00:01I'm holding my community forum for Surf Club tomorrow.
00:03I've already told you it's not available.
00:05Well, according to Tim Johnson it was.
00:07You went behind my back.
00:08Well, if you've got a problem with it, talk to Tim.
00:10I need a favour.
00:13I decided that I'd surprise you with the ultrasound.
00:16What? So you've already done it?
00:17Oh, I'm sorry. I should have known that you'd want to be there.
00:20No, as long as it all went well,
00:22you'd be relieved to know that everything's fine.
00:25Your baby's perfectly healthy.
00:26That's great news. Thanks, Doctor.
00:29Cheers.
00:30See you next time, Miss Val.
00:33What's going on?
00:34You said I should give you a call. She turned up again.
00:36So what's she up to?
00:37She asked me for a favour.
00:39You're never going to believe what she's doing.
00:58You're right in the store.
00:59You're right in the store.
01:01Hold me in your arms.
01:04Don't let me go.
01:06I want to stay forever.
01:09Close I reach stay.
01:13Home and away.
01:22No, Mum.
01:23The air conditioning will be too cold in here.
01:24I don't think this is a good idea.
01:26It's OK. It's normal. I'm fine.
01:27Oh, no.
01:27Dr. Matthews said to avoid the cold.
01:29At least let me get you a jump around and wake up.
01:30Stop stressing, I'm the doctor, remember?
01:32Just worry.
01:33We talked about this, it's good for me to get out.
01:37Oh, Sally, Dr Saunders, come and join the celebration.
01:41What's the occasion?
01:42Amanda and Scott are having a baby.
01:44She's six weeks gone, isn't it exciting?
01:46Oh, wow, congratulations.
01:49That was quick, mate.
01:49Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.
01:51I keep having a look at this to remind myself that it's real.
01:55Wow, it's big for six weeks.
01:57How can you tell?
01:58That's what I said too.
01:59I couldn't even see where it was until they pointed it out to me.
02:02Oh, here we go.
02:04You're like a bad smell, aren't you?
02:05Oh, I'm just here to congratulate the happy couple.
02:08Wow, I mean, it must be such a surprise, guys.
02:11It must hardly seem real.
02:12So, Alf, how about a bottle of your finest bubbly on me?
02:15Because occasions like these need to be marked properly, don't they?
02:18A toast to Amanda and Scott.
02:20Because some relationships are destined to be long, lasting and very fruitful.
02:25And this is definitely one of them.
02:30Hey, not so rough.
02:33You're up to something.
02:34What is it?
02:35I'm just excited for you, that's all.
02:37I mean, it's not every day you get to bring a new life into the world.
02:39Oh, cut it out.
02:40What's going on?
02:41Well, don't look so worried.
02:43I want you to do a little favour for me.
02:46I want you to be my campaign manager.
02:49Well, then you're even more out of your mind than I thought.
02:51Oh, come on, Amanda, think about it.
02:53I mean, the locals like you.
02:54You're in with the PNC.
02:55And if you can manage that after almost ruining Dan and Leah's wedding,
02:59well, making me look good is going to be a piece of cake.
03:02Save it.
03:02I've already told you, I'm not going to be a part of your stupid little games anymore.
03:06Well, then I'm just going to have to tell Scott the truth about the baby.
03:11I want it to be such a pity too, wouldn't it?
03:13I mean, the poor boy is so excited about a kid that doesn't exist.
03:16How do you...
03:17Oh, your little friend Bert from the hospital?
03:19Yeah, he agreed to help me last time I spoke to him.
03:22So when you went in there today, he gave me a call.
03:25It doesn't matter anyway.
03:27You can threaten me all you like, but I meant what I said.
03:30I'm out.
03:30And I meant what I said too.
03:32You either help me, or Scott finds out the truth.
03:36You've got till tomorrow to decide how you want to proceed.
03:40Ciao.
03:47So, Scott, you reckon you're ready for the sleepless nights and the dirty natties?
03:50Call me insane, I can't wait.
03:53Ah, which is secret mail code for I'm going to let Amanda do all the dirty work.
03:57No way.
03:58Whatever being a dad brings with it, I'm ready, you know?
04:00It's your own flesh and blood, so you just do it.
04:05Do you mind if we go on?
04:07No reason to panic, I just want a bit tired.
04:12Sorry guys, I don't mean to break up the party, but I think we're going to head home.
04:15You only just got here.
04:16I know, but Pippa hasn't been feeling very well, I don't want to leave her for too long.
04:20See you guys.
04:21All right, see you later.
04:22See you later.
04:22Yeah, see you, Mr Stewart.
04:23See you, bye.
04:24You win, okay?
04:26If you want a campaign manager, you've got one.
04:29Just tell me what you need me to do.
04:33Trust me to be over-ambitious.
04:36Thank you for not saying I told you so.
04:38Oh, you just wanted to get out of the house.
04:40I can't blame you for that.
04:42I thought I was feeling better.
04:44Can you just close your eyes, get some rest.
04:47Are you coming to bed?
04:48Yeah, I have a few things I've got to get done first.
04:50We'll just leave it for tomorrow.
04:51Come to bed.
04:52Yeah, I know, I know.
04:53There's just some washing for school tomorrow and some ironing.
04:56Pippa's going to wake up early.
04:57I want to get as much of it done tonight as I can.
05:00I'm sorry, Sal.
05:02For?
05:03For the pressure you're under.
05:05How do you start it on, Matt?
05:06I don't know about you.
05:06I can see you're doing everything around here.
05:08I'm just lying here.
05:09No, I don't want you to think like that.
05:11I want you so frustrated.
05:13I keep wanting to say sorry all the time, but I...
05:16You're just working so hard.
05:18Please don't say you're sorry.
05:20It's fine.
05:21I've got everything under control.
05:26You rest.
05:28Flynn's right.
05:28Sal's got way too much to do.
05:30We tried the rest thing, but she keeps doing it on herself.
05:33Maybe we need to get tough on her.
05:35Well, Sal, are you kidding?
05:36Well, she's got school, Pippa, the caravan park.
05:39She needs a break for a while.
05:40I said that to her this afternoon.
05:41She straight up said no.
05:43So we try again.
05:45And she tells us to back off?
05:47Then we don't take no for an answer.
05:58If I am dreaming, please never wake me up.
06:01Hello, this is what the roster's meant to be about.
06:03Well, you guys have got plenty of homework to get done.
06:05Your exams are coming up soon.
06:06It's okay.
06:07There's still heaps of time for us to do the rest of our stuff around here.
06:09So sit down and eat, please.
06:11Okay.
06:11I'm not going to argue.
06:13Give me plenty of time to get the accounts done for the caravan park.
06:15Ah, nope.
06:16Not today.
06:17We are booting you out of the house.
06:18No, I've got plenty of things to do.
06:20And I don't really want to leave Flynn.
06:21You're not going to.
06:22I'll be here and I can do the rest of the housework myself.
06:24Well, you and I are out having a great time.
06:26Yeah, guys.
06:27It's a very nice thought.
06:27And we're not taking no for an answer.
06:29You need a break.
06:30Since when does anybody ever argue about having a day off work?
06:34Seeing I still am the man in this house,
06:36although none of you seem to have believed me in the past,
06:38it's true I am,
06:39I demand that you go out on this beautiful day and have a nice time.
06:43I think this is what they call being outnumbered.
06:51So, where do you and Hayley sit now with this whole baby thing?
06:54You certainly don't beat around the bush, do you, mate?
06:56Well, I guess I just thought that the timing was finally right
06:59for you guys to get back together.
07:01Yeah, I guess.
07:03But if Hayley is the right girl at the wrong time,
07:05in the end, she's still the wrong girl.
07:09And part of me thinks if we were meant to be together,
07:11it wouldn't be so hard.
07:13But the baby has to be my main focus now.
07:16This is my second chance.
07:18This time it's real.
07:20I'm going to be a dad.
07:22Yeah, and a pretty good one, I reckon.
07:24I don't think I've been more certain about anything in my life.
07:34Look, are you sure this is what you want to do?
07:36We could always go to a movie or shopping or something.
07:38No, I couldn't face it.
07:39Being near the beach is fine.
07:41And you're still close enough to go home in case Flynn needs you.
07:44Look, I said I would try to relax.
07:45I can't switch off completely.
07:52Hey, guys.
07:53What's going on?
07:54Josh is going to tell us why we should all vote for him.
07:56Morning.
07:57Nice to see you all.
07:58Hey, I didn't know you worked for Josh West.
08:01This is a G up, right?
08:02You're not fair dinkum about this.
08:04It's nothing personal.
08:05Well, you didn't say anything to me.
08:06Well, it's not a big deal.
08:07I just like some of his policies.
08:09Like what?
08:10Well, his policy's for mothers.
08:12What about them?
08:14Child care.
08:15Yeah, so I'm going to increase the number of child care places to ease the pressure on working mothers.
08:19Exactly, and I'm all for it.
08:22Excuse me, I've got to hand up more of these.
08:24Well, I think it's time to get the show on the road.
08:30Well, good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
08:32Thank you very much for being here.
08:35G'day, Mia.
08:36Got everything ready for you?
08:37Oh, I've started to feel like royalty.
08:40Hey, um, do you want another pillow or an extra blanket or something?
08:43Listen, I know that I am an invalid, mate, but I'd appreciate if you didn't have to treat me like
08:46what?
08:47No worries.
08:49Sorry about that.
08:54Hey, how about a game of footy?
08:56Or wrestling or supercar racing?
08:58Well, how about a 10k hike?
08:59That sounds fun.
09:02Oh, right, yeah.
09:04You didn't think I actually wanted to do exercise for real, did you?
09:06No, of course not.
09:07Go on, let's see how much of an invalid you really are.
09:09Yeah, well, don't get too cocky.
09:11You'll be wishing it was a real thing by the time I'm finished with you.
09:13All right, can you just concentrate on holding the control up the right way, Grandpa?
09:16Yes.
09:17Very hard.
09:20Thank you, everyone.
09:21And don't forget, on Election Day, if you really care for the future of this town, vote one.
09:25Josh West.
09:30Well, he certainly knows how to work it, doesn't he?
09:33That's right, Josh.
09:34Listen, I've got to go to Yabby Creek to the hardware store and pick up a few tools.
09:38Okay.
09:39I'll see you later.
09:40Have fun.
09:41Oh, what a pity.
09:43I was just about to ask the father of your child what he thought of my speech.
09:46That's very funny, Josh.
09:49So, why are you so full on about being mayor anyway?
09:52Weren't you listening?
09:53It's because I'm passionate about this town.
09:56Come on.
09:56What have you got planned?
09:58Right now?
09:59Bit of baby kissing?
10:02Pack that away, will you?
10:03Yeah.
10:04Come on.
10:05I left the crate in the gym.
10:06You can put it in there.
10:07Go, girl.
10:35What the hell are you doing?
10:36Give me that.
10:38I asked you to pick stuff away and not go through my things.
10:40I thought it was campaign policies.
10:42Well, it's not.
10:42And if I ever catch you sticking your nose where it's not wanted again, you're going to be sorry.
10:45Have you got that?
10:46Yeah, right and clear.
10:47Just do the job I asked.
10:53Look, I know your generation's been left high and dry by politicians, but I'm not one of them.
10:58Just think of me as someone who's here to do a job.
11:00There's a lot of hot air in here tonight.
11:03Got something to say, Alf?
11:05Feel free to speak up.
11:06Oh, don't worry.
11:06I won't be holding back.
11:08Does that mean you're challenging me to a public debate?
11:10Of course he is.
11:11Great.
11:11And who are you?
11:13I'm his associate campaign manager.
11:15Yeah, hang on it, Tiff.
11:16Oh, problems, Alf?
11:18Public speaking not your thing?
11:19Or maybe you just don't have anything to say?
11:21He's got plenty to say.
11:22In fact, he's the one challenging you to a debate.
11:24Is that right?
11:27Yeah.
11:27Yeah, put up or shut up.
11:29That's my motto.
11:30Oh, and how original it is too, Alf.
11:32I accept.
11:34We'll be in contact.
11:37Anyway, as I was saying...
11:38What the hell were you thinking?
11:39Well, the R. Stewart brand stands for honesty and integrity.
11:42You don't want to look like you've got something to hide.
11:44No, that's true.
11:45But I wouldn't have mind having a say in it myself.
11:48I think Lucas should be the politician on Mr. Stewart.
11:51No.
11:54It's good to see you smile.
11:57No, I didn't mean to make you feel guilty.
12:00I...
12:01Look, remember when Nan was in hospital
12:04and you talked me into going to Robbie's birthday party?
12:08Well, it was the best advice that anyone could have given me.
12:12And it's not like I forgot about Nan, I didn't.
12:14But getting away for a while, it made me stronger for her.
12:18I think maybe you and Lucas should run for me together.
12:23When it comes to giving advice, I learnt from the best.
12:28You're trying to impress the people of this town
12:30and you've just blown it by teaming up with him.
12:32I'm not teaming up with him.
12:33Well, that's what it looks like from here.
12:35Well, looks can be deceiving.
12:36Well, what's that supposed to mean?
12:38Never mind.
12:44Look, all you've got to do is ask and we can stop playing.
12:46Mate, you're delusional. I'm wood, aren't you?
12:48Yeah, right. This must be careful of the speed limit.
12:50Listen, if this was the open road,
12:52you would be eating my dust.
12:53You talk too much, big man. Come on.
12:56Here we go.
12:58Here comes the night right arm.
13:03You OK?
13:05Flynn.
13:07Whoa.
13:08Come on, head up.
13:10I was getting to the sink.
13:11Just breathe.
13:12Will you be all right, come on?
13:16What's going on between you and Amanda?
13:18Well, she's a beautiful woman, Alf,
13:20but I think you'll find that...
13:21That's not what I mean and you know it.
13:23She told me this afternoon that you and her weren't really a team.
13:25Well, excuse me, what do you think she was doing here all afternoon?
13:28Looks can be deceiving.
13:31Her words, not mine.
13:32What do you reckon that means?
13:34To me?
13:35That sounds like you're clutching at straws
13:36because you know you're going to lose.
13:38I'm sure Amanda was just joking.
13:40It didn't look like it to me.
13:41Like you said, Alf,
13:43looks can be deceiving.
13:49I told you to play by my rules or you'd be sorry.
13:52Now you're going to have to learn the hard one.
13:54Josh, what are you talking about?
13:56Alf told me you tried to warn him.
13:57It was nothing.
13:58It was a joke.
14:00Oh, like the one you're playing on, Scott?
14:02Let's see if he laughs when I tell it to him, hey?
14:04Josh, you can't.
14:05We had a deal and you broke it.
14:07Now you're going to have to pay.
14:08And I'm not going anywhere until Scott hears the truth.
14:20How are you doing?
14:21Yeah.
14:25I'm sorry, mate.
14:28It's OK.
14:28You couldn't help it.
14:29You're sick.
14:30No, not just today.
14:31I'm sorry for all of it.
14:33It's not like you've done any of this on purpose.
14:36It's just, you know,
14:38with everything you've had to face already,
14:39it's not very fair.
14:45You know, since...
14:48Since I was a...
14:49Since I was a kid, I...
14:53All my life I always wanted to be part of a family
14:55and to have people who love me.
14:58Yeah, I've just gone around all that.
15:00No, you haven't.
15:04When you've given me someone to look up to
15:10and you've shown me what it means to be a man
15:12and to be responsible...
15:13and it sucks that you're not going to be around
15:20for as long as we'd hoped,
15:22but if I had to choose between having you
15:29for a short time and someone else forever,
15:31then it's not a choice.
15:37Mate, you're the best dad I could ever have asked for.
15:45Josh, please don't tell him.
15:47I am begging you.
15:48Oh, I think we've said everything we need to say.
15:50No, we haven't.
15:51I will do anything that you want me to.
15:52Anything.
15:56Hi.
15:56Hey.
15:58I would have thought you'd be too busy
15:59to make social calls, mate.
16:01Oh, this isn't a social call.
16:02No, we have to talk about something very important.
16:06Well, is this important like last time
16:07when you went on forever about nothing?
16:09Josh, Scott's probably very tired,
16:11so why don't you...
16:12Well, you know, this can't wait.
16:13You see, this is something Amanda and I
16:15have discussed quite a bit.
16:18All right, spit it out.
16:20OK, Scott, the thing is...
16:25I wouldn't want the election
16:26to cause any friction for Amanda.
16:29What do you mean?
16:30Well, Alf Stewart being such a popular guy in this town
16:32and me running against him in the election
16:34and Amanda being my campaign manager,
16:36well, I wouldn't want her to cop any grief,
16:37so I wouldn't want it to cause any problems
16:40for the two of you either.
16:41I bet being so tired again
16:42and a new baby on the way.
16:44Well, there's no problem there.
16:45Amanda can make up her own mind.
16:46Not that I think you'll win, but...
16:50Ah, well, there's nothing I like more
16:51than a little bit of...
16:52Oh, hang on, what's this?
16:55Yep, I've got a page.
16:56I've got to go.
16:57Well, it was nice to see you.
16:58I'll see you again soon.
16:59See ya.
17:02Well, that's good of him, I suppose.
17:04A politician, who cares?
17:05Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all.
17:10Yeah, OK.
17:12I'll talk to you soon.
17:13Thanks, Doug.
17:15I wondered how long it would take you.
17:17Do you think it's funny playing with people's lives?
17:19Well, you obviously do,
17:20otherwise you wouldn't lie to Scott about the baby.
17:22That is totally different.
17:23No, it's exactly the same, Amanda.
17:26Not that I'm complaining.
17:28You said you'd do anything for me
17:30and I plan to make sure that you do.
17:33You really didn't think
17:34this whole pregnancy thing through, did ya?
17:37I mean, great actress though you are,
17:41did you ever stop to think
17:42how you were going to play this
17:43a few months down the track?
17:45I mean, even Scott, the boy genius,
17:47is going to work out
17:48that you have a cushion stuffed up your skirt.
17:51You don't have a clue, do ya?
17:53This is good.
17:55I mean, apart from the blackmail thing,
17:57I am going to have
17:58a hell of a lot of fun
17:59watching where you go from here.
18:07Watch yourself!
18:09I know!
18:10Hey, where's mine?
18:11Are you kidding?
18:12Barely got these ones over time.
18:14Did it go all alright today?
18:16Yep.
18:17Are these Flynn's clothes from this morning?
18:20What's the bucket for?
18:21Um, he was just a little bit sick.
18:24I knew I should have gone out.
18:25Sal, wait.
18:25He's okay.
18:26He's asleep.
18:26Don't wake him up.
18:27Is he alright?
18:28Yeah, he stopped vomiting.
18:30What brought it on?
18:31What were you doing?
18:32Nothing.
18:32We were just playing video games.
18:34What about you?
18:35Are you okay?
18:36Yep.
18:37Rick,
18:39talk to me, please.
18:45I hated seeing him like that.
18:48And it's not just because he was sick,
18:50but because he's beating himself up about it so much.
18:52You know,
18:53I kept telling him that it was okay
18:54and that it wasn't his fault,
18:55but
18:57he sat down on himself.
18:59You have to put yourself in his shoes.
19:02He hasn't had to let anybody look after him like this,
19:04not since he was a little kid.
19:05But it's not as if we don't want to do it.
19:07Yeah, I know.
19:07That doesn't make it any easier, does it?
19:10He's so used to being the strong one for everybody else.
19:13That's who he is.
19:15And now he's lost his independence.
19:18We don't know how much worse it's going to get.
19:21If I was him,
19:22I'd be terrified.
19:41A debate strategy should be to focus on two key points
19:44that define Alf Stewart, the man.
19:46Honesty and integrity.
19:47Oh, that's right.
19:48Because even though Josh is starting to make amends,
19:50you, Alf, would never even dream of destroying
19:53somebody's mobile home.
19:55Write that down, I like.
19:57Oh, Mr Stewart, we're going to have to go over.
19:59I just can't stop thinking about what Amanda said about Josh.
20:03I mean, he can palm it off all he likes,
20:04but I know she wasn't joking.
20:06And I reckon I had him running scared there just for a minute.
20:09I know I did.
20:10Yeah, and we'll have him running scared again.
20:11I've just got to work out a way to bring that into the debate.
20:14But Josh will just say that Amanda was joking.
20:16We don't know enough to go on.
20:17Hey, you know, I don't reckon Josh is such a bad guy.
20:20He was over at our place before, and he seemed okay to me.
20:22See, this is what I'm talking about.
20:24This guy, he's good at fooling people.
20:26The only way we're going to win this
20:27is if he's totally intimidated by what we throw at him.
20:30I don't think Josh West is the kind of person
20:31to be intimidated by anything.
20:33I'll tell you what.
20:34I reckon I know someone
20:36who just might scare the living daylights out of him.
20:46Well, well, well.
20:52Maura.
20:53This is Bellingham to you.
20:55Long time, no see, Mr. West.
20:58Why don't you sit yourself down?
21:00You and I need to have a little chat.
21:06Check out the hot new Summer Bay clothing range
21:08available from selected Kmart stores.
21:11How can they watch him fade away?
21:14Losing their father.
21:15Losing her husband.
21:17This is so wrong.
21:19The only ones they can turn to.
21:21So?
21:21Sally.
21:23Are their friends.
21:24I told you I didn't want anyone to know.
21:26Will his last wish tear them apart?
21:28Home and away tomorrow.
21:30Home and away tomorrow.
