00:00You're a pretty fast runner for someone who's dying.
00:16You are a disgrace.
00:17You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:19You want someone to blame?
00:20Blame yourself.
00:21All I needed was a stupid old woman, colourful enough to believe me, and I found you.
00:25I brought her here, put you and everyone else at risk.
00:29And you fooled everyone.
00:30Not you.
00:31Love, I know I've got no right to ask for your forgiveness.
00:33Well, it's too bad, because you haven't.
00:35So how's it coming along?
00:37I just need to know what design you want.
00:39I want it to say blood and sand.
00:40So what brings you around here then?
00:42Work?
00:43Something like that.
00:44Your interrogation skills are very rusty.
00:47Call HQ and take the job before they change their mind.
00:50Cash has a new job.
00:51Hey, congrats.
00:52Sorry about all the questions before.
00:54All I really need to know is that you're treating her right.
00:56All good?
00:57All good.
00:58Come on.
00:59Let's go.
01:25This is a nice surprise.
01:27Oh, you're busy helping out your mates today.
01:29You can wait. It's their fault I had to rush off last night.
01:32True. And trust me, it really did you a disservice.
01:36Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm.
01:38I'm glad you called.
01:40I was worried Cash's little interrogation had scared you off.
01:44You heard the man.
01:45Just wanted to make sure you were treating me right.
01:47Oh! Is that what he said?
01:50No, but seriously, it's cool.
01:52I've met way bigger and scarier brothers than yours.
01:54Yeah, I bet you have.
01:56Actually, wait, how many are we talking?
01:58Hang on. One of my knucklehead mates is here.
02:01Oh, yeah? Convenient timing.
02:03Sorry, I've got to go. I'll call you later.
02:05Well, you better.
02:07I saw the new cop.
02:08When?
02:09Just now. He drove past. Had the clown outfit on him all.
02:11Already?
02:12Barely rides with this one.
02:14All right, get in.
02:26All right.
02:57Newman!
02:58Devlin! It's good to see you.
02:59Yeah, you too.
03:00What happened to the rooch?
03:01Oh, it got firebombed a few months back.
03:03Are they going to fix it?
03:04Probably not.
03:05Right.
03:06So, what did you do to get stuck here with us, then?
03:08It's a long story.
03:09Don't want to share?
03:11Okay. This way, then.
03:20I think we dismissed them.
03:22Didn't waste much time replacing old Franco, did they?
03:25It was always going to happen.
03:28So, what do we do now?
03:32We welcome him to town.
03:35Morning.
03:36Morning. How are you feeling?
03:38Better.
03:39Thanks.
03:41Mind you, I think it'll be a while before the sting really goes.
03:45We all fell for Bronte's act.
03:47Your sister didn't.
03:49Yeah, and normally she'd be parading it around in front of our faces, but not so much this time.
03:54I saw her bedroom door was open.
03:56Has she taken off for the day already?
03:58No, she had a bad night, so she snuck into my bed earlier this morning.
04:02She hasn't done that since we were kids.
04:04Thank goodness for big sisters, eh?
04:07Love, I have to head to work.
04:09But if she needs anything, give us a bell.
04:11Yeah, will do.
04:21Great. You're up.
04:24I wouldn't describe this as up.
04:27Did I hear Irene?
04:29Yeah, she just left for work.
04:33Probably a good sign.
04:35Yeah, it is.
04:38I made toast.
04:39Yeah, I can see that.
04:41I'm hungry.
04:43You need your energy to, you know, leave the house.
04:47Last time I left the house I got locked in a container.
04:51I know I've already said this, but I am really sorry.
04:55I'm not mad at you.
04:57I'm not mad at Irene either.
04:59Okay?
05:04Xander?
05:05Yeah?
05:08Seems like you're still mad at him.
05:09Yep.
05:11How long are you going to stonewall him for?
05:13I'm going to stonewall him until I can trust him again.
05:18I don't see that happening anytime soon.
05:21Hey, you're back.
05:23How was your trip?
05:24Good. Justin sends his love.
05:28I guess he had a few questions.
05:30Some.
05:31But he understood. We both agreed to play Bronte.
05:34So he wasn't mad?
05:36No, you know what he did when he first saw me? He gave me a hug.
05:39Of course he did.
05:41And how are you?
05:43Yeah, I love him.
05:44I'm getting there. More worried about everyone else, to be honest.
05:49Hey, Ro.
05:50Hey.
05:51Usual doll?
05:52Yep, usual. Thank you.
05:53Any news on Bronte?
05:55So, that's actually why I'm here.
05:56Bronte and her off-sider have been refused bail and are awaiting a court date.
05:59Good.
06:00And thanks to Irene, everyone affected by the pair is being reimbursed as we speak.
06:04Oh, that's great news, isn't it?
06:06Yeah, well, thanks to Dana.
06:08If it were up to me, I'd have lost all my savings and half of yours.
06:12And you wouldn't have been the first.
06:14You know, the other two victims didn't even realise they'd been scammed.
06:16That's terrible.
06:18They assumed Bronte was still in Canada doing the clinical trial.
06:21She'd even sent them letters saying things were going well.
06:23Oh, poor things.
06:25Yeah. Like I said, they didn't know they'd been scammed.
06:28Must have been a real shock.
06:29Yeah, well, not an easy thing to find out.
06:32Irene, would you mind coming down to the station?
06:34I'd like to go over your statement again. There's a few things I need to clarify.
06:38Yeah, love. Of course I will.
06:42See? Fresh air is good.
06:45You want to grab a coffee?
06:47I'm not going anywhere near salt.
06:49I've been meaning to ask, where are the I told you-sos?
06:52You were proven right about Bronte. That's usually your favourite thing.
06:55Why are you saying that like it's a rare occurrence?
06:58I am really proud of you, though.
07:00You stuck to your guns, despite everything.
07:02Yeah, and everyone.
07:03Well, you never doubted yourself. That's pretty amazing.
07:06Are you going to remember this next time we have an argument?
07:08Not a chance.
07:09Well, it's OK. I'm going to remind you.
07:11Hey! If you're looking for Xander, he doesn't start work until later.
07:15You know, can everyone actually just shut up about Xander?
07:18I am angry with him and I actually told you that I didn't want to see him.
07:21Dana!
07:24Is she OK?
07:25Not by a long shot.
07:29It's simple. We don't have the resources and the Riverboys know it.
07:32Pretty shameless about it, too.
07:34When was the last time you took down one of their operations?
07:36A while.
07:37I mean, picked them up for little things here and there, but that's about it.
07:41You don't understand. They're everywhere.
07:43We can't make a move without them knowing.
07:45Sounds like you're letting them walk all over you.
07:47Does it?
07:51Like I said, shameless.
08:08MUSIC PLAYS
08:15Thank you for going through all that again.
08:18You're going to be OK.
08:20Honestly, love, I feel like an idiot.
08:23Irene, don't call yourself that.
08:25Love, that's exactly what I am and Bronte saw it.
08:29She turned on the waterworks and I came running.
08:31You were being kind. And generous.
08:33That's all the most people ever are.
08:35Most people would see that as gullible.
08:38Irene, I convinced people to help her.
08:41Hell's bells, I talked her into suing the flippin' diner.
08:45And now you've given me enough information to make sure Bronte never does that to anyone ever again.
08:49Thanks, love. It's kind of you to say so.
08:54I'm going to let Felicity know that Salt's going to be reimbursed.
08:57I'm sure she'll be happy to hear it.
08:59See ya.
09:00Bye.
09:01Bye.
09:05You did well.
09:06And now everyone's going to get their money back.
09:09A lot of people are hurting, Leah.
09:12I brought that girl into everyone's lives.
09:15This is on me.
09:18Bronte, we're home again.
09:20Happy?
09:21Yeah, I'm ecstatic.
09:23I'm sure Xander will never think to look for you here.
09:26After what he did, I am allowed to not want to see him.
09:29OK?
09:31So do you think it's fair that everyone else gets a free pass but him?
09:34I don't care if it's fair or not. He didn't have my back.
09:37I know you've got trust issues.
09:39I mean, who wouldn't with what you've been through?
09:42But Xander isn't Ollie. It's a completely different situation.
09:45No, you're right. I have been betrayed in two completely different ways.
09:48Thank you. Lucky me, right?
09:49I understand that you're hurting.
09:51No, you don't. You absolutely don't.
09:53You have no idea what I'm going through.
09:55I finally thought I had something good in my life.
09:58OK, you have to stop with the pity party.
10:00I'm sorry, pity party?
10:01What happened to you sucked, and I'm sorry,
10:03but you're acting like you're the only person that's ever been let down.
10:06And going on about it is not going to fix anything.
10:15This is a bad idea.
10:16You think questioning them about a crime is a bad idea?
10:19Pick your battles, is all I'm saying.
10:21You don't know these guys like I do.
10:23Yeah, I'm getting that.
10:25Why are we here?
10:27I thought you'd tell the new guy to get stuffed.
10:29I'll fill you in later.
10:34OK, gentlemen.
10:37Who vandalised my car?
10:39Oh, you came to the right guys.
10:41We saw the whole thing.
10:42Really?
10:43I just wish we knew it was yours.
10:45It would have stopped the bloke.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Can you identify this bloke?
10:49Oh, he was about my height.
10:51Hair about this long.
10:53Handsomish.
10:54I reckon you would have liked him.
10:55Right, Rory?
10:57You guys know I'm just going to pull the CCTV footage from the car park.
11:00About that.
11:01We don't have any.
11:03Cameras go up.
11:05They disappear.
11:07Every time.
11:09We just stopped installing them.
11:12Unlucky big boy.
11:18Do you have something you'd like to add, Rory?
11:20Are we done here?
11:22We're done for now.
11:27If you need anything else, just let me know.
11:31You can get my number, right?
11:36How do you know Rory Templeton?
11:40He's dating my sister.
11:44My condolences.
11:48That's great, but I feel awful.
11:50We told our customers we'd be donating to a good cause.
11:53And Auntie turned us into liars too.
11:57You know how to pick her.
11:58A cop's sister.
11:59Good one.
12:00Shut up.
12:01Great.
12:02I guess this one's a cousin.
12:07Friends of Marley Hudson, right?
12:09I've heard of him.
12:10He makes surfboards, right?
12:12Oh, got a mean left hook too?
12:14Just stay out of trouble.
12:16You too, Chief.
12:21Hey.
12:22You finished with your friends already?
12:23Not quite.
12:24One of them tagged along for the ride.
12:27Hey, I'm Felicity.
12:28I think I saw you on the beach the other day.
12:30I could've done.
12:31Dingo.
12:33Dingo?
12:34Because I'm extremely loyal.
12:36And because he howls whenever things don't go his way.
12:41Take a break.
12:42Hang out with us.
12:43Yeah, give me one sec.
12:44And I will be right with you.
12:47Too easy.
12:50What are we doing here?
12:52Couldn't you have dropped her over the phone?
12:54You said anything about dropping her.
12:56We have a unique opportunity to get some dirt on the new cop.
13:00Come on.
13:01I'm going to take you for a drive around town.
13:02Show you where the least terrible coffee is.
13:05Rory Templeton.
13:06Misdemeanors.
13:07Possession of an unlicensed firearm.
13:10How has this guy avoided time?
13:12Your sister has an interesting type.
13:14She doesn't know who he really is.
13:15Then I suggest you tell her.
13:17But what I wouldn't do is dig too deep on the river boys.
13:20Okay, why is that?
13:21Because it's day one and it's already personal for you.
13:23It's not a great start.
13:24Are you telling me that they're not persons of interest in other cases?
13:27Do I need to remind you why you're here?
13:29Who you're replacing?
13:30Franklin McGrath.
13:31What's he got to do with this?
13:34Do you think the river boys have something to do with his death?
13:39Hey, tell me about the last case he was working on.
13:42Maybe I can help.
13:43Franklin was running surveillance on one of the river boys' hangouts.
13:47He was convinced it was being used to move product.
13:49Was it?
13:50Who knows?
13:52But Franklin wouldn't let it go.
13:55Even on his nights off he was always out there watching.
13:58On his own?
13:59Most of us don't want to be here even when we're paid to be.
14:03What's your theory?
14:04I don't have one.
14:06One night he just went missing.
14:08A few days later we found him.
14:10One night he just went missing.
14:12A few days later we found his body washed up in the dam.
14:14And the investigation found nothing?
14:16You think people around here are going to talk?
14:18Look at us. We're spread thin.
14:19A cop died. You should have access to all the resources you need.
14:23You'd think so, wouldn't you?
14:28Welcome to Mangrove River.
14:30Stick your neck out here, it's going to be the last thing you ever do.
14:41You can't hang out for long, but I'm free later.
14:44Sounds good.
14:46So, what was the big emergency that you needed Rory back for?
14:53Ah, yeah, well...
14:54I have a bone to pick with you first.
14:56Yeah? What's that?
14:58Your brother drove past us today, in uniform.
15:03You never told me he was a cop.
15:04Oh. Well, he was unemployed until yesterday.
15:07Oh. Well, he was unemployed until yesterday.
15:10Pretty sure you don't get a badge overnight.
15:13He was sort of suspended.
15:15What for?
15:16Got his hand caught in the cookie jar, did he?
15:19Actually, he took down a corrupt detective.
15:22And they fired him for it?
15:23Well, suspended.
15:24Yeah, that sounds more like the cop side of it.
15:27What's that supposed to mean?
15:29Hey, grab us a drink, would ya?
15:31What?
15:36So your brother went back to work for them, even after they stabbed him in the back?
15:41Yeah, Cash is a... he's a good guy. He cares about people.
15:45Why... why all the questions?
15:48I'm just trying to get to know ya.
15:50Figure out what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into.
15:53Oh, you have no idea.
16:00Hello?
16:05I'm sorry.
16:08I was not implying that I'm the only one that's ever been let down.
16:13I've let you down plenty of times.
16:16Tell me about it.
16:18I'm sorry too.
16:20You've been through a lot.
16:21You're allowed to have a pity party.
16:23Just a small, tiny pity party.
16:31Hey.
16:32Hey.
16:33Come in.
16:35Hey.
16:36What's wrong?
16:37No, nothing. I just wanted to check on you.
16:39Yeah, I'm okay.
16:40Good.
16:41Also, Xander wanted me to tell you he's worried about you.
16:44Well, he's worried about me now, is he?
16:47Maybe you should reply to one text?
16:50Why would I do that? I'm angry at him.
16:52I have every right to be. He didn't trust me.
16:55No matter what, no one blames you for what happened.
16:58No, no, they don't, Leah.
17:01They pity me.
17:02That's not true.
17:03Yes, it is.
17:04I was such an easy target.
17:07No.
17:08Brontë.
17:09Brontë.
17:10Brontë.
17:11Brontë.
17:12Brontë.
17:13Brontë.
17:14Brontë.
17:15Brontë.
17:16Brontë.
17:17Brontë.
17:18Brontë.
17:19Brontë.
17:20Brontë.
17:21Brontë.
17:22No.
17:23Brontë is a scammer.
17:25A really good one.
17:26Is that all I am now?
17:28Some vulnerable old lady that can't be trusted with her own bank account?
17:32Irene, no.
17:34I trust you with my life.
17:36You were strong and capable.
17:40I used to think myself like that.
17:43But boy, I didn't see Brontë coming.
17:47You weren't the only one.
17:49I was closest to her.
17:51She was living under my roof, for God's sake.
17:53And I had no idea.
17:57What does that say about me?
18:00That you see the best in people.
18:02I love her.
18:04It says I'm a fool.
18:09Hey!
18:10How's the big first day back at work?
18:12Shouldn't you be having lunch with your new colleagues?
18:14Maybe next time.
18:15We need to talk.
18:16Okay.
18:17We need to talk about Rory.
18:18He said he saw you today.
18:19I need you to end things with him.
18:23Since when do you care who I'm dating?
18:26Since you started dating a gang member.
18:29What are you talking about?
18:31This new posting of mine?
18:33It's at one of the worst stations in the whole state.
18:36And the gang your boyfriend's in is the reason why.
18:38So I'm just going to need you to stay away from this guy.
18:40Okay, please?
18:42I wouldn't be asking you this if it wasn't important.
18:44So please, do as I ask.
18:49I'm sorry.
19:00Hey.
19:01Hey.
19:02Did work finish early?
19:04I've had enough for one day.
19:07Did Harper manage to get you out?
19:11Yeah, for a bit.
19:13Just prefer being at home.
19:17Xander.
19:19Listen to this.
19:20He says,
19:21Dana, come on.
19:22Don't let Bronte come between us.
19:24You at least owe me a conversation.
19:26I owe him.
19:28I owe him even though he's the one that messed up.
19:30No, I don't think...
19:31I'm sorry.
19:32Why all of a sudden is it on me to make him feel better?
19:34You know what?
19:35I don't know.
19:36Sorry.
19:37I can't help.
19:38Okay, well, do you think I should reply to this?
19:39Or am I just going to keep ignoring him?
19:40I think you should trust your own gut.
19:43Because, you know,
19:45mine hasn't done me any favours lately.
19:50Sigh.
19:57Here you are.
19:59Don't worry.
20:00I'm on my own.
20:02I left Dingo by the side of the road somewhere.
20:05Wasn't sure what beer you liked, so, uh,
20:07got the kind I liked.
20:09Thought we could go back to your place.
20:12Find something fun to do.
20:14Right.
20:17You okay?
20:19Not really.
20:25I had a, uh,
20:27pretty interesting chat with Cash earlier.
20:33I'm sure you could probably guess what that was about.
20:36Probably could.
20:41So is it true?
20:43Are you in a gang?
20:46If that's what you want to call it.
20:49Look, I don't know what your brother's told you.
20:52But please, just...
20:55Just let me explain.
20:57Give me one good reason why I shouldn't dump you right now.
21:09Tell your brother he's got nothing to worry about.
21:12Neither do you.
21:13Cash is worried about you.
21:14I am worried about you.
21:15You don't need to be.
21:16You don't know him like I do.
21:18Why don't you try getting your facts straight
21:20before you start throwing accusations around?
