00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02It's really tense over there with Nicolette.
00:04I'm the new manager.
00:05I hired the best person for the job.
00:08I saw Wendy and Quinn yesterday and it seemed intimate.
00:11I only met with him to tell him that I couldn't see him anymore.
00:15I better go head off and see my mentor.
00:19My new ride, isn't she amazing?
00:23What did the guy that kidnapped you look like?
00:25His name is Justin.
00:27I need my money now.
00:30Pauline!
00:32Hey!
00:34Alright, no one is going nowhere until I get my cash.
01:00Neighbours should be there for one another.
01:06That's when good neighbours become good friends.
01:15Listen, just take it easy, alright?
01:18Hey, shut up or I'll shoot her!
01:21No one's leaving.
01:23No one's leaving until I get my money.
01:25Where is it?
01:28Now, where is it?
01:30I told you I don't have it.
01:32Whatever you're looking for, whatever it is you need, I can make it happen.
01:36What I need is for you to shut your mouth.
01:39Alright?
01:41Now you, hey you, go and lock all the doors.
01:44Now, lock them up.
01:48Nothing stupid.
01:53Right.
01:55Hey, what are you doing?
01:57Nothing.
01:58What's in your bag?
02:08Phone.
02:09Phones, all your phones, give them to me now.
02:11On the table.
02:21Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
02:24Oh, thank God.
02:26Someone just went home sick and I need to close up.
02:28It'll take me like 20 minutes tops.
02:30Can you watch Isla?
02:32Yeah.
02:33Yeah, sure.
02:34Okay, great.
02:35She's already in bed so you just need to read her a story if that's okay.
02:37Yeah.
02:41I'm still getting used to being back at the cafe.
02:46I'll be quick.
02:47No worries.
02:51How do you know him?
02:52What is he talking about?
02:54His name is Justin Ashton.
02:56He, he worked for Heath and Tess.
02:59He kidnapped Dodie and Mel.
03:00Is that how you could buy the car and all that other stuff?
03:03Holly!
03:22Oh my God.
03:53Hello?
04:04Andrew.
04:05Hey mate.
04:06Yeah?
04:07Hey, there's something going on in the water hole.
04:09The door's locked, they're not answering their phone.
04:11It shouldn't be closed.
04:19Shut up, all of you.
04:20Shut up.
04:22All right.
04:53Did you hear that?
04:57Open up, this is the police.
05:03This is the police, open up.
05:10This is the police, open up now.
05:16Police aren't just going to go away, you need to take charge of the situation.
05:21How much of his money is still left?
05:24I hid it in the potting mix that Dad threw out, there's none.
05:29That means you need a plan B.
05:31Which means, it means talking to them, okay?
05:37My phone.
05:38No, no, no, no.
05:51This is Paul.
05:52What?
05:54Yeah, hi Andrew, it's Paul here.
05:57I'm in the water hole.
05:59I'm with Justin Ashton and he's got a gun.
06:03Wait, hang on, who else is in there with you?
06:05I've got Holly and Susan and Aaron.
06:09Not Wendy?
06:10No.
06:13Okay, well what does Justin want?
06:15See, see we're already negotiating.
06:17You need to tell him what you want, all right?
06:20Let him know your demands.
06:22They can get you your money, see?
06:28Okay, so talk to me Justin, we can work this out together, okay?
06:35You need to back off or someone's going to get hurt.
06:40Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on.
06:42No one is going to come rushing in, I can promise you that.
06:45You just need to stay calm, okay?
06:49Justin, I'll try and get you anything that you need.
06:52You just need to let these people go.
06:54No, no, no.
06:57Now you can sit down, back with the rest of them and shut your mouth.
07:06Please, please, we just want to go home.
07:12So do I.
07:15So do I.
07:20If you want to blame anyone for this, you blame her.
07:30So we've got four hostages and we've contacted everyone that we know.
07:33No one's picking up, so I reckon he's taking the phones.
07:36We don't have a single sight line, which means we're deaf and blind to what's going on inside.
07:40Look, Serge should be with us soon.
07:41Dad, what's happened?
07:43Sage, you should not be here.
07:45Tell me what's happened first, is something wrong with the waterhole?
07:47Yeah, of course. Is Susan and Holly okay?
07:48Have you heard from Paul again?
07:50Not yet, but as far as I know, everyone's okay.
07:53Is Mum in there?
07:54No, she's not. She's with her mentor, remember. You don't need to worry about her.
08:11You shouldn't have stolen from me.
08:13I know, I'm sorry. Can you just put the gun down? We can work it out.
08:21He's way too jumpy. We have to be prepared in case he loses it.
08:25I don't think anyone could get through to him.
08:28Susan, next time he's distracted, you have to make a run for it.
08:31There's a staff exit through the kitchen door.
08:36Justin.
08:38No, I just want you to know that I own this complex, the whole place.
08:44So whatever Holly stole from you, I can get back for you two-fold. I can.
08:53I've got connections, okay? I know people who can get you out of this.
08:58I know people too. And I know what's going to happen to me if I don't pay my debts.
09:02Yeah.
09:04I need that money.
09:07Your connections aren't going to do anything for me and these cops aren't going to let me go without a fight.
09:12No, exactly. And that's why you need to keep talking to me.
09:15Shut up!
09:16Take off!
09:33Hey.
09:35Mum's not picking up. I just...
09:37Hey, look, I'm sure it's alright. Didn't your dad say that she was with her mentor?
09:41She probably just got her phone on silent.
09:43I need to get down there. Not just for Paul, but for Lassiter's and the staff as well.
09:47I'm sorry, I have to be here as well for Aaron.
09:50Look, I just spoke to Mum and she can look after Isla if you get her there in a couple of minutes.
09:54Okay, I'll get her ready.
09:59What do we know about this guy?
10:00Well, he was involved with Tescar Michael and Heath Silverson.
10:03Did some time in prison for armed robbing and other firearm charges.
10:06So he knows what's coming down the pipeline at the end of this.
10:08Yeah, that's what worries me. I don't want him to think he's got nothing to lose.
10:12We need to know what's going on inside.
10:14What about an exchange? Sending someone in with a hidden camera in exchange for a hostage?
10:19We've got this. You should go.
10:22It's an ETA on CERT.
10:23Miles getting an update?
10:30What's going on?
11:01Can I get my jacket?
11:03It's just that I'm cold.
11:07There. Don't muck around.
11:31What's going on?
11:52What's going on?
12:01So who do you owe money to?
12:06What are you trying to do, my mate, now?
12:08I'm just trying to understand.
12:12People you don't want to mess with.
12:15People like me.
12:17Start recording. Start recording.
12:19So why don't you get on with giving your terms to the police, then?
12:23Heath, mess with both of us.
12:25The police will understand that you just want your money.
12:27Heath should have finished you off when Heath had the chance.
12:30Leave her alone!
12:31Ah, shut up.
12:34Where did you come from?
12:35Nowhere. I just work in the kitchen. I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do.
12:38You get out of here. Back. Get in.
12:44Where's your phone?
12:46It's in my locker.
12:47I think there's something happening.
12:49All right, get in your pockets.
12:51Get in your pockets. Come on.
12:52I'll show you.
12:53All right, get in your pockets.
12:55Get in your pockets. Come on.
12:56I just want to get back to my wife. I don't want any trouble.
12:58Your brother just put everyone in that building at risk.
13:02All right, into your pockets.
13:04Holly, you have to go.
13:05No, no, no.
13:06No, this is my fault.
13:08Susan.
13:09No, not without Holly.
13:11Aaron, you have to go.
13:13Think of Isla.
13:14She's already lost David. She needs you.
13:18Yeah, you better not be lying to me.
13:24Anyone else out there?
13:26No, it's just me. I'm not lying, I swear.
13:34It's Aaron.
13:42Hey, where's the other guy?
13:47You think I'm stupid?
13:49You think you can play me?
13:50Well, I'm in charge here.
13:54All right, you.
13:57No, no.
13:58You're going to set my time all up.
14:00I want everyone up here in the middle.
14:02No more games. Move.
14:05There's tape.
14:06All right, you get your hands behind their backs nice and tight.
14:10No funny stuff. You, get up.
14:12Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying.
14:13Oh, come off it. Get up.
14:14No, no, no. He's got a bad leg. It's hard for him to get up.
14:17I've got to set him up. Just leave her alone, will you?
14:19Get over there, now. Go on. You're all four of it.
14:22All right, you. Tie them up nice and tight. No funny business.
14:26Oh, tie them up!
14:28Get busy, son.
14:32Hey, the cops know what's going on.
14:34We'll get through this, I promise.
14:39I think I've just made everything worse for everyone else in there.
14:43I tried to get Susan to leave, but she wouldn't leave Holly.
14:45She told me to go. She was telling me to think of Isla, but I...
14:47Susan's right. You did the right thing for your family, just like she is.
14:51How's Susan and Holly okay?
14:53Yeah, they're holding their own.
14:55What about Dad?
14:57He's been the voice of reason in there. He's making sure Justin keeps a level head.
15:01Sounds like Dad.
15:02Yeah, they're always good in a crisis.
15:06Sorry, it took me so long to get the floor plans, they were kind of difficult to find.
15:09Having the floor plans will be a big help.
15:11We'll get our people back, Christa. No matter what.
15:17I'm sorry.
15:34You okay?
15:35Yeah, just cramping. It'll pass.
15:39Paul, you okay?
15:41Yeah.
15:43Something has to happen soon. They can't just leave them in there like this.
15:55Mum didn't come home last night and she's not answering my calls or texts.
15:58What? When was the last time you heard from her?
16:01Yesterday afternoon.
16:07We need another bathroom break.
16:09Ellie, don't. No, no, we're fine.
16:11No, no, no. It's been hours since the last one.
16:15We're out of time.
16:18Susan, you first.
16:26You've got a son.
16:29Don't you?
16:30How do you know I've got a son?
16:33Melanie told me.
16:37My son's none of your business.
16:42Look, we all understand that you never meant for any of this to happen.
16:47You obviously don't have a plan.
16:49If you did, you'd be asking for something.
16:53If you talk to the police, you'll be able to find a way out.
16:57For your son.
17:00Think of your son.
17:02If that's the cops, someone in here is going to die.
17:07Come out of there!
17:10Come out of there!
17:12Come on!
17:14Please, whoever it is, just come out or he's going to shoot me!
17:17Get ready to go in.
17:20Please let her go.
17:21Come out of there!
17:24Come out of there!
17:25Go in.
17:27Please let her go.
17:28Come out of there!
17:50Take it easy.
17:52Are you a cop?
17:55No, I was just too scared to come out.
17:58Who else is out there?
18:00No one.
18:02I'm serious.
18:05Come out of there!
18:08Get out of my way.
18:10Quinn!
18:12Quinn?
18:15Isn't that your wife?
18:18Who's Quinn?
18:20Someone in here is going to die.
18:24Rodwell!
18:27Really?
18:50Hands up! Don't move! Stay where you are!
18:57The computer has been neutralised. All hostages are safe.
18:59I repeat, all hostages are safe.
19:19I'm sorry.
19:49I'm sorry.
20:19Tell me how you can lie to me and watch this all come crashing down.
20:28Tell me how I'm supposed to be and now I'm always acting out.
20:36Why were you with him?
20:42Coming up on Neighbours.
20:43He's going to tell them that I'm the reason that he held everyone hostage.
20:46Can I be charged for that?
20:47Well, you're allowed to feel rattled, Paul.
20:49I am and I wasn't even there.
20:51Is that your way of saying you were worried about me?
20:53But you have indulged Quinn so many times.
20:57You need to take a good look at yourself.
