00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:08Lesser each day
00:11Coming your way
00:20What's going on?
00:21What's wrong with us, sir?
00:22Nothing. He's diabetic, that's all.
00:24What's this kid doing?
00:27Might be...
00:29It's just a joke.
00:30I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of it.
00:32We'll talk about this when we get home, okay?
00:43Look, I just didn't get how good kids like Vijay
00:51suddenly start throwing water bombs at passing cars.
00:54There's going to be more to it.
00:56Yeah, it does seem way out of character.
00:58Kind of like you and Joggy.
01:02Yeah, well, it certainly does get the blood boiling.
01:05You find out you've got muscles in places you never knew existed.
01:08It helps get your mind off things, too.
01:12Yeah, how are you doing anyway, you know, since Kirstie left?
01:15Oh, yeah?
01:17I keep on wanting to pick up the phone to talk to her, but I think better of it.
01:22I know it's only going to make me feel worse.
01:24Besides, everything that she wanted to say to me was in that letter.
01:27What about you?
01:28You didn't get to have your say.
01:30How fair is that?
01:32I mean, don't you feel cheated just getting a letter?
01:34Don't you have questions?
01:38Yeah.
01:39So, what are you going to do?
01:43I'm just going to keep on jogging.
01:48I'm coming!
01:51I'm coming!
01:52Oh, hey, Charles!
01:55Well, nice to see you, too.
02:01How is it possible that Colleen knows about you going to hospital yesterday and I didn't?
02:07It was just a precaution, and Miles was with me, so it didn't really matter.
02:10But if it was just a precaution, then why would you go out of your way to keep it from
02:13me?
02:13I didn't go out of my way, Charlie.
02:15It's just you're in the city all day with Dad.
02:16You couldn't have been there anyway.
02:18And, you know, I don't want to worry you.
02:19Ruby, if you're having a problem with your diabetes, I want to know about it.
02:23It's just a silly mistake.
02:24Okay, I was rushing to get an essay in on time.
02:26I skipped lunch.
02:26Yeah, so you're not eating, probably, which is why I brought these over.
02:29We've got so much food in the carpet.
02:30Geoff is totally all over that.
02:32Yeah, so over it, you ended up in hospital yesterday.
02:34Okay, that's not fair.
02:35No, Ruby, what isn't fair is that you didn't let me know what was going on.
02:39I expect to be kept in the loop.
02:42Okay, I will.
02:43Okay, so no more covert visits to the hospital?
02:46I promise.
02:47Okay.
02:49Good.
02:50Where is Geoff, anyway?
02:51He's out for a run.
02:56Is that his underwear in your bedroom?
03:00Right.
03:01And does Irene know that the two of you are sharing a room?
03:06Well, at least I can make sure you're eating well.
03:08Charlie, Charlie, come on.
03:10Look, I don't need this.
03:12I've just managed to stop Geoff fussing over my every move.
03:14Now, I will keep you informed.
03:16I will.
03:17Okay?
03:18Okay, but you've just got to let me do this by myself.
03:24Okay.
03:31You have heard about DJ water-bombing Miles' car?
03:34Yeah.
03:35I just hope he's learnt his lesson.
03:38You don't think he has?
03:39No.
03:39You know, when I told him off,
03:41he didn't seem the slightest bit remorseful.
03:42He usually argues back or he makes excuses.
03:45There was none of that.
03:46Oh, I don't know what's got into those kids out there.
03:49For some reason, all of a sudden,
03:51the computers seem fascinating.
03:53Oh, well, hopefully they're learning something.
03:55Yeah, well, I wish they wouldn't do it all at once.
03:56They nearly knocked me over as I passed.
03:58And I'm not getting any younger, you know.
04:00Yeah, well, I'll be out in a minute.
04:01Can you take these to table three?
04:02Oh, yeah.
04:05I'd better go myself, actually.
04:07Look, if there's anything I can do to help with BJ...
04:09Thanks.
04:09I'll see you later.
04:11Have fun.
04:11Oh.
04:12Sit down, guys.
04:13Brecky's almost ready.
04:16You need to start the day right, okay?
04:18I've got whole-grain cereal, fruit, an artificial sweetener.
04:20Oh, good.
04:21Now we have two.
04:21Charlie, we have all this stuff.
04:23Okay.
04:24Well, today you don't need to make breakfast for yourself, do you?
04:28Well, this must be fun.
04:29I mean, you only just got me off your back.
04:30Now Charlie's climbed up there.
04:32Unless you mean so,
04:33but she's going to drive me crazy.
04:35Is it safe to leave you here with her?
04:38Look, you don't have to leave yet, do you?
04:39The competition's fierce, babe.
04:42I mean, do you know how many people are out there looking for jobs?
04:44Yeah, but you're not even unemployed yet.
04:46I mean, it's going to be weeks before Irene loses Marina birth.
04:48Yeah, and it could take me weeks to find a job.
04:50I mean, I've only padded my resume.
04:53It's only half page full.
04:55All right, let's eat.
04:57Actually, Charlie, I've got to go.
04:59We're going to job hunting.
05:00Oh, what are you looking for?
05:02Beggars can't be choosers.
05:03Pretty much anything that pays.
05:04Well, you'll find something.
05:06Don't forget to flash them your cute smile and you'll be fine.
05:10Good luck.
05:11Oh, and when you get time,
05:12I want to have a chat to you about doing the right thing by Rube's.
05:19Okay, Charlie,
05:21we're going to eat this delightful breakfast
05:22and then you and I are going down the diner
05:24for some decent coffee and a serious chat.
05:26Okay, and no arguments.
05:30Get it.
05:32Is there concert tickets on sale or something?
05:34I told you they were causing an obstruction.
05:36Oh, yes, that was a traffic jam.
05:38He'd take these and finish the orders and they'd come out.
05:42Your computers are popular today.
05:44Yeah, someone must have found something funny on YouTube.
05:46Now, what can I get you ladies?
05:48A couple of cappuccinos, please.
05:49But no chocolate on Rube's and no sugar in that either.
05:52Oh, right.
05:53This is for your special diet.
05:56Wow, that was an embarrassing one.
05:58Rube, if Colleen's going to be serving you,
06:00it's good that she knows what you can and can't eat.
06:01Yeah, but Charlie, this is exactly what I don't want.
06:03What?
06:04People treat me like I'm some kind of invalid.
06:06It's what Jeff did and now you're doing it.
06:08That's only because we care about you.
06:10Yeah, well, I don't want you to make a fuss over me.
06:13And before you start, I'm not sleeping with Jeff, just so you know.
06:17Okay.
06:18Yes, I had a problem with you sleeping with Xavier,
06:20but they were more about my issues.
06:22I trust you with all of that now.
06:23What I don't feel good about is you being diagnosed with an illness
06:26and I know nothing about what you're going through.
06:28But Charlie, you're worrying about nothing.
06:30I had a hiccup.
06:31I got help.
06:32Rube, you had a massive hypo.
06:33That's not a hiccup.
06:34It was serious enough that you ended up in hospital.
06:36Hypos are part of being a diabetic.
06:38They're going to happen every now and then,
06:39no matter how careful I am.
06:41Okay, how about this?
06:42If I promise to keep you posted,
06:45then you promise just to let me handle things
06:48and stop trying to run my life.
06:51Yeah, okay, deal.
06:52Right, now, what on earth is going on here?
06:56Oh, oh, my giddy-up.
06:58Come on, what's going on?
07:00How did they get onto our old websites?
07:02Who's responsible for this?
07:04I don't believe this is such a big block.
07:06Hey, Tony.
07:07G'day, mate.
07:08Who are you trying to impress?
07:09Oh, no, I've just been doing the rounds, you know, job hunting.
07:12Actually, I was kind of hoping you might have a few shifts going.
07:15Ah, Geoff.
07:16Sorry, mate, memberships are down a bit.
07:17I'm sort of cutting back on casual shifts.
07:19But I'm sure, look, this shirt and tie I've got over on the Abbey Creek, mate.
07:22Ah, yeah, I've been there.
07:23There's no luck.
07:24Ah, never mind.
07:25Oh, look, keep looking, mate.
07:27If I hear anything, I'll let you know.
07:28Yeah, thanks.
07:29All right.
07:37So this is what you get up to when you're not water-bombing people?
07:40I didn't want to do it.
07:41It wasn't even my idea.
07:43What do you mean?
07:44Forget it.
07:46You know, you can always come to me.
07:48I mean, if you ever want to chat or, you know, just get your butt kicked at Caveman Ninja.
07:53I bet you would pull with one hand tied behind my back.
07:55Let's see you try, then.
08:20Are you all right, dude?
08:23And I didn't reset the computer.
08:25Maybe someone hacked in.
08:27Maybe.
08:28Or maybe someone knew where I had the password, which was in my wallet, in my handbag.
08:33I didn't do anything.
08:34See, you're the only one that I could think of that would actually go through my purse.
08:38I didn't.
08:39Do you realise how serious this is?
08:42Okay, did you take the password from my wallet?
08:46Yes.
08:47All right.
08:47I took it.
08:48It was me.
08:50What is wrong with you?
08:52First a water-bomb, now this.
08:53What's going on?
08:55Hello?
09:02What do you mean to have a go at him?
09:05I just got frustrated.
09:06I don't know what's got into him.
09:08Well, maybe he's just curious about that stuff.
09:11Well, I wouldn't know.
09:12You know, I can't get through to him.
09:13Have you talked to him about sex and stuff?
09:18No.
09:19But he's so young.
09:21Isn't it a bit early for him to be curious about that sort of stuff?
09:23I don't know how lots of kids that age are talking about that sort of thing.
09:26Trust me.
09:27I hear it all the time.
09:30Well, could you talk to him?
09:31Yeah.
09:32Oh, come on.
09:34Miles, I just think that that sort of thing is better when it comes from a man.
09:37Please.
09:38It'll mean so much to me.
09:41Thanks.
09:48Hi, Veej.
09:53Hey, Veej.
09:55How you doing?
09:56Okay.
09:58Okay.
10:01You know, you can ask me about anything.
10:04You know that, right?
10:07Like, if you're curious about stuff, you could just...
10:11You could ask me.
10:13Yeah?
10:15The thing is, why were you looking at those adult sites?
10:20Was it because you wanted information?
10:23About sex, I mean?
10:25Yeah, that's gross.
10:26No way I would look at that junk.
10:30Okay.
10:33Rach, hey.
10:34Hey.
10:35Hey.
10:35I was hoping to catch up with you today.
10:37Is Ruby okay?
10:38Well, actually, that's what I was going to ask you.
10:40Having her end up in hospital like that, it really threw me.
10:44Well, it's never good when someone has a hypo.
10:46So you're worried about her too?
10:48I think it's important that she learns to take care of herself and manage her diabetes.
10:52Well, I know she's read all the literature.
10:54Well, that's great.
10:55But as I explained to her, she needs to get herself into a routine.
10:59She's got to check her levels and take her insulin and start listening to what her body's telling her.
11:04Look, I think she learned a lot from yesterday's experience.
11:07Well, I hope so.
11:08I just wish she wasn't so fiercely independent.
11:11Well, it can be a good thing.
11:12She's the one who needs to be responsible for her diabetic care.
11:15And look, it helps to have strong people around her that support her.
11:19And she definitely has that.
11:24What are you doing here?
11:26I thought I told you to stay out of my way.
11:27Get it down, dude.
11:28I'm not scared of his mum.
11:30Yeah?
11:30What about me?
11:31You scared of me?
11:32Because I'd be scared of her with you.
11:33Get lost, now.
11:35Oh, hey.
11:37Hey, VJ.
11:39What happened?
11:41He was being bullied by some older boys.
11:43What?
11:43They won't bully me.
11:45Right, so they were your friends, weren't they?
11:47Hey, okay, come on.
11:48Where'd you get these bruises from?
11:50Did your friends do these too?
11:52Oh, the poor little lord.
11:53Hey, I want the truth.
11:55No more lying.
11:57I'm waiting.
11:58They made me throw the water bombs
12:00and unlocked the security bar on the computers.
12:03They said if I didn't, they'd bash me.
12:05Oh, VJ.
12:07Hey, what didn't you tell me?
12:09We'll be putting this up to this page, don't worry.
12:11No, just don't do anything.
12:13It'll just make things worse.
12:14Hey, we can't ignore this.
12:16What are the boys' names?
12:19Hey.
12:21Well, Tony didn't have any work going
12:23and somehow mustering sheep and fixing fences
12:26just didn't cut any Abbey Creek.
12:27Oh, and I suppose your experience on the trolley
12:29didn't help either.
12:31We only just started looking.
12:33You'll find something.
12:34Oh, so I had a go with Charlie this morning.
12:37Yeah, we had a good chat at the diner.
12:39Hopefully that did the trick and she'll back off.
12:43Hey.
12:44Oh, my gosh.
12:45Hey, Jeff.
12:46Hey.
12:49I ran into Rachel earlier on the beach today.
12:51Ah, how convenient.
12:52So I guess you checked up on Mia?
12:54Well, yes, we talked about you.
12:56And she was saying that this is a really important time for you.
12:58Charlie, I really need you to back off, OK?
13:01Actually, I've given this situation a lot of thought
13:03and I think you should move home.
13:06That way I can keep an eye on you
13:07at least while you get the hang of your new routines and things.
13:09No, no way.
13:10I can totally look after myself.
13:12Yeah, and I'm here too, you know, if she needs anything.
13:14No offence, Jeff, but you've been a boyfriend for, what, a few weeks?
13:17OK, you're not in a position to know what's best for her.
13:19OK, that is so unbelievably rude.
13:21Why can't you just get the message, Charlie?
13:23I need to do this by myself, so can you please just butt out?
13:29Hey.
13:30How are my two favourite people?
13:31He's asleep.
13:32We've had a really nice day so far.
13:35Good news.
13:35Have you got time to stay for a drink?
13:37Actually, I might head home.
13:38But I wanted to tell you, I tried to pay the credit card bill earlier
13:41but there was no money in the savings account.
13:43Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:44I borrowed some money from it to pay the business wages
13:46so I meant to put it back or slip my mind.
13:48Sorry, I should have mentioned that.
13:49Oh, so is there a reason there was no money in the business account?
13:52Ah, no, I just had to juggle a few things around
13:54and make it all work, that's all.
13:55As soon as it sorts itself out, I'll pay the credit card bill myself.
13:59So the business is all right then?
14:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:01A bit slower than usual.
14:02Things are a bit tight with the economy and everything
14:04but it's OK.
14:06OK.
14:14Riley, bullying.
14:16I don't think so.
14:17That kid's too much of a sook for that.
14:19Well, Vijay, my son, admitted that it was Riley and some of his mates.
14:23Oh, well, then it must be true
14:24because kids never lie, do they?
14:25He's got bruises on his legs.
14:28So he got into a fight.
14:30Oh, that's kids for you.
14:31I wouldn't have known myself if I didn't have bruises at his age.
14:33Ian, I think it's a bit more than just general roughhousing.
14:36Vijay's actually really scared of Riley.
14:38And toughen him up.
14:39Now, if he can't handle their old bump now and again,
14:41how's he going to get along in the real world?
14:43It's doggy dog out there.
14:44I should know, I'm out of a job in a few weeks.
14:46Riley's three years older than Vijay
14:48and he's a lot bigger too.
14:49It's a boy in year six bullying a boy in year four.
14:51I think there's a bit of a difference.
14:53Well, then do the kid a favour.
14:54Send him to karate lessons.
14:56We'll teach him to box.
14:57I don't think that's entirely the answer here, Ian.
14:59Listen, mate.
15:01I raised my kid to stand up for himself.
15:03Now, you do whatever you want with yours,
15:04but don't come whinging to me
15:05if he can't take a bit of rough and tumble.
15:08Vijay isn't my son.
15:09Then what are you even doing here?
15:13All right.
15:14Look, you've both said your piece.
15:15Now you can clear off.
15:23Well, at least now it's clear where Riley gets it from.
15:25I don't know what chance does a boy have
15:27with a father like that.
15:29Well, I guess the next step is to talk to his teachers.
15:32If they punish Riley at school,
15:34the message might sink in.
15:35Well, the school would have a program for bullying, surely.
15:38It is hard to pin your faith on the teachers, though,
15:40since they didn't even pick up that it was going on.
15:42It's so unfair that people think
15:44they can just walk all over you.
15:52Hey.
15:52Sorry to keep you waiting.
15:54Hey, listen, I can't stay very long.
15:55I've got a client coming in pretty shortly.
15:57Yeah, I know how hard you've been working,
15:59which is why I was surprised
16:01that when I went through your accounts
16:02to see that you haven't paid yourself in over a month.
16:06Tony, what's going on?
16:07Uh, yeah, sorry.
16:09I probably should have told you sooner.
16:11I just wanted you to worry.
16:12About the business?
16:14Yeah, it's not actually doing that well right now.
16:17Membership's down and people aren't renewing.
16:19I've been juggling things around.
16:20I was hoping the books would have balanced by now.
16:22But they haven't.
16:25Tony, you should have told me.
16:26I don't need to be shielded from bad news.
16:28We're a team.
16:30We need to deal with these things together.
16:32Yeah, you're right.
16:34I'm sorry.
16:34I just, I don't know, I just didn't see a way out.
16:39Well, um, I can take on some extra shifts at the hospital
16:42until things settle down
16:43and we can get Colleen or Martha to look after Harry for us.
16:47Well, that's hardly ideal.
16:49Well, maybe not.
16:51But, Tony, we're lucky we even have that option.
16:53There's a lot of people out there doing it tougher than us.
16:57I've been through worse things than this.
16:59Yeah, which is why I didn't want to load you up with financial worries.
17:03And I appreciate that.
17:05But no more hiding, all right?
17:06We need to be open with each other.
17:15Get him.
17:16Oi.
17:17You go.
17:19What are you doing?
17:24You know me, Jay Patterson, right?
17:26Yeah.
17:27What's it to you?
17:28Well, he won't be doing any more of your dirty work for you.
17:31No more water bomb silliness.
17:33No more computer codes.
17:34No nothing.
17:36Exactly.
17:37Oh, I'm so scared.
17:39Oh, good.
17:41Look, I know things are tough for you at home.
17:43I know your dad lost his job and they must make things first.
17:46Your dad lost his job again.
17:48Loser.
17:49Thanks, Freak.
17:50You don't have to make an announcement.
17:51I'm sorry about that, but just stay clear of Vijay.
17:56Carry on.
18:01So you really think this is going to help Vijay?
18:03Well, let's put it this way.
18:04I don't think Riley will be hassling Vijay any time soon.
18:07You should still call the school, though, thinking about the bullying.
18:10Hopefully this will be the end of it.
18:11Hey, Vijay.
18:12Riley knows not to come near you anymore.
18:14We've got a second practice now, Mum?
18:16No, you're okay.
18:17Hey, wait outside.
18:18I'll grab my things.
18:20Well, he seems a little happier.
18:23So if Riley does back off, I'm pretty sure he will.
18:26You know what kids are like.
18:28I have a fair idea.
18:30I just think when a guy's up for a fight,
18:32he doesn't normally back off just because he's had a lecture.
18:38I was watching this guy at the Sky Park in the rocket's gun.
18:42You shouldn't open your mouth, Squirt.
18:44Did you really think it was all going to end
18:46because you got a teacher to hassle us?
18:49Anyway, you're gone.
18:50You're in your teacher freak.
18:56Vijay, you ready to go to cycle practice?
18:59Come on, get in the car.
19:11Mesdames, messieurs, let the game commence.
19:15You always play for such...
19:16What did you do that for?
19:18We're getting up to the good bit.
19:19I just want to say how good this is.
19:22You and me, chillin'.
19:24Charlie hassling us.
19:26Then I guess Irene gets back soon
19:28and then everything changes again.
19:31So what you're saying is that while we can,
19:33we should spend more time being romantic
19:35instead of just watching romantic movies.
19:39Only me.
19:44Uh, Charlie, what's with the bags?
19:46Well, I figured if you're not going to come home,
19:48then I'm coming here to stay with you.
19:49I've already spoken to Irene
19:51and she said I can stay in her room
19:52at least until next week when she gets back.
19:54Listen, we both agree that diabetes is a serious condition
19:58and neither of you are emotionally equipped
19:59to handle it alone.
20:00But how is it okay for you to just burst into my life
20:02and start making these kind of decisions?
20:04It's okay because I'm your mother
20:06and I'm worried about you.
20:09Yeah, well, I liked you better when you were my sister.
20:14Right, well, so much for our alone time together.
20:24Hey, listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you
20:27about that business before, you know.
20:29I just didn't think you needed to stress.
20:31Hey, we're in this together, remember?
20:33For better or for worse.
20:34Yeah, that's good.
20:37Hey.
20:38You've had a good day, haven't you?
20:40Any waves out there, mate?
21:08Next week on Home and Away.
21:09Hey, you took a man's life.
21:13I didn't kill Lou.
21:14Donna had the opportunity, the means
21:15and the motive to kill her husband.
21:17Good luck proving otherwise.
21:18Whoa!
21:19He's tagging off!
21:20What's going on?
21:21Run, get in the house.
21:22Hugo!
21:23You're scaring him!
21:24I think we're being watched.
21:25What are you doing?
21:26You look at my face.
21:27You look at my face.
21:28Now you tell me that this is nothing.
21:29Here's the one who assaulted my son.
21:31Calm down, Ian.
21:32I'm going to have to ask you to come down to the station
21:34so I can formally charge you with assault.
21:35There won't be a parent in town that will let me near that kid.
