Home and Away 8339 29th August 2024
Transcript
00:00I can't believe your boss lets you surf in the middle of the day.
00:10I am the boss today, so I can do whatever I want.
00:12Who's Claudia?
00:13Oh, a really unhappy customer.
00:15Oh yeah, no, I get it that much.
00:17Do you know Theo didn't service her car yesterday?
00:19If I ask you to do a job, I expect it to be done.
00:22Yeah?
00:23Sorry.
00:24I got talking to Perry.
00:25It just took longer than I thought it would.
00:26He's a mate and he needed help.
00:27I don't like that you dropped the ball, but now I know why you did it.
00:30Think she'll use a different garage next time?
00:33Go easy on yourself, all right?
00:35Line up.
00:36We are back on track.
00:37Justin Morgan speaking.
00:38The brakes failed on a car that Theo serviced.
00:40The accident's his fault.
00:42I'm just asking for a little bit of help.
00:43A little bit of cash to get by.
00:44I know you're going through with trolls, Abby.
00:46I know the signs.
00:47You know what?
00:48Fine.
00:49You're not going to help me out.
00:50Where are you going to go?
00:51What are you going to do for money?
00:52Are you going to steal again?
00:53I need to do something.
00:54I need...
00:55You can have the money, but I need to know where you're living.
00:58I know what you're about to do with it, so I need to know what it finds you if something
01:01goes wrong.
01:05No, I just couldn't be at work anymore, so I've decided to head home.
01:09Where are you?
01:10Funny you should ask.
01:14I'm so glad to see you.
01:18Should we get off the phone now, do you think?
01:20Yeah.
01:24What's happened?
01:26Monday.
01:27Okay.
01:29Better not let JP catch you doing that.
01:31It's supposed to be a respectable family establishment.
01:33Alright, good to know.
01:34We're actually heading home.
01:35I'll see yous out later.
01:39Is that the new board?
01:41Yeah.
01:42Plasma's coming to pick it up today.
01:44Nice.
01:45Can I please ask you a question?
01:47As long as it has nothing to do with the art competition.
01:50Well, aren't they meant to be announcing the finalists today?
01:54Sounds like you know more about it than I do.
01:56I just think you should probably take your emails,
01:58because I'm pretty sure you're going to get...
02:00Not now, Kirby.
02:01There's actual work to get on with.
02:08I feel for her, I do.
02:10But why is she so convinced it was Theo's responsibility?
02:13Well, he was the one who signed off on the roadworthy certificate,
02:16so it breaks apart of that.
02:18But surely he wouldn't miss something so important?
02:21And usually I wouldn't question it.
02:24OK, but we had this huge backlog of work to get through
02:27and maybe I rushed him.
02:31OK, so what happens next?
02:33What does this Claudia lady want from you?
02:35I don't know, but she keeps yelling about
02:38holding Theo and the garage responsible,
02:40so I've got to get on to my insurance company.
02:43No, no, no, you can't just accept responsibility.
02:46What if the accident had nothing to do with the breaks?
02:50That's a good point.
02:51It could have been the driver's fault for all we know.
02:54She's right.
02:55I just think you need to find out exactly what happened
02:57before you accept any sort of blame.
03:04I get where Cash is coming from, I do,
03:06but no-one's ever going to be able to replace Felicity.
03:10There's just memories of her everywhere I look.
03:14I thought her farewell last week helped.
03:16It did, but things are changing so fast.
03:21Somehow we're meant to have moved on already.
03:25No-one expects that.
03:27It's only going to get better with time.
03:29Look, why don't you go have a shower,
03:31relax, try to unwind, let me take care of dinner.
03:35Does that sound good?
03:38I am so lucky to have you.
03:41And thank you for listening.
03:43It really means a lot that I can talk about this with you.
03:47Good.
04:06Abby, it's me.
04:08Call me back when you can, please.
04:10I made it.
04:11I need to know you're OK.
04:14You enjoy.
04:17Another satisfied customer.
04:19Yep.
04:21Checking for news on the art competition?
04:23Nope. Ordering supplies.
04:25Oh, come on.
04:26You act all indifferent,
04:27but I bet you've already started spending the money in your head.
04:29Not from the sale of one board.
04:31The prize money for the art competition.
04:34Marley, the 15 grand.
04:36Man, if I had all that money,
04:38I would book a one-way trip to Europe.
04:40I'm not going to imagine spending money that I don't have.
04:43That is half the fun.
04:45What would you buy?
04:46Kirby, give it a rest.
04:47You could expand the business or just do something crazy with it.
04:50OK, and she is still talking.
04:52I'm going to take a break.
04:53Oh, you really don't do the dare to dream thing, do you?
04:57I don't care about the competition, OK?
04:59So can you take it down nine levels?
05:02Mmm, smells good.
05:06Feeling any better?
05:08Much.
05:10Good.
05:11In fact, I've actually decided
05:14that it's a good thing that there are so many memories of Felicity at Salt.
05:17She's a part of the place
05:18and I think that maybe cash taking over will be a good thing too.
05:23I think that's a really good way of thinking about it.
05:26It's a good way of thinking about it.
05:28I think that's a really good way of thinking about it.
05:31It's funny.
05:32You know, cash was the one
05:33who persuaded me to take on Felicity in the first place.
05:37Really?
05:38I don't think I've heard that story.
05:44Everything OK?
05:45Yeah, just work.
05:47Levi.
05:54I haven't heard from Abigail since yesterday morning.
05:58So?
05:59Well, I thought I made it pretty clear
06:00that I needed to know where she was.
06:02OK, look, I get that you're worried about her,
06:04but she's an adult.
06:09What aren't you saying right now?
06:17I may have loaned her some money.
06:21After what happened last time?
06:24Look, there's some stuff
06:25that you don't really want to know about.
06:27What the hell does that mean?
06:28Look, it's better if you just stay out of it.
06:31Levi?
06:33What does she need the money for?
06:42Drugs.
06:50Hiya.
06:57Hi.
07:04Hey.
07:05What's going on?
07:07This is Claudia's car.
07:09Oh, isn't the lady from the accident?
07:11Well, she's letting you look at it.
07:13Uh, no, but I know the guys down at the tow truck company.
07:16They've agreed to leave it with me overnight
07:18so I can figure out what went wrong.
07:19Is it right that you're the one doing it?
07:21Like, is it legal?
07:22It's not illegal.
07:24But you're right,
07:26I certainly wouldn't be the guy
07:27doing the official accident report.
07:29I just...
07:30I want to know what actually happened.
07:32So, what did she hit?
07:34Well, it says over here.
07:38She realised she had no brakes,
07:40she swerved to avoid hitting the car in front
07:42and slammed side-on into a tree instead.
07:46Wow, where did Theo take the news?
07:48I didn't have the heart to tell him.
07:50And what's the point
07:51until I know exactly what went wrong?
07:53I'm still in shock.
08:05And you're sure that she's using?
08:09I saw the track marks on her arm.
08:12And you're this and you still gave her money?
08:16If it wasn't me,
08:17she would have stolen it from elsewhere.
08:19What was I meant to do?
08:20Huh?
08:21Let her get into more trouble?
08:23Did you ever think that
08:24maybe her getting caught stealing
08:26might have been the way
08:27I got caught she needed?
08:29Hindsight's 20-20, isn't it?
08:31Mm-hmm.
08:33I've tried calling her,
08:34she won't answer
08:35and she won't respond to my texts.
08:38Well, she's probably high.
08:39Hey, can you not?
08:40I'm sorry, Levi,
08:41but what did you expect?
08:42What...
08:45You know what?
08:46I'm not doing.
08:47I'm going to go back to work.
08:48You couldn't wait
08:49to get out of there earlier.
08:50I'm not doing this with you.
08:51If you have something to say,
08:52say it.
08:53We argued enough
08:54over Abigail during her visit.
08:56You didn't listen then,
08:57so why would you now?
09:12Have you taken a vow of silence
09:13or are you just annoyed at me?
09:16We're fine.
09:21Look,
09:25I will admit
09:26that occasionally
09:28my mouth can take the lead.
09:29However,
09:30I can also take a hint.
09:32Thanks.
09:42Hawaii.
09:43Hm?
09:46If I won the prize money,
09:48I'd shout my mum a trip to
09:50Hawaii.
09:52She's always wanted to go.
09:54To me?
09:57What?
09:59Nothing.
10:20What?
10:28Gathering the news
10:29wasn't great.
10:31I took that car apart
10:32and put it back together.
10:35Brakes failed.
10:38How?
10:42Calipers damaged.
10:44Pad cam loose.
10:47It was on Theo's checklist.
10:48He must have forgotten.
10:52Are you sure
10:53that's what caused the accident?
10:55I'm sorry.
10:58I'd give you a hug
10:59but I'm covered in grease.
11:00Since when do I care?
11:06It's my fault.
11:08You know,
11:09I pushed that kid
11:10to catch up on the work.
11:11It was a standard service.
11:13He should have been able
11:14to handle it.
11:15He's gonna be gutted.
11:29What are you doing here?
11:31I came here to apologise.
11:33I'm really sorry
11:34things got tense at home.
11:36Me too.
11:39But I did leave the house
11:40for a reason.
11:42Okay.
11:43It's obvious.
11:44You have some things
11:45to say about my sister.
11:47What?
11:48So now you're ready to listen?
11:49I'm gonna try.
11:50Go ahead
11:51and don't hold back.
11:53Okay.
11:57This is life 101.
11:59You do not give money
12:00to a drug addict.
12:02Okay,
12:03nothing's gonna stop her
12:04from using it.
12:05You didn't have to make
12:06it easier for her.
12:07Mac,
12:08I'm worried sick.
12:09Is a little support
12:10too much to ask?
12:11Okay, Levi,
12:12you either want me
12:13to keep my mind on this
12:14all the time.
12:15No, I do.
12:16I do.
12:17Then stop Molly coddling her.
12:18I'm not.
12:19I'm just trying to figure
12:20out where I go from here.
12:21You need to let the girl
12:22make her own mistakes.
12:23Mistakes?
12:24The kind of mistakes
12:25that she could make.
12:26You don't always
12:27come back for.
12:28For what,
12:29like overdosing?
12:30You're literally
12:31giving her money to do that
12:32so that's not helping
12:33the problem, is it?
12:34It's only making it worse.
12:43Hey.
12:44Did you manage
12:45to sort it all?
12:46Oh,
12:47we'll talk about it
12:48another day.
12:49Oh,
12:50yeah, sure.
12:51I'm here if you need anything.
12:52Thanks, Max.
12:53We're just here
12:54to get some dinner.
13:01How am I gonna
13:02break this to Theo?
13:03Theo,
13:04I don't know,
13:05but he's the last
13:06thing that he needs.
13:07Maybe there's a way
13:08we can get ahead of this
13:09before we have
13:10to tell him anything.
13:12What do you mean?
13:13Well,
13:14if I can come
13:15to some sort
13:16of arrangement
13:17with the client,
13:18this might all go away.
13:19So,
13:20it's all sorted
13:21by the time he finds out
13:22so he doesn't need
13:23to stress about it
13:24so much.
13:25Just to Morgan,
13:26I knew there was
13:27a reason why
13:28I married you.
13:29All right,
13:30hold on,
13:31hold up.
13:32I haven't figured out
13:33exactly how to do it yet.
13:34I,
13:35I don't believe it.
13:36I'm one of the finalists.
13:37Well,
13:38good on ya, mate.
13:39There's a lot
13:40of good energy
13:41coming from this table.
13:42Marley's had
13:43some good news.
13:44I've made the final
13:45of the Coastal Visions
13:46art competition.
13:47Oh,
13:48congratulations.
13:49That's wonderful news.
13:50Thank you,
13:51the both of you,
13:52but there's actually
13:53someone that I should
13:54share this with.
13:55So here he is.
13:56Hi.
13:57Oh,
13:58hi,
13:59come in.
14:00Did I forget
14:01to do something
14:02in the board shop?
14:03No,
14:04actually,
14:05I came to tell you
14:06that I'm
14:07going to be

14:16Congratulations.
14:18That's it?
14:19Well,
14:20am I allowed
14:21to be stoked for you?
14:22Because my boss
14:23taught me to take it
14:24down like nine levels.
14:25Permission to be stoked
14:26granted.
14:27Yes!
14:28Oh my gosh,
14:29you did it!
14:30I'm so happy for you.
14:31Really,
14:32I couldn't tell.
14:33You're totally
14:34going to win this,
14:35Marley,
14:36I know it.
14:37I'm going to be
14:38a part of the finalists.
14:39Stop,
14:40I'm going to get
14:41you a drink.
14:42I'm just
14:43trying not to
14:44get carried away.
14:45Yeah,
14:46but you are
14:47excited though,
14:48right?
14:49Kind of.
14:50Good,
14:51I'm glad.
14:52I do believe
14:53there is something
14:54else that you might
14:55be forgetting,
14:56though.
14:57Is there?
14:58Oh,
14:59fine,
15:00I'll say it
15:01on your behalf.
15:02Kirby,
15:03you are amazing
15:04and you believed in me
15:05and you were right
15:06Okay,
15:07look,
15:08everything but
15:09the last bit.
15:10No,
15:11Mum,
15:12it's okay,
15:13everything's fine.
15:14She just
15:15left some stuff
15:16at my house.
15:18Just let me know
15:19when she gets home,
15:20please.
15:22Thank you,
15:23I love you too.
15:24Bye.
15:29Hey,
15:32are you okay?
15:33Yeah.
15:37Look,
15:38you asked for my
15:39opinion,
15:40you got it,
15:41but it was
15:42no excuse
15:43for how
15:44judgmental I was.
15:46Thank you
15:47for saying that.
15:51How am I
15:52meant to help her
15:53if she won't
15:54ever let me know
15:55she's safe?
15:56Can I say
15:57something?
15:59I think we both
16:00know you're going
16:01to anyway.
16:03You need
16:04to recognise
16:05the blind spot
16:06you have
16:07when it comes
16:08to your sister.
16:09You have
16:10the biggest heart,
16:11Levi,
16:13but boundaries
16:14are so important,
16:15especially when
16:16it comes to family.
16:18Yeah,
16:19I'm working on it,
16:20just need to find her,
16:21she could be
16:22anywhere right now.
16:23Levi,
16:24unless she is
16:25ready for proper help,
16:26she will continue
16:27to exploit you.
16:28I wish I could
16:29disagree with you.
16:58Here,
16:59drink this.
17:04When did it
17:05get dark out?
17:07You were
17:08pretty gone earlier.
17:10Can I stay
17:11here again tonight?
17:13Don't you have
17:14a home to go to?
17:15I mean,
17:16yeah,
17:17but I'm thinking
17:18I could do
17:19another hit soon.
17:21How much money
17:22you got?
17:23None,
17:24it's gone.
17:25All of it?
17:26You're resourceful,
17:27hit the bank
17:28of Big Bro again.
17:30You won't get me anymore,
17:31not yet anyway.
17:33But I thought
17:34you said it was loaded.
17:35Yeah,
17:36but even if I try,
17:37it'll take too long.
17:39Please,
17:40don't,
17:41just spot me
17:42this once.
17:43You know
17:44I have rules.
17:45Yeah,
17:46but I've seen you
17:47help out your friends
17:48before.
17:49You know
17:50I'm good for it.
17:51Why am I
17:52such a softie?
17:54No,
17:56thank you.
17:58And I promise
17:59I will pay you back.
18:00Don't worry,
18:01we'll figure something out.
18:03You're the best.
18:14Hey, mate.
18:15So what did the family
18:16have to say
18:17about your big news?
18:18I haven't told them.
18:19Why not?
18:20Well,
18:21it's not like
18:22I've actually won anything yet.
18:23Hey,
18:24come on,
18:25being a finalist
18:26is still a big deal.
18:27Is it?
18:28I hope it is.
18:29Now,
18:30you put that up
18:31on your social whatever
18:32and I tell you what,
18:33it'll boost the sales
18:34in this joint.
18:35Yeah,
18:36I'll think about it.
18:37Thanks, Mr Stewart.
18:38Hey.
18:39What's this about
18:40you being a finalist?
18:41It's not important.
18:42You OK?
18:43Yeah,
18:44yeah,
18:45just got some stuff
18:46on my mind.
18:55Hey.
19:21You're up.
19:22Didn't expect to see you
19:23till at least noon.
