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.
06:27I'm going to do everything in my life.
06:28Okay?
06:31Plus, we've got another card up our sleeve too, don't forget.
06:34your mum's our guardian angel
06:37and she's always looking over you.
06:52I'm coming in.
06:53Or should I put my hands up, officer?
06:55Hey, not quite there yet.
06:57Hey, thought I'd come around and congratulate you in person
07:00and give you this.
07:02Oh, another gift. You're spoiling me.
07:06Oh, what is it?
07:08A hankie.
07:10That is my old police uniform.
07:12Since when do police uniforms get made out of so much spandex
07:16and have rough trade printed on the back?
07:18Yeah, OK. Well, it might not be standard issue,
07:20but it's the thought that counts, right?
07:22Oh, yeah, thanks for thinking of me.
07:24Hey, listen, I've also been thinking of a way
07:26that 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.
07:33Yeah, let's do it.
07:34Yeah, no more refined sugar.
07:36What? 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.
07:56Don't be silly.
07:57You're upset.
07:58Being upset is one thing,
07:59but looking a mess is another I threw in my makeup.
08:03No, no, no.
08:04You look lovely as always.
08:06Look, I've got an idea.
08:08Something that's going to make me feel a lot better.
08:10I'll even drive you there.
08:11Hmm?
08:12Come on.
08:13Let's go.
08:15This way.
08:20Being kind and humouring a man is one thing,
08:23but chauffeuring her around.
08:24Surely Darcy's overstepping.
08:26He's tearing up a sad president.
08:29Stop looking for things that aren't there, Carl.
08:38That was nice work, Cadet.
08:39You're really getting your pace up.
08:42I never thought I'd thank someone
08:43for almost making me vomit.
08:45You're welcome.
08:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
08:52Come on.
08:53No sugar, remember?
09:01I'm going to take a shower.
09:07Remy.
09:09Look, I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here,
09:13but you know what can be really hard
09:16starting a new training program
09:17if you don't feel like your people are supporting you?
09:20I do support her training program.
09:22Do you?
09:23Because you just gave her a look
09:24like she's a cheeky little kid.
09:27Look, maybe just give her a break.
09:30Yeah?
09:34So, has anyone been talking about me at school?
09:37Oh, well, I haven't heard anything.
09:38Apart from Ryan,
09:39but nobody's listening to that loser anyway, so...
09:42Well, that hasn't changed at least.
09:43Yeah.
09:45Hey, um, we might take these outside.
09:47I'll see you later.
09:48Yeah, sure.
09:49See you, man.
09:52Did we just get dumped
09:53for a gang of cooler kids?
09:54It looks like it.
09:56Oh, my God.
09:57How bad.
10:02Oh.
10:04Listen, um,
10:05what you said to Nell before,
10:08it's what she needed to hear
10:10at just the right time.
10:10I should have been there for her.
10:15I'm...
10:15I'm so glad that you were.
10:17Thank you, Therese.
10:18No, please.
10:19I worry I didn't do enough.
10:20You know, with everything
10:21that's been going on with Paul and...
10:23Chelsea.
10:25And the baby.
10:27And I would completely understand
10:28if you were distracted.
10:30But Nell's told me
10:31just how much you had her back.
10:34Right, here we go.
10:36Oh, hey, Sadie.
10:37Hi.
10:38Now, now, my friend here...
10:40A girlfriend?
10:40My friend here, um,
10:42needs a bit of a pick-me-up
10:43and apparently manicures
10:45are her thing.
10:46We've come to the right place.
10:47Fantastic.
10:48All right, enjoy.
10:50I'll be back in a bit.
10:51See you later.
10:53Why don't we get you settled
10:54and turn this bad day around?
10:56I don't think it's possible
10:57to turn the day around
10:58unless, of course,
10:59you've got a cure
11:00for being unwanted
11:02and unloved.
11:04Come on.
11:07And if I'd had the chance,
11:08I would have welcomed her
11:10with open arms.
11:11Just one phone call
11:13is all it would have taken
11:15and we could have avoided
11:16all of this fuss.
11:17Fuss is Nana's M.O.
11:18Which is part of her charm.
11:20At the end of the day,
11:21she's made the effort
11:22to move all the way here.
11:23I really thought Jane
11:25and the grandkids
11:26would appreciate my gesture.
11:29You're Jane Harris' mum?
11:31You know her.
11:33We're neighbours.
11:33Byron's my boyfriend.
11:36Well, you've most probably heard
11:37what a horrible beast I am.
11:39It's not denying the fact
11:40that she only ever
11:41thinks about herself.
11:43She just thrives on drama.
11:45Maybe that's just her way
11:46of getting attention.
11:48Well, if it is,
11:49it's a very dysfunctional method.
11:51Have you met our family?
11:53We are not dysfunctional.
11:56Okay, well,
11:56why don't I go talk to Nana?
11:58Okay, she's got to know
11:59that we're happy to have her.
12:01Maybe I should just give up
12:02on the idea
12:03and go back to my lonesome life.
12:06Well, Byron's told me
12:07a lot about you.
12:08Like how fun you are,
12:09how you're absolutely hilarious,
12:12how much he adores you.
12:13But he never said
12:14that you were a quitter.
12:15And anyway,
12:17you can't leave here
12:18until you tell me
12:19about your glamorous life
12:20in Hong Kong.
12:21Well, it really wasn't
12:22that glamorous.
12:23I want to know everything.
12:31Hey, where's Rose?
12:33Ah, catching up on some work.
12:36I'm just gonna go
12:37have some more drinks.
12:42Hey, Dad.
12:42Are you sure
12:48I didn't do anything wrong?
12:51Absolutely.
12:54You were just
12:55defending yourself.
12:56And that's what all
12:58those karate lessons
12:58were for, right?
12:59Mm-hmm.
13:03Would you mind
13:03if I organise some sessions
13:04with Rhonda?
13:06I think we could use
13:07our help on this.
13:09Okay.
13:09And what about school?
13:15I don't know
13:16if I'm ready yet.
13:18The longer you leave it,
13:19the harder it is gonna be.
13:21And you really need
13:23some level of normalcy
13:24back in your life.
13:25Yeah, well,
13:26I wish it was that easy.
13:28I'm not gonna lie to you, babe.
13:31Nothing about this
13:31is gonna be easy.
13:32Sometimes you just
13:35need to take
13:35a leap of faith.
13:38But that's...
13:39It's your call.
13:45These are perfect.
13:47I'm glad I've still got it.
13:50I had an accident recently,
13:52so today's my first day
13:53back at work.
13:54Well,
13:55aren't I the lucky one?
13:56I've had many managers
13:58in my life,
13:59and this is up there
14:00with the best of them.
14:02And meeting you
14:03has certainly
14:04turned my day around.
14:08Oh, Nana.
14:10What a lovely surprise.
14:12Having a lovely day
14:14with your lovely girlfriend.
14:15Oh.
14:16I suppose your mum sent you?
14:18No.
14:19No.
14:20I just wanted to
14:21come see how you're doing.
14:22You've always been
14:23my favourite grandparent.
14:24You remember that mug
14:25I made for you?
14:27The...
14:27Come on, Lola.
14:28The wonky-looking one
14:29I sent it to you
14:30for Grandparents Day.
14:32No.
14:34No.
14:35No, I don't remember.
14:37I won't be offended
14:38if it wasn't a keeper,
14:39but we're sent with love.
14:44Hey, you should...
14:45You should come
14:45to dinner tonight.
14:48I'm not sure
14:49that that's such a good idea.
14:51Oh, I'll be there.
14:52And I'd love to hear
14:53more about your travels.
14:55Please.
14:56It'll be really fun.
14:58Well,
14:59I hope I don't regret it.
15:07I don't even know
15:08why I'm behaving like this.
15:10Oh, I just can't seem
15:11to get behind this cop thing
15:12at all.
15:13Dad never had good stories
15:18to tell about cops
15:18in the States.
15:19It could be that.
15:22I stopped living
15:23with Ken when I was little.
15:24I don't remember any of that.
15:28Okay, maybe.
15:29It's just the shift work thing.
15:31Well, if we're both doing it,
15:32then we'll just be ships
15:33in the night
15:34and I could just be worried
15:34I won't get to see her anymore.
15:37I doubt that would get you
15:38this worked up.
15:40Well, I can't just be
15:41general worry about the job.
15:43Yeah, especially since
15:44she could get her doing anything.
15:46I mean, look at her
15:46falling off the ladder.
15:50Yep.
15:52Nearly lost her that day.
15:54Yeah, lucky she's tough.
15:55No, she's lucky.
15:57And as a police officer,
16:00she'd be in the line
16:00of fire every day.
16:04And what if she does die
16:06next time?
16:07Next time.
16:13Kekara is the love
16:14of my life.
16:15I need her.
16:17I can't do this without her.
16:23I just feel like
16:24I'm going to lose her.
16:27So, the moral of the story is
16:34if you go into the Grand Canyon
16:36with Angie Rebecky,
16:37take noise-cancelling headphones.
16:39The echoes will be
16:40haunting you for decades.
16:41Oh, she sang show tunes
16:43into the abyss.
16:44I don't know if I'm ever
16:45going to recover.
16:46Hey, we should probably
16:47meet up with Mum now,
16:48but thank you very much.
16:49Thanks for the dinner.
16:50Yeah, more than welcome.
16:53I'll see what's cool tomorrow.
16:57Oh, are you sure?
16:59No.
17:01But I have to start somewhere
17:02and get back to normal.
17:04It'll be good.
17:06If anyone says anything,
17:07we'll back you.
17:08Yeah, yeah, what he said.
17:10That's awesome.
17:11Thanks.
17:11Thank you very much.
17:13See ya.
17:13Bye.
17:13I am so proud of you, kiddo.
17:19Oh, fuck.
17:31Oh.
17:33Oh, wow.
17:34It's smaller than I remembered.
17:37Hi.
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.
17:51Isla, Isla.
17:53This is your great-grandma.
17:56No.
17:56No, no, no.
17:57I'm too youthful to be a grandmother,
18:01let alone a great-grandmother.
18:03Well, maybe we can come up
18:07with another name
18:07to call Nana Amanda.
18:10I wonder what Zsa Zsa Gabor
18:12had her great-grandchildren call her.
18:15Oh, I used to love her.
18:17Hala, what do you think?
18:18Zsa Zsa.
18:19Zsa Zsa.
18:23Hey, come here, you.
18:26Hey, sorry I'm late.
18:29Oh, um, I guess Amanda
18:31didn'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
18:48the wonky mug?
18:49This is the one I made for Mum,
18:50but you don't remember the one
18:51that I made for you?
18:52No, maybe you made it
18:55for Nan Mangle and not for me.
18:57She was basically your grandmother.
19:01I'll get some wine.
19:02Mum, I can hear you grinding your teeth
19:08from across the room.
19:09Relax.
19:11Yeah.
19:13You know, you're pretty good
19:14at this brotherly advice thing,
19:15you know that?
19:16Somebody's got to steer you right.
19:18Seriously.
19:19I like it when we talk.
19:21Who knew you'd be so wise?
19:23Aw.
19:24Your face is wise.
19:25And we're back.
19:27Hey.
19:29Bye.
19:31Is your brother really shooting hoops
19:32in the dark?
19:33He's bleeding off steam.
19:34You didn't let him get dessert.
19:35You know what?
19:38I'm going to bed.
19:39What 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.
19:53Okay, I need you to go get your brother.
19:54I need you to help with something.
19:55It's for your mum.
19:56There 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
20:17at the crack of dawn.
20:19It's a thought that counts, right?
20:24Look, I know I've struggled to support you
20:26in this.
20:27I didn't mean to bring you down.
20:30I'm just scared.
20:33And I think I need a bit more time
20:34to get used to you being a cop.
20:36But in the meantime, I really do want to support you.
20:40The real reason why I didn't get up on time...
20:43Sleepyhead's over there.
20:45Hey!
20:48That's really sweet.
20:48Oh.
20:53Woo-hoo!
20:53Woo-hoo!
20:55Woo-hoo!
20:56Oh, 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?
21:12I 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?
21:29Yeah, well, the trifle's your favourite.
21:33Yes, and she knows it.
21:34Oh, OK.
21:36Um, well, I'd better run.
21:39Wish me luck with this hangover.
21:42Luck!
21:43Come here.
21:59Hi, Nils.
22:00Welcome back.
22:01Well, if there's anything that you need, you know where to find me, OK?
22:09Hey.
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 don't know, to pretend that I heard you said life lessons and a solid education.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Yeah.
22:27Yeah, they've probably already forgotten who you are.
22:33What's that smell?
22:47Coming up on Neighbours.
22:53You don't want it to look like you're forming an inappropriate relationship.
22:55What is it going to take to win your trust?
22:58Is 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.
