00:01It's not a problem, you just say when and we stop.
00:06I don't think we'll need to this time.
00:16No one touches this tank except for Nicole, you got that?
00:19Yes, alright Elliot, we said okay, you don't have to ram it down our throats, alright?
00:22Alright mate, that's it, you're both finished.
00:24So strip off your gear, thanks, your lesson ends here.
00:27I think I'm falling in love with you.
00:38I do really, really like you, Nicole.
00:41Don't say things that you don't mean, it's not fair.
00:43No, but I'm sorry, I do mean it, I really mean it.
00:45No, no you don't, leave me alone.
00:52So let me get this straight, you actually told Nicole that you had the hotspot?
00:56No, I told her that I like her.
00:58I mean, I honestly didn't even know I felt that way until staying right in front of her saying it.
01:01No, it just like hit me right there and then.
01:03And?
01:04How did she take it?
01:06Not very well.
01:08First she didn't believe me and then she was just more annoyed than anything.
01:11Really?
01:12That's interesting.
01:13What do you mean interesting, it's a bad thing isn't it?
01:15No, not necessarily.
01:17We just have to find out for sure what she's really thinking.
01:21Never thought I'd do something like this.
01:23What, be honest about your feelings?
01:24No, tell another guy's girlfriend that I like her.
01:27Relax.
01:27You haven't broken any laws, you just gave Nicole a compliment.
01:33So what do I do now?
01:35When you see her today, you have to play it cool.
01:38Got it?
01:39Yeah, okay.
01:40Then again, playing cool's not really your thing, is it?
01:44Basically, you just have to kind of ignore her.
01:46And whatever you do, don't be the first one to speak.
01:50Wouldn't that make it weird though?
01:51No.
01:51Boo!
01:51That would be cool.
02:04Elliot!
02:05What a nice surprise.
02:07Why didn't you return any of my phone calls last night?
02:10I was totally swamped with homework.
02:12I was gonna text you on my way to school.
02:15Sorry.
02:15I guess I'm just paranoid that your dad's opinion on me might be rubbing off on you.
02:22I asked him about your brother last night.
02:25Really?
02:27What did he say?
02:28What do you think?
02:29Nothing.
02:30He went into shutdown mode.
02:32Yeah, that figures.
02:33He's just trying to cover up what really happened to Mark.
02:37Elliot, can I ask you something?
02:40Sure.
02:41Are you with me because you like me?
02:45Or because you just want to get information from my dad?
02:49Why would you say that?
02:51It's just that you've got this weird thing going on with him and you seem pretty obsessed by the fact
02:56that he was there when your brother died.
02:58Look, I know I've been a bit fooling about Mark, but Nicole, I'm with you because I like you.
03:10As far as I can tell, my sister's the one putting in all the work with Roman and what's she
03:14getting out of it?
03:14I don't know.
03:16Not enough.
03:17He's too busy running around after your precious Nicole.
03:21People think Charlie's tough, but she's actually real softy.
03:24She just wants someone who loves her.
03:26Nicole.
03:27Hi, hey, I was hoping to catch you before you went to class.
03:31Listen, I just wanted to let you know that I didn't mean to say what I said yesterday.
03:34I mean, no, I meant what I said, I just didn't mean to say it.
03:39It came out completely wrong and at the wrong time.
03:41Because, yeah, I know you're with Elliot and I should have done that, but I just didn't want you to
03:45think that no one else cares about you.
03:47Anyway, you know what, just forget us anything, anything at all. I'm sorry.
03:52Jeffrey, what happened to playing cool?
03:57You see, Dad obviously hasn't been paying his mortgage, so the banks held off as long as they could and
04:03they called to say they have to act on it now.
04:06I didn't even think of that kind of stuff. There must be all sorts of bills owing by now.
04:10You see, they know the cops are after him, so they've frozen his accounts too.
04:13What are they going to do?
04:14Well, he's in arrears a few months, so unless I can come up with the money, they're going to value
04:20the house and have a mortgage e-sale.
04:21You're kidding.
04:24I can't believe I was in such a good mood yesterday and now this happens.
04:29And the place is a mess, Bill.
04:31Look, I've got a free period this morning, so I've got to go home, clean the place up, get it
04:35ready for the valuation and get all this stuff sorted.
04:39Well, I'll help you.
04:40No, you really don't have to do that.
04:42Well, I want to and I'm not taking no for an answer.
04:45Come on.
04:46Come on.
04:49What the hell is all it?
04:51Colleen, did you...
04:53Who ordered all this pasta?
04:54Was that Irene?
04:55No, it was delivered free of charge.
04:57When?
04:58Oh, this morning before you arrived.
05:00By that woman who was in here yesterday.
05:02She left you a note.
05:04Of course, she wasn't interested in anything that I had to say.
05:07She only wanted to deal with you.
05:13You know, it's one thing for him to stuff everything up, but when he runs away and makes everything a
05:17thousand times worse.
05:19You know, sooner or later it is going to catch up with him.
05:22Yeah, but I have to be the one that sticks around and deals with it.
05:25Well, is there anyone else in your family who can help?
05:27Not really.
05:31Hey, dude, don't worry about the cupboards.
05:32We'll just focus on the main areas like the kitchen, living and the bathrooms.
05:36I think we're going to go near the bedrooms.
05:40Do you think you're ever going to see your dad again?
05:43Probably.
05:44When he gets desperate enough.
05:47You know, I don't even know why I'm helping him out.
05:50I mean, all he's ever done is cause problems for me.
05:56G'day, mate.
05:57Just called around to get the mask.
05:58Yeah, just on the counter.
06:06So, how's business been this morning?
06:08Fine.
06:10Any takers for the scuba classes this arvo?
06:12Cause if there is, I'll have to refuel the boat.
06:15Nope.
06:16Not a one.
06:18That's what I said.
06:20Well, I've got to slip round to the diner for a minute and then go to the surf club,
06:23so you'll have to take your lunch a bit later today.
06:26I've got a few things I need to take care of.
06:28Well, can't they wait for an hour?
06:29And I'm planning on meeting Nicole for lunch, so no, not really.
06:35Righto, then I'll be back to relieve you shortly.
06:37I'll sort the surf club out later.
06:39Thanks.
06:48Alright, I'm all done.
06:51Not exactly the most fun way to spend the day off, is it?
06:55Hey, look, I was thinking, um,
06:57what if you could pay off your dad's arrears?
06:59You know, get it up to date.
07:01Yeah, well, he's not exactly around to make the payments anyway, so...
07:04Yeah, but if, you know, you could take it over somehow,
07:06you could keep the house, right?
07:08Well, maybe, but why would I want to do that now?
07:11Because maybe your dad will come back and he can sort it out,
07:13or even better still, you could sell the house on the time that's right.
07:16I'm sure you'd get a lot more money than the bank will from a mortgagee sale.
07:20Well, at least then you'd have something for your future.
07:24You know, I mean, it doesn't matter, I don't have that kind of money, so...
07:28Yeah, but I do.
07:31I've been working for a couple of years now.
07:33I've about $4,000 saved.
07:35I can't take your money, Belle.
07:37It would be a loan.
07:40Look, if it means you get something positive out of a situation...
07:43But it's a lot, alright?
07:43And I don't expect you to be bailing me out.
07:45I trust you.
07:47And it'd just be to buy you some time and then you can pay me back.
07:51With interest, if you like.
07:52Mmm.
07:56I don't know.
07:58I want to help.
08:00Look, I can transfer the money to your dad's account if you just give me the bank details.
08:04Look, I don't even know that stuff.
08:06I wouldn't even know who to make a bank check out.
08:08Fine, I'll just get the cash out and you can go to the bank and do it in person.
08:13Come on, what's wrong?
08:21You're amazing.
08:23I honestly...
08:25can't believe that you would do this for me.
08:31I'm the most incredible girlfriend.
08:33Mmm.
08:34Remember.
08:34That's true.
08:35Mmm.
08:35Yeah.
08:37Look, I'll go do it now.
08:38It'll take me about an hour.
08:39I can give you a lift to school if you want.
08:41Yeah, alright.
08:42Well, I'm done here, so...
08:43We can meet back at my place for lunch time, yeah?
08:45Yeah.
08:49Talk about moody.
08:50It's like the blokes had a personality transplant.
08:53What, you got no idea why he's so edgy?
08:55I haven't got the foggiest.
08:56When I gave him the job, he was as keen as mustard.
08:59What he didn't know about fishing or scuba wasn't worth knowing.
09:02Come on, now two weeks later, he's as sullen as anyone.
09:06Sounds like things aren't going the way he wants them to.
09:08I'm starting to think there might be more to it than that.
09:11What do you mean?
09:11Well, I don't like to accuse people without proof,
09:14but I reckon there might be some stock missing off the shelves.
09:17Are you kidding? Like what?
09:18It's pretty hard to pinpoint, but...
09:21Well, there was a scuba tank gone AWOL.
09:23He reckons it's just in for hydro testing,
09:25then there's a couple of lumps of rope, fishhooks, you know.
09:28I haven't seen any of it go through the till.
09:30Well, if you reckon he's helping himself to your gear,
09:32then you've got to do something about it.
09:33Yeah, what if I'm wrong?
09:35Well, you know what I think about the guy.
09:36I wouldn't be taking any chances if I was you.
09:43Hey.
09:45Did you get it?
09:46It's in the bag.
09:48I seriously don't deserve you, you know that.
09:50Yeah, no, I know.
09:52Unless you've got 4,000 bowls of slack.
09:54Totally.
09:56Mmm.
09:59That is hot.
10:03But...
10:03not as hot as what I'm working with here.
10:13What about your lunch?
10:14Um...
10:15I think they can wait.
10:17Are you sure?
10:19I just, I don't want you to feel like you always have to follow through.
10:22I don't feel like that, okay?
10:25I want to, Belle.
10:29Mmm.
10:30Mmm.
10:31Mmm.
10:31Mmm.
10:38Oh, hey Mia.
10:40Can you just give me one sec?
10:41Take your time, I'm in no hurry.
10:43I'll let you know what happens with that other.
10:45Yeah, thanks.
10:47So you got my note then?
10:49Yeah, I did, but...
10:50You're not going to leave me dressed up with nowhere to go.
10:54Shyness isn't a problem for you, is it?
10:56Come on, it's only lunch.
10:57No strings attached.
10:59I just thought you could do with a break.
11:01That and, I wouldn't mind gazing into those eyes
11:03will you tell me again why you don't want to buy my frozen pasta?
11:08You're a very gifted saleswoman, you know that?
11:12Um, Colleen, I know I said I wasn't going to lunch, but I am now.
11:16But I won't be long.
11:18Oh, well, you'd better get moving then,
11:20because I'll finish at two, on the dot.
11:29I must be hearing things.
11:34Are you okay?
11:38Yeah, I...
11:40I just never thought it would be like this.
11:43I never...
11:45thought I'd be doing this with someone.
11:48I feel so close to you.
11:51Good.
11:56No, there's no pressure.
11:58This stuff is going to take time.
12:00Sophia, we just want to stop.
12:02And talk.
12:05You know?
12:06That's good.
12:13The money's gone.
12:30Where is it?
12:31Where's the money, mate?
12:32What?
12:32That was my whole life savings.
12:34Yeah, Belle's money. You took it while we were upstairs.
12:35What's going on and why are you accusing Elliot?
12:37There was $4,000 in Belle's bag.
12:39$4,000?
12:40Yeah, and I'm guessing you or Roman didn't take it.
12:42Which only leaves this jerk the run of the house.
12:44That's what happened, eh?
12:45You saw the money there, you thought you'd take it, huh?
12:47Mate, I didn't take anything.
12:48I've been here with Nicole the whole time.
12:50What's going on?
12:51They're accusing Elliot of taking Belle's money.
12:52Yeah, he's the only one who could have taken it, too.
12:55Let's just slow down here.
12:56Nicole, you need to get to school.
12:57I'll handle this.
12:58Mate, this is just ridiculous, alright?
12:59What makes you so sure Elliot took your money?
13:01Because nothing else was missing, Roman.
13:03Right, Belle and I are the only people that knew the money was there.
13:05Which means the person who took it was already in the house, wasn't he?
13:08Oh, stuff this.
13:09Hey, where do you think you're going, mate?
13:11I'm back to work, champ.
13:12No, Aidan, stop it!
13:14Taking the guy on is only going to cause trouble.
13:15Yeah, he's got Belle's money, Roman!
13:16You don't know that for sure.
13:17So let's sit down, we'll work it out properly.
13:19If you're still convinced, then we'll call the police.
13:21Yeah, it'll be too late, because he'll do something with you.
13:23Aidan, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, alright?
13:25Now we're going to go inside and we're going to work out how to handle this properly.
13:28Come on.
13:44What is this today?
13:45What are you doing going through my bag?
13:47I think you know the answer to that, mate.
13:49I suspected you were knocking stuff off, so I got Constable Buckton to come down and go through your gear.
13:53You haven't paid for any of this stuff.
13:55Have you got an explanation for any of this, Elliot?
13:57Yeah, I was borrowing the equipment, I wasn't going to keep it.
14:00You're kidding, aren't you?
14:01You were going to put this stuff back on the shelf used?
14:05I hope you've got a search warrant for this.
14:07Have you seen that sign right there?
14:12So how about we go down to the station and have a little chat?
14:15That won't be necessary.
14:16I'm not going to press charges, but you are fired.
14:19And if I was you, I wouldn't show my face around here for a while.
14:24No, look, all I'm saying is that Belle wouldn't accuse him without good reason.
14:27Well, why don't you have all of that money on her for anyone?
14:30Well, that's not the point, is it? It's Belle's money and someone's taken it.
14:32Yes, someone, not Elliot.
14:37Nicole, it wasn't Ruby's fault.
14:39Yeah, look, I know it's not.
14:40It's just, it's not fair that they keep on blaming Elliot when they haven't got any proof.
14:44Yeah, I guess.
14:45But Nicole, if you didn't take the money and your dad didn't take the money,
14:48then who else was in the house?
14:49Anyone could have walked in if the door was left open.
14:54Do you trust Elliot?
15:01If Elliot's been caught stealing from Mr. Stewart as well, isn't that proof enough?
15:05It's not that simple, mate.
15:06Especially since he has Nicole as an alibi and Colleen as an eyewitness to the fact they were sitting right
15:10here
15:11when you say the money went missing.
15:13I haven't got enough to go on for an arrest, but I'll note it all down in my report.
15:18Belle, you might be able to claim some of it back on Roman's Contents Insurance,
15:21so keep your bank receipts just in case.
15:23Thanks.
15:25Now, give me your word you're going to stay away from Elliot.
15:28Fine.
15:30I'm going.
15:31I've had enough drama for one day.
15:33All right.
15:33What's in the parcel?
15:35Oh, I thought I'd take home some of that frozen pasta and try it for myself.
15:40Make sure that that supplier has given us something worth dishing up to our customers.
15:49Hey, thanks for looking into all that.
15:51Poor Aidan's got the guilt, hasn't he?
15:53Yeah, how bad would you feel?
15:55Probably as bad as I felt seeing you arrive back from your date.
15:59There was a bit of a slap in the face.
16:02It wasn't a date.
16:03Trust me, when a woman dresses the way she dressed
16:05and she gives you a little kiss goodbye like that, she thinks it's a date.
16:09Okay, maybe for her it was a date, but for me it was a business meeting.
16:13So it has nothing to do with how weird you've been acting around me the last couple of days.
16:17What do you mean? We've hardly seen each other.
16:19Exactly.
16:20You've been avoiding me ever since I was at your place the other night.
16:23Charlie, I...
16:24You heard me, didn't you?
16:26You weren't sleeping when I stupidly was thinking out loud and said I was falling in love with you.
16:34Okay, I just...
16:36I'm not there yet, that's all.
16:38And if you knew me better you'd know that things just pour out of my mouth without me thinking first.
16:42That's just me.
16:43Oh, okay.
16:44So you regret saying it then?
16:46If it made you want to date that woman, yes.
16:49I don't even know I went to lunch with her.
16:51I'm not interested in her, believe me.
16:55Fine.
16:56I accept that and I know we're not exclusive or whatever, but I just didn't expect you to rub it
17:01in my face either.
17:02Well, that wasn't what I was trying to do.
17:04And anyway, the whole reason I wanted us to be casual is not because I want to see other women.
17:10But obviously that's a possibility, Roman.
17:17Can we make a new agreement?
17:19If you are crazy enough to want to go out with someone else, then just at least don't do it
17:24where I'm going to hear about it from Colleen.
17:27Okay.
17:28Fair enough.
17:30Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry.
17:32I'm not angry.
17:35I'm jealous.
17:38Okay.
17:39I promise it won't happen again.
17:42Okay.
17:43And I promise not to terrify you with any more of my inner monologues.
17:53Elliot.
17:55Are you crazy?
17:57I mean, why would you let yourself in here when you know that they want to nail you for Belle's
18:01money?
18:02Because I'm innocent.
18:04Okay, but it still doesn't look good.
18:08Besides, you should have told me that you were coming over.
18:10I mean, what if I had other plans?
18:12Look, Nick, I need to talk to you.
18:14I know that they've been poisoning your mind against me, but I swear I had nothing to do with that
18:19money going missing.
18:21Okay.
18:22What?
18:23Do you believe me?
18:25I don't, I don't know.
18:28Elliot, look, I need to talk to you about something too.
18:32I think we should stop seeing each other for a while.
18:36So, so you do think I stole it?
18:38No, I mean, I, I don't know.
18:41And that's the problem.
18:42I need to be with somebody that I know either way.
18:45Okay.
18:45So what's this really about?
18:47Is it about Jeff?
18:48What?
18:49No, it's...
18:50No, because I've seen the way he looks at you, Nicole.
18:52Look, is he trying to turn you against me?
18:54What's he been saying about me?
18:55This has nothing to do with Jeff. It's about you, Elliot.
18:59The last couple of days I've seen a side to you that has totally freaked me out.
19:04Even now you're being way too intense.
19:06And I can't handle it anymore.
19:08I...
19:09I don't want to be with you.
19:12Come on, Nicky.
19:12No, I mean...
19:13Yes, I do.
19:16Please.
19:18I just want you to go.
19:32You're making a big mistake.
19:50I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am to hear that.
19:54Glad I could make your day.
19:55It's so fun dumping a boyfriend.
19:56Oh, it's never easy.
20:02Al!
20:03G'day, mate.
20:04I just thought you might like an update on Elliot.
20:06Have they got something on him?
