Home And Away – Episode 8499
Transcript
00:00My name's David Langham. I'm your new sergeant.
00:11It's so good to see you.
00:13I can't say the same about you.
00:14What's going on?
00:15This is my daughter.
00:16Can't be here anymore. This isn't the right place for me. I thought it was.
00:20Theo cares about you.
00:21This isn't about Theo. This is about my dad.
00:23He was more interested in forgiving the driver than he was mourning the loss of his own wife.
00:28The driver that was responsible for your mother's death.
00:32Does Theo know any of this?
00:34Well, he knows mum died, but that's all.
00:36You're right. I shouldn't just leave town because of dad.
00:39What about Theo? Are you going to tell him that you were planning on leaving?
00:43You all right?
00:44Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:46I was hoping we could talk about where we go from here.
00:49We go nowhere.
00:50Come on.
00:51No, no, I mean it.
00:52I want nothing to do with you.
00:54One gift for every year, I couldn't be with you.
00:56Lots of love, Dad.
00:57We can't accept this. Abby, it's emotional blackmail.
01:00You said you wanted to bring the family back together?
01:03Well, if you really mean that, then you should invite Dad to your wedding.
01:06You know, it's about time Theo sorted things out with a pair of them.
01:11Yeah, seeing them both sitting together talking was a huge relief.
01:16G'day.
01:17G'day.
01:18What can I get you?
01:19Flat white, thanks.
01:20Um, a councilmate of mine told me there was a new copper at Yabby Creek.
01:24You wouldn't be him, would you?
01:26I mean, the uniform is a bit of a giveaway.
01:28With an informant network like that, you sound like someone I should get to know.
01:32You're not wrong there, darling.
01:34David Langham, nice to meet you.
01:36Alf Stewart.
01:37I look after the caravan park.
01:38And he's the president of the surf club.
01:41This is Irene and Leah, they own the diner.
01:44Nice to meet you.
01:45Hi.
01:46Thanks.
01:47You wouldn't happen to have a daughter named Lacey by any chance?
01:50I sure do.
01:52Do you know her?
01:53She's coming to the diner a few times.
01:56Nice place to work.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah, it is.
01:59And we all look after each other around the bay, so if you need anything, just sing out,
02:03eh?
02:04Good to know.
02:05Thanks.
02:06Bye.
02:07Hi.
02:08Can I do a trial shift just in case the spot opens up?
02:14Yeah.
02:15Yeah, it's cool.
02:16Thanks anyways.
02:19Hi.
02:20Hi.
02:21I've missed you.
02:22I've missed you.
02:23You too.
02:24Oh.
02:25You okay?
02:26Yeah, yeah.
02:27Just had a big workout.
02:29You want some water?
02:31Yeah, yes please.
02:32Who's that on the phone?
02:34I'm just trying to get some work.
02:36What, last night's shift didn't pan out?
02:39I mean, it was fine, but one shift isn't going to make me enough money to move out of
02:43backpackers.
02:44Well, we should be able to help you.
02:47Oh, actually, maybe I can.
02:51What are you talking about?
02:55What if I sold my car?
02:57Once I pay off the loan, then you have like 5k to get yourself sorted?
03:01You are very sweet, but that is your car.
03:04And I don't want to rely on anyone for money.
03:07Hey, hey, hey.
03:08I am not anyone.
03:09I know.
03:10But I want to be able to stand on my own two feet.
03:13Look, I just want to help.
03:15Ben depends on you for money.
03:17It's not good for me.
03:19Or for us.
03:21Okay.
03:22But the offer still remains.
03:27Alright.
03:28Yeah, I promise.
03:32I love them all.
03:33Alright, I'll see you soon.
03:36I love you too.
03:38You two are really chatty now.
03:41Yeah, we are.
03:42I can't be bought like everybody else in this family.
03:45Alright, if mum can tolerate being in a room with him, then why can't you?
03:48Dad didn't respect his own marriage.
03:50I'm not about to invite him to the start of mine.
03:52So you're going to invite everyone in the entire family except for dad?
03:56I'm not having this conversation.
03:58Now or ever.
03:59Eden, you might regret this.
04:00Okay.
04:01This is my wedding.
04:02My guest list.
04:07See you at work.
04:08Yep.
04:14Absolutely, Sarge.
04:15I'll check it out.
04:16I'm on the way.
04:17Hey, Cash.
04:18Hey, good news.
04:19I'm off to Japan next week.
04:20Oh, on your own?
04:21No, no, no.
04:22With Harper and Archie.
04:23I'm just on my way to Yabby Creek to grab some stuff and get organised.
04:25Yeah, okay.
04:26Okay, isn't it going to be confusing going on your honeymoon with your ex-fiancee?
04:30It's not a honeymoon.
04:32We've talked about it.
04:34Friends only.
04:35Yeah, but that's what you've talked about.
04:36And then there's the reality of actually going over there.
04:38Relax.
04:39We're both just keen to have a family holiday with our boy.
04:41It's a good thing.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Hey, Cash.
04:44I met your new Sargeant earlier.
04:45Seems like a decent sort of a bloke.
04:46Yeah, he seems like it.
04:48Sometimes you live a lie.
04:52But all you wanna do is scream.
04:57Just a minute.
05:18Oh, I hate you so much, Amanda.
05:19You melted down for s-
05:20Are you okay?
05:21Yeah.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Yeah.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Yeah.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah, I'm good.
05:34Looked like I heard you.
05:35Want me to take a look at it?
05:36Oh, thanks.
05:37It's fine.
05:38I've got a first aid kit in the car.
05:39I'm going to use it.
05:43I'm sorry.
05:44I don't know how many ways I can say it.
05:47Thank you, but I don't need your help.
05:49Oh, right.
05:50So, I'm guessing it'll be a mistake for me.
05:52No, it's not.
05:53There's nothing to do with that.
05:55No, it's fine.
05:56Yeah, I know.
05:57Yeah, it's okay.
06:00I mean, I'm sorry.
06:01Oh, I'm sorry.
06:02I'll take it for you.
06:03Yeah.
06:04So I'm guessing it'll be a mistake for me to ask to tie on with the car then.
06:09Big mistake.
06:12Am I amusing you?
06:14No, no, it's just...
06:15It's not every day you see someone yelling at their car, that's all.
06:18Well, someone gets yelled at a lot.
06:21Alright, well, let me take a look at it.
06:24Are you a mechanic?
06:25No, but I might be able to get going.
06:28I didn't ask you to do that.
06:30So what, are you just gonna keep yelling at it till the stars?
06:37Well...
06:39Deal with it yourself.
06:44That's what I was trying to do!
07:01Did you follow up about that graffiti?
07:03Yes, actually the servo owner recognised some of those kids on the CCTV,
07:06so I'm gonna make some phone calls and bring them in for questioning.
07:08Good.
07:10Met a few of the locals at Summer Bay earlier.
07:13Alf Stewart runs a surf club.
07:14Yeah, he runs a town more like it.
07:16Is that right?
07:17Nothing gets past him.
07:18Okay.
07:19Hey, hey, I texted you.
07:24I'm sorry to interrupt, but we need to talk.
07:26Abby is bugging me about inviting you down to the wedding.
07:28Sorry, Eden.
07:29This is the station's new sergeant.
07:32Oh, uh, David, right?
07:34Sergeant Langham.
07:36Eden Fowler.
07:37It's nice to meet you, Miss Fowler, and it's time to go.
07:44See ya.
07:49Bring those kids in for questioning, plan your wedding in your own time.
07:53Yes, Sergeant.
08:12You sure you don't need any help?
08:15I'm fine.
08:16My car is fine.
08:17Well, at least let me call a mechanic for you.
08:20Does this usually work for you?
08:21Does what usually work for me?
08:23Playing the champion to damsels in distress?
08:26I'm not playing anything.
08:28If I see someone's in trouble, I don't just drive past.
08:30Right, and you'd just as quickly do it for a bloke, yeah?
08:33Yep.
08:35Just needs a new fan belt, okay?
08:37I'll call a mechanic myself.
08:39Thanks anyway.
08:40Okay.
08:47You need me to call a mechanic or you?
08:48No.
08:49My phone's dead.
08:50Don't worry about it.
08:51Oh.
08:52You need me to call a mechanic or you?
08:53No.
08:54My phone's dead.
08:55Don't worry about it.
08:56Oh.
08:57You need me to call a mechanic or you?
08:58No.
08:59My phone's dead.
09:00Don't worry about it.
09:01Oh.
09:02Oh.
09:03You need me to call a mechanic or you?
09:06No.
09:07My phone's dead.
09:08Don't worry about it.
09:11Oh.
09:32Come in.
09:35Hey.
09:36Got you a cuppa.
09:37Why?
09:40I was sorry about before.
09:41Eden, she's stressing about inviting her estranged father to the wedding.
09:46I'm sure you can imagine how difficult that is for her.
09:49Have you interviewed those kids yet?
09:51We're having a hard time tracking down the parents and the guardians.
09:53Then I suggest you start focusing on that instead of making me cups of tea and going on about your girlfriend.
09:59Fiancé.
10:02I'm going to leave you to it.
10:03Close the door behind you.
10:04Yep.
10:05Yep, Sarge.
10:14What are you doing?
10:16Nothing.
10:22Okay, look.
10:23Before you freak out, I'm selling it for me, not you.
10:27Really?
10:28Yes.
10:29Because I love that car.
10:32Well, I loved.
10:33But now every time I look at it, I just think about what happened.
10:37I just want to sell it and move on.
10:39Okay.
10:40Well, as long as it's for you and not for me, I'm all for it.
10:42Mm-hmm.
10:44Hey.
10:45It is for you though, right?
10:47Mostly.
10:48Theo!
10:49Look, I know your family's not around and I'm in a position to help you.
10:54Once I sell it and I've got the money, we can work out whether you need it or not.
10:59If it makes you feel any better, we can call it a loan.
11:03How long did I get so lucky?
11:09Eh.
11:10Sorry.
11:11Sorry, sorry.
11:12It's okay, it's okay.
11:18Can I get two margaritas for table nine?
11:21Did you hear me?
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:23The silent treatment?
11:24Seriously?
11:25You are supposed to be the older, more mature one, right?
11:29Get over you.
11:30Excuse me?
11:31You were being a tool.
11:32Have you actually thought about what it means to cut dad out of your life?
11:34Only for a decade or so, yeah.
11:36Okay, great.
11:37So what are you going to do when Levi actually has a kid?
11:39Because you know that dad will want to be a part of that.
11:41Mackenzie is not even pregnant.
11:42You can't avoid him at every birth, death and marriage.
11:44I will be singing hallelujah at his funeral.
11:46You know he will actually die one day and then it'll be too late and you will regret it.
11:50I told you to leave it, Abby.
11:51Can you please talk some sense into her about inviting dad to the wedding?
11:54Because she will not listen to me.
11:58Sorry about turning up at your work earlier.
12:00No, no, that's okay.
12:01What's going on here?
12:06Mr. Stewart, right?
12:07Yeah, that's right.
12:08But call me Alf, eh?
12:09I'm sorry, mate.
12:10I've got to run.
12:11Right on.
12:13We'll go to the table.
12:14Yeah, I'm starving.
12:16I'm not surprised.
12:17He probably walked 10 k's.
12:18Joe, how many times have I told you?
12:21You've got to keep your phone charged.
12:23Yes, Dad.
12:24I get it, okay?
12:25What about the car?
12:26I'll fix it tomorrow.
12:28Hi.
12:29Nice to see you again.
12:30Me too.
12:31That coffee earlier hit the spot, so I thought we'd give the food a go too.
12:35Hi.
12:36I'm Leah.
12:37Sorry.
12:38My daughter, Joe.
12:39Nice to meet you.
12:40Oh, I didn't know that Lacey had a sister.
12:44Well, lovely to meet you.
12:45How do you know Lacey?
12:47Apparently she likes this place.
12:50I'll give you a moment to decide.
12:56Well, speaking of, seeing as we're close by Reefden Lakes Backpackers, should we stop by on our way home?
13:00You can flash your badge and intimidate the staff and be giving us the key to Lacey's room.
13:05You know that's not how it works.
13:07If we had got to Lacey that we were sniffing around, she'd lose it.
13:10You know that.
13:11Well, she can't ignore us forever.
13:13Given how it went last time I tried talking to your sister, going in full pelt probably isn't wise.
13:18Yes.
13:20She'd probably bite my head off the moment she saw me.
13:24She'll come round.
13:27Are they ready to order?
13:29Will Lacey be joining them?
13:30Uh, no.
13:31Lacey won't be joining them.
13:34What's the story then?
13:35He seems like a decent bloke.
13:38Yeah, he really is.
13:39He really is.
13:47Stir-fresh?
13:49Or maybe a pasta?
13:52Do you pasta?
13:53You are the best, you know that?
13:55I know.
13:56Feel free to keep reminding me though.
13:58Pasta it is then.
14:02Are you expecting someone?
14:03It's probably Sonny.
14:04He's probably forgotten his keys again.
14:07Yo!
14:08Oh, hey.
14:09Hey!
14:10What are you doing here?
14:11Ah, I'm just going to bring over some leftovers.
14:13Oh, great.
14:14It's probably far better than anything I come up with, so.
14:16Um, I was also hoping to have a moment alone with you.
14:21Why?
14:23Ah, I just need to chat through some of the things we were talking about the other day.
14:27Not about me, is it?
14:28No, no, no, nothing like that.
14:31Um, do you mind?
14:32No, of course not. Go for it.
14:33Okay.
14:39What's up?
14:41So we just had a visitor downstairs.
14:43My dad.
14:45He was with your sister.
14:47Joe?
14:48You didn't tell them where I was, did you?
14:50No, of course not.
14:51Okay, good.
14:52Because the only person I'm going to see at least than my dad is my sister.
14:59Babe, you don't understand.
15:01Mum was devastated for years.
15:03Now she's just forgiven him.
15:05Oh, Abby says so.
15:07But Mum might just be making nice so that they can both be there to support Abby.
15:11I don't know.
15:12Hey, look, look, we haven't even set a date for the wedding yet.
15:14So how about before you decide anything, just go out and find out for sure.
15:21Yeah.
15:22Yeah, I mean, I am overdue for a visit to Mum's place.
15:25Yeah.
15:26So, yeah.
15:28Yeah, I, um, want to get back to it?
15:29Yep.
15:30Thanks for this.
15:31Yeah.
15:33Oi.
15:34Hey.
15:35All good?
15:36Yeah, yeah, family, family stuff.
15:37How was you, Abby Creek?
15:38Yeah, good.
15:39Yeah.
15:40I'm just going to get my head around the frequently and other things Harper's freaking out about.
15:43Turns out traveling with the baby's not that easy.
15:45Yeah, I reckon you're going to enjoy every minute of it, eh?
15:47I'm happy for you.
15:48Yeah?
15:49Yeah, yeah, I know it's not the picture-perfect family you always imagined, but I don't think
15:53the perfect family exists.
15:54But, yeah, I'm happy too.
15:56Good.
15:57Cheers.
15:58Cheers.
15:59Oh, evening, Mr. Alfred.
16:03G'day, kid.
16:04You working late?
16:05Ah, just getting a bit of stuff ready for the next committee meeting.
16:08What's your excuse?
16:09Oh, Miley wanted me to check on something.
16:11Yeah, he told me he was cutting back on lessons, but I haven't seen him around for a week or so.
16:16Yeah, no, he's at home checking boards.
16:18He's got a huge backlog.
16:19Is he okay?
16:20He's...
16:23He's overworked and kind of obsessed and could use a break, but he is alright.
16:28Well, tell him I recommend a good supply of fresh air, preferably with a fish and rod in his hand.
16:33We do miss him around here.
16:35Yeah.
16:36I'll let him know.
16:37Good on you.
16:38Ah, did your fiancé talk some sense into you?
16:42Look, I heard what you said, okay?
16:44And I won't be making a decision about inviting Dad to the wedding until I know for sure how Mum feels about it.
16:50Really?
16:51Yes, if she is comfortable with me inviting Dad, then maybe, maybe, I will consider it.
16:59Okay, well then call her.
17:00Well, no, I thought I could pay her a visit just to make sure that she is really okay and you're not lying to me.
17:05Great, well, I will take that bet.
17:07Yeah, that means I'm driving.
17:08Huh.
17:11Yay.
17:16So I'll change the belt, follow you back to town, just to be sure?
17:21Thanks, Dad.
17:24Oh, are you kidding?
17:26Who's that?
17:27Just some guy from yesterday.
17:38What do you think you're doing?
17:42I replaced your fan belt.
17:44Well, technically it's a certain time belt, but whatever.
17:46I didn't give you permission to do that.
17:49Yeah, I know.
17:50But I was driving past, it's no problem.
17:52So you messed with my daughter's car despite her telling you not to?
17:56Daughter.
17:57Would you drive a car some random as fiddled with?
18:00Well, no.
18:02So what exactly are you doing here, mate?
18:05Oh, I think I've got a misunderstanding here, mate.
18:07No, I've been perfectly clear.
18:08You make a habit of overstepping, don't you?
18:12I've got my eye on you.
18:14Alright.
18:16Alright, my bad.
18:18Apologies.
18:19Might happen again.
18:20Do you know him?
18:39I met him.
18:43So did you stuff it up?
18:45No.
18:46Actually, he did a good job.
19:00Okay, remember?
19:01My car, my music.
19:03That's it, I am hitchhiking.
19:04Absolutely not.
19:05Mum would have a fit.
19:07G'day, ladies.
19:08Morning.
19:10Smiley not coming in today?
19:12I don't know.
19:13He was sleeping in.
19:14I think he was up late last night working.
19:15Oh, right.
19:16You off on a trip?
19:18Yes, yes.
19:19And I'm already regretting it.
19:20Sounds great.
19:22Come on, let's go.
19:25Hey, sorry.
19:26I've got to go.
19:27Someone texted about the car.
19:28You sure about selling?
19:29Yeah, 100%.
19:31Alright.
19:32Good luck.
19:33Remember not to take the first offer?
19:35Never.
