00:01Tony and I were wondering if you'd like to come to our wedding.
00:04I'd love to.
00:05Yeah, well, Miles actually asked me last night to go as his date,
00:08so I've been invited to your wedding twice now.
00:10Right, thank you.
00:16Oh, an ambulance, honey!
00:24It's about your grandfather.
00:25What about him?
00:27Or what he did to you?
00:31He did it to me too.
00:40Hayden, I know this is hard for you to hear, I do.
00:43I don't believe you.
00:45You're making it up.
00:46I wouldn't lie to you about something like this.
00:48Well, if it's true, then why are you only telling me about it now?
00:52I don't know, I just didn't know how to.
00:56I was so ashamed.
01:03So, you were happy to let me deal with it alone?
01:09God, you even defended him, how could you do that?
01:11It's the only way that I could deal with it.
01:14You didn't just suspect what was going on.
01:18You knew, didn't you?
01:20Well, I hope to God that it wasn't happening.
01:24Once I suspected, I did everything.
01:27Yeah, well, it was too late by then.
01:29Because he did it to you, and you let him...
01:35Oh, my God.
01:39Why?
01:41Why?
01:45Because I was scared.
01:47I was scared.
01:48I was scared.
01:54He screwed with my head too, you know?
02:01But at least now you know, you can understand the drinking and all the secrecy.
02:11Aidan.
02:13Please.
02:14I need your help.
02:16I...
02:19I don't understand.
02:23I don't understand any of you.
02:29I don't understand.
02:29Johnny Fernandez, 15 years old.
02:30He fell from the pier.
02:32He didn't fall, he was pushed.
02:33He's got a two centimetre laceration above his right temple.
02:36He must have been his head on the way down.
02:38He was underwater for approximately two to three minutes
02:40and was revived at the scene by that man.
02:42Right, let's get him onto the bed.
02:43One, two, three.
02:45Is he gonna be okay?
02:46We'll let you know as soon as we've assessed him, okay?
02:48Are you all right?
02:49Yeah, I'm just underwater.
02:50Okay, if you need anything, just see one of the nurses, okay?
03:00It's okay, they're gonna look after him now, Annie.
03:07I know it's a lot to take in.
03:09And I know how upset you must be.
03:13And how angry with me you are.
03:14And you know what?
03:15You have every right to be.
03:16But if you knew how the guilt has been eating me up...
03:21Is that supposed to make me feel better?
03:24Well, not a day's gone by when I haven't...
03:27Wished that I'd done things differently that I haven't asked myself...
03:30Why I didn't have the guts to stand up to him.
03:36But then I just tell myself there's no point in dwelling on the past.
03:40It's done.
03:40You can't change it.
03:42You have to look forward.
03:45It's just you and me now, son.
03:50Lucky me.
03:53We can't let what's happened to us get the better of us.
03:57Now that everything's out in the open, maybe we can start afresh.
04:00You know?
04:00We can use the money to...
04:02You mean Belle's money.
04:06You're still hurting, are you?
04:07I just can't hack this anymore.
04:09The pain's just killing me.
04:13Look, I know this is a big heart, but...
04:15Maybe you can help me out.
04:17Get me something for the pain.
04:20Please.
04:28How is he?
04:29He's fully awake now and responding, which is good.
04:32But he has a mild concussion and some crackles in his chest.
04:35He must have inhaled a fair bit of water.
04:37So he's gonna be okay?
04:38Yeah.
04:39All going well.
04:39He should be fine.
04:40Can we see him?
04:41Yeah, sure.
04:41Just keep it brief.
04:45Hey, how are you feeling?
04:47He should be feeling like the luckiest guy in the world.
04:51Dr Young said if you hadn't have pulled him out when you did, he wouldn't be here.
04:54Jai, I'm just glad you're okay, mate.
04:57Can I come in?
04:58Yes, it's fine.
04:59Jai, I'm going to take your bloods to the lab and then I'll be back to do your x-rays.
05:05So, how's the patient going?
05:06Not bad considering he nearly drowned.
05:09Good for you.
05:10You're as tough as nails, mate.
05:14I think maybe we should just give him a bit of rest.
05:16Yeah, come on, love.
05:17I want to stay.
05:18No.
05:19I just want to be left alone.
05:33Hey.
05:34Hey.
05:35I was beginning to think you'd forgotten me.
05:37How have you been?
05:38Oh, just at the day spa getting a facial and my nails done.
05:41Really?
05:41No, not really, Tony.
05:43As if I have time for pampering.
05:45I thought you and Leah had the wedding I've organised.
05:47Yeah, we do.
05:48You can't just show up on the day and just hope everything's going to go well.
05:51You know, there's follow-up calls and emails.
05:54Emails?
05:55Yeah, Tony, for work.
05:56I have so many loose ends that I need to tie up before I can even think about this honeymoon.
06:01It's not like you're going away for six months.
06:03I mean, work will cope if you forget something.
06:05What about my patients, Tony?
06:06I can't just leave them in the lurch.
06:08It's going to be okay, Rach.
06:10Why don't you just go home and have a bath and get ready for your hen's night?
06:14Because I don't have time.
06:16I don't even want to go.
06:18I just feel like I need a break.
06:19Well, okay, look.
06:20Just tell me what Ned's doing and I'll do it.
06:22Give me a list.
06:23Just forget it.
06:24I've got to keep going anyway.
06:25Rach, don't...
06:26Don't be like that.
06:28Alright, you go.
06:29You have a really good time at the Bucks' Night and...
06:32And I'll deal with the rest.
06:36Well, I guess I'll see you at the wedding then, eh?
06:45So, Annie was up on the school roof.
06:47What was she doing there in the first place?
06:50It was because of me.
06:52Because she wanted to protect me.
06:55Protecting you from what?
06:56From myself.
06:58She wanted to show me how stupid and selfish I was being.
07:03She wanted me to know how it felt to be in her shoes.
07:08Okay, Jai.
07:08Obviously, I'm missing something.
07:13Mate.
07:16Please, can you just tell me what is going on?
07:22When Axel died, I...
07:24I couldn't understand why I survived and he didn't.
07:32I felt things I hadn't felt since Phuket.
07:37Since I lost my family.
07:42It's like everyone in my life that I've cared about has died.
07:50I could never understand why I was the one always left behind.
07:58But after Axel died, I...
08:00I started to think.
08:04Maybe I survived because...
08:06Because I was special.
08:09Invincible.
08:11I just want to know if...
08:12If I'm not special or...
08:14Or invincible.
08:17Then why am I still here?
08:19That's why I wasn't scared when I was up on the roof.
08:24I even tested my theory by...
08:26By jumping off Jump Rock.
08:31I kept being proved right.
08:35Like when I touched the power box the other night.
08:40I really believed nothing could hurt me.
08:44It was easier than thinking about...
08:48About the people I've lost.
08:55But that all changed today.
09:00I nearly died down there.
09:03In the water.
09:06The only reason I'm still alive is because of you.
09:11I just want to know if...
09:13If I'm not special or...
09:14Or invincible.
09:16Then why am I still here?
09:36I wasn't sure if you'd come back.
09:38I thought about it.
09:41That's yours, purely medicinal of course.
09:43I thought you'd get some painkillers or something, but...
09:47This'll...
09:49This'll do just fine, thanks mate.
10:00I don't know what I'd do without you, you know?
10:08You're a good son, ain't it?
10:10You always knew how to look after me.
10:16Well, it's been tough on you, I know that.
10:18But you've always come through.
10:20That's how I realised it.
10:21Once you heard the truth...
10:23You'd come through for me again.
10:59Good.
11:00That's much better.
11:01Now the x-rays show there's still a little bit of fluid in there, so we're going to keep you
11:04overnight just to make sure your lungs are absolutely clear.
11:08Well fine, later. Have a look at you.
11:09Thanks, Doug.
11:10So, do you want me to get you something to drink?
11:14Mate, I don't know...
11:16What I can say to help you.
11:18I mean, look how old I am, I've got no idea.
11:20I still can't figure it out.
11:24I just don't know why some people live and why some people don't.
11:28I guess it's something that only the universe can know.
11:33Do you remember when you told me when I first arrived in Summer Bay that people need people?
11:40Yeah, sort of.
11:43I didn't believe it.
11:45I didn't want to believe it.
11:49But after what happened today, I realised that...
11:54that you were right.
11:56I can't believe that you actually listen to what I say.
12:00Sometimes.
12:04Thanks for being there for me.
12:06Always.
12:10And Jai, you're going to start feeling some things...
12:15that you haven't felt for a while.
12:17Things that you've been blocking out.
12:20So, I think it might be a good idea to talk to someone about it.
12:23You know, a counsellor or someone.
12:26That might not be a bad idea.
12:32Is this a good time?
12:35Gee, you're looking human again, dar.
12:38You're looking pretty crook before.
12:40I'm getting there.
12:42You just had a good chat.
12:44Yeah, funny that.
12:45So did we.
12:47Fancy getting a cuppa?
12:48I would love to.
12:50Annie, can you take care of Jai for a bit?
13:03I'm sorry.
13:12What if this is just a sign of things to come?
13:14It's not.
13:15Well, what if it is?
13:16We're supposed to be getting married and I'm nagging him the day before the wedding.
13:20Well, you know what it's like.
13:21Everyone fights before their wedding.
13:22It's completely normal.
13:24Then why get married in the first place if all it does is turn you into a grumpy old cow?
13:28Will you stop?
13:29Once you put on your gorgeous wedding dress, all your troubles will just melt away.
13:34Trust me.
13:34Hello, girls.
13:36We'll order a bottle of bubbly and be right over.
13:39So how's that going?
13:41What?
13:41You and Kirstie.
13:42You still okay with her coming to the wedding?
13:44I'm fine.
13:45It's all good.
13:46So can we please stop talking about it and get on with celebrating your last night as
13:49a free woman?
13:50Cheers.
13:51Cheers.
13:52Cheers.
13:54I swear I'm going to make this up to you, okay?
13:57Once we set ourselves up and start over, I'm going to be the father I should have been
14:01years ago.
14:02Yeah, and who's going to make it up to Axel?
14:04You know, if I could take that back, I would.
14:07I haven't had a decent night's sleep since it happened.
14:10I feel so sorry for you too.
14:13Do you think I like being on the run, do you?
14:17Hiding out from the cops, my gut getting worse every day.
14:21Eating that kid ruined everything for me.
14:25And don't you think it ruined everything for Axel?
14:28And his family?
14:30Not a minute goes by where I don't regret what happened, but I have to put that behind
14:34me now and keep going.
14:36Yeah, because you're good at that.
14:37Putting everything behind you.
14:40Pretending it didn't happen.
14:43Like me.
14:45Axel.
14:47His house.
14:51You know, I'm sick of this.
14:52I'm telling you in.
14:53Hey, hey, hey.
14:54Hang on.
14:54I won't last a week in jail.
14:56You're not too bad.
14:58Aidan, please.
14:59Aidan.
15:00Aidan, I'm your father.
15:02You can't just dob me in.
15:04Mate, please.
15:07We're the same, you and me.
15:09You would have done things exactly the same if you'd been me.
15:21We are not the same.
15:25I would never have let my kid go through what I went through.
15:32You had a choice to make things different, but you didn't.
15:36Because you were too pathetic and weak.
15:39You're right, I did.
15:41I did have a choice.
15:43And I am sorry.
15:45I am so sorry.
15:52So what are you gonna do?
15:57You gonna turn me in or not?
16:03No.
16:07That would be too easy.
16:17So, Jack, this is your idea of me having a Bucks party I'll never forget, eh?
16:21Hey, you're the one who said you want to stay clear of bars, nightclubs, and anything that might get you
16:24a hangover, remember?
16:25Yeah, but I thought you might come up with something a little more interesting than watching the footy on the
16:29box with you two blokes.
16:30You ask me, this is a top way to spend your last night as a bachelor.
16:34And you didn't get chained to a roundabout naked.
16:36That's a valid point.
16:38To Dad and Rachel, may they share a lifetime of love and happiness.
16:41And may they beat the odds and have a day tomorrow that goes off without a hitch.
16:46I'll second that, boys.
16:47Cheers.
16:49Ah, okay.
16:50Thanks for letting me know.
16:52Hey.
16:54Hey.
16:56Thought you were going to the hens night.
16:57I was at the hens night.
16:59But I heard that you weren't at Tony's, so...
17:01Did I come home and keep you company?
17:04Who was that?
17:05It was Martin.
17:06Having a meeting first thing in the morning.
17:08With Matthew Lyons and his mates.
17:10And the parents.
17:12One hell of a punishment has come in their way.
17:14Good.
17:15God, it's the least that they deserve.
17:19Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't come along?
17:23Oh, Miles, are you okay?
17:25Yeah, I just had a big day.
17:27Yeah.
17:28But Irene said that Jai's okay, yeah?
17:32He's good.
17:33He's better than that.
17:34He's great.
17:36For the first time today, we actually connected.
17:41And I got a glimpse of what's been going on in that head of his.
17:47Which makes the idea of losing him even harder.
17:50Miles, you didn't lose him.
17:52He's fine.
17:54He's fine.
17:56We were just so lucky that you were there for him.
17:59Really.
18:02We all are.
18:05Lucky.
18:17What was Tony and Dr Armstrong's first fight about?
18:21Oh, that's a bit bleak, isn't it?
18:24Can't we have something a bit more positive?
18:25When you organise the quiz, you can make up the questions.
18:29Besides, it's all part of the ups and downs of married life.
18:32There's no point pretending it's not.
18:35Look, Rachel and Tony don't even fight.
18:37You're a match made in heaven, aren't you, Dara?
18:41You know what, I think I might call it a night.
18:43I'm really sorry.
18:44I'm just, I'm so tired.
18:46Yeah, but it's still early and there are 17 questions to go.
18:50Well, you don't want to be responsible for Rachel turning up to a wedding with bags under your eyes, do
18:54you?
18:55I suppose not.
18:57Um, Colleen, I appreciate all the work that you've done.
19:00It's been really great.
19:02Yeah, I reckon, do you?
19:03I'll see you all soon.
19:05Oh, tomorrow, you mean? You'll see us all tomorrow.
19:08Yes, yes, of course.
19:10Of course I mean tomorrow.
19:11I'll give you a lift.
19:13Oh, no, it's fine, you stay.
19:14No, it's fine, I had one drink.
19:15No, I think I might just be by myself for a while, but you guys stay and have a good
19:19time.
19:22Right, question four.
19:28I can't handle this anymore, I need help.
19:31I need a doctor, Aidan.
19:34Sorry.
19:36What are you talking about, son?
19:38Just get me to the hospital, please, Aidan.
19:44Just relax, Dad.
19:45Just relax, Dad.
19:49Aidan.
19:51If I stay here, I'll die.
19:56Yeah.
19:58Yeah.
19:59I know.
20:01I know.
20:11I'll be fine.
20:18I'm going to die for a while, though.
20:29I'm not going to die.
20:30I might just go to the hospital.
20:30I'm not going to die.
20:30I'm not going to die.
20:50I've been waiting.
20:52I've got a present for you.
20:59Let's get married.
21:03I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy.
21:09Cole!
21:09You took away the person who meant the most to me in the world,
21:12and now I have the person who means the most to you.
21:16I meant to be getting married in less than two hours,
21:19and she couldn't have just disappeared.
21:21Where's Nicole?
21:22The one-hour Olympic cliffhanger.
21:26You'll be left breathless.
21:29Mother!
21:30Somebody get some help!
21:32Home and Away, tomorrow at 7.
21:34Home and Away, tomorrow at 7.
21:35Home and Away, tomorrow at 7.
21:36Home and Away wear 45 white benches.
21:36Home and Away.
