00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:16Neighbors should be there for one another. That's when good neighbors become good friends.
00:34Yes, at the Lasseter's Hotel Complex. Please hurry.
00:46Oh, my God!
00:54Des is in there!
00:59Des! Fucking Des!
01:07Harold? Harold?
01:09He's gone in after Des!
01:11Harold!
01:13Get out! Get out!
01:28Quick, call an ambulance!
01:30Get a blanket, quickly!
01:36It's alright, Jamie. It's alright.
01:43Hi, Nick. What are you doing?
01:51What does it look like?
01:52Oh, not your painting. I just meant, what are you doing down here?
01:55My picture of Paul for Helen's art class, but I don't want anybody to see it, yet not even you.
01:59Oh, come on, give us a look.
02:00No!
02:01What, Chet? This is a good card again.
02:03I said I don't want anybody to see it yet, and I mean it.
02:06Gee, you're in a lousy mood today, aren't you?
02:08Nobody sees it until it's finished, alright?
02:11Is that why you didn't wait for me?
02:12What?
02:13You were supposed to walk home with me from the coffee shop, remember?
02:17Oh, you were having such a good time with Vanessa and Pam, I didn't think you noticed I was gone.
02:21Oh, what?
02:22Look, I don't like them, alright? I never had. I don't know what you see in them.
02:26They're just in my English class, that's all. I don't see anything in them.
02:30You could have fooled me. All their big talk about smoking.
02:33If you think that's cool, you're as dumb as they are.
02:36I bet you've been smoking with them, haven't you?
02:39Oh, come on, I'm not stupid.
02:42We just don't get sucked in, alright? Girls who smoke are a big turn off.
02:46Oh, but it's alright for a guy though, is it?
02:48I didn't say that.
02:49Well, that's what it sounded like.
02:52Smoking's dumb no matter who does it.
02:54But it's only a turn off if it's a girl, right?
02:57No, you're just trying to twist the thing around.
03:00What the hell's that?
03:02What is it?
03:08Oh, your uncle thought it was a good idea.
03:11Jo.
03:12Yes, well, there have been a lot of burglarers lately.
03:15Nan, I think I'd rather have the burglar. Someone might have warned me.
03:18And I thought he had all the problems sorted out.
03:21I'll have to get him to look at it again.
03:24Yes, well, in the meantime, do you think we could leave it switched off?
03:27I'm absolutely exhausted.
03:28Well, it certainly doesn't sound as though you've had a very good time.
03:31That's just it.
03:32Everybody thinks modelling must be really glamorous and great fun, but it isn't.
03:35Yes, well, you know what I think about the whole thing.
03:38Well, I'm glad I went. The trip was nice, it was fun. Just a bit tired, that's all.
03:44Hmm. Well, hopefully it'll be the last for some time.
03:48Uh, no. The photographer wants Sylvie and myself for some more shots tomorrow.
03:54I think Paul's expecting you back at work tomorrow.
03:57Hmm, I know. I'll have to go over and ask him about it later.
04:01You know, Sylvie's a really nice girl. I think I might ask her over for dinner one night.
04:05Yes, well, as long as you give me ample warning.
04:10Nan, I wasn't going to ask her over tonight.
04:13I always keep a tidy house, Jean. You should know that by now.
04:18Yes, I know.
04:31I wouldn't get to the hospital in my car.
04:35I'll meet you in emergency.
05:01What's the situation, babe?
05:03I won't know anything until I've examined him. I'll let you know as soon as I have.
05:07I'll give Madgering, let her know what's happening.
05:08Yeah, yeah, good idea.
05:12Hey, Jamie. Don't worry. Daddy's going to be fine. Just fine.
05:16That's what I told him.
05:17Yeah, well, he will be.
05:18I've been in there for ages. I mean, how long can one examination take?
05:32Well, Beverly's obviously being very thorough.
05:35If she's been knocked out like that, there's all sorts of possible complications she'd have to check for.
05:40Oh, not that there's likely to be anything wrong, of course, but...
05:43Well, she doesn't have the check anyway.
05:45Do anything?
05:46No, it doesn't have anything now.
05:47I've been paying ages.
05:48Oh, don't worry. She knows what she's doing.
05:51Yeah, that's what I said.
05:52No, that's what I tried to say.
05:54But I made my usual muck-up of things.
05:56Oh, Harold.
05:57You weren't mucking up, Mr Bishop.
06:01I'm sorry. I'm a bit shaken, I think.
06:03Things are just starting to catch up with me. It's silly, really.
06:06Harold, any man that goes and drags another man out of a burning building is entitled to be shaken up a little.
06:13What?
06:14Are you good on you, Harold?
06:15Oh, yes.
06:16Well, Paul was there too, you know.
06:18Sure, I gave you a bit of a hand.
06:20You're not wriggling out of this one, Harold.
06:22That's got to be one of the bravest things I've seen in a long time.
06:28Come on, come on.
06:30Oh, bother.
06:32What's wrong?
06:33I was trying to reach Jo to come and fix the alarm, but nobody's answering.
06:37Oh, well, you'll just have to leave it switched off in the time being.
06:40Oh, yes.
06:41What happens in the meantime?
06:42Oh, Nan.
06:43You've done without one all your life.
06:45I know.
06:46It sounds silly, but that's the way it happens sometimes.
06:50You can go your entire life without needing something, and then when you haven't got it, you need it.
06:55You read about it all the time.
06:57I'll just turn my back for five minutes.
06:59I'll get it fixed tomorrow.
07:01It's called Tempting Providence.
07:03Well, would Providence mind if I got a couple of hours sleep first?
07:06I really am tired.
07:07Yes, well, you haven't got that on your own.
07:09Really, the night I had last night.
07:12Oh, that's right.
07:13You slept over at number 30.
07:14I was going to ask how that went.
07:16Yes, well, I think the least said the better.
07:18They do say that you don't get to know people properly until you spend a night under the same roof with them, don't they?
07:24The only good thing about it was that I managed to get Jo to come to church with me this morning.
07:29Are you kidding?
07:30Not at all.
07:31And it wouldn't hurt if some other people around here showed up a little more often either.
07:37Yes, Nan.
07:38The church has a lot of interesting things happening at the moment.
07:43There's a fete next week and then there's a bus trip.
07:47And the church is always having fates.
07:49Yes.
07:50Well, some of us think that raising money for people less fortunate than ourselves is a worthwhile thing to do.
07:57Yes, of course it is.
07:58I know I'll be doing my bit.
08:00I'm going to set up a store and read tea leaves.
08:05Yes, I know your opinion about that, but it's a God-given gift.
08:09And I think that we should all be prepared to use our talents at times like this.
08:16All right, Nan, what are you getting at?
08:19Well, I did think that you and this model friend of yours could organize a little fashion parade or something.
08:27Nan, Sylvie's a professional model.
08:29It wouldn't be fair to ask her to do something like that for nothing.
08:31Oh, it is for charity, Jane, and you did say she was a nice girl.
08:36It can't hurt to ask, can it?
08:38No, I suppose not.
08:40Fine.
08:41I'd say it'll be a while before we get a full report on the damage.
08:47The fire of the game is there pretty quick, though.
08:49Oh, yes, they were very prompt.
08:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:51I'll tell you what, the way that the place went up, I thought the office was going to go as well.
08:54Yeah, so much for my wonderful idea of opening on Sundays.
08:56Harold, don't keep blaming yourself.
08:58It was probably an electrical fault or something like that.
09:00Well, it just seems such a coincidence.
09:02We were there such a short while before.
09:04Harold, Madge is right.
09:06Stop blaming yourself until you know the full story.
09:08Is he all right?
09:09I'm going to be fine.
09:10Oh, thank the Lord.
09:12He's conscious now.
09:13He's suffering from mild concussion and first-degree burns to his hands and arms.
09:17Burns?
09:18I said first-degree, Mike.
09:19They're going to heal quickly without any scarring.
09:21He's been very lucky.
09:22You're not joking, the way the place went up.
09:24Oh, exactly.
09:25I'm going to keep him in under observation for the next day or so.
09:28What he needs most of all now is rest.
09:30He's asked to see Jamie, so Bronwyn, you can go in, and perhaps you too, Mike.
09:34But, sorry, that'll have to be it.
09:36Yeah, sure, no, we understand.
09:37Okay.
09:38Um, I've just got some reports to write up, okay?
09:41Okay, thanks, babe.
09:42Well, I suppose there's no point in me hanging around.
09:45There you go.
09:47I'll, um, go back and start checking the damage.
09:49No, I don't think I could face that just yet.
09:51I think I'll just wait here for a while.
09:53Maybe I can see Diz later.
09:54Yeah, sure.
10:04Diz.
10:05Hi, chap.
10:06G'day.
10:07Where's Jamie?
10:08Um, he started to cry, so I left him outside with the nurse.
10:23Dr. Marshall says you're going to be fine.
10:25Yeah, it'll be a while for him using these things again.
10:28I'll need you to give me a hand when I get home, mate.
10:32I don't mind playing nurse for a while.
10:35Yeah, but you've got an exam coming up.
10:38I can handle it.
10:39Yeah, I can.
10:40Hang on.
10:41I'll move into your mother's room till you're better.
10:44I'm at your place most of the time anyway looking after Jamie.
10:47I'll be able to spend more time with him and help you out for the housework as well.
10:50I'm not asking you to do that, Bron.
10:52I know you're not.
10:54I'm offering.
10:55Sounds like a reasonable solution to me.
10:58Yeah, it's not that I'm not grateful, but...
11:02Isn't that going to be a bit, um, uncomfortable for you too?
11:06Why?
11:07Okay, so we're not going out together anymore, but we're still friends.
11:12Aren't we?
11:13Yeah, of course we are.
11:15There you go.
11:16Yeah, well, that's one problem solved anyway.
11:20I suppose you had any chance of dropping in and seeing how the coffee shop was?
11:25Yeah.
11:26The fire brigade managed to stop it spreading to Paul's office, but, uh...
11:30Not most left, eh?
11:31That's about the size of it.
11:33Have you got insurance?
11:35Um, we can rebuild it all right.
11:39It won't be the same.
11:41It won't be death's place anymore.
11:47Just another little bit of fear I've lost, that's all.
11:54I can go away if you like.
11:56You what?
11:57If I'm putting you off, I can go away.
11:59You're not putting me off.
12:00No.
12:01I was trying to.
12:04What?
12:05They used to do it in Narrabri.
12:06In school, they'd do it at the back of the other kids' heads.
12:07Didn't you ever do that?
12:09No, I didn't.
12:10They didn't know it was me.
12:11They can sort of feel it, I reckon.
12:13Used to start getting all fidgety.
12:14Nearly always worked.
12:16Well, it didn't work with me.
12:18Yeah, I know.
12:19You made a brick.
12:23Quick, out of here.
12:24What's happening?
12:25Oh, I don't want anyone to come and shoot a portrait.
12:28And you're not hanging around for a look either, so don't get any ideas.
12:34Oh, good day, you guys.
12:35What you up to?
12:36Oh, just mucking around.
12:37Did you hear about the fire?
12:39No.
12:40What?
12:41What?
12:42What?
12:43Are you joking?
12:44No, I wished I was.
12:45Oh, apparently a gas cylinder went up or something.
12:48Dez was caught inside.
12:49They had to take him to hospital.
12:50It was a close call.
12:51It's all right, though.
12:52He's okay.
12:53Well, how did that happen?
12:54Oh, the fire chief was pretty cagey about it.
12:57I don't think they're really supposed to say anything until the experts have had a look.
13:00But he reckons that it probably started at the rubbish bin in the kitchen.
13:03Well, how'd they know that?
13:04Well, the pattern of the scorching on the woodwork.
13:06He showed me.
13:07It was pretty convincing.
13:08You could see how it all radiated out from that point.
13:11All right.
13:12Anyway, is anyone home?
13:13Ah, yeah.
13:14Helen's upstairs.
13:15See you.
13:16Bye.
13:22It must have started just after you left.
13:25It's a bit scary, isn't it?
13:26You could have been in there, too.
13:28Yeah.
13:30I don't know about it starting in the rubbish bin, though.
13:33The only way I could see that happening was if Harold was lighting the gas
13:37and he chucked the match away.
13:38He wouldn't do that.
13:39Oh, that's what I reckon, anyway.
13:41Oh, well.
13:42Looks like you're out of a job for a while.
13:44Oh, what's that matter?
13:45Des is in hospital, for heaven's sake.
13:46All right, all right.
13:47Shh.
13:48Sharon, please.
13:50Jane's trying to rest.
13:51Sorry, Mrs. Mangle.
13:52Yes, I should think so.
13:57Okay, what's up?
13:58Nothing.
13:59Quite fun it is, Sharon.
14:04Mr. Bishop didn't start the fire all right.
14:06I did.
14:07There.
14:08Happy now?
14:09What do you want about?
14:10You know how you asked me if I had to smoke with Vanessa?
14:12Oh, no.
14:13It was really foul.
14:14I took my drag and I chucked it in the bin.
14:16I thought it was out.
14:17You idiot.
14:18Why didn't you chuck...
14:19I don't know.
14:20I've really messed it up this time, haven't I?
14:23Oh, Nick, what am I gonna do?
14:33You like some visitors?
14:34Yeah, come in.
14:35We won't stay long.
14:36Beverly said you need your rest.
14:37No, just a piece of cake.
14:41I would say that particular piece of cake's a bit the worse of the wear, wouldn't you?
14:45Yeah, well, it's nice for you to come in.
14:50What can I say, mate?
14:52It saved my life.
14:53Thank you doesn't go halfway, does it?
14:56Yeah, well, under the circumstances, it was the least I could do, eh?
15:00Eh?
15:01I don't listen to him, dears.
15:02He's got this ridiculous idea that somehow he's responsible for what happened.
15:05Well, there are people like that, you know, Madge.
15:08Well, look what's happened recently.
15:10First there was that service station debacle with Jim and Rob,
15:13and then all the stupid chairs that I bought.
15:16And the minute Des takes me home as a partner, the coffee shop burns down.
15:21I'm a jinx.
15:23Oh, bull.
15:24Madge wasn't here, I'd tell you exactly what I thought of that idea.
15:27Oh, don't hold back on my account, dears.
15:29I've already had a few choice words to say myself.
15:31Honestly, you are the most exasperating man.
15:34This morning you were quite convinced you were a coward.
15:37That's one you can strike from the list, mate.
15:40And that's for being a jinx.
15:42You know, Helen said something to me once.
15:44People make their own luck.
15:46I believe in that.
15:48Well, what's it gonna be, mate?
15:52I suppose it does sound a bit silly.
15:55Damn right it is.
15:57Now, the first thing we're gonna do is find out how this coffee shop fire started,
16:02and what we're gonna do about it.
16:07Look, if I tell them it was me who started the fire,
16:09then they're just gonna pack me straight back to Narrabri.
16:11Well, they are. You know they are.
16:16I'll have to go back to living with Dad and Bill and Edie breathing down my neck all the time.
16:20It's not fair. I just got away from all that.
16:23So what do you reckon you should do?
16:27Well, the insurance should cover the coffee shop.
16:29I mean, it's not gonna help Dez, is it, if I own up?
16:32It's not gonna make him suddenly get better or anything.
16:36Yeah, all right, all right.
16:39I didn't say anything.
16:40It's the way you didn't say it.
16:42You think I should own up, don't you?
16:44No.
16:45You think you should own up,
16:46or you wouldn't be trying so hard to talk yourself out of it.
16:48Oh, what?
16:49Oh, no, no!
16:51What did you do to it?
16:52We didn't do anything!
16:53It was turned off!
16:55Oh, Jane's trying to sleep.
16:58Trying is right.
16:59We didn't go anywhere near it.
17:00Nan, I thought you said you were gonna leave this thing switched off.
17:02Well, I did, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
17:04Yeah, well, there must be some sort of short in the wiring or something.
17:06Well, I'm gonna get onto Joe straight away.
17:08I might as well go and see Paul.
17:10Yeah, he's over at the Robertson's house, telling everyone about the fire.
17:13What fire?
17:14The coffee shop.
17:15What?
17:16Yeah, well, Paul reckons it's totaled.
17:18They had to take Dez to the hospital.
17:22Oh, it's Jane.
17:23What?
17:24Oh.
17:25I'm sorry, Jane.
17:26I was just dreaming.
17:27About Daphne.
17:28Then I just saw you there and I thought...
17:29It's silly, isn't it?
17:30Yeah.
17:31I just came to make sure that you were alright.
17:32I just came to make sure that you were alright.
17:33I wasn't too sure what sort of a reception I get, though.
17:34What?
17:35What?
17:36Oh.
17:37Oh.
17:38You mean because of Penny?
17:39Oh.
17:40Oh.
17:41I'm sorry, Jane.
17:43I was just dreaming.
17:44About Daphne.
17:45Then I just saw you there and I thought...
17:49It's silly, isn't it?
17:51It's silly, isn't it?
17:52Yeah.
17:53I just came to make sure that you were alright.
17:56I wasn't too sure what sort of a reception I get, though.
18:00What?
18:01Oh.
18:02Oh.
18:03You mean because of Penny?
18:05Oh, Dez.
18:06I had no right to say any of those things.
18:08No, Jane.
18:09I told you it's all over.
18:12Look.
18:14If...
18:15I had been ready for a relationship...
18:18And Penny was the right person...
18:22Nothing anyone would have said would have made any difference.
18:27The fact is...
18:29You made me feel guilty.
18:32You couldn't have done that if...
18:34Deep down I knew that it wasn't the right thing.
18:37It still doesn't excuse what I did.
18:40You were tired.
18:41Overworked.
18:43Look.
18:45I've told you that your friendship means everything to me.
18:48Nothing's changed.
18:51Thanks, Dez.
19:02Listen.
19:03It'll be dinner soon.
19:04I'm gonna have to head back home.
19:05Yeah.
19:06Well, I do.
19:07Alright.
19:08I didn't say you didn't.
19:09Go on.
19:10Oh, look, Sharon.
19:11Look, I don't wanna talk about it anymore, okay?
19:12You're just being stupid.
19:13Somebody at the door.
19:15Oh.
19:16Hi.
19:17Sharon.
19:18Nick.
19:19Actually, it was you I wanted to see.
19:20Uh, why?
19:23Well, Paul said the fire brigade, almost certain that that fire began on the rubbish bin in the kitchen.
19:29Well, you were the last one there today, so I wondered if you had any idea of how it might have happened.
19:34Oh, well...
19:35It was me.
19:36I beg your pardon?
19:37The fire.
19:38Well, I was smoking and I threw the butt in the rubbish bin.
19:40I thought I'd put it out properly, but I can't have.
