Home and Away

Transcript
00:00You know we belong together, you and I forever endeavor, no matter where you are, you're my guiding star, and from the very first moment I saw you, I never felt such emotion, walking on air,
00:28just to know, you are there, hold me in your arms, don't let me go, I want to stay forever, close to each day, home in no way.
00:49I'm sorry, it was so full on with you mum, but you don't need to worry anymore, you're home now.
00:55Mum called a family crisis meeting to deal with me.
00:57Was it bad?
00:58We talked a lot about what I needed to do.
01:00I'm going to need to take some time off work.
01:02Oh, how long do you think you're going to need?
01:04It might be a while.
01:05Yes, mum, I have to go, I think the taxi's here.
01:08Yes, I'll be careful.
01:09Alright, I'll see you soon.
01:17Where are you going?
01:18Everything okay?
01:20Cardiologist from the city is asking for access to your medical records.
01:24Mac, what is going on?
01:25Look, I don't want to talk about this at work, so let's go.
01:27Okay, I should have told you this, the second we talked about having a baby.
01:31Totally what?
01:34Oh.
01:35Mac, just say it.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Years ago, I fell pregnant, and I lost the baby.
01:42I'm so sorry.
01:43But it turns out it was ectropic, and I got a fallopian tube removed.
01:48And now I'm so worried about what that means for us, let me play.
01:51Just hang on.
02:03Hang on.
02:04Hang on.
02:05At least let me drive you home.
02:06And spend more time in a suffocating space with you.
02:09No thanks.
02:09Well, you can sit on the roof if you like.
02:10I will walk.
02:12Your boyfriend sucks.
02:14We need to finish track three.
02:15It's done.
02:16Like me, with this conversation.
02:18Goodbye.
02:21Good day in the studio?
02:24So you're just going to move to your mum's house without telling me?
02:27For how long?
02:29I don't know.
02:30Two months, maybe?
02:31Months?
02:32Abby, come on.
02:33Can we please talk about this later?
02:35Oh, you mean once you've moved out?
02:37Okay, you know what?
02:38I need to do this.
02:39It takes as long as it takes.
02:41For what?
02:42To reset.
02:44Figure out what I'm doing with my life.
02:45Mum's house is the best place to do that.
02:47You know, I might even re-enroll in uni.
02:49I don't know.
02:50This is the first time I've heard about this the entire time we have been together.
02:54Hey, well, you don't know everything about me.
02:56I get your mum wants to help, but do you have to move out?
02:59You are doing fine.
03:01And you've got Eden and Levi here too.
03:04That's my taxi.
03:05No, Abigail.
03:06I need to go.
03:06No, you don't.
03:07You can order another taxi later if you want.
03:13You have to talk to me first.
03:15So she's upset, but how can you not know why?
03:20It started off really well.
03:22Mm-hmm.
03:22And then out of nowhere it derives.
03:24Kirby says she doesn't want to do this.
03:26Apparently, I don't know what I'm talking about.
03:28All I did was suggest we go for another take.
03:31She flies off the handle.
03:32But did you need another take?
03:33I needed about 12 more.
03:35How many had you done already?
03:36Yeah, 12.
03:38Right.
03:38And all these takes, is that normal?
03:40Absolutely.
03:41It's never been a problem before.
03:43Look, this is what happens when you record an album, okay?
03:46You get options by trying new things, leaning into what's working.
03:50And Kirby understands that.
03:51She's normally the one pushing for it.
03:54Well, that is a bit weird.
03:56Because, you know, it's not like this is the first time that you guys have been in a recording studio together.
04:00Like I said, it's the first time she's been like this.
04:02Hmm.
04:03Okay, well, should I make us some lunch?
04:07You know, a break could be good.
04:09Well, I'm sure it would be.
04:10But some of us have got to keep working.
04:11Thank you so much for your help.
04:22Yeah, if I have any questions, I'll let you know.
04:25Bye.
04:25Well?
04:29Okay, so I got through to the head optotrition at Northern Districts, Dr. Shaw.
04:34Okay, does she agree that I'm going to have problems?
04:37She said it's all down to individual circumstances.
04:40Well, that's very helpful.
04:41But she did recommend the fertility testing.
04:45Right.
04:47Could be worth looking into, don't you think?
04:51Mac, I'm not trying to scare you or anything.
04:53I was already scared.
04:55I was just hoping that you would talk me down off a ledge.
04:57And now you're talking about testing.
04:58Well, I just think it could be good to know what we're dealing with.
05:01That's all.
05:08You have to stay hydrated when you're being a perfectionist.
05:11Yeah, it might be a whole lot easier if Cody was here to help.
05:13Hey, you guys are going to sort this out, right?
05:15Yeah, we have to.
05:16And I'm not being a perfectionist.
05:18Why don't you take a listen?
05:19I'm not really the music type.
05:20Oh, babe, you've got good taste.
05:22You're with me.
05:24Come on.
05:27Okay.
05:33Kirby sounds amazing.
05:35Yeah, I know, right?
05:36But imagine more vocals laid on, like, three or four.
05:39You know, think of a whole choir of Kirby's.
05:41It would be really good in this part here.
05:45What, when the notes go higher?
05:47Exactly.
05:48Yeah.
05:48What's better than one Kirby?
05:50Five Kirby's.
05:51Wow, I know.
05:52That'd be pretty cool.
05:53And, hey, you could even do it, like, in the chorus for you, yeah?
05:56Yeah, yeah, you could.
05:58Is Brie producing music now, too?
06:00Kirby's, hey, no, I was just saying how incredible the track sounds.
06:03Really?
06:04Yeah, yeah, it's kind of something that I would listen to on, like, a long drive at night.
06:09On repeat.
06:10See?
06:11The track's already great.
06:12No need to add more to it.
06:13She's not the producer.
06:14Well, she seemed like it about seven seconds ago.
06:16Listen, we need to get back in the studio.
06:18We've got to finish this track.
06:19It's done.
06:20Isn't it?
06:23What happened to being open and honest with each other?
06:26How am I not being honest?
06:27You were just about to leave without telling me.
06:30Okay, you know what?
06:30This discussion is going nowhere.
06:32Yeah, because you can't answer any of my questions.
06:35Am I boring you?
06:36No, I'm booking another taxi.
06:38Abby.
06:38No, what if I'm not as together as you think I am?
06:40But is this what you want?
06:41Because it really feels like it's something that your mum is pushing on you.
06:48Hey.
06:49Hey.
06:51You know what?
06:51Actually, I think I'm going to have a lay down.
06:53Okay.
06:57You're not actually going through with this, are you?
07:00You knew about this?
07:01Well, mum sent a message saying Abby was going to spend some time with her, but I didn't think
07:06you'd actually go through with it.
07:07You just got back.
07:09Exactly.
07:10I know what, I can't.
07:12Abs.
07:14I'll talk to her.
07:18Before or after she leaves the bay.
07:20So that's it.
07:21No more time in the studio this week?
07:23I'm done for track three, because we got it.
07:25We clearly didn't.
07:27Brie disagrees.
07:28Does she?
07:29Look, I don't get why you're not challenging yourself.
07:31I should be allowed to approach this the way that I want to, because it's my project.
07:34God, my opinion means nothing.
07:35Oh my goodness, Remy, it's not going to be your face on the front cover of the album,
07:38is it?
07:39It's going to be mine, so we're doing this my way.
07:41No, what is your problem?
07:42I'm done.
07:43I'm so done.
07:44I need air.
07:47You just had some air.
07:48So now Sunny and Theo are safe, does this mean you get your place back?
08:00Yeah, I guess so.
08:01It must be such a relief to have all that trouble over and done with.
08:05So it must have been nice spending all that time with Remy.
08:07Actually, a part of me kind of misses the peace and quiet of home.
08:11Anyway, ladies, thank you so much for the coffee.
08:15I will see you later.
08:16Bye.
08:17Kebs!
08:18Hey, coffee?
08:20Yeah.
08:21Is that for me or the musical dictator?
08:23It's for the person that I'm offering it to.
08:28What's going on, Kebs?
08:34Remy doesn't understand what happened at the studio,
08:36and to be honest, I don't really get it either.
08:39Well, you haven't noticed how controlling he is?
08:41He's like the least controlling person I know.
08:44Right, well, you haven't worked with him.
08:47To be fair, that was your choice.
08:50I don't really want to get into it.
08:52I just don't want to see him anymore today.
08:54Okay.
08:56Let's go back to my place.
08:58Yeah, you can spend the day there.
09:00Really?
09:01Yeah, it's a Remy-free zone.
09:02I promise.
09:04I get it.
09:07I told you, I need to get my life back on track.
09:11Says mum.
09:12Well, maybe she's right.
09:14Maybe she's treating you like a baby.
09:15Like you always say she does.
09:18You've never listened to her before.
09:20Why start now?
09:22I'll tell her you said that.
09:25Okay.
09:25Remind me why you didn't tell her about your addiction.
09:31Because you didn't want the disappointment and the criticism?
09:34No, it wasn't like that, Levi.
09:36We actually...
09:38We talked and it was good.
09:41That's great.
09:42But it has to be your decision to move away.
09:46Not hers.
09:47And I don't think you should shut Marley out altogether.
09:51We all love you, Abby.
09:53Yeah, and I love you too.
09:54But mum's right.
09:55I can't live with my brother and his girlfriend forever.
09:58When does that leave Marley?
10:00Well, I'm not breaking up with him if that's what you're thinking.
10:03Does he know that?
10:04Hey.
10:17Anything okay out there?
10:20I don't know.
10:21Oh.
10:22I hope so.
10:22Well, Dr. Shaw was right.
10:30It's all down to individual circumstances.
10:32Okay.
10:33So let's do the fertility test.
10:36I don't know.
10:37I feel like it's still early days.
10:39Maybe we just give it more time.
10:40Mac.
10:42If something is going to stop us from conceiving,
10:45I'd rather know about it as early as possible.
10:48Or maybe I don't want to know.
10:51I understand.
10:51And I just...
10:52I don't want to talk about it anymore.
10:54I don't want to talk about it anymore.
11:10Wow.
11:12I love what Theo and Sonny have done with the place.
11:14Tell me about it.
11:16Leave.
11:22You know what?
11:24I'm not going to clean it.
11:26Good on you.
11:27Where are they anyway?
11:28Theo said he went down to the station.
11:30The police had a few more questions for them.
11:33Piece is nice.
11:35Compared to your place.
11:36Oh, yeah.
11:38I'm sorry that you're stuck in the middle of everything.
11:40Are you going to tell me what everything is?
11:45I...
11:45Do you know how much this album is costing?
11:50And then when we go over time,
11:52the bill just skyrockets.
11:54Wait.
11:55So you're feeling guilty about spending Remy's money?
11:57Yes.
11:58I never should have accepted it.
12:00Yeah, but then you would have had to have found
12:01another bagger for the album.
12:02Bree, it's costing thousands.
12:06So did my Hextat.
12:07Remy paid off your uni fees.
12:09Mm-hmm.
12:10Wow.
12:11Mm-hmm.
12:11But no.
12:12No, that's completely different
12:14because you're his partner.
12:15Yeah, and you're his best and oldest mate.
12:17But this is too much.
12:19I just...
12:19I can't help but feel like this.
12:22Yeah, we've got some good stuff.
12:27Well, I mean, there were a few teething problems,
12:30but, uh, nothing we can't fix.
12:33Let's catch up tomorrow.
12:35Yeah, well, I can't wait for you to hear the tracks yourself.
12:38All right, see you, mate.
12:40Justin?
12:40Yep.
12:41How come you didn't tell him what's going on?
12:43Oh, he's got enough on his plate worrying about Theo.
12:45And Kirby just needs good sleep.
12:49It's not quite as simple as that.
12:52What does that mean?
12:53There is an issue that the two of you need to discuss.
12:57Okay.
12:58No, I don't want to get involved.
12:59No.
13:00Whose side are you on?
13:01Can we not do sides?
13:04All right, I'll talk to her.
13:06I need to tell her about this meeting with Justin.
13:08Where is she?
13:09She is at my place.
13:11Cool.
13:12And, hey, you need to talk to Kirby, not at her.
13:26Oh, you're here.
13:28I do run the place.
13:30Yeah, well, just the board shop.
13:31Don't get any grand ideas.
13:33Haven't seen you around much lately.
13:35Yeah.
13:36I cut back on the surf lessons,
13:37so I'm not in here as much.
13:40Yeah, it makes sense.
13:41Anyway, yeah, better get this scan for Rue.
13:44I'll see you around.
13:45Yeah, for sure, Mr. Stewart.
13:51Thought you would have been gone by now.
13:53I'm really sorry.
13:55Do you know what for?
13:56Yeah, for not talking to you first
13:57before making my decision.
13:59Is your decision still the same?
14:04But I'm not breaking up with you, Molly.
14:06I mean, we can be long distance, right?
14:08For sure.
14:10If you genuinely think that you need to do this,
14:13you've got my support.
14:16But deep down, I don't think you want to.
14:18Do you want to go first, or should I?
14:33You're the one who wants to meet up.
14:36Gabby, what's going on here?
14:40Am I being a control freak, or is there something else?
14:43Bree didn't tell you.
14:44No, she said it wasn't her place.
14:46But I'm open to you joining the dots for me, though.
14:53Romy.
14:57It's your bank account.
14:58I can feel it at all times.
15:02You don't like that I'm paying for your album?
15:03No, no.
15:04I really appreciate it.
15:06I just feel uncomfortable.
15:08You don't know what it's like to be watching the clock
15:10and seeing that every minute that goes by
15:12is X amount of dollars.
15:13But I've got the cash.
15:14It's not a problem.
15:15No, but it is a problem for me.
15:16I wasn't raised to accept handouts.
15:19Everything that I've earned, I've worked really hard for.
15:21Don't worry about it.
15:22No, no, no.
15:23Don't just tell me not to worry about it.
15:25You're being serious, Ron?
15:26Romy, not everything can be fixed with your credit card.
15:30Nah, nah, get out.
15:32Get out.
15:33All right.
15:40Levi's right.
15:41If Mom had asked me a few days ago to come stay with her,
15:43I would have said absolutely no way.
15:46But now you're thinking it might be good for you?
15:48I don't know.
15:49I just feel like I can't trust my own judgment.
15:52The last few days with Mom have really made me feel like
15:55I can't do anything on my own.
15:57So I've been the youngest, eh?
15:59My whole family sees you as a baby.
16:02Can I ask you a question?
16:05Do you really want to go back to uni?
16:09No.
16:10Mom just really got under my skin.
16:12Mom will do that.
16:15Even if they want what's best for you.
16:17What if she's right?
16:19You know, what if living with her is what's best for me?
16:22I reckon you know what you need.
16:24And it's not something that makes you feel like this.
16:28I've watched you since you first arrived here.
16:31And now I'm seeing how well you're doing.
16:35This place is good for you.
16:39And you're good for me.
16:47Good book?
16:49Eh?
16:50Yeah.
16:50It's great.
16:51What's it about?
16:55Oh, it's too hard to explain.
16:58Oh.
17:04Mackenzie.
17:04No, don't say it.
17:06Why don't you consider the testing?
17:09It could put your mind at ease.
17:11Only if it's good news.
17:13Look.
17:16It's clear the pamphlets are on your mind.
17:18And they're going to stay on your mind
17:20until we get some answers.
17:22I made such a big deal about us having a baby.
17:30And now you really want it to
17:31and I might not be able to make that happen.
17:38Don't you want your own biological children
17:40with a woman that can give that to you?
17:46Yeah.
17:47I do want my own kids.
17:49But I want them with you.
17:56Look, there's going to be
17:57a lot of what-ifs.
18:00And it might not be easy.
18:04But let's take this one step at a time.
18:07Okay?
18:11Okay.
18:16I will do the testing.
18:19I just really thought that you guys
18:26could have worked this out.
18:28It's like everyone is hung up
18:29on this money but me.
18:31Mm-hmm.
18:34That's interesting.
18:35Kirby, can I stay at your place?
18:38What, so she's avoiding me now, is she?
18:41Okay.
18:42Do you remember when the trust fund
18:44first landed in your lap
18:45and you felt guilty because
18:47you hadn't earned it?
18:49That's how Kirby's feeling.
18:51Yeah, I guess so.
18:52Yeah, and
18:53when you offered to pay off my uni debt,
18:55what happened?
18:56Oh, you accepted
18:57and then we celebrated.
18:59Before the champagne?
19:01Yeah, it's okay.
19:02You hesitated
19:03and I had to talk you into taking it.
19:04Mm-hmm.
19:05Because I'm proud.
19:06And I like to stand on my own two feet.
19:10Plus, there was a part of me
19:13that felt like I might bow you
19:14somewhere down the track.
19:16You serious?
19:17Mm-hmm.
19:18You know I don't want it back.
19:19Yeah, but it's just,
19:20it's human nature.
19:21When money gets involved,
19:22things get complicated.
19:24Surely you can see how the lines
19:25are getting a bit blurred.
19:26Yes, you're right.
19:29Okay.
19:30I need to fix this.
19:31We've got to get this album made.
19:32Hey, just remember your friends too.
19:35That is the most important part,
19:36isn't it?
19:46Hi.
19:48Hey.
19:49What are you doing here?
19:51I thought you were going to stay with Remy.
19:52Mm-hmm.
19:53I don't need you anymore.
19:54Did you get my text?
19:56Yeah.
19:56I did.
19:58What are you doing, Curbs?
20:01You can't stay here.
20:02I can crash on the couch.
20:04No, you can't.
20:07Which leaves me...
20:09To go home and face the music.
20:11Literally.
20:14Hey, come on.
20:17You have a hit album to go and finish,
20:19don't you?
20:19I can't deny it.
20:20I can't deny it.
20:25I can't deny it.
20:28It's fighting to pull me back in.
20:31Now my heartbeat's keeping time.
20:35I can't leave my fears behind.
20:36I can't leave my fears behind.
20:38There's a thrill I need to ride.
20:40So just drive.
20:48Maybe you were right about adding the extra vocals.
20:50I'm glad you think so.
20:53I'm sorry for ruining the day with any diva behaviour.
21:02I'm sorry that you feel that way.
21:05Oh my goodness, you annoy me endlessly.
21:08I try my best.
21:12I really just don't want this to come between us as mates.
21:16Neither do I.
21:16I'm stepping back.
21:22What do you mean?
21:24Gobi, this isn't working out the way I thought it would.
21:26I mean, it's not working for you.
21:28The album?
21:29Yeah.
21:30There's too many conflicts of interest.
21:34I'm sorry, but you're going to have to find a new producer.
21:36Look, I know that my time here was meant to be temporary,
21:47but I would really like it to be permanent.
21:50Well, I hope you said no.
21:51Why would I have the room?
21:53No, that's not the point.
21:54You shouldn't have gotten involved.
21:55No, you're not his family.
21:56This is something you need to discuss with Theo, not me.
21:59Justin's given up on Theo completely,
22:01and now he's having a go at me because I'm refusing to do the same.
22:04What are you doing?
22:05I'm dropping Theo.
22:06Are you serious?
22:07I'm absolutely serious,
22:08and I'm not going to have this conversation with you again.
22:10He's made his choice.
