00:03You've been on the council for, what, ten years now?
00:06Don't you think that's enough?
00:07What the hell are you talking about?
00:11This Green resigned.
00:13I thought they'd have to carry him out in his coffin.
00:14This is the next best thing, mate.
00:16Now they can clear the decks and get somebody in there
00:18who really has the best interest of the Bay of Art.
00:21Now, I want a lot more of these.
00:22Do you think you can handle that?
00:24I'll talk to you soon, OK?
00:37You know we belong together
00:42You and I forever and ever
00:46No matter where you are
00:51You're my guiding star
00:54You're my guiding star
00:57Hold me in your arms
00:59Don't let me go
01:01I want to stay forever
01:05Closer each day
01:08Home and away
01:15You need to rest?
01:17Why, I don't want to suffer any side effects.
01:19You're puffing.
01:20It's the attitude.
01:21Come on, get to bed.
01:23It's an order.
01:28Listen, what are we going to tell the kids?
01:31I was kind of hoping you might be ready to tell them the truth.
01:34Not yet.
01:35You know, I think they might take it a whole lot better than you think.
01:39Well, while the chemo's going well and there's no obvious side effects, I just don't see the point in worrying
01:44them.
01:45I just think that they already know something's up.
01:48Well, we both remember how to stress Cassie got when she lost her grandmother and I just don't want to
01:52upset her until we have to.
01:54Yeah, well, I'm thinking about you, too.
01:56I'm OK.
01:58We've just got to stay positive, OK?
02:11Sharing a milkshake, it must be love.
02:13No, he's just too tight to buy one of his own.
02:15Shouldn't you go halves now that you're a couple again?
02:17How did you know that?
02:18Hello, I'm the one that got you two together.
02:20Or is it how?
02:21Oh, trust me, you don't want to know.
02:23So do you guys want to hang out?
02:24Yeah, sure.
02:25You can go and do that, please.
02:26Sure.
02:26Cool.
02:28Oh, you'll never believe what Madge Wilkins just told me.
02:32Len Green's wife has left him.
02:34No kidding?
02:35Yeah, the reason that he quit as mayor was that he was exposed as a philanthropist.
02:40A what?
02:40He'd been caught cheating with a vixen half his age.
02:43Oh, you mean a philanderer.
02:44Yeah, well, that's what I said, a philatelist.
02:46You could have knocked me over with a feather.
02:48The mayor, for heaven's sake, a respectable member of the community.
02:52Who'd have thought he'd be gallivanting around with a floozy?
02:54Where have you been all your life, Colleen?
02:57Beg your pardon?
02:58Well, Len Green's been with half the sheilas in this town.
03:01Oh, I think he must be mistaken.
03:02No, he's been chasing skirt for years.
03:04He's never looked twice in my direction.
03:09Look, if you've finished gossiping, what about a refill, eh?
03:12I suppose I'll be run off my feet again.
03:14Doesn't look like Irene's shown up.
03:16I'll give her a break.
03:17You know, she's entitled to be late every now and again.
03:19It's getting to be a habit.
03:20Ever since that break-in, she'd been away with the pixies.
03:38What now?
03:42Coming.
03:48Good morning.
03:49I heard you were back in town.
03:50Would you mind if I come in?
03:51As a matter of fact, I'm on my way to...
03:53I won't take too much of your time.
03:55I was actually hoping to find Tasha.
03:57Why?
03:58Well, with respect, that's none of your business.
03:59Well, with respect, she doesn't live here anymore
04:02and I'll be damned if I'm going to tell you where she does live.
04:06I suppose I deserve that.
04:07You deserve to be in the slammer, mate.
04:09Now rack off.
04:11And I thought you, of all people, would understand.
04:14Why's that?
04:15Well, you've made mistakes.
04:17Imagine if no one gave you a second chance.
04:19Josh, on your bike.
04:21And will you leave Tasha out of this?
04:23Otherwise, you'll have me to answer to.
04:25I'd be careful making threats.
04:27They might come back to bite you.
04:30Oh, really?
04:31And what's that supposed to mean?
04:38Anyone home?
04:39Oh, come on in.
04:40Sorry, son, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
04:42Oh, that's OK.
04:42I can't concentrate anyway.
04:44I brought you around a bit of fish for tea.
04:46I caught it this morning.
04:47Oh, thank you, Mr Stewart.
04:51So, are the kids around?
04:53No, no, it's all right.
04:55Flynn's just upstairs resting.
04:56He had some more chemo this morning.
04:58Oh, how'd it go?
04:59Oh, you know, Flynn, he's trying to be strong.
05:01What about you?
05:03Oh, it just feels so unreal.
05:06I mean, not the cancer itself.
05:08We've been around that loads of times.
05:10Yeah, it hasn't been easy, has it?
05:12No.
05:13But the difference is, we always recovered.
05:17We did it tough, but we always got better.
05:22But Flynn's not going to get better,
05:25and I just can't accept that.
05:28The reality is, in a couple of months,
05:31I'm going to lose my husband,
05:35and Pippa's going to lose her father.
05:37He's not going to hold her.
05:38He's not going to see her grow up.
05:41There's nothing I can do.
05:45How are you doing?
05:47I just brought a snap around for tea.
05:50Oh, I wonder what's not.
05:51Hey, do you guys want to listen to some CDs?
05:53Yeah, yeah.
05:53Oh, you've got to give us a fake around.
05:55These guys are amazing.
06:02Oh, how did Sally like the fish?
06:05Eh?
06:05The one you took over.
06:07Oh, oh, good.
06:09Don't suppose you've seen Irene on your travels?
06:12Oh, that's charming, that is.
06:15You talking to yourself again, Colleen?
06:17Alf just ignored me.
06:18Should be used to that by now.
06:20Oh, where have you been?
06:22We're expecting a busload of hungry tourists,
06:24and you choose today of all days to be late.
06:27I've been slaving away for hours,
06:29making breakfast, serving customers,
06:31and not a peep out of you.
06:32Why didn't you ring?
06:34Since when do I have to answer to you, Colleen?
06:36I own this flippin' joint.
06:38If I want to be late, I will.
06:41Now, clean this place up.
06:42It's like a pigsty.
06:44Why?
06:45Now!
06:46Will you be walking out the door?
06:52No, no olives this time.
06:54No olives every time.
06:55You can pick them up if you don't want them.
06:56Hey, do you guys have any anchovies?
06:57Oh, how can you eat those things?
06:59In the pantry, mate.
07:00Thanks.
07:02You want some pizza, Sal?
07:04No, thanks.
07:05What about Flynn?
07:06No, I don't think so.
07:08Where is he anyway?
07:09He's just upstairs having a rest.
07:12At this time of day?
07:13Is he alright?
07:14Yeah, it's fine.
07:16Are you sure?
07:17I notice he hasn't been doing his morning runs.
07:20Is he still upset about his turn from the hospital dying?
07:23Oh, yeah, I heard about that, Dr. Free.
07:25Isn't it awful you never think about doctors dying?
07:28Well, you don't.
07:29Doctors are, like, meant to be invincible.
07:31You never expect anything to happen to them.
07:33Do you think that's all this, Sal?
07:36Oh, I don't know.
07:38Look, Sal, if there's some other problem, you know you can tell it.
07:40I said I don't know, Rick.
07:44I've got to go out.
07:45Make sure you clean that up.
07:50Sal didn't want to say.
07:51She shouldn't have just said.
07:53We...
07:54Anyway, what do you want to do now?
07:56Pull?
07:57No, I'm sick of pull.
07:59How about we play the pennies?
08:00Yeah, I really don't feel like it.
08:03Then what?
08:04I guess we could go for a walk.
08:06We might as well.
08:07There's nothing else to do.
08:09You could help me out, if you like.
08:11Josh West.
08:13I'm looking for a couple of people to help me out.
08:15Paid, of course.
08:16Doing what?
08:18This has got to be the easiest money I've ever made.
08:20Yeah, who is this guy?
08:22I don't know.
08:22His name's kind of familiar, but who cares?
08:24He gave us cash.
08:26What are you kids up there?
08:28Oh, we're just hanging up posters, Mr. Stewart.
08:30Well, you can't just bang them up anywhere at all, you know.
08:33Oh, we thought it was okay.
08:34And some guy paid us.
08:35Oh, yeah?
08:36Who was that?
08:36This guy.
08:47And I agree with you entirely.
08:49Josh West.
08:50How did you?
08:51Nice to meet you.
08:52You know, what I want for this wonderful place is quite simple.
08:55I want to improve the quality of life
08:56by restoring old-fashioned values and principles
08:59and to put an end to crime
09:00that's been happening in this place for the past year or so.
09:03Now, if you don't mind,
09:04I'd like to invite all of you wonderful people
09:07to have a complimentary drink at the bar.
09:09On me.
09:11Josh West, the mayor, by the way.
09:15How did you go?
09:16Not so great.
09:17We can't take this.
09:18What happened?
09:20Mr. Stewart happened.
09:22If he thinks he can waltz back into town
09:24and just take over,
09:25he's got another thing coming.
09:26But taking down all these posters,
09:28won't you get into trouble?
09:29Look, he's going to vote for a crook like that anyway,
09:31particularly after what he did last time.
09:33Well, sometimes you have to forgive and forget.
09:35Yeah, since when have you been on his team?
09:37Since he reimbursed her for a mobile home.
09:39He paid you off.
09:41Well, it surprised me too,
09:42but maybe he's seen the error of his ways.
09:45Yes, and maybe there's a squadron of pigs
09:47standing by for take-off.
09:48Look, if he's sucking up to you
09:50and splashing money around,
09:51you can be sure that he is up to something.
09:54Yeah, it's funny, you know, isn't it?
09:55Josh West arrives back in town
09:57and Len Green resigns.
09:58What's funny about it?
10:00Oh, Colin, get with the program.
10:01Do we have to spell it out for you, woman?
10:02Are you suggesting something fishy's going on?
10:04When Josh West is involved,
10:06it's never just coincidence.
10:08Well, say what you will,
10:09but after the scandalous behaviour of Mayor Green,
10:12I'd be quite happy to see some fresh blood on the council.
10:15Thank you, Colleen.
10:16It's good to have your support.
10:18Unlike some others I could mention
10:19who have unfortunately decided to play dirty tricks.
10:24Those are mine,
10:24and I'd be well within my rights
10:26to have you charged with theft.
10:27They were defacing public property.
10:29Come on, Alf, let's not have a slanging match here.
10:32Why don't we just let bygones be bygones?
10:34I've heard enough.
10:35Me too.
10:37Get out before I throw you out.
10:39I'm just trying to do something good for this town.
10:41You heard the lady.
10:42On your bike.
10:45Fine.
10:48So help me, if he comes back in here again,
10:50I'll have him thrown out of town himself.
10:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:53Not until we find out what he's really up to.
10:57We've been right.
10:57Something is going on.
10:58Yeah, it feels a bearing bad himself.
11:00It's so weird.
11:00Do you think they're having problems again?
11:03Well, whenever we catch them together,
11:05they go quiet,
11:05like we've just walked in on them
11:06talking about something really important.
11:08Yeah, but it's not like we've seen them fighting.
11:10Yeah, but just because we haven't seen it
11:12doesn't mean they're not.
11:16G'day.
11:16Hey.
11:17Hey.
11:18Listen, guys, I'm sorry about before.
11:20Oh, that's okay.
11:22Obviously scared off Matilda and Lucas.
11:24No.
11:25No, they're on the way out.
11:26Listen, Stella, are you feeling okay?
11:30Yeah, yeah, I'm just, I'm overtired.
11:32Too many things to do, not enough hours in the day.
11:35Can we do anything to help?
11:36No, it's all good.
11:38I'm just going to go and check if Flynn needs anything.
11:44Even though Mr. Stewart tore down all the posters,
11:46Mr. West insisted on penis.
11:48Said it wasn't our fault.
11:49Oh, that's very decent of him.
11:50Cheap labor, you mean?
11:5120 bucks is a drop in the ocean, are you?
11:54Well, we're going to have to do more than rip down a few posters.
11:57Josh West has got the council eating out of his hand.
11:59He's a very charming man.
12:01Yeah, when he isn't ripping people off.
12:03You know, we're going to have to do something to stop him.
12:05Well, the only way to do that is to take him on.
12:07You should have a shot, Mr. Stewart.
12:09Me?
12:09Yeah, you should run for office.
12:11Oh, no, mate.
12:11I had a crack at it once before.
12:13I'm not cut out for it.
12:14Oh, come on, Alf.
12:15You've got to give it a go.
12:16There's been dodgy dillon and corruption on that council for years.
12:19You add West into the mix.
12:21God help us all.
12:22Yeah, it sounds like a good opportunity for someone with an open and honest approach to government.
12:26Vote one, Alf, Stuart.
12:27And we'll put up your posters for free.
12:38I suggest you take your hostility out on the equipment.
12:42You look like you could do with a workout.
12:44You better keep pretty fit yourself, because I'm going to take you on.
12:47I'm running for mayor.
12:50What are you doing that for?
12:52To stop you getting your grubby hands on this community.
12:55Look, Alf, what can I do to convince you that I'm genuine?
12:58You can leave town.
13:01I wish you'd be my ally.
13:02You know, together we could do great things for this place.
13:04You're kidding, aren't you?
13:06Do you think I'd let the Stuart name become associated with a grub like you?
13:10You might have lived here all your life, but all that proves is that you're complacent.
13:13It's quite obvious.
13:14The only reason you're throwing your hat into the ring is because you want to settle a score with me.
13:18What this town needs is someone who's committed and passionate about being on the council,
13:22not some petty-minded local with a chip on his shoulder.
13:24Passionate.
13:25I'll tell you about passion, young fella.
13:27This town is my passion, and there's no way no other man I'm going to let it go to the
13:31dogs.
13:53Well, I let him have it.
13:55You knocked his block off?
13:56No, but I thought about it.
13:58You would have come off second best if you'd tried.
14:00By Joshua, he's a much younger man.
14:02Do you know what your Joshua called me?
14:05A petty-minded local.
14:07Nothing would surprise me when it comes to that rat.
14:09He said I had no passion for this town.
14:12Well, I'll show him how much flame and passion I've got.
14:14I'm going to put everything I've got into winning this election,
14:16and I tell you what, when I do, I'll have great pleasure in sending your new best friend on his
14:21way.
14:21If you need any help with your campaign, Mr Stewart.
14:24This could get pretty grubby, mate.
14:25We don't want the wrong man on the job.
14:27You sure you want to get involved in something like this?
14:29It won't hurt having youth on your side.
14:31I mean, it'll probably even improve your image.
14:33I wasn't aware my image needed improving.
14:36Well, politics isn't only about policies.
14:38It's about perception.
14:39He gets straight A's for political studies.
14:41Oh.
14:42Oh, right.
14:43Well, um, let's get us some brain food and we get on with it, eh?
14:47Colleen, could I have three of your very best chocolate chip muffins?
14:50Oh, I'm sorry.
14:51We've run out.
14:52They only sent half the order.
14:54Well, why didn't you phone Marlene Wimp?
14:55I haven't had time.
14:57Well, Colleen, you're supposed to make time.
14:59Oh, that's right.
15:00Blame me for everything.
15:02No, if you spend less time whinging and more time working, none of this would be happy.
15:09Irene!
15:10Oh, dear.
15:19I just shouldn't be taking my frustrations out on the kids.
15:23I feel awful.
15:25Well, you seem to have smooth things over.
15:27Yeah, this time.
15:33Flynn Sorders.
15:37Colleen, slow down.
15:38I can't hear you.
15:39What happened?
15:43Okay, look.
15:44I'll be right there.
15:46All right.
15:47You'll be right where?
15:49Irene's collapsed at the diner.
15:51No, you can't go.
15:52I'll call her an ambulance.
15:53No, Sally, really.
15:53You need to stay here and rest.
15:55Sal, I'm fine.
15:56I'll be okay.
16:01How long have you been having these headaches?
16:03A few days now.
16:05You taking anything for them?
16:06Yeah.
16:07Please.
16:09That's pretty powerful stuff.
16:11How many of these are you taking?
16:12Mum, two every four hours.
16:15Well, that should be okay.
16:17Yeah, except that they're not really working, so sometimes I take more.
16:21Irene.
16:22Well, what am I supposed to do?
16:24The pain won't go away.
16:26Have you got any idea what's causing it?
16:28Yeah.
16:29I'm a nervous wreck and I'm dog-tired.
16:31Here you go.
16:32Thanks, love.
16:36I haven't been sleeping properly, not since the break-in.
16:39I'm up and down all night like a yo-yo.
16:41You're suffering from sleep deprivation.
16:43No wonder she's been so great.
16:45Well, to be honest, I've been popping a few pills for that, too.
16:48What?
16:49Oh, no wonder you've killed her with a cocktail like that and your sister.
16:52Well, then you've got to give me something else.
16:55Well, no, not until you've had a proper check-up.
16:57Well, can I still keep taking my headache tablets?
17:01You can take them, but doxylamine succinate causes drowsiness,
17:04so no more than a required dose and no more than eight in a 24-hour period.
17:09Okay.
17:09Don't mix your medications.
17:11No, I'm not. I promise.
17:12Take it easy.
17:14Thanks for coming, Doc.
17:17Colleen was on the blow before I could stop her.
17:21Are you okay?
17:22Yeah, it's just something about this place it must be catching.
17:26Do you want to look, mate?
17:38What's your hand going on?
17:40Oh, it's okay. They just hit me.
17:43Let's get you changed and back in the bed.
17:45Just give me a minute.
17:47I think I can prescribe me a different anti-medic next time.
17:49I'm going to go in.
17:52What's this, Al?
17:53Not yet.
17:55Hold your way back.
18:02Do you feel any better?
18:04Do I look any better?
18:06Don't get snappy with me. I'm only asking.
18:09I'm sorry, love.
18:10It's just I'm at the end of my tether with this headache.
18:13I feel like cutting my flipping head off.
18:16Look, I know I'm only the hired help,
18:18but it's time to make an executive decision.
18:21Go home.
18:22She's right, you know.
18:23You don't look too good.
18:24Look, I can't leave you with all of this stuff.
18:26I can manage.
18:27That's not what you said before.
18:28I'm saying it now.
18:30You can't neglect your health.
18:31Go home.
18:32Put your feet up.
18:33All right, all right, all right.
18:34You're twisting me on.
18:35Come on.
18:36I'll give you a lift.
18:37Oh, love.
18:37Look, I'm not completely written off.
18:40I can find my own way, I'm famous.
18:42Mr. Stewart.
18:44Yeah, I'm back, guys.
18:46Colleen, could you give us three of those muffins?
18:48Anything will do.
18:48We need to talk about your vision for the bay.
18:51Vision?
18:52You know, the things that you want to do
18:53to make this a better place to live.
18:55Well, I thought it was already a pretty good place to live.
18:58Well, what's your platform then?
18:59Are you in favour of things like
19:01improving school facilities, job creation,
19:03protecting the environment?
19:04Yeah, they all sound pretty good to me.
19:06Well, to win votes,
19:06you're going to have to convince the electorate
19:08that you're the man for the job.
19:09That's the easy part.
19:10Everyone in town respects Alf Stewart.
19:12He'll win for sure.
19:13Oh, don't underestimate Josh West.
19:15I'll tell you what,
19:16he'll have a few tricks up his sleeve.
19:18You mean dirty tricks?
19:20Well, you can never take him at face value.
19:22He's always got a hidden agenda.
19:24Well, I eliminated the former mayor,
19:26but now one of the locals has decided to run against me.
19:29Is that a problem?
19:30I know how to deal with him.
19:32You'd better.
19:33There's a lot riding on this.
19:34He's a small-town hick.
19:36With a hometown advantage.
19:39Don't underestimate the appeal of the reformed sinner.
19:42Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to for a minute.
19:46Look, when I'm elected mayor,
19:47we'll push ahead with our plans.
19:50This town's not going to know what hit it.
19:56Why won't they tell us what's going on?
19:59They don't want to worry us.
20:01Well, I'm worrying more not knowing.
20:03Okay, well,
20:04maybe it's something really personal.
20:06Well, it might be,
20:07but I still think we should ask.
20:13Sal.
20:16Listen.
20:17We heard Flynn vomiting,
20:19and we just want to know what's wrong with him.
20:22Oh, he's fine.
20:23It's just something he ate.
20:24Oh, we know that it's more than that.
20:27Please tell us what's going on.
20:28Yeah, we're family.
20:29We can help.
20:29Tell us, please.
20:31You know, the way you can help
20:32is if you don't worry yourself about it.
20:34It's okay, Sal.
20:35You're right.
20:36They deserve to know.
20:37Know what?
20:39Um, you better take a seat, guys.
20:41There's something I have to tell you.
20:45You're tuned in to Gabby Creek FM,
20:47playing non-stop hits up and down the coast.
20:49Now, folks, it's time for our
20:51secret sound segment,
20:53where we're giving you the chance to win.
21:00Oh.
21:03Oh, my God.
21:05Check out the hot new Summer Bay clothing range
21:07available from selected Kmart stores.
21:10I still can't believe it.
21:12It's just the biggest shock.
21:14I can't handle watching him.
21:18Stop saying it again.
21:20It's not true.
21:21And who is trying to hurt one of their friends?
21:24Irene, can you hear me?
21:26Home and away tomorrow.
21:27My memory really gets on.
21:29Bye.
21:29Bye.
