00:01Rachel, nothing's going on with me and Tara.
00:04Yeah, I know that.
00:05Then what is it?
00:06It's just, after what happened with Kit, I can't help it.
00:09Look, you said we could move on from this.
00:10We can!
00:11How?
00:12I mean, you obviously don't trust me.
00:13Hey, it's not that I don't trust you.
00:14Well, then what is it?
00:17Well, there you go, that says it all, doesn't it?
00:19No, look, Rachel, if we can't move on from this,
00:21then why are we bothering getting married?
00:24I was thinking I might leave town.
00:26You shouldn't have to leave just because some freak is
00:28running around town lighting fires and setting you up.
00:31Besides, I don't want you to go.
00:34I'm just so sick of everyone hassling me, you know?
00:37If only there was some way I could get off those charges,
00:40then maybe I'd stick around.
00:43But otherwise, what's the point?
01:09You blokes are lucky.
01:11If the fire hadn't burned itself out, you could have lost the whole building.
01:13Did either of you see anyone acting suspiciously last night?
01:17No, I didn't see anything weird before I left.
01:19I locked up a bit after midnight and there was nobody unusual hanging around the car park that I can
01:22remember.
01:23So any idea you might have done it?
01:24It's too early to say.
01:26What are the odds of it being that low-like that set fire to the school?
01:29Well, we don't know enough about this yet.
01:31Listen, we may need to ask you guys some more questions, okay?
01:34Jack, what have you got?
01:36Found this outside.
01:37That's the same brand using all the other phones.
01:39Yeah, same brand we found in Drew Curtis' room.
01:46You almost ready? We've got to leave in ten.
01:49Would that be a yes or no?
01:51Well, you can keep ignoring me, but that'd be a bit crazy.
01:54Alright, crazy is grounding me, okay?
01:56Crazy is treating me like a kid.
01:57What if you're going to act like one, mate? You gave me no choice.
02:00You get off on this, don't you? Telling me what to do, pushing me around.
02:02I just want you to step up and take responsibility for your behaviour.
02:05And I just want you to get off my back.
02:06Is everything okay?
02:07Yeah, it would be if you'd stop hassling me.
02:09Well, from what I can hear, Dana's being very reasonable.
02:12Why don't we sit down and talk about this tonight, over dinner, okay?
02:20Hi, what's up?
02:21We need to talk to Drew.
02:23Come in. Couldn't this have waited?
02:24He's coming here for bow check anyway.
02:26Yeah, I spoke to McGrath about that.
02:28He doesn't have to come in today.
02:29We'd like to ask him a few questions instead.
02:32Oh, great.
02:32What is it that I'm supposed to have done this time?
02:34How about you tell us?
02:35Where were you last night, Drew?
02:37Why?
02:37Just answer the question, please.
02:39I was here.
02:40Where else would I be?
02:42Can you guys vouch for that?
02:43Yeah.
02:43Absolutely.
02:44What is this about?
02:45There's been another arson attack.
02:46Someone set fire to the gym.
02:52Let me guess.
02:53Bridal outfits, floral arrangements, maybe buffet versus a la carte.
02:59I think you've obviously got something on your mind.
03:01I'm guessing it's to do with the wedding.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah?
03:03Did you and Kim make any decisions yesterday?
03:06Uh, not exactly, no.
03:07It kind of got put to the side.
03:09You all right?
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:11It's nothing I can't handle.
03:13Hey, are we still on for lunch today?
03:15Oh, yeah, definitely.
03:17Oh, girls.
03:18Have you heard about the fire?
03:20It's terrible.
03:20What fire?
03:21The gym last night.
03:22Didn't Kim tell you?
03:25Oh, there's a good reason why a fire alarm didn't work.
03:28Yeah?
03:28The wiring shot.
03:30Oh, I only checked it six months ago.
03:31Uh, you got time to have a look at the others?
03:33Yeah, happy to.
03:36Hey, Colleen told me what happened.
03:38Why didn't you call me?
03:38Well, I was just about to.
03:40Do you know who did this?
03:41Nope.
03:42But, uh, Jack's onto it.
03:45Hey, you were home pretty late last night.
03:47Why didn't you call me?
03:49Well, I had dinner at the diner.
03:51Well, you could give me a call.
03:53I was really worried about you.
03:54Well, I didn't need to.
03:55You had nothing to worry about.
03:56We need to talk.
03:57Rach, now's not a good time.
03:58I've got to get this place cleaned up.
03:59Come on.
04:00Later, I'll go.
04:02Alright.
04:09So, this is good, right?
04:10If it's the same accelerant that was used in all the other fires,
04:13it proves I'm innocent.
04:14It proves that the fires were probably lit by the same person.
04:17Yeah, which couldn't have been me, because I was here all night.
04:20Mm-hmm.
04:20You wouldn't be the first kid that snuck out without his folks knowing about it.
04:23And you wouldn't be the first cop to hassle the wrong person.
04:26And how do you want to explain the evidence we've already got against you?
04:28The caracan in your bedroom.
04:29I told you.
04:30Someone's been setting me up.
04:31Oh, okay.
04:32Settle down.
04:32I think what Rice is saying here is that there's still a few things we need to chase up
04:36before we can rule you out completely.
04:37Yeah, and this means that the charge will probably be dropped, right?
04:40I mean, Drew has a point.
04:41If he was here all night, then obviously he didn't light the fires.
04:43It's certainly looking better for him.
04:45But as I said, there's still some leads we need to chase up.
04:48We'll let you know as soon as we know anything.
04:50Thanks.
04:50Okay, thanks.
04:53That's great, Drew.
04:55Obviously it's all going to work out.
04:56I hope so.
04:57The whole thing's been a total nightmare.
05:00Yeah.
05:00You must be relieved.
05:01Good.
05:03I'll see you tonight.
05:07You'll get past it.
05:09You just have to keep trying, okay?
05:10Hmm.
05:16Drew, wait up.
05:17Hey, I'm thinking of firing up the barbie tonight.
05:19Does that sound okay?
05:21What?
05:21So we can hang out as if we're best mates?
05:23No, so we can sort through a few things, like Leah said.
05:25And it wouldn't hurt to spend a bit of time together.
05:28Can Belle come?
05:29Not while you're both grounded, you know that.
05:30And count me out.
05:34It does get easier.
05:35Oh, when exactly?
05:36You've got to grab a coffee before the staff.
05:40Hey, what's happening?
05:42Oh, nothing much.
05:43Hmm?
05:45Are you seem happy?
05:46Yeah, well I should be.
05:47You're looking at someone whose charges are about to be dropped.
05:49You're kidding, how come?
05:51Well, someone lit a fire at the gym last night,
05:52and as usual the cops came around trying to pin it on me.
05:55Only I was at home with Dan and Leah all night, wasn't I?
05:58Well, so it couldn't have been you.
05:59Exactly.
05:59And because it was the same fuel used in all the other fires,
06:01you couldn't have lit them either.
06:03How do you know it was the same fuel?
06:07Taylor, what's going on?
06:16What's going on?
06:17What have you done?
06:18Nothing, why?
06:18I'm not an idiot.
06:19Did you like that fire last night?
06:21I guess maybe I did.
06:22What's the big deal?
06:23Are you insane?
06:24Why would you do that?
06:25Isn't it obvious to get you off the hook?
06:27What?
06:28You were the one going on about how you're going to leave town
06:30because of the charges and how Agro the police and Dan were being?
06:33Yeah, so?
06:33So I thought if I did it, it would prove once and for all
06:35you didn't light the fires, they'd get off your back
06:38and you'd be happy to stay.
06:40Worked, didn't it?
06:41This isn't a game.
06:42What if the cops work it out?
06:44They won't.
06:44Trust me.
06:45They're gunning to find that pirate.
06:46Stop worrying, okay?
06:47Everything's going to be fine.
06:50You really are insane, you know that.
06:52Must be.
06:52I'm hanging out with you.
06:59I hate myself for feeling like this.
07:01I just want to trust him the same way that he trusts me, you know?
07:04Well, what's stopping you?
07:07Well...
07:08Well, there was...
07:10There was a situation.
07:12This wasn't that long ago.
07:14With Kim and another woman.
07:17Oh.
07:17Yeah.
07:19Look, I understand why it happened
07:20and I know it's not going to happen again.
07:23It's like when I see him with Tara,
07:24it's like all those old insecurities just come flooding back.
07:28Do you seriously think that he's interested in Tara?
07:31No.
07:32Which is a stupid thing, right?
07:34He's done nothing wrong, yet I'm making you think that he has.
07:36Yeah, but he has to understand how hard this must be for you.
07:39No, all he knows is that I don't trust him.
07:41He has always trusted me 100%, you know?
07:46I've always been really insecure about the age difference.
07:50Thinking that he might leave me.
07:52Look, I don't think that Kim would have proposed if he'd had any doubts.
07:56Yeah, yeah, I know.
07:58And I was so excited when he did.
08:00I just thought,
08:00finally I can put all this stuff behind me.
08:03And then this stuff with this other woman came up
08:06and just hit me all over again.
08:11I'm really scared, Sal.
08:13I don't want to lose him, but what if I can't get past this?
08:19Thanks.
08:19Okay, thanks mate.
08:23See you later.
08:25Well, this looks pretty good.
08:27You should be able to reopen tomorrow with a bit of luck.
08:29Yeah, listen, thanks for your help as well.
08:31No worries.
08:33There's nothing else on your mind, is there?
08:36Nothing you want to hear about.
08:38You could try me.
08:41Um, Rach and I were having a few problems.
08:45Free wedding jitters?
08:47No, it's more than that.
08:48She thinks I'm flirting with one of my clients.
08:50Well, you do get pretty up-class and personal.
08:52Especially with the Sheila's.
08:53Yeah, there's nothing I can do about it.
08:55It's part of my job.
08:56But you can see where she's coming from.
08:58Yeah, but she should trust me.
09:00You know, isn't that what getting married's all about?
09:02Trust has to be earned, mate.
09:03Sometimes that takes a little time.
09:06Yeah, I don't know.
09:06Maybe we're moving too fast with everything, huh?
09:10Living together and the wedding.
09:13Maybe we're crazy for rushing into marriage.
09:15Well, you're only crazy for doing it if you don't love her.
09:18No, of course I love her.
09:19Well, you've got to tell her that, mate.
09:21And then the two of you have got to sit down and work this thing out.
09:24I mean, from where I stand, what you and Rachel have got is pretty special.
09:29You'd be crazy just to throw it all away because you're too stubborn to sit down and work it out.
09:36But every time we talk, we end up arguing. It's awful.
09:39I'm sure he's just as confused as you are.
09:42You think?
09:44Listen to me. Anybody think I hadn't done a psych degree?
09:47Look, Kim is a great guy. I know you guys will work it out.
09:52Now, I'm sorry, but I do have to run. I've got a meeting with Brad.
09:55Well, hey, this is on me. It's the least I can do for dumping all of you.
09:59Oh, I'm sure I will turn the favour sometime.
10:01Thank you. And, um, make sure you let me know how you go.
10:04I will.
10:05Oh, hello, Dr Armstrong. How's the damage at the gym?
10:08Well, it's not too bad, luckily.
10:09Oh, poor Kimberley. He takes such pride in his work.
10:13Only last night he was in here late with one of his clients.
10:17Which client was that?
10:18Young Tara. You know, I really admire you modern girls.
10:22You're a lot more independent and trusting than we were in my day.
10:26There'd be no way in the world that I'd have let my fiancee wine and dine another woman.
10:37Kim.
10:38Hey, I was just about to call you.
10:40Yeah, how's it going?
10:41Good. It actually wasn't as bad as it looked.
10:44Look, I'm sorry it's bad.
10:47You know how you said you had dinner at the diner last night?
10:50Uh, yeah.
10:51You kind of forgot to mention that it was with Tara.
10:54Right.
10:55Why didn't you just tell me?
10:57Oh, because I knew how he'd react.
10:59No, you didn't.
11:00Rachel, come on. After the argument we had yesterday.
11:02Would have been better than lying to me about it.
11:04Well, I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you.
11:06Besides, it wasn't like it was planned.
11:07You know, we bumped into each other and we shared a table. That's it.
11:11Look, I'm sorry I didn't mention it. I should've.
11:12I just, it seemed easier not to.
11:14Well, easier for you or for me?
11:16No, Rachel, you can't keep hanging on to this stuff.
11:18Well, after what happened with Kit, it's pretty hard not to.
11:26It still hurts, Kim. I thought it didn't, but it does.
11:30Look, we can't keep doing this or we're gonna go crazy, alright?
11:34I don't know what else I can say.
11:37We have to sort this out once and for all.
11:44I don't know. I mean, the only alibi we've got is from the family and they could be covering for
11:48him.
11:48Leah and Dan would not do that.
11:50Well, it's pretty convenient, don't you think?
11:52Maybe.
11:53Well, you're not buying that story about him being set up.
11:56Ms. Allsop, how can I help you?
11:58I wanted to report something strange I saw last night.
12:01I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it.
12:03That wouldn't have been on one of your late night power walks, would it?
12:05I had dinner with Madge Wilkins, one too many glasses of sherry.
12:10It keeps me awake for hours.
12:13Anyway, as I was passing the surf club, I saw a shifty character sneaking in.
12:19What time was that?
12:201am.
12:21Did you recognise this person by any chance?
12:26What are you doing home so early?
12:28I've got two free periods, if that's okay with you.
12:31Belle, there's no point in making this any more miserable than it right here.
12:34Well, why don't you drop the heavy parent stuff then?
12:36Because I'm your mother and it's my job.
12:38Yeah, whatever.
12:48Oh, Constable Holden, come in. How can I help you?
12:51Ms. Val, we'd like to ask Belle some questions.
12:54Hey, what's up?
12:55Where were you last night between the hours of midnight and 2am?
12:58I was in bed asleep, why?
13:00It's in your best interest to tell us the truth.
13:02Yeah, she was here all night, Constable, I can confirm that.
13:05What's this about?
13:06Well, you may have heard there was a fire at the surf club last night.
13:08Yes, I did.
13:09What about it?
13:10We have an eyewitness who saw Belle entering the surf club at 1am.
13:14Do you want to explain that?
13:24Let me get this straight.
13:26You're trying to get your boyfriend off an arson charge by lighting another fire.
13:29Yeah, look, I know it was a dumb idea, but he didn't light those other fires.
13:33I was just trying to find a way to get you guys off his back.
13:35You seem pretty worried about Drew.
13:37Yeah, he's a good guy, he doesn't deserve this.
13:40You're obviously a very loyal friend.
13:42You'd do anything to help him.
13:44He didn't ask me to light the fire if that's what you're suggesting.
13:46It was my idea.
13:48Look, I'll apologise to everyone, I'll pay for the damages,
13:51and I'll make sure of that, of course.
13:52I'm afraid it's not as simple as that.
13:55What do you mean?
13:56Belle's committed a serious criminal act here.
13:58We're going to have to lay charges.
14:05Look, when Tara came over and asked if she could sit with me,
14:08there was a moment when I could have said no.
14:11But I was angry about everything that had happened that day,
14:14and I didn't really think it through.
14:17You know, that's all it was, though.
14:18Not my most mature moment, I know.
14:21You know, I think we've both been guilty of some tantrums
14:23in the past few days.
14:26Look, I know, I know it's ridiculous,
14:28but when I see you with clients, it gets to me.
14:30It's just banter, Rachel.
14:32You know, it doesn't mean anything.
14:33I flirt with Colleen.
14:34Do you think she's a threat to our relationship?
14:37Well, that'll be a worry.
14:39Seriously, since Kit,
14:41have I given you any reason not to trust me?
14:44No. No, you haven't.
14:46Then I don't know what else I can do.
14:49Well, I suppose it's just gonna take some time.
14:53So where do we go from here?
14:56We keep working at things until we're both okay.
14:59No matter how hard it gets.
15:02Well, I'm not afraid of hard, but I am afraid of losing you.
15:06I love you, Rachel.
15:07And I'll do whatever it takes to hang on to what we've got.
15:13I love you, too.
15:16Compared to what Brad and Emily are going through,
15:17this is nothing.
15:18Absolutely.
15:22Listen, why don't we go out for dinner tonight?
15:24Yes, yes.
15:25Should I meet you back here at seven?
15:27Yeah, sure.
15:34Bye.
15:34See ya.
15:41Oh, hey. How was school?
15:43Oh, it was kind of surprising, actually.
15:45Sounds interesting.
15:46Oh, it's just Belle, you know.
15:47She's crazy.
15:48I mean, in a good way.
15:49Well, it sounds like you two are the perfect match then.
15:51Who asked you?
15:55Hey, come in.
15:56Hey.
15:57Sorry to interrupt again.
15:58Hey, guys. What's the news?
16:00Let me guess.
16:01You're here to tell me the charges have been dropped?
16:02No, we're not, actually.
16:04But you know I had nothing to do with those fires last night.
16:06But we know that Belle Taylor did.
16:08Are you serious?
16:09Yeah, she admitted to it.
16:10Which means we need to consider whether your nephew's an accessory.
16:13You don't seem too surprised, Drew.
16:14Did you ask her to do it for you?
16:16No way.
16:16So you didn't know about it?
16:18Well, not until she told me afterwards.
16:20So why would she go to all the bother?
16:22I don't know.
16:22Maybe she felt sorry for me having to deal with you pigs all the time.
16:25She made a big mistake, didn't she?
16:27Because all she's done is make you look more guilty.
16:36Is Belle around?
16:37Uh, no.
16:38She's gone for a walk to clear her head.
16:41Look, I'm no happier about this than you are.
16:43But you don't need to worry.
16:44I'm going to deal with it.
16:45Well, for a start, you can tell her she won't be seeing Drew again.
16:48She's 17 years old.
16:50I can't tell her who she can and can't see.
16:52I'm not giving you a choice here, Amanda.
16:53She's a bad influence on him.
16:55Well, it's his influence that's got her facing a criminal charge.
16:58Don't make excuses for her.
16:59It was her choice to break into the gym and start that fight.
17:01Oh, and how many excuses are you going to make for Drew?
17:03All I'm saying is that you need to take control of her.
17:05Excuse me?
17:07You're the one that's got a kid running right.
17:09You're the one who's letting a daughter walk all over you.
17:12Sorry.
17:12Look, I'm just...
17:13I'm worried where this is headed, alright?
17:14That's all.
17:15Well, and you think that I'm not?
17:16Well, that's why we have to do what's best for both of them,
17:18and that's keeping them apart.
17:20I just think that that's a little bit too severe.
17:22Well, trust me.
17:23This is the only way we're going to get them to settle down.
17:25So you're going to back me up on this or not?
17:31Someone's happy.
17:32Hey.
17:34Sorry to hear about the fire.
17:36But since the gym's shut, you've got time to come out and play.
17:40How about dinner again tonight?
17:42Hey, look, Tara...
17:43Come on.
17:43We can pick up where we left off.
17:45Things are just getting interesting.
17:47Tara, listen, I'm sorry if I've given you the wrong impression.
17:50You haven't gone all shy on me, have you?
17:52No, but I do have a fiancée.
17:56Excuse me?
17:57Well, I'm engaged to Rachel Armstrong.
17:59She's a doctor at the hospital.
18:00You might have met her.
18:00Why didn't you say anything?
18:02Well, it never came up.
18:04What about last night?
18:06What about it?
18:06It was just dinner.
18:07And the rest?
18:09You've been coming on to me from the very beginning.
18:11Well, hang on.
18:11No, I haven't, okay?
18:12I've just been friendly.
18:13That's my job.
18:13I thought you really liked me.
18:15I do like you, but not like that.
18:17I was just a game, right?
18:19A bit of fun?
18:20Yeah, no, you weren't.
18:21Did you really think you could just use me like this?
18:24Well, I didn't use you, okay?
18:26Nothing ever happened.
18:26Nothing's going on.
18:27You're right.
18:28You team jerks are all the same.
18:31Well, you picked on the wrong girl to mess with this time.
18:34I'm not going to let you get away with this.
18:38Tara, just wait a second, aren't I?
18:39Stay away from me.
18:49Belle, sit down.
18:50We need to talk.
18:52Haven't we been through that you've been a bad daughter enough already?
18:55Well, it's not about that.
18:56It's about you and Drew.
18:57Look, I told you.
18:58He did not ask me to light the fires.
18:59I thought of it myself.
19:00Look, I believe you, which is part of the problem.
19:02Now sit down.
19:09Dan and I have discussed it.
19:11And we've decided that you and Drew should take a break from seeing each other.
19:15You're not serious?
19:16I know that you really like him.
19:18But ever since you two got together, it's been nothing but trouble.
19:21You can't stop me from seeing him.
19:23I've made up my mind.
19:24And from now on, you're not to go anywhere near him.
19:27I can't believe I trusted you.
19:28You're supposed to be on my side.
19:30Look, I'm just trying to do the right thing.
19:31No, you're a control freak.
19:33You can't hack the fact that I might have my own life.
19:35Well, calm down.
19:35No, I don't even know why I wanted to be here.
19:37You're pathetic.
19:37I hate you.
19:57Hey, handsome.
19:58Hey, look at you in your dress.
20:00Yeah, I've been saving something special.
20:05Hmm, I think this is the point where you're supposed to respond.
20:09What's up?
20:11Nothing.
20:13Hey, what happened to I'm not scared of her?
20:17Tara came in before.
20:19And it turns out that she thought something was going on.
20:22And I've set her straight, of course, but she wasn't very impressed.
20:27Well, it's not like anything's going on, so I think she'll get over it.
20:30She just seemed pretty upset.
20:32Well, can you blame her?
20:33Look what she's missing out on.
20:36Oh, come on.
20:37Look, you can't do anything about it now, so let's just enjoy tonight.
20:39Yeah.
20:41How does that French restaurant in the Abbey Creek sound?
20:43Sounds good.
20:45Jack, any news on the pyro?
20:47Well, actually, we're here to talk to you.
20:49Can we have a moment?
20:51Well, whatever you want to say, you can say in front of Rachel.
20:53There's been an allegation made against you.
20:56What?
20:57I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come down to the station with us
20:59for questioning regarding the alleged sexual assault of Tara O'Neil.
21:10She's accusing him of a terrible crime.
21:12Though she said she was going to set me up, and she is.
21:14But if his fiancé doesn't believe him...
21:16You thought I'd done this, didn't you?
21:18Why would anyone else?
21:20She's lying!
21:21Will they charge him for a crime he didn't commit?
21:24And next week...
21:26You know, I could lose my whole family.
21:28Can they save his baby and his wife?
21:30And that's not his only worry.
21:32It concerns your grandfather.
21:33An allegation's been made that you were the one who switched off his life support.
21:36On the way.
21:37Next week.
