00:01How selfish of me, doing something I actually want to do instead of worrying about the precious Stuart name.
00:07I'm just trying to tell you about that.
00:07Sarah was thinking that you were the most open-minded out of everyone.
00:11Why didn't you just say it?
00:13You're ashamed of me.
00:16I'm scared. What if Sally sends me back there or if Kyle finds me?
00:19Look, come with me now, okay? None of that's gonna happen.
00:22I'm not gonna tell anyone where you are or who you are.
00:36I got your message.
00:38I'm so glad you're okay. I didn't know what had happened or where you'd gone.
00:42I'm fine.
00:44Look, okay, we'd better go back to Cassie. She's been so worried.
00:46You know, Manny, I can't. It doesn't feel right.
00:50Lily, I'm not gonna tell anyone, okay?
00:52No matter how you guys want to play this, I'll go with it.
00:54Okay.
00:57Can't we at least talk about this at home?
01:00Come on, you're starting to make me a bit nervous.
01:01It doesn't matter where I go, he's gonna find me.
01:03Not at Sally's.
01:05You're safe with us, I promise.
01:18Please don't run off like that again. I was so worried about you.
01:22I know. I'm sorry, Cassie.
01:23I thought you were gonna dog me in.
01:25You're not the criminal, Lily.
01:27Of course we're not gonna tell the police if you don't want us to.
01:29Or Sally and Brad, for that matter.
01:31Yeah, we want you to be safe, that's all.
01:33Dave, from what?
01:34Okay.
01:34What are you doing here? How did you find us?
01:36How could you, what?
01:37Mate, you're not welcome. I'll suggest you leave.
01:38Okay, look, I don't know what's going on, but I'm taking Lily home.
01:41My mum's gonna be worried.
01:42She's not going anywhere with you.
01:45Come on, babe.
01:45Hey, just back off, okay?
01:47Before I call the police.
01:48No, Cassie, you said not cops.
01:51What? What's going on in here?
01:53What's this about the police?
01:53Mate, I don't want any trouble.
01:55Well, I'm glad to hear it, and you are.
01:57Kyle, Lily's boyfriend?
01:59This is Lily.
02:02That was the best surprise ever, thank you.
02:05I can't remember the last time I went away on the weekend.
02:07Then how amazing was the hotel?
02:10It was pretty swish, eh?
02:11See, it pays to do people favours.
02:14Well, I'm still gonna email your friend and thank him,
02:16even if it was an IOU.
02:18Sure, that'd be nice.
02:22I haven't really apologised about last week.
02:25I was going to, but I didn't want to bring it up and spoil things.
02:28Last week?
02:29Yeah, the whole thing with Paige.
02:31I never should have listened to Jack.
02:33I told you.
02:35I'm always going to be honest with you, sir.
02:37It's all you need to remember when people try to interfere.
02:39I still feel bad.
02:40Forget about it.
02:41I have.
02:43And, just to prove it, I have something for you.
02:47I was going to give it to you when we're away, but...
02:54Here.
02:57Oh, uh...
02:59Don't panic.
03:00It's not what you think.
03:01What is it then?
03:03Well, open it and see.
03:08Car keys.
03:09Car keys.
03:10It's not just any car key.
03:11That is the key to a brand new Alfa Romeo.
03:14Cherry red.
03:15Just for you.
03:16Are you serious?
03:18Officially, it's a business vehicle.
03:20Unofficially, it's yours to drive as much as you like.
03:23Oh my God, that's amazing.
03:25Are you sure?
03:27Yeah, it's considered one of the perks of being my girlfriend.
03:31And, it's also a thank you for everything you've done for me.
03:35For what?
03:36Bailing me out?
03:37Getting me a job?
03:38Looking after me?
03:39No.
03:39For sticking by me.
03:40Even when your family doesn't approve.
03:43I mean it, but...
03:44You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
03:54Why you did it is not the issue here.
03:56The fact is that you deliberately deceived us.
03:58I have a choice.
03:59I hope that you made Dan and I promise that you would not get personally involved.
04:03Lily, I'm very sorry.
04:05I know that this is a difficult situation, but Cassie should never have brought you here.
04:09Only someone in this house is talking some sense.
04:10No one else do.
04:11Cassie.
04:13Matilda, would you like to take Pippa upstairs?
04:15She might like you to read her a book.
04:20The reason I brought Lily here in the first place is because he's been hitting her.
04:24That's not true.
04:25It is.
04:26Okay, look, I'm trying to be patient here because I understand Lily's been lying.
04:29It's not the first time, but I swear I've never laid a finger on her.
04:34Okay, so how do you explain the bruises on her arms?
04:37I don't know.
04:40Lil, how'd you get those bruises?
04:42You know how.
04:44No, I don't.
04:46Why are you lying?
04:47You're lying!
04:48Everyone, just calm down.
04:49Look, this is getting stupid.
04:51Can we just go before it gets any more out of hand, please?
04:53Lily, you don't have to go.
04:55You can stay here if you like.
04:56She's coming home with me.
04:57I'm asking Lily.
04:59This is your decision.
05:03I'll stay.
05:07Are you sure?
05:08There's your answer, idiot.
05:09Just beat it.
05:09Rick.
05:15I don't get this.
05:17I don't look.
05:26What are you thinking about?
05:29Food.
05:31It's not the answer I was hoping for.
05:34Why?
05:35What are you thinking about?
05:37Us, actually.
05:40It's been in my mind a lot lately.
05:42For any particular reason?
05:44Not really.
05:45It's just that I can see us with the future together and I was wondering if you can too.
05:53Oh, right.
05:55Um.
05:56Obviously you've been giving it a lot of thought as well.
05:58No, it's not that.
05:59I just haven't tried to pin it down yet.
06:03Well, I have.
06:05And I reckon what we've got together is pretty special.
06:09But you knew that, didn't you?
06:14It's okay, you don't have to say anything.
06:16Like I said, I was just wondering, that's all.
06:28Cindy.
06:29What's up?
06:30You're kidding.
06:33You know, I'd love to help out, but I don't think I can today.
06:36Well, can't your mum look after her?
06:38You know, I love the kid, but look, I've got this really big meeting, remember?
06:43I can do it.
06:44Hang on.
06:46Cindy's babysitter's cancelled.
06:47She needs someone to look after Crystal for a couple of hours.
06:50Yeah, I kind of got that.
06:52Tell Cindy it's fine, I can do it.
06:53Sure.
06:55She can be a bit of a handful.
06:56She's eight.
06:57How hard can it be?
06:59Yeah, Martha said she'll do it.
07:01Okay.
07:02You can drop her off soon.
07:04Alright.
07:05Yeah, I warned her.
07:06There.
07:08That was nice of you.
07:10Especially when I didn't think kids were your thing.
07:16I promised Lily I'd help her.
07:18I couldn't go back on it.
07:19Well, it's a promise you should never have made.
07:21You know that.
07:22Yeah, I also know what it's like to be scared, okay?
07:25So scared that you can't see any way out.
07:28Well, this is exactly my point, Cassie.
07:30This is way too personal for you.
07:32This is a job for trained counsellors.
07:34I admire you wanting to help Lily, but it's completely inappropriate.
07:40Okay, look, enough about you for a minute.
07:43Let's talk about Lily's situation.
07:46Fine.
07:48Have you actually seen Kyle hitting her?
07:51You saw the bruises.
07:52Well, she could have got them some other way.
07:54Oh, come on, Sal.
07:55Why would she lie about that?
07:56Look, I have no idea.
07:58But that's why we're in such a difficult position.
08:00Not just with Dan, but with Kyle and Lily's family.
08:06Can I help you?
08:08I'm Brenda Nelson, Lily's mother.
08:12Kyle's told me everything.
08:14I want to see my daughter.
08:15The other beds are coming since, but yours is really helpful.
08:17I've served something like you.
08:29Right, I'm out of here.
08:31I'll bring the new Alpa back with me later.
08:33Can't wait.
08:38Everything okay?
08:40Yeah, I'm good.
08:42I've been thinking about what we talked about before.
08:45And?
08:46And I think we might have a future together as well.
08:52Use trouble.
08:59Kat!
09:00Hey, Princess!
09:01Look at you!
09:02Are you staying?
09:03Oh, I'd love to, babe, but I've got a really big meeting I need to get to.
09:09Can you give me a lift?
09:10I need to bring the new car back.
09:12New car?
09:13Nice.
09:14Hey, thank you so much for doing this.
09:15No problems.
09:16Hello, I'm Martha.
09:18I've heard lots about you.
09:19And I've heard heaps about you, too.
09:21Oh, ignore her.
09:22She's eight going on 18.
09:23What did I tell you in the car?
09:25To behave myself.
09:26Hmm.
09:27We'll be fine.
09:28You're a lifesaver.
09:29I'll see you later.
09:29Bye, baby.
09:30Mwah!
09:31See you, Princess.
09:33See you.
09:35So, what are you going to do?
09:36Do you live here by yourself?
09:38Yep.
09:38Come just visits occasionally.
09:40I know.
09:41He lives in a humongous house with a pool and spa, and I've stayed over heaps of times.
09:46Lucky you.
09:47Yeah.
09:48So, do you want me to do your make-up?
09:51Um, let's go to the beach instead.
09:53We'll get some fresh air.
09:54Whatever.
09:58Mrs. Nelson, please understand we're in a very difficult position here.
10:02Lily has asked for our help.
10:04Why would she do that?
10:05Because she wants attention.
10:07She's always been like that, ever since she was a kid.
10:09Maybe that's because you don't give it to her.
10:11Cassie, that is enough.
10:12Well, I'm sorry, but it's obvious she doesn't care.
10:14How can she not even see what's going on under her own roof?
10:17Kyle and Lily live with me.
10:18I think I'd know if my daughter was being bashed by a boyfriend.
10:22Okay, so how do you explain the bruises all over her arms?
10:25You think she put them there herself?
10:26I wouldn't put it past her.
10:28I don't get this.
10:30You're her mother.
10:30You're supposed to be on her side.
10:32What you need to understand is that my daughter is a compulsive liar.
10:36Kyle is a very loving and caring boyfriend.
10:43Lily, your mum seems to think that you're doing this for attention.
10:46Is that true?
10:48Lil, just tell them the truth.
10:50You're safe here, okay?
10:51We won't let anyone hurt you.
10:56I told you.
10:57It's all lies.
10:59Yeah, well, of course.
11:00You can't say anything.
11:01You're standing over her.
11:02She's terrified.
11:03I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
11:05I want to talk to my daughter alone.
11:07Of course you can.
11:08Come out here.
11:21Why don't we sit at that table over there?
11:23But I'd like a spinet bar, please.
11:25Well, what can I get for you, young lady?
11:27A skinny cafe latte, please.
11:28This is a juice bar.
11:29They don't do coffee.
11:31We'll have, um, two strawberry and watermelon juices, please.
11:34Good choice.
11:36I haven't seen you around for a few days.
11:38Yeah, Cam and I went up the coast.
11:40We stayed at one of his mate's hotels.
11:41It was amazing.
11:43And, um, who did this little Miss Muffet belong to?
11:45A friend from work.
11:47I'm Crystal.
11:48Are you now?
11:49Well, I'm Elf Stewart.
11:50I'm Martha's granddad.
11:51It's very nice to meet you.
11:54Let's go sit at a table.
11:57Drink that and then you can go for a swim.
12:03What?
12:04Don't you and your granddad like each other?
12:07Of course we do.
12:08So how come you didn't want to sit with him?
12:10We just disagree about something at the moment, but that doesn't mean we don't like each other.
12:14My nan doesn't like mum working at Cam's club, but she still loves her.
12:19Do you have brothers and sisters?
12:21I have brothers.
12:22I wish I had a sister, but it's just mummy and me and Cam.
12:26Cam really takes care of you, doesn't he?
12:29What's so funny?
12:30I know a secret about Cam.
12:32What kind of secret?
12:34I'm not supposed to tell, but I can if you want me to.
12:38That's completely up to you.
12:43I have to get away from me mum, I can't take it anymore.
12:47Now you listen to me.
12:48Kyle's been good to us, he pays rent, he puts food on the table.
12:52He looks after you and this is how you repay him?
12:55He hurts me.
12:57Can you blame him for losing his temper when you do stupid things like this?
13:01I'm telling you girls, you don't know how good you've got it.
13:03It's alright for you isn't it?
13:05You're not the one being smacked around.
13:07Will you just be thankful he's not a drunk like your father was?
13:09Then you'd really have something to complain about.
13:12You get in there and you apologise to those people for wasting their time
13:16and then you get your things.
13:17You're coming home with Kyle and me.
13:20No I'm not.
13:22I am not asking you Lily, I'm telling you.
13:25Now you can argue yourself blue in the face but this is exactly what's going to happen.
13:31You're unbelievable, how do you even have the nerve to stand there?
13:33I've got nothing to hide.
13:35Why would Lily's mum lie about something like that?
13:37Cassie this is between Lily and her family.
13:39Well Mrs Nelson's as bad as he is.
13:41Cassie just relax until we know the full story, alright?
13:47Lily's going to get her things and come home with me.
13:50What?
13:51No no no, Lily you can't go home with them.
13:53Not while he's still there, it'll just keep happening.
13:55Tell him how you got the bruises.
13:56And the truth this time.
13:59I fell down some stairs.
14:01You see, she was making it all up.
14:03Will, you don't have to protect him no matter what your mum says.
14:06She's right Cassie, I lied.
14:08Why are you saying that?
14:10You know what's going to happen if you go home with them.
14:14Get your things.
14:17Sal, you can't let her go.
14:18Look Cassie, it's up to Lily.
14:20It's her choice.
14:28Hey.
14:31Your phone message sounded a bit tense.
14:34What's up?
14:36Crystal said some pretty interesting things when she was here.
14:39Crystal's always got interesting things to say.
14:42Well there's one thing in particular that you seem pretty keen for me to find out about.
14:47What's that?
14:48That you're her father.
14:54So it's true?
14:56It's complicated.
14:58And I can explain.
15:06Cindy and I were working together.
15:09We were mates and we ended up sleeping together.
15:14It was only ever a casual thing.
15:15Is that supposed to make me feel better?
15:17I'm trying to tell you like it was.
15:19Then Cindy felt pregnant and decided that she was going to have the baby.
15:26Cindy, I wasn't that keen on being a dad.
15:28So we came up with a solution that suited both of us.
15:32I would take care of Cindy and the baby financially.
15:38And do my best with Crystal.
15:41Sort of like an uncle.
15:43That's it.
15:44That's my involvement.
15:45How come no one knows about this?
15:47Cindy decided that she didn't want anyone else to know.
15:50She just felt it was easier that way.
15:52So what else do you want to know?
15:55Do I love Cindy?
15:56As a friend?
15:58Yeah.
15:59And why didn't I tell you?
16:02Because that's how Cindy wanted it.
16:05It's as simple as that.
16:07Actually, you lied to me.
16:08It's as simple as that.
16:11I didn't lie to you, okay?
16:12I just didn't tell you.
16:14Alright, I had to respect Cindy.
16:18What about me?
16:19Do the words, I'll always be honest with you, sound familiar?
16:23Or have you told so many lies you don't even know the difference?
16:28Martha, what is the drama?
16:31Alright, there's nothing here for you to worry about.
16:33You lied to me about having a child!
16:35I told you why!
16:36Oh, just get out!
16:37Martha, come on!
16:38No, I said get out!
16:39I'm sick of your excuses!
16:46How could you let her go with them?
16:48I didn't have a choice.
16:50Be reasonable.
16:51We don't have the power to stop Lily's mother from taking her home.
16:54But he is abusing her, and no matter what her mother says,
16:57you don't get those sorts of bruises from falling down the stairs.
17:00No, but that's just the point.
17:01We don't know anything for sure.
17:03Especially since Lily completely changed her story.
17:06Oh, great.
17:07So now you all think she's lying and they're telling the truth.
17:10Lily said it herself.
17:11Her mother forced her to!
17:13Cass, Lily's had plenty of opportunity to get out of there.
17:16She didn't have to go with her mum.
17:18I keep telling you she's scared.
17:21You know what it was like for me.
17:23I got really good at lying and covering up for Maka.
17:26He had me so sucked in to the point that I even started to believe I deserved it.
17:30We are sorry.
17:32But even if Kyle is beating her,
17:34until Lily is prepared to do something about this herself,
17:38there's nothing more that we can do.
17:41You're all just trying to make it not your problem and it's wrong.
17:45If anything happens to her, it's your fault.
17:51Well, it sounds like you got off lucky.
17:52Lucky? I don't understand.
17:54I explained everything to her.
17:56I wouldn't be too thrilled if the guy I was seeing was keeping deep, dark secrets from me.
18:00Kristen's hardly a deep, dark secret.
18:02It's pretty big though. It changes things.
18:05Yeah, but I think it was a bit too full on.
18:07Why would she react that way?
18:08Maybe there's something else going on.
18:10Maybe you struck a nerve.
18:12Yeah.
18:13It's been a pretty big nerve.
18:15I don't want it.
18:18What's this?
18:19I don't want it.
18:21Hey, you don't have to do this, okay?
18:23You're overreacting.
18:24You can't buy me off with your toys, Cam.
18:26Look Martha, I told Cam not to tell anyone.
18:28Not good enough.
18:31These are yours?
18:33What are you doing?
18:34I won't need the costumes anymore.
18:35I quit.
18:54Why won't you believe me?
18:56Do you think I'm making it up?
18:58No.
19:00I don't necessarily think that Lily is either.
19:02So if you have any doubts, you have to do something.
19:05What can I do when Lily's mother blatantly denies that Kyle's abusing her?
19:11Even Lily says it.
19:12I told you.
19:13Well look, I understand that people lie in these situations, but that is what makes everything
19:18much more complicated.
19:20It wasn't complicated when Macca was abusing me.
19:23Even when we both denied it, you jumped straight in.
19:26Well that's different.
19:27You're my daughter.
19:28Nothing was going to stop me from keeping you safe.
19:31And who's going to keep Lily safe?
19:34Oh, Katha, I can't just walk into somebody else's family and take over.
19:39You have to understand that.
19:40I understand.
19:42I understand it.
19:43This absolutely sucks.
19:46Why should Lily have to prove that she's being beaten before she can get help?
19:52The trouble is, there is a way to go about dealing with a situation like this.
19:57And from the minute you broke the rules, everything went off the rails.
20:00But what's the point in sticking to the rules when they don't work?
20:03Lily needed help and Dan's way wasn't working.
20:05Well this way isn't working either.
20:09Yeah, well, we've all failed her.
20:13And I can't deal with knowing that she's going to get hurt again.
20:16And we didn't stop it.
20:18Will you just come inside?
20:19I'll be alone.
20:31Cheers.
20:34You coward.
20:36What are you going on about now?
20:38You know what you've done and I'm telling you right now.
20:40If you touch her again, I'm going straight.
20:43If you want a piece of what Lily's getting, then just keep it up.
20:48Stay away from Lily.
20:59She just found out her boyfriend has a daughter.
21:02I thought I could trust you.
21:04Now, will she be tempted by her ex?
21:06Do you want to have dinner tonight?
21:07Or will she fall for his lies again?
21:10Plus...
21:10If the police aren't going to do anything, then I am.
21:12What will happen when she takes the law into her own hands?
21:15Go get help.
21:16Let me come.
21:16Home and Away tomorrow.
