00:08Do you hear the news?
00:09My brother's out for a month.
00:11He's going to miss selection.
00:12Yeah, mate, I did.
00:13You're a gutless wonder, aren't you?
00:14You know you're never going to be good enough, so you bring everyone else down around you.
00:17No, that's not what happened.
00:18You picked the wrong target this time, mate.
00:20If you think you're going to get away with this, watch my back advise you, mate.
00:24Oh, yeah.
00:26Enough of the tears.
00:27Let them throw at us what they will.
00:28Hey, get off the stage.
00:30Get off the stage.
00:31No, no, not you.
00:32The crew, all.
00:34Rex, I fell.
00:37Shut your face.
00:43Jack.
00:45Help.
00:47Jack, help.
00:52You know we belong together.
00:57You and I forever and ever.
01:01No matter where you are.
01:06You're my guiding star.
01:08You're my guiding star.
01:10Hold me in your arms.
01:13Don't let me go.
01:14I want to stay forever.
01:18Close I reach day.
01:20Close I reach day.
01:22Home and away.
01:29I got to admit, Colleen, I didn't think you could pull it off.
01:33Oh, yeah, you have little faith, Al Stewart.
01:36Well, they nearly didn't.
01:37I mean, when the set starts falling down.
01:39Yeah, and the cast goes mad.
01:41You've got to wonder who's running the show.
01:43Yes, well, in good theatre, you don't see the hand of the director.
01:46Oh, I thought it was fantastic, Colleen.
01:48Oh, thank you, Pet.
01:49And the important thing is that we raised a full $900 for the hospital.
01:53Yeah.
01:54We are very grateful.
01:55I haven't done it alone, of course.
01:56I really must thank Barry Hyde when I see him.
01:58Where is Barry?
01:59I thought he'd be here.
02:00Oh, he said he'd be along.
02:01He had to lock up at the school.
02:03Oh, Sal, do you mind if I get going?
02:05Hey, do you want to go home?
02:06No, I just, um...
02:08I'm just thinking about Aidan.
02:09I just want to check that he's OK.
02:11Oh, listen, we'll take you.
02:13Um, everybody, we're off.
02:15OK, well, if we're going to head out to the hospital,
02:17we probably should let Rick know where we are.
02:18Does anybody know where he is?
02:20Oh, he headed home.
02:20He wanted an early night.
02:22All right.
02:22All right, well, well done, Colleen.
02:24Yeah, see you.
02:24See you, guys.
02:26Thank you once again.
02:27Bye-bye.
02:37Hey, I thought I'd come and see how you were.
02:40I'm good.
02:40Yeah?
02:41I'm OK.
02:42Hi, Aidan.
02:42Um, Sean, is it?
02:44Yeah.
02:44Listen, don't feel weird about this morning, mate.
02:45I just...
02:46You know, it's in the past, so let's all move on, hey?
02:48Yeah, sweet, mate.
02:49OK, sweet.
02:49Is everything all right?
02:51Cool.
02:51That's...
02:52That's a nasty cut you've got on your head.
02:53No, I...
02:54He's tough.
02:54He's tough, mate.
02:55You know, that's what he's been telling me since I can remember.
02:58What happened?
02:59Oh, I just, um, scraped it at work on the scaffold, mate.
03:01She's just a scratch.
03:03Well, it looks painful.
03:04Nah, it's all right.
03:05You probably should let me have a look at that.
03:07Nah, look, seriously, it's cool.
03:09Because if it turns septic, you might have a problem.
03:11So, come on, let's go.
03:18Hey, Aidan looks so worried.
03:19You never know, he might give you a family discount.
03:26Who's that?
03:31Who is it?
03:38You've done a good job here.
03:39If it was any deeper, I'd have to stitch it.
03:41Oh, lad, I'll survive.
03:43Yeah, just a few steery strips and it should be fine.
03:46You do have to be careful to clean this wound, though.
03:48Yeah.
03:49So, how did you do it anyway?
03:51I've already told you.
03:53I need some help here, please.
03:57What's happened?
03:58I don't know.
03:59I found him out cold in the school field.
04:01He looks like he's taken a severe beating.
04:02Mate, you're in hospital.
04:04Can you tell me your name?
04:06Oh, my God.
04:07I tried to rouse him, stood a bit, but not much.
04:09Who's done this to him?
04:10Do you know what day it is?
04:13So, Luke and Maddie started making the whole thing up,
04:15which made people laugh, so...
04:17Sounds like a blast.
04:18Yeah, it was.
04:20Except that I had to act with Rick.
04:22God, even up there on stage, he was just being a complete...
04:26I wish you could have been there.
04:28Me too.
04:30And I would have been if it wasn't for him.
04:32Yeah, I know.
04:33Hey.
04:34Hey, how is it, mate?
04:35Yeah, cool.
04:36I'll get a bail.
04:36Yeah, that's cool.
04:38Like...
04:38Was it something I said?
04:40No.
04:40Very bad.
04:41Him, he's...
04:41Well, he's in good hands now.
04:43Oh, that's selling Mr. Hyde.
04:44I'll be back in a sec.
04:52Okay, I want a full set of bloods.
04:53What happened to him?
04:54Oh, he's been beaten up.
04:55What?
04:55By who?
04:56We don't know.
04:56Mr. Hyde found him at the school.
04:58Well, where at school?
04:59What was he doing?
04:59I wasn't doing anything.
05:00I found him at the school oval.
05:02Whatsoever did this just left him there.
05:03Cassie, why don't you just go back to Aidan's room.
05:05We'll come and get you when we know something.
05:06No, I'm not going anywhere.
05:07Flynn, what's wrong?
05:08We don't know yet.
05:09Well, is it serious?
05:09Okay, we're not too sure yet.
05:11Just please give us some time and space, Cassie.
05:18It's nights like these you realise how much of a difference you can make to the lives of the people
05:23around you.
05:24It's the truth.
05:25I wouldn't go that far.
05:25No, no, I can't be too modest about this.
05:28All those people laughing and having a good time, I owe my public more.
05:33Really?
05:34I've got six words for you, young lady.
05:37Autumn secrets of an autumn night.
05:40I'm going to write a sequel.
05:42Hogan's ghost.
05:43Make sure I'm out fishing that night, will you, love?
05:45Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
05:48And autumn secrets of an autumn night will aim much higher than that, I assure you.
05:56You know, I have got to admit, the people there seem to be laughing and having a pretty good time,
06:02even if it all wasn't meant to happen.
06:03Yeah, we certainly did.
06:05Yeah, well, you and young Jack are getting along all right, eh?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Oh, he's so down to open up front, Grandad.
06:12I always know how he feels.
06:14Well, I'm very happy for you, love.
06:16I'm pleased to see at least one of you getting along all right.
06:18Are you worried about Rick and his whole Aiden situation?
06:22I mean, did you actually see anything?
06:24Well, I should have been keeping a closer eye on it.
06:28So you think there's a chance that Rick did this deliberately?
06:31Well, that's just it.
06:33I don't know.
06:35I mean, he was playing hard.
06:37Harder than he normally does, I suppose, but...
06:39Oh, sorry, love, excuse me.
06:43Alf, Stuart.
06:45Oh, g'day, Sel.
06:48His what?
06:55What's the story?
06:57Oh, they've done some tests.
06:59Flynn's just checking over him again.
07:00Flynn?
07:01Sorry, mate, I'm just waiting on some test results.
07:03Can you just give me a minute?
07:04Oh, here we go.
07:06Well?
07:07Okay.
07:08There doesn't appear to be any fracture to the skull or any broken bones.
07:13The CT scan says...
07:16All clear.
07:18Well, I'll leave you all to it.
07:20Thanks.
07:20Yeah, thank you, Barry.
07:22You haven't found him.
07:23But I did.
07:24He's safe now.
07:27Okay, let's have a look at him.
07:29Mate, I need you to wake up for me.
07:34Can you tell me your name?
07:36Rick.
07:37Rick, I need you to open your eyes.
07:41Welcome back.
07:42Hi.
07:43How is he?
07:44Aiden, bed rest means bed rest.
07:46Go on.
07:48I'll come with you.
07:51Do you know who I am?
07:52Yeah, mate.
07:53You're fling.
07:55What's going on?
07:56Martha and I are here too, mate.
08:00What happened?
08:01Well, we're hoping you could tell us that.
08:04I don't know.
08:09Hey, tough guy.
08:11We're going to lie to you, didn't we?
08:13What's the matter?
08:13I told us an accident.
08:14I'm coming!
08:17It was Sean.
08:19Oh, God.
08:21He kept coming at me.
08:23What?
08:24It was Sean who bashed me.
08:36So, you're sure it was Sean Jeffreys who attacked you?
08:38Yeah, I was leaving the play.
08:40Okay.
08:41I want you to tell me again what happened.
08:43All right.
08:44I was going across the Oval and then this guy just appeared out of nowhere.
08:47It was Sean.
08:48He approached you?
08:50Yeah.
08:50He was not happy about Aiden.
08:52That's his brother, Aiden and Rick.
08:55There was an accident at footy training and Aiden got hurt.
08:58He's also in here with a severe concussion.
09:00Yeah, Sean reckons it was my fault and he started getting really fired up and then it was on.
09:05He was punching me and I don't remember anything after that.
09:10I heard it as soon as I could.
09:11Thanks.
09:12I don't know if it is relevant, but Sean was in here before with a pretty nasty cut on his
09:17hand.
09:17Okay, well, the first thing we need to do is talk to Mr Jeffreys.
09:20I can give you a hand on that if you like.
09:22I mean, I'll start tomorrow anyway.
09:24Yeah, go.
09:25Great.
09:26All right, um, yeah, we'll work it out, guys.
09:29I'll see you later.
09:30I should write up some notes and get some more of your test results, sir.
09:36We'll remember this night for a while, won't we?
09:38How is he?
09:39Did you see what happened?
09:40Uh, yeah, he's still pretty mixed up, so.
09:43Can you let me know how he's going?
09:44I said break a leg at the plane, not your head.
09:53Why are you guys hassling me?
09:54No one's hassling you, Sean.
09:56An accusation's been made and we're investigating.
09:59Well, I didn't do anything, so you know what you can do without accusation.
10:02You seem pretty angry.
10:04Why wouldn't I be?
10:05My brother gets thumped and now he's trying to lay this on me.
10:08That's what we call a motive.
10:10Well, I didn't do anything, so he's making everything up.
10:13Can you tell me how you got that cut on your hand?
10:16Well, it is a cut and I got it working.
10:19Where?
10:20On a building site.
10:21I'm a labourer.
10:21Why do you think Rick Dolby would make up a story about you?
10:25Because he's a little maggot and he's worried about getting in trouble with what he did to Aidan
10:28and he's trying to get out of it.
10:29It's a strange way to get out of it.
10:32Getting someone to beat you up.
10:33Well, it's stupid.
10:34And if you want to find out what happened, I suggest you go down and talk with that little loser.
10:38We'll definitely do that.
10:39In the meantime, can anyone confirm where you were tonight?
10:43My brother Aidan.
10:44I was at the hospital with him all night.
10:48What are you thinking about?
10:51I was just thinking about Rick.
10:53Whoever did this to him really gave him a beating.
10:56Yeah, he'll be okay.
10:57Yeah, but who'd even do something like that?
10:59And why?
11:00I mean, you saw him.
11:01They wanted to hurt him big time.
11:05Sorry to interrupt.
11:06I just wanted to ask you a few quick questions, if that's all right.
11:09Questions about what?
11:11Your brother Sean.
11:13There's been a complaint made against him.
11:15We just need to verify where he was tonight.
11:18Um, yeah, he was with me.
11:21For how long?
11:22Um, well, from dinner time till just a while ago.
11:25Why?
11:26What's the complaint?
11:27Is Rick saying that it was Sean who attacked him?
11:30We can't comment on that.
11:31Well, have you talked to Sean?
11:33Yeah, he said the same thing.
11:35We won't keep you no longer.
11:38Thanks for your time.
11:42His alibi checks out, Rick.
11:44What?
11:46He was here with his brother.
11:47One of the nurses confirmed it.
11:49Said that he came in the early evening and she didn't seem to leave.
11:51Jack, he followed me after the play and he bashed me.
11:54I don't see how that's possible.
11:55Well, it's obvious how it's possible.
11:57He's lying.
11:57They both are.
11:59All right, what about the cut on his hand?
12:01Well, unless Flynn can prove that he got in a fight.
12:05Well, it was a recent injury, but I mean, proving it, it's not that easy.
12:10In that case, mate, I'm sorry.
12:11We can't move on Sean until we get some more evidence.
12:16Here we go.
12:20Jack.
12:22You've got to do something.
12:24There's not much we can do.
12:25You cannot just let this go.
12:27Look, we're going to go down and have a chat to some of the guys who work with Sean.
12:30See if anyone remembers this accident he reckons you have.
12:33Other than that, he's got a story and he's sticking to it.
12:39I've got to go.
12:44I can't believe they're going to let him get away with this.
12:46No, neither can I.
12:47We all saw Sean have a go at Rick this morning.
12:49And he wasn't messing around either.
12:51He did this, all right?
12:52I'm not lying.
12:54Where are you going?
12:55Well, I just think surely the best thing now is to have a chat with Aidan.
12:58Mate, I don't know that that's such a good idea.
13:00Oh, don't worry.
13:01I'm not going to let things get out of hand.
13:02I just want some answers, yeah?
13:07I just don't get it.
13:08Why would Rick say Sean did it if he didn't?
13:10I don't know.
13:13Maybe he dobbed Sean in to get out of the trouble he's in himself.
13:17Well, if he is doing that, then that's pretty low.
13:20I can't think of any other reason.
13:21I mean, Sean was here with me all night, I told you.
13:24Hi there.
13:25How are you feeling?
13:26Not too bad.
13:28Good.
13:32Aidan, are you lying to protect your brother?
13:35No.
13:36Sean was here with me all night, I told you before.
13:39Yeah, he's not lying, Flynn.
13:40Because what you have to understand is, if you are lying, you're going to make things a whole lot worse
13:44for everyone.
13:47Dr. Saunders, I'm telling you the truth.
13:51I mean, okay, Rick and I aren't exactly mates, but I never wanted this to happen, I swear to you.
14:01Fair enough.
14:03If you want to see Rick before...
14:05No, I don't.
14:09Cass, you have to believe me, I told you.
14:12I do.
14:14I do.
14:22What did he say?
14:23No, he's sticking to his story.
14:24Yeah, of course he's...
14:24We can't let him get away with this, Flynn.
14:26It's not right.
14:26Hey, you're upsetting yourself, it's not helping you, okay?
14:29I've told you, you need to rest.
14:30Well, if that's doctor's orders, maybe Martha and I should get out of your hair, eh?
14:33Let's have a bit of rest.
14:35Hang in there, mate.
14:36Pippa is still with Madge too, she's going to be getting worried.
14:40Thank God, please.
14:41Don't let this get on top of you.
14:43All right, no, no.
14:47Oh, okay, I'm going to go as well, I've just got to grab my jacket.
14:50I'll meet you up soon.
14:51Okay.
14:55Don't mind me, mate.
14:56I'll just grab my jacket.
15:02Jake!
15:04Help me, help me, help me.
15:06Jake!
15:07I called out.
15:10Sorry?
15:11I saw you when you were leaving the school and I called out, but you didn't stop.
15:16Are you serious?
15:19I'm sorry, mate.
15:20I mustn't have heard you.
15:21Mate, I was too far away.
15:24I'll see you tomorrow.
15:26I'll see you tomorrow.
15:40Listen, if he needs anything at all, can you page me?
15:44Yeah.
15:45Okay.
15:46Bye now.
15:48Apparently, Rick didn't have much of a night.
15:51Julie's had to top up his pain relief.
15:53Is he okay now?
15:54Yeah.
15:55I mean, he's the poor kid.
15:56He's stuck in hospital and the guy that's properly put him in there has had a comfortable night in his
15:59own bed.
16:00How does that work?
16:00I just don't see why the police can't put a bit more pressure on Aidan.
16:04He must know what happened.
16:06Maybe they know he's telling the truth.
16:09Look, why is it so hard to believe?
16:11Aidan wouldn't lie.
16:12He doesn't have to.
16:12If he says Sean was with him, then Sean was with him.
16:15It's just very convenient, that's all.
16:16Yeah, well, Rick was knocked out.
16:19His mom could be playing tricks on him.
16:20Did anyone think of that?
16:22Well, it could.
16:22You don't know.
16:24You just want someone to blame.
16:28She could be right.
16:29You know, Rick was unconscious.
16:30There's no way.
16:31That Sean guy's acting really weird.
16:33You know, I don't know what it is, but, you know.
16:36Listen, I might head off to the hospital.
16:38Oh, give me ten minutes.
16:39I can get Pippa ready and I'll come with you.
16:41I guess you've got to drop off on the way somewhere, so I'll just see you there.
16:43Oh, okay.
16:44Well, you're dropping off.
16:46Nothing for you to worry about.
16:47Okay.
16:48See you at the hospital.
16:49Okay.
17:04Dr. Saunders, what are you doing here?
17:06I want you to tell me how you really got that cut on your hand.
17:09I've got nothing to say to you, mate.
17:10Well, if you're sacking your brothers, I think you should tell me the truth.
17:13Is that it?
17:14We both know how you got that injury.
17:15If you think I'm going to let you get away with it, you're kidding yourself.
17:22Bye-bye.
17:23You have a thing about it.
17:37You're not going, are you?
17:39I don't need to.
17:39My hearing's getting better.
17:40You still need to see a doctor.
17:41I saw you when you were leaving the school, and I called out, but you didn't stop.
17:52Have I told you lately I love a man in uniform?
17:56I just wanted to wish you luck on your first official day back.
17:58How are you feeling?
17:59Great.
18:00You never know who you're going to arrest and where it may lead.
18:02There is only an eye for him in your life for one traffic offender.
18:12You tell me not to worry, and then you go and do something like that.
18:14All I did was talk to the guy.
18:16Yeah, the same guy that we think did this to Rick.
18:18We don't know what the police are up to.
18:19We could be interfering.
18:20I think we all know what the police are going to do, darling.
18:23Well, if those two blokes stick to their story, the police can't do anything.
18:26Yeah, so why not say something?
18:28Excuse me.
18:29It's time for your shower, so I'll be back in a minute to give you a hand, okay?
18:33Well, let's give the unblank a bit of a room, eh?
18:36See you later.
18:36Thanks to see you later.
18:38See you later.
18:49Hey, how are you?
18:51I'm all right.
18:52What about you?
18:53I'm trying not to be angry.
18:55I don't know why you're making things so hard for Aidan and his brother.
18:58I mean, it's bad enough what you did to him at football, but...
19:00I didn't do anything to him.
19:01I don't make it hard for his brother.
19:02The guy bashed me.
19:03Oh, would you just stop it?
19:05It's the truth, Cass.
19:05Why would I lie about something like this?
19:07To get yourself out of trouble because of what you did to Aidan?
19:09I am not in trouble because of Aidan.
19:12It was an accident.
19:14If Aidan says Sean was with him last night, then that's good enough for me.
19:17Well, I'm saying that he was out there with me.
19:19Aidan wouldn't lie.
19:20And I would.
19:22You know what?
19:22I don't need you coming in here and calling me a liar, so just run back to Aidan.
19:26You're going to make me sick.
19:27Oh, the feeling's completely mutual.
19:37This is out of control.
19:38What did you expect, mate?
19:39You put the guy in hospital.
19:41What, do you think?
19:41I was just going to sit back and let him take out my kid brother?
19:43Why did you have to go so far, mate?
19:45Look, I did this for you, right?
19:46You can't let people like that just walk all over you.
19:49Now this damn doctor won't back off.
19:51It'll be all right, okay?
19:53It better be.
19:56I can't get done for this.
19:57They'll send me straight back inside and I'm not going back in there.
20:00Okay, we stick to our story.
20:01It'll be fine.
20:02Yeah, it sounds like a pretty big risk to me.
20:04So what are you going to do?
20:08Yeah, that's it.
20:09What?
20:10You'll see.
20:11What?
20:11You'll see.
20:12Okay.
20:15I can't believe it.
20:16She hardly even knows, Aidan.
20:17She accuses me of lying.
20:18It's not as simple as that.
20:19He's her boyfriend.
20:20It should be that simple.
20:21Cassie's stuck in the middle and she doesn't know what to do.
20:24Just wait.
20:24Good morning, guys.
20:25Hey, have you been able to pin Sean yet?
20:27Actually, mate, I'm here to talk to you.
20:29What's the story?
20:30Aidan's made an official complaint about yesterday morning.
20:33What?
20:34I'm sorry, Rick, but you're going to be charged with this song.
20:37You're kidding.
20:48It's suddenly clear
20:52I will always lead you here
20:56Hold me in your arms
20:59Don't let me go
21:01I want to stay forever
21:04Close to our reach day
21:08Hold me in your way
21:13Forever
