00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:09Lucer each day, room and away
00:16Hey, what's with all the bags?
00:18Oh, I've sorted things out with my brother, so I'm gonna go home.
00:20Joey, can you wait? This is work.
00:21Actually, I can't. There's a cab waiting. Bye.
00:24Bye.
00:24There's no way of knowing whether it's temporary or permanent,
00:27but it appears your father is blind.
00:31I'm sorry.
00:39There's no obvious appearance of damage to the optic nerves.
00:44Both his eyes appear to be perfectly normal.
00:47Except I can't see.
00:50Well, what can you see? Shapes? Shades of grey?
00:53Nothing. Nothing but black.
00:56I believe your loss's side is psychological rather than physical or neurological.
01:01What? What are you saying? It's all in my head.
01:04Well, there are many well-documented cases of transient or psychosomatic blindness as a result of trauma.
01:10For whatever reason, your brain just does not want to deal with any more visual stimuli.
01:15Are you saying it's like some sort of post-traumatic shock?
01:19Technically, it's known as a conversion disorder.
01:22If it is what you say that it is, how long will it last?
01:26Unfortunately, there's no known time limit for this sort of thing.
01:29I mean, it could be weeks, maybe months.
01:32Years?
01:34Look, I'll organise a psych consult for you.
01:37And given the right treatment, your recovery could be relatively rapid.
01:41I'm sorry I can't be more specific.
01:43There's just too many unknown factors involved.
01:47Fantastic.
01:56Watch where you're going.
01:58Sorry.
01:59Are you okay?
02:01Yeah, I'm fine. What's up?
02:03I was talking to the skipper of the Julianne.
02:06They need long hauls up and down the coast. I was looking for jobs.
02:09I know you're moving away, eh?
02:10Hopefully. If I get the work.
02:13Well, that's good.
02:14Are you sure you're all right?
02:15In your own time, Jeffries?
02:18Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just running late for work.
02:20Good luck, eh?
02:22Hey, we still a man down in case you haven't noticed.
02:24Is it too much to expect that it's out after work on time?
02:26Yeah, I'm here, all right? Get over it.
02:28What about...
02:28Sorry, boss. Won't happen again.
02:30Whatever.
02:31Listen to me, mate.
02:32I know you've got your troubles home and I've heard all about your druggy girlfriend.
02:35But if you want to be a nurse, why don't you go sign up at the hospital?
02:43What's gotten into you?
02:46Oh, I think you've broken my nose.
02:48No, I haven't. Come on, get up your big sock.
02:50No, I'm serious. I think it's broken.
02:52All right, well, um, we'll take a break.
02:54And when you stop bleeding, back to work.
03:00I don't think you were going to make it after last night.
03:03Yeah, sorry. It was a fallen day.
03:05Tell me about it.
03:07Leah's a mess. Charlie's not much better.
03:09Is she here?
03:10Charlie, I mean.
03:11Oh, um, I think you just missed her. Hold on.
03:16Yeah, that was her car. I'm sorry.
03:19What do you need her for, anyway?
03:20Oh, nothing. I just wanted to see how she was, about Roman.
03:24She's pretty spun out about the whole blindness thing.
03:27What?
03:28Didn't you know?
03:30It's Hugo and Martha were out when I woke up.
03:33Nobody told me.
03:35Yeah, it's so sad.
03:36And the coward that did it, he just walks away.
03:39Come on, I'll tell you all about it on the way to school.
03:41I can't go.
03:42I need to be somewhere else.
03:44What are you talking about?
03:46I've just... I've realised...
03:48What is going on?
03:49Sorry, I've got to go.
03:51Saviour!
03:53Mate, don't tell me the source is still flowing.
03:56What are you doing?
03:57Just pinch it.
03:58Yeah, I am.
03:59You need to lean forward more.
04:00You won't stop leaning.
04:01That's because you're not pinching hard enough.
04:03That's because it hurts you, will you?
04:05Well, why don't you hold on and I'll go get you a glass of Harden Up.
04:10You've got to be curious.
04:12Someone call the cops.
04:15We had a call reporting an assault.
04:17Assault?
04:17It was just a little love pattern.
04:19Looks like more than that to me.
04:21Nah, it's because he's soft.
04:22It's okay.
04:23It was my own fault.
04:24What did you say?
04:25Sit down, lean forward, keep pinching.
04:27Are you okay?
04:29Yeah, it's fine.
04:30It just looks bad because of the blood.
04:33Still, I think we should take you to get checked out.
04:36You're kidding, aren't you?
04:37We'll be back later to talk to you as well.
04:39So don't go anywhere, understood?
04:40I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to.
04:42No crew left.
04:43Let's go.
04:45I'm sorry, mate.
04:46It's okay, slugger.
04:47Sort yourself out.
04:49See you back here tomorrow, okay?
05:09So what was it all about anyway?
05:12Just me being stupid.
05:14Who gave you the tip anyway?
05:18Joey.
05:20I was nice of her, but she needn't bothered.
05:23So have you seen much of her lately?
05:25Is she okay?
05:28Today was the first time I've seen her in a while, but she seemed all right.
05:30I think she's going on a long haul anyway.
05:33Right.
05:35Listen, I'm going to get going, but sure I can't take you to the hospital?
05:39I'm already going to cop enough grief.
05:41What, if I go to the hospital with a female cop, I'm going to get hammered?
05:44Okay, fine.
05:46Stay out of trouble.
05:47Alright.
05:48I'll try.
06:05What time are they taking you to get the rest of your tests done?
06:08I didn't say.
06:10Soon, I hope.
06:16Nick, just because I can't see doesn't mean I can't tell there's something wrong.
06:21Look, I know you're holding back, but it's okay.
06:23You can talk to me and tell me how you feel.
06:26I can handle it.
06:29Okay.
06:33I'm worried about you.
06:36Everything's going to be fine, alright?
06:38Don't worry.
06:40Excuse me.
06:42Who's that?
06:43It's your Saviour.
06:47I need to talk to Roman.
06:49It's about the accident.
06:51I need to tell you who did-
06:52I don't think now's a good time, Saviour.
06:54No, no, Leah.
06:55It's alright.
06:57Let him speak.
07:01I need to tell you.
07:04It was Brendan.
07:07He caused it.
07:08He didn't mean to do it.
07:10But I've known all along and I didn't say anything.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:13You've known all this time and you didn't say anything.
07:15How could you be so gutless?
07:17Calm down, Nick.
07:17No, he's known and he hasn't even said anything.
07:19That's enough.
07:21Alright, I want to talk to Xavier alone, please.
07:25Leah, can you-
07:26Yeah, of course.
07:27I can't believe you.
07:36Okay.
07:37Why don't you tell me what happened?
07:42Ouch.
07:43You should see the other guy.
07:45Oh, wait, you did, but you still called the cops.
07:48Just in case you didn't stop headbutting his fist.
07:50Good joke.
07:52Here, come in.
07:58So, seriously, you looked upset before.
08:01And I thought, you've been there for me in the past, it's time to return the favour.
08:07Yeah, fair enough.
08:09So, what's going on?
08:13Honestly, I don't even know where to start.
08:19Gipsy said something about Belle that just set me off.
08:24Belle's been having some problems lately and she got taken to rehab last night.
08:28I have no idea where, I don't even know how she is and I'm not even sure if I want
08:32to know.
08:33Hmm.
08:34God, Aidan, I had no idea that Belle had a drug problem.
08:37Yeah, trust me.
08:38It's a long story.
08:40So, what about you?
08:42Got your job lined up?
08:44Got to go and check in with the boss in an hour.
08:47Yeah?
08:48Long haul, eh?
08:50That's a lot of time away from home.
08:52Yeah, well, there's nothing holding you here.
08:55So what about you and Charlie?
08:56I mean, doesn't she need you here for the witness in the court case?
09:00I don't know.
09:03Haven't really found out about that yet.
09:07What's going on with you and Charlie?
09:09Why do you ask?
09:11Well, I thought you guys were friends and you were living together.
09:14But Charlie's asking all these questions about you like she has no idea.
09:17And obviously you haven't caught up with her for a while.
09:20She was asking about me?
09:22Yeah.
09:23So what's up with you two?
09:24Nothing.
09:26She's just being a good cop, that's all.
09:29She was there for me with all of the robber things.
09:32And, you know, now he's in jail, I've moved out.
09:37I don't know.
09:38I guess we were just never really great friends.
09:42I'm not trying to blame Brendan.
09:44I mean, I know I did the wrong thing.
09:45It's just this big mess and I...
09:47Xavier, just tell me what happened.
09:55Brendan's just got this thing with blue cars.
09:58No one really knows why, he's always had it.
10:02He never meant to hurt you or Leah.
10:04And that's why I try to cover it up.
10:07To protect him.
10:09He's had to deal with so much in his life.
10:11I just couldn't handle him getting into trouble for this.
10:15I know I did the wrong thing.
10:19I'm just...
10:21I'm really sorry.
10:26Well, everybody's going to be pretty angry at you for what's happened.
10:30And they're going to be ready to punish you for it.
10:33But as long as you know, I'm not.
10:36Okay?
10:38I'm not angry with you at all.
10:40It takes a lot of guts to admit what you just did.
10:43I know it wasn't your fault and I know Brendan can't be held responsible either.
10:49So, I don't blame either of you.
10:53I should have gone to the police.
10:56I just...
10:58I was too gutless.
10:59Mate, you've shown a lot of heart to stand up for your brother and come and face me.
11:05And just so you know, if it was me and my brother in a similar situation, I would have done
11:10exactly the same thing.
11:13You got my respect.
11:21I'm so sorry.
11:29I have no idea where Xavier is. I just got home myself.
11:32Was he expecting you?
11:33No.
11:35I haven't seen him since this morning.
11:37He came around to pick me up before school and then all of a sudden he just took off.
11:40He didn't say where he was going?
11:41No.
11:42He just said he had to be somewhere.
11:44And when he didn't come back to school, I started to get worried.
11:48Oh.
11:49Charles, what's going on?
11:50Sorry I didn't tell you.
11:52Tell me what?
11:55Xavier's just confessed that it was Brendan who caused the accident to Leah's car and he's kept it from everyone.
12:01What? Did you know about this?
12:03No, it's news to me.
12:05Right. Well, with Brendan's condition, it's a complex situation.
12:09And as the boys' guardian, I think it's probably best if you come with us to the station for an
12:12interview.
12:13Yeah, right. I'll just grab my case.
12:18You did the right thing by speaking up.
12:20Okay, we'll be in touch.
12:29How could you know something like that and not tell anyone?
12:32How could you not tell me?
12:34You don't understand.
12:35You're right. I don't understand.
12:37Just when I think I'm starting to know who you really are, you go and do something like this again.
12:42But it wasn't me this time.
12:44It was Brendan.
12:46Well, then why not just say that?
12:49Obviously, Brendan's not responsible for his actions.
12:52Am I not smart enough?
12:54Am I not caring enough to understand that?
12:58What about Nicole and Leah?
13:02Are they not smart enough either?
13:04Are they not smart enough either?
13:06That's so insulting.
13:08Ruby.
13:09No, just leave me alone.
13:14So while we won't be pressing charges this time, I'd be careful in future if I were you.
13:19How's Aiden?
13:20He's okay.
13:21And you've got him to thank for the fact that we're not charging you.
13:25Just keep your fists to yourself from now on, okay?
13:28Not a problem.
13:33Why don't you go on without me? I just want to have a quick chat with our witness.
13:47Zoe.
13:50Please don't ignore me.
13:54I'm working.
13:58Right.
13:58Well, you called the police, so I'm just following it up.
14:02Right.
14:04Zoe.
14:05Please, Joey.
14:06Listen, I thought we parted as friends.
14:11I don't think you understand just how badly you broke my heart.
14:20I do.
14:23Because I broke mine as well.
14:30Charlie.
14:32Senia!
14:33Charlie!
14:34We need to move.
14:35They need us to the hospital.
14:36I'm coming!
14:52Is that you?
14:54Leah?
14:55Oh, yeah.
14:56It is.
14:56It's okay.
14:57You sleep.
14:57I'll come back later.
14:58No, no, no.
14:59It's all right.
15:00I wanted to talk to you anyway.
15:02Yeah, well, I haven't heard Xavier's side of things, but Charlie's been on the phone,
15:06and as far as Brendan goes, I mean, I don't know.
15:09What can you do?
15:11Nothing.
15:12Yeah, I want to talk to you about that too.
15:14Just, all right now, if that's okay.
15:16Oh, yeah, sure.
15:17Sorry.
15:18I thought that's what you meant.
15:19No, it's more us.
15:23It's just, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and, well, that's all I really can do at the
15:28moment.
15:28And, um, I don't know how else to say this, but I don't think we should be together anymore.
15:34Where did that come from?
15:36Well, things weren't really working out before the accident anyway, were they?
15:40I mean, the stuff with Vijay, I remember we were arguing about that before it happened.
15:44Yeah, but we could work through that stuff.
15:48I can see what you're doing, you're trying to push me away from my safe, but you don't
15:52need to do that.
15:52No, it's not that.
15:53Well, I admit, it was a bit of a shock at first, and to be honest, I did have my
15:57doubts
15:57about the pressures it would put on us, considering we haven't been together that long, but I've
16:01worked through that, and I'm here for you.
16:03Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not.
16:09Just, I'm doing this for myself, okay?
16:14I've got to be alone to concentrate on my recovery, and that's just the way I deal with stuff.
16:23I'm sorry.
16:26Do you understand, Mia?
16:28Yeah, I understand.
16:31I'd better get out of here here, then.
16:33Mia, wait.
16:33Thanks.
16:35Take care, Roman.
16:55I don't have anything to say to you right now.
16:57I'm not here to see you.
16:59I'm here to see Leah.
17:01She's in the lounge.
17:01Go straight through.
17:02Thanks.
17:10I know you'll probably never forgive me for what I did, and I accept that, but I want
17:18you to know that I am truly sorry for what I did, and I'm sorry for underestimating you
17:24and everybody, not realising that you'd all understand and forgive Brendan for what he
17:30did.
17:31If I could go back and change it, I would.
17:37Thanks for your honesty.
17:41Excuse me.
17:47Saviour.
17:48You don't have to say it again.
17:50I know what I did.
17:52Hey.
17:54I forgive you.
18:03But this is the last time you ever lie to me, alright?
18:06From now on, you need to be honest about everything.
18:19Hey.
18:28What are you doing here?
18:30That conversation that we started?
18:33We need to finish it.
18:35We need to finish it.
18:36Look, I can't hear.
18:37The house is in chaos at the moment.
18:38Okay.
18:39So come up with me now.
18:41Tell me what you meant.
18:42If you say no, we won't have another chance, Charlie.
18:46I was offered a job today, and if I take it, I leave tomorrow.
18:54Guys, I'm heading out for a while.
19:01I'm scared.
19:04This might seem shallow to you, but I'm worried what it's going to mean for my position at
19:11work, and my family, my friends, and Ruby.
19:19How are they going to look at me?
19:22Will you be embarrassed to be with me?
19:24No.
19:25You know what I mean.
19:27You're oversimplifying.
19:29That's because for me it is simple, because I don't care what anyone else thinks.
19:34Yeah, but maybe that's because you don't have as many responsibilities as I do.
19:38I don't want to go through my life wondering about what could have been.
19:42If we'd just stopped worrying about it and done what was right with us.
19:48Charlie, when I saw you at the wharf today, I could hardly breathe.
19:53That's what always happens to me when you're around.
19:58I thought that you hated me this morning.
20:01Are you serious?
20:04I'm in love with you.
20:08I think I'm in love with you, too.
20:17What are we going to do about it?
20:24Do you want to be with me?
20:39Yes.
20:43I want to be with you.
20:58I want to be with you.
21:07Dismissal.
21:11You're not really supposed to be talking to me now anyway.
21:13I just hope you understand what you're doing.
21:14You are not gay, Charlie, so don't even think about going there.
21:18I don't know what I am.
21:19It must have been really hard for her to tell you this.
21:21Let her know it's okay.
21:22I've called in the cavalry.
21:24Who is it?
21:24You'll find out soon enough.
