00:00Previously on Neighbours.
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
04:00I think I'm your son
04:01I think I'm your son
04:03I'm not going to shy away from that
04:13I'm not going to shy away from that
04:16So what happened that day?
04:17I was afraid that you would investigate her finances
04:21and find out what I've done
04:22I'm responsible for Amanda's death.
04:25I'm not going to shy away from that.
04:28So, what happened that day?
04:34I was afraid that you would investigate her finances and find out what I'd done.
04:44So, you lured her to the Dandenong's?
04:51My intentions weren't good, but when we got there, things changed.
05:02She started talking about you.
05:04I've got to be with Jane and Nicolette and Byron and my great granddaughter.
05:09What I was planning, I realised I couldn't go through with it.
05:13Yes.
05:14Yes, you do.
05:16Let's get you home.
05:17Jane can bring you back another time.
05:19I'll call you a car.
05:22I 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.
05:35How did my mother die, Darcy?
05:47I looked over into the ravine and saw her down there.
05:53Climbed down.
05:54Checked her pulse.
05:55She was gone.
05:56You robbed me of my mother.
05:57And she was so angry with me before she died.
06:14No.
06:15No.
06:16No, she wasn't.
06:17She wasn't.
06:19Does a thousand steps mean anything to you?
06:27But there was this moment there.
06:30She thought I was you.
06:32And she started apologising.
06:35She said, do you remember the day we climbed a thousand steps?
06:41You were just a little girl.
06:43I 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.
07:13Barbara always wanted to find you, but we didn't want to make the first move.
07:19We felt the decision should be yours.
07:23I have to say, it'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.
07:49You set him back?
07:51What do you mean?
07:53The big C?
07:55It's in my lungs.
07:57I 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.
08:14You're just being protective.
08:18You said at the time something changed.
08:23Dad got good news yesterday.
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:27I'm responding well to chemo.
08:28Hey, that's fantastic.
08:30So this is two very good days in a row.
08:34Is that your daughter?
08:39Oh, um, no that's actually my daughter's best friend.
08:45It's a long story.
08:47She was instrumental in getting me here today.
08:49Well don't leave her over there, invite her on board.
08:51Then we can have a good long chat.
08:53What more can I tell you?
08:58I had great parents, great 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.
09:10The police academy?
09:12Yeah, I had a few placements before I ended up in Ehrensborough.
09:16Ever since then it's been home.
09:18Everyone's in the family then, serving the community.
09:22Well, I'll say to join the force, I'll become the next Ringo Starr.
09:26You play the drums.
09:28I was in the navy band.
09:30Boom, boom.
09:35Well, I like to think I 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.
09:49Sadie, your best friend.
09:50Yeah, she's the best.
09:51Hey.
09:52You okay?
09:53Dad.
09:54I'm all right.
09:55Oh.
09:56Oh.
09:57Oh.
09:58Oh.
09:59Oh.
10:00Oh.
10:01Oh.
10:02Oh.
10:03Oh.
10:04Oh, Chris.
10:05Oh.
10:06Hey, Hall, it's...
10:07It's getting late.
10:08We probably should go on the road.
10:10Yeah, yeah, we should.
10:12Don't go.
10:13Don't go.
10:14Not just you.
10:15Yeah, okay.
10:16I'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.
10:27Yeah, we've found each other now.
10:33That's all that matters.
10:40I just can't get over how well that went.
10:41It was meant to be.
10:42And he's a nice guy.
10:43Gretchen's lovely.
10:44I mean, even though she gave us the bums, dear.
10:45Yeah, we could tell her heart was in the right place.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Just, they seem like such a loving family.
10:48They're your family.
10:49Holly.
10:50None of this would happen if you didn't stick your nose in.
10:52Well, I'm really happy for you.
10:53Yeah, I'm happy for me, too.
10:54Yeah.
10:55And nobody else could have known that story.
11:10No.
11:11And nobody else could have known that story.
11:22that story? No. Only Mum. I remember it so clearly. Climbing the thousand steps and that
11:32she let go of my hand. And she was regretting it, even after all these years. Yeah. Apparently.
11:47Hey, Nana loved you. If you take anything from today, take that.
11:52Yeah, no, I believe it. I won't bring her back, but no, I believe it.
12:02What about everything else that Darcy said?
12:05Well, he seemed genuine. I guess we'll never truly know.
12:12Oh, Jane, I forgot to tell you, the school's been trying to get in touch with you on the home phone.
12:16Oh, I forgot to look at my phone. Oh, messages. Sorry.
12:26Oh, Rachel, one of my junior teachers, she needs a carer's leave effective immediately.
12:35How long for?
12:39Oh, definitely. Poor thing.
12:42Well, at least you don't have to look far to find a replacement.
12:45That was such a good day.
12:57You know what? This deserves a celebration. Take the next left.
13:00What, into the city?
13:02Mm-hmm. There's this place I've been meaning to try at the V bar.
13:04Come on. Reviews say it's perfect for a guy that just met his biological father.
13:11Put your indicator on. It's non-negotiable.
13:13Okay.
13:17To your new family.
13:18To my new family.
13:20So, are you going to tell your parents that you found Stephen?
13:31Yeah. When they get back from their cruise, it'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?
13:44I love my dad. And I love my mum. Despite her hot messness. But 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.
14:09Tell me more about your life, Holly Hoyland.
14:12Really?
14:15Yeah. I mean, you were born and raised in London.
14:19Trips back here. I mean, weren't you an exchange student once?
14:23Yeah. Yeah, I was. In China.
14:29And didn't you want to be a doctor?
14:31Yes. Yeah.
14:34Go on, please. We've been talking about me all day.
14:39I want to hear all about you.
14:42So, 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? I think he's just sorry because he got caught.
14:59Don't you?
14:59I've changed my mind.
15:05I want to see him.
15:08So, hang on. You said what to Susan?
15:10Fight me.
15:11I'll never forget it.
15:12And how did she respond?
15:15Oh, she rose to the challenge, of course.
15:18She had to win me over, which she did, obviously.
15:23Jeez, Junior Hoyland. A force to be reckoned with.
15:25Yeah. I've had no choice but to be.
15:28Well, I think he turned out pretty well, considering.
15:34Hmm. Another?
15:35Ah, no. I'm going to stick to the waters now.
15:39But go on, you have another one.
15:40No, I'll be good to drive.
15:41Cool.
15:43I'm glad Carl's out of the hospital.
16:03Dusty, he almost died.
16:06Susan, that was never my intention. Never.
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.
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,
16:37it meant the world to me.
16:39But then, somewhere along the way, I just...
16:43fell into old habits.
16:45Well, I couldn't get investors from my health center,
16:48and Chelsea dumped me, and then it was Carl, and it was just...
16:51Your friend of two weeks dumped you?
16:54That's your justification for causing all this pain?
16:56No, no, no, no.
16:57One 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.
17:06Even when you were in hospital, I didn't want you to die.
17:10I just had to get away.
17:12I had this crazy idea that I had a future with Tess.
17:18But you had to ruin that for me, didn't you?
17:20None of this excuses what you did.
17:23I know.
17:26I'll take whatever consequences come my way.
17:29Whatever consequences there are, they won't be enough.
17:33Dusty, 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.
17:47You 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.
17:56I'm not weak.
17:57You're not the man I used to know.
17:59Have a think about how all this started, Carl.
18:02You racing around Italy on your little motorbike, taking crazy risks.
18:06Why, what, to feel young again?
18:08You're a pathetic old man.
18:16Yeah.
18:18Time catches up with all of this, Carl.
18:20You've given your life to medicine.
18:23But I think it's time to call it a day.
18:38Oh.
18:44Set my alarm early.
18:45Wanted to beat peak hour.
18:49Well, you are here now.
18:50Yeah, 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 they go see that straight away.
19:13Sorry I didn't text after I left.
19:15It's fine.
19:16I just wanted you to have a good time.
19:19And I know we need to talk, and we will.
19:21You 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.
19:39Okay.
19:40She 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 is a good guy.
19:58He did want to meet me.
20:00When I met my father.
20:03Well, I hope you got some satisfaction venting your anger.
20:12Yeah, Dad.
20:13You 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.
20:23I best get to school.
20:25Okay.
20:25Yeah, 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.
20:31See you in a bit.
20:33So, 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
20:44switching the medication, plus everything else he did.
20:48Theresa said she's happy for you to come back as soon as you feel well.
20:50I can't see myself coming back any time, sir.
20:56This is good news.
20:58Yeah, it is.
20:59Well, 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.
21:21I'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?
21:37Wendy, I...
21:38No, no, how do you think that makes me feel?
21:41Hi.
21:47Hi, um...
21:49I 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 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.
22:19Okay.
22:27Why did you lie?
22:28Um, well, I, 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.
22:43Yeah.
22:51Coming up on Neighbours.
22:53Dad told me about your road trip to Sandy Point yesterday.
22:56How mad are you?
22:58You, uh, drop that.
22:59Thanks.
23:00Lucky night at the casino.
23:02Maxie!
23:04That's a lot of clothes for a couple of nights.
