00:01Oh, don't be stupid, Amanda. We're in this together.
00:03Oh, not anymore.
00:04Tivison is my company.
00:06Show me your document with your name on it.
00:09Oh, my God.
00:11No, someone torched my apartment this afternoon.
00:14Do you really think that this is going to help?
00:16All these scare tactics?
00:17Do you think you're going to change my mind?
00:19That depends.
00:21On what?
00:22On how much you're willing to risk.
00:25You have a kid to consider, remember?
00:27Just stay away from my family.
00:29Only if you cooperate with me, Amanda.
00:32You have two days to reconsider.
00:34Other than that, all bets are off.
00:36I'm playing for keeps this time, sweetheart.
00:38Mm-hmm.
01:00You're my guiding star.
01:02You're my guiding star.
01:05Hold me in your arms.
01:07Don't let me go.
01:09I want to stay forever.
01:13Close our reach stay.
01:15Close our reach stay.
01:16Home and away.
01:31Is this meant to scare me?
01:34Why are you asking me?
01:35I've never seen it before in my life.
01:37You honestly expect me to believe you didn't send this.
01:40Josh, death threats aren't my style.
01:41If you wanted to know who sent it, I'd keep door knocking.
01:44It's not like you've got a shortage of enemies.
01:45You don't have the guts to follow through, Amanda.
01:47None of you do.
01:50Just go, Josh.
01:54Not until I get an answer from you, Amanda.
01:56You see, the two days I gave you were up.
01:59I'm back in on the project.
02:00No, you're not.
02:03I'd have thought you'd have come to your senses.
02:04Oh, I have.
02:07You're out.
02:08You're a fool, Amanda.
02:10Oh, just out of interest, where's that, um, blonde-haired kid of yours today?
02:14You might be capable of many things, Josh,
02:16but not setting out to deliberately hurt someone.
02:19You've got no idea what I'm capable of when it comes to this project.
02:23I will do anything I can to protect my interests.
02:26You will change your mind.
02:28I guarantee that.
02:32Oh, these are delicious.
02:34Yeah, aren't they, then, Mom?
02:35Special recipe.
02:36Now, go on.
02:36You were saying you were having second thoughts about work?
02:39Oh, I was just saying it's been a bit harder to settle in
02:41than I thought it would be.
02:42Well, maybe you went back too soon.
02:45Yeah, and for all the wrong reasons, too.
02:47I think money, mainly.
02:49And to escape.
02:50Sitting around here all day feeling sorry for myself
02:53with just the painful memories to keep me company
02:56wasn't doing me much good, so...
02:57Yeah.
02:59My heart's just not in it, that's all.
03:00And when I'm not giving 100% in my teaching,
03:02then it's not really fair on the kids, so...
03:05Well, have you spoken to Barry about it?
03:06Yeah, he said I could have a few days off.
03:08Dan volunteered to cover my classes while I'm not there.
03:11Speaking of...
03:12Dan, um, have you spoken to him much
03:14since Robbie and Tasha's wedding?
03:15Yeah, once or twice.
03:17I think we're avoiding bumping into each other.
03:19Even though we've had that talk,
03:20things are still a bit edgy between us.
03:23Hi.
03:24Oops, sorry, interrupting lunch.
03:25No, that's okay.
03:27I'll just come to grab their books and their notes
03:28for the history class.
03:29Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:30Hang on, I'll just grab them.
03:31Um, do you want to join us?
03:33There's plenty to go around.
03:33Uh, well, I wish I could.
03:35I got Ryan in the car, though.
03:36I'm going to drop him at Amanda's.
03:37Otherwise, I would have, so...
03:38Yeah, thanks for asking.
03:39Oh, there you go.
03:40I really appreciate this.
03:42Oh, no worries.
03:42You make the most of your time off.
03:43See ya.
03:44Bye.
03:44See ya.
03:47Didn't seem too edgy to me.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Maybe things are getting better.
04:01Who's there?
04:02Oh, it's me and Ryan.
04:04Oh.
04:06What happened?
04:07I dropped him.
04:08Who?
04:09Mark Scaife.
04:10And then I tripped on Scaife.
04:11Yeah, and yeah.
04:11Sorry, I'm a light.
04:12Oh, that's okay.
04:14Don't you think you're all burglars, or...?
04:15Oh, no, I...
04:17You just caught me rearranging the kitchen.

11:49forgotten about them it's such a shame you never got to use them after all the money you spent on
11:54them too yeah well funny you should say that because I was we're just talking to the travel agent and
11:59they're still valid just for a couple more days oh you're not thinking of going oh I don't see why
12:04not I'm I can take the time off and I'm sure Martha would be happy to keep an eye on
12:08Rick and Cassie for
12:09me oh I think it's a wonderful idea if anybody deserves a holiday it's you and little Pippa well
12:14that's the other thing she's underage so she'd be traveling on my ticket with which means there's a
12:18spare oh you mean you can take somebody with you yeah I'm just trying to work out who though
12:24I really want it to be somebody who is in need of a holiday you know yeah somebody who hasn't
12:29had a
12:29holiday in a long time exactly yeah and whoever it is it have to be good with little Pippa with
12:34the
12:34traveling and whatnot yeah somebody we both got along with would be good yes an old friend perhaps
12:42Colleen I'm such a goose the answer's staring me right in the face oh yeah I'm gonna have to check
12:48with the travel agent though about reissuing the ticket in a new name but um how exciting the three
12:54of us in Italy huh it's gonna be just marvelous it's not only wrong Belle it's bone stupid this
