00:02I was at the bar late one night with Mark.
00:06This is before Jesse went off the cliff.
00:10We'd be drinking.
00:12And?
00:14I slept with him.
00:17I'm just buying the time so that you can talk to Jess or get out of the wedding.
00:20If I talk to him, there won't be a wedding.
00:23I can't live with a lie.
00:24Just talk to Jess before the wedding or I don't want to see you anymore.
00:28You know, the article in the paper is really stirring things up,
00:30but I need to call a town meeting just to calm things down.
00:32People seriously can't be believing that, Catmire. It's an absolute prank.
00:35Look, I don't really want to go into it right now,
00:36but let's just say there are a lot of rumours flying around
00:38that I don't want any of them to take hold.
00:43You know we belong together
00:48You and I forever and ever
00:52No matter where you are
00:55You're my guiding star
00:59You're my guiding star
01:01Hold me in your arms
01:03Don't let me go
01:05I want to stay forever
01:09Close I reach day
01:12Home and away
01:15Great. More damage for me to control the media.
01:18Well, I'm sorry, Detective Baker.
01:19I told Arthur not to write any more stories,
01:22but he obviously didn't listen.
01:23Well, what's this crash he's talking about?
01:25Well, a car ran off the road a few days ago
01:27and we still haven't found the truck driver who did it yet.
01:29So you think he could be the stalker?
01:30Well, look, there is no stalker.
01:31It just shows you that the media will jump on anything right now.
01:34Oh, what sort of truck was it?
01:35No, but it doesn't matter.
01:36You heard, Peter.
01:37It's all a load of hullabaloo.
01:38No, not necessarily.
01:40You see it on the news all the time.
01:42What are you talking about?
01:43Well, a fella gets the sack
01:44and next thing you know,
01:45he turns up with a rifle looking for revenge
01:48and they're mainly ex-postal workers.
01:50Yeah, and it mainly happens in America.
01:51What? They don't give him the sack over here.
01:53Well, there you go, mate.
01:54The case is solved.
01:54The hostie did it.
01:55Look, just turn up at the meeting tomorrow night, OK?
01:57We'll discuss all these concerns
01:58and hopefully set a few of them to rest.
02:00Well, right now, I said to Josie
02:01I'd help her with the dress fitting,
02:02so I'm off.
02:03Yeah, we should set up a turn.
02:04Let's do it.
02:05See ya.
02:05See ya.
02:10Oh, that's not exactly the response I was hoping for.
02:13Sorry, it just caught me by surprise.
02:16Are you sure that's all it is?
02:17Because you haven't really been acting yourself lately.
02:19It's just, um...
02:21I can't help thinking about what Tasha said last week.
02:25Wait a minute.
02:26Stupid stuff about us acting more like mates
02:28than girlfriend and boyfriend.
02:29Yeah, I know.
02:29We already talked about it.
02:31Yeah, we did.
02:31What's the big deal?
02:32Well, it keeps playing on my mind.
02:35And when we had lunch together the other day,
02:37I kind of felt more like Robbie and Tasha's big sister
02:39than a friend.
02:40Well, they don't think that about you.
02:42What's it got to do with us anyway?
02:45How's this a roundabout way of saying you want to cool things?
02:48No, no, of course not.
02:49It's just...
02:50Well, I guess we haven't really spent a lot of time alone together.
02:54Yeah, we have.
02:54Well, no, if you think about it,
02:56we're either with Robbie and Tasha
02:57or Zoe and Scott or somebody.
03:01All right, well, let's do something about it.
03:03I'll organise something special tonight.
03:05What about the town meeting?
03:06No, we'll get someone to fill us in.
03:08Yeah?
03:09Okay.
03:09Six o'clock.
03:11Yep.
03:11Okay.
03:18A wedding on a rollercoaster.
03:20Mm-hmm.
03:21I saw it on TV.
03:22The bride had to say,
03:24I do, just as they were going down the hill.
03:26Well, it was, I do.
03:28Oh, ow, quick.
03:29Oh, ow, ow.
03:31Can I see, Josie?
03:31Where's your wife?
03:32Where are we supposed to go?
03:33I don't know.
03:34The beach is so popular.
03:35Anyway, just get out.
03:37Oh, honestly,
03:38what is he trying to do?
03:39Put a curse on your marriage before it's even started?
03:41Oh, well, you know what men are like.
03:43Yeah, but why is it always us women
03:44have to make sure the wedding gets off on the right foot?
03:47Hey, I meant to ask,
03:48is Scott coming back for the wedding?
03:51Oh, probably.
03:52He's having a good time,
03:53so he might stay a bit longer.
03:54Yeah, where is he?
03:55Oh, he had a chance to go away with some mates.
03:58Last-minute cancellation or something.
03:59All right.
04:01You two okay out there?
04:02Yeah, you've been really quiet.
04:05Us?
04:06Must be nerves.
04:08Everybody gets up for a wedding, don't they?
04:09Uh-huh.
04:13Well, that's your place for coffee.
04:15Oh, well, I could have had it here, you know.
04:17The ambience is so much nicer in your place.
04:19You are such a clever.
04:21Mwah.
04:24G'day, love.
04:25Hey, Kim.
04:26Dad.
04:30Hey, Colleen.
04:31Could you put together a picnic hamper for me, please?
04:35Hey.
04:36A hamper.
04:37The works.
04:37Two people.
04:39Oh, right.
04:40Who's the lucky lady, then?
04:42Oh, of course, Hayley.
04:44Silly me.
04:45I forgot you two were together.
04:47Hey, so what do you reckon?
04:49Your old man and Irene next down the aisle?
04:50Oh, mate, look.
04:52As long as I don't have to watch, you know.
04:54Oh, yeah.
04:55I'm with you.
04:56Course, medium or fine?
04:58Huh?
04:58The patate.
04:59Oh, um, medium, yeah.
05:03Taking Hayley on a picnic.
05:04We haven't really been spending that much time together, so I'll try and make it up to her.
05:08Oh, good.
05:10What do you mean, oh, good?
05:12I mean, good, brilliant, fantastic.
05:14No, you don't.
05:16If you've got something to say, just say it.
05:19It's just you and Hayley, that's all.
05:20Not that it's a bad thing.
05:21I'm happy for you.
05:22But?
05:23It's a surprise.
05:25I mean, you've known her for, like, ages, but you didn't seem keen before.
05:28Well, if she wasn't available before.
05:30True.
05:31Well, as long as she likes you and you like her.
05:34Exactly.
05:35Look, mate, just because it hasn't been bells, rockets and fireworks from the beginning doesn't mean it's not going to
05:39work.
05:40Of course not.
05:43We just need some time, that's all.
05:45Yeah.
05:45Might go?
05:46Hmm.
05:46Good.
05:48One quick question.
05:49Yeah?
05:50What's pay?
05:53Tash, wait.
05:54I didn't get a chance to talk to you.
05:55Please.
05:56What?
05:57We shouldn't be arguing.
05:58Well, you know what to do to stop this.
06:00You're making this sound so simple.
06:02It is.
06:04Look, I agree with you about couples being honest with each other and really do.
06:08Then tell Jesse about Mark.
06:09I meant before what I said.
06:11When are you going to get it?
06:13Not all situations are black and white.
06:15Look, all I know is that you're lying to him.
06:18Because I don't want to hurt him.
06:19You are hurting him.
06:21Oh, for God's sake, Tasha, what does it take to get through to you?
06:25I love Jesse.
06:26I made a mistake.
06:27I am going to sort it out in my own time and in my own way.
06:31Now, all I am asking is that you don't interfere.
06:33Is that so difficult?
06:36Fine.
06:36If you're going to behave like a petunit little schoolgirl,
06:38but I am not getting into your old manners.
06:41Now, if you spoil this for us,
06:43you've got to live with the consequences.
06:51I'll see you at the meeting, then.
06:53Indeed you will.
06:54Mm-hmm.
06:57Who'd have thunk it, eh?
06:58Me and Barry Hyde.
07:00Yeah.
07:01So, did you get all your stuff moved into the downstairs room okay?
07:04Yes.
07:05Yep.
07:06So, what's the matter?
07:08Nothing.
07:09I'm fine.
07:09Really.
07:10Come on, girly.
07:11You don't fool me one bit.
07:13What's wrong?
07:15Well, I've just started going out with Kim,
07:17and I should be walking on air like you and Barry are,
07:19but instead...
07:20Well, you do like him, don't you?
07:22Yeah, he's a really nice guy.
07:25Oh, dear.
07:26Just nice, eh?
07:27There's something missing, you know, the spark.
07:30Well, love, sometimes it takes a bit for that spark to get going, you know?
07:34Yeah, I know, but I just can't help thinking about how we got together.
07:38Well, you've certainly been through a lot.
07:40Yeah, but see, maybe that's been clouding my judgment.
07:42Well, darling, it comes to love.
07:44Sometimes the lines are blurry, you know?
07:47Maybe you've just got to go with your gut feeling.
07:51Maybe that's the problem I've been waiting to get someone else's feeling.
07:55I always thought Noah would give me a sign when I met the right guy.
07:59Stupid, huh?
08:00No, love, I don't think it's stupid at all,
08:02but I think if you're having second thoughts about Kim,
08:04you should be talking to him about it.
08:06It's not that easy.
08:07Oh, trust me, the longer you leave it, the harder it'll get.
08:17I knew there was something wrong.
08:19I wanted to tell you earlier, but Josie made me promise.
08:21Well, I'm glad you spoke up now.
08:23She just makes me so angry.
08:25You know, she called me a schoolgirl,
08:26and she said she wouldn't take any of my ultimatums.
08:29Sounds like guilt-talking to me.
08:32Like, she's trying to make me feel guilty,
08:33as if I've done something wrong.
08:35You haven't?
08:36I know, I keep thinking about Jess, the poor guy.
08:39He's the one who's going to get hurt.
08:41You're not planning to tell him, are you?
08:44No, but I told Josie that she has to tell him before the wedding,
08:47otherwise I don't want anything to do with her.
08:49But there won't be any wedding if she tells him.
08:51Yeah, that's what she keeps saying.
08:53Then maybe you should leave it to her.
08:56What?
08:57Don't get angry.
08:58Just try and look at her from Josie's point of view.
09:00When she told you, she was probably hoping for support.
09:03Rob, how can I support her?
09:05What she did to Jessie was terrible.
09:07How can you say that was okay?
09:09Hello again.
09:10Don't mind me.
09:13Wait.
09:14Wait.
09:16I'm not saying what Josie did was okay.
09:18What are you saying then?
09:19I just reckon you should stay out of it.
09:22Regardless of everything, Josie's your family and she loves you.
09:26You know, I love her too.
09:28And that's why it hurts so much.
09:30I know.
09:32I felt the same way about Dad cheating on Mum all those years.
09:36Take it from me.
09:38Don't ruin what you've got because of something that really has nothing to do with you.
09:44Yeah, I'll see you later.
09:46Bye.
10:11Well, you're still going then?
10:13Yeah, he's probably already booked a table.
10:15Well, a simple phone call it on, book it, girly.
10:18No, it's not fair for me to back out just because I'm feeling weird.
10:21Yeah, and it's not fair for you to string Kim along either.
10:25Look, love, maybe you should take it easy for a while.
10:28Tell him you need time to get your head together or until you get this sign that you're waiting for.
10:33Yeah, well, maybe this whole sign thing is just my imagination going crazy.
10:41Ah, whoops.
10:44I thought we were going to a restaurant.
10:47Yeah, I said something special.
10:49I meant a picnic.
10:50Sorry.
10:51No, I'm sorry.
10:52I shouldn't have assumed.
10:53I think what we have here is a failure to communicate, guys.
10:58Well, I'll go get changed.
10:59No, no, no, you look beautiful.
11:01I'd be ashamed to change.
11:02Okay, um, well, I'll see you later.
11:06Have fun.
11:10Wow, looks like a big turnout.
11:12Yeah, I hope Pete's finished writing his speech.
11:14Action speak louder than words.
11:17Black pepper and ground ginger.
11:19Right.
11:20Well, it's really nice on roast lamb, apparently.
11:21If anyone comes near me on the way home, whoosh, straighten the eyes.
11:26Well, hopefully you won't feel so threatened after the meeting, Colin.
11:29That's why we're having it to put people's minds at rest.
11:38Wow, this place looks beautiful.
11:40Yeah, it is, isn't it?
11:41I think later on we could watch the sun go down, go for a nice walk in the moonlight.
11:46Yeah, that sounds nice.
11:47Yes.
11:53Oh, I'm sorry.
11:56Are you all right?
11:57Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
11:59I've got a nice picnic packed.
12:00I've got chicken, rolls, salad, nice bottle of wine.
12:06Oh, great.
12:07What?
12:09The bottle's broken.
12:12Hey, Dash.
12:13Hey.
12:14I hope I didn't upset you before.
12:16No, actually, you made me think.
12:17Oh, sorry.
12:18Can you give me a hand to move the table?
12:20Yeah, sure.
12:20To be continued, okay?
12:24Hey, Dash.
12:25Do you think it's safe to go out of the apartment yet?
12:27Nothing else there I shouldn't see, is there?
12:29No, I don't think so.
12:30All these superstitions, I tell you.
12:33You know they say it's unlucky to see Pig on the way to the church?
12:36Or a nun, apparently.
12:38Right.
12:38Yeah.
12:40You okay?
12:41Yep, fine.
12:43Sure?
12:47Hi.
12:48Have I missed something?
12:50No, we're just talking about the wedding.
12:54Excuse me, I've got to talk to Rob.
13:04You don't have to eat it.
13:05No, it's okay.
13:06The red wine actually really goes with the sandwich.
13:09Uh-uh.
13:10Hang on.
13:11A bit of bottle.
13:13Sorry.
13:14Sorry.
13:30Ow!
13:31What's wrong?
13:32Ow!
13:33I'm being bitten.
13:35Ow!
13:36Ah, jeez!
13:37Ah!
13:38Where is Pete?
13:39He should have been here ages ago.
13:42Ah, hi, I'm sorry I'm late.
13:43Yes, I know I should have phoned.
13:44What can I say?
13:45Just give me a couple of minutes and we'll get started.
13:47Okay?
13:47Okay.
13:56Thanks for not saying anything to Jessie.
13:58Is that what you thought I was doing?
13:59It crossed my mind.
14:02And I'm sorry about before.
14:03I shouldn't have shouted.
14:04That's cool.
14:04Hey, um, I did tell someone, though.
14:06I told Robbie.
14:09Now, who's your boyfriend?
14:11I suppose I can understand that.
14:13He made me understand some things, too.
14:16What you did was wrong, and I'm not going to change my mind about that.
14:19But I kind of realised it wasn't my place to tell you how to fix it.
14:24Sweetheart.
14:24I'm going to come to your wedding and be your bridesmaid, because I love you, but not what you've done.
14:33Means a lot to me.
14:35You still had a problem, though.
14:37Mark's not just going to go away.
14:39No, he's not.
14:42What are you going to do about it?
14:50I understand your concern.
14:52We all remember what happened in our community just six months ago.
14:55Okay, but rest assured, this is not the same situation.
14:58According to this, it's even worse.
15:00What you're holding is an example of extremely poor journalism.
15:03Okay, it's not surprising that the writer declined my invitation to this meeting.
15:07Thank goodness for that.
15:08So you're saying the Somervais Stalker doesn't exist?
15:11What I'm saying is there have been some incidents recently, but there's no reason to believe that they're linked.
15:15Well, maybe you just haven't found the link.
15:17Well, myself and my colleagues are investigating every matter.
15:19Just like you were supposed to investigate that Sarah Lewis character.
15:22Like I said, this is a different situation.
15:24Well, shouldn't you be treating evening more seriously?
15:26I mean, we're sitting next to a bar named after the poor bloke that woman shot dead.
15:29Look, believe me, of all people understand the need to protect ourselves, but reading rubbish like this and overreacting is
15:34not the way to go about it.
15:35All that's going to do is lead to hysteria.
15:37And how should we go about it, detective?
15:40Stay calm, keep your eyes open and report anything that's out of the ordinary.
15:43Bit late of you, the poor soul being murdered in your bed.
15:46And do not blow things out of proportion, okay?
15:48Yeah, that's the way that things are going to get way out of hand.
15:56Tonight hasn't exactly been a raging success, has it?
16:00Oh, it's been okay.
16:09It's getting cold.
16:11Well, that's why we should huddle together for a moment.
16:15And that road's probably going to get tricky in the dark.
16:19What, just a few more minutes?
16:27Oh, maybe not.
16:28Here we go.
16:29Yeah, okay.
16:33Okay, I'm going.
16:38And I've drafted a letter to the paper demanding an end to this sensationalist reporting.
16:42And if you do find out that the stalker exists, you will inform us, won't you?
16:46You have my word.
16:47But the situation hasn't come to that.
16:49Your town is not under any threat.
16:51So, unless anyone has any further questions...
16:54Oh, he's come for us!
16:55Oh, please, everyone, just stay calm.
16:57Keep your seats, folks.
16:59He's on his skin.
17:00Here you go.
17:02Just a fuse.
17:04Come on, folks.
17:05Is this the way that you want to live your lives?
17:06Jumping out of your skin every time that there's a thunderstorm and the lights go out?
17:09Maybe not, but I'll still be sleeping with a rolling pin beside my bed, thank you very much.
17:14Oh, Colleen.
17:26Looks like the storm's passed.
17:28Yeah, it looks like it.
17:34Do you want the radio on?
17:36Go for it.
17:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:50I won't.
17:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
17:54I don't do this.
17:55No, no, no, no, no.
18:27I don't do this.
18:27Whoa, what have you done?
18:33Oh, yuck.
18:38Oh, yuck.
18:45Do you think someone's trying to tell us something?
18:51This isn't working, is it?
18:57No, it's not.
19:09How are you feeling?
19:10Better than I thought. You?
19:12Yeah, not so bad.
19:15We've done the right thing, haven't we? Calling it quits?
19:18Yeah, we're good mates.
19:19But that's all we ever should have been.
19:21Getting together, it was, um...
19:24I don't know, it felt right at the time, but it just...
19:27It wasn't.
19:28Yeah.
19:29And the last thing I want is to lose our friendship,
19:31and that's probably what would have happened if we'd stayed together.
19:34Yeah, I know.
19:36I did want it to work, though.
19:37Yeah, I know, so did I.
19:40But see, maybe that was half the problem.
19:41We're both trying to make something work that was never going to.
19:44With the plane crashed Valentine's Day,
19:46it was a really weird set of circumstances,
19:48and we rushed into something that we shouldn't have.
19:53I've never told you this before,
19:54but I used to look at you and Noah
19:56and think you guys had the perfect relationship.
20:00Oh, no, I guess... I guess I wanted that, too.
20:03Oh, hang in there. You'll meet the right girl someday.
20:05Oh, g'day, g'day.
20:09Well, you two look like you had a humdinger of an evening.
20:12Yeah, in a funny sort of way.
20:14How was the meeting?
20:15Oh, fine.
20:16Until the lights went off.
20:18Oh, long story, doll.
20:20But I have to say,
20:21Peter did a really good job of reassuring everyone.
20:24I know I was sceptical,
20:25but after tonight,
20:27I don't think we've got a thing to worry about.
20:30The kids aren't due home yet.
20:33Um, maybe they're not,
20:34unless they forgot their keys.
20:36All right, be careful.
20:40Oh, what?
20:40Oh, my God.
20:43Matilda!
20:44Henry!
20:46Maddie!
20:47Henry, are you here?
20:53Mum?
20:55I'm just ringing the kids.
20:57Look at this.
21:00Look at this.
21:13It's suddenly clear
21:17I will always
21:19lead you here
21:21Hold me in your arms
21:24Don't let me go
21:26I want to stay forever
21:29Closer each day
21:31Home and away
21:36Home and away
21:38Forever
