00:01I called you the other day and a guy answered.
00:05Nathan, the RA.
00:06OK, so you're not seeing someone?
00:09No, of course not, you idiot.
00:11You were right. I've been treating you like a cop and nothing else.
00:15And I like you, OK?
00:22What if the baby belongs to Roman?
00:25And what if you see the way I look with all these scars and you don't want to be with
00:30me anymore?
00:31That'll never happen. I will always love you.
00:34Martha had the paternity test.
00:36It's you. You're the father of her baby.
00:44I don't understand. I thought we were going to wait till the baby was born before we had the paternity
00:48test.
00:48Yeah, well, everything's changed since we made that decision.
00:51How so?
00:53Martha's been advised by the doctors to terminate the pregnancy so she can start on the chemotherapy.
00:59And just with everything else going on, we felt that if we could find out who the father was,
01:05it was one thing that we could control.
01:15Jack, I don't know what to say.
01:17I know this isn't what you wanted.
01:19What I want is for Martha to get better.
01:25But because you're the father, I need you to talk to her.
01:30You've got to convince her that she needs to have this treatment, no matter what.
01:36what you're asking me to support terminating my unborn child.
01:41If it means saving her life, yes.
01:44And I'm sorry for what that means.
01:47But I would have still said the same thing if I was the father.
01:53I love her, right?
01:56And I'm not going to lose her.
01:59If you care about her, you're going to support me on this.
02:04You're going to help me get her better.
02:15Hey, what's going on?
02:21You all right?
02:45You're going to help me get her better.
02:49No, you're not.
02:50You're going to have to do something that would be important to her.
02:52I mean, I'll take you all the time.
03:00Hey, you're in bed. I thought you'd be at the party.
03:04Yeah, I know it's early, but we had a pretty big day, so we just crashed.
03:08Well, I promise not to tell anyone how soft you are if you come out for a drink.
03:11I'm way too tight.
03:12Come on. The only reason I went to the party tonight was because I thought you'd be there,
03:16and then you weren't. And now look what happened. I'm drunk and missing you even more.
03:21Well, it's really sweet, but I can't.
03:24I'll use this one little drink. Mash out.
03:26No, I'm really not up for it, but thank you.
03:28All right.
03:29Hey, do you like witch's hats? I saw some outside the gate. I can sue you one if you...
03:34No, you probably shouldn't, considering you're an RA.
03:39You're right. Good point.
03:42Man, gorgeous and smart.
03:53Oh, for the love of God, will you just put him out of his misery and go out with the
04:00guy?
04:00I can't.
04:01Why not?
04:03Besides the fact he can hardly stand up right now.
04:07Look, Nathan's a nice guy, but...
04:09He's not Rick.
04:13It just feels too soon. I know I'm meant to be moving on, but...
04:17I don't know, I'd feel bad, like I'm cheating on Rick or something.
04:22Maddie, you've broken up with Rick.
04:24I know, but I've already told him I'm not seeing anyone.
04:27Well, tell him you are.
04:31You're about as far away from Rick as you could possibly get without being in another country.
04:36Conditions for moving on don't get much better than that.
04:40Otherwise, you might as well be back in Summer Bay.
04:43Unless that's what you want.
04:45It isn't.
04:48Well, call Rick and tell him that you're going to see other people.
04:51It's the only way, Maddie.
04:54Okay.
04:57Okay.
05:13G'day, Maddie. It's Health.
05:15Mrs Stewart, hi.
05:16How's the Wild West reading?
05:18Uh, yeah, good. Just settling in.
05:21Um, Maddie, Rick's in bed. He left his phone downstairs.
05:25Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot about the time difference.
05:28Maybe you could ring back tomorrow.
05:30Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
05:31I'll even know you called, though.
05:32Okay, thanks. See ya.
05:50I'm sorry we didn't tell you you were getting the test done.
05:53That's okay.
05:54Jack explained everything.
05:56Okay.
06:09I couldn't believe it when Jack told me I was going to be a dad again.
06:15I know you wanted it to be Jack's.
06:18It doesn't make it any easier.
06:21He'd still want me to give up the baby and do the treatment.
06:26And I know he thinks you talking to me might change my mind, but...
06:30Will it?
06:32So, Martha, Jack loves you.
06:35He wants you to get better.
06:37We all do.
06:38I understand that. I really do.
06:40But I'm not giving up my baby.
06:43And maybe Jack thinks because it's not his that I might,
06:46but it's so much more than that.
06:54Last year, I had a termination.
06:59And somehow, deep down,
07:01this is my way of making up for it.
07:05So I won't have the treatment till after the baby's born.
07:11I really need you on my side with this.
07:14Martha, I am on your side.
07:16It's just, if you don't start the chemotherapy straight away,
07:19you may not get well.
07:19Don't ask me to change my mind.
07:21Because I can't and I won't.
07:25I really need your support on my decision.
07:27But even if it means going against what Jack wants...
07:29I'm not turning this into you versus Jack.
07:32This is my child.
07:34Our child.
07:36If you won't help me fight for it,
07:37who will?
08:06I'm not turning this into you.
08:09Um, I keep having these terrible flashbacks of last night,
08:12including coming to your door and making a fool of myself.
08:17I can't imagine why you said no to coming out.
08:19It's okay.
08:20You didn't make a fool of yourself.
08:21Well, I still want to say sorry.
08:22It wasn't like I was trying to, you know,
08:24put pressure on you or anything.
08:26Just had a few too many drinks.
08:28Okay, way too many drinks.
08:45Climb and government departments.
08:47The hoops they make you jump through and drive you...
08:51Where's the shelving I asked you to pick up?
08:53You know, the stuff that was left over from the den that Leah said we could have.
08:57Oh, it's the truth, mate.
08:58We've got stock arriving this afternoon.
09:01I'll go and do it now.
09:09Hey.
09:10Mr. the pup, I asked you how things are shaving out.
09:14Apparently, well, at this rate, we'll be lucky to be open by Christmas.
09:17Fair dinkum.
09:18It's an uphill battle trying to keep his mind on the job.
09:21I don't know.
09:22Maybe I did the wrong thing by roping him into this.
09:26It was supposed to be a retirement plan for me and a future for him.
09:30But his mind's on young Matty.
09:32It's probably just not the right time.
09:34He's 20 years old.
09:35He's a partner in a small business.
09:37Maybe it's just too much responsibility.
09:38Yeah, but at his age, I was completely settled.
09:41He doesn't know what responsibility is.
09:43Now, if you were with the woman that you loved,
09:45with Greg, she's somewhere else.
09:47Yeah, but he had the choice.
09:49I mean, he could have followed her.
09:51Because he was thinking with his head, not his heart.
09:53Not like you or me at his age.
09:55You know, we knew that life was too short.
09:57I think that's just starting to dawn on Rick now.
10:10Hey, thanks so much for this, Lee.
10:12It's a big help.
10:12Oh, that's OK.
10:13They'd be going to waste otherwise.
10:15What a thrill for Alf, opening up a bath store with his grandson.
10:18Yeah, yeah, for me too.
10:20Really?
10:20Oh, that's good to hear.
10:21I know things have been a bit tough for you with Matty leaving,
10:25but if you're as committed to this as Alfie's,
10:27I think this business is going to do really well for you guys.
10:33Martha, I'll support you in whatever you decide.
10:35It's just you getting better is the most important thing to me too.
10:40Yeah, I know.
10:42Jack.
10:49Roman and I were just talking about the baby.
10:52Right.
10:54And the treatment.
10:56And when I should have it.
11:00But it doesn't sound as though he's been able to change your mind.
11:04Jack, Roman's supporting my decision in having the baby.
11:20How's it going, the accountant?
11:22Good, yeah.
11:24This rack's just about done.
11:26Yeah, I can see that.
11:27Thanks.
11:29Listen, mate, there's something I've got to be pretty direct about.
11:32All right, listen, I know what you're going to say, OK?
11:34There's no point in saying it.
11:36I've been thinking about this and...
11:40Ever since Matty left, I've just given in to thinking about it.
11:43I don't even know why.
11:44There's no point.
11:45It's a waste of time.
11:46I thought that I couldn't live without her, but of course I can.
11:50I mean, that's stupid.
11:51I'm just using that as an excuse.
11:54So, I'm apologising for being away with the pixies
11:57when I'm meant to be focusing on work
11:58and I get now that this is where I'm meant to be, OK?
12:02With my grandad who's always stuck by me.
12:05You finished?
12:06Yes.
12:08Good.
12:08Because you're fired.
12:16What?
12:22Consider this your severance pay.
12:25Did you not hear what I said?
12:26I heard every word of it, but none of it's right.
12:29You know it and so do I.
12:31Well, go on.
12:32Open it.
12:35Yeah.
12:44I'm away to Perth.
12:45I got you on the last flight tonight.
12:47I can drive you down to the city so you can catch it.
12:52Why are you doing this?
12:54To stop you making a mistake that you'll regret for the rest of your life.
12:58We both know your heart's not in this, mate.
13:01It's over there with Matty.
13:03Look, Grant, I've made you a promise, OK?
13:05I'm not just going to walk out on you.
13:07Why do you think I just fired you?
13:10You can't just stop thinking about her, mate.
13:12It doesn't work like that.
13:14You've got to follow your heart.
13:16Because if you don't, you'll finish up being a grumpy old coot just like me.
13:22So, what happens if I get over there and she still doesn't want to be with me?
13:28What happens then?
13:29There'll always be a bait shop in Summer Bay that'll have you any day of the week.
13:48I'm not taking sides here, Jack, but Martha's the one that has to go through with this.
13:52Right, and this has got nothing to do with wanting to see your little son or daughter.
13:55Jack.
13:55No, it hasn't.
13:57It's Martha's decision.
13:59Not mine.
14:02Maybe you've got some privacy.
14:05Jack.
14:06Please, you have to understand.
14:11Hey.
14:11Hey.
14:12Sorry, guys, this is a bad time.
14:13I can come back.
14:14No, it's fine, Rick.
14:15Come in.
14:16Yeah, come in, mate.
14:19So, what's news?
14:21Ah, I've come to say goodbye.
14:24What?
14:24Where are you going?
14:27To see Matty?
14:29Yeah, playing leaves tonight.
14:30So exciting.
14:31For how long?
14:33I don't know.
14:34Indefinitely.
14:36Grandad's going to run the bait shop on his own.
14:38Well, that's, of course, if Matty still wants me.
14:41But it was Grandad's idea.
14:43You know, he fired me and he bought the ticket.
14:45Didn't give you a choice.
14:46Yeah.
14:47Are you happy?
14:48Yeah.
14:48I'm, um, I'm really excited.
14:50I've given in to thinking about it, so I can't, I can't sit still.
14:53My little cousin going all the way across the country.
14:57You know what?
14:58I'm, I'm really going to miss you.
15:00And I don't want you to think that I'm, I'm just bailing when things are so hard for you.
15:04I don't think that.
15:05I know.
15:06It's just, you know, you've been so good to me and you've, you've always looked after me.
15:09And, well, I honestly don't know where I'd be if, if you weren't around.
15:14Well, you don't need to worry about that, because I will always be around.
15:17And nothing will ever change that.
15:20I love you.
15:21I love you, too.
15:40Hey.
15:40Hey.
15:41I was thinking we could grab a drink later.
15:43Well, after your workout, maybe.
15:45I'm not sure what I'm doing tonight.
15:47I, I said I'd probably talk to Nicole about everything.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Okay.
15:55Roman, I'm here for you if you want me to be.
15:59It's just, I need to know where I stand.
16:01I need to know if, well, we've got something here or not.
16:05I think we do.
16:06It's just, I think we need to keep things casual.
16:11It's all I can give at the moment.
16:12I've just got so much on my plate.
16:14And it wouldn't be fair on you to make a commitment and not follow through.
16:23All right, I'm going to intercept your packing with a beer.
16:27Oh, jeez.
16:28Thank you, mate.
16:30Here's to following your heart.
16:32Cheers.
16:37I'll tell you what, it's lucky there's no women around to see us blokes talking about feelings.
16:42Knock, knock.
16:42Hey.
16:43That I'd save you the trouble of dropping by at the diner to say goodbye.
16:46All right.
16:47Oh, I'm so excited for you, even more than I was about the bank shop.
16:50Hey, settle down.
16:52Well, I just finished giving him this whole pep talk and then he rings back until he's been fired.
16:56Which is actually impossible because I'm a partner.
16:59You were a partner.
17:01Oh, so, what did Maddie say?
17:03Is she excited?
17:04I haven't, I haven't told her.
17:05I think I'm just going to rock up.
17:08You think that's a good idea?
17:09I mean, in her mind, you two have been broken up.
17:12Well, if I can get a good night's sleep and then talk to her probably first thing in the morning.
17:15I'm sure she's going to love it.
17:17Well, I hope so.
17:18She will.
17:19Think about it.
17:19You've dropped everything to fly across the country to be with her.
17:22Isn't that what she always wanted you to do?
17:23Yeah.
17:25There is the issue of saying goodbye to everyone.
17:27Well, after you've seen Tony and Rachel, you can call in and see Irene.
17:30And Kirstie and Ollie will be home soon.
17:32We're having an impromptu baby.
17:33You should join us.
17:34Oh, thanks, but I've got to get back to work, actually.
17:37So, I should say goodbye.
17:38See ya.
17:39Bye.
17:40Oh, give my love to Maddie.
17:41Yeah, I will.
17:42You will.
17:42You okay?
17:43Yeah, just, um, can't really believe this is happening.
17:47You know, I was a different bloke when I first came here.
17:49I was a bit angry and messed up.
17:51But, I don't know, now the base home, I never really thought I'd be leaving.
17:54Well, like I said to Sal, it never leaves you, no matter where you are in the world.
17:59Yeah.
18:00Well, let's hope Maddie likes surprises, eh?
18:15Hey.
18:17I was going to check to make sure that you're still alive.
18:20Just.
18:20I slept most of the day, so I'm ready to do it all again.
18:24Why not?
18:25I think maybe you need to eat something.
18:27Have you had much today?
18:27Does two minute noodles count?
18:30No.
18:31Which is actually why I came to see you.
18:34I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab a bite to eat together?
18:38Um, yeah.
18:40That'd be great.
18:41I'd love to.
18:43Great.
18:49Come in.
18:50Would you like a drink?
18:51No.
18:52This won't take long.
18:53I just came to give you my answer.
18:56About us.
18:58I can deal with it if you can.
19:02What?
19:02You put it out there.
19:03Don't tell me now you're not up for it.
19:04Oh, no, no, no.
19:05I am.
19:06I totally am.
19:06I just thought you...
19:08Just what?
19:08Didn't think that I could do the casual thing too?
19:11Well, I'm glad I was wrong.
19:16Jack.
19:17How could you do that to Martha?
19:19We've been through all this.
19:20I have to support her no matter what she decides.
19:21I can't turn my back on her.
19:23I asked you to help her see sense.
19:25I thought if the father of her baby was telling her to reconsider, she would.
19:29Instead, you sit back and you tell her to go for it?
19:32Don't you think I've been through all this with her?
19:34I've told her how worried I am, how maybe she shouldn't go through with it.
19:37Maybe.
19:37We can't force her, Jack.
19:40Look, I know you think I have my own agenda in this, but I'm telling you I don't.
19:44It's not what it's about.
19:45No, it's about Martha.
19:47And if she dies, it's going to be on your head.
19:59I'm sorry.
20:14Who's that?
20:16Daisy must have picked up and left a key behind again.
20:26Rick.
20:27Hi.
20:28What are you doing here?
20:31I just thought I'd surprise you.
20:34Yeah, but...
20:36Here I am.
20:38Sorry, this is just a bit of a shock.
20:43Can I come in?
20:52Hey, mate.
20:54It's not what it looks like, I promise you.
20:56Whatever.
20:56Rick, please wait.
21:07He thinks his ex has moved on.
21:10This is just a misunderstanding.
21:12Can she find him before he leaves forever?
21:14Home and Away.
