Short filmTranscript
00:00I've been on it, just to know, you were there, you were there, hold me in your arms, don't
00:10let me go, I want to stay forever, closer each day, home and away.
00:23Come on David, you know me.
00:26If I saw Abigail on the road with a flat tyre, what do you reckon I'd do?
00:29My personal opinions are irrelevant.
00:32Come on, I'd pull up to see if I could help her, I wouldn't run her over and take off
00:36like
00:36some low-life drug.
00:38Told you he was guilty?
00:39No, he's distressed.
00:40I'm surprised you're not choosing to cooperate.
00:43And I'm surprised you lot are jumping to conclusions so quickly.
00:45You'll get your keys back the minute forensics are finished.
00:48This is your best chance to clear your name.
00:51We've made a breakthrough in the case and we know who the driver was.
00:53Richie, Richie.
00:54It's Alf Stewart.
00:55We haven't even created all of the evidence yet.
00:57If you want to continue to wear that uniform, then you will stop giving out information
01:01about this case.
01:02Am I clear?
01:03The minute you found out about the accident, you thought it was me.
01:06Why?
01:07You have been forgetting important things lately.
01:09If you really think nothing happened, then we have nothing to worry about, do we?
01:14Well, uh, have a go.
01:15I've been waiting for you.
01:17Good morning, Mr Stewart.
01:18I was hoping we could have a good chat.
01:23Don't talk to me, talk to me.
01:26I don't want to hear it.
01:28I don't want to hear it.
01:31Don't mess with me, mess with me.
01:33I don't want to hear it.
01:35I don't want to hear it.
01:37I don't want to leave it.
01:39Good morning, buddy.
01:40I could join you next time.
01:41Uh, I just said we, um, we should go for a run together sometime.
01:47Yeah, okay.
01:49You don't like me much, do you?
01:51Excuse me?
01:53Hmm?
01:54No, it's not about me liking you.
01:55We just work together.
01:57Right.
01:59Got it.
02:03I just need to know, did you see the other driver or not?
02:07No, it all happened really quickly and it was dark.
02:09And then by the time I looked up, they'd already driven off.
02:12Did they slow down?
02:13No.
02:14Look, I already told all of this to the police, but I really need to get to work.
02:18Love, the, uh, the thing is, if I saw you out there on the road with a flat tire, I
02:24would have stopped.
02:25I never said it was you, though.
02:26No, but the police think it was me.
02:28I need you to be really sure about what happened.
02:30I don't, I don't know what happened.
02:32I just saw a red ute.
02:33Well, red utes are a dime a dozen.
02:35Oh, what make was it?
02:36I don't know.
02:38Well, was it a big one with four-wheel drive or was it something smaller?
02:41I don't know.
02:42I told you it happened so fast.
02:43Well, you need to try harder.
02:44This is my life.
02:46Mr. Stewart, that's enough.
02:48I'm just asking her some questions.
02:49No, you're harassing her.
02:56I'm sorry, love.
02:56I didn't mean to get carried away.
02:59But I'll go.
03:00Good idea.
03:03Hey, you okay?
03:06Yeah.
03:08Yeah, I'm fine.
03:10Sorry.
03:14Was I dreaming or did we actually finish our song last night?
03:17No, you weren't dreaming.
03:18I don't want to speak to you soon.
03:20But, I mean, I think that it is an absolute...
03:23Smash?
03:24You said that about 50 times.
03:26I thought, didn't you?
03:27In the car, studio, the guy delivering the takeaway.
03:30What?
03:30You don't agree?
03:31No, no, I agree.
03:32I think it's special.
03:34Yeah, it was really nice to play music with you again.
03:37And we got an absolute smash out of it.
03:40Stop saying that.
03:42Smash.
03:46You don't think we're getting ahead of ourselves, do you?
03:47No, not at all.
03:48But, I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion.
03:52Yeah.
03:52We're sunny when you need a good time to move out.
03:55Well, Cash.
03:55Cash will be home soon.
03:56No, we're not asking Cash.
03:57Why not?
03:58Because he will like it, whether it's good or not.
04:00No, he won't.
04:01He can be totally objective.
04:03No, he can't.
04:03Not with you.
04:05Here we go.
04:08What's this for?
04:09It's a thank you for sticking up for me.
04:12Hey, no, I'm just glad I got here when I did.
04:15You know, he shouldn't be speaking to you like that.
04:16Look, Alf didn't mean any harm.
04:18He just wants to know what's going on.
04:21He already knows, Abby.
04:22He's the one who did it.
04:24Yeah, maybe.
04:26I don't know.
04:26He just seemed so sure that he wasn't.
04:28Pretty hard to believe it could have been anyone else.
04:30All the evidence fits.
04:32Hey.
04:34I won't let him get away with it.
04:36I've got your back.
04:38Promise.
04:41And I'll stay here in case he comes back.
04:43As long as you need.
04:44Well, I thought that you were going into work this morning.
04:46I was.
04:47I did.
04:47The side had booted me out.
04:49I don't know.
04:49Didn't want me there on my day off, I guess.
04:51What?
04:52Why not?
04:52Beats me.
04:53Bosses want their staff to work more, right?
04:55Not less.
04:56And then maybe he's got a problem with me.
04:58No.
04:59No, Cash does.
05:01Yeah, well, I wouldn't worry about Cash.
05:02No, you should have seen him when I asked if he wanted the running button.
05:05The guy hates me.
05:06Well, hey.
05:07It's his loss.
05:09He doesn't marry you like I do.
05:10And if you did, he thinks you're amazing.
05:13You know, I think you're pretty special, too.
05:16Oh, you think I'm special?
05:18I do.
05:18Really?
05:19Yeah.
05:19How special?
05:20I don't know.
05:21I'm pretty special.
05:29You all right?
05:31Yeah, yeah.
05:32I was just thinking about Alf and whether and how he's doing this morning.
05:36Well, I don't think he's doing too great.
05:38It's just a horrible situation.
05:40And for Abby, too.
05:42We took out a close call.
05:44I've just been terrified.
05:45When you put it like that, things could have been a lot worse.
05:50Hey, you all right?
05:54Not particularly.
05:55I'll get you some water, man.
05:57Thanks.
06:00I, I, uh, went to ask Abigail about the accident.
06:06Oh, okay.
06:07Why?
06:09Well, I wanted some answers.
06:12I became more a bit strong than the young copper to step in.
06:19I didn't want to upset her.
06:21No, we get that, mate.
06:23I'm sure Abby's just sensitive at the moment, too.
06:26She's a lot worse now, thanks to me.
06:32Maybe.
06:36Maybe you lot are right.
06:40Maybe I am losing my marbles.
06:44Come on, don't you say that, mate.
06:46No.
06:47It's just been a stressful couple of days, Alf.
06:50I'll get you something.
06:57I can't feel it there.
07:02I can't see so clear.
07:06I can't feel it.
07:10So far away from me.
07:16It's brilliant.
07:18It's brilliant, it's brilliant, it's brilliant.
07:22Yes, okay, but do we need to, you know, pull back on the vocals or push up the instrumental?
07:27No, I don't think you need to push up the instrumental.
07:29I think that I could listen to it like that all day.
07:31It's not real feedback.
07:33Eden, there's no constructive criticism there.
07:34Come on, he loves it.
07:36I love it.
07:37I'm sure you do love it.
07:38And thank you, Cash, for being honest about liking your wife's song.
07:42He doesn't trust your opinion.
07:44Right, okay, well, I'll leave you two with that.
07:47I'm going to go visit Tanya.
07:48Oh, give him our love.
07:50It's a great song.
07:52You and I need to talk.
07:53What is your problem with Richie?
07:55I don't have a problem with Richie.
07:56What are you talking about?
07:57Oh, really?
07:57Okay, so you just like running by yourself then?
07:58I do like running by myself.
08:00Eden, do I run on my own or do I run with people?
08:01I run on my own, right?
08:03Richie, do we get a lot of effort with you and you're giving him nothing.
08:05Okay, so we're going to talk about this later.
08:06No, we need to talk about it now.
08:07Cash, come back.
08:08Cash, what has Richie ever done to him?
08:16Hey, Alf, what can I do for you?
08:19I tried sitting on my hands, but I can't stand it.
08:22Your forensic bloke's found anything on my car.
08:25I'm afraid I can't share those things.
08:27Oh, come on, mate, for God's sake.
08:28Put a bloke out of his misery, eh?
08:30Did I hit the girl or not?
08:34Come through.
08:41Have a seat.
08:54What's going on, mate?
08:57Is everyone telling me that I did it?
09:00It's starting to feel like I'm losing my marbles.
09:06You really expect me to believe that your perfect husband,
09:09who tells you everything, by the way,
09:10hasn't spoken to you about his new workmate?
09:12Hmm?
09:12Yes, please.
09:13Okay, he mentioned it briefly, but that was weeks ago.
09:15Anyway, tell me about you.
09:16You got hurt and I haven't seen you since you got hit by a car.
09:18No, I am fine.
09:19Thank you for asking.
09:20Stop changing the subject.
09:21Um, good luck with this.
09:22I'm off to get an honest opinion about our soul.
09:24Aha.
09:25See, that is what I want.
09:26Just some simple playing honesty.
09:27Okay, okay.
09:28The guy is not Cash's favourite person.
09:30Why not?
09:31It's just there's something about him
09:32that just rubs him in the wrong way.
09:33That's all.
09:35Well, that's just great.
09:36Don't worry about it, okay?
09:37Cash is a senior officer.
09:38Richie's a junior.
09:39They're from different worlds.
09:40It happens.
09:41Except that Richie's my boyfriend.
09:42Whoa, hang on.
09:43Are we calling me your boyfriend now?
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:47Oh, gosh.
09:48I want Cash to like him.
09:49When have you ever cared what Cash thinks?
09:51I just want Cash to give him a chance.
09:53Is that too much to ask for?
09:54No.
09:55No, no, it's not.
09:57So you'll talk to him?
09:59I might even be able to do better than that.
10:05I spoke with forensics.
10:07They had an urgent job come in overnight
10:09and they're only just starting on your car now.
10:12So I'm sorry I don't have any more to give you.
10:15I've been driving for over 60 years.
10:18I just don't understand how I could hit somebody
10:22and not know about it.
10:23The investigation is only in the early stages
10:26until we have some definitive evidence.
10:29I'm not going to form an opinion either way.
10:31That's all very well for you.
10:34In the meantime, I'm stuck in limbo.
10:37I know.
10:37Are you frustrated?
10:39Let's just wait to see what forensics comes back with.
10:42You could be tying yourself up with knots over nothing.
10:47Hey.
10:48How's the time here?
10:49It's good.
10:51Thinking about sending him home soon.
10:52Really?
10:53That's great.
10:55You feeling all right?
10:56Yeah.
10:57Why?
10:58Because that's a very big chicken.
10:59Mm.
11:00You certainly hate cooking.
11:01Hate is a very strong word.
11:03I mean, it doesn't hurt to try new things, does it?
11:05No, it doesn't.
11:07Oh.
11:08I'm actually really happy to be having lunch with you
11:10because I've missed you.
11:11Oh, so I've been lonely while I've been recording.
11:13I've been lonely.
11:14Okay.
11:15Can we just talk about work?
11:17Your work?
11:18Why?
11:19More specifically, your workmate, Richie.
11:22No.
11:22No, no, no.
11:23Abby would really appreciate it if you could just get along.
11:25Why do I have to keep talking about this guy?
11:30Why?
11:31Why are there four settings at the table?
11:33We're here.
11:37Play nice.
11:41For the hostess, I hope she likes chocolate.
11:44I do, as does Cash.
11:46I love chocolate.
11:48Cheers for having me, mate.
11:49My pleasure.
11:51How great is this place, huh?
11:54Come on.
11:55What can we get you?
11:57What?
12:00Hey, what's the big emergency?
12:02I was hoping you could help me out.
12:04With what?
12:05With our song, the one Eden and I have been working on.
12:07Oh, it's finished.
12:09Yeah, it is.
12:10And we need an honest opinion.
12:12I would be honoured to listen to it.
12:15Okay.
12:15No platitudes, though.
12:17I don't want you to spare our feelings.
12:19We need the truth.
12:20Gotcha.
12:20I won't hold back.
12:21And just remember that this is the first time Eden and I have worked together outside a lyric.
12:25You know, I don't have to listen to it if it's not ready, man.
12:28No, no, I am.
12:29Okay.
12:30So stop stalling.
12:32Let me listen.
12:36I wake in a world that I don't know.
12:41Embers of me.
12:44I'm so slow, lost in a shadow.
12:48What have I become?
12:51And I know there's a word for how I'm feeling.
12:59And I can feel it there.
13:03I can see so.
13:07I can feel it.
13:11So far away from me.
13:20It's been a day's coming.
13:23The world's gonna change.
13:26We don't go dancing.
13:29So, what'd you think?
13:33Yeah, you nailed it.
13:35For real?
13:36Yeah, for real.
13:38So, what's wrong with it?
13:41I knew you were doing it tough, but when I listened to that song, I...
13:47I didn't know it got that bad.
13:50Yeah, it wasn't a walk in the park.
13:53Even now, it's surreal.
13:57I mean, that song, it just captures it better than I can say.
14:02That's a punch.
14:07When you and Eden put your heads together, you're unstoppable.
14:13You know, you're pretty special.
14:15Eden doesn't cook for just anyone.
14:16Well, a full compliment to the chef.
14:18It's delish.
14:20Oh.
14:23Did Abby tell you that we're gonna be auntie soon?
14:26Wow.
14:27Hey, that's a lucky kid.
14:29Mm-hmm.
14:29Yeah, I've already started collecting ideas for Mac's baby shower.
14:32Oh, baby shower.
14:33Does Mac know about this?
14:34Oh, not yet, no.
14:35Oh.
14:36Prepare yourself.
14:37Abby fancies herself a little bit of an event planner.
14:39Hey, I didn't hear either of you complaining about your hand-flash-box party.
14:43In fact, I recall you saying that you both loved it.
14:45That is true.
14:46That is true.
14:47It was very fun, wasn't it, babe?
14:48Yep.
14:48Yeah, I had a good time in the end.
14:50So, um, Richie, has Cash told you why he became a police officer?
14:54No, actually.
14:56I'd love to hear about it.
14:58Yeah.
14:58Uh, so my foster father was a cop.
15:08What about you?
15:09Why did you sign up?
15:11Um, I like being part of a team, you know, working with your mates, keeping the streets
15:15safe.
15:16It's important to me.
15:18Plus, my mum is a massive diehard.
15:21Oh.
15:22I mean, I grew up watching all the cop movies from the 90s, you know?
15:28Yeah, yeah.
15:30Really?
15:31Yeah, yeah.
15:32It's so good.
15:33No, sorry.
15:34It's just that makes so much sense.
15:35It's so obvious.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Yeah.
15:38Oh, no.
15:39I've got to get to my shift.
15:40Thanks so much, my mum.
15:43Oh, I'll see you there.
15:44Yeah.
15:50I can't do it.
15:52I can't spend one more shift with that guy.
15:54Don't you think you're being overdramatic?
15:56Sarge, I have genuine concerns that I'm going to headbutt him.
16:01Look, he's a little overenthusiastic.
16:04You know he's dating Abigail now?
16:05So not only is he in my workplace, he's in my home.
16:09Do you understand that?
16:10He's everywhere.
16:11Can we please just do something about adjusting the roster?
16:12Overcoming obstacles is part of being a police officer, so...
16:18Hello?
16:19Got us a double shot to help us through the night shift.
16:21And a decaf for you, Sarge.
16:23Thank you, Richie.
16:24Very kind of you.
16:26Hey, how good was lunch?
16:28So I've been thinking.
16:29Since Abby and Eden like hanging out,
16:31next time we should take them to the movies.
16:32Next time?
16:34You're not into movies.
16:36No worries.
16:36I'll think of something else.
16:38Prisoner.
16:39Whilst we're here, let's just focus on work.
16:42Got it.
16:43No socialising on the clock.
16:44Good.
16:46Sarge, has that forensics report for Mrs Stewart's hue come through?
16:50The report just came through.
16:51I'm looking at it now.
16:54And?
16:56I need to go and talk day off.
16:59Can I come?
17:00No, you can't.
17:01Sarge, back soon.
17:15Are you all right?
17:16Don't get up for me.
17:17I'll get up whenever I still can.
17:19I take it this isn't a social visit.
17:22No.
17:24You'll be pleased to know forensics have cleared your vehicle.
17:28Oh.
17:29So, uh, I'm in the clear.
17:32The car's in the driveway.
17:35Heh.
17:36I knew I should have listened to my gut and knocked all that rubbish you blokes were talking.
17:40That's why I told you to wait for the results before getting too worried.
17:44You know, I'm just pleased the case is closed and people can start saying I'm not guilty.
17:51There's no evidence pointing to your involvement, but the case isn't close.
17:55So, uh, am I off the hook or not?
17:59Unless new evidence comes to light, you've got nothing to worry about.
18:03What you're saying is you still can't tell me that I didn't do it.
18:07That's correct.
18:08We can't prove it either way.
18:09There's still good news, Alf.
18:12Take the win.
18:21You are officially my favourite sister.
18:23Oh, gee, thanks.
18:25Not that it helped.
18:26No, I think it did.
18:27Well, in that case, I am pleased to be of service.
18:31Hmm.
18:31There's just one more thing.
18:33Yes.
18:34Hmm?
18:35You want my chocolates now, too.
18:37Okay.
18:38Yes.
18:44Stingy.
18:47I love you.
18:48I love you.
18:48Well, what did I miss here?
18:49Oh, it's clean-up time.
18:50Bye-bye.
18:52Oh, cheers.
18:53Yeah?
18:54She seems in a better mood than before.
18:56Yes, disaster averted, for now at least.
18:58How'd you go?
18:59Did you get that objective opinion you were after?
19:01I did.
19:02Nice.
19:02I, uh, played Justin, our song.
19:05Oh.
19:06Okay, what did he say?
19:07That it's the best he's ever heard us play.
19:09I mean, he's blown away.
19:10Yeah, one question, though.
19:12What are we going to do with it?
19:14You should have heard his song.
19:16It was next level.
19:18Yeah, I'm happy for them.
19:21Kind of expecting a little bit more enthusiasm than that.
19:24Sorry, I'm just worried about Alf.
19:27I saw him at the beach earlier,
19:29and he was just standing there, staring at the water.
19:34He seemed really lost.
19:35Right, I'll check in on him.
19:37Hey!
19:39Any word on the ute?
19:41Yeah, the cops have handed it back to me.
19:43They couldn't find any damage on it,
19:45linking it to the hit-and-run.
19:46Ah, it's great.
19:47I told you.
19:48There was nothing to worry about.
19:49Yeah, it's great.
19:49It means you could put this whole thing behind you.
19:51It's not quite that straightforward.
19:53Even though they couldn't find any evidence to charge me,
19:56according to them,
19:57it still doesn't mean that I didn't do it.
20:00What?
20:00Hang on.
20:01Yes, it does.
20:02No, it doesn't.
20:04It just means they can't prove it.
20:06Right.
20:07So,
20:09I want you to have these.
20:13Did the cops tell you not to drive?
20:15No.
20:17That's my fault.
20:23Everyone telling me that I'm guilty.
20:24When we need family the most.
20:27You can't keep locking me out.
20:28Why do we push them away?
20:30Dad!
20:32Please!
20:34I'm your best, mate.
20:35But I'm worried about you.
20:37You don't know what this is like.
20:38I'm just trying to get better.
20:40You're going to collapse if you keep this up.
20:42I just didn't want you to hurt yourself.
20:43Look at me!
20:44Look!
20:44I'm already hurt.
20:46I'm trying to get better.
20:48I thought my life was over.
20:52Yeah, I get to go to my son's birthday party tomorrow.
20:55Community spirit.
20:56That's what we're about.
20:57Can I bet?
20:59They're the one thing we can all count on.
21:02Our steward is summer bait.
21:03He deserves better than that.
21:06But will it be enough to clear his name?
21:09You might as well arrest me now.
21:11Home and Away.
21:12Weeknights at 7 on 7.
