00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:10Eden Fowler, will you marry me?
00:12Yes, yes.
00:18Gage's court case has been to move forward tomorrow.
00:21Have a drink with me?
00:22I'm seeing someone, so...
00:24Sonny, right?
00:25Your boyfriend better give his mouth shut.
00:27Hey, you alright there?
00:30Got something I said hi?
00:32Are you sure this is really necessary?
00:34It's best we stick together at least until the court case is underway.
00:37What's Dana up to?
00:38I thought she was still asleep with you?
00:39No, she's not.
00:41Well then when's she gone?
00:42If this is you telling me not to come to court today,
00:45I'll tell ya, that's wasting your breath.
00:47I was gonna say that I'm glad that you're here.
00:50Oh.
00:52Me too.
00:53You sure you're okay to do this?
00:54Once this case is over, we'll never have to think about Gage again.
00:58Got it.
01:00No one testifies.
01:09No, she's not answering my calls either.
01:11Great.
01:12Well if she's going to court, the phone's probably on silent, right?
01:15This is just classic Dana.
01:17Avoidance is one of her favourite activities.
01:19She just doesn't want to hear what I have to say.
01:21I guess she's not worried about the River Boys anymore then.
01:23Well she should be, cause this saga isn't over and she'll definitely still be on their radar.
01:27Well you know the courthouse will be crawling with the cops.
01:30It'll be safe there.
01:31Hey, thanks for looking out for her last night.
01:35Well, she clearly didn't listen.
01:37Oh, welcome to my world.
01:39Hopefully I've better luck giving you advice when the time comes, eh boy?
01:42Yeah, of course.
01:43Cause you'll be perfect.
01:44Hey, you know Cash will be at the trial.
01:46Maybe you can call up and ask about Dana.
01:48Nah, he has enough to worry about.
01:50It's fine.
01:51You better get to work.
01:53Alright, well you let me know if you hear anything.
01:55Shhh.
01:56Alright, see ya boy.
01:57Bye.
01:58Bye.
02:01Oh.
02:05Remy and Kirby don't miss a thing.
02:07Oh, this is why we love them.
02:09Oh, cute.
02:10Oh, nice touch.
02:11Oh.
02:12Hey.
02:14Thanks for running away with me.
02:16I need time.
02:17It was perfect.
02:19The party, surprise guests.
02:21The proposal?
02:22Yeah, apart from my favourite.
02:23Yeah? Worth waiting for?
02:25You are absolutely worth waiting for.
02:28Sorry I had to cut it short.
02:30I blame the legal system.
02:32Yeah.
02:33It was so inconvenient.
02:34Except I'm sort of the one who was pushing to have the court case fast track.
02:36Yeah, I was being nice.
02:37Yeah.
02:38Yeah.
02:40I don't want to leave.
02:41I don't want you to leave.
02:42I have to leave though.
02:43I've got to get my uniform on for work.
02:44How long does it take you to put on your uniform?
02:47You know, you can spare like half an hour, can't you?
02:51Yeah.
02:54Yeah.
02:56Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to court?
02:58It's not happening.
03:00We knew it was a long shot.
03:02I was happy I brought over the suit.
03:04He didn't want anything more than that.
03:06You think he'd want us support at a time like this?
03:09It was his choice.
03:10Was it?
03:11Or did Lacey get in his ear?
03:12Laying blame is not going to get us anywhere, remember?
03:15I made that mistake with Sonny.
03:16Yep.
03:17Yep.
03:18I know.
03:19I need to stay positive.
03:20Exactly.
03:21Today's the day that Theo gets justice.
03:23After that, we can put all of this behind us.
03:25Court case happening today?
03:27Yeah.
03:28Cash and Needham must be back.
03:29If I hurry, I might just catch him.
03:31Don't you think it's too soon to be talking about wedding plans?
03:34No, we're talking about the single biggest day of their life.
03:36It's never too early to be prepared.
03:45I really do have to go.
03:46You know, that's actually okay because we have the rest of our lives together.
03:49Yeah, we do.
03:50Mm-hmm.
03:51Maybe just, like, one more.
03:53One more?
03:54One more.
03:57Hi, Amy.
03:58You in there?
04:04Hey.
04:07Door's open.
04:08Ah.
04:09Well, I'm glad you were here, though, but I thought you'd be on the way to court.
04:11Yeah, sorry about that.
04:12Something came up.
04:16Hi, John.
04:17Hi.
04:18And hi to you, too.
04:19Well, I guess this says it all, eh?
04:21Yeah.
04:22I tell you, I was tickled pink when I heard the news.
04:25I'm just so happy for the both of you.
04:27Thanks, mate.
04:28That's really sweet.
04:29And since we're all here, it might be a good time to start planning that wedding.
04:33What do you think?
04:34Yeah, you know what?
04:35It's such a shame, but I can't stay and chat.
04:36I've got to get to work.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Oh, yeah.
04:39That is a shame.
04:40Having said that, Eden's got the whole day off completely clear.
04:42You're free, right?
04:43Great!
04:44We can make a day of it.
04:45Yeah, we'll do.
04:49Before you get too excited, we haven't set a date yet, so...
04:55At least tell me about your trip, and the engagement party, and the proposal.
05:01You...
05:02You really want to hear about that?
05:05Special moments like these don't come often enough.
05:09And I'm still in cash.
05:10Come on, I want to hear all of it.
05:12All right, great work today, guys.
05:13I'll see you next time.
05:18Hey.
05:19We were just about to head up to Salt, if you want to join.
05:21Oh, yeah.
05:22I'll drop the stuff off and I'll tag along.
05:23Okay.
05:24Any word from Dana?
05:25Nope.
05:26She's consistent.
05:27I'll give her that.
05:28Hello.
05:29Hey.
05:30I hear congratulations are in order.
05:31Ah, thank you.
05:32Went well?
05:33Yeah, it went really well.
05:34We all went to plan.
05:35Hey, since we ran into you, can I ask you a favour?
05:37Yeah, sure.
05:38At court today, if you see Dana, can you ask her to call me?
05:41Uh...
05:42Okay.
05:43Why would I see Dana at court?
05:44Ah, you missed a new development.
05:45She and Sunny are seeing each other.
05:47Okay.
05:48Do you realise that Sunny's not the safest person to be around right now?
05:51Yeah, I'm aware and she's been warned many times.
05:53Yeah, she's already had to run with the river boys.
05:55They tried using her to get to Sunny.
05:57That doesn't make sense.
05:58Sunny's gone to Gran and Bree's house and they've only just gotten together.
06:01Then how do the boys know?
06:03Please tell me I have nothing to worry about.
06:05Look, Sunny and Theo are getting a ride in with security.
06:07I'm just going to check with them.
06:08Okay?
06:11G'day.
06:12My name is Senior Constable Cash Newman from Yabby Creek Station.
06:14What's your status?
06:17Right, and do you have an additional passenger with you?
06:18One Dana Matheson?
06:21She's fine.
06:22She's fine.
06:23She's fine.
06:24Okay, great.
06:25Thanks mate.
06:26I'll see you at court.
06:27Copy that.
06:28See you there.
06:31Sounds like someone's keen on knowing where you are.
06:33Great.
06:34She has spies tracking me.
06:37She's resourceful.
06:38I don't give her that much.
06:39No.
06:40Can you be a bit careful?
06:41She's just gotten out of hospital.
06:42What the hell?
06:43Stay here.
06:44We'll sort her out.
06:45One two three.
06:46One two three.
07:02Guys, do you reckon they need a hand?
07:21I don't think you'll be much help.
07:22Yeah, no, I think we should just stay put, like they said.
07:28I also don't think they can do it on their own.
07:29All right, I'll go.
07:30No, no, no, stay in the car.
07:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:01Go, go, go, Sonny, go.
08:03Go, go, go, get us out of here.
08:04Go, go, go, go.
08:04Go, go, go, go.
08:05Go!
08:05Go, go, go, go, go.
08:09Go, go, go, go.
08:10Go, go, go, go, go.
08:13Oh, shit.
08:29We warned you to get your mouth shut.
08:31What, so did he go down on one knee and everything?
08:39Oh, the whole shebang, it could not have been more beautiful.
08:44Gary must have been very proud.
08:45Yeah, it was really good to see him so happy.
08:48You know, he's been through a lot.
08:50So have you and Cash?
08:51You've always been there for us.
08:54No matter how bad things got, you never lost hope.
08:58It was hard seeing you guys go through the tough stuff.
09:02But I knew you belonged together.
09:04I've almost forgiven Cash for not inviting me to this proposal.
09:08Here she is, the bride-to-be.
09:11Congrats on the engagement.
09:13Well, everyone's very happy for you and Cash.
09:16Guess the court case cut short to fun.
09:18Ah, I don't mind.
09:20The sooner it's over, the better it'll be for Sonny and Theo.
09:22And for you, Pear, as well.
09:34This is all about stopping them from testifying, right?
09:37That's what that guy said.
09:38That was the message he wanted me to give Sonny, is to keep his mouth shut.
09:40That'd be good advice right now.
09:43What are they going to do?
09:43I don't know.
09:44Just do what they say.
09:46Give us your phones.
09:51You two, hand it over.
09:52I don't have a phone.
09:52I'm not mucking her.
09:53And neither am I.
09:55The cops took it when I was at the safe house.
09:58Search me if you want.
09:59Can we get out of here?
10:01And go your walk home.
10:08Now what?
10:31We need to head to town.
10:33No, we can't head to town.
10:34It's going to take so long.
10:35We need to find people.
10:36We need to tell them what's happened.
10:37Okay, no, we're meant to do that.
10:39Hopefully someone will show up and we can ask for help.
10:42Let's just start walking.
10:43I just wish one of us could have been with him today.
10:54He knows we got his back.
10:55Does he?
10:56Because the last conversation I had with him wasn't exactly a truce.
10:59That's why I wanted you to go.
11:01Yes, but I didn't.
11:03And I don't really want to have that argument with you.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:07I'm just worried about today.
11:09Me too.
11:11For the cups.
11:12For the coffee cup.
11:12Sounds like you got your hands full there, mate.
11:18Anything I can do to help?
11:20Ah, thanks, but no.
11:22It's the court case today.
11:24Theo's going to testify.
11:26Some of us are a bit stressed.
11:28Well, that's understandable.
11:30Let's just hope the judge throws the book at the mongrels, eh?
11:33Yeah, I'll drink to that.
11:35Just needed a cuddle.
11:36Mmm.
11:36I think he's picking up on his mum's stress.
11:41Well, you heard what Cash said.
11:42There's nothing to worry about.
11:43Oh, I know.
11:45But I won't be able to relax until Dana's back from court.
11:48Hello.
11:50Hey.
11:50Hey.
11:51Soapin would run into you.
11:52Congrats.
11:52Thanks.
11:53Hello there, little guy.
11:56I've heard so much about you.
11:59We saw Cash earlier.
12:00He's pretty stuck with the trip.
12:02Your engagement party sounded amazing.
12:04Yeah, it was really special.
12:06Oh.
12:07You used to say you weren't a wedding person.
12:09I know.
12:09I know.
12:10I'm so uncool now.
12:11But I didn't care.
12:12No, I think it's romantic.
12:14For a while there, I thought I'd lost him forever.
12:17But maybe it was blind luck.
12:21I don't know.
12:21Somehow we found our way back.
12:24I think you deserve each other.
12:30Who's that?
12:31It's Cash.
12:34Hey, what's up?
12:38Wait, what?
12:40Where are they?
12:43But they're okay?
12:46Okay.
12:46Okay.
12:47Yeah.
12:47Thanks for the last night.
12:49What's going on?
12:50Is Dana okay?
12:51She's stranded halfway to Reefdom Lake.
12:53Something to do with an ambush.
12:54Cash is going to get her now.
12:55What?
12:56I'll go see what's going on.
12:57Okay, well, I'll come with you.
12:58No, no.
12:58You stay here without you.
12:59I'll stay with them.
13:08Hey, do you hear?
13:12Are you guys hurt?
13:17No, no, no.
13:17They took Sunny and Theo.
13:19And the security guards, too.
13:20What happened?
13:21The boys set up a roadblock.
13:22We didn't sound a chance.
13:23Did you identify anyone?
13:24Did you see a face?
13:24No, they were masked.
13:26But I did see a tat.
13:27They dragged the security guards into their cars, and they made us get out, and then they
13:32just drove off.
13:33It's okay.
13:34Did you see what direction they went?
13:35That way, but I don't know where.
13:36Okay, we can work that out.
13:37Let's just get back to the station, and we can start sorting this out.
13:40Okay?
13:43Tony.
13:44Hey.
13:45I'm so sorry.
13:47It's okay.
13:47It's okay.
13:48All right, guys.
13:49Let's just get back to the station.
13:50I can take your statements, or we can get the ball rolling.
13:51No, no, no.
13:51We don't have time for statements.
13:52I planted my phone in the van.
13:54We can use it to track them, but we need to hurry.
13:57Great work.
13:58All right, let's go.
13:59We can start the trace on the way.
14:00Come on, hop in.
14:02You better go.
14:02You better go.
14:17No, no, no.
14:17No, we're searching for them now.
14:19What I need you to do is get a hold of the magistrate and push for a delay.
14:22Okay.
14:25I'm going to keep in touch.
14:26What's happening with the phone trace?
14:29Nothing right now.
14:30Why not?
14:31Because the van could be somewhere isolated, out of reception.
14:34The tech boys are going to work on that.
14:35In the meantime, can you think of anywhere where they would have taken the guys?
14:40No.
14:40No?
14:41We know the river boys got hideouts all over the place.
14:42Yeah, but I don't know where they are.
14:45Okay.
14:45All right.
14:45Well, let's just think.
14:46Let's just think.
14:46It could be just a random conversation you've had about them needing to lay low.
14:49No, they've never talked about any of that stuff with me.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:54No, no, no.
14:55It's okay.
14:56Hey, you took a huge risk finding the phone in that car.
14:59It was smart.
15:00Fat lot of good that's done.
15:02They're not going to muck around.
15:04They're going to make sure that no one can testify against Cage.
15:09Here's a tip.
15:10Don't take any dating advice from your Auntie Dana.
15:13You know, Sonny's not a bad person.
15:18Maybe not, but he's mixed with bad people.
15:21I tried to call him and Theo.
15:23No luck.
15:24Not that I expected them to answer.
15:26What about Cash?
15:27He might have an update.
15:28He's not answering either.
15:30And the cop at the station said that he was tied up with witnesses.
15:35Look who I found.
15:36You are going to be the death of me.
15:38No, no, I'm sorry.
15:39Are you okay?
15:40Did they hurt you?
15:41No.
15:42They took Sonny and Theo.
15:43Lexi's still with Cash, trying to track them down.
15:45Yeah, and they have to do that really fast.
15:47I don't know what they're going to do to Theo, but he just left the hospital.
15:50Okay.
15:50Okay.
15:51Cash will find them.
15:52Has anyone told Leah and Justin what's going on?
15:55Not that I know of.
15:56I'll do it.
16:00Do you think Cash is going to give us regular updates on how the court case is going?
16:04Probably not.
16:05The judge has got to throw the book at that thug.
16:08And after that, maybe Theo will reconsider moving back in with you guys.
16:13Hopefully.
16:14Oh, here she is.
16:15Now, I hope you picked a day for this wedding.
16:17We could use a bit of good news around here.
16:19What's the matter?
16:19I need to talk to Leah and Justin.
16:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
16:23I hope everything's all right.
16:24What's wrong?
16:25Please tell me they haven't let Gage go.
16:27No, not yet, anyway.
16:29What does that mean?
16:31Sonny and Theo, they didn't make it to court.
16:34There was an ambush on the road.
16:36River boys?
16:37Yeah.
16:38Damn it.
16:39Where are they?
16:40Are they hurt?
16:41They're missing.
16:42But Lacey is helping Cash try to find them.
16:44Of course she had something to do with it.
16:45That doesn't really matter right now.
16:47Theo just got out of hospital.
16:48He can barely walk.
16:49How's he going to defend himself?
16:52No, no, not yet.
16:54But we do have a tech team working on the phone, Trace.
16:56They just haven't pinpointed the location yet.
16:59Okay, I understand.
17:00I understand.
17:00I'll keep in touch.
17:05They're not going to delay the trial, are they?
17:07They're still working on the magistrate.
17:09Why can't that even be a question?
17:10Someone just doesn't show up and the court ignores it.
17:12It happens all the time, actually.
17:14Witnesses get nervous.
17:15They don't want to face the person.
17:17I mean, it happened with you, right?
17:19Well, yeah, I got sick of threats.
17:21I understand.
17:22Believe it or not, there has been times in the past where the police have let me down.
17:27Sorry to hear that.
17:27Anyways, that is not what is happening.
17:31Theo and Sonny were on their way to court.
17:32Yeah, well, the magistrate seems to believe she's got enough to go on from just the written statements.
17:36What are the chances of them putting Gage away based on written statements?
17:41You think he's going to walk, don't you?
17:43You think he's going to walk, don't you?
18:13Do you?
18:18My magistrate said no.
18:33Yeah.
18:34They're going to proceed with the evidence they've got.
18:37Is it too late for me to testify?
18:40Well, I can't answer that, but I can make a phone call.
18:42Do it.
19:12It's okay, it's okay, it's me, it's sunny.
19:37Where did you go?
19:38I'm gonna find out where we are.
19:41Did you see anything on the way in?
19:43Yeah.
19:44They put a blindfold over me.
19:46Yeah, I didn't see them.
19:48Is there any sign on the security guards?
19:50No, that's the way they took them.
19:53I need my cane killers, they're in my suit.
19:56Yeah.
19:57How bad is it?
20:03It's not as bad as it was when it first happened, but it's worse than it was a few hours ago.
20:18I heard you yelling before.
20:19What did they do?
20:20Just a few punches to remind me where the snitches are.
20:21I'm sorry, dude.
20:22No, I'm good.
20:23We should probably ration that.
20:24And your pills as well.
20:25I don't know how long we'll be out here for.
20:26I'd say that.
20:27What do you reckon, we're driving out here for an hour or so?
20:28Even then, I don't know where the main road is.

20:30We don't know how long we'll be out here for.
20:31I'd say that.
20:32What do you reckon, we're driving out here for an hour or so?
20:33Even then, I don't know where the main road is.
20:35We don't know if they'll stay to walk out of here.
20:37We don't know how long we'll be out here for.

20:40I'd say that.

20:44Even then, I don't know where the main road is.
20:47We don't know if they'll stay to walk out of here.
20:50It's all on our own, man.
20:52I don't know.
20:53We've got to stay put.
20:54Because will they find us, man?
20:56If they find us.
20:58Move it, will ya?
21:07I'm not mucking around with these clowns.
21:09They don't just engage in prison and get away with it.
21:11Go and find somewhere that has reception.
21:13I'll be fine, go.
21:16Beautiful to all units.
21:17We have a possible location on the missing men.
21:19Send immediate backup.
21:20Tane, what do you think you're doing?
21:22I'm playing with you.
21:23No, mate, absolutely not.
21:24You're not going alone.
