00:08Every day I wake up and I think, I don't deserve to be here.
00:10But you do, of course you do.
00:12Don't let what happened with Austin derail you.
00:14You know how easy it could be for you to end up back inside.
00:17I'm starting to wonder that maybe I was better off in prison.
00:21What the hell are you doing?
00:23No!
00:25What are you doing, please?
00:27I can't handle it out here.
00:28I need to go back to prison.
00:29No, you don't.
00:30That's the last thing that you...
00:31No, it's what I deserve.
00:32You can't force me to charge you.
00:34So consider this your official caution.
00:36What?
00:37You are free to go.
00:41St. Albert, you were under arrest for assaulting an officer.
00:44I know that it's hard.
00:45But we need to have a conversation about what happens if I don't get better.
00:49No one wants to have this conversation, but Eden needs it.
00:52She is facing her mortality and she shouldn't be alone in that.
00:55I don't know that I'm ever going to be ready.
00:57Me either.
00:59Okay.
01:00Okay.
01:00Okay.
01:01Okay.
01:01Let's go talk about it.
01:04Let the space
01:07Just be space
01:10No doubt to chase
01:14Separate roots named soil
01:20Never mind
01:22It's always fine
01:24We make the rhyme
01:26No one's to play
01:30We let it breathe
01:35We'll always have some day
01:41Go on.
01:43Ask.
01:44Ask what?
01:45Now that you're busting to know
01:48I'm okay
01:49It's just a walk
01:50It's not like I'm skydiving
01:51Okay, I'll cancel the plane and the skydiving
01:54I'll book for later then
01:55Look at you
01:56Making jokes
01:57That's why I like it
01:58I'm doing my best
01:59Yeah, I know you are
02:01And I really appreciate it
02:04Can I tell you how much better I feel
02:06I'm not having to tiptoe around the reality of my illness anymore
02:10I promise I won't ignore what you're facing
02:13And in return I promise that I won't be a Debbie Downer all the time
02:19Today I'm actually feeling quite positive
02:20All right
02:21Let's go with that
02:23Let's
02:32There we go
02:33Like it never happened
02:35Except that it very much did
02:37And let's just leave it there
02:39I know things have been tough for Zane
02:41But there's no excuse for this
02:43I'm not saying there is
02:44But I'm not going to kick Zane when he's down
02:47And there wasn't even that much damage anyway
02:49It was enough
02:50I just hope that the cops don't go too hard on him
02:55No way
02:58Well, there is a sight for sore eyes
03:01Can I help you?
03:02Ma'am
03:04I wanted to knock on your door a hundred times in the past few weeks
03:10This one's kept you under lock and key
03:12Yeah
03:13Things have changed a bit
03:14So you should get used to seeing me a lot more
03:17Honestly, this is the best news I have heard
03:19All day
03:21You look terrific
03:22Thanks, John
03:25Why do holidays always go so quickly?
03:29Ah, this morning you were saying you were happy to be coming home
03:32I know, now I want to go away again
03:35Guess I can't put it off forever
03:37Yeah
03:40It's my phone
03:44Oh, Justin
03:47You're welcome
03:47What do you want this for?
03:49I need to give Marilyn a call
03:51I'm sure she has the diner perfectly under control
03:54It's just a quick call out of courtesy
03:57Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
03:58Listen
03:58No one knows we're back yet, okay?
04:00Why don't we make the most of it?
04:01Let's just extend our break for the rest of the day
04:05That is a very good idea
04:07Is it?
04:09You came up with it
04:10Yes, I did
04:11And she'll be fine looking out for the diner for the next few hours
04:14She will be fine
04:15And she's got Zane helping her
04:18And she'd let me know if there was a problem
04:20Yes, she would
04:21This is good
04:23What are we going to do for the rest of our day?
04:25I was looking forward to a long hot shower
04:28Mmm, me too
04:31Thank you
04:31Yeah, hi, if someone could call me back as soon as possible
04:38I have a friend that urgently needs a solicitor
04:42Thanks
04:43I mean, what is the point of having a community legal service
04:47If they don't answer the phone?
04:48They'll get back to you, love
04:49They're always under the pump
04:51David, there must be something you can do
04:53He's already refused my offer of counselling
04:56But I'm going to suggest to his parole officer
04:58That he has a psych evaluation
05:00But only after you charge him
05:01Marilyn
05:02Why am I the only person who's trying to help him right now?
05:05I don't see what more we can do
05:06You were there
05:07He practically begged me to arrest him
05:09Yeah, but he's obviously making a huge mistake
05:12And we need to help him understand that
05:13Look, when it comes to rehabilitation
05:16Surely there's going to be slip-ups along the way
05:18Felting the copper in the mouth's a bit more than the slip-up
05:21I need to call his parole officer
05:22And tell him what's going on
05:24My hands are tied
05:26David, please let me talk to him
05:28Please, I'm begging you
05:38I'll give you a few minutes
05:40Thank you
05:43No, no
05:44You shouldn't be here
05:55Hey
05:57I promised I'd stand by you
05:59And that means through the good times and the bad
06:04Zane
06:06Look at me
06:07Look at me, darling
06:08Come on
06:09Hey
06:10What happened?
06:13You know what happened?
06:14No, I don't
06:15Is this because of what happened with Austin?
06:17No, that doesn't matter
06:19No, no, it does matter
06:20And I know that was a horrible thing to happen
06:23But that was my fault
06:24I'm so sorry
06:25No, you don't get to apologise
06:26Darling
06:27You don't get to apologise
06:28Don't give up on yourself now
06:31It's too late
06:31It's not
06:32It is
06:33It's not
06:34I'm going to fight for you
06:35No
06:36I'm going to get you
06:36No
06:37I'm going to do whatever it takes
06:38That's not what I want
06:39Why?
06:44You're a really nice lady, okay
06:48But I never deserved your kindness, okay
06:50And I don't want it now
06:54Can you please go?
07:14The kitchen apologised for the wait
07:16And they said the food's on the way
07:18Well, isn't this place has gone downhill since I left, hasn't it?
07:21Well, you were the glue that held this place together
07:29You okay?
07:30Yeah
07:31Yeah, yeah
07:33I was just thinking
07:34Do you reckon that they'd bring it out faster if you told them that I was dying?
07:38I reckon if you told them you're dying, they'd bring it out in five seconds flat
07:40Okay
07:44Hey
07:47Would you hate me if I wanted to go home?
07:49No
07:50No, I'll tell them to make the food takeaway
07:52Sorry
07:52Don't be sorry
07:53This is starting to feel like a proper date
07:57If this was a proper date, I'd just be trying to get you home anyway
08:02Very true, very true
08:14Hey
08:16Hey guys
08:16Hey man, well
08:19We were going to drop by later, if that's allowed
08:23It is, yes
08:24I'm so sorry that you're going through this
08:26Yeah, it sucks
08:28It's good to see you out and about, though
08:29Yeah, we're trying to find the balance between being careful and living our lives
08:33In other words, we've unwrapped the cotton wool a little bit, haven't we?
08:36Can I ask you, where are you at with you?
08:39It's a bit of a waiting game at the moment
08:41We're looking for a stem cell donor
08:45We're actually just on the way home
08:46Yeah
08:47I'm like an old lady, I need my nana
08:48Well, let us know if there's anything we can do to help
08:51Thanks
08:51Yeah, don't be afraid of seeing it
08:53Thank you
08:54There you are
09:00Well, Aidan, she looks exhausted
09:02Madonna comes through
09:04Yeah
09:06Hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa
09:08No phones, we said
09:09Well, I already snuck in a little text to Marilyn
09:13But she hasn't responded
09:15It's a lunchtime rush
09:16She's probably busy
09:17Yeah, I'm sure you're right
09:18Nothing to worry about
09:25Well, Abby's going home to get some stuff before her shift
09:29She says, let me know if you need anything
09:32Did you see the look that I got from Lear and Justin?
09:35Yeah, they seem pretty happy to see you
09:36Yeah, it must look like death warmed up
09:39Why?
09:40No, you look beautiful
09:41You've always looked beautiful
09:42Aw, you're lying, but I'll take it
09:46This is just like the crash that happens after you've got it
09:49Partied the whole weekend
09:50Yes, we should have come home after our walk
09:53It was a joint decision to go for lunch
09:56And this is what sucks
09:58I'm trying to live a normal life
09:59And I'm too tired to get off the couch
10:01Why don't you go to bed and have a proper sleep?
10:04That is a good call
10:05But I mean, the bedroom is so far away
10:07Oh, can we?
10:09Can we just stay here, please?
10:17I wasn't who I was
10:21When I met you
10:28And I knew it had to be
10:31A myth and part of me
10:34The fight that I was
10:36That's it, we know
10:41So what happens now?
10:42It's a matter for the state parole authority
10:44Right, but they're going to send me back to prison?
10:47I can't see any other outcome
10:50You're waiting in the cells here
10:51Until your transfer's ready
11:02I'm going to get Zane a lawyer
11:04They'll get him one, love
11:05Yeah, I'm going to get him a really good one
11:06You know, someone that's going to really fight for him
11:09Well, you heard David
11:10There's only one outcome here
11:12Look, just because you've given up on fighting for him
11:15Doesn't mean I'm going to, okay?
11:16Oh, come on
11:16No, I'm just going to walk
11:25She really wants to see the best in everyone, doesn't she?
11:28Yeah, well in this case
11:30She's not on her own
11:31In wanting to see young Zane make a go of it
11:33Yeah, the sad truth
11:35Forty to fifty percent of prisoners
11:38End up back inside within two years
11:40Pretty crook odds
11:41Yeah
11:44What I don't get is how you can brush all this off so easily
11:48Hey, just give it a rest
11:50You have no idea what that guy's going through
11:52Last night he couldn't even decide what he wanted to eat
11:55Oh, I see
11:56Shall I have the fish or the chicken?
11:57Now I know I'll go and vandalise someone's business
12:00Do you not have any sympathy for him?
12:03Little
12:04But we were all trying to help him
12:06That's what gets me
12:07What did you say to Zane?
12:09When?
12:09During your failed driving lesson
12:11We talked about this
12:12I know, we talked about what he said
12:13Well, what did you say to make all this happen?
12:15Nothing
12:16You're like a bull
12:17In a china shop at the best of times, John
12:19I should never have trusted you
12:20No, Marilyn, JP is telling the truth
12:22I was there for some of it
12:24He did nothing but try and make Zane feel better
12:26Really?
12:27Is that why Zane went straight to the police station
12:29And punched a police officer?
12:31Well, he's really made his bed this time
12:33I don't sound so happy about it, John
12:34Of course I'm not
12:35Everyone says that Summer Bay is this wonderful place
12:37Where we all help each other
12:38We do, that's what happens
12:40No, it's not what happened
12:42We didn't help Zane
12:43And now he's going to prison
12:59Okay, three cheers
13:01I made it to my feet
13:02How's that for effort?
13:03Hey, I said I'd carry you
13:04No, no, no
13:04It's all good
13:05I got a burst of energy
13:06Enough to get to the bedroom anyway
13:09Here I go
13:10I like flesh
13:11Blink and you'll miss it
13:19I won't stay
13:20I won't stay
13:21Just thought I'd say hi
13:22You know, now that I know I can pop in whenever I like
13:24I thought I'd do that
13:25Eden's just having a quick sleep
13:30Mate, I know you're going to probably do this on your own
13:32But you don't
13:33You know
13:35We're all here for you
13:36The whole community
13:36We're here for you
13:37Thank you very much
13:39But I don't think there's anything anyone can do to help
13:41Unless they know what it's like to have what Eden has
13:45Surely there's someone else going through what you're going through that you can talk to
13:50You've got a support group for everything these days
13:54I'll put the kettle on
13:55You got any biscuits?
14:04It's okay, I'm not going to bite your head off
14:07I'm sorry I was a bit hard on John back there
14:12JP's tough enough
14:16And none of this was his fault
14:18Yeah, I know
14:20It's actually all my fault
14:22There's no way that's true
14:23No, it is
14:24I pushed Zane too far
14:26And now this has happened
14:28No, Maz
14:31Zane
14:32Always spoke so highly of you
14:36He was grateful for everything that you had done for him
14:40I encouraged Zane to reach out to his victim
14:43Because I thought it would fix things
14:45And then it all blew up
14:47And Zane couldn't handle it
14:48And now he's lashed out
14:51I reckon he's been planning to do something like this for a while
14:55Did he tell you that?
14:56Not in so many words
14:57So he was struggling
14:59I think all of it just got way too much for him
15:02It's just so sad
15:05Zane never gave himself a real chance
15:10Thanks
15:10I'm surprised she's not here
15:12Well, she's probably on her break
15:14I just spoke to the casual and apparently she's been gone for a couple of hours
15:17Nothing's happened
15:19Hey!
15:20Hey, welcome back
15:22Thank you
15:23I was just about to text you
15:24You haven't seen Marilyn, have you?
15:26She's at the police station
15:28What?
15:28What happened?
15:29No, no, no, she's fine
15:30It's just that young Zane got himself into a fair bit of strife
15:33That's nothing to do with here
15:35As far as I know, everything here's fine
15:37So, what has he done?
15:39How much time have you got?
15:43I know you're just doing your job
15:44I'm not here to argue
15:46I only ever wanted the best for him
15:48I know
15:49He's lucky to have you on his side
15:53Can I just see him one more time?
15:56Transfer van will be here any minute
15:58So, you won't have long
15:59Oh, thank you
16:03You have a visitor
16:08Hey
16:14You don't need to be here, okay?
16:17Legal Aid, they got me a lawyer
16:18There's actually nothing for us to talk about
16:22I'm sorry, this is where we ended up
16:24No, you don't need to apologise
16:26It's okay
16:30I think I've finally worked out why you've done this
16:35I'm sorry
16:37I couldn't help you believe in yourself
16:49I thought that when I got out, you know, everything would be okay
16:57I don't know how to be free
17:00Okay?
17:03I don't know who I am
17:05I'm so sorry I failed you
17:07You know, you haven't failed me
17:10Okay?
17:11You've done more for me than anyone in my entire life
17:14Okay?
17:17I'll never forget you, Miss James
17:20This is just a setback
17:22You know, next time it'll be different
17:24And then I'll still write to you
17:26And then I'll still write to you
17:26No, no
17:26I don't think that's a good idea
17:29Okay, and I
17:31I don't think there's going to be a next time either
17:34I
17:36Sorry, Elia
17:37I'm sorry
17:37So, time to go
17:39Yeah, let's do this
17:53Bye, Miss Chambers
17:57Goodbye, Saint
18:17Pick me up when I was heading for the ground
18:24Gave me purpose when I lost the one I found
18:31You helped me see my better side
18:35I thought it didn't stick around
18:38Oh, your voice has been the sweetest kind of sound
18:45When I broke apart, you put me back into it
18:52Never saw the light until I first saw you
19:00Every day that we've seen together
19:03All that we've been
19:07There is nothing else that I still do
19:14It's a way that you still tell me that you love me
19:21It's the same way that you did when you said I do
19:28After all the things I've said
19:32I will say it all again
19:36Darling, you are everything
19:41Great
19:41All right, well, take a seat and your food will be out shortly
19:44Thank you
19:45Thank you
19:48Hi
19:50Lovely to see you
19:52Hi
19:53Aw, how was your holiday?
19:55Tell me all about it, I don't want to hear you
19:57No, we know what happens
19:59Yeah, well, no one wants to talk about that when they've just come back from their holidays
20:03You don't have to put on a bright face for us
20:05So he's actually gone?
20:06Tell me
20:08Yeah
20:09Yeah, I was there when he left
20:11Why don't you just go home?
20:13I don't know, I'm rostered on
20:14You have had a stressful day, we can manage
20:16All right, Marilyn, no ifs, no buts, you're not needed here, let's go
20:20I am fine to work, so please let me do this
20:24All right, for sure
20:26Yes, I'm sure, I'm sure
20:28So, um, I'll just put these down
20:30If you need a minute
20:41How's it?
20:51She feels a bit more settled after her and Cass
20:54She talks about, you know, what's going to happen if she doesn't get better
20:56Come, Cass, take that
21:01Look at this, this is a good story, she's surviving
21:04Good for her, it doesn't mean that I will, does it?
21:06She's absolutely fixated on making plans when she dies
21:08I mean, if she's breathing, there's a chance she can pull through, right?
21:11There are some posts from people who have been cured
21:13I mean, you're just like Cass, you're only seeing what you want to see
