00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02Grace, she had no idea about the sale.
00:05But this is what Paul found in Tess Carmichael's apartment.
00:08That's Melanie.
00:09So we've got a positive ID on the blood test.
00:11It's Totie's.
00:12Something terrible has happened, I know it.
00:14Why would Justin do that?
00:15This is mega break time.
00:17I could hack Holly's phone.
00:19We know where Holly is.
00:20When we find Holly, we'll let you know.
00:22Do you have any idea where my phone went?
00:23No, the message died.
00:25What's the number?
00:26Did my dad message back yet?
00:27Do you want to be here or not?
00:31Neighbors.
00:37Cairns?
00:38I just checked into a hotel for the night.
00:40Oh, well it's alright for some.
00:42What about me?
00:43Nobody knows where you are.
00:45I've made sure the police won't find me either.
00:47Or at the very least, bought some time.
00:49Okay, what's your plan?
00:51I'm still trying to figure that out.
00:52Is Justin there?
00:56Heath, is Justin there?
00:58I don't know.
00:59I'm at the accommodation.
01:02I told you to stay at Warwick.
01:04Yeah, go back now.
01:05You better get me out of this.
01:09Is everything alright?
01:10Yeah, I just had to go back to the station.
01:13Okay.
01:14Heath, I'm really sorry about before.
01:19I didn't mean to seem ungrateful.
01:22I'm having a really nice time.
01:24Yeah, I'll be back soon.
01:29Bye.
01:38Hello, Lulu.
01:39The flight departed five hours ago.
01:41Tess's phone was found near the gate, dumped in a bin.
01:44Well, obviously she's fleeing the country.
01:46This is getting worse and worse.
01:48We're trying to contact the flight crew, see if she's actually on the flight.
01:51You need to stop her.
01:53She has to tell you what happened to Tony and Mel.
01:55As soon as we will.
01:56The flight is just in international airspace at the moment, so there's a lot of red tape.
02:01Can't the Queensland Police do something to help find Heath and Holly?
02:04Unfortunately, there's no station near Mount Harbour.
02:07The nearest office is half a day's driveway.
02:09But surely all of this is connected.
02:11Isn't that reason enough for them to do something?
02:13Without confirmed proof that Holly's actually in danger.
02:15Proof? Proof? How much more proof do you need?
02:17Yeah, and all I know is that Tony is out there somewhere.
02:21Injured or worse.
02:26Do I need to throw resources at this?
02:29I appreciate that, Paul, but look, we've got processes in place for a reason.
02:33Just leave it with us, all right?
02:35Yeah, OK.
02:38When Haz and Mac land, I'll have to update them too.
02:41We just don't know what we're dealing with.
02:56Am I judgemental?
02:59Holly said that she didn't tell me about seeing Heath because I would judge her.
03:03You're not judgemental.
03:06She told Sadie about him and not me.
03:09What does that say about our friendship?
03:12And I know that there will be times that I haven't told her about what's happening in my life,
03:16but, I mean, I thought we'd passed that.
03:19I thought that we trusted each other.
03:21And I keep going over our last conversation.
03:25What I said and what she said.
03:32What if something terrible happens to her?
03:37What if I never get the chance to make things right?
03:55I'm sorry.
04:26I'm sorry.
04:39Justin!
04:47Justin!
04:55Justin!
05:25Justin!
05:55Justin!
06:09Where are we?
06:10Why are we here?
06:12Drink.
06:13Oh.
06:24Heath, whatever's going on here, you don't have to do this.
06:28Shut up.
06:29You're clearly part of something that's just much bigger than you.
06:33I said shut up!
06:35Yeah, I heard the guy who brought us here.
06:39I heard him on the phone to Ted's.
06:41It didn't sound like he had much of a handle on all of this either.
06:46People are going to notice that we're gone.
06:48This wasn't part of your big plan, was it?
06:51You can get out of this, but you've got to let us go.
06:54Because if you don't, they're going to keep looking for us.
06:56Let's go.
06:57Come on.
06:58Do it.
06:59Do it.
07:03They're going to keep looking for you.
07:06They'll be ready to hear you scream anyway.
07:12You don't have to do this.
07:14You've had it.
07:15You've had it.
07:16Let's go.
07:17Let's go.
07:38They must have put us in different parts of the train.
07:42What is it we are?
07:44Um...
07:47In the middle of nowhere.
07:49Yeah, we're north.
07:52We're far north.
07:54Yeah, this is part of some big scam, that much is clear.
07:58It feels like they're just making this up as they go.
08:01This doesn't feel very reassuring.
08:05Or we could use it to our advantage, yeah?
08:07Yeah.
08:08So, there's a chance that...
08:10There's a chance that we can still get out of this.
08:13Okay?
08:15I suppose it makes sense that Tess would go to Hawaii.
08:18Well, Heath bought that house there.
08:20Yeah, but why would Heath be in the outback with Holly?
08:23Alright.
08:24Thanks, John.
08:25Alright, keep me posted, mate.
08:27Anything?
08:28No, unfortunately John's hitting the same obstacles as the police.
08:32Rhys just sent through a report.
08:35It's everything Tess has been doing in the Asia Pacific region.
08:39Well, let's go back to yours and digest that.
08:41There might be something relevant.
08:42Yeah.
08:43Alright, stay in touch, okay?
08:44Yeah.
08:46We should go home, call Lizzie.
08:48Oh yes, we promised updates.
08:50No, no, no, it's fine. I'll be okay, thank you.
08:53It's okay.
08:59What am I going to tell the kids?
09:01I don't think you need to tell them anything at the moment, they're with friends.
09:04Their father's missing.
09:06He's the only parent they've got left.
09:08They can't lose him.
09:10I can't lose him. I can't.
09:13Oh, it's Rhys.
09:19You're not a bad friend.
09:21Really?
09:23Yeah, you've always wanted the best for Holly.
09:26The fact that we're on this crazy trip just proves that.
09:33I love you.
09:35Is that weird of me to say right now?
09:38I love you too.
09:40Oh.
10:05How could he just bail on me?
10:07What the hell am I supposed to do with them?
10:17Hey.
10:19How's everything at the station?
10:21Fine for now.
10:22Okay.
10:23What's that smell?
10:24Oh, um, I found a couple ingredients in the cupboard and I added them to what we bought.
10:27Call it a Holly special.
10:29I am kind of hungry.
10:30We can't have that.
10:31You're also a little bit, um, cattle smelly.
10:34Oh, am I now?
10:37Why don't you go, um, start the shower and I'll just turn the stove down.
10:42I'll come meet you in a minute.
10:44Yeah, sounds good.
11:02Shh.
11:12What are you doing?
11:18I'm just gonna text Dad.
11:20I said no.
11:22I'm just gonna tell him how amazing everything is to y'all.
11:25No!
11:32It's okay.
11:34Never mind.
11:37Do you want to go for a shower?
11:49Come on.
11:51Come on.
12:00Will they even be looking for us?
12:03Will you tell anyone that we were going to that house?
12:07They're just gonna think we've gone missing.
12:09Both of us.
12:10Someone will make the connection with who they text.
12:12What if they don't?
12:14You know what everyone's gonna be thinking.
12:17I'm sorry I'm not helping.
12:21I'm...
12:23I'm the one who should be sorry.
12:26I dragged you into this.
12:28You didn't know this was gonna happen.
12:33I, um...
12:36I've treated you so badly, Melanie.
12:40And Therese.
12:43I'm not sure you're gonna be making up your mind.
12:46You've been avoiding me.
12:51Well, I did a lot of thinking in New York.
12:53Realized that I had to be more respectful of you and Tony.
12:58There was a time when you accepted us.
13:04I watched you fall in love, Therese.
13:07So I put my feelings aside because I just wanted you to be happy.
13:12And then I lost David and...
13:15In my mind, all bets were off.
13:18I did want you back.
13:19Even the whole time I was with Chelsea.
13:24I felt such betrayal when I realized you had an agenda.
13:28Yeah, I know.
13:32I know that's why I had to get away.
13:34Just to get some sort of perspective.
13:39When you love someone, you always put their happiness first.
13:43And I know that Tony makes you happy.
13:47Yeah.
13:52I want him back so badly.
13:57But the thing is...
14:00Things weren't okay before he left.
14:05Can I ask why you got so upset when I said we were never meant to be?
14:11I don't know.
14:13Rhonda thinks it's unpatentable, my behavior.
14:19Sorry.
14:21Sorry.
14:22I shouldn't be telling you this. I'm sorry.
14:26It's okay. I'm at peace with us now.
14:28I'm in the end.
14:33Are you...
14:36Are you questioning your love for Therese?
14:41I...
14:42I tell her that I'm not.
14:47I'm lying.
14:49I know I am.
14:51It's...
14:52I'm questioning everything.
14:56Are you doubting your feelings towards him?
14:58No.
15:00No.
15:02I love him.
15:04I have faith in us.
15:07I have to.
15:11Do you recognize any of these other businesses?
15:15No.
15:16They must be SimCast investments.
15:18They're all posting at a loss.
15:23The figures for Lassiter's are inflated.
15:25What if the others are too?
15:27Well, if that's true, that means there's a lot of money that's missing.
15:33Oh my God, it's so obvious now.
15:35She's embezzling.
15:37And I bet Heath must be in on it too.
15:40Alright, this one's interesting.
15:42Warranty station.
15:452.1 million loss?
15:50Oh, you'll never guess where this is.
16:08Anything from Holly?
16:10No, but there is a message from Andrew.
16:13Cody and Melanie are still missing.
16:15And they think they'll last at Tess' house, so he wants us to call him.
16:19Okay, well I just got a message from Krista.
16:21She said something about a cattle station.
16:26It's a two hour drive from Mount Harper.
16:28And Tess just closed it down.
16:30So it would explain why Heath would head to that part of the country.
16:33Hey, any updates?
16:35Turns out Tess wasn't even on the flight to Hawaii.
16:37What?
16:38What?
16:39It's a bum steer.
16:40We're checking all the airport CCTV to see if she caught a different flight.
16:43We got Krista's message.
16:45Do you think it's possible that Holly and Heath could be at this cattle station?
16:48Well, I can contact the Queensland Police again.
16:50Hopefully it's enough to send someone out there.
16:52Hopefully?
16:53Do I need to charter a plane myself, do I?
16:55I think you're underestimating how remote this place is.
16:59It's Mac.
17:00Look, if anyone's going to arrive first, it's them.
17:03Mac, have you just landed?
17:04There's been some developments.
17:08Paul?
17:12You found out what Tess has been up to?
17:15Yeah.
17:22I'm not driving the Cairns.
17:23You have to.
17:24How else would I give you your fake passport?
17:26How will we leave the country together?
17:28Well, can't you just transfer me the money?
17:30What for?
17:31So I can make my own way.
17:32I have organized everything.
17:34Our flights to Beijing, our transfers.
17:38Don't you want to be together?
17:40What I want is to not be in this situation.
17:42I'm not happy either.
17:44But we are.
17:47Who was that?
17:48Nobody.
17:49Sounded like somebody.
17:51I need time to think.
17:53Are you sure there's nobody there?
17:58You need to follow my instructions.
17:59That goes for Toadie and Melanie too.
18:07There you are.
18:10Is that Tess?
18:12She's always telling me what to do.
18:15What exactly is going on at the station?
18:19If you tell me, I can help you.
18:20It's under control.
18:21It's under control.
18:28This place reminds me of how small we are.
18:31In this world.
18:33I think we're so big.
18:36So important, but we're actually just little specks.
18:40Yeah, Tess makes me feel that way a lot.
18:45Well, then cut the cord.
18:48Do it now.
18:49Maybe we can go traveling together like you said.
18:52What happened to talking to your dad?
18:55Maybe I don't need to.
19:01Why did you come with me?
19:05You invited me.
19:06You barely know me.
19:09I know that I like you.
19:12You said that you like me.
19:17Maybe we can do something fun tomorrow.
19:20Yeah.
19:25I'm going back to the station first thing.
19:50It's completely frozen.
19:52Yeah, so is mine.
19:55That turn we made before, was it too early?
19:58Yeah, was it the one before that?
20:08Are you thinking about what Andrew said?
20:12Yeah, on the one hand, it makes me more worried about Holly.
20:15Yeah.
20:16Yeah, on the one hand, it makes me more worried about Holly.
20:19But on the other, it's like, should we just wait for the police?
20:26Well, we can't go anywhere until that starts working again.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Yeah.
20:59Hey.
21:00Hey.
21:30Hey.
21:32Hey.
21:58Why hasn't she returned our calls?
22:02I know she's had a bad run with relationships, but this thing with Heath, I don't understand it.
22:09I don't understand it.
22:31Come on.
22:54Just do as I say.
22:56I'm tired of you calling the shots.
22:58It ends now, Tess.
22:59He's got Toadie.
23:00He's got them all.
23:07What have you done?
