00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want you to stay forever
00:08Look for each day
00:12Come and away
00:17I'm not in this relationship just for sex.
00:19When it happens, great.
00:22But I can wait.
00:25Are you seriously telling me that a bunch of 12-year-olds beat me up?
00:29He was too scared to tell you. I'm so sorry, Miles.
00:32You bashed Riley, you saw the dollar signs
00:35and you thought you'd use me as a way to get out of it.
00:38You are a lowlife.
00:45Okay, let me get this straight.
00:47Ian didn't actually come out and say that he caused Riley's injuries.
00:50Charlie, the look on his face when I accused him,
00:52the fact that he wanted to blackmail me, I think he did it.
00:54Okay, I'll get on to Doc's.
00:56Good.
00:57But after the conversation I had with Riley the other day,
01:00I doubt he's ready to speak up against his dad.
01:02You can't leave him there with Ian. What if he hits him again?
01:04Docs will look into it.
01:06But without any physical evidence or Riley coming forward,
01:08I can't judge him with the assault or the blackmail attempt.
01:11It's going to come down to your word against his.
01:15Can I ask you something?
01:16Yes, what?
01:18When Ian started pressing you, why didn't you come to me for help?
01:22Well, there was very little you could have done to protect me.
01:25So you were going to pay him off to keep him quiet?
01:26I was tempted.
01:29You know what?
01:31I'm really tired.
01:34Charlie, I just want this whole thing to end.
01:37Miles, I don't want you giving up hope, okay?
01:40I might not be able to charge him with blackmail,
01:42but that doesn't mean I can't use it as leverage.
01:44Meaning what?
01:46Meaning I'll do whatever it takes to get you off the assault charges
01:48and to keep Riley safe.
01:57I've had plenty of hospitality experience.
01:59I worked at the diner off and on for one or two years.
02:02My references are good.
02:04Yeah, I won't let you down.
02:06Yeah, well, there's a lot of people looking for work.
02:08Well, I thought the purpose of this meeting
02:10was because there was a job lined up.
02:13There is.
02:14But I need you to do something for me first.
02:17Sure. What is it?
02:18I don't like this.
02:20But Katie insisted.
02:22I already lost control of my oldest daughter.
02:25Katie?
02:26I believe you know her.
02:27Katie Merrin.
02:29Reg didn't muck around.
02:31She said if I want shifts at the sands,
02:33I have to take his daughter to the formal.
02:35Apparently she asked me personally that,
02:37but I don't remember Katie Merrin.
02:40So you do.
02:41She's Bobby's sister.
02:43Killer Katie Merrin.
02:45You remember Killer, don't you?
02:47Wait, wait.
02:48This isn't that chick that stalks the guy she's interested in?
02:51Mm-hmm.
02:53See, I knew there was something going on.
02:55Dad's been begging guys to take it in.
02:58Katie gets very intense when it comes to guys.
03:00I can only imagine I have met her sister.
03:07You're in on this, aren't you?
03:08You put her up for it, hey?
03:09No!
03:10Well, why me then?
03:11I left school last year.
03:14Katie obviously has a very good memory,
03:15and Daddy probably figured she'd be safe with someone he could sack.
03:20You could always pull out.
03:21No, I can't pull out because I need a job.
03:25Please, Nick, please tell me you're going to the formal.
03:28You will be fine.
03:29What, you're seriously passing up a chance to put on a hot dress
03:32and look better than everybody else?
03:33Yeah, I know it's crazy, but I'm sure they'll all have fun without me.
03:39All right, well, I'm going to get the sack.
03:41I'll see you in the morning.
03:42Night.
03:42See you, mate.
03:51What do you think you're doing?
03:53What do you think?
03:55Ah, babe, I'm just going to get an early night.
03:58Well, I was thinking I might stay the night.
04:00Aren't you going to go home and look after Miles?
04:02It's one night.
04:03I don't mind you staying the night.
04:05It's just I really am going to crash, okay?
04:09Is this about us not sleeping together?
04:11Because you have been distant ever since we talked about it.
04:14Nick, you know that I'm stressed about getting these lessons going, okay?
04:17And I heard what you said the other week.
04:20You let me know when you're ready, okay?
04:22Good night.
04:37This isn't journalism, this is an attack on Miles.
04:40And I can't believe that Gerry has dragged up Trey Palmer's assault allegation.
04:44Well, everyone knows that Trey was lying.
04:47Yeah, well, it's not common knowledge and there's nothing in here that says that.
04:50I mean, how can you write an article with only one side of the story?
04:53There's not a single quote from Miles.
04:55Well, there are people who believe everything they read.
04:57Of course, I'm not one of them, but if you throw enough mud...
05:01Can I have a coffee, please, Colleen?
05:03Hey, um, have you read this?
05:05Mm, Gerry called me last night.
05:07Well, if he spoke to you, why has he not quoted you?
05:09Well, he asked for a comment, but I thought, what's the point in saying him to twist it against me?
05:13Have you seen this?
05:14I was about to give you a call.
05:19Can you make that takeaway, Colleen?
05:20I'm not in the mood for an audience right now.
05:24The usual, thanks.
05:27If I'd stood up to Rye, none of this would have happened.
05:30Hey, this is not your fault, okay?
05:46Whirly!
05:48Hey, it's the snitch, what's the matter?
05:51Mum can walk you to school.
05:53Can we talk?
05:55I'll catch up with you.
05:57What do you want?
05:58If you don't stop lying about Mr Copeland, you're the one who's going to be in big trouble.
06:01Who says I'm lying?
06:03He wouldn't hit you. I know he wouldn't do that.
06:05Whatever.
06:05The police are going to work it out.
06:07They're going to chuck you out of school.
06:08Big deal.
06:28Morning.
06:30You're pushing it, you know.
06:31So, what are you going to do today?
06:34Nothing much.
06:35Pretty much on holiday, so I start working at the stands.
06:37Well, you could always go to the gym.
06:39I bet Katie's into Kazza worked out.
06:40Well, you know, these are pretty tough times.
06:43I'll do whatever it takes.
06:44Everything that means being some chick's handbag.
06:46Well, if I don't get the marks to get into my clothes, I'll be out there with you looking
06:50for a job.
06:51You'll be fine, Nick.
06:52Alright?
06:52You've worked hard for your HSC.
06:54Which is exactly why you should be going in the formal.
06:56You know, it's really not that big a deal.
06:58Why?
06:58Because Liam doesn't want to go?
07:01Like, this is your night.
07:02You should be out celebrating with your friends.
07:04It's probably the last time you're going to be able to do that.
07:09Yeah?
07:11Yeah.
07:13Alright.
07:13I'm going to go kill her.
07:14You can have all them.
07:20Hey, I was thinking that we could go to the diner and get a proper coffee.
07:23Ah, baby, I can't afford a lesson in reef and legs, okay?
07:26Well, then how about we do lunch?
07:27Nick, I told you I've got a really busy day.
07:30Look, I will make it up to you when everything cools out, okay?
07:34Really?
07:35Because, you know, I was thinking maybe we should go to the formal.
07:39It could be kind of fun.
07:40You do whatever you want.
07:41No, let me stop you.
07:42I'm hoping that you'd come with me.
07:44Don't subject myself to a holiday screaming teenagers.
07:47Baby, I don't think so.
07:49Have a good day.
07:55Yeah, I got it.
08:04My bag got on.
08:06I forgot your phone was inside.
08:08I'm sorry, I tried to fix it.
08:10Save the excuses, I don't want to hear it.
08:13I'm sorry, Dad.
08:15No, Riley, you've blown it.
08:16End of story.
08:17Sorry.
08:18You just think I've made of money.
08:20Wait, you just trash my phone and I can get a new one?
08:21Sorry.
08:24I'll deal with you at home.
08:32It turns out you're right all along.
08:34And the cops know about this?
08:36Yeah, Charlie's under it.
08:37She said it's going to be pretty hard to prove.
08:42Hey.
08:43Sorry, can we come in?
08:44Yeah.
08:44He's got something to tell you.
08:46Right.
08:47That was not good.
08:49Come on.
08:49It's okay.
08:50You're doing the right thing.
08:51You just tell Miles what you told me, alright?
08:53I saw Riley and his dad down at the surf club before.
08:56His dad was really mad at him.
08:58Riley was crying and stuff.
09:00And he looked kind of scared.
09:09I called the school this morning, but Riley didn't turn up for class.
09:12Which explains why dogs haven't managed to speak to him yet.
09:15They haven't made contact with Dan, right?
09:17No, he's not returning their calls.
09:19Or mine, but no surprises there.
09:28Riley, hey.
09:31Is your dad home?
09:33I've been sick.
09:34That's why I haven't been at school.
09:35No, that's okay.
09:36We just wanted to talk to your dad about something.
09:38Sorry, he's not here.
09:41Riley, can you tell me about that bruise on your cheek?
09:43What happened?
09:49Look, maybe we could come inside and talk.
09:51Try and figure some things out.
09:52How does that sound?
10:01Hey.
10:03Hey.
10:04Just got off the phone with a killer.
10:06That was fun.
10:07What the hell's up with that family, seriously?
10:10It's only one night.
10:12Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.
10:13As long as I don't get on a bunny boy on the side.
10:19Nick.
10:19Nick, what's up?
10:21Is there something going on with you and Liam?
10:23Because I've noticed a little bit of tension lately.
10:26I'm fine.
10:28He's just not into the whole formal thing.
10:30Yeah, which is fair enough.
10:32I mean, if I was in my 20s, it's the last place I'd want to be.
10:34Yeah, but just because he's not going, that shouldn't be stopping you.
10:38It wouldn't feel right.
10:39Well, you're not going is not right either.
10:42Thanks, but I know you just want me to protect you from killer Katie.
10:46I'm going to move you to sleep later.
10:48Alright.
10:51I get the feeling maybe things aren't so easy for you here at home sometimes.
10:55Is that right?
10:56It's okay.
10:58Dad looks after me.
10:59It's just, if anything's happening, maybe something doesn't feel okay.
11:05Well, we're here to help.
11:07You can't fix anything.
11:08No one can.
11:10Look, Riley, that's not true.
11:12What are you doing here anyway?
11:13Well, we're trying to find out why a smart kid like you wants to hurt people.
11:19Look, I know that you're scared.
11:22And that you're angry.
11:23And you probably have a very good reason to be.
11:26You don't know anything about me.
11:29Riley, you're not alone here.
11:31Okay?
11:32If you want things to change, all you need to do is speak up.
11:43My dad...
11:46He gets mad at me.
11:48Yeah.
11:51I do things.
11:52I...
11:53I mess things up.
11:56He doesn't mean to hurt me.
11:59Is it your dad who hurt you?
12:00Not Miles?
12:04Yeah.
12:08Hey, what's going on here?
12:09Mr Radcliffe, I'm going to ask you to accompany me down to the station.
12:12What did you say to the cops, mate?
12:13I didn't say anything.
12:14They just rocked up.
12:15I didn't want to let them in.
12:16Can you take Riley outside, please?
12:17Okay.
12:24Oh, coming around here scaring my kid.
12:26You've got some explaining to do.
12:27I'm not the one with anything to explain.
12:29You know, you might find ways to convince yourself that it's okay to assault your child, but I'm here to
12:34tell you that it ends right now.
12:35Hey, what the hell are you on about?
12:37Hey, Riley said that.
12:38He's lying.
12:38Okay, well, we can talk about it down at the station.
12:41For the moment, all you need to know is that the charges against Miles are being dropped.
12:44Oh, you put her up to this right.
12:46No, this is a police matter, pure and simple.
12:49I'll be taking Riley to the hospital for a check-up, but I can't see Doc's bringing him home after
12:53that.
12:53Hey, you think I don't know my rights?
12:55I'm not letting anyone take my kid away from me.
12:57What do you mean your rights?
12:58Your kid is terrified of you.
13:00You should be ashamed of yourself.
13:01Hey, this isn't over.
13:02I'll make sure you go down for what you did.
13:04No, that's enough. Let's go.
13:05Come on.
13:07Move it.
13:15There's no way Ian is going to drop this.
13:17He's going to fight tooth and nail to get Riley back.
13:19Well, I hope that doesn't happen, but it's out of your hands now.
13:22Be grateful that it's over, you've been cleared, and Vijay probably won't have to transfer schools.
13:28Yeah, I hope the police are going to charge Riley with assaulting you.
13:31I just hope the matter's dropped.
13:32Yeah, look, I'm all for turning the other cheek, but that boy's old enough to know what he was doing
13:36when he hurt you.
13:37Colin, he was led by example. It was the only way he knew.
13:40Now, you can't blame the kid for that, can you?
13:44It's been a big day. I'm sorry.
13:47It's all right. I understand.
13:50You going to talk to Gina about getting your job back?
13:52Yep. I can't see her now.
13:56I'm just glad this whole sordid business is over with.
13:59At least now he can start putting his life back together.
14:03Hmm.
14:06Hey, Gina. Can I have a talk to you?
14:09Oh, can you just give me a minute? I've got to lock up the science lab.
14:11Well, look, the e-book's back from the printer. Take a look while you're waiting.
14:43MRS.
14:59Come on.
15:25Come on.
15:28Hey.
15:29Yeah, we're knickers.
15:31Yeah, she's over at Ruby's.
15:35So, what's the go if you're not taking her to the formal?
15:38Oh, she said something.
15:40Oh, just that she's doing everything in her power to make you happy.
15:43Probably learn a thing from her.
15:44Thanks, mate. I'll remember that.
15:47You know, she's had a pretty tough year.
15:49Can't you just suck it up for one night?
15:51It's just that I get the feeling she's not very happy.
15:55Thanks for your little overview,
15:56but maybe, just maybe, you don't know everything about our relationship.
15:59Well, I know enough to know that you're not treating her, right?
16:01And it's absolutely none of your business.
16:04Well, as long as you know that if you hurt her, mate,
16:07you and I will have a little chat.
16:08How does that sound?
16:09Is that right?
16:10Yeah, that's right.
16:26Ah, Romeo's meeting Xavier at the surf club,
16:29so it's just you and me for dinner.
16:30I'm not hungry.
16:32Oh, come on.
16:33You've got to eat something.
16:35No thinking, Leah.
16:37She cares about you.
16:38Give her a break, eh?
16:40Yeah, I know.
16:42We're both worried, that's all.
16:43Alf, I'm fine.
16:45I can't take care of Riley's problems,
16:47I can't take care of my own problems,
16:48but I'm just dandy.
16:50What's happening with your job?
16:52I didn't manage to speak to Gina.
16:54I'll talk to her tomorrow.
16:57I'm going to call her tonight.
17:04Miles, I was just on my way home.
17:05I thought I'd drop in and see how you're going.
17:08Gina, I'm so sorry about today.
17:10I mean, what I did was completely not cool.
17:11It's OK.
17:12You don't need to explain.
17:14But given what you've been through,
17:16maybe it's a good idea if you take some stress leave.
17:19Yeah, I'm fine to see the year out.
17:20It's just a few more weeks.
17:22Miles, if you don't take the leave,
17:24I'll be forced to tell the department what I witnessed today.
17:27Gina, it's not going to happen again.
17:29You've been under enormous stress,
17:31and this incident with Riley Radcliffe
17:33was obviously the final straw.
17:36This is in your best interests.
17:38And the students.
17:41This way, you can take the time that you need
17:43to get sorted out and start next year fresh.
17:52Hi.
17:53Hey.
17:53I hope you're hungry.
17:54I've got to eat dinner.
17:55It's cool.
17:55You didn't have to.
17:57So how was your day?
18:00Uh, fine.
18:01But can you do me a favour
18:02and stop talking to Aidan about our private life?
18:04OK?
18:05It's kind of interfering.
18:07How?
18:11Well, he keeps on leaning on me to take you to the formal.
18:13He seems to think you're really upset that you're not going.
18:16OK, give me a little credit.
18:17If I wanted to go to the formal,
18:19I wouldn't get Aidan to do talking for me.
18:21OK.
18:22Sorry.
18:24You know what?
18:25I don't even think this is about the formal.
18:29It's about sex, right?
18:31You can't handle the fact that I'm not ready.
18:37OK, fine.
18:37I admit it.
18:38Right?
18:39I'm only human.
18:40It's great.
18:40The truth's finally out there.
18:41Well, it's not that easy on me.
18:43Well, I don't know, Liam.
18:45But you've been doing a pretty good job at ignoring me all week
18:47and it feels really great.
18:49Nick.
18:50Hey, hey, hey.
18:50Look, you've got your boundaries and I've got mine.
18:52But what do you expect when you're lying in my bed night after night
18:56when nothing's going to happen?
18:57So what?
18:58If I don't put out, you're not interested?
19:00No, it's...
19:02I just think we're in a different place, this relationship.
19:05OK, maybe it's the age thing.
19:07Sorry, I didn't realise what a downer the whole thing's been.
19:11It's not that.
19:13It's...
19:18Nice one, Rockstar.
19:23You know, I have been up front with him from the start.
19:26I didn't hold anything back.
19:28You know, it's just that when we finally sleep together,
19:30I actually wanted it to mean something.
19:33You know, why is that so wrong?
19:35You know, and what I hate the most is that he has been lying to me all along.
19:39You know, he said he was fine with it
19:41and now he's making out like it's some kind of power thing,
19:44like I'm trying to hold it against him.
19:46You know, how is that fair on me?
19:48Nick, wait.
19:50Are you done?
19:54Come here.
19:56It's OK.
20:13Nick, I'm...
20:14I'm really sorry.
20:15I need to talk.
20:21I don't know what is going on in your head,
20:25but I'm not changing my mind about sleeping with you
20:27just because you're pressuring me.
20:29It's not going to work.
20:30I'm just going to dig my heels in even deeper.
20:32Look, I get that, OK?
20:34And if you don't want to do this,
20:35if you don't want to be with me,
20:36then please don't drag it out.
20:38Nick, you don't understand how I feel.
20:42I've been struggling with this for a very long time.
20:46It's pretty clear.
20:49Nick, I'm in love with you.
20:57Next time on Home and Away.
21:00You go.
21:01Salamat siang.
21:01Get in.
21:02I can't help wondering if Martha knows you like I do.
21:05Hey, I saw you today.
21:06And if she did, well,
21:08she might think twice about your arrangement.
21:09It's so hard to believe
21:11that someone could actually be in love with me.
21:13I didn't say that.
21:13You know Nick's got a formal tonight.
21:15I am sick to death of you involving yourself
21:17in my and Nick's relationship.
21:18And I'm sick of you acting like a tool
21:20where Nick's concerned.
21:22You look amazing.
21:23Yeah, she does, doesn't she?
21:24I can't believe I was going to let myself miss out on this.
