00:00You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever
00:08No matter where you are, you're my guiding star
00:16And from the very first moment I saw you, I never felt such emotion
00:24I'm walking on air, just to know you are there
00:33Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:38I want to stay forever, close to each day
00:44I'm in no way
00:46Hey
00:50Hey
00:51You know when you cut our kiss short, I was really sad
00:54Yeah
00:54It's really hard to recreate moments like that
00:56It's just a shame they couldn't have met under better circumstances
00:59What do you mean?
01:00You know him being in hospital and all that
01:02Because he'd been beaten up, that's what the whole security and everything was for
01:06At least until another court case is over
01:08Oh, what security? What court case?
01:11The people that they testify against, they're bad guys
01:14So if you have any sway over Dana, I would keep her away
01:18Theo and Sonny are in it up to their eyeballs with the Riverboys
01:21Uh-huh, and that is what the police and the bodyguards are for
01:23I can't believe you're doing this again
01:25Doing what?
01:26Putting yourself in danger because of some lie
01:28Did you know there's already a woman in police protection because of the Riverboys?
01:32I need to get to Summer Bay
01:34Sure
01:34Yeah, we got her
01:36Now she's on her own
01:38Let's see where she leads us
01:40Yo, what's up?
01:43You know anyone called Lacey?
01:44Yeah, what?
01:45Told you
01:45She's giving me the ninth degree out there
01:48Hey
01:48Hey
01:49How'd to see you
01:49Hey
01:50Hey
01:50Hey
01:51Hey
01:51Hey
01:52Hey
01:52Hey
01:54Dana, wait
02:03Don't walk away from me
02:05I'll walk where I want to walk and I'm going to see who I want to see
02:07I am only looking out for you
02:09Oh, are you actually?
02:10Is that what this is?
02:11Or is it you trying to control my life again?
02:13No, I'm not going to stand by and watch you make the same mistake
02:15Well, how is Sonny a mistake?
02:17It's history repeating itself
02:18You're committing to this guy
02:19You're committing?
02:19I don't actually know what you're talking about
02:21We've kissed
02:22That's all
02:23Yeah, yeah
02:23I know you
02:24You've fallen for him already
02:25We're not having this conversation
02:26No, don't
02:27How am I meant to get through to her?
02:32Well, I don't think you'll have much luck going at each other like this
02:35Well, what else am I meant to do?
02:36Well, could you maybe fill me in what's going on before I answer that?
02:40So, um
02:41Tell me
02:42How are you here?
02:43What happened to the safe house?
02:45Uh
02:45I'm not under protection anymore
02:46What? Why?
02:51I withdrew my statement
02:52So you're not testifying against Gage?
02:56No
02:56I can't
02:57I'm too scared
02:59You must think I'm a coward
03:04What?
03:06No one thinks that
03:08Right?
03:10Right
03:10It just means that it will all come down to Theo's testimony
03:15Yeah
03:16I guess I didn't really think about it that way
03:19Hey, all that matters is that you're here and you're safe
03:22Yeah, with all that muscle outside
03:24When did you guys find them anyways?
03:27I made about a sorted amount
03:28Cops gave it the okay though
03:29This place is probably far safer than where I was
03:32Well, you can stay as long as you need
03:34You sure?
03:36Yeah, of course
03:37To be honest, I don't really know where else I'd go
03:40So
03:41You don't know how much I've missed you?
03:45I reckon I do
03:46Are you going to check that thing every 30 seconds, no?
04:01Not probably
04:02Love, I'm sure that Theo is delighted with the delivery
04:06It was a feast
04:07But you know, I would have expected a phone call or a text by now to say thank you
04:11Girl, give him a break
04:13For God's sake, you only just dropped the flippin' thing off
04:16Irene's right
04:18I can't do this anymore
04:20I can't pretend like everything's normal when he's not at home with us
04:23No, I'm cooking and delivering him food
04:25Still no response
04:26I know, I know
04:27I'm as upset about this as you are, okay?
04:30But like you said, Theo's made his choice
04:32Okay, and we agreed to give him space
04:35We're playing the long game
04:37Well, it turns out I don't like the long game
04:39I'm not a fan, I know
04:41That's the only choice we've got right now
04:44I'm trying
04:46No
04:49I know, yeah
04:51How many more times can I go through this with her?
04:57Where is it?
04:58What are you looking for?
04:59She just has no sense when it comes to relationships
05:02And I am the one that is always picking up the pieces
05:04Why are you so sure things won't be different this time?
05:07I am not going to swoop in like I have done in the past
05:10So I'm just not doing it
05:11I've got Archie now to think about
05:12Where is that stupid wrap?
05:16Oh, uh, this one
05:18Yes
05:21How about you just sit down, take a breath
05:25I'll make you some food
05:27And you and Archie can just chill here for a bit, yeah?
05:29Okay
05:29You're welcome
05:30Thank you
05:31I'm just really worried about her
05:35Well, maybe you just have to trust that she's learnt from her past mistakes, you know
05:39I highly doubt it
05:40And it seems like this Sonny has caught up in a serious mess
05:43Wow
05:49This is really good, did you make this?
05:52Nope, his arm chopped it over
05:53Right, well, she probably won't be very happy I'm eating her food
05:57Oh, it doesn't matter what she thinks
05:59I'm not really talking at the moment anyway
06:02Hey, do you really think that Gage is going to let this go if you didn't testify?
06:06Well, look, I've made my choice, so I guess I just have to believe it
06:10And I haven't received any threatening messages this morning, so
06:14And you said the River Boys have gone quiet
06:17Yeah, Cash said they stopped following him
06:19Really?
06:20That's surprising
06:21Yeah, well, maybe they just don't care what happens to Gage anymore
06:26Right, I'm going to head off
06:36I'm going to meet Dana
06:37Oh, wait, hey, is that a good idea?
06:39Yeah, you said it yourself
06:40River Boys have backed off
06:41Yeah, but it's better to be safe than sorry
06:43You're really going to argue with me about hanging out with Dana?
06:48Fair point
06:49Just be careful
06:50Oh, well, I'm an expert at self-preservation
06:53And I'll take one of the big fellas, don't I?
06:59I still feel so surreal I'm here
07:01Yeah, I know
07:02Hey, um
07:04There is something that I, uh, been wanting to do
07:08Since the moment you rocked up
07:10Yeah?
07:12And what's that?
07:13I still feel so surreal
07:56Hey, you.
07:58Hey, what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here.
08:01I've got backup.
08:03Okay. I don't think that's safe.
08:06Nice to see you too.
08:09Sorry. It's very nice to see you.
08:12I'm good, okay? Besides, Lacey showed up and her and Theo have some catching up to do.
08:17Lacey, who's supposed to be under police protection?
08:19That's a long story. Anyway, look, let's focus on you. How are you? Seem a little down.
08:24No good.
08:26It's obvious, isn't it?
08:28Yeah, yeah, it is a little bit. What happened?
08:30Um, my sister happened.
08:34Okay. Talk to me.
08:37Are you good? What is it?
08:42It's the police prosecutor.
08:45Gage's court case has been moved forward tomorrow.
08:49Is that good? Is that bad?
08:51Actually, I don't know.
09:12I missed you so much.
09:14I missed you, too.
09:21I'm going to get up.
09:23Oh, sorry.
09:26Oh!
09:27Oh!
09:32Oh!
09:34Look, what?
09:36What Gage did to you that was my fault?
09:38Mate, I'm still here.
09:40Mate, I'm still here.
09:40I'm fighting fit.
09:43Sort of.
09:45It was my fault that you ended up in that hospital.
09:48I should have stopped him.
09:49Mate, there was no stopping him.
09:50He wanted me to pay, and that was that.
09:53You just made so many bad decisions.
09:57Yeah.
09:58We both did.
10:01That date's all.
10:02Remember when you told me that you wanted us to be together, and I pretended like it wasn't
10:07actually what I wanted?
10:09That was brutal.
10:12I'm really sorry.
10:14I didn't mean any of it.
10:16It doesn't matter.
10:18Well, it matters to me.
10:21Well, I've got a feeling that everything's going to be okay now, anyway.
10:25You've got a feeling?
10:26Yep, yeah.
10:28Okay.
10:29What makes you so confident?
10:31Because I know I love you.
10:37You help me.
10:42I didn't know you were going to talk to Justin.
10:44Well, we might not be together anymore, but we're still family.
10:48If Dana's making the wrong call, I'm going to step in and help.
10:52Dana is the most stubborn person in the world, so you saw.
10:55For yourself, she's not going to listen to me.
11:01Dana.
11:02Dana.
11:03Sorry.
11:04This isn't smart.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:07What do you know about this?
11:08I told him everything.
11:09Look, you guys are into each other, okay?
11:10Cool.
11:10Whatever.
11:12But why take the risk right now?
11:13Look, I know these guys, okay?
11:15If you're on the wrong side of them, they will come for you.
11:18When you have ten of them decide they're not your friends, what's one bodyguard going to do?
11:21The court case is tomorrow.
11:22It's going to be over before we know it.
11:24If you make it.
11:25Stay out of it.
11:26Dana.
11:27You've seen for yourself what the Riverboys are capable of.
11:32As much as it sucks, he's got a point.
11:36It's one more day.
11:37Let's just keep our distance until then.
11:40No?
11:41Okay.
11:41Okay?
11:41Yeah.
11:42Yeah.
11:42I don't want to hear it.
11:50Let me get you a coffee and we can talk about it.
11:52What would we talk about?
11:54Come on.
11:54Leave me alone.
11:59Hey, maybe save your energy.
12:01Theo's going to need it for tomorrow.
12:03What's tomorrow?
12:06The court case.
12:07Since when?
12:08Since the DPP moved it.
12:10No one told me.
12:12I mean, why would they do that?
12:15Well, I spoke to Cash and as soon as the DPP found out Lacey wasn't testifying, they made the call.
12:21They couldn't risk losing another witness.
12:24I thought I'd have more time before I had to be in a room with Gage again.
12:27Oh, no.
12:28It's not ideal.
12:29It's okay.
12:30I'll be with you.
12:31No, no, no.
12:32I don't think that's a good idea.
12:33No, no.
12:33I've already put you in the firing line by not testifying.
12:36At least I can do support you.
12:37Hey.
12:46Hey.
12:47What's your poison?
12:49Um, it's coffee today, actually.
12:52If the brister ever returns.
12:54You sure you don't want something a bit stronger?
12:56Looks like you're having a rough day.
12:58Oh, does it?
13:00You know what I mean?
13:01Yeah, I do.
13:02I am actually having a bit of a rough day.
13:05All the more reason to have a drink with me.
13:07That's okay, I'm good.
13:09Shame.
13:10I reckon we could have had some fun together.
13:12I'm sure we could have.
13:14But I'm seeing someone, so...
13:16Sonny, right?
13:23Your boyfriend better give his mouth a shot.
13:35So you're going to wait down here for Dana to come back and try again?
13:38Yep, that's the plan.
13:42Didn't have to wait long.
13:44I haven't made myself clear enough.
13:47Harper, get back into the gym.
13:49Leave me alone, please.
13:51Hey.
13:53You're out there?
13:54Couldn't be better, mate.
13:58You knew something, mate.
14:06That was something I said hi?
14:10Get out.
14:14Go on.
14:22Okay.
14:23You don't really.
14:24I know you said this is none of my business, but I'm making it my business.
14:41Right.
14:42So much for the River Boys backing off.
14:44Is Dana all right?
14:46Fine, apparently.
14:46But, uh, she's staying with Harper at Tarno's tonight to be safe.
14:50It sounds like Gage is still calling the shots from Ramon.
14:56Yeah.
14:59This guy says he's your uncle.
15:00There you go.
15:01Yeah.
15:03Thanks, mate.
15:05Before you say anything, I am just here to deliver a message and then I'll get out of your hair.
15:09Uh, the police called to say the car's ready to be picked up.
15:16Yeah, yeah.
15:18I'm not sure I want to see that thing again.
15:20Yeah.
15:21Thought you'd say that.
15:22So, um, I've taken it to the garage.
15:24You can sit there until you figure out what you want to do.
15:27All right?
15:27Thanks.
15:29Right on.
15:30Hey, uh, actually, there's a favour I need from you.
15:33Would you be able to grab my suit and bring it over?
15:37Yeah.
15:38Is that for court?
15:39Yeah, it's, uh, it's been moved forward to tomorrow.
15:41Right.
15:42Okay.
15:43Happy to help.
15:44What about you, Sonny?
15:45Uh, I hadn't even thought of it.
15:48Leave it with me, all right?
15:49All right.
15:50Appreciate that.
15:50Thanks, man.
15:51No worries.
15:52I'll, um...
15:54Hey.
15:57What's going on here?
15:58It's a little story.
16:00She's supposed to be under police protection.
16:02I'm not going to testify.
16:03You know how much danger you're putting yourself in just by letting her be...
16:05I said you were here just to deliver a message.
16:08Can you even trust her?
16:09Just go, please.
16:11I...
16:12Mm-hmm.
16:21Listen, we're nearly done here.
16:23Why don't you take off, eh?
16:25Hey.
16:26See Theo?
16:27Yeah.
16:28Ed?
16:29Uh, he's happy I picked up his car.
16:31Obviously, he's got mixed feelings about that.
16:33Yeah, okay.
16:33What are you not telling me?
16:36Gage's court case is tomorrow.
16:38Well, that's a good thing, right?
16:39The sooner this is over, the sooner Theo can put it all behind him and can come home.
16:44Well, that's just the thing.
16:46I don't think he is coming home.
16:48Well, not anytime soon.
16:49What do you mean?
16:51He's up there with Lacey.
16:52He's up there with Lacey.
17:00Are we sure this is really necessary?
17:02I don't think we can be too careful.
17:05He's right.
17:05It's best we stick together.
17:07At least until the court case is underway.
17:08Well, I imagine this is when you'd like to say, I told you so.
17:13Would I do that?
17:15Yes, you absolutely would.
17:18I just don't want to see you in danger.
17:19Look at poor Theo.
17:20These guys aren't mucking around.
17:22Yeah, I know that.
17:22Keeping your distance from Sonny is the right call.
17:25So you two still good to share a pair of his room?
17:30Yeah, I am.
17:30You?
17:31Well, I'll get the best net to sit up in there.
17:33Great, thank you.
17:37Is it going to be weird you staying here, but not in Tyler's room?
17:40I'm trying not to think about it too much, but yeah, it'll be a little bit weird.
17:44Sorry.
17:45No, it's fine.
17:47Tanya and I are getting there, you know, figuring this whole thing out.
17:51I can see that.
17:52No matter what, if I ever need his support, he'll be there, and I'll do the same for him.
18:00One foot in front of the other
18:07One moment, one second
18:09Better when the cards are stacking up against me
18:14Good. Looking good.
18:25Thanks.
18:26Thanks for bringing him over.
18:29You sure you don't want some support today?
18:34No, I just think we should stick to the original plan.
18:41Dana.
18:43Wow, you look nice.
18:44So do you.
18:45Yeah.
18:46Hey.
18:47Oh, hello everybody.
18:49Um, I hope you don't mind.
18:51I've decided to come with you today.
18:53You sure about this?
18:54Yeah, yeah.
18:55About 125% sure.
18:57You know, I don't know how much trouble I can get into in a packed courtroom.
19:00And what did your sister have to say about it?
19:02I think that you've had Theo's backless of Chi time, and somebody should have yours.
19:06Hmm, well, it sounds like she's not taking no for an answer.
19:09It does sound like that, doesn't it?
19:10Oh, you must be Lacey.
19:12Hello.
19:12Hello.
19:13Hello.
19:14Great, well, we all know each other, but we've got to go.
19:17Righto.
19:18Good luck.
19:20Thanks.
19:22Yeah, um, go team.
19:26See you.
19:26Well, aren't you two picture perfect?
19:52No.
19:52This guy is.
19:53Yeah, he's all cuteness and loveliness now, but you should have seen him at 3am.
19:57Oh, not true, eh, Archie boy?
20:00What's Dana up to?
20:02I haven't seen her.
20:04What?
20:05I thought she was still asleep with you.
20:06No, she's not.
20:08Well, then, where's she gone?
20:13She's gone to see Sonny.
20:15No, I get why, uh, I get why your sister's so protective of you, but...
20:22If this is you telling me not to come to court today, I'll tell you, that's wasting your
20:27breath.
20:27I wasn't going to say that, but thanks for the clarification.
20:30Okay.
20:30Sorry.
20:31What were you going to say?
20:33I was going to say that I'm, uh, glad that you're here.
20:37Oh.
20:39Me too.
20:42You sure you're okay to do this?
20:44Yeah.
20:45Once this case is over, we'll never have to think about Gage again.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Yeah.
21:05Got it.
21:06No one testifies.
21:07No one testifies.
21:37What's happening?
21:45Just do what they say.
21:48We warned you to keep your mouth shut.
21:52We're on our own.
21:53Theo just got out of hospital.
21:54How's he going to defend himself?
21:56He won't be in pain for much longer.
21:57We have a possible location.
21:58Send immediate backup.
21:59Coming with you.
22:00No, mate.
22:00I'm not going alone.
22:01Home and away next week on 7.
22:09Home and away next week on 7.
