03:09i can't afford to rest on my laurel
03:11can i
03:12thank you
03:13first decision
03:14i hate somebody could come down
03:16any second
03:17well then i'll drag you upstairs
03:18no i've got to be up early
03:20alpha kill me if i'm late
03:22i'm sorry
03:24okay
03:25but what are you
03:26doing for lunch
03:27are you free
03:27yeah i'm free for lunch
03:43so you can't even cut a piece of fruit without irene telling you off
03:46i remember those lectures
03:48it's not that bad mate
03:49it's just that she's run her own business for so flaming long she probably can't stand anybody else telling her
03:54what to do
03:55what and you're going to tell her off
03:56because if you are you know i'll come and watch that it'll be amazing
03:59i think addressing down from one sheila today is enough
04:02young nicole got stuck into me about pinching a toast at breakfast time
04:06you two didn't have some sort of blue after i went to bed last night did you
04:10no
04:10are you sure because she was in a pretty filthy mood
04:13no no i didn't say anything i swear
04:14because in my vast experience with women
04:17when they get up that grumpy first thing in the morning nine times out of ten
04:21it's the boyfriend's fault
04:27yeah well i'm not sure it's going to work right but i you know i promised i'd give it a
04:30go so i will
04:32yeah
04:33yeah well i'll keep my side of the bargain and be civil you know
04:35as long as he doesn't you know starts acting like a human being for once instead of you know
04:39as opposed to the swivel-eyed psychopath i've been lately
04:43i think even i can manage that
04:47yeah that was him actually
04:49and i don't know i think he actually might have made a joke
04:52maybe he's gonna make an effort
04:58well i think the moral of this little trip is never let me choose the hotel
05:02i mean he paints the walls red and black anyway it was like we were sleeping in the steven king
05:06novel
05:08you didn't get much sleep
05:09i was just thinking about hasm and his family
05:12what am i gonna say to his mom
05:14i'm just gonna think i'm completely selfish of staying away this long
05:18i think once she knows what you've been through she'll completely understand just like how you did
05:22what am i gonna say to him you know i wanna think about what he's been through it's heartbreaking
05:26yeah you just gotta be there for him that's the best you can do
05:32yeah

06:33no tony it's not like that

06:53we've lost ten in the last two weeks
06:54and what is going on we can't keep going on with this we're gonna go under
07:05now this is a view that i could get used to
07:08you're early
07:08do you mind waiting ten minutes i can't get off here
07:10no watching you lift stuff's kinda fun
07:14you're in a good mood

07:16i don't know just something else said this morning wasn't i
07:19what did he say
07:21oh you said you were kind of upset at breakfast
07:22no i wasn't
07:23well that's just what he said
07:25okay maybe i was a bit tired because i didn't have the best sleep last night
07:28no sorry i wasn't miss chirpy
07:31hey why were you two talking about me behind my back anyway
07:34we weren't you just mentioned it
07:36i guess the whole toast thing kinda scared me
07:38so nothing's going on
07:40no
07:41there's nothing you want to talk about anything you want to say
07:44no everything's sweet
07:45so the world thinks i'm moody and as far as you're concerned everything's sweet
07:48we didn't say you were moody
07:49well mr stewart did
07:50no he didn't
07:51you know i don't care
07:52you can keep your lunch i'm not in the mood
08:03i'm not surprised how some needed a rest
08:06hasn't stopped talking all morning
08:08how are you holding up
08:10last few weeks must have been hard
08:12they're a bit of a blur really
08:16he was so happy in summer bay
08:18he loved the people the lifestyle
08:20i didn't blame him
08:22i visited him once and everyone was so friendly
08:25never dreamed something like this could happen there
08:29no neither did i
08:32so what are we going to do about hassan
08:35i've done some homework and this seems like the best place for him
08:39but i'm guessing you'd like to have him closer to home
08:41no no i think you're right i think this is the best place for him
08:46to have family here somewhere to stay long term
08:50uh no not really i haven't given it much thought
08:55you've been through a lot
08:57i'm just glad you came
08:59it's brave
09:00no hassan's the brave one
09:02still couldn't have been easy seeing him after your ordeal

09:08you can stay with us
09:10you and your boy for as long as it takes
09:18uh john you got a sec

09:31what
09:32me
09:33yeah they're saying you're a racist
09:35a racist
09:37that is ridiculous
09:39well some people are saying that your standpoint on refugees is a problem
09:42and others are saying you're responsible for causing the riot
09:44oh you have got to be kidding me
09:47i'm not saying i agree with them okay but this is a situation we're faced with
09:50and you need to do something about it
09:51we keep losing clients like this we're going to go under for good
09:54well what do you want me to do get myself certified politically correct
09:57people will believe what they want to believe
10:00yep i don't believe that to be the case but
10:02maybe
10:03if you spoke to leah
10:04you know her and her boyfriend will hurt you and this and her business was damaged it
10:08it's quite possible that could help
10:10you're out of luck there mate
10:11she's gone to the city with miles to see hasn't
10:13well how's he shaping up
10:15not too good by the sounds of it
10:22g'day love

10:26oh yeah because it's always my fault isn't it

10:40well i got my back up and totally lost it with him

10:44and i have no idea why i was angry with him in the first place
10:49do you want to tell me what this is all about

11:47i don't know you know since
11:49the ride i've been so focused on getting my head together i haven't really thought about the future
11:54okay you can tell me to butt out but
11:56do you think this might be moving a bit fast
11:58i mean you've only been on a couple of dates with him
12:00that's the thing
12:01i care about him i do but
12:04i don't know what would have happened between us
12:07well uprooting your whole life
12:08i can't just abandon him because he's hurt
12:13what are you doing here
12:14well i've come to speak with you and hassem
12:16well we don't want to talk to you so can you please leave
12:18if he hadn't started this trouble with hassem in the first place none of this would have happened
12:23john it's good to see you

12:26you know i should have called you but it's been an intense couple of weeks but
12:30i'm so grateful

12:41words john
12:42leah leah it was john who saved me
12:46if it wasn't for him i'd i'd probably be dead
12:57yeah after you got pulled away
12:59i couldn't get up i was getting kicked and punched and there was just too many of them
13:04but then started to stop when i realized that someone was pulling them off me
13:08it was john
13:12why didn't you tell anyone what you did
13:14well i didn't think i needed to i just did what anyone in their right mind would have done
13:18yeah but if you hadn't stepped in i would have been dead
13:21they should be naming streets after you
13:23you're not calling you a racist
13:26why are you coming forward now
13:27well business at the gym suffered since the riot
13:30tony reckons it's because the town thinks i'm the bad guy

14:48i didn't know he did this
14:50why didn't he say something

14:54and here i was ready to lynch him
14:56you were just trying to protect hazel
14:58i think it's fine
15:01so have you thought about what you're gonna do
15:03where you're gonna stay

15:32i can go if you need some rest
15:33no no
15:35mom just wouldn't shut up about how a rogue john is
15:39she's right but it was just exhausting
15:46she tells me you're gonna stay with her when you're in town
15:50oh um... possibly
15:51everything's happening so fast i haven't really thought about it
15:53but the main thing is is that i'm gonna be close to you
15:56let me get through this okay
15:59yeah
16:00you know ever since my dad died
16:03mum's just been like this force of nature

16:43we can figure all that out later
16:44no Leah i've got my mum and my brothers to take care of me
16:49and i don't want you staying with me out of sympathy
16:51that's not what i'm doing
16:52of course you would be
16:55but you can't
16:57you can't build a proper relationship based on
17:00obligation and pity
17:01i've got this
17:03this whole big journey ahead of me
17:07i appreciate what you're trying to do
17:10but now isn't the right time for us
17:13i think deep down the
17:14you know that
17:19i'm gonna beat this
17:22and when i do
17:23i'm gonna come knocking on your door
17:27i'd like that

17:43yeah i was but
17:44you know aiden's been through so much trying to move on after bell
17:47i don't want to load him up with my issues as well
17:50anyway he's coming over tonight and i'm just gonna play it totally cool
17:53i'm gonna let him make all the moves
17:54yes
17:54although i'll probably wear something sexy like this new low-cut Brit Hobart dress i just bought
17:59oh i don't think i need to know all the details
18:01anyway if there's a problem i think i'll know pretty quickly
18:05oh g'day guys
18:06how's husband
18:07no he's doing pretty well considering
18:09he's got a lot of work ahead of him
18:11but he is heading in the right direction
18:14he may never regain all his motive control
18:16well when can he go home
18:19he's staying in the city with his family
18:21i don't know if he's ever gonna come back
18:35well at least you picked a good movie this time
18:38please like your choices are any better
18:41like these land grabbers that take everything they can
18:44and the poor decent foe could deprive them of their god given a right to healthy recreation
18:49that's that's rude
18:50okay guys
18:55okay what's going on
18:57what do you mean
18:58well for a start these pawns are more chatty than you are
19:01i'm sorry it's been a long day
19:05and
19:09and i was just thinking
19:11how sad it is when two people who ought to be together
19:14aren't
19:17you know what i do when i'm sad
19:19eat chips
19:21oh
19:22so do i
19:25let's go
19:32where's that
19:33in the bathroom
19:34he's probably trying to climb out the window and make a run for it
19:37what why what's wrong
19:38that's it i have absolutely no idea
19:41okay
19:42are you sure you haven't got anything i'm not a fucking man anything will do
19:53hello who is it
19:54it's john palmer
19:57i'm sorry i know it's late
19:59no it's all right come in
20:00look i won't stay
20:01um
20:03look what you said to me today at the hospital about uh
20:06me being to blame for a hasm getting hurt i can't get that out of my head
20:10oh john i'm sorry i never would have said any of that stuff if i knew the full story
20:13no i'm i'm glad that you said it
20:15you were right
20:16the way i criticized his work in public was unfair and i don't know
20:21but that may have contributed to things getting out of hand
20:24but what i do know is that
20:26when the riot broke out i should have acted a hell of a lot sooner to stop it
20:31i was a coward
20:33i want you to know that i've convinced nira to let me help pay for their medical costs
20:38oh well
20:40that's very generous of you
20:41i know it won't change anything but uh
20:44it might go some way to making hasm more comfortable
20:48and for what it's worth
20:50i'm sorry
20:57next time on home and away
20:59i know that you love him and you're not sure whether or not he loves you back
21:02but you are also his girlfriend and you have rights
21:04you know how i feel about you
21:06i'm not sure how serious i want to be right now
21:09oh that sounds like someone that can't handle the heat
21:12and if you can't handle the heat you may as well get out of the kitchen
21:14oh
21:15how did you know what move i was going to make
21:17what's the trick
21:18i told you it's not a trick
21:19wait is this the shining or something
21:21oh rabbit
21:22miles you can't sleep
21:23why is that
21:24because if you sleep you die
21:26you
21:26you
