00:15I have to see some very interesting footage on a surveillance tape.
00:19You have to let this go. All I'm doing is protecting Kim.
00:24Why on earth would he need protection from his own mother?
00:37Hello, Dan.
00:39What are you doing here?
00:40Did Mr Hyde tell you?
00:41We're going to be working together.
00:44So, you're the new drama teacher?
00:49You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever.
00:56No matter where you are, you're my guiding star.
01:04You're my guiding star.
01:06Hold me in your arms.
01:09Don't let me go.
01:11I want to stay forever.
01:15Closer each day.
01:18Home and away.
01:21So come on, why are you really here?
01:23I'm the new drama teacher, that's all there is to tell.
01:26Sorry, why didn't you say anything?
01:28Don't get angry at Mr Hyde.
01:30I told him I wanted to surprise you.
01:32You also said you'd sorted out your differences.
01:36Do you mind if we have a moment alone?
01:42So I don't know how we've sorted out our differences.
01:43Well, I had to tell him that, otherwise he wouldn't give me the job.
01:45That doesn't explain why you're back or why you even want a job here.
01:48Look, I understand you're feeling uncomfortable.
01:50Can you really?
01:51It was only a few weeks ago you tried to ruin my wedding.
01:54And I've apologised for that several times.
01:56Okay, so what about the Hollywood career?
01:57I thought you were supposed to be filming a movie or was that a lie too?
02:00No, it wasn't.
02:03My agent let me down and I lost the job.
02:05I was devastated.
02:07Yeah, I'm sure you were.
02:08So what, you're back here to have another go at ruining our lives?
02:10No, that's not it at all.
02:12Look, I know that you've got a lot of questions
02:14and I'm happy to answer them all later.
02:16Well, I want answers now.
02:17I'm not here to cause chaos for you or for Leah.
02:20I just want to start a new life for both Ryan and I.
02:24So where is Ryan?
02:26He's staying at Kelly's until I can get some accommodation.
02:29He can't wait to see you.
02:32Is everything all right?
02:34Yeah.
02:35Yeah, I was actually just telling Dan what a wonderful opportunity this job is.
02:39I'm very grateful.
02:40As long as you two don't have a problem working together.
02:43Oh, no, we won't.
02:44I can promise you that.
02:46We'll catch up a little bit later, okay?
02:48Yeah.
02:55Where did she spring from?
02:56Oh, hell if my memory serves me correctly.
02:59Hey.
03:01Robby, you've got to stop blaming yourself.
03:03Why?
03:03It was my fault.
03:04You didn't invite the robber over.
03:06But it was my job to protect you and I didn't.
03:09Look, I'm fine now.
03:10That's what matters, isn't it?
03:12So what if it happens again?
03:13What if you really need me and I can't be there for you?
03:16Robby, it's Asher.
03:18This is Mrs. Dale, our new drama teacher.
03:20She stands next week.
03:21Robby's already had some experience.
03:23Excuse me, I'll let you explain.
03:25Really?
03:25What in?
03:26I don't, I'd sue firstly.
03:27Excuse me.
03:29Um, he's actually, he's really talented.
03:31Our last drama coach, Mrs. Temple.
03:33So, you'll see.
03:35Great.
03:35Look forward to it.
03:36See ya.
03:39Okay.
03:40So why are you really here?
03:41Well, come on, we're alone.
03:42I want the truth.
03:43Look, I'm sorry about the wedding, but I can't keep apologising forever.
03:47Okay, so why didn't you warn me you were coming back?
03:49Because I knew you wouldn't like it.
03:51And this isn't about either of us, it's about our son.
03:54When we got back to LA after your wedding, all he could talk about was how much he loves
03:58Summer Bay and how much he loves you and adores Leah too.
04:01Okay, so what, I'm meant to leave you back here just for Ryan's sake.
04:03No, it's the most important reason, but it's not the only one.
04:07Oh, there's a surprise, so come on, what is it?
04:11When the movie fell through, I had to have a good hard look at myself.
04:15And I realised that I didn't like what I saw and that I'd been fooling myself.
04:19I don't have what it takes to cut it in Hollywood.
04:24Look, I know it's hard for you to believe, right?
04:26Me actually admitting that I don't have what it takes to make it.
04:30It was one of the hardest things that I've ever had to accept.
04:32But once I had, it was also one of the most liberating.
04:37I've been chasing rainbows for so long that I forgot who I was and where I've come from.
04:42And that's here in Australia.
04:44So when I saw the job advertised on the internet, I just...
04:48I thought it was fake talking to me.
04:52So were you planning on staying?
04:54I'm looking for a flat.
04:56But in the meantime, I was hoping that...
05:00Well, it'd only be for a couple of days.
05:01And I'd be happy to talk to Leah and tell her exactly what I've just said to you.
05:07Yeah, nice one. You almost had me. Well done.
05:09Dan, please.
05:10If you think I'm going to risk what I have with Leah, because I just...
05:12I just listened to that.
05:13But you were more insane than what I thought.
05:15It's not what I was...
05:16Ryan is more than welcome around the place any time you stay as far away as possible.
05:20Got it?
05:26Any messages?
05:28A couple.
05:41Has anyone been in my office?
05:43Just Morag Bellingham.
05:44She came back to collect a handbag.
05:58I stand in line.
06:00You're probably somebody else who's going to do so I fell in the match.
06:03I'm sorry!
06:18You've read the letter.
06:21Outside.
06:35It's only you.
06:36You okay?
06:37You look like you sent a ghost.
06:38Yeah, no, I'm fine.
06:39I'm just a bit freaked.
06:40We had a break in last night.
06:41Were you serious?
06:42Oh, don't worry.
06:43Nothing was stolen.
06:44Robbie and I caught the guy in the act.
06:45No way.
06:46Yeah.
06:47It was pretty full on.
06:48Well, it's just that Robbie overpowered him.
06:50Way to go.
06:51Yeah, actually not really.
06:52Um, can you not do any of that He-Man stuff when you see him either?
06:56What do you mean?
06:57Well, he's a bit sort of down on himself for not fighting the guy off.
07:00And it wouldn't really help when rubbing it in when you've got...
07:04You got your brace off.
07:05Yeah, cool, huh?
07:06Stopped through at the hospital on the way here.
07:08Cool.
07:08How was your trip?
07:09Great.
07:10It was exactly what I needed, wasn't it?
07:11Yeah, yeah, that was nice.
07:12I've come back with a whole new attitude.
07:13I'm not going to stress about finding Mum anymore.
07:15I've got more egg on the case.
07:16And if anyone can help me, she can.
07:19Do we have an agreement?
07:21Yes, we do.
07:23And I'll sort it out with Kim.
07:27Um, Barry?
07:29I'm sorry.
07:40All right, come in.
07:41Don't tell me you've got a lead on Mum already.
07:43Um, no, quite the reverse, actually.
07:45Um, Kim, I've just been handed a rather time-consuming case,
07:48so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with your search anymore.
07:51Oh, okay.
07:52Well, how long will you be busy?
07:53Yeah, well, that's the point.
07:54It could take quite a while.
07:56Ah, fair enough.
07:57Um, well, maybe we should just leave it for now, when we have time again.
08:00Um, no, I'm sorry.
08:01You don't understand.
08:02I won't be able to help you at all.
08:04But if it's just a matter of workload...
08:05No, it's not only that.
08:06It's, um, well, this sort of thing is just not me.
08:09And, um, quite frankly, I don't have the resources to help you anymore.
08:12So, as I said, I'm really sorry.
08:16Yeah, okay.
08:17Um, well, thanks for all your help so far.
08:20It means a lot.
08:21Yeah, well, um, good luck.
08:23Yeah, see ya.
08:29Thought she was really into it, eh?
08:31Never mind, we'll find something else, okay?
08:51Amanda?
08:53Scott!
08:56Does Dan know you're here?
08:58Yeah, he knows.
09:01So, what are you doing here after everything that happened?
09:03Look, you don't have to say it.
09:05I'm not proud of the way I behaved.
09:09Sorry, it's just, um, maybe moving here was a bad idea.
09:14You mean you're moving here for good?
09:17Yeah, I've got a job at the high school.
09:19I thought Dan would have given me a chance,
09:21but I've apologised to him so many times,
09:24he just doesn't even want to know me.
09:26Well, you can understand why.
09:28Yeah, of course I do.
09:30I did terrible things.
09:33If I could take it back, I would, but I can't.
09:37I'd understand if you don't want to know me either.
09:39Well, there's no law against talking.
09:44I just don't know what I'm going to do before tomorrow.
09:47Well, what's tomorrow?
09:48I'm picking Ryan up.
09:50He's been so looking forward to seeing his daddy,
09:52and if we're fighting, then...
09:53Well, I'm sure Dan's not going to let that happen.
09:55You didn't hear the awful things he said to me.
09:58It's like he thinks I'm some kind of monster or something,
10:01but I've got no feelings.
10:03And you just need to give it some time.
10:05I don't know.
10:06The way he looked at me, it's like...
10:09Or he hates me or something.
10:12I don't know what to do.
10:14Come here.
10:18You must be some kind of knight in Channing Island.
10:21No, wrong guy.
10:22Oh, you're too modest.
10:24After everything I've done,
10:25not too many people would be as kind as you.
10:27Yeah, well, I can't pretend none of that ever happened.
10:30Leah and Dan are good friends of mine.
10:33Believe me.
10:34I would do anything to get my friendship with them back on track.
10:37Well, then maybe it's a good thing you come back when Leah's away.
10:40Do you know when she'll be coming back?
10:42Well, her grandfather's pretty sick and Cyprus is a long way away,
10:45so I'd say it'd be at least a couple of weeks.
10:48Where are you planning on staying?
10:50That's the problem.
10:52I was hoping to crash at Dan's until we found our own apartment,
10:56but he said no.
10:56I mean, understandably.
10:59I'll figure something out.
11:01Well, I can give you a hand if you want.
11:03Really?
11:04Yeah, we can work something out.
11:05I don't want to be a burden.
11:07It's no trouble.
11:08I'll just make a call.
11:11You must have been scared out of your mind.
11:13He was very brave.
11:14So, what did this guy look like?
11:16Oh, well, he's about this high, reddish-brown hair,
11:19stubble on his chin, fair skin.
11:21I think he had an accent.
11:22I think it was Irish.
11:24Okay, and so what?
11:25He hit you?
11:26Yeah, he knocked me out of the way.
11:27Oh, thank God you came out of your room when you did.
11:29Yep.
11:29Tash saved the day.
11:31Well...
11:31Oh, no, no.
11:32I didn't mean to say it like that.
11:33No, it's okay.
11:34It's the truth.
11:34No point denying it.
11:36Okay, well, I better get back to Kim.
11:41You know what?
11:43I've got to stop this.
11:45That's what I keep trying to tell you.
11:46If I don't be the skinny, funny, dorky guy everyone laughs at,
11:48I've got to do something about it.
11:50Such as?
11:51I'm joining the gym.
11:53What's that going to prove?
11:54Nothing yet.
11:55But if I beef up a little bit of self-defense,
11:57nobody's going to mess with me, are they?
12:02I reckon there was more to it.
12:05Like what?
12:05Morag said she was busy.
12:06Yeah, but one minute she's acting like she's into it,
12:09and the next it's like she was never interested at all.
12:11Damn.
12:12What's wrong?
12:13Pregnant bladder.
12:14Not again.
12:15Yeah, sorry.
12:15I'll be right back.
12:17I'll be right back.
12:23I'll be right back.
12:24I will be right back.
12:27I'll be right back.
12:40I'll be right back.
12:51OK, thanks, Dave. I owe you big time.
12:53OK, I've got a name and an address. She's calling herself Lorraine Robinson.
12:55Now, aren't you getting a little bit ahead of yourself?
12:57Hey, this has to be Mum. OK, Dad and Tom Anderson both said she changed her name, remember?
13:01Yeah, but...
13:01And why else would Dad be giving her a box full of Mum's stuff?
13:04You OK to drive? My leg's still not off for the long distances.
13:06Oh, no, no, no, hang on. Isn't it illegal to get people's details like that?
13:09If you broke up, you and your mate at the RTA could get into serious trouble.
13:12Well, Hayley, this is the only lead I've got. I have to follow it.
13:13Yeah, but if she has changed her name, how come your Dad still knows how to get in contact with
13:16her?
13:17It's probably just a relative of hers or something.
13:18Well, then, even if it is, I still want to meet her.
13:20Come on, let's go.
13:23Let's go.
13:26That's it. That's her car.
13:28If you have any doubts, it's not too late to back out.
13:30No, it's now or never.
13:58Yes?
14:00Hi, are you? I'm Kerry Hard.
14:04Who's asking?
14:06I'm Kim Hard.
14:09I think you might be my mother.
14:16So, Kerry Hard is your real name?
14:19I don't go by that name anymore.
14:21I prefer not to be reminded of it.
14:23But you are Kim's mum, right?
14:24Because we've been trying to find you for weeks.
14:26What do you want?
14:27Well, to meet you, to get to know you.
14:29Well, didn't your Dad explain?
14:30I want nothing to do with you.
14:33But you don't even know me.
14:37Well, I'm Hayley, Kim's girlfriend.
14:40We're having a baby, so you're going to be your grandmother.
14:43What on earth would make you think I'd be interested in that?
14:45I have a good husband, good kids, a whole other family.
14:49They know nothing about you or your father,
14:51nothing about my past, and that's the way it's going to stay.
14:54I just thought...
14:55Well, you're wrong.
14:57If I wanted to contact you, I would have.
15:00He's your son.
15:01Don't you think you owe him an explanation?
15:02I owe him nothing.
15:04Hayley, come on, don't you?
15:05No, no, no, hang on.
15:05Ten minutes after 15 years, is that asking too much?
15:08Yes, it is.
15:09Hayley, come on.
15:12Kim, I left you when you were a baby.
15:15Surely that makes my position clear.
15:17You're dead to me.
15:18Do not come back here again.
15:28Oh, it's perfect.
15:30I'll take it.
15:31Excellent.
15:32Oh, thank you so much for doing this.
15:34Hey, all I did was make a phone call.
15:36Oh, you owe him the commission.
15:39Well, if you'd like to meet me back at the office,
15:40we can take care of the paperwork.
15:42Yeah, we'll see you there.
15:43And thanks for working this late in the day as well.
15:45Yep.
15:49See?
15:49It's all about who you know.
15:51Yeah, I'm beginning to realise that.
15:54Listen, I know that you and Dan are close,
15:56so if you'd prefer, he doesn't need to know that you helped me.
15:59Well, Dan's not going to mind.
16:00I mean, Ryan's going to be living here as well, isn't he?
16:02That's right.
16:03Well, there's no reason why we can't be friends.
16:06Well, if that's the case, then let me thank you properly.
16:09I'd love to shut you dinner tonight.
16:10No, you don't have to do that.
16:11No, I said I'd love to.
16:13Look, let's say an hour,
16:15and I'm not going to take no for an answer.
16:17Well, I can't argue with that, can I?
16:22Yeah, she literally thought she could stay with us.
16:24Can you imagine?
16:25I can imagine Leah exploding at the suggestion.
16:27Yeah, exactly.
16:28I mean, this is what terrifies me about Amanda.
16:30She has absolutely no grasp on normality,
16:32because a normal person wouldn't even show their face in town again,
16:35let alone move here.
16:36Well, maybe she's mentally ill.
16:38No, no, she might have a personality disorder or something.
16:41Congratulate me.
16:42Oh, congratulations.
16:43What for?
16:44Alison Free has just given me the big thumbs up
16:46to go back to work at the end of the week.
16:47Isn't that a bit soon?
16:49No, no, I'll take it easy, I promise.
16:50No repeats of last week.
16:52Yeah, well, OK, as long as you're sure.
16:54I am.
16:55Now, what did I miss?
16:57Well, Sally here has just diagnosed Amanda
16:59with a personality disorder.
17:00Oh, she's causing troubles already.
17:02Yeah, of course, done with a smile on her face.
17:03It's just classic Amanda.
17:05She draws all the attention to herself,
17:07hooks people in and sucks them dry.
17:09An emotional vampire.
17:10An emotional vampire with a personality disorder.
17:13Well, it's not funny.
17:14I'll make sure I don't fall for her tricks again,
17:16but I pity the poor bloke who does.
17:46I'm just having a quiet, didn't I?
17:47So, I'm not here to attack you.
17:53I just wanted to tell you I know about Mum.
17:55I know the truth.
17:57I went to see her today.
18:00I'm sorry.
18:01I don't understand.
18:02I saw you give her the box and I tracked down her car
18:06and I found out where she was living and the name she was using.
18:10You went there.
18:16She was, um...
18:21I'm sorry, Dad.
18:22I should have listened to you.
18:27I understand now why you didn't want me to see her.
18:29You were trying to protect me.
18:31That's what I was telling you all along.
18:32Yeah, I know.
18:34I'm sorry.
18:36You won't try to see her again?
18:39No.
18:41Believe me, if I saw her in the street, I'd walk straight past her.
18:45I'm sorry, son.
18:47I should have told you the whole story a long time ago.
18:49It's just...
18:51Some things are too hard to say.
18:55Yeah, it's OK.
18:56I don't think I would have believed you
18:57if I hadn't heard it from her own mouth anyway.
19:04Hi.
19:05I've got to get back to Hayley, sir.
19:14I told you not to ring me.
19:17I've just spoken to Kim.
19:18You promised me it would be safe.
19:21I had no idea you'd see us.
19:23You let him think you were Kerry?
19:24What was I supposed to do?
19:25Tell him, no, I'm your Auntie Lorraine,
19:28whom you have never heard of.
19:29Whatever you said, he was devastated.
19:31I didn't have time to write speeches.
19:33He just turned up on the doorstep.
19:35That doesn't matter now.
19:37Whatever it is, he bought it.
19:39Well, just tell me we're out of danger
19:41and I will not be hearing from you for a very long time.
19:43Secret safe.
19:45I won't bother you again.
19:53From now on, it's goodbye, Clark Kent.
19:56Hello, Superman.
19:57From one workout in the gym, he thinks.
19:59I'm serious.
20:00Yeah, well, that's what I'm worried about, man.
20:02What?
20:02Well, being a bloke doesn't mean
20:03muscling up and whacking other guys.
20:05That's what I keep trying to tell him.
20:06I'm not going to go around looking for fights.
20:08I just want to know next time I run into a burglar
20:10that I can do the knocking around.
20:11Unless he's got a gun or a knife.
20:13My booking awaits and here's my new motto.
20:15No more victim.
20:17To be honest, Rob, it just makes me want to hit you.
20:21What do you think I should do?
20:23Well, in my experience,
20:25Rob just has to learn the hard way.
20:29Thank you, man, to standing you up.
20:31No, well, she sent me a text saying she was running late,
20:33but it doesn't take 40 minutes
20:35to get here from two streets away.
20:38We're going to find out.
20:39See you later.
20:39Yep, see you.
20:48Amanda?
20:49Hello, is anyone here?
21:02You okay?
21:03Oh, my God.
21:05What happened?
21:13It's suddenly clear.
21:17I will always
21:19lead you here.
21:22Hold me in your arms.
21:24Don't let me go.
21:26I want to stay forever.
21:30Close on each day.
21:33Home and away.
21:38Forever.
