00:00Seriously on Home and Away, Jai and Annie want me to be stuck where I was.
00:05I think Jai and Annie just want you to be yourself.
00:07I don't even know who that is anymore.
00:09Whatever happened between Belle and I has got nothing to do with you.
00:11Like hell it doesn't. Belle works here and I live with Aiden.
00:14And if you're looking to get your head taken off, just hang around until either he or Irene show up.
00:18In fact, you can get out of my place right now.
00:20I'm just trying to make you see that despite what you think you actually are needed.
00:24Really? By who? By me!
00:25But obviously that doesn't mean anything to you, so go on then, go and get trashed.
00:30Because that will prove how truly pathetic and tragic you are.
00:59Took care of it.
01:01Now you're supposed to take care of your end of the bargain.
01:04Yeah, yeah, relax mate.
01:05As soon as we get good news, a phone call will be made, you'll be off the hook.
01:10How are you going to prove it wasn't me that had sold at Belle?
01:12You know, a fake alibi won't wash.
01:14Look, you coming along was a bonus for us, alright?
01:17It was meant to look like a botched robbery, we can go back to that scenario.
01:20As soon as we get proof you did what we asked.
01:22You know, your sick little games have jeopardised my job.
01:25And they respect my colleagues, and I want them both back.
01:28Remember, if you don't pull through, I've got nothing to lose.
01:31I will spill my gut so fast your head will spin.
01:47Where were you?
01:49Ruby.
01:50I mean, after nearly drowning, you just took off.
01:53I didn't know what to do or who to call.
02:00Coffee, I just need a coffee.
02:02That's it, that's all you have to say for yourself.
02:04Until I have a coffee, yes.
02:06But you could have called.
02:07Well, I would have except I didn't plan on staying out all night.
02:10By the time I realised I was, it was too late, Ruby.
02:13What did you do?
02:14Did you pick up some random stranger and go home again?
02:21No, I did not pick up a stranger.
02:23Well, where were you then?
02:25Look, where I was is none of your business.
02:27I'm taking a shower, just go to school.
02:32Hey, what time's that presentation assembly thing tonight?
02:34Seven.
02:35I just haven't finished it.
02:36My mind's just gone blank.
02:38Well, if you can't think of anything to say,
02:40you can always say how cool and pretty I am.
02:42That should keep the medge tank.
02:44Oh, come on, lighten up. You'll be fine.
02:46I've been working on it all night, Nick.
02:47And it just still sounds...
02:50I don't know.
02:51Well, do you want to read me what you've got?
02:53Maybe I can help.
02:53Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.
02:55Our giant Annie getting along after the ordeal.
02:57They're still at home, recovering. They're good.
02:59They're very fortunate.
03:01Perhaps I should remind the students of the dangerous storm drains tonight.
03:04Oh, that's a good idea.
03:06Ah, Martin, have you thought about
03:07you're going to give that citizenship award to?
03:09No, I haven't.
03:10Until the ink's dry in the paper, I'm up to suggestion.
03:13All right, bye-bye.
03:14Bye.
03:17All right, take a seat.
03:19Where is everyone?
03:22Here you are.
03:23Right.
03:25I've got your essays back.
03:28Now, generally, I'm quite impressed.
03:30Here you go.
03:32Good job.
03:34Melody.
03:36Very good luck. I enjoyed it immensely.
03:37Thank you very much.
03:38Cheers.
03:40Matthew, where's yours?
03:42I haven't finished, sir.
03:44All right, well, I went out of my way to give him an extension
03:46because of your suspension, okay?
03:48You're way out of time.
03:50I'll give you to the end of the day.
03:52Or it's a fail.
03:53Understood?
03:59Rehab is just making everything hurt again.
04:01Come on, have a rest for a minute.
04:03All right?
04:10I just feel useless.
04:12I feel like I'm in limbo until this court case is over.
04:15Hey, don't focus on that, all right?
04:16That's going to sort itself out.
04:18You just need to focus on getting better, all right?
04:21Hey, guys.
04:22Is everything okay?
04:23Um, yeah.
04:24She's just a bit sore.
04:26She had a pretty tough session with the physio.
04:28Are you in pain, Belle?
04:30Yeah.
04:31All over.
04:34Look, I'll go and get the doctor to come and see you.
04:36Maybe she can give you some stronger pain relief.
04:38You just wait here, okay?
04:44Don't let Angelo ruin your life, Belle.
04:47Because if you do, that means he's won.
04:50I don't want to feel like this.
04:52I don't.
04:54I just need to know it's behind me before I can move on.
04:58Here she is.
04:59Good afternoon.
05:00I'm not that late.
05:02Did a bit of post-rescue imparting, did we?
05:05We're a professional of someone who's an aspiring chief.
05:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
05:10What have we got?
05:11Well, I'm still chasing up on the toxic waste case,
05:14just checking on company records.
05:16And this is for you.
05:18It's Angelo's file.
05:19Yeah, Fitzy wanted you to get an official statement from Leah and Colleen.
05:22She wants to use the fact that he was heard threatening Belle in court.
05:34You haven't got a problem with that, do you?
05:36No, why would I?
05:47Hey, Charlie, it's Angelo.
05:49He had a pretty big night last night.
05:51Picked up some loser who left without saying goodbye.
05:55Anyway, don't worry about that jerk.
05:56Just call me if you want.
05:57Goodbye.
06:00Oh, g'day, love.
06:01It's good to see you up and about again.
06:02Irene told me you're on the mend.
06:04Yeah, slightly.
06:05Well, I suppose it's better than being cooped up at home, eh?
06:09Mate, can we get a couple of juices?
06:11Here.
06:11Here, sure, cheers.
06:17What's that about?
06:19What's with acting like we don't even exist?
06:23You know what, who cares?
06:24He's gone, that's good enough.
06:25Yeah, when we get outside he's probably gonna yell at us again.
06:28He won't want to try that sort of cape while I'm around, love.
06:31Yeah, you're right, he won't want to do anything like that.
06:35Why can't they just lock him up?
06:38I'll be back in a sec.
06:46What? This is crazy.
06:47What is it?
06:49The results from the soil samples we took last week, they've come back negative.
06:52No heavy metals, no carcinogenic chemicals, no toxins of any kind.
06:57If this is right, the whole case is dead in the water.
07:01Look, where are you going?
07:02I'm gonna give these guys a call, make sure there hasn't been a mix up.
07:07When are you guys gonna do your job and get Angela off the streets?
07:11Would you like to try that again?
07:13You're stalling, right?
07:14Trying to find some way to get him off the hook?
07:16Look, I'd suggest you stop making allegations that you can't back up.
07:19Well then at least do something to keep him away from Belle.
07:21Look, if he approaches her or tries to threaten her,
07:23he'll be breaking the conditions of his bail and he'll be arrested.
07:26What more do you want us to do, Aidan?
07:28How about nail him? Get the guy out of our faces!
07:31He'll be dealt with like anybody else, according to the law.
07:34Right, and if he somehow conveniently gets let off,
07:37we'll know who to thank, right Charlie?
07:40Yeah.
08:07Aidan. Aidan. Aidan. Aidan.
08:10Love, look, all I am saying to you is that you're not doing Belle any favours
08:16by storming into the cop shop and accusing him of protecting Angelo.
08:20What about Belle's rights? Somebody's gotta look out for her.
08:22I ain't preaching to the converted here, Darl, please.
08:25You have got to settle down.
08:27For the crockery sake, if for nothing else.
08:36I didn't come for any trouble, I just want a strong black coffee, please.
08:51Johnny. Johnny. Hey.
08:55Look, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here right now.
08:58Yeah, I know, I just saw you come up from the beach. I wanted to see if you were okay
09:01from last night.
09:02Oh, my head feels like it's been used for soccer practice.
09:04How many shots did we do?
09:06I don't know.
09:07Anyway, the worst thing is, Fitzy's given me your case file to finish.
09:10Can't you just handball it off to someone else?
09:12Well, that would mean publicising what happened last night and I'm way too hungover to deal with it.
09:21Jack.
09:24Yep, on my way.
09:27Jack's just got a major tip-off, so I gotta go.
09:32I'm not changing your mark. You did well to get a B. Now go.
09:37You wanted to see me?
09:38Martin, thank you.
09:39I was just wondering whether you've thought any more about the citizenship award.
09:42I've got a candidate in mind.
09:44Have you considered Melody James?
09:47A couple of months ago, definitely.
09:49But things seem to have gone a little off track for her since then.
09:51See, that's why I think she'd be a very good candidate.
09:54Go on.
09:55Well, she's had a tough year.
09:57She's still doing very well at her schoolwork and she's great in the school council.
10:01That's true.
10:02She's being ostracised by her friends and I think by giving her the citizenship award,
10:06it will show her that she's being appreciated.
10:08I'll consider it.
10:10Martin, also, just so that there's no misunderstanding,
10:14Kirsty's going to be moving back into the house with me.
10:17I'm very glad to hear it.
10:20So, Nicole says you're nervous about your speech.
10:22Should be.
10:23Ever heard a room full of people snoring?
10:25Yeah, yeah.
10:26Aw, come on.
10:27Leave him alone.
10:28You can't help it, darling.
10:29Hey.
10:31Look, you said it yourself.
10:32They'll think you're an angel.
10:33No one's going to suspect you of cheating.
10:35Yeah, but Mr Copeland will not believe that you wrote an essay any day.
10:38My parents will make me repeat if I fail.
10:40Come on, Mel.
10:41You can do this stuff in your sleep.
10:42I don't know.
10:43Look, just add a few spelling mistakes.
10:45It won't be sus.
10:46It'll be cool, I swear.
10:48All right, I'll do it.
10:50You're awesome.
10:57I don't get it.
10:58Why would she hang out with that guy?
11:00Probably because she ditched all her other friends.
11:04Hey, darling.
11:06How are you feeling?
11:07Um, yeah.
11:09I took a painkiller a bit better.
11:11I saw Angelo at the surf club.
11:14Yeah.
11:14Hayden told me.
11:16Love, it's awful that you had to bump into him your first day out of the house.
11:19But really, I wouldn't read too much into it.
11:22Yeah, he won't come here.
11:24Hey.
11:25Hey.
11:25Is it alright if I take my break?
11:26Ah, yeah, love.
11:27Just be quick about it, eh?
11:28Hey.
11:31Look.
11:33Angelo was in here earlier.
11:34But he came to talk to Charlie.
11:38He didn't come in and order.
11:39And he didn't stick around.
11:40So I don't think he'll be coming back any time soon, okay?
11:45You can have a search warrant.
11:46You can't bust me for that stuff.
11:48Just sit down and shut up.
11:49If you didn't want us to search your car, Nubby, then you shouldn't have let us.
11:52We're not interested in the stolen goods.
11:54We want to know who did the job on Bell Taylor.
11:57Who?
11:58Never heard of her.
12:00Try again, mate.
12:02Oh, they're pretty.
12:04Yours?
12:04We found them in your glove box.
12:06They belong to Bell Taylor.
12:08The locket's engraved with her name and birth date.
12:11What have you to say for yourself now?
12:15Where were you last Monday afternoon?
12:18Wouldn't have a clue.
12:20What?
12:20No alibi?
12:22Come on, Nobby.
12:24How'd these come into your possession?
12:27You must recognise this.
12:31Nope.
12:32Well, you should.
12:33Because we also found it in your glove box.
12:35Looks like you'll be doing jail time for that, Nobby.
12:38What do you want from me?
12:41You want to bust me for the stolen goods?
12:43Bust me.
12:44I want a lawyer.
12:45You listen to me, mate.
12:47A cop's been charged with that assault on the girl you kicked in the face.
12:50Now everybody knows it was you.
12:52So we're going to sit here until you tell us what we need to know.
12:57What's in it for me?
12:59You tell us what we want to know and maybe we'll cut a deal.
13:02But this is a once only offer.
13:04So you better start talking real fast.
13:12Yeah, it's definitely mine.
13:15I didn't even notice it was missing.
13:17Thanks.
13:18Well, we just need you to sign a few forms for us then.
13:21I don't get it.
13:23Are you saying...
13:24The guy happened to be robbing Belle at the exact time Angelo was fighting with Belle.
13:28We still need to investigate the circumstances but he has confessed to a break and enter at that time and
13:33to assaulting Belle.
13:35It doesn't make any sense. I mean, where was he? I didn't hear anything.
13:40Hey.
13:41Is that you?
13:43Where do you get off going to my work complaining about harassment?
13:48What is it, Belle? Do you remember something?
13:51Yeah, a noise. I heard something in my bedroom before Angelo came in.
13:55Well, that fits with what he told us.
13:58In his statement the perpetrator said he came in through your bedroom window and pocketed the jewellery.
14:03And before he could get anything else he heard a male voice and went to check and saw you guys
14:08arguing and recognised Angelo as a police officer.
14:12Then when you ran into your room he was worried that you'd see him and scream for help so he
14:17hit you in the back of the head.
14:19And then when you were still conscious and trying to call for help he just kept going.
14:24Don't shut me up.
14:25I'm sorry Belle, I know this must be really hard for you still.
14:29But at least now we can clear Angelo's name.
14:32We'll be dropping the charges.
14:34What if it wasn't a robbery?
14:36Belle, this guy had a rap sheet a mile long.
14:38No, what if he was sent to shut me up by the developers?
14:44Is there something you guys aren't telling us?
14:47Belle, there is something else.
14:50We're not going to be pursuing the investigation into the development anymore.
14:54What? Why not?
14:55Soil samples came back negative.
14:57There's no crime.
14:58No, that's wrong.
15:00These were police samples.
15:02They were taken by us and sent to our labs.
15:04Sorry, there's no mistake.
15:06But what about all those people we're meant to be helping?
15:09Belle, believe me, if there was anything to this cancer cluster theory, I would have gone after them.
15:14For Martha's sake.
15:18Yeah, it's done, but don't expect an A for it.
15:21If I get an A for it, then they'd know I cheated.
15:23Just don't tell anyone, ever.
15:25No, I won't.
15:26Hey, look, are you big time?
15:28It actually ended up being kind of fun.
15:31That's seriously weird.
15:33Thanks.
15:39I'd stay away from that guy if I was you.
15:41What, you mean, as opposed to my former friends, the ones who deserted me the first chance they got?
15:45Come on, Mel, that's not true. You're the one who pushed us away, remember?
15:48Ah, Miss Jones. You're coming to the presentation tonight, I hope?
15:51I am indeed, sir.
15:58Here it is.
16:00But this is your essay?
16:02Yep. It's after during lunch. It's all done.
16:04Well, I hope the wait was worth it, Matthew.
16:07We're suspicious of Nobby's story, but there's no question he did the assault.
16:11But you don't think it was a robbery?
16:13Well, it's just too convenient. And besides, who tipped us off?
16:17Well, could he be linked to the developers?
16:19You know, is there any chance he was sent there specifically to assault Bell?
16:22Well, I doubt we're going to get anything else out of him.
16:24And with the negative soil samples, what's to investigate?
16:27So anyway, mate, I hope that you accept our apologies.
16:29Everybody at the station knows about the situation.
16:32I had feelings, huh?
16:33Well, given the circumstances, I probably would have come to the same conclusion.
16:36But you all owe me a drink, alright?
16:45You must feel pretty relieved, especially after last night.
16:48You know, to know for sure that I'm not that guy.
16:51Yeah, well, I wasn't really thinking about that at the time.
16:53Yeah, it was a pretty big night.
16:54And I think we both know it was a mistake, so I think it's best if we just move on
16:58and don't talk about it again, okay?
17:00Oh, yeah, I agree.
17:06Ah, good day, mate. I heard your good news. The town's buzzing with it.
17:10Must feel good to be off the hook, eh?
17:12Yeah. Any chance you can open the bar a little bit early for me?
17:14I'm afraid not, mate. You're gonna celebrate your win, eh?
17:17Yeah, something like that.
17:18Well, it won't be long. Help yourself to an orange.
17:27Satisfied?
17:29Yeah.
17:31So why don't you get lost?
17:34You're one of those glass half-empty guys, aren't you, mate?
17:37They never know when they got it good.
17:44Everything I put into this, it's all come to nothing.
17:47Oh, my God, Belle. You disturbed a thief in the house.
17:50You're damn lucky you didn't have a knife on him.
17:53Yeah, but Angelo's off the hook. The developer's gonna keep building.
17:56There's no more investigation. It's all been for nothing.
17:59You know what? There's just too many unanswered questions for me.
18:02Like, who made those threatening phone calls, and why did Tim fire me?
18:05Yeah, who took the documents from my car?
18:06You've already been told that. It was Murray.
18:09Now, guys, it's finished, alright? It's over.
18:12It's time for Belle to get back to normal.
18:16You may as well knock off, darling. Roman will be here soon.
18:18Yeah, alright.
18:20Hey, I'm gonna get ready for the presentation night.
18:24Do you want to come, Belle, or am I gonna pick you up afterwards?
18:28And I'm sorry, I can't face people tonight.
18:36Because integrity is what makes us better people.
18:38And I plan to show integrity in my leadership.
18:40And I hope that, in turn, as a student body, we can trust each other
18:43to do our best by each other and by the school.
18:51Well done, Belle. I'm real proud of you.
18:53Yeah, so impressed.
18:54Yeah, that would have actually been good if it didn't take an hour.
18:57No, well done.
18:58Thanks.
18:59Oh, come on. Can you be nice just for today?
19:05Hey, where's Belle?
19:07Um, she couldn't make it.
19:08Thank you, Geoff.
19:10Thank you, Geoff.
19:10A wise speech from our new school captain.
19:13And now we come to the last of our presentations.
19:16The Award for Citizenship for 2008, which is presented to the student
19:20who most represents those qualities which Geoff was just talking about.
19:24service to the community, hard work, and, of course, integrity.
19:30And the Citizenship Award for 2008 goes to Melody Jones.
19:53Oh, that dinner was fantastic. Thank you so much.
19:56Oh, you deserve it. You better get ready for bed, Mel. We'll clear this up.
19:59No, all I have done is eaten. Please, let me do the questions.
20:03I mean, it's because of her. It's okay.
20:04It's what being a celebrity is about, babe. You get weighted on hand and foot.
20:07I could get used to this.
20:08Well, we're very proud of you. Congratulations.
20:11Sweet dreams.
20:12Goodnight, Mel.
20:12Goodnight.
20:17Okay, we need a cloth.
20:19It's all over Mel's bag.
20:21Oh.
20:26Wow.
20:28What?
20:30I think it's a copy of Matthew Lyons' assignment.
20:34What?
20:36Yeah, see?
20:37This is Matthew's assignment.
20:38Mm-hmm.
20:39And this is the same copy of that assignment, but in Melody's handwriting.
20:42Look, she's putting little spelling mistakes here.
20:44It looks like our Citizen of the Year wrote Matthew Lyons' essay for him.
20:51Next time on Home and Away.
20:53Don't you twist this back around on me.
20:55Matthew forced me.
20:57He threatened to chug me out of the house.
20:58It's about naughty.
