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
04:01I'm responsible for Amanda's death.
04:26I'm not going to shy away from that.
04:31So what happened that day?
04:36I was afraid that you would investigate her finances
04:40and find out what I'd done.
04:44So you lured her to the Dandenong's?
04:50My intention's fine. Good.
04:56But when we got there, things changed.
05:01She 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.
05:26Come away from that ledge.
05:28She was right behind me.
05:30I thought she was safe.
05:32How did my mother die, Darcy?
05:47I looked over into the ravine and saw her down there.
05:53Climbed down.
05:58Checked her pulse.
06:02She was gone.
06:06You robbed me of my mother.
06:09And she was so angry with me before she died.
06:14No.
06:15No, she wasn't.
06:18She wasn't.
06:23Does a thousand steps mean anything to you?
06:27But there was this moment there.
06:30She thought I was you.
06:33And she started apologising.
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?
07:01She loved you, Gay.
07:05She always loved you.
07:07She never stopped loving you.
07:11Barbara 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...
07:27It'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, contacted 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?
07:55It's in my lungs.
07:56I was diagnosed a few months ago.
08:00It was a terrible blow after mum and I just didn't want him to be under any more stress.
08:05I'm sorry.
08:07I'm sorry I misled your wife too, but at the time things weren't looking good.
08:13I get it.
08:15You're just being protective.
08:19You said at the time something changed.
08:25Dad got good news yesterday.
08:27I'm responding well to chemo.
08:29Hey, that's fantastic.
08:31So this is two very good days in a row.
08:34Is that your daughter?
08:40Oh, um, no, that's actually my daughter's best friend.
08:46It's a long story.
08:48She was instrumental in getting me here today.
08:50Why don't we leave her over there and invite her on board?
08:52Then we can have a good long chat.
08:58Well, what can I tell you?
09:00I had great parents.
09:01Great childhood.
09:03That's all I ever wanted for you.
09:06I wasn't the best student though.
09:08They didn't mind that in the academy.
09:11The police academy?
09:13Yeah, I had a few placements before I ended up in Aaron's Borough.
09:16Ever since then it's been home.
09:18Everyone's in the family then.
09:20Serving the community.
09:22Well, I was here to join the force or become the next Ringo Starr.
09:26You play the drums.
09:28I was in the Navy band.
09:29I was in the Navy band.
09:35Well, I like to think I got a little bit of talent, but my wife doesn't think so.
09:41Wendy, did you say?
09:43Yeah.
09:45Wife, Wendy, daughter.
09:48Sadie.
09:49Your best friend.
09:50Yeah.
09:51She's the best.
09:53Hey.
09:54You okay?
09:55Dad.
09:58I'm all right.
09:59I'm all right.
10:00I'm all right.
10:01I'm all right.
10:02I'm all right.
10:04Oh, Chris.
10:06Hey, Holl, it's...
10:08It's getting late.
10:09We probably should go right.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Yeah, we should.
10:14Don't go.
10:15Not just you.
10:16Yeah, okay.
10:18I'll take any chance I can get to get to know you better.
10:20And there'll be more.
10:22I thought this day would never come.
10:25But it has.
10:29Yeah, we've found each other now.
10:33That's all that matters.
10:34Nice.
10:40I just can't get over how well that went.
10:41It was meant to be.
10:43And 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...
11:04None of this would have happened if you didn't stick your nose in.
11:08Well, 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.
11:25Only Mum.
11:27I remember it so clearly.
11:29Climbing the thousand steps and...
11:31and that she let go of my hand.
11:35And she was regretting it.
11:37Even after all these years.
11:39Yeah.
11:41Apparently.
11:47Hey.
11:49Nana loved you.
11:51If you take anything from today, take that.
11:52What?
11:53Yeah.
11:54Yeah, no, I...
11:55I believe it.
11:56I...
11:57Won't bring her back, but...
11:59No, I...
12:00I believe it.
12:02What about everything else that Darcy said?
12:05Well, he seemed genuine.
12:08I...
12:09I guess we'll never truly know.
12:11Oh, Jane, I forgot to tell you.
12:14The school's been trying to get in touch with you.
12:16On the home phone.
12:18Oh, I forgot to look at my phone.
12:20Oh.
12:21Messages.
12:23Sorry.
12:27Oh.
12:29Rachel.
12:30One of my...
12:31My junior teachers.
12:32She needs a...
12:33A carer's leave.
12:34Effective immediately.
12:36How long for?
12:39Well, definitely.
12:41Poor thing.
12:43Well, at least you don't have to look far to find a replacement.
12:47That was such a good day.
12:57You know what?
12:58This deserves a celebration.
12:59Take the next left.
13:01What, into the city?
13:02Mm-hmm.
13:03There'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.
13:12Put your indicator on.
13:13It's non-negotiable.
13:14Okay, okay.
13:17To your new family.
13:19To my new family.
13:27So, are you gonna tell your parents that you found Stephen?
13:31Yeah.
13:32When they get back from their cruise.
13:34It's a pretty big conversation.
13:38I was just thinking how our upbringing has shaped who we are.
13:42What if I was raised in Sandy Point?
13:45I love my dad.
13:47And I love my mum.
13:49Despite her hot messness.
13:51But, what if I was raised by a different family?
13:54Well, I don't think we'd be the people we are today.
13:59Might not be such a train wreck.
14:01Oh, you know.
14:02Tell me more about your life, Holly Hoyland.
14:13Really?
14:15Yeah.
14:16I mean, you were born and raised in London.
14:19Trips back here.
14:21I mean, weren't you an exchange student once?
14:24Yeah.
14:25Yeah, I was.
14:27In China.
14:28Wow.
14:29And didn't you want to be a doctor?
14:31Well, yes.
14:33Yeah.
14:35Go on, please.
14:36We've been talking about me all day.
14:39I want to hear all about you.
14:41So, Darcy's agreed to see me tomorrow.
14:47Hopefully, 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?
14:57I think he's just sorry because he got caught.
14:59Don't you?
15:03I've changed my mind.
15:04I want to see him.
15:08So, hang on.
15:09You said what to Susan?
15:10Fight me.
15:12I'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.
15:28I've had no choice but to be.
15:30Well, I think you turned out pretty well, considering.
15:34Oh.
15:35Another one?
15:36Ah, no.
15:37I'm gonna stick to the waters now.
15:39But go on, you have another one.
15:41No worry, I'll be good to drive.
15:43Cool.
16:01I'm glad Carl's out of the hospital.
16:04Dutty, he almost died.
16:06Susan, that was never my intention.
16:09Never.
16:11I just needed to buy more time.
16:13By almost killing him?
16:16I came to Erinsborough with the best intentions.
16:19You fed Carl's addiction.
16:22And 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.
16:31I 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 from my health centre and Chelsea dumped me and then it was Carl and it was just-
16:51Your girlfriend of two weeks dumped you?
16:54That's your justification for causing all this pain?
16:57No, no, no.
16:58One bad decision just snowballed into another.
17:00Every time I crossed the line, there was no turning back.
17:04I never ever wanted to hurt you.
17:07Even when you were in 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.
17:29Whatever consequences there are, they won't be enough.
17:32Dusty, you are a manipulative and dangerous man.
17:38Now whatever contrition you might be feeling, it's too late.
17:43You 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 used that weakness to my advantage.
17:57I'm not weak.
17:58You're not the man I used to know.
17:59Have a think about how all this started, Carl.
18:03You racing round Italy on your little motorbike, taking crazy risks.
18:07Why? What? To feel young again?
18:12You're a pathetic old man.
18:16Yeah.
18:18Time catches up with all of us, Carl.
18:21You've given your life to medicine.
18:24But I think it's time to call it a day.
18:29Oh.
18:43Sorry.
18:45Set my alarm early.
18:47Wanted to beat peak hour.
18:49Well, you are here now.
18:51Yeah, but I barely slept.
18:52I just can't believe that I am interviewing for a job at Erinsborough High.
18:57Take a deep breath.
18:59Well, this is the break that I've been waiting for.
19:03Oh, thanks.
19:05And hello.
19:06Look, you are the perfect person for this job and they go see you that straight away.
19:13Sorry I didn't text after I left.
19:16It's fine. I just wanted you to have a good time.
19:19And I know we need to talk and we will.
19:24You look different.
19:26What did I miss?
19:27Well, a lot has happened in the last 24 hours.
19:34So Holly came over right after you left yesterday.
19:39Okay.
19:41She found out some new information about Stephen Brooke.
19:46Long story short, we drove all the way to Sandy Point.
19:52Gretchen lied.
19:55Stephen is a good guy.
19:58He did want to meet me.
20:00When...
20:02I met my father.
20:09Well, I hope you got some satisfaction venting your anger.
20:13Yeah, Dad. You better have let him have it.
20:15As 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. I best get to school.
20:26Okay.
20:27Yeah, I've got to go too, sorry.
20:28See you guys soon.
20:29See you all later.
20:30I've got to go as well.
20:31Okay, bye darling.
20:32See you in a bit.
20:35So, when do you think you might feel like coming back to work?
20:40I'm suspended.
20:42Yeah, but that's not going to stand now that we know that Darcy was switching the medication, plus everything else he did.
20:47Theresa 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 soon.
20:56This is good news.
20:59Yeah, it is.
21:00Well, obviously it's sad that Stephen is ill, but hey, he's a good person and so is Gretchen.
21:10Look, I wish that you were there with me.
21:15I really do, but it happened so fast.
21:18You're not going to say anything.
21:24I'm happy that you found Stephen.
21:27You certainly don't seem happy.
21:31You were furious when I contacted Gretchen and then Holly does the same thing and she is the hero?
21:38Wendy, I-
21:39No, no, how do you think that makes me feel?
21:41Hi.
21:45Hi.
21:47Hi, um, I was just looking for Sadie.
21:52Oh, she's in the shower.
21:54Oh, she should be out soon.
21:56And, um, thank you for getting to the real truth about Stephen.
22:01Yeah, of course.
22:03It was a pretty big day.
22:05Oh, what time were you at home?
22:06Uh, we got home before dark, yeah?
22:11Yeah.
22:15Well, I, um, better go prepare for my interview tomorrow.
22:20Okay.
22:27Why did you lie?
22:30Um...
22:32Well, uh, she wanted to meet my family with me.
22:38And, you know, if I said that we went out and celebrated after, she'd feel way worse.
22:44Yeah.
22:52Coming up on Neighbours.
22:54Dad told me about your road trip to Sandy Point yesterday.
22:56How mad are you?
22:58You, uh, dropped that.
22:59Nice.
23:01Lucky night at the casino.
23:03Maxie!
23:05That's a lot of clothes for a couple of nights, then.
