Home and Away 23rd July 2024-n
Transcript
00:00Every time we hang out, I come to you.
00:10When are you coming to Mangrove River?
00:12It's an invitation.
00:13Hold on.
00:14Look at this.
00:15Look, you being here is a mistake.
00:16Says the guy who's obsessed with the place.
00:24Just get in the car.
00:25I'm not joking.
00:26Just get in the damn car.
00:27It's one thing to have Rory in the house, it's another thing entirely you partying with
00:31the Riverboys.
00:32You think that it's a coincidence that he's just started hooking up with the sister of
00:35the new cop on his turf?
00:36Come on.
00:37That doesn't even make sense.
00:38Think about it.
00:39You can't even see it.
00:40I was with Rory before you decided to take the job.
00:41Not everything's about you.
00:42There are other brontes out there waiting to prey on other innocent people.
00:46Why not speak up?
00:47Because I'm humiliated enough as it is, John.
00:50You thrive on helping people.
00:52I think you know what the right decision is.
00:55Do you mind me asking why the sudden change of heart?
00:58What does it matter, doll?
00:59I'm here now.
01:00So, where's this journo?
01:01How long till Zander can surf again?
01:02Look, he's doing well and he's back on his feet, but it might be a while till he's ready
01:03to get back out there.
01:04Well, I hope it's not too long.
01:05I can't wait to see him back at it.
01:06Theo?
01:07It all worked out.
01:08Hey.
01:09Hey.
01:10Hey.
01:11What are you up to today?
01:12I just ate.
01:13How about a jam?
01:14Oh, I would, mate, but I had a late night at the studio.
01:15So...
01:16When don't you these days?
01:17What can I say, mate?
01:18I'm in demand.
01:19Anyway, I'm pretty tired.
01:20Might head home, crash, take advantage of a quiet house.
01:21I'll see you later.
01:22Bye.
01:23Bye.
01:24Bye.
01:25Bye.
01:26Bye.
01:27Bye.
01:28Bye.
01:29Bye.
01:30Bye.
01:31Bye.
01:32Bye.
01:33Bye.
01:34Bye.
01:35Bye.
01:36Bye.
01:37Bye.
01:38Bye.
01:39Bye.
01:40Bye.
01:41Anyway, might crash, take advantage of a quiet house...
01:42Yeah.
01:43And I'm on call, so I'll see you later.
01:45Didn't you just say you had the day off?
01:48I did say that, but then I realized that I mix my days around.
01:51Oh, glad to see you're more focused at work than you are in the real world.
01:55Don't tell me about it, hey?
01:58See ya!
02:03Bye.
02:06Hey, look, can we... Where are you going?
02:12I can't stay here.
02:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, slow down. Can we talk, okay?
02:15I heard my boyfriend from the house. I'm going.
02:17Well, just because he's not welcome, he doesn't mean that you have to leave.
02:19Well, save it!
02:20I'm so sick of you breathing down my neck.
02:22No, no, I'm not breathing down your neck. I'm trying to look out for you.
02:24Have you been listening to a single word I've been saying?
02:26Yeah, I heard. Parties, drugs, murder. What's next?
02:28Where are you gonna go?
02:29I'm gonna stay with Rory.
02:30With Rory? Are you being serious right now? It's not safe with Rory.
02:33Get a grip! His friends couldn't have been more welcoming.
02:35No, no, no, his friends are dangerous.
02:37They're not capable of whatever it is you think they're involved in.
02:39You're making a mistake, Flick.
02:42If my boyfriend can't stay here, neither will I.
02:49No, I should be thanking you. I was so excited to get your call.
02:52Oh, we both thought it was really important to get our side of the story.
02:55And I'm so piqued to hear it.
02:57If I do a decent enough job, my editor might actually start taking me seriously.
03:00Oh, please sit. Uh, Fleur, this is Irene Roberts.
03:03Hey, it's lovely to put a face to the name.
03:05Well, we'll see how lovely it is once you realise it's not the huge scoop you were hoping for.
03:10I just want to get the truth.
03:12Since when has the coastal news been interested in that?
03:16Uh, we've both been on edge since all this happened.
03:19Of course, who wouldn't be? Um, I hope you don't mind if I record the interview?
03:23Oh, God forbid you should miss every last little bit of dirt.
03:27Irene, um, do you need a minute before we start?
03:30No, love. I'm good as gold. Far away.
03:33Perhaps we can start by you both telling me about Brontë Langford.
03:36Well, it was such a tragic story, it was hard not to sympathise.
03:39She took one look at me and thought, there's an easy target.
03:43An old fool I can fleece.
03:46Well, she fooled us all. Only because I'm vouched for enough.
03:50Which does beg the question, how were you so easily tricked by Brontë?
03:53Uh, that is hardly the point.
03:55No, no, no, Leo, you see, that is exactly the point.
04:00So how about we get this all out in the open, eh?
04:04The whole Torrance saga.
04:12Now, we're officially experts at this sneaking around thing,
04:15cos Leo had no idea earlier.
04:17You had no idea how badly I wanted to get my hands on you.
04:20Well, at least it's made up for it then, haven't it?
04:24Hello? Eden?
04:29I'll get rid of him.
04:34You might want to put some clothes on first.
04:37Might leave earlier if I don't.
04:45Hey. Hey.
04:47Is this one for Eden?
04:48She's gone to see her mum, didn't she tell you?
04:50Ah, yeah, yeah, she did.
04:52Just thought I might be able to catch her before she left.
04:54Yeah, she was pretty keen on hitting the road.
04:56I think seeing her old man stirred up a few things.
04:58Yeah, sure has been easy.
05:00Anyway, give her a call.
05:01Well, I don't really want to give her a call.
05:03I don't want to bother her.
05:05Think she might need a bit of a time out.
05:07You all good?
05:08Not really, mate.
05:10Flix has given me an impossible ultimatum.
05:15I'll get you something to drink.
05:17He thinks he can tell me what to do and I'm overt.
05:19So you packed a suitcase?
05:20I refused to leave anywhere that you're not welcome.
05:22So I figured I could stay at your place.
05:24Wouldn't that cause more issues with your brother?
05:26I don't care.
05:27He's throwing out all these crazy accusations.
05:29Oh, yeah? Like what?
05:31Oh, it's not even worth discussing.
05:32So can I stay at yours?
05:34Yeah, having you stay would be awesome.
05:36But?
05:37My place is chaos.
05:38And trust me, you don't want to be sharing a bathroom with the boys.
05:41I'm hardly a princess.
05:42And they've made me feel really comfortable.
05:43They were on their best behaviour.
05:44You wouldn't want to see how messy it gets with my grandfather all day.
05:47You don't want me to stay with you just so you have a big girl.
05:49Hey, it's really not that.
05:51I want us to move in together.
05:52Just down the track.
05:53Into our own place.
05:55Away from all the noise.
05:56Have you actually thought that far ahead?
05:58Of course I have.
05:59I just don't want to mess it up by rushing things.
06:01Okay, here.
06:02I guess it's a lot of pressure.
06:03I'll try and find somewhere else to stay for now.
06:07There's your mail.
06:09Hey, John.
06:10Good to see you again.
06:12You're still here?
06:13What is it that you think he's going to do?
06:15Launder money through the restaurant?
06:16Wouldn't put it past him.
06:18Come on, John.
06:19I'm not like that.
06:20We should have a beer sometime.
06:22Just so you know, I've got eyes and ears everywhere.
06:33Flick doesn't even really know who Rory is.
06:35And you do?
06:36Well, I don't have any proof yet, but the gang he's in...
06:40It's somehow connected to the murder of the cop I'm replacing.
06:43Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:46I knew Aiden was worried.
06:47I didn't realise it was happening.
06:48It's Flick I'm worried about.
06:49I mean, what if she moves in with a guy?
06:50Anything could happen.
06:52Do you think he's using her to get to you?
06:54Well, I don't think that he was at first.
06:56But now, yeah.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Yeah, now he's playing games.
07:01Well, mate, I wish there was something I could say to help.
07:04Yeah, me too.
07:07Are you going to be okay?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Yeah, I'll be alright.
07:10Thanks for the chat.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Anytime, mate.
07:15See you around.
07:16Yeah, see ya.
07:29It's casual, right?
07:30Oh, yeah, he's got a bit going on.
07:32Wouldn't have felt right to turn him away.
07:34Yeah, I get it.
07:35Now, do you have to go?
07:37Because you should stay and let me make it up to you.
07:40Yeah?
07:41What were you thinking?
07:42What was I thinking?
07:54God save us, girlie.
07:56How much clearer do I need to be?
07:58So, you never once asked for proof of Bronte's medical condition?
08:01Never.
08:02Well, Roger was very skilled at preying on kindness.
08:05There's a reason why she got away with this twice before.
08:08Sure, but she lived with you and you cared for her?
08:11What's your point?
08:12You never once took her to any doctor's appointments or filled a single prescription?
08:16You'd think so, wouldn't you?
08:19She said she was looking for a stupid old woman gullible enough to take her in and there I was.
08:26There's no shame in taking somebody into your home that is in need.
08:29Yeah, except she wasn't, was she?
08:32Here is a quote for your clickbait article, girlie.
08:36Irene Roberts, born loser, perfect victim.
08:40Hello, I might be able to help here. I met Bronte on Sephora.
08:43John, will you get lost? Can't you see we're busy here?
08:47I'll tell you something else for nothing, too.
08:50Anyone turns up at my door with a terminal illness, I'm going to slam it in their flippin' face.
08:57You want me to print that?
08:58Do you want me to write the article for you?
09:01Irene, stop.
09:02Make my humiliation public, girlie, because I don't deserve anything else.
09:08Irene.
09:12This is a bigger story than I could have imagined.
09:23Will you slow down?
09:25Leave me alone.
09:26What on earth were you thinking?
09:28I was listening to your advice and doing that stupid interview.
09:32Well, it was meant to help, not offer you an opportunity to throw yourself under a bus.
09:36I told the truth. What Bronte did was my fault.
09:40Nobody thinks that. You're surrounded by people who care about you and love you.
09:44Oh, stop lying to me.
09:46I'm not. Where did that come from?
09:48You see, this is the problem with all of my friends. No one ever tells it to me the way it is.
09:53I know that they blame me, they mightn't say it to my face, but that's what they're thinking.
09:58Oh, come on. We've talked about this.
10:00All I ever hear is you banging on about something or other.
10:04For God's sake, why don't you listen for once and leave me alone?
10:07I don't think you should be on your own.
10:09Are you so desperate that you have to cling to me all the time?
10:13For God's sake, John, will you get a life?
10:16This is not you.
10:23Can you please not go? How about I order some food and we just talk all this out?
10:34My editor's expecting me.
10:36Irene has already been so humiliated. Can you not make this any harder for her?
10:41I feel for her. I do. Even if she's one of the rudest people I've ever met.
10:45Look, I've known Irene for such a long time and she's generous to a fold.
10:50Can't you see that she's the victim in all of this?
10:52I'll make sure it's a balanced article.
10:54How about I give you a one-on-one interview?
10:57I will answer whatever question that you have.
10:59Your quotes aren't going to allow me my first front page.
11:02You should be writing about all the despicable things that Bronte has done.
11:05They will be in there, but I can't unhear the things Irene said.
11:09Sorry, but this thing is staring me in the face.
11:12It was nice to meet you, Liam.
11:13Yeah, bye.
11:16How bad was this interview?
11:18Don't even ask.
11:20Anything I can do to help?
11:22That's really sweet, but I'm fine. It's Irene I'm worried about.
11:34You might be interested in that senior constable?
11:37Yep, I'm sure that's going to be a very strong deterrent.
11:39Actually, I expected a bit more gratitude, in particular from you.
11:42Oh, yeah? How's that?
11:44The bloke your sister's all googly-eyed over is a river boy.
11:47Yeah, yeah, I know. I've been trying to make her see some sense,
11:49but she's digging her heels in.
11:51I suggest you try a little bit harder.
11:53It's not a good look with you freshly back in uniform.
11:55I completely agree, but has Rory actually committed a crime?
11:59Actually, yes, yes.
12:01He made a point of letting me know that he knows where I live.
12:04He's staying across the street from where you live, so that's not a crime.
12:07All right, OK, well, threat or not,
12:09having river boys around the place is not good for the surf club,
12:12and that makes it your job to make sure it doesn't get any worse.
12:14OK, well, then it's your job to report to me actual criminal behaviour,
12:17not just tattoos.
12:21John.
12:22Hey.
12:23Did you manage to track Irene down?
12:25Uh-huh.
12:26Apparently, it's a national have-a-crack at Parma day.
12:28Sorry?
12:30Oh, Irene bit my head off.
12:32Did you have any more luck with that journalist?
12:34Oh, honestly, I think it's a question
12:37of how bad the article's going to make Irene look.
12:40Oh, that's the last thing she needs.
12:45Don't worry about it.
12:50You look hot when you're mad.
12:53You've already won me over. You don't need to try so hard.
12:56Oh, no, you're worth the effort.
12:58Flick, can we please talk?
13:00I'm busy.
13:01Can we talk for five minutes, please?
13:02You don't get five seconds
13:04until you apologise to Rory for kicking him out of the house.
13:07Are you enjoying this?
13:09Nah, mate.
13:10I know you're just looking out for your sister.
13:13I'm sorry.
13:15I was out of line.
13:17Forget it.
13:19Don't make me regret this.
13:21You won't.
13:22I have to get going anyway, so I'll leave you to it.
13:25Am I going to see you later?
13:27Try and keep me away.
13:33So?
13:34Sorry, my life doesn't revolve around your mood,
13:36so if you want to talk to me, you're going to have to wait
13:38until I'm on break.
13:40I'll be on the balcony.
13:44What are you thinking?
13:47I'm thinking we're on a date.
13:51Hello?
13:56Shh, just pretend we're not here.
14:03Remy!
14:05He's not going to leave, is he?
14:08You!
14:09Anyone home?
14:10Hey.
14:12What are you doing here?
14:13Your text said you were tired,
14:15so I figured you'd want to stay in and eat something.
14:17Yeah, thank you.
14:19I'm just feeling it, mate.
14:20Leah gave me heaps.
14:21Mate, it's just, I've got a friend in my room.
14:25Oh, oh.
14:26Sorry, dude.
14:27Who is it?
14:28Ah, it's, um...
14:29Someone from session one.
14:31Oh.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Yeah.
14:34Yeah.
14:35Ah, it's, um...
14:36Someone from session work, so...
14:38Ah, OK.
14:39I'll leave you to it.
14:40Thanks.
14:41Hey, um, just one quick question.
14:43How long's Bree been doing session work?
14:49Bree!
14:50You may as well come out now.
15:05Busted.
15:18You've got two minutes.
15:19OK.
15:20Look, I can't pretend to like Rory or his mates.
15:22Wow, how do you think this is going so far?
15:24Hey, you said that I had two minutes, yeah?
15:26Please, I'll cut straight to the point.
15:29I don't like that you're dating him,
15:31but I'm willing to put up with it if you stay at the house.
15:34We split the rent equally,
15:36which means you don't get to dictate who my guests are.
15:38Yep, point taken.
15:39I know you don't like him,
15:40but you do need to accept that he's in my life.
15:42And that's what I'm trying to do.
15:43You've been fighting it ever since you found out he was a river boy.
15:46I really like him.
15:47Yeah, I can see that.
15:49I can see that.
15:51And you're right.
15:53It's your house too.
15:57OK.
16:01Well, in that case,
16:03I guess I'll see you at home.
16:05I'll see you at home.
16:12I knew you guys were acting weird on the beach.
16:15Maybe I should hand my detective skills to the police.
16:18Yeah, yeah, you caught us. Well done.
16:20Kevvy's going to lose her mind when I tell her.
16:22Actually, could you not mention it?
16:25We're just wanting to keep this private for now.
16:30OK, sure.
16:32But you do realise, if I've worked it out,
16:34it's only a matter of time before everyone else does.
16:38Hmm.
16:39Can I ask, though?
16:40Why are you keeping it a secret?
16:43We just don't want all the pressure and expectations
16:46that come with people knowing.
16:47Yeah, we want to get back together at our own pace.
16:51And all the sneaking around.
16:52It's been kind of fun.
16:54OK, OK.
16:56I respect that.
16:57For what it's worth, I'm stoked Bremi's a thing again.
16:59Bremi.
17:00Bremi.
17:01I know, mate.
17:03All right, I'll catch you guys later.
17:06And don't worry, I won't tell a soul.
17:09Thanks, mate.
17:10Thanks, mate.
17:11Hey, and thanks for the food.
17:13Bremi!
17:18He is right, you know.
17:19We need to be more careful.
17:25At the dorm, Bremi.
17:32I keep telling her that it's not her fault.
17:34That's Irene's stubborn streak.
17:36Once she's got a mindset on something,
17:37she's very hard to turn around.
17:40I don't know, I just...
17:41I get the feeling that there's something else going on.
17:44Yeah, well, leave it to me.
17:46I'll check in on her.
17:47Get back to work.
17:48Thanks.
17:49And let me know if there's anything I can do.
17:50Will do.
17:54Apology accepted.
17:55Oh, how did you know I was going to ask one?
17:57I've worn that look myself many times.
17:59I shouldn't have been carrying on like that.
18:01Water, bridges, my friend.
18:04But it didn't come from nowhere.
18:05What's going on?
18:06Look, you won't know about Rory being bad news.
18:08There's just absolutely nothing I can do about it at this point.
18:11She's a strong woman.
18:14And we all know she's going to do what she wants.
18:16Yep, she is.
18:18Just promise me you won't let these guys out of your sight.
18:21You have my word.
18:30So, you and Felicity sort things out?
18:34You're welcome at our place.
18:35That means a lot.
18:36Thanks, bro.
18:38Before we go back to stalking law-abiding locals,
18:40we need to set some ground rules.
18:43You're going to stop watching our place?
18:44I don't take orders from you.
18:46Do you want Flick moving in with me?
18:48One word's all it'll take.
18:49Oh, yeah?
18:50You like her that much, you'd use her as leverage?
18:52I'm just saying, I think she really likes me.
18:54If today's taught us anything, it's I'm going to win.
18:57Have a nice day.
19:03You OK?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Is there something you need to see?
19:24No.
19:54I'm sorry.
20:25How'd you get a hold of this?
20:26There wasn't any CCTV footage from anywhere near the dam
20:28where Franklin's body was discovered.
20:31So, I contacted the National Parks.
20:33National Parks?
20:34So, this is, this is what?
20:35This is a wildlife tracking camera?
20:36Look at the time stamp.
20:38It's 2.38am.
20:40The morning before Franklin's body was found.
20:43Who's the guy I registered to?
20:45David Lewis.
20:46I don't know him.
20:47Also known as Dingo.
20:49I don't know him either.
20:50I don't know him either.
20:51I don't know him.
20:52Also known as Dingo.
20:54It's one of the red doves you wanted me to check earlier today.
20:57Is there more of this footage?
20:58Yeah, there is.
20:59OK, then let's go.
21:01We need to work out who the hell is in that car.
21:08Mate, this thing's a weapon.
21:10We'll sort out the payment next time you're up at the shop.
21:12Mates rate, obviously.
21:13Mates rates means free.
21:16Hey, have a look at this.
21:17Found something else.
21:18Looks like butt and sand to me.
21:19We've got all of Dingo's tattoos from the last time he was arrested.
21:25What are you doing here?
21:26I need you to look after this.
21:27Oh, no worries.
21:29Hey, no, I'm not keeping this here.
21:31We turned up for you when you needed us.
21:32You owe us.
