00:00Neighbours
00:02Everybody needs good neighbours
00:06With a little understanding
00:10You can find the perfect blend
00:16Neighbours
00:18Neighbours
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbours become good friends
00:36You realise you're going to miss out on a pretty good evening?
00:40Yeah. Okay, I'll see you around maybe.
00:43You're not having much luck, are you?
00:45I've been out of circulation for a while.
00:47So how come you kept that?
00:49Because it comes in handy.
00:50What's so important about tonight anyway?
00:52It's a business dinner.
00:53Sounds boring. Lots of dreary speeches.
00:56Actually, it's a Chinese banquet with dancing afterwards.
00:59I love Chinese food.
01:00Hey, why don't you take me?
01:02I'm sick of this place. I need a night out.
01:05Nicky, this is the first time I've been out to dinner with my bosses.
01:09I need to make a good impression.
01:11And that includes taking out a sophisticated lady
01:13who can hold an intelligent conversation.
01:15No wonder nobody will go out with you.
01:17Sounds as if they have to pass an IQ test to be accepted.
01:20Come off it, Nicky. If I took you, they'd think I was cradle snatching.
01:22Forget it. Just forget it.
01:24Anyone for sandwiches?
01:26No. Thanks, just the same.
01:28Oh. Well, I'll leave them for Scott then.
01:30He's bound to be hungry after his bus trip.
01:32There's plenty in the kitchen for you, Paul, if you want them.
01:34No, thanks, Gran. I've got this dinner to go to tonight.
01:37But tonight's Scott's first night home.
01:39You haven't seen each other for ages.
01:40Gran, this is important. I can make some good business contacts here.
01:43Oh, honestly, Paul.
01:45Where's Scott?
01:47Wasn't on the bus.
01:49There must be some mistake. What time's the next one?
01:51There was no other one.
01:52He might have rung and let us know.
01:53Yeah. I'll phone the school.
01:55Yeah, I wasn't more important than I used to worry about.
01:59Where's Lucy?
02:01Out the back playing with Basil.
02:06There probably won't be any reply.
02:08I'll have to wait till tomorrow.
02:10Yeah, I want to work with Daphne.
02:11She's in her room and she doesn't want to talk to anyone. Sorry.
02:13Do you want to ask her out for dinner?
02:15How insensitive can you get?
02:17She should be on a honeymoon with theirs right now.
02:19Do you really think she's so shallow
02:21she's going to enjoy an intimate candlelit dinner with you instead?
02:23Zoe, it's not like that. It's purely a business function.
02:26I just need a partner.
02:27Well, what about you? Why don't you come with me?
02:29Well, apart from your attitude that anyone will do,
02:31which I don't like, I'm working tonight.
02:33Well, Mike can fill in at the coffee shop.
02:35You're missing the point, Paul.
02:36I don't want to go out with you anywhere.
02:38You've got a lousy reputation and I can see why now.
02:40You're rude, pushy and tackless.
02:42Yeah, well, your reputation's not that hot either.
02:44I thought you'd jump at the chance of a free feed.
02:46That's a pretty stupid thing to say seeing I work in a coffee shop.
02:49Oh, yeah, you're right.
02:50I should have known you need all the profits.
02:52You should change your approach.
02:54Your life's going to get pretty lonely.
02:56Why don't you come back and see me when you've woken up to yourself?
02:58Hmm.
03:06Scott definitely said he was coming home ahead of the others.
03:10Does Mr. Ross know why the trip was shortened?
03:13Well, nothing official.
03:14There are rumours about the boys playing up.
03:16Oh, Scott wouldn't have been involved with that.
03:18There must have been something pretty serious for the teachers
03:20to think they wanted to cancel the tour.
03:22Well, what I don't understand is why the school hasn't been in touch with the parents.
03:25It can't be that big a problem.
03:26He'll turn up.
03:27He wasn't on the bus.
03:28He's obviously missed it, hasn't he?
03:30Then why didn't he telephone?
03:32Well, knowing Scott, he hasn't got any money.
03:33He knows he can ring reverse charges.
03:35Granny, you're overreacting.
03:36Scott's a big boy now.
03:37He can look after himself.
03:38I am not overreacting.
03:40I'm the one who spoke to him.
03:42I could tell he was upset.
03:44I wonder if he is mixed up in it.
03:46Well, we're not going to know anything until I ring the school tomorrow.
03:49There's something about it I don't like, Jim.
03:51I can feel it.
03:52Mr. Sanderson.
03:53Hello, Ramsay.
03:54The general manager has asked me to talk to you.
03:55Come in.
03:56You have managed to lose an extremely expensive motor car.
03:57Well, that's not fair, Mr. Sanderson.
03:58It was stolen from me.
03:59I think it would be more accurate to say that you virtually gave it away.
04:15If you had adhered to company policy, this could never have happened.
04:19And company policy does not give you permission to hire yourself and the car out for weddings.
04:24Well, no.
04:26But I couldn't see any harm in her.
04:28I paid for the petrol I used.
04:30I should think so.
04:31But the fact remains that the car was stolen because you didn't obey company rules.
04:36However, I hope you'll be pleased to know the police have found the vehicle.
04:41Oh, great. Damaged?
04:42No.
04:43Well, so I can come back to work then?
04:46Good heavens, though.
04:47How could we ever trust you again?
04:49I've just come to pick up your uniform.
04:51From this date, you can consider yourself dismissed.
05:01Shouldn't you be taking away rather than netting?
05:03Not this time.
05:04Then why don't you use your calculator?
05:06Zoe, I really appreciate you trying to help, but I can manage, really.
05:09How come you're working so hard anyway?
05:10I thought you'd be on the school excursion.
05:11There's no crime against it, is there?
05:12They're not compulsory.
05:13Well, you know, most kids like those.
05:14Excursions aren't all there is to school.
05:15Okay, okay.
05:16Keep your shirt on.
05:17Sorry.
05:18Well, this homework's really got you keyed up.
05:19I'm just a bit behind.
05:20It's not that easy to work at home.
05:21Yeah, I know.
05:22It used to be like a madhouse at home when I had exams.
05:23I thought I'd go crazy with all the distractions.
05:24Yeah, right.
05:25That's why I was wondering if it'd be okay if I kept on doing my homework here.
05:27Well, I can't see why not.
05:28Definitely won't mind.
05:29Do you think she'll be back to work this week?
05:30I don't know.
05:31It mightn't be a bad idea if she did, though, to take her mind off the cancelled wedding.
05:33Yeah, that was real lousy.
05:34Well, I'll go.
05:35I'll go.
05:36I'll go.
05:37I'll go.
05:38I'll go.
05:39I'll go.
05:40I'll go.
05:41I'll go.
05:42I'll go.
05:43I'll go.
05:44I'll go.
05:45I'll go.
05:46I'll go.
05:47I'll go.
05:48I'll go.
05:49I'll go.
05:50I'll go.
05:51I'll go.
05:52Yeah, that was real lousy.
05:53I'll go.
05:54I'll go.
05:55I'll go.
05:56I'll go.
05:57You get on with your work.
05:58Hi.
05:59I'm sorry I was such a jerk before.
06:00I'm not really like that.
06:01Would you like to order?
06:03Come on.
06:04I'm trying to apologise.
06:05Oh, okay.
06:07I'll give you a second chance.
06:10Nobody could be that big a creep.
06:11Great, because I was hoping you'd reconsider about tonight.
06:14I'd really like you to come.
06:15No, I don't think so.
06:17Zoe, I am trying.
06:19Now, come on.
06:20What do you say?
06:21Can't just leave Mike here on his own.
06:23It's not exactly busy.
06:24Now, come on.
06:25This is a top restaurant.
06:26There's going to be businessmen there.
06:27You'll make contacts.
06:28Maybe you'll get a better job than this.
06:30Oh, okay.
06:31I'll take a chance.
06:32I'll just tell Mike.
06:34Mike, you've been asking to work extra hours.
06:38How would you like to start now?
06:40Sure.
06:41You've got a date.
06:42Purely business.
06:43Go on, Zoe.
06:44There's not much time.
06:45I'll give you a lift home.
06:46Don't worry.
06:47I'll look up.
06:48I can manage.
06:49This Mr Sanderson sounds a terrible man.
06:52Yes, he is.
06:53Although, apparently the decision to fire me come from higher up.
06:54What's not?
06:55Sorry.
06:56My sins warranted general manager involvement.
06:57You've got that car back?
06:58Yes, but I was pretty irresponsible.
06:59You may be, but not enough to be fired.
07:00I would have thought a good ticking off would have done.
07:02I just wish he hadn't made that crack about me being unemployable.
07:03He knows all about the accident and the back injury.
07:05Uh-uh.
07:06Well, at least the doctor's given you a clean bill of health, so finding a new job shouldn't
07:09be too much of a struggle.
07:10I wish I had your optimism.
07:11Cheers.
07:12Does Max know?
07:13I dare not tell him.
07:14He'd be around at the fielding straight away, and then we'd have to find money for a damages
07:19suit.
07:20I'd risk it for the moral support.
07:21No, I'll wait a while.
07:22It'd be great if I had a job, though, when I told him.
07:23You won't fool him for long.
07:24I'll give it a couple of days, but you won't say anything, will you, Helen?
07:27No, no, not if you don't want me to.
07:29Let's just hope I can find something.
07:30You will.
07:31You will.
07:32Just think positive.
07:33I'll give it a couple of days.
07:34I'll give it a couple of days.
07:35You won't say anything.
07:36Will you?
07:37No.
07:38No, no.
07:39No, no.
07:40No.
07:41Not if you don't want me to.
07:43No.
07:44No, no.
07:45No, no.
07:46But just hope I can find something.
07:47I can find something you will just think positive there's nothing worse than a
07:50potential employee with a hang dog expression what are you looking at
07:55Shay you devil no I just want to check that Mike won't be sick
08:22I've got a check the money's still there
08:36Mike's pretty irresponsible leaving the day's takings like that yeah I can't
08:41understand it I'm usually the careless one what do you think you should tell
08:44Daphne oh no I have a talk to him first he needs the job he gets pretty tired
08:48work and school you can't be too heavy with him we shouldn't take things on if
08:52you can't handle them properly oh I thought we buried the dynamic young
08:55executive for tonight I had a very nice evening don't spoil it now just don't
08:58want the guy playing on your sympathies I mean you're not used to handling
09:01employees how long have you been lording over the sweatshop mr.
09:04super boss I have to keep my typist in line I really enjoyed dinner tonight Paul
09:09worked with some nice people yeah they were pretty impressed with you in fact my
09:13boss said that he wished all the company wives look like you typical chauvinist

09:41how was the dinner last night it was really good did Zoe behave herself you stupid Nikki and what
09:53about you then were you very rude or just average rude is that how they teach you to carry on at
09:57that posh school well I bet one night was enough for Zoe well as a matter of fact she's agreed to
10:01come out with me to the next company function I thought she'd have more sense did you get through
10:05to the secretary she wouldn't tell me a damn thing principal won't be in for another hour look
10:11have some egg it might cheer you up more than breakfast morning oh no thank you actually I've
10:19come to ask you a favor that sounds ominous I'm in the market for a new job and I was wondering if
10:23it's worth talking to your personnel manager oh worth a try I suppose here what's wrong with the one
10:27you've got the one I had you mean Sanderson fired me oh come on you should have been able to talk
10:32him out of that that was a misunderstanding not the way he saw it Shane you're never gonna get
10:36anywhere if you don't assert yourself you're likely to antagonize people if you don't watch what you
10:40say I'll certainly keep an eye out for you yeah and I'll check around my office if you like I
10:44wouldn't want to put you to any trouble Paul would you all mind not saying anything to dad I haven't
10:49told him yet of course not thank you well I'm off to the doll office see you all later
10:55Shane needs your support not your criticism he hasn't always had things handed to on a platter
11:03and you're saying I have oh and settle down we're all tense at the moment particularly with this
11:10uncertainty about Scott Fran I was only doing him a favor Shane's never gonna get anywhere if he
11:15doesn't have a little push I wouldn't have said it if we weren't friends some friend oh hi Mike what
11:23are you doing here I'm just leaving I'm late for school what's the rush what are you doing here
11:27before school anyway um I just left some more books here that's all it isn't because you forgot to
11:33empty the till last night is it if you till oh sorry so yeah I did forget what's going on here Mike
11:39you're lying I want to know why it's nothing okay just leave me alone you slept here last night
11:43didn't you Mike why won't you trust me we've always been friends I want to help he was just
11:48a bit of trouble at home last night that's all is that the first time you slept here those bruises
11:53have they got something to do with it look it's nothing okay I've got to get to school
11:56I really appreciate this Aunt Helen normally I have to pay a dressmaker to do it
12:03Nikki it's me you can drop the lady bountiful routine none of my friends are treated like this
12:08I sound thoroughly sport I don't know what you mean well from what you say most of the
12:12fathers seem to be millionaires oh no there's only about six really wealthy ones how come
12:18they're the only ones you're friendly with because they're the ones who can help me get somewhere
12:21this is the dress you were talking about yesterday oh no this one I picked up in a sale it was only
12:27fifty dollars it was a steal do you have any idea how hard your mother works to send you to that
12:32school of course I have well couldn't you be a little less extravagant but I only buy what I need
12:38for the sorts of places I go to anyway mother gets her room free at the hotel so what does she need
12:42any money for ah well there you are take it off a nice soda thanks I better get my stuff packed and
12:51go back to school I've got an English class this afternoon what's wrong Scott has disappeared
13:02the headmaster hasn't got a clue where he's gone to what's happened he couldn't he couldn't disappear
13:09for no reason you got reason all right I've been accused of rape I still can't understand why the
13:19school didn't contact us straight away I assume they wanted to be sure of their facts the headmaster
13:25was wanting to talk to the boys when they got back and and when Scott disappeared they just assumed that
13:29he'd come home judging by his phone call that's obviously what he intended to do but he didn't
13:34make the bus I think he must have had an accident not necessarily he might be just taking some time
13:42to think we know he wouldn't do a thing like that maybe he's maybe he's trying to prove it to other
13:47people I just wish he'd come home so we could help him poor darling you must be terrified at least
13:53they didn't call in the police no no the whole thing was hushed up still if he doesn't turn up
13:58shortly we're gonna have to ask him to give us a hand to find him in which case the whole story
14:02will come out uh why don't you try talking to some of Scott's friends who are on the trip
14:05they might have some ideas yeah they might the trouble is that since Danny left school Scott's
14:12been a bit of a loner Helen you haven't got any idea who no I don't really know oh what about Mike
14:21young he's in Scots here you know the boy from the coffee shop
14:23oh it's a place to start worth a try anyway
14:27quite a worker
14:31do I spite me
14:32Mike we should talk about this if you've got a problem maybe I can help
14:42damn it
14:42people don't just stay in coffee shops overnight for no reason
14:46like they're avoiding something something at home someone at home I want to help I promise it
14:53won't go any further thanks all the same but I can handle it
14:56fair enough
14:58well all hands on deck
15:00come on hello Mr. Robinson where would you like to sit
15:04well I'm not staying so I just wanted to find out what time Mike comes into work I want to talk to him
15:09he's here now as a matter of fact in the kitchen shall I get him for you
15:11no no no no I'd like to talk to him privately can I go through
15:13sure
15:15thanks
15:17Mr. Robinson hi
15:19hi Mike
15:21Mike I need your help you will have heard about the problems they had on the school excursion
15:25sure all the kids are talking about it
15:27well I'd like to talk to some of the boys who were there the ones that knew Scott
15:31I don't know Mr. Robinson they might want to get involved
15:34well I just want to find out if they have any idea where he might have gone because his grandmother and I are frankly very worried
15:39it's not surprising you took off I've heard about the rape charge
15:42there weren't the charges that's the point
15:44the police were never brought into it but um well Scott took off before he knew that
15:48I just like to talk to him make sure he's all right and give him a chance to explain what really happened
15:53gee I didn't know I'll try and find out who his best mates are I'll get him to talk to you
15:57I would appreciate it you'll do it as soon as you can
15:58as soon as I get back to school
15:59thanks Mike
16:03I've signed up three people this morning for the superannuation plan
16:06you know if I keep selling at this rate I'm going to be able to retire by the time I'm about 30
16:11isn't there a cooling off period
16:13oh yeah but there's no worries with these clients
16:15they're talking about taking up the options on the mortgage trust as well
16:19now even young people are planning for their financial future
16:22well they seem to be more conscious of their security than I thought
16:25well with the right persuasion of course
16:27well I'm glad you're enjoying it
16:28yeah and the funny thing is it all seems worthwhile
16:31well like I'm helping them
16:32gotta admit that's pretty satisfying
16:34you know it wouldn't be a bad idea if you turned your protective feeling towards your family
16:39yeah
16:41now I presume they're referring to Scott
16:43and you and dad are doing enough worry for all of us
16:45this wouldn't have been your attitude six months ago
16:48you used to care what happened
16:49grand Scott's a big boy
16:51he can look out for himself
16:53and I mean if he's stupid enough to get himself into trouble
16:55well he can get himself out of it again
16:57dad's still trying to wet nurse him
16:59look you'd get more support from your father
17:01if you at least attempted to meet him halfway
17:03uh was mike any help
17:07well he's gonna ask around
17:09I don't know there's much point
17:11kids tend to clam up when adults start asking questions
17:13where's the overnight bag
17:15in my wardrobe why
17:17well I'm not gonna just sit around on the off chance
17:19that one of those kids will decide to talk to me
17:21I'm gonna go back up to the last camping site
17:23there's no doubt and see what I can find
17:24well there's one in a million chances now
17:28if he decides to stick around which I doubt it
17:30and if he just wants you to come and get him which I doubt even more
17:33what makes you think he's gonna come home with you
17:35Paul
17:35in fact what makes you think he's gonna come home at all
17:38you make blueprints and you expect your kids to turn out the same way
17:42I mean I'm a disappointment to you
17:43Scott probably feels the same way
17:44Scott is my son
17:51and my responsibility
17:55yeah you'll do your best won't you dad
17:58let's just hope it's not too late for all our sakes
