00:00I'm gonna make it my personal crusade to prove that you're a liar.
00:11We have a problem.
00:12I mean, it's all fake, getting Irene to remortgage your house as part of your scam.
00:17I mean, that's on top of the insurance, I mean, your treatment in general, right?
00:20Because you're not even sick.
00:22Prove it.
00:23That's you finally admitting it.
00:24How do I look her in the eye and tell her that my positions are more important than
00:29her life?
00:30You're right.
00:31Lea and I are going to give you $50,000 back.
00:34Irene, thank you.
00:35Sweetheart.
00:36She is lying to Irene and everyone else so she can take their money, and that's a crime,
00:40right?
00:41Do you have any evidence that you can give me?
00:43Anything solid I can act on?
00:44No, I don't.
00:45Well, if that changes, come and talk to me.
00:47But right now, maybe you need to let this go.
00:49What if things were reversed?
00:50If I was yelling and treating someone like this?
00:52Yeah, well, if the situation was reversed, I would trust you and I would support you.
00:55No, not if you thought that I was attacking them for no good reason.
00:57I have a good reason.
00:58You're telling the truth.
00:59And we'll prove that she's taking you all for a ride, and when I do, I would like you
01:02to remember this moment.
01:03Ronti.
01:04Hey.
01:05Sorry, um, sorry for before about Dana.
01:06I tried to talk to her again.
01:07Let me guess.
01:08No luck?
01:09No.
01:10Unfortunately.
01:11This is a mess.
01:12No, and I couldn't get the flowers for Irene.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:15no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:16Yeah, when I get stressed, my symptoms get worse.
01:38Maybe we should try and get some water.
01:40Yeah, yeah.
01:41It's happening more and more as me on this progresses.
01:46Yeah, come on.
01:47Let me give you a hand.
01:48You good?
01:49Yeah.
01:50Thanks.
01:51Hey.
01:52Hey.
01:53Did they call you in last minute?
01:54Oh, no.
01:55Just here to change a shift.
01:56Oh.
01:57How are things with Ronti?
01:58Uh, the same.
01:59You know, I don't trust her.
02:00Everybody else does.
02:01But there isn't anything I can really do about that.
02:02So I'm gonna let it go.
02:03Sounds like you're being reasonable.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Yeah.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:16I'm done with the roster.
02:17Do you want to grab coffee after my rounds?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Stay around when I'm done with the roster.
02:20Perfect.
02:21Hey.
02:22Hey.
02:23Hey.
02:24Hey.
02:25Hey.
02:26Hey.
02:27Hey.
02:28Hey.
02:29Hey.
02:30Hey.
02:31Hey.
02:32Hey.
02:33Hey.
02:34Hey.
02:35Hey.
02:36Hey.
02:37Hey.
02:38Hey.
02:39Hey.
02:40Hey.
02:41Hey.
02:42Hey.
02:43Hey.
02:44Hey.
02:45I say that we read this as a glass half-full situation.
02:57Eden, who would want a half glass of anything?
02:59Where's my coffee?
03:01It's alright, I'll put the kettle on.
03:03Anybody else?
03:04Nope.
03:06What's up?
03:08Are you a cop yet?
03:09Look, I wish it was that simple.
03:11It's decided on a case-by-case basis and mine's still under review.
03:16But his call sped things up and he will get an answer by tonight.
03:21One way or another.
03:23Well, they'd be idiots not to take you back.
03:25There should be more cops like you.
03:27Thank you, Remy. I appreciate you saying that.
03:30Really? Really? A two-second pep talk from Remy and you're all hopeful again?
03:35She's just jealous of what there is between us.
03:37Look, I appreciate all of your encouragement, babe.
03:40But I just want an answer to put me out of my misery.
03:44Less of that talk.
03:46I know that it's all going to work out because...
03:49Because you have a crystal ball? Like what?
03:51Because I know things are going to get better.
03:57You deserve to have your job back.
03:59And that is exactly what is going to happen.
04:05I understand you want to help this girl, but remortgaging your house, that's a loss.
04:09John, it's my money. I can do with it what I want.
04:12So, just talk with Justin.
04:14It did take him a minute to come round, but he is happy to part with 25,000.
04:18Oh, love, that is great news.
04:20Are you donating to this too?
04:22Oi, stop your sticky beating.
04:24I think it's great that John knows.
04:25If word spreads, it'll encourage more people to help Bronte.
04:28Are you saying I've got a big mouth?
04:30Uh, is that news to you, John?
04:32OK, you want my two cents worth?
04:35I believe that charity is a wonderful thing,
04:37but it should begin at home and ripple out very slowly.
04:40John, nothing is slower than watching you get your wallet out when the bill arrives.
04:45OK, I'm saying this as a friend.
04:47What you're doing is admirable, but it's above and beyond.
04:50But Bronte needs the money a lot more than we do. The poor thing's desperate.
04:54Are you sure Justin's on board with this?
04:56He is happy to use our savings for a worthy cause.
04:59I did also remind him that he once used our savings to buy a lyrics band.
05:03Look, Bronte doesn't deserve the hands she's been dealt,
05:07but there is a reason we sold away money for a rainy day.
05:10What are you whingeing about now, Palmer?
05:12No, I'm just saying to Irene and Leah here
05:14that donating $25,000 to Bronte's fund is a bit much.
05:19It's truth. Why am I just hearing about this?
05:25Sure I can't get you something to eat?
05:27No, sorry. My stomach isn't up to it.
05:29Peppermint tea's good. It'll help.
05:33How's your crowdfunding page going?
05:35Well, with Irene and Leah's money, I'll have almost $70,000.
05:40Wow, that's a huge difference.
05:44So why wait?
05:46What do you mean?
05:47I mean, we could book you a flight to Canada right now.
05:50How much better would you feel knowing you had a set date to fly out on?
05:53Wouldn't you rather just jump on a plane now
05:55and just get started with your treatment straight away?
05:56It's not that simple.
05:58The treatment centre in Canada have demanded payment up front.
06:02That's pretty harsh.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Sure, you could appeal to the doctors and just get them to make an exception.
06:07I've tried. I have begged.
06:11I've tried to explain how desperate I am and they won't budge.
06:16Sorry, I didn't mean to push.
06:17No, it's okay.
06:20I appreciate your help. I do.
06:24Your support means the world to me.
06:27That doesn't look like the roster.
06:31Like, should I even be asking you why you're researching Bronte Langford's medical records?
06:35Because someone has to expose her.
06:38Nina, anybody could have seen you doing this.
06:40No, I don't care. I don't. I'm doing this for Irene.
06:43You could get fired for this.
06:45Are you going to dob me in?
06:46I didn't say that.
06:47Good.
06:49Because there are no records of Bronte Langford anywhere in the world.
06:53There are no records of Bronte Langford anywhere in the world.
06:56Because she's not being treated yet.
06:58She said that she got blood tests.
07:01This is the proof that she wasn't contaminated by the diner.
07:08She could have got those tests done at any facility. That's not a proof.
07:13Yes, but if I was going to get more proof, I would have to look at every hospital in the state.
07:19Starting with the one she met Irene at.
07:22No. No!
07:24You're a doctor. You have the authority to request those records.
07:26I know you want me to risk my medical license.
07:28No, I want you to do the right thing.
07:43Alf, Tarnay's youth program needs your signature for the insurance.
07:47Yeah, yeah, I'll get to that.
07:48Listen, Palmer, do you think Irene and Leah are making a mistake donating this money?
07:53Let's just say Irene and Leah have big hearts.
07:55So you reckon they're being taken for a ride?
07:57Look, those two can be stubborn to say the very least.
08:00They're not going to change their minds, no matter what we think.
08:02For the first time, you might be right, Palmer.
08:05I'm not the lady in question. I might introduce you.
08:08Bronte, meet Alf Stewart.
08:10Hi.
08:11Hey. I'm sorry to hear about your illness.
08:13Thank you. Feel free to donate to my crowdfunding page.
08:18I might just do that. Can I ask you something?
08:21Yeah, sure, if it won't take too long.
08:24This business with Irene and Leah donating all this money...
08:28What about it?
08:29Well, it's a pretty big ask, don't you think?
08:33I'm sorry, who are you?
08:35Oh, Alf, Irene and Leah go way back.
08:38Alf's president of the club.
08:40Right. Sorry, I'm not feeling well, of course.
08:45They're your friends and you're just looking out for them.
08:48That's OK.
08:49I do really need to go, but it was nice to meet you, Alf.
09:00I wouldn't read too much into that. Normally she's as sweet as pie.
09:04So I keep hearing.
09:05Now, where's this paperwork, Palmer?
09:07Onto it.
09:16Oh, there's a consultation going on in here. Can you come back later? Thanks.
09:25What did you find?
09:28You have to promise me that nobody will ever find out about this.
09:31Yeah, or my life is wet.
09:35There are no medical records for Bronte Langford anywhere in the state.
09:41Yeah, I knew that. I knew it.
09:43I'm pleased one of us is happy about this.
09:45Bri, you don't see that this proves everything I've been saying?
09:49Yeah, but she could have been treated out of state.
09:51No, according to Irene, they met at a hospital in the city where she was getting tests done.
09:56OK, yeah, that raises a lot of questions.
09:58It explains why she wouldn't show you her pathology results. They're fake. Her whole illness is fake.
10:03I hear you. I hear you, but you still don't have enough proof you can use.
10:09No, but I can see what she has to say about it.
10:12Hang on, I think you need to tread carefully, yeah?
10:14Yeah, I will.
10:15Hang on, I've got to go.
10:22Well, working with divas, like the rest of Lyric, has taught me how to manage oversized egos.
10:26Oh, the irony.
10:28What about you? How's the soul gig going?
10:30Early days, but thanks to my charm and winning personality, I am rolling in the dips.
10:34Nice one.
10:36And are you playing nice with everyone?
10:38I haven't seen Mac, but when I do, I will deal with it.
10:42I'm proud of you, you know, for burying the hatchet.
10:44Yeah, me too. That mustn't have been easy.
10:46Thanks.
10:47Oi.
10:48What's up?
10:49That's Rose. I've got to take this.
10:51Hey, Rose, what's up? Any news?
10:53He seems pretty invested in becoming a cop again.
10:56Yeah, I think there's his heart set on it.
10:59OK, what exactly did they say?
11:02Great. That's great. That's great. So I've just missed out.
11:06Yeah, OK, Rose. Thanks a lot for checking for me. Cheers. Bye.
11:11Missed out on what?
11:12Rose was just making some enquiries for me because there was no openings at the Abbey Creek station,
11:16so she looked into Reefton Lakes station for me.
11:18OK, what did she say?
11:20There's no vacancies there either.
11:22Does that mean what I think it does?
11:24It means I'm stuffed.
11:29Ah, poor sick Bronte.
11:32Poor sick Bronte.
11:34It's good that you're here, actually, because I've got some stuff I want to talk to you about.
11:40I'm not interested in whatever version of Deluded you're selling today.
11:44You are not sick.
11:46I get it.
11:48Must be hard knowing your boyfriend is completely supportive of me.
11:53I found proof.
11:55What are you talking about?
11:56I checked your medical records at Northern Districts and every hospital in the state,
12:02including the one where you met Irene.
12:04And guess what? No records exist.
12:08Well, it's obviously a mistake.
12:11Or maybe no records exist because your illness is a scam and you just need to give it up.
12:21Are you trying to come up with some elaborate cover story right now?
12:27First thing I'm going to do is make a formal complaint to your boss for trying to access my records and you'll be fired.
12:35No one's really going to care about that when you're exposed as a fraud.
12:39And who will believe you?
12:41You've got no friends, no allies, not even your sister or your boyfriend.
12:47I have proof now.
12:49You've got a whole lot of accusations and not much else.
12:53Tell me something.
12:54Has your big mouth ever gotten you into trouble before?
13:02If that's a threat, it's pathetic.
13:08It's absolutely a threat.
13:25Come on. Pick up.
13:29Chase, listen. That problem I warned you about, it just got worse.
13:34Fine. I'll push harder for the money, but I'm not going to let her ruin this for us.
13:40We need to shut her up.
13:55Isn't it clear to see?
13:58By the way you fall so easily.
14:01Hey, Dana, are you a fan of bananas? These are a bit brown, but I think they're okay.
14:06Has something happened?
14:08It's Brontë.
14:10Still not seeing eye to eye, hey?
14:13No, it's more than that. I have found stuff that proves, basically, that she's a liar.
14:19Yeah, right. What sort of stuff?
14:20Well, I can't actually say it, but that's only because I made a promise to someone that I wouldn't get them in trouble.
14:25But believe me, it's credible.
14:27Which you can't say?
14:29I don't know why I thought that you'd be the one person that would actually listen to me.
14:33I am listening. You don't think this is the jealousy thing popping up again?
14:37No, I don't. I don't, because I confronted her and she didn't even try to deny it.
14:41She's seriously scary, okay?
14:43Take it easy.
14:44I don't know why it is impossible to get anyone to listen to me.
14:47Look, I am your friend. I'm here for you.
14:50But I can't just say I believe in something without credibility.
14:53Then what do I do? What do I do? Because nobody is listening to me and I don't know where to go from here.
14:58Okay, come on, come on. Things can't be that bad. Come on.
15:11Mr. Stewart, isn't it? Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to apologise again for being a bit off earlier.
15:18That's alright, love. Can't be easy living with an illness like yours.
15:22That's no excuse for rudeness. Can I buy you a dessert as an apology?
15:27No, look, that's not necessary. And I hear you're trying to raise all the money you can.
15:33This is true.
15:35Well, you keep your dough, eh?
15:37You're sweet. I hope I see you around.
15:39Hey.
15:40Hey.
15:41How are you feeling?
15:42Hanging in there. I don't suppose you've had a chance to speak to your husband?
15:46Justin has agreed to donate, so I will transfer the money to the crowdfunding page tonight.
15:54Your generosity blows me away.
15:56No, of course.
16:00Love, about that. I've spoken to the bank. I can get the money to you, no problem.
16:06It's just, it might take a bit of time. Sorry, it's all that refinance and red tape.
16:12Of course. Yes. No, it's not your fault.
16:15Love, shouldn't you be at home resting?
16:18Yeah, I would go back, but I don't want to make things worse.
16:22What do you mean?
16:24Dana.
16:26God, is she still giving you a hard time?
16:30She has made it very clear that she doesn't want me around.
16:34It really does feel like one of us has to move out.
16:37No. No one is going anywhere. I'll be home in a couple of hours. I'll sort it out, okay?
16:42Okay. Thanks. I'll see you at home.
16:45See you, love.
16:53Step it up. Table four need their drinks.
16:56You seem to be confused by the pecking order around here.
16:58My best mate's co-owner, so it kind of switches up the hierarchy.
17:01Oh, excuse me.
17:03Hey, I was joking. I'm sorry.
17:06Oh, order's all ready.
17:09Thanks.
17:11Is Dana working tonight?
17:13You haven't spoken to her?
17:15No. Sort of having issues. Just tired of her giving Bronte a hard time.
17:19Dana's having a hard time too. Maybe try reaching out to her?
17:22Yeah, I've tried. I'll try again.
17:25Thank you. Good luck.
17:41Hey. Who's your friend?
17:44Chase. We go way back. I told him all about your snooping.
17:49Right. Well, you must be devastated, knowing your good friend's so close to dying.
17:54Is that what you mean about that mouth of hers?
17:58Irene's going to be home soon.
18:00Irene will be at the diner until late.
18:02I'll see you later.
18:04Bye.
18:10Well, she wouldn't want anyone staying.
18:13Well, Chase isn't staying.
18:16Let's get this done.
18:21So you've done this before? Ripped off innocent people?
18:24Twice. Irene's my third mark.
18:26Never have met anyone as annoying and nosy as you, though.
18:32Well, I knew you were a suss from the start.
18:35Congratulations. Want to know what your prize is?
18:38Give it back! I'm not going to be intimidated by either of you!
18:42Me and that mouth again.
18:44So let's shut her up.
18:46Help! Help! No!
18:48Help! God!
18:50Help!
18:52Help!
19:06Hey. I wish you'd stayed longer at Salt.
19:10I get it.
19:14Whatever the police decide, we will figure it out together.
19:19They called me an hour ago.
19:21And?
19:23They want me back.
19:25Babe, that's fantastic.
19:27And they've offered me a return at my previous rank.
19:30Senior Constable. Babe, that is wonderful.
19:35What? Why are you not happy?
19:39There's a condition.
19:41I have to take a posting at Mangrove River.
19:44So?
19:46It's the worst police station in the whole state.
19:52Seriously?
20:00Hey, honey, my love.
20:02Hi.
20:04Oh boy, you'd think after all these years I'd be used to being on my feet all day.
20:09I am exhausted.
20:11Oh, listen to me banging on. How are you?
20:14Yeah, so-so.
20:16Just don't have the energy I used to.
20:18Oh, love, I'm so sorry.
20:19You feel like a cuppa?
20:21Yeah, I could try. Maybe some toast too?
20:24Yep, coming up.
20:26Hey, have you seen the girls?
20:28I haven't seen Harper, but Dana actually packed a bag and left a while ago.
20:33Oh, did she say where she was going?
20:36No, I asked. All she said was, away from you.
20:38Love, I hate to say it, but, you know, maybe a bit of time away from each other mightn't be a bad thing.
21:09Did you get a chance to talk to Dana last night?
21:12Actually, no. She's gone away.
21:14Seriously? Oh, because we had a fight?
21:16What's wrong?
21:18Oh, I just still haven't heard from Dana.
21:20Oh, I have. I just spoke to her.
21:22What did she say?
21:24She wanted everyone to know that she's fine and that she'll be back in a few days.
21:27She's talking to Bronte now and not you.
21:30Something doesn't feel right.
21:32No, I haven't done all of this work to cut and run now. It is one more day.
21:35Once we have this money, we will be done with this place.
