00:01I think you're doing a really good job.
00:04Seriously?
00:05Yeah.
00:06Summer, I love you so much.
00:08And Rex, I love you too.
00:15Oh, that's disgusting!
00:17Is that it enough?
00:18But that's not fair, he's the one who ate the onion!
00:20You should put the chilli in here!
00:21Major chances to put this production ahead of your own personal squabbles,
00:24but no, you chose not to. I'm sorry, but you're both fired!
00:30Why should you care? I'm no longer a part of your life, remember?
00:33Well, thanks for your concern, but I can take care of myself.
01:00Where you are.
01:02You're my guiding star.
01:05You're my guiding star.
01:07Hold me in your arms.
01:09Don't let me go.
01:11I want to stay forever.
01:15Closer each day.
01:18Home and away.
01:43How's the play going?
01:44Oh, it's hard on the nerves, I can tell you.
01:46No wonder so many writers turn to drink.
01:49Of all times for Leah to take off to Cyprus.
01:51I think her grandfather sounds pretty sick.
01:53Yeah, I know, but where am I going to find another assistant at such short notice?
01:59Well, I could help out.
02:00Oh, Pet, would you?
02:01Only for a couple of hours.
02:03Oh, no, that'd be wonderful.
02:04You come with me.
02:05I've got just the job for you.
02:07Yeah.
02:08You wouldn't believe the amount of midnight oil I've had to burn.
02:11Do you think I could claim it on tax?
02:13Midnight oil?
02:14The electricity.
02:15Oh, I don't know.
02:16Maybe.
02:17Hayley?
02:18Colleen, call an ambulance.
02:20Hey, it's okay.
02:21Is it?
02:21No, don't try and talk.
02:22No, we're going to get you to the hospital.
02:24Yes, we need an ambulance.
02:26Will you be okay?
02:28Is everything okay with the baby?
02:29Well, Philippe hasn't been able to tell me anything, but apparently it's been triggered
02:32by stress.
02:33I don't understand.
02:34When we left the house this morning, everything was fine.
02:36I knew something like this was going to happen.
02:38I knew it.
02:38It's nobody's fault, Irene.
02:40Yeah, but we knew she had this condition, Sally.
02:43We should have been looking out for her.
02:47She's definitely an SVT.
02:49I'll send off the bloods.
02:50Where's the cardiologist?
02:51She'll need an echo.
02:52What's happening?
02:53Hey, you're in hospital.
02:55We're looking after you, okay?
02:56Look, the baby.
02:57The baby's fine.
02:59But we're going to get your obstetrician in here to have a look, just to be sure.
03:02Okay?
03:03Can you make sure those bloods are urgent?
03:04Okay.
03:09Knocker Sims.
03:10Now, there was a player, mate.
03:11I tell you what, he had a boot on him like a rocket launcher.
03:14He once kicked a field goal from his 22.
03:16What do you have, Cyclone Tracy behind him?
03:18Not exactly, but mate, I reckon it's in the local gene field, eh?
03:22We used to produce top footballers around the bay all the time.
03:25It's an absolute tragedy we haven't had a team in the last couple of years.
03:28Still, we'll fix that fairly smartly, won't we?
03:30Yep.
03:31Well, one step at a time, Alf.
03:32I mean, first we'll get the players sorted out, and then the gear, and then we'll register
03:34for the comp.
03:35Well, don't you worry about the gear, mate.
03:36I'll have a sponsor in no time flat.
03:38And as far as the comp goes, it doesn't matter which one we enter, we are going to win.
03:41And winners can laugh and losers can please themselves.
03:44Mate, you ought to take up motivation speaking, you know.
03:48Excuse me a bit, will you?
03:49Yeah, no worries.
03:52Ah, just the bloke I wanted to see.
03:54What's this?
03:55This, my friend, is a family heirloom.
03:58Right.
03:59These are yours.
04:01Well, they were.
04:01I thought you might like to have a run.
04:04Um, thanks, but sticking my head between bloke's legs and grunting is not really my sort of thing.
04:10Mate, there's a lot more to the game than that.
04:13Yeah, look, it's just, it's not me, Grandis.
04:15Hey, this is the game they play in heaven.
04:16I don't know, I thought that was women's beach volleyball.
04:19That'd be right.
04:22Well, I, uh, might have been wrong about the gene pool.
04:26Yeah, my young bloke's not that eager either.
04:29Oh, well, no use worrying about it, mate.
04:31We'll just get out there and find some new talent, eh?
04:33Exactly.
04:34All right, everybody, quick sticks.
04:36We're going to kick off with a read through.
04:38Uh, that's a theatre term.
04:40So we can sort out the weeds from the chaff.
04:42Sorry, I'm late.
04:43Uh, grab a script.
04:44Oh, I don't want to walk.
04:46I just want to help out with the scenery.
04:48Oh, well, sit over there at the props table, then.
04:50And don't make a noise to distract the performances of the thespians.
04:54Are you sure you want to do this today, Mrs Smart?
04:56Yes, I do.
04:57I was just thinking about poor Hayley again, but I'm sure she's in good hands.
05:03Oh, how is she?
05:05Was it a heart attack?
05:06No, no.
05:06She's having serious cardiac arrhythmia, isn't it?
05:08It's probably brought on by anxiety, but it's made worse by her condition.
05:12Basically, her heart is beating so fast with such irregularity that it actually feels like it's coming out through her
05:18chest.
05:18Okay, was everything okay with the baby?
05:20Uh, she has had an ultrasound, but, um, we can't be sure in the collapse that the oxygen wasn't cut
05:25off to the baby.
05:26Oh, God.
05:27Yeah, and what about Hayley?
05:28Will she be all right?
05:29I'm afraid it's not looking good.
05:31Um, the echocardiogram says that her valve is failing and there's pretty tremendous pressure on her heart.
05:36And with the abnormal rhythms, if we don't do something about it, it could be life-threatening.
05:43She's gonna have to have that operation, isn't she?
05:46Well, what about the baby?
05:46When last time you said you couldn't operate unless she agreed to terminate the pregnancy.
05:49Well, this is the tricky bit.
05:51Because now she's so far down the track, we can't terminate.
05:55She wouldn't let you anyway, love, you know that.
05:56And unfortunately, the baby will be so small that we just can't guarantee it's survival.
06:01Okay, so what are you suggesting?
06:02Well, it's a conversation I really should be having with Hayley.
06:04Um, come in with me now, because she's gonna need your support.
06:13Excellent, you're trying out.
06:14No, no, no, I'm just the water boy.
06:16Oh, that's a shame.
06:17Isn't it some kind of family tradition?
06:20Oh, I don't really care.
06:21I'm not exactly the rugby type, am I?
06:23They're either a seven-foot lurch or they're built like a brick dunny with a neck wider than their head.
06:28No, thank you.
06:29Hey there.
06:30Hey!
06:31Hey, Rick.
06:32Arden.
06:32Glad to see you could make it.
06:33Me?
06:34I wouldn't miss it for the world.
06:35I told you what a footy freak I am.
06:36I know, I know.
06:37Anyway, I better get warmed up, so I'll catch yous later.
06:39Okay.
06:40Round this way, mate.
06:41Catch them up.
06:44So what do you reckon he is then?
06:45A seven-foot lurch or a brick dunny?
06:52No, I'm not having the operation.
06:54I don't want to put my baby at risk.
06:55But you are putting your baby at risk, Hayley.
06:57If you have another collapse and the baby goes without oxygen again, it could do irreparable
07:01damage to its brain.
07:03Well, what if she has the operation, though?
07:05I mean, how do the risks compare then?
07:07Oh, there's still huge risks.
07:08I mean, there's major bleeding, high temperatures, possible premature...
07:11In other words, both options are as bad as each other.
07:13For the baby, yes.
07:15But we've got to think about you now, Hayley.
07:18All I want is what's best for my child.
07:20And if the operation has definite possibilities of risking my baby, then I won't do it.
07:23But there must be something else you can do.
07:26You're saying that either way, there's risks to the baby at the moment?
07:31Yes.
07:31Well, what if she has the baby, a cesarean?
07:35I've had a lengthy discussion with the obstetrician and the neonatal team, and if she has the baby
07:40this prematurely, there's still no guarantee it will survive.
07:42But it's a third option, right?
07:44And then she could have the operation?
07:46She would have the cesarean and the heart surgery at the same time.
07:51But you need to speak to the obstetrician.
07:53I want to see my ultrasound pictures.
07:56All right.
07:57Yeah, I'll take a look at them and then I'll decide.
07:59Okay.
08:07It's so tiny.
08:09But it's alive.
08:10Yeah, but there are so many things that could be wrong with it if it's born now.
08:15Cerebral palsy, respiratory distress.
08:19Hayley, you know I want this baby, don't you?
08:23Yes.
08:23But I also care about you more than anything.
08:27And chances are, if you do nothing, I'm going to lose you.
08:31And the way I see it, if you have the heart operation and the cesarean, you'll make it.
08:36And there's a possibility the baby will too.
08:39Yeah, but only a possibility.
08:43If our baby's born and there are problems, could you handle it?
08:48I guess, yeah.
08:50Yeah, but we can't guess.
08:52If we take this gamble, we have to be prepared for anything.
08:58Hayley, love, um, you know that we'd all be there for you, don't you?
09:08Uh, Kim, maybe we should give her a little bit of time to herself, eh?
09:12Yeah.
09:15Look, whatever you decide, I'll support you.
09:18But you know how I feel, okay?
09:27How about I grab us both a cuppa, eh?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Might make some calls while I'm at it.
09:31I promised people I'd let them know what's going on.
09:35How's this seat tugging?
09:37Oh, sorry, mate.
09:38Here you go.
09:43Is that your girlfriend in there?
09:44Yeah, and my baby.
09:47Yeah.
09:52No, no, no, no.
09:54I don't care what your criminally inclined father says.
09:57I am not leaving town on the 615 bus for Mangrove River.
10:02That's how Rex would say it, Kenny.
10:05Are you for real?
10:06I beg your pardon?
10:09Mrs Chang has been teaching us theatre of the absurd.
10:12It gives a whole new meaning to the word.
10:14Um, excuse me.
10:15What is it?
10:17I was just thinking, maybe you could just use your story,
10:20which is great, as a sort of template
10:23and let the actors improvise the dialogue.
10:26Let them make it up as they go along.
10:28That is absurd.
10:29A lot of famous directors do it that way.
10:31Well, not in my theatre company.
10:32You stick to your props.
10:34And you lot, concentrate.
10:47Come on.
10:48Inside, inside, inside.
10:50Back, back, back, back, back.
10:56All right, boys, bring it in.
10:59Run over and get a drink and then run back here.
11:01Quick as you can, boys.
11:02Come on.
11:03Hey, great try.
11:04Thanks.
11:08All right, fellas.
11:09Well, you'll be pleased to know that Mr Stewart and myself
11:11are both mighty impressed with what we saw today.
11:13I mean, you're not quite ready to take on the All Blacks, obviously,
11:15but you will be soon.
11:16Now, for those of you who are interested,
11:17we're going to be down at the club in about half an hour,
11:19and we're going to sign you up then.
11:20And the juice is on me, boys.
11:22There you go.
11:23Righto, fellas.
11:24You can wrap it up, get changed,
11:25and see you down at the surf club in half an hour.
11:28Good on you.
11:29Cheers.
11:29Hey, um, Grandad,
11:31is there any chance you need another player?
11:33You?
11:35Well, an hour ago, you wouldn't have a bar of it.
11:39I changed my mind.
11:40What brought this on?
11:41Nothing.
11:43Hmm.
11:44Well, you're righto,
11:45but you didn't try out with the other fellas,
11:47so you'll have to take it as it comes.
11:48Yeah, no worries.
11:49Be plenty of hard yakka, I'll make sure of that.
11:51But you will get something out of it.
11:54Yeah, I'm sure I will.
12:05How are you feeling?
12:07I keep hoping the answer will become clear, but...
12:11I'm sorry, I know this isn't easy for you either.
12:13Do you mind if I brought a couple of visitors in?
12:16Oh, no, I don't really feel like seeing people.
12:18No, you don't know them.
12:19It's just a really nice couple I've got chatting to outside.
12:21Trust me on this, okay?
12:25Mark and Anna, this is Hayley.
12:27Hi.
12:28Hello.
12:29Anna was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago.
12:31Same bed that you're in right now, actually.
12:32I was pregnant too, almost seven months.
12:36The baby's fine.
12:37She's a little girl, Emily.
12:39Most beautiful little girl I've ever seen in your life.
12:42Anna had a caesarean too.
12:44Oh, I was totally hysterical when they brought me in.
12:47Absolutely convinced I was going to lose her.
12:49And I probably would have if it hadn't been for the staff here.
12:52They were fantastic, despite me cursing and yelling at them.
12:57She was so tiny.
12:59She was like a little doll.
13:02Yeah.
13:04Now she's putting on weight.
13:05She's feeding properly.
13:07Soon she'll be out of the special care nursery.
13:10When they told me, I just thought you should hear it too.
13:14I look down at her inner crib.
13:17I touch a tiny hand and I'm just so grateful we're both here.
13:23I'm so, so grateful.
13:32Let's go to the city, Rex.
13:35Let's get a baijo.
13:36Bijou.
13:37Bijou.
13:39Bijou flat.
13:40And I can pursue my dream of becoming a chiropodist.
13:46Clever, isn't it?
13:47The only memory that Summer has of her poor, dear departed mother
13:50who always wore a black veil, is of her feet.
13:53It's become an obsession with her.
13:55Is that why she kisses Rex's feet in the last act?
13:57Exactly.
13:58Won't the audience think that's weird?
14:01I mean, if you never explain Summer's motivation.
14:03Well, it's called dramatic irony.
14:07Maybe you could show it.
14:09I know.
14:10See the mother flying across the stage as a ghostly present.
14:14Yeah, imperfect.
14:15I'm not changing my script because some props person
14:18doesn't understand motivation.
14:20But I don't get it either.
14:21And I'm not in props.
14:22Well, maybe you should be.
14:24Thank you, Mandy.
14:25Who else would like to read the part of Summer?
14:28Oh, thank you, Matilda.
14:29We'll need a Rex.
14:30Yeah, I'll read again.
14:31No.
14:33No, you.
14:34You.
14:34You can do it.
14:35Me?
14:36Seeing as you know so much about acting.
14:38I never said I know about acting.
14:39Well, now's your time to learn.
14:41Swap places.
14:42Kenny, you go up there.
14:43You come down here.
14:43Right, everybody.
14:45Five minutes.
14:46Act one, scene two.
14:48And then we'll see the young Sir Laurence Olivier in action.
14:57Are you sure you've had enough time to think it through?
15:00Yeah.
15:00Because we can give you more time.
15:02No, I've made up my mind.
15:03I'm going to have the cesarean and the operation.
15:05Oh, love.
15:06And you fully understand the risks?
15:08Yeah, we've talked it through and there's a chance we have to take.
15:11How soon can it happen?
15:13We can start planning.
15:14You'll need a few tests before the operation.
15:16But, um, I can set things in motion.
15:19You're doing the right thing here, darling.
15:21Yeah, but there are no guarantees, are there?
15:24No, I just, I want to be this so much watching my child grow up and...
15:28Well, if this is the only way of doing that, then...
15:31Well, I reckon it is.
15:39Well, I'm going to go and collect Pippa, or I'll make sure I come back when you wake up.
15:42Okay.
15:43Um, love, would you mind giving Beth and Tash a ring?
15:45I told them I'd keep them up to date.
15:47Yeah.
15:47Oh, and thanks for today, if you hadn't come when you did.
15:49Well, look, you're going to be okay now.
15:51That's the main thing.
15:52See you later.
15:52See you, love.
15:53Is there anything you need?
15:55Uh, yeah, actually, could you please phone Will?
15:58Sure.
15:59I don't want to freak him out or anything, but...
16:01No, I'll just tell him what's happening.
16:02Mm-hmm.
16:05Um...
16:05Right.
16:06And could you please do me a favour?
16:08Could you please get me a pen and paper?
16:10What for?
16:12Well, I just want to write a few things down, just in case.
16:15Listen, girly, you are going to be fine.
16:17Don't you dare go think and you won't be.
16:18There are just some things I need people to know that's all, please.
16:23All right.
16:27You need me, Rex, like the flowers need the sun and the rain.
16:30You're wrong.
16:31I don't need you.
16:32I'm a free spirit.
16:34I'm like a bird.
16:35I'm like a bird.
16:35A bird that soars over the mountains.
16:37Then let me fly with you.
16:38Take me to the snow-capped peaks of life and across the oceans of love.
16:41I'm sorry, Summer, but I fly alone.
16:43You can come see me Saturdays, though, if you like.
16:46I think I've had an epiphany.
16:49That's exactly how I want Rex played.
16:52Like the young Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire.
16:56Well done, young man.
16:57You've certainly been hiding your life under a bushel.
17:00The party's yours.
17:02But I'm the candidates.
17:03And you're a perfect Summer, yes.
17:04You two will be my Tracy and Hepburn, my Bogie and Bacall,
17:08my Kenneth Branagh and...
17:10And what's her name?
17:12All right, everybody.
17:13I want you all back here at 3pm sharp for rehearsals.
17:17We've got to get this show on the road!
17:24So you come here to watch the game, innit?
17:26Yeah, absolutely.
17:27I'd love to.
17:28Oh, I forgot to tell you, mate.
17:34The Stewart family legend lives on.
17:36Oh, excellent, mate.
17:37What position do you fancy?
17:40Um...
17:41Striker.
17:42Don't worry, mate.
17:43I'll sort him out.
17:44Rick.
17:46Glad to see you joining her.
17:47Well, I can't let you have all the fun.
17:49Yeah, right.
17:51Okay, man.
17:53I was just talking to Cassie, eh?
17:55Yeah, I saw.
17:57Yeah, she's a top chick.
17:59She's okay?
18:02Listen, mate, I'm...
18:03The thing I was...
18:04I was gonna ask her out.
18:06But, you know, I wanted to check with you first.
18:08Make sure you were cool with it.
18:09Why is that?
18:11Well...
18:12In case you wanted to get back together with her.
18:15Because that's one thing I'll never do, mate.
18:16That's staying in another guy's territory.
18:18So...
18:19Whatever's cool.
18:21Yeah.
18:23Yeah.
18:24Josh, wait.
18:24I'll reach out anyway.
18:27Thanks, mate.
18:28I will.
18:36Oh, good day, Sel.
18:38No, I haven't sent any messages.
18:39I've been a bit busy.
18:40What's up?
18:40Nice.
18:56What, were you?
19:05I love you.
19:11Will and Gypsy, you both seen their love?
19:13Yeah, thanks for doing that.
19:16Told them we'd come up and visit soon.
19:18You, me and our baby on the road to Queensland.
19:21How's that sound?
19:27Listen, Hayley, I know you're scared. I am too.
19:31But you want to know why? I think it's all going to work out okay.
19:34Just look at what we've been through.
19:36All the problems we've overcome.
19:39It just doesn't seem right for it to be taken away now.
19:46They're just about ready for you an x-ray and then they're going to take you through the theatre.
19:50Is there anything you want to ask me?
19:51No, I'm coming.
19:52Okay.
19:53You've got a very good team. You're in very experienced hands.
19:56Julie, I'm going to give you a pre-med. I will see you in recovery.
20:00Okay.
20:01Just a few minutes.
20:06I'm doing the right thing, aren't I?
20:08No, sweetheart.
20:10It's the best and bravest decision you ever made.
20:37It won't be long now.
20:38Um, love, do you want us to get out of your hair?
20:41No, you're fine.
20:42Hayley, I'm just going to give you something to help settle you down.
20:45Hayley, you okay?
20:47You okay, Hayley? What's going on?
20:49Could you do something?
