00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02I'm thinking you never worked through it at all.
00:04Maybe I could come to one of your sessions.
00:07I told you I'm not ready for this.
00:09I'm not ready!
00:10You're the one I want to be with.
00:12You said you're fine with being non-exclusive.
00:14Yeah, I know.
00:15Yeah, but if you keep acting weird, she's gonna know something's up.
00:17It's giving Aiden vibes.
00:18No, it's not.
00:19Lassiter's has been identified as a potential asset to divest.
00:23Report back to me if you spot anything else suspicious about Heath, alright?
00:26I need you to go to Warwi for a few days.
00:31Neighbors.
00:36Warwi Station.
00:38A.K.A. the middle of nowhere.
00:41You'll fly into Mount Harper.
00:43It's a two-hour drive to the station.
00:45The four-wheel drive will be parked outside the airport.
00:47Once you get there, it's all systems go.
00:48Yeah, make sure everything looks legit, no paperwork left behind.
00:51There's accommodation on site.
00:53It's several kilometers from the station entrance.
00:56Yeah, I still think Justin could have done this.
00:58I've got other work for Justin.
00:59Yeah, like what?
01:00We've got a dozen Sinclair investments in various stages of folding.
01:04So give me the update.
01:05Maybe I have some ideas.
01:07Just follow my instructions.
01:08Stop challenging me on everything.
01:10Then stop treating me.
01:12Come in.
01:15Hi.
01:16Hi.
01:17I've just been through the mystery shopper report.
01:19Do you have time to go through it with me?
01:20I can't.
01:21I have an off-site meeting.
01:23No worries.
01:24I was just curious about some of the recommendations.
01:26You can make the decisions.
01:28I trust you.
01:52Well, that's Nell and Hugo on their way.
01:54Thanks, Susan.
01:56Susan, I really didn't want to burden them with what's going on.
01:59They'll be fine.
02:01So what exactly happened at Rhonda's?
02:07Tony thought I was crashing his session.
02:10The way he yelled at me.
02:13The anger in his voice, it was like the nursery all over again.
02:18And he keeps saying that it's about him and not me, but I can't believe that.
02:27I know you two have survived a lot, but this anger that he has, it's not okay.
02:38No.
02:40I feel that what's happening to him, it's much bigger than he's admitting.
02:46But I love him.
02:48I don't want to support him.
02:51But I'm just a bit scared.
02:56I know you love him.
03:00I guess you just wait until he gets home and hear what he has to say.
03:26Hey.
03:48Come away with me.
03:50What?
03:51Tonight. Think of it as a mystery adventure.
03:54For how long?
03:55Travel through the night. Stay with me tomorrow night.
03:58Hang on, are we safe?
04:00No, but I mean, bring your passport. We might decide to have dinner in Sydney.
04:05You're serious?
04:06Tessa's sending me on a business trip. It's just boring admin stuff. Maybe you could keep me company.
04:12It's a private chartered flight. I'll pay the pilot a few extra bucks, get you on the passenger list.
04:18Why would I tell everyone?
04:20You've got the next couple of days off, don't you? Don't be going away with friends.
04:25Okay.
04:26Easy.
04:29Can I think about it?
04:32I will give you an hour.
04:47Don't look at me like that.
04:50I'm worried.
04:52You know, I wish I never told you. Out of everybody I thought you would understand.
05:04I told you things would move quickly.
05:07Yeah, I will need my lawyers to go over this.
05:10Of course. Do you have the funds?
05:14I'll have to give you a couple of days for that.
05:17I mean, I still haven't worked out what I'm going to do with Krista and Leo yet.
05:20You can blame it on me. After I'm gone.
05:24Yeah, when exactly is that?
05:26Soon.
05:30Now is not the time to hesitate, Paul. Not if you want to regain full ownership of this hotel.
05:44I thought you had an off-site meeting.
05:46I'm headed there now.
05:48See ya.
06:03Is that the contract of sale?
06:05Yep. She seemed in a mighty big hurry to push it through though.
06:10And in a hurry to avoid me.
06:13I just tried to talk to her about the mystery shopper company that she put me on to.
06:18I'm pretty sure the report is bogus.
06:21Why on earth would she leave you at the garden park?
06:24Wait, she's trying to make me look bad. Right?
06:29What other explanation could there be?
06:35I can't believe Kiri's gone.
06:38Her voicemail sounded so sad.
06:40Yeah, we can blame that one on Nicolette.
06:42But you don't know exactly what happened?
06:44Well, I don't know the full story and honestly I don't want to know.
06:48Hey, you okay?
06:50Yeah, I'm just thinking about Holly. She hasn't returned any of my messages.
06:55Yeah, me neither.
06:56When was the last time you saw her?
06:58A few minutes ago. I wish I hadn't.
07:05Alright, I'm not supposed to say anything, but I'm worried that this whole thing is going to blow up in Holly's face.
07:12What is?
07:14She's seeing Heath Royce or Heath Silverson, whatever that guy's name is.
07:19Hang on, the guy that's working with Tess.
07:22I told her that he's bad news.
07:24Yeah, but why is she keeping it so quiet?
07:26Probably because she knows that I'd have something to say about it.
07:28Say?
07:31There's more.
07:33He's sleeping with Tess.
07:35Of course he is. I mean, Holly said that she'd be fine with it, but how can someone be fine with something like that?
07:42Where are you going?
07:44Saving my idiot friend from herself.
07:56Why do you keep selling yourself short?
07:59What?
08:01Why would you settle for being Heath's side piece? I mean, can't you see that he's using you?
08:06Sadie blurbed.
08:08Of course she did. She's worried about you. I mean, didn't you learn anything from Eden?
08:10Don't even say his name.
08:12Why not? Afraid to make the comparison?
08:14Heath is nothing like Eden, OK? You don't know him, Mackenzie.
08:18I know that he's dodgy as hell.
08:20He told me about his past.
08:22OK, then why didn't you tell me that you were seeing each other?
08:24Because I knew that you would be all judgy about it.
08:26Holly, this guy is going to hurt you.
08:29I'm not stupid, OK? I know what I'm doing and I don't need you policing my life.
08:34This is none of your business.
08:36You're my friend. I love you.
08:41What time do we leave?
09:06Hi.
09:08Can I help you?
09:10Do you want me to join you?
09:13Sure you want to?
09:15Just because I haven't checked in on you lately doesn't mean I don't care.
09:19You don't have to explain yourself to me.
09:23I don't want things to be weird between us.
09:28I get it. You don't want to get caught up in my mess. I'd run a mile too.
09:40I'm trying to get my head together before going home to Therese.
09:49Feel like a coffee?
09:54Come on.
10:11How things around me start to change.
10:16It shoots me down and cuts me out.
10:21My happiness is crying out.
10:26Doesn't it seem strange?
10:31I just feel terrible for Therese.
10:33Tony is so angry. It's just not like him.
10:36I hope the counselling will make things better, not worse.
10:40Hey, are you going somewhere?
10:42Yeah, I'm just off with a friend for a couple of days.
10:44Which friend?
10:45A girl from housekeeping. You don't know her.
10:47Where are you going?
10:48Somewhere up north. I don't know. She's in charge of the travel. I'm sort of just along for the ride.
10:52Dad, it's fine. I've got a couple of days off.
10:54It's just a bit sudden. That's all.
10:56That's all part of the fun.
10:57Oh, that's my ride. I'll text you guys when we land. It'll be in the morning. It's just a late flight. Love you.
11:03Okay, love you.
11:04Have fun.
11:11Heading to Warwi as instructed.
11:13You don't have to say it like that.
11:15It's full on orders.
11:17I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you before.
11:20It's just that things are getting to a pointy end and I'm juggling a lot of balls.
11:23Yeah, you chose to do it on your own.
11:25We were supposed to be in this together.
11:27I know. I promise to make it up to you once we're free and clear. Okay?
11:34Look, I gotta go. I'm gonna miss my flight.
11:36Message me when you arrive?
11:45Hey.
11:48We need to talk.
11:52Yeah, I'll make it quick because I've got somewhere I've got to be.
11:54I know you've been sneaking around with Holly behind Tessa's back.
11:57So?
11:58So, I'm gonna be watching every move you make.
12:01And what are you gonna do about it, Mackenzie?
12:04I'm not afraid of you.
12:06Yeah, I see. Now you should be.
12:08Now back off or you're gonna find out what it's like to get hurt.
12:21There you are.
12:25Hey.
12:27Hey.
12:28There you are.
12:34Let the fun begin.
12:40I am so looking forward to having my own space again, even if Paul is my landlord.
12:46I'm glad things are working out for you.
12:49I even found the most perfect pig figurine.
12:55I bought it for myself as a housewarming present.
12:58You deserve it.
13:00It's just like this, but bigger.
13:08For what?
13:09For keeping me company.
13:11And not telling me off for how I've been acting lately.
13:16I really hope that you and Therese are okay.
13:21Can I get you guys anything else?
13:23Tess?
13:24Yeah?
13:25Okay, now I'm really worried about Holly because that creep just threatened me.
13:28Wait, Heath?
13:29Yeah, there was no mistaking it this time. He told me to back off or I'll get hurt.
13:32Where is he now?
13:33He drove off, probably to where he's staying.
13:35Okay, we need to tell the police.
13:37What can they do?
13:38Maybe nothing, but we need that on record.
13:39Totally.
13:41Okay, well then let's go.
13:42Yeah, let's go.
13:46Do you know this guy?
13:48Yeah, helped with the property purchase in Hawaii.
13:51Seemed like a decent guy.
13:54Clearly he's not.
13:58I know where he lives.
14:00Hang on, hang on. You're not thinking of going now, are you?
14:04Someone's got to sort him out.
14:06Do you think you're in the right headspace to be getting involved?
14:12Yeah, I think I'm in the perfect headspace.
14:15Well, in that case, I guess I'm coming with you.
14:20Come on.
14:24Come on.
14:32He's not here. You're going to have to talk to him another time.
14:38Toad.
14:40No, he crossed the line.
14:43Let's see how he likes it with someone up in his face, eh?
14:48We shouldn't be doing this.
14:53Heath!
14:56Please, Toad, can we just go?
15:02Heath!
15:04He'll be around here somewhere.
15:14Come on, we shouldn't be here.
15:18It's a fake passport.
15:20And...
15:22Ah, there's one for Heath too.
15:26Hold, there's nine million bucks in this bank account.
15:39What did the police say?
15:41Not much. They can't arrest Heath based on a threat.
15:44Well, maybe we can ask your dad and he'll give us some advice.
15:47Holly, please call me when you get this. Heath is dangerous.
15:51Mac, maybe we just need to give her some space, yeah?
15:56It's not like she's giving us a choice.
15:58I just hate that she sees us as the enemy.
16:00Hey, should we tell Tess about the complaint made against Heath?
16:04Are you trying to warn her about his past before and she didn't listen?
16:08Yeah, because she was getting it on with him.
16:12What are you thinking?
16:14Well, it's just...
16:16It seems Tess has been doing a bit of deep diving into our accounts.
16:19I think we should do a bit of a dive into hers.
16:25I haven't heard back from Toadie either.
16:28I'm sure he's just busy. He'll get back to you.
16:44What happened here?
16:47Well, there was a problem, but I took care of it.
16:55Hi. Hi.
16:57Thanks so much for coming round.
16:59Yeah, look, he hasn't come home and he's not answering his phone.
17:05Well, have you checked in with the kids?
17:07Yeah, look, I checked in, but I didn't want to tell them he was missing.
17:11I'm sure he'll be home soon.
17:13He's obviously avoiding me.
17:15Oh, Dad, there could be another explanation.
17:17Like what? How hard is it to come home and tell me what's on his mind?
17:21He must know that I'm worried sick.
17:24Hi, sorry, I hope we're not interrupting.
17:26We just wanted to update Toadie on the Heath situation.
17:30Yeah, well, I haven't seen him all afternoon.
17:34Oh, we saw him earlier at Harold's. He was with Melanie.
17:39Melanie?
17:41Yeah, they were just having a coffee.
17:44How did he seem?
17:46Fine, I guess. Honestly, I wasn't paying that much attention.
17:49You mentioned someone called Heath.
17:51Melanie, it's Carl. If you get this, could you call me please?
17:55And if you're with Toadie, ask him to call Therese too.
17:58Thank you, bye.
18:00So she's not answering either.
18:02So who's this Heath person you're talking about?
18:05He works with Tess for the Sinclairs.
18:07I think we should tell them.
18:09Tell us what?
18:11Um, Holly has been seeing him on the down low and he's a really shady guy.
18:18Is she at your place right now or taking off for the airport?
18:22She said she was going away with a friend from housekeeping.
18:25Okay, well, look, that might be true, but I think we have to consider the possibility that she's with Heath.
18:32If I, I, I, I, I focus.
18:39I can see a pattern to this.
18:46I can see a pattern to this.
18:52I can see a pattern to this.
18:57I can see a pattern to this.
19:03It's not, not, not, not, not perfect.
19:09But I could be convinced that it is.
19:14My world has never looked quite so small.
19:20What's left to measure, we know it all.
19:25We still look for magic.
19:31We still look for magic.
19:56Woo!
20:14Oh, my God!
20:26Oh, my God!
20:30Oh!
20:32Our sweet home!
20:34I mean, it's not exactly the Four Seasons.
20:36It's epic!
20:38Who used to live here?
20:40Managers of the station.
20:42They, uh, they left a couple of days ago, so I have no idea what kind of state this place has got to be in.
20:50I don't care.
20:52As long as we're together.
20:56Hmm.
21:00Do you really have to go check on the cattle?
21:03Oh, I'm not here to herd sheep.
21:05How would I know?
21:07You're being very secretive about this whole thing.
21:09I'm not.
21:11It's just boring admin stuff that I gotta do.
21:19Oh.
21:21Hmm.
21:24Is it Tess?
21:26Yeah.
21:28You know what? Why don't you get it?
21:31I promised that I'd message Dad and Susan anyway.
21:38You know what?
21:40She can wait.
21:42What?
21:44I like this side of you.
21:47Turn yours off, too.
21:48I mean, let's just forget about the world a little bit longer.
21:54Done.
21:56Now, what should we do first?
22:08Hey.
22:09Hi.
22:10Still no word?
22:11No, I drifted off to sleep, and I was sure he'd be there when I woke up, but he wasn't.
22:16Where is he?
22:18He's never done this before.
22:21There's something else that you need to know.
22:24Melanie didn't come home last night.
22:26We've been calling her and texting her. She hasn't responded either.
22:31So they're both missing.
22:33Together.
22:34Together.
22:48Coming up on Neighbours.
22:50I don't know what you're playing at, but you need to call me straight away.
22:53You know, there is one way to get to the bottom of all this.
22:56Call race?
22:57Well, we shouldn't assume the worst.
22:59How come not?
23:00I feel like Holly could be in some serious danger.
23:02Come away with me.
