00:00I've read the email. There is no way that we can go ahead with this pageant.
00:02Look, think about it. It's the perfect opportunity to catch the stalker in action.
00:06What, and put the whole town at risk in the process?
00:08I mean, look, the stage is outside. There'll be kids every minute.
00:10Yeah, and we'll have undercover officers in the crowd.
00:12Besides, if we cancel now, we're only going to cause panic in the community.
00:16You don't give a damn about this community, Claire.
00:23Let me know as soon as you find anything about the source of the email, won't you?
00:39Um, what was all that about?
00:42I know you, Claire.
00:44You just want to have the glory of cracking this case,
00:47and then you don't care whose lives you put at risk in the process.
00:51Look, I understand you have friends here, and your brother,
00:54but I wouldn't be suggesting this if I didn't think we could protect them.
00:57Yeah, I thought that too once, but that didn't stop an innocent man from getting shot dead, did it?
01:00Look, if you are too emotionally involved, fine.
01:03I understand. Take the day off.
01:04But the pageant is going ahead with or without you.
01:26Good.
01:27Not wasting any time, are you, girly?
01:29Yeah, well, there's no time to waste. We leave straight after the pageant, remember?
01:31You see, this is what I don't understand, Tash.
01:34I mean, just because Josie's leaving today doesn't mean to say you have to.
01:37Well, why wait? I'm not going to change my mind.
01:41Yeah, well, you know, it'd give me time to get used to the idea, but...
01:45Rainy, it's going to be hard either way. I may as well just get it over with.
01:49Right, now I need to organise the caravan park.
01:52What's to organise?
01:54I've decided to sell it.
01:56What?
01:56Yeah, I'm going to let Sally and Flynn make the first offer.
01:59But, Tash, wait a minute. That's your investment for your future.
02:02Rainy, sir, I'll find another investment.
02:04You know, there's no point hanging on to it if I'm not going to be able to keep an eye
02:06on it.
02:09Oh, speaking of which, there's something else that I need to get rid of.
02:12What?
02:13Um, my share of the diner.
02:16I want to give it to you as a gift.
02:18Oh, don't be ridiculous, love. I can't accept that.
02:21Honey, I want you to have it, really.
02:22It's my way of saying thank you for everything.
02:27OK, now, I've got to go and see Sally and Flynn, so I'll see you soon.
02:35This way, and try not to press my dress.
02:37I've been as busy as a bee with a bottom full of honey,
02:40and there's still so much to organise.
02:42On the table, thank you, Rick.
02:44We still have to set up the sound system and the judge's table.
02:48Oh, no!
02:50What's wrong?
02:51You!
02:51Hey, what have I done?
02:52No, not you, you!
02:54What, me?
02:55A you!
02:57There's a you in Groper!
02:59I should have known I couldn't trust Joy Foxen to do anything right,
03:03and the banner was supposed to be in the shape of a fish!
03:05I think you'll find that it could have been spelt both ways, Colleen.
03:07It wasn't spelt that way in 1959,
03:10and we're not going to have it spelt that way today.
03:12Either it's fixed or we call the whole thing off.
03:15Over a spelling mistake.
03:16Miss Groper is an institution, a tradition to be respected.
03:21Matilda's happy to do it.
03:23Oh, bless you, dear.
03:25A new generation of Miss Gropers will thank you for years to come.
03:29But I have to get ready for the pageant.
03:30Maybe you could give your sister a hand.
03:32Just bring her back to my place.
03:33We'll fix it there.
03:34Hey, where's Cassie?
03:36Don't ask me.
03:37I thought you guys sorted out your problems last week.
03:39Well, how could we when she wouldn't tell me what was wrong?
03:42There was nothing wrong.
03:43Cassie explained everything.
03:44And I didn't believe her.
03:45People don't get that upset for no reason.
03:47You're half-sisters.
03:48Grow up, Henry.
03:49Look, trust me.
03:50You're making something out of nothing.
03:52Quickly!
03:52We don't have all day!
03:57Hey.
03:58Hi.
04:01Where are you going with my banner?
04:03Colleen said it was spelt wrong.
04:05Well, let's see about that.
04:07Um, we're just going around to Rick to see if you want to come.
04:10Um, sure.
04:12I'll just double this.
04:13I'll catch up with you guys.
04:14All right.
04:15You're right here.
04:16Thanks.
04:18So, um, where have you been the last few days?
04:22Oh, men have me locked in the house, perfecting the art of the path.
04:27Look, I was sick, okay?
04:30You seem okay now.
04:32Yeah, I am.
04:33Um, and about what happened last week, me screaming at you, well, I get that way sometimes when it's that
04:39time of the, you know, and I'm sorry.
04:43Okay, so, we're cool?
04:46We're cool.
04:48Cool.
04:49All right, you better head off.
04:55Um, well, living town is one thing, but selling the caravan park.
04:58No, you don't have to.
05:00We're very happy to keep managing it for you.
05:02Well, what's the point?
05:03You know, I'm going to be selling it in the long run, so I may as well do it now.
05:06And that way I'll have the money to invest it in the city.
05:09So, what does Irene have to say about all this?
05:11She's not really happy about it, and she's tried to make me change her mind, so I'd appreciate if you
05:16didn't do the same thing.
05:19Well, uh, we'll be sorry to see you go, but, um, there's really no way we can afford to buy
05:22the park off here.
05:23No, we're already mortgaged to the hilt.
05:26Oh, that's okay.
05:27That's all right.
05:28I just thought I'd ask anyway.
05:30So, you're going today?
05:32Straight after the pageant.
05:34Um, if I don't get the chance to see you later, also, I just want to say thank you for
05:39everything.
05:41But I'd better go.
05:43Well, good luck.
05:47You'll have to bring Pippa to come and see me.
05:48Yes, of course we will.
05:51See you later.
05:55I think I'll find Irene.
05:59I think we should take the wheel out.
06:01Or paint a fish over it.
06:02What's going on?
06:04Banner malfunction.
06:05Who wants it drinking?
06:06I'll have one out.
06:07Yes, please.
06:08Does that just mean you've sorted out your problem?
06:11Yeah, I, um, I reckon it does.
06:13That is how it's got to go, we should.
06:17Ready for the briefing?
06:18I guess I've got no choice.
06:19Well, I told you that you could stay here.
06:21I said I'm coming.
06:25All right, everyone.
06:28Now, you all know where you need to be, okay?
06:30Yeah?
06:30Good.
06:31First sign of anything suspicious, I want you on your radios.
06:34I don't care if it's a false alarm, all right?
06:37But remember, do it subtly, okay?
06:39Far as everyone else is concerned, you're just there to watch the pageants.
06:42I don't want to see any weapons or any radios, okay?
06:45We do not want the public to know that the stalker is still out there.
06:50Any questions?
06:53Good.
06:54Let's go get this guy.
07:00I don't know exactly what you're going to tell me.
07:04What's to tell?
07:05It's not, there's anything keeping me here.
07:07Really?
07:08Nothing at all.
07:09Oh, there you are, Pip.
07:10Come on, we've got to get your hair done.
07:11Come on.
07:20Hey, we should try and get someone else backstage.
07:24Well, I didn't think it would get you.
07:26Sorry?
07:27Oh, look, this, uh, misprimey spirit, you can just feel it in the air, can't you?
07:30Oh.
07:32Sorry, uh, Claire, this is my fiancée, Leah.
07:33Claire's an old colleague.
07:34Hi.
07:35Pleased to meet you.
07:36You too.
07:36Oh, we just had a day off, so I thought I'd show Claire the sights.
07:39No.
07:39All right.
07:40Oh, look, I don't mean to be rude, but we've got to need to all the answers.
07:42Oh, yeah, fair enough.
07:43All right, well, I'll catch you guys later.
07:44See you.
07:46Bryce, can you cover the backstage area?
07:50All right, everybody, I'm set to go.
07:54Not bad, I guess.
07:55It'll have to be, we've run out of time.
07:57We'd better get this to Colleen before she has a fit.
08:00Uh, guys.
08:01Actually, I'm going to stay and clean up.
08:04Um, I'll give you a hand.
08:06Thanks.
08:07See ya.
08:07Bye.
08:08Hey.
08:09Finn's over there.
08:11Careful, I will get you back.
08:13Goodie, I look forward to it.
08:15Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and ball.
08:17Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
08:21Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
08:24And if that mockingbird don't sing,
08:27Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
08:32And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
08:36Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass.
08:39And if that mockingbird gets broke,
08:44Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat.
08:48And if that billy goat don't pull,
08:52Daddy's gonna buy you a cotton ball.
09:02Daddy's gonna buy you a cotton ball.
09:03Um, I really should be getting down to the beach.
09:11And if that billy goat don't pull,
09:15Daddy's gonna buy you a cotton ball.
09:18If that cart and bull turn over, Daddy's gonna buy you a dog main rover.
09:26If that dog don't bark, Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
09:32If that horse and cart fall down, you'll still be the bestest baby in town.
09:46There you are. What are you doing down there? The other girls are getting ready.
09:53Hurry. We've got a pageant to win.
09:57Coming.
10:08Testing, testing, testing. One, two.
10:11Good day for it. Yeah, it is.
10:12Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a beautiful day here at Summer Bay.
10:16Just to let you know, the pageant will be starting in just a couple of hours' time.
10:20So make sure you grab your seats for that.
10:21But for now, please enjoy the carnival atmosphere we have here.
10:25We've got some great tarot card readings over here.
10:27Excuse me.
10:28It's very possible, whatever you'd like to grab from you.
10:30Just once again, be back here. Just over an hour's time.
10:34Excuse me.
10:40Damn!
10:47Excuse me.
10:49Excuse me.
10:51Let go of me.
10:53Sorry, I thought you were someone else.
11:05Hey, what was that all about?
11:08I thought it was her.
11:09I thought I had it.
11:10Had it who?
11:16Hey, what's going on?
11:17Look, I know that Claire is here for a reason, and I've seen all the other undercover cops around, so...
11:21Who are you looking for?
11:22We're all wrong about Mark, okay?
11:24He wasn't the stalker.
11:26Hang on, I don't get it.
11:27After the autopsy results came in, we realised that the timeline didn't work, okay?
11:30Mark couldn't have set the bomb before he died, which means someone was framing it.
11:34And then we get this letter that arrives, and it's...
11:37The stalker taunting us that they were still out there.
11:39Joking, are you?
11:40No.
11:41And then we get this email this morning from the stalker saying that they were going to be here today.
11:45What?
11:45What?
11:45Why haven't you said anything?
11:46Well, look, it wasn't my idea to go ahead with this, Dan, okay?
11:48Claire's calling the shots.
11:50Okay, all right.
11:50Just this girl that you saw before, who was that?
11:52It doesn't matter.
11:53What are you doing in here?
11:55We can't start without the MC.
11:57All right, okay.
11:58We'll talk about this later, okay?
12:13Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the biggest date on the calendar, the one and only Miss Groper pageant.
12:23The young ladies you're about to meet today will be judged in four categories.
12:27They are cooking, special talent, swimwear, and evening gowns, with the overall winner earning the prestigious title of Miss Groper
12:342005.
12:40Before we start, let's spare a thought for our judges today.
12:43First of all, we have Mr Alf Stewart.
12:46The beautiful Miss Beth Hunter.
12:49And Summer Bay High's very own principal and my boss, so please keep it loud, Mr Barry Hyde.
12:57Okay, well, let's not keep the ladies waiting any longer.
12:59Would you please welcome on stage our first contestant, Miss Cassie Turner.
13:09So, Cassie, if you could tell us about your creation.
13:14This is more than just a dessert.
13:16It's a work of art.
13:17The recipe's been in the family for generations.
13:20The ingredients are all hand-picked from the district, and...
13:29It is a true Australian classic.
13:32The Pavlova.
13:34Well, I don't know much about art, but I do know what I like.
13:37Well, let's see how we go with the judges' taste test, please.
13:50Well, I can't decide between the Pav and the lemon meringue pie.
13:54I'm very partial to the strawberry shortcake.
13:59Hey, Irene.
14:01I'm glad I'm not judging all that deliciously fattening food.
14:04Hmm, and Beth and Barry don't seem to be having a problem with it, do they?
14:10And now for the special talent section.
14:12First up, we have Tasha Andrews with her poem called Summer Bay.
14:16Tasha.
14:26I wake up in the morning to the sound of waves calling,
14:29and I look up my window to see a new day dawning.
14:33Out on the beach, Jessie is jogging
14:36and on some mornings you'll find Mr Stewart throwing in a line.
14:40While in the diner, the coffee is brewing
14:43and at the school, Mr Hyde is getting ready to give us the drilling.
14:49With its crystal clear waters and natural beauty,
14:53it's still the people that make this town so important.
15:00It's a place where people take time to listen.
15:02No, that's how I look at the tent.
15:03Whether you're in the diner or spend time on the beach
15:07and you always know that there's a friendly hand within reach.
15:11It may only be a tiny dot on the map,
15:13but once you've been to Summer Bay, you'll always come back.
15:19Thank you very much, Tasha.
15:26Very beautiful.
15:29Let's see your granddaughter beat that.
15:34Okay, before I invite the girls back on stage
15:37for the Evening Gown Parade,
15:38I'd like you all to help me thank the sponsors for today's event.
15:41First of all, the very sexy ladies of the Beachside Diner
15:46and also the Yabby Creek Donut Company.
15:49And if there is anyone who'd like to try some donuts,
15:52Robbie over here has some free sample bags,
15:54so go if you like.
15:56Oh, and remember, this final round is worth triple points,
15:59so at this point anyone can still win.
16:01Anyway, here we go with the Evening Gown.
16:03Take it away, ladies.
16:06First up, we have Matilda Hunter with a beautiful red dress
16:09set off by a lovely black shawl.
16:17And thank you, Linda, a beautiful blue number.
16:21Next up, we have Tasha Andrews in a beautiful pink beater dress.
16:25Ladies, I'm sure you'll love this one.
16:27Pink is the new black this season.
16:32Thank you, Tasha.
16:33And keep that applause going.
16:34Next, we have Cassie Turner,
16:36a beautiful green outfit.
16:37Can we call that aqua?
16:38No, we'll call that green.
16:39Beautiful green.
16:40Thank you, Cassie.
16:41Suzanne Johnson's up next in a beautiful dark green outfit.
16:45They found a bag behind the stage.
16:46Thank you very much, Suzanne.
16:47And Cindy Lee, beautiful baby blue.
16:51Well, I don't envy the judges' position one bit.
16:54They look absolutely beautiful, don't they, ladies and gentlemen?
16:57We asked the girls about it, but nobody knows who owns it.
17:00Peter?
17:01No!
17:02No!
17:03No!
17:06No!
17:06No!
17:08No!
17:09No!
17:09No!
17:18Look, you should not have opened the bag, okay?
17:21Who knows what could have been...
17:21Look, I knew what I was doing, okay?
17:22Can we just deal with the real issue here?
17:24The stalker was there and we missed her.
17:26Her?
17:26Do you mean Sarah Lewis?
17:31Peter, I think you need to take some time off, okay?
17:33Get your head together.
17:34That's just what you want, isn't it?
17:35Well, I'm sorry, but I've been on this case since the very beginning
17:37and I will be there at the end.
17:38Peter, this is not about me stealing your thunder.
17:41It's about you putting yourself in danger, okay?
17:45You're taking this way too personally.
17:48I lost three months of my life because of Sarah Lewis, okay?
17:51Noah Lawson was killed.
17:52You're damn right I'm making it personal.
18:03Have I decided on a winner yet?
18:05No, not yet, but I'm sure you'll be the first to know.
18:06Can you at least tell me who's the favourite?
18:08No, you stay away from the door, please.
18:18Interesting poem.
18:20Yeah, I wrote it just before I decided to go.
18:23How can you leave if you feel that strongly about the place?
18:27Easy, I'll just jump into Josie's car and away we'll go.
18:32No, we're leaving just after they made a decision.
18:34Right.
18:35So you're going to leave without saying goodbye.
18:38I thought we were worth more than that.
18:40Yeah, so did I until I heard what you said to those girls.
18:43How many times do I have to say it?
18:46I'm sorry, I was wrong.
18:49And why did you make it worse by going out with Sam?
18:52You know I was only trying to make you jealous.
18:54Nothing happened and it's over anyway.
18:57Why am I even bothering?
19:00Maybe it's a good thing you're going.
19:01If you can throw away everything we had over a silly mistake.
19:06And I mustn't have meant as much to you as you did to me.
19:10Have fun in the city, Tasha.
19:15To stay.
