00:01:26getting you into trouble oh it's okay I don't like her to go off like this you
00:01:31know she was so angry before well what do you think Lauren am I with you my
00:01:36rights or am I just being irrational you asked him not to ride and he did I'd be
00:01:40upset too I know right after everything we talked about the way she reacted it
00:01:45was like I'd come off the bike or something you know I expected to get
00:01:49that emotional if I was in hospital hmm she'll come around eventually she's
00:01:54pretty reasonable right no why is this getting to me so much could it have
00:02:03something to do with Steph can I be honest sure I never thought you'd be
00:02:11with someone like that like what like Vanessa are you you're so open about
00:02:20everything what you see is what you get but Vanessa's high maintenance do you
00:02:30think Steph's trying to cause trouble I don't know but it could be the reason
00:02:35why you flew off the handle but I can't talk to Lucas you know they're so close

00:05:27myself a witness has verified there were two of you your witness got it wrong it
00:05:33was just me so this guy didn't help you
00:05:44I don't know who that is we know Robert Slade was involved we have a positive
00:05:48identification of him I don't know him I've got no idea what you're talking
00:05:52about why are you trying to protect him I'm not are you scared he's gonna do
00:05:57something to you or to your family we can protect you you don't want to add
00:06:08anything I tried to rob Lassiter's alone
00:06:18Mason Turner you were charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery will
00:06:22now take you before a magistrate to deal with your bail as this is a very serious
00:06:27charge you'll be required to appear in court in person to do it hey I'm trying
00:06:36to call you turn my phone off I need a time to calm down I'm sorry I shouldn't
00:06:43have gone off at you like that will you let me explain Steph was too shaken to
00:06:47ride I didn't want to leave the bike out there so I rode it I had no choice you
00:06:52could have put it in the van I couldn't get it up there because of my stitches
00:06:56fair enough okay I saw you on that bike and I lost it I'm sorry I feel a butt
00:07:03coming on it just feels like I asked you to do one thing and then Steph snaps
00:07:10her fingers and you do the complete opposite she knew I didn't want you
00:07:12riding on that bike I honestly feel like she's trying to cause trouble between us
00:07:17what she kept me in the dark about the cancer she somehow convinces you to ride
00:07:23is not like that you're too close Lucas you can't see it to be honest I feel a
00:07:27little threatened by you okay you are reading way too much into this Steph
00:07:32could never be that calculated you know her better than me I hope you're right I
00:07:38know she would never deliberately cause trouble between us it's just been
00:07:46bothering me I had to get it off my chest I know I know hey it's been a long
00:07:51day I need to change I need to get out of these clothes okay you go have a
00:07:55shower and I'll put Paddy down
00:08:01we're all right aren't we yeah of course
00:08:13you've got five minutes the quarters off
00:08:22did you do it how could you be so stupid sorry dad why Robbo told me he'd leave
00:08:34our family alone if I got him the money I owed him from the warehouse break-in
00:08:38so you thought you'd rob Lazarus he was gonna go to the police he was gonna tell
00:08:43them how you let Bailey go from the Mount Isa robbery I didn't have a choice
00:08:48oh my son it would have been your job down the drain Bailey would have ended
00:08:53up in juvie he told me he'd stay away from Amber I just wanted him gone away
00:09:01from everybody I was trying to do the right thing why did you tell me about it
00:09:10because I thought I could handle it myself a robbery with a weapon that was
00:09:14Robbo's idea he told me we'd only need it if we were gonna break in I'm going
00:09:25to jail on it we're gonna do everything we can to help you but you need to stop
00:09:33protecting Robbo he's been identified they know he was involved you're only
00:09:38digging yourself deeper what if he dogs and I still tell him
00:09:42forget about that you need to cooperate we'll deal with the consequences later
00:09:47if Robbo talks right now we need to look after you you should have told me mate
00:09:53I don't want to go to jail
00:09:58Vanessa thinks Steph is deliberately causing trouble
00:10:11what sort of trouble she thinks she's doing stuff to come between us that's
00:10:16crazy right well you did leave the wedding to go big
00:10:19step up she's a mate she was in trouble what was I supposed to do you guys are
00:10:25close I can understand why Vanessa would be a little apprehensive but Steph's not
00:10:35like that she doesn't play games I'm not saying she is playing games I just think
00:10:39that she wants to be close to you that's it well think about it before she
00:10:43went into jail you guys are a couple so she trusts you and you're also a link to
00:10:46Adam because of his uncle yeah maybe Steph is pushing Vanessa away just to
00:10:51get closer to you why you put a lot of thought into this no no Sonia yeah look
00:10:59the fact is Steph is missing her kids she's all alone she must be going
00:11:03through hell and you are her only real support listen buddy I gotta go I got a
00:11:09plane to catch and bags to pack oh yeah thanks for the chat and have a great
00:11:12honeymoon yeah I'd send you a postcard I'm gonna be busy doing nothing you may
00:11:22have a point about Steph but I don't think she's trying to come between us on
00:11:27purpose then why is she doing it she's scared she hasn't got her kids she's all
00:11:35alone and I'm the only person she trusts that's pretty obvious I feel sorry for
00:11:41her she really is struggling and she's turning to you for support yeah she is
00:11:47can you blame her think about everything she's been through three years in a jail
00:11:52cell having her kids taken off her and now she's back here with no one else on
00:11:59her side I don't know anyone survives without their kids
00:12:05Tony's trying to get her access hopefully that works out well good I'm
00:12:10glad I'm glad we're finally talking it feels like all we do is fight it's not
00:12:16fun is it look nothing is more important to me than you and Paddy you
00:12:25know that don't you I do
00:12:33maybe you should go see what she needs you and you'd be okay with that I can't
00:12:45say it thrills me but you're right she's going through so much and you're
00:12:50her friend and one of the reasons I love you is your big beautiful heart
00:12:59thank you for understanding
00:13:02you
00:13:11this is all because of me stop it you only did the robbery to get Robbo out of
00:13:17my life hey there's no point blaming anybody what's done is done when AJ gets
00:13:25here we'll talk about some strategies but right now we all just need to stay
00:13:30positive dad how bad is it are you gonna lose your job I don't know what
00:13:41about Bailey my we just need to wait and see what about Mace will he go to jail
00:13:50look I don't want to jump to any conclusions how you know about this
00:13:53stuff just tell me please I need to know
00:14:00worst-case scenario the maximum sentence for attempted armed robberies
00:14:06it's 20 years
00:14:18okay okay listen I know you're in there please can I just talk to you please
00:14:24hey hey shouldn't you be somewhere else okay

00:14:34your yelling and get off my property hey you love pushing your luck don't you
00:14:39you know I'd ring the police but your father and probably answer the phone
00:14:42please just let me inside just for one minute I need to talk to I need to
00:14:45explain what that you tried to rob my hotel what what is going on the workers
00:14:52listen we need to talk I need to explain okay explain what nice listen
00:14:57just go and pack your bags we're going to lash of this are you serious yes what
00:15:01with Romeo here and the noise going on in there I can't think straight I'm
00:15:03getting a headache okay come on go go go there you go you can stand here all you
00:15:08like and yell or I could just follow you really should ask yourself do you need
00:15:15any more trouble right now because I can be very creative now for the last time
00:15:20stay away from my niece
00:15:32hurry up I hear that silence we should make this more permanent move really oh
00:15:45well you didn't mind the tradie walking in on you the other day still it's our
00:15:49home yeah pamper yourself get yourself some room service my shop thanks Oh Kate
00:15:59tell me you're not seriously thinking of Mason and why would you waste your
00:16:03sympathy on a punk like that he's better than you think yeah he's got guts I'll
00:16:08give him that probably need him where he's going why do you think he's going
00:16:11to jail yeah you can do so much better than him
00:16:16Kate my advice for getting I'll be next door if you need anything
00:16:32Mason does love you did he tell you that he didn't have to I know my brother he
00:16:40only did this to protect my family he's a good guy deep down you must know that
00:16:48otherwise you wouldn't have been with him look if he loses any chance he's got
00:16:54with you it'll make things even worse can't you forgive him this isn't about
00:17:02whether I can forgive him or not well what is it about whether we should be
00:17:07together the answer is yes isn't it I don't know
00:17:19how's it going I'm looking for Mason's old school reports AJ needs them for the
00:17:25case well let me help this box is a mess another reason why I'm a dead certainty
00:17:34boy don't say things like that why not hi oh hi
00:17:42there's dirt all over your shoes just take them off and clean them up now I'm
00:17:55just getting a drink I don't care I said now mum things are gonna be okay you
00:18:02have no idea what if what if I just go to the cops and tell them that Mason
00:18:10what if you just listened in the first place you were warned off Robert what if
00:18:13you just done that then maybe we wouldn't be standing here discussing the
00:18:16prospect of your brother's life being ruined
00:18:32can I sit here
00:18:41I didn't mean any of what I said why not it's true I've probably just ruined my
00:18:50brother's life Mason didn't do it all for you he had Robbo money you know that
00:18:56but none of it matters anyway why is that because there's no point in talking
00:19:06about it if you don't want to talk about it I don't want to talk about it I don't
00:19:12want to talk about it I don't want to talk about it I don't want to talk about
00:19:16what is that because there's no point me blaming you you blaming yourself or
00:19:24even anyone blaming Robbo we're just trying to make excuses for Mason because
00:19:34because because we love him but it's his fault no one else's he didn't have a
00:19:48choice come on of course he did no one forced him to behave like a criminal did
00:19:54they I guess not he knows the difference between right and wrong darling at least
00:20:03you should what are they gonna do to him I really don't know but we've got your
00:20:19dad and Bailey to worry about as well anyway I'm so sorry for blaming you for
00:20:29any of this that wasn't fair I love you you know that yeah I love you too I can't
00:20:56believe you think Jackson would have been better off without you I've been a pretty
00:20:59slack mom hey I've seen you with him you're great I want to miss you but I think it's
00:21:05the right move heading back to Mount Isa did I tell you Sheila shouted me the plane ticket
00:21:11oh good on you mrs. Kenny well she's turned over a new leaf and I think that deserves
00:21:15some encouragement shame other people didn't do it before it was too late it's not too
00:21:25late for you either that'll be up to the judge won't it how's Kate taking it she doesn't
00:21:31want to borrow me go see her I tried but Paul threatened to call the cops forget about him
00:21:37shouldn't Kate be the one to decide if she still sees you not you she's made her feelings
00:21:41pretty clear no she said it to your face no go find out look I know it's hard with
00:21:49everything that's going on but it's times like these that you appreciate what's really
00:21:53important if you love her don't give up on her without a fight room service I think there's
00:22:09been a mistake I didn't order any room service okay hey I'm sorry I had to see get inside
00:22:15Paul is just next door okay yeah well you should because if he sees you he's gonna kill
00:22:19you I just want to explain why I did it you lied to me I never lied about my feelings
00:22:29for you I had to protect my family I'd never do anything to hurt you well you have the
00:22:36whole time we were together you had this big horrible secret would you stay with me
00:22:40if you knew the truth how am I supposed to trust you you know everything about me now
00:22:48it's all out there yeah that's what you said last time when you told me about juvenile
00:22:51detention but is this gonna happen again it won't I promise does AJ think you're going
00:23:01to jail maybe okay I need you I can't get through this without you everything in me
00:23:22is telling me to run run as fast as you can away from this but for some insane reason
00:23:33I want to be with you I want to be with you too I'll never be able to trust you
00:24:02birthday pancakes are ready would you be able to grab those for me please sure thing
00:24:07hey where's Mason no idea we could do this later no no operation birthday is it go come
00:24:24on everyone
00:24:32happy birthday strawberry ricotta pancakes your favorite I've got some mail here for
00:24:51you too and this is from all of us give me anything of course we did but we can't afford
00:24:59it it's your birthday don't worry about if you don't want it all of it no way I downloaded
00:25:07a whole lot of cool apps for it as well yeah now get stuck into this before you go to school
00:25:18actually I thought maybe I could stay home today why and but who cares if people are
00:25:27talking about us yeah I thought you learned that lesson from the Cassie drama you should
00:25:31go yeah I guess I'll go get some juice for everyone I'll go look after her I really wanted
00:25:43today to be about her it will be we got the party later I bet she's looking forward to
00:25:48that so did Mason say where he was no but my guess is he's trying to patch things up
00:25:52with Kate what are you up to today I just thought of some more damage control I can
00:25:58do on his behalf yeah I wish we could just lie here forever hey what's wrong last night
00:26:10you said all your instincts were telling you to stay away from me yeah but my instincts
00:26:15have been wrong before still I want you to know that if you ever want to call it quits
00:26:19I'll understand no I don't want to call it quits why do you no way good cuz I'm not going
00:26:28anywhere that'll be breakfast are you aware of what he tried to do in this hotel I did
00:26:43a terrible thing I could admit that oh in that case all is forgiven I'm sorry I want
00:26:48to make it up to you yeah I'm calling security no just stop if you just let us explain for
00:26:53one second oh you've bought it have you this miraculous explanation for an attempted armed
00:26:59robbery he was in an impossible situation he was trying to protect his family I'm not
00:27:03that old chestnut really you know he might have conned you with these pretty eyes in
00:27:07his abs but I wasn't born yesterday guys it's okay I'll leave say like I didn't find out
00:27:18myself until after you hired him Mason convinced me he deserves a second chance and this thing
00:27:22at last it is you reckon he was forced into it he was look I'm not making excuses for
00:27:28him but he did what he did for Amber what if this robo guy comes looking for him I mean
00:27:33this could be his first stop he won't we can't guarantee that and I don't want to end up
00:27:38in hospital again no Chris has got a point mate I gotta think about our safety too come
00:27:43on fellas give him a second chance please it's your call I bet if Mason stays on I
00:27:48don't know if I can what's going on Lou just told us everything and now you want me to
00:27:56go right it's okay Lucas I get it I'll save you the trouble I quit you can't I've just
00:28:06been saving your bacon Mason the way I see it Mason's best defense is to prove his good
00:28:15character I cooperating with the police secure employment stable family environment if you
00:28:19can show all that I reckon a judge will let him off at the fine and community service
00:28:22so we need referees who can testify on his behalf yeah absolutely start with his employer
00:28:26Lucas right what are you doing home shouldn't you be at work I quit you did what Lucas was
00:28:34gonna fire me anyway I just got that Mike you need that job you need to prove to the
00:28:38court that you're responsible it's too late call him back back if you have no then I'll
00:28:42do it dad I don't want to cause Lucas any more trouble okay I was in on that robbery
00:28:46I should accept the consequences even if it means going to jail Mason your dad's right
00:28:51okay while you're on bail it's unlikely you're gonna find a job elsewhere fine whatever so
00:28:59what do we do now you got to talk him around just do your best keep me posted yeah
00:29:12Matt Turner
00:29:16yes superintendent

00:29:35I've been officially suspended pending the investigation
00:29:42why didn't you tell me I was working up to it
00:29:46look Mason situation is more important I'll leave you guys to it
00:29:52Matt what are we gonna do we'll get through it you keep saying that but how
00:30:11hey birthday girl aren't you at school
00:30:16couldn't face it I wasn't even through the gates and already everyone was whispering
00:30:22oh that sucks well it won't last forever though believe me I've been through it all
00:30:30how's Mason going at work today Mason quit what why well we couldn't have someone working
00:30:38for us who was involved in an attempted robbery but it wasn't his fault he was doing it for
00:30:41me I swear Mason did this to get rubble out of my life
00:30:45my whole family is falling apart and it's all my fault hey come here
00:30:57Mason doesn't have a job he's gonna go to jail
00:31:00oh
00:31:06hey Chris keep us cool
00:31:10Chris cool it
00:31:16I said cool it mate
00:31:20what's wrong with you you've been out of it ever since you got back from lunch
00:31:23I saw Amber she reckons Mason was trying to protect her
00:31:27yeah we know that Luke told us
00:31:29yeah I know I just I didn't really believe him
00:31:33and now you do I was happy to give Mason another go you didn't really give me a choice
00:31:39I think I made a mistake I mean it would be really good for his family if he had a job
00:31:45plus it would look better for him when he goes to court
00:31:48forget one thing Mason quit
00:31:50to make things easier for you
00:31:52do you want me to rehire him
00:31:54he's not a bad mechanic
00:31:57if you want him back here it's him you have to convince not me
00:32:08she loves you guys so much
00:32:10sometimes I wish she didn't
00:32:12I'd feel less guilty
00:32:14you don't mean that your family's amazing
00:32:16I know they are just
00:32:18I wish I could stop hurting them
00:32:21well you could start by asking for your job back
00:32:24I can't once word gets around Lucas will just lose all his customers
00:32:27Mason you need that job
00:32:29so I'll get another one

00:32:55come on things aren't that drastic
00:32:57look I love you guys
00:32:59and I know you wanted this to be special
00:33:01but I'm sorry I just don't think there's anything to celebrate
00:33:09that's what we need to do but you need to keep going
00:33:11let me get that for you
00:33:13I guess Shiva isn't dead after all
00:33:15I guess not
00:33:22Mason
00:33:24Mason just hang on a second
00:33:26I've had a really rough day I don't feel like getting abused again
00:33:28why did you quit your job
00:33:30because you guys wanted me to
00:33:32I did not Lucas
00:33:34I figured it'd just be easier this way
00:33:36Lucas is happy to have you back I asked
00:33:38and we both know that being employed is gonna look a lot better when you go on trial
00:33:40why are you doing this
00:33:42I thought you didn't like me
00:33:44I don't really
00:33:46but I like Amber
00:33:48and I know that you did what you did for her
00:33:51and you also know what it's like to be accused of something
00:33:53that has another explanation
00:33:55alright
00:33:57thanks Chris
00:34:01so I'll see you at the party then
00:34:03what you mean Amber's
00:34:05not likely
00:34:07the party's cancelled
00:34:11I don't want a cake and I don't want a party
00:34:13why not
00:34:15maybe because everyone hates us
00:34:17and thinks we're a bunch of criminals
00:34:20I have seen the way that people look at us
00:34:22even Sheila has been giving us death stares
00:34:24it's like she thinks I'm gonna steal her handbag or something
00:34:26maybe you should
00:34:28give her something to talk about
00:34:30I just think you're being paranoid
00:34:32oh yeah tell that to Bailey's black eye
00:34:34okay yes
00:34:36there are a lot of idiots out there
00:34:38but I'm not inviting them to your party
00:34:40the ones who show up will be the ones who want to celebrate
00:34:44thanks for the pep talk but
00:34:46we really don't have time to do anything now anyway
00:34:48actually I think there's still plenty of time
00:34:50thanks but right now we really
00:34:52need to be concentrating on Dad, Mason and Bailey
00:34:54you're lovely
00:34:56but I don't want a party
00:35:00I thought you were supposed to be writing the ad for the new flat mate
00:35:02I was just seeing what Georgia was up to
00:35:04well she's your girlfriend here's a concept
00:35:06knock on her door and say hello
00:35:08things are still weird between us
00:35:10I feel like I can't talk to her until she
00:35:12sorts out her work issue
00:35:14so how's your investigation going inspector
00:35:16not great
00:35:18what have you managed to find out so far
00:35:20I don't even know where to start do I
00:35:22well in the meantime do something positive
00:35:24write the ad
00:35:26housemate wanted
00:35:28for broad minded household
00:35:30what
00:35:32code for gay person lives here
00:35:34must be employed
00:35:36female preferred
00:35:38you and Rhianna didn't hit it off I'm pretty sure she was a female
00:35:40we got along eventually
00:35:42and at least she knew how to put the toilet seat down
00:35:44oh Kyle here
00:35:46has plenty of time on his hands why
00:35:48because Amber's party is back on
00:35:50are you sure she sounded pretty certain
00:35:52when she sent out the text my party is cancelled
00:35:54yeah actually it's more of a surprise type thing
00:35:56well you can count me out I think that family's
00:35:58looking like trouble that's a bit harsh
00:36:00stolen money
00:36:02robberies consorting with criminals
00:36:04getting me into trouble I don't think
00:36:06that's harsh yeah maybe
00:36:08now's not the best time to go over there dude
00:36:10you know with everything going down
00:36:12you remind me not to call on either of you two if I need a friend
00:36:14well I'm just giving you the facts
00:36:16yeah well regardless of what you think of Mason
00:36:18you're punishing the whole family
00:36:20when you should be supporting him
00:36:22come on isn't that what neighbours are for
00:36:30you know what he's right
00:36:32well where are you going
00:36:34to support my neighbours
00:36:36bossy
00:36:38I believe George is innocent as well
00:36:40well I just don't know what else to do
00:36:42what if I could prove that someone else did it
00:36:44that's what I suggested to Georgia in the first place
00:36:46there's got to be something that someone's missed
00:36:48you know in the movies
00:36:50right the person who did it
00:36:52is usually the one that points a finger first right
00:36:54well that Carol woman went for
00:36:56Georgia pretty hard didn't she
00:36:58well Toadie went for a wrongful dismissal he didn't get me
00:37:00why would someone want to steal that
00:37:02medicine in the first place is there money in it
00:37:04well
00:37:06there would be value for prescription medicines like that
00:37:08on the black market yeah
00:37:10so whoever it was could be selling
00:37:18why don't you just let the hospital take care of it
00:37:20mate they've already sacked Georgia how hard are they going to look
00:37:22what can you do though
00:37:24well apparently the stuff stolen
00:37:26is popular with school students
00:37:28there's a lot of students in Erinsborough
00:37:30yeah so I figured that someone in Amber's gang
00:37:32might know more
00:37:34no Amber does not touch the stuff
00:37:36so she might know someone
00:37:38who knows someone who does
00:37:40could you ask yeah you're better mates than I am
00:37:42if it can help Georgia sure
00:37:44hey guys hey

00:40:46hey have you got a minute
00:40:48looks like it

00:40:56there's a kid at school who's selling
00:40:58prescription medication
00:41:00you for real
00:41:02yeah I mean it could be nothing
00:41:04but do you think there's maybe a connection with Georgia
00:41:06let's find out
00:41:08so this lucky kid how long has he been selling the stuff
00:41:10I don't know
00:41:12it's not like I bought any
00:41:14all I know is
00:41:16apparently he keeps it in his locker
00:41:18ready to go
00:41:20would you be willing to tell your teachers
00:41:22there's all the cops
00:41:24look I was happy to help Amber out but I don't want to get involved
00:41:26I put my parents through enough
00:41:28what if he keeps selling
00:41:30the last thing I need is them finding out I know about this
00:41:32okay but what if he sells again and it goes wrong
00:41:34I'm sorry
00:41:36but I can't help you out
00:41:38and if you tell anyone I told you I'll deny it
00:41:48um I need to ask you a favour
00:41:52no I shouldn't be doing this
00:41:54that lucky kid's the one who's done something wrong
00:41:56not you
00:41:58it's an invasion of his privacy
00:42:00who cares about his privacy
00:42:02I still need to get permission
00:42:04you know I could actually lose my job over this
00:42:06Kate if you won't do it for me then do it for Georgia
00:42:08it's her career that's going down the toilet
00:42:26I don't believe this
00:42:28what
00:42:30I thought you were certain
00:42:32yeah I am
00:42:34I mean it was
00:42:40so you're cool with Kate moving in
00:42:42I love it finally
00:42:44some civilised company around the place
00:42:46I always liked that girl
00:42:48yeah I remember when you tried to sit her up with Kyle
00:42:50not one of my best ideas
00:42:52I must admit
00:42:54well you won't be able to match make for either Kyle or Kate
00:42:56now they've both got partners
00:42:58what will you do with your spare time
00:43:00easy I'm going to find you a fabulous spunk
00:43:08hey birthday girls shouldn't do work on their birthdays
00:43:12it's the least I could do to say thank you
00:43:16so did you have a blast
00:43:18maybe a little
00:43:20a little
00:43:22ok more than a little

00:43:38well you are the most incredible person
00:43:42happy birthday
00:43:48so I'll see you tomorrow
00:43:50yeah great
00:43:52see ya
00:43:56see ya
00:44:06there you are
00:44:08just beginning to worry about you
00:44:10I always like to be the last to leave
00:44:12that way you don't miss anything
00:44:14so how good was that party hey
00:44:16did you see how happy Amber was by the end
00:44:18as a matter of fact I did
00:44:20yeah I knew that's all she needed
00:44:22just everyone there no judgement
00:44:24there's a little more to it than that
00:44:26true my gift was pretty special
00:44:28but it wasn't the gift she had her eye on
00:44:30sorry
00:44:32I think it was the gift giver
00:44:34I saw the way she kissed you
00:44:36that
00:44:38no we're just mates
00:44:40last time I checked mates don't lock lips with mates
00:44:42I think you're reading too much into it
00:44:44I don't think my reading's the problem
00:44:46well in case you've forgotten there is one major reason
00:44:48why Amber wouldn't go for me
00:44:50women wiser than Amber have been caught out on that one
00:44:52for years
00:44:54no no you're wrong Amber does not feel that way
00:44:56fine
00:44:58well if that makes you happy
00:45:00you keep that thought
00:45:02but for your own good luck and happiness
00:45:04I really hope that you can read men
00:45:06better than you read women
00:45:08I'm only where he sleeps
00:45:10what is it with babies?
00:45:12why do they fight so hard?
00:45:14if it was me I'd be down in like two seconds flat
00:45:16what you doing?
00:45:18nothing
00:45:20I'm just checking to see how many weeks
00:45:22till Christmas
00:45:24weeks don't you mean months?
00:45:26no I like weeks
00:45:28I'm just checking to see
00:45:30how many weeks till Christmas
00:45:32weeks
00:45:34don't you mean months
00:45:36I like to give myself plenty of time
00:45:38to get organised
00:45:40or you're checking dates for the wedding
00:45:42no
00:45:44why would I be doing that?
00:45:48ok ok
00:45:50I'm only looking generally
00:45:52nothing specific
00:45:54I thought we were going to wait till after my radiotherapy
00:45:56I know
00:45:58I know that's what we said
00:46:00but
00:46:02I've always wanted to get married in spring
00:46:04but
00:46:06my parents are going away for September
00:46:08and October
00:46:10which leaves us November
00:46:12but then I'm thinking it's too far away
00:46:14and potentially too hot
00:46:16I mean you'll be in a suit
00:46:18not that you have to wear a suit
00:46:20but then Paddy's going to be really hot
00:46:22it might be intense
00:46:24you know if I had my way
00:46:26I'd throw this thing out the window
00:46:28and do what exactly?
00:46:30well when you least expect it
00:46:32very romantic
00:46:34in theory
00:46:36you want your family and friends there
00:46:38I just think it's important
00:46:40to share our day with the people we love
00:46:42don't you think
00:46:44I get that
00:46:46and you know I don't really care as long as you're happy
00:46:48so
00:46:50spring wedding in November
00:46:52is pretty easy really seeing I'd marry you in a snow storm
00:46:56a snow storm?
00:46:58with a gorilla suit on
00:47:00gorilla suit?
00:47:02I'm sorry
00:47:18hey how's your trip been
00:47:20not as spacious as a car
00:47:22thanks
00:47:24for coming in and covering
00:47:26Vanessa's got a shift so I'm on Patrick duty

00:47:38he's sitting here
00:47:44alright
00:47:46yeah it's stuck in there crazy tight
00:47:48I think it
00:47:50probably needs a bit of a guys
00:47:52touch though
00:47:54oh
00:47:56is that something embarrassing
00:47:58sometimes it's just about a bit of gentle
00:48:00persuasion rather than brute force
00:48:02I'll keep that in mind
00:48:04morning
00:48:06hi
00:48:10hey
00:48:12hi how can we help

00:48:20when I accelerate
00:48:22it revs over kind of like a plane
00:48:24I'm worried I'm about to take flight

00:59:43music
00:59:50music
00:59:54oh
00:59:56music
01:00:06music
01:00:09Oh, I just wanted to see how you were doing with that self-help book.
01:00:37Yeah, you're really good, actually. You're right.
01:00:39It was a lot of practical advice, not too much of that touchy-feely stuff.
01:00:43Around here somewhere.
01:00:45Ah, here it is.
01:00:49Actually, I'm glad you popped past.
01:00:51I, um, ran into Carl earlier.
01:00:55Oh, I don't know what he's been telling you, but I'm fine.
01:00:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is... which is great.
01:01:02But it just reminded me we haven't talked lately.
01:01:05We talk all the time.
01:01:07Not about important stuff like Adam.
01:01:10You know, if you wanted to chat to Dan about him,
01:01:13or maybe even arrange a catch-up, I'm sure it can be done.
01:01:16Thanks.
01:01:18I can't.
01:01:21When I gave Adam away, I knew I wasn't going to be a part of his life.
01:01:24I've accepted that.
01:01:26And Charlie?
01:01:29He's better off without me. They both are.
01:01:32There's just no other way it can work right now.
01:01:34I... I have to get my own life sorted first.
01:01:39You will.
01:01:41I've got faith in you.
01:01:43Thanks.
01:01:44Want a cuppa?
01:01:45Yeah, I'd love one. Thanks.
01:01:50Hey, was it...
01:01:52Was it hard for you to tell Vanessa about your past?
01:01:55What, about us?
01:01:57No, not just us.
01:02:00Well, Vanessa and I were mates before we got together properly,
01:02:03so we talked about all kinds of stuff.
01:02:05Oh, you're lucky.
01:02:08It's going to be a tricky conversation if ever I start dating again.
01:02:12I went out with him, and I was married to him and him and him.
01:02:16And did I mention I had some kids?
01:02:19Yeah, well, I don't ask too much about Vanessa's exes.
01:02:23Some things better not to know, I reckon.
01:02:25Why, even kids and marriages?
01:02:28Kids one, marriages nil. That's all I need to know.
01:02:39Hello?
01:02:41Hi, we, um...
01:02:43We just got back.
01:02:45So I see.
01:02:49Callum told me what's happened since we left.
01:02:51Right.
01:02:52And I just... I wanted to come and check that you were OK.
01:02:56Well, my husband's facing the sack.
01:02:58Mason might go to jail, Bailey might end up in juvie,
01:03:01and Amber's had her heart torn out.
01:03:03How do you think I am?
01:03:05I... I'm... I'm so sorry that it's come to this.
01:03:09A little bit late for that.
01:03:10Oh, no, is there anything that I can do?
01:03:13I think you've done enough.
01:03:16Could we just have a coffee and...
01:03:18Look, I get why you had to dob Mason in.
01:03:20What I don't understand is why you couldn't have come and told Matt and I about it first.
01:03:23Oh, Lauren, I wanted to...
01:03:24I appreciated a heads-up, that's all.
01:03:28Now, listen, I don't have time to stand here and socialise with you.
01:03:30I have a family I have to try to keep together.
01:03:37Someone's in a good mood.
01:03:38Yeah.
01:03:39It's good to see young girls focusing on something other than their social networking wars.
01:03:43Yeah.
01:03:44So different to when we were growing up.
01:03:46I know, right?
01:03:47In our days, bullies have to be up front.
01:03:49None of this trolling, anonymous business.
01:03:53Do you need me to stay any longer?
01:03:54No, I've got it.
01:03:56Matt, you get home to that hubby and bubs of yours.
01:04:23Hey, didn't think you'd feel like cooking, so I, um...
01:04:43What's wrong?
01:04:45I went to see Lauren before.
01:04:47Oh, yeah? How is she?
01:04:48She's not good.
01:04:49Not good.
01:04:50Not that I stayed for long.
01:04:51She was pretty cold towards me.
01:04:52She, um...
01:04:54She even walked off on me.
01:04:55Why would she do that?
01:04:57I...
01:04:58Well, I don't know, Jared.
01:04:59Maybe it's because I'm responsible for her son being arrested.
01:05:02Her son used our wedding as an alibi to attempt a robbery.
01:05:04Yes, but we could have gone to her first.
01:05:06You did what you had to do.
01:05:07Yeah, well, I don't think Lauren sees it that way.
01:05:09She's got no right to be like that.
01:05:10No, no, no.
01:05:11I...
01:05:12If it was switched, I'd probably be the same way.
01:05:14Why?
01:05:15Because, again, it's family.
01:05:16When it comes to family and friends, family's always gonna win out.
01:05:18Okay, sure, but you don't take it out on others.
01:05:20Yeah, well, she did.
01:05:21She did.
01:05:23And we were getting to be really good friends.
01:05:29Hey.
01:05:30G'day.
01:05:31Long black?
01:05:32You know me too well.
01:05:33Oh, um, we're doing a new marketing drive.
01:05:37If you like Harold's on Facebook, you get a free coffee.
01:05:40And then my Facebook will be clogged up with ads from Harold's.
01:05:43It's a free coffee, Lucas.
01:05:45You do know me too well.
01:05:50Oh.
01:06:00That's weird.
01:06:02It's not working?
01:06:04No.
01:06:05I got a message from some bloke who reckons he was married to Vanessa.
01:06:08Oh.
01:06:10Maybe it's spam.
01:06:12Dear Lucas,
01:06:13I saw your name next to Vanessa's on the website for the Patrick Fund.
01:06:17Uh, I used to be married to her.
01:06:19Can you let her know I'm going to be in town for a couple of weeks?
01:06:21I'd love to catch up to Alec Poccoli.
01:06:24Who's he?
01:06:25Some bloke I've never heard of.
01:06:27He's obviously got Vanessa mixed up with someone else.
01:06:29Yeah.
01:06:30Oh, better tell this guy to look somewhere else.
01:06:32Hmm.
01:06:43Who's your mate, Bale?
01:06:45Yeah.
01:06:46How was that?
01:06:47Uh, you know how it is.
01:06:49Could have been worse, I suppose.
01:06:51Yeah.
01:06:52Heard what happened with Matt and Bailey.
01:06:54They can't be easy, either.
01:06:56No.
01:06:58Your mum seems pretty cut up about it.
01:07:01She is.
01:07:02She's trying not to show it, but she is.
01:07:05Oh, she actually had a go at Sonia before.
01:07:07She seems to blame Sonia for what's happened.
01:07:09I had no idea she felt like that.
01:07:11Well, she does.
01:07:12And while I appreciate that your family's going through a tough time,
01:07:15it's not because of what Sonia did.
01:07:17It's because of what you did.
01:07:18Yeah, sure, you had your reasons,
01:07:20but the bottom line is that you broke the law
01:07:22and you put other people in danger,
01:07:24and my wife shouldn't have to cop it because of it.
01:07:26You got it?
01:07:28I ran into Toadie.
01:07:31He said you had a go at Sonia for talking to the cops.
01:07:34She asked me how I felt, and I was honest.
01:07:36You know she had to do it, right?
01:07:38No, she didn't.
01:07:39What was she supposed to do, Mum?
01:07:41Just pretend like it didn't happen?
01:07:43You should have come to me first, or Matt.
01:07:46Why?
01:07:48Because she's a mother
01:07:49and she should have understood the consequences of her actions.
01:07:51I'm pretty sure she did.
01:07:53Then she could have tried to understand why you did it then.
01:07:56What difference would it have made?
01:07:57Because if she'd just kept quiet,
01:07:59then maybe none of this would have happened.
01:08:01None of this is Sonia's fault.
01:08:03She's the one who went to the police.
01:08:04And I'm the one who committed the crime, Mum.
01:08:06That's why I'm in trouble.
01:08:07It's the same with Bailey and it's the same with Dad.
01:08:09No, no, no, no, your family, you were protecting each other.
01:08:11We did the wrong thing.
01:08:13We lied and we covered it up and now we're paying the price.
01:08:15The only person who's done nothing wrong is Sonia.
01:08:19So do you include me in that?
01:08:23No, you haven't done anything wrong either.
01:08:26I didn't even notice anything was going on with you
01:08:29or with anyone in my family.
01:08:31I mean, what kind of parent does that make me?
01:08:33Someone who's willing to see the best in people.
01:08:36No, it makes me someone
01:08:38whose husband might lose his job and...
01:08:48It's the two sons, a good kind of child.
01:08:51Mum, we're going to make it through this.
01:08:53I promise.
01:08:59Hello, hello.
01:09:01What a nice surprise.
01:09:04I would swing by and give Daddy a quick visit before dinner.
01:09:07Hello, Mum.
01:09:08Oi, you're greasy.
01:09:10Oh, sorry.
01:09:13By the way, I got a weird email about you today.
01:09:17Some random bloke who said he was married to you.
01:09:22Oh, yeah?
01:09:24Yeah, he said he was coming into town,
01:09:26wanted to catch up, some public pockalini, pockalini.
01:09:30What did you say to him?
01:09:32I thought he was going to mix it up with someone else.
01:09:35Right?
01:09:38Right?
01:09:41Have you been married?
01:09:43Well, Lucas, it was a long time ago.
01:09:45I was, like, 20.
01:09:47Then why didn't you tell me?
01:09:48I would have, I would have.
01:09:49It was just so long ago.
01:09:51It was stupid and complicated.
01:09:52It's a marriage.
01:09:53Yeah, I know.
01:09:54Do you still keep in touch?
01:09:55No, no, I haven't heard from him in years.
01:09:58I don't believe this.
01:10:00Lucas, let's go home.
01:10:01I'll explain everything to you from the beginning.
01:10:03I've got a lot of work to do.
01:10:04I'll wait.
01:10:06Could be a while.
01:10:10Lucas!
01:10:17Mrs Turner!
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Well, Lauren, come in, come in.
01:10:23Um, this is for you.
01:10:27Oh.
01:10:29I just wanted to say I'm really sorry.
01:10:32No, don't say, no, I'm sorry.
01:10:34I'm sorry.
01:10:35I've got a couple of really rough months up ahead,
01:10:37and the truth is I'm going to need all my friends.
01:10:40Oh, well, you know you've got them.
01:10:42You do.
01:10:44I mean, can I tempt you in a slice of your own cake?
01:10:46Oh, thank you.
01:10:47So, you were married years ago.
01:10:51I should have told Lucas, but I didn't,
01:10:53and now he's found out.
01:10:54Just start from the beginning.
01:10:58I met Alec not long after I finished high school,
01:11:01and we had this mad, insanely intense fling.
01:11:07My parents said he was right for me,
01:11:09and I thought it was because they wanted me to marry an Italian.
01:11:12We had this massive fight, and I eloped.
01:11:17I left Australia to go and stay with this family in Albania.
01:11:22It was a big mistake.
01:11:24So what happened?
01:11:26Well, I found out pretty quickly that Alec wasn't who I thought he was.
01:11:29The marriage fell apart pretty much straight away,
01:11:31but it took two years before he agreed to an annulment.
01:11:35I was alone.
01:11:36I didn't have any money.
01:11:37I didn't have anything,
01:11:38and that's why I did that stupid photo shoot.
01:11:42I was too ashamed to tell my parents.
01:11:44I didn't tell them anything.
01:11:45I didn't tell anyone.
01:11:46I didn't think I had to.
01:11:47I didn't think he was going to be back in my life.
01:11:50Have you told Lucas?
01:11:52Only that it's true.
01:11:54I think that you need to talk to him
01:11:56and just explain what happened.
01:11:58Yeah, but what if he doesn't forgive me?
01:12:00I mean, this whole time I've known him,
01:12:02I haven't said a word.
01:12:03Yes, but Vanessa, he loves you.
01:12:05You just need to tell him what you told me.
01:12:21You all right?
01:12:23Yeah, fine.
01:12:24You sure?
01:12:26I'm not sure I've got anything right about this.
01:12:29Why? What's wrong?
01:12:31I don't want to talk about it.
01:12:33Do you want me to call Vanessa?
01:12:37Definitely not.
01:12:40All right, well, just call if you need anything.
01:12:45Why didn't you mention him before today?
01:12:48I guess it was easier pretending it never happened.
01:12:53A marriage is a lot of pretending.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:57I don't know.
01:12:58I put it down to temporary insanity.
01:13:00Even the whole time we were engaged last year,
01:13:02you never mentioned him.
01:13:04I don't know.
01:13:05I don't know.
01:13:06I put it down to temporary insanity.
01:13:08I mean, even the whole time we were engaged last year,
01:13:10you never mentioned him.
01:13:12I guess that's why I let things go as far as they did.
01:13:16How?
01:13:18Well, I figured my first marriage was about being young
01:13:21and wild and impetuous and...
01:13:23And your second marriage?
01:13:25It would be different.
01:13:27Right, so you're saying you never really loved this Alec guy.
01:13:30I was crazy about him.
01:13:32I was young and in love.
01:13:35I thought he was perfect.
01:13:37Right, so you're saying this Alec guy
01:13:39Right, so you're saying this Alec guy
01:13:42is the big love of your life and I'm what?
01:13:44Just Mr Reliable?
01:13:46No, I'm saying you can't compare the two.
01:13:49Obviously not.
01:13:50Mr Reliable's so much more boring.
01:13:52Oh, Lucas, no.
01:13:53Maybe you've just talked yourself into this.
01:13:55What do you mean?
01:13:56Maybe we've been fooling ourselves the whole time.
01:13:58Maybe you're not into this relationship like I am.
01:14:00Of course I am.
01:14:02I can't get married like this.
01:14:04What?
01:14:05I'm not going to be some poor consolation prize
01:14:07because you gave up on real love a long time ago.
01:14:11I'm sorry, but the wedding's off.
