first.
04:02We are not doing anything that is illegal.
04:05Okay, alright, alright.
04:09Make sure this goes straight to my account.
04:11Great.
04:13Hello, everyone.
04:14My name is Kirby Adamoana and my picture is the reason we're here today.
04:19Yay!
04:21Contact advertising has changed my appearance.
04:24Yay!
04:25They thought that they made me look more appealing.
04:28They failed.
04:29They don't get to make that choice.
04:31They don't get to make me, or anyone else for that matter, feel like they're not good enough.
04:36No, they don't do that, no!
04:38I love who I am and I'm not changing for anyone.
04:42Yay!
04:45Okay, hey.
04:46Excuse me.
04:47Okay, everyone, just remember that this is a peaceful rally, okay?
04:52What are you doing here?
04:53There's been a complaint about public nuisance.
04:55I'm sorry, but I need you to move on.
04:57Who made the complaint?
04:58Well, if it's one of the shop owners, I'll have a chat with him.
05:00No, no, it's no one local, Ru.
05:02Someone from the agency has seen a video on social media.
05:04Well, in that case, we're not going anywhere.
05:06No, Kirby, please do not make this any more difficult than it needs to be.
05:09You were on our side last night.
05:10I am, but my hands are tied.
05:12Also, you're blocking public pathways.
05:15Contact don't care that we're blocking pathways.
05:18They're just trying to shut us up.
05:19Kirby, please.
05:20No, no, no.
05:21You get on the phone to them and tell them that we're not leaving
05:23until they apologise for what they did to me.
05:25Yep.
05:26Alright, ready?
05:28Real bodies, real lives!
05:30No more filters, no more lies!
05:32Real bodies, real lives!
05:34No more filters, no more lies!
05:36Now that his name's cleared, you reckon Cash will go back to work?
05:39Well, there's no reason why he shouldn't.
05:41The whole thing was a sham from the start.
05:43This must be stoked.
05:44What are you two looking at?
05:45Check it out.
05:46What's going on?
05:47Everybody's gathered to support Kirby.
05:49Is that about those photos?
05:50Yeah, it is.
05:51It's pretty amazing, right?
05:52Mm-hmm.
05:53Ooh, that's where Leah is.
05:55Look at her go.
05:56Oh, is that the cops?
05:57Yeah, I guess that's where Rose went.
05:59Yeah.
06:00Well, it's great they're making a stand.
06:01Mm-hmm.
06:03Hey, baby.
06:05We were just watching you on Kirby's socials.
06:07Good on ya.
06:10Yeah, I'll do that.
06:12Alright, see you soon.
06:13So annoyed I can't be there.
06:15I've got to shift.
06:16Yeah, well, I don't have a reason not to be.
06:18This thing means a lot to Curbs.
06:19I know.
06:20I'll drive.
06:21I've got to swing past the diner so we can pick up some stuff and make more signs, though.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yes, solidarity!
06:27You are getting so much support from your fans.
06:31Oh, yes, they're the best.
06:33Yeah, but you know they're on your side.
06:35You've got to try and reach new people.
06:36Yeah, but you're obviously getting contact's attention.
06:39Keep us real!
06:42Okay, okay, here comes Rose.
06:44Well, what'd they say?
06:45Are they willing to face us?
06:46I'm sorry, but they don't want to talk.
06:48They're not coming.
06:49Well, it would benefit everyone if they did.
06:51You're not interested, Rue.
06:52And you're interfering with other people's businesses.
06:55I'm going to have to issue you with an order to move on.
06:57Oh, my gosh.
06:58Well, okay, we tried.
07:00No, no, Rose, we're not going anywhere.
07:02Kirby, if you don't leave on your own accord, I'll be forced to take things to the next level.
07:06What do you mean?
07:07You'll have us arrested.
07:08For public nuisance, yes, but I do not want it to come to that, so...
07:11Unbelievable.
07:12Rylan?
07:13Where's our megaphone?
07:14Really, Kirby?
07:16Thank you very much.
07:17Okay, everyone, listen up.
07:19Contact advertising is refusing to listen to us.
07:21No!
07:23That just means we've got to be louder.
07:25Real bodies, real lives.
07:27No more filters, no more lights.
07:29Real bodies, real lives.
07:31No more filters, no more lights.
07:33This is Senior Constable Delaney requesting backup.
07:35No more filters, no more lights.
07:37Real bodies, real lives.
07:39No more filters, no more lights.
07:41Real bodies, real...
07:42I just want to know, how long is it going to take for you to drop the charges against my son?
07:46Well, you know as well as I do, these things take time.
07:48My priority is getting an arrest warrant out and there at a moment.
07:51Right, and where on your priority list is the apology you need to make?
07:56You know, for getting it wrong?
08:01I know you're angry, and you have every right to be, but I don't have time for this.
08:05Timothy Russell absolved Cash of Responsibility. Take the win.
08:09Detective, I need to talk to you.
08:12I'm glad you're here. I want to say sorry.
08:17I need you to keep me as a primary suspect.
08:19You want people to think you did it?
08:21No, no, no. I don't care what anybody thinks except for Nerida.
08:23I need her to believe that the deal I've made with her is still on.
08:26Hold up. What deal?
08:39A man is in hospital after a vicious attack left him in a coma.
08:42A local police constable has been absolved of the attack,
08:45and investigators have now identified a new suspect.
08:48Nerida Mullins, mid-twenties, is believed to be dangerous.
08:52No.
08:53The public are urged not to approach, but to call Crimestoppers immediately.
09:08Crimestoppers
09:12Real bodies, real lives. No more filters, no more lies.
09:16Real bodies, real lives. No more filters, no more lies.
09:27This is nuts.
09:30Yeah. Now we gotta find Leah.
09:35Is this really necessary?
09:36I gave you every opportunity, Rue.
09:38But you chose to do this the hard way.
09:40You can take her.
09:41Yeah, I don't. Thanks.
09:45Alright, this is an order.
09:47You all need to leave the area safely or you will be arrested.
09:51Oh no.
09:52Don't worry, everything will be alright.
09:54We're not alright.
09:56Hi, Justin.
09:57Hey, you guys alright?
09:59Yeah, we're fine.
10:00No, we're not fine. We just got arrested.
10:02I've got to find Leah. Do you know where she is?
10:05She's somewhere with Kirby.
10:07There she is. She's over there.
10:09Move along.
10:10Real bodies, real lives. No, no.
10:13Real bodies, real lives.
10:15Leah, you've already been warned and now you're obstructing a police operation.
10:17I don't care.
10:18Kirby is the victim here. She shouldn't be one punished.
10:21Shame on you.
10:22You need to step down. Step down.
10:24Baby, let's just go.
10:26Oh, what is she doing?
10:28No ...
10:34This is for all the women out there.
10:37Leah Patterson, you're under arrest for vandalism.
10:39No more filters, no more lies.
10:58That's why Nerida can't be named as the suspect.
11:01I cannot believe you would do something that stupid.
11:03It's not like you were looking for any other suspect except him.
11:06What was he supposed to do?
11:07I was trying to protect everybody involved.
11:09That's why I need this to stay quiet.
11:11Well, I'm sorry, but it's too late.
11:12We've already released Nerida's details to the media.
11:16She hasn't shown up at home and there's been no activity.
11:18There's no telling what she's going to do.
11:20That's why we have a police guard keeping watch over Timothy Russell.
11:23He's not the only one at risk.
11:24Cash.
11:25Yeah, if Nerida can't go after Tim, then she's going to target Eden.
11:27She needs the protection as much as he does.
11:29Then let's get back to her.
11:30I can help you with this, Townsend.
11:32Yeah, if I'm not a suspect, then let me be a cop.
11:34I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
11:36Not until the paperwork goes through and the charges have been officially dropped.
11:39Okay, you know that.
11:40Then you need to find Nerida before it's too late.
11:58Ah.
12:15Cash?
12:18Just us.
12:19Thanks.
12:25Ah, I'm getting calls from my cop shop replacement.
12:28I should get back to her.
12:34Where'd she go?
12:36Went to the station to talk to Detective Townsend.
12:38And?
12:39And the news about Nerida's already out.
12:42So she knows that the deal is off?
12:44Well, if she doesn't, then she soon will.
12:47Okay, well, it's a good thing that Tim is protected, but...
12:50What about hospital? What do we do?
12:58Cash?
13:01You need to be under police protection too, Eden.
13:04Okay, um, how does that work?
13:08Eden, I need you to go back to the hospital.
13:10I need you to stay with Tim.
13:11Okay.
13:13Are you kidding me?
13:14Do I look like I'm kidding you?
13:16This is the only way I can keep you safe.
13:26Okay, everyone take a seat and I'll be with you in a moment.
13:31What have you got your hands for?
13:32You have no idea.
13:36Guys, I'm really sorry. This is all my fault.
13:38Oh, no, don't be silly. We knew what we were signing up for.
13:42Leah, the spraying?
13:44Well, I have to admit, I can't ignore a sandwich.
13:51Excuse me, Rose.
13:53Yes, Marilyn.
13:55Look, um, this is all getting a bit silly, isn't it? I mean, surely you can let us go?
14:00May I just come and sit down?
14:01No, I mean, you know us. I know you're doing your job, but we can't be criminals.
14:06Sit down, Marilyn.
14:14Okay.
14:20You don't understand what you're asking of me.
14:23I'm just asking you to accept police protection.
14:25It is not that simple.
14:26Yes, it is that simple. It is, okay. And if there is a problem, then can you explain it to me?
14:33Tim knows that I'm still in love with you. At least I think that he does. I...
14:38What do you mean?
14:39We haven't spoken about it since he woke up. I'm not even sure if he remembers the conversation.
14:44But that is why we weren't together when you showed up at the estate.
14:48Look, if he hasn't mentioned it, then it's not a problem.
14:50Yes, Cash, it is a huge problem. I can't sit at his bedside and pretend that it never happened.
14:56Yes, you can. Yeah, you can.
15:00And the kiss? Or the question that you still haven't answered?
15:05It doesn't matter.
15:07Okay, please, please go back to the hospital, Eden. I'm begging you.
15:25Thank you for bringing me here.
15:27No worries. It's all right. They'll catch Nerida.
15:30Where's the police guard gone?
15:32Stay here.
15:35Hi.
15:37Hi. Where's the patient?
15:39Oh, he's having follow-up scans. He'll be back soon, though.
15:41Right. Are you okay?
15:43Yeah.
15:44Does Tim have a police guard with him?
15:46Yes, he does.
15:48I'll wait here till Tim and the guard get back.
15:53Oh, I'm sorry that I'm such a mess right now.
15:58Yesterday Cash told me what happened between you two.
16:04Which officially makes me the worst person ever.
16:08I wanted to be here when Tim woke up, but where was I when he needed me most?
16:13It's messy, but that doesn't make it wrong.
16:16One minute I'm kissing Cash and the next he's just pushing me back here.
16:22I shouldn't even be thinking about Cash while Tim is in hospital.
16:26He loves you. You love him. Don't you forget that.
16:35Oh.
16:38You want to swap jobs?
16:40I know you're having a tough day, but at least you're getting Newman back, eh?
16:44Good luck seeing you comfortable.
16:46Hey, you okay?
16:48Yeah, we're fine.
16:49How much trouble are you in?
16:50We have no idea.
16:52Are you all good?
16:53There was a big waste of time. We didn't even get through to contact advertising.
16:57Yeah, but if the stupid agency called the cops on you, it means you struck a nerve.
17:01Yeah, but what was the point if we're all being punished for it now?
17:02Oh, don't worry about it. We're going to get nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
17:06What exactly is a slap on the wrist? I mean, is that like a criminal record?
17:10No.
17:11Right, who wants to get processed first?
17:14I'll go. This is on me.
17:28Hey.
17:30Did you get Aidan off the hospital?
17:32She's safe.
17:34Should you be out here?
17:36If Nerida's ready to make the next move...
17:37Look, now that Aidan and Tim are under police protection, she can come at me.
17:42Listen, I'm going to make some calls, see if I can extend my time here.
17:45No, no, don't.
17:47You're needed back there.
17:49Aidan's going to be fine as long as she stays where she is.
17:50Well, it's not Aidan I'm worried about.
17:53You came here to make sure my name was clear.
17:56Only a matter of time until I'm back in uniform.
17:58Trust me, Gary. I can do this job.
18:00You need to go home and do yours.
18:02I need you to tell me the things that are happening in your life.
18:05Yeah. I will.
18:08If it ain't John Palmer, Will.
18:09Yeah, ain't that the truth.
18:11Listen, um, can I say something?
18:14I can't stop you.
18:16Even if half of what I've heard is true in terms of what you've put Aidan through,
18:21she should be running a mile, mate.
18:24But she's not, Cash.
18:26She's not going anywhere.
18:28You remember that.
18:36Bob, I didn't say too much.
18:38We all would have said the same thing.
18:40We didn't, but I saw it.
18:44Are you okay?
18:45Yeah, they just asked me some questions.
18:47So, what happens now?
18:49Okay, listen up.
18:50You're free to go with a warning.
18:52But, just to be clear, your names will stay on file.
18:54Just to be clear, your names will stay on file.
18:56The next time you disobey police orders, that will be taken into account when it comes to laying charges.
19:02Do you understand?
19:03Absolutely.
19:05I told you, slap on the wrist.
19:06Oh, I can't thank you guys enough.
19:08Alright, let's get out of here.
19:11Leah.
19:13Not you.
19:14What?
19:15What?
19:24Look, it was Leah's decision to spray paint the car.
19:27Yes, but she wouldn't have been there if it hadn't been for me.
19:29Oh, she wanted to be there.
19:30You saw her.
19:31I mean, look, Rose had to go harder on her, but she's not going to get a life sentence.
19:35It doesn't make it any easier for Leah.
19:36All she'll get is a fine.
19:40Whoa, whoa.
19:41Check this out.
19:43Our hashtag's gone viral.
19:44Keep us real.
19:45Oh, wow.
19:46Look at that.
19:47Okay, so the agency isn't listening, but people around the world are.
19:51Now, this has to damage their reputation, right?
19:53Well, you'd think so.
19:54Everyone's resharing it.
19:56Okay, so this is a good thing?
19:57Yeah, of course it is.
19:58We might have actually made some change.
19:59Yeah, we might have.
20:01Do you think the police are going to have any problems with this sort of social media business?
20:06No, why would they?
20:07Why would they?
20:08I mean, hey, listen, we've got to make sure that Dad doesn't find out about our little adventure, okay?
20:13I thought we weren't going to lie to him anymore.
20:15I'm not lying.
20:16He doesn't need to know everything.
20:21Leah shouldn't be the only one being charged.
20:23There were heaps of people there.
20:24It wasn't even her idea.
20:26Failure to comply with police orders is an offence.
20:28Come on, Rose.
20:29She's learned her lesson.
20:30She vandalised her vehicle.
20:31And I would do it again.
20:32What are you doing?
20:33Will you all stop talking about me like I'm not here?
20:35And don't argue with Rose.
20:37She's only doing her job.
20:38Okay, excuse me.
20:39I'll be right back to make this official.
20:42Well, I feel like you just made things worse.
20:44This is stupid.
