Home and Away 8297 8th July 2024
Transcript
00:00It's about Bronte. She is lying to Irene and everyone else so she can take their money.
00:11And that's a crime, right?
00:12Do you have any evidence that you can give me?
00:14No, I don't.
00:15Well, if that changes, come and talk to me.
00:17There are no medical records for Bronte Langford anywhere in the state.
00:20What's obviously a mistake.
00:22Or maybe no records exist because your illness is a scam and you just need to give it up.
00:28Chase, listen. That problem I warned you about, it just got worse.
00:30I have found stuff that proves, basically, that she's a liar.
00:34What you got to say?
00:35I don't know, Hayid. It's impossible to get anyone to listen to me.
00:39Who's your friend?
00:40Chase. Well, they're all about your snooping.
00:42Give it back! I'm not going to be intimidated by either of you.
00:47Help! Help!
00:50What's wrong?
00:51Oh, I just still haven't heard from Dana.
00:53Oh, I have. I just spoke to her.
00:55She called you. Does she even have your number?
00:56No, no. She called Irene's place and I answered.
00:58Where is she?
00:59On a retreat. Some silent meditation place.
01:01I don't know what's going on, but I do know that Dana's not the silent retreat type.
01:04Something doesn't feel right.
01:09Need a hand?
01:10Sure.
01:11Slow day at the shop?
01:13Not exactly.
01:14I just wanted to come say thanks for the other day.
01:17You were right.
01:19So you're working things out with Matt?
01:21Yeah. Well, now that Levi's been discharged from the hospital,
01:24things are finally going back to normal.
01:26Good to hear.
01:28So, coming home?
01:31You know, I'm not really in a hurry to do that.
01:34You sure?
01:35Yeah. It's quiet at the motel and I've got quite a lot going on.
01:39I heard the committee approved your youth programme.
01:41Congrats.
01:41Yeah, thanks.
01:42Still a lot to organise before we start.
01:44Yeah.
01:57How's that all going?
01:59Fine.
02:04So, this Bronte woman is the only one who's been in touch with Dana, right?
02:09As far as I know, yeah.
02:11Well, that's the right start if you need answers.
02:13Yeah, but I'm just not sure that Bronte's going to be able to tell me anything she hasn't already.
02:16Yeah, but it's worth a try.
02:18I mean, it seems to me that she's the only one who knows what's going on.
02:21Good point.
02:23Good point.
02:25Hey.
02:26Hey.
02:27Hi.
02:28Coffee?
02:29I could do with one before work.
02:31No, thanks. I can't.
02:33Thank you.
02:38What was that about?
02:40He's worried that he can't get in touch with Dana.
02:43What else did he say?
02:45Love, we know there's only one spot left in the next trial,
02:48and our 50,000 won't meet your crowdfunding goal.
02:52It's fine.
02:54I know you've both done everything you can.
02:56Hold your horses, girlie. We haven't finished yet.
02:58We've got a plan to help you raise the rest of your funds.
03:03You've both done so much already.
03:05What if we looked at donating this week's profits from the diner?
03:09A bit like salt, only more generous.
03:12Not that it's a competition.
03:15Thank you.
03:17You're both incredible.
03:19Our pleasure, love.
03:21But I have to say no.
03:22I can't spend another week waiting for treatment.
03:26Why not?
03:28I'm out of time.
03:30The trial's about to kick off.
03:32Hey.
03:33Sorry to interrupt.
03:36Can I talk to you for a minute?
03:37Yeah.
03:38We have to head back to work anyway, love, but we're not giving up.
03:42And neither should you.
03:45See you.
03:46See you, doll.
03:50It's nothing.
03:52What do you want to talk about?
03:54I'm just a little bit confused about Dana.
03:58It's still bugging me that you're the only person she's spoken to.
04:02Like I said, I just happened to be here when she called.
04:05Yeah, did she say why she called the landline?
04:07No.
04:09I'm sorry she's doing this to you.
04:11It's not fair.
04:12Did she say what the retreat was called?
04:13No.
04:14No, she didn't say anything.
04:17I'm sure when she's ready, she'll call.
04:19Yeah, I hope so.
04:20Yeah.
04:21I'm a bit tired.
04:22I might lie down.
04:23Of course, yeah.
04:24You rest.
04:35Thanks for giving me your hand.
04:37No worries.
04:38What's that?
04:39I don't know.
04:40Maybe I missed one of the supplies dropping past.
04:43Ah, it's just a guy I once bought.
04:45No biggie.
04:46You got time to take a break?
04:48No.
04:49I should get back to it.
04:51Look, I know how tough a break-up can be in this town.
04:54You can't avoid running into your ex.
04:56Thanks for the reminder.
04:58So it's definitely over then?
05:00Yep.
05:01It's for the best.
05:04I should chase up this board order.
05:08Hey, Rory.
05:10It's Marley.
05:11I got a message saying that you wanted to order a board.
05:19Thank you.
05:20And just so you know, all profits from this week are going to Brotty's crowdfunding page.
05:25Isn't that good?
05:26That's very generous.
05:27But maybe don't go telling Dana that.
05:29Ah, no.
05:30Things between those two have not improved.
05:32Actually, have you seen Dana today?
05:34She hasn't responded to any of my messages.
05:36Oh, she's gone on a retreat?
05:38Really?
05:39She didn't mention that to me.
05:43Oh, you're working?
05:44It's a shame.
05:45I thought we could have had a girls' night.
05:47No, we don't have to do that.
05:49I'm fine.
05:50I didn't say you weren't.
05:52But since you mentioned it, if you need to talk about things, let me know.
05:57No, I'm okay.
05:59It still hurts, but I made the right call.
06:04Well, that didn't work.
06:05I spoke to Brotty like you suggested.
06:07And?
06:08She said the same thing she said before, except I kind of got the feeling like she wanted me gone.
06:12To be honest, I don't reckon I'm getting the full story.
06:14So you reckon she's lying?
06:16I don't know, but something doesn't add up.
06:18Well, mate, all you can do is keep digging.
06:23Where on earth is Dana?
06:25Her patrol started an hour ago.
06:27But she didn't call you.
06:28I've been calling her all morning.
06:29No answer.
06:30So where is she?
06:31Apparently she's up the coast on some silent retreat.
06:33Dana? Silent?
06:34Exactly.
06:35No one can get on to her to find out what's going on.
06:37The only person she's spoken to is Brotty.
06:39Well, that doesn't sound right.
06:40She's the last person she's spoken to.
06:42I know.
06:43None of this makes any sense.
06:44She would have told me or Harper if she was going anywhere.
06:45Yeah, well, I spoke to her yesterday and she was so upset about the whole Brotty business,
06:49she broke down in tears.
06:50So there's no way she'd go from that to confiding in me.
06:53What the hell is going on?
06:54Where is she?
06:56Help!
06:57Please help me!
07:04Please help me!
07:07Help!
07:08Please someone help me!
07:09Help me!
07:11Please someone help!
07:14Help!
07:20Help!
07:34Hey.
07:35What are you doing now?
07:36Grab a coffee?
07:38I might just head home once I'm done here, but thanks anyways.
07:41G'day boys.
07:42Hey Al.
07:44So, how's the year's programme coming along?
07:47Must be starting soon, eh?
07:48Yeah, it's Mo.
07:49Well, I'm glad it's all coming together.
07:53It's a good thing he's doing, eh?
07:55Yeah, for sure.
08:01He's a bit quiet, isn't he?
08:02Yeah, he's still getting his head around things ending with Rose.
08:33Help!
08:35Help me!
08:37Help, I'm trapped!
08:38Help me!
08:42Help, I'm locked in here!
08:43Help me, please!
08:48Help!
08:56Are you done?
08:57I'm not going to be done until you're done.
09:00Are you done?
09:01I'm not going to be done until you let me out!
09:14I'm surprised you had any voice left after that performance.
09:18Here.
09:20How do I know that that's not poisoned?
09:25It's not poisoned, is it?
09:29What is it that you want from me?
09:31I just need you to keep your big mouth shut
09:33and stay out of the picture until we get our money.
09:36No, you mean Irene's money.
09:38You mean Leah's money.
09:39You mean everyone else's.
09:40You wouldn't just mind your own business, could you?
09:42The same way you couldn't not rip off kind, vulnerable people.
09:45Seriously, just shut up!
09:50Better.
09:53Now, all you have to do is just stay here until we're done.
09:57We're done.
09:58And then what?
10:00I don't know.
10:01What does that mean?
10:02Never done this before.
10:04What does that mean?
10:05What does that mean?
10:07Don't leave me here!
10:14Wow.
10:15Do you really think we could raise that much in a week?
10:18We could try.
10:20Well, go on.
10:21You know I'll do anything I can to get her to that clinical trial.
10:25Yes!
10:27Good news?
10:28I can't thank you enough.
10:29You are a literal lifesaver.
10:31I'm guessing the money came through.
10:33It means I can go.
10:35There's nothing stopping me.
10:36I'm going to book my flights to Canada right now.
10:38But don't you need to pay the clinic in full before you go?
10:40I mean, they say that's their policy, but I've got most of the money now.
10:43Yeah, but love, you're still short.
10:45Yeah, look, it's not quite where the target needs to be,
10:48but if I just show up and I throw myself on the mercy of the clinic,
10:52they might let me in.
10:53Yeah, but what if they don't?
10:55I may not have another chance.
10:56I have to take it.
10:58If you're going to do that, why won't you just give yourself another week to pay?
11:02Look, this is how much money we can raise.
11:04That pretty much meets your target.
11:06Surely that's going to go in your favour.
11:08Wow, I didn't realise it would be so much.
11:11Every little bit helps, eh?
11:12So?
11:13What do you say?
11:16I mean, it would guarantee me a spot.
11:23Okay, yes.
11:24I guess I can wait another week.
11:30Hey, you got an order for me?
11:33Huh, stick it on the tab.
11:35Hey, have you heard any more from Dana?
11:37No, she's still missing.
11:40Hey, what exactly did she say to you?
11:42That she had proof that Bronte's alive.
11:44Oh, did she?
11:45Well, apparently it could get someone into trouble, so she wouldn't say.
11:49Who?
11:50I don't know.
11:51I just thought it was the jealousy thing coming up again.
11:53I should have asked more questions.
11:54No, it doesn't matter now.
11:56Just need to find her.
11:58Hey, guys.
11:59Sorry for eavesdropping, but isn't Dana on a retreat?
12:02Well, that's what Bronte says, but something's not adding up.
12:04Yeah, we've got no idea where Dana is.
12:07Look, I'm the one that Dana was worried about getting into trouble.
12:10She asked me to look into Bronte's medical records at the hospital.
12:14And?
12:15There are none.
12:16At least none at Northern Districts or anywhere else in the state.
12:20What are you saying?
12:21Dana's right.
12:22Bronte's lying about being sick.
12:24I'm saying that that's the information Dana had.
12:27I warned her to tread carefully with this.
12:29Yeah, but Dana's not one to tread carefully about anything.
12:34What if she's confronted Bronte?
12:36I hear what you're saying.
12:37But what makes you think Bronte is connected to Dana going missing?
12:40Because she lied about everything else.
12:42There are no medical records for Bronte Langford anywhere in the state.
12:46You can verify this.
12:48Yes, I can.
12:49We're talking fraud and deception here.
12:51These are some serious accusations.
12:53Too right they are.
12:54Irene's remortgaged her house and she's taken all of Leah's things.
12:57Can we stop talking about the money?
12:58Dana is missing.
12:59We don't know that for sure.
13:00No, no, she hasn't turned up for patrol.
13:02That's really unlike her.
13:03Exactly, and I don't buy this whole silent retreat she's supposed to be on.
13:05Everyone calm down, one at a time.
13:08Who told you about this retreat thing?
13:10Bronte.
13:11She was the last person that saw Dana.
13:12Tell me that's not suspicious.
13:14Even if Bronte is lying about being sick,
13:16it doesn't mean she's responsible for Dana's disappearance.
13:18Rose, if she is capable of deceiving and lying and stealing everyone's money,
13:22what else is she capable of?
13:34Thanks, Al.
13:35You have just donated to Bronte's cause.
13:39Sorry?
13:40All of this week's profits are going to Bronte's crowdfunding campaign.
13:44Truth.
13:45She's certainly making a quit out of the bae's generosity.
13:48Well, she's come to the right place then, hasn't she?
13:50The poor girl has no one.
13:51It's the least that we can do.
13:54Irene, have you really thought this thing through?
13:58What do you mean?
13:59Well, it's no small thing she's asking.
14:01Look, she hasn't asked for anything.
14:03We decided to do it.
14:06Man, that's very generous of you.
14:08Maybe too generous.
14:11Alf, what are you getting at?
14:12Alf, what are you getting at?
14:13Well, I just want to make sure you're not being taken for a ride.
14:16That's all.
14:17Sounds like you've been talking to Dana.
14:23Look, I know Dana is a handful, but it's one more week.
14:27No, this isn't about greed, Chase.
14:29It's an opportunity.
14:30I'm not going to walk away from another huge chunk of cash.
14:35Someone's here at the gate.
14:43Hi.
14:44Bronte Langford?
14:45Yeah.
14:46Hi, I'm Senior Constable Delaney, and this is Constable Hendricks.
14:50Do you mind if we come in for a chat?
14:52Yeah, of course. Come in.
14:56What's this about?
14:57Your housemate, Dana Matheson.
14:59No, really? What has she done?
15:01Nothing, actually. We're just trying to find out where she is.
15:05When was the last time you saw Dana?
15:07Two days ago.
15:08You've spoken to her since then? On the phone?
15:10Yeah, yeah.
15:11She called here and said she was up the coast at a retreat or something.
15:15We'll be able to verify those phone records then.
15:17Yeah, definitely.
15:20Is that all?
15:21I just need to take some medication. The timing is kind of important.
15:24We're happy to wait.
15:26A few minutes can't hurt.
15:28Thanks.
15:30So, what hospital are you getting treated at?
15:32Oh, it's one in the city.
15:34Can you be more specific?
15:37You've forgotten?
15:38No, it's Greenwood East.
15:40Their immunology department is one of the best in the country.
15:43There's no record of you having any medical history anywhere in the state.
15:46Do you have any idea where that is?
15:48Strange.
15:50I can't be held responsible for mistakes in the hospital system.
15:55How about I grab all of my records and I bring them down to the station for you?
15:59Would that help?
16:00We're happy to wait.
16:01Yeah? Okay. I'll just take my medication then.
16:06You alright?
16:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dizzy spell. It happens.
16:10Why don't I call Irene?
16:11Oh, no, no. It's not necessary. I just...
16:14I need to rest.
16:17And then I'll get those documents to you.
16:24Call when you're on your way.
16:26I'll be waiting.
16:38Okay, so when do you think we'll be able to meet on that?
16:43Cool. I'll be there.
16:46Hey.
16:48What's that about?
16:50Harper's put in together a list of participants for the youth program.
16:53And don't worry, we'll make sure to keep everything away from your surf lessons.
16:57Yeah, I have to raise Shaw Kirby. Not me.
16:59I won't be here.
17:01Where will you be?
17:02I've decided to head home for a bit.
17:04I've decided to head home for a bit.
17:07You know, get my feet back on country.
17:10Sounds good.
17:12Plus, I won't be running into Rose.
17:18I'm sure your family would love to see you.
17:21Yeah. It'll be good to see Mum and Elandra.
17:24And my little cub.
17:26I just need to get some things sorted for Kirby.
17:29And I'm out of here.
17:31Good luck.
17:32Oh. You too.
17:35And hey.
17:38You're going to smash this program.
17:46Right. Let me know what you find out.
17:49Bye.
17:50Still no word from Dana?
17:51No.
17:53What is it?
17:55Rose spoke to Bronte.
17:57Apparently she gave the name of the hospital she'd been treated at.
17:59Rose is heading to the station now to check it out.
18:04Do you think we're wrong about Bronte?
18:06Do you think she's really sick?
18:08I've got no idea.
18:14Isn't that Bronte driving Irene's car?
18:17That's weird.
18:22I'll drive.
18:30Come on.
18:42Come on. Can you step it up a gear? We're going to lose her.
18:44If we tailgate her, she's going to know we're following her.
18:48I swear, if something's happening to Dana...
18:50Yeah. Well, hang on, mate. We don't know anything for sure yet.
18:52What? Then where the hell is she taking us?
18:59I don't know.
19:22Where did she go?
19:25I don't know.
19:30I don't know.
19:43You think she went in there?
19:45She must have.
19:48Well, let's check it out.
19:53This makes no sense.
19:55Where is she going?
20:00I don't know.
20:14Wakey, wakey.
20:29Dana?
20:33Dana?
20:43Dana!
20:50Dana!
20:54Dana!
21:00Where is she?
21:01You've got one job. One job.
21:03Dana!
21:05Dana! You get out of here now!
21:07Nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide.
21:10Wait, wait. We don't know what these people are capable of.
21:12I need to find Dana.
