00:00Previously on Knibbers.
00:02Borrowee Station.
00:03You're flying to Mount Harper.
00:04Now is not the time to hesitate, Paul.
00:06I know you've been sneaking around with Holly.
00:08Back off or you're gonna find out what it's like to get hurt.
00:10He drove off probably to where he's staying.
00:12Someone's gotta sort him out.
00:14There's nine million bucks in this bank account.
00:16It was a problem, but I took care of it.
00:19I haven't seen him all afternoon.
00:21Melanie didn't come home last night.
00:23Come away with me.
00:24Yeah, I'm just off with a friend for a couple days.
00:26Is it Tess?
00:27She can wait.
00:28Turn yours off too.
00:31Knibbers.
00:45This is heaven.
00:47You're heaven.
00:51You sure I can't come to the station with you when you go?
00:54No, it's better for you to stay here and to keep coming up with ideas like this.
01:00Oh.
01:20You turned your phone back on?
01:21Only to check the way to the station.
01:26There.
01:27No more distractions.
01:30No.
01:38I should probably message Dad and Susan.
01:42Mackenzie too.
01:46Why her?
01:48Well, she's wrong about you.
01:50So, um...
01:53She's still my friend.
01:55She's only your friend when it suits her.
02:00Why do you say that?
02:01I'm saying he's the same.
02:04You'll always come second best to their boyfriend.
02:10You know, it has felt a lot like that lately.
02:19Let's go for a walk.
02:21Yeah, there's a river nearby.
02:23Can't I relax a little longer?
02:26I am an American in the outback.
02:30I gotta see some rooms.
02:33This would be calm, isn't it?
02:35Come here, you.
02:36Leap away.
02:42Why aren't you picking up?
02:44I don't know what you're playing at, but you need to call me straight away.
02:49There's been a development.
02:52Then pick one.
02:56So they were last seen at 4pm at Harold's.
03:00Surely there's something you can do.
03:03Technically, Toadie and Melanie haven't been gone long enough to be considered missing persons.
03:08But they are missing.
03:10They couldn't have just fallen off the face of the earth.
03:13Look, I have to ask this, considering what happened at Rhonda's office.
03:18But is there a chance that they're lying low on purpose?
03:21No, no.
03:23Are you sure?
03:27Um, did Toadie say something to you?
03:31No, no, no, it's nothing like that.
03:33I'm just simply approaching this like I would any other case.
03:36I need to consider all options.
03:38Whatever you're hinting, he wouldn't, he wouldn't do that to me again.
03:43No, no, I agree.
03:45He's not in that headspace.
03:47Listen, I know, um, I know Toadie and Melanie are the priority, but we're worried about Holly too.
03:53She said she'd get in touch and she hasn't.
03:55Well, Sadie did tell me about that Heath guy.
03:57She said she was going away with someone from housekeeping, but Susan, I suspect she's with him.
04:12Did you find anything?
04:13Nope.
04:14Oh, thanks.
04:15But I was inspired to make some calls.
04:17The hotel that you lost the experiences to or to was the Quill Group.
04:21Oh, let's just say I have a history with them.
04:23Anyway, I rang a contact there and they were cagey at first, but they did seem to know Tess.
04:28What? How?
04:30I don't know, you don't suppose she might have tipped them off at all?
04:33You mean, so they'd swoop in and steal the contract?
04:38Well, she did give you a bum steer with that mystery shop accompanying.
04:41Yeah, at a huge cost to us it is.
04:43Yeah.
04:45It's like she's creating little expensive fires everywhere, isn't it?
04:49Yeah, but to what end?
04:52I don't know. Me thinks it's time I had another discussion with Miss Carmichael.
04:57Good luck.
05:00You know, there is one way to get to the bottom of all this.
05:04Call Rhys.
05:05Call Rhys.
05:10I'm scared of what she's going to say.
05:13But you need to know if she's across this sale.
05:16Yeah, but if she is, then I mean she doesn't care about me at all.
05:22Then don't take it lying down. You're a Sinclair too.
05:26Yeah, the one that brought shame to her family.
05:29Call her. I'll be right here.
05:33According to Katrina Marshall, no one in the housekeeping has even talked about doing a trip.
05:37It sounds like Holly fed you a story.
05:40Susan and I honestly believe she was in a better place.
05:43We all wanted to think that.
05:45She's just done a post just now to her stories.
05:48Really?
05:51Wait, that guy.
05:52Is that his?
05:53Could be.
05:54She doesn't say where she is?
05:55There's no caption and based on this she could be literally anywhere.
05:58Okay, well she does seem to be in good spirits, that's something.
06:01Keep trying to call her.
06:02Yeah, I'd better get back across the road.
06:07It's so strange that Toadie and Melanie have gone missing and now Holly's gone on this random trip.
06:15What are you doing?
06:17I'm going into the metadata on Holly's post. It might tell us where she is.
06:21If that's all you can tell me then that's fine.
06:24Thanks Rhonda.
06:26Bye.
06:29She can't betray client confidentiality.
06:32So she couldn't tell you anything?
06:34She did say that she doesn't think that Toadie would stray with Mel.
06:37Well, at least we all agree on that.
06:39Oh yes, absolutely.
06:40Yeah, I'm not doubting him. I'm not.
06:44It's just, there was something he kept repeating in Rhonda's office.
06:49I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not ready for what? What?
06:55I don't know.
06:57Well, whatever it was, it sounds like he was prepared to tell Mel.
07:01Why not me?
07:05It's funny, isn't it? The minute that you leave home all your problems melt away.
07:09What problems do you have? I mean, besides annoying friends.
07:15Well, there's a slight issue of my life lacking any direction.
07:20Alright, well what do you want to do? I mean, dream as big as you want.
07:27Well, once upon a time it was medicine.
07:30Boring.
07:34I don't know, being out here makes me realise how much I miss travelling.
07:40Yeah, well, I mean there's a big wide world out there.
07:48Which brings me to my next problem.
07:51All my savings are supposed to be for buying a car.
07:53All my savings are supposed to be for buying a car.
07:56Well, I mean, you could come travelling with me.
08:01Which brings me to my next problem.
08:04The guy that I like is still seeing another woman.
08:10Yeah, well, I'm going to leave Tess when we get back from here.
08:17Really?
08:19Yeah, I'm going to get what I'm owed and go my own way.
08:23Work entitlements, that is.
08:26Right.
08:49Tess, wait!
08:54Tess!
09:02Come away with me.
09:07You're not talking about dinner in Singapore again?
09:10No, I'm talking open ticket.
09:13That's huge.
09:15I mean, we've come this far, right?
09:18Well, I'd have to go home and talk about it with everyone first.
09:21They're only going to talk you out of it.
09:23Well, I can't leave without talking to Dad and Susan.
09:26I'm sure that goody-goody Mackenzie, I bet she's already been in there a year.
09:31Are you serious?
09:33Cross my heart. I mean, you packed your passport, right?
09:36Yeah.
09:48Did you see that? I think it was a roo.
09:50Come on!
09:54Come on!
10:08Wait for me!
10:19Yeah, it was really good to talk to you too, Race.
10:23I will.
10:25Okay, bye.
10:29She had no idea about the sale?
10:32No.
10:34Apparently she hasn't spoken to Tess in weeks.
10:36How is that possible? Tess manages one of the key territories.
10:40Apparently they weren't getting along.
10:42So Race sent her to the Asia Pacific to get her out of her hair.
10:46Okay.
10:48Well, I should let Dad know.
10:50Yeah.
10:53Bye.
11:13Dad? Dad, are you with Tess?
11:16No, no. She took off.
11:18Well, did she see you?
11:19I'm not sure, but anyway, I'm in the house now.
11:22I can tell you, it looks like she's gone for good.
11:24Well, there could be a good reason for that.
11:26Look, Race had no idea about the sale.
11:29It sounds like Tess has gone completely rogue.
11:34Dad?
11:36Yeah, hold on mate.
11:50I've tried everything.
11:52The metadata must be corrupted.
11:54Do you think the police would have more luck?
11:57Well, at this stage they probably wouldn't devote resources to it.
12:05There is something I could do.
12:07I can't believe I'm saying this.
12:09What is it?
12:11I've been wanting to put my past behind me and try to have a legitimate career.
12:16Tess.
12:17I could hack Holly's phone.
12:22I know that this is a big deal for you.
12:25Yeah, well he threatened you.
12:27He's clearly a loose cannon.
12:29Yeah, and I didn't want to say this to Carl, but I feel like Holly could be in some serious danger.
12:34Then I know what I have to do.
12:36Don't ask how, but we know where Holly is.
12:39Where?
12:40About two hours south of Mount Harper.
12:42That's Queensland, isn't it?
12:44Yeah, it's inland, it's a small town, less than a hundred people.
12:46Why would she be so far from a town like that?
12:48No idea.
12:50We have coordinates, but there is a margin for error.
12:52There are only two coordinates.
12:54One is in the city, the other is in the city.
12:56I don't know where she is.
12:58I don't know where she is.
13:00I don't know where she is.
13:02I don't know where she is.
13:03There is a margin for error.
13:05There are only two connecting flights to Mount Harper per week, and can you believe there's one leaving in a couple of hours?
13:11Hang on, was there one yesterday as well?
13:13Heath must have arranged the travel privately.
13:15We think that we should be on that flight, just in case.
13:18You're that worried?
13:20Look, we don't know if it's going to be a wild goose chase or not.
13:24Yeah, well I should come too.
13:27No, you should stay.
13:29I'm guessing you haven't heard from Toadie and Melanie yet?
13:31No.
13:32Okay, well you're needed here, and when we find Holly we'll let you know.
13:36Whoa.
13:37It's incredible of you to do this.
13:39Thank you, thank you both of you.
13:41Of course.
13:42Okay.
13:43Take care.
13:54Did you see Melanie or Toadie at all yesterday?
13:57No, I'm sorry, I already mentioned that to Andrew as well.
13:59Alright, could you just ask around, see if anyone knows anything?
14:02Of course, of course.
14:03Hey, any updates?
14:05Um, so this is what Paul found in Tess Carmichael's apartment.
14:09Yeah, we don't know who it belongs to.
14:10I mean, do you recognise it at all?
14:12That's Melanie's.
14:13She was wearing that yesterday.
14:15You sure?
14:16Yeah, no, she even made a point of showing me.
14:18She was comparing it to this figurine she just bought.
14:21Alright.
14:30Okay.
14:43Alright, I'm heading off.
14:45Okay, um, before you go, do you have any idea where my phone went?
14:49Hmm, when do you remember last seeing it?
14:52I thought I had it with me on our walk.
14:54I don't think you did.
14:56Well then it must be here somewhere, but I've looked everywhere.
14:58I really miss your dad.
15:02I mean, not my phone.
15:06Well, what's the number?
15:10Zero four.
15:11Zero four.
15:12Nine nine.
15:13Nine nine.
15:22Alright, I want half of you inside, half of you searching the grounds with me.
15:25Yes, Sarge.
15:26You need to leave.
15:27This is a potential crime scene.
15:28I am not going anywhere.
15:30Therese, I will call you if we find anything.
15:32Isn't it worth it being here, though?
15:34If you find something that potentially belongs to Toadie, she can identify it.
15:38There's nothing to suggest that Toadie was in here.
15:40Yeah, but it looks like Melanie was, and he was last seen with her.
15:43Oh, come on, Andrew, she needs to be here.
15:46Alright, just don't move from this spot.
15:48Okay, okay, thank you.
15:51Hey, hey, hey, try not to worry too much.
15:52I don't understand any of this.
15:54What was Melanie doing here?
15:56And if Toadie was here too, then why?
15:58Why?
15:59Over here.
16:02Get forensics here now.
16:05Don't let her get away.
16:26Don't let her get away.
16:57Good afternoon.
16:59Where the hell have you been?
17:01You know, I don't really like your tone.
17:03In fact, if you keep talking to me that way, I'm going to end the call.
17:07Heath, just listen to me.
17:09Something serious has happened, and I need you to take care of it.
17:12I mean it, Tess.
17:14When you say jump, I no longer say how high.
17:23Well?
17:27Oh, why would Justin do that?
17:31He felt he had no other choice.
17:33I'm not happy about it, but what's done is done.
17:36This is make or break time.
17:38Expect a call from Justin.
17:40He'll let you know what the next steps are.
17:57Are you sure it's alright with me being here?
18:02Listen, I put in a call to John Wong.
18:04Well, I figured if the police can't find Melanie and Toadie, perhaps a PI can.
18:11Hey.
18:12Any news from the police?
18:14No.
18:15Forensics is still testing the blood.
18:17Okay, well, we shouldn't assume the worst.
18:19No, no, no, no.
18:21I'm sorry.
18:22Forensics is still testing the blood.
18:24Okay, well, we shouldn't assume the worst.
18:26No, how can we not?
18:28It's been almost 24 hours.
18:30Oh, Therese.
18:32No, they are both missing.
18:34Something terrible has happened, I know it.
18:36I do.
18:49Are you okay?
18:50Yeah, fine.
18:52I know it was a big deal for you, hacking into Holly's phone.
18:56Yeah.
18:58She's not going to be happy with me.
19:00Or me.
19:02But it'd be worse if something happens to her and we didn't take the chance to act.
19:07Yeah.
19:20What?
19:50Hey!
19:52Finally!
19:53You're back!
19:54Let's dance.
19:55Maybe later.
19:56What about some wine?
19:57Do you want some wine?
19:58Beef?
19:59Yeah, wine.
20:00Oh, um, did my dad message back yet?
20:01No.
20:03Oh, sweet, I thought for sure he'd respond.
20:04Can I call him?
20:05I still can't find my phone.
20:06No.
20:07Hey, you're being weird.
20:08No, I'm not.
20:09Did something happen at the station?
20:10No.
20:11What is your problem?
20:12Your attitude.
20:13You're being ungrateful.
20:15Because I asked to use your phone.
20:16Because I bring you out to this amazing place for you to forget about home for a bit
20:19and all you have done is talk about everyone back at Ahrensboro.
20:24Do you want to be here or not?
20:42We've been racking our brains trying to figure out why Toadie and Milt would go to Tessa's house.
20:47Mackenzie said she told them about Heath's threats.
20:51Toadie's very protective of her.
20:58Andrew.
21:00So we've got a positive ID on the blood test.
21:05I'm sorry, it's Toadie's.
21:10I can't believe this is happening.
21:13Where is he?
21:15Where's Melanie?
21:16Where's Melanie? Where are they?
21:17Where are they?
21:45Coming up on Neighbors.
21:46I keep going over our last conversation.
21:49What if something terrible happens to her?
21:52What if I never get the chance to make things right?
21:54What about going to the kids?
21:56He's the only parent they've got left.
21:58I can't lose him.
