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
01:02I only went into it as a fun way of making cash
01:08And then it became unfun
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
01:22I'm just shocked about Lydia
01:23And you are not going anywhere
01:24You don't agree?
01:26I'm not thrilled you lied to me
01:28But mostly I'm worried
01:30What Lydia's done is inexcusable
01:32And you, Cara?
01:34Yeah, sorry I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around what you say Lydia's done
01:38What she has done?
01:39What she has done?
01:40Yeah
01:41Are you sure?
01:42It wasn't a bad joke or mixed signals or something?
01:44This is a serious crime
01:45I know
01:46And we believe you
01:47Yeah, yeah, of course
01:49What's up guys?
01:50I'd like to tell them the truth
01:51Is something wrong?
01:52No
01:53No
01:54I'm not sure
01:55I'm just wrapping my head around what you say Lydia's done
01:56What she has done?
01:57Yeah
01:58Are you sure?
01:59It wasn't a bad joke or mixed signals or something?
02:01This is a serious crime
02:02I know
02:03And we believe you
02:04Yeah
02:05Yeah, of course
02:10What's up guys?
02:13I'd like to tell them the truth
02:15Is something wrong?
02:19Oh
02:20I found that in a school second-hand shop
02:22It fits perfectly
02:24Could you find one for Max?
02:26Oh
02:27They still love dressing up together
02:30Hey
02:31Oh
02:32Hello
02:33Hey
02:34Byron
02:35This is my mum, Yvette
02:36And my sister, Saskia
02:39Are you sure you don't mind me staying?
02:41Oh, absolutely not
02:42Which is a good thing
02:43You're already rocking the uniform, huh?
02:44I can't thank you and Tay enough
02:47Are you sure you don't want to take a few more days before you start classes?
02:50No, I don't want to miss any more school than I have to
02:52She'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...
03:02No one's for a high royalty around here
03:05Okay
03:06Now your father went to the school a couple of years ahead of me
03:11So did Grandpa Max
03:13I thought Max the first was a Queenslander
03:15Oh 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
03:25Yeah
03:26So, big first day
03:28We've got to do something to celebrate
03:30What about a barbecue party tomorrow?
03:32Yeah, like 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 loyal 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
04:00Party!
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
04:17I guess the first day is kind of like an interview with the students
04:21Okay, I'll do it
04:25Hey
04:28I'm so proud of you
04:31Oh, thanks for saying that
04:34It means a lot
04:35It means a lot
04:43Wait, so this is how you paid for my sneakers?
04:45Yeah
04:47Any other questions?
04:50Are you okay?
04:51Yeah, I will be
04:52Is that it?
04:53Is that it?
04:55Well, how much did you charge?
04:57Or, like, do you need a special licence or something?
05:00Yeah, and then like how many clients did you have and what exactly do you do with them?
05:04I thought Lydia was great and she does something like this
05:07What kind of cop does that make me?
05:10You 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
05:24Look 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?
05:38Okay, that's enough for now
05:39We can talk about it later
05:41Go on
05:43Good night
05:51Hey, I'm sorry if I didn't seem supportive earlier
05:55It was just a shock
05:57What are you gonna do now?
05:59Uh, well, do you have any record of your interactions?
06:03Nah, we met up in private
06:05She paid me in cash
06:07I mean, she left messages
06:12Oh, that's, that's not her number
06:15She said she must have used a boat
06:18I'm gonna have to talk to Lydia
06:20I can come with you, if you want
06:23That would probably antagonise her
06:25Well, do you want me to come with you?
06:26It might be good to have a witness
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
06:52Thanks for making an effort
06:54I know you've got a whole lot of other stuff going on
06:56Good 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
07:10Well, 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 you need the download to anyone
07:21Thanks
07:23Really, I'm fine
07:25Yeah, I would love to come to the barbecue
07:28Can I bring him plus one?
07:29Yeah, I met Colton recently and between us, I think he's perfect for you
07:33I was actually bringing Rhett
07:35That's what I said
07:36I 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
07:46Hey
07:48Alrighty, you got everything?
07:50You have your iPad, spare key, contact list in case things go wrong
07:55Oh, your lunch
07:56Wait, hang on, what do you think will go wrong?
07:57Nothing, I'm just being prepared
07:59Hey, everybody around here looks out for each other
08:02If you need help, it's not going to be hard to find it
08:04That's what Shane's always said about this place
08:06It's going to be good for you, darling
08:08Don't stress her out today, mum
08:09We'll take great care of you
08:11She'll be busy
08:13No, just ask her what 19th century novel you want to read
08:15And I promise you, she will not leave you aside
08:24Why does Tay want to see us?
08:27Hey
08:31Oh, hi
08:32Tay's asked me to go over to the share house about something
08:36Oh, and how are you about that?
08:39Just 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, okay
08:53A package
08:54And it is addressed to
08:57Oh, not me, it's for you
08:59Mmm
09:01Could you forward yourself a new set of drumsticks or something?
09:05No, I don't know what this is
09:07No, it could be
09:09Bowling ball
09:11Or bombs
09:12Or a bowling ball bomb
09:14Alright, kiddo, come on, see you later
09:16Okay, bye
09:24I asked Tay if this could be some kind of mistake and he said no
09:37He's a liar
09:39Which part?
09:40All 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
09:55Oh
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
10:11I thought we had a good relationship
10:14So did I
10:16This isn't easy for me
10:19Check 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?
10:35Maybe 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
10:43Maybe he's doing something illegal and he wants a cover story
10:46Like what?
10:47He works at a bar, doesn't he?
10:49He'd make a pretty good point man to sell drugs
10:52I know my brother and you are reaching
10:55So you knew he was a sex worker this whole time?
11:01And you trust him?
11:03A skilled liar
11:05Over me?
11:07Making a false statement to the police
11:09Can 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
11:27Just remember, I didn't stop this
11:30Well that's it
11:31My name's Sonny Manhattan and I'm a sex worker and now retired
11:40See I knew something was up
11:42Yeah when you told me about her I never would have thought she was a cop
11:44You knew?
11:46I figured it out and he asked me to keep it private
11:48So she blackmailed you to keep seeing her?
11:52This explains why you were quizzing me about her the other day
11:55I 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, whatever happens, I'm here for you
12:04Same
12:05Yeah me too
12:06Same
12:08Aww
12:10Thanks
12:14Wuthering Heights, Moby Dick, Madame Bouvere
12:19If you're looking for a 19th century Australian novel
12:23Well then the term of his natural life reads very well
12:26That should get me through a month
12:27It might take you a little longer than that
12:31Oh I go too
12:35Saskia
12:37This is our newest teacher
12:39Mrs. Rodwell
12:40Hi
12:41JJ
12:42And Dex
12:44Oh, sorry
12:46I'm sorry to it
12:49Max Donison coming
12:52Yeah, our orders, and they were orders
12:54We have to look after you or else
12:55So my girlfriend, Nell, she's on a course today
12:58But you'll see her at the barbecue later
13:01So, how are you feeling?
13:03Oh, she's just not fasting now
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?
13:14I can't wait
13:16Do 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
13:39And 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
13:51They gave me this back
13:53You've still got time to withdraw this complaint
13:57I will accept an apology
13:59I'm telling the truth
14:02Then I'll see you in court
14:05Why would she come over to tell us that?
14:15Is this really going to go to court?
14:17It's just mind games
14:19It's a tactic she taught me
14:21Show no fear, get on the front foot
14:23I'm going to take a walk
14:29At least she's been suspended
14:31She's been reassigned, not suspended
14:33Means they're not taking it seriously
14:35And Jasper Crawford is an old friend of Lydia's
14:38He's going to make my life hell
14:39Hey!
14:41Hey!
14:43The gate was opened
14:45You didn't reply to my text
14:47Have you contacted Stephen?
14:49He actually contacted me
14:51What happened?
14:53He sent me a box full of family artefacts
14:55He wanted me to have it
14:57It's just a blanket that I 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 sound ungrateful but
15:38Why?
15:41Well, I'm usually the one getting into trouble
15:45So it's nice to be the one helping out for a change
15:48Plus I also know from experience that it can be helpful
15:51To have an outsider to talk to about hard stuff
15:56Yeah, it's true
16:00Plus I've done so much therapy I'm pretty across what to say
16:03So I could be like your free therapist
16:07And as your free unqualified therapist
16:11Everything that you tell me is confidential
16:13Thanks Doc
16:17Well, take a seat
16:23Good work today
16:26So how was day one?
16:27Well, 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?
16:45Uh, normal, damn it
16:50Oh, looks like Dex could use one of these
16:54Yeah
16:56Oh really, I've heard good things from other students as well
17:01Now I can already tell I have made the right decision
17:04Oh, Moira
17:06Jane
17:07Bye
17:08Bye
17:09Your mum gave me an amazing reading list of all the 19th century novels
17:13Ah, t'was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me
17:17So, Moby Dick
17:19If you need help with anything else just come straight to me
17:25I better go put my bag down
17:27Hi
17:31So, 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 wanna drag you into it, bro
17:43She's a cock
17:44Like, this 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
17:55They were just
17:58Living their lives and I was living mine
18:01But I had no idea
18:08Mr Louie looks just like me
18:25Uh, I have to go
18:28Is everything okay?
18:29Yeah, I forgot that I have to help set up with the barbie
18:31Um, better bounce
18:34But great chat
18:40See ya
18:41Holly 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
18:59Sweet, cheers
19:00People aren't gonna be drinking too much
19:02They know, my sensible sister
19:04Don't stress
19:05We'll behave ourselves
19:07Yeah
19:10I just don't want a big loud party
19:13Well, I thought you made loads of friends today
19:14JJ 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, Maxine
19:23I love you too
19:25Hi, sorry, sorry, sorry, I've got bad news
19:28I'm just gonna get changed
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
19:56Yeah
20:06Lydia
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
20:18Look, 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
20:32I think your work life's caught up to your private life
20:35It 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
20:41I can't lose my job
20:42I get that, but going after Cara, it's not the answer
20:46So please, just do the right thing here and let her be
20:50You've been gone a long time
21:01That's a good sign
21:05Lydia didn't admit to anything, but I don't think there'll be any reprisals at the academy for now
21:09Well, that's better than nothing
21:11Yeah, we'll see
21:13Hey, I'm sorry for getting you involved in all this
21:15I appreciate you trying to protect me, it means a lot
21:17Well, you're family
21:18Next time you're in trouble, come to us
21:19Agreed
21:21Thanks again for helping me, bro
21:23Is there anything I can do for you?
21:24Uh, you can grab us a beer and call it Ed
21:26Easy, gotcha
21:28Go on
21:30Go on
21:31Go on
21:33Go on
21:35Go on
21:37Go on
21:39Go on
21:41Go on
21:43Go on
21:45Go on
21:46Go on
21:49Hey
21:51You, um, enjoying your party?
21:52Uh, quiet so far
21:54Well, I've got to get changed
21:56Oh, uh, you know how you said you would help me of anything?
22:00Yeah
22:02I've got a bit of a mini crisis
22:04Could you adjust my strap? I think it's a bit loose
22:10Uh, yeah
22:13Do you like the outfit?
22:14Yeah, it's a nice, nice colour
22:16Know where it would look better?
22:18Uh, where?
22:20On your bedroom floor
22:22Oh, uh, Saskia
22:24What are you doing?
22:29Coming up on Neighbours
22:31Didn't realise you'd both be here together
22:34You like it, huh?
22:35Yeah
22:37Are you okay?
22:39I've noticed you two a bit awkward
22:41Ella, we broke up recently
22:43How are you?
22:44I'm not feeling very social at the moment
22:45I don't know
22:47She don't like it
22:49Yeah
22:51You're insane
