00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02I'm going to miss you so much.
00:08You shouldn't be spending all this money.
00:10No one is going nowhere
00:12until I get my cash.
00:14What money is he talking about?
00:16Is that how you could buy the car and all that other stuff?
00:18Paulie!
00:20Come out of there!
00:21Quinn!
00:22Who's Quinn?
00:23Rodwell!
00:26Billy!
00:27Why were you with him?
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect blend
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59Should be there for good friends
01:05No, I...
01:07I wasn't with Quinn.
01:10I have to go.
01:11Wait, no, no, no.
01:13He wasn't meant to be there, okay?
01:15I went to the Waterhole to meet my mentor,
01:18but Quinn was there instead.
01:19When?
01:21No, he tricked me.
01:24Look, Quinn was a mess when I arrived.
01:28Okay? And I was so angry.
01:30I just knew if I confronted him in the bar
01:32that I would make...
01:33I'd make this whole scene,
01:35so I took him into the office.
01:38And then everything started happening and...
01:42Yeah, I was...
01:43I was in there the whole night with him.
01:47But it was because I was terrified
01:49and there was this gunman outside the door.
01:52I have to take victim statements.
01:55Yeah, but I'm a victim too.
02:08Why hasn't anybody interviewed me yet?
02:11They're probably just busy with Just.
02:15He's going to tell them that I'm the reason
02:17that he held everyone hostage.
02:20Can I be charged for that?
02:22No.
02:23Don't worry.
02:24You can't be held legally responsible
02:25for somebody else's actions.
02:28Just my own?
02:30We'll worry about that when we need to.
02:34Andrew, can you please tell me exactly how much trouble I'm in?
02:37I know it's probably a lot, but...
02:38Why don't you just tell me your side of the story first?
02:41Okay?
02:46You guys should probably go.
02:47This might take a while.
02:49No, we'll be right outside.
02:53Okay.
03:07That feels better.
03:09I've got to tell you, being trapped with a gun-toting maniac
03:11is not exactly my most favourite way to start the day.
03:14Yeah, well, you're allowed to feel rattled, Paul.
03:16I am, and I wasn't even there.
03:20Is that your way of saying you were worried about me?
03:23Um, I should let you get some sleep.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Actually, um, Therese, wait, I...
03:29I, uh...
03:31There was a moment last night where I really thought
03:33that my luck had run out.
03:36My heart's been pounding ever since, so...
03:39What I'm trying to say is I really don't think sleep's
03:41on the cards at the moment.
03:44Oh, well, at least just try and get some rest.
03:46Yeah, I fully intend to.
03:48Carl's been pushing the new Gluggin series onto me.
03:51I didn't think he was getting royalties.
03:53What, there's a new series?
03:54Yeah.
03:55Yeah, no, it's not...
03:56It's a remake, American remake, set in Vegas.
03:58Vegas?
03:59Yeah.
04:00Do you want to watch it with me?
04:02I mean, that's, of course, unless you've got something
04:04more important to do at home.
04:11Someone will be around to impound your car soon.
04:13If I could ask that you just don't leave Melbourne
04:15for the time being?
04:16Is that really necessary?
04:17It's fine.
04:18Will she be charged with anything?
04:21Well, even though she's admitted to the theft,
04:23we still need to gather more evidence before we can proceed
04:25with any charges.
04:27Also, Holly's involvement in Justin's prosecution
04:30and the case against Heath and Tess and all these things
04:34have a significant effect.
04:36If I can just ask everyone's patience while we work through it.
04:39If I'm charged, could I go to jail?
04:43Sentencing is up to the judge.
04:45OK, let's get you home.
04:47Great, I can wait for Paul to fire me.
04:54The next witness is ready for you.
04:56Great.
04:57Um, you might want to be extra gentle on this one.
05:00He's in rough shape.
05:01Who is he?
05:02Quinn Lau.
05:05Um, can you handle this one?
05:08I'm going to get started on Hoyland's paperwork.
05:11Sure thing.
05:16You should forget the interrogation.
05:19Just punch the guy in the head.
05:21Oh, yes!
05:23He did it.
05:24Ah, yeah.
05:25Subtlety when you get a detective built like a Sherman tank, eh?
05:28Am I imagining this or is this actually really entertaining?
05:31Well, I think it might have something more to do with the company
05:34rather than the show.
05:40Uh, sorry to interrupt.
05:45What's up?
05:46I'll come back later.
05:47No, no, no, it's fine.
05:48I, um, I should go and check on Susan, actually.
06:05So, what's the problem?
06:06It's about Holly.
06:10Paul said he'd think about keeping Holly on at the hotel.
06:13Well, what's to think about?
06:15Holly earned that money fair and square for what she got put through with Heath.
06:19Not in the eyes of the law.
06:20And Paul has Lassiter's to take into consideration.
06:23Well, Krista has a say, doesn't she?
06:25Surely she won't let her go.
06:37You all good?
06:38You all good?
06:40You know her mum wasn't answering her phone last night?
06:43Yeah.
06:45It's because she was hiding out in the water hole.
06:48With Quinn.
06:50Oh.
06:51Uh, were they...
06:53She said nothing was going on.
06:55But Dad is just so mad at her.
06:58And what about you?
07:00Well, I was scared for her.
07:03But not after I found out she was with Quinn.
07:08See, I'm stuck in the middle again.
07:11Have you thought about maybe asking them to leave you out of it?
07:14Well, if I do, it's just going to take them ten times longer to make up.
07:16Okay, okay, but it is not your responsibility.
07:20Sadie.
07:22Can we please talk?
07:28We made it out.
07:29And that's all that matters.
07:30Yes, yes.
07:31Have you been to the hospital?
07:33No, no, no. I'm fine. Fine.
07:36I'm actually more concerned about Holly.
07:39I don't think it's hit her yet.
07:41The judges are back.
07:42Susan, can you come watch with me?
07:44Yeah, coming, sweetheart.
07:46Thanks for checking in.
07:52Holly's favourite TV programme.
07:54It's rubbish, of course, but a good distraction.
07:57Are you sure she shouldn't go to the hospital for a check-up?
08:01Dad, your favourite's up for elimination.
08:03Oh, no, not possible.
08:05She's the only one who can sing.
08:06I hope she can lip-sing.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Thank you for your concern,
08:11but I think it's best for Susan and Holly just to rest.
08:15Maybe you should too, mate.
08:16Do you want to head home?
08:18Me?
08:19No, no, I'm fine.
08:22Therese, you had a serious car accident a few days ago
08:25and neither slept very well last night.
08:29Oh, yes, of course.
08:33Well, just call me if you need anything.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Bye.
08:39Oh, what is she wearing?
08:41You can't dance in something like that.
08:43Dad.
08:50Did you tell Quinn to leave as soon as you saw him?
08:53Yeah, I tried, but he cornered me.
08:56And then he started apologising and explaining himself.
08:59It was a lot to take in.
09:02He was practically crying.
09:04Is it about his family again?
09:06Well, they threatened to cut him off unless he drops out of his course
09:09and then goes into medicine.
09:11And he wasn't trying to trick me into a date.
09:15He was just desperate.
09:19Still, how is that your problem?
09:21Yeah, I agree, you know.
09:23It's no excuse.
09:24He doesn't get to lure me away from my family
09:26just because he's having trouble with his.
09:28Did you tell him that?
09:30In much stronger language.
09:36It's too bad your dad doesn't believe me.
09:39Well, think about it from his perspective.
09:42I am trying.
09:43I know it must have looked bad.
09:45Really bad.
09:46He thought you were off somewhere safe with your mentor last night.
09:49Yeah, I understand that, Sarah.
09:51And I am sorry that he got such a shock, but so did I.
09:55I was scared too, Mum.
10:00I didn't ask Quinn to do this.
10:03I just...
10:05I don't know how I can stop him from inserting himself into my life.
10:11That sounds like something that you need to figure out.

10:23MUSIC PLAYS
10:52MUSIC CONTINUES
11:01Piper, hi, darling.
11:05No, no, no, everything's OK.
11:08I was just thinking it might be lovely if you came to visit for a few days.
11:12I mean, I've got plenty of room for you and...
11:19Oh.
11:21No, no, no, no, no, no, don't apologise.
11:25No, no, I understand.
11:28Yes, of course, it was just a thought.
11:30Um, I'm fine on my own.
11:34Yeah.
11:36MUSIC CONTINUES
11:46DOOR OPENS
11:52DOOR CLOSES
11:53Watch out.
11:57Ah.
11:58Oh.
12:01Give it to him.
12:18Oh, my God.
12:19What?
12:21Darling, what's wrong?
12:22I'm going to jail.
12:25I'm going to jail.
12:26No, don't go.
12:27No, no, no, no, no, we don't know that.
12:29You haven't even been charged yet.
12:31My entire life is ruined.
12:33No, no, you made a mistake and we're working with the police to rectify it.
12:36Yes, and that will count for something, you'll see.
12:39Oh.
12:42SHE SOBS
12:45Oh.
12:49I don't have time to talk about this now.
12:52I'm not here for that.
12:54Who do I see about applying for an intervention order?
12:58Go home, Wendy.
13:00No.
13:01Quinn violated a serious boundary and I want to make sure he...
13:06I want to make sure that he never tries anything like it again.
13:09Look, IVOs have real-life consequences.
13:12You can't just take one out on some idiot for catfishing you.
13:17So you do believe me then?
13:21That was never the issue.
13:25Well, can you tell me what the issue is?
13:27Yes.
13:38Look, I know how betrayed you must have felt
13:42when you found out that I was in there with Quinn.
13:46But I really need you to know that I spent the whole night thinking of you.
13:51And how I knew that you were going to get us out of there safely.
13:58I almost didn't.
14:01What do you mean?
14:06I heard you calling after Quinn as I was about to give the order to move in.
14:13And I froze.
14:19My boss recognised your voice.
14:21I humiliated myself in front of my superior
14:24and I jeopardised the lives of every hostage in that building because of you.
14:28Yeah, but...
14:32I didn't know. I mean, it wasn't my fault.
14:35But you have indulged Quinn over our family so many times.
14:42You don't need an intervention order.
14:45You need to take a good look at yourself.
14:55Hey, Hoyland.
14:57Why didn't you tell me that I could get ten years for theft?
15:00Because it's not likely that you will.
15:02Not likely is still some kind of likely.
15:04Okay, look, I spoke to some of my old friends from law school.
15:07Please tell me they're the ones who actually decided to practice law.
15:09And they said that if you get charged,
15:12there's a good chance that you're just going to get off with a bit of community service.
15:15I don't know what you're talking about.
15:17I don't know what you're talking about.
15:19I don't know what you're talking about.
15:21I don't know what you're talking about.
15:22There's a good chance that you're just going to get off with a bit of community service.
15:26Seriously, that's it?
15:28That's it.
15:31Well, did you tell them how much I stole?
15:36Yes, and the circumstances that led to it.
15:40Look, Ho, you don't have a criminal record, okay?
15:43And a good lawyer is going to argue the fact that your judgment was impaired
15:46because of all the stuff that Heath put you through.
15:48That doesn't make any sense.
15:49If I can't be held responsible for Justin's actions,
15:52then why would Heath get all the blame for mine?
15:54It's different.
15:56You know it is in a court will too.
15:59If you get charged.
16:02Alright, so it's a Dutch braid to there and then just show me.
16:07Oh, that is very clever.
16:11Hello.
16:13Oh, hey.
16:15Sam, your hair looks gorgeous.
16:17I know.
16:19What's going on?
16:21Well, I was hoping we could prepare for the meeting with the education department tomorrow.
16:25The student resident cooking program.
16:28Well, I'm sorry, but I thought I was going to that meeting alone.
16:31Oh, well, I mean, there's no harm in more hands on deck, is there?
16:35I'm sorry, Therese, but I have already sent the prep documents to Lana.
16:39And Sam and I have a full day of pampering planned.
16:43Oh, that's lovely.
16:45I think we all deserve it after the stress of last night.
16:49You know, perhaps I could join.
16:52Well, that's the spirit.
16:54Just go home and run yourself a long, hot bath and read a good book.
17:00Um, yes.
17:02Yeah, at home.
17:04Of course.
17:11Hey, Therese.
17:13Hey, are you here to see me?
17:15Oh, no, just popping into the Kennedy's.
17:16Oh.
17:18But listen, if you're looking for some company...
17:20Oh, no, no, um, Jane just lent me a book.
17:24It'll be life-changing.
17:26Ah, I see.
17:28So you OK?
17:30Yeah, yeah, perfect.
17:32I mean, I've got the house to myself.
17:36OK, bye.
17:38Bye.
17:47What are you doing?
17:49Waiting.
17:51How long have you been waiting for?
17:55What's this?
17:57I blocked Quinn's number.
17:59Yeah, I should have done it before now.
18:01Yeah, OK.
18:03Wait, no, no.
18:05I thought that I had been direct with Quinn.
18:07But you were right.
18:09I clearly gave him this impression that I was going to forgive him for pulling a stunt like that.
18:12Or else why would he have tried this?
18:14Mum, that's not fair on you.
18:16Let me get this out.
18:18Don't bother.
18:20No, Andrew!
18:22Let me guess.
18:24You're going to tell me how sorry you are again and that nothing means more to you than me and Sadie, right?
18:30Yeah, because it's all true.
18:34It means less and less every time you have to say it.
18:37Dad!
18:47Sean, come in, come in.
18:49Holly!
18:51What are you doing here?
18:53I just came over to thank you for what you did last night.
18:57You really don't need to do that.
19:01Holly, you and I both know that Justin was prepared to use that gun.
19:06You may well have saved my life by stepping between us.
19:10Well, if anybody had been hurt it would have been my fault, so.
19:13I think you need to stop being so hard on yourself.
19:18I appreciate the attempt to soften the blow or whatever, but can you please just skip to the part where you fire me?
19:26I'm not going to be firing you.
19:29Why not?
19:31I think I'm hardly in a position to judge anyone for a potential criminal offence.
19:34After everything that you went through with Heath, I now understand why you made the choices you did.
19:40So, your job at Lassiter's is safe, whether you get charged or not, OK?
19:52I'd better go then.
19:58I'd better go then.
20:04There you are.
20:09Thanks.
20:23Bye.
20:53Mum!
21:11Coming up on Neighbours.
21:13Mum, please.
21:14I really need your help.
21:15Can I stop?
21:16No.
21:17I'm not your personal babysitter.
21:18We need to organise a theme for the night.
21:20No, what we really need are performers.
21:22Ladies.
21:23The person that I really want to turn to is the one person that I really should be avoiding.
