00:01Look, you've done the right thing by coming here, okay?
00:03Come with me now and we can get help.
00:07Who's that?
00:08You promised me that you'd come alone.
00:10You said I could trust you.
00:11You can! You can! Lily, wait!
00:14I'm so sorry for letting you down last night.
00:18I wanted to help you, that's all, I swear.
00:21But listen, don't worry, from now on,
00:23I'm not going to tell anyone what's going on, okay?
00:25You and I, we're never going to get back together.
00:28I'm sorry.
00:30What I felt for you, it's just not there now.
00:38He's gone.
00:44Okay, thank you.
00:45Bye.
00:46Did anyone seem leave?
00:47No, he must have slipped out while nobody was watching.
00:49The departments are keeping an eye out for him now.
00:51This is all my fault.
00:53You left because of what I said to him.
00:54What if he flips out again?
00:55What if he has another episode?
00:56It's possible, but it's highly unlikely.
00:57Yeah, but it could happen, right?
00:59What if we can't find him?
01:00Let's not jump to worst case scenario, not just yet.
01:03Check the grounds of the car park, there's no sign of it.
01:06Can you think of anywhere James might have gone?
01:08A friend's place maybe?
01:09No, he only knew us.
01:10I should have seen this coming.
01:12He was so down when I left the room.
01:14Kit, this is not your fault.
01:15You did the right thing.
01:17Try not to worry.
01:17We're going to find him, okay?
01:24James.
01:26It's okay.
01:26I'm not here to cause any trouble.
01:27What are you doing in my house?
01:30Yeah, I didn't think you'd mind.
01:33I thought you were supposed to still be in hospital.
01:35Oh, I was.
01:35I just checked myself out.
01:36What, Rachel said that was okay?
01:37Yeah, she said it was fine.
01:39As long as I take my meds and go to counselling, I don't have to be here.
01:41Right, right.
01:41That doesn't explain what you're doing in my house.
01:43It's okay.
01:43It's complicated.
01:44I need that.
01:45This has got something to do with it.
01:46Kim, please.
01:46It's important.
01:47I need you to hear me out.
01:51See you next time.
01:55The Andersons just checked out of van four and they bought a calendar.
01:59What?
02:00That's unreal.
02:00I can't believe they're still selling.
02:02Mrs. Anderson seems to think it's the best souvenir she could get for a time here in
02:05Summer Bay.
02:06I don't know what Mr. Anderson thought about that though.
02:08Yeah.
02:11So, have you been getting more phone calls for the helpline over the last few days?
02:17Sorry?
02:18Well, since word's been getting out, have you been getting any more calls?
02:21No, not a lot.
02:23But like Brian said, the less calls we get means there's less kids who need our help.
02:26That's a good way of looking at it.
02:28So, have you heard from Lily since the other night?
02:31No.
02:33Well, I'm sure she'll call the helpline if she needs it.
02:39All right, so what's your story?
02:42Um, yesterday when Kit came to see me in the hospital and we were talking about old times,
02:47I suddenly started thinking that maybe there was a chance for us.
02:50Maybe we could patch things up and get back together again.
02:52You don't seriously think Kit would take you back after everything you've done, do you?
02:55No.
02:56No, I realise that now.
02:57I was hearing what I wanted to hear.
02:59I was fooling myself.
03:00Listen, the only reason Kit came to talk to you in the first place is because Rachel thought
03:03it might be a good opportunity for you to say sorry to her and you might feel better.
03:07Sugar?
03:07Yeah, one thanks.
03:09I know that.
03:10And I'm glad that Kit gave me the chance to say sorry, which is part of the reason why
03:15I'm here now.
03:17I reckon you deserve an apology too.
03:22Hello.
03:24Hey, Maddy.
03:26You forgot, didn't you?
03:29We're going to be working on our assignment, remember?
03:33Sorry, I had some last minute orders for calendars.
03:35That's okay.
03:35Hey, I had a thought.
03:37Maybe we can work on it in the diner and then get lunch at the same time.
03:41Did you make other plans?
03:42No.
03:43Well, come on then.
03:44We can just get it over with and then we can catch up.
03:47I know I did some stupid things like lying about the dope.
03:52And I know how hard that made things between you two.
03:56But I want you to know it was never my intention to cause a rift between you and Kit or
04:02harm
04:02her and the baby.
04:03Yeah, well that's exactly what you did.
04:05I know.
04:06And I'm sorry for it.
04:10You only ever wanted the best for Kit and the baby.
04:14And you were willing to sacrifice your relationship with her for it.
04:18That's a pretty admirable thing to do.
04:20James, look, I did what anyone else would have done.
04:22Maybe.
04:24Maybe not.
04:24But the point is, it made me realise how much you cared about her.
04:29And also made me realise how much I've been hurting her ever since.
04:35This morning at the hospital, when she told me that she didn't want to be with me ever
04:39again, it made me realise that I was still doing it.
04:44I was still hurting her by putting her in that position.
04:48Yeah, well that's why you need to go away and get the help you need and leave Kit alone.
04:52I know.
04:54And I'm ready to do it.
04:57I just need to ask one more favour.
05:00I hate it when the question says please discuss.
05:02I mean, it's not even a question.
05:04There's so many ways that you can get it wrong.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Of course if you're Lucas, you can just write pages and pages and it'll sound great
05:10and you'll get a top mark anyway.
05:13So, anyway, Luke's having such a good time at this writing camp that he's decided to never
05:16come back.
05:18And he thinks that Belle is like the best person in the world for entering his story.
05:22That's great.
05:23Cass, you're really not listening to me.
05:26Sorry, I've got so much on with the helpline.
05:28I can't concentrate.
05:30Okay, look, we can do this a lot.
05:31Oh, I'm sorry.
05:33It's not alright.
05:33I'm so sorry.
05:34It's fine.
05:34Just go and wash it off.
05:36I'm sorry.
05:37Someone's had an accident.
05:39Yeah, it was me.
05:39Hey, can I order Cassie to have a drink?
05:42Uh, yeah.
05:42Of course you can.
05:46Do you want to answer that?
05:52Um, it's Cassie's.
05:53I'd rather let it go to message me.
05:55Alright.
05:55I think that'll do it, darling.
05:57I'll grab you that drink.
05:58Or better.
05:59Of course.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Um, your phone just rang.
06:03Oh.
06:07Sorry, Maddie, I'm gonna have to go.
06:09But I just ordered you another drink.
06:11Oh, well, you can have it.
06:12I'll be back soon, okay?
06:13Wait, why'd you have to rush off?
06:15Um, that was Brian from the helpline.
06:18He was meant to be dropping in at home to collect some more posters and I just completely forgot.
06:22But you stay and keep doing the assignment if you want or it shouldn't be too long.
06:28James, it's me.
06:29If you get this message, please can you call me back?
06:32Still no word on James' whereabouts.
06:36Do you think it's time to get the police involved?
06:37I don't think we have a choice.
06:39I can't believe he ran off like that.
06:41Yeah, well, what's important is to find him ASAP.
06:44For his own safety.
06:45Yeah, but he might do something.
06:46He's still not answering his phone.
06:47Can I get you to make that call?
06:49I'll talk to Olivetti.
06:50What call?
06:52Art, we've decided to notify the police.
06:54You're really worried, aren't you?
06:55I'm sure he's gonna be fine, but the best thing is that we have everyone out there looking for him
06:58at the moment.
06:59It's been hours. Anything could have happened.
07:02Hey, try not to worry. I know it's not easy.
07:04You stressing yourself out is not going to do any good to you, or James, or this baby.
07:09I just hope he hasn't done anything stupid.
07:20Okay, so you sure this is what you want to do?
07:23Well, it's the best for Kit.
07:26Where are you planning on heading?
07:28I'm not sure yet.
07:31All I know has got to get as far away from here as possible.
07:34Figure things out, you know?
07:38And you're gonna keep getting help?
07:41Yeah. Keep seeing counsellor, if that's what you mean.
07:44Yeah.
07:47And you're off the drugs, obviously.
07:50Okay.
07:55All right, then.
08:08James, just wait a sec.
08:14For the record, I thought you were great for Kit.
08:17It was just a pot I couldn't get past.
08:20I can understand that.
08:24Thanks a lot.
08:26Good luck with it, huh?
08:27Cheers.
08:31Hey, Kim.
08:33You promise me you'll look after Kit, yeah?
08:36Yeah, I will.
08:39Thanks.
08:43Bye-bye.
09:08Lil!
09:09I'm sorry I took so long. I got caught up with a friend.
09:13How did you get away from calling?
09:14I told him I was going to the shop, so I can't really stay that long.
09:17Look, that's okay.
09:18I've got some great news for you.
09:19You know the lady counsellor I was telling you about?
09:21She's visiting the bay this afternoon and she can see you at 3 o'clock.
09:24She only comes once every fortnight, so I don't want you to miss her.
09:27No, no, no about this, Cass.
09:28You're like her. She's really easy to talk to.
09:30I'll make it sass if I go out twice in a day.
09:32If he knew what I was doing, he'd completely go nuts, Cassie.
09:34Look, I've been in your situation, Lil, and unless you're willing to take the first steps,
09:37your situation is never going to change.
09:40You don't want Kyle to keep hitting you, do you?
09:41No, but I don't want him getting into trouble either.
09:44He's not a bad person.
09:46He's not Cassie.
09:47Okay, and that's exactly why we're not getting the police involved just like you asked.
09:51But you need to tell her exactly what's going on.
09:53And what happens if she tells the police?
09:54She's not going to do that without your consent.
09:57Everything you tell her will be in total confidence.
09:59You have to do this, Lil.
10:00And don't worry, I'm going to be there with you every step of the way.
10:04Okay.
10:05Thanks for being so supportive over the past few days.
10:08I'd do anything to help, you know that.
10:11I'd better go.
10:13Let's meet back here at, say, 10 to 3 and we'll go see you together, alright?
10:16Okay.
10:21When you get this message, just give me a call, okay?
10:25I left the message on Kim's phone.
10:27It's been off all morning.
10:29What's the latest with police?
10:30Well, they've issued a missing persons bulletin.
10:32Notified all the patrol cars in the area.
10:34If he's out there, they'll find him.
10:35Okay, I think we should start looking.
10:37No, you need to go home and rest.
10:38What if he's out there and he's sick?
10:40The last thing that you need is all this stress triggering another migraine.
10:44I've been trying to call you.
10:45Yeah, my phone's at home.
10:47James has taken off.
10:48He what?
10:49Yeah, he did a run and we don't know where he's gone.
10:51No, I was just with him.
10:52What?
10:52Where?
10:53He turned up at our place.
10:54He said he checked himself out of the hospital and you okayed it.
10:57I did no such thing.
10:58Well, what did he say?
10:58Is he alright?
10:59He was fine.
11:00He wanted to apologise and he said to say he's really sorry about upsetting you.
11:03Then I dropped him off at the bus stop.
11:05He's left town?
11:06Yeah.
11:06Kim, why did you let him go?
11:08Well, I thought you were okay with it.
11:10It's what he said.
11:10And you believed him?
11:12You knew his condition.
11:13He's on medication.
11:14Oh, okay.
11:15I didn't know he was lying right.
11:16Well, where did he say he was going?
11:17He didn't, but look, he seemed fine.
11:19Seriously, if I thought there was a problem, I wouldn't have let him go.
11:22I'll notify the police.
11:23The police?
11:24What?
11:25Seriously?
11:25He's fine.
11:26I hope so.
11:28Fan income.
11:29It was the best trip.
11:31It's a shame you didn't get to catch up with Beth, though.
11:33Oh, I know.
11:33Can you believe it?
11:34We're both at the other side of the world.
11:36I miss him by one flippin' day in Rome.
11:38Excuse me.
11:41Hey, sorry I had to rush out before.
11:43So, is everything okay with Brian?
11:44Yeah, fine.
11:45I gave him a post as he was after.
11:48Right, so that's why I just saw you on the beach with that girl.
11:51Cass, why did you lie to me?
11:54Was that Lily?
11:56How did you know?
11:57I saw her name on your phone when it rang before.
12:00Please, Cass, tell me what's going on.
12:05I don't even know why we're still arguing about this, right?
12:08I'm sorry I took the guy on face value, but I thought he was telling the truth.
12:11Well, you made it very clear from the start that you were against James staying in the bay for the
12:14treatment.
12:15Yeah, so?
12:16So, maybe you were more than happy to suspend him on the bay.
12:19That's not how it was.
12:20I'm sorry, I don't sound convinced.
12:23James very calmly and very rationally came to me and told me he was going to leave the bay
12:27because he thought it might be better for Kit.
12:29That's it, stop looking into it.
12:30You didn't stop to consider his mental state.
12:32I told you yesterday that he was depressed.
12:34Why would I suddenly turn around and give him the okay to leave hospital today?
12:37I don't know Rachel, I'm not a doctor, you figure it out.
12:39Yeah, alright.
12:40You let your personal feelings get in the way of your judgement.
12:43Well, so what, it is personal, I'm not sorry the guy's gone.
12:45Oh, that's just it, it's always being personal, you never liked the guy.
12:48What are you talking about? I set them up in the first place.
12:50Yeah, and it wasn't long before you wished you hadn't.
12:52Well that's because I found the guy smoking drugs in front of Kit and my baby.
12:55No, it was more than that and you know it.
12:57The whole time James was here you couldn't stand the fact that you were being sidelined as a father.
13:01That has nothing to do with it.
13:02You hated the fact that you were being pushed aside.
13:04And you were scared that James was going to become a bigger part of the baby's life than you.
13:07So that's what you think all this is about?
13:08I think that you saw an opportunity to get him out of your life for good and you took it.
13:11Are you kidding me?
13:12Am I?
13:14That's it, this is ridiculous.
13:15I don't even know why we're having this conversation.
13:16You think what you want to think.
13:18That's it.
13:24If Sally finds out Lily's been calling me, she's going to make me tell Dan and Lily doesn't want any
13:28men involved.
13:29Is that why she came to you, because you're a girl?
13:31Well that and the fact that I've been in a similar situation with Maka.
13:34Knowing I got out of it gives a hope I guess.
13:37I'm so sorry Cassie, I had no idea that this was going on.
13:40Yeah, look I'm sorry too, I hated lying to you before.
13:44So what now?
13:46Well, I've managed to get Lily to agree to see a female counsellor this afternoon.
13:50And she says she might be able to find her a place to stay if she decides to leave Kyle.
13:55And then you'll call the police?
13:57Lily's not ready for that yet.
13:58Oh, but if he's violent and she's in danger.
14:01Yeah, look if it were up to me, I'd report him straight away.
14:03But Lily doesn't want the police involved.
14:05She keeps saying Kyle doesn't deserve that.
14:06Oh, that's crazy.
14:08Yeah, I know and it sucks.
14:09But if we can get her away from him and into regular counselling, maybe she'll change her mind about talking
14:13to the police.
14:16Look, it's quarter to three, I have to go.
14:18I'm coming to.
14:18No, you can't.
14:19Okay, nobody else is supposed to know about this.
14:21If she sees you, she's going to think I've betrayed her trust again.
14:25Remember, don't say anything to anyone.
14:29Whoa!
14:29Joey, are you?
14:37Lily, it's Cass.
14:39I'm down at the beach.
14:40We were supposed to meet 15 minutes ago.
14:43I hope everything's okay.
14:44Could you give me a call just so I know you're alright?
14:59How'd it go?
15:00She didn't show up.
15:01What?
15:01Yeah, I waited around for ages and left messages on a voicemail.
15:04Oh, do you think she got cold feet?
15:05I hope that's all it is.
15:06What, you don't think Kyle found out, do you?
15:09Oh, good, you're back again.
15:11You're in and out like a fiddle's elbow today, aren't you?
15:13Yeah, it's one of those days.
15:21Lily, are you okay?
15:23Lily's fine.
15:24Who are you?
15:26I'm a friend of Lily's.
15:27Is she there?
15:29How about you mind your own business and don't call this number again?
15:33That was Kyle, wasn't it?
15:35He must have listened to my messages.
15:37Cass, this is getting way too big, okay?
15:38You have to tell Sam.
15:39You know I can't do that.
15:42I have to go over there.
15:43Are you crazy?
15:44Is it?
15:44Look, I have to make sure she's okay.
15:45If Cole's worked out what's going on, then who knows what I've done to her.
15:48Cassie, please don't do this, okay?
15:50You could be putting yourself in danger too.
15:51What other option do I have?
15:52Lily needs my help.
15:54Okay, I'm coming too.
15:55No, Matilda, you can't.
15:56I'm coming with you.
15:58Come on.
16:03All the cars are in the driveway.
16:05Maybe Cole's not home.
16:07Look, we always have to make sure Lily's alright.
16:22What are you doing here?
16:24Who's that, Cassie?
16:26Um, this is Matilda.
16:28I'm really sorry, but I had to tell her what's going on.
16:30You really shouldn't be here.
16:31If Kyle gets home, we're all going to be in huge trouble.
16:33Will, why don't you show this afternoon?
16:36Kyle phoned me.
16:37I know he knows about me.
16:39Has he hurt you?
16:40No, I just...
16:41I got scared, Cassie.
16:43I couldn't do it.
16:44Will.
16:44We can talk about it later.
16:45You really shouldn't be here.
16:47Look, just wait.
16:50He hit you, didn't he?
16:51No, I'll call you later tonight.
16:53I can't keep letting him do this.
16:54Just go.
16:56I'm not going anywhere without you.
16:58Can you remind me of someone else?
17:03Hey.
17:04Hey.
17:07Everything alright, mate?
17:09Nah, just stuff it home.
17:12Yeah, I noticed things were a little tense between you guys.
17:15Yeah, Rachel and I, we had a huge argument about James.
17:19You know, I did what I thought was right with him today and now.
17:21There you go, love.
17:22I mean, can I get a flat white to go?
17:24Yeah, sure, darling.
17:25She is.
17:25Look, Rachel's pretty dedicated to her papers.
17:28She's just worried about him, that's all.
17:29Ah, it's more than that.
17:30It's like she blames me for him leaving town or something.
17:35Well, why don't she think that?
17:37Because I didn't want the guy anywhere near Kit.
17:41Right, so there is an element of truth in what she's saying.
17:43Is that such a bad thing after what he did the other night?
17:45Look, you know, all I've ever done is try to do what's right by Kit and the baby,
17:49and now it feels like I'm being criticised for it.
17:51Well, maybe you just need to tell her that.
17:54Yeah, look, right now it's the last thing I feel like doing.
17:57Here you go, love.
17:58Oh, cheers.
18:01Look, I'm sure I'll be fine, mate.
18:07Hey, just come to see how you're holding up.
18:10No.
18:10I've had better days, but I'm okay.
18:14Do you want juice?
18:16No, I'm good, thanks.
18:18Do you blame me for James leaving town?
18:22Well, I'll admit I was a bit surprised when I found out he'd gone.
18:26But like you said, it's what he wanted, so I hope it all works out.
18:30Yeah, I think it will, you know.
18:31You seem really adamant about getting help.
18:36Look, you know I didn't want things to turn out like this, don't you?
18:38Yeah, I know.
18:39And if it wasn't for the drugs, then I would...
18:40You don't need to explain.
18:43You were the one who encouraged me to give him another go in the first place, remember?
18:46Yeah, I do. Now I'm wishing I hadn't.
18:48Yeah.
18:52Yeah.
18:53When I think back to the first few weeks when I found out I was pregnant,
18:57I had totally convinced myself that I could do this on my own and I didn't need anyone.
19:02And then James came along and I got used to the idea of him being around.
19:08And now...
19:09I just wonder what happened to that girl that was going to fly the flag for single mums everywhere.
19:14Well, she's still around.
19:16The baby's due in a couple of weeks and suddenly I'm alone.
19:20And I'm scared.
19:21Hey, I'm always going to be here for you.
19:24Right, you're not alone.
19:30Hey.
19:31Hi.
19:33What are you doing here?
19:35Well, I ran into Kim at the diner.
19:38I just want to make sure we're alright.
19:41Did he tell you about our fight?
19:46He didn't need to do that.
19:48We had been in town five minutes and we're already burdening you with our problems.
19:56Oh, God, I can't keep doing this.
19:58I can't keep fighting with him.
20:00Hey, it can't be all that bad, can I?
20:01Well, there's always a problem and we always end up arguing about it.
20:04It's okay.
20:07No, it's not.
20:08I keep telling myself that but now I'm not so sure.
20:22I can't go with you, Cassie, not yet, okay?
20:24Carl's really suss about the phone calls and if he gets back and I'm not here.
20:28He'll never be able to find you, Lily.
20:29The counsellor will make sure of it.
20:31You don't understand.
20:32Yeah, I do.
20:34I know how hard it is to take that first step.
20:36I felt exactly the same way when I was with Macca.
20:38She was just as scared as you are but she knew that it had to end.
20:42Yeah, and so do you.
20:43Come with us.
20:45I don't know.
20:46Lil, you don't have to live like this.
20:48Please.
20:50It's Kyle.
20:52Quick.
21:01Is everything okay?
21:03Yeah, of course.
21:09He's not happy.
21:10I just think you should have a little bit of self-respect.
21:13I'm sorry I'm such an embarrassment to you.
21:16But has he just pushed her further away?
21:18Plus, could the friend they're trying to help be in serious danger?
21:23Find her, Rick. You have to before a boyfriend does.
21:25Home and away, tomorrow at seven.
