00:25Episode 547, A Friend in Need

00:29If you're ever in any trouble, please come to me. Peter said no matter what the problem is, okay.

00:36Bear responded with a casual nod, but she had no intention of ever asking for help.

00:42After the incident at the engagement party, Claire and Peter once again made the headlines,

00:48as it had become clear that the relationship between Noelle and her former boss had now

00:53completely soured. Everyone knew that Noelle's fiancé had tried to humiliate Peter at their

00:59engagement party. Unfortunately for him, Claire had stepped up to put him in his place.

01:06Entertainment news always spread like wildfire, and the photos of Peter and Claire started to

01:11appear everywhere. Pete didn't mind at all, but it turned out to be disastrous for Claire.

01:17Her abusive father was furious to see her face plastered alongside the former pop star.

01:23He reacted by locking her in the house and refusing to let her leave.

01:28Peter was having lunch with Emma at her apartment when the conversation took a

01:32turn towards his love life. I'm assuming there's no longer anything between you and Noelle.

01:38Misstated. Grandfather used to have really high hopes for the two of you,

01:43but I was never quite sure if she was the best choice.

01:47She's a great assistant, but she doesn't seem to have a good grasp on her personal life.

01:52I'm pretty sure I know where this is going, her brother replied, rolling his eyes.

01:58We've all seen the newspapers and videos online. Claire really stood up for you.

02:03Emma said, all I'm saying is that it was nice to see someone fight in your corner.

02:08She sure is feisty, Peter said, unable to contain a smile. She doesn't pretend to be

02:16something she's not either. Obviously, he stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing that it had been

02:23an entire day since their presence at the engagement party had attracted public attention,

02:28and that Claire hadn't responded to his texts. The rumors about the two of you are spreading

02:34like wildfire, and I've heard that her father isn't a particularly nice guy.

02:40What Emma was inferring hung in the air between the two siblings.

02:44Do you think you should check on her? Thinking about the way Edward Baines had physically and

02:50emotionally abused his daughter in the past, Peter dropped his fork and quickly grabbed his

02:55jacket as he headed for the door. Sorry to run, but there's something I need to do, he said.

03:01Catch you later. Peter hadn't given any thought to how Claire's father was likely to react to

03:07her presence in the headlines. Now, though, he was becoming very worried. Her father must have

03:13lost his temper, he thought, hitting the gas as he rushed over to the Baines household.

03:19But when he arrived, he realized that knocking on the front door wouldn't get him very far.

03:25If Claire's father didn't want him to come in, he looked around the house and realized that

03:30a convenient tree grew just outside of Claire's bedroom window. After carefully making his way up,

03:37he caught sight of Claire and quietly tapped on the glass. Are you crazy?

03:45She asked in hushed tones while lifting up the window.

03:48Climb back down. This is dangerous. Are you locked in there? If you want to leave, I can help you.

03:58Peter stated, still clinging to the tree. Claire cautiously glanced at the door behind her

04:04and then turned back to Peter. I can't leave, she replied. I seem to remember you scaling the

04:12walls of the school dorms like it was nothing when we were kids. Are you too much of a chicken these

04:18days? Peter asked. If I leave, he'll cut off access to my money. I won't even have a credit

04:25card. Seeing the anxious look on her face, Peter laughed. Credit cards are the last thing you need

04:32to worry about right now. You'll be fine. You can stay at my place, he said. Are you asking me to

04:38move in with you? Claire asked in shock. I'm asking you to move in with me and several other members

04:45of my family. Peter was beginning to lose his grip, so he began to rush her. I can't hold on

04:52for much longer. We need to go. Once Blair thought for a moment before gritting her teeth and climbing

04:59out the window, soon enough she was demonstrating that she was still just as nimble as she had been

05:05when they were children. It's not every day that you see a woman climbing down a tree, he thought

05:10with a smile. No matter what methods her father tries to shape her into the straight-laced daughter

05:16that he seems to want, she's always going to have a wild streak. It wasn't long before the two of

05:23them were running out of the main gates and getting into Peter's car. As they closed the doors,

05:29they burst out laughing. I must admit that was pretty exciting. Claire said, I haven't climbed

05:36down like that since I was a kid. It was then that Peter noticed the bruises on her arms and the back

05:41of her neck. She had tried to conceal them, but the purple and red smudges peeked out from her collar

05:48and sleeves. Did your father hit you? he asked. It's nothing I can't handle. Claire responded,

05:56looking away from her friend. How could anybody do this to their own daughter? He wondered,

06:02feeling his heart sink. Listen, if you want to talk, I'm here for you, he said. So where are we

06:11going? she replied, clearly wanting to change the subject. Where do you want to go? Peter asked.

06:18He was prepared to take her wherever she wanted. We could pay our old school a visit. No way.

06:25I never wanted to be there when I had to be. I'm not willingly going back. Claire responded,

06:32I need you to be honest with me. Peter said, realizing she was trying to joke her way out

06:37of a difficult conversation. What would your father do to you if you went back home after this?

06:44Claire squirmed in her seat. What could he do to me? I'm his daughter, she responded. Frustrated

06:51with her answer, Peter gently took hold of her wrist and rolled up her sleeve to reveal the

06:57bruises and red marks that covered her arm. At school, everyone always knew that your dad was

07:04violent. After all these years, I was stupid to think that he might have changed. It's no big

07:10deal. I'm fine. Claire replied, pulling her arm away. Peter sighed deeply and asked another

07:17question. Haven't you ever thought about getting away from him? I think about leaving every day.

07:24I imagine packing up my things and going somewhere no one knows me so I can live my own life.

07:30Player answered, leaning her head back on the headrest. He's still my father though.

07:36Nothing's going to change that. Peter felt the pain of her dilemma. So he started the car. Forget

07:43about the road trip for now. I think we need to get you to a hospital. A wave of nausea hit him

07:50as he thought about the marks he had seen on her arms. Someone needs to check you over.

07:56Claire was clearly unsure about whether this was a good idea, but he wasn't going to back down.

08:02Let me do something for you now, he said. This time, she relented and sat quietly as he drove

08:09her to the nearest hospital. Peter was sure that he would be appalled by whatever Edward Baines

08:15had done to his daughter, but his jaw dropped when the doctor asked her who was responsible

08:21for the multiple new and old injuries that were all over her body. Episode 548, Meet Me Halfway.

08:30All over her body. Peter thought as he froze to the spot. What kind of man would treat his

08:36own daughter like that? Although they're all external injuries, they're very extensive,

08:42the doctor continued. Obviously taken aback by the situation himself. I encourage you to get an

08:48order of protection and file a police complaint. I would also like to refer you to a domestic

08:55violence agency. Claire just turned her head away. I also want to have someone from our social

09:01services department come talk with you. The doctor said, I can't do that. Claire responded.

09:10Please don't send anyone here. Can you please prescribe her something for the pain? Peter asked.

09:16We'll talk more about the other things when we're alone during the whole consultation.

09:21Claire had refused to look the doctor in the eyes. But now that the doctor had left,

09:26Peter was determined to talk to her. As someone who's known you for a long time.

09:32I can't sit by and let this happen to you. What can we do to stop your father from laying his

09:37hands on you again? He asked. This is really no big deal. I've had a lot worse. She said,

09:44almost as if it hadn't happened to her personally. Peter felt his nausea worsen.

09:50I've tried to defend myself, but he's so much bigger and stronger. Claire stated,

09:56feeling relieved when her friend took hold of her hand. If you try to hide me somewhere,

10:01it'll only make things worse. I agree that there's no point in hiding.

10:06Peter responded as he rubbed his chin. What are you thinking? She asked. Nothing concrete right

10:12now. Just get some rest. Peter sat on the chair in the hospital room and watched Claire try to

10:19drift off to sleep. What have I gotten myself into? He wondered. A few hours later, Claire woke up.

10:27I can't sleep anymore, she said. Will you watch Stupid with me again? I would suggest Weird

10:33Husband, but it's not streaming yet. Hang on a minute, Peter said. He pulled out his phone and

10:40gave Emma a call. Did you find her? His sister asked. Yes, I did. Peter said, smiling at Claire.

10:49Look, I was supposed to be flying out of the U.S. tomorrow, but that's not looking likely right now.

10:57Claire needs my help. You don't need my permission, Emma responded. Sounding a little amused,

11:04I'm well aware of that, her brother said. But I do need your help with something.

11:10Claire wants to watch Weird Husband, but she can't get to the theater right now.

11:15Is there any chance you could get a hold of a copy for us? Sure. Just ask Luke. Thanks, sis,

11:23Peter exclaimed and hung up. In the meantime, Claire's cheeks had turned pink as she realized

11:29just how much effort he was going to on her behalf. You honestly don't have to do all of this,

11:36she said. It's fine, Peter said. You just got me out of an awkward situation at Noel

11:42engagement party. Let me take care of you for a change. Friends do this kind of thing for

11:48each other, don't they? He thought, reassuring himself that nothing else was going on.

11:54An hour later, the pair of them were watching Emma's latest film on the laptop that Luke had

11:59sent over. Peter had scooted next to her on the hospital bed and was holding a great big bag of

12:05popcorn that he had also sourced for them. Nobody's ever done anything like this for me

12:10before, Claire stated. I'm pretty overwhelmed. Please, Peter waved his hand dismissively.

12:19All I did was call a couple of people. That night, the pair of them stayed awake and laughed

12:25and joked their way through a movie marathon. All the while, neither of them dared to acknowledge

12:31the feelings that were growing between them. The next morning, Peter escorted Claire out of

12:36the hospital and helped her into his car. Where are we going? She asked. I think I should come

12:43with you to face your father, he said. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. You're never going to be

12:49able to do that, she said, looking panicked. I thought the whole point was for me to leave home,

12:56not go back. But as you pointed out, he responded, you're not going to be able to just hide from him

13:03unless you're willing to go to the police or get help from a domestic violence group.

13:08This is the next best choice. I'll be there with you, and I won't let him hurt you. I promise.

13:15He reached out and took her hand. Looking into her eyes. Okay, she said. I trust you.

13:24Realizing that his friend had put her faith in him, Peter felt relieved. But once they

13:30arrived at the house, Claire's panic returned. I don't want to see him, she said. But almost

13:36before she had finished her sentence, Peter had already opened a door and was making his way

13:42around the car to help her out. I'll help you every step of the way, he said, holding out his hand.

13:48I need to do this, Claire thought, while taking a deep breath to steady her nerves.

13:54Things can't get any worse, and I'm going to have to face my father sooner or later. Okay?

14:01Let's go, she finally replied, taking Peter's hand and stepping out of the car. Meanwhile,

14:09as he watched her steal herself to face her father, Peter once again felt a wave of admiration

14:15flow over him. She's so courageous, he mused, gripping hold of her hand a little tighter.

14:21The two of them were soon standing in the living room, receiving furious glares from

14:26Claire's father and stepmother. The two families had business ties, but Janet had also lost out

14:32on an acting award due to Emma, which was a great source of irritation for Edward,

14:37and now her younger brother was interfering in his daughter's personal life.

14:42Where have you been? How dare you stay out all night? Edward spat, directing his anger at both

14:49his daughter and Peter. When Claire didn't respond, Peter said she was at the hospital.

14:56This has absolutely nothing to do with you, Edward snapped. Peter calmly turned to Claire and said,

15:03do you want to stay here or go upstairs and get some rest? I'm going to have a chat with your

15:08father. I didn't give her permission to leave. Her father responded, his face red with anger.

15:15She's an adult, Peter said. It's her choice. Then turning to Claire, he said, do whatever

15:22you're the most comfortable with. Janet was well aware that Peter was charismatic,

15:27but she doubted that he could face her husband's wrath and win, especially as it seemed highly

15:32unlikely that his diplomacy skills could match Emma's. After all, she thought, lightning doesn't

15:39strike in the same place twice. He's not going to be able to get Claire out of this mess.

15:45Claire was worried about Peter, but when she saw that he was prepared to stand his ground,

15:50she took a gamble and headed upstairs to her room. Are you seriously going to try to negotiate with

15:57me? Edward asked incredulously. I've reduced men to tears in the boardroom.

16:04So do yourself a favor and go home before you embarrass yourself any further.

16:09I've got Claire's hospital report, Peter replied. I'm sure you're aware that my family doesn't mind

16:15appearing in the headlines. If the public finds out that the CEO of Barnes International beats

16:21his daughter, I wonder how much your market value will drop. Are you trying to threaten me?

16:27Claire's father threw his hand in the air angrily. Go ahead and do it. She's my daughter.

16:34I can punish her however I want in my own home. The law says otherwise, Peter said,

16:41angering Edward even more. If that's all you have, then I really overestimated you.

16:47The older man exclaimed, I've obviously got more on you, Peter said with a defiant grin.

16:54I just thought we might be able to meet each other halfway.
