00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:09Nicer each day
00:12Coming away
00:16Just beautiful.
00:18You made it Rach.
00:22What have you got flattered?
00:23Oh you're just going to have to wait and see.
00:25I figure you might need something to look forward to after breaking the news to Ross and Morag about it.
00:30Yeah, good idea.
00:31I suspect they're not going to take it that well.
00:33I'm not sure I'm up for going out on a boat really.
00:35I might have had too much champagne I think.
00:36You seem fine, right?
00:37No, I really would just prefer if he went somewhere else.
00:40Charlie look out!
00:43Charlie!
00:45Charlie!
00:53Hey Rach, let me give you a hand with it.
00:54Oh no, that's alright, I've got it.
00:56He tells you how much stuff you need when you have a baby.
00:59Sign these and you're free to go.
01:01Oh!
01:02Gee, thank you so much for taking good care of us.
01:04It's a pleasure.
01:05Just make sure you bring this one back into visit soon.
01:07I will.
01:08Thanks.
01:08Bye.
01:08Bye.
01:10Now we need to put Harry in the bassinet as soon as we get home.
01:13Mm-hmm.
01:13Just to get used to it in a calm way while he's still awake.
01:16That's what the books say.
01:17No, that's what the books say, do they?
01:19You know what?
01:20You're gonna learn to fall asleep in front of the telly like your old man, aren't you?
01:23All right, all right.
01:24He's teaching him bad habits already.
01:25Come on.
01:26Come on, buddy.
01:29She was crossing the road.
01:30No, she was getting out of the car to talk to me and she stepped back into the line of
01:33oncoming traffic.
01:34The guy that hit her was way too close and definitely going over the speed limit.
01:38Well, I'm sorry.
01:39I had no idea she was rostered on for a shift today.
01:42I mean, she didn't mention anything at the wedding.
01:43No, she wasn't on duty.
01:45Well, I'm sorry.
01:45I don't understand why she was in the car with you.
01:49Just tell them.
01:50Tell us what?
01:53Charlie and I have started seeing each other again.
01:55I'm sure she was gonna tell you both.
01:57Really?
01:58I wonder when.
01:59But I don't understand.
02:00Why didn't Charlie just tell us?
02:02She wanted to tell you, Dad, she was just waiting for the right time.
02:06Oh, I can understand her reluctance.
02:09Martha is my niece.
02:11And her happiness was destroyed by Jack's death.
02:14Not something I can forgive.
02:16With all due respect, Martha has a new partner.
02:18Now she's moved on.
02:19I believe I deserve the same right.
02:21Sorry.
02:21I don't share your point of view.
02:23All right, not now.
02:23We're here for Charlie.
02:26How is she?
02:27Well, we suspected a fractured pelvis,
02:30but the x-ray showed it was a dislocation of the right hip.
02:32Oh, poor girl.
02:34She's in theatre now, having it reduced under general anaesthetic,
02:37but it might be a bit complicated.
02:39She has a very small pelvis,
02:40which would also explain the caesarean scar.
02:44Sorry, Charlie's never been pregnant, so...
02:47Uh, she has a scar.
02:49I assumed it was a caesarean.
02:52She had an operation in her teens.
02:54She suffered from endometriosis.
02:56That's the reason for the scar.
02:58Of course.
02:59Uh, I'll correct her notes.
03:01In the meantime, we'll keep her in for monitoring and pain relief.
03:05So it's nothing more serious?
03:06Just a few bumps and bruises.
03:08She's actually very lucky.
03:09The car snagged her clothing and gave her a severe jolt,
03:12but most of her injuries were caused when she hit the ground.
03:15Okay, can we go see her now?
03:17Yeah, I'll let you know as soon as she's out of theatre.
03:21Oh, well, that's a relief.
03:24Now, um, can I get us some coffee?
03:27I'll come.
03:29I'm sorry we didn't come clean to start with.
03:32It wasn't the way I wanted to handle things,
03:33but I had to respect Charlie's wishes.
03:35I'm sure it was Charlie's decision to keep us in the dark,
03:38but, uh, it's out now and we'll all deal with it,
03:41one way or another.
03:49I might put these here, probably these as well, out of the way.
03:54Um, did you get the breath pump from the pharmacy?
03:56Yeah, yeah, it's on the bench.
03:57But you're not going to be needing that or the bottles for a while, are you?
04:00No, I just want to know that they're here when I do need them.
04:04Um, I should probably put him in his bassinet now.
04:07Well, he's okay, he's really relaxed.
04:09Aren't you, mate?
04:10Surely he can stay here for a while before he goes in for a nap?
04:13But, we should do it now.
04:15The point is that it shouldn't be for a nap,
04:16it should be before that happens, right?
04:20Hello?
04:20Hey!
04:21Come in.
04:21Hello!
04:22Oh, look at you.
04:24What's this point?
04:25Oh, we saw the car in the driveway,
04:27thought we'd pop over and welcome the new neighbour.
04:30Congratulations.
04:30He's finally home, eh?
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah, we just got in.
04:33We're just trying to figure out what to do to ourselves.
04:35Oh, we won't stay long.
04:36We just wanted to let you know that Charlie's been in an accident.
04:39What?
04:40When did this happen?
04:41Uh, this afternoon.
04:42Yeah.
04:42She'll be okay.
04:43But I just got a call from Monty Morag,
04:45and she's found out about her and Angelo.
04:47So you can imagine how happy she is.
04:49Oh.
04:50That'd be it.
04:51Okay.
04:52Oh, yeah.
04:52Hey, what are we doing standing here?
04:53Look, why don't you, um, you take him,
04:55and I'll put the kettle on.
04:56Oh.
04:58Excuse you.
05:01Bye.
05:09Are you sure you're not in any pain?
05:11I'm much better now.
05:12My heaps back in.
05:14Stop worrying.
05:15Is there anything we can get for you?
05:18No.
05:21So I guess you heard how the accident happened.
05:26Charlie, they know about Angela.
05:31I'm sorry, Dad.
05:32Well, I'm not gonna pretend I'm over the moon about it,
05:34given the history for all of us,
05:36but it's not really up for us to judge, is it?
05:39It'd be nice if we'd heard it from you first, though.
05:42Hey.
05:52What's he doing here?
05:55You know that guy?
05:57Yeah, he's a friend's brother.
06:00He's the guy who hit Charlie.
06:01Brett was driving the car.
06:04Angelo, please leave it.
06:05For the record, mate, I know you were speeding.
06:06You were well over the limit.
06:07She didn't even see you coming.
06:08Angelo, don't. Please.
06:09Where do you get off having a go at me, mate?
06:11I'm not the one that caused your accident.
06:12You are gonna be charged with dangerous driving.
06:14I can guarantee it.
06:15Dad, make him stop. It was my fault.
06:17Yeah, that's right.
06:18You got a family.
06:19You wrecked the only family I ever had.
06:21Joey's never coming back because of you.
06:23Wait, what are you talking about?
06:24If you're trying to cause more trouble for yourself, it's working.
06:26Angelo, stop it!
06:27Thank God's sake, look what you're doing.
06:29Come away.
06:30What's going on in here?
06:34Um, she's in quite a bit of pain.
06:37Take some deep breaths for me, okay? Try to relax.
06:39I'll top up your medication.
06:41And I strongly suggest you all go home and let our patients get some rest.
06:45Well, I'd like to stay if I could.
06:47No.
06:47I just wanna sleep.
06:50I'll be back first thing in the morning, okay?
06:55I'll see you, sweetheart.
07:11I'll see you, sweetheart.
07:17You're welcome.
07:21I'm dead.
07:21You're welcome, honey.
07:23I'm dead.
07:25I'll be back.
07:26I'll be back.
07:26How are you feeling?
07:29Yeah, much more comfortable.
07:32I'm going to go put these in a vase for you.
07:41Charlie, I'm really sorry about last night.
07:43I think it was just the shock of the accident.
07:46Seeing you get hit like that.
07:48I know.
07:49You probably think it's the worst thing I could have done
07:50as far as you'd had more at go, right?
07:53Um, it didn't help anything.
07:57Charlie, this morning I wanted to go around there
08:00and pick up Britt Collins and arrest him,
08:02but obviously you've got some kind of history with him.
08:04Yeah, and you're not to charge him under any circumstances.
08:07I'm not?
08:08I don't want this blowing up into a mess,
08:10and it was my fault anyway.
08:12Am I allowed to ask?
08:19This Joey guy,
08:21he's the one you were involved with
08:22before you and I got back together, isn't he?
08:26Yes and no.
08:28Is it possible you can be a little bit more specific for me?
08:34Yes.
08:36Joey is the person that I was involved with.
08:41And no, she wasn't a guy.
08:44She?
08:52Hey, hi, come in.
08:53Tony.
08:54Um, sorry, but we were just next door
08:56and wanted to congratulate you on Summer Bay's latest residence.
08:59Yes, congratulations, Tony.
09:00Oh, thank you.
09:01We missed you at Adam's wedding.
09:02Um, Aidan's, darling.
09:04Well, Martha's been telling us
09:06that Harry's going to have to beat off all the girls with a stick.
09:09As long as it's not the other way around, eh?
09:11Yeah.
09:11Hello.
09:12Oh, Rachel, how are you?
09:14Um, oh, where's the baby?
09:17Oh, I just put him down.
09:18He was up at five in the morning.
09:19He's only just gone back to sleep.
09:20Oh.
09:21Oh, rotten timing.
09:22I don't know.
09:23Fuck.
09:23Well, if you're going quietly,
09:24you can have a look at him in the bassinet.
09:26Oh, in our room.
09:27Can I get you for a second?
09:29Yeah, sure.
09:34Tony, you have to get rid of them.
09:35What do you mean?
09:36They just got here.
09:36I know, but I haven't slept.
09:38And all the books say that I need to use this time
09:40while he's sleeping to rest,
09:42and I can't do that while they're here.
09:43Please.
09:44Sure.
09:45Okay, I'll tell him.
09:50Ah, he's, uh, sweet.
09:52Well done, lovely little boy.
09:54Yeah, thanks, Ross.
09:55We think so.
09:56A little biased, though, maybe.
09:57Ah, look, guys,
09:58I know I'm not going to win host of the year here,
10:00but I can't even offer you a cup of tea.
10:02Rachel needs to sleep,
10:03and I've got to do some washing.
10:03Now, please don't even apologise.
10:05We weren't intending to stay.
10:07Just thank you very much for letting us see him.
10:09We were heading to the hospital soon anyway.
10:11Oh, of course.
10:12Can you give Charlie our love, yeah?
10:14Yeah, will do.
10:14See you later.
10:15Bye.
10:20What have you got?
10:24There's a cup of tea here, okay?
10:25Don't let it get cold.
10:26I'm just going to go and hang some washing.
10:27Oh, thank you, thank you.
10:40Yahoo!
10:41I'm in me!
10:46I didn't stay long.
10:48Dr. Armstrong didn't seem all that keen on having visitors.
10:51Well, I'm sure she appreciated your casserole, Colin.
10:53Yeah, but Tony,
10:55though he's a natural with the baby,
10:56it's lovely to see.
10:58How was I supposed to know that would happen?
11:01You know I can't control these things.
11:04Look, you know where I stand, right?
11:05That's my final offer.
11:07I'll speak to you later.
11:09Hi.
11:10Hi.
11:11You look stunning.
11:14Are you blind?
11:15I'm in my trackies.
11:16It works for me.
11:17You could be in a eschen sack and you still look smoking.
11:19And you've got a rag in your hair.
11:21It's like house frow hot.
11:24Who are you talking to?
11:25Oh, just a pushy tour operator.
11:27They're trying to use something that happened the other day
11:28to score a free group dive.
11:30What are you having?
11:30You shouldn't be stressed about work.
11:33You're still recovering.
11:34I'm fine.
11:36No, seriously, I nearly lost you.
11:38I'm worried about you.
11:39Well, don't be worried because I'm not going anywhere.
11:43Hmm, you may not.
11:48I don't blame her for leaving me.
11:52And I don't blame her for not contacting me either.
11:56But I guess that's made it a bit hard to get closure.
12:03Why didn't you tell me any of this?
12:06I did tell you there was someone else.
12:10Does it really matter whether it was a man or a woman?
12:13Well, it depends.
12:15Is this something that's going to raise its head again?
12:18What happens when Joey comes back?
12:20I'm with you now.
12:22That's all you need to know.
12:25I don't intend to two-time anyone now or in the future.
12:32You're struggling with it, aren't you?
12:36It's not the woman thing, although that was a bit of a shock, I admit.
12:40But Charlie, you didn't tell me one of the most important things about yourself.
12:47This is a massive piece of information to leave out of a conversation.
12:52That, and you didn't tell your family that we're back together.
12:55But you said you understood that.
12:56Yeah, I did, but...
13:00Charlie, it's just so hard to read you sometimes.
13:04You don't open up to anybody.
13:06You don't let me in.
13:09I've made mistakes, but I'm here.
13:12And I want to be with you, but I'm...
13:14I'm not sure that's what you want.
13:17I don't understand where this is coming from.
13:20I don't know if I'm the right person for you.
13:25Which leaves us where exactly?
13:35I'm going to take it at work.
13:39Constable Rosetta.
13:43Really? Are you sure?
13:46No, I'll be there in five minutes.
13:48I want to see this for myself.
13:52I've got to go.
13:53Are you coming back?
13:56I'll call you.
14:12Take him through.
14:20What is it?
14:21The DNA test we did on the illegal immigrant.
14:24The Indonesian guy.
14:25The one that did the runner from the hospital.
14:27The one we're still looking for.
14:28Check this out.
14:30We ran in for our systems and in a pole.
14:31We've got a match.
14:32Just not the one we're expecting.
14:34Remember that hand that washed up on the beach three months ago?
14:36What about it?
14:37Well, according to the labs,
14:39the person who lost that hand
14:40is a greater than 99% probability
14:42that they're related to the runner.
14:43We're talking somebody of the same family.
14:45A child, a sibling, or a parent.
14:48The connection has to be that close.
14:55He doesn't need a feed.
14:56It's not wind.
14:58His nappy's dry.
14:59Why won't he stop?
15:03Tony, you're rocking him again.
15:05Well, that's what I always did with the other boys.
15:07Yeah, but it says not to.
15:09He won't learn to sleep without you doing that
15:11if we start it now.
15:13Rachel, I think he's just over-tired,
15:14and if that's what's going to help...
15:16Well, he's overstimulated, as it is.
15:18We need to try something else.
15:20Do you mind if I just pick him up?
15:23I don't care anymore.
15:24I just want him to stop.
15:27Come here.
15:29Come here.
15:31Oh, beautiful boy.
15:33Yeah, I'm glad you're...
15:40Oh, I don't know what to do.
15:43They tell you all these things,
15:45and they make sense.
15:47I mean, you believe them,
15:48but it's just so hard.
15:50Rog, do you mind if I say something?
15:52Please don't take this as a criticism.
15:54It's just a bit of advice that might help.
15:58Maybe you should stop reading all the books
16:00and try reading the baby instead.
16:06Do you want to take him out in the pram?
16:09I don't think I can.
16:10I'm hopeless.
16:12I can't even cope with a walk around the block.
16:14Hey, look.
16:15We've got a perfectly normal, healthy baby
16:17who's behaving like a perfectly normal, healthy baby.
16:21Very soon, we're all going to be in a nice little rhythm,
16:23and it's going to be okay.
16:26Trust me.
16:27It's all good.
16:28Right?
16:34All right.
16:35No worries, love.
16:36I'll take you both out tomorrow.
16:38We can take a picnic basket and maybe throw in a line.
16:41Thank you, Alfred.
16:43A day on the Blacksland is just what Ross needs.
16:46You know, he seems better lately.
16:48Well, he's fairly stable on medication,
16:49but I think Charlie's accident has, well,
16:53caused a bit of a setback.
16:54Yeah, it's all the worry, I suppose.
16:56Well, he gets very disorientated when he's tired or stressed.
16:59So, a day on the boat will work wonders.
17:01Like I said, it's a pleasure.
17:03Where is Ross, anyway?
17:04Um, oh, he's at the hospital.
17:06Hey.
17:09Um, excuse me.
17:14Good afternoon, Hugo.
17:16All right.
17:18Um, how's Charlie today?
17:20I tried to call the hospital.
17:21They won't tell me anything.
17:21Oh, she's coming out this afternoon.
17:23She'll be fine.
17:24All right.
17:25What about you?
17:28What about me?
17:30Well, what about your injuries?
17:32I mean, your absence last night was very noticeable.
17:35Yes, I'm sorry about that,
17:36but after all day on my feet at the wedding,
17:38I was pretty knackered.
17:40Mm-hmm.
17:40Well, I hope you're learning to look after yourself.
17:44Because despite your impressive heroics last week,
17:47I'd hate to think what would have happened to Martha
17:49if things hadn't gone so well.
17:51Yeah, don't worry.
17:52That's been playing in my mind, too.
17:53But I didn't really have a choice.
17:55Oh, no, no.
17:56I understand that.
17:58But I'm here to protect my niece.
18:00She can't do with any more blows in her life at the moment, Hugo.
18:05Don't you hurt her.
18:17Dad.
18:18I was expecting rabies.
18:20Oh.
18:21Wanted to come myself.
18:28Charlie, we need to talk.
18:30After last night, I've been thinking,
18:33for your sake,
18:34it might be time to put an end to all the secrets.
18:37Dad.
18:38Please, let me finish.
18:41I blame myself for this trait in you.
18:47Rightly or wrongly, I've led you to believe that keeping everything to yourself was the best way.
18:52No, really, you don't have to worry.
18:54Everything's fine.
18:54We both know that's not true.
18:57This illness of mine, it's cruel.
19:00And I know what Morag and Ruby never understood.
19:04Your over-protectiveness when I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, it was coming from fear.
19:11And you were right.
19:13I can't be trusted anymore.
19:15I say things I can't control.
19:16No, you still have enough control now.
19:17Let's just cross that bridge if we come to it.
19:20We will come to it, my darling girl.
19:22And it could be sooner than either of us would like to think.
19:27Part of the reason I moved back to the city was to spare you.
19:31But I can't stay away forever.
19:33I need my daughters.
19:36It would be better if everything was out in the open.
19:39Better for everyone, but especially for you.
19:41Mark, please don't ask me to do this, okay?
19:43I know you're only trying to help, but I'm begging you.
19:46Can't we just leave it in the past?
19:48Let's not dig it up again, okay?
19:49Please?
19:50Please?
19:51Come on, Charlie.
19:52Come on.
19:57It's all right.
20:04Hey, hey, just leave that, okay?
20:06You need to get some rest.
20:07Well, it's got to get done.
20:09Yes, it does need to get done.
20:14Maybe you should just tape my mouth shut until my hormones calm down.
20:17Sorry.
20:18Well, I don't think I do agree with that.
20:22Oh, God.
20:23Who is it this time?
20:24I'll get rid of them.
20:25Okay.
20:30Derek.
20:32Sorry to barge in at you at this hour.
20:33I wanted to give Rach a bit of a heads up, though.
20:37Why is something wrong at work?
20:38You're going to get a call in the morning.
20:40The healthcare complaints commissioners received a complaint.
20:44And what's this got to do with Rachel?
20:45The couple who lost their baby two weeks ago.
20:48Well, they're threatening to sue.
20:52And you're the one they're blaming.
20:57Next time on Home and Away.
20:59Sid and Jodie Walker.
21:00Hi.
21:00And this is Indy and Dexter.
21:02How could you?
21:03You promised that would never happen again.
21:05It's not how it looks, okay?
21:06Your mother has the wrong idea.
21:07You've been clear right from the start.
21:08You did everything you could to take care of her.
21:10You can try and cover up your wife's incompetence, but it's not going to work.
21:13That kid was always trouble.
21:15Good riddance, aren't we?
21:16They're going to find him.
21:16And when they do, he's going to pay for what he did.
21:18You need to be absolutely clear about this, Dr. Armstrong.
21:21Are you saying that Julie remembers things differently?
21:23I refuse to take the blame for your mistake.
