00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want to stay forever
00:08But through each day
00:12You're coming away
00:17Hey, I'm not going anywhere, Bill, okay?
00:20I'm gonna stay with you.
00:22You've got to tell them what happened again.
00:24You've got to tell them!
00:27At 8.30 on the night of the accident, I was with Trey.
00:34Right, Kirstie, I think it's best if you come with us down to the station.
00:47She's gone back to sleep. She didn't eat much.
00:50I should have stuck with the soup.
00:52I've never seen someone so sick over a virus. It's been days.
00:56You know what happens.
00:59Look, you've been great looking after, Annie.
01:01I honestly don't mind.
01:03Yeah, I know.
01:04Belle feels bad, though.
01:05I mean, you don't get to see your friends, you're on holidays.
01:07It's not her fault she's sick. She would do the same for us.
01:10Ah, sorry to call around unannounced.
01:12Hey, mate, how's Roman today?
01:14Maybe we could have been waiting there for some sort of change, but...
01:17Well, I guess where there's life there's hope, eh?
01:20Mm-hmm.
01:21I was hoping to have a word to Belle. Is she up to it?
01:23Oh, she's asleep.
01:24Yeah, she's still pretty crook.
01:25Is there a message I can give her, or...?
01:27Oh, it's just that Colleen's got her knickers in and not over the diner.
01:30You know, with Roman and Leah both out of action,
01:32she's practically running the joint single-handed.
01:34She'll be loving that, too.
01:35Well, for once, I think Colleen might have a point.
01:38You know, she does need help.
01:39Belle's not going to be ready for work for a while, mate.
01:40Well, if that's the case, maybe we should give some serious thought
01:44to ringing Irene and getting her back, cos something's got to give.
01:47Alright, look, well, I start work at 4am tomorrow,
01:48so I can have a word to Belle when I get back, if that's alright.
01:51Good on you, mate. I appreciate it. See you, love.
01:53Hi.
01:55So, when's Irene due to call?
01:57Tonight.
01:57Tonight.
01:58I really don't think it's fair that she has to come back from my trip.
02:00She really deserves it.
02:02But, Annie, I don't think she'd be wanting your business to go down the drain, do you?
02:04Guess not.
02:05Is that Alice's voice I heard?
02:07Hey, back to bed. You, come on.
02:09Mm-mm.
02:09What were you guys talking about?
02:12Colleen needs help at the diner, and Mr. Stewart wants to call Irene back.
02:15No way, I don't want that to happen.
02:16No, it's OK. We're not sorting it out now.
02:17We're going to talk about it tomorrow, OK?
02:19Come on, back to bed. Let's go.
02:30Trey's been cleared of any involvement in the accident.
02:33Because you were with him?
02:36Yeah.
02:40Are you having an affair with Trey?
02:43What?
02:47No.
02:48Of course not. Why would you even think that?
02:51Well, what other reason would you be over there at that time of night,
02:54and lying about it?
02:56Do you remember how we were talking about Trey being cornered by his own lies?
03:01Well, it got me thinking.
03:03I just thought that if I went over there with an out for him,
03:06maybe, just, maybe he would take it.
03:10So you went to see him?
03:15You're not supposed to be here.
03:17I know.
03:19But we need to sort this out, Trey.
03:21We both know nothing happened between us, so why are you doing this?
03:27I didn't mean it to get out of hand.
03:28I was just having some fun with my mates.
03:31You were right.
03:32I was trying to impress them.
03:34At the expense of my reputation and my job?
03:37I'm not proud of it.
03:38But it's done now, and it's gone too far.
03:41No, no, no. Trey, it hasn't.
03:43There's something you can do.
03:44You can stop it before it gets worse.
03:46Look, I get that you don't want everyone across town to know you were lying.
03:49That's humiliating, and I understand that.
03:51So I don't care.
03:52Your mates can think whatever they want.
03:54I just need you to clean my name with the Department of Education.
03:57Please, that's all.
03:58I'll call back.
04:00I typed you a letter.
04:04I just need you to sign it.
04:07Please?
04:10If you do this for me, I promise this will stay between your dad and me and Mr Bartlett.
04:19So he signed the letter.
04:21Then you came home.
04:23And you told me that you found it shoved under the door.
04:26I should have just told you the truth.
04:29Yeah, you should have.
04:30But I knew that you wouldn't approve.
04:32Well, no, I wouldn't.
04:34You mentioned the risk you took by going over there, Kirsty.
04:37Well, he signed the letter, so it worked.
04:40Kirsty, Trey's dad is going to find out for sure later.
04:46And so is Bartlett.
04:48I mean, this whole thing could just blow up in your face.
04:57If you'd ordered ordinary coffees instead of a skinny this and a decaf that,
05:01I wouldn't have got it mixed up.
05:03Oh.
05:07Here, Diana, can I help you?
05:09Oh, Belle, what is it?
05:11I haven't got time to chat now.
05:14Hey, thanks for meeting me.
05:16I need to explain something to you about the letter.
05:20Since I agreed to meet with you this morning, I've received several calls which have caused me concern.
05:24Okay, and that's why I need to tell you my side of it.
05:27Are you aware that the boy's arm is in a sling, that he's taking painkillers?
05:30He's in quite a state, apparently.
05:32Well, he attacked me.
05:33You went round to his house and forced him to sign a letter which you had written yourself,
05:38then went round passing it off as Trey's work.
05:40Of course, his father's furious.
05:43You can't be serious.
05:44Trey finally tells the truth and now his father thinks it's a lie?
05:47Frankly, given your recent actions, including your initial lies to the police,
05:51I can't blame him for believing Trey over you.
05:55I've got a duty of care to my students.
05:57I'll be having a long discussion with Trey when he's up to it.
06:00I'll get back to you later.
06:02Right.
06:04So what do you think is going to happen to me now?
06:06Well, you can safely say that since you chose to ignore a very clear directive to stay away from Trey,
06:11you'll be stood down from your job regardless of the outcome of the department's investigation.
06:15Breakfast with the words, coffee's coming.
06:19I didn't want this.
06:27Why are you dressed?
06:29Oh, Colleen can't manage on her own. She'll have a meltdown.
06:33Bell, you can't go to work.
06:34You're not up to it.
06:35I can't let Colleen down.
06:36Bell, you're going to make yourself worse.
06:39I would seriously never forgive myself if Irene had to come back early from a trip
06:42because I couldn't get my act together.
06:46Okay, I really don't think you should go, but if you are, I'm coming too.
06:49You can show the shift.
06:50Annie.
06:51I know I'm hopeless at orders. I won't do that.
06:54But I can run around getting dirty dishes and packing up the washer.
06:56It will make it easier for you.
06:57Annie, you're on your holiday and all you've done so far is look after me.
07:00You have a picnic with John Ruby, remember?
07:03I can cancel. They'll totally understand.
07:05Hey, what are you doing up?
07:07I'm fine.
07:08She's not. She's going to work. She wouldn't listen to me.
07:10Bell, that's crazy. You're not strong enough.
07:12I'm just getting used to being back on my feet.
07:15Annie, go get dressed.
07:20You know, I was going to say, I think it's a good idea if Irene comes back.
07:24Oh, Aidan, there's no point. The worst is over.
07:27You're joking, huh?
07:29I have to go.
07:30Bell, hey, the minute you think that you've got this beat, you're gone, you know that?
07:34Just back off, alright?
07:37Because if you keep doubting me all the time, then we are going to have a real problem.
07:50Don't get me wrong, Bell. I appreciate you getting out of your sick bed to help.
07:54And Annie's been marvellous, but this is only one shift.
07:57It's not as though we're going to have Irene, Roman and Leah back on deck tomorrow.
08:01We won't need to if I can do some double shifts until he gets back.
08:03With Annie as your side kickers, extra pair of hands or two can only go so far.
08:08Well, we'll have to make do with the casual.
08:10Oh, that's easy for you to say. You're still a spring chicken.
08:13Well, Colleen, I will think of something.
08:15Now, go ahead and take those out to table eight, okay?
08:23Uh, Annie, I'm going to take these to table eight.
08:25Mia, are you sure? Yeah, yeah, get out of there.
08:28What are you doing back here? I thought you were out there serving the customers.
08:32Um, I'm going to stay in the kitchen for a while, can you serve?
08:35Oh, for heaven's sake, why do I have to do all the running around?
08:45Hey, Bell. I've got something for you. Call me.
08:58You haven't had a chance to talk to Bell about that diner business, have you?
09:01No, I know. She dragged herself to work today to make Colleen happy.
09:04Oh, it's truth. I didn't mean her to go in when she's crook.
09:07I know. But she's not too keen to get Irene to come back, so...
09:10No, none of them are. I know if it was me, I'd want to know.
09:14Yeah, well, don't worry, I haven't given up.
09:16I'm going to speak to Bell, you know, because she can't take it on either.
09:20What can I get you, mate?
09:21Uh, yeah, whatever he's having, that looks like for me.
09:24Uh-huh. Yeah, it's good.
09:25Are you all right, mate?
09:27Yeah, in a second.
09:27I'm going right now.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Back and sit.
09:47Hello.
09:50I knew you'd call.
09:53This is Al?
09:54Hmm?
09:55Who is that guy?
09:58Russell?
09:59No, he's a flyman troublemaker.
10:01If you're thinking about becoming friends with him, I'd forget it.
10:09Okay, how does this sound?
10:10I apologise for any pain or trauma the accident may have caused
10:14and wish you a speedy recovery.
10:16Should you apologise?
10:17Does this sound like I'm taking the full blame?
10:19Yeah, it does a little bit.
10:21You were protecting me, so why would you feel bad about it?
10:24It's anyone's fault's mine.
10:26Yeah.
10:26If I just told the police and told the truth and he wouldn't have come around here, I wound up.
10:30Yeah, well, the fact is, I did push him and he did get hurt, so...
10:34So you're really going to go around there?
10:36Yeah?
10:36I don't think it'll do your cause any home if I do.
10:39Is that nice?
10:41It is a you've got mail ding.
10:47What?
10:48What is it?
10:48It's a mass letter to all parents and citizens from John Palmer.
10:53Dear blah, blah, blah, blah, express deep concern about the treatment of my son
10:58and have been advised by legal representatives to ask other parents and students
11:04if they have similar complaints against the staff member involved or any other blah, blah, blah.
11:11I do.
11:12You're not still going over there, are you?
11:14Yep.
11:14Miles!
11:25Hey, Trey.
11:27How are you going?
11:29Dad.
11:38What the hell are you doing here?
11:39I just came to see how Trey was and to apologise for the accident.
11:43Well, you've got a nerve show in your face.
11:45Or is this another attempt to intimidate my son?
11:48If you want to talk about intimidation, you might want to think about that letter you sent out.
11:52I don't have to listen to this.
11:53I think that's the problem here.
11:54You just want to hear what suits you.
11:56Trey, that letter was the truth, wasn't it?
11:59Don't answer that question, Trey.
12:01Why won't you let him tell you?
12:03Because he's told me everything I need to hear and he knows better than to lie to me.
12:08Yeah, see that pretty much makes it almost impossible for him to tell you the truth.
12:12Trey, just because he doesn't want to hear it doesn't mean you shouldn't tell your dad.
12:16Trey, go to your room.
12:20Maybe you think I should beat him till he changes his story.
12:23That's your tactic, isn't it?
12:25Mr. Parvitt?
12:27Mr. Parvitt?
12:30Miles.
12:31Hey.
12:33What are you doing here?
12:35Mr. Copeland was just leaving.
12:46And if Irene and Lou come back now, then they might split up.
12:49And then we'll always wonder if it was because of us.
12:53You okay?
12:54Oh, yeah.
12:55I'm just grabbing some pasta.
13:00Hey, I didn't think I'd see you till this afternoon.
13:02I just thought I'd drop by.
13:04Annie, can you give me a bill a second?
13:08Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you before.
13:10I just didn't want you to tell me that I couldn't learn.
13:12That's not why I'm here.
13:13What is it then?
13:14Did you call a guy named Russell today?
13:17How did you know that?
13:19That's how you did your bill.
13:22Okay, the truth is he came in here before to buy a coffee and to sell me some stuff.
13:26No.
13:26No, no, listen to me, okay?
13:28He wanted me to call him because obviously he doesn't know that I'm off the staff.
13:31So I did.
13:32I called him and I told him that I didn't want anything and that he shouldn't offer it to me
13:36anymore.
13:37That is it. That is everything.
13:41So what did you say?
13:42He laughed at me if you really want to know, but that doesn't mean anything, okay?
13:46I'm under control here.
13:47Three steak sandwiches, one whole the onion, two chicken salads and one plate of chips.
13:52And if you're not working here, you can get out of the kitchen.
13:58All right, look, I'll pick you up after you shift, okay?
14:03Well, snap two of those steak sandwiches won't make themselves, you know.
14:16Hey, what are you doing?
14:19I'm just dropping off a package for Belle.
14:22Something she ordered, is it?
14:23Yeah.
14:25Something like that.
14:27Did Belle ask you for whatever's in her package?
14:32Mate, get your hands off me.
14:34I said tell me or I swear to God I'll break your face.
14:37No, all right?
14:39She didn't order it.
14:43Then what the hell are you doing here then?
14:45Huh?
14:47How you calling a free sample?
14:48On the house.
14:50For old times sake.
14:55You touch me again.
14:56It'll be the last time.
14:58You come sniffing near Belle again and that threat won't mean anything.
15:17Where is he?
15:18He should be back by now.
15:19Ah, Miles is a big boy.
15:21He's probably just gone for a walk.
15:23He shouldn't have gone in the first place.
15:25I don't know.
15:26I think it's about time somebody gave that bloke an earful.
15:29I thought you liked him.
15:30He's working for the surf club, isn't he?
15:32Yeah, but he's got a lot of big ideas about who he is and what's what.
15:37He somehow managed to talk us into hosting a huge surf carnival sponsored next month.
15:43It's causing no end of headaches.
15:45Isn't that good for the bait?
15:46I don't know, love.
15:48Some blokes can talk the talk, they just don't walk the walk.
15:51I don't know who he thinks is going to do all the hard yakka.
15:54Maybe I should ask him for a job.
15:56Um, you know, if it's a fair whack of work you're looking for,
16:01you could probably earn a few bob and do us all a favour as well.
16:09Belle, you look terrible.
16:11Thanks.
16:12You need to go home.
16:13It's hardly any customers left in calling recognition.
16:15Annie, just calm down.
16:16The ship's over in ten minutes and then I'll go home.
16:18Would you want to have a sit down for a second then?
16:21Hello?
16:23Hey.
16:24Oh God, are you alright?
16:25Well, I look that bad.
16:27Worse. How'd you do a whole shift in that stuff?
16:29Look, it's alright, it's nearly over. What can I get you?
16:31Well actually, I came to offer you my services.
16:34Oh, thank goodness it's starting to slow down a bit.
16:36There's plenty more where these came from, young lady.
16:39Oh, Kirsty.
16:40Oh, you must be feeling terrible.
16:42The way that man's rallying the parents and citizens to speak up against you.
16:47Well, before the internet they had you calling.
16:50Sorry?
16:51Nothing.
16:52Uh, I guess you're not too keen to hire me then.
16:55Hire you?
16:56Well, Al said that you were desperate for help and I'm desperate for work, so I thought that...
17:00You can put on an apron right this minute if you like.
17:03Really?
17:03Oh, we'd be more than happy to have you on board.
17:06Sit down, let's talk about how many shifts you'd like.
17:09Colleen, I'll take those.
17:10Hmm?
17:10Oh.
17:12What?
17:20Bill!
17:20Hey!
17:21Are you okay?
17:22I'm okay.
17:23I'm fine, I'm fine.
17:25You alright?
17:25Come on.
17:26Hey, let's go.
17:28Alright?
17:28Yep, okay.
17:35I shouldn't have gone over there either.
17:37I mean, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
17:40About as good as my idea.
17:44I can't help but think the kid wants to get the truth out there.
17:47But he's been overpowered every time by what his father wants to believe.
17:54Martin.
17:55You've been on tenderhooks all day.
17:57No doubt.
17:58Look, I can explain everything about the letter.
18:03I'm glad to hear it, but I think you should keep your explanations for the department.
18:05The matter's in their heads now.
18:07Right.
18:08So he still wants to go ahead with the complaint against me.
18:11We can't overlook the fact that you've acted inappropriately.
18:14You went to the boy's house and pressured him into signing a retraction.
18:17But!
18:17Every single word in that letter is true.
18:19I mean, Martin, you know nothing happened between us.
18:22Like I said, it's the subject of an inquiry anyway.
18:24It's not why I'm here.
18:26Myles, your visit to the family didn't do you any favours.
18:29John Palmer's lodged a formal complaint with the department accusing you of assaulting a student.
18:34What?!
18:34That is ridiculous!
18:35He was defending me!
18:37Well, let's leave that for the department to decide.
18:40You might want to consider consulting a lawyer.
18:45Yes, everyone is pitching in and with Kirstie now we'll be fine.
18:49Yeah, I'm positive.
18:51Just don't call Colleen without taking out a bank loan first.
18:54You'll chew your ear off for hours with her whinging.
18:57Yes, everything is under control.
19:00So you just enjoy your trip and don't even think about coming back.
19:05Yes, I will.
19:06And they send their love too.
19:09Okay, bye.
19:11I can't believe what I just heard.
19:14What, everything's okay?
19:15Leah's going to be back soon?
19:17Okay, I exaggerated.
19:19But things are fine.
19:21You're really scaring me now.
19:23I mean, first you think you're over the worst of your addiction and then you talk-
19:25Hey! Hey!
19:26I just, um, I just spoke to Irene.
19:29Oh, what's she saying? Is she coming home?
19:30Uh, no, she's having an amazing time.
19:32I'm here, sit down.
19:33I'll tell you all about it.
19:35Um, yeah.
19:37So she's been getting a little bit seasick.
19:39But I just got seasick in.
19:45Of course I want Irene to come back.
19:47The less stress for you, the better.
19:49You are doing it again.
19:50You were saying that you don't trust me.
19:52It's not you that I don't trust.
19:54It's the addiction.
19:55It's the same thing.
19:56No, it's not.
20:09What is that?
20:11Your mate Russell left it for you.
20:14Do you want to open it?
20:18No, I don't want to open it.
20:20I didn't ask for it.
20:22But you're tempted, aren't you?
20:23Will you stop talking to me like I'm some kind of junkie?
20:26Right there.
20:27That's exactly why I'm worried, Belle.
20:29And I have to watch you go through hell getting off that stuff.
20:32If you push yourself to run, you're going to be right back where you started.
20:36You're wrong.
20:36Belle, you're a drug addict.
20:38If you can't see that, after how sick you've just been, there's no way you're going to get through this.
20:47Next time on Home and Away.
20:49You know how tough Roman is.
20:50Get through this.
20:51How about we see how you go today?
20:53And if we're both happy, then the job's yours.
20:55Where do you want me to start?
20:56She put me in charge.
20:57Because you're so responsible.
20:59Belle could have a good reason for keeping it to herself.
21:01Is there ever a good reason to lie and use people?
21:03Why do primaries go together?
21:05I've not seen you in ages.
21:07So are you saying Belle has a drug problem?
21:08That's why she's been so sick.
21:10Like why didn't you say anything to me?
21:11No, I'm so sorry.
21:12Because you know after everything, we've been through this and couldn't lie.
21:14We'll get married tomorrow.
21:15Are you a drug addict?
