00:00My name's Colin, I'm going to be your pilot this afternoon, so if you'd all like to say your final
00:04goodbyes, we can get moving.
00:07Next on Home and Away.
00:11Livers are fixed and dilated.
00:13I'm sorry, Rachel.
00:14No, no, no, we can get her back. No, no, we can, we can.
00:17Come on, Mum. Come on, Mum.
00:21Julie, help me, please.
00:22Come on.
00:22No, no, no, no, no.
00:27The only option for Jack is a liver transplant, otherwise there won't be anything we can do to save his
00:31life.
00:36The baby you gave birth to 16 years ago, the baby I told you was stillborn, she isn't dead.
00:44What?
00:45Belle Taylor is your daughter.
00:48What do you want?
00:49I need to speak to you, it's important.
00:51I doubt it.
00:52Belle, please wait. It's about your mother.
01:29For years I thought my daughter was dead.
01:32But it was all lies.
01:34It turns out my daughter's very much alive.
01:38You're my daughter, Belle.
01:39Oh, my God.
01:42Are you sure?
01:43It's the truth.
01:45That's why I came to the hospital today to tell you.
01:48But I couldn't go through with it.
01:50I was scared.
01:51I didn't know if you'd want to know about it.
01:55But then when I heard that you were leaving, I...
01:56Are you done?
01:58Yes.
01:59Good.
02:00I'm gonna go finish my packing.
02:17Hello?
02:20Right, you're the two.
02:23Hello?
02:25Right, you're the two.
02:32Have we heard back from haematology on Jack Holden's blood results?
02:35They've just been sent through.
02:39Has LFT seen normal?
02:42We've got to get his anti-rejection levels back up, though.
02:44Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere.
02:45Hi.
02:46Also, could you page the transplant team and get them to reassess Jack this afternoon sometime?
02:53What are you doing here?
02:54Well, I was gonna ask you the same question.
02:56Well, I was needed here.
02:59Sure, Rach, but no one expects you to work after what's happened.
03:03I have a job to do.
03:05These patients need me.
03:06And what about what you need?
03:09Look, well, if we're not going to New York, I'd much rather be here than sitting at home feeling sorry
03:13for myself.
03:14I can't cry forever.
03:16Hey, hey, one night is hardly forever.
03:18Rachel, listen, you've got to give yourself a chance to grieve about this.
03:21Everyone does that in their own way, and right now keeping busy is mine.
03:24Okay, even so...
03:25I don't want you to worry about me, alright?
03:27Look, I have a few things that I need to do.
03:29I'll see you a bit later.
03:34I didn't expect her to go down well, but for her not to react at all.
03:38Well, love, she's in shock.
03:40God knows I am.
03:42Do you think maybe I should go and talk to her?
03:43I mean, she must have so many questions.
03:45Love, I'm sure she does, but right now I think she needs a space.
03:51What about you?
03:53How are you holding up?
03:56Truthfully, I am terrified.
03:59I don't know how to do this.
04:00How to talk to her, let alone be her mother.
04:03If that's even what she wants.
04:05Look at me and my mother, we're hardly a mother-daughter success story.
04:09Well, love, all I know is that Belle was desperate to find out who her mother was.
04:14And she was shattered when Kitty told her that she was dead.
04:17I have seen my mother in action before, but this is just worse than cruel.
04:21Yeah, well, I couldn't agree with you more.
04:23The important question now is, how are you and Belle going to move forward?
04:28Any tips?
04:30Well, I take it slow.
04:32Real slow.
04:35You know, she's a lot like a mother.
04:37She gets all hot under the collar when the wrong buttons are pushed.
04:41Just give her time, she'll come round.
04:44Actually, I won't.
04:46As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed.
04:49Look, Belle, I know that we haven't got off to the best of starts.
04:52And I would do anything to change some of the things that have happened.
04:55But don't you think we should give this a chance?
04:57As much as I would love to play mummies and daughters with you, it is not going to happen.
05:01My mind's made up from leaving.
05:03Well, come on, please.
05:04No, I'm not going to change my mind.
05:07Look, we have so much to talk about.
05:09I mean, like, what kind of a relationship we might have.
05:11Are you even listening to me? We're not going to have a relationship.
05:16I didn't like you before and I do not like you now.
05:19So why don't you just both a favour and get the hell out of here?
05:25Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you?
05:27No. Just stay here.
05:29As if there's anywhere else I'd rather be.
05:31Maybe we'll let you get some sleep?
05:33No, that's the last thing I need.
05:35He's been having nightmares about Zoe and what happened.
05:38But there's one thing she'll never be able to destroy.
05:41How are you feeling?
05:43I've had better days.
05:44I'm sure you have.
05:46The good news is, you seem to be doing quite well.
05:48You must be taking good care of him.
05:50Yeah, trying to.
05:51Hey, I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to call you and tell you how sorry I am about your
05:55mum.
05:55Yeah, we've all been thinking of you.
05:57Well, thank you.
05:58Now, the wound seems to be draining quite well.
06:00But we do need to talk about stabilising your medication.
06:03Well, we better head off.
06:04Thanks, guys. I'll come by later.
06:06See you, see you.
06:11I've stripped my bed. I'll stick this in the machine for you.
06:14You and me need to have a little pow-wow, girly.
06:17I've got a feeling this is going to be more of a lecture.
06:21Come here.
06:23Love, I'm worried about you.
06:25Look, I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now.
06:30Shocked? Hurt?
06:31Try confused.
06:32Well, Amanda is feeling the same way.
06:35So what, you want me to feel sorry for her now after everything she's done?
06:37No.
06:38I want you to think about what's at stake here, Bill.
06:41Look, you were absolutely gutted when Kitty told you your mother was dead.
06:45And don't tell me you weren't.
06:46That's before I found out who she was.
06:48You know, I could never understand why you two kept locking horns.
06:53I mean, it's not like she did anything to your personal.
06:55It was just a gut thing.
06:57The minute we met, she got under my skin.
06:59Yeah, well, have you thought now that maybe the reason you had such a reaction to her
07:05was because instinctively you knew that there was something more?
07:09Love, there is a bond between the two of you, whether you like it or not.
07:15I mean, when I was looking for my mum, I built up this fantasy of what she'd be like,
07:21you know, how beautiful she'd be and kind and smart.
07:24You know, even when I thought she was dead, I still kept that image.
07:29You know, and instead of the dream, I end up with this nightmare, Amanda.
07:36Okay, so she's not the mother you pictured.
07:40But she's here.
07:41And she's desperate to get to know you.
07:43That's got to count for something, hasn't it?
07:47Oh, love.
07:48Look, no one is stopping you from leaving.
07:51But whether you like it or not, Amanda is your mother.
07:56Now, are you going to turn your back on her and walk away?
08:08Oh, love.
08:10What's the name?
08:21Well, that's the name of a movie.
08:26Let's see.
08:26You're all right.
08:27I'll see you next week.
08:53I'm not exaggerating Kelly, she has hated me since the moment we met and the fact that
08:58I'm her mother doesn't mean a thing, she doesn't care, the only thing she cares about is herself
09:04and what she wants, you know sometimes I just think why me, what did I do to deserve this
09:11I'm sorry to make your life so unbearable mum, Belle, no, I wasn't talking about you
09:41Do you think I would have to hear anything?
09:44Hello darling, I'm sorry I didn't get back to the hospital to see you, I was wondering
09:49if we could have a talk
09:53Oh sorry sir
10:13Raj, you okay?
10:16Hey, you're still here
10:18You look exhausted, come on, I'll take you home
10:20No, no, I haven't finished my shift yet, you go
10:24Arch, I know you're busy but I'd be much happier if you came home with me
10:29No, no, I should stay
10:31You don't have to do this on your own, you know
10:34Avoiding what's happened isn't going to make it go away
10:36You don't know what I'm going through right now, so get off my back about it
10:39I'm just trying to help
10:40I know, and if I need your help, I will ask for it
10:50So what are you doing here, sold any babies lately?
10:53So you know
10:54You really think he could have kept that secret forever?
10:57Darling please, you've got to understand
10:59I never meant to hurt anyone
11:00You told me that my mother was dead, do you have any idea what that did to me, how that
11:04felt?
11:06Yeah, you should be ashamed
11:08You have every right to hate me
11:10I did a terrible thing and I'll never forgive myself for what I've done to you or your mother
11:15Like I can
11:16Maybe you'll feel differently when you hear my side of the story
11:19Amanda told me everything
11:21She doesn't know all the facts
11:24What facts?
11:25This is much more complicated than either you or your mother know
11:29You deserve to hear the truth if you'll just give me a chance to explain
11:35Oh that's incredible, thank you
11:38Yep, I'll get in touch with you in the next half hour or so
11:41Thank you again
11:43Okay Sue, I need you to contact everybody on this list
11:45And get them to meet me in the waiting bay at three o'clock
11:47Right
11:49Hey, perfect timing, just saved Sue a phone call
11:52Sorry?
11:53Look, I was just talking with one of Australia's top plastic surgeons on the phone
11:56And after some tugging at the heart strings
11:58She's agreed to treat some of the Burns patients from the fire, including you
12:02I've even organised a chopper to get everybody up there
12:04So you'll be back here tonight, isn't that incredible?
12:06Yeah, look, that is great
12:07Just take a breath for a second
12:09Don't you understand what an amazing opportunity this is?
12:11One of Australia's top plastic surgeons
12:13I do, Rachel, it is great
12:14Okay, but right now I'm more worried about you
12:18Look, you can't keep blocking this out
12:20That's not what I'm doing
12:20Can we drop it?
12:22Rachel
12:22I need to talk to some of the patients and just get them ready
12:25Listen to me for a second
12:25Would you stop worrying about me and just respect what I want?
12:30Thank you
12:32Look, I'll, um, I'll meet you back here with everybody at three o'clock
12:35Yeah, go
12:38From the minute I saw you, I knew that I wanted to be part of your life
12:42You're my only granddaughter, nothing can be more special than that
12:45Yeah, so what stopped you?
12:47Amanda
12:48You've got to understand, darling, your mother's always been a little...
12:52highly strung
12:52Try crazy
12:54She can't help herself
12:55Poor darling, I thought if I told her the truth, she'd fall apart
12:59What about when I was a baby?
13:01There's no excuse for what you did then
13:03No, there's not
13:05But darling, your mother was 14
13:08Can you imagine yourself two years back with a newborn?
13:12I certainly was in no position to bring up another baby
13:15So I did what I did and I've regretted it ever since
13:20But you've got to understand, I thought I was doing it for your mother
13:23I thought I was protecting her then and now
13:27You still could have told me the truth
13:30You're right
13:32Now that I've got to know you a little
13:34I realise that you're more than capable of dealing with the situation
13:39I know that you're planning on leaving the bay
13:41Maybe I could talk to you sometime
13:46Maybe
13:48Oh, you don't know how happy that would make me
13:52What the hell is going on here?
13:54Get away from her
13:55Amanda
13:55How dare you come here and feed her more lies after everything you've done?
13:59I've already lost a daughter, I don't want to lose a granddaughter as well
14:01Well, too late
14:02You do not speak for me
14:03Bella, stay out of your knees
14:05You have no idea what you're capable of
14:06Are you happy?
14:07How dare you try and turn my daughter against me
14:08She didn't
14:09I don't know what you're telling us
14:10I don't know what you're telling us
14:12I don't know what you're telling us
14:12I don't know what you're telling us
14:13I don't know what you're telling us
14:15What in blue blazes is going on here?
14:17She just bumped her way
14:18I don't know what I'm telling you
14:21You, you, get out
14:23I thought I was
14:24No, no, get out now, please
14:28I'm so sorry
14:34Belle, I really need to...
14:36Just get out
14:51First she comes over here pretending like she cares
14:53And then I hear her slagging me off on the phone
14:55Love, I understand that you're upset
14:57I'm not upset, I'm angry
14:58Look, maybe you've got the wrong end of the stick
15:01What have I done to deserve this?
15:03Her words, not mine
15:04Well, girly, you've hardly shown her your sweet zone
15:07Are you sticking up for her now?
15:09No, I'm not
15:09I'm just saying that things aren't always black and white
15:12Maybe you need to give her a break
15:14Your problem, Irene, is your way tonight
15:17Yeah, well, trust me
15:19For a long time I was anything but nice
15:21Yeah, right
15:21Belle, I'm serious
15:23There was a part in my life
15:25When I was not in a good place
15:28Especially when I was hit in a bottle
15:30I didn't know that
15:31Yeah, well, it's not something I advertise
15:33Yeah, but I bet you never lied to your kids
15:35Are you kidding me?
15:36Of course I did
15:37I did plenty of stuff that I regret
15:39But my point is
15:41Everybody makes mistakes
15:43And God knows I've made my fair share
15:46And somehow my kids found a way to forgive me
15:48And there's not a day goes past
15:51That I'm not grateful to them for that
15:53Love, I'm not saying it's easy
15:56But maybe you need to weigh up the hurt
15:58Against the future that you and Amanda could have together
16:03I don't want to share anything with her
16:05I don't trust her
16:06And I don't want to give her a second chance
16:08Love, are you sure about that?
16:10Yeah, totally
16:13Hello
16:15Well, hi Rachel, what's up?
16:17What time does the helicopter leave?
16:19In an hour
16:20But I already told you I'm not going
16:22If this surgeon is as good as Rachel says
16:26You'll only be gone a few hours
16:27Jack, you just came out of major surgery
16:30And after everything that's happened
16:31I'm not letting you out of my sight
16:33If you'll only be gone a few hours
16:36I'll be right here when you get back
16:39We're back
16:40It's as if we're playing musical hospital rooms
16:43Don't worry, we're not going to stay alone
16:44We just wanted to give you this present that we made
16:46What is that?
16:47Well, open it, have a look
16:50We just wanted to put the photos together
16:52They're not professional or anything
16:53But there's some really nice shots
16:55And, you know, we know that nothing can change
16:57What happened today
16:58But it was your wedding day
16:59And you were really happy
17:01And I think you should still be able to celebrate that
17:05You look so beautiful
17:06You weren't so bad yourself
17:08Thank you
17:10I'm really happy
17:34So it will just be a preliminary consultation with Dr Lu
17:37Until she can organise a treatment plan for all of you
17:40And then once that's organised, we'll arrange to get you to the city and back as needed
17:44I can't believe this is actually happening
17:46It's amazing
17:47Yeah, well, Dr Lu is more than happy to help
17:49Well, please thank her very much for all of us, eh?
17:51I will
17:52I'm on my way to see
17:53How is it?
17:55So you've got everything, have you?
17:57Look, I was thinking maybe I won't go
17:59Why?
18:01I've just lost your mum, Rachel
18:02I want to be here for you
18:04Look, I appreciate where you're coming from, I do
18:07Look, it'll only be a couple of hours and then you'll be back
18:09And look, to be honest, I could do with a bit of a break right now
18:14I'm sorry, it's just the way I feel
18:16Yeah, no, if that's what you want
18:19G'day, everyone
18:20My name's Colin
18:21I'm going to be your pilot this afternoon
18:22So if you'd all like to say your final goodbyes, we can get moving
18:25Yeah
18:26I'll see you tonight
18:28We'll take good care of him, I promise
18:29I love you
18:31I love you too
18:32I'll see you soon
18:33Yeah
18:36Now I want you to put this whole Amanda thing out of your head, alright?
18:39And concentrate on getting those burns better
18:44What is she doing here?
18:45Oh, God
18:46What part of I don't want to have anything to do with you do you not understand?
18:50I just wanted to see you before you left
18:52Irene told me about the plastic surgeon
18:54Nice one
18:55Things don't have to be like this, Belle
18:57No, it's too late for it to be any other way
18:59Until a couple of hours ago, I thought my mum was dead
19:01And as far as I'm concerned, she still is
19:04Okay, guys, come on, let's get moving
19:14You had us worried for a while there, mate
19:17Yeah, me both
19:19But I'm feeling much better now
19:22Thanks to these guys
19:23I'm just doing my job
19:25I've also organised somebody from the organ donation registry
19:28To come and have a chat with you this afternoon
19:29Is that alright?
19:30No worries
19:33What a tragedy
19:34This time yesterday, that poor girl's mother was sitting down enjoying the wedding buffet
19:38And now...
19:39It's a shock and I'll turn out
19:42She seems to be handling it pretty well, though
19:44Well, Kit was saying that Kim thinks she's not dealing with it at all
19:47That it's actually just a front
19:49Have we got Jack's anti-rejection levels back yet?
19:52No, but I'm heading to the lab, so I'll chase them off
19:54Thank you
19:54Well, you can't just turn off from a tragedy like that
19:57It'll catch up with you sooner or later
20:00Colleen, she's a big girl
20:01I'm sure she knows what she's doing
20:03Yes, hello
20:04This is Dr Rachel Armstrong from Northern Districts Hospital
20:07I'm just calling to check on some patients I sent up to see Dr Lou
20:12Yes, I'll hold
20:14When you think of all the lives that have been shattered
20:17Yes, and it could have been a whole lot worse
20:20We were lucky in some ways, we can't forget that
20:24Yes, yes, I'm still here
20:25What's the hold-up?
20:31Say that again?
20:33We need to put on a big do
20:35A barbecue down the beach
20:37A few beers
20:38Something to pull the whole town together
20:40Just to show them that
20:41We're neither down nor out
20:43Despite what's happened
20:46Rachel, is everything okay?
20:49I was just on the phone to the hospital in the city
20:53And the helicopter never arrived
20:56What do you mean?
20:58It was caught in a storm
20:59And they've lost radio contact
21:01No, love, that's wrong
21:03It must be a mistake
21:05They've been trying to track it down
21:06And it's dropped off the radar
21:07It's missing
21:18Will these be the last words they hear from the people they love?
21:22If they crash, there's no way any of them could have survived
21:24Her daughter
21:25Her fiancé
21:27I love him so much
21:29Her children
21:30His wife
21:32And her husband
21:33Please keep the ones that we love safe
21:36Please don't take them from us
21:37Are they alive?
21:39It will leave you on the edge
21:41Make a help!
