00:00Her boyfriend was given the promotion over her.
00:04Will it come between them?
00:06Next, on Seven's Home and Away.
00:11Previously, on Home and Away.
00:13Mrs. Stewart, don't...
00:14Ruby, don't...
00:16Oh, shit!
00:18Right till you don't care about Summer Bay anymore.
00:21I don't know Summer Bay anymore.
00:23Not the way I thought I did.
00:25So, I've just got to get out of the road.
00:27That's all there is to it.
00:29Congratulations, leading Constable Buckton.
00:32Thank you, sir.
00:33You're jumping me straight to Sergeant.
00:34Looks like you've got a new bus to break in.
00:43Congratulations.
00:44Yeah, you too.
00:46Look, I can understand if this was a bit of a shock.
00:48It was for me too.
00:49No, no, no.
00:50I was just thinking how wonderful it is
00:52to see how much everyone's changed in a year.
00:54Everyone loves you now.
00:57Oh, well, it is Watson's day off.
00:58I can always count on her to pull me into line.
01:00True.
01:02So, tonight calls for a celebration.
01:04A double celebration?
01:06No, we don't need to celebrate mine.
01:08Are you kidding?
01:09Leading Senior Constable is a big thing.
01:11Thanks, but no.
01:12Tonight should be all about you.
01:14That's crazy.
01:14We are celebrating both.
01:16Oh, is that an order, boss?
01:18Okay, how long do I have to put up with that for?
01:19How long have you got?
01:22Anyway, I'd better get started.
01:23I've got heaps to catch up on.
01:30Grandad loves a surf club.
01:32Can't believe you'd just walk away from it.
01:34I can.
01:35You saw how he was on TV.
01:37But I don't think it's just the riots.
01:39It's also what happened with Hugo.
01:42I think Alf just needs some time out
01:44and for people to leave him alone.
01:50Hey, do you know how Charlie's going?
01:52I think she got back from the resort yesterday.
01:54Do you know if she's working today?
01:56Why do you ask?
01:58Uh, no reason.
01:59I'm going to go to the gym.
02:00I'll see you guys later.
02:06How's Aidan handling the bait shop?
02:08I haven't had any complaints from customers so far.
02:11It's only been a day.
02:13Give it time.
02:15Hmm.
02:16No, it's a shame.
02:17It's only a one-man setup.
02:19Otherwise, I might have been able to fling a bit of work your way.
02:21Ah, thanks, but I think I can live without being cooped up
02:24with Aidan inside a shop.
02:26Trawler was bad enough.
02:31It's Ruby.
02:32She was asking how my shoulder is for the third time today.
02:35Still attached.
02:37No, she's just worried about you.
02:39Yeah, I know, but there's a lot of people far worse off than me.
02:42Have you heard about Hazel?
02:43You're still in intensive care.
02:46And what about Leah?
02:48I've phoned her a few times, but she seemed to be keeping to herself.
02:52Makes me sick every time I think of those flamant, drunken mongrels.
02:56Like to bang their heads together, the lot of them.
02:59No, I don't think that'd help.
03:00Maybe not, but it'd make me feel a hell of a lot better.
03:06Aren't you upset about what happened?
03:08I just want to forget everything that happened and move on.
03:13So I was thinking maybe we can start our celebrations with a lunch today,
03:17just you and me.
03:18Well, it sounds lovely.
03:19I'm not really that hungry, though.
03:20Okay, we can get a juice from the surf club, then.
03:23Yeah, all right.
03:24We'll have to drink them quickly, though.
03:26I've got heaps to catch up on.
03:28At least not when we stuck back with all this mess tonight,
03:29when we should be out celebrating your promotion.
03:32Our promotion?
03:33Sorry, boss.
03:35Okay, enough of the boss, then.
03:36Okay, I'm sorry.
03:37It just slipped out.
03:39Oh, thanks for coming in, guys.
03:40No problem.
03:42How was your trip?
03:43Good.
03:44A little quieter than what happened back here, by the sounds of things.
03:47Mm.
03:48Listen, I just wanted to thank you both for what you did.
03:51I know Angela's going to be covering the official stuff,
03:53but, yeah, I just wanted to say thanks, especially to you, Jeff.
03:57Ruby told me that you were injured protecting her.
03:59There's nothing.
04:01How's your shoulder feeling now?
04:03Yeah, it's fine.
04:04Okay, just come straight through.
04:07We've obtained photographs of some people who might be among the rioters.
04:10These are the ones that most closely match the descriptions
04:13given to us by you and John Palmer.
04:1520 of them look familiar.
04:17Well, it all happened pretty quick,
04:19and we were focusing on trying to get help to the people that needed it.
04:23It's okay.
04:24Take your time.
04:25I'm pretty sure that bloke was there,
04:27but I don't know if he actually did anything.
04:31You recognise anyone, Jeff?
04:33No, no one.
04:35Can we go now?
04:37Sure.
04:38Thanks for coming in.
04:41He still seems pretty rattled.
04:43Well, it wasn't exactly the greatest night of our lives.
04:46How about you?
04:47How are you holding up?
04:49A bit right after a good holiday.
04:51We should check out the resort that Charlie and I stayed in.
04:53Did both of us the world a good?
04:55Thanks.
04:56But I think I'm going to need a lot more than a week away from this joint.
05:10Well, I thought you said you weren't upset about what happened at the diner.
05:14No.
05:16Well, you got a very good impression of an angry young man at the police station earlier,
05:20and you've barely said a word since.
05:23I'm not angry, Mr. Stewart.
05:25I'm just tired.
05:26That's all.
05:27Fair enough.
05:29Well, uh, take it easy, eh?
05:32You too.
05:40Hey.
05:42How you going?
05:45Fine.
05:47How's the shoulder?
05:50I'm getting sick of everyone asking me this.
05:51Okay, you want to know, Xavier?
05:52It hurts.
05:53All right?
05:53It hurts all the time, but I'll live.
05:55End of story.
06:13I shouldn't have went off at you.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15That's cool.
06:17No, it's not.
06:17It's...
06:19It's just a burn.
06:21It's nothing compared to what your family's going through.
06:24Dude, a major burn isn't nothing.
06:27And as for my family,
06:30I feel like I should be apologizing to you.
06:34What?
06:35Well, if it wasn't for Hugo smuggling those people into the bay in the first place,
06:39then they wouldn't have got sick,
06:41and the media wouldn't have gone on the way they did.
06:43And the drunks wouldn't have rioted.
06:46What happened to you was caused by my brother.
06:49That doesn't make any sense.
06:51Those drunk guys were just looking to kick hands.
06:53One excuse is as good as any.
06:55I don't know about that.
06:56Trust me, I was there.
06:59So, seriously, how much does it hurt?
07:05Feels like there's about a thousand knives that have been in my skin.
07:09Man, it won't feel like that forever, though, will it?
07:12No.
07:13But they say I'm gonna have a pretty big scar for the rest of my life.
07:17Well, if you do, that's probably the upside.
07:21A scar's tougher than a tat any day,
07:24and chicks really dig them.
07:27I'll take your word for that.
07:32So, if you're not doing anything,
07:34do you want to come over and grab something to eat?
07:37I don't want to bother your mum.
07:39I mean, you guys are still grieving.
07:42It's hard, but...
07:44After what Hugo did,
07:46we're moving on.
07:47So don't sweat it.
07:48Come on.
08:01Yep.
08:02Hey, I was hoping I might find you here.
08:04What are you up to?
08:05Oh, I'm just, uh,
08:06packing her to bait shop stuff up for Aidan.
08:09I thought it might be nice
08:10if your granddaughter takes you out for lunch today.
08:12Oh, sorry, love, but I'm flat out.
08:14We've got to go over and finalise stuff
08:16at the surf club after this.
08:18So you haven't changed your mind about early retirement?
08:20Well, I'm not retiring.
08:22I'll still be around doing bits and pieces.
08:24Just pulling away from the community as much as possible.
08:29Can we talk about this, please?
08:31There's nothing to talk about.
08:32Yeah, there is.
08:34You can't just pull away from the world
08:36and all the things that you love.
08:37The surf club's just a job,
08:39and the bait shop's nothing more.
08:41This isn't like you.
08:43I've never heard you talk like this before.
08:46Maybe you're right.
08:47Maybe I have changed.
08:49And if I have,
08:51well, I can't see myself changing back
08:52any time soon.
08:55So you and the rest of the world
08:57are just going to have to get used to it.
09:05Hey, I'm looking for Jeff.
09:08I heard he was here.
09:09His inside was Xavier.
09:11Gina, about this morning,
09:14I loved Hugo too.
09:16I know you're angry
09:18and I understand that.
09:19But I think it's really important
09:21that you and that Xavier
09:22try to let go of that.
09:24I appreciate your concern,
09:26but I really don't want to talk about this.
09:34Hey, Jeff,
09:35do you have a second?
09:37Uh, yeah, I think so.
09:39Hey, yeah, we're done.
09:40I've got to be somewhere anyway.
09:44Hey.
09:44Hey, what's up?
09:46I want to talk to you about Grandad.
09:49Charlie's so competitive.
09:51She's worked so hard to run that station.
09:53I didn't think she'd take it like this.
09:55Now she's too busy
09:56to even have her juice with me.
09:58Oh, give her time, man.
10:00I'm sure she'll feel differently
10:01about it tomorrow.
10:03Maybe.
10:04Or she might not even be talking to me.
10:08Oh, sorry.
10:09I've been rambling on all lunch.
10:10I haven't been holding you up from work, have I?
10:11Eh, just the opposite, in fact.
10:14I'm signing off from this joint for a while.
10:17Maybe for a long while.
10:19Make it sound like you're going to leave
10:20and never return.
10:24That's not it, is it?
10:27Well, right now, I don't have any plans
10:28except to spend some time away from...
10:32The bay.
10:34You're not actually thinking of leaving town, are you?
10:36Well, for good.
10:38Yeah, mate.
10:39That's exactly what I'm thinking.
10:42Spitting around in circles on the ground.
10:59Hey, how was lunch?
11:01It was fine.
11:02I ended up sharing it with Alf.
11:05Would have preferred to share it with you, though.
11:08Now that I'm back, I've got to hit the ground running.
11:10I want to keep the boss happy.
11:13Charlie, what's going on?
11:14Nothing.
11:15If you're angry about this promotion,
11:17we should talk about it.
11:18There's nothing to talk about.
11:19Everything's great.
11:20Well, I think there is something to talk about.
11:21The way you've been acting all morning,
11:23these boss jokes,
11:25it's not you.
11:27Okay, fine.
11:28I admit I was a little bit thrown by your promotion at first,
11:31but I'm handling it.
11:32You called running around the office,
11:34ignoring me handling it.
11:35I'm not running around.
11:36My work has nothing to do with how I'm feeling.
11:39Like I said, I was a little bit thrown at first
11:41because it was a surprise,
11:42but I'm fine with it now.
11:44I'm happy for you.
11:47Fine.
11:48I'll leave you to it.
12:01The place was burning all around us,
12:03but Mr. Stewart really took charge,
12:05just like you'd expect,
12:06but at the same time,
12:08you could tell he couldn't believe any of it was happening.
12:10I mean, none of us could.
12:12I can't believe that people,
12:14you know, just regular people,
12:16could suddenly snap like that.
12:18I can imagine the whole thing
12:20must have been pretty terrible.
12:21It was like I was...
12:25powerless to stop it.
12:28Maybe that's what's bothering Grandad,
12:31the lack of control.
12:33Well, either that
12:34or he just doesn't want to think about it.
12:35I mean, I know I don't.
12:37I know it's difficult.
12:39It's important not to ignore
12:40an intense experience like that.
12:43I just want to block it all out.
12:45I mean, what they did, their faces.
12:47What, the writers?
12:48No.
12:49Ruby, Leah, all of them.
12:52Seeing the fear in their eyes,
12:54I'll never forget that,
12:54but I don't want to remember it.
12:59I'm scared, Martha.
13:01I mean, I'm really, really scared,
13:05and I don't know what to do about it.
13:11Come in.
13:12Just passing by.
13:13I thought you might like to share a cold one with me
13:14if you're up for it.
13:16Oh, I've just had my head in the fridge
13:18and I'm barn dry.
13:19Must be fate, then.
13:22Hmm.
13:22To be honest, I've got to kill a bit of time
13:24and Charlie's still at work.
13:25Oh, well, if you're going to be that romantic about it,
13:28I can hardly say no.
13:31Sorry for talking you off at lunch.
13:33That's all right.
13:34I work in a bar.
13:36My ears are used to it.
13:40Uh, Alf, what you said earlier
13:44about needing some time away.
13:46Look, mate, I don't mean to be rude,
13:47but half the town's been trying to talk to me
13:49about my feelings and I'm sick of it.
13:51I was just wondering if you were thinking about leaving
13:53because of what you've been forced into with Hugo.
13:57I know it must be a lot to carry.
13:59Well, that didn't make it any easier,
14:01but it's not about that, no.
14:03It's, um, it's more about the whole town.
14:07Well, the town can be pretty hard to live in.
14:09I remember when I first came back.
14:12You were pretty tough on me.
14:13Did you blow me?
14:15Well, no, because you were tough,
14:17but you're always fair.
14:19You're a good bloke, Alf.
14:20And I know the town love and respect you for that.
14:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, mate.
14:24I don't mind the beer,
14:24but let's back off on the romance, eh?
14:26It's true.
14:28You know, OK, the town may have its fair share of bad eggs,
14:32but it's the same as any other town.
14:34The good still outshines it.
14:36The bay gave me my life back.
14:39After what happened with Jack,
14:41I didn't think I wanted to live.
14:42I never thought I'd be accepted into a community again,
14:45and let alone this one.
14:47It gave me another chance.
14:50It's a pretty special place.
14:54Maybe just think of that
14:55before you make any hasty decisions.
15:05Hey.
15:06Hey.
15:07Do you have time for a chat?
15:09Yeah, of course.
15:10Come in.
15:13How are you and your mum doing?
15:16I'm getting there.
15:18Mum's still pretty raw, though.
15:21How about you?
15:23I'm alive, which is the main thing.
15:25Do you want a drink?
15:26No, I'm fine.
15:28No, I just had a few days off in the sun,
15:30which always helps.
15:32I just came over to apologise
15:35for what Hugo did to you.
15:37You don't need to do that.
15:38Yes, I do.
15:40You could have been killed.
15:41But I'm fine now.
15:43Besides, Xavier, it's hardly your fault.
15:45OK, and in my line of work,
15:47it's probably not going to be the last time
15:48that my life's in danger.
15:49Are you sure?
15:50Because if there's anything I can do to help,
15:52I know Hugo would want me to do it.
15:54I really appreciate your concern,
15:55but you don't need to worry about me.
15:57OK, just concentrate on worrying
15:58about your mum and Martha.
15:59And yourself.
16:01Well, there's got to be something.
16:03Alone, maybe?
16:06Look, that's very sweet,
16:07but I'm not going to borrow money
16:09off a 16-year-old.
16:13Xavier, Hugo's mistakes,
16:14they're not your mistakes.
16:16Kate, you're still the same good kid
16:17you always were before this.
16:19No, I'm not.
16:21What's happened's changed everything.
16:24It's made me think about
16:25what's really important,
16:26what really matters.
16:28What's that?
16:30Family and friends.
16:32The people you care about.
16:35In the end,
16:36it doesn't matter what grades you get in school
16:38or how much money you have
16:39or what job you do.
16:41What really matters
16:42is doing the right thing
16:43by the people you care about,
16:45treating them right
16:47and being honest
16:50something Hugo never did.
17:06Sorry I'm late.
17:08I'll stop over to Al's for a bit.
17:09No, no worries.
17:10So, you ready to hit the town?
17:12Got some celebrating to do.
17:14You know it's okay to feel disappointed,
17:16don't you?
17:17Angelo, for the last time, I'm fine.
17:18Just let me get my bag.
17:19Because if I was in your shoes,
17:21I'd feel pretty hard done by.
17:28Okay.
17:29I do feel disappointed.
17:33Resentful even.
17:34It's terrible, I know.
17:35No, it's not.
17:37It's okay to feel like that.
17:39Is it?
17:40Because you're my boyfriend
17:41and I should feel happy.
17:43And after talking to Xavier today,
17:45it made me realise that
17:46I should be focusing on
17:47what's truly important.
17:49But
17:51the truth is
17:52I feel ripped off.
17:54I know I shouldn't,
17:55but I do.
17:59It's natural to feel scared
18:01after what you've been through.
18:03But that feeling of fear,
18:04it will pass.
18:07How do you know that for sure?
18:09Because I've been through it before.
18:11The pain,
18:12it goes away.
18:14Eventually.
18:15Yeah, well,
18:16this scar is going to be with me forever
18:17and
18:18whenever I look at it,
18:19I'm going to be reminded
18:20of what happened.
18:21I've got scars too.
18:23I used to hate looking at them
18:24because they reminded me
18:25of how close I came to dying.
18:27They don't bother me anymore.
18:30How come?
18:31Because I faced the pain.
18:35Jeff,
18:35if my life has taught me anything,
18:37it's that you can't outrun it.
18:39Pain is something
18:39that needs to be faced head on.
18:41It's the only way through it.
18:43Yeah, well,
18:44I'm facing the pain at the moment.
18:46Can't help but face the pain.
18:48No, I'm talking about
18:49the emotional pain.
18:51I tried to run away from it
18:53with Jack,
18:53but it didn't work.
18:55I'm not even going to bother
18:55trying to do that with Hugo.
18:59Even though he was
19:00a bad person,
19:01I still loved him.
19:04I wanted to spend
19:05the rest of my life with him
19:06and I'm devastated he's gone.
19:08But this time,
19:09I'm going to allow myself
19:10to cry when I need to,
19:11to be angry,
19:12to feel the pain.
19:13It's the only way through it.
19:16Go with the pain, Jeff.
19:19Experience the highs,
19:20the lows.
19:21Get salt water into your wounds.
19:23If only to remind yourselves
19:25that even though things
19:26may be bad,
19:27you're still here.
19:28You're still alive.
19:44You're still alive.
19:48Some sacrifice is needed
19:54Before I can go home
20:01Before I can go home
20:08And I paid my respects
20:16We both stayed out of sight
20:23I left a note by the bed
20:31These are the words that are bad
20:45Some sacrifice is needed
20:59Next week on Home and Away.
21:01I love you.
21:02Last time I said that to someone,
21:03it didn't go down too well.
21:04All I do is think about
21:05how close Nicole and I were
21:06and what we could have had.
21:07Hey!
21:08Stop!
21:08I can't take this anymore.
21:10It's over.
21:11Leah, don't tell me
21:11that you have not left this house
21:13for a whole week.
21:14I'm terrified.
21:15Either you snap out of it
21:16and see all the good things
21:17in your life
21:18or do what you've been
21:18threatening to do all along
21:19and that's leave the bay.
21:20What's your problem?
21:21Your mother.
21:21There's something about her
21:22I just don't trust.
21:23Romeo's the only family I've got
21:25because my mum left us both
21:26because I killed
21:27her abusive, violent husband.
