00:08Did you stop even once to think about Sally?
00:11Let alone poor Alf.
00:12Do you think he wants a hussy for a great daughter?
00:14Stop it.
00:14I don't care what you guys think.
00:16I don't need to justify myself.
00:17If you don't like it, stay out of my life.
00:19Martha, we don't feel like that.
00:21Oh, never.
00:21You can't drive, Mandy.
00:24I'll be fine.
00:25I've hardly had anything to drink.
00:27This is my son that we're talking about.
00:42Oh, my God.
00:44Amanda.
00:44Amanda.
00:52Amanda, come on.
00:53Wake up.
00:54Open your eyes.
00:55Amanda.
01:03This is Detective Baker.
01:04I'm at an MVA on Kings Creek Road.
01:06I've got an unconscious female driver.
01:09No, it's a single car collision.
01:10She appears to have serious head injuries.
01:12I need an ambulance here urgently.
01:16Amanda, it's okay.
01:18It's okay.
01:18Helps on its way.
01:19Okay, can you hear me?
01:20Amanda, come on.
01:21Hey.
01:22Oh, no.
01:22Oh, my God.
01:23Come on, Amanda.
01:23Please just hold on.
01:24Just hold on, please.
01:27Amanda Bale, 30-year-old female involved in a low-speed MVA.
01:29Patiently semi-conscious.
01:30BP 120 over 90.
01:32Pulse 60.
01:33Loss of consciousness at scene.
01:34Bleeding from the right ear.
01:35Okay, Amanda.
01:36Can you hear me?
01:39Pumples are sluggish.
01:40She's been responsive since the accident.
01:41She needs an urgent head CT.
01:42We're looking at a possible fractured skull.
01:44Let's go.
01:45Take away burger with the lot and a large chips for you.
01:49And would anyone here like some dessert?
01:53Ice cream.
01:53Ice cream.
01:54I don't think a bit of ice cream will hurt.
01:56Four bowls of ice cream coming right up.
01:59So, does anybody know when asked you back?
02:01No, I don't think it'll be for a while.
02:03He's having trouble getting Celia out of Nigeria.
02:05Yeah, that's all that we know.
02:06The phone lines are so bad,
02:07we can't even have a decent conversation with him.
02:14Never mind conversation.
02:15We don't even get a hello.
02:16Yeah, he's too busy trying to get at the rocket club, no idea.
02:18I can't believe she's still working there
02:19after what happened last week.
02:20You'd think that seeing your friends and family
02:22in the audience would snap her out of it.
02:23I don't think she sees us as either right now.
02:27I know that it's hard,
02:28but we've got to make sure we don't keep pushing her away.
02:31I think we've just got to wait
02:32and hope that she comes to us.
02:35Let's see if I can find out any more for you
02:37and I'll get back to you.
02:39Okay, thanks.
02:40Hi.
02:43I thought you said Mum went to pick up Ryan ages ago.
02:45She did, why?
02:46Well, that was Tommy's mum.
02:48She hasn't turned up yet.
02:49That's strange.
02:50She should be there by now.
02:51Well, where is she?
02:52Ryan's really upset.
02:53Yeah, apparently the other kids were teasing him.
03:01Hi.
03:02Hey.
03:03I've been trying to call.
03:04Oh, yeah, sorry.
03:05I was on the phone.
03:06What's up?
03:06There's been a car accident.
03:09Hey, what's happening?
03:10I haven't seen you.
03:11I was wrong by and told Kelly and Bill.
03:12How bad are her injuries?
03:15She's barely conscious.
03:16What else did they say?
03:17Not much.
03:17The doctors have taken her for scans,
03:18but she was bleeding from the ear.
03:20Well, it's not assumed the worst.
03:21Yeah, well, wait until they tell us more.
03:23I can't believe it.
03:24Even when Belle got a phone call from Tommy's mother,
03:26it never occurred to me something had happened to Amanda.
03:28Tommy's mother?
03:29Mum was on her way to pick up Ryan.
03:31She never made it.
03:32Why don't we go and sit down?
03:34Here.
03:35Come on.
03:37Hey.
03:39You know, I was just...
03:40I was on my way home from work,
03:41and it was hard to see the road,
03:43so I had my high beams on,
03:44and as I ran in the bend,
03:47Amanda's car just came out of nowhere.
03:48You know, she must have...
03:50She must have been blinded by the headlights,
03:52and she lost control of the car and went off the road.
03:56When I opened the door and saw who it was,
03:57I just...
03:59The accident was my fault, Dan.
04:01No, it wasn't.
04:01It was.
04:02It must have been the high beam.
04:05Apparently, Cassie and Matilda are designing new flies
04:07for the helpline.
04:08I've only seen her as excited about something.
04:10She's just the boxing thing.
04:11Boxing?
04:12Oh, don't ask.
04:13It's a shame she could have joined us for dinner.
04:16Grandad's back.
04:17You could have at least had a few beers in the fridge.
04:20For a bloke who's home early.
04:22Hello, Mrs Stewart.
04:24Why didn't you tell us?
04:25You've got a picture from the airport.
04:26You're welcome, mate.
04:28Hello, Princess.
04:29Hello.
04:30Oh, no, mate, look, there was no problem at all.
04:32It was a complete shambles over there.
04:34You know, we finally got the okay for Celia to fly,
04:36so we bolted straight out to the airport
04:38before they could change their minds.
04:39Oh, so you've brought her home?
04:40Yeah, she's a lot better than she was.
04:43Morag's looking after her for the time being
04:44until we can find something a bit more permanent.
04:46Oh, well, it's so good to see you.
04:48We've missed having you around here.
04:50Yeah, well, I was pretty anxious about getting back, too,
04:53to sort out this Martha business,
04:55and quitting a job like that and moving out.
04:57It's not like her.
04:59I've got to admit, I'm pretty worried about it.
05:01Well, that's just the start of it, actually.
05:04What?
05:04What are you talking about?
05:09Stella's gone to pick up Ryan.
05:11Thanks.
05:12And I'm told not to let on that anything was wrong.
05:14Good, that's the last thing the poor kid needs.
05:20Hey, it looks like you can use this.
05:25Thanks.
05:33Doc, what's going on?
05:35We've got the scans back.
05:36Look, there's no sign of any fracture to the skull,
05:38no bleeding onto the brain, no serious injury
05:41other than a burst hydron,
05:42which must have been caused by the initial impact.
05:43Are you sure that's all that's wrong?
05:45I mean, she was unconscious for over 20 minutes.
05:46We'll continue to do tests,
05:47but at this stage, I'd say Amanda's a very lucky woman.
05:50So she should make it for recovery?
05:52Yeah, I'll keep you informed of any changes.
05:54She's going to be OK.
05:55Doc, can I see her?
05:57She's still very weak.
05:58Yeah, I know, but I'm her husband.
06:23Peter.
06:23Hey, don't talk.
06:32We wanted to let you know the full story before you got back,
06:35but we just couldn't get you on the phone.
06:38Are you OK, Grinder?
06:40What do you reckon after hearing all that?
06:42I'm really sorry.
06:44Oh, Sal, it's not your fault.
06:47Just that one time I spoke to her on the phone
06:49about moving into the flat,
06:51I could tell she wasn't herself,
06:53but I had no idea things were this bad.
06:56I should have been here to stop it.
06:59Is someone sleepy?
07:00Yeah, well, it's way past your bedtime.
07:03Come on.
07:03Go upstairs.
07:05It might be long.
07:06It might be.
07:08Night.
07:08Night-night, princess.
07:13So, uh, do we know any more about this camp bloke?
07:17Oh, not much.
07:18Just he's a very sleazy kind of guy, you know?
07:19What about this, uh, club?
07:21Rocket club.
07:22It's not the sort of place that anyone else
07:23would really want to go to.
07:24Of course, this was a box party,
07:26which is why we were there.
07:27Do another beer.
07:30Martha can't be happy what she's doing,
07:32but every time we try and bring it up,
07:33she just gets upset and only makes things worse.
07:43Last thing I remember, I was looking at the road,
07:47and then I saw some headlights,
07:50and that's it.
07:52I must have blacked out.
07:57How are you feeling?
07:59Still a little bit woozy, but much better.
08:02Any headaches?
08:03I know, but my ear hurts, though.
08:06We have your blood test results.
08:09According to the drug screen,
08:10you were heavily intoxicated.
08:13Your blood alcohol level was 0.12.
08:17You were drunk.
08:18I don't remember.
08:20I had a few to drink, but I...
08:22You know what?
08:23I've been worrying myself sick
08:25that I somehow caused this accident, Amanda.
08:27I thought I might have even killed you,
08:28but instead it was your drug driving
08:30that could have killed me.
08:31Or worse, it could have killed Ryan.
08:33Peter, I was upset.
08:34Peter!
08:39Peter, what's going on?
08:39She was drunk.
08:40That's what caused the accident.
08:41She was over twice the legal limit.
08:43You know, I should have just left her there.
08:44Yeah, she was picking up Ryan.
08:45Did you know she'd been drinking?
08:46I knew she'd had a couple, but...
08:48Well, you'd just let her drive like that.
08:49I honestly didn't realise.
08:50Maybe she was knocking back more than I was a woman.
08:52Hey, don't attack Kelly.
08:53She's not responsible.
08:54Well, anyone who's let someone drive in that condition
08:55I think is responsible.
08:57I don't believe this.
08:57Why not?
08:57There doesn't seem to be any limit
08:59how low a mandible goes.
08:59Shut your mouth.
09:00Guys, don't start.
09:01Don't start.
09:02She could have died
09:02and this loser won't give her a break.
09:04Oh, hang on.
09:04She brought this on herself.
09:05She shouldn't have been drinking in the first place.
09:15Oh, Grandad.
09:16What are you doing?
09:17When did you get back?
09:18I arrived today and I'm taking you home.
09:20I am home.
09:21This is where I live now.
09:22Not anymore, it's not.
09:23You're coming home to cells with me.
09:24And from now on,
09:25you're going to do as you're told, okay?
09:27I'm not going to stand around
09:28and watch you running off the rails.
09:29I'm not running off the rails.
09:31No granddaughter of mine
09:32is going to get up and dance on stage
09:34in some sleazy little nightclub.
09:36And this rebellion thing of yours,
09:38it's over right here and right now.
09:40Look, you can't take my bags
09:41and you can't rule my life.
09:42I'm not a little girl anymore.
09:44Yeah, maybe not.
09:45But the way you're letting this bloke
09:46just drag you into the gutter,
09:47obviously you're not in your right state of mind.
09:49Who says I'm in the gutter?
09:50Well, what would you call it, eh?
09:51When you're letting some grub ruin your reputation?
09:53You can't take my bags.
09:54Let's get one thing straight.
09:55I'm doing what I'm doing,
09:56which is dancing, by the way,
09:58and nothing else because I want to.
10:00Not because Cam's conning me into it.
10:02Martha, will you listen to yourself?
10:03Hey, when are you going to wake up?
10:04The bloke is obviously manipulating you
10:07and you're too headstrong to see it.
10:08You can't judge him.
10:08You don't even know him.
10:09I don't want to know him.
10:11All I want is for you to show a bit of common sense
10:13and come home with me where you belong.
10:15I'm not coming.
10:17You can't make me.
10:22All right.
10:23If that's the case,
10:24I want you out of this flat by tomorrow afternoon.
10:26You're evicting me.
10:27If that's what it takes
10:28to knock some sense into your head, yes.
10:29But I've paid you rent.
10:31I don't give a damn about the money.
10:32You can have it back.
10:33Now pack your bags and get out.
10:43He still loves me, Belle.
10:46I saw it in his eyes.
10:48Peter was pretty upset when he left.
10:50Yeah, after the wedding,
10:51I thought he'd never forgive you,
10:52but after today,
10:53he showed how much he cared for you, so...
10:56He actually held my hand.
10:59Peter's not the only one who's angry.
11:01Dan went off his brain.
11:04Can't they understand
11:05that I didn't realise I drank that much?
11:07I was too busy thinking about Ryan.
11:11Peter, I'm so glad that you came back.
11:12I really wanted to explain.
11:14Where'd she go?
11:15No need.
11:15This won't take long.
11:16Amanda Vale, you've been charged.
11:18with driving and the influence of alcohol
11:20and with negligent driving.
11:21You can't be serious.
11:22Peter, why are you doing this?
11:23An offence has been committed.
11:24Amanda broke the law.
11:25She gave me no choice.
11:34What else was I supposed to do, Sal?
11:36I just wish you'd told us what you were planning.
11:38What, so you could have stopped me doing it?
11:40Well, I'm not having a go at you,
11:42but we've all tried the hardline approach with Martha
11:44and all it's done is push her further away.
11:48I just can't work out why she's doing it.
11:51Well, Jack and Brad and I believe that all of this started
11:55when she made the decision to get rid of the baby.
11:57Yeah, she did hit the bottle then, didn't she?
11:59Mm-hmm.
11:59We thought she had it under control, but obviously she didn't.
12:03And then she met this cam bloke,
12:05and that's when everything just spiralled out of control.
12:07Well, kicking her out of the apartment isn't really the answer.
12:13Yeah, but I can't just let her think what she's doing's all right.
12:16Well, I know that it's frustrating,
12:18but I just think that you need to keep the peace with her
12:20until she realises herself
12:22that all the choices she's making aren't good for her.
12:24And what if she doesn't?
12:27I guess that's the risk that we have to take.
12:36We're coming!
12:38It's only made.
12:41Grandad, hi.
12:42It's all right.
12:43I'm not here to kick you out.
12:48I just got a bit hot under the collar last night.
12:51I probably jumped the gun.
12:53I was a bit shocked about the dancing and all of that.
12:55Look, the upshot is you don't have to move out of here.
13:01But I would like you to consider coming back home to Sal's.
13:07And, Martha, I'm begging you to quit that job.
13:15Who's this?
13:17This is my grandfather.
13:20Alf, isn't it?
13:22Yeah.
13:26How's your sister doing?
13:30We're hoping for a full recovery.
13:32No, that's good news.
13:34My gran had a stroke a few years back,
13:36and, yeah, it was a pretty rough time on all of us.
13:38But she was amazing.
13:40She pulled right through it
13:41and started bossing us around, good as new.
13:44Well, she's a lucky woman.
13:47Um, I should get dressed.
13:56You and I probably need to have a talk over a few things, mate.
14:00Yeah, I reckon we do.
14:04Did you get any sleep?
14:06No.
14:08Things got a little heated at the hospital last night,
14:10but by the time I calmed down, you'd gone.
14:14You talked to Amanda after I left?
14:15Leah wouldn't let me in case I tore her from wind to limb.
14:19I went back later and had Amanda charged.
14:22Yeah, I know her.
14:25Oh, um, Bill rang Irene and she rang Leah.
14:28Now, as far as I'm concerned, mate, you've done the right thing.
14:31I mean, if Ryan had been in that code,
14:32I'd hate to think what might have happened to him.
14:35Just to wake up, call Amanda Neeson, so be it.
14:39You're not feeling guilty about it.
14:44Yesterday, after I went back to the house to get my stuff,
14:46I told you what I said to her.
14:48You know, at the time, I meant it,
14:51but then after the accident and after I thought it could have been my fault,
14:53she just had me right back in her corner.
14:55But that's because you were feeling guilty.
14:57Yeah, maybe, but the thing that gets me the most
14:59is that Amanda can suck me right back in again, you know,
15:01and then to have it all ripped away again, it just...
15:05it hurt.
15:15Morning.
15:16Yeah.
15:18OK, cool.
15:21What?
15:22Well, obviously, we're back to this.
15:24Back to what?
15:25You know, you were nice to me for a second last night.
15:27Yeah, well, that was before your mother completely gutted my father again.
15:30And this is my fault, because...
15:32Right, so you're going to back her up again.
15:33Great.
15:34I'm not saying she did the right thing.
15:36Obviously, she shouldn't have been driving,
15:38but it's not like she planned to have the axe in front of Peter just to screw him up.
15:41That's not the point.
15:43What about Peter?
15:44What kind of great guy turns around and brings the cops to his wife's hospital room to charge her?
15:49Yeah, well, she's some great wife, isn't she?
15:51Oh, whatever.
15:52Hey, my dad was just doing his job.
15:54No, he was doing it to get back at her.
15:55That's what it was about.
15:56And you don't think your slaggy mother deserved it?
15:58I am so sick to death of you bagging out my mother when you were so far from being a
16:02saint yourself.
16:03You know what I think this is about?
16:05I think secretly you still can't stand the fact that she rejected you,
16:07so this whole thing with your dad is just some way to get back at her.
16:11That's not true.
16:12Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:13You and I are over.
16:15You can't break up with me.
16:16I'm the one that's in the right hand.
16:17Grow up, Drew!
16:24I've worked my whole life to get my own club up and running.
16:26I've made the sacrifices, I've slaved around the clock,
16:29I've done just about everything it takes.
16:32I can believe that.
16:34I figure it might not be to your personal taste,
16:36but the Rocket Club's a business,
16:38and as valid as any other in the hospitality industry.
16:42Thanks, Buck.
16:44Yeah, it takes a lot of guts, a lot of hard work to get a business off the ground.
16:49And Cam's done it all on his own without any support.
16:52Hmm.
16:53I want to be really clear here.
16:55I'm stoked that I'm working with Martha,
16:58but it's totally up to her.
17:00If she doesn't want to dance, she doesn't dance.
17:02I already told him it was my decision.
17:05That's right, she did.
17:07And believe it or not, she's making some nice friends too.
17:10And I've got a great bunch of staff,
17:11and it's unfortunate when people assume things,
17:14but are they just ordinary girls
17:16who've decided to make good money from dancing?
17:19I understand why everyone's upset, Grandad.
17:22But they don't get it.
17:23There is nothing wrong with what I'm doing.
17:26Oh, that's my phone.
17:33I'm glad we could have this talk.
17:36Martha was pretty cut up last night.
17:38She has a great deal of respect for you, Alf.
17:40And I know that she hates it
17:44if you're thinking badly of her.
17:46Hey, you listen to me, mate.
17:48I don't buy your slick used car salesman act.
17:53I've seen a thousand blokes like you,
17:55and nothing you could say or do
17:57would make me think that you're anything
17:59other than a cheap and nasty little dropkick
18:02who wouldn't know how to lie straight in bed.
18:09That's your opinion, Grandad.
18:15That's right.
18:16That is my opinion.
18:17And I'm going to move heaven and earth
18:19to make sure Martha stops dancing
18:21in that velvet-covered rat aisle of yours.
18:27I know Martha.
18:29You don't have a hope in hell
18:31telling her what to do.
18:32That's where you're wrong, mate.
18:34You think you know Martha,
18:36but you wouldn't have a clue
18:38what she was going through
18:39just before she met you.
18:41She was ripe for the picking
18:43to be manipulated and used
18:45by a grub like you.
18:48But let me tell you something for nothing.
18:51If you heard so much as a hair
18:53on that girl's head,
18:55you will never know what hit you.
19:08I had to put some of your money
19:09in my account to pay for the pail.
19:11Sorry.
19:13Don't apologise.
19:14If it wasn't for you,
19:15I'd still be in the lock-up.
19:17You really need to go through
19:18that paperwork.
19:20We're hearing dates on it
19:21and you can't drive.
19:23All of that's meaningless now anyway.
19:27I had Peter back
19:29and now I've lost him again.
19:32Do you have any idea
19:33how much I hate myself right now?
19:35Don't say that.
19:37It's true.
19:40My whole life is just disintegrating.
19:43It's falling apart.
19:46And I don't know why
19:49this is happening to me.
19:58If it wasn't for poor little Ryan,
20:01I'd say block her up
20:02and throw away the key.
20:04I'm sure the courts
20:05will make sure
20:05the man learns a lesson.
20:06And as for that,
20:07Kelly,
20:07you should have heard
20:08the way she spoke to me yesterday
20:10when I handed over
20:11my letter of resignation.
20:12Colleen,
20:13do you think there's any chance
20:14my bacon-eat-wrap
20:15might be ready?
20:16Oh, yeah.
20:17I'll go and have a look.
20:18Alf,
20:18when did you get back?
20:19Last night.
20:21I take you
20:22been to see Martha?
20:24Yes,
20:24and I've just met
20:25the mongrel
20:26she's going out with.
20:27I wouldn't trust him
20:28as far as I could kick him.
20:29Well, then I'd say
20:29you're in line
20:30with the rest of us.
20:31You got a minute?
20:32Yeah.
20:32Hey, this, uh,
20:35a rocket club joint.
20:37Wouldn't that be
20:37the sort of place
20:38you blokes
20:38should be keeping an eye on?
20:39The rest assured we are.
20:41And there's nothing
20:41unusual happening there?
20:42I mean,
20:43apart from the obvious?
20:45I haven't got anything
20:46on Cam yet,
20:47but I'm working on it.
20:48For the moment
20:48he steps out of line,
20:50I'll be there.
20:54She's been tricked
20:55into her boyfriend's
20:56seedy world.
20:57I decided to dance.
20:58That was my choice.
20:59Oh, he'll pay you rent,
21:00look after you,
21:01make you feel special,
21:02and before you know it,
21:03you're in way over your head.
21:04Is this the wake-up call
21:05she needs?
21:07Plus,
21:07her spunky brother
21:08is here.
21:09But why?
21:10Home and away
21:11tomorrow at 7.
21:13Home and away
