Chris' Story - (Part 205-210)
Transcript
00:00:00Oh, this is hopeless.
00:00:03How am I supposed to fit everything into one tiny bag?
00:00:06I know. It's outrageous.
00:00:08Hey, I was thinking, there's not much time,
00:00:10but we should have a little send-off or something.
00:00:12What's your schedule?
00:00:13Oh, I have a flight to Sydney tonight
00:00:15and then my connecting one to Paris in the morning.
00:00:18This is not working.
00:00:20Remember, you are going to Paris, the fashion capital of the world.
00:00:24Hmm. Good point.
00:00:27I... might lose a pair of jeans.
00:00:30OK, so the plan is to stay with Summer, yep?
00:00:34Hope she's got a nice big place.
00:00:36Hope so.
00:00:37She's already gone all control freaky on me.
00:00:40If you'll excuse me, I've got to go and buy some champagne.
00:00:43Ooh, très bien.
00:00:45So, do you think Andrew will go with you?
00:00:48I hope so.
00:00:50Doesn't mean he has to leave Paul, though.
00:00:52Oh, well, it's not going to be an easy thing, is it?
00:00:55Speaking of, can you make sure he doesn't get his grubby hands
00:00:57on that condolence book?
00:00:58Yeah, sure, I'll drop it off to Elaine tomorrow.
00:01:01Oh!
00:01:03Voila!
00:01:05Well done, you.
00:01:07Oh, my God, shoes! Oh!
00:01:11Ah, he's here right now, actually. I'll call you back. Bye.
00:01:14Did you get the book from the bar?
00:01:16Hey, Dad, I've been thinking.
00:01:17Well, congratulations. That must have hurt.
00:01:19That's not what I asked, Dad.
00:01:21Elaine's son is dead.
00:01:23Dad, she is in a wheelchair with massive medical expenses.
00:01:27Your point being?
00:01:28Dad, come on, it doesn't feel right
00:01:29asking her to take such a cheap settlement.
00:01:32Oh, and 200 grand is just pocket money to you, is it?
00:01:35No, Dad, that's not what I'm saying.
00:01:36Would you prefer that we lose Lassiter's?
00:01:38Would that make you feel better? No.
00:01:39Or lose the house? Be made bankrupt?
00:01:40Dad, of course not. Right, well, that is settled.
00:01:44Now, the condolence book, please.
00:01:47I didn't get it.
00:01:48Oh!
00:01:50I asked you to do one simple thing
00:01:52and you can't even get that right.
00:01:53Natasha refused to hand it over.
00:01:55I think she did make the right call.
00:01:56Oh, you know, I'm getting a wee bit tired
00:01:59of Natasha and her opinions.
00:02:00Yeah, well, lucky for you she's leaving.
00:02:03Leaving?
00:02:04Yep. Going overseas.
00:02:07Well, good. The sooner she goes,
00:02:08the sooner you can focus on what I tell you to do.
00:02:16I wouldn't suggest going with that mob again.
00:02:18Oh, yeah?
00:02:19The new guy they've got working in spare parts is dodgy as.
00:02:22Can you believe he tried to tell me
00:02:23that the no-name brands are just as good?
00:02:25I still figured you'd want the real deal.
00:02:28Well, you figured right.
00:02:29Can't afford to cut corners, especially not in this job.
00:02:32He did throw in a freebie, though.
00:02:34What kind of freebie?
00:02:35The kind that brightens up your day.
00:02:37Ah, no way, mate. Not in this workshop.
00:02:40Um, I guess your girlfriend wouldn't like it.
00:02:43No, well, she definitely wouldn't appreciate it,
00:02:44but that's not the problem.
00:02:45Then what is?
00:02:47Well, apart from it being extremely tacky,
00:02:48it's illegal to have stuff like this on display.
00:02:51Look, mate, I'm a bit under the pump. Chris is on break.
00:02:53Can you head out and start washing those cars?
00:02:54Yeah, sure.
00:03:08Seriously, how many of those have you had?
00:03:11I'm depressed.
00:03:13Oh, I know I've said it a million times,
00:03:14but I'm really gonna miss you.
00:03:15Don't.
00:03:17Mate, we are seriously out of tissues.
00:03:19Oh.
00:03:24Hey, can I come in?
00:03:26Depends.
00:03:27Has Paul sent you to do his dirty work?
00:03:30No, that's not why I'm here.
00:03:32How could you do this without talking to me first?
00:03:35Because I knew you'd try and talk me out of it.
00:03:36Well, yeah.
00:03:38Plus, I couldn't trust you not to blab to Uncle Paul.
00:03:40Yeah, he's gonna freak out, by the way.
00:03:43Well, anyway, Sydney's not that far away.
00:03:45It's not like it's New York or anything.
00:03:47Yet.
00:03:48And this school is perfect for me.
00:03:50It's exactly where I need to be.
00:03:53Actually, maybe I could apply for a transfer or something.
00:03:55No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:57Oh, come on, Kate. You know what happened last time?
00:03:59We ended up hating each other.
00:04:02Anyway, you're happy here.
00:04:04You've got work, your mates, Uncle Paul.
00:04:08Hmm.
00:04:09This is something I need to do on my own.
00:04:13Why do you have to be so independent?
00:04:16We can video chat every night.
00:04:18Oh, and talk like we always do.
00:04:20Yeah, except I know what you're like.
00:04:21You start hanging around all those muso friends and just forget about me.
00:04:25Yeah, but one of them will be my sister.
00:04:31Please.
00:04:32Please, Kate.
00:04:34This is something I really want.
00:04:39There's nothing I can say that'll change your mind.
00:04:46OK, fine. You can go.
00:04:48You can go, but I want updates daily, OK?
00:04:51And I want Harry to call me.
00:04:54Yeah, thank you so much.
00:04:56Oh, yeah, one more thing.
00:04:58Could you please come with me to tell Uncle Paul?
00:05:04I didn't give my consent.
00:05:06Actually, you did.
00:05:08The permission slip you signed wasn't for an excursion to Canberra.
00:05:11It was the enrolment form.
00:05:13Oh, really? So, one, very, very sneaky, and two, illegal.
00:05:16That's all right. Easily fixed.
00:05:18Wait, what are you doing?
00:05:19I'm just gonna phone the school and tell them the truth.
00:05:21No, you can't.
00:05:23As your guardian, I'll think you'll find out again.
00:05:25But Harry said yes, and so did Kate.
00:05:26It is not up to Harry or Kate.
00:05:28You can't stop me. I'll run away.
00:05:30OK, well, both of you just stop.
00:05:31She's clearly very determined to go one way or the other.
00:05:33Kate, I didn't give my permission.
00:05:35If you force her to stay here, Paul, she's never gonna forgive you.
00:05:37Is that what you want?
00:05:40Please, Uncle Paul.
00:05:42I'll study and practise hard and get good grades.
00:05:48Oh, let me guess.
00:05:49You've decided to chuck your life away
00:05:51and trot around the globe, have you?
00:05:53Yep, I'm going to Paris for cash.
00:05:54Really? That's what I need to do.
00:05:56And just how are you planning on funding this little romantic getaway?
00:06:00Cos European holidays don't exactly come cheap.
00:06:02We've both got savings, and obviously we'll get work visas.
00:06:05I'm hoping that you'll buy my half share of Charlies.
00:06:07Oh, we?
00:06:08Yeah. It's a good investment, and you know it is.
00:06:11Oh, I've just got that kind of cash lying around, have I?
00:06:14It's funny, you can find it when you need it, though.
00:06:19I want out, Dad.
00:06:20No, I can't do this anymore.
00:06:28Oh, just do what you want.
00:06:29Both of you. I don't care anymore.
00:06:38More bills.
00:06:39Do they ever stop?
00:06:48Just these things?
00:06:49Uh, 350.
00:06:52Hey, Sonny, how's Georgia doing?
00:06:54Good.
00:06:55How's your mum?
00:06:56Good.
00:06:57How's your dad?
00:06:58Good.
00:06:59How's your mum?
00:07:00Good.
00:07:01How's your dad?
00:07:02Good.
00:07:03How's your mum?
00:07:04Good.
00:07:06How's your dad?
00:07:07Good.
00:07:08Really?
00:07:09Yeah, well, it hasn't been easy, but she's, um, she's getting there.
00:07:12She's feeling a lot better about it, so...
00:07:15Well, great. Tell her I said hi.
00:07:16Actually, on second thought, probably don't.
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:20OK.
00:07:23That's funny.
00:07:24She was in here earlier. She ate three brownies.
00:07:27Yeah, well, I might have bent the truth a bit.
00:07:30I don't take you for a white-liar type of person.
00:07:33Oh, I'm not.
00:07:34I'm normally...
00:07:35Two for 20.
00:07:36If it doesn't hurt, and it's for a good reason, then...
00:07:40Like protecting someone's feelings.
00:07:42Exactly.
00:07:47Do you want a bag?
00:07:48No, no. I'll see you later.
00:07:49See you.
00:08:01Oh, no, no, no. Lower.
00:08:03Lower?
00:08:04No, no, no, no. A bit lower.
00:08:08Lower.
00:08:12OK, all right. I haven't left yet.
00:08:14Oh, sorry.
00:08:16I'm not.
00:08:18So, you all sorted?
00:08:20Almost.
00:08:21Just emailing Dad to let him know that I might visit him and Amelia in Serbia.
00:08:25Oh, are you ready for that?
00:08:27Who knows?
00:08:28But after all the stuff that Andrew's been through with Paul,
00:08:31I figure I might as well make the same effort with my own dad.
00:08:33I think that's great. Michael will be thrilled to see you.
00:08:36Yeah. Life's too short to hold a grudge.
00:08:38I think this calls for a glass of the fizzy stuff.
00:08:40Oh, yes, I'll get the glasses.
00:08:42Hey, I was beginning to think you'd change your mind.
00:08:45No. No going back now.
00:08:47So, where should we put our bags?
00:08:49Oh, just put them in the corner.
00:08:51Is that all you're taking?
00:08:53Yeah. Why?
00:08:55No reason.
00:08:57How's everything at home?
00:08:59Uh...
00:09:01Tense.
00:09:02Yeah, Uncle Paul's in total shutdown.
00:09:04Yeah, well, I suppose that's understandable, isn't it?
00:09:06Come on, Soph, we'll get you a lemonade.
00:09:09You know you didn't have to come tonight.
00:09:12Could have waited till later.
00:09:13I've been putting things off my entire life for my dad.
00:09:16Not anymore.
00:09:17My life, I'm gonna live it my way.
00:09:19Oh, I am proud of you.
00:09:21I hope you guys aren't gonna be doing that all the way to Sydney.
00:09:24Well, you chose to be on the same flight as us.
00:09:27Well, I've gotta go before Uncle Paul changes his mind.
00:09:29Well, then, you better get used to it, then.
00:09:32Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. Bit of decorum, please.
00:09:34Oh, look who's talking.
00:09:36Ha, ha. Here we go.
00:09:38A toast.
00:09:39To, uh...
00:09:40To new beginnings.
00:09:42To new beginnings.
00:09:52OK, well, I'm going now.
00:09:55Mm-hm.
00:09:56Are you coming?
00:09:58Are you sure?
00:09:59Absolutely.
00:10:01You do realise that Sophie and Andrew leaving
00:10:03doesn't mean they don't still love you.
00:10:05Who knows when you're gonna see them again?
00:10:07Especially Andrew. He could be gone for months, years, even.
00:10:12Look, Paul, I know that you're hurt and...
00:10:16you know, you're angry and you feel let down.
00:10:19But I also know how much you love them.
00:10:23And if you're gonna let them sit on that plane without knowing that,
00:10:26then you are gonna regret it for the rest of your life.
00:10:32Fine. You're stubborn.
00:10:35Actually, no, you know what? You really need to hear this.
00:10:38Your son feels like a failure.
00:10:41He feels like no matter what he does,
00:10:43he can't live up to your expectations.
00:10:45Is that what you want?
00:10:47For him to leave feeling like a loser?
00:10:49Like he can't live up to this great Robinson family name?
00:10:57You know what? Whatever.
00:10:58I'm gonna go and say goodbye. You can do whatever you want.
00:11:02Bye.
00:11:12Well, can't you just come just for a little while?
00:11:16Yeah, your dad can come too.
00:11:20OK, sure, I understand.
00:11:22Mate, I'm serious.
00:11:24My life would have been torture without you and Tash and Summer.
00:11:29You're the best mate a guy could have.
00:11:31And I'm a better person for knowing you.
00:11:32Ha!
00:11:34I mean that, though.
00:11:38You're a stuffy dad.
00:11:42I love you, man.
00:11:45I love you too.
00:11:47Hey, see that?
00:11:49That's your pickles. Don't ever think that I will forget about that.
00:11:52Hot snags coming through!
00:11:53Oh, don't mind if I do.
00:11:55Soph? Sausage?
00:11:57Yeah, sure, I'll see you in a little bit.
00:12:00Uh, save me one. I'll just... I'll be back in a tick.
00:12:02Where are you going?
00:12:03Gotta go say goodbye to my friends.
00:12:05Well, just in case I'm not here when you get back.
00:12:07You look after yourself, all right?
00:12:10Mate, you too.
00:12:11And don't forget, if you're ever, like, stressed about anything,
00:12:14just pick up the phone.
00:12:15Yeah, just don't reverse the charges, all right?
00:12:18Knock them dead, kiddo.
00:12:19You bet.
00:12:23Where's Dad?
00:12:25I'm sorry.
00:12:30LUCKY
00:12:33Lucky one of us is going minimal.
00:12:35Exactly.
00:12:36The less you pack, the more I have to buy.
00:12:39Oh, come here.
00:12:40You call me the second you land, OK?
00:12:43Yeah, I will, and look, thank you,
00:12:45cos if it wasn't for you, Uncle Paul might have never let me go.
00:12:47Oh, what is this for, hey?
00:12:50I just wish that I, um, could have been a little bit more convincing.
00:12:57You know what he's like. He'll come around.
00:13:00No, it doesn't matter. I'm about to have the time of my life, right?
00:13:03Definitely.
00:13:05All right, well, you'd better go. You don't want to miss your flight.
00:13:08Oh, have fun, OK?
00:13:09Andrew!
00:13:30Oh, you would never be a disappointment to me, son, never.
00:13:36If anything, it's been the other way round.
00:13:42The reason I've been so hard on you is because I love you, son.
00:13:46I just want the best for you.
00:13:48I know.
00:13:50I'm still going, though.
00:13:53Unlike me, when I was your age.
00:13:56Oh, yeah.
00:13:58Just in case.
00:14:00No, I don't need it.
00:14:01You sure?
00:14:03For emergencies.
00:14:06Goodbye, Natasha.
00:14:08Just once.
00:14:10Do you think you could call me Tash, like everybody else?
00:14:13Why would I do that?
00:14:15When Natasha is so much more beautiful?
00:14:18Now he tells me.
00:14:21So, you take care, all right?
00:14:23Both of you.
00:14:25Sophie, get out of that cab.
00:14:27No, you can't stop me. I have to do this for myself.
00:14:35I couldn't let you go without saying goodbye.
00:14:39I love you.
00:14:41I love you, too, darling.
00:14:45Thank you. Get out of here, honey.
00:14:46Yeah, yeah.
00:14:47I love you.
00:14:54First stop, Sydney.
00:14:56And Paris, France.
00:15:00Bye.
00:15:18Anything?
00:15:21No.
00:15:25Oh, how about this one?
00:15:27Not a thing.
00:15:31Now we're talking.
00:15:34Oh, hang on.
00:15:37Nothing.
00:15:39What, are you kidding me?
00:15:40Sorry, mate. It's true.
00:15:41I never thought I'd hear you on that one.
00:15:43I'm sorry.
00:15:44I'm sorry.
00:15:45I'm sorry.
00:15:46I never thought I'd hear you on that one.
00:15:50Whoa.
00:15:52Dude, you really need to see this.
00:15:53Forget it. You're not going to turn me.
00:15:55No, no, no, dude. You really need to see this one.
00:16:05Oh, my God.
00:16:06Is that...?
00:16:07Yeah, a few years younger, maybe.
00:16:09Now, that's Vanessa, 100%.
00:16:12No, the Vanessa we know
00:16:13would not take her gear off for a magazine like this.
00:16:17Well, she did.
00:16:25Well, maybe we should check again.
00:16:27Just to be sure.
00:16:28It was pretty dark in here last night.
00:16:35So, go on.
00:16:36Me?
00:16:37Yeah, it's less creepy if you do it.
00:16:38She's my boss's girlfriend. Pretty sure it isn't.
00:16:41Morning.
00:16:43Oh, you two look hard at work.
00:16:44I'm not open yet.
00:16:46Yeah, well, I am, and that prodo needs to be done by 11.
00:16:48Got it. Just waiting for this to kick in first.
00:16:50Hmm, thanks for getting me one.
00:16:56Lost something?
00:16:57Yeah, that mag that Mason bought in.
00:17:00I thought I left it here.
00:17:02Haven't seen it.
00:17:03Me either.
00:17:04Why?
00:17:05Oh, I had an interesting article on Triumphs I wanted to read.
00:17:07Oh, yeah. I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff in there.
00:17:09Yeah.
00:17:11Mate, have you seen my girlfriend?
00:17:12Yes.
00:17:13So, why would I want to look through a magazine of random girls
00:17:15when I've got her?
00:17:16Good point.
00:17:17I guess I'll go get myself a coffee.
00:17:19Let me know if it turns up.
00:17:20Will do.
00:17:23He has no idea.
00:17:25If it really is her, he's gonna flip.
00:17:27Remember Amelia?
00:17:32Hey, guys.
00:17:34Told you we should have gone to the library.
00:17:36Yeah, I know.
00:17:37But I'm not going.
00:17:39Told you we should have gone to Charlie's.
00:17:41We should just ask if it's her.
00:17:43How's that gonna go?
00:17:44Hey, last night we looked at a sleazy magazine and we thought of you.
00:17:47Why would you ever say it like that?
00:17:49No matter how we say it,
00:17:50that's exactly what it's gonna sound like to Vanessa.
00:17:53Are you guys here to order brunch or put a hit out on someone?
00:17:58I was joking, but now I'm beginning to worry.
00:18:01Brunch.
00:18:02So, which is it?
00:18:04Probably just the coffee.
00:18:05Brunch.
00:18:06Coffee's will be fine.
00:18:07OK.
00:18:08But in my opinion, you both could do with a herbal tea.
00:18:12Didn't Lucas mention you have lots of cousins or something?
00:18:15Yeah, girl-type cousins.
00:18:17Yeah, most of them live here, except for Carla.
00:18:19She's been in Europe for a while now.
00:18:21How old's Carla?
00:18:23Um, 20, 21.
00:18:25Why the interest?
00:18:27Oh, he was hoping, um, if she ever visits, he could get an introduction.
00:18:31You don't want to take my little cousin out on a blind date.
00:18:33Oh, if she looks anything like you, absolutely.
00:18:35Actually, she takes after a Sicilian, Nonna.
00:18:37Redhead.
00:18:39I'll let you know if she's ever in town.
00:18:42Did you guys want to order something else?
00:18:43No. We'll grab a table.
00:18:46Just a minute.
00:18:54Hi.
00:19:07Hi.
00:19:26Ollie.
00:19:28Is this why you were acting so strange this morning?
00:19:32Um...
00:19:34Yeah, sorry.
00:19:36So what happened? You saw this and you thought you'd come and gawk at me?
00:19:39No, no, no. We just wanted to make sure it was really you or not.
00:19:43Yeah, we hardly even looked at it, I swear.
00:19:45Why didn't you just ask me?
00:19:46Because most women would slap you in the face for asking something like that.
00:19:49So it is you, then?
00:19:51It was a long time ago.
00:19:53So I'm guessing Lucas doesn't hold me at it.
00:19:55No.
00:19:57So what are you gonna tell him?
00:19:58The truth.
00:19:59You sure that's a good idea?
00:20:00Why not?
00:20:01How much has he told you about his ex-girlfriend?
00:20:04Which one?
00:20:05Amelia.
00:20:06Is she the witch that ran off with his best friend?
00:20:08Yeah, yeah, that would be the one.
00:20:10He found out that she posed in some photos for an arty magazine
00:20:13and things got pretty complicated.
00:20:15How complicated?
00:20:16They almost broke up.
00:20:19But it could be different this time.
00:20:21Yeah, also, he might not even see it.
00:20:23Yeah, maybe.
00:20:24What?
00:20:26Well, if he does find out,
00:20:28it's probably best coming from you than some random mechanic.
00:20:32Yeah, or a sleazy customer.
00:20:36Phew.
00:20:38All good.
00:20:39All right, mate. See you then.
00:21:00Hello, you. I didn't expect a visit today.
00:21:02Oh, I didn't really plan.
00:21:05Oh, that. Sorry, no, I was just reading an article on it.
00:21:10Well, you should probably look at page 127.
00:21:15How do you know what's on page anything?
00:21:17Just look at it.
00:21:18OK.
00:21:28Is that...?
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:33Right.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:35When you said you'd done some modelling,
00:21:37I didn't think you meant anything like this.
00:21:40Look, it was a one-off.
00:21:41I was 21 and desperate for money.
00:21:44This stupid job came up overseas
00:21:45and I didn't even realise they'd reprinted it
00:21:47until I got a check in the mail.
00:21:49And then Chris and Kyle saw it and they...
00:21:52What? Hey.
00:21:53Kyle and Chris have seen this?
00:21:55They told me what happened with you and Amelia and...
00:21:57Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's OK.
00:21:59It's OK. It's OK. It's OK.
00:22:02Look, I admit I didn't handle the Amelia thing well.
00:22:06To be honest, I'm not too stoked about this, but...
00:22:09I love you.
00:22:12I'm not going to judge you for something you did when you were 21.
00:22:14I mean, how much of a tool would that make me?
00:22:17After all the stupid things I've done in my life,
00:22:20I still can't believe that you want anything to do with me.
00:22:23This would be why.
00:22:27So, how much was the check?
00:22:32300 bucks.
00:22:34$300?
00:22:37You ever thought about doing any more modelling?
00:22:39I was just asking.
00:22:41So, this is when you were 21, huh?
00:22:43Yeah. Give it here.
00:22:53Pappus, what's going on?
00:22:55I was changing the oil filter.
00:22:56Are you keen to go to Charlie's for a beer after work?
00:22:58Ooh, that does sound good. Excellent.
00:23:01I'll see you later.
00:23:07Hey. Hey.
00:23:10What's that? Ah, it's supplies.
00:23:12We're not low on anything.
00:23:14Yeah, just leave it, mate.
00:23:22Oh, you're not serious.
00:23:24How many magazines did you get?
00:23:26How much did I set you back?
00:23:28Vanessa is very upset about the photo.
00:23:29What do you mean, by the way?
00:23:31If I can stop people around here seeing it, I will.
00:23:34That's what you do when you're in an adult relationship.
00:23:37So, you're doing this to protect Vanessa?
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:40Not because you don't want people perving on the mother of your child?
00:23:43You're a bigger man than I, old boy.
00:23:46I'm not old.
00:23:50Does Lucas know about this?
00:23:52Yes. He was really good about it.
00:23:54Good? Good?
00:23:56Good. He's finally grown up.
00:23:59Do you regret it?
00:24:02It just... It seemed like it was the only option at the time.
00:24:04The only option for what?
00:24:07I needed the money.
00:24:09You know, it was a really difficult time in my life,
00:24:11and some heavy things happened, but...
00:24:16I'd rather not think about it. Anyway, do you know,
00:24:18this is the longest you've gone without showing me a photo of Nell?
00:24:20Mm.
00:24:22Well, speaking of topless shots,
00:24:23I got a really good one of her in the bath this morning.
00:24:26I'll show you. I'll show you.
00:24:29Where is it?
00:24:36Hey, I thought you were in bed.
00:24:37Night shift.
00:24:39I thought you work yesterday.
00:24:41Yep. And I got the blisters to prove it.
00:24:45I talk on a few extra shifts. It is not a big deal.
00:24:48No, you're running yourself into the ground, Georgie girl.
00:24:50I am keeping busy, getting on with things.
00:24:53Well, you know that if you ever need to talk about anything life...
00:24:56Thank you, but there's really nothing to say.
00:25:01Are you two off to the nursery?
00:25:02Oh, no. No, no, no. We've got a mother's group,
00:25:05and then I've got a G.A. meeting with Lucas,
00:25:06and it's cleaned the venue, and I just can't find the address anywhere.
00:25:11Oi!
00:25:12Oh! Baby brain strikes again. Why didn't you remind me?
00:25:16Can we just not make a big deal about that?
00:25:17I'm sorry. Nobody in this house is gonna forget their birthday.
00:25:20Well, it's not like it's today.
00:25:21Yeah, no, but it's the birthday week.
00:25:23You should celebrate.
00:25:25I really don't feel up for partying.
00:25:26Well, no. You can do something here. You can invite a few people over.
00:25:29Or maybe just us.
00:25:31Yeah. All right. Whatever the birthday girl wants.
00:25:33Sounds good.
00:25:34OK. Now, you need to get some sleep,
00:25:37and I promise I will not bring this child back for at least three hours.
00:25:40Thank you. Love yous.
00:25:42Bye. Bye.
00:25:56There we go.
00:25:57What's this?
00:25:59I need those signed by everybody
00:26:00who was working on the day of the Rebecki wedding.
00:26:02You mean the day of the explosion?
00:26:04I need everybody to agree in writing
00:26:07that moving the wedding from the ballroom to the marquee
00:26:09was a smooth operation and all procedures were carried out.
00:26:12Problem?
00:26:14Mr Robinson, we don't even have procedures for doing a wedding in a marquee.
00:26:19We had no time to plan. It was chaos.
00:26:21Yeah, sure. Look, moving the wedding was a last-minute thing,
00:26:24but I need to know that nothing was overlooked.
00:26:27I can ask people to sign, but we both know it's not true.
00:26:32Tony, you're the hotel manager. Just get the signatures.
00:26:40I need a word.
00:26:42I'm in the middle of a court case. Is this important?
00:26:44Yes. It's about the bar. It's a shambles.
00:26:46The Rebecki wedding is a shambles.
00:26:48Is this important?
00:26:50Yes. It's about the bar. It's a shambles.
00:26:52The rosters haven't been done, and neither has the ordering.
00:26:54Well, who takes care of all of that, then?
00:26:56Well, no one. That's the problem.
00:26:58See, there's no manager now that Andrew's left.
00:27:00And even though it pains me to say it,
00:27:02Tash obviously did more than just chase him around the bar.
00:27:04All right, all right. Well, we'll advertise the position, then.
00:27:06Or you could take the easier option.
00:27:08Hmm?
00:27:10Promote from within.
00:27:12I've been pulling beers for decades.
00:27:14I ran a pub in Frankston.
00:27:16Why? I don't need to hear your resume.
00:27:18Well, I've got some really good ideas for the place.
00:27:21A new menu, special events.
00:27:23You know, I was thinking of a big party for the eclipse.
00:27:25All right, all right. Enough, enough.
00:27:27That mean I've got the job?
00:27:29Means I'll think about it.
00:27:33Tim, so lovely of you to take the time.
00:27:37So I spoke to a colleague in negligence litigation
00:27:40and she thinks we've got a strong case.
00:27:42Let's see.
00:27:44Yeah, so I've got some documents for you to approve
00:27:46to have you listed as part of the action.
00:27:48Actually, there's some papers that I'd like to show you.
00:27:50They're in the pocket.
00:27:52Sure.
00:27:58Mr Collins came to see me.
00:28:00Yeah, Paul's here.
00:28:02Yeah.
00:28:04Mr Collins came to see me.
00:28:06Yeah, Paul's lawyer.
00:28:10Elaine, this is ridiculous.
00:28:12Do you realise if you sign this,
00:28:14you waive all rights to legal action?
00:28:16Return for $200,000.
00:28:18That's nothing in comparison to what we deserve.
00:28:20Are you seriously considering this?
00:28:22The money is guaranteed.
00:28:24But if we win, the payout's gonna be much greater than this.
00:28:26If we lose, we pay costs.
00:28:28Even if it came to that, I'd find a way to cover you.
00:28:30I need to think about my immediate future.
00:28:32I need financial security.
00:28:34Exactly, and how far do you think $200,000's gonna go
00:28:36with your...
00:28:38with your level of care?
00:28:40It won't last.
00:28:42I'm aware of that, thank you.
00:28:44I'm sorry, okay? Of course you are.
00:28:46I need... AJ, I just need certainty.
00:28:48Yeah, and they're offering.
00:28:50That means that they're scared.
00:28:52They don't want to go to court because they know they're gonna lose.
00:28:54And rightfully so.
00:28:56Rhys and Priya, they went to a wedding.
00:28:58It was meant to be a safe, controlled environment.
00:29:00And in a minute, Paul came and he moved it to a mucky in a cup.
00:29:02I really don't want to think about that, Dave.
00:29:04I don't want to either, believe me.
00:29:06But Paul didn't do what he was supposed to do.
00:29:08And because of that,
00:29:10we lost people that we love.
00:29:14What would Rhys want?
00:29:16Would he let Paul get away with this?
00:29:18Because Priya would want me to stick this out.
00:29:20And it's for them, Elaine.
00:29:22As much as us.
00:29:24We can't let this go.
00:29:30Hey.
00:29:32I didn't expect to see you working today.
00:29:34Oh, I'm not. I just came in to do some baking.
00:29:36I'm gonna see Elaine later.
00:29:38I thought I'd take her something.
00:29:40Oh, that's so nice that you keep visiting her.
00:29:42It still feels like we're connected.
00:29:44Of course.
00:29:46To be honest, it's a distraction.
00:29:48It's Patrick's heart valve surgery.
00:29:50The big one.
00:29:52Yes, but, you know, once he gets through this...
00:29:54It'll all be over.
00:29:56Yes, and that's something to look forward to.
00:29:58Every time I think about them hooking him up to those machines...
00:30:00No, but after this, after this,
00:30:02you'll finally get to live a normal life.
00:30:04Believe me, I dream about it all the time.
00:30:06Just the everyday stuff, you know?
00:30:08Taking him shopping, trips to the park.
00:30:10Yeah, in a short time,
00:30:12you and Luke will get to do that,
00:30:14and you will love it.
00:30:16Go on, wake her up.
00:30:18Thank you.
00:30:20Jellyfish.
00:30:22Oh, so beautiful.
00:30:24Mm-hmm.
00:30:28Thank you.
00:30:34You're a class act, aren't you?
00:30:36Eh? Trying to con an invalid?
00:30:38That's a new low even for you.
00:30:40What do you want?
00:30:42I want you to know what you offered Elaine Lawson's an insult.
00:30:44I thought it was generous.
00:30:46Generous how? She's a quadriplegic,
00:30:48and you took away her only son.
00:30:50I didn't take away anyone.
00:30:52Yeah? If you're making offers like this,
00:30:54you know you're in trouble, Paul.
00:30:56I'm a woman who's been affected by a very unfortunate accident.
00:30:58Oh, please, spare me.
00:31:00Hey, I'm just looking after a welfare,
00:31:02not filling her head with ridiculous ideas like you are.
00:31:04Oh, welfare, right.
00:31:06So your help just happens to involve
00:31:08waiving all rights to sue Lassiter's.
00:31:10Wow.
00:31:12She won't sign, Paul.
00:31:14I'd be happy to make you the same offer.
00:31:16Well, think about it.
00:31:18It's better than making a fool of yourself in court
00:31:20and going bankrupt, isn't it?
00:31:22What world do you live in, Paul?
00:31:24You think you can destroy someone's life,
00:31:26take away the people they love,
00:31:28and then get away with it.
00:31:30But not this time.
00:31:32Elaine won't sign,
00:31:34and we'll see you in court.
00:31:44Finally off the phone, I see.
00:31:46I'm busy.
00:31:48We hadn't finished our conversation.
00:31:50Yes, we did.
00:31:52I said I'd think about it.
00:31:54End of conversation.
00:31:56Well, I got together a list of references,
00:31:58thought it might help you make up your mind.
00:32:00I'll give it due consideration.
00:32:02Oh, no, you should ring them.
00:32:04You'll find that I'm very highly regarded.
00:32:06Oh, yes, I'm sure you were the best thing that ever hit Frankston.
00:32:08People like me around here, too.
00:32:10I'm very personable.
00:32:12Really? If you say so.
00:32:14Is there anything else I can do to persuade you?
00:32:16Yes, leave me in peace, will you?
00:32:18Hang on a second.
00:32:20You know Elaine Lawson, don't you?
00:32:22Yes, I wouldn't say we were the best of friends.
00:32:24No, but you did share a house with her son.
00:32:26Oh, I had a couple of conversations with her
00:32:28about Rhys on the phone.
00:32:30Good, good. I want you to have a word with her.
00:32:32Why?
00:32:34Well, I made her an offer, you know,
00:32:36a settlement in relation to the accident,
00:32:38and it would be a very, very good outcome for her.
00:32:40And for you, for that matter.
00:32:42You want me to talk her into it?
00:32:44No, no, I want you to help her make the right decision.
00:32:46See, she's got A.J. filling her head
00:32:48with all sorts of rubbish.
00:32:50I don't know how a person can possibly move on
00:32:52with this thing being dragged up.
00:32:54So, you do that.
00:32:56The job's yours.
00:32:58If you make me manager, I will give you my all
00:33:00because I'm a good worker.
00:33:02But I will never be your little errand boy, ever.
00:33:05You want to negotiate with Elaine Lawson,
00:33:07do it yourself.
00:33:09Pathetic.
00:33:12Shit.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:28Hi.
00:33:30Where were you off to?
00:33:32Just picked up next to your shift.
00:33:34I thought you'd be sleeping all day.
00:33:36No, I had a couple of hours. I'm good to go.
00:33:38Don't stress. This is pretty normal for nurses.
00:33:40I feel so tired.
00:33:42Strong latte will sort me out.
00:33:44I'll see you later.
00:33:46Georgia, wait. Hey, hey.
00:33:48You're starting to worry me.
00:33:50I told you I'm just keeping busy.
00:33:52You're pushing yourself too far.
00:33:54I'm fine. This is just how I'm dealing with things.
00:33:57Seriously, I'm gonna be late.
00:34:00Bye.
00:34:06Lucas said he's got a few people interested in the car.
00:34:08Tell him I'm so grateful.
00:34:10You have both been so kind.
00:34:12It's no trouble at all.
00:34:15You don't have to keep coming, you know.
00:34:18I would understand if you needed to move on.
00:34:20Rhys was important to me.
00:34:22And meeting you was a bonus.
00:34:24So you're stuck with me. I'm sorry.
00:34:26Actually, I'm thinking about a bit of a change.
00:34:29Yeah?
00:34:31There's an assisted living facility in Tweed Heads near my sister.
00:34:34And a place has opened up.
00:34:36Oh, that's great, but I'll miss you.
00:34:39Are you sure it's what you want?
00:34:41Well, I'll have to accept some money from Paul Robinson to pay for it.
00:34:45He's made me an offer.
00:34:47Oh, really?
00:34:49Are you comfortable with the amount?
00:34:51I'm not in any position to bargain.
00:34:53But accepting will mean giving up the joint action with AJ.
00:34:56I don't think he'll be very happy about that.
00:34:58Is he pressuring you as well?
00:35:00They both are. But I need to think about my future.
00:35:02My sister is the only family I have.
00:35:04Yeah, of course you do. You have to do what's best for you,
00:35:07not what suits somebody else.
00:35:35Oh, Tina?
00:35:37Could you help me with Mrs Fraser's antibiotics when you have a suit?
00:35:41Oh, I've just got to remove some sutures.
00:35:46OK, let's just do it now.
00:35:48Oh, OK.
00:35:51Mrs Fraser, one gram of ampicillin.
00:35:55Hang on.
00:35:57It says Rena Simpson.
00:36:00Oh, well, it can't be.
00:36:02Sorry, it's...
00:36:03Well, it is.
00:36:07Wrong room, wrong patient.
00:36:10That's what happens when you're tired.
00:36:23It was only a matter of time, wasn't it?
00:36:25Sorry?
00:36:26Before you showed up in person. You're disgusting, you know that?
00:36:28All right, get it all out, go on.
00:36:31Hey, don't you pretend to know what this is like for me.
00:36:33I know that you're trying to buy off a defenceless woman.
00:36:36Excuse me?
00:36:37No, I'm not letting you go anywhere near her.
00:36:39Thanks for intervening, Vanessa.
00:36:40Don't you try and take the moral high ground, AJ.
00:36:42You're just as bad, forcing this action on her.
00:36:44Have you ever asked her what she wants?
00:36:46She knows it's the right thing to do.
00:36:47For who? For Elaine or for yourself?
00:36:49Because you need someone to blame.
00:36:51Look, you two can tear each other to pieces all you want,
00:36:53but you're not dragging that poor woman into this.
00:36:55All right, you said your piece, now get out of here.
00:36:57No! She has suffered enough.
00:36:59She has suffered enough, and you're not going to harass her anymore.
00:37:03Now, which one of you is going to be the bigger man and let this go?
00:37:11If you're expecting an answer...
00:37:13No, no, no, listen. I, um...
00:37:16I shouldn't have pressured you in the first place, okay?
00:37:18If you want to take the settlement, you should.
00:37:21Really?
00:37:22Yeah, I mean, you've got to do what's right for you.
00:37:24It's a lot of money, and it means that I'll be near my sister and...
00:37:27Elaine, you don't have to justify it to me. It's okay.
00:37:32Hey, Jay, if I settle, will you still pursue the case?
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:36Hey, Jay, is it really worth it?
00:37:39I've got to fight for Rhys and Priya. They can't fight for themselves.
00:37:42But no amount of money is going to bring them back.
00:37:47This was never about money for me.
00:37:49It was always about justice.
00:37:53Whatever decision you make, I respect, but...
00:37:56my case with Paul, that stands. It's not going anywhere.
00:38:08Oh, that's excellent.
00:38:09All right, well, I'll transfer the funds ASAP.
00:38:12Thanks, Tim. Bye.
00:38:14Whoo! One down, one to go.
00:38:16Well, Elaine's accepted. I've just got to get Kapoor off my back now.
00:38:20And then what? We just crack open the champagne?
00:38:22Kate, I'm not going to be held accountable
00:38:24for something which wasn't my fault.
00:38:25No, I'm not saying that you should.
00:38:27Well, really, what are you saying?
00:38:28Because a little support wouldn't go astray here.
00:38:31Paul, Priya is dead.
00:38:34I know that you cared about her.
00:38:36And all this being angry and business and lawsuits, it's just...
00:38:39I am not the one that started the lawsuits.
00:38:41I'm just saying you need to be careful
00:38:43or you're going to end up a very bitter and lonely old man.
00:38:47Well, fortunately for me, I have no intention of becoming either.
00:38:51Ah, come to sign the papers.
00:38:53No, no, no, I wouldn't make it that easy on you, Paul.
00:38:55Well, it's just, you know, when I heard
00:38:57that you'd given Elaine your blessing to sign away,
00:38:59I thought maybe you'd come to your senses.
00:39:01Let her make her own decision. I'm not going to push her into something.
00:39:05So why are you here?
00:39:07To give you the heads-up. I'm still suing you.
00:39:09Oh, that's a waste of time. I mean, the inquest is going to prove that.
00:39:12Yeah, the preliminary report's going to be out soon
00:39:14and that's going to show your gross negligence
00:39:16led to the deaths of Rhys and my wife.
00:39:18You know what? You really should have taken the money when it was offered
00:39:21because now you're not going to see a cent.
00:39:23Settlement's off the table.
00:39:25You still don't get it, do you?
00:39:27Paul, you could have offered me $1 million, literally,
00:39:30and I wouldn't have taken a cent
00:39:32because I want everyone to know the truth
00:39:34that you're responsible for the accident, and they will.
00:39:37Now, there you go getting ahead of yourself.
00:39:39Yeah, I really hope your insurance is up to date
00:39:41because when that report comes out,
00:39:43it's going to cost you everything.
00:39:46It's going to cost you everything.
00:39:55It's settled. I'll be in Tweed Heads in two weeks.
00:39:58Your sister must be looking forward to having you close.
00:40:01Yes, she is. And so am I.
00:40:05Thank you for everything.
00:40:07If there is anything else I can do, you will call me, right?
00:40:11Actually, there is one thing that I'd like to ask you to do before I leave.
00:40:15Yeah, of course. What is it?
00:40:45Ooh
00:40:57Sleep
00:41:02Deep and long
00:41:08Deep and long
00:41:12Deep and long
00:41:32Smells good.
00:41:35Any coffee?
00:41:36Who are you?
00:41:38Ah, Maddy. Meet Kate.
00:41:41It's Mia.
00:41:43Mia, meet Kate.
00:41:46Listen, you go back upstairs, I'll bring you a coffee, OK?
00:41:55Ah, please explain.
00:41:57Found a new friend?
00:41:59Oh, I forgot to ask her if she had a number.
00:42:01Paul, she's barely older than me.
00:42:03Oh, please, Kate, spare me the self-righteous indignation, would you?
00:42:06This isn't going to make you feel any better, you know.
00:42:09Actually, I feel pretty good.
00:42:10Yeah, for the short term.
00:42:12But you're still going to have to deal with it tomorrow and then the day after that.
00:42:15Paul, why can't you just admit that you're in denial?
00:42:18Don't try and psychoanalyse me.
00:42:20Paul, I can't just sit here and watch you do this.
00:42:23Then don't.
00:42:25Hey, this is my house, my life.
00:42:27And if you don't like it, maybe you could take a leaf out of Andrew and Sophie's book.
00:42:32And clear out. You decide.
00:42:35I think I need to find somewhere else to live.
00:42:39Um, good morning to you too.
00:42:41Sorry, how are you?
00:42:43What happened?
00:42:44It's just, it's Paul.
00:42:46Ever since Priya died, he's just been like a machine.
00:42:48He's really cold.
00:42:50And underneath all that, he's angry as well.
00:42:52He's upset.
00:42:53Yeah, well, of course he is.
00:42:56He cut his arm off before he admitted it, though.
00:43:00He brought a woman home last night.
00:43:02Actually, the word woman is pretty generous.
00:43:04She wasn't much older than I am.
00:43:06He told me if I didn't like it, I should just get out.
00:43:09Well, it's hard to feel sorry for him when he's being a jerk.
00:43:12Yeah, and I don't want to bail on him right now if he needs me,
00:43:15but I don't want to wake up in bimbo central every morning either.
00:43:18God, no.
00:43:19Anyway, how was work?
00:43:21Uh, yeah.
00:43:23Night shift is always a joy.
00:43:25Especially when you're pulling back-to-back shifts.
00:43:28Well, if the work's there...
00:43:31Georgia, you can please don't.
00:43:35OK?
00:43:37All right.
00:43:39Have you tried talking to Paul?
00:43:41How do you think I got my head ripped off this morning?
00:43:45Oh, that was good.
00:43:47Yeah, do you want another one?
00:43:49Uh, yeah, why not?
00:43:51Actually, um, I think I've had enough caffeine for now.
00:43:55I might just go home and try and get some sleep.
00:43:57Really? Are you sure?
00:43:58Yeah, yeah, thanks for keeping me company, though.
00:44:03Georgia.
00:44:04Hey.
00:44:05I haven't seen you around much.
00:44:06Yeah, I've been working.
00:44:07Speaking of which, I should probably get home and try and get some sleep.
00:44:10Maybe you want to catch up for a drink later?
00:44:12Uh, can I get back to you?
00:44:15I've got a bunch of stuff I need to take care of.
00:44:17OK.
00:44:18See ya.
00:44:21Oh, you're putting Rhys's room up for rent.
00:44:23Yeah, can't afford not to.
00:44:25Look, we put it off for as long as we could, but it had to happen sometime.
00:44:28And with a bit of luck, we might actually get some applicants who aren't crazy.
00:44:31What, would I qualify? I mean, am I sane enough?
00:44:34You want to move out of Paul's place?
00:44:36Yeah, well, I'm thinking about it. I mean, I need to talk to him first.
00:44:39Can I get back to you guys?
00:44:41Yeah, sure.
00:44:42Thanks.
00:44:44Um, I might just grab a table outside.
00:44:47Oh, before you go, how's Georgia?
00:44:50Oh, she's OK, I think.
00:44:53I mean, she has a smile on no matter what, so it's pretty hard to tell.
00:44:56Has she said anything to you?
00:44:58She doesn't want to talk about it.
00:45:00She just keeps working and working.
00:45:02It's like she thinks you can just bury it if she pulls enough shifts.
00:45:05Well, if there's anything you can think of that I can do to help,
00:45:08just let me know, OK?
00:45:09Yeah, sure.
00:45:13Page 10. Read it.
00:45:15I already know what it says.
00:45:17No, no, no, go ahead, read it again, just for kicks.
00:45:19AJ, I...
00:45:20Oh, you want to read it? OK.
00:45:22Hand it over.
00:45:25In light of this testimony and other evidence,
00:45:28the preliminary finding is user error
00:45:32due to lack of adequate procedures and training.
00:45:37I'm going to bury you with this.
00:45:39I'm going to pull apart your dodgy empire,
00:45:42brick by brick, piece by piece,
00:45:44until you've got nothing left.
00:45:46Nothing.
00:45:48You really think that I wanted Priya to die, do you?
00:45:51I don't care about anyone or anything except your bottom line.
00:45:54I'm filing suit next week seeking damages of $10 million.
00:45:58No court in Australia is going to award damages like that.
00:46:01I know.
00:46:02And even if they don't,
00:46:04it's going to be in front of the courts for years.
00:46:07How deep do your pockets go, Paul?
00:46:10Hmm?
00:46:22I was hoping you'd be home.
00:46:25Got a bit early for that, don't you think?
00:46:30What's happened?
00:46:32Nothing.
00:46:35OK.
00:46:38I wanted to talk to you about the house.
00:46:43What's this?
00:46:46What does it look like?
00:46:47What's this?
00:46:49What does it look like?
00:46:52Did they release it today?
00:46:55The date on the front cover says.
00:46:59So what does it say?
00:47:01Read it yourself.
00:47:02I'd hate you to miss any of the salient details.
00:47:04No, Paul.
00:47:05Yeah, page 10. That's where it gets really good.
00:47:07Can you just tell me?
00:47:09I believe the official word is culpable.
00:47:13So what, does that mean your staff's in trouble?
00:47:17No.
00:47:19No, it's the managing director's responsibility
00:47:21to make sure that staff know what they're doing.
00:47:25Buck stops with me.
00:47:27Yeah, but it's not your fault.
00:47:30If it's not my fault, whose is it?
00:47:33I should have made sure
00:47:35that there were adequate safety procedures in place.
00:47:38Yeah, but you can't be everywhere
00:47:40looking out for everyone all the time.
00:47:44It's my staff.
00:47:47My grounds.
00:47:50My duty of care.
00:47:53Paul, it was an accident.
00:47:58I killed her.
00:48:03Georgia blew me off.
00:48:06Maybe she needed to be somewhere else.
00:48:08She blamed me for Scotty.
00:48:10I don't know that. Why would she?
00:48:12Have you ever heard of shooting the messenger?
00:48:14Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
00:48:16I'm serious.
00:48:18Maybe she would have been perfectly happy not knowing.
00:48:21They were going to get married.
00:48:22They were talking about having kids.
00:48:24Who's to say it wouldn't have worked out?
00:48:26You can't build a life on lies.
00:48:29You did them a huge favour. Like, huge.
00:48:31Yeah, well, she doesn't see it that way.
00:48:34Just give her some space.
00:48:36I don't know.
00:48:38It's not like you can do anything else.
00:48:40You can't force her to talk to you.
00:48:42I can try.
00:48:43Yeah, that's going to go down really well.
00:48:46Look, if you want my advice,
00:48:48just back off and let her work it out herself.
00:48:51What if she doesn't?
00:48:53Then I'm always the bad guy.
00:48:54Relax. It's not going to happen.
00:48:58Got a delivery of gas bottles coming in.
00:49:00Doing a built-in barbecue. Catch you later.
00:49:02Enjoy.
00:49:03You had lunch?
00:49:04Not yet. I'm running behind with this thing.
00:49:06Stripped a couple of screws, putting the hood on.
00:49:08I need to test it before I install it.
00:49:11Want me to grab you a burger?
00:49:12Mate, you are a lifesaver. I'll pay you back later.
00:49:17Did Georgia call?
00:49:19Not yet. Like I said, she's freezing me out.
00:49:23She'll come good.
00:49:25I hope so, because I'm not the bad guy here.
00:49:31Can you hear something?
00:49:36I think it's the gas bottle.
00:49:39It's leaking.
00:49:42That's off and it's still leaking.
00:49:44I thought they always pressure tested these things.
00:49:45Yeah, they do.
00:49:46But someone could have easily stuffed up and overfilled it.
00:49:48How about the others?
00:49:54Hey, they're all leaking.
00:49:57Well, lucky you didn't fire up the barbecue.
00:49:58We'd be wetting all over again.
00:50:02Where did these come from?
00:50:09What do you think they'll say?
00:50:10I don't know.
00:50:11But if they're doing an inquest, I need to know.
00:50:14Hey, mate, I'll meet you in there.
00:50:16Hey.
00:50:17Hey.
00:50:18Did you get enough sleep?
00:50:19Yeah, I did.
00:50:21How's everything else?
00:50:23You know, it's OK.
00:50:25Really?
00:50:26Do you really want to hear all the nitty-gritty details
00:50:28of my big humiliation?
00:50:30Why the hell would you feel humiliated?
00:50:32Scotty's the one that screwed up.
00:50:33And I was all set to marry him. I didn't even know him.
00:50:35But that's not your fault.
00:50:37You trusted him.
00:50:38Yeah, because I'm an idiot.
00:50:40A stupid, naive idiot.
00:50:42You're not an idiot.
00:50:45Yeah, I have to go.
00:50:48Someone's in a hurry.
00:50:50I don't know what's going on with her.
00:50:51Can't work her out.
00:50:52Come on, I want to talk to both of us.
00:50:54Hey, the scars I've been looking for.
00:50:57Do you want to go and see a movie or something tonight?
00:50:59We might be tied up.
00:51:01Why? What's happened?
00:51:02Well, Carl got a delivery of gas bottles today.
00:51:04They're all leaking.
00:51:06And they came from the same supplier.
00:51:08If it's the same one the caterers use for the wedding...
00:51:10Yeah, the explosion.
00:51:11Yeah.
00:51:12If you're right, this means it's not Paul's fault.
00:51:16Oh.
00:51:17I thought that was never gonna end.
00:51:18Unbelievable.
00:51:25Oh, what do you want?
00:51:26Look, before you spit in my eye, there's something you need to know.
00:51:29I've just come from the police station and they have new information.
00:51:33No one called me.
00:51:35Well, they're amending the report.
00:51:37Well, they discovered a batch of faulty gas bottles
00:51:39and they're recalling hundreds as we speak.
00:51:41Is that right?
00:51:43And I'm in to believe you on this?
00:51:44It's not a matter of what you believe, it's a matter of fact.
00:51:46No, no. It's a matter of who you paid off, Paul.
00:51:50I had nothing to do with it.
00:51:53Now, Chris and Kyle had a near miss with one of the bottles this afternoon.
00:51:56They went to the police and it triggered off a whole new line of inquiry.
00:52:01Anyway, just thought you might like to know.
00:52:04Now you think you're walking away from this, right, Paul?
00:52:06Are you walking away?
00:52:07Are you walking away?
00:52:09I'm not letting this go, you hear me?
00:52:18Hey.
00:52:21You OK?
00:52:25It's a nice place to plant the tree. Everyone walks past and sees it.
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:32Have you been here since AJ planted it?
00:52:35I came here once before, but AJ sent me packing.
00:52:39I suppose I shouldn't really be here now.
00:52:42Of course you should.
00:52:46She wasn't mine, Kate.
00:52:49I mean, I wasn't part of her life, not really.
00:52:53I don't have a right to anything.
00:52:57Paul, you loved her.
00:53:00No matter what the circumstances, you have a right to miss her.
00:53:05Yeah.
00:53:08Look, why don't we go have dinner at Charlie's tonight?
00:53:12My chow.
00:53:17Yeah.
00:53:19OK, well, I'll see you later.
00:53:20Bye.
00:53:32I was thinking of lasagne for dinner.
00:53:35With extra meat to make up for that tofu?
00:53:51How do these kids go through so much cheese?
00:53:55Oh, I'm going to have to make something else for dinner.
00:53:58What's that? Another bill we can't afford?
00:54:01I almost wish it was.
00:54:06What the hell is...
00:54:08Stamped in the ISA two days ago.
00:54:11And you think you know who sent it, don't you?
00:54:13Look, it could just be a sick joke.
00:54:16Yeah, or?
00:54:17I know what you did.
00:54:19I've never put a foot out of line as a cop except once.
00:54:22Letting Bailey off the hook.
00:54:24Outside of this family, there's only one person that knows about it.
00:54:26Robbo.
00:54:28Obviously I don't have any proof, but I can't think of who else it could be.
00:54:31Is he after Amber, or...
00:54:33If he wanted Amber, he'd contact her, not threaten me.
00:54:35My guess is it's some kind of blackmail.
00:54:37Blackmail? What could he want?
00:54:41Don't know.
00:54:48Hopefully he sleeps her through.
00:54:54Only a couple of hours now.
00:55:03Just hope nothing goes wrong.
00:55:06Hey, don't even think like that. He's going to be fine.
00:55:10You're amazing, you know that?
00:55:13A couple of months ago you were so scared you didn't want to hold him.
00:55:15Yeah, don't remind me.
00:55:17Well, now look at you.
00:55:20Then who do I have to thank for snapping me out of it?
00:55:24I believe in him. I really do.
00:55:27There's no way I would have made it through all this without you.
00:55:30You're the kindest, most genuine guy I've ever met.
00:55:33Well, you must have dated some real losers then.
00:55:36I'm trying to be more choosy.
00:55:46Have you had a chance to think yet?
00:55:49I think all the time. Unlike some.
00:55:52Oh, mind like a steel trap. Regular genius.
00:55:55Alright, you can stop buttering me up now and get to the point, eh?
00:55:58The manager position. I'm still interested. You said you'd think about it.
00:56:02You turned it down.
00:56:04I turned down your dodgy request about Elaine Lawson, not the job.
00:56:08So, what do you say?
00:56:11Yeah, well, I guess you have been careful.
00:56:13Yeah, well, I guess you have been keeping things on track around here.
00:56:16Have I mentioned how much experience I have running bars?
00:56:19Oh, only about a hundred times. To be honest, I'm sick of hearing it so fine.
00:56:23You're giving me the job?
00:56:25Yes, one month's trial.
00:56:27You won't regret it.
00:56:29I'm beginning to. Just try and keep the books tighter than Andrew, innit?
00:56:32You already do. Oh, and we need to talk about staff.
00:56:35With Andrew and Tash gone, we need to hire more.
00:56:38Well, you're the manager now, so get on to it.
00:56:40One step ahead of you.
00:56:44I'd say that's more than one step ahead, wouldn't you?
00:56:46Get used to it, moneybags.
00:56:50So, you've hired someone already?
00:56:52Well, Pete was one of the first to show interest.
00:56:56Nice guns, eh?
00:56:59Chris?
00:57:01Ah, yeah, yeah, I guess.
00:57:03You guess? Oh, sure. Tell Paul how it is.
00:57:07It's great to have some eye candy around here.
00:57:09Well, he pretty much is the hottest thing I've seen behind a straight bar.
00:57:12So this management's off to a good start, hey?
00:57:15And tell me, this eye candy, does it have any experience?
00:57:18I repeat, look at him.
00:57:21Hey, come here.
00:57:25Yes, sir, how can I help you?
00:57:28I'm in the mood for a fine single malt, something Irish, aged in oak.
00:57:33Single malt?
00:57:35Yeah, not blended.
00:57:36Um, yeah, let me see what we've got.
00:57:41You were talking about whiskey, right?
00:57:45Oh, compared to Mr Muscles over there, you're an expert.
00:57:48Oh, leave him alone. He's looking.
00:57:52Here, you know what? Cancel my order and send the eye candy home, will you?
00:57:56And suppose you could sneak me his number first?
00:57:59Oh, that might not be necessary.
00:58:01What are you up to?
00:58:02Well, I think I know something that speaks louder than Paul Robinson,
00:58:06and it's the thing that he respects most.
00:58:17If they can repair the valve, that's the best option.
00:58:20If they can't, they'll replace it with an artificial one.
00:58:22Either way, it's a fairly lengthy procedure.
00:58:25And a difficult one.
00:58:27No such thing as simple open-heart surgery.
00:58:29Do you know much about the surgeon?
00:58:30Well, from what I hear,
00:58:32he's one of the best paediatric heart surgeons in the country.
00:58:36They, um, they asked us to donate some blood.
00:58:39Yeah, the nurse said, uh, sometimes they had to do a blood transfusion.
00:58:42Yeah, it's fairly common.
00:58:44I'm trying not to worry.
00:58:46This operation has a success rate over 90%.
00:58:48Now, um, I've got some patients I have to see,
00:58:51but I'll keep my ear out for news.
00:58:53Make sure it gets passed on to you, all right?
00:58:55Thanks, Carl.
00:58:57Thanks, we've got to get moving too.
00:58:58We've got a baptism to get to.
00:59:00A baptism?
00:59:02Yeah, we talked about it, it's something I'd like to do.
00:59:04All right.
00:59:10We anoint you with the oil of salvation.
00:59:13Patrick Mauricio Vellante,
00:59:16I baptise you in the name of the Father,
00:59:18and of the Son,
00:59:20and of the Holy Spirit.
00:59:21Amen.
00:59:28Receive the light of Christ.
00:59:31Parents, this light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly.
00:59:37I believe in the resurrection of the boy.
00:59:40I believe in life everlasting.
00:59:43Amen.
00:59:52I can't handle this.
00:59:54Maybe we should go for a walk or something.
00:59:56You're worse than I am.
00:59:58Just try to relax.
01:00:00You know, there's nothing we can do now
01:00:02that's going to change things.
01:00:04Maybe just a quick lap around the hospital.
01:00:06No, I don't want to go anywhere in case there's any news.
01:00:09No news is good news, yeah?
01:00:12Talk about something else.
01:00:14I'm not sure we'd know how.
01:00:17What do you mean?
01:00:18Chris asked me the other day what our favourite restaurant was.
01:00:21Anyway, I realised
01:00:23that we haven't been out for dinner
01:00:25since we've been together.
01:00:27No, I guess we haven't.
01:00:29Yeah, we sort of skipped all that new couple stuff.
01:00:32Well, it was Patrick that brought us together.
01:00:35Yeah, it wouldn't have been so wrapped up in him.
01:00:37I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
01:00:39In fact, it's brilliant.
01:00:41When Patrick's better,
01:00:43we can go and do all that romantic mushroom picking.
01:00:45Yeah, that'll be nice.
01:00:47Let's just hope we don't find out
01:00:49we've got nothing in common, eh?
01:00:51We're going to go for a walk.
01:00:53What is he still doing here?
01:00:55What does it look like?
01:00:57It looks like I'm paying somebody to cut lemons
01:00:59in my pantry.
01:01:01No, it doesn't.
01:01:03It certainly doesn't.
01:01:05Are you sure?
01:01:07Yeah, I'm sure.
01:01:10Yes, in fact,
01:01:12I'm in the process of preparing
01:01:14a new lemon marriage.
01:01:16A new one?
01:01:18Yeah.
01:01:20I've got a new friend coming over.
01:01:22at Snail's pace just because you want to have a perv.
01:01:25He's getting better and better as he goes along.
01:01:29Oh, sorry, mate.
01:01:31Oh, really?
01:01:32He's got a lot to learn, no one's denying that.
01:01:35I don't pay people to learn.
01:01:36You should.
01:01:37We could put him through a basic bartender's course
01:01:40and then after a few classes,
01:01:41he will have the punters flocking in, you'll see.
01:01:43Have you ever heard the expression good money after bad?
01:01:50That's it, I want him gone.
01:01:51Sorry, mate.
01:01:52Just give me to the rest of the day.
01:01:53If he hasn't improved by then, well, I'll get rid of him.
01:01:57And you pay him for the day out of your wages?
01:01:59Fine.
01:02:00And if he's a hit, you give him a month's trial
01:02:02and you pay for him to do the course.
01:02:05Fine.
01:02:06But if this goes pear-shaped,
01:02:07you know it's gonna reflect very, very badly
01:02:09on my new manager.
01:02:17I see you guys have never been out to dinner.
01:02:20Well, either he was working or I was,
01:02:22and when we weren't, we just stayed in our rooms.
01:02:26Well, no, that's understandable.
01:02:27You wanted to be closer to Patrick.
01:02:28Yeah, of course.
01:02:31But that's the point.
01:02:32Patrick's basically the only thing we have in common.
01:02:35Oh, well, that's not entirely true, is it?
01:02:37Yeah, all right, there was the first night,
01:02:38but, you know, I got pregnant
01:02:40before we got to know each other.
01:02:43Well, it's not like you guys are strangers.
01:02:44You've been living together for ages.
01:02:45Yeah, as housemates.
01:02:46And then as a fake couple.
01:02:48But, you know, since we've been a real couple,
01:02:52every single day has been about Patrick
01:02:54and helping each other get through it.
01:02:56Yeah, but that, I think that's a good thing.
01:02:59I mean, what could possibly make a couple stronger
01:03:00than supporting each other?
01:03:03But, you know, once Patrick's been out...
01:03:05You know, you just need to stop finding stuff
01:03:07to worry about and enjoy your healthy little baby boy.
01:03:10Believe me, there is nothing I want more.
01:03:13Yeah, and Lucas wants the same thing.
01:03:14So really, you have everything in common.
01:03:17We have the important stuff, anyway.
01:03:19And all the other stuff that you clash on
01:03:21or you don't connect with, you'll work through that.
01:03:25Yeah, I guess so.
01:03:27To be honest, my love life has been
01:03:29one train wreck after another.
01:03:30I just, I really want it to work this time.
01:03:32No, it will.
01:03:34I really believe in you two.
01:03:35You just need to stop overthinking and be happy.
01:03:41Believe me, once Patrick's through this operation,
01:03:43I'm gonna be ecstatic.
01:03:48You ladies should treat yourself to another round.
01:03:50Just order at the bar.
01:03:53Thanks, ladies.
01:03:54So, what do you reckon?
01:03:55Not bad, eh?
01:03:56Yeah, well, it seems to have got around fast.
01:03:59Facebook and Twitter.
01:04:00Joint was jumping in no time.
01:04:03The importance of social media cannot be underestimated
01:04:06in today's modern business world.
01:04:07Really, thanks for that.
01:04:09And would you like me to go to the kitchen
01:04:10and get you a nice piece of humble pie?
01:04:12Hey, whoa, whoa, just hold your horses.
01:04:14Just because a few women find him attractive...
01:04:15Heaps of women find him attractive, and blokes too.
01:04:19Doesn't mean they're actually spending money, does it?
01:04:21We're raking it in.
01:04:22Hmm.
01:04:24Bet he has to consult the recipe book
01:04:25for every cocktail, though.
01:04:26But who cares?
01:04:27The customers don't.
01:04:28And we'll make double today,
01:04:30or maybe even triple what we normally do on a Friday.
01:04:33Really?
01:04:34That is a good start.
01:04:35Oh, that's a reason to celebrate.
01:04:37Would you like to order yourself a drink?
01:04:39Pete?
01:04:41Yes, Sheila?
01:04:43Mr. Robertson will take that single malt now.
01:04:46Excellent.
01:04:47We have two Irish single malt whiskeys, sir.
01:04:49Would you like the normal or the premium?
01:04:53Pete, does Mr. Robertson look like a normal or a premium man?
01:04:58Um, premium?
01:04:59Oh, good lad.
01:05:01Chop, chop.
01:05:04Bet he brings a bag to me in a coconut shell.
01:05:06Oh, just admit it.
01:05:07I am a brilliant manager.
01:05:08Well, at least say that I had a good first day.
01:05:11Oh, all right, you had a good first day as well.
01:05:13Thank you.
01:05:15That's all I wanted to hear.
01:05:17How good?
01:05:23Should be open by now, shouldn't it?
01:05:24Yes.
01:05:25No, surgery time can vary.
01:05:26There's, you know, there's nothing to worry about.
01:05:28Hey.
01:05:29Sir?
01:05:30How's Patrick?
01:05:31Okay, he got through the surgery very well.
01:05:32He's stable in recovery.
01:05:34Thank God.
01:05:34He did need a blood transfusion.
01:05:36But he's gonna be all right?
01:05:37But he's gonna be all right?
01:05:38Oh, the surgeon's very pleased.
01:05:40Oh, I'm so happy for you guys.
01:05:42Oh, I'm gonna cry.
01:05:44Now, you can see him soon.
01:05:45Just track down the nurse unit manager.
01:05:46She'll sort it out, yeah?
01:05:47Thank you so much.
01:05:48Actually, Sonia, why don't you keep Vanessa company?
01:05:51I just need to hang on to Lucas for a moment.
01:05:52Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
01:05:53I'll see you later.
01:05:54It's just admin stuff, you know.
01:05:58What do I need to sign?
01:05:59Oh, it's nothing, actually.
01:06:00I just want to talk to you about the test
01:06:02we did on your blood.
01:06:03Let's talk in private.
01:06:05Okay.
01:06:08Have a seat.
01:06:10No, I'm right.
01:06:12When they screened your blood
01:06:14before Patrick's transfusion,
01:06:16they found some abnormalities.
01:06:21Abnormalities?
01:06:22There's a very high white blood cell count.
01:06:25Which means?
01:06:26Well, it doesn't necessarily indicate anything serious,
01:06:29but, well, we'd like to run some more tests
01:06:34as soon as we can, just to be sure.
01:06:37As soon as we can?
01:06:39That doesn't sound like nothing serious.
01:06:42Oh, no, no, there's a lot of possibilities.
01:06:45Some of them are worrying,
01:06:46but we're only talking about possibilities at this stage.
01:06:48Well, I feel fine.
01:06:49That's always a good sign.
01:06:51We'll just run the tests and see where we stand.
01:06:56What's a worst case scenario?
01:06:58Oh, it's really too early to say.
01:06:59Tell him.
01:07:02Well, with a leukocyte count this high,
01:07:05it could indicate some form of cancer,
01:07:07but that's just the worst case
01:07:09in a long list of possibilities.
01:07:13Right, then.
01:07:16I don't want Vanessa to know anything about this.
01:07:18Mate, you need support.
01:07:19No, no, no, no, no.
01:07:20After everything she's been through with Patrick,
01:07:22she doesn't need this right now, okay?
01:07:23Lucas, don't be sexy.
01:07:24Carl, I mean it!
01:07:27Vanessa can't know.
01:07:35You have to know.
01:07:43Here he is.
01:07:44The man of the moment.
01:07:47All the paperwork dealt with?
01:07:48Yeah, you know Carl?
01:07:49He's a stickler for procedure.
01:07:50He should be very proud of this little man.
01:07:52He's coming along in leaps and bounds.
01:07:54I just wanna give him a cuddle.
01:07:55Oh, well, I'll take that drain out tomorrow
01:07:57and you can cuddle him to your heart's content.
01:07:59Thank you so much, Carl.
01:08:01I'm sure he can claim the credit.
01:08:03The surgeon did one for worth.
01:08:05When do you reckon he'll be off the oxygen?
01:08:06We'll reduce that slowly. I'd be hopeful in a couple of days he won't need it at all.
01:08:10And after that?
01:08:11Well, if he keeps progressing like this, we could discharge him in a week.
01:08:17A week?
01:08:18Well, we'd have to keep monitoring him very closely.
01:08:20A week?
01:08:21Lucas, we can finally go home. I never want to see the inside of a hospital again.
