00:02What have you done to me?
00:03It's all gonna come out now, Darcy.
00:05So at least have the guts to admit the truth.
00:08Tell me what you did to my mother!
00:10You're going to have to look after me again like you did in Europe.
00:13And I will be so glad you are.
00:15What are you and Dad fighting about?
00:17I contacted his biological family.
00:19Dad's over it, okay? It's a no-go zone.
00:22I just got off the phone with your biological father.
00:24He's not a deadbeat.
00:26I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with all this.
00:28Let's go to Sandy Point.
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
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59I need friends
01:01Do your friends
01:07I wrote a letter twelve months ago
01:09To myself I was feeling low
01:11What could it be?
01:13Did I burn it?
01:15Did I throw it in the sea?
01:17I couldn't tell you off the top of my head
01:19What it said? Let me write it for you quickly
01:25What if he is there? What am I going to say?
01:29What if he doesn't want a bar of me?
01:31What if he's angry that I just showed up out of the blue?
01:35Well then at least we'll know if Gretchen was lying
01:37She didn't have much of a reason to lie
01:39You're a cop
01:41Why don't you just treat this like an investigation?
01:43Yeah
01:45Yeah investigation
01:47Home tomorrow
01:49Yes under strict instructions to take it easy
01:53I am on hand for rehab
01:55You okay Jane?
01:57Yeah
01:59I asked to see Darcy and he's agreed
02:03Why didn't you tell me? I would have come with you
02:05Oh darling it's
02:07Prison only allows one visitor at a time so
02:09Does this mean that Darcy's cooperating with the police?
02:11Well I understand that they interviewed that Dr. Halsworth fellow
02:15But well he was no help so
02:19No it's all just down to Darcy
02:21And I need answers
02:23And only he can give them to me
02:25Will you be going to see him?
02:29We could try tomorrow when we check you out
02:31No
02:33No no you go
02:37I never want to see Darcy again
02:49Right this is it
02:53How are you feeling?
02:57Honestly
02:59Part of me just wants to turn around and go home
03:03Oh
03:05I think that's Gretchen
03:07Yeah I recognise her from the photos
03:09Must be Stephen
03:15Well
03:17It's now or never
03:25Are you happy with the fenders Dad?
03:27Dad?
03:33Dad?
03:45Hi there
03:48I'm sorry to bother you
03:52I'm Andrew
03:53Andrew
03:59I think I'm your son
04:00I think I'm your son
04:02No
04:03No
04:05No
04:09No
04:10No
04:11No
04:13No
04:14No
04:15No
04:16No
04:17No
04:18No
04:19No
04:20No
04:21I'm responsible for Amanda's death.
04:26I'm not going to shy away from that.
04:32So what happened that day?
04:36I was afraid that you would investigate her finances
04:39and find out what I'd done.
04:44So you lured her to the Dandenong's?
04:51My intentions weren't good.
04:57But when we got there, things changed.
05:02She started talking about you.
05:04I've got to be with Jane and Nicolette and Byron
05:07and my great granddaughter.
05:09What I was planning, I realised I couldn't go through with it.
05:13Yes, yes you do.
05:16Let's get you home.
05:17Jane can bring you back another time.
05:19I'll call you a car.
05:23I couldn't believe I'd let things go so far.
05:25Come away from that ledge.
05:27She was right behind me.
05:29I thought she was safe.
05:34How did my mother die, Darcy?
05:36I looked over into the ravine and saw her down there.
05:49Climbed down.
05:53Checked her pulse.
05:55She was gone.
05:56You robbed me of my mother.
05:57And she was so angry with me before she died.
06:01No.
06:02No.
06:03No, she wasn't.
06:04She wasn't.
06:05She wasn't.
06:06She wasn't.
06:07Just a thousand steps mean anything to you.
06:12But there was this moment there.
06:13She thought I was you.
06:14And she started apologising.
06:15She said, do you remember the day we climbed a thousand steps?
06:16You were just a little girl.
06:17You were just a little girl.
06:18I promise to hold your hand and never let it go.
06:25No, no, give her sound, chilly, and just so they felt it.
06:27And you said to her what happened to me.
06:31She thought I was you.
06:33And she started apologizing.
06:35She said,
06:37Do you remember the day we climbed a thousand steps?
06:41You were just a little girl.
06:44I promised to hold your hand and never let it go.
06:50But I did let it go, didn't I?
06:55Do you remember that day?
07:00She loved you, Gay.
07:05She always loved you.
07:07She never stopped loving you.
07:13Barbara always wanted to find you,
07:15but we didn't want to make the first move.
07:18We felt the decision should be yours.
07:23I have to say,
07:24it's not what I expected.
07:30He means you're not what I led his wife to believe.
07:34Sorry?
07:35Dad, Andrew's wife, Wendy,
07:37contacted me over a week ago.
07:40And I was worried it would set you back.
07:42So I said some things that weren't true.
07:44I hope you can forgive me.
07:49Set him back?
07:51What do you mean?
07:53The big C?
07:54It's in my lungs.
07:58I was diagnosed a few months ago.
08:01It was a terrible blow after mum
08:03and I just didn't want him to be under any more stress.
08:06I'm sorry.
08:08I'm sorry I misled your wife too,
08:10but at the time,
08:11things weren't looking good.
08:13I get it.
08:15You're just being protective.
08:16You said at the time,
08:21something changed.
08:25Dad got good news yesterday.
08:26I was bonding well to chemo.
08:29Hey, that's fantastic.
08:31So this is two very good days in a row.
08:34Is that your daughter?
08:41Oh, um,
08:42no, that's actually my daughter's best friend.
08:45It's a long story.
08:47She was instrumental in getting me here today.
08:50Well, don't leave her over there.
08:51Invite her on board.
08:52Then we're going to have a good long chat.
08:57Well, what can I tell you?
08:59I had great parents.
09:01Great childhood.
09:02That's all I ever wanted for you.
09:06I wasn't the best student, no.
09:08I didn't mind that in the academy.
09:10The police academy?
09:12Yeah, I had a few placements
09:14before I ended up in Aronsborough.
09:16Ever since then, it's been home.
09:18Everyone's in the family then.
09:20Serving the community.
09:23Well, I was here to join the force
09:24or become the next Ringo star.
09:26You play the drums.
09:28I was in the Navy band.
09:31Boom, boom.
09:32I'm kidding.
09:35I like to think I've got a little bit of talent,
09:38but my wife doesn't think so.
09:41Wendy, did you say?
09:43Yeah.
09:44Wife, Wendy, daughter...
09:48Sadie.
09:48Sadie.
09:49Your best friend.
09:50Yeah, she's the best.
09:52Hey.
09:54You okay?
09:55Dad.
09:55I'm all right.
10:03Oh, Chris.
10:06Hey, Hall, it's...
10:07It's getting late.
10:08We probably should...
10:09on the road.
10:10Yeah, yeah, we should.
10:12Don't go.
10:13Not just you.
10:15Yeah, okay.
10:16I'll take any chance I can get
10:18to get to know you better.
10:20And there'll be more.
10:21I thought this day would never come.
10:25But it has.
10:29Yeah, we've found each other now.
10:33It's all about us.
10:34I just can't get over how well that went.
10:41It was meant to be.
10:42And he's a nice guy.
10:45Gretchen's lovely.
10:46I mean, even though she gave us the bums, dear.
10:48Yeah, we could tell her heart was in the right place.
10:50Yeah.
10:52Just...
10:53They seem like such a...
10:55loving family.
10:57They're your family.
11:01Holly...
11:02None of this would have happened
11:04if you didn't stick your nose in.
11:07Well, I'm really happy for you.
11:10Yeah, I'm happy for me too.
11:20And nobody else could have known that story?
11:23No.
11:24Only Mum.
11:26I remember it so clearly.
11:28I was climbing the thousand steps and...
11:32And that she let go of my hand.
11:34And she was regretting it.
11:36Even after all these years.
11:38Yeah.
11:41Apparently.
11:47Hey.
11:48Nana loved you.
11:50If you take anything from today, take that.
11:52Yeah.
11:53Yeah, no, I...
11:54I believe it.
11:55I...
11:56I won't bring her back, but...
11:58No, I...
11:59I believe it.
12:02What about everything else that Darcy said?
12:05Well, he seemed genuine.
12:06I...
12:07I guess we'll never truly know.
12:12Oh, Jane, I forgot to tell you.
12:14The school's been trying to get in touch with you.
12:15On the home phone.
12:16Oh.
12:17Oh, I forgot to look at my phone.
12:19Oh.
12:20Messages.
12:23Sorry.
12:23Oh.
12:28Rachel.
12:30One of my...
12:30My junior teachers.
12:32She needs a carer's leave.
12:34Effective immediately.
12:36How long for?
12:39Oh, definitely.
12:41Poor thing.
12:42Well, at least you don't have to look far to find a replacement.
12:50That was such a good day.
12:51You know what?
12:58This deserves a celebration.
12:59Take the next left.
13:01What, into the city?
13:02Mm-hmm.
13:02There's this place I've been meaning to try at the V-Bar.
13:06Come on, reviews say it's perfect for a guy that just met his biological father.
13:11Put your indicator on.
13:12It's non-negotiable.
13:13Okay.
13:13Okay.
13:17To your new family.
13:19To my new family.
13:20So, are you going to tell your parents that you found Stephen?
13:31Yeah.
13:32When they get back from their cruise, it's a pretty big conversation.
13:35I was just thinking how our upbringing has shaped who we are.
13:42What if I was raised in Sandy Point?
13:44I love my dad.
13:47And I love my mum.
13:49Despite her hot mess-ness.
13:51But, what if I was raised by a different family?
13:55Well, I don't think we'd be the people we are today.
13:59Might not be such a train wreck.
14:01Oh, you know.
14:05Hmm.
14:09Tell me more about your life, Holly Hoyland.
14:13Really?
14:14Yeah.
14:15I mean, you were born and raised in London.
14:19Trips back here.
14:21I mean, weren't you an exchange student once?
14:23Yeah.
14:24Yeah, I was.
14:26In China.
14:27Oh.
14:29And didn't you want to be a doctor?
14:31Yes.
14:32Yeah.
14:34Go on, please.
14:36I mean, we've been talking about me all day.
14:37I want to hear all about you.
14:43So, Darcy's agreed to see me tomorrow.
14:46Hopefully, he'll answer my questions, too.
14:50How are we supposed to believe that he's sorry for what he did?
14:53Is there even a scrap of decency in him?
14:56I think he's just sorry because he got caught.
14:59Don't you?
15:03I've changed my mind.
15:05I want to see him.
15:08So, hang on.
15:09You said what to Susan?
15:10Fight me.
15:11I'll never forget it.
15:14And how did she respond?
15:16Oh, she rose to the challenge, of course.
15:18She had to win me over, which she did, obviously.
15:23Jeez, Junior Hoyland.
15:24A force to be reckoned with.
15:26Yeah.
15:27I've had no choice but to be.
15:30Well, I think you turned out pretty well, considering.
15:35Another?
15:35Uh, no.
15:36I'm going to stick to the waters now.
15:39But go on, you have another one.
15:40No, I'll be good to drive.
15:42Cool.
15:43I'm glad Carl's out of the hospital.
16:03Dusty, he almost died.
16:05Susan, that was never my intention.
16:08Never.
16:10I just needed to buy more time.
16:13By almost killing him?
16:15I came to Erinsborough with the best intentions.
16:19You fed Carl's addiction, and you used it to manipulate him.
16:25I wanted to help you, Carl.
16:27It felt good that you needed me.
16:29I shouldn't have.
16:30I should have been honest with Susan from the start.
16:34Having your support, your friendship, it meant the world to me.
16:39But then, somewhere along the way, I just fell into old habits.
16:44Well, I couldn't get investors for my health center, and Chelsea dumped me, and then it was Carl.
16:51Your friend of two weeks dumped you?
16:54That's your justification for causing all this pain?
16:57No, no, no.
16:57One bad decision just snowballed into another.
17:00But every time I crossed the line, there was no turning back.
17:03I never, ever wanted to hurt you.
17:06Even when you were in the hospital, I didn't want you to die.
17:10I just had to get away.
17:13I had this crazy idea that I had a future with Tess.
17:18But you had to ruin that for me, didn't you?
17:21None of this excuses what you did.
17:24I know.
17:26I'll take whatever consequences come my way.
17:28Whatever consequences there are, they won't be enough.
17:33Dossie, you are a manipulative and dangerous man.
17:37Now, whatever contrition you might be feeling, it's too late.
17:42You were threatening everything I was working for.
17:46I had to do something.
17:48You didn't even have the guts to confess your addiction to your own wife.
17:52You are weak, and I use that weakness to my advantage.
17:56I'm not weak.
17:57You're not the man I used to know.
18:00Have a think about how all this started, Carl.
18:02You, racing around Italy on your little motorbike, taking crazy risks.
18:06Why?
18:07What, to feel young again?
18:12You're a pathetic old man.
18:16Yeah.
18:16Time catches up with all of us, Carl.
18:20You've given your life to medicine.
18:23But I think it's time to call it a day.
18:25Oh, set my alarm early.
18:45I wanted to beat peak hour.
18:48Well, you are here now.
18:51Yeah, but I barely slept.
18:53Just can't believe that I am interviewing for a job at Erinsborough High.
18:57Take a deep breath.
18:58Well, this is the break that I've been waiting for.
19:03Oh, thanks.
19:04And hello.
19:07Look, you are the perfect person for this job, and there you go, see that straight away.
19:13Sorry I didn't text after I left.
19:16It's fine.
19:16I just wanted you to have a good time.
19:17And I know we need to talk, and we will.
19:24You look different.
19:26What did I miss?
19:29Well, um, a lot has happened in the last 24 hours.
19:36So Holly came over right after you left yesterday.
19:40Okay.
19:41She found out some new information about Stephen Brooke.
19:47Long story short, we drove all the way to Sandy Point.
19:53Gretchen lied.
19:55Stephen, he's a good guy.
19:58He did want to meet me.
20:00When I met my father.
20:09Well, I hope you got some satisfaction venting your anger.
20:12Yeah, Dad.
20:13You better have let him have it.
20:14As hard as it is, we all need to try to move on.
20:18Yes, and I think your mum would want that too.
20:21Yeah.
20:23All right.
20:23I must get to school.
20:25Okay.
20:26Yeah, I've got to go too.
20:26Sorry.
20:27See you guys soon.
20:28See you all later.
20:29I've got to go as well.
20:30Okay, bye, darling.
20:31See you in a bit.
20:31So, when do you think you might feel like coming back to work?
20:39I'm suspended.
20:41Yeah, but that's not going to stand now that we know that Darcy was switching the medication,
20:46plus everything else he did.
20:48Teresa said she's happy for you to come back as soon as you feel well.
20:51I can't see myself coming back any time, sir.
20:52Well, obviously it's sad that Stephen is ill, but hey, he's a good person and so is Gretchen.
21:12Look, I wish that you were there with me.
21:14I really do, but it happened so fast.
21:20You're not going to say anything.
21:23I'm happy that you found Stephen.
21:27Certainly don't seem happy.
21:31You were furious when I contacted Gretchen, and then Holly does the same thing, and she is the hero?
21:37Wendy, I...
21:39No, no, how do you think that makes me feel?
21:44Hi.
21:47Hi, um...
21:48I was just looking for Sadie.
21:51Oh, she's in the shower.
21:53Oh, she should be out soon.
21:56And, um, thank you for getting to the real truth about Stephen.
22:00Yeah, of course.
22:02It was a pretty big day.
22:04Oh, what time did you get home?
22:08Uh, we got home before dark, yeah?
22:11Yeah.
22:13Oh.
22:14Well, I, um, better go prepare for my interview tomorrow.
22:19Okay.
22:27Why did you lie?
22:30Um...
22:34Well, I...
22:35She wanted to meet my family with me.
22:37And, you know, if I said that we went out and celebrated after, she'd feel way worse.
22:43Yeah.
22:51Coming up on Neighbours.
22:53Dad told me about your road trip to Sandy Point yesterday.
22:56How mad are you?
22:56You, uh, drop that.
22:59Nice.
23:00Lucky night at the casino.
23:02Maxie!
23:03Hey, so nice.
23:04That's a lot of clothes for a couple of nights, then.
23:07There you go.
23:11Oh, my God.
23:13I don't know.
23:13Thanks for her.
23:16Bye.
23:17You're welcome.
