VOICEOVER: Previously...

They need me at work. You go!

OK, bye.

Danielle busted me going through her bag.

I saw a contact in her phone called Dr C.

There's no easy way to say this, Mum.

Clive's having an affair.

David's been assaulted.

David's been officially discharged from the prison hospital

and moved to protection.

What's this?

It's more likely this photo was taken by a guard.

There will be a way that we can use this.

One of your guards has links to the gang.

I've come up with a plan. This could get you out.

Tell me what you need me to do.

You wearing a wire is the most effective way

to catch this corrupt guard on tape.

It's entirely up to you, of course.

(GUARD LAUGHS)

If I don't do it?

We'll try to move you to another prison,

but that could take days.

Look, the wire is tiny.

Just attach it to your skin, easy.

It's still risky.

(DOOR BUZZES)

Think of the upside.

Your husband's missing you. Your daughter.

I'll have to talk to Georgia first, get her advice.

Don't take too long.

You just don't know when they're gonna make their next move.

Whatever this is, there will be a reasonable explanation.

I mean, Clive would not cheat, I'm certain of that.

He is lying to you.

He said he was going to work, but he was at this woman's house.

Danielle, that's her name.

Danielle? You were asking about a Danielle the other day.

Well, I wanted to make sure she wasn't a mutual friend.

I don't understand any of this.

You followed Clive this morning.

I needed to be sure.

And...and you took photos of him without him knowing?

I don't think that's the issue here.

But...but why? What got this bee into your bonnet?

What started all of this?

Um, I've had a gut feeling, and there's been a few red flags.

CLIVE: Knock-knock!

Door was open.

Who is Danielle, and are you having an affair?

(DOOR BUZZES)

I'll be alright in a few days.

Yeah, I can tell you, heads are gonna roll for this.

Dad.

David, you have been attacked twice.

I'm in protection. That's the best they can do

without moving me to another prison.

Yes, and we should talk about that as a possibility.

Have you spoken to Georgia yet?

I just had a call with her then.

And?

And she talked me through my options.

Oh, one of them being me suing the pants off...

No.

Oh, David.

We can't just roll over.

Dad, can you...

..Dad, can you just give me and Aaron a minute, please?

Yeah, alright.

Can you help me hold him off? Yeah.

Andrew's asking me the same thing.

I'm trying my best.

I couldn't do any of this without you.

So, what did Andrew say?

Has he got some sort of a plan?

I can't give you any details.

But it could get me out of here without any jail time.

What? So, you...you could come home?

It won't be easy.

Like, do you trust him? Is it worth a shot?

I trust that he wants to get me home to you

and Isla, which is what I want more than anything.

Are you going to do it?

It might be my only hope.

CLIVE: Could your mother and I have a moment alone?

(SCOFFS)

You know she's going to tell us everything afterwards.

Please, just give us a moment together.

I'm not cheating on you, Jane. I love you.

Well, then, what's going on?

Danielle is a major benefactor to the hospital.

Well, if that's all it is,

then why have you never mentioned her before?

Years ago, I was nearly divorced,

and she came to see me as a patient in my GP practice.

I can't really explain it, we got on.

We talked, and she asked me out for a drink.

What else happened?

One drink led to another, and we slept together several times.

You...you slept with a patient?

I know. It's wrong.

So I broke it off eventually.

You risked your entire career for this woman?

I was lonely, Jane.

I know that's not much of an excuse, but that's the truth.

Afterwards, I felt so bad that I left general practice

and I moved into administration.

Did this happen in Sydney?

It's part of the reason I left.

Danielle found it hard to let go.

After I got the job at Erinsborough Hospital,

she made a major donation to the paediatrics wing.

Because of you.

She moved here a few months ago.

Now she's one of our most generous benefactors.

Is Danielle still interested in you romantically?

I've kept her at bay, but yes.

There are always those underlying tensions.

Well, you need to set her straight.

I want to.

I'm...I'm worried that if I get on her wrong side,

she'll report the affair and my career will be ruined.

You're busy.

Had a lot of visitors today.

People are worried about me.

Wouldn't your family and friends be?

I dunno.

You want lunch?

Couldn't stomach it.

You have to admit though, the food in here's pretty bad.

Well, maybe don't murder someone next time.

Well, is there anything else other than mashed everything?

I could make it worth your while.

(CHUCKLES)

Not really my scene, mate.

No, I meant that...

Mum, I'm...I'm sorry. This...it sucks.

It's hiding it that hurts the most.

Well, at least he didn't cheat on you.

Yeah, that's true.

It makes me question what else there is.

I'm sorry, but how can we believe anything he says?

Well, you two seem to see the signs, although I still don't know how.

I need to speak with Danielle.

I don't know if that's a good idea. Yeah.

I need to make sure that I know everything.

Where does she live?

I don't think you should go on your own. I'll take you.

I am a grown woman, and I can go by myself.

You write down the address while I get ready.

Mum!

Are you going to do anything about this?

So, you're going to let her go and speak to your spicy side hustle?

Well, Mum deserves answers.

I mean, Danielle doesn't even know my real name, so it's fine.

I don't know, it's like Nick totally forgot that we had plans.

Maybe whatever the Jane thing was was really serious.

Yeah, I guess. I just felt like an afterthought.

Seems to bother you a surprising amount.

(DOOR CRASHES)

You, over there now!

NOW!

(GROANS) He's been shot!

(GRUNTS)

What is it? This is why you wanted me...Emma!

If he's been shot, he needs to go to a hospital!

Give me your phone! Both of them!

We need to call an ambulance.

If you don't give me your phone and do exactly as I say,

David won't survive the day!

(PANTS)

(DOOR SLAMS)

(ALARM BLARES)

We have to evacuate.

Hurry up, Grandma! Let's go. Move!

(ALARM BLARES)

(PANTS)

Is this the evacuation point?

Where's everyone else?

Stay here. I, uh... need to go check another wing.

You can't just leave me here.

(DOOR SLAMS)

MAN: Must be my lucky day.

Guard! Guard!

Guard! Help!

No-one cares where you are. Haven't you heard?

There's a fire.

Seems you've been cosying up to the guards.

Asking for favours.

But the thing is, only way you'll get any favours

is if your mate does exactly what she's told.

I'm going to call the prison just to get

the warden to check on him again, just in case.

He'll be in a cell on his own. He'll be alright.

Well, he wasn't alright earlier, was he?

Paul, did you not hear what he said?

He doesn't want you sticking your nose in.

That just makes things worse.

You're going to make him a target again.

It's just one phone call. Paul!

How... Don't.

Thank you for seeing me.

It isn't a total surprise, but I'll cut straight to the chase.

Clive and I aren't together.

Well, he told me that too, and he also explained your history.

It's not something that either of us advertise.

I need to ask you.

When you were Clive's patient,

did you ever feel taken advantage of?

(LAUGHS) No.

No, if anything, I pursued him.

You can't help who you fall in love with.

So, it was love for you?

I thought it was for Clive, too.

You know, he wanted to turn himself in to the AMA.

Now, that sounds more like him.

Mm. Convinced him not to. What good would that have done?

So, this is nothing that you would ever want to pursue?

Oh! I wouldn't want to get him into trouble.

You don't...you don't know a man named Harvey J, do you?

No. Why?

He's just another person who's been interested in Clive lately.

I just need to know for certain that any feelings

between you and Clive are well and truly in the past.

I gave up on that fairytale a long time ago.

But I still find Clive very attractive,

and I wouldn't say no to his company.

But he has said no to you.

I want complete honesty.

Look, you seem like a very nice woman.

I don't want to lie to you.

A few weeks ago, I suggested we have one last night together,

you know, old times' sake.

He said he'd think about it, and I've been waiting.

Since you...you didn't turn Danielle down outright,

I can't help wonder, was there are a part of you

that was considering it?

Is that my answer?

I would not be unfaithful to you, Jane.

I love you. This has just been a very challenging situation.

NICOLETTE: Oh, that sounds like an understatement.

Nicolette...

Why were you following me today?

Uh, 'cause I had a feeling you were going to that woman's house,

and I was right.

How could you possibly know about her?

Admittedly, that is still a question in my mind, too.

Do you know a Harvey J?

Danielle asked me that same question.

Oh, it's a very common name...ish.

Danielle has a history of hiring young men

as companions from time to time.

As in... Male escorts.

Apparently this man was asking some very

strange questions last week, and she found him going through

her phone after my contact.

Is this someone you've come across at the law office, Byron?

It seems that you're just deflecting from the issue

at hand here, Clive.

Should we bring Danielle in to get to the bottom of this?

No, don't do that.

Please tell me what's going on. You don't have to do this.

Don't have to do what? I'm Harvey J.

I'm an escort.

(PANTS)

Could we distract her and run?

Nah. No, she's not dumb enough to fall for that.

Help, please.

Freya, I'm done arguing.

OK, fine. I'll...I'll have a look.

But I'm telling you, it's not going to do anything.

Get on with it!

I'm Freya, I'm a nurse.

I just want to have a look at your wound.

Can you move your hand away for me? (GROANS)

It's alright, it's alright.

I don't have the right equipment to deal with this.

Make do! No, he's going to need surgery.

That's not an option!

Emma, I don't understand what you expect me to do for him!

(SCREAMS) (GLASS SHATTERS)

Emma, I've never treated a gunshot wound like this before, OK?

He's gonna need specialist attention, I'm telling you.

Do it.

Kiri, I'm gonna need you to get the scissors and the first aid kit

from the kitchen, OK?

Clean tea towels, any antiseptic that we have.

Alright, Austin, I'm gonna need you to work with me here, man.

(GROANS) Hey, this is really bad.

It's really bad, he's bleeding out. Shut up and do something!

Would you please just let me call an ambulance?!

How many times do I have to say...

I can't deal with this!

(FIRES GUN) (SCREAMS)

The guards are gonna notice I'm gone soon.

Yeah, not likely.

You're full of it.

You don't know any of my friends, and none of them would help you.

You don't think so?

I'm surprised your people on the outside haven't filled you in yet.

What do you want?

I'm expecting a phone call.

And when it happens,

I want you to say one thing into that phone.

And what's that?

"Do what she says."

(PHONE CHIMES)

He's bleeding out. Stitch him up, then.

I can't do that. It's internal. Can you just let us go?

He's gonna die unless he gets proper medical attention.

Do you understand? Shut up and just let me think!

We don't have a lot of time with him. (KNOCK AT DOOR)

His pulse is weak.

Do you want to end up like him? He's on his way out.

Well, call a doctor. Someone you trust.

I'm not going to drag another person into this,

but what I can do is I can call the paramedics,

I can fix this for you, OK?

Hello?

Get over here now! Give me your phone!

Give me your phone. Go over there. Get over there now!

Emma, just...

..just really think about this for a second, alright?

You know you can't shoot us all.

If I hear one more word from your mouth...

(PHONE RINGS)

It's for you.

DAVID: Who is this? What's going on?

David? David, is that you? Are you OK?

Nic, hey! Aarggh!

(GRUNTS)

David, it's Emma. She's got a gun.

(PANTS) Yeah, yeah...

What are they doing to him? That's up to you.

Remember what you're supposed to say. Not if they're in danger.

(SCREAMS) David!

(WHIMPERS)

Say it!

I'm sorry, just...

..do what she says.

(SOBS)

Now, where were we?
