00:01I want to sell this place and move. Move where? To the city. I just felt really
00:07bad for lying to him. Yeah, I know I'm doing the right thing, just it doesn't
00:13really make any easier. I'd love to come with you. Oh, he's fantastic. You sure?
00:19Yeah, totally sure. I can't imagine my life without you. This is gonna be amazing,
00:23Hales. There is no way we're gonna regret this. No, no, I can't wait. That's a court
00:27injunction, you take Nora out of the country and you're breaking the law. Are you serious?
00:33I told you, Hayley, I wouldn't let you take my son away and I meant it.
00:57In your arms, don't let me go. I want to stay forever. Closer each day. Home and away.
01:11This is crazy. You can't do this. Actually, I can. It's my right as a father to have
01:15her close by. It's just, can't we find a way to make this work without going to such extremes?
01:21James, I'll tell you what's extreme, Hayley, is you guys are starting to take off to France
01:24with our baby. All right, I'm just reacting to what you're doing. No, you're not. You're
01:28taking it way further than that. I mean, the last thing I remember was us asking you to discuss
01:31it with us, but you go out and get a lawyer, mate. You have lost the plot. I'm fighting for
01:35my child, honey. I'm not taking any chances on you two doing the right thing. That is bull,
01:39all right? This is so not about Noah. This is about me and Hayley. Okay, you want to know the
01:43truth? I would love it if you
01:44guys took off. That way, I'd never have to see you again, but not with my son. He is not
01:47a
01:48possession. He is a baby. That's right. He's a baby. He needs his dad just as much as his mother,
01:52so you guys can't just pack up your things and leave. You guys, please. Say what you want,
01:55all right? But this is nothing but a grudge. You just don't have the guts to admit it. And you
01:57don't
01:58have the first clue how I feel. That's why I don't want you bringing up my son. So what are
02:01you
02:01going to do about it, huh? You're going to sue us every time we disagree? You're acting like a child.
02:06You're
02:06going to shove me around? You're the one showing me. You're the one showing me. You're the one showing me.
02:08Get out of my way. This is ridiculous. Take a swing. Everything's not going to solve anything.
02:12Take a look at that. What is it? An injunction to stop us leaving the country with Noah.
02:16Kim. That's my choice. I'm sticking to it. If you guys want to fight it, it's up to you.
02:21Kim.
02:32Kim, slow down. I want to talk to you. I don't feel like a lecture right now, Dad.
02:36Please. It's understandable that you're feeling emotional about this, but getting violent with Scott
02:42isn't going to solve the problem. He got in my face, not the other way around. You seem very prepared
02:46to join in. They want to take my son away to France. You have every right to object to that.
02:50What I'm
02:50questioning is the way you've gone about it. Going straight to a court injunction. If that's the only
02:54power I have of stopping them, then I'm going to use it. If it was the last possible resort, it
02:58wouldn't
02:58be such a concern. But Scott and Hayley are willing to talk this through. Oh, yeah, yeah. They were willing
03:03to
03:03talk it through as long as I bowed down and agreed to what they were saying. Oh, Kim. No, Dad,
03:06look,
03:06you weren't there. You don't know what happened. Yes, they asked me for my opinion, but they were
03:10never going to give me a choice. Injunction was my only option. They're not going to take away my son.
03:17I'm not saying that your feelings for little Noah are not genuine. Of course they are. And I'm not
03:21saying what Hayley and Scott are doing is necessarily right, but what I am saying is that on a subconscious
03:27level, you're handling this with such aggression that it has a lot more to do with your feelings
03:31about Hayley. Oh, well, I don't agree, okay? Think about it. For the next 20 years,
03:36you're going to be in close proximity with Scott and Hayley. If you really care about Noah's welfare,
03:41you won't let his parents be at each other's throats. It is up to them, too. Of course it is.
03:45But if you don't want Noah caught in a war, you have to be prepared to enter into...
03:51into peace talks, if you see my point. Yeah, well, I don't care. As long as there's
03:57the slightest chance they're going to take Noah away from me, then the injunction stays.
04:04Well, what worries me is how all of this is affecting your health.
04:07Yeah, well, that's what I keep trying to tell them.
04:09No, I'm okay. Love, for God's sake, you've had a baby, you've had a major operation.
04:15I mean, you might feel okay, but if you're not careful, it could all catch up on you.
04:19Well, Hayley's not the one that should be careful. If Kim wasn't being so pigheaded,
04:22there wouldn't be a problem. Look, I know he's not dealing with this very well,
04:25but the fact remains, he has legally got a right to stop you from leaving the country.
04:30Don't forget that. Well, sweetie, can I go? I'm dying to get my hands on him.
04:36So what if the law's on his side? Getting injunction against us, that is totally out of line.
04:40Yeah, well, no. I don't want you worrying about this, okay? No,
04:43arbitrator in their right mind would stop us from leaving, and as long as we give him access
04:46to the baby every year, it's not going to be an issue. You're right. It's not going to be an
04:51issue.
04:53Because I'm not going. What? I'm sorry, but I can't go through with it, Scott. I'm staying here.
05:13Oh, that real estate agent is a total rip-off merchant.
05:16That's why I wanted you to go, and he gives me the creeps.
05:18Well, he reckons the market's flat, so the apartment might be hard to sell,
05:21and even if he does sell it, he's going to take three and a half percent.
05:24Does he think no one will want it?
05:25Well, he didn't say that, just that nothing's moving fast right now.
05:28He reckons we're better off renting it, and he'll take eight percent of that.
05:32I don't want to rent. Right. I kind of told him we'd be happy to.
05:38I guess I can give him a call and tell him I was wrong.
05:40Yeah, can you? Sorry, I do want the cash, even if it's not straight away.
05:44Why? I thought renting would at least mean some regular income.
05:47I just don't want to leave it all tied up here when we go away. You never know when we
05:51might need money.
05:52Okay, well, I'll give him a call back then. And we have to find all that paperwork for when you
05:55bought the place too.
05:57Yeah. You going somewhere?
05:59Yeah, I'm going to go over to Irene's. Um, I haven't told her yet about moving to school.
06:03Go on, I'll get changed then.
06:04No, you don't have to come. But I want to.
06:06Oh, but I'd rather see her on my own for now and just talk to her, you know, because I
06:10haven't seen her yet.
06:11But if you want to go through the paperwork, I'll see you soon.
06:14Okay. Okay.
06:28No, that's not the point. I don't want to do it without you.
06:49Scott, I can't solve this problem for both of us. I only know what I have to do.
06:54You have to make the choice for yourself.
06:56So you'll compromise everything for Kim, but not for me.
06:59No, it's not like that.
07:01It's been nagging at me since we made the decision and Kim reacted like he did.
07:05I can understand where he's coming from.
07:07Yeah, I can see where he's coming from too. But I mean,
07:09you said yourself this would be a great opportunity for Noah. He would have the best of everything.
07:13Yeah, but he won't have his father.
07:15Does it really matter who gives him what?
07:17Well, it matters a lot to Kim.
07:18Okay, I know it's unfair that we don't get to have the life we want, but going is unfair on
07:24Kim.
07:25He wants to be a part of all of it and I can't blame him for refusing to let his
07:30son go.
07:33Put yourself in the issues. How would you feel if it was your baby?
07:36I can't turn this job down.
07:38I'm not asking you to.
07:41So that's it, is it?
07:42You're backing down to Kim and you're throwing the whole thing away.
07:45No, I'm not trying to throw anything away. I'm trying to do what my gut's telling me to do.
07:50I can't think of myself in all of this. I have to think of Noah.
07:56Well, can I say anything to change your mind?
08:00No.
08:07Hey!
08:11Let's get one thing straight, eh?
08:12Yeah, what's that?
08:14Look, I don't care what you're going through or how you feel, but from now on you don't stress Hayley
08:18out.
08:19She's got a new child to care for and she's just had a heart operation in case you haven't noticed.
08:23The other one's stressing her out wanting to move to France.
08:26I'm just trying to make a go of things.
08:27You're trying to take away my kid.
08:29Nobody is trying to take away your kid, okay? I didn't chase this job, it fell in my lap.
08:33And whether you like it or not, Hayley and Noah are a package deal.
08:36And whether you like it or not, I'm part of that package, okay?
08:40You're not going to be happy until you stuff things up for us.
08:42And you need to get over yourself, Scott.
08:44You know, I used to admire you, Kim.
08:46Yeah?
08:46The way you handled things.
08:47Now you're just pathetic.
08:49You want a tissue?
08:51You can't handle that she came back to me, can you?
08:53It really gets to you, doesn't it?
08:54I've told you before, this has nothing to do with Hayley.
08:57Why don't you be a man about it?
08:59I mean, what sort of example are you setting for your son?
09:19Tasha's pretty keen to get the money, but the agent reckons it's not going to be easy to sell.
09:23Yeah, you know, there was a couple that were on the market when we got here and they're still for
09:25sale.
09:26Great.
09:26Well, what about your grandad?
09:27He's looking for a place to buy.
09:29Your apartment would be perfect.
09:30Perfect for the brand new multi-millionaire.
09:33Well, he won't be for too long, not if he's bought property.
09:35Absolutely.
09:36It's quite small, don't you think?
09:37Oh, he's an ageing bachelor.
09:39It doesn't need much room.
09:40You know what?
09:40That is a really good idea.
09:42Can you want to buy him first, please, Mum?
09:44I don't want to think that I'm trying to call him or anything.
09:46Oh, I think I could manage it.
09:48Thanks, Mum.
09:49And thank you for being so cool about all this.
09:50I know you're really not with us deep, deep down.
09:53Not that deep.
09:54No, seriously, I know it's hard for you, Mum.
09:56As long as you don't feel that you're rushing into anything.
09:58Well, we might be rushing a little, but I love Tash and she wants this and where she goes, so
10:03do I.
10:03You are a total romantic, aren't you?
10:06A total dagger.
10:07And I'm not going to miss your dry wit, Matty.
10:10Anyway, speaking of romance, I better go and find Tash.
10:12Where is she?
10:13Off breaking the news to Irene.
10:15See ya.
10:16Bye.
10:16See ya, mate.
10:18What's wrong with you?
10:21Nothing.
10:22And what's all the staring at my brother?
10:26No reason, I just...
10:29Something weird's going on.
10:30What do you mean?
10:31Well, why would Robby think that Tash is seeing Irene when I just saw her on the beach with some
10:36random guy?
10:37Hanging out or hanging out?
10:39Well, they were pretty close, if you know what I mean.
10:43Okay, I shouldn't have said anything, but I thought I might get through to the guy.
10:46I wish you'd left it alone.
10:48Yeah, well, so do I. I didn't know he was going to hit me.
10:53You angry at me?
10:55Yes. You should have stayed right away from Kim.
10:57Yeah, I know.
10:59But I'm way more angry with him.
11:01No, I don't care how upset he is, it's no excuse to hit you.
11:03Yeah, well, right now he's looking for any excuse.
11:09Just so you know, the preliminary hearing for the formal injunctions tomorrow morning.
11:13Haven't you got anything else you want to say?
11:16Is this how you're going to be from now on?
11:19Irrational and violent when you don't get your own way.
11:21No, then don't be stupid.
11:22No, I want to know, because if you are, then Noah's better off without you around.
11:26Careful.
11:27What? You'll punch me too.
11:30Look, just watch what you say, because we have to live with each other for a very long time.
11:34Well, maybe not.
11:36Yeah, whatever.
11:37Yeah, I had changed my mind about going.
11:41Because I was sorry that I was putting you through all this.
11:44Noah means the world to me.
11:46But then you hit Scott, and now you're threatening me.
11:48Haley, I'm not threatening you.
11:49Yeah, I always thought you'd be a great father that would be able to work anything out together.
11:53But now I see that you're just going to pull a power trip every time I try to make a
11:57decision.
11:57Oh, Haley, a decision to make a...
11:58We will go through with the hearing, and we will be given permission to move with Noah.
12:03Because, frankly, I don't want Noah being brought up around bickering and violence, and that's all you've got on offer
12:08right now.
12:19Are you sure he kissed her?
12:20Yeah, he definitely kissed her, but I'm just not positive if it was on the lips.
12:24And they walked off holding hands?
12:26Well, they weren't exactly holding hands, but it looked like they wanted to.
12:29I don't know, maybe it's just one of Tasha's long-lost cousins or something.
12:33But you don't really think so, do you?
12:35No, not really.
12:37Well, I guess we're going to have to tell Robbie.
12:39But we don't know the full story.
12:40It doesn't matter.
12:41I saw how badly Scott got hurt when Amanda lied to him, and I don't want the same thing to
12:44happen to Robbie.
12:45It's all that I don't think you can.
12:46Look, you know how I wanted to talk to Grandpa?
12:49Well, forget it, I just ran into him, blurted the whole thing out, and he's pretty keen on the idea.
12:53That's great.
12:54He said, think about it and get back to us quickly.
12:56Well, that sounds positive.
12:57Yeah, thanks for suggesting it.
12:59Oh, any time.
13:00Yeah, it's all happening so easily, it's obviously fated.
13:03Obviously.
13:03Anyway, that's all I want to tell you, I'll see you later.
13:06Robbie?
13:07Uh, yes, is it urgent?
13:08I still haven't found Tash yet.
13:09Well, maybe you should try out Irene's first.
13:11Maddie.
13:12What?
13:12I'm going to.
13:13But you shouldn't be the one to.
13:14Well, then maybe you should.
13:15No.
13:16Okay, guys, what's with this secret squirrel stuff?
13:18Um, secret squirrel, nothing.
13:20Um, Maddie's just not thinking through it.
13:21Yes, I am.
13:22Okay, then what are you trying to tell me?
13:25It's about Tash.
13:28Not at all.
13:29Not even a phone call from her.
13:31Okay, thanks, Irene.
13:33Oh, no, it's cool.
13:33Just a bit of mix-up, that's all.
13:35Yeah.
13:36Okay, thanks a lot.
13:37Bye.
13:42See you soon.
13:43See you soon.
13:46Oh!
13:54Hey.
13:57What are you doing here?
13:58Just going for a walk.
14:00You too, huh?
14:01Yeah.
14:02Yeah, I'm going to miss it here.
14:07So, how was Irene?
14:09Yeah, good.
14:10I think she took it better than I thought she would.
14:15You look angry.
14:17That's because the last time I looked, Irene wasn't a 20-year-old guy.
14:20And before things get any worse, you should know I've spoken to Irene,
14:23who said she hasn't seen you all day, which means you lied to me.
14:26I can explain.
14:27Good, because I really want to know what's going on.
14:35You're not making sense, you hardly know the guy,
14:37but you meet him on the beach and lie to me about it?
14:40It's complicated.
14:40Tash, stop avoiding the question, just tell me what's going on.
14:44Okay.
14:47His name's Jonah, and he's a friend of Dylan's.
14:50I met him in the city.
14:51Right, and he's here because...
14:53Oh, that's the complicated bit.
14:55He's got the hots for you. What?
14:58Okay.
14:59He sort of, um, came on to me when we were in the city.
15:02Sort of? How do you sort of come on to someone?
15:04Okay, he came on to me.
15:06Are you telling me that something happened between you two?
15:08No, no, nothing happened with us.
15:10Honestly, nothing happened.
15:12So?
15:14Well, so I told him that I was married and that I wasn't interested.
15:18And I made myself very clear, but he wouldn't listen.
15:22What like in this story?
15:24That's why I came back from the city early,
15:26because I thought he'd take a hint if I left without saying goodbye.
15:30And he didn't.
15:31What is this guy, some kind of fruitcake?
15:33No, he's just...
15:35Anyway, I got a message from him telling me to meet him here.
15:39So you made up a story about seeing Irene and met up with him instead.
15:46Look, I lied because I didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing.
15:49I thought it would just be a lot easier if I...
15:52If I met him, told him to leave us alone and for you to not be involved at all.
15:57Lucas saw you kiss him.
16:01No, he would have seen him...
16:03him try and kiss me, and it was on the cheek.
16:08Rob, we only talked honestly.
16:10There is nothing going on.
16:14I think...
16:14I think him seeing me here away from the city helped him...
16:18understand my situation.
16:20You think?
16:21Yeah, I know.
16:23Rob, he's gone now.
16:25For good he's not going to come back and stalk you or something?
16:27No.
16:30Okay.
16:32He sounds like a creep, Tash.
16:33He's not.
16:34He's not a creep.
16:36He's just...
16:37He's just lonely.
16:39I'm really sorry for lying to you.
16:42I'm really sorry.
16:43I just...
16:44I didn't want to make a big deal of it when I knew I could just handle it myself.
16:50Okay.
16:51I've got some news for you too.
16:53Really?
16:54Yeah, it's much better than your news.
17:10Hey there, little fella.
17:12What are you looking at?
17:14You see the lights up there?
17:17How did he sleep?
17:19Um, he was pretty unsettled for the first half.
17:21I think he's got wind.
17:22That's why I'm taking boiled water today.
17:24Yeah, I heard him crawling about four.
17:26Yeah, he went back to sleep though.
17:28Yeah, that's what I thought.
17:29I just hope he sleeps through at the mediator's office this morning.
17:34I really hate that it's come to this.
17:38Are you sure there's not some other way that we can work this out?
17:46Morning.
17:47Ready?
17:48Yeah, can you take the captain?
17:50Sure.
18:17Good morning.
18:20Are we all present and settled?
18:22Yes.
18:23Good.
18:24Today we're primarily discussing a dispute between you, Hayley, the mother of little Noah,
18:29and you, Kim, the father.
18:31Is that correct?
18:32That's right.
18:32And we'll be endeavouring to find an appropriate solution, satisfactory to both parties,
18:37to prevent this matter from going to court.
18:41Would either party like to begin by saying something?
18:44Oh, I would.
18:46Very well.
18:48The first thing I'd like to say is I'm sorry to Kim for dropping the bombshell on him the
18:54way we did.
18:55I guess we didn't think it through enough.
19:01I know that if someone was taking my beautiful boy away from me, I'd have exactly the same
19:05reaction.
19:06I'd be doing everything in my power to stop them.
19:11Kim, I want to apologise for being so insensitive.
19:17The thing is, who knows where our lives are going to lead and what's going to happen in the future.
19:24Things are going to change.
19:26You know, maybe Kim is going to marry someone one day and move away and I'm not going to
19:30have any say over that.
19:32All I'm saying is that things are going to change and it's inevitable that we're going
19:37to move apart.
19:39It just might be happening sooner than anyone expected.
19:43This chance Scott and I have for a new life is something that could make us successful
19:49and incredibly happy and that's going to make Noah happy in turn.
19:57Whereas losing this chance could have the opposite effect.
20:02I think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
20:07So, I guess what I'm saying is that I hope that today it's Noah's future happiness that
20:15we're taking into consideration first.
20:17I really think that everything else, we can work it out somehow.
20:21Stop.
20:23Sorry, I just need to...
20:30I'll go.
20:37Kim.
20:39Kim, wait, please.
20:40Don't follow me, okay?
20:41I just need some time to get my head together.
