Should I bother asking what happened?
- Uh, I biffed him. - It was bound to happen.
You make it sound like it's OK. It's not.
- Then why did...? - I think he knows that.
Hey, hey... Hey, just let it go.
I'm saying there's obviously lots of tension.
- Whose fault's that? - I lost control.
- But let's not forget why. - Can you shut up?
KIRSTY: Your poor nose. Can I do something?
FLYNN: Kirsty, could you go outside?
- Please? - ( Mouths silently )
Don't worry, we'll fix you. We'll have you looking cute as ever.
It would be good if you could fix everything.
Maybe you're the one to be doing some fixing.
Oh, always the counsellor at heart, hey?
You know, I'm just trying to live my life with the girl I love.
You told me if I faced up to things and accepted responsibility,
things would work out.
- They will. Just give it time. - No. They won't.
Because Dani won't let them.
She just want me to keep paying and paying.
Maybe she's the one that's paying.
Well, she should get over it. It's past history.
Understand this, OK? What happened between you and Dani,
she may forgive you, say you move on.
She'll never get over it. You've just got to live with that. OK?
HAYLEY: Oh, I can't actually imagine Scott hitting someone.
- What did you say? - I don't remember.
I just wished it was me.
I wished I was hitting him until I couldn't see his face anymore.
Oh, Dani, don't. Please don't cry. I... I hate seeing you like this.
I feel like there's this thing in my stomach and, you know, it's just...
I don't know. It's eating away at me.
Dani, I'm scared for you. I don't want to see you in hospital.
That's not going to happen. I just...
I want him out of my life forever.
We had to get away.
It's not my fault no-one will us be together.
You make it sound like we haven't even tried.
Show me a way of wiping out what happened in the past
- and I promise I'll take it. - I can't, Dad, alright?
It's not my fault, so why am I the one who's suffering?
I love you and I love your sister, alright?
There's no point in blaming anyone.
We just have to deal with it.
She should've let us go. All we wanted was to get away.
But she had to keep him here. She doesn't want him, so why?
- Because she wants you. - Oh.
Dad, none of you seem to understand there isn't a me without Kane
and she know that.
I don't believe that, Kirsty. You're a person.
Alright, OK, but so is Kane, so it's not up to Dani to decide who he his.
( Sighs ) Dani's... she's not thinking straight.
I'm scared for her. And if you love her, Kirst...
Dad, you know that I do. Scott was so angry and all Kane tried to do was...
Look, I'm not defending Scott, but he love his sister.
And if you love her, then please be there for her,
because if you abandon her at the moment...
...well, I honestly don't think she could take it.
( Poignant Music )
Can you just leave me alone, please?
Leave you alone? I wish I'd never touched you.
- You got to her, didn't you? - What?
Kirsty? Said she's not gonna leave with me.
Says she has to hang around just in case you need her.
- You really are... - Don't you dare call me everything, OK?
I hate you. I... it makes me sick even... even looking at you,
to think of you being with my sister.
Yeah? Well, you better get used to it 'cause I'm gonna be in your life forever.
And you're gonna know for the rest of your life
that your sister loves me. When you have nieces and nephews,
I'm gonna be the father.
I'm gonna be in your life from this moment on
and there's not a thing you can do to stop me.
You got that?
( Dramatic Music )
KANE: I didn't mean for it to happen.
- I'm trying to stay out of her way. - No, I know you were. I know.
She just... she doesn't get it.
She never will.
She just went for me like she was crazy.
I was just trying to fight back, I guess.
Scott yesterday, Dani this morning. My dad's just waiting to pounce.
- Mmm. - I just wish we'd gotten
- away and started over. - Without your family.
Well, you're my family now, but I don't want to hurt her.
You know, when I came back,
I had this crazy idea that I could make this place home.
But now I know only one thing's for certain.
What? That we love each other?
More than that. You're my home now, Kirsty... now, always.
How can you defend him, Jess?
- I'm not. - Yes, you are.
If you had heard her.
If you had seen her face when she told me about the fight.
- You think she's making it up? - No, of course not.
I just... ( Sighs ) Forget it.
No, no, say it.
Kane has been a bad boy and no-one's denying that.
- Damn right. - But I have been a bad boy too.
Yeah, but that's different.
It's different because people like you, Alf and Sally gave me a fair go.
Kane is not you, Jesse, and he never will be.
I'm sang these people want to break the battern,
but they keep getting sucked in.
Some people get destroyed and it's not their fault.
OK, OK, fine, you're right. I'll do it... for Dani's sake.
Yeah, well, I'll do it, if you want me to.
It's fine. I'll do it. I'm not looking forward to it.
- Hey, I'm not late, am I? - No, no, it's fine.
Um... look, we need to have a bit of a chat.
Oh, why doesn't that surprise me?
- She got to you too, didn't she? - Don't make this Dani's fault.
Hayley, let me do it. This is not about getting to someone.
This is about what's best for all of us.
I'm very sorry, mate.
- I'm gonna have to let you go. - I get it.
All the old mates stick together and I get shafted.
Well, you've got no grounds for firing me. I do my work.
What grounds? You want to talk about grounds?
We'll talk about neglince, mate.
Seb was injured here, you were in charges.
- You're setting me up? - You just set yourself up, Kane.
Mate, don't do this, alright? You're the only hope I've got in this town.
That... crazy chick goes nuts and...
Excuse me. That crazy chick happens...
No matter what you think of her... Dani Sutherland is part of this town.
One of the things we like about this place is we all stick together.
- And what about me? - Two words - you're fired.
Hey. I haven't eaten. Do you want some breakfast or something?
- I'm not hungry. - ( Sighs ) Dani,
- would you please talk to me? - What's the point, Kirsty?
I don't want to talk anymore. You do what you want.
Kane said you two had another fight.
It's not another fight, OK? It's the same fight.
It's the same hurt. Did he tell you what he said?
It's just that when someone yells at him, Dani...
You actually believe that, don't you?
No matter how horrible he is, you just believe him.
Don't make it sound like he's such a monster.
Kirsty, he is a monster. He's everything vicious.
And the worst part is that he's using you and you can't see it.
That is not true, Dani. Why... well, why would he?
To get back at me, OK, for having him charged.
- He... he doesn't care about you. - ( Laughs ) You're sick.
You are crazy just like he says you are.
You want to know what's vicious, Dani? Take a look in the mirror.
( Poignant Music )
Does he have to take so long? It's awful seeing him look like that.
There's no reason he should make it easy on us.
I know I wouldn't.
- Hey. Hey, what's wrong? - Dani said you were using me
and you're going out with me to get back at her.
No, no, baby. She's... she's warped.
She's trying to destroy me, but we can't let her.
You're everything to me, Kirst. You're the only reason worth living.
Oh, Kane, she's just...
- Hey, hey, hey... - ( Cries )
She's stupid. Scott, she's absolutely stupid.
Stop it now.
She's got this fairytale romance rubbish thing going on.
She can't see that her prince is like a toad.
- Dani, stop it. - I wanna get him,
squish him and just kill him...
- Cut it out! - Do the world a favour.
- I said stop! - Don't, you're hurting me!
Look, you're hurting you.
Can't you see you're destroying yourself?
No, I'm not! Why can't people see?
Why can't you see, Dani? You need help.
Is that our opinion? When are you the expert, Scott?
No, that's everyone's opinion, and Flynn is an expert.
I know what you're doing. I know what you're all doing.
You're supposed to support me. You're supposed to love me!
How can I when you won't even let me?
- Get out. - No, don't do this, Dani.
You don't know what you're saying.
- Get out! - I'm not going.
Fine, Scott, 'cause then I'll go, 'cause you know what?
I don't even want to look at you.
OK, Dani.
If this is the way you want it.
( Sombre Music )
Scott?
- ( Sighs ) It's you. - "Welcome home, Dad."
You OK?
Why does it have to be like this, Dad?
What is wrong with men anyway?
I'm guessing that's a rhetorical question.
Please don't start unless you think I'm crazy as well.
Crazy? No, you're one of the smartest girls I know.
Stressed? I'd agree with that.
I should've known you'd take his side.
If you're talking about Scott, I thought we were on the same side.
Yeah, well, you thought wrong, Dad. He, um...
Come on, Dan, it's OK. Shh.
Everything's falling apart, Dad. I'm falling apart.
That's what Scott thinks anyway.
Well, sweetheart, he only wants to help you.
I mean, we all do. It's just that ratbag, Kane...
Dad, please don't say his name. OK? And now. And now I've lost Scott.
No, look, if this is about yesterday...
No, Dad. This... this morning...
Oh, look, it just keeps on getting worse.
( Sighs ) Sweetheart, you... you need to get out of the house.
Why don't I shout you a coffee before I go to work at the kiosk?
No, Dad, um...
...if you do see Scott...
Dan, he just wants to help you. We all do.
All? Are you all in this together, are you?
This is all my fault, isn't it?
Need company?
Dumb question. Mate, all couples have arguments.
- Is that what she said it was? - Come on, Rhys.
After yesterday and then this morning?
- She needs your support, Scott. - I love her, you know that.
I'm not the one you've got to convince.
Loving her doesn't mean I'm going to stand there
and watch her destroy herself.
She obsessed. She's eaten up with hate.
- I can't even talk to her. - Whoa, there.
This is my daughter you're talking about.
Well, you tell me I'm wrong.
I'm trying to reach her and make her see things clearly,
but that beautiful, warm, loving person, she's... she's disappearing.
- It's breaking my hearts. - Yeah, and I want to.
I don't know how much more I can take.
You think very carefully about what you're saying, Scott.
I mean, you're worried about Dani going over the edge.
You walk away now and that just might happen.
Either you are in this for the long haul, or not at all.
- I don't care. I want to see you. - Why not?
No, I don't want to stay here tonight. I want to be...
OK. I love you so much. Tomorrow, then?
OK. Me too. 'Bye.
Dani.
The ever-punctual Miss Sutherland.
Welcome to the McLuhan household.
Hope I'm not too early.
No, no. Viv's, er... Viv's running late, but, um, that's nothing new.
Come on in.
Or we could stay out here until Vivian gets back.
No.
So this is your place? Oh... sorry. Of course this is your place.
Ah, I know. Breaking the ice is the pits.
But honestly, the dust mites don't bite, and I'm glad to have the company.
So make yourself at home. Uh, what are you drinking?
Coffee? Tea? Er, juice?
Er, vodka, wine? All of the above?
First time I've smiled in a while. Um, I like your place very much.
Well, good, good. 'Cause I've got a feeling it likes you too.
Now, first some refreshments, and then we work, yeah?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, Vivian used to be a vegetarian,
until I told her vegetables have families as well.
- So she'll eat anything now. - You're very funny.
Hey, you know what the three secrets are to a good pasta sauce?
Garlic, garlic and then, garlic.
- Right. - In moderation, of course.
Hope your boyfriend doesn't beat me up when you kiss him.
That's not going to happen.
Oh, that's clearly out of bounds. I'm sorry.
No, it's not your fault. Life's been a bit complicated for a while.
- Sometimes I think I'm overreacting. - You, overreacting?
No, I wouldn't believe it.
Can I help you stir? I'm very good at that.
Yes, I can't argue with that. Please stir away.
Thank you.
So you don't think the media has a moral obligation, then?
Well, to tell the truth in an unbiased way. Yes.
Instead, we get these platitudes in place of honesty.
What about censorship, though?
If you don't have that, what do you have?
I think you have cold fettuccine and limp lettuce.
- So let's eat while we talk, huh? - Shouldn't we wait for your wife?
Well, Dani, she knew you were coming and she knew I was cooking,
so her loss is our gain.
Bon appetit.
- I'm not interrupting, am I? - You really don't want me to answer that.
- Kirsty... - Dad, I won't pretend nothing happened.
I'm sorry. It wasn't meant to wind up like that.
Did you plan to ruin my life?
Sorry, I seem to have a knack for upsetting Sutherland girls.
Yeah, well. Welcome to the club.
I thought I ought to come and try to talk to Dani.
Rhys, what you said, you know, I'm not walking away.
Well, that's good to hear, mate. But she's not actually here,
she's still studying with that professor bloke and his missus.
Still?
ROSS: So are you sure you're OK to drive in this rain?
DANI: Yeah, I'm fine.
If I get pulled up, I'm over the garlic limit.
I hope I wasn't as heavy-handed with the assignment.
No, I think I've got a handle on it.
I just think I need to clear my head a bit.
Do you realise you've got the most beautiful eyes?
Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry that Viv wasn't here but, um...
