00:00Previously on Neighbours
00:03I want the money.
00:04I'm going to need the proof that Toadie, Melanie and Holly are safe.
00:08Park a safe distance away and wait for the police.
00:11Okay, I've got you.
00:14Call Andrew.
00:15Where are you?
00:23Holly, help!
00:27You're kidding me.
00:30Neighbours
00:32Everybody needs good neighbours
00:36With a little understanding
00:40You can find the perfect blend
00:46Neighbours
00:50Should be there for one another
00:54That's when good neighbours
00:59Should be there for one another
01:05Help!
01:08Somebody help!
01:14Mackenzie?
01:18Mackenzie.
01:20The police are just a few minutes away.
01:22She's breathing.
01:23We need to stop the bleeding.
01:29Mack, it's okay.
01:31Just stay with me.
01:33Just stay here.
01:37Come on.
01:46Mackenzie, shut up.
01:47She's fine.
01:48She's okay.
01:49I don't have all the details right now, but the paramedics, they're flying in.
01:53Was anyone else injured?
01:56Heath Royce is dead.
01:59Tess sustained some minor injuries, but Holly, Melanie and Haz seem to be unharmed.
02:06What about Toadie?
02:07You haven't said Toadie.
02:09We haven't been able to locate him yet.
02:12Oh god.
02:13Melanie was the last to see him.
02:15When they escaped the cattle station, he went to look for help.
02:18But that must have been hours ago.
02:20We have several officers out there searching the area.
02:22Okay, what if he's been shot?
02:24I mean, he's already been hurt.
02:26There's no reason to think he's been shot, Therese.
02:29He's probably somewhere out there in the middle of nowhere.
02:32Anything could happen to him.
02:40Whoa.
02:43He died.
02:47Where's dad?
02:58Um, they were taken against their will.
03:14We really don't have all the details.
03:17Why didn't you tell us sooner?
03:20Oh, Nell, we didn't want to worry you until we knew exactly what was going on.
03:25They found him.
03:27Toadie's gonna be all right.
03:29Oh my god, is he hurt?
03:32He's severely dehydrated, but they think he's gonna be fine.
03:36Is there an update on Mackenzie?
03:38Apparently, she is stable.
03:39But they will be monitoring her on the flight back to Victoria.
03:42Oh my gosh, they're coming home.
03:44They're coming home.
03:45Come on, let's go get some ice cream.
03:47Wait.
03:54Listen, um, Holly is physically okay.
03:59But I think you should both know that she's been through quite the ordeal.
04:16So
04:38Tess is still being interviewed.
04:41I don't think they're gonna put her on the next flight.
04:47Are you ready to go home?
04:53Let's go.
05:16Sounds like Heath went completely psycho.
05:39Is Holly gonna get into trouble for this?
05:42Queensland police will see this as self-defense, you can be sure of that.
05:46This is gonna have a huge effect on her.
05:49All of them.
05:52We've got Tess in custody, so we'll have some answers soon.
05:55Mark my words, we're gonna be recouping every single cent she tried to steal, though.
05:58Wait, so was she in on the ransom demand?
06:02Seems that was something that Heath improvised, but there's still a bit to untangle.
06:07Were you really prepared to pull together five million dollars?
06:10Yeah, well, you know, fortunately it never came to that.
06:13Still, it's incredibly generous of you to offer.
06:16Hey, how are the kids?
06:23They're okay.
06:24They're insisting on coming to the hospital later, but I've told them it's a bit late.
06:28Yeah, I think it was the right call to not tell them anything sooner.
06:34How are you?
06:38Well, we all know things weren't great with Toadie before he was taken.
06:42But honestly, I'm just, I'm really relieved.
06:47I love him so much, and whatever's been going on, I'm going to fix it.
06:55Plane should be landing in a couple of hours.
06:57Oh, good.
06:58Thanks.
07:01You know, I never got a chance to ask, um, how are things with Therese?
07:06Oh, she was incredibly distressed.
07:09Yeah, but I mean, how are things between you and her?
07:12Between you guys?
07:13You were by her side all night.
07:17Yeah, yeah, we cleared the air.
07:21Well, she must have been grateful you offered to pay all that ransom.
07:27There's that face again.
07:28Why don't you tell me?
07:35You know, Leo, Therese was actually asleep when I received the ransom demand from Heath.
07:42And, you know, for a moment, just a brief moment, I wondered what it'd be like if I didn't act.
07:52What, you mean not even tell the police?
07:59And, yeah, Toadie and Therese's wedding photo caught my eye.
08:08It's a horrible thought.
08:09I mean, I know that, I do, but anyway, Andrew came in and I spoke up, yeah.
08:18Well, you did the right thing.
08:21Yeah, except a little while earlier, I was batting on to Therese about how much perspective
08:26I'd gained in New York and how respectful I was going to be of her and Toadie.
08:31And yet, the moment an opportunity arises, I see a chance to get back with her.
08:39I don't want to, you know, ever be afraid of this pull towards her.
08:54Oh, I can't see.
08:55Oh, Therese, she's really out of it.
08:57Room 21.
09:02Toad, hey.
09:06Hey, guys, hi, hi.
09:08Your head.
09:09It's not as bad as what it looks.
09:10Room 26.
09:11Can we come too?
09:13Why don't you just give us a minute and then you can all catch up, okay?
09:25Oh, sweetheart.
09:30You're okay.
09:32Oh, darling.
09:33How do you think you should get checked out at the hospital?
09:35Fine, fine.
09:37They check this out on the plane?
09:39Yeah, sure, yes.
09:40But I do want to go see Mac as soon as we've given our statements.
09:43Of course, of course.
09:43You can see Toadie then, too.
09:46This one was amazing out there.
09:51No, I wasn't.
09:52You were.
09:53She rescued Toadie and I from the station.
09:56And if she hadn't stopped Heath at the river, who knows what he would have done next.
10:02And he saved my life, too.
10:05I guess we saved each other.
10:07We're going to make sure you get all the support you need.
10:10Yeah, and you're going to stay with us tonight.
10:12You're not going home alone, all right?
10:12Yes, yes.
10:21So Holly and Melanie will need to get some statements from both of you
10:25and then you can be on your way.
10:26Why do we need to do that when we've already spoken to the Queensland Police?
10:30Well, it's a joint investigation between us and them.
10:33But you've got nothing to worry about.
10:35It was a through and through.
10:37The bullet exited cleanly.
10:38Nothing else was hit.
10:39So that's good, right?
10:42Well, no surgery, but the blood loss wasn't insubstantial.
10:45We've given her a transfusion and I've upped your pain meds so you can rest.
10:49Oh, sounds delicious.
10:50Which are probably kicking in right about now.
10:53OK, thank you.
10:57If there's anything you need, I'm right here, OK?
11:05Hey.
11:07Hey.
11:09Do you remember what we spoke about on the plane?
11:13Honestly, no.
11:15Got to love a painkiller.
11:18I'm going to say it again.
11:21Mac, I am so, so sorry that I didn't listen to you about Heath.
11:27Just know that I'm not going to be that person anymore.
11:30I'm going to get my act together.
11:35Mac, I think you should get some rest, yeah?
11:37You've been through a lot.
11:38Just going to close my eyes, just for a little bit.
11:45Blood pressure and heart rate are back where we want them.
11:48Can I go home?
11:49I'm going to keep you an overnight for observation, just in case.
11:54Come on in.
12:00Is he going to be OK?
12:01He will.
12:03And what about his head?
12:05Superficial cut, no stitches required, and he's all clear of concussion.
12:10Lucky you got such a hard head, hey?
12:12Hey.
12:12I'm glad you're all right.
12:14It makes two of us.
12:16I'll be back to check on you soon.
12:23I was worried that I wasn't going to see you again.
12:28Me too.
12:29I mean, I can't imagine what you've been through.
12:32I mean, we just got bits and pieces.
12:36So, um, it's going to take a little while for me to get my head around everything.
12:41Yeah.
12:43I'm sure it's going to be the same for the others, too.
12:44Yeah, absolutely.
12:49Hey, I know you've probably got a lot of questions as to why me and Melanie were together.
12:53That can wait.
12:54That can wait.
12:57Just know that I love you and I trust you.
13:14Listen, Toadie, I know there was a lot going on before you were taken.
13:19And the idea of you not being in my life is just unbearable.
13:26But whatever problems that we've got, we're going to work through them.
13:33Come here.
13:38Hey.
13:41Hey, everything's going to be okay.
13:4918 years.
14:0318 years I dedicated my life to your father.
14:08Whenever he called, no matter the time, day or night, I dropped everything.
14:15I was there.
14:17I know.
14:19When he died, I didn't realize everything was going to change.
14:23I thought Reese would see my value.
14:28Instead, she decided I was in the way.
14:33No one was supposed to get hurt.
14:36It was just a crazy scheme that spiraled horribly out of control.
14:42So why didn't you leave the country when you had the chance?
14:47Because I loved him.
14:49And I thought he was in love with me.
14:55But he was only in it for what he could get.
15:01You must think I'm an idiot.
15:07Surprisingly, this is the most human that I've ever seen you.
15:15I'm so, so sorry.
15:19I've treated you very badly.
15:23If you really mean that, then you will take full responsibility for what you've done.
15:40We've spent far too long in this hospital.
15:43Let's just promise to never do it again to each other.
15:45Yeah?
15:45Yeah, deal.
15:47Great.
15:49Good morning.
15:51Hey, how are you feeling?
15:54Um, good.
15:58Honestly, I'm struggling a bit.
16:02Me, too.
16:04Is Therese coming to get you?
16:06Soon, yeah.
16:09Just want to thank you both for everything that you did.
16:13No, we're just sorry that you and Melanie got caught up in it.
16:18We're home now.
16:19And the West is behind us.
16:26Morning.
16:27Morning.
16:28Oh, what's all this?
16:31It's my way of saying sorry for everything that I've put you through.
16:35Oh, darling.
16:35No, no, no.
16:36We're supposed to look after you, not the other way around.
16:38No, it's fine.
16:39Um, could you guys go outside and set the table, and I'll bring the food out.
16:43Yeah, sure.
16:43Sounds lovely.
16:49Come on, Holly.
17:03Where are you?
17:18I'm fine.
17:19Sorry.
17:20Sorry.
17:21Sorry, I don't want them to see me like this.
17:24They care about you.
17:26We all do.
17:30Where were you just now?
17:34Back in that silo.
17:38Trying not to breathe.
17:41Trying not to move.
17:44It was terrifying for you.
17:47Heath.
17:49Chasing us through the bush and hearing those gunshots.
17:52I thought that we were all gonna die.
17:55Me too.
18:00I had to push him in the river.
18:02I had to.
18:05But seeing him in the water and hearing his cries.
18:12No, I'm fine.
18:13I'm fine.
18:14You know what?
18:16You're not.
18:17And neither am I.
18:20And that's okay.
18:22But you didn't cause this situation.
18:26I knew that Heath was trouble, and I still went for him.
18:31You are not responsible for this.
18:34I didn't listen to anyone.
18:37And that led to him threatening Mac, and you and Toadie going to Tessa's house.
18:42Heath, slow down.
18:43Everything that happened is all because of me.
18:45It's all because of me.
18:47You are not to blame.
18:49You are a victim in all of this.
18:54And you need support.
18:56Just like the rest of us.
19:06I think I'm ready to talk.
19:15How is it so?
19:28The day you come, day you go.
19:32And I can see the rise of a falling fire.
19:37And here I'm gone.
19:40Singing hey-ya-hey-yo.
19:43And I had to get away from him, and so I ran into this shed, and then another one.
19:52And I can see it now, the red flag waving in the light of day.
19:58They won't take you down.
20:02Nothing's gonna change till we all can say.
20:05I should have believed that I was wrong.
20:08I was wrong, oh no.
20:10I should have believed that I was wrong.
20:13I was wrong, oh no.
20:15I believe we're moving on.
20:18We need to learn.
20:20If we can say I believe that I was wrong.
20:23Oh, um, don't touch that one.
20:24You go put it on his head.
20:25Oh.
20:26Do you want a cup of orange juice?
20:29Yeah, thank you.
20:30Yeah.
20:33Born from the earth.
20:34Okay.
20:36A one-beat bumper.
20:39But call your brother blind.
20:41Say that you're the one with vision.
20:47And in the end, you shouldn't open your ears.
20:54Because years won't make you wise if you don't try to listen.
21:01Chaos is the law.
21:04Keep on falling down in the same way.
21:07I hope you have a good walk.
21:09Yeah, I do.
21:29Do you want to tell me what happened out there?
21:34I mean, if you don't, that's okay too.
21:38But you have been through a horrible experience, so you should feel whatever you need to feel.
21:48But we could just, you know, have a nice day.
21:51We can forget about it for now and just watch a movie or whatever.
21:55I mean, I'm up for anything.
21:59We can talk about us later.
22:02Um, I can't do this.
22:08What do you mean?
22:12I've been trying to convince myself that everything's gonna be okay, but it's not.
22:21Therese, I can't be with you anymore.
22:24So,
22:35coming up on Neighbours.
22:37What went so wrong with Kiri?
22:40It's...
22:42Nick, just tell me.
22:44I had a vision and it just suddenly all made sense.
22:50Toadie's left Therese.
22:54What?
