00:05He kept coming at me.
00:07What?
00:08It was Sean who bashed me.
00:09We both know how you got that injury.
00:10If you think I'm gonna let you get away with it, you're kidding yourself.
00:17Now this damn doctor won't back off.
00:19It'll be alright, okay?
00:21It better be.
00:22If you stick to our story, it'll be fine.
00:23I can't get done for this.
00:25They'll send me straight back inside and I'm not going back in.
00:27So what are you gonna do?
00:31Yeah, that's it.
00:32Aiden's made an official complaint about yesterday morning.
00:35What?
00:36I'm sorry, Rick, but you're gonna be charged with assault.
00:38You're kidding.
01:00Hold me in your arms.
01:03Don't let me go.
01:05I want to stay forever.
01:09Close I reach day.
01:12Home and away.
01:15This is ridiculous.
01:16It was an accident.
01:17We're talking about rugby for crying out loud.
01:20Not drop the flaming hanky.
01:21Tackling's part of the game.
01:22I thought playing a contact sport was a statute of defence against any charge of assault.
01:26It is, unless it was premeditated.
01:28And that's what Aiden and his family are alleging.
01:31They've even got a witness to back them up.
01:32Who?
01:33I can't disclose that.
01:34It was Aiden's mate Jimmy, wasn't it?
01:36Sean's got to be on.
01:37I bet he's the one who wanted to be charged too.
01:39I can't comment on that either.
01:41Well, I do find it very interesting that the Jeffreys have only got the police involved
01:44after Rick has accused Sean of bashing him.
01:47What happens now?
01:49When Rick is discharged, you're gonna have to come down the station.
01:52You're gonna be formally interviewed and charged.
01:55As he's a minor, you or Flynn will have to accompany him.
01:58We'll both be there.
01:59We'll all be there.
02:00I'm really sorry about this.
02:11Can you do the formal stuff for Dolby down the station?
02:13I'll get some other witnesses that I'd like to see.
02:15Jack! Jack! Jack!
02:17I was calling you.
02:18Oh, sorry, I was just talking to my mate.
02:20There must be something more you can do for Rick.
02:22We're doing everything we can.
02:24We've got conflicting stories, but we'll get to the truth of it.
02:27The truth is Sean and Aidan are lying.
02:30You don't seriously believe them.
02:33Can you give us a minute?
02:36Strictly off the record, no.
02:38Especially Sean is the type of guy who'd stitch up his own granny just to save his skin.
02:42Yeah, so do something about it.
02:43I can't without hard evidence.
02:44Then get it.
02:45Just like that.
02:46Rick's my cousin.
02:47I know he's innocent.
02:49At least talk to Sean.
02:50Try and put some pressure on him to come clean.
02:52Please.
02:54I mean, you can see what the Jeffries are playing at.
02:56They're trying to provide the police with a revenge motive to discredit your assault accusation against Sean.
03:00It's a rort.
03:01It's Aidan's part in all this that gets up my nose.
03:04He talks big about the spirit of the game and play hard, cop it on the chin.
03:09What happens on the paddock stays there.
03:11I thought he had more spine.
03:13Maybe his brother's just got some sort of hold over him.
03:14Guys, can we please just drop it?
03:16I want to get out of here.
03:16Listen, you have to go down to the police station.
03:18That's not going to be a walk in the park.
03:19What do you reckon?
03:20Are you sure you feel up to it?
03:22Look, I just want to get this over with so I can go home.
03:25Okay.
03:25I'll sign the paperwork.
03:27Keep your chin up, mate.
03:28We're with you all the way on this one.
03:33You've got a flaming hide showing your face around here, haven't you?
03:35I'm here to visit my brother.
03:37What's your problem?
03:37Our problem is creeps like you that bash innocent people.
03:41Well, you're the wrong guy, babe.
03:43Rick's the one charged with assault, not me.
03:45Yeah, because you lied to the police.
03:46You and your brother.
03:47No, no, no.
03:47Walk away.
03:48He's not worth it.
03:49Okay.
03:50If you think your problems are over, they've only just begun.
04:04Then this piece of scenery just crashes onto the stage.
04:07The audience thought it was all part of the show.
04:09They went off their brains.
04:15You're still stewing about missing the trial match, aren't you?
04:19Hey, there'll be other chances.
04:20There's no way the big clubs are going to let someone like you get away.
04:24Look, I'm not much fun at the moment, so if you want to go, I don't...
04:28And what will you do?
04:29Lie here and feel sorry for yourself?
04:33It's all going to work out fine.
04:35You'll see.
04:42Is there any other trick concussion in here?
04:44Someone hit me on the head.
04:46We need to talk, mate.
04:47Alright.
04:48We'll see you later, sweetheart.
04:50Excuse me?
04:51Yeah.
04:52Just give us five minutes, guys.
04:55Yeah, sure.
05:00Don't talk to her like that, mate.
05:01You want her gone, she's gone.
05:04Now, what's up?
05:07Can't keep up the lies, Sean.
05:09I want out.
05:11You better be joking.
05:12Look, let's just come clean about the whole thing.
05:15Before it gets any further, mate.
05:16Wait.
05:17Are you crazy?
05:18I'll go back to jail.
05:19Is that what you want?
05:20Of course not.
05:20No, I just...
05:23I don't think I can handle this anymore.
05:25Look.
05:26You keep your mouth shut, okay?
05:27You listen to me.
05:28Sean!
05:29Fine.
05:29We're in this too far.
05:30Now, you stick to the story.
05:32You got it?
05:34Yeah.
05:36Okay, good.
05:36Good.
05:43Very useful.
05:44Yeah, thanks.
05:46Cheers.
05:47G'day, Sean.
05:49How you going?
05:50I've just been having a really interesting conversation about you.
05:53Oh, yeah?
05:54Yeah, uh...
05:55Tumblr's telling me about those prize deals.
05:57You know, the convenience store robbery and the cashier that you assaulted.
06:01What about him?
06:02Apparently, the cashier reckons he gave you the cash, but you still bashed him.
06:06Well, the convenience store robbery and the cashier that you assaulted.
06:06He literally lied, didn't he?
06:08I also heard that you got sacked from your rugby team for violent behaviour on and off the field.
06:13Well, so what?
06:14Well, I guess it must be hard to break old habits, huh?
06:17Look, this is harassment.
06:18I haven't done anything.
06:19Mate, I know how hard this must be for you.
06:21I mean, you love your little brother and you wanted to succeed, but you failed, right?
06:26And next week's match, I mean, that was his chance at the big time, right?
06:30And then he gets injured at practice?
06:32I mean, phew.
06:32He didn't get injured.
06:33Rick Dolby took him out, stuffed Aiden's career, and that's why he should be charged.
06:38And that's why you bashed him?
06:40I didn't bash anyone.
06:41I was in here.
06:41Oh, it was...
06:42Yeah, yeah, that's right.
06:43Yeah.
06:44It does matter.
06:44We're actually, uh...
06:46We're close to IDing the offender.
06:47You see, we analysed some of the blood that we found in Rick's shirt.
06:51I'll see you around.
06:53Oh, um...
06:54How's the cut on the hand?
06:56It's fine, mate.
06:57Happens at work all the time.
06:58Is that all?
07:00Yeah, mate.
07:01But I'll be seeing a lot of you, Sean.
07:15Come on.
07:16Feet up.
07:17Two sugars, yeah?
07:18Look, guys, I'm okay.
07:20You need a rest, mate.
07:21Doctor's orders.
07:22If it was up with the cops, I'd be resting in a cell.
07:24The interview's over, mate.
07:25No more questions.
07:26You handled it very well.
07:28Can we stop pretending?
07:29No, they brought up my school records.
07:30They're obviously out to get me.
07:31They're on Sean's side.
07:32Jack's on your side.
07:34Oh, did he say so?
07:36I just mean, he's really fair.
07:37He'll get the facts.
07:38Well, I suppose things couldn't be any worse.
07:40Why don't you look on the positive side, eh?
07:42You're out of hospital.
07:43There's no permanent damage.
07:45And you've got people waiting on your hand and foot.
07:49Oh, Mary, come on in.
07:51Morning.
07:51I believe Rick's here.
07:55How are you feeling?
07:56I'm okay.
07:58Listen, thank you for finding me and taking me to hospital.
08:01I'm glad that you're all right.
08:02Can I get you anything, Mr Hyde?
08:04No, thank you, Martha.
08:05I'm not actually here on a social visit.
08:08I wish I had better news, but it's my rather unpleasant duty to inform you that due to police charges,
08:13you're being suspended from school until further notice.
08:22But he hasn't done anything.
08:24There must be other options.
08:25I don't like doing this, believe me.
08:26Well, don't.
08:27The bottom line is I have no choice.
08:29It's policy.
08:30Any student facing school charges will be suspended pending the outcome.
08:35It's for your protection too, Rick.
08:38Aidan's a popular student.
08:39There could be trouble.
08:40No, but this is great because I'm already repeating and now I get to fail again.
08:44No, you won't.
08:44I'll talk to your teachers and make sure you stay up to date.
08:47We'll give you all the support we can.
08:49Provided you don't go to school.
08:51Well, how long would this suspension last?
08:53It depends on the court case, one way or the other.
08:55But if I'm found guilty, you're going to expel me, aren't you?
08:58I'm sure it won't come to that.
09:00Look, I think I'll leave you to it.
09:02I'm sure you want to talk things over.
09:04If you have any questions.
09:05Yeah, I'll call you.
09:07This is not fair.
09:09And if Jack had heard me yelling, then I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.
09:13Hang on.
09:13You called out to Jack and he didn't hear you.
09:15When?
09:16When Sean was belting me, I saw Jack coming across the school grounds and I called out.
09:20I mean, if he'd seen Sean, then he could have called him.
09:25I don't know, he reckons he was too far away or something.
09:34Are you going to eat that?
09:37You haven't.
09:38I bought it for you.
09:39I don't feel like it.
09:40Okay, keep it till you do feel like it.
09:47Aidan, what's wrong?
09:48Nothing.
09:49Look, are you worried about your brother or something?
09:52Why would I be worried about him? He hasn't done anything wrong.
09:55Well, the minute he got here, I had to leave the room so you two could talk.
09:58Then Jack Holden stopped him as he was leaving.
10:00What, the cop?
10:00Yeah, it looked like he was giving him a pretty hard time.
10:03Yeah, what do you expect?
10:03That's what cops do.
10:07Aidan, you would tell me if there was something wrong, wouldn't you?
10:11Yeah, of course I would.
10:15This defence has been absolutely outstanding.
10:20You're not enjoying the footy, mate?
10:22Not really.
10:25It was a fair tackle.
10:27I know.
10:29I'm sure I went in hard.
10:31You know, I wanted to hammer Aidan to show him that I actually can tackle,
10:34but I never had the intention of hurting him.
10:36And now I'm up on a charge for doing what those guys do every week.
10:39Rick, the truth always comes out sooner or later.
10:41Yeah, sooner it'd be better.
10:43You just have to let things run their course.
10:45Why?
10:45Why can't I do something to help myself?
10:47The best thing you can do right now is rest and get better.
10:51Hey, what if I went around to Sean's to talk to him?
10:53Not a chance.
10:54Don't even think about it.
10:55Well, I can get him to change his mind.
10:56Yeah, how?
10:57Well, he's a stupid guy.
10:58Maybe we can settle this.
10:59He's gonna settle it with his fists.
11:01Alright, well what then?
11:02I can't just sit here and wait to go to court.
11:04I've gotta do something.
11:04Mate, I know you're frustrated, but going around the Jeffreys house when you've already been charged is stupid.
11:08You need to stay as far away from the Jeffreys as possible.
11:12You let the police do their job and trust that they're gonna get it right.
11:15If you force the issue, you're gonna get yourself into more trouble.
11:19Understood?
11:19Yes, okay.
11:26I know you're just doing your job, Barry, but I do reckon that suspension's adding insult to injury.
11:31I'm sorry, Alf. As I explained, my hands are tied.
11:35There must be something you can do.
11:36Rick has my full sympathy and support.
11:38And I'll go out of my way to make sure his education doesn't suffer.
11:42That's all I can say.
11:44If you had any guts, you'd go to the department and tell them they can shove their suspension.
11:48If you're looking for someone to blame, love, maybe you should blame me.
11:51I was in charge of the training session that morning and I could hit the whole thing on the head
11:55straight away if I had my eye on the ball.
11:57But I didn't.
11:58Now Rick's paying the price.
12:00Can I get you anything?
12:02Uh, no, actually, I'm fine.
12:04Hey, how's the investigation going?
12:06I just had to talk to Sean.
12:07And?
12:08Well, he's got answers for everything, but he definitely seems rattle.
12:11So, doesn't that prove he was lying?
12:12No, you still need evidence.
12:14Well, you have to do something, Jack.
12:16If we keep the pressure on him, I reckon he's gonna crack.
12:18How's Rick handling it?
12:20Better than I expected.
12:22You know, most guys would be itching to smash Sean's face him.
12:25Where's Rick?
12:26Oh, in his room.
12:27He's not upstairs.
12:32Rick!
12:33Rick!
12:35He wouldn't have.
12:41Open the door, caveman!
12:44Come on, I know you're in there!
12:48Yeah, what do you want?
12:48I want you to go to the cops now and tell them the truth.
12:51I haven't done anything.
12:52It's you that they're charging.
12:53You wanna do it the hard way?
12:54Fine.
12:54Yeah.
12:55You've got a short memory, Dalby, but I'm happy to remind you what happened last time.
12:58Yeah?
12:58Try it.
12:59Come on, try it.
12:59Come on.
13:02Are you trying to set me up?
13:04Huh?
13:05Nice try, buddy.
13:06I said he's cut.
13:08You've only got me in trouble once before.
13:09I'm not gonna bash you again, mate.
13:11Not on my fist anyway.
13:12Hey, hey, hey!
13:14The police will be very interested to hear that.
13:15In the car ring.
13:16I wanna store yourself.
13:16Get in the car, now!
13:18Lucky boy.
13:20Now Rick has a witness, except they'll be telling the truth.
13:22Wait, why should anyone believe you?
13:23Because I'm a doctor, mate.
13:24The wound's fresh.
13:25There's no way you did it on a building site.
13:26It's completely consistent with a hit on a tooth.
13:28What, so you say?
13:29Yeah, well, it's my opinion.
13:30It goes a long way in a court of law.
13:32Bye-bye.
13:33Yeah, look.
13:33Okay, look.
13:34We can sort it out, alright?
13:36I'll go to Aidan.
13:36I'll tell them to drop the charges.
13:38And we'll leave it at that.
13:39I'll just forget about you assaulting Rick.
13:40Forget it.
13:41Mate, I was just trying to put it over him.
13:42Give me a break.
13:43Yeah, but the next person that you bash, I'm worried might not wake up at all.
13:46Mate, I've got form and I'll go back inside.
13:48You should think about that before you start attacking people.
13:50What?
13:50I'll just back him a brother.
13:51You did it because you like it.
13:54Come in now.
13:54Come on, tell him what's hitting, mate.
14:09Expecting a call?
14:10Why not?
14:11Just checking.
14:12They didn't have much of a selection.
14:16So if you're okay now, I think I'll go.
14:18Hey, can't you stay with me?
14:19Well, there's not much point if you're not going to tell me what's going on.
14:24Last chance.
14:27Cass.
14:30When Sean was with the cops, could you...
14:32Could you hear what they were talking about?
14:36No.
14:37But Jack seemed very interested in the cut on Sean's hand.
14:40And that's when Sean really freaked.
14:41I knew they would be onto that.
14:46Aidan, how did Sean hurt his hand?
14:54I'm at 19 Currawong, C-U-R-R-A-W-O-N-G road, Summer Bay.
14:58Yep.
14:59How long?
15:01Well, you've learned to hurry.
15:02The guy's a psycho.
15:03He's lost it.
15:05What do you think you're doing, Sean?
15:06Just shut up and let me think.
15:09Well, could be mean.
15:10He's not going to sell off anything.
15:11You're only going to make things worse for yourself.
15:14Why don't you just put the bat down, call the police and give yourself up?
15:17I don't see any police around here, Doctor.
15:19Huh?
15:19Do you see any police?
15:21Well, Rick would have rang them.
15:22They were going to be here any minute.
15:26Just put it down.
15:27I said shut up!
15:30Oh, man.
15:32It's all gone wrong!
15:36I'm not going back inside.
15:37Sean!
15:38Just leave him alone.
15:39It carries between you and me.
15:40Rick, just go away.
15:41Get out of it.
15:42I've called the cops.
15:43They're on the way.
15:43Shut up!
15:44Rick!
15:45Please just go away.
15:46You're making things worse.
15:47I'll go.
15:48I'm backing off!
15:55Summer Bay 10, over.
15:57Summer Bay 10, go ahead.
15:58We've got a possible assault at number 19 Carawang Road.
16:01Two male persons, over.
16:02Copy that.
16:03We're on our way.
16:04What's up?
16:04We've got a call.
16:05Where?
16:0690 Carawang Road, assault.
16:08You lied to me.
16:09I asked you straight out if you were covering for him and you said no.
16:13I'm sorry.
16:13I didn't know Sean was going to do it, okay?
16:15You're sorry.
16:16He could have killed Rick.
16:17What was I supposed to do?
16:18He's my brother.
16:19You should have said something to Jack or to me.
16:21I wanted to, but Sean wouldn't let me, okay?
16:23Oh, so you just went along with his lies.
16:25I had no choice.
16:27Yeah, he would have been sent to jail.
16:31And Rick attacking you?
16:32That was a lie too.
16:33It was a legitimate tackle.
16:37You're not only a liar, you're a coward.
16:39Nice.
16:40I'm so wrong about you.
16:48Yeah, it's Rick Dolby.
16:49I called five minutes ago.
16:50Where's the car?
16:52Hurry up!
16:56There is another way out of this.
16:59I could talk to the cops before you explain things.
17:02Just say you're remorseful and you're willing to cooperate.
17:06They'd listen to me.
17:08You reckon?
17:10I just explained it's not in your best interest to go back to jail.
17:14Your best chance of rehabilitation is outside the prison system.
17:17You'd probably get off with a community-based order and slap on the wrist.
17:22Look, if you...
17:31Nobody home.
17:32Sounds like someone's messing with us.
17:34They're probably across the street watching us laugh on their heads off.
17:36Some of 18.
17:37We've got another call from the assault at 19 Carleton Road.
17:40How far away?
17:40I thought it was 90.
17:41No, 19.
17:43I'm nine.
17:43We'll be 30 seconds.
17:44You idiot!
17:45You're setting up on 90.
17:48Nineteen?
17:49That's at Geoffrey's place.
18:03They caught the boys to Sica.
18:04Get in there.
18:08Yew!
18:09Stay here!
18:12No, no!
18:13Police!
18:20Get off me!
18:22What? I didn't do a thing!
18:23Get into my own house!
18:25Are you okay, Doc?
18:26Yeah.
18:28Settle down.
18:34So I think Sean will be in there for quite a long stretch this time.
18:37And Aidan finally came clean?
18:39About everything.
18:41The Jeffreys have asked for the charge to be dropped.
18:43Of course, it goes without saying, your suspension no longer stands.
18:47So, mate, we'll get out of your way and let you get some rest, eh?
18:51Well, can I go to the left?
18:52Yeah, sure.
18:53See you, sir.
18:54Yeah, see you. Thank you.
18:56I knew I was right going after that idiot.
18:59Taking the law into your own hands, putting your life at risk.
19:01Never mind mine. How's it right, Rick?
19:03Okay, well, it probably wasn't the best way to...
19:04It's by pure luck we got out of that.
19:05Queen, I did not mean to put you...
19:06Well, maybe next time you should start thinking about what you did...
19:09You're both home safely now.
19:11Come on, Hero.
19:12I'll put you in a hot shower.
19:21Rick, I'm so sorry. I should have believed you.
19:25Sean's a good liar.
19:26So is Aidan.
19:27Well, you trusted him and he let you down.
19:30I thought you'd hate me.
19:33Well, we all make mistakes, Cass.
19:40It sounded pretty heavy. Anything could have happened.
19:42But it didn't.
19:43Jack, you could have been hurt.
19:44You'd talk too much.
19:49Didn't you hear that?
19:50What?
19:51The door?
19:53Uh, yeah.
19:54I was just trying to ignore it.
20:05G'day, senior.
20:06You're stuffed up today.
20:08How could you get the address wrong?
20:10It was noisy.
20:11I thought they said...
20:12If you don't hear a radio message clearly,
20:14you get them to repeat it.
20:15You know that?
20:16Yeah, I'm sorry.
20:18Sloppy work, Jack.
20:19I won't put it in the report,
20:20but smarten up your ideas.
20:28It's your hearing, isn't it?
20:30No.
20:31You still can't hear in that ear.
20:32It's getting better.
20:33What were you thinking, lying about it?
20:36I wanted to go back to work.
20:37I don't...
20:37Jack, you can't hear.
20:38You're putting people's lives in danger.
20:40No, I'm not.
20:40Yes, you are.
20:41Today, when you stuffed up the address,
20:42the other night when Rick got bashed...
20:44Martha, we don't even...
20:44Someone could die next.
20:46Go after your boss, tell him the problem.
20:48I can't.
20:49Then I will.
20:49No.
20:50You've got to keep this to yourself.
20:51No way, Jack.
20:52Look, if they find out that I went back to work
20:54knowing I had a hearing problem,
20:55it'll be the end of my career.
20:57You asked me for a favour this morning,
20:59and I'm asking you for one.
21:01You've got to keep this to yourself.
21:13It's suddenly clear.
21:16I will always lead you here.
21:21Hold me in your arms.
21:23Don't let me go.
21:25I want to stay forever.
21:29I want to stay forever.
21:30Closer each day.
21:33Home and away.
21:37Forever.
21:39Don't let you do.
21:39Don't let me go.
21:39All I know.
21:40You lost your fortune.
21:41I don't know.
21:41I thought you were...
21:41You lost my dream.
