00:00Previously on Home and Away
00:01The one we found had quite high levels of arsenic.
00:04Annie, where did you say you found the firm?
00:07Arsenic's carcinogenic.
00:09It causes cancer.
00:14Colleen lives near there.
00:15She would have used that path as a shortcut a hundred times over the years.
00:18Yeah, but half the town used that path.
00:21What if whatever is at the development site is making people sick?
00:30Why has Martin bought that money on her account?
00:37Well, you shouldn't be looking in my account.
00:39Please tell me you're not getting money for not reporting him for harassment.
00:42Mars, of course not. I wouldn't do that.
00:44Martin's paid you more than once and the last amount went into your account yesterday.
00:47And you haven't worked at the school for more than a month.
00:50Okay, Van Favre's all done.
00:52Mel's still doing number two.
00:54But you know what she's like? She's such a perfectionist.
00:56Good man.
00:58I don't think this is the right time to have this conversation, okay?
01:00Well, if you're not ashamed of it, it shouldn't matter who overhears it.
01:03Well, it's not very appropriate because you're accusing me of blackmail.
01:07Joy, can you go and shake an Ollie, please?
01:09Yeah, sure.
01:14Hey guys, is Grandad here?
01:16I'm just trying to tee up a lift to the hospital tomorrow.
01:18Ah, no, he's not home.
01:20Actually, sorry.
01:22Do you mind if I sit down for a second?
01:24I just wanted to get some fresh air, but Walt's really taken it out of me.
01:28Yeah, of course.
01:29Just relax.
01:29Make yourself at home.
01:30I was just going to give Ollie a bath.
01:34Sorry, did I interrupt something?
01:35No, no, it's fine.
01:36I'm going to make you a cup of tea, okay?
01:46If the test is secured, it means there could be arsenic in the soil, which can cause camps.
01:50It could be affecting everyone who uses that land.
01:52Heaps of people walk through there.
01:54Okay, it's a shortcut from the caravan park to the shops, the street to the beach.
01:59Yeah, I know.
02:00Come in here.
02:02I used that path myself.
02:04I just think if there was a significant health risk like you're suggesting, that we would
02:08know about it by now.
02:09Rach, think about it.
02:10Colleen, Martha and Kane, they've all had cancer.
02:12And they've all had close contact with that land.
02:14Yeah, look.
02:15At some time or another, they have all lived near that land.
02:18Now, if the chemicals have leaked as far as the path, who knows how far they've gone.
02:22There's so many houses back onto it as well.
02:24All there.
02:24Joe's house is on that block.
02:27Well, then that makes four people we know.
02:31Okay, this could just be a horrible coincidence.
02:33No, Rach, think about it.
02:34Murray did soil samples as well and he had high levels.
02:38This isn't a once off.
02:39Murray's theory was proven wrong at the council meeting.
02:41You said so yourself.
02:42You said he made a mistake.
02:43Okay, what if he was wrong?
02:44Guys, I would love to have something to blame for Joe's death and Martha's breast cancer.
02:49It's much easier than thinking that it's just random and uncontrollable.
02:54But I find it much harder to believe that there is a cancer cluster in Summer Bay.
02:58Okay, but why can't we find out for sure?
03:02I mean, we could look up the patients that have all had cancer, see if there's any connection between where
03:06they live.
03:06Guys, you know that I can't do that.
03:07That's a complete breach of privacy.
03:09If you're so convinced about this, then why don't you go to the police?
03:12I'm sorry.
03:14Let me get this straight.
03:17Martin Bartlett's given you a whole heap of money on more than one occasion to help with Cain's appeal.
03:23Why would you even go to him for the money in the first grade?
03:26I didn't go to him.
03:26He just offered.
03:28What?
03:28Just like that?
03:29Oh, come offered.
03:30So what?
03:31He sacks you and then what?
03:33Feels sorry for you and gives you the line?
03:35It doesn't make sense.
03:36Maybe he felt guilty about the job or whatever.
03:38I don't know.
03:39Anyway, I told him about the situation with Cain and how impossible it was to get the money together
03:42and he offered to help me.
03:45Well, stranger things have happened, I guess.
03:48So what am I going to tell Miles?
03:49You know, I hate to have to say this, Dahl, but I warned you that this would all blow up
03:55in your face.
03:56I don't know.
03:56Maybe I could just tell him it's for Ollie.
03:58What do you think?
03:59Well, maybe you could tell him the truth.
04:01What?
04:01I can't, Irene.
04:03Do you know what I reckon?
04:04I reckon you and Cain spent too many years on the run, lying as a way of life.
04:09He's going to be devastated if he finds out the truth.
04:11Alright?
04:12He's trusted me completely and if he finds out that I've been in touch with Cain behind his back, he'll
04:15just feel completely betrayed.
04:17And you really think that more lies are going to help the situation?
04:20Well, I don't know, Irene, but I can't hurt him.
04:23Kirstie, love, you really are going to have to try and start being honest again.
04:28I'm telling you, you're going to ruin your life and you're going to ruin Ollie's.
04:34I know you're disappointed, but Rachel's right.
04:38I mean, how would you like some stranger going through your medical records?
04:41No, I wouldn't care.
04:42What I'm trying to do is so much more important than a few people's privacy.
04:47Look, I know this sucks, but there's nothing we can do about it.
04:51I wanted more than a theory, I wanted actual proof to take to Angelo.
04:57I should probably get going.
04:59Hey, no.
05:01You can hang here for a bit longer if you want.
05:05Maybe we could just, you know, watch your DVD or something if you like.
05:09Um, look, you have HSC study to do and I should really see Angelo, so...
05:15Right.
05:16Past my years by date, have I?
05:18You know it's not like that.
05:21What's it like, then?
05:24Thanks for helping me today.
05:26I'll see you later.
05:33Five people is concerning, but it's not enough to mean anything.
05:37Belle's going to find out if there are more, though, right?
05:40Yeah, you know how passionate she's been about this development business.
05:43Honestly, I think it's just a tragic coincidence.
05:46What, are you sure about that?
05:48What about Finney?
05:49He was young and fit when he got his cancer and he grew up in that street.
05:53Leah, I didn't even think of him.
05:54Yeah, but he's not the only one. I could think of others.
05:56Um, Don Fisher's little boy, Byron, he died of a rare form of cancer.
06:00Really?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Look, I'm not saying that Belle's right, but that's a lot of people.
06:05Maybe too many for it to be just a coincidence.
06:07Oh, I don't know.
06:09I still think it's pretty far-fetched.
06:11There's so many people who have been living there and using that land for years.
06:15Look at Alf, why not him?
06:18Alf had a brain tumour about five years ago.
06:21God, I didn't know that.
06:22Do you really think that something like this could happen here?
06:25It can happen wherever people are exposed to high levels of carcinogens.
06:29Don't you think we should warn everyone, just in case?
06:31Don't say anything to anyone just yet.
06:33I don't want Tony or Jack and Martha to find out about this.
06:36They do not have the energy to waste on something that's not been proven, okay?
06:40So leave it with me.
06:48Where have you been?
06:49Where are the kids?
06:51Jo's upstairs giving Holly a bath.
06:52Why'd you sneak out like that?
06:55Because I was trying to get out of telling you the truth before about what's been going on.
07:00Okay, I'm listening.
07:01Miles, I borrowed that money for Cain.
07:03What?
07:04He wrote me a letter.
07:06He asked me to get some money together for him because he's going to appeal his case
07:09and I couldn't say no, right?
07:11You've been in contact with Cain for weeks and you never told me.
07:14I didn't make the first contact, he did, I promise.
07:17And we haven't been talking directly, it's just been through letters.
07:19Look, the fact that you've been contacting Cain is whatever.
07:22What I can't get over is the fact that you've lied to me about this.
07:25Well, honestly, I didn't want to.
07:26Just give me a break, alright?
07:28You've been crying poor and letting me, and Bartlett by the sounds of it,
07:32financially support you all the while you're giving Cain that money behind my back.
07:36Well, I was just worried that you wouldn't approve and I was really worried that...
07:39What?
07:40That if you actually told me I might be wondering whether you two might get together when he gets out
07:44of jail?
07:44No, no, look, the chances of that even happening are so remote, that's not going to be an issue.
07:48Right, so you're just hedging your bets.
07:50No, no, no, that's not what I'm doing, Miles.
07:52Wait, look, you're going to help Cain in case he gets out, or keep Miles in the dark in case
07:55he doesn't.
07:56Look, I'm sorry if that's how it looked to you, but...
07:58How it looks to me?
07:59Look, I honestly didn't think you would see it like that.
08:02I'm still his wife.
08:04And I just felt like I owed it to Ollie even to do everything that I could.
08:07You owed it to Ollie?
08:08Yes, of course!
08:09Come on, how could I look my son in the eye if I just leave his father to rot in
08:12jail?
08:13When there's a chance, no matter how small it is, that I could help him get out.
08:17Are you still in love with him?
08:35Years.
08:36Years I spent, literally years, avoiding getting to know people since Lou and Amber died.
08:42And the minute I let my guard down, the two women I choose to get close to, I cannot trust.
08:48Two?
08:50Jazz.
08:51You can forget Jazz.
08:53Just goes to show I'm a pretty bad judge of character.
08:57Miles, you can't be responsible for how other people treat you.
09:01You have the loveliest heart, and that's why you don't see the bad in others.
09:06Kirstie's just a bit messed up.
09:08See, there you go again.
09:10Always trying to see the good in people.
09:12And that leaves you open to manipulation.
09:17Thanks for listening.
09:18No, that's okay.
09:20Well, thank you, I'm glad you came to me.
09:26Yeah.
09:27I am too.
09:30You take care, okay?
09:38Hey, I was worried about you.
09:40You were gone for ages.
09:42Sorry man, I was talking to Leah.
09:44Where's everyone?
09:46Mr. Stewart's still at the surf club.
09:48Melody's upstairs reading and Kirstie's gone to bed in Ollie's room.
09:53Well, I might go and hit the sack too, I think.
09:57Miles.
10:00What's going on?
10:02Nothing mate, don't worry about them.
10:04How can I not worry when you and Kirstie are fighting?
10:06We'll set it out.
10:08You just think about your homework.
10:10Don't you stay up till you're late.
10:12Just take care for a while.
10:12No.
10:23No.
10:41You know what, I'm going to take Ollie to Mrs. Martz for you.
10:44No, it's all right, I'll do it.
10:45No, no, really, it's fine.
10:46Come on, Superman, grab your bag.
10:47Can I have a kiss, Ollie?
10:48Please.
10:51Bye-bye.
10:52Bye.
10:53Have a good day.
10:56Bye.
10:56Bye.
10:56See you, kids.
11:04I might just slip up and check the weather report.
11:15Right, so what do you want to do about this?
11:20I haven't decided.
11:23Well, the whole household's pretty tense, I just don't think it's very fair on them.
11:26Yes, Kirsty, I realise that, but I still don't know how I feel about you and Cain.
11:30There is no me and Cain.
11:31You know what I mean.
11:33How can I trust you when...
11:38Is it Cain?
11:39No, it's not Cain.
11:41No, it's not Cain.
11:41Cain's in jail.
11:41How would he have a phone?
11:45It's work.
11:47I've...
11:47I'll put a go.
11:55You on your own?
11:57Apparently.
11:59Mate, I...
12:00I won't pretend I didn't notice.
12:02Um, is this just a bit of a tiff or is it something more serious?
12:07She's been lying to me, Alf.
12:09She's been in contact with Cain and she's funding his appeal behind my back.
12:14You're fine, I'm kidding.
12:23Why have you been ignoring my calls and texts?
12:25Because I made it perfectly clear that I'm not doing the hostessing work anymore.
12:29Well, if that's the case, then you won't be getting any more housekeeping shifts.
12:32What?
12:33You can't do that.
12:34Watch me.
12:35Trish, I need those shifts.
12:36I need the money.
12:37I know you do, but if you want to keep them, then you have to keep hostessing for me.
12:41Simple as that.
12:44I've got a client lined up for you tonight.
12:46Tonight?
12:47No, Trish, I can't do it.
12:49You better, or else your employment at the Sands is over.
12:53Now, if I don't hear from you by this afternoon, I'll know what your answer is.
13:06Hey.
13:06Hey.
13:09I was just wondering if you had any luck getting those medical records.
13:14Uh, yeah, Angela's gonna try and get them.
13:16Good on Angela.
13:18Yeah, except it has to happen quickly.
13:19The further I get with the building, the less chance we have of stopping them.
13:22Yeah, and if the soil's contaminated, then digging's only gonna make it worse.
13:26Well, we just have to hope you can fast track it or something.
13:30Hey, look, you know, I'm here too if you need some help.
13:35I don't want you getting involved anymore.
13:39What, you're the one who came to my house after talking to you?
13:41Yeah, I know, but that was a mistake.
13:42I'm sorry.
13:43Right, so you think Angela's the only one that can help you, is that it?
13:45No, come on, that's not...
13:50Hey, you know how I got that call about you being in an accident?
13:54Yeah.
13:54Yeah, well, I got another one saying that if I didn't stop crying, we'd both get hurt for real.
13:59What?
14:00Yeah, that is why I backed off the whole thing.
14:02I don't...
14:03I don't want you getting hurt because of me.
14:08So you're just protecting me then?
14:13Just be careful, okay?
14:16I don't want a real one.
14:18Okay.
14:23Is that why you're really here?
14:26To ask me about medical records.
14:29Sure.
14:31Oh, God, that's Angela.
14:32Go, go, go, go.
14:33Sure, I'll find out.
14:34I'll let you know.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Sorry, that was funny.
14:37Hey.
14:38Hey.
14:39So good to see you.
14:40Especially after that shift.
14:41Yeah.
14:50These kids were out of control.
14:52The uniform usually stops them, but not this time.
14:53Where were their parents?
14:55Oh, who knows?
14:56I've just been drunk idiots.
14:58Look, I didn't come here to complain about my shift.
15:00I came to tell you that I put in a formal request to Fitzy
15:02to subpoena those medical records.
15:03Oh, that's awesome.
15:05What did she say?
15:06Oh, she wasn't impressed, actually.
15:08But once she reads the reports, she might be convinced.
15:10Yeah, well, she will.
15:11She has to be.
15:12You do realise, though, even if she does give it the okay,
15:15it could be a while before anything happens.
15:17Yeah.
15:18But it's awesome that you did it.
15:20I really appreciate it.
15:21Oh, yeah?
15:22How much?
15:24I was wondering if I could sleep here this morning.
15:26Oh, um, I've got an appointment this morning
15:29and I've actually got to go soon.
15:30All right.
15:32Um, how about lunch then?
15:33Uh, look, I'll call you, but I've really got to get ready,
15:37so have a good sleep.
15:39All right.
15:39Come on.
15:58Oh, Annie, what are you doing back here?
16:00No, I can't talk.
16:00I forgot my English assignment,
16:01and Angelo said he'd give me a lift to school if I'm quick.
16:03No, Annie, look, um, if Angelo asks,
16:05tell him you want to see Rachel with me yesterday.
16:08Why?
16:08Uh, it's complicated.
16:09Um, you don't have to bring it up.
16:11Just cover it if he asks.
16:12Belle, who'd you really go with?
16:14Aidan, but it's complicated.
16:16Look, don't you have to be quick?
16:18I don't feel comfortable lying to Angelo,
16:20so let's just hope he doesn't ask.
16:31Hey, working harnessy.
16:34Hey, um, you, you're in for a blood test, are you?
16:37Again, yeah.
16:39Grandad's just out parking the car.
16:40Are you okay?
16:41Yeah, I'm just concentrating on some, um, some research.
16:45How are you?
16:47Okay, I'll be much happier once these blood tests are over and done with.
16:50No-one enjoys being a pincushion.
16:52Mmm.
16:53I know it's tough.
16:55Yeah, well, I'm not the only one that's suffering.
16:57I'll see you later.
16:58See ya.
17:07Don't get me wrong, I understand that Cain's her husband
17:09and she wants to help him.
17:11It's just the way that she's gone about it.
17:14Yeah, well, the thing is, Miles, I don't think you really do understand it.
17:18Not, not the history of things.
17:20This is a girl who hasn't been able to tell the truth about Cain since she was a school kid.
17:26She had to lie to her parents about him because of what he did to her sister.
17:30She lied to the cops about him when they took off together.
17:33And for three years on the run, they've been lying to get by.
17:37It still doesn't excuse her.
17:39No, love, it doesn't.
17:41But the thing is, Cain has got this hold over Kirsty that isn't easily broken.
17:48Love, she's only doing what she's always done.
17:51That's something that you shouldn't be taking personally.
18:02Belle, I can't talk right now, I'm really busy.
18:04Look, I just thought you should know that Angela has officially requested the medical records,
18:07but I don't think it can wait that long.
18:09What do you expect me to do?
18:10Well, you're a doctor, aren't you? Don't you have access to the files?
18:15What, what, do you know something?
18:22Okay, I had a quick look myself this morning.
18:25And yes, there are some pretty disturbing figures.
18:29I would say, in the last two years, probably 30% of local cancer patients
18:33have been from the streets surrounding that land.
18:35My God!
18:36You can't repeat that to anyone, do you understand me?
18:38But I've got to get that information, it's what I need to make the authorities actually take notice.
18:41Well, I cannot confirm those details.
18:42You need written consent form from the patients or their family
18:45in order to use medical records.
18:46Rachel, how can I get those forms signed if I don't know who they are?
18:49I'm sorry, I should not have even mentioned this much.
18:51Just, just, just get Angela to keep pushing.
18:53No, it might never happen.
18:54I have to get back to work, I'm sorry.
18:55Rachel, what if there is another little kid out there like Joe?
18:58What if this time we could, we could save his life?
19:00Please don't make me feel bad by using Joe, okay?
19:03I'm doing the right thing here.
19:05Well, legally maybe, but that doesn't make it right.
19:17Surely the health department has the power to investigate.
19:21No, I don't have any proof, that is my point.
19:24If someone looks into my claims they will get proof.
19:27Fine, thank you, I will do that.
19:33Rachel.
19:34I won't stay.
19:36I wanted to give you this.
19:42What a list of names.
19:43That's right.
19:44It's all I can do.
19:46This doesn't tell me anything.
19:48What are these cancer patients?
19:49It's just a list of names, Belle.
19:51It's up to you what you read into it.
19:54Okay, I understand.
19:56Good luck.
20:11Martin.
20:14Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out about you giving money to Kirsty?
20:18Beg your pardon?
20:19You see me every day.
20:20It doesn't make you feel good having little secrets over me.
20:24I refuse to have this conversation here, but this won't take long.
20:26Martin, I know everything.
20:28So don't you ever make secret little deals with Kirsty but hold my back again to understand what I'm saying?
20:33I didn't want her to come to any harm.
20:35Becoming an escort could lead to anything.
20:38What?
20:40Nothing.
20:41Slip of the tongue on my mistake.
20:43Don't worry about it.
20:45Martin, you tell me what you mean.
20:47You tell me.
20:49I didn't know.
20:50I found out by accident.
20:51You let go of me.
20:57Next time on Home and Away.
20:59You've been sharing my bed.
21:00And you've been with other men for money?
21:02Or is this just another one of your lies?
21:04I think it's best that you move out of here as soon as you can.
21:06You didn't give up on me when I needed you.
21:08So why are you giving up on Kirsty?
21:10I let you walk away once, Bill.
21:12I'm not letting that happen again.
21:13You and I are meant to be together.
21:15You okay?
21:16I can hardly tell him now that poor guy's in hospital.
21:19So we're just going to keep lying to him?
21:21Try to be understanding.
21:22I might even be able to cheer you up.
21:24It's not like the extra money wouldn't go astray either.
