00:01Even if I did want to fight and I'm not saying that I do, it can't happen.
00:05Why not?
00:05Because I've got a girlfriend to think about.
00:08Anyway, I was trying to hose the guys down and one of them decided the conversation was over
00:11and smacked me and I went face first into the bar. It wasn't pretty.
00:14Oh, ouch.
00:16That is so typical Drew. I bet I didn't even get a hit.
00:19I don't want to live in a war zone, so you and Annie better sort this out.
00:22Well, it's kind of hard when she won't even talk to me.
00:24She's too busy sticking up for Melody.
00:40Hi.
00:41Hey.
00:43I was getting a bit worried. You weren't around when I woke up.
00:46Oh, sorry. I went for a walk.
00:48You were really restless last night, so I didn't want to disturb you.
00:52I didn't keep you awake, did I?
00:55No. Not really.
00:59So much has happened in the last few days. I think my mind's forgotten how to shut down.
01:04Yeah, well, it's over now. You and Jack are in the clear, so I'm sure things will get back to
01:08normal soon.
01:09It'll be harder for Jack. He still has to deal with Sam's funeral and sort out Rory.
01:14I'm sure he'll keep it together. He's got lots of support around him.
01:21Look, I'd better get going. I want to be there when Leah opens up.
01:34Hey, eyes shut. No peeking.
01:36Whoa, wait for us.
01:37What are you guys doing here?
01:38Well, it's the first day. We had to be the first in.
01:40And so did I.
01:41Well, that's not official or anything, but since you're all here, here we go. Ta-da.
01:46It's cool, Mum.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Oh, it's just what the kiddies need, Pete.
01:50Oh, so you really like it?
01:51It's great.
01:54Do you think Dan would have liked it?
01:56Yeah, I'm sure he would have loved it.
01:57I hope so.
01:58Do you mind if I steal Colleen? Because I'd really like to open up.
02:02I'll give you a hint.
02:03Feej, I'm in the kitchen if you need me.
02:11Hey.
02:14Feel like some company or would you rather be alone?
02:16Oh, take a seat.
02:25You look about as flat as I feel.
02:27Mmm.
02:29Should be on top of the world.
02:31But we're both clearly not.
02:35After a few drinks last night, I thought I'd sleep for a week.
02:38Not even close to it.
02:39I think I spent a couple of hours down here from about 2am.
02:43I thought no one ought to pop by.
02:51We will start to feel better soon, won't we, Jack?
02:55Yeah, we will.
02:58But some things are never going to be the same again.
03:03Sam's told me one thing.
03:06I've been more honest from now on.
03:11I'm never going to suppress my real feelings ever again.
03:15Have people making their way in spite.
03:21They're such a comfort to each other.
03:24They must be so relieved they're not under suspicion anymore.
03:27Of course, I knew all along that they were innocent, unlike some I could mention.
03:32I, um, had to send Madge Wilkins straight.
03:35She thought that Martha was involved in...
03:37Colleen!
03:38Can you open up, please?
03:40Oh, well, I'm very sorry.
03:42It's a crime to be happy for your friends now, is it?
03:52Well, this is bad luck, all round.
03:56You'll be out of the Anzac Day fights and I'll have to find someone to replace you at short notice.
04:01And that's my problem, not yours.
04:03I expect you were more worried about how you're going to feed the kids, right?
04:08Well, you stick to the story that we discussed and you'll be looked after.
04:11That's a promise.
04:18But you give the cops one hint about the fight and a broken jaw will be the least of your
04:22worries.
04:23We clear?
04:26Good man.
04:33Hey honey, have you seen next door yet?
04:36Oh, this is going to be stupid.
04:38Why was I supposed to pretend I wanted to be Melody's boyfriend?
04:40Still being given the cold shoulder, I see.
04:43Annie's never been like this before.
04:45Well, sisters can be very difficult creatures, as I know only too well.
04:50Yeah.
04:51Look, I might head home.
04:52Uh, listen, young Vijay's still next door.
04:55Why don't you go in there and spend some time with him?
04:57Yeah, look, I have to head in there soon too.
04:58I'm meant to be helping Leah out for a while.
05:00I'll meet you in there if you like.
05:10You girls are being extremely juvenile. You're acting like you're in primary school.
05:13It's Jeff's fault.
05:14How is this Jeff's fault? He has done nothing but look after you your entire life.
05:18This all started with your matchmaking.
05:20If Jeff was interested in Melody, there wouldn't be a problem, but he isn't.
05:24It sucks, but it's life.
05:26And I am sorry, Melody, but he's not interested, so move on.
05:30Don't listen to her.
05:31She's just angry because she's been dumped.
05:38Everything okay?
05:39You seem a bit edgy this morning.
05:42I'm a good listener if you ever need to talk about stuff.
05:44Or you could just tell me to mind my own business.
05:47Then mind your own business.
05:48No, look, it's greatly appreciated, but...
05:51But?
05:52If I've ever got a problem, I always try to talk directly with the person involved.
05:56Then, for what it's worth, I wouldn't put off doing that for too long.
06:08How good's this?
06:10Do you think we take furniture for granted?
06:12Do you think we do when everything gets stolen?
06:14I think I was right about the colour.
06:15You're right about everything, Beth.
06:19Oh, that's good.
06:22Everything okay?
06:24Yeah, it's fine.
06:26Wow, these couches really are comfy, aren't they?
06:29Well, no, James is subject.
06:31I saw the look on your face.
06:33Yeah, it's Roman.
06:34He's all insecure about our relationship all of a sudden.
06:36And Lee's usually so cool about everything.
06:38It's probably all the time we've been spending with Jack.
06:40Jack is my ex-husband for a reason.
06:43Yeah, but think about everything you've been through.
06:45I mean, you've been living in each other's pockets.
06:47Yeah, well, he's got nothing to worry about.
06:49Well, anybody could be worried about your relationship with Jack.
06:51I know I would be.
06:52There is nothing going on between me and Jack.
06:55It's just tacky to talk like that.
06:57Sam hasn't even been buried yet.
06:58Alright, don't yell.
06:59You don't have to convince me.
07:00I'm just saying that I can see his point.
07:03Anyway, say what the guy's problem is.
07:04It might not be that much of a big deal.
07:06Yeah, I'm sure it's nothing.
07:10Hey, Doc, you're not looking after my mate Stewie by any chance, are you?
07:14Yes, I am.
07:15Were you with him when he was injured?
07:16No, no.
07:17First I heard of it was when I got a call this morning.
07:20Well, you don't have any idea where or when the injuries occurred.
07:23Only what Stewie told me.
07:25He said he'd been beaten up last night.
07:27He didn't seek treatment then.
07:29Oh, you reckon he felt okay and woke up this morning feeling crook?
07:34So how is he?
07:36Well, he'd be a lot better if he came in last night.
07:38Yeah, well, out of my control.
07:40Well, your friend has some serious injuries.
07:43He has a fractured jaw, serious bruising and a concussion.
07:47You'll fix him up alright, yeah?
07:49We'll have to wire his jaw shut and keep him under observation for a few days.
07:53Any chance he'll be out any earlier?
07:55No.
07:56And as a series of solder pieces have taken place, we're obliged to inform the police.
08:01Yeah, listen, Doc.
08:02Um, Stewie and the cops don't always see eye to eye, you know what I mean?
08:05So if you could see your way to not tell them, I know Stewie would really appreciate it.
08:11I have a legal obligation to call the police, so...
08:15Right, okay.
08:16Well, if that's the case, you have to do what you have to do.
08:19Thanks for the update.
08:20Um, I'll be in with Stewie if you need me.
08:26That guy's seriously dodgy. I know when I'm being eyed to.
08:30He seems very familiar. I just can't remember where I know him from.
08:37Maddie, can you change 50?
08:39No, sorry.
08:40Well, while he's in van three and moving out, I don't want to give him an excuse to hang around.
08:46Oh, well, Rick's wallet...
08:50I'm really glad that they're going. They seem to rub Rick up the wrong way.
08:55What?
09:03You won this in the casino?
09:05Yeah.
09:08Was this before or after you got in the fight at the pub?
09:12It was before.
09:14You seem unsure.
09:15No, it was before.
09:19Should I call Drew?
09:22No, you don't need to call Drew.
09:24So how did you get the bruises?
09:29Stewie didn't even see the guy, so what's the point in you getting involved?
09:33Well, if he was assaulted in the street, we want to make sure it doesn't happen to someone else.
09:37Absolutely.
09:39Well, good luck catching him. If I think of anything else, I'll give you a call.
09:42Thanks.
09:47I remember that lowlife now. He brought his wife in the other night, some emergency with her pregnancy, and he
09:52was hardly the supportive father-to-be.
09:54Oh, that so does not surprise me.
09:57Hey, Jason.
09:59What's the story with that guy? I got the feeling he was giving me the runaround before.
10:02Yeah, he's good at that. Well, we suspect he's been running an illegal fighting ring, but so far we haven't
10:07been able to prove anything.
10:08Stewie's injuries are consistent with that.
10:10Look, call me if he says anything interesting.
10:12Well, the shape he's in now, I don't think he'll be saying anything for a while.
10:17See ya.
10:20How'd you get the money?
10:24You fought for Noel, didn't you?
10:26Yeah, mate, look, it was a one-off thing, okay?
10:28I've had no job and no money, and one fight, all my debts are gone.
10:32I can probably even buy a car.
10:33Alright, so you didn't trust me enough to tell me that before?
10:37Well, I mean, you know how you've been about it.
10:38Yes, I would have hated it, but if I knew that it was something that you really wanted to do,
10:42that you needed to do, I would have said yes.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:47I really am.
10:49I shouldn't have lied to you, I just, I didn't want you to worry about me.
10:52Well, of course I would have worried, you could have been seriously injured.
10:55I'm fine.
10:59You know what, it isn't even actually the fight that I'm that upset about, it's the fact that you lied
11:04to me again.
11:06I did it to protect you.
11:07I don't need that kind of protection.
11:10You lied to me straight after we promised that we would be completely honest with each other.
11:17This is the exact same conversation we had after the whole Viv thing.
11:20There's nothing like what happened with Viv.
11:23This is it, Rick.
11:25Lie to me again and it's over.
11:36Hey.
11:38How's it all going?
11:40Okay, I suppose.
11:43I had a chat to your therapist.
11:47She seems very happy with your progress.
11:50Yeah, I'm getting better.
11:53She thought that maybe you didn't think you were ready to go home.
12:00The thing is, Aiden, physically you have the all clear.
12:03So it makes it very difficult for us to justify keeping you here.
12:09Yeah, it's just the house.
12:13Now that it's all out there, I don't think I can live there anymore.
12:19Have you told your dad how you feel?
12:21Yeah, he just keeps talking about starting over.
12:25Him and me, I mean.
12:27Well, this is a chance for you to do that.
12:30Yeah.
12:33But I don't think I can do that.
12:36And not while I'm living where it all happened.
12:41Well, it's not as if we're gonna kick you out this afternoon or anything.
12:47Let me talk to your therapist again, okay?
12:53Look, when I said we needed to chat, I didn't have to move out of the lunch rush in mind.
12:58You're not exactly running for feet.
13:03This isn't a discussion I want to have here.
13:06Clearly you have a problem, so talk to me.
13:09Okay. I've got a problem with Jack. Is that what you want to hear?
13:13Jack is going through a really terrible time. He needs all the support he can get. He can't get through
13:17this on his own. I need support too.
13:21And that's it? You really just think you're being supportive to Jack?
13:26Yes, I do.
13:28Last night, I watched you and Jack together. You were completely fixated on each other. I wasn't even on your
13:32radar screen.
13:34I don't want to buy into a three-way love triangle, Martha. I'm not interested.
13:37Jack's my friend.
13:40He's not a friend. He never has been.
13:44Stop kidding yourself.
13:46What are you trying to say?
13:48Last night, I was jealous. And that's not something I want to be.
13:52I don't believe this, Roman.
13:54Go be with Jack, Martha. That's what you really want.
13:58And now you can do it without feeling guilty.
14:03I'll move out this afternoon.
14:05It's probably for the best.
14:07First order for the den. Two chicken wraps.
14:24There you go. Enjoy.
14:26See, I thought we'd be getting like some free grub because of the opening.
14:29The official opening isn't for a few weeks and I may feed you then if you're lucky.
14:32Some beer would be good too.
14:35Or not.
14:38This place looks great.
14:40Shame about the customers though.
14:42Oh, Aunty, give it a rest.
14:43Let's go over here away from him.
14:48You okay?
14:50I can't understand why she's doing this. I've had enough.
14:53Aunty's never had girlfriends before. She's only had you.
14:56And now she's hanging out with kids her own age.
14:57She's just trying to be part of the crowd. You don't prove she can fit in.
14:59So I'm just supposed to let it all happen?
15:01Oh, it's annoying but it's pretty normal teenage girl stuff.
15:04Just don't take it personally.
15:06How come it took you so long to work that out like I mean?
15:08Aunty, grow up.
15:09It's the truth as far as I'm concerned.
15:12You know what?
15:13Belle was right.
15:14You are lucky to have a brother like Geoff and I hate that you're horrible to him.
15:18Anyway, it's not your problem, Annie. It's me he's not interested in.
15:25Sorry.
15:32Melody!
15:33Melody, wait!
15:37You okay?
15:37What do you care?
15:41Sorry.
15:43Didn't mean to bite your head off.
15:45No, it's cool.
15:45No, it's not. It makes me just as bad as the others.
15:50Belle's right.
15:52I need to grow up.
15:55But I really thought you wanted to be with me and when I found out you didn't, it hurt.
16:00Look, I didn't mean for all that stuff to happen. It just, it just got out of control.
16:06I know you don't like me like that.
16:08It's okay.
16:10I understand.
16:13I really appreciate you coming to see if I was alright.
16:22Martha.
16:23Thank you for the room. I appreciate it.
16:25You're a caravan park. It's what you do.
16:28So, have you spoken to Cassie and Sally, are they?
16:31Yeah, Pippa's settled in.
16:33Last time I spoke to Sal, she was looking into working in an orphanage.
16:36Wow, Sal's just like Sal.
16:38That's pretty predictable.
16:42Okay, your bed's made up. I'll take your base.
16:45Thanks.
16:47So you and Roman have split up?
16:49He's concerned Jack's become a major complication.
16:52And has he?
16:54No, we're just friends.
16:56Can you and Jack really ever just be friends?
17:00He needs my support and I don't see why I shouldn't give it to him.
17:03Maybe you should think about what you really want.
17:05Well, today I lost my boyfriend and tomorrow, who knows.
17:10Maybe I'll think about what I want then.
17:18Promise?
17:20Yeah, that's right. I should have it fixed pretty soon.
17:24Mate, I don't enjoy arguing with you.
17:26Can we put all the fight stuff behind us?
17:29I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you.
17:31Well, the only way to make it up to me is be honest, that's all.
17:38So can we kiss while we make up.
17:49Okay, you need to have a look at this.
17:51Honestly.
18:02So, is the board getting any use at all?
18:05Well, so far it's been used to insult an older brother, spread obscene jokes and to post some rather explicit
18:12drawings.
18:13Let's just say a couple of the local boys don't need you to give them lessons on anatomy.
18:18Well, Dan would have loved this place. It's a wonderful tribute to him.
18:23Yeah.
18:24Hey doc, how's Aidan doing?
18:26Oh, he's doing well. In fact, he's probably ready to go home soon.
18:30Oh, great. And when can we go see him?
18:32He's doing okay, but maybe he's not ready to tolerate your lame jokes just yet.
18:37Why can't we go see him?
18:38Well, because I'm his doctor and I said no.
18:41Great.
18:42Listen, thanks for the talk. Can I give you a call a bit later?
18:44Yeah, sure.
18:53Here. Have a look.
18:57Apparently someone's figured out what the board's actually about.
19:03So, Aidan's been making really good progress, and especially where his dad's concerned.
19:07I'm really pleased the kid's getting better, Rach, but what's it got to do with me?
19:11For reasons that you can probably understand, Aidan doesn't feel he's ready to move back into the family home.
19:17So, he needs somewhere to live.
19:19Why don't you think I should take him in?
19:20I know it's a big ask, but you're really good with him, so I thought, maybe...
19:24Well, it's one thing to give the kid the odd piece of advice, Rach, but living with him, that's a
19:28totally different thing.
19:29I know it can be difficult, but I thought you'd made a connection with him.
19:32A small connection.
19:33It's not going to be for long, okay?
19:34Sorry, I can't help.
19:36I know how daunting it can be to suddenly have the responsibility of a teenager thrust upon you, but he
19:41doesn't trust a lot of people.
19:43I'm not your guy, Rach. I'm ex-army for a start, and he has issues with that.
19:47Plus, reading between the lines, I don't think living with another male is what he needs right now, either.
19:51Well, Morag and Martha are going to be there.
19:53Martha's moved out.
19:55I'm so sorry, I didn't know.
19:57It's okay.
19:59It's just, this is not what I need in my life right now.
20:06Well, at least think about it, okay?
20:08I'm not interested in looking after a troubled teenager, okay?
20:17I'm sorry I asked, and I'm sorry about Martha.
20:22Don't worry, I'll figure something out, okay?
20:24Would youall?
20:42Hi.
20:49Oh, glad I caught you when the little miss was out.
20:54I want to rethink that, mate.
20:58The little miss is very interested in what you have to say.
21:13He is.
21:14Wow, hello.
21:15And look who she's got her eyes on.
21:18Just going to be next door if you want to come and have a chat when you're free.
21:21But is he interested?
21:23I can multitask.
21:24Home and away tomorrow.
