00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want to stay forever
00:08Look to each day
00:12Come and away
00:18Hello? Anyone here?
00:20Lady, get out of here!
00:22I'm just going for a drive.
00:23Let's my brother go or I'll drop it.
00:26I'll be where you stand.
00:26Cool!
00:32He's gone.
00:33There's some workers and some security guards locked in the warehouse.
00:36I've got a lot of explaining to do, you know.
00:37You looked me in the eye and you liked me.
00:39Give me that, you give me that.
00:49Oh God, love.
00:51I am so sorry.
00:52I didn't mean to hit you.
00:54I wanted that booze.
00:55I was so ashamed.
00:56Hey guys, I wasn't busy at the dinosaur.
00:58Let me knock off early.
00:59We're going to make dinner if you want.
01:02What's going on?
01:03Has something happened?
01:04I've done something really terrible.
01:09I need love.
01:10You know I would never hurt.
01:11Don't touch me.
01:13Irene, what's going on?
01:17I hate her.
01:19I hate Annie.
01:22You hate her?
01:25What about Roman?
01:26How bad's he hurt?
01:28He lost a lot of blood.
01:30But the doctor said he'll make her for a recovery.
01:33That's a relief.
01:34What about Nicole?
01:35She's still in shock.
01:37Kirsty, I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you anything.
01:39Gardie threatened you and the kids.
01:41Roman better hope like hell the cops will leave this story about Gardie forcing him to do these robberies.
01:46Otherwise he's going to be up that well-known creek without a pedal.
01:49How far can back him up?
01:50He was going to hurt Nicole if he didn't go along with his plans.
01:53I don't understand though.
01:54Why didn't Roman just go straight to the police?
01:56He just wanted to do it his way.
01:58All right?
01:58Just goes to show what a complete flaming galah he is.
02:01He had no right to put you or anyone else in danger.
02:04Okay, I need to go.
02:05See you in a car down the station.
02:07Do you want me to come with you?
02:08No, no, no.
02:09I'm fine.
02:10I'll call you when I'm down there.
02:15I might be wrong, but something about this mess just doesn't add up.
02:20No.
02:21You're not wrong.
02:24I want to look on her little face.
02:27To my dying day, I'll never forget that.
02:30Annie loves you, Irene, and knowing her, she probably will forgive you.
02:36But you need to deserve that forgiveness.
02:38You need to be strong and you need to get better because I won't let this happen again.
02:42Do you understand?
02:46I'm going to call Jeff.
02:47He needs to know what's happening.
02:53I believe you just sat back and made me do all the work.
02:56Get over yourself.
02:57Us girls did all the important stuff.
03:00You just don't want to admit it.
03:01I'd be lost without you two.
03:02You really do make a great team.
03:05That's what I think.
03:07Okay, drinks.
03:07What do you want?
03:09OJ for me, please.
03:10Yeah, me too.
03:10Teamwork here.
03:11I'll grab a table.
03:12Yeah.
03:15Hey, how's the farm?
03:17Ask me again when I haven't been pulling out weeds all day.
03:20I'm well and truly ready to crash.
03:23So how are you finding it sleeping in there by yourself?
03:25Well, it's okay.
03:26Living on my own is taking a bit of getting used to, but it's not as bad as I thought
03:30it would be.
03:31And what about Hugo?
03:32Have you talked to him since you saw him at the farm?
03:35Not really.
03:37Well, maybe if you guys sat down and talked.
03:39I don't know what to say to him and he hasn't said anything to me.
03:42I don't know.
03:43Everything between us is so confusing at the moment.
03:45I just think the best thing for us to do is just give each other some space.
03:47What a flaming shambles.
03:49It's lucky someone wasn't killed.
03:51Yeah, you're not wrong.
03:51What's going on?
03:53Well, I don't know the full story, but Gardie, you know, this mate of Roman's apparently
03:56ran off the rails and knocked off a warehouse down on the docks.
04:00Roman was involved and Hugo and Xavier got sucked into it too.
04:04Was he all right?
04:05Well, he got shot in the shoulder, but you know, Roman, he's just tough and so on.
04:08Is Hugo all right?
04:11Xavier and Hugo, were they hurt?
04:13Uh, no, as far as I know, they're okay, love.
04:16They're down at the cop shop now giving a statement.
04:18Okay, uh, I've got to get going.
04:21That's for Geoff and Claudia.
04:22Can you make sure they get them?
04:26I'm so sorry.
04:27I should have gone to the police sooner.
04:28How could I stop this from here?
04:30No, it's not your fault.
04:31It's not Roman's fault either, Nicole.
04:32He's just trying to protect you.
04:33By letting Gardie blackmail him, how does that work?
04:37He should have gone straight to Charlie for help.
04:39Oh, hey.
04:40I came as soon as I heard.
04:41Is Roman all right?
04:43Yeah, he's going to be okay.
04:44I've been out of the farm all day.
04:45I had no idea this was happening.
04:47He's in there with Charlie right now.
04:49And Hugo and Xavier just left a few minutes ago.
04:51Oh, good, as long as they're safe.
04:54Hugo was like a total hero today.
04:57What do you mean?
04:58Well, he shot at Gardie with a spear gun.
05:01Roman said Hugo's the only reason they all got out of there without anyone else getting hurt.
05:08So let me get this straight.
05:10You robbed the bottle shop with David Gardner.
05:12You also broke up the home invasion at the Palmer Place.
05:15During which time you identify him as being the perpetrator.
05:18But you didn't report it.
05:20That's right.
05:21You then accompanied him to the warehouse yesterday.
05:23And after we broke up the attempted burglary, you went back there again today.
05:27Armed.
05:29For which I take full responsibility.
05:32And you'll face criminal charges for what you've done.
05:34But, Roman, clearly you're acting under serious duress.
05:38It's no excuse.
05:40I could have stopped Gardie at any point.
05:42So why didn't you?
05:43Because I was weak.
05:45Because I let him take control.
05:48He was threatening Nicole and you were trying to protect her.
05:50I think it's possible you'll have a strong case to argue in court.
05:53I'm not going to try and defend myself.
05:55Roman, I think once you speak to a lawyer...
05:57I'm not going to get a lawyer, Charlie.
06:00I'm guilty.
06:04Not just for this.
06:05But for things I did before you even knew me.
06:11It's time for me to pay for what I've done.
06:20I don't know what to say, Eric.
06:22I can't believe Irene would ever do that.
06:26She'd been drinking.
06:27I don't think she really knew what she was doing.
06:28It just makes it worse.
06:32So what happens now?
06:34I don't know.
06:36I don't even want to go back there.
06:37I can't face Irene now.
06:40When Jeff finds out...
06:42He's going to flip.
06:44I was just so excited she was back.
06:47What a crazy day.
06:50Miles has been worrying out of his head about Roman.
06:53Matt, what's happened?
06:54You haven't heard.
06:59Thank you for dinner.
07:01I couldn't get Irene to eat a thing, though.
07:03That was the same when he'd been drinking.
07:06You have spent so long waiting for the people you love to get better.
07:11You were worth waiting for, Belle.
07:16I'm so lucky you forgave me.
07:19If Jeff and Annie can't do the same thing for Irene, it's the sort of thing that's going to push
07:22her over the edge.
07:24Where's Annie?
07:25She's at the diner with Jai, but she said to tell you she'll talk to you when she gets home
07:29and that she's okay.
07:30Well, she's not okay, Belle.
07:31Irene hit her.
07:32Yeah, and Irene feels terrible about it.
07:34Good, so she should.
07:37Irene, this cannot happen again.
07:39You won't, love.
07:40I promise you.
07:42I'm getting help from the drinking.
07:45You hit her because you were drunk.
07:49What, Belle, you knew about this?
07:51No, no, please don't blame Belle.
07:54There's only one person responsible for hurting Annie, and that's me.
07:58You need help, Irene.
08:00But I'll tell you, if you hit Annie or anyone else in this house, I'm going to be straight out.
08:02Yeah, Jeff, that is enough.
08:03All right?
08:05Irene, come on, you need to rest.
08:06I'm so sorry.
08:15You've been in there for ages.
08:17Where's Dad?
08:18We're not finished just yet.
08:20For miles, for a moment, I'd like to speak to you.
08:22What's going on?
08:24It's not going to be too much longer, okay?
08:41How are you doing?
08:44You tell them about Afghanistan.
08:49We can get you a lobe.
08:50We can fight this.
08:52It's too late.
08:55Charlie's already called the military police.
08:57They're on their way.
08:59You can't do this to yourself, Roman.
09:02For Nicole's sake, you have to defend yourself.
09:05It's going to be hard on her, I know.
09:11I need you to look after her for me.
09:14Can you do that?
09:16Of course I can.
09:18Me and Kirsten, whatever it takes, mate.
09:21And before I talk to Nick, there's something else I need you to do for me.
09:25Of course.
09:27Hey, did you get on to Alf?
09:29Yeah, he said Roman's okay.
09:32Well, what about Nicole?
09:34I tried calling her.
09:35Her phone's off.
09:41Miles, what's going on?
09:45Yeah, all right, if that's what he wants.
09:48Hey, how are you feeling?
09:49Fine, thanks.
09:51Annie, are you okay?
09:54I'm sorry Irene hurt you, okay?
09:56But I've spoken to her.
09:56She knows how I feel about it.
09:57I'm fine.
09:58I'm just going to go to bed.
09:58I'll talk to you in the morning.
09:59No, Annie, just...
10:00I'm fine, Jack.
10:00I'll talk to you tomorrow.
10:06I was wrong to react the way I did.
10:09But you and Nick, I never should have thrown you out of the house.
10:15I promise I wouldn't get involved with Nick.
10:17You had every right.
10:17No, mate.
10:19I was screwed up.
10:21And I took it out on you.
10:24And in a lot of ways, I think I brought you two together.
10:28I've never stopped looking up to you, Roman.
10:32And that sure as hell isn't going to stop now.
10:37Yeah.
10:39Been through some tough times together.
10:43But I've watched you transform yourself.
10:47I'm very proud of you, mate.
10:52Thanks, man.
11:08I'll be waiting outside.
11:14What's going on?
11:28I've wanted to tell you this for a very long time, Nick.
11:32But I need you to be strong.
11:35When I was serving in Afghanistan,
11:38a fellow soldier attacked Gadi.
11:43And I killed him.
11:47And...
11:50Instead of owning up to what we did,
11:53Gadi and I covered it up.
11:57The soldier was...
12:00Elliot's brother, Mark.
12:04His family...
12:05Deserves the truth, Nick.
12:07Elliot deserved it.
12:09No.
12:12No, I know you.
12:13You would...
12:14Never deliberately hurt anyone.
12:18Mark was trying to hurt Gadi.
12:19You were just protecting your friend.
12:22You were just protecting your friend.
12:23If you tell the police that,
12:24if you tell them what actually happened, Dad...
12:29I wish I hadn't done this.
12:31No.
12:35I'm sorry.
12:35No, you can't leave me.
12:39I want you here.
12:40I want you here with me.
12:42That's all I've ever wanted.
12:43You can't go.
12:45You've become so strong.
12:47No.
12:48You don't even realise it.
12:50The way you handled Gadi and the way you handled me.
12:54Gadi, I'm so proud of you.
12:59No, Dad.
13:01Please don't go.
13:03Please.
13:04Please don't go.
13:07I've never believed in having regrets.
13:10You make decisions in life.
13:12And you live with it.
13:14But not when it comes to you.
13:18I waited far too long to have my daughter in my life.
13:22To see my little girl grow into a strong woman.
13:27I've been a fool.
13:33You are the best part of me, Nick.
13:36You are the best part of me, Nick.
13:52Roman Harris, I'm arresting you for the shooting murder of Corporal Mark Vogel while on active duty in Afghanistan.
14:08I went back to the house last night with Miles and Nicole.
14:11I tried talking to her, but she just shut me down.
14:14I can't imagine what she's going through right now.
14:18I thought I knew Roman.
14:22It just turns out that he has as many secrets as any of us.
14:35Come on.
14:44Annie, are you okay?
14:45We're fine.
14:46Annie, love, can we have a moment?
14:50Love, I didn't get a chance to talk to you properly last night, but what I did was so very
14:55wrong.
14:56And I'm more sorry than you could ever know.
15:00Love, I'm a nasty drunk.
15:02That's why I stopped in the first place.
15:06Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?
15:08Irene, I have to go.
15:15Actually, guys, I need to talk to Irene.
15:18Can you give us a minute?
15:20Everyone's right, but no one is sorry.
15:24That's the start and the end of the story.
15:27From the sharks and the jets to the car in the morning.
15:35Hey, how you going?
15:36Good.
15:37I heard Roman's been arrested.
15:39Yeah, he was in medical care last night.
15:42Transferred him to remand until he's coast-coached to court.
15:44All right.
15:45Look, this fishing trip, I was thinking about Perkins Point on Saturday afternoon.
15:49You still keen?
15:50Yeah, if you're keen.
15:51Yeah, I'll pick you up at two.
15:57Hey.
15:58How you going?
15:59I thought with everything going on at the moment that you would have cancelled the fishing trip.
16:03Why?
16:04It's not like they'd do anything about it.
16:06Do you want to come?
16:07Oh, we both know that's not going to happen.
16:08The smell of fish right now, I don't think so.
16:11But if you want me to come, I will.
16:13Oh, no, you're probably right.
16:14It's all going to be about beer and bait anyway.
16:16You'll be bored, Steve.
16:18Well, I actually only came to remind you how...
16:21About the obstetric scanners this afternoon?
16:24No, I won't miss it again.
16:25All right.
16:27Keep going.
16:40Thanks, Steve.
16:42The only thing I can cope with right now is coffee.
16:44You have to eat.
16:47And you also have to start taking responsibility for your behaviour.
16:52I will.
16:53When?
16:57When you can't keep putting it off.
16:59It is not fair on Jeff or Annie or you.
17:03I know, but I'm scared.
17:07I'm scared I'll let you all down.
17:12Irene, I have told you I will support you for as long as this takes.
17:17But you have to be the one that makes the decision.
17:21You have to take the first step.
17:27I will help you.
17:30You just tell me when you're ready.
17:40Yoink.
17:41Oi.
17:42What?
17:42You aren't going to eat it?
17:44Well, you're obviously feeling okay this morning.
17:46Yeah, well, I don't want anyone holding your gun to me, but...
17:50Yeah, I'm fine.
17:53Hey, I wanted to catch you before school.
17:55Come here.
17:56I'm so glad you're in one piece.
17:59Well, thanks to you, Hugo.
18:01Yeah, I heard about you too.
18:08So...
18:08Um, sorry about Rome.
18:10How are you feeling?
18:12Um, I guess I haven't really sunk in yet, but...
18:15Yeah, I'm in shop, I guess.
18:18I'm going to be late for school, so...
18:20I can drop you there.
18:22And I'll be in town on the weekend.
18:23Why don't I pop over and say hi?
18:26Yeah, that'll be great.
18:28Let's go.
18:29Okay.
18:34Go.
18:42I'll get the rest of your stuff later.
18:45You're upstairs first on the left.
18:51Is there anything we can do for you?
18:54No, I just need to be alone.
19:15Are you ready?
19:16Hey, Rekha.
19:17Sorry, we're a bit late.
19:18That's fine.
19:19Good to see you, Belle.
19:21Welcome.
19:21I'm glad you can join us.
19:23Come on in, take a seat.
19:27Well, take a seat, guys.
19:29Thanks for coming tonight.
19:31I'd like to throw this meeting open.
19:35Who would like to be the first person to step up?
19:44Hi.
19:46I'm Irene, and I'm an alcoholic.
19:51I've seen so many of these at work, but when it's your own child...
19:56I can't believe we're looking at our son.
19:59Yeah, it's amazing.
20:01So much for maternal instincts.
20:02I've been picking out girls' names.
20:04Although we did talk about William or Alexander.
20:08Maybe we could have Jack for its middle name.
20:10What do you think?
20:11Maybe we should just let the kid be born.
20:14We'll hold him in our arms, and then we'll know what to call him.
20:17Tony, I'm sorry.
20:18I didn't mean to be insensitive.
20:20I know that this child could never be a replacement for Jack.
20:24It's okay, Rachel.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:26I just...
20:27I might just go for a walk, eh?
20:51Next time on Home and Away.
20:53What's good to eat around here?
20:55Well, I can tell you what's not good.
20:56It's eating a lion.
20:57Not an antelope.
20:58You've got to be kidding me.
21:00So tell me, have you ever shot anyone?
21:01How am I going to tell Nicole?
21:02I don't know.
21:03I can't like him just because Nicole does.
21:05Are you okay?
21:06No.
21:07Usually when I feel like this, I talk to my dad.
21:09How do you go on with your life when you know your best mate's going to be in jail?
21:12You just have to hang on.
21:13This baby is a whole new beginning for us, and I'll let nothing stand in the way.
21:17How do you just put your feelings aside?
21:18Because I'd love to know.
21:19Martha, you don't understand.
21:20Just trust me on that.
