00:00Previously on Neighbours.
00:02They're charging her.
00:03With what?
00:04Involuntary manslaughter.
00:05I want you to talk to me, not try and sabotage things behind my back.
00:09I didn't sabotage you.
00:11Some family reunion.
00:13But perhaps he's the only one with his eye on the inheritance.
00:18Do you have any idea at all why she's being so difficult?
00:21You're turning Byron and Nicolette against her.
00:24It didn't even occur to you to be there for your own mother!
00:26Nan was more of a mother to me than you ever were!
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:41You can find the perfect plan
00:46Neighbours
00:50Should be there for one another
00:54That's when good neighbours
00:58No, I take that back and...
01:10Do you really believe that?
01:15Or are you just trying to hurt me?
01:20Yeah, you know, your grandmother made my childhood hell.
01:25I mean, I know she was strict with you, but with me...
01:28I know, I know, Mum, I know...
01:30And you still loved her mum?
01:31That is not true.
01:33You'd think I was a terrible mother, or was still no mother at all!
01:37I said that out of anger.
01:41I mean, of course I had a special bond with Nan, because we spent so much time together.
01:46It was never a competition.
01:48It clearly was, and I lost.
02:01House seems quiet.
02:03Boys out.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Which gives us a chance to talk.
02:07I got into the police academy.
02:18Congratulations.
02:20Maybe now is a good time for us to talk about how we move forward.
02:25Well, as long as you accept I'm not sabotaging you, or secretly hoping you'll fail,
02:30there's nothing to talk about.
02:32Was it really that simple?
02:33I want you to be okay with this.
02:38I want you to be happy for me.
02:40For us.
02:43Do not blame me for the contents of these bags.
02:46JJ went rogue.
02:47Okay, well I made a few captain's calls for the good of the family, so you're welcome.
02:55What's going on?
02:58Uh, I got into the academy.
03:01Wow, congratulations mum.
03:06When do you start?
03:07Next week.
03:08So you better start behaving yourselves, because you'll be dealing with Officer Varga Murphy.
03:13Dexter.
03:15Oh, confiscating music.
03:16Can I tell you again just how much I've missed you?
03:19Go on then.
03:20Oh, not this much.
03:22We might leave you to it, you've got a lot to catch up on.
03:24Well, thank you so much for the warm welcome.
03:26Yes, and just know that we're here for you, for all of you, if you need anything at all.
03:31Thanks, Susan.
03:31All right, we'll see you soon.
03:40I'm so sorry that this happened to you, and that you carried this around with you for so long.
03:45You must have been terrified.
03:48It's okay, Dad.
03:49I'm okay.
03:51Nellie Fish.
03:51Nellie Fish.
03:52It's me.
04:01Hey, Mom.
04:02Mm-hmm.
04:03So, I'm guessing the whole duke-it-out-with-the-whack-a-do-old-lady-plan didn't go so well.
04:13No.
04:15No, it went catastrophically.
04:17Quick at the lady, a white wine.
04:19Um, I want to know what exactly happened.
04:22Oh, it doesn't matter.
04:23I just got riled up and said a few things that I shouldn't have.
04:29Such as?
04:31It really doesn't matter.
04:33It's just...
04:34I'm surprised to say that I feel terrible, and I need to make it up to her.
04:39Well, you could invite her for dinner, and Isla's been asking about her great-grandmother.
04:43We could.
04:45No, before we get Isla involved, I need to know exactly what we're dealing with here.
04:48So, out with it.
04:50What did you say?
04:53I told her that Nan was more of a mother to me than she was.
04:57Oh, good.
04:59Can we make that a bottle?
05:04What happened to the lake?
05:06It's affecting me in weird ways.
05:10How?
05:16Well...
05:17I was at the supermarket the other day, and a trolley bumped into me, and I freaked.
05:24I jumped a mile.
05:28Do you think it'll ever change?
05:32Okay.
05:35So, what happened to you?
05:38I'm not talking about what happened to Seb, but you.
05:44He made you feel unsafe that night.
05:47And that is going to stick.
05:52This is why I'm so upset about these charges.
05:56I mean, you're a kid, and a grown man grabbed you.
06:02And yeah, okay, the police, they're just doing their job.
06:05But Seb isn't the only victim in this.
06:07I guess I didn't think about it like that.
06:14And I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that the court knows that.
06:27Okay.
06:28Plus, we've got another card up our sleeve too, don't forget.
06:34Your mum's our guardian angel and she's always looking over you.
06:51I'm coming in. Or should I put my hands up officer?
06:54Hey, not quite there yet.
06:57Hey, thought I'd come around and congratulate you in person and give you this.
07:02Oh, another gift. You're spoiling me.
07:05Oh, what is it?
07:08A hanky.
07:09That is my old police uniform.
07:11Since when do police uniforms get made out of so much spandex and have rough trade printed on the back?
07:17Yeah, okay. Well, it might not be standard issue, but it's the thought that counts, right?
07:21Oh, yeah. Thanks for thinking of me.
07:23Hey, listen, I've also been thinking of a way that we can get you to keep up with those younger recruits, right?
07:28So we've got more cardio, some low GI, high fat diet.
07:32Yeah, let's do it.
07:33Yeah, no more refined sugar.
07:36Well, at all.
07:38Good luck.
07:41You up for a run?
07:42Sure.
07:44I'll go get changed.
07:45I'm sorry I'm being such bad company.
07:55Don't be silly. You're upset.
07:57Being upset is one thing, but looking a mess is another I threw in my makeup.
08:02No, no, no. You look lovely as always.
08:05Look, I've got an idea. Something that's going to make me feel a lot better.
08:09I'll even drive you there. Hmm? Come on. Let's go. This way.
08:20Being kind and humouring a matter is one thing, but chauffeuring her around.
08:24Surely Darcy's overstepping.
08:26He's tearing up a sad resident. Stop looking for things that aren't there, Carl.
08:31That was nice work, Cadet. You're really getting your pace up.
08:41I never thought I'd thank someone for almost making me vomit.
08:44You're welcome.
08:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on. No sugar, remember?
08:54Oh.
09:01I'm going to take a shower.
09:07Remy.
09:10Look, I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here, but...
09:14You know it can be really hard starting a new training program
09:17if you don't feel like your people are supporting you?
09:19I do support her training program.
09:21Do you?
09:22Because you just gave her a look like she's a cheeky little kid.
09:27Look, maybe just give her a break.
09:29Yeah.
09:34So, has anyone been talking about me at school?
09:36Oh, well, I haven't heard anything.
09:38Apart from Ryan, but nobody's listening to that loser anyway, so...
09:41Well, that hasn't changed at least.
09:42Yeah.
09:44Hey, um, we might take these outside. I'll see you later.
09:47Yeah, sure.
09:48Did we just get dumped for a gang of cooler kids?
09:54Looks like it.
09:55Oh, my God, how bad.
10:01Oh.
10:03Listen, um, what you said to Nell before,
10:07it's what she needed to hear at just the right time.
10:10I should have been there for her.
10:14I'm so glad that you were. Thank you, Therese.
10:17No, please. I worry I didn't do enough.
10:20You know, with everything that's been going on with Paul and Chelsea.
10:24And the baby.
10:26And I would completely understand if you were distracted.
10:29But Nell's told me just how much she had her back.
10:33All right, here we go.
10:36Oh, hey, Sadie.
10:37Hi.
10:38Now, my friend here...
10:39Uh, girlfriend?
10:40My friend here, um, needs a bit of a pick-me-up.
10:43And apparently manicures are her thing.
10:45Well, you've come to the right place.
10:46Fantastic.
10:48All right, enjoy.
10:49I'll be back in a bit.
10:50See you later. Thank you.
10:51Why don't we get you settled and turn this bad day around?
10:55I don't think it's possible to turn the day around
10:57unless, of course, you've got a cure for being unwanted and unloved.
11:04Come on.
11:06And if I'd had the chance, I would have welcomed her with open arms.
11:11Just one phone call is all it would have taken
11:14and we could have avoided all of this fuss.
11:16Fuss is Nana's MO.
11:18Which is part of her charm.
11:20At the end of the day, she's made the effort to move all the way here.
11:23I really thought Jane and the grandkids would appreciate my gesture.
11:29You're Jane Harris's mum?
11:31You know her.
11:32We're neighbours. Byron's my boyfriend.
11:35Well, you've most probably heard what a horrible beast I am.
11:39It's not denying the fact that she only ever thinks about herself.
11:42She just thrives on drama.
11:45Maybe that's just her way of getting attention.
11:46Well, if it is, it's a very dysfunctional method.
11:50Uh, have you met our family?
11:53We are not dysfunctional.
11:54Okay, well, why don't I go talk to Nana?
11:57Okay, she's got to know that we're happy to have her.
12:00Maybe I should just give up on the idea and go back to my lonesome life.
12:05Well, Byron's told me a lot about you.
12:08Like how fun you are.
12:09How you're absolutely hilarious.
12:11How much he adores you.
12:13But he never said that you were a quitter.
12:16And anyway, you can't leave here until you tell me about your glamorous life in Hong Kong.
12:21Well, it really wasn't that glamorous.
12:24I want to know everything.
12:25Hey, where's Rose?
12:27Uh, catching up on some work.
12:29I'm just gonna go have some more drinks.
12:33Hey, Dad.
12:35Are you sure I didn't do anything wrong?
12:37Absolutely.
12:38You were just defending yourself.
12:40And that's what all those karate lessons were for, right?
12:42Mm-hmm.
12:44Would you mind if I organise some sessions with Rhonda?
12:48I think we could use our help on this.
12:50Yeah.
12:52Yeah.
12:54I think we could use our help on this.
12:56Yeah.
12:58Yeah.
13:00Yeah.
13:02Yeah.
13:04Yeah.
13:06Yeah.
13:08Okay.
13:11And what about school?
13:15I don't know if I'm ready yet.
13:18The longer you leave it, the harder it is gonna be.
13:21And you really need some level of normalcy back in your life.
13:25Yeah, well, I wish it was that easy.
13:28I'm not gonna lie to you, babe.
13:30Nothing about this is gonna be easy.
13:33Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith.
13:36But that's, that's your call.
13:44These are perfect.
13:45I'm glad I've still got it.
13:46I had an accident recently, so today's my first day back at work.
13:51Well, aren't I the lucky one? I've had many managers in my life, and this is up there with the best of them.
13:59And meeting you has certainly turned my day around.
14:05Oh, Nana. What a lovely surprise.
14:11Having a lovely day with your lovely girlfriend.
14:14Oh.
14:16I suppose your mum sent you?
14:17No.
14:19No.
14:20Um, I just wanted to come see how you're doing.
14:22You've always been my favorite grandparent.
14:23You remember that, that mug I made for you?
14:26The, come on, Lola, the wonky-looking one.
14:29I sent it to you for Grandparents Day.
14:31No.
14:33No.
14:35No, I don't remember.
14:37I won't be offended if it wasn't a keeper, but, um, we're sent with love.
14:44Hey, you should, uh, you should come to dinner tonight.
14:48I'm not sure that that's such a good idea.
14:51Oh, I'll be there.
14:52And I'd love to hear more about your troubles.
14:55Please.
14:56It'll be really fun.
14:58Well,
15:00I hope I don't regret it.
15:04I don't even know why I'm behaving like this.
15:09Oh, I just can't seem to get behind this cop thing at all.
15:13Dad never had good stories to tell about cops in the States.
15:19It could be that.
15:21I stopped living with Ken when I was little.
15:23I don't remember any of that.
15:27Okay, maybe.
15:29It's just the shift work thing.
15:31Well, if we're both doing it, then we'll just be ships in the night
15:33and I could just be worried I won't get to see her anymore.
15:36I doubt that would get you this worked up.
15:39Well, I can't just be general worry about the job.
15:43Yeah, especially since she could get her doing anything.
15:45I mean, look at her falling off the ladder.
15:50Yep.
15:52Nearly lost her that day.
15:54Lucky she's tough.
15:55No.
15:56She's lucky.
15:58And as a police officer, she'd be in the line of fire every day.
16:04And what if she does die next time?
16:07Next time.
16:08Kekara is the love of my life.
16:15I need her.
16:16I can't do this without her.
16:18I just feel like I'm going to lose her.
16:23I just feel like I'm going to lose her.
16:32So the moral of the story is if you go into the Grand Canyon
16:35with Angie Rebecki, take noise-cancelling headphones.
16:39The echoes will be haunting you for decades.
16:41She sang show tunes into the events.
16:44I don't know if I'm ever going to recover.
16:46Hey, we should probably meet up with Mum now,
16:47but thank you very much.
16:48Yeah, thanks for the dinner.
16:49Yeah, more than welcome.
16:53I'll see you at school tomorrow.
16:56Oh, are you sure?
16:58No.
17:00But I have to start somewhere and get back to Norton.
17:04It'll be good.
17:06If anyone says anything, we'll back you.
17:07Yeah, yeah, what he said.
17:09That's awesome.
17:11Thank you very much.
17:12See ya.
17:13I am so proud of you, kiddo.
17:18Fuck.
17:32Oh, wow.
17:34It's smaller than I remembered.
17:36Hi.
17:38Oh, and speaking of smaller.
17:42This is little Isla.
17:43Hi, I'm not little.
17:45Okay, big Isla.
17:46No, you're giant Isla.
17:50Isla, Isla.
17:52This is your great-grandma.
17:55No, no, no, no.
17:57I'm, er...
17:58I'm too youthful to be a grandmother.
18:01Let alone a great-grandmother.
18:03Arrrr!
18:05Well, maybe we can come up with another name to call Nana Amanda.
18:09Ah, olsun.
18:11I wonder what Zsa Zsa Gabor had her great grandchildren call her.
18:15Ooh, I used to love her.
18:16Hudak what do you think?
18:18Zsa.
18:21Zsaacom!
18:23Hey, come here you!
18:26Hey, sorry I'm late.
18:29Oh, um, I guess Amanda didn't tell you I was coming.
18:33I invited my new boyfriend.
18:35I didn't want to be outnumbered.
18:37She means a boy who's a friend.
18:39I bought this.
18:41Hi.
18:42You didn't tell him I was coming.
18:44Oh, I know.
18:45I forgot.
18:45Nana, um, you don't remember the wonky mug?
18:49This is the one I made for Mum,
18:50but you don't remember the one that I made for you?
18:52No.
18:53Oh, uh, maybe you made it for Nan Mangle and not for me.
18:57I mean, she was basically your grandmother.
19:01I'll get some wine.
19:06Mum, I can hear you grinding your teeth from across the room.
19:09Relax.
19:11Yeah.
19:13You know, you're pretty good at this brotherly advice thing,
19:15you know that?
19:16Somebody's got to steer you right.
19:18Seriously.
19:19I like when we talk.
19:21Who knew you'd be so wise?
19:23Aw.
19:24Your face is wise.
19:26And we're back.
19:27See you.
19:28Hey.
19:28Bye.
19:31Is your brother really shooting hoops in the dark?
19:33He's bleeding off steam.
19:34You didn't let him get dessert.
19:36You know what?
19:38I'm going to bed.
19:40What are you, five?
19:41So early.
19:42Yeah, well, I'm going to train in the morning.
19:45Night.
19:47Night.
19:48I might, uh, head in soon too.
19:51Hey.
19:51Hey.
19:52Okay, I need you to go get your brother.
19:54I need your help with something.
19:55It's for your mum.
20:04There we go.
20:05Now that was better than yesterday.
20:07Okay.
20:08So, let's do this.
20:10Woo-hoo.
20:11Oh, yeah, no, we, um, we just finished.
20:14Yeah.
20:15Yeah.
20:16I didn't know you were actually going to get up at the crack of dawn, but it's a thought
20:20that counts, right?
20:21Look, I know I've struggled to support you in this.
20:27I didn't mean to bring you down.
20:30I'm just scared.
20:31And I think I need a bit more time to get used to you being a cop, but in the meantime, I
20:37really do want to support you.
20:40The real reason why I didn't get up on time, sleepyheads over there.
20:45Hey.
20:48That's really sweet.
20:48Oh, come in.
21:04Hey, Amanda.
21:05It's just me.
21:07Thought I'd check in.
21:08Are you feeling dusty today, after last night?
21:11Was it just me?
21:13I think it's just you.
21:14I'm as fresh as a daisy.
21:17Well, I'm glad it went smoothly.
21:19You know, maybe my family's not so bad after all.
21:23Although Jane might have been trying to kill me with sugar.
21:26I mean, did you see the size of that trifle?
21:30Yeah, well, the trifle's your favourite.
21:33Yes, and she knows it.
21:34Oh, okay.
21:36Um, well, I'd better run.
21:39Wish me luck with this hangover.
21:42Good luck.
21:58Hi, Nils.
22:00Welcome back.
22:03Well, if there's anything that you need, you know where to find me, okay?
22:08Hey.
22:10School's finally bearable again.
22:12You know, you're the only reason he comes here, right?
22:13Well, I mean, what else is there to come for?
22:15You know, you've got your boring kids and your boring teachers.
22:17I am going to pretend that I heard you said life lessons and a solid education.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Yeah.
22:24Yeah, they've probably already forgotten who you are.
22:33What's that smell?
22:34Coming up on Neighbours.
22:52You don't want it to look like you're forming an inappropriate relationship.
22:55What is it going to take to win your trust?
22:57Is Sadie the real reason that you don't want to move?
23:01Or has your career got something to do with it?
23:03Nell was just starting to feel positive again.
23:05How am I going to get her through this?
23:06Hey, hey.
23:07You're going to try and get the charges blocked.
23:09Let's go.
23:09I got it.
23:13Let's go.
