00:00The bad boy rockers falling in love.
00:03But will someone confess their true feelings before it's too late?
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.
00:19Life's a reach day, home and away.
00:26I took the liberty of calling the club.
00:30I'm cancelling the booking for the public debate.
00:31Why would you do that?
00:33I guessed you wouldn't be going ahead with your campaign.
00:35Well, you guessed wrong.
00:38I will see you at the debate.
00:40I'm not going to say anything, but if Robertson comes after us...
00:43We'll be fine, okay?
00:44And so will Charlie, we just need to stay cool.
00:46Is Ruby using you to get herself and a mother off a charge of murder, or are you using her?
00:51I didn't kill the guy.
00:52Here I am with a new career, new friends.
00:56For what it's worth, I'm glad you made those changes.
01:01Better buy you a cup of coffee on a cup of night.
01:03New care to share?
01:04Yeah.
01:13Any breakthroughs in the case, Detective Robertson?
01:16Now that would be telling, wouldn't it?
01:19Suffice to say...
01:21Suffice to say...
01:23Things are going to get messy.
01:28Oh, no, not again!
01:33You did like the song, didn't you?
01:35I haven't made up my mind yet.
01:36I think I need to hear it perform properly first.
01:39Oh, come on, do you think that little ditty on the beach is going to cut it?
01:42What were you expecting, a recording with the symphony orchestra?
01:45I don't know, a live performance in front of an audience, in my honour.
01:50Hey, if you want to impress me...
01:52The question is, do I want to impress you?
01:56Is that a no?
01:58It's a you'll have to wait and see.
01:59Well, fine, whatever then, huh?
02:03Oh, it's a...
02:04Ow!
02:11The fact is, people have been complaining about the public bus timetable for years,
02:16yet John Palmer, who owns the bus company, has done nothing to address it.
02:22So, what do you think?
02:23Uh, it's, um...
02:26It's factual.
02:27Great, you hate it.
02:28No, it's just a bit, um, boring.
02:31I was going to say dry.
02:32I reckon you should come out hard.
02:35Palmer's a psycho.
02:36If you vote for him, we're all going to die.
02:38Saviour?
02:38His baby could be a little less hysterical, but he's on the right track.
02:42Oh, stop it.
02:43Both of you, it's not nice.
02:44That's the point.
02:44He's not nice.
02:45Look, there's no need to stoop to insults and name-calling.
02:48I agree.
02:49I need to be professional and win on the issues,
02:52without putting people to sleep in the process.
02:54Well, in that case, you'll do great.
03:03All right.
03:05Hey.
03:06Hi.
03:07Oh, look at this.
03:08It's all very impressive.
03:09Pretty sure this is the right place for it?
03:11A bit of background noise helps me focus.
03:13It's just that the people who come in and out of this establishment may pose as a distraction.
03:17Liam knows I have to study.
03:19He's not going to be bothering me.
03:20Well, you just keep your eyes on the prize.
03:21I will.
03:22Happy days.
03:24G'day, Mrs. Copeland.
03:25G'day, Geoffrey.
03:27Hi.
03:27Is this the idea of a good study place?
03:29Please don't start.
03:30Myles has just been on my back.
03:31I haven't seen you in ages.
03:32What's been going on?
03:33Yeah, no, I guess it's called studying for HSC.
03:35You should be grateful that you're missing out.
03:37Are you sure it's not called waiting for Liam Murphy?
03:40That girl's got to have some distractions.
03:42Yeah, just as long as you know what you're doing.
03:43I do.
03:45All right.
03:46Study hard.
03:47Well, you know me.
03:48Mm-hmm.
03:55You're not even ready.
03:56Oh, really?
03:57Hey, we've got the guy coming about the new job this morning.
03:59Mm, you should take it up with the boss.
04:00Oh, wait, I am the boss.
04:02What's wrong with you?
04:03Did you go on a bender last night or something?
04:05I just haven't been sleeping that well.
04:07How come?
04:08I don't know.
04:08What, do you shrink?
04:09Well, you're obviously not happy about something.
04:14I just sleep, right?
04:15I saw him hanging out with Nick last night and it's just been bugging me.
04:19So that's why you couldn't sleep?
04:20Well, you asked me.
04:22Oh, yeah.
04:24We should have seen them.
04:25It was like...
04:26It was like they were together all of a sudden.
04:30All right, and I know the guy's a bit of a jerk and everything,
04:32but why do you care if they go out?
04:34Are you serious?
04:35Do you not remember what he did to Belle?
04:36What if he does the same thing to Nick, mate?
04:37Oh, yeah, okay, okay.
04:39We don't want that to happen.
04:42All right, well, we'd better go,
04:43because I want to get a drink at the surf club, so...
04:44All right, come on now.
04:46Let's go!
04:47Yeah, go.
04:47Yeah.
04:59I don't want to see him too much.
05:04Can I get an apple juice, please?
05:10Charlatan.
05:11Scam artist, nine letters.
05:15Thanks for your time.
05:18See you soon.
05:20Bit of an oddball, that one.
05:22Just a bit.
05:23Hey, I've got something for you.
05:25Radio Birdman.
05:26An old, live bootleg recording.
05:28Every surfy chick should have one.
05:30What's the catch?
05:31No catch.
05:32Just let me know what you think of it when you hear it.
05:35Okay, I will.
05:36Thanks.
05:37Thanks.
05:41Thanks.
05:42Thanks.
05:45Thanks.
05:47If you had half a brain, you'd tell your girlfriend to give up on this debate before she makes a
05:52fool of herself.
05:53You must have half a brain to think that I believe anything that you'd say.
05:57Martha's going to wipe the floor with you, mate.
06:00Yeah, laugh it up.
06:02But you coming to me like this shows me just how nervous you really are.
06:05And that's something I will tell her.
06:20Detective, can I help you?
06:22Yes.
06:22I'm here to see a student.
06:25Fine.
06:25What's this about?
06:26Who's the student?
06:27It's in relation to the murder of Grant Bledko.
06:29The student's male, 16, and he lives with you.
06:32If you want to speak with my son, just say that.
06:35Instead of the game playing you go on with.
06:37I assure you, Miss Austin, this ain't no game.
06:41Xavier's already given his statement.
06:42What could possibly warrant a visit to his school?
06:44Let's just say there are a few inconsistencies we need to sort out.
06:47Now, unless you want to turn this into more of a spectacle.
06:50What's going on?
06:53Xavier, you and I need to have a little chat.
06:55No, not without me there.
06:56That's fine.
06:57The more, the merrier.
06:58Guys, get to class, please.
06:59Go, go, go.
07:00Scoot.
07:02Everything okay?
07:03Yes.
07:04There's a spare classroom here.
07:06We can talk in there.
07:07It's okay, Mum.
07:08You've got a class to teach.
07:20Fib.
07:22From the 16th century word fibble-fable,
07:25which derives from the Latin term fibula,
07:27which translates loosely as tall tale.
07:30Now, hands up anyone here who's been telling a fib.
07:34Constable?
07:37Mr. Austin, I can tell you're itching to raise your hand.
07:39What do you want from me?
07:41Entertainment-wise, absolutely nothing.
07:43You've already given me some great laughs with your fable
07:45about the sleeping beauty and the broken alarm clock.
07:47Well, that isn't a lie.
07:48Dave, of course it is.
07:50I know it.
07:52Charlie knows it.
07:53Ruby definitely knows it.
07:54The question I keep asking myself is,
07:55why is Xavier the only one acting so blind?
07:59See?
08:01There's a dead giveaway right there.
08:03Moving in your chair, the left-to-right motion,
08:05like you wish you could go back to the beginning of a conversation
08:07and start again.
08:14I can tell this wasn't your idea.
08:16Ruby talked you into it, didn't she?
08:17Nobody talked me into anything.
08:19So it was all your idea?
08:20Well, that makes sense.
08:22What was?
08:23The murder, of course.
08:25I think I can guess what happened.
08:26Ruby was terrified for Charlie
08:28because a rapist's father returned to cause havoc,
08:30and you saw this as an opportunity
08:32to impress your girlfriend for life.
08:34Get rid of the bad guy, and suddenly you're the hero.
08:36I told you, I didn't kill anyone.
08:37No, wait, but you needed someone
08:38to help you remove the body from the fish market,
08:41so Ruby took the hands and you the feet.
08:43Or did your big brother Hugo come and do the dirty work for you?
08:46You're making all this up.
08:47I didn't hurt anyone.
08:49All right, go then.
08:55But think about who you're protecting
08:56and ask yourself this, Xavier.
08:58Would you ever put someone you care about
09:00in the same position she's put you in?
09:09He just asked me a few questions, that's all.
09:12Then why won't you tell me what they were?
09:14It was little things,
09:15like the time when we got to the party
09:17and that sort of stuff.
09:18I should have been with you.
09:20He's obviously got you upset.
09:21I want to know what he said.
09:22Can we just drop it, please?
09:24You're all right.
09:25What did he want?
09:26You told them?
09:27Of course.
09:28Why wouldn't I?
09:29It was just a routine follow-up.
09:30It's nothing to worry about.
09:32I'm going back.
09:36Dave?
09:37Sorry, maybe now's not the time
09:39to talk about the campaign.
09:40I can get your feedback later.
09:41No, look, it's fine.
09:42You really should be showing it
09:43to as many people as possible.
09:45How's the preparation coming?
09:46Okay, I think.
09:47Although I wouldn't put it past John Palmer
09:49to pull out one of his dirty tactics again.
09:51I don't think he'd do that.
09:52He seems quite nice.
09:54Excuse me.
09:55Nice?
09:56John Palmer?
09:57Are we talking about the same person here?
09:58Well, maybe nice isn't quite the right word,
10:01but I just haven't come across the ogre
10:03everybody's been talking about.
10:04He always seems very pleasant to me.
10:07Um, I'm going to go talk to Xavier.
10:12Rubes, I really need you to call me back.
10:15I spoke to Robertson and I need to talk to you.
10:19Just call me back.
10:21Xavier!
10:23I don't want to talk about it.
10:25Mate, I'm your brother.
10:26I'm just trying to help out.
10:27It's obvious he's got you riled up.
10:29I just want to know why.
10:33He's come up with this theory that I might have done it.
10:36That I killed the guy.
10:38What?
10:39That's ridiculous.
10:40He seemed pretty serious.
10:44I'm scared, Hugo.
10:46What if I get arrested?
10:47Don't be stupid.
10:49He hasn't got any evidence.
10:50And you've got an alibi.
10:53Don't lie.
10:53Don't you?
10:55Mate, if this story about Charlie isn't true,
10:57you'd better come clean now before this gets any worse.
11:00It is true.
11:03I don't want to go to jail.
11:04You won't.
11:07Maybe it's time I had a little chat with this cop.
11:09No, no, they'll only make things worse.
11:11What do you want me to do?
11:12Stand around while he bullies you?
11:14Look, just let me handle it.
11:15I'll sort this out myself.
11:22I mean, I know Aidan doesn't like the bloke,
11:24but why he should be bothered by what Nicole gets up to is beyond me.
11:27Yeah, but what if?
11:28And I'm not saying that this is right,
11:30but do you think that Aidan has feelings for Nicole?
11:33What?
11:34As in romantic feelings?
11:35It might explain the way he's been acting.
11:37Well, love, it's so close.
11:39Since Bill, no, no, no, I don't think so.
11:44Yeah, no, you're right.
11:45It's way too soon.
11:46I'm sorry.
11:46I'm sure it's not that.
11:48Hey.
11:49Hello.
11:51Something wrong?
11:52No, no, no.
11:53All good.
11:54No, actually, we'd better get going.
11:55I'll talk to you later.
11:55See you.
11:56We've got to go.
11:57Come on.
12:02Colleen, I don't even know what I'm saying.
12:03Don't you worry about that.
12:05The important thing is to look confident.
12:06Make people sit up and take notice.
12:08Try it.
12:11Like, say one thing, straight off the bat.
12:14Testing.
12:15Testing.
12:16One, two, three.
12:16Oh, hang on.
12:17Hang on.
12:24Look, I really don't know why you're ballering.
12:29I can see you're nervous.
12:30So why don't you just pull it out and save yourself the humiliation?
12:34You'd love that, wouldn't you, Palmer?
12:35It would save us both a lot of time.
12:37It's not going to happen.
12:37By the way, I think you might find you're in breach of the conditions of this debate.
12:42What?
12:43Alf Stewart, my grandfather.
12:45He specifically stated that there is to be no promo material used in the surf club.
12:50Because we're related, it could be construed as the bias.
12:54Well, Alf may run the bar, but I am the treasurer of the club and I've cleared up with the
12:59board.
13:00So on the second thoughts, I hope you do come tomorrow.
13:03I'm looking forward to showing you up as the amateur you really are.
13:08Oh, what's the mic for?
13:10Oh, for the debate tomorrow, but I can't get it to work.
13:12That's okay.
13:13I can set it up and do a sound check if you'd like.
13:15Oh, would you?
13:16Yeah, no worries.
13:26Hey, Nick, it's me.
13:28Yeah, I know you're starting, but I think you should take a break and come on down to the surf
13:31club.
13:32No, no, no, trust me.
13:32There's something I think you should see.
13:36Okay, cool.
13:38Oh, hang on, I thought you were fixing the microphone.
13:41Be back in ten minutes, Colleen.
13:49Forget it, it's ridiculous.
13:50We'd barely even fit the horse in.
13:52Sorry to interrupt.
13:55Whatever this is.
13:57Not at all.
13:58What can I do for you?
13:59You can start by leaving my little brother alone.
14:01He had nothing to do with this murder and you know it.
14:03Says the great white hugs are himself.
14:06I'm sorry?
14:08I don't know what your problem with Xavier is, but if he said he saw Charlie sleeping, he saw her
14:12sleeping.
14:13End of story.
14:14Apparently telling Porky's runs in the family.
14:16Or is this article just a beat-up?
14:18You know, I rarely believe what I read, but this is riveting stuff.
14:24I'm not going to be sucked into your mind games.
14:26And believe what you want about me.
14:28Just leave Xavier alone.
14:30He's better off coming clean now rather than doing it in court.
14:34Because I doubt he's as good as you at lying under pressure.
14:37Cop or no cop, you're lucky we're standing in a police station.
14:43Save your brother from a jail term, Hugo.
14:45Do the right thing.
14:46Isn't that what big brothers are supposed to do?
14:48Lead by example?
15:01Ruby, why weren't you at school today?
15:03I really need to speak to you, okay?
15:06Please call me back.
15:09Hi.
15:10Who was that?
15:12Ah, just nobody.
15:14Ruby.
15:16Save, what's the matter?
15:20Nothing.
15:21It's something to do with that Robertson guy, isn't it?
15:25Sweetheart, whatever it is, you need to get it off your chest.
15:28Look at what it's doing to you.
15:31I was only trying to help.
15:33I thought I was doing the right thing, but now I'm the one who's going to pay for it.
15:36Pay for what?
15:37What do you mean?
15:40Xavier, I want you to tell me the truth.
15:44What's going on?
15:49The whole story about Charlie, about me and Ruby seeing her that night, we made it up.
15:56We were trying to protect Charlie, give her an alibi.
15:59You idiot.
16:00I've just been down there having it out with the guy, telling him he couldn't be any more wrong about
16:04you.
16:05And now you're telling me that he's right.
16:07I messed up, okay?
16:09I know.
16:11He's just trying to throw you off, Pitt.
16:13Yeah, well, it's a working collar.
16:15Hey, have you guys seen Liam around?
16:17Yeah, he's a good thing on PA system.
16:20Hey.
16:22Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to do a special sound check for you today.
16:26Harry?
16:30Thank you, my friend.
16:32This is a song about a very special lady who's been helping me out with a few things.
16:38A man loses inspiration for his art
16:42When a girl comes along to reignite his heart
16:47It's a lonely place to be left out from the world
16:51But a light came on when a boy met a girl
16:56There's one thing I want to do for her
17:00It's show her all my love
17:03All my love
17:08All my love
17:11All my love
17:16Liam serenading Nicole
17:17Oh, my love
17:21My baby Nicole
17:22I'll show her my love
17:25My baby Nicole
17:26I'll show her my love
17:29My baby Nicole
17:55What do you mean he was serenading?
17:56Oh, you know, microphone, guitar, some dumb lyrics
17:59You sing her a song, it's no big deal
18:02Right
18:03I thought you'd find it funny, not
18:06Not what?
18:07Well, not make you angry
18:07I mean, it's almost as if
18:09What?
18:10I don't know, it's almost as if you're jealous or something
18:13Jealous of who?
18:14Of Liam
18:15I mean, why else can't you stand seeing her with Nicole?
18:17Just drop it
18:18No, look, Aidan, if you like Nicole
18:19Just shut the hell up, okay?
18:21Don't ever say that again
18:35Put this back in evidence, will you?
18:39I don't suppose you're here to turn yourself in
18:41Of course he isn't
18:42But he does have something he'd like to get off his chest
18:45Don't you?
18:56Here you go, darling
18:57Thanks
18:58How was Aidan the sarvo?
19:00Yeah, alright
19:01Did you talk to him about Nicole?
19:05I can't believe you didn't think I'd do it
19:07Oh, well, you were playing it so cool before
19:09Oh, I was just trying to match you
19:10Because you are the queen of cool
19:12And the princess of sarcastic comments, mind you
19:16Don't blame me, you provide so much material
19:22Do you want anything?
19:23Yeah, you know, chips
19:25Thank you
19:28Hey, you're looking very chirpy, girly
19:31Yeah, can I have some chips, please?
19:35Yep, come on up
19:36Did you see Liam make a title full of himself today?
19:39Mm-hmm
19:39God, I wish Aidan had been there
19:41He would have laughed his head off
19:42Yeah, I don't think Liam Murphy singing is the priority of Aidan's must-see list
19:48I suppose not
19:50No, look, it's no big deal
19:51Aidan will come around
19:52It's just, you know, you can't expect him to love the guy
19:54After everything that happened with Belle
20:01Hey
20:03Is everything alright?
20:05No
20:06Not really
20:10So, David Austin, what's on your mind?
20:14Um
20:15Well, first of all, I want to say that I had nothing to do with the murder of Grant Bledko
20:19I know you didn't
20:23Come on, then the rest
20:25The whole story about us seeing Charlie on the night it happened
20:29Me and Ruby made it up
20:31So neither of you can vouch for Charlie's whereabouts?
20:34No
20:35Well, at least I can't
20:37I have no idea where Charlie or Ruby were
20:39Which means you've no idea whether they were involved in the murder or not, do you?
20:45Nice and loud, Xavier, if you don't mind
20:46No, I don't know where Charlie or Ruby were at the time of the murder
20:49I have no idea
20:53Good boy
21:00Next time on Home and Away
21:01A vote for me is a vote for Summer Bay
21:05Yes, we've all heard from Mr Palmer
21:08Show us your moves
21:09Xavier opened up like a flower in bloom
21:11Very delicate but very precise
21:13How could you betray me like that?
21:15You were using me and I was stupid for trusting you
21:17The truth will come out
21:18It has to
21:19What if it doesn't?
21:20Is there something wrong?
21:21Is Ruby alright?
21:22Something is wrong, yes
21:22In that regard, no, she's not alright
21:24I've got a warrant to search the house
21:25Providing false information to a homicide investigation
21:28I'm afraid you're under arrest
21:30And if you miss an episode of Home and Away
