00:02You know, the two of you can stay here tomorrow and clean this place up from top to bottom.
00:05And you better do it properly, otherwise you can spend the whole next day doing it as well.
00:08Maybe next time you'll think twice about ignoring us.
00:11I just wanted him to like me.
00:13He's the one with the problem, not you, okay?
00:16And if he's not gay, then there is seriously something else going on there.
00:35What do you think?
00:38That was great, Tash.
00:39Yeah, straight to the point.
00:42I can't believe you guys have been so cool about this.
00:44Oh, just because we're not kicking and screaming doesn't mean we're cool about it.
00:47I just think you really have to be aware of the reality going into this.
00:51Do you think that we're wasting our time?
00:52No, you know, what I think you're doing is admirable, but it's an uphill battle,
00:56especially considering you're going to get your settlement check today.
00:58Oh, I don't care about the money.
01:01We're not giving up.
01:02Me, Mac and Rob, we're going to think of something.
01:04Actually, we could use all the help we can get.
01:06Sure, can we see?
01:07Yeah, but hey, yeah, not so fast.
01:10Are you forgetting something?
01:11Um, Sal, I know you think we deserve to be punished for sneaking out the other night,
01:16but this would be like community service.
01:17It's a nice try.
01:18The punishment still stands.
01:20Here, um, you list things to do.
01:26Oh, and you.
01:33Sorry, Tash, looks like you're on your own.
01:37Well, no one can accuse you of being a pushover.
01:39Well, if I actually thought they could do something to stop the resort, it might be different.
01:43Do you want to go for a stroll, for old time's sake?
01:46No, I don't think I could bear it.
01:48Are you sure you want to be here for the handover?
01:50You don't have to.
01:50No, no, no, I'll be home.
01:51The banking won't take long.
01:54What's this?
01:56Diesel's textbook.
01:57He left it here yesterday.
01:58I should drop it around to him on the way to the bank.
02:10Well, thank you.
02:30Sally Fletcher from the school.
02:32I was just wondering if Diesel was at home.
02:34I'm sorry, dear, who?
02:35Diesel Williams.
02:37Oh, I think you must have the wrong address.
02:40There's nobody here by that name.
02:41Oh, okay, well, I'm sorry to bother you.
02:50I'm here to see Tash.
02:56How did you know I was here?
02:58Process of elimination.
03:01But I didn't come empty-handed.
03:04You might be able to buy, Kim, but you can't buy me.
03:10Look, I know I wasn't exactly up front
03:12about the sale of the caravan park.
03:15And I am sorry if I misled you.
03:17You lied to me.
03:18But what's done is done.
03:19So why don't we just look to the future?
03:21This check says that you've got a really bright one.
03:23I don't care about the money.
03:24You know how I feel.
03:25And you know how I feel.
03:27This resort is going to be great for the bay.
03:28And if you're too immature to see that, then what can I do?
03:38Maybe you could keep this safe somewhere until Tasha grows up a bit.
03:45Typical.
03:45She's in the wrong, so she makes you feel bad.
03:47Yeah, well, you can't let her, okay?
03:49Even if it is a truckload of cash.
03:51Hey, what does your T-shirt actually say?
03:53Oh, well, it says to save at the caravan park.
03:56I just ran out of room at the front.
03:57Uh-huh.
03:58I'm called there.
03:59So, have you guys actually come up with any bright ideas yet?
04:02Put it this way.
04:03Who needs Peter Garrett when you have got Alf Stewart?
04:06Well, Grandad and Aunty Morag have gone down to the council.
04:08They're giving it one last shot to change their minds.
04:11Really?
04:11I wouldn't hold your breath.
04:13Oh, what happened?
04:15Someone lost their temper.
04:16Well, we're supposed to be living in a flaming democracy.
04:19Suffice it to say, Council Green listened to our objections, but he'd already made up his mind.
04:23So, they support the resort?
04:25It seems that Brett McClendon has dazzled council members with promises of high employment and a boost in the economy.
04:32What about the environment?
04:33Yeah, and all the problems the casino's gonna bring.
04:35Like, don't they care anymore?
04:37Well, if I were a betting woman, I'd say Councilor Green was a betting man.
04:41Well, we'll just have to think of another way to stop them.
04:43And fast. Construction starts tomorrow.
04:45Tomorrow?
04:46Um, well, that's after they've cleared the vans away and started lopping the trees today.
04:51Well, that's not gonna give us much time, is it?
04:53I think that's kind of the point, love.
04:55Um, oh, excuse me.
04:57And he calls himself Councilor Green.
04:59You reckon George Bush just came for a single tree in his life?
05:02Hmm, if only.
05:03I can't believe Josie actually thought she could distract me with money.
05:07Yes, I already know that, but we are running out of time.
05:10All ideas of putting Alicia around Josie Russell have failed.
05:13I need to know what went on in 1989, and I need to know it now.
05:21Hey, Cass, do you know how to do this?
05:23What's that?
05:25Change the baggy thing.
05:29It's an intelligence test, but I'm sure you'll pass.
05:32Okay, that's fine.
05:33If you're gonna be like that, I'll just pull it out.
05:36No!
05:37Oh, my...
05:41Good work, Einstein.
05:42Well, why didn't you tell me how to do it?
05:44Well, you know how I said I thought you'd pass?
05:46Yeah, you've got it.
05:48Well, if you're so smart, how come you don't know how to turn off a tap?
05:50Oh, quick!
05:53Damn!
05:54That's great.
05:55That's great, Einstein.
05:58No, don't start what you can't finish.
06:01Let's go.
06:03Run, run.
06:06You've got...
06:08Sabotage!
06:09What?
06:10We find out where the bulldozers are, and, I don't know, take their spark plugs.
06:15Yeah, I couldn't use any bulldozer mechanics.
06:17Okay, well, how about we ring the company, say its head office, and tell them they've got
06:22the week off?
06:23Like, that's gonna work?
06:25At least I'm trying.
06:27Hey, I've just been given all this money.
06:29Maybe there's something that we can do.
06:30Use it.
06:31So that we can stop the resort.
06:33Any more?
06:33I might know what to do.
06:34It's a lot of money, Tash.
06:35Oh, that's good.
06:37Okay, we've just been thinking, I've been given all this money now, so there must be
06:40something that we can do with it to stop the resort?
06:43Um, that's a very generous offer, Tasha.
06:45But, um, well, the only way we can stop it now is to buy back the van.
06:48And when you consider what they went through to get it, it ain't gonna happen.
06:53So, we'll think small, just stopping it for today?
06:56Yeah, and getting some media attention.
07:00Exactly.
07:01What?
07:02I know what will make the media take notice.
07:05Me.
07:06Think about it.
07:08Daughter fights evil property developer father.
07:10Ooh, sounds like a good headline.
07:13Yeah, but how's that gonna help us?
07:14By the time we convince someone to write a story, the park's gonna be gone.
07:19What now?
07:20All we need is a little bit of time for everything to catch on, right?
07:23Well, I know just how to get it.
07:40All right, this is it.
07:42Yep.
07:43Okay, do you want to call the papers and the radio?
07:45And we'll get started.
07:46Hey, are you sure that this is gonna work?
07:48Trust me.
07:49By the time we finish, there won't be anyone this side of Nimbin who supports this resort.
07:54That was weird.
07:55I did, I knocked on the two houses either side as well, but they hadn't heard of diesel either.
07:59I know you have the wrong address.
08:01Oh, sure, you said Jennings Road.
08:11Sally?
08:12Ken?
08:14Uh, this is Trevor Summers.
08:16He's head of Macklin Construction.
08:18Thanks for coming down the menace.
08:19Oh, it's all a bit sudden.
08:20I don't understand why you have to start everything so soon.
08:23Orders from above, but, uh, we're gonna do our best to keep the noise out so that we don't disturb
08:27you at the house.
08:29What are you gonna do with the vans?
08:30Are you gonna get them to charity?
08:31No, they're going straight to the knackery.
08:33You're gonna destroy them?
08:35Just following orders.
08:38Could you give us the run, please?
08:40Sure.
08:44Listen, I know we said we'd both beep you here, but maybe you should go.
08:55Hey, good day for it.
08:57You are only making things worse.
09:00Tell someone who cares.
09:01We're not moving.
09:03If you want to clear everything, that includes us.
09:05Yeah, but you're gonna need this to do it.
09:18Hey, miss.
09:19You okay?
09:21Yeah, I just, um, well, the developers have moved into the caravan park this morning.
09:26It's not easy.
09:27I'm really sorry to hear that.
09:30I, um, I came looking for you this morning.
09:33You left this at my place.
09:36Uh, right, thanks.
09:38Yeah, I went to that address you gave me in Jennings Road.
09:40An elderly lady answered the door.
09:41Wait, wait, wait.
09:42Jennings Road?
09:43Is that what I said?
09:44Oh, I'm such an idiot.
09:46That was my old address back in the city.
09:48And it sounds a bit like the one I'm at now.
09:49Oh, okay.
09:50Yeah.
09:51That poor old lady.
09:52She wouldn't have had a clue who I was, eh?
09:53Uh, no.
09:55Um, listen, if I ever do that again, leave my books at your place, just make sure you give
09:58them to me when you see me at school or something like that.
10:00Okay, well, where do you live then?
10:02Jensen Road.
10:0347 Jensen Road.
10:04You know, when I can find my way home, that is.
10:06Okay, well, I'd better make sure it's changed on the school records as well, just in case
10:10we need to get in contact with your foster family.
10:12All right, thanks.
10:14So you're not hanging out with Matilda today?
10:18Uh, no.
10:19Yeah, look, I know that you're only friends.
10:21Well, not anymore.
10:23Can I ask what happened?
10:24Just a bit of a misunderstanding, I guess.
10:27You all right?
10:28Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
10:30Okay, well, just remember my offer if you ever need to chat or...
10:34Thanks, I know.
10:35Okay, well, I'd better get a move on.
10:37I'll, uh, see you later.
10:44Okay, guys, we're gonna do this by the book.
10:47In case you're wondering, we're throwing the newspaper and radio.
10:50Yeah, probably not the kind of publicity my father wants.
10:52His own daughter against him, but hey, what can you do?
10:55Oh, and I told them Miss Groper was here.
10:59What's fame for if you don't use it?
11:01You do realise that you can be held accountable for every minute that these men waste.
11:05Oh, well, lucky you gave me the cheque this morning, then.
11:10Can't you do something about this?
11:12Hey, uh, how much longer till the media gets here, do you reckon?
11:15How long ago did you call them?
11:17About an hour.
11:18And between us, I'm musty.
11:20Why didn't you go to the toilet before you locked yourself in?
11:22I didn't have to go before.
11:23I didn't really go call them again.
11:25Oh.
11:27Ruth, what did I flame and tell you lot this morning?
11:30Guess you'd turn up sooner or later, Grandad.
11:32Martha, we know you want to make a point, but this is not the way.
11:35Well, you already tried talking to the council and they didn't listen.
11:38You know you can be arrested for trespassing.
11:40Which I don't want to do.
11:42Tasha, please help me out here.
11:44I need you to trust me.
11:45Well, I don't.
11:46I don't trust you at all.
11:53Yes.
11:54Detective Constable Harper, please.
11:56Oh, come on, Josie.
11:57You don't have to go there.
12:03Sally's going to kill us if she walks through that door.
12:06We can just blame it on a burst pipe.
12:09Blame it on a burst pipe, yeah.
12:10I don't think she'll buy it.
12:12Oh, okay.
12:13Let's get to work.
12:14I'll get the mop.
12:19Oh, and don't think I've forgotten.
12:20There is no way I'm cleaning the bathroom.
12:25Did you hear me?
12:28Oh, righto.
12:29Now I'm getting the silent treatment, am I?
12:35Cass.
12:51That's it.
12:57Stop it.
12:59Stop it.
12:59Stop it.
13:05So what are you going to do now?
13:09I don't know.
13:17Are you sure?
13:22Why don't you stop this nonsense and leave before the cops get here?
13:25It's not nonsense.
13:26Oh, do you want to be thrown in the paddy wagon
13:28taken to the police station and charged?
13:30I'm going to need a toilet before then.
13:32Yeah, come on, guys. I think you're mad.
13:33Well, what about the newspapers?
13:34And the radio station. Why haven't they come down to do a story?
13:37Maybe they're a little busy running advertisements for the resort.
13:40What?
13:41This resort means money in their pockets.
13:43You don't think they're going to jeopardise that, do you?
13:45So they're not coming at all?
13:47Right.
13:48Hey, it doesn't matter. We are not going anywhere.
13:51You've got a stubborn streak in you just like your mother.
13:53Ugh. I'm going.
13:57Right-o. Party's over.
14:00Thanks for coming down, Senior Constable.
14:02Okay, you are not bringing those things anywhere near me.
14:04Yet, me neither.
14:05Where are the keys?
14:05Don't even think about it.
14:07Now that you're away.
14:09Now that you're helping...
14:10Don't touch this chain!
14:13Martha!
14:14Right.
14:15Um, Senior Constable, we're very sorry.
14:17She didn't mean to do that.
14:18This one's under arrest for assaulting an officer.
14:20What?
14:21I'm not sorry.
14:22Careful, or you'll go for resisting arrest as well.
14:24Hey, look, come on, mate. Can't we talk about this?
14:27Into the car.
14:41So, does this mean what I think it means?
14:44That depends what you mean.
14:48Are we...together?
14:50Well, I don't know about you, but it feels like we are to me.
15:02What for?
15:04Waiting.
15:05Being patient.
15:06I know it hasn't been easy.
15:10That was worth it for you, Cass.
15:12You too.
15:14Now all I have to do is tell Sal and Flynn.
15:17Why?
15:17I don't think they need to know.
15:19We've got to tell them.
15:21Think about it this way.
15:21If we lie to them again, we're going to be cleaning this house till we're in our 20s.
15:25And besides, this is kind of cool.
15:27I want to start it off the right way.
15:30Okay, fine.
15:31If you want to tell them, though, you do the talking.
15:33No worries.
15:34How hard can it be?
15:35So, you're boyfriend and girlfriend now?
15:38Yeah.
15:39Yeah, and we just thought that we would tell you as soon as possible and make sure that it was
15:44okay.
15:45Yeah.
15:46I mean, I know we weren't together when you let us live here, but...
15:49It's okay, guys.
15:50We're not blind.
15:50We did see this coming.
15:52So, you're okay with this?
15:54No.
15:55Well, if you're happy, then we are happy.
15:58As long as you stick by the ground rules we sat down last week.
16:01Totally.
16:02Yeah, of course.
16:02Yeah, which means not being in each other's rooms when the door is closed.
16:06Yes.
16:06And no lying and no sneaking around.
16:09You stick by those rules and everything should be fine.
16:12Yeah.
16:12Okay.
16:12You just need to be responsible.
16:13Oh, we will.
16:14Yeah, we promise.
16:17Okay, we're just, you know, with the door open.
16:21Yeah, wide open.
16:26Why do I get the feeling we are in for some trouble here?
16:29Because they're teenagers.
16:30Hmm.
16:32Hmm.
16:34Hmm.
17:02I can't believe Josie called the police.
17:04Yeah, it was pretty low.
17:05Just prove it, you know, she really doesn't care about me.
17:08Probably tying away the last of the van's about now.
17:10Yeah, and those beautiful trees.
17:14Oh, hey, did they press charges?
17:16Yeah.
17:17Thanks to Morag's fast talking,
17:18you could try being a little more appreciative.
17:21Well, at least that's something.
17:22Well, that's what I thought too, till I realised
17:24that's exactly what my father would want.
17:26Imagine the bad PR if I was actually charged.
17:28Maybe then we would have got a headline.
17:30I am appreciative, though, anyway.
17:32But that is the reason they let me off.
17:34I know it.
17:35It doesn't matter why they let you off.
17:37The important thing is that they did.
17:39Great, so no matter what we do, we can't win.
17:41Oh, well, trust me.
17:42There are other ways of shifting the balance of power.
17:47Petrus?
17:48Oh, yeah.
17:49I take it you wouldn't have driven all this way
17:50without some good news for me?
17:52What would you say if I told you that in 1989
17:55there was a senior detective who was dismissed
17:57from the police force under a cloud?
17:58Oh, I'd say he was one of a long line, wouldn't you?
18:01Maybe.
18:02But this one was forced out because of his involvement
18:05in the adult entertainment industry.
18:07In particular, one Jacinta Russell.
18:09Oh, please tell me you have a name.
18:12Jim Wallace.
18:14Rumor has it.
18:14He was involved in some sort of cover-up,
18:16but no one could prove anything.
18:18Well, do you have an address?
18:24And where the hell is that?
18:26It's about three hours' drive from here, at the most.
18:29Do you want me to check it out?
18:31No.
18:32I think I'll pay Mr. Jim Wallace a visit myself.
18:34It's time we got out of the truth.
18:42Um, hello?
18:47Uh, Mr. Wallace?
18:52Um, anybody home?
18:56Who wants to know?
18:59Um, yeah, my name is Morag Bellingham.
19:02You are Jim Wallace, I take it?
19:05Depends.
19:06Uh, Mr. Wallace, I haven't come here to cause you any harm.
19:09I just need some information on Josie Russell.
19:13I don't know her.
19:14Really?
19:16Well, I have it on good authority that you do.
19:19Um, as I understand it, you crossed paths in the late 80s.
19:23Like I said, I can't help you.
19:25Ah, well, then you wouldn't be interested in the trouble
19:27that she's causing a lot of innocent people.
19:29Or the power that she has.
19:31The, um, influential friends.
19:34The money.
19:35Yeah, it doesn't seem quite fair, really, does it?
19:40She hasn't changed much by the sounds of it.
19:44Oh, so you did know her then.
19:46Quite well, in fact.
19:48As well as any bloke can know a woman.
19:52I loved her.
19:55I thought she loved me.
19:57Um, no, she hasn't changed.
20:00As a matter of fact, she's right in the middle of something
20:03which, if I don't stop, a whole town could be hurt.
20:06So any information at all about her past?
20:10You're not a cop.
20:13Um, no.
20:14No, far from it.
20:16I suppose it doesn't matter anyway.
20:19What's done is done.
20:22I happen to know that she is hiding something.
20:25Something that happened in 1989.
20:28Well, you'd hide something too, wouldn't you?
20:31If you were a murderer.
20:36She wasn't the Summer Bay stalker,
