00:00Previously on Neighbors.
00:02Are you saying you want her to stay here long term?
00:04I still need to talk to Byron about that.
00:06He's happy for Saskia to move in.
00:08They seem like such a loving family.
00:10They're your family.
00:11What time are you at home?
00:13Before dark, yeah?
00:14Yeah. He got the job. Congratulations.
00:16Oh, I can't believe it.
00:18We keep our arrangement and your sister-in-law will be fine.
00:21You, uh, drop that.
00:22Don't you think it's a little bit weird that he's carrying that much money on him?
00:25How do you have Lydia's ID?
00:27He's been blackmailing me to sleep with her.
00:30Neighbors
00:34Everybody needs good neighbors
00:38With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbors
00:51Should be there for one another
00:56That's when good neighbors
00:58Meet friends
01:00And good friends
01:06I only went into it as a fun way of making cash
01:08And then it became I'm fun
01:10And I wanted to stop
01:12But Lydia made it clear that if I didn't keep sleeping with her
01:14She would have come after you
01:16Yeah, I'm not a criminal
01:18I'm just a sex worker
01:20I don't care about that
01:21I'm just shocked about Lydia
01:22And you are not going anywhere
01:24You don't agree?
01:26I'm not thrilled you lied to me
01:27But mostly I'm worried
01:28What Lydia's done is inexcusable
01:30And you, Cara?
01:32Yeah, sorry
01:34I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around what you say Lydia's done
01:36What she has done?
01:38Yeah
01:39Are you sure?
01:40It wasn't a bad joke or mixed signals or something?
01:41This is a serious crime
01:42I know
01:43And we believe you
01:44Yeah, yeah, of course
01:45Yeah, of course
01:46Yeah, of course
01:47I'm worried
01:48What Lydia's done
01:49What Lydia's done
01:50Is inexcusable
01:51And you, Cara
01:52Yeah, sorry
01:53I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around what you say Lydia's done
01:55What she has done?
01:56Yeah
01:57Are you sure?
01:58It wasn't a bad joke or mixed signals or something?
02:00This is a serious crime
02:02I know
02:03And we believe you
02:04Yeah
02:05Yeah, of course
02:06What's up guys?
02:10I'd like to tell them the truth
02:15Is something wrong?
02:18No
02:19Oh
02:20Found that in the school's second-hand shop
02:22It fits perfectly
02:23Could you find one for Max?
02:25Oh
02:26They still love dressing up together
02:28Oh
02:29Hey
02:30Oh
02:31Hello
02:32Hey
02:33Byron
02:34This is my mum Yvette
02:36And my sister Saskia
02:38Are you sure you don't mind me staying?
02:40Oh
02:41Absolutely not
02:42Which is a good thing
02:43You're already rocking a uniform, huh?
02:44I can't thank you and Tay enough
02:46Are you sure you don't want to take a few more days before you start classes?
02:49No, I don't want to miss any more school than I have to
02:51She'd say that even if you weren't here, I promise
02:54Hmm
02:55Are you sure they're related?
02:56I just want to make sure you get up on the right foot
02:58I think you're going to fit right in
03:00Your family is, well, parents for a high royalty around here
03:04Okay
03:05Now your father went to the school a couple of years ahead of me
03:10So did Grandpa Max
03:12I thought Max the first was a Queenslander
03:14Oh no, he grew up here with Jim Robinson
03:17But your cousin, Charlene and Gemma, they went to our school as well
03:22So come to think of it, Max is actually the weird one for not going there
03:26Yeah
03:27So, big first day, we've got to do something to celebrate
03:30What about a barbecue party tomorrow?
03:32Yeah
03:33Like, welcome another Ramsay to Ramsay Street party
03:36Yeah
03:37I'm not the party type
03:38Oh, come on
03:40No, it's kind of a rite of passage around here
03:42Yeah
03:43And you're pretty much Ramsay Street royalty
03:44You've got to keep all your royal subjects happy, right?
03:47Come on
03:48Sing it, sing it, Max
03:50Do you want to party?
03:52Do you feel like a party?
03:56I'll party
03:57Yay!
03:59Shocking on tongs
04:00Mwah!
04:01Party!
04:02Okay, so what do you think of this one?
04:04Oh, it's perfect
04:05Fantastic
04:06Yeah?
04:07Well, you've kind of said that about all of them
04:09Yeah, because they all are
04:11Why don't you wear what you did to the interview?
04:14Yeah, that would be good luck
04:16I guess the first day is kind of like an interview with the students
04:21Okay, I'll do it
04:23Hey
04:26Mmm
04:27I'm so proud of you
04:29I'm so proud of you
04:31Oh
04:32Thanks for saying that
04:34It means a lot
04:43Wait, so this is how you paid for my sneakers?
04:45Yeah
04:46Any other questions?
04:49Are you okay?
04:51Yeah, I will be
04:52Okay
04:53Is that it?
04:54Well, how much did you charge?
04:56Or
04:57Do you need a special licence or something?
04:59Yeah, and like how many clients did you have and what exactly do you do with them?
05:03I thought Lydia was great and she does something like this
05:07What kind of cop does that make me?
05:09You are not expected to be a mind reader
05:12I'm not expected to be conned either
05:14Okay, if this was a case with strangers, what would you do?
05:18Listen to the victim
05:21Investigate it thoroughly
05:23Look for corroborating evidence
05:26Just like Lydia taught me
05:28Well do that then
05:30Those boys are looking way too interested over there
05:35Well I don't know, did you judge GSD?
05:37Okay, that's enough for now
05:39We can talk about it later
05:40Go on
05:42Good night
05:47Alright
05:51Hey, I'm sorry if I didn't seem supportive earlier
05:54It was just a shock
05:56What are you gonna do now?
06:00Well, do you have any record of your interactions?
06:02Nah, we met up in private
06:04She paid me in cash
06:06I mean she left messages
06:12Oh that's, that's not her number
06:15She says she must have used a boat
06:18I'm gonna have to talk to Lydia
06:20I can come with you if you want
06:22That would probably antagonise her
06:24Well do you want me to come with you?
06:25It might be good to have a witness
06:27Sure
06:28Sure
06:31Well
06:33It's perfect
06:35Knock and dead
06:37I mean maybe something less violent
06:40Yay team Rodwell
06:42Yeah that's the one
06:44I'll see you soon
06:46Good luck
06:47Thank you
06:52Thanks for making an effort
06:54I know you've got a whole lot of other stuff going on
07:02You didn't tell me much about your trip to Sandy Point
07:05Um, I just wanted to focus on your mum
07:09Well, when do I get to meet this new side of the family?
07:14Yeah you will
07:16I just want to take it slow
07:18You know I'm here for you and
07:20You need the download to anyone
07:22Thanks
07:24Really, I'm fine
07:26Yeah I would love to come to the barbecue
07:28Can I bring him plus one?
07:30Yeah I met Colton recently and
07:32Between us I think he's perfect for you
07:34I was actually bringing Rhett
07:35That's what I said
07:37I will drop you at school after I take mum to the airport
07:40I've already booked the taxi
07:41No you don't have to
07:42No arguments
07:44Hey Aaron by the way this is Saskia the boys new housemate
07:47Hey
07:49Alrighty you got everything
07:51You have your iPad, spare key, contact list in case things go wrong
07:56Oh your lunch
07:57Wait hang on what do you think will go wrong?
07:59Nothing I'm just being prepared
08:01Hey everybody around here looks out for each other
08:03If you need help it's not going to be hard to find it
08:05That's what Shane's always said about this place
08:07It's going to be good for you darling
08:09And don't stress her out today mum
08:10We'll take great care of you
08:12She'll be busy
08:13No just ask her what 19th century novel you want to read
08:16And I promise you she'll not leave you aside
08:24Why does Tay want to see us?
08:26Hey
08:31Oh hi
08:33Tay's asked me to go over to the share house about something
08:36Oh and how are you about that?
08:39It's just a bit weird seeing Byron again
08:41I mean I can't keep avoiding him forever if I want to keep my friends
08:45Yeah well allow yourself to feel whatever you feel
08:48Yeah I'll try
08:50A package
08:54And it is addressed to
08:57Oh not me, it's for you
08:59Hmm
09:01Could you forward yourself a new set of drumsticks or something?
09:04No, I don't know what this is
09:07Maybe it could be
09:09Bowling ball
09:11Or bomb
09:12Or bowling ball bomb
09:13Alright kiddo, come on
09:14See you later
09:16Okay, bye
09:34I asked Tay if this could be some kind of mistake and he said no
09:38He's a liar
09:40Which part?
09:41All of it
09:42Paying him for sex
09:44The blackmail
09:46The first time I met Tay was when you invited me for lunch
09:50Well he says that you sent him these texts
09:53And not from me
09:57I found this
09:58In his car
10:01That must have fallen out of my handbag when I was visiting you
10:05The bigger question is why would he have that in his car?
10:09Maybe he took it
10:12I thought we had a good relationship
10:14So did I
10:16This isn't easy for me
10:18Check my most recent calls
10:21Can you find his number?
10:23Any texts from me to him?
10:29No
10:31Why would Tay make this up?
10:33How would I know?
10:34Maybe I arrested one of his mates and he wants revenge
10:38Maybe he does this for kicks
10:40You said he was spending a lot of money
10:42Maybe he's doing something illegal and he wants a cover story
10:46Like what?
10:48He works at a bar doesn't he?
10:50He'd make a pretty good point man to sell drugs
10:52I know my brother and you are reaching
10:54So you knew he was a sex worker this whole time?
11:01And you trust him?
11:03A skilled liar over me?
11:07Making a false statement to the police can get you a year in prison
11:11Is that a threat?
11:15I have to report this to the academy
11:20You're making a huge mistake
11:22Blackmail is a serious crime
11:25I can't ignore it
11:26I can't ignore it
11:28Just remember
11:30I didn't stop this
11:33Well that's it
11:35My name is Sonny Manhattan
11:37And I'm a sex worker
11:39And now retired
11:41See I knew something was up
11:42Yeah when you told me about her I never would have thought she was a cop
11:45You knew?
11:47I figured it out and he asked me to keep it private
11:49So she blackmailed you to keep seeing her
11:52This explains why you were quizzing me about her the other day
11:54I mean you should have told me I would have helped
11:57No I wanted to keep you out of it
11:59Well from here on out
12:01Whatever happens
12:02I'm here for you
12:04Same
12:05Yeah me too
12:06Same
12:08Aww
12:10Thanks
12:14Claring Heights
12:16Moby Dick
12:17Madame Bouvere
12:19If you're looking for a 19th century Australian novel
12:22Well then
12:23The term of his natural life reads very well
12:26That should get me through a month
12:28Ha
12:29Might take you a little longer than that
12:31Oh I go too
12:32What can we?
12:35Saskia
12:37This is our newest teacher
12:39Mrs. Rodwell
12:41Hi!
12:42JJ and Dex
12:44Oh sorry
12:46I'm sorry
12:47No
12:49Max honestly coming
12:51Yeah our orders
12:53And they were orders
12:54We have to look after you or else
12:56So my girlfriend Nell
12:57She's on a course today
12:58But we'll see her at the barbecue later
13:01So how are you feeling?
13:04Oh she's got the first day nerves
13:06Don't worry me too
13:08We can have each other's backs
13:10That'd be lovely
13:12So we're all going to your barbecue?
13:13Can't wait
13:15Do you have any dietary requirements?
13:22The Academy said they'd look into it
13:24Thank you
13:26How are you feeling?
13:28How are you?
13:30Yeah better
13:32That's the main thing
13:34I heard you were here
13:36I just got out of an interview with the Academy
13:38And I told them what really happened
13:41While the investigation is taking place
13:44I've been moved to a different position
13:46Jasper Crawford is going to be your instructor
13:49While my name is being cleared
13:52They gave me this back
13:54You've still got time to withdraw this complaint
13:57I will accept an apology
14:01I'm telling the truth
14:03Then I'll see you in court
14:04Why would she come over to tell us that?
14:06Is this really going to go to court?
14:08It's just mind games
14:09It's a tactic she taught me
14:11Show no fear
14:12Get on the front foot
14:14I'm going to take a walk
14:16At least she's been suspended
14:18She's been reassigned
14:20Not suspended
14:22Means they're not going to go to court
14:24I'm going to take a walk
14:26At least she's been suspended
14:28She's been reassigned
14:30Not suspended
14:31Means they're not taking it seriously
14:32And Jasper Crawford is an old friend of Lydia's
14:34He's going to make my life hell
14:36Hey!
14:38Hey!
14:40The gate was opened
14:41You didn't reply to my text
14:43Have you contacted Stephen?
14:45He actually contacted me
14:47What happened?
14:49He sent me a box full of family artefacts
15:05He wanted me to have it
15:07It's just a blanket that I was wrapped in when I was born
15:12I was wrapped in when I was born
15:18Who's that?
15:20Barbara
15:24You've probably got places you need to be
15:27I'd rather stay
15:33I don't want to say I'm grateful but
15:38Why?
15:40Well, um
15:42I'm usually the one getting into trouble
15:45So it's nice to be the one helping out for a change
15:47Plus I also know from experience that it can be helpful to have an outsider to talk to about hard stuff
15:53Yeah, it's true
15:58Plus I've done so much therapy I'm pretty across what to say so I could be like your free therapist
16:05And as your free unqualified therapist everything that you tell me is confidential
16:16Thanks doc
16:18Take a seat
16:23Good work today
16:25So how was day one?
16:28Well no one mutinied or write it
16:30So it's well above my performance goals I set today
16:33She's being modest, she nailed it
16:35One of the best teachers I've ever had
16:37Oh, thanks
16:39Your checks in the mail
16:41How do I look?
16:45Normal, damn it
16:48Oh, looks like Dex could use one of these
16:54Yeah
16:56Now really I've heard good things from other students as well
17:01Now I can already tell I have made the right decision
17:03Oh, no
17:05Jane
17:07Bye
17:09Your mum gave me an amazing reading list of all the 19th century novels
17:12Ah, t'was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me
17:16So I'm Moby Dick
17:18If you need help with anything else just come straight to me
17:21I better go put my bag down
17:27So Lydia's denying everything
17:33And uh, yeah there's no way they're gonna take my word over hers
17:37What would it help your credibility if I said that I was with her?
17:40No, I don't want to drag you into it bro, she's a cock
17:44This could get nasty real quick
17:46Hey, I'm offering
17:48Thank you
17:50Actually there is something else I could do
17:54All this time
17:57They were just
17:59Living their lives and I was living mine
18:02And I had no idea
18:08Mr Louie looks just like me
18:27Uh, I have to go
18:29Is everything okay?
18:30Yeah, I forgot that I have to help set up with the barbie
18:32I'm better bounce
18:34But great chat
18:40See ya
18:41See ya
18:48Holly said she'd be here
18:49I don't mind helping
18:51Hey!
18:52Hey!
18:53Thought I'd come and help set up
18:54Yeah, man, that'd be great
18:55Could you uh, get some of the beers from the fridge and put them in the esky?
18:58Mm-hmm
18:59That's where you can choose
19:00People aren't gonna be drinking too much
19:02They're no, my sensible sister
19:05Don't stress
19:06We'll behave ourselves
19:07Yeah
19:08I just don't want a big loud party
19:13Well, I thought you made loads of friends today
19:15JJ and Dex were nice to me because you asked
19:17Yeah, and that's just the beginning
19:19I'm gonna help you crack out of your shell
19:21Love you Maxine
19:22I love you too
19:25Hi, sorry, sorry, sorry, I've got bad news
19:27I'm just gonna make it change
19:29Yeah
19:31Um, don't tell me it's about the pinata
19:34You were bringing one
19:36Holly, this is really important
19:38That reminds me, I need like a whacking stick
19:40Aaron, do you have a whacking stick?
19:42That's not what I was talking about
19:43I've been called in to cover Lassiter's on tap
19:45Someone's sick
19:47Can you say no?
19:48I'm the manager
19:49Yeah, but now you won't get to hang out with us at all
19:51I know, but we've got plenty of time
19:53We can do a redo
19:54Yeah
20:07Lydia
20:09Let me guess
20:11You heard there was an opening in my love life
20:14I'm here as a friend of Ty's
20:16I understand he told you that?
20:20I know
20:24Look, Ty's been telling me what's happened
20:28And I know you
20:30I know you don't want things to be like this
20:32You think your work life's caught up to your private life
20:35And that might have scared you
20:37But this, this stuff, it's gotten well out of hands
20:40You really want to go down this road?
20:45I can't lose my job
20:46I get that
20:47But going after Cara, it's not the answer
20:50So please just
20:52Just do the right thing here and let her be
20:59You've been gone a long time
21:01Good to see
21:03That's a good sign
21:04That's a good sign
21:14Lydia didn't admit to anything but I don't think there'll be any reprisals at the academy for now
21:19Well that's better than nothing
21:21Yeah, we'll see
21:23Hey I'm sorry for getting you involved in all this
21:27I appreciate you trying to protect me, it means a lot
21:30Well, you're family
21:32Next time you're in trouble, come to us
21:35Agreed
21:38Thanks again for helping me, bro
21:40Is there anything I can do for you?
21:42Uh, you grab us a beer, a couple of days
21:44Easy, gotcha
21:46Alright
21:48Hey
21:50Your mum, enjoying your party?
21:52Uh, quiet so far
21:54Well, I'm gonna get changed
21:56Oh, uh, you know how you said you would help me of anything?
22:00Yeah
22:01I've got a bit of a mini crisis
22:03Could you adjust my strap? I think it's a bit loose
22:09Uh, yeah
22:13Do you like the outfit?
22:15Yeah, it's a nice, nice colour
22:16Know where it would look better?
22:18Uh, where?
22:19Where?
22:20On your bedroom floor
22:22Oh, uh, Saskia
22:24What are you doing?
22:29Coming up on Neighbours
