02x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

[Relaxed music]

Something happened that made
you leave the force, didn't it?

- [Diesel barks]
- You k*lled my son!

That's what they
wanted you to think!

If I'm mixed up in
this, which I am now,

don't you think I
deserve the whole story?

Sophie arranged the meeting

between Richie
and me that night.

They fitted you up.
You never told me.

You don't need to know
about that crap, Lizzie.

Well, when you're ready to
clear our name, you let me know.

Listen, when you
find Sophie, call me.

Why would I do that?

To protect our daughter.

Hey, Max, call me
back, would you?

It's been so long.

- Did I interrupt something?
- No, not at all.

- [Jack] What's he doing?
- [Tires screech]

- Did you get the registration?
- Didn't need to.

[Jack] Senior
Sergeant Bill Carlton.

[Joan] White hair,
Cheshire cat smile.

- Sophie had a daughter.
- [Anna] Kayla.

She sent me that photo on her
phone, and that's what he took.

That break... I think it's...

It is. It's Rocky Point.

[Jack] We need to get to Sophie
and Kayla before Bill Carlton.

[Tires screech]

[Easygoing music]

[Joan] Wow.

I had no idea the Australian
coastline was so long!

[Jack] World's largest island.


the mainland.

Nearly 40 if you count
all the bays and inlets.

Sounds about right.

Why the geography lesson?

Well, I was just wondering,

with all those thousands
of miles of beach,

how you managed to
recognize Rocky Point?

Like I said,
legendary surf spot.

So how do you propose we
go about finding Sophie

when she so clearly
doesn't want to be found?

- [Diesel barks]
- [Both exclaim]

[Tires screech]

What?

[Dramatic music]

What's she doing?

[Woman groans softly]

Crikey!

[Joan] Hello? Hello?
Hello? Can you hear me?

Oh, dear. Oh, no, she's out.

Can you hear me?

Can you tell me your name?

[Sighs] She's
barely got a pulse.

- [Jack] Come on. Come on!
- [Joan] Lift up your head.

- [Phone line beeps]
- Can't get a signal.

Get me the first-aid kit.

Quick! Quick!

We're gonna have to take her
to the hospital ourselves. Yes.

- [Woman groans]
- Here. You okay?

- [Jack unzips bag]
- [Joan] Hey, hey. Hello?

[Woman groans]

What?

[Quietly] They ran
me off the road.

- [Joan] They what?
- [Woman mutters]

They ran you?

What did she say?

She didn't just crash, Jack.

Someone ran her off the road.

[Joan pants]

[Theme music]

[Woman sings operatically]

[Woman vocalizes]

[Joan] Oh. Hello?
Hello? Anyone here?

I've got an MVA.

It's a nurse.

Oh, my God! That's Gillian.
What happened to her?

Trauma to the head.

GCS 9, currently with
sinus tachycardia.

It's all right. We'll
take her from here.

Gillian, can you hear me?

Has she been involved
in a collision?

Rolled her car.
Lucky we came along.

Joan probably saved her life.

I think there's a risk
of internal hemorrhaging.

She needs a CT scan right away,

and probably a unit
or two of blood.

- Are you a nurse?
- Yeah, was.

In the U.K.

[Doctor] Hm.

Well, we'll take her
from here, thanks.

Well, I think I'll
stay here for a while,

just see how she's doing.

Right, yeah.

I'll go and check the car.

I'll leave you with
Dr. Personality.

[Sighs]

[Easygoing music]

[Vehicle approaches]

[Jack] You're
quick off the mark.

Yeah, local coppers came by
and gave me the all-clear.

Do you know the driver, Gillian?

I'm the only mechanic
and towie for 50 klicks.

I know everyone, mate.

Everyone except you.

Jack Darby.

I found her.

Drove her to hospital.

Is she all right?

Yeah, she's pretty
badly dinged up,

but... looks like she'll live.

Said she got...

..ran off the road.

Well, plenty of drivers
fall asleep at the wheel

on country roads.

Yeah.

- [Diesel yawns]
- You might be able to help me.

Looking for a couple of friends?

Nah. Not ringing any bells.

Hey, uh, if you need
fuel, ice or bait,

I've, uh, got a servo in town.

You can't miss it.
It's the only one.

- Good.
- Yeah.

[Intriguing music]

[Chains clank]

[Diesel whines]

[Towing winch whirs]

[Diesel whines]

[Equipment beeps]

[Doctor] Hello again.

Oh. Oh, I was just
checking the dose.

We've sedated her to
bring down the swelling.

With your approval, of course.

[Sighs] Old habits die hard.

I was a nurse for 30 years.

Then you would know

that only Gillian's family
should really be in here.

Do you know if someone
was threatening her?

Gillian said someone tried
to run her off the road.

This is a small
community hospital.

Gillian is very well respected.

Oh, I'm sure she is, Doctor...

Chris. Call me Chris.

Chris.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll
just finish off my rounds.

Gillian did have a run-in
with Dr. Warwick Mercer,

the head of the hospital.

What... what sort of a run-in?

Gillian reported him to the
medical board over something.

And then suddenly,
Gillian's being investigated

by the state health department.

What for?

It's just local rumors.

But they say people
die on Gillian's shift.

More than should.

That's how she got the nickname.

What nickname?

[Jack] 'Angel of Death'.

People don't call you
that for no reason.

In ICU, you try to
keep people alive.

Sometimes, however
hard you try...

[Sighs]

To be fair, we don't
really know Gillian.

That's true.

But I've known hundreds
of Gillians in my time.

Well, playing the
devil's advocate,

maybe she was trying
to help people

go out with a little dignity.

Are you talking
about assisted dying?

With compassion, yeah.

But that could be a
motive for someone

who doesn't see it that way.

Bollocks.

You don't think the ice
bucket's a bit much?

[Joan] Just because we're
having fish and chips

doesn't mean we
have to be heathens.

We need to find out why Gillian
called the medical board.

Really gotten to you, hasn't it?

It's my nursing family.

What affects one
affects all of us.

Maybe you should ask the
good doctor what he knows.

Oh, Chris wasn't
very forthcoming.

Chris, is it? Hmm.

[Scoffs]

You think he could be involved?

I'm gonna try talking
to him again tomorrow.

If at first you don't succeed...

Badger them into submission.

Good old longboard.

Yeah, it's my

Hey, I forgot to give you
your, um, pensioner's discount.

Ah, you can keep that.

I'm looking for a friend
of mine, Sophie Bairnsdale.

She's got a daughter
about your age, Kayla.

Kayla? Yeah. Yeah, I know her.

Can you tell me where
I can find them?

How about you tell me
where they can find you?

No offense, mister,
but I don't know you.

Good answer.

[Girl chuckles]

[Suspenseful music]

[Diesel whines]

[Pants]

[Diesel whines]

- [Diesel yaps]
- [Bill] I remember this beach.

Famous long break.

What are you doing here?

- Same as you, Jack.
- Doubt it.

But you still don't
get it, do you, Jack?

You're the one putting
Sophie and Kayla in danger.

How else do you
think I got here?

I followed you, drongo.

[Dramatic music]

Take it from an old mate, Jack.

Go home before
someone gets hurt.

Long time since we were mates.

[Diesel whines]

[Diesel whines]

[Barks]

[Darby] You don't like
him either, do you?

[Phone rings]

Dad, where are you?

Rocky Point, near Castle Creek.

Which bit of "leave this
to me" did you not hear?

What's that? No, I can't
hear you. Must be a bad line.

Do us a favor, will you?

I need the tracking data
on Bill Carlton's car.

Uh, why?

Oh, just in case.

I'm close to finding Sophie

and I don't want any surprises.

Don't move.

I'm coming to Rocky Point.

Is that Jack?

Who's that?

Who do you reckon?

The integrity unit's
all over this one.

- [Horn honks]
- [Jack] Stay put. I gotta go.

Uh, nothing to worry
about here, all right?

Did you hang 10?

- [Line disconnects]
- No.

Ugh!

[Exhales]

[Exhales]

[Darby] Hey!

Hey, I got you a coffee.

Thank you. Ahh.

[Joan exhales]

Got a lead on Kayla.

[Joan] Hmm?

Won't know till tomorrow.

Bill Carlton's looking too.

How did he get to know
about Rocky Point?

He said he followed us.

Oh, slimy so-and-so.

Yep, that's one
way of putting it.

Well, um, I'm gonna head off
now to, uh... to see Chris.

Dr. Chris.

Oh, yeah, Dr. Chris. Yep.

Well, I guess I'll just
go and, uh, fill the tank

while you're chatting
to Dr. Chris.

Yeah.

[Birdsong]

[Phone rings]

[Joan] Oh. Not now, Max.

[Phone clicks and stops ringing]

Oh, Chris.

You don't have to camp
out here, you know.

We can call you when
Gillian wakes up.

I wanted to apologize for
being so pushy yesterday.

I was just really
worried about her.

Oh, look, I might have
been a bit abrupt.

Well, it can't be easy
being one nurse down.

No, it was no excuse.
Your husband was right.

You probably saved
Gillian's life.

Oh, he's not my husband.
He's just... Jack.

[Chuckles] Well, you and "just
Jack" deserve our gratitude.

And if you're ever
looking for a job...

[Laughs] I think
I'm beyond that now.

Oh, not on the evidence.

Well, there is something
you could do for me,

if... if you've got a moment.

Hmm?

You could help me find out
who did this to Gillian.

Make sure it doesn't
happen again.

I don't know how I could.

You could tell me about
Gillian's feud with Dr. Mercer.

[Chuckles] It wasn't
a feud, for starters.

Dr. Mercer had developed
an opioid addiction.

He was stealing hospital stock
and fudging the paperwork.

And Gillian blew the whistle?

[Chris] Mmm.

And the medical
board suspended him.

Oh, no.

Oh, well, that's reason enough

to run someone off
the road, I suppose.

Well, I guarantee
you it wasn't him.

How can you be so sure?

Dr. Mercer passed away
several months ago.

Ohh.

In the end, I think the
shame was too much for him.

Really?

I didn't mention it out
of respect for his legacy.

He was a fine doctor
before all this.

Excuse me, Doctor.
Gillian's awake.

[Joan] Oh!

[Chris] We'll call you, Joan.

Yeah.

[Water splashes]

[People laugh and
chatter nearby]

[Rock music plays softly]

- [Jack] G'day.
- [Laurie] Hey.

For the fuel.

Thank you, sir.

So, you figured out what
happened to Gillian yet?

Still working on it.

There's a rumor.

Some of the locals call
her, uh, Angel of Death.

Ohh. People love to
gossip, don't they?

Yeah, well, obviously
someone believes it.

No one I can name, but
it's a bit rich, isn't it?

I bet she's patched up half
the people who call her that

at one time or another.

I'll bet she has.

Good, thanks.

- [Jack kicks pot]
- [Laurie] Ooh.

Sorry, I didn't...

Nice touch, the roses.

Man's got to have
a hobby, right?

Yeah.

[Phone rings]

Miranda?

Are you trying to sabotage

Liz's entire career?

I told her to stay out of it.

And yet you keep asking
her to do things for you.

Look, Liz is an adult.

She can make her own decisions.

Not when it comes to you.

She adores you, you know that.

She'd do anything for you.

Anyway, what's so special
about Rocky Point?

Apart from that

famous break you used to surf.

Ooh, you remember, do you?

How could I forget?

The old blue Kombi full of
sand and cigarette butts

when we both smoked.

Ha.

Come on.

You want to protect Liz?

Tell me what you know.

Why is Bill Carlton so
interested in finding Sophie?

Bill Carlton?

I've no idea.

But I'll find out.

Miranda?

Thanks.

I can set you up with a
private office if you need it.

Well, that'd be great, thanks.

Any updates?

Where's Liz?

Oh, she's not here.

Hmm.

Mick.

Is there a reason Bill
Carlton's asking questions?

No.

I'll call him off.

[Easygoing music]

Knock, knock.

You must be the Pom
who saved my life.

I'm so glad we came
along when we did.

Someone up there's
looking out for me.

That was quite an
accident you had.

It wasn't an accident.

I was deliberately
ran off the road.

You remember.

[Sighs] It's not something
you easily forget.

No.

I'm not well liked in
town at the moment.

Someone started a
hurtful rumor about me.

Yeah. It must be very upsetting.

I don't know if I can
stay on after this.

Or even if I should.

I'm going to find out
who did this to you.

I already know who
did it, though.

It was Angie Zorko,
the real estate agent.

I know her car anywhere.

Why would she do
something like that?

'Cause I k*lled her
brother, Mateus.

At least, that's what
she's telling everyone.

I've been talking to
Laurie, the mechanic.

He confirmed the
Angel of Death rumors.

Couldn't give me
any names, though.

Lucky I've got one,
then, from Gillian.

Just need their hospital file.

- Their hospital file?
- Mmm.

Work with me.

What?

Fiona?

Uh, you wouldn't
have an ice pack

that I could borrow, would you?

I think I did me knee
from surfing this morning.

- Let me have a look for you.
- I don't know if I need that.

Don't be such a caveman.

You might have
really hurt yourself.

Come on, I don't bite.

Okay.

- All right.
- Argh!

Okay.

Strides off.

Huh?

Pants down.

[Intriguing music]

[Mouse clicks]

[Computer beeps]

[Object clatters nearby]

[Mouse clicks]

[Printer whirs]

- That one?
- Yeah.

Okay.

On a scale of one to


Well, about halfway
between a sprained ankle

and having my leg
ripped off by a shark.

[Chuckles] Okay, so about a six?

Yeah.

Well, the good news
is you'll live.

It's not a meniscus or an ACL.

More likely a bad case

of you trying to
relive your glory days.

[Both chuckle]

You can put your
strides back on now.

[Printer whirs]

[Lighthearted music]

[Mouse clicks]

[Mouse clicks]

- [Door opens]
- [Footsteps approach]

[Mouse clicks]

[Sighs] I, uh... I was
just holding the fort.

Oh. Well, I'm not
sure we can pay you.

Maybe you could buy me dinner.

Oh, um, yeah.

[Laughs]

Sure. That sounds fair.

Tomorrow night?

Yeah.

Uh, I can't promise
anything too flash,

but there'll be a
tablecloth and some cutlery.

Till tomorrow, then.

Okay.

Thanks, Doc.

Oh, thanks, Fiona. A lot better.

Cheers, mate.

[Mouse clicks]

I think that Dr. Chris
has got a thing for you.

Well, he's only human.

You should go for it.

Are you giving me permission?

Hey, you're a long time dead.

Jack Darby, the
surfing philosopher.

[Upbeat music]

Jeez, if you're gonna settle
down, this is it, right?

Who said anything
about settling down?

[Jack] Oh, I thought
your mate Dr. Whatsit

might have mentioned something.

[Joan] Oh, God!

Good afternoon.

I can see you're a
couple with good taste.

This home is divine!

No, we're not househunting.

Angie Zorko?

Yes.

[Jack] We're, um,
looking into an incident

that occurred a
couple of mornings ago

with, um, Gillian Novak.

She's done it again, has she?

The Angel of Death?

No, no. That's...
that's just a rumor.

Oh, she k*lled my brother

when he was in
hospital with silicosis

from cutting those awful
fake stone benches.

That's fatal, isn't it?

Mateus wasn't near death's
door, if that's what you mean.

He went into hospital
after an episode.

Next day, he was dead.

Lungs gave in, they said.

Well, I'm very
sorry to hear that.

So, who's she k*lled now?

[Jack] No, no, no. We think
someone's tried to k*ll her.

She was run off the road.

Then they stopped to
have a good look too.

Oh! And now you think I had
something to do with it?

Clearly you have
an issue with her.

But m*rder's a bit much,
even for a real estate agent.

We have a witness that
saw your car at the scene.

That's impossible,
unless it grew legs.

It's been at Laurie's
garage all week,

waiting for a new starter motor.

You can tell your witness
they need their eyes checked.

Gillian was certain
that it was Angie's car.

She also had a head injury
and was heavily sedated.

Now, I have to check in
at the beach for Kayla.

So, I get the local mechanic?

If you insist.

[Easygoing music]

[Sniffs]

Laurie?

Rocky Point's best mechanic?

Rocky Point's only mechanic.

[Laughs] Details, details.

Uh, I'm looking into
Gillian's accident.

Okay, along with
your boyfriend, Jack?

Oh, no, he's not my boyfriend.

He's, um...

Well, he's...

Anyway, never mind.

Um, someone told me

that Angie Zorko's
car was at the scene.

[Chuckles] Well, that'd make
me the world's best mechanic.

There it is there.

Hasn't been roadworthy
since about 2005.

Oh.

And hasn't been going for
at least a week, so...

Oh, right.

I see.

Well, thanks.

No worries.

[Intriguing music]

[Gentle music]

Hello, Kayla.

How did you go with
Kayla and Sophie?

I don't know about Sophie, but
Kayla will be here tomorrow.

- No, no, no! No, you don't.
- I'm almost dry.

It's very quaint,

this surfing lark
reconnecting you

with your misspent youth,
but that doesn't mean

you can put your wet
bum on my upholstery.

Did you just call
surfing 'quaint'?

- Hmm.
- Did you want to have a go?

No, I can't. I don't
know how to surf.

- Come on. You'll love it.
- No.

Let's go. I'll get
you a wet suit.

- No, I can't.
- Come on!

Come on, you're gonna love it.

- [Laughs]
- Come on! Let's go! Now!

[Jack] Turn around. Turn around.

Now, go!

- [Joan] Ooh!
- Go!

[Joan squeals]

Come out here.
We'll get a big one.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

And let's go!

[Joan] Whee!

Whoo-hoo!

[Joan laughs]

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[Joan laughs]

Whoo-hoo!

Turn around. Turn around.

Whoo-hoo!

- [Joan] Watch out! Watch out!
- That's what you've gotta be on.

- Go! Go! Go!
- [Joan squeals]

Oh! [Laughs]

- Is that good?
- [Laughs]

- Let's do some more!
- Hey?

- More! More! [Laughs]
- Well, then, come on.

- Come on!
- [Joan sighs]

Put your hands up
here a bit further.

[Joan laughs]

[Jack] Get ready.
That's it. Here we go.

[Chris laughs]

[Joan] Sometimes I feel
like a hermit crab,

traveling around with
my house on my back.

Well, it's a very
impressive-looking house.

[Chuckles]

It's a bit like being a
locum doctor, isn't it?

I mean, you're nomadic too.

Yeah, except it's, uh, twice the
pay and half the responsibility.

[Joan laughs]

Which is great until you
want to put down some roots.

- [Phone rings]
- Mmm. Ooh!

[Jazz music plays softly]

[Chris] Sorry, Max. Joan's
already got a date tonight.

So, it's a date, is it?

Actually, I wanted to extract
some information from you.

Ahh!

An interrogation date.

The downside of
traveling with a cop

is that everywhere you
go is a crime scene

and everyone you
meet is a suspect.

Oh! So I'm a suspect now.

Okay.

What do you want to know?

[Jazz music continues softly]

Why is Gillian called
the Angel of Death?

Oh, right.

Well, somebody reported her

and she was investigated
by the health department.

Because of the death
of Mateus Zorko?

And another patient, a woman
by the name of Belle Parker.

But nothing came of it.

Right.

Well, Gillian works in ICU.

I mean, if you work in
ICU, you're gonna be there

when people are having the
worst day of their lives.

And not everybody
makes it. We know that.

So, she wasn't playing God?

I don't believe she'd do that.

I treated Mateus
Zorko and Belle Parker

and they were both terminal.

And before you break
out the handcuffs,

I wasn't on duty when
either of them died.

[Both chuckle]

God, that got dark quickly.

Good, so at least
I'm not having a date

with a serial k*ller.

Well, now we've got the,
uh, lie detector out...

..what is Jack to you?

Jack?

Oh.

Jack is Jack.

Um, he's a special friend.

And, uh, not with benefits.

[Chuckles] You sure? I
don't think he knows that.

Oh, no, he definitely does.

He does!

Okay.

Well, now we've established

that I'm not a serial k*ller

and Jack's not
some secret lover,

maybe we can begin our date.

You promised me a tablecloth.

Well, there is cutlery
and there is wine.

It's rather good wine too.

- Cheers.
- [Glasses clink]

[Joan] Cheers.

[Easygoing music]

- [Joan] Hello, beautiful.
- [Diesel barks]

Hello, beautiful!

Hello, beauty.

So, what's he like,
your, uh, Dr. Chris?

[Joan] Oh, he's lovely!

He was great fun.

And he's a perfect gentleman.
We're gonna keep in touch.

Did he say any more about
Gillian and the Angel of Death?

Only what I told you
about Belle Parker.

Oh, and the hospital did
a thorough investigation

and found no wrongdoing.

I wonder what Belle's
husband thinks about that.

[Jack] You must
hate roses, mate.

Only these ones.

Jack, Joan. I rang earlier.

The roses are my
wife Belle's thing.

She used to travel to
all the flower shows

and collect the exotics.

It's too painful when they
bloom, so I put natives in.

[Jack] You mentioned
on the phone

that Belle was
friends with Gillian.

Yeah, they were close friends.

That didn't give her the right

to take her away
from me like that.

Oh, I understood that
Belle had breast cancer?

Yeah, they caught it late,

so she was gone
within five months.

She was in a lot of
pain towards the end

and it was heartbreaking to
see her fade away like that.

I'm so sorry.

But Gillian robbed me of
precious time with her.

[Joan] It's always hard
to lose a loved one.

My husband passed away
not that long ago.

Then you know what
it feels like,

what you wouldn't
do for one more day?

Ah... yes.

But what makes you so
sure that it was Gillian?

The medical board...

I don't care what the
medical board said.

She did it.

Why else would
someone report her?

Now, hold on a sec.

We thought you reported
Gillian to them.

Well, obviously I spoke to them
when they did their review.

But I guess someone on staff at
the hospital pipped me to it.

Right.

Look, do you mind
if I take some?

Help yourself.

Hmm.

Thanks, mate. Sorry
for your loss.

[Joan] Hiya, Gillian.

Oh, how beautiful!

Thank you.

They're from Belle's garden.

Oh. She loved her English
roses. It was like an obsession.

You knew her quite well.

Yeah.

Not enough to
euthanize her, though.

It's what you want
to know, right?

Gosh, you don't beat
about the bush, do you?

Oh, come on, Joan.

You're a nurse. We
don't pussyfoot around.

We hesitate and people die.

There is often
gray in what we do.

Not with Belle.

She really suffered.

She begged me to end it.

Just wish I had had the courage.

The review found that she had
died of an overdose of fentanyl.

We administered the opioid
through the IV pump.

- Mmm.
- I never showed her how.

But I know she
watched me like a hawk

any time I adjusted the dose.

Oh, so you think she
dialed up her own dose?

She may have.

I don't know.

It was tragic
timing, either way.

I mean, she finally decided
to leave her husband.

I thought Dennis
seemed devoted to her.

She said she connected
with her soulmate.

Someone to share her passions.

Lucky her.

She never told me who it was.

It seemed serious. They rented
a house out of town for them.

Really?

And do you think Dennis
never knew about this?

Oh, come on, Joan.

Spouses are the last
to know anything.

Yeah.

Joan.

You could take the roses.

They remind me
too much of Belle.

Take care.

Jack.

Belle had a secret lover.

- Good for her. Come on, mate.
- [Diesel yips]

Someone with a shared passion.

Well, if this someone blamed
Gillian for Belle's death,

then this could
be about revenge.

Jack.

Who do we know who
loves English roses?

I'll call the cops.
Meet you there.

[Intriguing music]

[Laurie] There you
go. Bag of ice.

[Jack] Thanks.

Might I be right in thinking
you're a bit of a rose expert?

A rosarian.

Secretary of the Australian
Rose Society for 10 years.

Then we have the right man.

We have.

We know about the
house that Belle rented

for the two of you to meet up.

Of course, you had
to be discreet.

It wasn't just some fling.

We'd been in love for years,
ever since high school,

but we couldn't do
anything about it.

We used to hang out

before I went away to
do my apprenticeship

and when I came back, she
was married to Dennis.

Later she told me she
thought I'd gone for good,

so I spent the next


waiting for... waiting
for I don't know what.

And then last year, I got
brave and declared myself.

She felt the same all that time.

So we promised not to
waste any more time.

About a week later,
she was diagnosed.

She went so suddenly.

Like punishment, I guess,
for trying to be happy.

[Poignant music]

That's why you ran Gillian
off the road in Angie's car?

Someone had to stop her
from trying to play God.

No, she wasn't playing God.

I know it's hard to face,

but your Belle had
a terminal illness.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

We waited so long,
wasted so many years.

Don't wait.

[Sighs]

[Relaxed music]

[Joan] Hey, Gillian.

Good to see you up and about.

Yeah, it's a modern miracle.

These were in reception for you.

Aww. From my patients!

Seems like they're missing me.

Of course they are.

Even calling me
their guardian angel.

[Joan chuckles]

The police told me about Laurie.

Yeah.

Well, he was so angry
about Belle's death,

he needed to blame
it on someone.

When my husband, Ian, died,

I came halfway around the world
looking for someone to blame.

Well, lucky for me you did.

My guardian angel.

Ohhh.

[Surfers squeal and laugh]

[Kayla] That's it.

All right, now you just
want to get on the board.

- That's it.
- [Surfers] Whoo!

[Kayla] You're a pro, girl.

[Laughs] Yeah. All right.

That's it. You've got it.

Paddle, paddle.

Nice!

[Surfers cheer]

[Jack] Looks like you've
started something.

[Joan laughs]

Well, I wish I could
be out there with them.

[Jack] Told you
it was addictive.

Hey, there's Kayla.

[Kayla laughs]

Hey, Kayla! Jack Darby.

[Bill] Kayla! Get
that out of here!

Police!

[Jack] Kayla...

[Bill] Kayla! Hang on!

Wait up!

Hey...

Kayla!

Ugh. [Pants]

[Bill] Hey, wait, wait!
I just wanna talk to you!

[Kayla pants]

[Bill] Kayla! Wait.
I just wanna talk!

Dad!

- [Bill groans]
- [Liz] Dad!

[Bill groans] Get off
of me, you maggot!

- [Liz] Oh!
- Get off!

[Bill groans]

Oh, great work, Jack!
And you too, Liz.

Flushing your career down
the dunny like your old man.

Why do you always have to
play the Boy Scout, Jack?

All you had to do
was take the envelope

and Richie would still be alive

and Sophie would
have had a life!

You were there!

You were the sh**ter.

And now what are you doing?

Tying up loose ends?

You have no idea.

[Tense music]

What's that about?

He's full of it.

I told you not to come.

Like I take orders from you!

I'm trying to protect you.

[Liz] You have no badge, no g*n,

and not a skerrick
of common sense.

Who's protecting you?

Yeah, well, she does
have a point there.

Look, I, uh...
I'll be right back.

[Phone clicks]

[Line rings]

Angie Zorko, Rocky Point's
number one realtor.

Oh, hello. It's Joan here.

We met the other day. I
wanted to ask you something.

Oh, you're too late on
the house. It just sold.

Oh, no, it's not that.

Um, did you ever rent a place

to Sophie Bairnsdale
and her daughter Kayla?

[Chuckles] We real estate
agents get a bad rap,

but some of us do have ethics.

Oh, yes, I understand.

And I wouldn't be asking
if it wasn't an emergency.

Please, Angie.

We're trying to help them.

[Intriguing music]

I'm in Rocky Point.

We just had a run-in
with Bill Carlton.

A run-in? What?
Are you okay? Liz?

Mick was supposed
to call him off.

Well, he clearly
didn't get the message.

Dad tracked down
Sophie and Kayla.

Oh, he found her.

Course he did.

He had a few
faults, your father,

but he was always more
than a half-decent cop.

- [Horn honks]
- Come on, Liz! Quick!

[Joan] We've got an address!

[Engine starts]

[Exhales]

Ahh.

- [Sighs]
- [Engine starts]

[Phone beeps]

- [Suspenseful music]
- Gotcha!

[Tires squeal]

[Engine revs]

[Engine revs]

[Tires screech]

[Suspenseful music]

We'll go around this way.

What? Are you sure you don't
want to just ring the doorbell?

That's how we do
things nowadays.

No. I don't want them doing
a runner again, all right?

Okay, I'll go around the front,

just in case you guys
spook them, okay?

[Suspenseful music]

[Suspenseful music continues]

[Door creaks]

Kayla!

[Knocks on glass door] Kayla.

[Gasps]

- Oh.
- Who are you?

- I'm sorry.
- Get out of my house.

- Sorry. Thought you were...
- Get out of my house!

- Thought you were somebody else.
- Get out!

- Yeah, I'm going! All right?
- Get out!

[Jack] We're not
here to hurt you.

I'm a friend of
your grandma Anna.

She gave me this photo.

I'm Jack Darby,
and this is Joan.

[Line rings]

That address was bogus!

[Dramatic music]

[Engine starts]

[Tires screech]

Mum knew you'd find us one day.

Not the kind of
guy who gives up.

[Chuckles] There's
an understatement.

You're okay.

It's the guy who comes
after you that's scary.

Are you going somewhere?

Your bags are packed.

Whoever's been after
Mum all this time

has found where
we've been hiding.

We can protect you.

She tried that before.

This time, Mum and I
decided I should go.

Go where?

Anywhere. Just disappear.

Whatever she saw,
she's never told me,

but, I mean, who's
gonna believe that?

Where is your mum?
She's still in danger.

They can't touch her now.

You do know?

Know what?

She died... from cancer.

[Emotional music]

[Jack] Sophie's dead?

Oh, you poor girl.
We had no idea.

[Kayla] I'm sorry.
I thought you knew.

Whatever you needed
to know, Jack...

..it died with her.

[Ocean roars]

[Gentle music]
