00:00So long as we stick together.
00:02Yeah, we can't get caught.
00:03Their little secret is the clue to this murder case.
00:07Home and Away is next on 7.
00:10Hold me in your arms, don't let me go.
00:15I want you to stay forever.
00:19You look so rich day.
00:22Home and Away.
00:28I told you I wanted to.
00:30Stop it.
00:32What's wrong with your hand?
00:35Just woke up and it was sore.
00:37Is it from your new job?
00:39Maybe.
00:40So our alibi, it's still okay?
00:42No one suspects anything?
00:43No, they don't save and I thought we were never going to talk about this.
00:46So I just planned it and then what?
00:49Sit back and wait?
00:50Yep, that's it.
00:52Pretty simple plan, I know, but trust me, they're the best sort.
00:55I took the liberty of calling the club
00:58and cancelling the booking for the public debate.
01:00Why would you do that?
01:01I guessed you wouldn't be going ahead with your campaign.
01:04Well, you guessed wrong.
01:20Okay, so what about a skateboard park?
01:23It's something this town is crying out for, right?
01:24As opposed to better public transport?
01:27Well, skateboards are a form of transportation.
01:30Save.
01:30These are questions that Jonah is supposed to ask me.
01:33You can chip in too.
01:35Ask me anything you like.
01:36You'll be fine.
01:38I'm still worried they're going to focus on the pole dancing.
01:41I'm going with honesty is the best policy,
01:43but I just hope that Jonah doesn't find some way of twisting it around.
01:46They can't.
01:47It's the best thing he could have done.
01:50How do you reckon, mate?
01:53It's always best to tell the truth, right?
01:56Uh, yeah, I guess.
02:01Charlie looked pretty upset before she left.
02:04We, uh, we had a conversation yesterday.
02:07About what?
02:08That's nothing, sweetheart.
02:09Was it about Grant?
02:10Because I can't think what else would make of that stress.
02:12It's between me and Charlie, okay?
02:14But now you've brought the subject up,
02:15it appears Detective...
02:18Uh...
02:19Robertson.
02:19Has some doubts about your alibi.
02:22Oh, he's just frustrated he can't solve the case.
02:24He wants someone to blame.
02:25Ruby.
02:25Well, Charlie has told us that she's innocent
02:27and she has an alibi.
02:29Unless you don't believe us either.
02:34Great.
02:35Great, guys.
02:36Thanks for the support.
02:37Ruby, if you're telling the truth,
02:38we need to believe you.
02:40But you must understand
02:41how other people might find it very suspicious.
02:43Yes, well, those people shouldn't be in my own family.
02:45It took you and Xavier a long time to come forward.
02:48And it's perfectly understandable
02:49that you should want to protect Charlie.
02:51I don't believe this.
02:52Charlie was at home.
02:53She did not kill Grant.
02:54I know you're trying to do the right thing,
02:56but she doesn't need you to protect her, Ruby.
02:57Oh, right, and all of a sudden,
02:58you just know what she needs.
03:00You have no idea what she's going through.
03:03Ruby, wait.
03:05Ruby.
03:06Ruby.
03:16Look, as long as we stick to the story,
03:18there's no way anyone's going to find out.
03:20Except Robertson's already on to us,
03:21and now Ross...
03:22Yeah, but he can't prove we're not telling the truth safe.
03:24No one can.
03:25I'm not going to say anything,
03:26but if Robertson comes after us...
03:28We'll be fine, okay?
03:30And so will Charlie.
03:31We just need to stay cool.
03:33Well, I won't tell anyone.
03:34Maybe we'll lie, so there's nothing to worry about.
03:37Hey, guys.
03:38Hey.
03:39I've got a really bad feeling about this English test today.
03:41I know I'm going to fail.
03:43Yeah, we're just talking about that.
03:44You know, maybe it won't be so bad.
03:46I think.
03:47Oh, another poem.
03:49Oh, my gosh, this guy's out of control.
03:51Take private.
03:53Annie, are you flushing?
03:54No.
03:55You love this stuff, don't you?
03:56You wouldn't.
03:57Uh, me.
03:59It's romantic.
04:09Good morning, Mrs. Soudanese.
04:11Sabalagia.
04:12I like to you too.
04:14Let me guess, you're here for a coffee.
04:16And to see you.
04:17Oh, that's called killing two birds with one stone.
04:19I'm a pacifist.
04:20I believe in doing no harm.
04:22Right, that's where you carry a load of gum.
04:24Well, I won't be wearing it tonight.
04:26We are still on.
04:27Absolutely.
04:27I'm looking forward to it.
04:29And let me guess, is there a Greek chef involved?
04:31No.
04:32Not new plan tonight.
04:34I'm doing the cooking myself.
04:36Wow, the pressure's on.
04:37No, more so when I was at Poissonier at a seafood restaurant in Paris.
04:41Okay.
04:41The Michelin inspector came in one evening.
04:43I was the only one in the kitchen.
04:44How did that go?
04:45Two stars for the restaurant.
04:47Not my career, unfortunately.
04:49There was a pair of affectionate saltwater eels whom I chose to liberate.
04:52Why would people want to eat eel?
04:54That's just weird.
04:55I don't know, but I'm guessing we're not eating it tonight.
04:57That's not to say there won't be any surprises.
05:00We wouldn't have it any other way.
05:03Sorry to be the bit of our tidings,
05:05but there's a letter written in here by John Palmer.
05:08He thinks your latest posters are an affront to family decency.
05:12I can't believe how self-righteous he is.
05:15Hey, darling, it's called politics.
05:17You know what?
05:18I don't care.
05:19Today I get right of reply.
05:21I'm going to do that interview,
05:22and I'm going to address every single point that he makes.
05:25This is one fight he's not going to win.
05:27Good for you.
05:30Look, I've got to shoot off.
05:32Good luck with the interview.
05:33Don't go too hard on a part, all right?
05:36Hey, if you and Ross are around tonight,
05:38you should pop over for a barbie.
05:40Oh, here you go.
05:41But actually, I'm driving him back to the city.
05:43He needs rest,
05:44and the only place he's going to get that is in the nursing home.
05:46Is everything all right?
05:48Well, he worries about the girls, you know,
05:50and he's hardly had any time to spend with Ruby.
05:53Yeah, I know it's been tough.
05:54I'm sorry.
05:56Listen, do you know if she's still working at the fish markets?
05:59Well, as far as I'm aware, yes.
06:00Why?
06:02Ah, you're worried about the alibi she cooked up with Xavier.
06:06Should I be?
06:07Well, she's sticking to it.
06:10Yeah, we'll see.
06:11Safe trip back to the city.
06:18It doesn't even rhyme.
06:19What's with that?
06:20A poem doesn't have to rhyme.
06:22Okay, well, don't tell that to Dr. Seuss.
06:25Whoever this guy is,
06:26he's obviously really in touch with his feelings.
06:28Yeah, a little too much, if you ask me.
06:31I didn't.
06:32He probably mopes around all day
06:34being really, like, depressed and weird.
06:37I'm just trying to work up a picture of who it might be,
06:40and I've got to say, this does not sound like Jai.
06:42Not at all.
06:44Well, then, maybe it is your little dream boy, Romeo.
06:48Although, he doesn't seem like the type of guy
06:50who needs to write secret love poems.
06:52Wouldn't he be more upfront?
06:54Well, maybe when people are really loud and over the top,
06:56it's just a cover.
06:58Maybe he's really shy, and that's why he has to write poetry.
07:02Only he knew how much an effect he was having on you, young lady.
07:20Hey, Jai.
07:21Hi.
07:22We were just talking about that English assignment.
07:24Do you know what you're going to do yet?
07:25Like, a film or something?
07:27I don't know yet.
07:29Because there's so many other options, you know.
07:31You could write a story or a poetry.
07:34Yeah, I'll probably figure it out the night before it's due.
07:37Okay.
07:38And what about Romeo?
07:39What about him?
07:40Oh, maybe he can help you.
07:41Like, if you were to write a story or a poem
07:43or some form of literature,
07:46maybe he's good at that sort of thing.
07:49Schoolwork's not really Romeo's thing.
07:51Uh-huh.
07:52Okay.
07:52Well, we'll see you later.
07:54Bye.
07:57Trippie, you were so obvious.
07:59No, I wasn't.
08:00I was way too subtle, and now we don't know anything.
08:02Exactly.
08:02A guy like Romeo is not going to tell his mates
08:04that he writes poetry.
08:05Okay, okay.
08:06So we just have to find out if he likes you some other way.
08:10You have a surfing lesson this afternoon, don't you?
08:13So?
08:14So, Annie.
08:15Make the most of it.
08:16Flirt like there is no tomorrow,
08:18and if he plays along, then you know you're into something.
08:20Ruby, you know me.
08:21I'm hopeless at that sort of thing.
08:23Well, you know what?
08:24It's easy.
08:25Just start with the basics, you know?
08:27Lower your eyes.
08:28Smile.
08:29Flick your hair.
08:30Throw him a compliment.
08:31Just whatever you do, don't, like, go on wink at him
08:33because that's really old school and weird.
08:36Not going to happen.
08:37I know what you're saying about Romeo, but I'm not you.
08:39Annie, you can do this.
08:41You are a beautiful girl.
08:43You just need to be confident.
08:44Anyway, how else are you going to find out
08:46if Romeo likes you?
08:48They're on to me.
08:49It's obvious.
08:50Of course they're going to be sussed,
08:52but it's not like they know for sure, so chill out.
08:54But isn't now the perfect time to break my cover?
08:56I mean, why didn't I just tell Annie it's me?
08:57It's not time yet.
08:58No, but I saw the way she looked
09:00when she was reading the poem.
09:01She loved it.
09:03Dude, you've only got one shot at this.
09:05Timing is everything.
09:06But if she likes the poetry, the timing is right.
09:08Right now.
09:09Yeah, and if you blow your cover too soon,
09:11you can totally stuff everything up.
09:12You've got to stick to the plan.
09:13And I thought the second part of the plan
09:15is all about being direct.
09:16Okay.
09:17So you want it all to happen now,
09:18and I don't blame you.
09:20But we haven't finished with the first part yet.
09:22And when's that going to happen?
09:23Soon.
09:23I promise.
09:24I mean, how long?
09:25A day?
09:26A week?
09:26What?
09:27Soon.
09:27Okay?
09:28Look, I've got to go.
09:30We'll talk about this later.
09:35Okay, guys.
09:36Let's get into it.
09:40Remember, when paddling out,
09:41use nice, long, even strokes
09:43to try not to drop in on anybody.
09:55You all right?
09:57I just wanted to tell you...
09:59Have you got something in your eye?
10:00No, I...
10:01I wanted to tell you
10:03that you're cut and really look today.
10:06What?
10:08I mean, um...
10:10You're looking really cute today.
10:14Okay.
10:17Anything else?
10:19No.
10:21Then you'd better get out there with the others.
10:42Hey.
10:44Hey.
10:46It's got to be that invigorating smell, isn't it?
10:49It just keeps bringing everyone down here.
10:51Can't resist it.
10:52Yeah, it's pretty special.
10:54Do you get a break any time soon?
10:57Yeah.
10:58I think I'm kind of due for one now.
11:01I'll be back in a minute.
11:02I'll be back in a minute.
11:05So what's up?
11:07Detective Robertson came to see me yesterday.
11:10Sorry about that.
11:11Half an hour of your life,
11:11you'll never see again.
11:14He's pretty much convinced
11:15that you and Xavier are lying
11:16about Charlie's alibi.
11:17He's not very good at his job then, is he?
11:19He's wrong.
11:22It's not like you haven't got a good reason.
11:25If it was my mother,
11:27I'd probably be doing the same thing.
11:28Yeah, well, it's not you, it's me.
11:30And anyway, as if I'd forced Xavier
11:32into doing something like that.
11:33Ruby, save the act for someone
11:35who might actually buy it.
11:37Robertson's not an idiot.
11:38He'll be watching you like a hawk.
11:41You need to go to him now,
11:43say you made a mistake
11:45and that you're ready to tell him the truth.
11:47But we are telling the truth.
11:48You could get arrested over this.
11:50So could Xavier.
11:51Yeah, but we haven't done anything wrong.
11:56Look.
11:59I know you're doing it tough.
12:02And I know Xavier's feeling pretty insecure
12:04about your relationship.
12:08He loves you, Ruby.
12:10And he'd do anything for you.
12:12He doesn't deserve to get locked up over this.
12:17Just because he's helping you out.
12:29Xavier.
12:35Got enough fruit there?
12:37And I'm all set if it starts to rain.
12:40It's ridiculous, I know,
12:41but how can anyone resist ordering a red squirrel?
12:44Where do you suppose they got that name from?
12:47Uh, probably someone's idea of a bad joke.
12:51Well, you'd know all about that.
12:53Given the nature of the alibi,
12:55you and your girlfriend cooked up for Constable Buckton.
12:58I don't know what you mean.
12:59Oh, come on, Xavier, you're lying.
13:02It's written all over your face.
13:04The wide eyes, twitching eyelids,
13:07trembling lips,
13:07even the way you're standing is a dead giveaway.
13:10No, I'm just here to get a juice.
13:11The thing I can't figure out, though,
13:13is who's using who?
13:15Is Ruby using you to get herself and the mother
13:18off a charge of murder,
13:19or are you using her to cover up something you did?
13:21What?
13:22It wasn't meant to happen.
13:23A sudden burst of moral outrage
13:25and suddenly a man's dead,
13:26and Xavier's doing everything he can to save his own tail.
13:29I didn't kill the guy.
13:30I didn't go near him.
13:33Then you'd better hope you know Ruby
13:35as well as you think you do.
13:36Because if the chips are down
13:37and Charlie's facing 20 years in jail,
13:39do you think she'll choose you over her own mother?
13:42Does Ruby love you that much?
13:45If she's already lying,
13:46and we both know she is,
13:47well, stop her lying again.
13:48It won't be fun and games after that.
13:50And you'll be in a very big hole,
13:52one that you'll have dug all by yourself.
13:56Hmm.
13:57That really hits the spot.
14:01See ya.
14:14Great job today, guys.
14:15I'll see you all next time.
14:26Well, we're finished for today, Annie.
14:29Is that all you've got to say?
14:32Pretty much.
14:34Romeo, what's going on?
14:36Nothing's going on.
14:38You're deliberately being difficult.
14:41Are you saying you didn't enjoy the class?
14:43You're not happy with the way I'm teaching?
14:45Of course, that's what we're talking about.
14:46It's okay.
14:48I'm right here in front of you.
14:52Yeah, I can see that.
14:53Well, then have some guts
14:54and tell me what's on your mind.
15:00You're all talk and no action, you know that?
15:14But on time, wow.
15:15You're looking very smart.
15:17Oh, were you in a hurry or was that done on purpose?
15:20You'll have to wait and see.
15:21Okay.
15:22It won't be a secret.
15:24Is this the first time you've had a police escort for dinner?
15:27Um, no.
15:28Not exactly.
15:29Oh, that's intriguing.
15:30Yeah, well, a long time ago I was engaged to a police officer.
15:34What happened?
15:36Um, well, let's just say it didn't have legs.
15:40So, are you ready for a bit of fun with this police officer?
15:43Now, when you say fun, there's no bungee jump involved, is there?
15:47Couldn't arrange it for tonight.
15:48Maybe next time.
16:11Hey, we're home.
16:12Hey.
16:13What's up?
16:14Nothing.
16:15Uh, it's just a lesson planned for my next surfing class.
16:18Well, since when do you write that stuff down?
16:20I thought you'd just go out there and win.
16:22Which isn't always the pathway to success.
16:24Take it from someone who's marked a lot of essays in his time.
16:27Yeah, I just want to do a good job, or whatever.
16:29But there's nothing wrong with a bit of hard work.
16:31Jai, we need to fix van six.
16:33Yeah.
16:40Well, let me guess.
16:42Just a little something you whipped up?
16:44Well, I've got to apologise.
16:45I didn't have time to go to too much trouble.
16:48Sit.
16:49Sit.
16:49I've got a proposition.
16:51Sure you do.
16:53Today, I'm going to find out as much about you as I can.
16:56Putting your interrogating skills to good use?
16:58No, it's not an interview.
16:59You're just going to talk.
17:02So go.
17:02And tell me something I do not know about you.
17:06Oh, um...
17:08You go first.
17:09Okay.
17:11I spent a few years in China,
17:13which is where I first became a student in fortune-telling.
17:16Although the practice of face reading is much more of an enthralling art.
17:21I don't think I've even begun to scratch the surface, though.
17:24What I find fascinating is primeval earth rituals.
17:27Again, there's more there than I can even hope to learn.
17:30And I collect records famous for their back-masking.
17:33I don't even know what that is.
17:35That's where you play records backwards to discover the subliminal message.
17:39Right.
17:39Messages from Satan.
17:42Really, what does he sound like?
17:44Well, I don't know, because I don't have a record player.
17:47I have been known and paid from time to time to cut people's hair.
17:51Love scuba diving, although...
17:52Well, I used to love scuba diving before I got the bends.
17:55I hate flying.
17:58Although, I'm entranced by the prospect of falling from a great height.
18:03Most importantly, though, Leah,
18:05I have an encyclopedic knowledge of romantic comedies.
18:08Really?
18:09Mm-hmm.
18:09Oh.
18:10So you've seen heaps of Meg Ryan films?
18:12Eleven.
18:13If you count Joe vs. the Volcano, which I don't.
18:16So what's your favourite?
18:18Favourite or best?
18:20Both.
18:22Casablanca.
18:24Casablanca?
18:24No, that's not a romantic comedy.
18:26Comedy, Leah, is in the eye of the beholder.
18:28Your turn.
18:30Oh, OK.
18:31I don't know how I'm going to top that.
18:35You already have.
18:43Hi.
18:44Hi.
18:50What happened?
18:52Oh, just an accident at work.
18:54It's nothing.
18:55So you said you're worried about something on the phone?
18:58I ran into Detective Robertson.
19:00He's on to us, Rubes.
19:02He knows we're lying.
19:03Yeah, but if we just stick to the story, then we can't get caught.
19:05But what if we don't?
19:07What do you mean, what if we don't?
19:09Are you planning on telling?
19:10Because I know that I'm not.
19:12Robertson just really got under my skin.
19:15OK, Zave, why would I change my mind and dob us in?
19:19This is my idea in the first place, and it's for Charlie.
19:22Unless you're worried about something else.
19:26No.
19:28OK, well, then you can trust me.
19:30I am not going to stab you in the back.
19:33And it really does mean a lot to me that you're doing this.
19:39I guess if it's like you say, so long as we stick together...
19:43Then we can't get caught.
19:53He should never have won that Oscar.
19:55Yeah, well, you know he thought the same thing.
19:57He wasn't even going to turn up to the event.
19:58But you know what I really love about that film?
20:00Catherine Hepburn.
20:01She's got men throwing themselves at her left, right and centre.
20:06What?
20:06What are you looking at me like that for?
20:08I'm just wondering how many men have thrown themselves at you,
20:11left, right and centre.
20:14Last count, none.
20:17That's what I call a tragedy.
20:20Well, I am Greek.
20:21Maybe at the same time as we invented tragedy,
20:24we doomed ourselves to it.
20:35Is anyone sitting here?
20:38Jeez, don't bother waiting for an invitation or anything.
20:41You're the one saying I'm all talking, no action.
20:43I can only go on what I think.
20:45Well, maybe you shouldn't judge so quickly.
20:48Are you going to do something to prove me wrong?
20:52Yeah, I think I am.
21:16Ooh.
21:23back to work. So that's what I'm going to do. Amelia's scholarship is going to be awarded to
21:27one of the two most eligible candidates, Jai Fernandes and Annie Campbell. We're talking
21:32about a free trip to Japan. Have you got something better to do? What you got there,
21:35girly? Nothing. Just school stuff. Must be ribbon and school stuff. Just a couple more
21:39poems should do it. Feels like we're lying to her. You're only working that out now. What else are you
21:42good at? Apart from poetry. This is a very big opportunity. We don't want you to miss out on
21:46this. Don't make any decisions until you know for sure how she feels. And if you miss an episode
21:51of Home and Away, you can catch up. Go to yahoo7.com.au slash tv. Yahoo!
