Iluka angrily pointed out that he had his own money and didn’t need to resort to stealing cars, and he promptly pulled out a bag containing $8000 in notes.
Unsurprisingly, it turned out that Iluka was continuing to be economical with the truth when talking about his “own money”. He went on to explain that he had “borrowed” it from the Allens and planned to give it back when he gets signed up for an NFL contract following the footy trials in Queensland.

—Iluka had simply stolen money from the notorious siblings and they were out for his blood.
Mali forced Iluka to face reality—that he was now too old to make it as a professional footy player, and that he needs to stop chasing the dream that has caused him to make so many stupid mistakes over the years. As the brothers tried to work out their next move, Mali promised to keep cop girlfriend Rose (Kirsty Marillier) in the dark.
Next week, Mali decides to try and be sensible about the situation by reaching out to the Allens in order to return the money, but he doesn’t hear back from them.

<p>Meanwhile, Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Levi (Tristan Gorey) happen to mention Mali whilst in the surf club, which is overheard by a woman who asks whether they know him.</p>

<p>The woman claims she’s there to pick up a board from Mali but she can’t get hold of him. When Mac asks whether he perhaps intended for her to pick up the board from Mali’s workshop at the farm, she happily hands over the address.</p>

Levi goes to call the police, only for Campbell and Gordie to enter holding knives. Nat explains that Mac and Levi are going to hand over their phones, and sit down so they can have a little chat.
When Mali returns home, he’s stunned to find Mac gagged and bound to a chair in the hallway.

<p>Mali tells the Allens that he’s willing to talk about Iluka, but only if Mac is released first. The Allens oblige, though Levi still remains tied to another chair in the living room.</p>

When Nat realises that Mali is going to play ball, she calls off her siblings… but it’s too late, as they discover that Levi has been stabbed!
Mac pleads with the Allens to call an ambulance, but Nat refuses until they’ve set eyes on Iluka.
Mali attempts to call one himself but Nat snatches his phone away. As Mac scolds Mali, he eventually relents and calls Iluka, knowing the danger he’s bringing him into.
Mac is forced to improvise, as Levi gives her instructions on how to use cling film to temporarily enable him to breathe freely. Mali expresses to Mac how sorry he is but she isn’t in the mood to hear it.
Iluka finally returns home after receiving Mali’s message, but its clear that the Allens are not done yet.

<p>Will Levi be able to get help before it’s too late?</p>

Recent new arrival Iluka (Dion Williams) originally stated that he was simply visiting little bro Mali (Kyle Shilling) for a long overdue catchup, but Mali was dubious. Sure enough, after talking to sister Elandra (Rarriwuy Hick), Mali learnt that Iluka was lying low after getting on the wrong side of Mantaray Point reprobates the Allens.

<p>When Justin (James Stewart) believed his car had been stolen last week, Mali went straight to Iluka to ask if he was responsible, but was left eating humble pie when it turned out that Leah (Ada Nicodemou) had simply borrowed the car.</p>
