Transcript
00:00Don't let my past mess up what we have.
00:10It's more than a river past.
00:11Boys are the reason I'm still here.
00:13You have no idea what you're getting yourself into right now.
00:15And you clearly don't have any proof that he's been involved in anything except a few
00:18misdemeanors.
00:19I need the files to prove they're dangerous, including the Franklin murder case.
00:22Uh, why?
00:23Because you said he was investigating Riverboy activity.
00:25Yeah, I did say that, but you don't want to get involved with Rory Templeton.
00:28Do you think he's got anything to do with this murder?
00:30He's their leader, so yeah, I'd say he's in it up to his eyeballs.
00:43I'm just worried that you're blaming yourself for what Bronte did.
00:46I didn't protect the people I care about from her scam.
00:50Please don't ask me to feel good about that.
00:52I called the Coastal News and they're interested in talking to us about what happened with
00:57Bronte.
00:58Why would we?
00:59To get the message out there about scammers and hopefully stop it happening to anyone
01:03else.
01:04You're free to talk to the journo yourself, Leah, but you'll be doing it on your own.
01:27You're in my way.
01:53No, you're in my way.
01:57Move it.
01:59You gonna make me?
02:01What's this really about?
02:04Well, you've been watching us.
02:06Now we're watching you.
02:07Yeah, does that bother you?
02:08Have you got something to hide?
02:14You're very funny.
02:18You good?
02:19Yeah.
02:27You good?
02:39I could do this all day.
02:41Yeah?
02:42Well, I'm not going anywhere.
02:44Why don't you stick around?
02:46Every time we hang out, I come to you.
02:49When are you coming to Mangrove River?
02:52Is that an invitation?
02:53Sure is.
02:54You game?
02:56Yes.
02:58I want to know what all the fuss is about.
03:00And meet your friends.
03:02The boys are going to love you.
03:04Nice to see you two enjoying yourselves.
03:06This is a public beach.
03:08No one's forcing you to watch, John.
03:10Don't you live across the street from Felicity?
03:12Yeah, it's a neighbourhood watch.
03:14My gift to the community, and proud of it.
03:16In the meantime, you two should get a room.
03:25Can we at least talk about it?
03:27I'm sure the customers would love that.
03:29Well, Irene, it's important.
03:31Yes, so you keep saying, can you give it a rest?
03:34Well, we really thought that you'd be all for it, right?
03:37Yes, yes, we did think that.
03:39But if Irene doesn't feel comfortable doing the interview,
03:41then she doesn't have to do it.
03:43Finally, someone talking sense.
03:45Of course, you can change your mind,
03:47but can I at least get a reason why?
03:49I don't have to explain myself to anyone, dear.
03:51Irene, I'm just trying to help you.
03:52No, I understand.
03:54How about we get out there and we do some work?
03:56There's people waiting to be served.
03:58There's tables waiting to be cleaned.
04:00Oh, for sake.
04:04Was I out of line?
04:06No, that is completely about something else.
04:08Sorry.
04:10Don't take it to heart.
04:12I really thought that this was going to help her.
04:14I know.
04:16What are we going to do now?
04:18Is it too late to cancel?
04:20No.
04:31You're not allowed back there.
04:33Come on, out.
04:35Says who?
04:37Neighbourhood watch?
04:39Says me, surf club manager,
04:41and I will have the coppers here in a heartbeat.
04:43Oh, relax, John.
04:45It's Rory's new board.
04:47Molly told him to pick it up.
04:50I'll be back.
04:52Mate, what's happening?
04:54You sure you want to get involved with this character?
04:56Why?
04:58Are you jealous?
05:00You do realise what that tattoo stands for, don't you?
05:02Yes.
05:04Thanks to my overprotective brother,
05:06I know all about the Riverboys.
05:08Then you should listen to your overprotective brother.
05:10Oh, please.
05:12You know what the real problem is?
05:14You actually think you can dictate my love life.
05:20Where is he now?
05:22Inside the cop shop.
05:24Probably changing his dax.
05:26I reckon he got the message.
05:28You did good.
05:30Go back to the house. I'll meet you there.
05:32Come on. I'll waste an opportunity.
05:34Everyone's here. Might as well have a little bit of fun.
05:36Felicity's coming back with me, OK?
05:38So stand down.
05:40You're the boss.
05:50Oh, yeah.
05:58Looks like the fun's over.
06:00Clearly been given the signal to step down.
06:03I think they've made their point.
06:08Whoever Dingo was on the phone to was calling the shots,
06:11and what do you know, Laurie's not here.
06:13Yeah, that's not a surprise.
06:15This is what happens, Cash,
06:17when you push back on the Riverboys.
06:19Warning?
06:21You gonna drop the surveillance?
06:23No.
06:25Neither did Franklin, and look what happened to him.
06:27I'm under their skin now.
06:29I'm on the right track.
06:31Talk about playing with fire.
06:33Her brother's a cop.
06:35You'd think she'd have more sense.
06:37It is none of your business, John.
06:39No, he was in my surf club acting like he owned the joint.
06:41Maybe they're just friends.
06:43Do good friends just go canoodling on the beach in the morning?
06:46I've seen him coming out of her place for days,
06:47morning and night.
06:49John, you just happened to notice that, did you?
06:52I'm very observant.
06:54That's what most nosy people are.
06:56No, this is not good for the club.
06:58Wait till Alf gets wind of this.
07:00Not all Riverboys are bad.
07:02What about lovely Dean?
07:04What about you stomp your gas bag and then you start working?
07:06Sorry?
07:08What's got up her nose?
07:10There's a reporter from the Coastal News coming to talk about her.
07:12Which is why I was trying to prepare.
07:14You and Irene gonna talk to Coastal News?
07:15Irene is doing no such thing.
07:18You could ask me.
07:20No one is asking you, John.
07:22And if one more person mentions this flippin' interview, I swear...
07:26Yeah, but Bucky, just say it.
07:28Don't even try it.
07:31You need her to become it.
07:37Hey, boys!
07:39Banner's gonna be a dad!
07:45Banner's gonna be a dad!
08:16Oh, shit.
08:38This is crazy.
08:39How are you?
08:43Welcome to Mangrove River.
08:45Thank you.
08:47This looks like fun!
08:49Make yourself at home.
08:51Hey.
08:52Banner.
08:53Nice to meet you.
08:54Yeah, you too.
08:55Get in there.
08:56Thanks.
08:58How are you?
09:00What's your name?
09:01Harry.
09:02Harry, what do you do?
09:10I'm a fixer now like I've always...
09:14If you've come to talk about the interview, I am not interested.
09:18No, I haven't come to change your mind, I promise.
09:20Well, then why are you here?
09:23You're upset. Where else would I be?
09:25Look, at first I thought this interview was a rotten idea, you know,
09:29giving our track record to the Coastal News.
09:31Let me guess. Leah talked you in.
09:33Well, she thinks it could really make a difference,
09:35help other people avoid the same fate.
09:36And wouldn't it help you, too,
09:38to know that something positive could come out of this whole mess?
09:41I'm not interested.
09:43Okay, I won't push.
09:45I just need to know where you're coming from.
09:47What does it matter?
09:49There are other Brontes out there waiting to prey on other innocent people.
09:53Why not speak up?
09:55Because I'm humiliated enough as it is, John,
09:58without having it plastered all over the flippin' front of the paper.
10:03Is that so hard to understand?
10:04I don't understand.
10:13Leah, do you think I should go and check on Irene?
10:16Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone.
10:18No, it's fine.
10:20I was trying to cancel, but the journalist isn't picking up.
10:23Oh, well, she's probably already on her way.
10:25Maybe you could just do it on your own.
10:27You saw what Irene was like.
10:29I think going through with it at all might just upset her even more.
10:32Or it might make her feel better.
10:34Telling her story and helping other people.
10:37Irene can't be the only person who was scammed by Bronte.
10:50So what, you just do this all day?
10:52This, to drink? All day?
10:54Having fun? I'm all for that.
10:56Hating it.
10:58Bro, that was so right.
11:00Mmm.
11:02Everyone's been so friendly.
11:04And they seriously love you.
11:06Told you. We're a family.
11:08You know what? There are a lot of names to remember.
11:10So, I think it's going to take me a few visits.
11:12Oh, well, this is Donny.
11:14Aww. That is so cool.
11:16So how about it? I'm sure he could squeeze you in.
11:19Nah, nah, I think I'm good. Thanks, though.
11:21I'm kind of too soon. On your hands?
11:23Hey, look, I love Tabs, huge fan, but that looks way too painful.
11:25Maybe I should offer you a brother one.
11:27You could do with some more, yeah?
11:29I'd have to win him over.
11:31Go ask him now. He's outside.
11:33Are you serious? You'd believe me here?
11:35Nah, he's practically a regular.
11:37They've been watching the house for days. Sometimes in uniform, sometimes not.
11:40I don't know what he thinks he's going to learn.
11:42Maybe how to have a good time.
11:47Don't mean to intrude.
11:49I thought you could use a drink.
11:51Don't worry, I'm not going to hang around.
11:53I know you want to be on your own.
11:55I'm sorry I flew off the handle at you before.
11:57I just can't seem to put a foot right these days.
12:00Yeah, well, I'm going to tell you something you told me a very long time ago.
12:05This should be good. I'm all ears.
12:08We've talked about this.
12:10I've walked in your shoes, and it was you who encouraged me to face the world again.
12:16You shouldn't feel humiliated for showing compassion to someone.
12:21If anything, it shows what a caring person you are.
12:24It should be celebrated. You should be celebrated.
12:27Oh, you don't know the half of it, my friend.
12:30I think this interview could do a lot of good.
12:33So everyone keeps saying.
12:35I know you.
12:37You thrive on helping people.
12:40It's who you are.
12:42I think you know what the right decision is.
12:48I need to think about it.
12:49I need to think about it.
12:52Can you tell Leah I've gone for a drive? I'll be back in a while.
12:56You want me to come?
12:58No. I need to do this on my own.
13:00Thank you.
13:20What a creepy place.
13:33Hey!
13:35Been a while. We could use this.
13:37No thanks.
13:39Flick, hop in the car. I'm going to drive you home.
13:42No. I'm not going anywhere.
13:44Flick, you being here is a mistake.
13:46Says the guy who's obsessed with the place.
13:47Just get in the car.
13:49Please, Flick. I'm not joking. Just get in the damn car.
13:52Were you arresting me?
13:54Everything alright here?
13:56Suit yourself.
14:47Come on.
14:48Come on.
15:15Bowed on your stake that early, Florence?
15:16Got what I needed.
15:18Every vehicle's make, model and registration.
15:20You know that target on your back?
15:22The more you push, the bigger it gets.
15:24Well, Franklin's body didn't just appear in that dam.
15:26It had to have been dumped.
15:28See if you can place any of these vehicles in the vicinity of the dam
15:30around the same time as Franklin's disappearance, please.
15:32You don't know how things work around here.
15:34There are some lines you just don't cross.
15:36Excuse me?
15:37With respect, you are out of your depth.
15:39With respect, I've given you an order.
15:41No, I know you're worried about Flick, but I think you're making it too personal.
15:43No, this is not about Felicity.
15:44A police officer has been murdered and homicide might not care about that.
15:47I do.
15:49You think I don't?
15:51And stop trying to talk me into dropping the investigation.
15:53I'm trying to stop you getting killed.
15:55Go and run the damn recos.
15:57Yeah, OK.
16:01Thanks for bringing me home.
16:03You don't need to stay if you have to get back.
16:05I'd rather stick around.
16:07That's alright.
16:09I'm fine.
16:11I'm sorry we had to leave.
16:12That whole cash thing.
16:14Kind of killed the vibe?
16:16I love my brother, but sometimes I could throttle him.
16:21I'm sorry for making things difficult with him.
16:23I don't want that.
16:25No, he's always been protective.
16:27It's getting old.
16:29Anything I can do to help?
16:32You're already helping.
16:34Just being here.
16:39You make me happier than I've been in a really long time.
16:42I know.
17:12I loved her.
17:20I think you know what the right decision is.
17:26Yeah.
17:28Irene, it's important.
17:30It might be a way of taking something positive out of this.
17:32Please.
17:39All I needed was a stupid old woman gullible enough to believe me and I found you.
18:02No.
18:07Please.
18:08No.
18:31Are you sure you don't need me to stay until Irene gets back?
18:34No, look, it is pretty quiet. We'll be fine.
18:36I could just give her a call and check in.
18:38John said she just needs to clear her head. She'll be back when she's ready.
18:41Okay.
18:43How do you feel about the interview?
18:45I'm about to find out. The journalist is turning up any minute. Hey.
18:48Sounds like I made it in the nick of time.
18:51Have you changed your mind about the interview?
18:54Doing the interview is the right thing to do and, oh boy, have I got a story to tell.
18:59Maybe I should stay here for some moral support.
19:01Marilyn, we don't pay you overtime to stand around gawking, darling.
19:04Oh, but I don't mind.
19:06On your bike. Come on, we got this.
19:08Okay. Good luck.
19:10Thanks.
19:12Marilyn, do you mind me asking why the sudden change of heart?
19:15Well, it doesn't matter, darling. I'm here now.
19:17So, where's this journo?
19:26Hey, Flick.
19:32What?
19:34What's he doing here?
19:36Why are you at work?
19:38Aren't you meant to be spying on my mates?
19:40Yeah, would you prefer I was at his place?
19:42This has to stop.
19:44We thought we had the place to ourselves.
19:46He needs to leave.
19:48I think that's up to her.
19:50Rory's my guest and he's staying.
19:52Your guest isn't welcome here.
19:54In my own home?
19:56In our home. This is for your own good, Flick.
19:58Are you for real?
19:59I'll go.
20:00No.
20:01It's not worth it.
20:03I'll see you at salt, yeah?
20:09Okay, listen, it is one thing to have Rory in the house.
20:12It is another thing entirely you partying with the Riverboys.
20:15I went there one time.
20:17Yeah, and that's how it starts.
20:19The next thing you know, you're running drugs for him.
20:21Can you hear yourself?
20:23There were no drugs in the house or whatever else you think they're hiding.
20:25Can you for one minute consider the possibility that you might be wrong about Rory?
20:29Is he sitting out the front of that house?
20:31Yeah.
20:33We think they're involved in a murder and we know Rory's their leader.
20:35You think that it's a coincidence that he's just started hooking up with the sister of the new cop on his turf?
20:40That doesn't even make sense and you can't even see it.
20:42I was with Rory before you decided to take the job.
20:45Not everything's about you.
20:59You're making a mistake, Flick.
21:01If my boyfriend can't stay here, neither will I.
21:04Do you think he's using her to get to you?
21:07Yeah, now he's playing games.
21:09I don't like that you're dating him, but I'm willing to put up with it if you stay at the house.
21:14Before you go back to stalking law-abiding locals, we need to set some ground rules.
21:17You're going to stop watching our place.
21:19I don't take orders from you.
21:21Do you want Flick moving in with me?
21:23You like her that much, you'd use her as leverage.
21:25If today's taught us anything, it's I'm going to win.
