00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:09Lieser each day
00:12Come and away
00:17Why don't you just take me to the police station?
00:19You are my son and I love you
00:20And I don't want you to spend the rest of your life behind bars
00:24I'll drive you to the city
00:26After that you're on your own
00:28I'm so sorry, I just heard
00:30We kept asking for the help
00:32I apologise for that, we did everything that we could to get Jane up to maternity
00:36Our baby is dead
00:39We're threatening to sue
00:41And you're the one they're blaming
00:49It's been a long drive
00:52Why don't we take a breather?
00:54What time are you needed to be at the hospital?
00:55I've got plenty of time
01:04Excuse me
01:05Hi
01:07We're looking for Northern District's hospital
01:10Sure, just follow the main road, then go left, then follow the signs to Abbey Creek, then through to the
01:15hospital
01:16Great, thanks
01:17My husband just taken a locum job in emergency, but somehow forgot to ask for directions
01:23Sid and Jodie Walker
01:25Hi, and this is Indy and Dexter
01:26Hey, I'm Leah, lovely to meet you
01:28Hey, you wouldn't be filling in for Rachel Armstrong, would you?
01:31Got it in one
01:32I hear she's having a baby
01:34Actually, she just had a beautiful little boy
01:37Good for her
01:38And lucky for us, otherwise we'd be stuck back in the city
01:41I mean, look at this
01:44Beautiful
01:45No stress, no traffic jams
01:48No social life, nowhere to go, nothing to do
01:51Yep, great
01:52That looks okay to me
01:54Hey, at least we get to swim every day
01:56Swimming, awesome
01:59Yeah, we're doing the whole sea change thing
02:02You know, it's a cliche, I know
02:03Oh, good luck with that
02:05And if you need a good coffee, come and find us at the pier diner
02:07Thanks, thanks for the tip
02:09Bye
02:09Yeah, thanks, bye
02:11Okay, so we're here, it's beautiful, blah blah blah
02:13What do we do now?
02:15Well, the removal is done to you at the house for another hour or two
02:19So how about we go for a stroll on the beach?
02:22Huh?
02:22Or I could chat to my friends
02:23Any time you want to give me my mobile back?
02:26Sure, as soon as you pay your $500 phone bill
02:31Look, Dad's on his phone 24-7 and I can't even make one call
02:35Sucks
02:36She'll get over herself
02:39Hopefully
02:40Yeah
02:43It doesn't matter what we throw at Dexter, he always seems to call
02:46Windy on the other hand
02:47We'll be absolutely fine
02:50Look, we both agree, it should be a good thing
02:51For all of us
02:55Wait
03:00A fresh start
03:03Right?
03:04Yeah
03:06A fresh start
03:16Hey, Ricky's on the way, take a seat
03:18Thank you
03:20I thought he was never going to go down
03:23Yeah, poor little fella's probably just picking up on our stress
03:27Look, you know there's every chance this is not going to go to legal action
03:31They're only threatening to sit at this stage
03:33The fact that Olivetti was on the phone first thing to organise this meeting
03:36tells me the complaint is being taken seriously
03:40The events knew that the baby had passed away before they got to hospital
03:44The autopsy confirms that
03:45Yeah, but it's not just about that
03:48We were so run off our feet that day that we let Jane slip through our fingers
03:54She was alone when she started to give birth
03:56No woman should have to go through that
03:58I'm not arguing that
04:01You've been clear right from the start
04:02You did everything you could to take care of her
04:04Except, unfortunately, it wasn't enough
04:07They're still claiming that they suffered mental anguish because of my negligent medical treatment
04:12Okay, okay, is there any way you can talk to the committee and see if they can put this off
04:16for a couple of weeks?
04:17I mean, you've just had a baby, Rach
04:18You're not up to this
04:21If I put it off, I'm just going to stress about it more
04:24And the events deserve answers
04:28I just keep thinking about them
04:31What kind of hell must they be going through?
04:38This place really is beautiful
04:40We've done the right thing moving here, you'll see
04:47Someone has been trying to contact you all the morning
04:49Don't you want to know who it is?
04:51Oh, whoever it is can wait
04:53You really are making a new start
05:02Let me see your phone
05:04Sorry?
05:07Jodie, listen, let's
05:08How could you?
05:10How could you?
05:11You promised that would never happen again
05:13That's not what you think
05:14You look me in the eye and you swore that things are going to be different
05:18No more cheating, no more sneaking around
05:23We came here for the kids
05:25To save our marriage
05:26Doesn't that mean anything to you?
05:28Look, this woman is not my fault, okay?
05:29She's harassing me
05:30Do you want to take note for an answer?
05:32I can't believe how stupid I was to trust you
05:35Again and again
05:44Jodie, wait
05:46I swear
05:47If you follow me
05:48I don't know what I'm going to do
06:02Is there anything I can do?
06:05I just want to be anywhere but here
06:08It's not the first time he's treated
06:10He begged and pleaded
06:12Until
06:14I gave in
06:15And took him back
06:17I told myself
06:18It was the right thing to do
06:19I did it for the kids
06:23Sid barely knows them
06:25We know all about his work
06:26Oh yeah, and his extracurricular activities
06:32I thought
06:33If we moved here
06:35If life slowed down for all of us
06:38Then
06:39Then
06:40Then at least Sid
06:41Could find time
06:42You know, to have a relationship
06:44Yeah
06:44With India and Dexter
06:48I'm so sorry
06:49I'm sorry
06:50You really don't need to hear all our problems
06:52No, don't be silly
06:53You know, sometimes it's easier to unload onto a stranger
06:56Trust me, I know
07:04Oh, Sid
07:05What are you going to do now?
07:08I have no idea
07:11Jodie, just give me a call, okay?
07:13We'll work this out
07:15Bye
07:17You're delusional if you think Mum's going to talk to you again
07:20Well, she has the keys to the new house
07:23So, we just have to wait until she shows up
07:25And then what? You'll pretend like you didn't do anything wrong and we'll all have to go along with it?
07:29It's not how it looks, okay?
07:31Your mother has the wrong idea
07:32Didn't you use that line the last time you got caught out?
07:39You okay, mate?
07:44Look, I've got to meet the hospital in Australia
07:47You'll be okay by yourselves?
07:48So you're leaving us here on our own?
07:50Well, only for an hour or so
07:52Look, I'm sorry things got messy, but
07:55You know, we'll sort it out, I promise
07:57There you go
07:58You call me if you need anything, okay?
08:01It won't be long
08:07Do you think he's telling the truth?
08:08Do you?
08:10Mum should have walked out when she sprung him with the last skank
08:13Don't you care about this family at all?
08:15Whatever happens, we'll be fine
08:16Dad hasn't been around much anyway
08:18We don't need him, we never have
08:24Hey, you off a day with me, my sister?
08:28Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure
08:29I'm sending you guys around here
08:33Um, I'm Xavier
08:34Yeah, hi, whatever
08:36Dex, can I borrow your phone?
08:38No, I'm waiting for Mum to call
08:40Fine, are we going to play this game or what?
08:47I've been thinking of making the move for a while, now that I'm here
08:50I'm wondering what took me so long
08:52Well, we're looking forward to working with you, it's a small team, we stay close
08:55That's what I like to hear
08:57Dr Walker, good to see you again
08:59Likewise, Julie's just given me a tour, very impressive
09:03Look, um, do you mind if we push our meeting back until this afternoon, we've had to call a dispute
09:07hearing with Dr Armstrong
09:08No, not at all, I don't know the details
09:11But, I'm guessing this is the last thing Dr Armstrong needs, just after having a baby
09:22Julie, I wanted to catch you before I go in
09:25Ah, sorry, I can't stop, I've got rounds
09:27Okay, I just, have you, have you talked to the committee yet?
09:30Yes, they got me in first thing
09:31And?
09:32And I gave them all the notes I made
09:35From the day I told them everything I remember
09:38Anything you tell them, you've got to be sure, Rachel
09:41Of course
09:45After this happened, did you and Julie get a chance to talk?
09:48No, no, it was so busy that day
09:51I've made my own notes, it shouldn't be a problem
09:55I don't want to keep Dr Olivetti waiting, let's go
10:00Hello?
10:08Jane?
10:12You okay?
10:15Yeah, yeah
10:18Rachel, come through when they're ready
10:22This might take a while
10:23It's okay, we'll be here when you get out
10:30I'm never happy about leaving a patient in a corridor
10:33But that day we didn't have a choice
10:35There were no beds in maternity?
10:36That's correct
10:37We paged the obstetrician to review Mrs. Event
10:40But he was in theatre with an emergency Caesar
10:42Do you remember Mrs. Event telling you that she needed to go to the toilet?
10:47Yes, yes, and I made it very clear that she needed to stay on the trolley
10:50And then I told the nurse, Julie Cooper, I told her to bring a bedpan
10:56I had an emergency to attend to
10:58Perhaps I don't remember the exact order of events
11:01But I know that I spoke to Julie about the bedpan
11:03You need to be absolutely clear about this, Dr Armstrong
11:07Are you saying that Julie remembers things differently?
11:09What I'm saying is this, if Mrs. Event had stayed on the trolley
11:13Then this incident need not have occurred
11:16She wouldn't have gone to the toilet, she wouldn't have started to give birth on her own
11:19I understand that
11:22I've told you everything that I can remember
11:23And I am confident that I did everything that I could to direct help to the patient
11:28I'm sorry, I need to feed my baby
11:31Of course
11:35Can't they just tell you what Julie's been saying?
11:38They can't risk us comparing stories
11:40But it's pretty clear that she's given them a different version of events
11:44Yeah, I must say she did seem pretty, I don't know, awkward earlier on
11:49That's because she knows that I could be in a lot of trouble
11:52If this ruling goes against me, my job is on the line
11:56Everything that I've worked so hard for
11:59It could all just be for nothing
12:02Well, what about when you go back in there?
12:04Just, I don't know, tell them that everything Julie's been saying is a misunderstanding on her part
12:08I'm sure once they know that, it's all
12:10I don't know, I'll get sorted out really quickly
12:11Can you give me a glass of water?
12:13Yeah, sure, back in a sec
12:23Hey, sorry to intrude mate, but do you reckon we'll go to talk?
12:27Look, it's just that
12:30I don't think you realise how bad Rachel feels about all this
12:32And how do you think my wife feels?
12:35Look, I understand your pain, I really do
12:39The loss of a child is not something that any parent should have to bear
12:43But I just hope it doesn't cloud the judgement
12:47Rachel really cares for her patients
12:49And she did everything she could for Jane
12:51Maybe if you could just all talk together
12:54There's nothing to talk about
12:58Listen mate, you can try and cover up your wife's incompetence, but it's not going to work
13:04Rex, what's going on?
13:07It's nothing, it's nothing, this conversation's over
13:15You look a bit frazzled, are those nippers giving you a hard time?
13:18Yeah, I admit, trying to control a room of ten-year-olds has its challenges
13:21Yeah, well, ten-year-olds don't usually answer back
13:24Well actually, the smart ones do
13:26But it was kind of cool, because I would talk, and they listened
13:31Wow, you make teaching sound really cool
13:34Come on, you love it, right?
13:36Yeah, I love it
13:37What time's the mail coming?
13:39Poster usually swings by around, I don't know, three o'clock
13:42Why, are you spending something?
13:43Oh, just wondering
13:47Everything's messed up
13:47And then we'd pack up our bags, we'd drive all the way here
13:50And then our mum and dad, oh, they kind of had a few problems
13:55A few problems?
13:57Mum found out dad's been cheating on her again, and then she ran off
14:01That's a real bummer
14:02Is there another public paper?
14:04Yeah, just down the road, about a hundred metres towards the bay
14:07I can take you if you like
14:08I'll be fine
14:09What about the game?
14:11No offence, but we won't be hanging around this dump for long
14:13So there's no real point making things
14:16Basic Dex, mum's not going to let dad get away with it this time
14:18We'll be heading back to the city for sure
14:24That kid was always trouble, Alf
14:26Didn't matter what he did
14:29Lying, stealing
14:31Janina bent over backwards to make him happy
14:34Well, she was bringing him up on her own when she met you, mate
14:37It was never going to be easy
14:37And he took advantage of her every single chance he got
14:42If she'd come down hard on him in the beginning, we wouldn't be in this mess we're in now
14:45How is Janina?
14:47What do you reckon? She's a mess
14:50All she talks about is Trey
14:51Can't seem to accept the fact that he's gone
14:55Good riddance, I reckon
15:09Mum
15:09Mum
15:10It's me
15:12I know
15:13You said not to call, but I
15:15Can't do it anymore
15:16I hate him so much
15:18Hey
15:20Um, can I borrow you a phone card I need
15:26Widow
15:34There we go
15:36Well, no wonder, Rex thought that you were trying to protect me
15:39Yeah, I can see that now, I'm sorry I said anything
15:41Well, if it's proven that there's grounds for the evidence to go ahead with legal action, it's not going to
15:46help my case
15:47Did the committee give you any indication which way they were going to swing?
15:51It'll probably take a couple of days to deliberate
15:54But it's not going to help that Julie and I have different stories
15:57Did you find out what she said to them?
16:00Um, apparently she thought that I was talking about getting a bedpan for a different patient when I meant Jane
16:06Honestly, we were so busy that day, I can understand how she got it mixed up
16:10Alright, but at the end of the day, it's like I said, you did nothing wrong
16:12You did everything you could for Jane, the circumstances were against you, Rach
16:17Except, we got to bring our baby home, Jane and Rex didn't
16:22Yes, but if this is about putting your career on the line, you have to fight for this
16:28No, we'll just wait and see what happens
16:36I'm glad you got to meet some local kids before school actually starts
16:39What about you? Did you talk to Mum?
16:43Yeah
16:44Well, where is she? What happened?
16:47Okay, look
16:49Your mother's gone back to the city
16:51She's decided she needs some time to work out what she wants
16:53So, that means it's just us three for a while
16:56What?
16:57Wait, no, she's gone
16:59I don't understand
17:00Look, I'm sorry Dex
17:01Why did you want to take us with her?
17:03Obviously Mum's finally had enough and walked out
17:05But how could she leave us?
17:06Like I said, she just needs some time alone
17:09Right, she wanted to say goodbye, but...
17:11She knew that she'd only get more upset
17:12Yeah, we get it
17:13Well, I know
17:14Okay, this whole thing sucks
17:16Guess who we've got to blame for that?
17:18You have to fix this, okay?
17:19Call her again
17:20Just tell her you're sorry, okay?
17:22You'll do anything she wants, just get her back
17:24Maybe once she calms down, okay?
17:27You know your mum, she gets a bit emotional
17:29She started being emotional because you lied to her
17:34And he's right, you don't care about us
17:36That's not right
17:37Then why do you keep hooking up with other women?
17:39Because he can
17:40Because that's all he cares about
17:42And if anyone gets hurt, it's too bad, right?
17:44I hope Mum doesn't come back
17:46At least it means she's finally grown some backbone
17:53Hey!
17:54Hey!
17:54You still want to go to Yabby Creek? I'm into it
17:55Yeah, just give me a minute, I'll just put some washing on
18:15Julie, um, come in
18:17I was just about to put dinner on
18:20Tony had to duck out to the surf club
18:23It's okay, I won't stay long
18:27After the committee spoke to you
18:28They called me back in
18:30And told me about my misunderstanding
18:34Right
18:34There was no misunderstanding
18:37I followed your orders that day
18:39I am sure of it
18:40Julie, I'm sorry, but I remember differently
18:42Well, I'm surprised you remember anything
18:45You'd already mixed up another patient's medication that very morning
18:48You're just lucky I corrected you on that
18:51Well, that's hardly relevant to Joan Avon's case
18:53Of course it's relevant
18:55The fact is, you were not clear-headed enough to be working
19:00I know you don't want to hear this
19:02But you were a liability that day
19:07I didn't realise you felt that strongly
19:09Well, it's my career too
19:12And I refuse to take the blame for your mistake
19:38You sure this couple's going to go ahead and sit?
19:41Oh, well, they want answers, Elf
19:42And I guess if the committee can't give them that, then, yeah
19:45You sure this couple's going to go ahead and sit?
19:45Go to court
19:46Oh, mate, I'm sorry to hear that
19:47It's the last thing you and Rach will need at the moment
19:51Oh, you know, we'll be alright
19:52Every time we look at Harry, we know we're lucky
19:55But, I must say, Rach has taken this pretty hard
19:58You know, the whole being a new mum thing
20:00Getting used to the night foods and your whole life out of whack
20:04Actually, that's why I came to see you
20:06With everything going on at home
20:07I'm just not sure I can fill in for Johnny Palmer at the surf club meetings
20:10Oh, mate, don't worry about that
20:12The way things look, he's going to be up and about in no time anyway
20:16Oh, good
20:33I'm ringing to enquire about my brother, John Palmer
20:37I was thinking of paying him a visit
20:39I was wondering what room he was in
20:47Next time on Home and Away
20:49You're not allowed to fish there?
20:50Oh, God
20:51The trouble with blokes like him is they go fishing a couple of times
20:53And suddenly, they're an expert
20:55I am completely out of my depth
20:56There's a party at the docks
20:58Hello, it's called a party for a reason
21:00And I intend to make it a big one
21:02Don't talk me out of liking before I even get started
21:04You don't have to laugh at everything he says
21:06I'm just glad you came
21:07If that's an attempt at flirtation, you're going to have to try it a lot harder
21:10I don't want you to do anything stupid
21:12I knew you'd come crawling back
21:13You're pathetic
21:14We can work something out
21:15It's too late, it's over
