00:01The loser of this game has to do a nudie run.
00:04You just don't know when to give up, do you?
00:06Are you up for it?
00:07More to the point, is the general public up for the rude shock of seeing your naked butt?
00:12Do we have a deal or don't?
00:14Sure, as long as you're up for the embarrassment.
00:16Go, Martha!
00:18Strike me, run!
00:19How's the fish going, grandad?
00:21Put some clothes on, girl! What are you thinking?
00:24Why don't you just not worry about money?
00:25Because, you see, Mum will shower at us.
00:29Um, I've got to go. See you.
00:32Um, Matilda!
00:42I'll give you $2,000. We'll call it compensation.
00:46I'll make it five, grand. Bye tonight.
00:49Tonight? Three's all I can get. Take it or leave it.
00:53You tried to rip me off?
00:55I said I've got no more.
00:57Hey, we had a deal.
01:04Stop it!
01:05Take care of me!
01:06Get out!
01:07Go away!
01:08Go away!
01:20You know we belong together
01:24You and I forever and ever
01:28No matter where you are
01:33You're my guiding star
01:37You're my guiding star
01:39Hold me in your arms
01:41Don't let me go
01:43I want to stay forever
01:47Closer each day
01:50Home and away
02:06Leo?
02:11Leo?
02:13Leo?
02:34What the hell's got into you?
02:36It's no big deal.
02:37No big deal.
02:38Half the town saw you running around your birthday suit.
02:40So I'm not embarrassed?
02:41More's the pity.
02:42If you were, it might stop you behaving like a flaming drongo and dragging our name through the mud.
02:47I thought you would have been proud of me for sticking to my gun.
02:49You nearly gave me a flaming heart attack.
02:50The day Jack Holden gets the better of me...
02:52Oh, you're kidding, aren't you?
02:54Jack Holden always gets the better of you.
02:56Not this time. It's not over.
02:58Oh, yes, it is.
02:59You better wake up to yourself, girl, before you do something you might really regret.
03:04Hi.
03:05You heading home?
03:06Oh, it looks like a girl's night. Maddie and I have been abandoned.
03:09Oh, in that case, so why don't you come out of our place for dinner?
03:11Oh, I couldn't do that.
03:12Yeah, no, just a few snags on the barbie and Luke and I for company.
03:15Are you sure it wouldn't put you out?
03:16Oh, of course it wouldn't.
03:17Look, we'll give you a chance to kick back and us a chance to, you know, get to know the
03:20neighbours.
03:21Okay, but I'm not coming empty-handed. Dessert's on me.
03:25Cool.
03:25Okay.
03:26All right, see you then.
03:26See you.
03:27See you.
03:27See you.
03:29Good day, mate. How you going?
03:30Hey, what can I get you?
03:31Ah, it should be here, thanks.
03:35What?
03:36Nothing.
03:38At least you can see the funny side of it, unlike Grandad.
03:40Look, it's not that.
03:42What?
03:42It's you.
03:44Look, you've got to stop letting Jack get under your skin like that.
03:46I can't help it. He's such a tough nut to crack.
03:48It's like he's got no weaknesses.
03:50Well, you'd be surprised.
03:51Really? Like what?
03:54Spiders for one. He's a complete barack-nophobe.
03:57Spiders?
03:58Hey, hey, hey. You didn't hear that from me, all right?
04:01Hey, beer's on me.
04:03Sweet.
04:22Oh, damn it.
04:28Oh.
04:35Oh.
04:38Oh.
04:43Oh.
04:45Oh, my God.
05:22Oh, my God.
05:47Oh, my God.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:52Oh, my God.
05:53Oh, my God.
05:53Oh, my God.
05:54Oh, my God.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:56Oh, my God.
06:02Oh, my God.
06:04Oh, my God.
06:10Oh, my God.
06:35Well, you see, when I met your mum, she was living in this big two-story house with her parents.
06:39Now, I'd like me wanting to ask her out since forever, but never really got the chance.
06:43But when the school dance came, I thought, right, that's it. I'm going for it.
06:46So I went round to her house after school, and I really wanted to impress her.
06:50What did you do.
06:52What did you do?
06:52What did you do?
06:52Well, I climbed up the lattice on the outside of her house to a bedroom window.
06:56Cool.
06:57Oh, it could have been.
06:59Except for the fact that when I got up there, I slipped and my foot got stuck
07:02and ended up hanging upside down, screaming for help.
07:04No way.
07:05I'm dead serious, mate. I was packing death.
07:07She comes to the window and she could not believe her eyes.
07:09What happened?
07:11Well, this is when it gets particularly embarrassing
07:13because the fire brigade had to come around and get me down.
07:16And she still went out with you after that?
07:18She said it made a laugh, mate.
07:20Her and the entire school.
07:22Look, so the lesson here is don't try to show off like your old man, OK?
07:25Just be your beautiful self.
07:26That is too funny.
07:29What do you want to know that for, anyway?
07:31Oh, no reason.
07:34Not some girl at school, is there, mate?
07:36Dad.
07:37Just asking, just asking.
07:40Hey, guess what?
07:41We've got visitors coming over for dinner tonight.
07:43Who?
07:44Beth and Matilda.
07:47Matilda's coming here tonight.
07:49Yeah, is that a problem?
07:51No, just a surprise.
07:53Cool.
07:55Well, you want to set the table, mate, because I want to fire the barbie up
07:57and I'll be here in a sec.
07:58OK.
08:03The Holden's.
08:04Why?
08:05Because we were invited.
08:06But I don't want to go.
08:08Why not?
08:08I just don't.
08:10Here's your cheesecake.
08:12Oh, thanks, Kelly.
08:12I think it's a wonderful idea next door neighbours getting to know each other.
08:16There isn't enough of it these days.
08:18I agree.
08:19I thought you would have enjoyed spending time with Lucas.
08:21I see him at school and at play practice.
08:23I don't need to see him in my own time as well.
08:24Well, it might give you a chance to go over your lines together.
08:28Anyway, have a nice evening.
08:31Mum, mum, mum, please.
08:33Is there something you're not telling me?
08:35Is there some other reason why you don't want to go?
08:37No, why would there be?
08:38Because I just don't get it.
08:40I just don't feel like it, OK?
08:41Oh, all right.
08:42I'm not going to make you go.
08:44Well, I don't think it's very neighbourly.
08:46What else are you going to do instead?
08:48I don't know.
08:48Hang out here.
08:49So don't be home late.
08:51Oh, OK.
09:27Hello?
09:34Amanda?
09:35Is anyone there?
09:56Oh, hello, Amanda.
09:57Can I get you anything?
09:58Oh, no thanks, Colleen.
10:00I think I'm supposed to be meeting Scott here.
10:02Oh, he had a charter.
10:03Oh, just make yourself comfortable there.
10:10Oh, hi, Mum.
10:17Hello, darling.
10:18What have you been up to since I saw you last?
10:20Oh, we've been doing guy stuff.
10:21You know, just cruising, picking up chicks.
10:22Yeah.
10:24What's that on your dress?
10:27Um, nail polish.
10:28I'm so clumsy sometimes.
10:30So what are you doing here on your lonesome?
10:32Well, I had tentative arrangements to meet Scott, but...
10:35No, sorry, we didn't mean to crash your party.
10:37Oh, that's OK.
10:38Well, now that you're here,
10:39maybe we can all have dinner together.
10:40Cool.
10:41Cool.
10:42Yeah, so what did you get up to this afternoon?
10:44Anything exciting?
10:45Oh, well, if you think going ten round,
10:47with the bank manager's fun, then, yeah,
10:49I had a great time today.
10:53Oh, you're looking sharp.
10:59Thanks.
11:00You do know it's the snags of the neighbours
11:01and not a dinner party, don't you?
11:02I know.
11:03I just felt like changing my shirt.
11:05There you are.
11:06Speak of the devil.
11:07Perth, hi.
11:08Come in.
11:08Hi.
11:08Hi, Lucas.
11:09Hi.
11:10No Matilda?
11:11Oh, no, I'm afraid it's just me now.
11:13Oh, well, all the more for us, then.
11:14What have we got here?
11:14I hope you like cheesecake.
11:17Oh, we love it, don't we, mate?
11:18Yeah.
11:19Is Matilda OK?
11:20Oh, she's fine.
11:21I don't know why she didn't want to come.
11:22She just said she didn't feel like it.
11:24I hope that's all right.
11:25Oh, yeah, that's fine.
11:26I just was hoping she wasn't ill, you know,
11:28with the play and everything.
11:30Ah, yes, Colleen's play.
11:32Oh, yes.
11:33The queen of the theatre.
11:34Yes.
11:35Thanks.
11:37There you are, Dan.
11:38Enjoy your meal.
11:39Hi, as always, Colleen.
11:43Oh, Amanda, I've been looking everywhere for you.
11:46Oh, is everything OK?
11:47Yeah, I just got a bit concerned when I couldn't get a hold of you
11:49and your phone's been off all afternoon.
11:51Has it?
11:52Oh, sorry, I do that all the time.
11:54I went to the bank at Yabby Creek and then I just came straight here.
11:57So you haven't been home?
11:58No.
11:59Why?
12:00Well, because I went around there but there was no answer,
12:02but I was sure I heard something.
12:08Oh, my God.
12:09What happened?
12:10Just some burglars, mate.
12:11I knew I heard a noise.
12:12I should have done something.
12:16It's him.
12:17It's Leo.
12:19He must have done this.
12:20We don't know that for sure.
12:22Oh, who else would it be?
12:24He threatened me.
12:25You heard him.
12:26This is his payback.
12:28Let's just take it easy until the police arrive, OK?
12:30If the police hadn't listened to me in the first place,
12:32this wouldn't have happened.
12:38Apparently, it's going to be Colleen's ticket to Broadway.
12:40Oh, I don't know about that.
12:42What do you think, Luke?
12:43Maybe.
12:44Hey, back it off a bit, mate.
12:45Anyone would think you haven't been fed for a month.
12:47Now, can I please be excused?
12:48What about the cheesecake, mate?
12:49Oh, I'm too full.
12:52OK, but hey, we've got a guest.
12:53Oh, don't mind me.
12:54He's obviously got somewhere important to go.
12:56Thanks.
12:56So where are you going?
12:58Where's Matilda tonight?
13:00She was at the diner the last time I saw her.
13:02Thanks.
13:06What was all that about?
13:08Oh, we're getting slow in our old age.
13:11That's why he's asking me about girls today.
13:14Your son and my daughter.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:18And we could be in for a bumpy ride.
13:26Lucas!
13:27I thought you were having a barbecue.
13:29Yeah, have you seen Matilda?
13:30Yeah, she's right over there.
13:34Hey.
13:36Hi.
13:38Look, you don't have to say anything, OK?
13:39It was a mistake.
13:40A mistake?
13:41I only wrote you that letter because you were at me one.
13:43I'm sorry?
13:45Well, no, sorry, you didn't.
13:47But I thought you did.
13:48You said it wasn't you.
13:49But by the time that I'd realised you'd already...
13:53Um, just forget it.
13:54I can't forget it.
13:56Well, could you please try?
13:57I already feel like a big enough idiot as it is.
14:01Anyway, it doesn't matter.
14:02Hang on.
14:03So all that stuff you said in the letter,
14:06you didn't really mean it?
14:08Well, yeah.
14:10I meant it.
14:11Have you read To Kill a Mockingbird?
14:14No.
14:15Ever seen the movie with Gregory Peck?
14:17Who's Gregory Peck?
14:18He's an actor.
14:19It's such a good story.
14:20It's my favourite movie.
14:21One of those old black and white ones
14:22that everyone should see at least once.
14:25Anyway, I was thinking,
14:26if you do like movies,
14:28there's a new one on at Yabby Creek tomorrow.
14:31I thought we could go see it.
14:32I can't remember what it's called, but...
14:34I'd love to.
14:36Really?
14:36What time?
14:38I think it starts at ten,
14:39so we could meet up at nine.
14:40How about the surf club?
14:42Great.
14:43Great.
14:44OK, I'll see you then.
14:46OK.
14:47Bye.
14:48Bye.
14:51Waiting for that time to begin.
14:56It is him.
14:57I know it is.
14:58How can you be so sure?
15:00My rings are gone.
15:01My necklace is gone.
15:02That doesn't mean it was Sims.
15:03He said he was going to get me,
15:05and now he has.
15:06Or is that some big coincidence to you?
15:07It doesn't make sense.
15:09He'd be crazy to do this to you.
15:11He is crazy.
15:12I should know.
15:13He attacked me, remember?
15:14It's OK.
15:17You said everything was going to be OK,
15:19but it's just worse.
15:21What's going to happen now?
15:22We keep looking.
15:23Hope that something turns up.
15:25Other than that,
15:26there's not a lot we can do.
15:37I wonder what our kids are up to.
15:39Yeah, they're probably making fun of us oldies.
15:42I told you this could be a worry.
15:44I forgot what this was like.
15:46What's that?
15:46Having a night off from the kids.
15:50Excuse me.
15:56Hey, Martha.
15:57Hey, I've come in.
15:58Sorry to drop in like this.
15:59That's all right.
16:00Welcome to the day for you.
16:01Hi, Martha.
16:01Hi.
16:02Are you sure I'm not interrupting?
16:03I can come back later.
16:04No, no, we're just doing the dishes.
16:06OK.
16:06I guess you didn't come to help us with that, did you?
16:08No, I didn't.
16:09I came around to check on that fuse box.
16:11I know it's late,
16:12but I've been meaning to come around
16:13ever since she had those problems,
16:14so it'll only take me a second.
16:16No worries.
16:17Thanks very much.
16:18Do you need a torch?
16:19Oh, no, I'm fine.
16:20Got one.
16:20OK, we'll just sing out if you need a hand.
16:22OK.
16:25We're a house full of boys,
16:26but between us we do pretty good.
16:27Oh, you seem to have to wash it up then.
16:29Thanks.
16:30I just want to have a cheesecake.
16:31I don't know.
17:04And there was nothing else taken?
17:06No, not that I know of.
17:07Well, if you hear of anything that we should know about,
17:10give us a call.
17:10Yeah, I will.
17:11Thanks.
17:11But that's it?
17:13For now.
17:14You're not going to arrest Sims?
17:15And charge him with what?
17:16We've got nothing that connects him with this crime.
17:19He must have done it.
17:20I mean, he hit Irene's place twice.
17:22He didn't trash your place, though.
17:23But surely he must be a suspect.
17:26He threatened me,
17:27and the minute he gets out,
17:28this happens.
17:29There's no hard evidence.
17:31And until we find some,
17:32there's nothing else we can do.
17:34There must be something.
17:36Look, I'm sorry.
17:38I know how upsetting this must be for you.
17:40If we hear of anything,
17:42you'll be the first to know.
17:43Thanks for coming over.
17:44No worries.
17:47Wait.
17:49Whose is this?
17:58It looks like the bandana Sims had on.
18:01What did I tell you?
18:10You shouldn't have any more troubles.
18:11The fuses are fine.
18:12Great.
18:12Thanks for that.
18:13No worries.
18:14See you later.
18:14See you later, Mum.
18:15Bye.
18:16Don't you look different in your clothes on?
18:18Hmm.
18:20What are you doing here?
18:21Checking the fuses, mate.
18:22At this time of night?
18:24And Beth came over for dinner.
18:25Hi, Beth.
18:26You look like you've had a tough night.
18:28Yeah, I have, actually.
18:29Mate, there's plenty of food left if you're hungry.
18:31Oh, I'm fine for the moment.
18:32Thanks, Dad.
18:33I don't mean to be rude or anything,
18:34but I might leave you guys to it.
18:36Jump in the shower, freshen up a bit.
18:38Why don't we go for a walk
18:39and give him time to wind down the piece?
18:41That's a good idea.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Give me a chance to, um, walk off some of that cheesecake.
18:47It's in the fridge, mate.
18:48Try it.
18:49Thanks.
18:54There is no way that Sims is going to get off this time.
18:57Lucky that bandana turning up.
18:59Yeah, must feel like you'll be to Helen back then.
19:01I know.
19:02I just want it to be over.
19:03I hope they find him quickly.
19:05Yeah, well, it's lucky you and the others weren't home at the time.
19:07I mean, knowing what he's capable of.
19:09That's right, mate.
19:09Yeah.
19:10I know.
19:11And I very nearly was as well.
19:13I mean, if I hadn't have had to step out to the shops.
19:15The shops?
19:16Yeah, that's right.
19:18But I saw you around that time, not far from here, walking to your car.
19:21Yeah, yeah.
19:23Oh, I had a flat tyre.
19:24I just changed the stupid thing myself.
19:26You and mobile's here.
19:28You left it at home.
19:29Thanks.
19:30Did someone call?
19:31Yeah, well, I've been trying to call you.
19:32Constable Henderson just came back to the house.
19:34What for?
19:35He wants to talk to you about Leo Sims.
19:37Why?
19:38What's happened?
19:39I don't know, but it sounded pretty serious.
19:40You better get down there.
19:52Thanks.
19:56Thanks for coming.
19:59What's this about?
20:00Leo Sims.
20:02He's dead.
20:03What?
20:06It looks like he tripped and hit his head, probably while he's trying to get away.
20:11We thought you'd like to know.
20:12Oh, that's awful.
20:14I would never have wished that on him.
20:16It's...
20:19Are these yours?
20:22They were found on his body.
20:24I'll look and ask for their release.
20:25Thanks.
20:29They found my jewellery.
20:31Well, it's over now.
20:33You don't have to worry.
20:34I'm so glad that you're here.
20:36I'm so glad that he doesn't have to be a good one.
20:48I'm so glad that he's here.
20:50I'm so glad that he's here.
