00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want to stay forever
00:09Lots of each day
00:12Home and away
00:16If you are willing to give me another go, I promise I will try to fast-track the settlement.
00:21With your wife in the picture, I'm sorry, it's a straight-out no.
00:25Okay, boss, you got us here. What do you want us to do?
00:28All right, I have a list. Let's go.
00:33What a surprise.
00:35Someone said there's work to be done.
00:36You know how we've been looking for someone nice to get married?
00:38Yeah.
00:39We reckon this place is perfect.
00:40Oh my God, I'd love that.
00:42Yeah, I'd love you guys.
00:45You look upset.
00:46I don't know.
00:47Nothing to do with this then.
00:56Thank God, where did you find it?
00:58I found it in a pawn shop in Yabby Creek.
01:03How did he get there?
01:06I lost it this morning on the beach.
01:10I don't want to tell you, but the guy found it.
01:14He must have hogged it.
01:17Girl, I'm so relieved.
01:19I'll pay you back whatever it costs.
01:21No, I don't want your money, Belle.
01:23Aiden, don't be silly.
01:25It was my stupid fault for losing it.
01:28Just stop, okay?
01:29Aiden, it's fine.
01:30I have the money right here, okay?
01:31I said stop.
01:32What are you doing?
01:34I know you're worried.
01:34I'm going to find something else.
01:35Aiden, give it back!
01:40Like this, maybe.
01:42Aiden, there's a thing.
01:43Don't bother.
01:44Nicole already told me.
01:48Aiden!
01:52What are you looking for?
01:53The rest of your stache.
01:55Aiden, there is no stache.
01:56Whatever Cole's telling you, she's completely exaggerating.
01:58Except it all makes sense, Belle.
02:01Have one minute you're mad at it, the next minute you're half asleep.
02:03You've got no appetite.
02:04Okay, look, I've had some issues.
02:07It's not that bad.
02:13How dumb do you think I am?
02:16You see, I don't know what's worse.
02:18The fact that you sold my necklace to buy drugs.
02:21Or the fact that you're still lying to me about it.
02:23Imagine, Steve.
02:24Stop lying to me!
02:55I'll leave that.
02:56I'll do it in the morning.
02:57I'll never go to bed unless the kitchen's spotless.
02:59That was a rule back on the farm.
03:00Well, we're not on the farm.
03:02No.
03:02So I insist.
03:05I was thinking we should drop a rough livestock budget from the farm.
03:07And did you want to buy them from a sale yard or do you want to buy them directly?
03:10Can we discuss these tomorrow, please?
03:13Yeah, sorry, I just haven't been able to switch off.
03:16I don't know how you're still standing on your feet after the effort you put in today.
03:20And since we're going back tomorrow...
03:22I'll go home.
03:26Okay.
03:29Goodnight.
03:39Who is it?
03:40Belle, are you okay?
03:44Yeah, I'm fine.
03:46Are you crying?
03:49No.
03:50I've just got a headache.
03:54Belle, do you want me to get Irene for you?
03:56No.
03:59No, I'm okay.
04:09Hey.
04:10Hey.
04:10Where have you been?
04:11It's pretty late.
04:12I stayed back to help Martha clean up.
04:14How was it today to get much done?
04:17Yeah, there's still heaps to do, though.
04:19Actually, is there any chance you could stop by tomorrow and help us out?
04:22We kind of haven't been around much lately.
04:24Well, I've been helping Xavier with Brendan.
04:26I can't do everything.
04:27Yeah, I know, Annie.
04:28I know.
04:29It's just, you know, Martha's been really good at making us feel welcome.
04:31It would just be good if we could support her.
04:34Yeah, I'll come around tomorrow.
04:36All right.
04:37Well, I am tired, so I'm going to head to bed.
04:39I'll see you in the morning.
04:59Hey, Irene.
05:00Hey, darling.
05:01You're out and about early?
05:02Yeah, you know, just clearing out the cobwebs a bit.
05:05Ooh, I see a new romance, eh?
05:07Too much fun and not enough sleep.
05:10Actually, Lou and me aren't going out together anymore.
05:13We called it quits a couple of days ago.
05:15Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
05:17Still going to put me a foot in my mouth, eh?
05:19Oh, it's all right, love.
05:20It's not like we've been seeing each other all that long.
05:23Yeah, he certainly sounded like he was a good bloke.
05:26Yeah, he was.
05:27He is.
05:28That's the problem.
05:30Well, I won't push you for details on that.
05:33Suffice to say, I'm sorry to hear it, Irene.
05:35Thanks.
05:37I hear you and Rachel have found yourselves a nice wedding venue?
05:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:42Martha's been kind enough to lend us the farm.
05:45I hope she doesn't rue that decision.
05:47Oh, I'm sure it'll be lovely.
05:48And very romantic, too, if you listen to Annie.
05:52Yeah, well, that's the plan.
05:53Hadn't he had it there again today, actually?
05:55They'd do a bit more cleaning up.
05:56It's pretty hard work, but, you know,
05:58it's a nice break from the real world.
06:00Maybe you ought to come on.
06:02Why? I look that bad, do I?
06:04No, not at all.
06:05It's just that maybe you could do with a healthy distraction.
06:07And we could certainly do with the extra pair of hands.
06:10Why not?
06:11We'd smoke and around.
06:13Who does that?
06:14Irene said she was going for a walk.
06:15That doesn't automatically mean she's got a broken heart.
06:17She does.
06:18She's miserable without Lou.
06:19And he obviously really likes her, too,
06:21so I don't get why they can't just work things out.
06:23Because it's not that simple.
06:25It's not that hard, either.
06:26Look, Anna, just because you really like someone
06:28doesn't mean you should be together.
06:30That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard,
06:31and I don't think you believe it, either.
06:33You wouldn't still be upset about Nicole.
06:35I'm not.
06:37Right, so all this work on the farm is just for fun, is it?
06:39It's to help Martha, okay?
06:41Yeah, and it's keeping your mind off the cold.
06:43Hey, guys. Ready?
06:45Yeah, I'm coming to you.
06:46Oh, great.
06:47Uh, where's Belle?
06:49Uh, I don't think she's up yet.
06:50Oh, okay.
06:51Maybe she's not coming.
06:52I haven't heard from Aiden, either.
06:54Okay.
06:54All right, well, we'd better get going.
06:55The farm's not going to run itself.
07:17Hey, I've called Aiden.
07:18Leave a message.
07:22Uh, Aiden, it's me again.
07:29You probably hate me.
07:33I hate me.
07:39I promise you I would never sell your necklace.
07:43I just wouldn't do that.
07:48I just need you to call.
07:55Please, I need to know where we stand.
08:23What's going on?
08:27Are you blind or are you just trying to kill yourself?
08:30Sorry.
08:31What's going on, mate? You're all over the shop this morning.
08:34Yeah, look, it's no big deal, all right?
08:35Yeah, well, mate, get a grip or someone's going to get hurt.
08:38All right, no worries.
08:40Listen, how long till we get back today?
08:42About an hour.
08:53Yeah, Colleen, I'm just... I'm not up to it.
08:55Can you get Jackie to cover my shift?
09:00OK, thanks. Bye.
09:09He did it.
09:13I didn't think you were ever going to speak to me again.
09:17Did you get my messages?
09:19Yeah, on five of them.
09:23I'm so, so sorry you've...
09:28I just want to know one thing and tell me the truth.
09:35How did this happen?
09:36I know it's taken forever, but I'm rushed off my feet as it is.
09:40And now Belle has rung in sick for the lunch shift.
09:42Well, she is sick, that's true.
09:44She didn't even eat dinner last night.
09:45Yeah, well, that's all very well and good if I can organise a shift.
09:48But it doesn't help that Irene has decided to take the day off too.
09:52Irene, what for?
09:53Oh, well, apparently she's joined the free labour campaign on the farm with you lot.
09:57Oh, really?
09:58Definitely, I didn't even know she was coming.
09:59It's cool.
10:01Sorry, not for you, of course.
10:02Yeah, well, look, I'll just finish these sandwiches, then your hamper will be ready.
10:06Why don't you wait for me outside?
10:12Hi, Annie.
10:13Hello.
10:14Um, I was hoping to catch up with Irene.
10:16Is she working this morning?
10:17I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but, um,
10:20Breen doesn't really want to see you anymore.
10:23Yes, I know.
10:24Um, you see, the thing is, I really need to talk to her about something.
10:28So, um...
10:29Well, she's not here anyway.
10:31Oh.
10:32Right.
10:32Um, do you know where I might find her?
10:34I'm not sure Irene would like it if I told you.
10:38Uh, no, probably not.
10:40Um, Annie, I know you're just looking out for her, but, um...
10:44I care about Irene a lot, and if I could just talk to her today,
10:49then I think I could change her mind about not wanting to see me.
10:55The day Rachel told me she wasn't going to give me any more painkillers,
11:02I guess that's when things got bad.
11:08I mean, I knew the pain wasn't that awful, but I just needed them.
11:19Um...
11:20What?
11:22Oh, no.
11:26They made me feel numb.
11:31When you tucked out Larry's pills, I waited till you'd left,
11:37and then I dug them out of the bin.
11:43I know they were bad, but I didn't care, Aidan, that's the point.
11:53When they were gone, I was going to stop.
12:00I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't cope.
12:04So you got more pills.
12:06I got some sleeping pills.
12:11But I took...
12:14way too many.
12:19I was so tired,
12:22and I couldn't function.
12:30So I, um...
12:33I bought some uppers off Bray.
12:38You said that they were for a story.
12:41Yeah, no, I lied.
12:45Oh, God, you might as well know.
12:48I, uh...
12:50I didn't quit.
12:51I got fired.
12:54Paula found drugs in my drawer.
12:59You know, I'm really glad that you know now,
13:02because...
13:03now I can stop lying and covering it.
13:06You know, believe it or not,
13:07the hardest thing has been hiding this from you.
13:12I feel like the past few months,
13:15I've been...
13:18going out with some stranger.
13:21It's not like that.
13:25Aidan, I promise you,
13:26I'm not going to take them anymore.
13:28I will never touch them again.
13:31It's still me.
13:33I love you.
13:35I need to...
13:36No, Emily, Aidan.
13:48Maybe we could whack that marquee up in front of the house up there.
13:50The ground's pretty flat.
13:51You know, it's got his shade.
13:52Yeah, it'll be upwind of the septic too.
13:54That's got to be a good thing.
13:56Yeah, remind me why we're getting married and a farm again.
13:59Hey, mate, I like you a lot,
14:00but we're not getting married, OK?
14:03Be cool.
14:11Oi!
14:12This is the only wire I can find.
14:18No, we need the heavy-duty stuff.
14:20Won't it make do for now?
14:21No, it won't keep the stock in.
14:23Geoff, about the livestock...
14:24Look, Martha, I'll just go see what I can dig up, OK?
14:27Down, down, down in the field.
14:33Oh, careful.
14:34If Geoff catches you slacking off like that,
14:36he might get out of the stock with.
14:36Oh, really, I'd like to see him try.
14:40Irene, I saw Lou today.
14:42Where?
14:43At the diner when I was getting lunch.
14:45Well, he shouldn't have been there.
14:47I made it very clear to him he was to stay away from a workplace.
14:51Well, he seemed pretty desperate to see me.
14:53And more to the point, he shouldn't be talking to you about it.
14:56I'm sorry, love, it's not your fault.
14:59No, that's OK.
15:01Don't bite my head off, but...
15:03Irene, you haven't been yourself since you, Doctor.
15:06Yeah, well, it hasn't been easy.
15:09Even though I like him,
15:11I know I would be crazy to be involved
15:14with someone carrying so much baggage.
15:17Still, it's probably for the best.
15:19It's done, it's done.
15:21It's done.
15:21It's done.
15:49Oh, relax.
15:52It's not Jeff, it's just me.
15:54Well, at least you know with him in charge around here, the place is going to be operational pretty safe.
15:58That's if he doesn't kill us first.
16:00Where is he anyway?
16:01I don't know.
16:02He's out there somewhere making sure there's enough troughs for all the cattle.
16:06I thought you were sticking with veggies, Martha.
16:07I am.
16:08Look out, here he comes.
16:10Will you at least let me look at it and write new stitches?
16:12Now, Annie, will you just stop fussing, all right?
16:15Oh, what happened?
16:16He cut his hand on barbed wire.
16:18Well, maybe if you'd grab me those gloves, I could ask you to.
16:20Maybe if you'd bother to say, please.
16:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
16:22It's enough.
16:23Show me.
16:25Oh, love, it's not too bad.
16:26Just wash it and make sure your tetanus shots are up to date.
16:29How about a politeness shot while you're in?
16:31Okay, I think we've all had enough for the day.
16:33Why don't we just call it a day?
16:35I'll drink to that.
16:36Yeah, well, I've still got to check those water shots.
16:37Jeff, trust me, we're done.
16:42Isn't that Luda Bono?
16:43Well, what would he be doing out here?
16:46Hmm.
16:48I wonder.
16:55Now, before you say anything, it wasn't Annie's fault.
16:58No, it's not.
16:59But if you're not going to return my calls, what's Amanda do?
17:02Hmm, take the hint.
17:04Well, yes, I could, but I didn't get to where I am today by rolling over when things got tough.
17:10Now, I would like to offer you a lift back to town because there's something I'd like to show you.
17:16Please, Annie.
17:19What it is may just change your mind.
17:36If you're here to break up with me, now's not a very good time.
17:39Colleen's going to kill me if I'm late for this shift.
17:41I'm not here to break up with you.
17:45Really?
17:47That's if you're serious about getting off the pills.
17:52I am.
17:53Of course I am.
17:56But you are...
17:59You're going to have to do it without me.
18:02I don't understand.
18:03Belle, I've gone through the withdrawals with Dad and I just don't think I can go through it again with
18:08you.
18:09But I want you to talk to somebody else, maybe Rachel.
18:12I just think you need to get some professional help.
18:16But you're saying that if I get through this on my own, you're going to be there?
18:23Yeah, if you can get through all this stuff, then...
18:27Yeah, I'll be there.
18:31I can do this.
18:32I know I can.
18:34Like you did last time.
18:36This is different.
18:38The thought of losing you is all the motivation that I need.
18:43I love you so much and I'm not going to let you down.
18:54Now, about the cattle.
18:55Oh, yeah, that's right.
18:56I called an old mate of Pops.
18:57He said he's got 30 head of cattle that he wants to offload.
18:59So it's a pretty good deal.
19:00This is what I want to talk to you about.
19:02Jeff, sit down.
19:04There's not going to be any cattle, any sheep or any sort of livestock.
19:09But it's a farm.
19:11My farm.
19:13Yeah, I kind of got that.
19:15You weren't that interested.
19:16I don't know, it's just that Pops always had livestock on the farm, so it's kind of hard
19:19to imagine the farm without it.
19:21Yeah, I understand that.
19:22I know you have a lot of history on the farm.
19:26But if you think about it, you're left to pursue other things.
19:30School, footy, the ministry.
19:33And just because some of those things haven't worked out,
19:36it doesn't mean you should try and turn back the clock.
19:40Well, I'm trying to move on.
19:43Jeff, this is a fresh start for me.
19:45And while I really want you to be part of it, it has to be on my terms.
19:50This has to be my vision, not yours.
19:55Do you understand that?
19:59Yeah.
20:00Yeah, I do.
20:02Sorry.
20:04Let's call this a fresh start for both of us.
20:08So, does that mean I have to cancel the 30-header cattle I just ordered?
20:14Oh, sorry.
20:16Whoa.
20:17When you said you had a boat, I didn't think it was a flippin' great cruise ship.
20:21Not quite, but, yeah, she is very comfortable.
20:24Shall we?
20:27She's also, um, fully equipped with everything that two people could possibly need or want on an extended trip at
20:35sea.
20:37Two people.
20:38Hmm.
20:42Come away with me, Irene.
20:47Next time, I'm home and away.
20:49I want to be happy now with you.
20:51Start behaving like someone who hasn't done anything wrong.
20:54Stop spreading rumours about Miss Filson.
20:56You stay away from Nicole.
20:56Rob, bust your face.
20:57I'll be real this time.
20:58Do you want to get back with him or what?
20:59It's just the way he was today.
21:00It's the way I wish he'd be when we were going out.
21:02You're not going out with him.
21:03Why would that be a bad thing?
21:04Because Roman's my mate.
21:05He's got nothing to do with you.
21:07Who else is going to look after him in the end, Jeff?
21:09There's no question.
21:09You have to go.
21:11I'm not seriously going to do this alone without telling anybody.
21:13Nicole, you are no expert, so just back off.
