00:01After all the effort we put into setting it up, you know, organising counsellors, it feels like a huge let
00:08down.
00:08Helpline may as well not even exist. Maybe I got it wrong.
00:12Maybe there isn't anyone out there who needs it.
00:17I don't believe this.
00:19After all the trouble you've caused, you're still getting wasted.
00:21You leave me alone.
00:22You know, after everything you said to Kid, you go and hurt her.
00:25You don't know anything about me and Kid.
00:26I know she's about to walk out on you and that's exactly what you deserve.
00:29Yeah, well that's not true, Kid loves me.
00:31You know what, you're never going to see my kid or her ever again.
00:34Leave me alone.
00:37It's my girl, it's my baby.
00:40I go away, I'm going to find a safe place.
00:43Everything's going to be okay.
00:44He'll come home and I'll stop him because I'll be strong enough, I'm bigger than him.
00:50You alright, what's going on?
00:52You're never going to leave me.
00:59I've got to keep them out and no one can harm us.
01:02James, what are you saying?
01:04You heard me!
01:05James, please calm down.
01:07I just want to know what's going on.
01:09What are you trying to do?
01:11You can't go anywhere without me.
01:15You can't leave with my baby.
01:18Your baby?
01:19He'll come for you this time, but it's alright.
01:22I'll be ready.
01:24You can't go anywhere without me.
01:27James, it's not your baby, remember?
01:29Kim's the father.
01:32See, that's where he's got it all wrong.
01:34That's where he's completely delusionised everything.
01:38It's so obvious now.
01:40He's been lying to us from the start.
01:46Have you been smoking again?
01:47No, of course not.
01:49I'm completely straight.
01:50That's why everything is so crystal clear.
01:54Okay.
01:55Well then, you're having some kind of withdrawal
01:58because you're not making any sense.
01:59Look at this place.
02:02That's because Kim's trying to take you and my baby away from us.
02:08We're safe now.
02:11We can be together.
02:13And you don't have to worry anymore.
02:16We can be together.
02:18We can be together.
02:20We can be together.
02:35We need to remain in the living room.
02:38We're already in the living room.
02:51Summer Bay Helpline. Hello? Hello? Look, if you're listening, this line's only open till
03:01five, but please call back tomorrow. Hello? Okay, I'm hanging out.
03:11Wait. Please don't hang up.
03:21If I fall asleep, you wake me up, okay? I can't afford to let my guard down.
03:28Maybe you should sleep. I'll keep watch, I promise.
03:33No. No, he'll trick you too easily. I know you can't help it, but he'll get into your head.
03:42Who are you waiting for? Kim's not coming over.
03:44Shh. Get quiet. James, this is ridiculous. I'm not sitting here while you're out of your tree.
03:51Kim, stay down. Don't touch me. Don't make me hurt you. Look, I'm sorry, but this is the only
03:59way I can protect you. You and the baby are safe in here. Please just sit down. I don't
04:07want to have to hurt you. If you go outside, I'll lose you forever.
04:21Shit, it's them. Keep down.
04:22Guys, come on, open the door. Kim?
04:28You're still away from Kim! I know who you really are!
04:31Matilda, get help now!
04:42I don't know why I'm calling. I just... I'm not sure what to say.
04:48Why don't you start by telling me your name?
04:52Lily. Hi, Lily. My name's Cassie.
04:56You're the one in the paper.
04:58Yeah, yeah, that's right. But look, I don't know if you've read the article, but I'm actually
05:02not one of the counsellors here. You have to call between nine and five to talk to someone
05:06qualified. Lily? Lily, are you still there?
05:12I shouldn't be calling. Why? What's going on? You sound scared.
05:17If he comes home and finds me talking, he's going to flip out.
05:21Cassie?
05:23Lily, look, I'm really sorry. I have to go, but can you call back tomorrow?
05:27No, when I rang today, a man answered. I only want to speak to a girl.
05:33Look, I'm really sorry. I have to go. I'm not supposed to be talking to you.
05:36But it's you I wanted to speak to.
05:38Cass?
05:40Um.
05:42Okay, listen, have you got a pen?
05:44Write down my mobile number and call me later, okay?
05:48Cass?
05:56What are you doing? Did you hear me calling?
05:58Yeah, sorry. I dropped my phone onto the desk and I was stuck under there trying to get it.
06:02Come on, I thought you'd fallen into a black hole.
06:10He was just smoking a joint just out in the open.
06:13Yeah.
06:14After everything that it's been through today.
06:16Well, he obviously needed it.
06:17Did he? So you didn't explain why?
06:19What's to explain? I mean, the guy's sitting there with a joint in his mouth, so I had a go
06:23with him and then he ran off down the beach.
06:25The guy's in danger of losing his job. Things are bad enough without you having a go at him.
06:28What do you think?
06:29Look, I don't like the guy.
06:30And after today, he's not only alive, but he's got some serious issues as well.
06:33What do you mean?
06:34Well, the way he handled it when I came up to him. He was like, he was a different person
06:37or something. He just flipped out.
06:38Well, he was probably scared that you were going to attack him, Kim. You should have left him alive.
06:41The guy's sitting there doing the exact same thing that has caused all these problems.
06:45Guys, you have to help Kit.
06:46Well, what's wrong?
06:47James has got a lot in the house and he won't come in.
06:49You're insane!
06:51He came here to spy on us. Can't he see that? He'll be back again to brainwash us all into
06:58thinking that it's not my baby.
07:01Kim is a friend, James. He's not evil. He cares the same way that Rachel cares.
07:06Oh, he's got you all fooled. I've seen him laughing behind our backs.
07:11You have got to stop this.
07:12That was him before. Acting all innocent, knocking on the door.
07:16That was Matilda. You're paranoid.
07:19You're not listening to me!
07:24I'm trying to help us.
07:27Well, then think of the baby and stop yelling at me.
07:32Kit, Kit, Kit, what's wrong?
07:35I need to go to the hospital, James.
07:37James!
07:39James, open up!
07:40What are you doing? You could make things worse for Kit. You need to calm down while we figure this
07:43out.
07:43Why is he doing this? What's wrong with him?
07:45It could be a psychotic episode because he's been dependent on Dove for so long.
07:50Well, what if he hurts Kit?
07:51That's why we have to get in there before he does.
07:52Hey, hang on.
07:54Should we call the police?
07:55Let me try talking to him first. If that doesn't work...
08:00James?
08:02It's Rachel.
08:03Can we talk?
08:04You...
08:05I don't believe a word you say.
08:08You're never going to get Kit. Did you hear me?
08:13Hello?
08:14Oh, hey, Dan. I thought that was you behind us.
08:16I have a spread staffing crew that I've already didn't know if he needed it over the weekend.
08:19Oh, he probably won't, but thank you.
08:22How'd the helpline go today? Did you get any calls in the end?
08:25Um, no, none.
08:26Oh, not to worry. I'm sure once the word gets out, the phones won't stop.
08:30Let's talk about timing.
08:35Hello?
08:37Hello?
08:38Please, you've got to help me, Cassie. He's doing it again.
08:41Who? What's he doing?
08:43My boyfriend. He's... Oh, my God.
08:46Lily, what is it? What's he doing?
08:47He's back. He just got back.
08:50Lily, just calm down.
08:52Lily?
08:54Hello?
09:03Yeah, we've been wondering how Peter's going.
09:06Yeah, he's still chatting as you can speak.
09:10Is everything all right?
09:12You're not going to like this, but I have to tell you something.
09:15We can be a family.
09:16James, all I want is for us to sit down and talk.
09:18We'll get a car. We'll go up north.
09:20There's places I know that we can stay.
09:22What if this goes on, the harder it's going to be for you to come out of this all right?
09:24Just a chance to be ourselves, where there's no one to mess with our heads.
09:27I haven't called the police yet, Bill.
09:28Why don't you open the door before we're forced to do that?
09:31What do you think?
09:31Can we try?
09:33I just saw the windows are locked and covered up. I can't see a thing.
09:35So I've been answering Rachel.
09:37What was that?
09:39Kit?
09:40Kit, are you all right?
09:41She's sick and it's all your fault!
09:44You made this happen!
09:45Kit?
09:46Oh, Rachel, my head hurts.
09:48James, you need to open the door. You need to let us help Kit.
09:51Let's call Jack. We need the police.
09:52You call the police and I'll never let her out, I swear!
09:56Just let me try.
09:57Right, come on.
09:58Just let me try.
10:00James!
10:01James, come on!
10:02Please.
10:04I'm so sorry.
10:06I can't let them take you.
10:14I did make it clear that only qualified counsellors can enter that phone.
10:17I know, I'm sorry.
10:18You need to give out your private mobile number so she can call you back.
10:20Yeah, look, she was scared, okay? I didn't think it would hurt just to listen to her.
10:23Those guidelines are there for a reason, Cassie.
10:25Yeah, I know I've stuffed up, okay? But Lily needs help, so can we please just focus on that?
10:30Did you say what her problem is?
10:32It sounded like her boyfriend's hitting her.
10:33Are you sure that's what it was?
10:35Well, no, but she sounded really scared of him.
10:37Alright, do you have her number?
10:39Came up as a private caller.
10:41Okay, well, there's not much we can do about her now until she at least rings back.
10:44Well, can't we try to find her? Call the police or something?
10:46Well, there's not much the police can do either if they can't follow it up.
10:48You know, without a phone number or a surname or an address.
10:51Don't worry. We know that you're only trying to help her.
10:53You're going to have to stick to the rules if you want to do that.
10:55Which means if she does call back, you'll let me know immediately.
10:58I will, I swear.
10:59This is real. This is real. This is real. This is real.
11:02James, I know you think that we're the enemy, but believe me, your thoughts aren't real.
11:07This is real. I know what's real. This is real.
11:09James, turn around and look at Keith.
11:11I know what's real.
11:11You're a nurse. Tell me what you think is going to happen if she doesn't get help soon.
11:15When are you going to admit you're talking to a lunatic? He's not going to be reasonable.
11:18He's not a lunatic. He's having a bad trip. He can be torn down.
11:20Yeah, and what if it's too late? Kit needs help.
11:22I'm calling the police.
11:24James, you need to open the door. Open the door and this nightmare can end.
11:29I'll get help for Kit and for you. That's a promise.
11:32Please open the door. I don't know why you're doing this. This isn't your baby.
11:36Stop poisoning her!
11:39You're the ones that are making her sick!
11:45That's it. That's it. I'm going.
11:46Hey, hey, what are you doing? You're a bird, Kit!
11:53Kit? Kit, you're going to be alright. We're going to get you to hospital, okay?
11:56You okay? Did he hurt you?
11:58No, I was worried about the baby.
12:01I stopped by Rachel Armstrong. I need two ambulances to 33 Saxon Avenue, Summer Bay.
12:06The first patient is 30 weeks pregnant. She's suffering a severe headache.
12:16Lily?
12:17Yeah, it's me.
12:19What happened? Are you okay?
12:20I don't know if I should be telling you this if he finds out.
12:25It's okay. You can trust me.
12:27How do I know you're not just saying that?
12:29Because I've been through it too, and I know how scary it is.
12:33He's asleep, but I don't want to keep talking in case he wakes up.
12:39Okay, do you live in Summer Bay?
12:41Yeah, Short Street.
12:43Okay, then let's meet up somewhere.
12:46Lily? Is that a problem?
12:48I'll meet you, but only if you promise me that you're going to come alone.
12:52I don't want anyone else to know about this.
12:57It's okay. Like I said, you can trust me.
13:12Lily?
13:15I wasn't sure you'd be here.
13:17Of course I'm here. I'm worried about you.
13:23Lily, is your boyfriend hurting you?
13:29Lily, it's okay.
13:35Did he do that?
13:37But it's not how you think. It's not that bad.
13:40Yes, it is, Lily. This shouldn't happen at all. Ever.
13:43That's easy for you to say, but...
13:46Look, you've done the right thing by coming here, okay?
13:49Come with me now and we can get help.
13:55Who's that?
13:58No, Dan, just wait a minute.
14:00You promised me that you'd come alone.
14:01You said I could trust you.
14:03You can. You can. Lily, wait.
14:07Dan, why didn't you stay in the car?
14:09She saw me, Cass. I needed to explain it.
14:11Well, I told you she doesn't want to talk to a man.
14:13I just needed some time to talk her around.
14:14Okay, look, it's just a setback, all right?
14:16A setback?
14:17This is more than a setback.
14:18She thinks I lied to her.
14:20We probably won't hear from her again now.
14:29You did the right thing by telling me, Cassie,
14:31no matter how bad you feel right now.
14:33How could it be the right thing when your plan totally backfired?
14:35Well, I think the point that Dan's trying to make
14:37is that you still did a noble thing by reaching out to her.
14:40Yeah, so what?
14:41What good is it if she's still being abused?
14:43If Lily ran off, then maybe she's not ready to be facing
14:46what's happening to her.
14:47She is. That's why she called the helpline.
14:49With conditions.
14:51Conditions that aren't going to help you or her.
14:55It doesn't matter now anyway, okay?
14:57She's probably never going to call me ever again.
14:59Okay, well, if she does, it's crucial that you let me know straight away.
15:03But tell her she can only speak to a counsellor.
15:06Otherwise you're putting Lily and yourself in danger.
15:08Yeah, I know that.
15:11Cassie, I need your word that you're not going to try
15:13and deal with this on your own again.
15:17Cassie.
15:17Okay.
15:24Hey, how is he?
15:26Oh, sedation kicked him before he arrived.
15:29But you were right, it was a drug-induced psychosis.
15:31His blood's tested positive for cannabis.
15:33But he's settled and rational now, so if you want to talk to him...
15:37Yeah.
15:37Go ahead.
15:38Yeah, thanks.
15:47I'm so, so sorry.
15:51I didn't know what I was doing.
15:52It was the drugs, James.
15:54I know that you weren't in control.
15:57That's no excuse that doesn't make it okay.
16:01I need to see Kit.
16:02I have to explain.
16:04I don't think that's such a good idea.
16:05She was really shaken up.
16:07I think you should give that some time.
16:09I have to...
16:10I have to explain to her, Rach.
16:13Please, can you ask her for me?
16:17Rach, come on.
16:17You can't seriously expect her to go in there.
16:19Kim, it's not your call.
16:21How can I even ask her to her to what they did?
16:23Exactly.
16:24Well, he...
16:24He wants a chance to explain.
16:29Kit, what would you like to do?
16:33No, I can't not yet, sorry.
16:36Well, I'll let him know.
16:40Can I give you a lift on?
16:51I kind of guessed after you took so long.
16:54But I was still hoping.
16:57Are they treating her for hypertension?
16:59Ah, she hasn't been admitted to hospital, so she's gone home.
17:04What else can I expect after I treated her so badly?
17:09She'll never forgive me.
17:13Well...
17:14Maybe after she's had some time to think.
17:16Who knows?
17:18All I've done is just ruin our relationship.
17:24I trashed our house.
17:27I trashed our friendship.
17:32It's never gonna be the same again.
17:34Hey.
17:35You had a cannabis-induced psychosis.
17:39You know it yourself.
17:40With the right treatment and counselling, you can beat this.
17:42What's the point?
17:45The kid's already given up on me.
17:49Why should I bother?
17:51Listen to me.
17:52You don't deserve this.
17:54You have a problem, yes.
17:57But we can work through this.
18:00I'm not gonna give up on you, James.
18:02Alright?
18:08Okay.
18:09Yeah, we just got home, so the place is still a mess.
18:11Okay.
18:12See you soon.
18:13Bye.
18:15Tony's on his way home.
18:16What'd you say?
18:17He's worried about you, but I told him that you're okay.
18:21I feel like calling mum.
18:22Do you want to speak to her?
18:23Yeah, I do.
18:25Maddie, let me tell her about James.
18:27I don't want her to worry.
18:29Come on.
18:33Thank you, kid.
18:35Yeah, no problem.
18:36Listen, most of this stuff is fixable.
18:37It's not a problem.
18:38No, for today.
18:41I just...
18:41I wanted to believe that James had changed.
18:43I'm an idiot.
18:45Kid, look, the guy was lying to you.
18:47You know, it's not your fault.
18:48Okay?
18:58Hey there.
18:59Hey.
18:59Hey.
18:59Where'd she get to?
19:00I woke up early.
19:02Yeah, no kidding.
19:02I didn't hear you leave.
19:04Yeah, I had a surf and then went and checked on Kit.
19:06Oh, how is she?
19:07She's okay.
19:08She's okay.
19:08Still a bit shaky, but she's, yeah, a bit better.
19:10Did she sleep all right?
19:11No, not really.
19:12Still pretty worried about James turning up on her doorstep.
19:15But, um, I think once he's in the psych ward, she'll be better.
19:19Oh, he's not actually going to be transferred to psych.
19:22How come?
19:24I've decided to take him on as a patient.
19:27Rachel, you can't be serious.
19:28The guy's crazy.
19:29No, he's got a drug problem.
19:30He doesn't have a psychiatric problem.
19:31I don't care what you want to call it, Rachel.
19:32After what he did to Kit, he should be locked up.
19:34Well, in the meantime, you're staying here.
19:37I can't believe this.
19:38Why do you want to help this guy?
19:39Because I'm a doctor and he's a colleague who needs help.
19:42So I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he gets it.
20:02Lily?
20:03Hi.
20:04Hi.
20:06I'm so glad that you've called me again.
20:08I'm so sorry for letting you down last night.
20:12I wanted to help you.
20:13That's all, I swear.
20:16Was everything okay when you got home?
20:22Lily, please talk to me.
20:24You said I could trust you.
20:26You can this time.
20:27I mean it.
20:28Who was the guy in the car?
20:31He's my teacher.
20:32He's a counsellor here at the school.
20:33He's really good.
20:34Cassie.
20:36Who are you talking to?
20:38Um, it's Matilda.
20:40We're going to catch up for coffee.
20:41Okay.
20:42Say hello for me.
20:43Okay.
20:47Sorry, that was just Sal.
20:49But listen, don't worry.
20:49From now on, I'm not going to tell anyone what's going on, okay?
20:52You promise?
20:55Yeah, I promise.
20:57This can be our secret, okay?
20:58No one else has to know.
21:04Has she lost her husband forever?
21:06We can't end it like this.
