00:00♪ Closer each day
00:03♪ Home in the way
00:09Perry's dad broke the AVO and attacked him.
00:11He's just defending himself, you know.
00:13I need to talk to him. Where is he?
00:14He's gone.
00:15Your phone is off. They can't trace you.
00:17You're safe here.
00:18You're harbouring him and you need to tell me...
00:19I told you, I don't know where he is.
00:22Where are you going?
00:23Where do you think? To find Perry.
00:25Tanit, stop.
00:27You need to come down to the station with us.
00:29Justin, please.
00:30Cleo has probably spent the night thinking
00:32that I'm heading to ditch somewhere because of you.
00:34What are you doing?
00:35I'm going home.
00:40Finally.
00:41I'm sorry I must have been worried
00:42when I didn't come home last night.
00:44That's one way to put it.
00:45Where are you exactly?
00:46I will fill you in on everything as soon as I get home.
00:48Don't bother. I won't be here.
00:53What's going on?
00:54Are you alright?
00:55I've left, Justin.
00:57You're looking for something that reminds you of your sister?
00:59Yeah.
01:00The transplant didn't change who I am.
01:02It just made me well again.
01:03Cash said you were hitting the road.
01:05He's taking me to meet Gary and visit Felicity's grave.
01:11You alright?
01:12Not at all.
01:26Hey.
01:27Hey.
01:28Any word from Cash after his little adventure to the farm?
01:31Ah, you know, my very recent ex-fiance and I
01:33aren't exactly on catch-up terms, John.
01:36Sorry.
01:37Sorry.
01:38I, um, no, I haven't heard anything.
01:40I just...
01:41I hope that connecting with Michelle is helping him.
01:44It has for me, I think.
01:45Well, that sounds positive.
01:47Yeah.
01:48At least they were miles away
01:49from all that grisly business at Cash's place last night.
01:52What happened last night?
01:53Didn't you see all the emergency vehicles?
01:55Or hear the news this morning?
01:56No, I was staying at Levi's.
01:59Hey, sorry.
02:00Have either of you seen Perry this morning?
02:02Well, you've clearly heard the news.
02:03And I saw Tarnay being taken away in a cop car.
02:05Do you know what that's all about?
02:06Okay, uh, can someone please tell me what is going on?
02:13This is such a waste of time.
02:14We should be out there looking for him.
02:15Can you sit down, please?
02:17You know, Perry's phone is switched off.
02:19Which means we can't track his location.
02:22Same trick you pulled when you were on the run.
02:25What are you saying?
02:26That I told him to do that?
02:27Did you?
02:28No.
02:30He needs to come forward and tell us what happened.
02:32I've already told you it was self-defense.
02:33Yeah, it was self-defense.
02:34Except you weren't there.
02:37If you're involved in any of this,
02:38you're not going to get away with it.
02:39You're not going to get away with it.
02:40You're not going to get away with it.
02:41You're not going to get away with it.
02:42You're not going to get away with it.
02:43You're not going to get away with it.
02:44You're not going to get away with it.
02:45If you're involved in this in any way, shape or form,
02:48if you're hiding Perry,
02:50you could be charged with aiding and abetting.
02:53Plus, you're on a suspended sentence.
02:55For the last time, I have no idea where Perry is.
03:00I feel like such an idiot.
03:02Why?
03:03You're not the one at fault.
03:05Well, no one's saying that, but I am a bit confused.
03:08I haven't seen any proof of this so-called affair.
03:11I told you what the husband said.
03:13It's obvious what's going on.
03:15Yeah, but have you actually sat down with Justin
03:18and heard his side of the story?
03:19I sat up all night waiting for him.
03:22He had every chance to talk to me.
03:24I don't think Leah needs us to take sides right now.
03:27Who said anything about taking sides?
03:32Leah, look, you're more than welcome to stay with us
03:35until you and Justin sort this out.
03:38I've been here before, Alf.
03:40I'm not going to be humiliated any more than I already have been.
03:45Just the usual, thank you.
03:59Jill.
04:00Hey.
04:01Have you seen Leah around?
04:02Not today.
04:06Hey, what's going on?
04:07You're looking a bit rough.
04:10No.
04:12If you see her, can you just tell her to call me?
04:14It's fine.
04:17This will be her now.
04:18Alf, hey.
04:21Is she okay?
04:23Can you put her on the phone? I really need...
04:29Yeah, of course.
04:41That's the best feeling in the whole world.
04:43Stretching your legs after a long drive.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Hey, do you know what time my train leaves?
04:48I just don't want to miss it.
04:49Oh, not for a couple of hours.
04:50Don't worry.
04:51I'll get you there.
04:52Do you want to have a cup of tea?
04:53Sure.
04:55Better yet, you know, you could spend the night, rest up.
04:58In the morning, I can set you up in the spare room.
05:00Oh, you've been so generous these last few days, Cash.
05:03Both you and Gary.
05:04Gary was so happy to meet you.
05:05Yeah, I was really happy to meet him too.
05:07But seriously, I just don't want to take up any more of your time.
05:09I don't have any plans.
05:11Unless you want to go.
05:12No.
05:13No, I'm pretty exhausted from that trip,
05:15so staying over is probably a good idea.
05:17Michelle!
05:18Hi!
05:19How was the trip?
05:20How was Gary?
05:21Yeah, it was great.
05:22And you're back here for a bit?
05:23Michelle's going to spend another night at my place.
05:27Um, have you spoken to Darnay?
05:30No.
05:32Why?
05:33Does Perry have any friends we could talk to?
05:36Or any other family?
05:37No, which is why I need to get out there and find them.
05:39Right.
05:40Well, you've not been able to give us any leads,
05:42so where exactly are you going to start looking?
05:44Am I being charged with anything?
05:45No.
05:46Then I'm leaving.
05:54Hey.
05:55Have you seen Perry this morning?
05:56Have you heard from him?
05:57No.
05:58What happened to Darnay?
05:59It was an accident, right?
06:02I don't think it's smart to talk here.
06:04I've got to go find him.
06:06Let me know how you go.
06:08Come through.
06:16What did he just say to you?
06:19Just that he's worried about Perry.
06:22He told us he was with you last night.
06:23Is that true?
06:25You don't think he had anything to do with this?
06:28No, I don't.
06:29But that doesn't mean he's not hiding a suspect.
06:32Why don't we do something?
06:33What do you feel like?
06:34Shall we go for a walk?
06:35Yeah, sure.
06:37Give her a break, eh?
06:44What's he doing here?
06:45Well, you two do have things you need to sort out,
06:48and not in front of the peanut gallery.
06:50Thanks, Alf.
07:02Hey.
07:07Look.
07:09I don't know what you think is going on.
07:10I know that you were with Claudia.
07:13Yeah, I told you.
07:14So you admit to spending the night with another woman?
07:16Ooh.
07:17Ooh, no, no, no.
07:18It's not like that.
07:20Is that what you think's going on?
07:22Yeah.
07:23I was with her because I had to give her a lift.
07:26And that took all night?
07:27She wouldn't let me leave, you know.
07:29She threw my keys away, and then I couldn't get reception.
07:32Justin, even if I was to believe that,
07:34I'm not saying that I do.
07:35What about all the other lies?
07:38I've been driving her to appointments to make up
07:40for the mistake that Theo made with her car.
07:45But nothing else happened between us.
07:48I don't believe you.
07:59♪♪♪♪♪
08:17Thanks, buddy.
08:18Oh, goodbye.
08:20♪♪♪♪♪♪
08:28Didn't expect to see you back here.
08:30I didn't expect to be.
08:32I am sorry about yesterday.
08:34I tried looking for your keys, but I couldn't find them.
08:36I've got a spare.
08:41I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship.
08:43Claudia, we're not friends.
08:45Even after everything that's happened?
08:46Especially after everything.
08:49Right.
08:51Well, I guess that's it, then.
08:52Not before you do one last thing for me.
08:55I want you to tell Leah we're not sleeping together.
08:59I am not getting involved in someone else's marriage.
09:02You already are.
09:04And this is the least you could do for me.
09:10I hope that poor boy's okay.
09:12Yeah, wherever he is.
09:14Where's Tyner now?
09:15Uh, John said the police took him to the station.
09:18Okay.
09:19I might head down there and see if I can figure out what's going on.
09:22Are you gonna be right here for a bit?
09:23Yeah, I'll be fine.
09:24Okay, I'm not gonna be long.
09:31How was Gary?
09:33Sad about not having you as a future daughter-in-law.
09:37But he only had nice things to say.
09:39Hmm, yeah.
09:40Sucks that Cash got to keep his foster dad in the breakup.
09:49Uh, sorry.
09:50Hey, don't be. Don't be.
09:53What is it?
09:55These last few days have been kind of intense.
09:58Not surprising.
09:59You and Cash have been joined at the hip.
10:02But he seems really happy you're sticking around, though.
10:05Yeah.
10:08Was it his idea for you to stay the night?
10:11But I'm happy to.
10:13You know, if that's what he needs.
10:16Hmm.
10:18Okay, so we left.
10:21Right.
10:22There's still no sign of Perry.
10:29Okay, keep me posted.
10:35Tanya.
10:37Hey, what happened?
10:38Perry's dad showed up and attacked him.
10:40So, self-defense?
10:42Yeah, he didn't have a choice.
10:43You believe him?
10:44I know they had a history.
10:45Well, then you'll know how violent Carl was.
10:47So whatever happened wasn't Perry's fault.
10:49You know, he was trying to turn his life around and he was doing that.
10:52Until...
10:54Until what?
10:56I should have realized Carl was threatening him.
10:58Oh, Tanya, don't blame yourself.
10:59It was my job to protect him.
11:01I have to do everything I can to clear his name.
11:04You can't blame Rose for being suspicious.
11:07This looks bad.
11:08I know it does.
11:15I'm too weak to flee.
11:20And it's like I've been lost at sea.
11:27I'm still free-falling.
11:31We down.
11:33We down.
11:41Hey, hey, how did you go down the station?
11:43Fine.
11:44Rose just had a few questions about Perry.
11:46What about Tanya? Is he in any strife?
11:48No, he left just after I got there.
11:50Well, that's something.
11:51I suppose Perry's gonna be in a spot of bother when he gets back.
11:54If he gets back.
11:57Hey.
11:58Hey, I got your text.
12:00Listen, I'm sorry you've been dragged into all this.
12:02It's the last thing you need.
12:03That's alright.
12:04I want to help, if I can.
12:06Is it safe to talk here?
12:08Yeah.
12:09How was your interview?
12:10Oh, you know, same questions over and over.
12:12Rose trying to push me to tell her where Perry is,
12:14which obviously wasn't going to happen.
12:16Because you can't tell her, or you won't?
12:19What, you think I'm hiding him too?
12:20I'd understand if you were protecting him.
12:22I'm not hiding him.
12:23I'm sorry, I had to ask.
12:26Did you?
12:29Happy New Year.
12:38Let me just call Leah and see if she'll come home and talk.
12:45Hey.
12:46What is she doing in our house?
12:47Okay, okay, listen.
12:49We need to talk this out, okay, all of us.
12:51Look, there's been a misunderstanding.
12:53Do you want me to go?
12:54There is something that we need to talk about.
12:55Come on, Leah, this is really important, okay?
12:57Leah, nothing happened.
12:59Besides you trying to seduce my husband.
13:01I'm just going to give you some privacy.
13:03I'm sorry for what I did, it was wrong.
13:06So you admit it?
13:08Hey, can you please just listen to her?
13:27Look, this is going to have to wait.
13:28I need to find Perry.
13:29Just stop and talk to me, I'm sorry.
13:31I wasn't trying to make this any harder for you.
13:33You really think I'd want to mess with a suspended sentence?
13:36No, not at all.
13:37Especially with a kid on the way.
13:38I want them to have a dad, one that's not in prison.
13:41I get it, I'm sorry.
13:44It's okay, I'm sorry too.
13:46She's been a nightmare of a day.
13:48I just don't know where to find Perry.
13:50Like, where the hell is he?
13:53So Perry's the only suspect?
13:55I can't discuss that, John.
13:56What if he's innocent?
13:57Well, we'll only know once he's found and questioned.
14:00If you see anything, get in touch.
14:12An arts degree, that is amazing.
14:14And one more degree than I have.
14:18Well, I haven't gotten in yet.
14:20But, um, yeah, it's something I've always wanted to do.
14:24It's going to be a bit tricky though, since I didn't finish my schooling.
14:27It was too sick.
14:28When do classes kick off?
14:30I'm not sure, but I'm meant to be meeting with admissions this week
14:34just to see what my options are.
14:36But it can wait.
14:37Trust me, Felicity would want you to get on with your life.
14:40She'd be like a bull at a gate if she was in your position.
14:45So, good news.
14:46I've organised to have a little bit more time off.
14:49Which means?
14:50It means we can hang out a little bit more.
14:52What, isn't Michelle heading home in the morning?
14:55What do you want to do, Michelle?
14:58I can stay a few more nights.
15:00Okay, great, great.
15:01I might go and have a shower after that drive.
15:03And then after that, do you want to have some lunch?
15:04Yeah.
15:05Great.
15:10A few more nights can't hurt.
15:14I should have stopped asking Justin for help.
15:17And why didn't you?
15:20Selfishness.
15:22Things falling apart with my husband.
15:25But it was just an arrangement for me to drive.
15:28Okay?
15:29Like I explained.
15:30Well, I noticed that the cast isn't on, so why were you two together?
15:33She only just got that cast cut off.
15:35This was literally the last time I had to help her.
15:39Did you tell Justin why your marriage is falling apart?
15:43Sorry?
15:44Well, apparently being unfaithful isn't new to you.
15:48What are you talking about?
15:49Your husband has made it very clear how you play things.
15:52Hang on, you spoke with Claudia's husband?
15:53Yes, I did, Justin.
15:55And don't try and deny it, because he told me everything.
15:57Wow.
15:58Wow, okay, this is all making sense now.
16:01Eric does this when he's feeling insecure.
16:05What do you mean?
16:06Let me guess.
16:07He talked about knowing the signs.
16:09It takes two to tango.
16:12That's exactly what he said.
16:15I'm not excusing my own actions,
16:17but the fact he's never trusted me is part of how we ended up here.
16:25Leah, I've never cheated on my husband.
16:28And I know I've misstepped here.
16:32But Justin never has.
16:36Your husband loves you.
16:45Look, I am...
16:48I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused you both.
16:52Well, thanks for clearing that up.
16:57You'll be all right?
16:59Yeah.
17:15I got that wrong.
17:17I'm so sorry.
17:21Can we just forget the last 24 hours?
17:27When I woke up this morning,
17:29all I could think about is how lonely my life would be without you.
17:34You really met up with her husband?
17:37I'm not proud of it, but yeah.
17:39I'll go and unpack.
17:50I could get some dinner at Salt.
17:52Again?
17:53Yeah, well, I'm biased, but I think the food's great.
17:57Gash, I was thinking I might stay at a motel tonight.
18:02Okay.
18:03Gash, I was thinking I might stay at a motel tonight.
18:08Okay.
18:09Why's that?
18:10Oh, you know, it was a long trip back,
18:12and I could do this on my own time.
18:15Because of what happened that night?
18:17Look, I promise I'll keep you safe.
18:19You don't have anything to worry about.
18:20I know.
18:23Hello.
18:24You ready to go?
18:25Yeah.
18:27Hi, Ma.
18:28I'm giving Michelle a lift to the motel.
18:30It's all sorted?
18:31Uh-huh.
18:32Okay.
18:33This is starting to sound a bit like goodbye.
18:35Is this goodbye?
18:36It's okay.
18:37I just want to know.
18:38No, not at all.
18:39Not at all.
18:40I'll call you later.
18:41Chat about dinner plans.
19:03♪ I'm looking down
19:09♪ An empty eye
19:11Okay, well, everything's put away.
19:13I'll just grab the other bag from Alice later.
19:17What do you want to do tonight?
19:20Maybe we can open up that bottle of champagne
19:22that we were supposed to have at dinner.
19:26Hey, come on.
19:27You're being quiet.
19:29You know what?
19:30I can't do this.
19:31I can't.
19:33I'm still trying to get my head around it.
19:35You actually believe Claudia's husband?
19:38There wasn't any question.
19:39You were convinced that I was cheating.
19:41You were out all night without even a phone call.
19:43What was I supposed to think?
19:45Uh, that maybe I'd been in an accident
19:47or, you know, I was dead in a ditch somewhere.
19:49You'd rather I thought you were dead.
19:50It's better than being unfaithful.
19:59♪
20:14Before you ask, Michelle is fine.
20:16She's checked into the motel.
20:18That's not why I'm here.
20:19Okay.
20:20Why'd you have to get involved?
20:22By driving her to the motel.
20:24No, by convincing her that she has to leave in the first place.
20:27You really are blind, Cash.
20:29You have no idea the pressure you're putting on her.
20:32What the hell are you talking about?
20:33You need to read the room and back off.
20:35How about you mind your own business?
20:37I didn't invite you into this.
20:39Cash, look at what you're doing here.
20:41It's not healthy.
20:42What's not healthy is you interfering with my life.
20:46Let go.
20:54Dr Cameron speaking.
20:56Right.
20:57Thank you for letting me know.
20:58That was a hospital.
20:59I have been suspended.
21:00That guy reported you, then?
21:02Yeah.
21:03He did.
21:04I know how much you care about your patients, Brenda.
21:06Then why are you doing this?
21:07There were things that should have been done that weren't being done.
21:10How close was I to going down the drain?
21:12Honestly, it's a miracle that you're sitting in front of me, Alf.
21:14I knew it got a bit dodgy there for a while,
21:16but I didn't think it was anyone's fault.
21:18But it was.
21:19You nearly died.
