00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way.
00:09Watch him go, watch him go.
00:12What are you doing to him? What's happened?
00:14You need to wait outside.
00:15Sonny is the reason Theo got into this mess.
00:17The reason Theo is in ICU is because he slept with a river boy's girlfriend.
00:20That's not on, Sonny.
00:22You and Theo, quite close, aren't you?
00:24No, I wouldn't go that far.
00:25Maybe we could head down to the station and have a chat about it there.
00:27Levi, what does this mean?
00:30He's arresting.
00:31Where are you taking him?
00:32Surgery. I'm sorry, I've got a kidney.
00:34Please look after him.
00:35I'll do my best.
00:36Please.
00:36I can't believe this is happening.
00:38Someone needs to pay for this.
00:39I can't deal with you right now.
00:40No, you're not going anywhere. I've got something to say to you.
00:43All right, please.
00:46I'm going to organize a full CT.
00:47Is that really necessary?
00:49You could be bleeding into your liver, your kidney.
00:51You could have a perforated spleen for all I know.
00:54So what's it going to be?
00:55I'll get a scan.
00:56It seems like it was a bad accident to me.
00:58Well, I didn't actually say anything about an accident.
01:01But since you've got so much to say, how about we start with you?
01:03Right through.
01:14What is this?
01:15Hello, sweetheart.
01:16If only he was this perfect on the drive home from the hospital.
01:21He cried the whole way.
01:22Oh, he's just excited to see his auntie, I mean.
01:25He's a darling.
01:27I think he was picking up on his dad's knees.
01:28What a stressful drive of my life.
01:30It would have been quicker to walk.
01:32Yeah.
01:32Well, you're here now.
01:35You can make as much racket as you'd like.
01:38Yes, you can.
01:40I think it might be time for a feed.
01:42Oh, yeah.
01:42Hey, got your dad's appetite.
01:45You do.
01:48You do.
01:50I'll call out if you need anything.
01:51Nah, we're all good.
01:54Okay?
01:54Well, I might put on the kettle.
01:59Good idea.
02:04So, um, how are you travelling?
02:07Yeah, mostly by the seat of my pants.
02:10But feels right, you know.
02:14What kind of person shoves a hospital patient?
02:16I barely touched him.
02:19You lighten up, you lot.
02:20Are you okay, mate?
02:20Yeah, mate, you know me.
02:21Good looking and tough as nails.
02:23I'll be back soon.
02:24How bad is it?
02:26He clearly took a severe beating.
02:28We'll know more after the scans.
02:30Right.
02:31Well, maybe now you can stop blaming him for everything, huh?
02:33I don't know.
02:33I still blame him for getting Theo into this mess in the first place.
02:44Theo's a sloppy mechanic.
02:46It was probably a bad accident to put him in hospital.
02:50No.
02:50No, there's clear evidence that he was tied up.
02:52It's not like he lowered the car in himself.
02:56You know, if he doesn't make it, this becomes a murder investigation.
03:02Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
03:05It's a top bloke.
03:06It'd be a shame to lose him.
03:06Did you know he was sleeping with your girlfriend?
03:11Yeah.
03:12I knew.
03:13I'm not a judge.
03:15Sounds like motive.
03:15Me and Lacey have an open relationship.
03:18Maybe you should try it with your girl.
03:22Eden.
03:23Right?
03:24Right.
03:24Well, this has been fun, Newman.
03:32But I reckon we're done, yeah.
03:34You can go.
03:35No.
03:47Edmund.
03:48You're next.
03:48I am so pleased that things are sorted.
04:07You and Harper working together.
04:09Yeah.
04:09I'm just grateful to be included.
04:11For what it's worth, Harper will really appreciate the support.
04:16I hope so.
04:16Well, love, I know so.
04:18She's the new mum.
04:20She's going to want all the help she can get.
04:28Hey.
04:43So I was thinking, um, I might sleep on the couch tonight if that's all right.
04:50Do you have glasses in the morning?
04:52Oh, got it covered.
04:54Now I want to be here for Archie.
04:56And you.
04:58That, that's really thoughtful.
05:02Hey.
05:03You forgot your tea.
05:04Oh, thanks, Irene.
05:06Harper and I were just talking about me staying the night.
05:08If that's okay with you.
05:10Oh, yeah.
05:12Absolutely.
05:12I'll, I'll sort the bed.
05:14Oh, thanks, Irene.
05:16Do you hear that little man?
05:18That's going to be here all night to help look after you.
05:21It looks so pale.
05:28Hmm.
05:30Hey, where's Levi?
05:32He's been called into another emergency.
05:35Is Theo going to be okay?
05:38The surgery went well, but it is still touching her.
05:41I, well, I don't understand.
05:44Yeah, either it worked or it didn't.
05:46They managed to resolve the complication.
05:48So that's good.
05:49Yes.
05:50But, Leah, it's not a guarantee that it won't happen again.
05:53Okay, even if he does wake up now, there is still a huge risk of complications.
06:00If there are any questions.
06:01No, thank you.
06:02Have a seat.
06:21Appreciate your cooperation.
06:23I understand that you must be under a lot of pressure.
06:27Can you tell me what happened to Theo?
06:29You're wasting your time.
06:31Can you tell me what you saw?
06:32Nobody saw anything.
06:34I think we were probably back at the house by the time he had his accident.
06:37Is that what Gage asked you to say?
06:38I can't help you.
06:43I think that you want to help me, but you're scared.
06:47You know, we can protect you.
06:49If you believe that, then you really are clueless.
06:52You and Theo are close, right?
06:55Gage and I are in agreement.
06:56Sorry, he said the same thing to me, and I'm just not buying it.
06:59He doesn't really strike me as the kind of guy he likes to share, so if you want to know
07:02what I reckon, I reckon that he sniffed out the truth about you and Theo and he didn't
07:06like it.
07:07I think we're done.
07:08Theo clearly cares about you.
07:10He put himself in a dangerous situation just to be with you.
07:13Don't look at Gage.
07:15He can't hear what we're saying.
07:17I think you care about Theo too.
07:19So how are you going to feel if he doesn't make it?
07:21Who am I, who am I, who am I without you?
07:48Hey.
07:49Yeah, I had a look at Sonny's scans, and there is some bleeding around his left kidney.
07:54What does that mean?
07:55Does he need to have an operation?
07:57No, we're hoping that it will resolve itself.
07:59So he'll be okay?
08:01We'll monitor him closely, but hopefully yes.
08:05Hey guys, he needs his rest.
08:08Why don't you two head home?
08:10Wittering out here isn't exactly helping anyone, so...
08:12No.
08:12All right, thanks for looking after him.
08:14See you in the morning.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Bye.
08:15See ya.
08:16Come on.
08:19Hey.
08:20Hey.
08:20Sorry I haven't got back to you.
08:22I thought you were too busy.
08:23I'd have to talk to Sonny.
08:24Oh, Bray said he needs his rest.
08:25Yeah, don't worry.
08:26I'm going to make sure that he keeps it brief.
08:28Good luck.
08:28Okay, thanks.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Seriously though, Sonny really doesn't need any extra stress.
08:33Okay, I'll be as quick as I can.
08:35Great.
08:35Yeah.
08:40Hey, what's going on?
08:42Just going to ask you some more questions, Sonny.
08:43If you're feeling up to it.
08:44Yeah, it's fine.
08:46Thanks.
08:50Are any of these the guys who attacked you?
08:52Why are you still wasting your time on this gauge as the one you should be focused on?
08:55This is focused on your situation.
08:57You could have killed Theo.
08:58Yeah, and that's your word against theirs, and right now I need some proof.
09:00Also go find some.
09:01Sonny, can you just look at the photos, please?
09:03It's him.
09:27It's him.
09:28Are you surfing?
09:31Yeah.
09:32But Gage is the one you want.
09:33He's the one calling the shots, and you know it.
09:35Hey.
09:38How's it going?
09:56Sorry about the noise.
10:02You didn't have to get up.
10:03Oh, I don't mind.
10:04You need anything?
10:06No, I'm good.
10:07Oh.
10:08Oh, let me know when you're finished.
10:09I'll come settle in.
10:10Oh, I've got him.
10:11You sure?
10:12Yeah.
10:16Can you shut the door?
10:36I've still got nothing that directly ties Gage to hurting Theo.
10:39So what are you going to do?
10:40Well, I don't know.
10:45Well, you know, which of the boys hurt Sonny?
10:47Maybe you could use him against Gage.
10:49I mean, that guy's on a tight leash.
10:50I don't think he's going to talk.
10:52Night in the cells might change that.
10:53Yeah, maybe.
10:54Maybe.
10:55But I'm still waiting on the arrest for it.
10:57Everything's just moving so slowly.
11:00I just hope that Theo's going to be okay.
11:08Hey.
11:09Hey.
11:10Did you manage to get any sleep?
11:12No.
11:14Levi came in in the middle of the night and pretty much said the same thing you did.
11:18So...
11:19Please tell me there's been a change this morning.
11:23No.
11:24I'm sorry.
11:24There has been no change at all.
11:26Do you think he's going to wake up any time soon?
11:31I think it's really important that you manage expectations.
11:35We would have expected some improvement by now, but there hasn't been any.
11:39The longer that Theo remains unconscious, the more likely it is that he'll end up on a ventilator.
11:47Okay.
11:47All of this could have been avoided.
11:57What do you mean?
11:59He told me about the girl and that she was in a relationship and all I said was be careful.
12:09He came to me too.
12:12I didn't tell him to walk away either.
12:17But, you know, I said he should talk to her and figure out what their options were.
12:24He seemed so excited.
12:25Yeah, he was.
12:29If we'd have known, we'd have handled things differently, all right?
12:33But we didn't know.
12:35Still, all of this could have been avoided.
12:39You want to blame someone, blame Sonny.
12:43He's the one who got Theo into this mess.
12:50Where's Lacey?
12:52I think she was here earlier.
12:53Well, she's not here now.
12:55Where is she?
12:58Come on.
12:59Starting to feel like harassment, mate.
13:01Maybe I should call my lawyer.
13:03Hey, maybe you should.
13:05I'm here for Edmund Spanner-Smith.
13:08Keep your mouth shut.
13:10You're under arrest for the assault of Sonny Baldwin.
13:13You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be used in evidence against you.
13:16Do you understand?
13:18And if anybody wants to join him, you can be my guest.
13:20Yeah, all right, all right.
13:21Just play nice.
13:22Not the first time the cops have got it wrong.
13:24Yeah, we'll see about that.
13:26Just relax.
13:27I'll organise a lawyer.
13:28You'll be home in no time.
13:35Wait, Gage.
13:37Where's your girlfriend?
13:39What's it to you?
13:40I don't keep her on a leash.
13:44In.
13:44I'm sorry you're still in here.
13:59They've promised me you're going to be moved to a ward very soon.
14:03I'll be way comfier.
14:05I'd rather be discharged.
14:07Would you like some more pain relief?
14:08No, I'm okay.
14:10Thanks.
14:11I really had you pegged as more of a complainer.
14:13I'm kind of disappointed.
14:14I guess I'm off my game, eh?
14:17Yeah.
14:18I'm going to help you with that.
14:20Jeez.
14:24Careful.
14:24You're going to spoil me.
14:26Well, not for much longer.
14:27I'm going to go home.
14:29I know you're devastated.
14:30Well, yeah.
14:32Thanks for staying.
14:33You stayed a lot longer than you should have.
14:35I'll come check on you tomorrow.
14:43Lacey?
14:44What are you doing here?
14:47Hey.
14:48Um, I came to check on Theo, but I don't know where he is.
14:52He's in intensive care, but they're not allowing any visitors.
14:55Is he okay?
14:58We, uh, we don't know if he's going to pull through.
15:00No.
15:02You are going to make Gage pay for this, right?
15:05I see you were there.
15:07Just tell the cops what happened.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:13This was a mistake.
15:14I shouldn't have come.
15:15So you're just going to walk away?
15:17Look, I can't say anything.
15:19Gage will kill me.
15:20Lacey, you were playing a dangerous game right from the start.
15:22You knew that.
15:23Do you not owe it to Theo to at least make Gage pay for what he's done?
15:27No.
15:35Well, I could do this all day, but I have a feeling Daddy might want a little cuddle.
15:43Yeah, he loves his cuddles, eh?
15:44Actually, it's nap time.
15:46Oh, okay.
15:47There we go.
15:48Hey.
15:51Hey, girly.
15:52There he is.
15:55How was the first night?
15:59Barely heard a peep.
16:01Uh, Irene is being polite.
16:03We had our fair share of windings.
16:06Oh, no.
16:06I don't believe that.
16:07I think you're an angel.
16:08That's your auntie.
16:09Do you want a cuddle?
16:12I do.
16:13I can't.
16:15I have to sleep.
16:16Oh, tough shift, love.
16:18Yes.
16:18I will tell you about it later.
16:21Okay.
16:22Bye, my little man.
16:23Bye, girl.
16:24Bye.
16:25Have a good sleep.
16:30Oh, you must be hungry.
16:31How about I got something to eat?
16:33Oh, I'm pretty tired.
16:35I might go lie down while I have the chance.
16:39Love, if you're peckish, I don't mind making you something.
16:45Oh, no, no.
16:45No, thanks.
16:47Yeah, I should probably go check on the gym anyway.
16:49Didn't think you had to work today.
16:51No.
16:51Don't need my help.
16:53See you later.
16:54See you, love.
16:59Hey, guys.
17:00I'm heading home, but don't worry.
17:02If anything changes, they will call me back in.
17:04Thanks, Pri.
17:04You've been amazing.
17:05I'll see you soon.
17:06I thought you might need one of these.
17:10Oh, I was about to head home.
17:11I need to sleep.
17:12Well, you definitely don't want coffee.
17:14Thank you for the thought.
17:15Yeah, of course, mate.
17:17Remy, can I have a word?
17:19Sure.
17:20See you later.
17:23You're not welcome here, mate.
17:25All right?
17:25Because I defended Sonny.
17:27Mate, he's not the one sleeping with the enemy.
17:29You can keep telling yourself that all you like,
17:31but the fact of the matter is that Theo wouldn't be in that bed
17:34if it wasn't for Sonny.
17:34No, no, he wouldn't be.
17:36He'd still be under a car.
17:37Oh.
17:39Yeah, Sonny saved Theo's life.
17:41So how about we cut the attitude?
17:43It's not helping anyone.
17:45How's the patient?
17:46I'm still stuck here.
17:47He's getting moved to a ward,
17:49although I think he might be a flight rescue.
17:51Might need to cough him.
17:52Hmm.
17:54Are you any closer to now, and Gage?
17:56Well, we're working on that.
17:57But we did get Spanner, so that's a start.
18:01Okay, Sonny.
18:02Time to get you settled into a proper bed, eh?
18:04I'll give you 50 bucks if you will me out the front door.
18:07Dana said you might be a handful.
18:09Oh.
18:09What else did she say about me?
18:12See ya.
18:12Bye.
18:16Did you get anything out of Spanner about Gage?
18:20Okay, so what's your next move?
18:22Well, I'm worried about Gage's girlfriend.
18:23She wasn't there when we made the arrest.
18:25Okay, well, apparently she was just in here.
18:28What?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Yeah, Sonny said she came in to check on Theo.
18:33Is that right?
18:40What do you mean he's not going to make bail?
18:42Mate, you said you'd sort this.
18:45Fix it.
18:45Where have you been?
18:50I'm sorry, I just want to clear my head.
18:52They arrested Spanner.
18:53You should have been here.
18:56I'm sorry.
18:58Cops becoming a nuisance.
19:00I know, it's all my fault.
19:01If I hadn't been cheated, none of this would have happened.
19:07Glad to hear you finally learned your lesson.
19:08Actually, I've been thinking maybe we should take a break.
19:17You want to leave?
19:18No, no, no.
19:18It's just until things settle down.
19:20I just don't want you to lose face with the boys, that's all.
19:23I appreciate your concern.
19:25After everything that comes to me, I need to miss you.
19:28Your place is here, with me, where I can keep an eye on you.
19:41I would hate it if anything terrible ever happened to you.
19:58Hey, you're here.
20:18Hey.
20:19How's the gym?
20:20Busy, yeah.
20:21Glad I dropped them.
20:24Love, you were on top of the world last night.
20:27What's happened?
20:28You know, it's one of those days.
20:30Oh, please.
20:32How blind do you reckon I am?
20:34I'm fine.
20:35I've seen how hard you're trying with Harper.
20:39I just don't get it.
20:41And she won't leave me help.
20:58Did you really mean it when you said you could protect me?
21:09What the hell, Lacey?
21:11Let me know where you are.
21:12Do not make me come and look for you.
21:15You're going to get him, right?
21:20Yeah.
21:20I'm going to get him.
21:21Lacey's actually come forward as a witness.
21:23No, no, no, no.
21:24Gage is not going to like that.
21:25Gage doesn't know.
21:26He might not know now, but he's going to find out.
21:28Probably Lacey's disappeared from the motel I put her in overnight.
21:30You think she's changed the mind about testimony?
21:32Well, Gage has got to it.
21:33Let's go.
21:36We're done.
21:37We're done.
21:39We're done.
21:42We're done.
21:48No, no, no!
21:52No, no, no.
21:55No, no, no.
21:57No, no.
