00:01Previously on Home and Away.
00:06He's gonna need a fair bit of rehab.
00:08It's Nita here, Hassan wanted me to try you again.
00:11I just can't really get away at the moment.
00:13There's so much involved getting the diner back on track.
00:15The whole idea of not being able to go out of the house seems so ridiculous.
00:21There you go.
00:23I keep moving the cash around and then putting it back to where it was.
00:27But one thing's for sure, you need to keep it away from my sister.
00:30Don't even talk about it around her.
00:32Force doesn't work on Mink anyway.
00:34The worst part is, she's totally unpredictable.
00:43Mmm, burnt steak.
00:45Al must be cooking.
00:46They're not burnt, they're caramelised.
00:48Romeo, can you please try and convince Al that there are other ways to cook other than a barbecue?
00:53Wash your mouth out.
00:54Romeo.
00:55Yeah, no worries.
01:02Clearly I need to work on my comedy.
01:04I think he might be a bit worried about his sister.
01:07Hey!
01:08You're a clock, eh?
01:09Don't mind if I do.
01:10I do.
01:12I do.
01:12I don't.
01:16Oh.
01:16Oh, man up, Romeo.
01:18What's the matter with you?
01:19You look like you're about to cry.
01:20I'm fine.
01:21You sure?
01:22Yeah.
01:22Good.
01:24Oh, by the way, were you planning on cremating those steaks?
01:29Oh.
01:30She's happy?
01:32Yeah.
01:33She is.
01:58No.
01:59Oh!
02:11I haven't had a chance to do the shopping, but I can just rustle something up with what's here if
02:16that's okay?
02:17I've already had two brekkies.
02:18Three if you count the bag and the egg roll I had this morning.
02:21Okay.
02:21Well, we'll go with coffee then.
02:23Good idea.
02:26You're good.
02:28Oh, thanks.
02:29Well, I'm feeling better anyway, so.
02:31It's going to take some time, Leigh, but you've got all the love and support that you need around you.
02:34Thanks.
02:34Well, I'm grateful.
02:36Have you heard from Hadram?
02:38Um, his mum called again last night.
02:40He wants to see me, but I don't think I'm ready yet.
02:45It's just about last week.
02:46It's more than that.
02:48I'm just feeling so guilty, and the longer it goes on with no contact, the harder it is.
02:53So many times I try calling him, but I end up just sitting there staring at the phone.
02:58Anyway, him seeing me the way I am now is hardly going to help him, right?
03:01I'm thinking it'll do you both the world of good.
03:03No.
03:04I think it's best if we just both go our own ways.
03:08You know what?
03:09Forget the coffee.
03:10We're having juice.
03:11I've got just the person you need to talk to.
03:13Come on.
03:14What, Miles?
03:14What are you doing?
03:15Just go with the flow.
03:16Go with the flow.
03:16Go with the flow.
03:17What do you mean?
03:18Well, are you sure it was stolen?
03:21If mum had found it, I'd be in no condition to talk to you.
03:24And she wouldn't go to see Brendan.
03:25She'd be cooking up a punishment for me.
03:27And nothing else was missing?
03:28No.
03:30Man.
03:31The window had been jimmied open, so someone definitely broke in.
03:34Someone who knew about the money.
03:37Wait, you don't think it was me, do you?
03:38Of course not.
03:40So who then?
03:41Who do you reckon?
03:42No, she wouldn't.
03:45No, you probably actually would, wouldn't you?
03:47As if I've got any idea how her mind works.
03:51Did you see her last night?
03:53Yeah, she seemed okay.
03:54Okay as in, I've just stolen thousands of dollars from my brother's mate?
03:58Or, okay as like, what a lovely day I've had.
04:01As if I've got any idea how her mind works.
04:04Don't worry.
04:05If Mink stole the money, I'll get it back.
04:06I promise.
04:08Okay.
04:10Maybe Promise is pushing it, but I'll do my best.
04:15Al, your big idea is that I talk to Al.
04:18Why not?
04:18Well what's so crazy about that?
04:20Come and sit down.
04:21Oh no, sorry Alf, it's just, well, I wouldn't know where to start.
04:25I don't think that this is your area.
04:28This is exactly his area of expertise.
04:30He's gone through a pretty dark patch these past couple of weeks and he got through it.
04:33Maybe he can help you through it as well.
04:34Over to you, Alf.
04:35I don't think it's the same thing.
04:37Well, it doesn't matter much, love.
04:38I mean, when you get right down to this, it's, well, it's all about faith.
04:42Yours in others, or yourself.
04:45It's all the same thing.
04:46What do you mean?
04:47Well, I've seen people in this town turn their lives around.
04:50That gave me strength to do exactly the same thing.
04:53It restored my faith.
04:55The strength it took you to leave the house today.
04:57With everything you've been through, that might inspire Hazem as well.
05:01Well, I wouldn't even know what to say to him.
05:03Well, the words don't have to be perfect love, it doesn't really matter.
05:07You being there, that's what's going to make the difference.
05:14Well, there's more food in the cupboard,
05:16and I get to take longer showers without the hot water running out,
05:19so it's not all that bad, darling.
05:21And cheaper bills, that's a good thing.
05:23Yeah.
05:24It's funny, though.
05:25You know, suddenly when someone's not there anymore,
05:27you really start to miss all those things that used to drive you up the wall about them.
05:32And I miss work more than I thought I would.
05:35I miss my chats with Leah.
05:36I guess now that the house is so quiet and not having that interaction anymore,
05:41I guess I'm just at a bit of a loose end.
05:44Well, I guess you don't realise what a huge part of your life something like the diner is until it's
05:48gone.
05:49Yeah, you take things for granted.
05:51Fair income, work, the kids, and then all of a sudden they're not there anymore.
05:57See, most people would enjoy the peace and quiet.
06:00Not me, love. No way.
06:03I've never been one to sit around on my backside doing nothing.
06:06Drives me round the bend. Too much time to think.
06:09Well, I say we get out there and we do something.
06:11Stop sitting around, what do you say?
06:12Now that sounds like a plan.
06:15Just let me get me bag.
06:23What now, you want to dust for prints?
06:25Just hang on, I'm still trying to get my head around it.
06:27You and me both. I can't believe your sister would be so low. Stealing money from her brother's mate.
06:33She's been in it crazy. Crazy than usual.
06:37The thing with my sister is, she does stuff.
06:40It seems a bit random at the time, or just plain old crazy.
06:44But then it has a way of making sense in the long run.
06:47Right. Then what's this then? Is she doing us some kind of favour?
06:51I don't know yet.
06:52Because if she starts spending up big, it won't take long for that money to be traced back to me.
06:56And that's a favour I can do without.
06:58No, she wouldn't do that.
07:00There has to be a reason.
07:02She's probably just doing it to annoy us.
07:04Or just me.
07:06Or maybe just you.
07:07Look, she probably hasn't spent a cent.
07:09So the money could be just sitting there.
07:12Waiting to be found by Miles or Alf or someone.
07:16Yeah, we better go to my place and have a look for it.
07:19Yeah, and it better be there.
07:44Oh, hi.
07:45Um, I was just wondering if I could be put through to Hazem Kassir's room.
07:50Thanks.
07:53Dara, hi.
07:55Um, it's Leah.
07:58Yeah, I'm sorry.
07:59I haven't had a chance to call until now.
08:01But, um, I was wondering if it's okay if I come and see him.
08:11Any time today's fine.
08:13The sooner the better.
08:15What's the next one up from that?
08:17No, money's not an issue.
08:18Just give me the best there is.
08:20All right, sweet.
08:21Lock it in.
08:22Uh, yeah, I'll be around soon to pay.
08:25Definitely cash.
08:26Okay, bye.
08:28Um, if that's lunch stuff, don't worry about me.
08:30I'm heading out.
08:31It's not, and I wasn't, but thanks for giving me the heads up.
08:35And if we don't find the box, we may as well...
08:38Hey, back.
08:39What box?
08:40What box?
08:41That's what I just said.
08:42What box?
08:42Huh?
08:43What box are you talking about?
08:45It's just a box that I'm looking for.
08:47Yes, thank you, Xavier.
08:48I got that much.
08:49What's inside the box?
08:50Nothing.
08:51It's not important.
08:52What's that important?
08:53It's nothing.
08:54Nothing that matters.
08:56Is it magazines?
08:57What?
08:58Do you have nudie magazines inside your box?
09:01It's completely cool and completely...
09:02No, it's not magazines.
09:03It's not any kind of magazines.
09:05It's just a box.
09:07An empty box.
09:08No, it's got photos in it.
09:09Oh, Xavier.
09:10You're not taking photographs of yourself, are you?
09:13No!
09:13What's with you, dude?
09:14No, it's just a box of old photos that I've actually scanned.
09:17I thought I left them here, but now I'm not so sure.
09:22I think it's a very good thing that I'm here.
09:24Oh, why is that?
09:25Is your box yay long, yay high?
09:27Yes, so where'd you see it?
09:29I think I saw Stinky Mickey walking out with something just like it.
09:32Well, why did you say that before?
09:33I don't know.
09:34Boxes make me curious.
09:40Where is she?
09:42I don't know, but if she's not at your place,
09:43I don't reckon she's planning on returning the cash.
09:46Of course she's not.
09:46Why would she take it if she was going to give it back?
09:48Unless it's all just some stupid game to her.
09:51It's like I said, she never does anything without a reason.
09:53It's just not always that easy to figure out.
09:55I don't care anymore.
09:56I don't care what her reasons are.
09:58I just want to get it back before we get into serious trouble.
10:10Where's my money?
10:11Wow, someone's been chewing their angry pills this morning.
10:14Does it look like I'm playing you?
10:15Just tell me where it is.
10:16Okay, before you break down crying,
10:18why don't you start by telling me what you're talking about?
10:20Don't bother lying, Miles saw you with the box.
10:23Ah, the box.
10:24That's why you're so worked up.
10:25Where is it?
10:30You know your nose kind of crinkles up
10:31and your eyes widen when you're angry?
10:33Looks a bit weird, to be honest.
10:36Tell me that's not a new wedding.
10:37Yeah, you like it?
10:38I got one for you as well.
10:40I don't believe this.
10:42Oh, tuck your skirt in, will you?
10:43I didn't spend it all.
10:44Man, you are such a baby.
10:46I got stuff for both of you
10:47and I booked a convertible to take us into the city
10:49and spend the rest.
10:50You give me back the rest of the money or...
10:52Or what?
10:53You'll call the cops?
10:54Go for it.
10:55Call them right now.
10:56That's enough.
10:57This is what you're going to do.
10:58You're going to take back everything you've bought for refunds,
11:00then you're going to cancel the car.
11:01But first, give Xavier back whatever money you haven't spent yet.
11:05Fine.
11:06If either of you decide to actually live one day, let me know.
11:12You're acting more dead than your brother.
11:14Mink!
11:16As soon as you give me back what's mine,
11:18we've got nothing to say to each other.
11:20Do you understand?
11:21We're done.
11:30You're kidding.
11:31I set this up, didn't I?
11:32No, I don't know what you're talking about.
11:34I just thought you might be able to help her.
11:35She's at a loose end.
11:36Well, I understand that, love,
11:38but I still don't think it's a good idea.
11:40Well, it wouldn't be forever, just for the time being.
11:43All right.
11:44I'll see what I can do.
11:45Hang on to those.
11:52So, what's your story?
11:54You've just finished helping me with my mess,
11:56and now I'm asked to repay the favour already.
12:00Love, I don't know what Martha's said.
12:02It's not that bad.
12:03I'm just, I don't know, in a bit of a loose end.
12:05A loose end, yeah.
12:05Yeah, I can understand that.
12:07With Geoff and young Annie out of the house,
12:08it must be pretty quiet around there.
12:10Yeah, that and with no work at the diner,
12:13I don't know, I just feel like my life's a little bit empty at the moment.
12:15Well, that happens to all of us from time to time,
12:17but empty's not a word I'd use to describe your life.
12:21I think you're just going through a quiet time for the time being.
12:23Hmm.
12:24So quiet, in fact,
12:25I actually miss arguing with Colleen over orders.
12:28Struth.
12:29I didn't realise it was that bad.
12:30Why didn't you say something?
12:33You know, um,
12:34I might be able to sling a few shifts your way here,
12:36if you like, you know,
12:37just to keep you busy until the diner opens.
12:39Oh, love, thank you.
12:41That would be absolutely fantastic.
12:44I could do a couple of hours now, if you like.
12:46Oh, well, then you'll need this.
12:47Oh, thank you.
12:50Oh, and thanks, doll.
12:56Well, yeah, I know what I said before,
12:58but now I'm cancelling.
12:59Yeah, well, when I hang up the phone,
13:00you can call someone who cares.
13:02Tool.
13:04Okay, ladies.
13:05All fun has officially been cancelled.
13:07Happy now?
13:08I'm out.
13:09Catch you later.
13:10Oh, what?
13:10So you're not even going to talk to me?
13:11Is that it?
13:12You're just going to have a weirdo sook.
13:14You want a glass of milk before you go?
13:15Enough.
13:16Mink, just give it a break.
13:17Don't bother, man.
13:18She doesn't get it,
13:19and I really don't care anymore.
13:22Well, go on.
13:23Say what you want to say.
13:24Get it off your chest.
13:26What's the point?
13:27As if you'd even bother listening.
13:28See, what you don't get
13:29is that Xavier's one of the most chilled guys there is.
13:32He would have been cool if you hadn't pushed it so far,
13:34but that's just what you do, isn't it?
13:36Push people away.
13:38Let me give you a friendly warning.
13:41There's a point where the people you push away
13:43eventually stop coming back.
13:58Leah, have you got your bags packed?
14:01Yeah, they're packed, but...
14:04But what?
14:06I don't think I can go.
14:08What?
14:08What?
14:09Why?
14:10Well, I was...
14:11What am I going to say to him?
14:13How am I going to make him feel better?
14:15I'm a mess.
14:16I can barely walk out the front door and hasn't...
14:20Leah, there aren't a lot of people that are fans of visiting hospitals.
14:24Oh, Leah, come on.
14:25I've got to do a lot of effort.
14:26I've got our ute filled with your favourite 90 CDs.
14:28I've got Slurpees.
14:29They've melted, sure, but they're there.
14:31Come on.
14:32We can do the whole Thelma and Louise thing.
14:36Alright, come on.
14:37Let's go.
14:39Come on.
14:39Good girl.
14:48What are you doing here?
14:48I can't refund the wetsuit I was wearing,
14:50so I'll have to owe you for that one.
14:51But otherwise, it's all there.
14:52You can check it.
14:53Yeah, well, it better be.
14:56What do you want now?
14:57A nice cup of coffee would be a good start.
14:59Okay, if that's too much trouble, I'll settle for an average one.
15:02It'll help wash down the apology.
15:04An apology?
15:05Really?
15:06Well, how about I start with an explanation and see how I got...
15:09I think I've heard enough.
15:10Okay, look, no more wisecracks.
15:11I promise.
15:13Now, will you let me in?
15:15Fine.
15:17Coffee, then apology.
15:18Come round the front.
15:28Thanks for coming with me.
15:30Are you kidding me?
15:30I'm obsessed with vending machines.
15:32What better place to find one?
15:34Here we go.
15:35Yeah, this is you.
15:36And do you want me to go in with you?
15:38Um, no, no.
15:39It's okay.
15:40Alright, we'll just...
15:41You'll be fine.
15:42Just be there.
15:44That's all you have to do.
15:44Don't have to say anything.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:20I'm sorry.
16:20Leah, it's okay.
16:23Don't cry.
16:25It's okay.
16:31Hey.
16:35Hey.
16:36Hey.
16:37Hey.
16:41Hey.
16:45Look, I shouldn't have taken it.
16:47And I shouldn't have said that about your brother.
16:51I'm sorry.
16:56Is that it?
16:57Oh, come on, Zayv, you don't make this weird.
16:59I said, I'm sorry.
17:01I knew it.
17:02You what?
17:03You're a fake.
17:04You're meant to have this super smart chick hiding behind the tough girl thing going on.
17:08At least that's what Romeo thinks, but I've never believed it.
17:12And I was right.
17:13I don't buy that you do all these crazy things that turn out to be deep.
17:17Stealing my money, that was just plain dumb.
17:20There was nothing profound or clever about it.
17:23Seriously, what was meant to happen?
17:25I'd be, wow, she's so zany and unpredictable, I can't wait to hang out with her some more.
17:32Sorry, for the record, it's not deep.
17:35It's just shallow and obvious.
17:38You know, the thing about people who try and be unpredictable and provocative all the time,
17:43it gets really predictable and really boring.
17:47You're right.
17:48It is obvious.
17:50Assuming that is what I was trying to do, of course.
17:52Are you saying that's not it?
17:54But there's more to it?
17:56I don't know.
17:58You tell me.
18:00I think you.
18:02Oh.
18:03Don't ever call me a fake.
18:09Anyway, thanks for the coffee and sorry again for everything.
18:14Oh, and good work on figuring me all out.
18:16Smart cookie.
18:18Later.
18:26There you go, love.
18:27Thanks very much.
18:28So far, so good?
18:29Oh, nothing to it, love.
18:31Love, I mean, God save us.
18:32After all my years in the diner, you'd want to hope I'd be able to do this all right.
18:35Yeah, I guess so.
18:36I'm not flaming all of the chopping boards.
18:38I could have sworn there was a pile of them down there this morning.
18:40Love, I just whacked them up there to free up some bench spots.
18:43Yeah, well, they go here.
18:44This is where we chop the fruit.
18:46No worries, love.
18:47It's your bar.
18:49Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:49What are you doing?
18:51What are you doing?
18:52Chopping the flaming pineapple.
18:54What's it look like I'm doing?
18:55Oh, give it here, you big galoot.
18:56You don't do it like that.
18:57You always cut a pineapple this way.
19:01That way, you don't waste any, see?
19:06It doesn't matter how you cut a flaming pineapple.
19:09Sorry?
19:09They're my pineapples.
19:10I'll cut them out of what a flaming will like.
19:12Don't worry, at least she's being enthusiastic.
19:15Tell you what, I'm starting to find a new level of respect for Colleen.
19:18Come on, Grandad, stay positive.
19:20That's exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.
19:24Thanks a lot.
19:32I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to come and see you.
19:36So many times I tried, but I just couldn't.
19:39That's okay.
19:41I understand.
19:42No, you don't.
19:44It wasn't just about coming here.
19:46I've been scared to leave the house.
19:50It's only been the last couple of days that I've been out at all.
19:54Well, Leah, I had no idea.
19:56Yeah, I'm so sorry.
19:58It's not your fault.
20:01Ever since that night, I've been scared to do a lot of things.
20:04I didn't think I'd be able to face you.
20:08Well, I'm glad you came, because I've missed you.
20:12Me too.
20:15It's just hard remembering the last time we were together and what happened.
20:22Yeah, but you're here now, and that's all I care about.
20:27So, we can put it all behind us.
20:29Just concentrate on the future.
20:32From now on, it's all in the past.
20:33Okay?
20:36Okay.
20:43Next time on Home and Away.
20:46Beating affected some of my motor function.
20:48Just start from scratch with a few things, like walking, feeding myself.
20:52Yeah?
20:53Leah, we finally meet.
20:54Do I have family here?
20:56Somewhere to stay long term?
20:57I haven't given it much thought.
20:59You can stay with us for as long as it takes.
21:01Do you think this might be moving a bit fast?
21:03I mean, you've only been in a couple of days with him.
21:05I can't just abandon him, because he's hurt.
21:07Do you even love me, honestly?
21:08If you backed out, people wouldn't understand.
21:10You know that, don't you?
21:11He needs me.
21:11I can't turn my back on him now.
21:15Hugh Jackman is having a bad day.
