00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I left my charger in the room at the hotel.
00:04Has anyone got a booty call?
00:05Whatever happened last night, it has to be a one-off.
00:07It has to be this way, Holly.
00:09There's just way too much at stake.
00:10Annalise has just checked out.
00:12She's giving us both a little bit of space.
00:14The expo's just over a week away.
00:15And we've both got a lot of work to do.
00:17It's almost a million dollars.
00:19So don't sell it.
00:20Lucy has just caught up with Annalise at the airport.
00:23Hopefully they'll be so busy talking about old times
00:25that Lucy won't notice
00:26taking the funds from Lasseter's to bail you out.
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
00:56That's when good neighbours
00:58We can find the good friends
01:04What did you just say about Lasseter's money?
01:08It's alright, it's not important.
01:10I'm married to your business partner, I think it is.
01:12How could you be okay with this?
01:14I'm not. I wasn't. I thought the money was coming from Paul's savings. I wouldn't have accepted otherwise.
01:24Dad?
01:26Therese was having some financial issues at Irene.
01:30So I helped her out.
01:32I used a bit of my money and I borrowed a bit from the hotel.
01:34Without Krista's knowledge or permission.
01:36Leah, it's no big deal.
01:38I always intended to put the money back before the next quarterly report.
01:42How was I to know that Lucy was going to come and move the whole thing forward?
01:46A few days ago we agreed all cards on the table.
01:49Yeah.
01:50But as I said, I was always going to put the money back.
01:52This is corporate theft.
01:54Oh no, please don't tell Krista.
01:58Okay, I won't.
02:00You will.
02:03Welcome back.
02:04Thanks.
02:05Hi Lucy.
02:06So good you were both able to time your arrival together.
02:09Nothing like safety in numbers.
02:11Yes, I filled Lucy in on everything that Paul has been up to.
02:14When I sung Annalise's praises to Paul, I had no idea he was going to pit you against one another.
02:20I mean, Paul loves a game, but he went too far.
02:24Yes, I agree.
02:25He should probably stick to chess.
02:27Oh, don't forget, I want that update story on Bette's new man.
02:32Ah, yeah, you mean the one where Ned gives them matching tattoos?
02:35Yes, exactly that one.
02:39Well, is everything okay?
02:41Yeah, sorry, it's just Leo.
02:42He wants to meet me now.
02:45Okay, when do you want to debrief on worldly gems and my role here?
02:49I'll give you a buzz when I'm finished with Leo.
02:51Okay.
02:52Okay, bye.
02:53Bye.
02:55So, can you give me a hint on how you're feeling?
02:59Oh, I mean, if they'll have me, I would love to come on board.
03:03But, that's really up to Krista.
03:06I want her blessing.
03:10Max, are you happy to sit on that?
03:12Yeah, man, all good.
03:13Cheers.
03:14Hey, can I ask you something?
03:15Sure.
03:16Would you think it was weird if Rhett booked a hotel room for the night and didn't tell you about it?
03:24Polly didn't tell you that she stayed at Lasseter's last night?
03:28No, not until today.
03:29She said she just needed some space and, you know, at first I didn't think much of it.
03:33But now I, uh, yeah, I don't know.
03:36Well, I mean, needing some personal space doesn't necessarily mean she's upset.
03:41Yeah.
03:43No, but the thing is, like, I know she is because the Bowman stuff's really been getting to her and, like, I want to be there for her but I feel like she's pushing me away so I just, like, yeah, I just, I don't know what to do.
03:56Yeah.
03:57Well, when she's ready to talk, she'll talk.
03:59Mm.
04:00And when she is, you just need to be ready to listen.
04:03Yeah?
04:04Yeah.
04:05Yeah, I guess.
04:08$300,000?
04:10From company accounts?
04:11Well, how did you even do that?
04:13A little bit from here, a little bit from there, but it's all right, I'm going to put the money back.
04:18Right, so this is why you've been arguing that we shouldn't do the quarterly report yet with Lucy.
04:22And anyway, I'm going to be coming into some dividends soon and if we win the bronze bell, we'll both get a bonus so the money will all be put back. Easy.
04:30This is boring, Paul, and I'm over it.
04:35Krista's name is on the door too.
04:37Oh, okay.
04:41That was perfect, thank you.
04:44Wait, don't tell me you're done.
04:46No, I just feel a bit off in the tummy.
04:49Can't stop thinking about those amazing jewelers and entering the competition and how they're going to crush me.
04:56No way.
04:58Your new entry is amazing.
05:01Yes.
05:02They should be worried about you.
05:05I know it's good, but they are really good at getting attention.
05:09You should see the numbers that these people are getting on socials, with their drone shots and their fancy fashion shots.
05:16I mean, how am I meant to compete with that?
05:18Come on.
05:19You're one of the most creative people I know.
05:21Surely you can come up with something funny and interesting that people want to watch.
05:25Can I?
05:26Come on.
05:28Yeah, I wish that people could have seen you strutting in my jewellery.
05:31Fuck.
05:32That would have got some clicks.
05:33Yeah.
05:36Oh my gosh, that's it.
05:37You're my secret weapon.
05:41What? Me?
05:42Oh my gosh.
05:43You look great in my jewellery and people won't be able to keep their eyes off you.
05:47Oh my gosh, please.
05:48Can you please be my model?
05:52Okay.
05:53Stop.
05:55You're the best husband.
05:58Okay.
05:59And...
06:01Ta-da!
06:02We have the place ourselves, so I thought it would be a beautiful day for a picnic.
06:08A pool picnic.
06:10Pool picnic?
06:11That's a cute one.
06:12Yeah.
06:13I figured now you've caught up on your sleep, we could resume our couple's day.
06:17I can't believe you've gone to so much trouble.
06:19Yeah, of course.
06:20Anything for you.
06:21You know that.
06:22Let's get this party started.
06:27Yeah?
06:28Great.
06:30So what are you going to do about Annalise?
06:33An hour ago, I was going to tell her that I would love for her to manage the hotel with me.
06:38And now?
06:40Now I don't even know if I want to stay at Lassiter's.
06:47What do you think?
06:48Basically what you're experiencing is why I'd never go into business with Dad.
06:54And why you never ask him for money.
06:56Yeah.
06:58I'll support you in whatever you want to do.
07:01But don't forget he needs you too.
07:03Especially if he's going back and forth between the states.
07:08Hi.
07:09Got your message.
07:11You ready to chat?
07:14Oh.
07:15I feel like I'm about to get bad news.
07:20Actually.
07:23I have an idea that could be a game changer.
07:30Okay, give me a smile.
07:32No, no, no.
07:33Like, give me a real smile.
07:35You know, like a cheeky smile.
07:38Okay, babe.
07:39No, no.
07:41You just need to relax.
07:42You are so stiff.
07:43Yeah.
07:46I'm a cop, I'm not a model.
07:48Yeah, but you were doing so well before.
07:49Come on, just keep on doing more of that.
07:52Okay, you know what?
07:53Let's just, we'll try again.
07:54Okay?
07:55Um, just try to relax your shoulders.
07:58No, okay, we'll...
08:00Oh, babe.
08:01You know what?
08:02Think of something fun.
08:03Like cheese.
08:04Surfing.
08:05Surfing.
08:06You know, what about that time that Sadie,
08:07she face planted into her cake when she was five?
08:10Yeah.
08:11Honey!
08:12Look, sorry.
08:13I...
08:14I don't know.
08:15Do you think someone else could help you with this?
08:19That's it.
08:21That is it.
08:22You wait here.
08:23Where are you going?
08:24Um, hey, you should try some of the prosciutto's really good.
08:32Oh.
08:33If I eat anything more, I'll explode.
08:36Um, okay.
08:37What about some more champagne?
08:39Or I could get some water from the house.
08:41It's okay.
08:42You don't have to keep playing waiter.
08:43Just relax.
08:44Okay.
08:45Okay, I just want to make sure you're having a good time.
08:48I am.
08:49This is so good.
08:50So thoughtful.
08:55Hey, listen.
08:56If you want to talk about anything, I'm here.
09:01No, I'm all good.
09:02Yoo-hoo!
09:03Sorry to intrude!
09:04Oh, Max!
09:05I'm just looking...
09:06There she is.
09:07Holly, I need your expertise.
09:09Andrew has agreed to model my jewellery for my socials, but he's acting like a real robot
09:17and I have no usable photos.
09:19Hey, Wendy.
09:20We're, um...
09:21We're kind of in the middle of something here.
09:25Oh, I'm so sorry.
09:26Of course.
09:27You know what?
09:28I can take care of it.
09:29Um, I'm so sorry, Max.
09:30No, no, no.
09:31Wait, um, what do you need help with?
09:35Uh, I don't know.
09:36Making Andrew relax.
09:38And I thought you could have some tips from when you were modelling at the exhibition.
09:41It would be a huge help.
09:43Do you think you could just spare her for a few minutes?
09:46Um...
09:49Yeah.
09:50Yeah, I guess.
09:51I'll follow you over.
09:54Yeah.
09:56I won't be long.
09:57Five minutes tops.
09:58Yeah, sure.
10:05Lucy!
10:06Has everyone forgotten how to answer their phone?
10:09Oh, I'm sorry.
10:10It's, uh, it's been one of those days.
10:13As usual, I don't know whether to hug you or put you across my knee.
10:17How about we just be brother and sister for the next five minutes, yeah?
10:20Funny.
10:21I thought you'd say something like that.
10:22Come here.
10:23Hey, how's Mark and Annie?
10:25Oh, they're great.
10:26Oh, I hardly recognised her when he showed me a photo of her.
10:31Uh, sorry, I've got to go.
10:34Yeah, but I just got here.
10:35Yeah, uh, Leo needs me for something.
10:37I'll call you later.
10:38Oh, don't be long, because I want to run through the expo, then I want us to do the quarterly
10:42report, and then I want to catch up with my brother.
10:45Yes to all three of those, but not right now, okay?
10:48Listen, uh, Therese, why don't you catch Lucy up on the latest goss from Port Douglas,
10:52yeah?
10:57Hmm.
10:58Well, it's, um, you know, it's actually great news.
11:00Um, Agnes and Harold are moving in together.
11:04Oh.
11:09The cavalry has arrived!
11:15Apparently I'm the resident expert on jewellery modeling.
11:19Ah, you two can do whatever.
11:20I'm just going to change the battery on this camera.
11:23Cool.
11:24Uh.
11:27Sorry, she was adamant.
11:31Wendy said that you're having trouble getting into it.
11:35Yeah, this is not really my thing.
11:37Yeah, but that is why it works so well.
11:39Because you are a regular guy, and people really respond to that.
11:42Yeah, totally, and people can tell when you're faking it.
11:45Okay, so let us try again, and Holly, you can sort of coach Andrew.
11:54Yeah, um.
11:56Okay, so maybe put this shoulder back.
12:11And, uh, look at the camera.
12:17Okay.
12:18Oh, Holly, you're a miracle worker.
12:23It's already a million times better.
12:26Okay, ready?
12:28Yes! Go, babe!
12:29Go, babe!
12:32You want me to step back from the hotel completely?
12:36That's right.
12:39No popping your head in and out in between trips to New York.
12:42So you're expecting me to be a silent partner in my own hotel?
12:52No, Paul, you could never be silent.
12:56I'm not delusional.
12:58But I demand full autonomy.
13:00And what about you?
13:04If I don't agree, you're not coming on board?
13:07I always said I only wanted the job if Krista wanted me there.
13:11So I support everything she says.
13:14Yeah, this is all on you, Dad.
13:18All right, what next?
13:20You're just gonna get up and walk out the door immediately if I don't agree?
13:23No, we're not gonna do that.
13:25We will see the Expo through and give our all to the Bronze Bell judges.
13:30But after that, I want an answer.
13:36Look, I might leave you to it.
13:39I wanna make sure everything's on track for the Expo, so...
13:41Did you tell her about the loan?
13:55No.
13:57What about Lucy?
13:59I suppose you're gonna use this as leverage against me, are you?
14:02I don't want to.
14:05But I will if I have to.
14:11Krista, this is a really, really big thing you're asking.
14:15Yeah, and you're asking a lot of me.
14:23Dad, you've made it clear you're ready for a change in your life.
14:28Maybe giving up control of the hotel.
14:32It'll be a good thing too.
14:36This is for the best.
14:41Okay, thanks.
14:42Okay, thanks.
15:10Oh wait, just get closer to Andrew, and look at me, and Andrew, look at me.
15:20Oh that is so good.
15:21What's going on?
15:23Holly, how would you like to be in my photos?
15:25I mean you and Andrew, you look so good together.
15:29Um, what do you, what do you think?
15:31I think it would be a bit confusing because Holly was modelling for the expo.
15:35Yeah, which is why it is perfect, it's going to give me some street cred.
15:39Okay.
15:40Sure.
15:41Okay, um Holly, can you do your modelling thing?
15:44Sure.
15:45Yeah?
15:46Okay, great.
15:47Before.
15:48Okay.
15:49Uh, something different?
15:51Yeah?
15:52Yeah, um, my jewellery, can we do something to sort of really highlight that?
15:59It's meant to be like, you know, beautiful, love, peace, inspiration.
16:04Um, yeah, you know what, um, I think you've got a case of the robots.
16:15How about we turn you here, Andrew hand across, and then, yes, I love this, show the necklace.
16:24Okay, just a laugh.
16:31Maybe just move your hand up a bit more.
16:34Maybe just move your hand up a bit more.
16:46Yeah, I think that's enough.
16:47I'm done.
16:48No, Andrew.
16:49Andrew.
16:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
16:53I knew that he didn't really want to do this.
16:55And here I am just moving around like a lump of meat.
16:58I should get back to Max.
17:00Oh, yeah, of course.
17:01Yeah, I'd better check on my grumpy hubby.
17:04First, I'll check on these.
17:07See ya.
17:08See ya.
17:14You okay?
17:17You know the answer to that.
17:21What are you doing here, Ollie?
17:22Wendy told me to come.
17:24Yeah, but you could have said no.
17:26I mean, us out there posing in front of her.
17:28She's my wife.
17:29I know that.
17:30We agreed.
17:31There can't be anything more between us.
17:34I miss you.
17:35Holly, I...
17:36And I know you'd feel the same or else you wouldn't be so worked up.
17:38I'm not worked up.
17:39Yes, you are.
17:43Your heart is beating like a million miles an hour.
17:46Tell me that that's not for me.
17:49It can't be.
17:50Hey, hey.
17:54Hey.
17:54Thought I'd, uh, bring the picnic over to share.
17:57I know it started as a, um, as a pool picnic, but, you know, I thought it could be like a
18:01backyard picnic or, you know, a street picnic, a spa.
18:06Yeah, that's fine.
18:06We're finished.
18:07Um, what about we make it a lounge room picnic?
18:10I want to watch a movie, mate.
18:11Um, yeah.
18:14Yeah, sure.
18:16See you, mate.
18:17See you, mate.
18:27Do you think I'll agree?
18:29I honestly don't know.
18:31Hmm.
18:32It's a big risk to take.
18:33Yeah, but what risk?
18:35You know, I'm already losing out when it comes to Paul.
18:38I'm sorry if it feels like I'm gambling with your future, too.
18:41Oh, no, I get it.
18:43I mean, the man is impossible.
18:45But what are you going to do if he says no?
18:48Ask Leo if there's any waitressing jobs going at your copy.
18:54Hey, Lucy.
18:55Hi.
18:56Is Paul here with you?
18:58No, he's not.
18:59Oh.
19:00Leo's just putting Abby to bed, but he's very excited to see you.
19:05So, am I looking at the new management team?
19:10Possibly.
19:11Just time to sort a few things out with Paul.
19:14Is that where you got to before?
19:16We just saw him?
19:17Yes.
19:19Do you know when we can actually catch up on the quarterly report?
19:22Well, I'm not sure it's done.
19:24Really?
19:26Paul actually said it was.
19:28Oh.
19:29Maybe I got it wrong.
19:30Um, actually, did you want us to take you through the exploit?
19:34That's it.
19:53That's the one.
19:55Definitely.
19:55Definitely.
19:57Definitely.
19:58Definitely.
19:58Oh, isn't it great?
20:02It's perfect.
20:06You guys look great together.
20:14I know that my actions may have upset Krista, but she can't expect me to step back from the hotel completely.
20:19Let's just see what happens over the next few days.
20:25Oh, Lucy.
20:30What's going on, Paul?
20:33Huh?
20:33I just spoke to your head of accounts, and apparently you have ordered him not to prepare the quarterly report.
20:39Yeah, well, I'm having issues with his performance.
20:43But earlier, you actually said it was done.
20:45Yeah, and it will be.
20:46What are you hiding?
20:49Do you know?
20:53Come on, Paul.
20:55There's no point delaying the inevitable.
20:57Oh, that's right.
20:58Okay, look, Lucy, I, um, I've had some financial difficulties lately, and Paul borrowed money from Lassiter's to help me out.
21:07Yeah.
21:08I was just alone, that's all.
21:10Did Krista agree to this?
21:12Hmm.
21:12One of the conditions of your license is that you must not misuse company funds.
21:17Ha!
21:18It's my company.
21:19Uh, half your company, subject to the rules of the franchise.
21:24Ah.
21:24Can't you just turn a blind eye like we used to in the good old days, eh?
21:29It's not the 90s, Paul.
21:31We have standards and obligations now, and you have clearly breached them.
21:36All right, all right, all right.
21:37But can we discuss this after the Expo and the Bronze Bell judges have gone?
21:40Because I really need to charm them.
21:42Oh, charm them.
21:44You won't be getting anywhere near them.
21:47Excuse me?
21:47I'm banning you from the Expo and the hotel, effective immediately.
21:53Okay.
21:53Coming up on Neighbours.
22:09I think I might have identified the problem at Irene.
22:12We don't have enough occupancy.
22:14Lucy can't ban me from the Expo.
22:16I want that Bronze Bell.
22:18Can you please talk to Aaron?
22:19I don't know that we're going to survive the separation.
22:21I really thought this was it for us.
22:23Long distance gets to work.
22:24Maybe.
