00:00Previously on Neighbours
00:02Forget Paul. I'm with you.
00:04Look, I know you've met Chelsea.
00:05Hi.
00:06But have you met her as my girlfriend?
00:07You're about to secure investors for your dream job.
00:10Mm-hmm.
00:16Leah Tanaka, I'm challenging you for the murder of Sebastian Metcalfe.
00:19What exactly is going on?
00:20Leo's taken Abby and disappeared.
00:22Can't lose another son.
00:24Can you ask Abby where she is?
00:26It's my fault that Seb is dead. I killed him, not Leo.
00:30Neighbours
00:34Everybody needs good neighbours
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:58Be friends
01:00Good friends
01:02No.
01:03Do you think I should wait until Therese gets home tonight?
01:06Do you think I should wait until Therese gets home tonight?
01:24Can you wait that long?
01:25No.
01:26We should go now.
01:27Hello.
01:28Hey.
01:29Are you two coming or going?
01:30We're going.
01:31Sorry.
01:32Okay.
01:33Hi.
01:37Have JJ and Nell gone?
01:38Yeah, you just missed them.
01:40Would you be able to keep an eye on Thomas for me for an hour or so?
01:47Of course.
01:48Thanks.
01:49I just need to clear my head.
01:51I know how you feel.
01:53I don't know how you feel.
01:58I need to know who's going.
02:00Can you see your eyes?
02:02In the house.
02:03I got eyes.
02:04I got eyes.
02:06You're very beautiful.
02:07Yes.
02:08You're very beautiful, honey.
02:10Smell my flowers, Dad.
02:16Oh, they're very sweet, honey.
02:19Look, we've got to go inside and pack
02:20because we've got that big plane ride tonight.
02:22Remember?
02:23Krista!
02:23Leo.
02:26Krista?
02:27What?
02:27How did you find us?
02:28Don't worry.
02:29Nobody else knows that you're here.
02:30Oh.
02:31Do you want to keep playing with your flowers?
02:36Abby and Ila were playing Wombat Watch on the iPad
02:38and there's a share location feature.
02:40Of course.
02:45I was so relieved to see that you were still in Melbourne.
02:47I thought you'd be long gone.
02:49There was a plan,
02:51but the guy preparing our passports let me down,
02:53so our flight's tonight.
02:59Where are you going?
03:02It's because you don't know.
03:03Well, Leah, just tell me.
03:07Brazil.
03:07Dad has some friends here.
03:10I was going to look them up and...
03:12I don't know.
03:16Look, I told you that I would never let you go to jail.
03:18It's not that simple, Chris.
03:20You're not doing this on your own.
03:23I'm coming with you.
03:24Okay, thank you, everyone.
03:26That's it for today.
03:27Great.
03:28Quick meeting's a good meeting.
03:29Yes, well, I aim to please Carl, you know that?
03:31Mm-hmm.
03:32Hey, um, didn't I tell you
03:34one of Chelsea's contacts wants to talk about the health centre?
03:37Oh, that's promising, isn't it?
03:39Yeah, I still can't believe she tapped into a network for me like that.
03:42I'm glad everything's working out so well for you.
03:44Mm-hmm.
03:46Hey, um, why don't you guys come to dinner tonight?
03:49Get to know her a little bit better.
03:51Oh, I was actually looking forward to collapsing on the couch.
03:53It's been a hefty day.
03:54Yeah.
03:55Hmm.
03:56You've heard things.
03:58Chelsea's not her mistakes, just like I'm not mine.
04:02Doesn't she deserve a second chance to?
04:04The difference is that you have literally put years into your redemption.
04:08Chelsea's mistakes are still in the rearview mirror.
04:11Mm.
04:12Everyone has to start somewhere.
04:15I'm sorry, Darcy.
04:17I just don't understand why, out of all the women in the world,
04:19you have chosen to align yourself with someone who has such a checkered history.
04:24Well, we've all got skeletons, right?
04:28Don't you want to see what I see in her?
04:31Oh, fine.
04:34Fine.
04:35Okay, let's do dinner.
04:36Yes, yes, why not?
04:49I need to speak with you, privately.
04:52Mel, are you all right?
04:53I just really need to speak with you.
04:55It's all right.
04:56We'll get out of here.
04:56Yeah, yeah, I'll just grab my bag and we'll be off.
05:02Mel, are you scaring me?
05:04What happened?
05:07Anna?
05:10I know you saw me, Robertson.
05:24You know this is bordering on harassment.
05:29My uniform's reported that Leo hasn't been seen at the vineyard today.
05:32He also checked in at Abigail's school.
05:34She's absent.
05:35So, kids get sick all the time.
05:37Yeah, okay.
05:38I'm only here as a courtesy to let you know that we've issued a warrant for Leo's arrest.
05:42What for?
05:43Well, Richard Bale is officially a fugitive.
05:46And when we catch him, and we will, he'll be heading straight to Vermont while he awaits
05:50trial.
05:51No, not now, Chelsea.
05:59Thank God.
05:59No, no, no.
05:59You need to hear what I have to say.
06:00Chelsea, the only thing I need right now is to talk to my son.
06:03Paul, I know who killed Sebastian.
06:06I swear I didn't know he was hurt until I got back and heard that he died.
06:12Oh, Nell.
06:14You should have come to me.
06:15I didn't know how to tell you.
06:17I thought you were struggling with Big Kev's death.
06:20And that's why you wanted to go back to the US, isn't it?
06:22I just thought that dad would make everything feel better.
06:26JJ, how long have you known?
06:27Not long.
06:30We need to go to the police.
06:31Yeah, we do.
06:33We'll call your dad on the way.
06:34No, Therese, I'm really scared.
06:37But this was just an accident.
06:39Everyone will see that.
06:40I did not see that with Leo.
06:42I mean, that was completely different.
06:45You were defending yourself.
06:48Seb was making you feel unsafe.
06:49I will be with you, Nell.
06:54Every step of the way.
06:56I promise.
07:04Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
07:09Sao Paulo or Rio?
07:12Don't you get it?
07:13You'll never be able to come home.
07:16You won't be able to contact your friends,
07:18your family.
07:20You're my family.
07:21You and Abby.
07:23But you deserve more than living a life on the run.
07:26That's why I left how I did.
07:28Is it?
07:30Or is it because of what I did?
07:33Krista, this is nothing to do with-
07:34Tell me the truth, Leo.
07:35If you don't want me with you, then just say it.
07:38Of course.
07:39I want you with us.
07:40Good, then I'm coming with you.
07:42Sidi?
07:47Rio.
07:47I'll book a different flight to you and Abby,
07:50and then I'll meet you there when you're safely on the ground.
07:52It's too much for you to sacrifice for me.
07:54I would do anything for you and Abigail.
07:58Don't you get it?
07:58I love you.
08:00And I don't want to do life without either of you.
08:03You're my husband,
08:05and I am your wife,
08:06and we're doing this together.
08:11Paul, where are you?
08:12Can you come down to the police station
08:14the second you get this?
08:17Okay, so, um,
08:18the lawyer that Toadie has recommended
08:20should be here in a minute.
08:22How are you feeling?
08:24Sick.
08:24Hey, you're gonna be okay.
08:26You remember what your dad said, yeah?
08:27No one will let anything happen to you,
08:29I promise.
08:30Look at the mess you've made.
08:37Look at the mess you've made.
08:40Left me to pick up the pieces.
08:44Look at the mess you've made.
08:47All the dumb things you did left me speechless, yeah.
08:51This is your worst mistake.
08:53How do you sleep at night?
08:55Don't be what you do.
08:57Now, Rebecca,
08:59just the person I was hoping to see.
09:01Look at the mess you've made.
09:03Look at the mess you've made.
09:10As soon as I heard what Nell said,
09:12all I could think about was
09:13Paul needs to know as soon as possible.
09:15I have been calling and texting
09:17for the past 20 minutes.
09:19Well, I'm sorry,
09:19but I had my phone on silent
09:20when I was speaking with Detective Fox.
09:22Well, if you'd answered,
09:24you'd know that Nell
09:24has already confessed to everything.
09:26We could have all come down here together.
09:28They had just issued an arrest warrant
09:31for Leo breaching bail.
09:32I had to move quickly.
09:34That's right.
09:34Anything could have happened to him and Abby.
09:40Nell,
09:41come through to the interview room
09:43while we wait for your lawyer, if you'd like.
09:44Can jurors come with me?
09:47Of course.
09:48Hey, I'll wait out here for you.
09:50Um, no.
09:51Go home.
09:52We'll be ages.
09:53Okay, but you call me the second you're done, yeah?
10:00Do you want me to come in with you?
10:04You have Leo to worry about.
10:13Did you check your room
10:14to make sure you didn't leave anything?
10:15You sure?
10:16We both did.
10:18We're good to go.
10:18Right.
10:20Okay.
10:20Oh, and don't forget,
10:21you're going to need to kill your phone.
10:23What?
10:23Like, remove the SIM.
10:25Yeah, I'm sorry.
10:26I forgot.
10:28Okay, it's got to be a really long flight, okay?
10:30Can I watch cartoons?
10:32Of course.
10:32Of course you can.
10:33You can watch as many as you like.
10:35Right?
10:35I just need something to open up the SIM.
10:37Um, I thought I had a safety pin in here.
10:39No, you can't take it.
10:53What if they're tracing the call?
10:56Yeah, you're right.
10:57Paul says they know who killed Sepp.
11:11What?
11:15Paul, what's happening?
11:18It was Nell.
11:20What happened was Sebastian grabbed her
11:23and she managed to push him away.
11:24He's hit his head and fell into the lake.
11:28Krista, are you still there?
11:32Are you sure it was Nell?
11:34Yes.
11:34Yes, she's in there talking with the police right now.
11:37So we've got to find Leo.
11:38Oh, um, Dad, I'm here.
11:41Oh, Leo, where are you?
11:42In Melbourne.
11:43We were going to fly out tonight.
11:45Oh, thank God.
11:48It's OK.
11:49You can come home, son.
12:02And you didn't come straight to us.
12:04Well, it wasn't my secret to tell.
12:06JJ, we're talking about someone dying here.
12:08Leo was up on charges.
12:09There are some things that are just too big
12:11for you to handle on your own.
12:12Yeah, but it was Nell's decision
12:13and she made the right call eventually.
12:15It's just a pity that we didn't get to go to the police first.
12:17I'm not going to apologise for doing the right thing, JJ.
12:20As your mum says, this is serious stuff.
12:23Now you have dumped Nell right in the middle of it.
12:26She was coming forward all on her own
12:27and you took that opportunity away from her.
12:31I love that you want to protect her.
12:33But it really worries me
12:35that you didn't tell us something this big.
12:36Look, it was Nell's call.
12:38I could not make that for her.
12:40And Chelsea, you shouldn't have either.
12:41Hey, it's funny me.
12:45Oh, hi.
12:46Come in.
12:50Hello.
12:53Dinner at mine tonight.
12:54Carl and Susan are coming over.
12:55Oh, I don't know if you've heard about Nell,
12:58but there's a lot going on right now.
13:00Huh?
13:01Is she okay?
13:03Mm.
13:04She confessed to killing Seb.
13:05It was an accident.
13:07Self-defence.
13:09Poor kid.
13:10Anyway, I just think I need to be available
13:12in case Paul needs the support.
13:14Well, Paul and Therese will be focused on Nell and Leo tonight.
13:19Come on.
13:20You've got to eat.
13:29I can play with him
13:30if you need to get stuff done in the kitchen.
13:32No, no, no, no.
13:32We're having fun.
13:33Oh, thank you.
13:34Oh, thank you.
13:35I didn't realise you were so good with babies, Darcy.
13:37Oh, just this one.
13:39Yeah.
13:39Oh.
13:41It's Toadie.
13:42He wants to know if he can stay with us when he comes.
13:44Oh, of course he can.
13:45Yeah.
13:46Have you spoken to Nell, Susan?
13:47Very briefly, just before we came over here.
13:50How is she?
13:51Oh.
13:53Overwhelmed, as you can imagine.
13:55Very much looking forward to her dad coming back, though.
13:57Mm.
13:58I can't stop thinking how Leo must be feeling.
14:01Imagine thinking you're about to be convicted for a crime you didn't commit.
14:05Awful.
14:06Yeah.
14:09It's just a shame that Paul didn't talk to Therese first.
14:12Oh, he didn't have time.
14:14There was an arrest warrant out on Leo.
14:16The police needed to know the truth as quickly as possible.
14:19But you didn't go to the police.
14:22You went to Paul.
14:24He's Leo's father.
14:26I knew how upset he was about the whole situation.
14:28And Therese's Nell's stepmother.
14:31Surely you can see the complexities here.
14:34Um, more wine, Susan.
14:36Uh, Chelsea?
14:36I did what I thought was right.
14:43And honestly, I'd do it again.
14:47I just think there was a better way to handle it.
15:03Did the police mention what might happen next?
15:05No, not really.
15:07After they took a statement, they said they'd have an official response tomorrow morning.
15:12Right.
15:13Jeez, they love making your wait, don't they?
15:18Hey, darling.
15:21Oh, mate.
15:22You're welcome home.
15:24Oh.
15:25Oh.
15:26Let's never, ever go through that again, yeah?
15:28Yeah, getting the argument from me.
15:30So, all the charges have been dropped.
15:32How does it feel to be a free man?
15:34I don't think it's sunk in yet, has it?
15:41Why didn't you say something sooner?
15:43I mean, you must have seen what it was doing to Leo.
15:47I wanted to, but I was scared.
15:49Look, Leo's had a big day.
15:53I don't think now's the best time to talk about this.
15:57I'm so sorry.
15:59I never meant for any of this to happen.
16:01We're away of you, okay?
16:12We're going to get through this together.
16:13I'm sorry.
16:25I don't know.
