00:01Jack, are you okay?
00:03I heard Zoe had a gun and you were on the roof and...
00:06It was pretty full on there for a while, but I'm okay, it's all good.
00:08I don't know what I would have done if anything...
00:10It wouldn't have happened and it's not going to happen.
00:12You don't think you can have this wedding that easily, do you?
00:14All you have is really special, Cassie.
00:17We don't need anyone else.
00:20Every time I see you with Rick, I think that makes me feel.
00:24There's no excuse for what you did.
00:26It's the reason I get so crazy.
00:28You can't just throw away everything we have.
00:30Everything that's good, just because of a stupid fight.
00:35Rick already told you it was an accident.
00:37Keep saying it, Cass, and you're going to convince yourself.
00:40Look, I'm not going to get into a fight about this.
00:42Well, it's appear you didn't say that to Matt.
00:43Just stop it, okay? It's none of your business.
00:45Well, it is if the guy's hurting you.
00:47No, he's not. So just leave it alone, Rick, please.
00:57It's not forever and ever.
01:00No matter where you are.
01:04You're my guiding star.
01:09Hold me in your arms.
01:12Don't let me go.
01:14I want to stay forever.
01:18Closer each day.
01:21Home and away.
01:27I loved it, honestly.
01:28But you prefer your bacon and eggs without maple syrup, don't you?
01:31No, no. It was really great.
01:34You're such a liar.
01:35Well, I've got to keep my fiancee happy.
01:38I can't believe I nearly lost you yesterday.
01:41But you didn't, so stop thinking about it.
01:43Yeah, I want to, but I just keep thinking what I would have done if I'd lost you.
01:46The thought of my life without you, it's...
01:48You don't have to worry. I'm not going anywhere.
01:51Still, it makes you think, doesn't it?
01:53How short life can be, how quickly everything can change.
01:57Yeah.
01:58It was a real wake-up call, that's for sure.
02:01You've really got to make the most of every moment you've got.
02:05What?
02:06You're right.
02:07We should make the most of every moment we've got, so why are we waiting?
02:10For?
02:11The wedding!
02:12Why are we waiting for the ceremony when it's what we both want?
02:15Let's just do it. Let's get married. How about this Saturday?
02:18This Saturday? You're crazy.
02:19No, I'm totally serious.
02:21We can't organise a wedding that quickly.
02:23Why not? I don't care about it being fancy.
02:25I just want to marry the man I love.
02:27Yeah, but it's Saturday.
02:29We can do it, Jack. I know we can.
02:31Please.
02:34I reckon you're all out of your minds.
02:36I know at short notice, but I feel like it's the perfect time.
02:38And after everything that's happened with Zoe lately, a massive pay is what everyone needs, right?
02:42So what better excuse than my wedding?
02:44Like I said, rocks in your head.
02:46Is there a reason you're in such a hurry?
02:48What do you mean?
02:49Oh, well, the last couple who sprinted to the altar were Robbie and Tash, and now we all know why.
02:54Oh, Colleen!
02:55Oh, you're headed, Colleen!
02:56Yeah, well, look, I was only saying...
02:58Yeah, well, go and say somewhere else, eh?
03:00I reckon it's a great idea, guys.
03:02So do I. We want to get married, so why not do it now?
03:04Mate, don't you reckon you might run into a few problems trying to organise a wedding at such short notice?
03:09Well, we can do it. We just need a bit of help with the logistics.
03:11It's nothing we can't handle if everyone pitches in.
03:13Well, I think we can work something out.
03:15Yeah, I suppose, if that's what you really want.
03:17It is.
03:19Grinda?
03:20Yeah, alright, I'll help you.
03:22But I still reckon you've all gone crazy.
03:24Oh, don't expect me to argue with that.
03:26Oh, Colleen, we still need you to be involved.
03:28We need all the help we can get.
03:29Oh, really?
03:30Well, why didn't you say so before?
03:33Madge Wilkins will be blue with envy when she finds out that you've asked me to be your wedding planner.
03:38Hm.
03:41Um, you know, I've got to duck out for a sec.
03:43Why?
03:43What's that?
03:45Well, I promised Maddie I'd pick up some study notes from her for school, but I completely forgot.
03:49Can't wait.
03:50No, sorry, I promised her.
03:52But how about we do lunch later on?
03:55Maka, wait until you hear the news, mate.
04:00Cass.
04:01Cass, wait.
04:02Cass, why are you running away?
04:04I'm not running away.
04:06That's not what it looks like.
04:09What do you want?
04:11I want to know why you're still with Maka.
04:14I saw you flinch when he put his arm around you.
04:16How many times do I have to tell you?
04:18Yeah, no, no, you've told me.
04:18He's perfect.
04:20Problem is, I don't believe you.
04:22Well, he treats me really well.
04:24Does he?
04:24He does.
04:25You don't know what you're talking about.
04:26Okay, Cass.
04:26Don't!
04:27Okay, calm down.
04:31Cass, talk to me, I can help.
04:32There's nothing to talk about.
04:35Why are you protecting him?
04:37Why are you hassling me?
04:39Would you please just leave it alone?
04:54I'll take a seat, Dr Armstrong.
04:57I'm on my break, but Jackie will attend to you shortly.
05:00Thank you very much.
05:01Hi, Rachel.
05:02G'day, Ben.
05:03How are you?
05:04Were you shocked to hear about Charlie?
05:06Yeah, I'm okay.
05:07I'm just glad it's all over.
05:09Are you guys having a wedding meeting?
05:11Like you wouldn't believe.
05:14Right, so my team is Beth, Sally, Matilda and Colleen.
05:18And Team Jack is Grandad and Tony.
05:21Boys versus girls.
05:22Doesn't have to be a competition, does it?
05:24No.
05:25How come you get five and we only get three?
05:27Okay, well, how about Lucas?
05:29He'll make four.
05:30Hey, little brother.
05:30Welcome to Team Jack.
05:32What?
05:32Just walked into that one, kiddo.
05:33I called Matilda and she's bringing over some magazines,
05:36some bridal ones, to inspire a few ideas.
05:38We'll start on the reception if you girls want to start on the ceremony.
05:41Hang on a second.
05:42What?
05:42That's way too traditional for me.
05:44I say you guys organise the ceremony and we'll do the reception.
05:48If that's the way you want it.
05:49Yeah, it is.
05:50Time starts now.
06:01What's your job?
06:04Sorry?
06:05For the wedding, aren't you on Jack's team?
06:08What are you talking about?
06:11Are you alright?
06:13A couple weeks ago outside the diner you were going to tell me something about Cassie and
06:16Macca.
06:18Oh, that was nothing.
06:19Did you know she was in hospital yesterday?
06:22What happened?
06:23She had to get stitches because she slipped and fell against the kitchen bench.
06:27What?
06:28She reckons that her and Macca were just having a water fight, but I don't believe it.
06:31And when we got there, there was this really weird vibe.
06:35I think Macca had something to do with it and she's lying to protect him.
06:39So if you know anything...
06:43Matilda, what is going on?
06:44Is he back on drugs?
06:46No.
06:46It was nothing.
06:47Okay?
06:47Forget it.
06:49If it's nothing, why can't you look me in the eye?
06:53Maddie, we're supposed to be her friends.
06:54We're supposed to look out for her if something bad's happening.
06:57If you know something, you've got to tell me.
07:01Macca hit Cassie last week.
07:12Macca?
07:14Macca?
07:48Hey.
07:49Hi.
07:50Did you get your homework sorted with Matilda?
07:52Yeah.
07:53All done.
07:54What's going on?
07:56Nothing.
07:57Are you hiding something?
07:59I'm not.
08:00Yeah, sure.
08:00I can tell.
08:01What's been on your back?
08:04It's personal.
08:04I bet it is.
08:05Come on, show me.
08:06What is it?
08:06No, Macca don't.
08:06Show me, please.
08:07No, stop it.
08:07Look.
08:15It's a thermometer.
08:18It's a pregnancy test.
08:21Seriously?
08:23Yeah, I haven't done it yet, so I'm not sure, but I'm late.
08:28So that's why we're acting so weird this morning.
08:31Wow.
08:34I mean, it's cool.
08:38Cool?
08:39It'd be awesome if you were pregnant, don't you reckon?
08:41Okay, so we didn't plan it, I mean.
08:42But what's the difference if we have a kid now or later?
08:44We're going to be together forever, so what's the if?
08:48I'm a bit young though, don't you think?
08:50Who cares?
08:51Just having a baby doesn't mean you're going to miss out on stuff.
08:54I'll look after you.
08:55Yeah.
08:56Go on.
08:56Keep doing it.
08:57We'll put out if we're going to be parents.
09:09I knew it.
09:10I knew he was hurting her.
09:10Why didn't she say something?
09:12I could have helped her.
09:14I tried to get her to leave him after I hit her the first time, but she was so convinced
09:18that it was just a one-off.
09:19She kept going on about how much he loved her and...
09:22Oh, right.
09:22That's why he hits her, is it?
09:25I'm sorry.
09:25I know I should have said something.
09:27But Cassie made me promise.
09:28She made me think that it was all okay again.
09:30Well, clearly it's not okay.
09:31The guy's belting her and she's too afraid to do anything about it.
09:35That's going to stop.
09:36Oh, Rick, don't do anything stupid.
09:38Why not?
09:38Let's see how he likes it.
09:39Rick, stop.
09:40Violence is already the problem here.
09:42Well, there's not going to be an issue after I'm finished with him.
09:44Are you listening to yourself?
09:45How can you say that it's not alright for him to hit Cassie when you're about to do the
09:49same to him?
09:49Okay, well, what's your solution then?
09:51Not say anything and let him bash her again?
09:54No.
09:54Okay, then what do we do?
09:55We can't go to Sal because Cass will never speak to us again and she'll probably just
09:58go running to Macca.
09:59So what?
10:02I know someone who might help.
10:04Who?
10:06Who the heck?
10:07Who?
10:07Who the heck?
10:34Who the heck?
10:35Are we going to be parents or not?
10:37I'm too nervous to look.
10:44One blue line.
10:46What's that mean?
10:48False alarm.
10:50I'm not pregnant.
10:54Don't worry about it.
10:55There's plenty of time for kids yet.
10:58How's five boys sound?
11:00Five top-notch footy champs.
11:04Seriously, I can't imagine having kids with anyone else.
11:08We'll get there one day.
11:11I love you, Cass.
11:14I love you too.
11:25Why is she letting him do this to her?
11:27She's such a strong person.
11:28Well, a lot of strong women get themselves into these situations, unfortunately.
11:31I think she's too scared to tell him she's leaving him, and that's why she puts up with it.
11:35Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to a question like why somebody would put up with this kind of behaviour.
11:39She might think that Macca really needs her.
11:41She might believe that he can change.
11:42The guy's an idiot.
11:45Well, I'm sorry.
11:46I just don't like the fact that she's going through this by herself.
11:48She doesn't deserve that.
11:49No, I understand.
11:50At least she's got you guys to look out for her, though.
11:53So do you think maybe you can talk to her?
11:55Yeah, we've tried.
11:55She's made it pretty clear.
11:56She doesn't want to listen to us, so...
11:58Well, what I think is that we go to Sally with this.
12:00No, we can't. You promised.
12:02Alright, I'll talk to Cassie.
12:04I can't promise anything, but I'll do what I can.
12:13Hi.
12:13Hi.
12:14Are you looking for Macca?
12:15No, I was actually coming to see you.
12:17Is he around at all?
12:19He's gone to the shops. Why?
12:21I was just wondering if we could have a chat.
12:24Well, I'm just in the middle of a few things, so...
12:26Stitches, Cassie.
12:28How did you know about that?
12:29Well, Rick and Matilda came to see me.
12:32They're very concerned about you and Macca.
12:34Look, whatever they've been telling you, it's not true.
12:38They're your friends, Cassie.
12:39They're concerned about you.
12:40My relationship is none of their business.
12:42And I'm sorry to be rude, but it is none of yours either.
12:45Okay, I'm sorry, Cassie.
12:46I didn't mean to put you on the defensive here.
12:50Uh, what they told me really concerned me as well, a lot.
12:54They said that Macca's been hitting you.
12:56Well, they're wrong, okay?
12:58They don't know what they're talking about.
12:59Cassie, they're concerned about you.
13:02Put yourself in their shoes.
13:03What would you do if you found out one of your friends was being hurt?
13:06Would you just sit back and let it happen?
13:09Look, I know things can't be easy for you right now,
13:12but they don't need to be like this.
13:15Why don't you let me in and we can talk?
13:17Look, I can help you.
13:27Bunions are killing me.
13:28Did we really have to traipse around the entire vineyard
13:31to decide you weren't going to have the reception there?
13:33You have to admit, it was pretty nice, though.
13:35Yeah, except the owner was drunk.
13:37And that's why we've crossed them off the list.
13:38Yes, that and the fact that they're booked out for the next six weeks.
13:41I told you it wasn't going to be easy to organise this by the end of the week.
13:45Oh, have a bit of faith, Colleen.
13:46We've only just started.
13:47And I think I've already decided on one of the venues we saw.
13:49Which one?
13:50Shh, don't give away anything.
13:51What?
13:52So, did you bomb out?
13:54Well, thank you for the vote of confidence.
13:55No, we did great.
13:56As a matter of fact, Alf showed us all the local scenic spots.
13:59And if anyone knows a place for a ceremony, it is hell.
14:02Well, I've been to every flamin' wedding this town's ever seen.
14:06Well, come on, tell us what you're organised.
14:08It's no candida, Deidre.
14:09What, not even a hint?
14:11No, Jack's warned us all to secrecy until he's ready to reveal the master plan.
14:14Yeah, well, you're all going to have to decide in the end, so we might as well compare notes now.
14:19No, if that's the way they want to play it, we'll do the same.
14:22Hey, where have you been? I thought you were on my team.
14:24Um, sorry, I got sidetracked.
14:26And what could possibly be more important than my wedding?
14:28Uh, schoolwork. I needed Rick's brain.
14:30Oh, you needed Rick's brain. You must be desperate.
14:37We have our moments, but we're still working each other out, you know?
14:41But I know how much Macca loves me. It's going to be fine.
14:45Someone who loves you doesn't hurt you, Cassie.
14:48So he lost his temper a couple of times.
14:50But he knows what he did was wrong, and he's promised to change.
14:54Look, he's not perfect, but no-one's perfect.
14:57I agree. No couple has a perfect relationship.
15:00But there's never any excuse for violence.
15:04Look, I really don't think you understand how intense this relationship is.
15:10Okay? Macca makes me feel totally loved.
15:13Like I belong with him.
15:15When he's with me, it's like no-one else matters.
15:18It's just me and him.
15:19And I've never experienced anything like that before.
15:22That does sound pretty full.
15:24Yeah, our relationship is full-on.
15:27But that's because what we have is special.
15:29That's not easy for other people to understand.
15:31Is that what Macca tells you, or is that what you really believe?
15:39You know, Kim and I have what I would call a pretty intense relationship.
15:44We love each other so much that I was even willing to give up my career for him.
15:49Now, I would do anything for him, and I know that he would for me too.
15:54But if he ever laid one hand on me in violence, I would have to walk away.
16:00No matter how much it broke my heart.
16:03Because no-one has the right to do that, Cassie.
16:06No-one.
16:11I have a brilliant idea for the reception that's going to blow you out of the water.
16:14Well, wait until you hear what I've got planned for the ceremony and put your idea to shame.
16:18All right, all right.
16:19We've still got a lot of planning to do.
16:20Let's get on with it, eh?
16:21Just tell her your idea, Jack, so we can actually hear hers.
16:25All right.
16:26I want you to picture the church.
16:29Beautiful flowers, sun streaming through the stained glass windows.
16:33Our favourite song, playing on the organ.
16:34Oh, that sounds beautiful.
16:36Yeah, I wanted to keep with the really traditional thing.
16:39Yeah, it sounds good, mate.
16:40Yeah, the only problem is the ceremony doesn't really match the reception.
16:44Which is what?
16:45Yeah, come on, put us out of our misery.
16:47Okay, you know that big old rustic hall we saw?
16:50I don't remember any hall.
16:52I guess it was more of a tin shed.
16:54You mean out the back of what's-its-place?
16:56Yeah, it's perfect for what I have in mind for the reception.
16:58You want to have our reception in the tin shed?
17:00Where else would we have a barn dance?
17:02Oh.
17:02Come on, it's a brilliant idea.
17:04Everyone will have so much fun.
17:05We'll get a few bales of hay, a bush band, it'll go off.
17:10You hate it.
17:11No, it's just, it's like you said.
17:13The ceremony and the reception don't match.
17:15I think we need to choose one theme or the other.
17:17Does it really matter if it clashes, though?
17:19I mean, maybe it could be about celebrating your differences.
17:22Yeah, you're right, Sal.
17:23It'll be perfect.
17:24Jack-style ceremony, Martha-style reception.
17:27It'll certainly be different, I'll grant you that.
17:30If that's what you want.
17:31Yeah, it is.
17:32And I know the perfect guy to am to see the bush dance.
17:36Marco, come here.
17:37Fine, dance.
17:40Should we go up and walk you?
17:41No, that'll be too sus.
17:43Give me a ring, quick.
17:44Ring.
17:48He promised he wouldn't hurt me anymore.
17:50And do you believe him?
17:53He promised me.
18:04Cass, you didn't answer my question.
18:06Do you believe that?
18:11He's sorry for doing it.
18:12I know he is.
18:13And I know he wants to change.
18:15And you just don't understand how intense things are between us.
18:20Does that make it okay?
18:23What Macca's doing is letting you believe that violence and anger are alright, because they're
18:27all part of an intense relationship.
18:30I also know that this isn't the first time that you've been a victim.
18:35You should know more than anyone what that's like, Cassie.
18:38And you should also know when enough is enough.
18:43But I love him.
18:45Yeah.
18:47And he's using that love to hurt you.
18:51You have to put a stop to it, Cassie.
18:53You can't let it go on.
19:01What's going on?
19:04It's a simple choice, Cassie.
19:06What's she doing here, Cass?
19:07What's she telling you?
19:08You're going to leave with me.
19:09She's not going anywhere.
19:11She's staying right here with me where she belongs.
19:12Right, babe?
19:13Come with me and you'll be safe.
19:16Oh, no.
19:18It's okay.
19:19I'm staying.
19:20Cassie, please.
19:21Hey.
19:22You heard she's staying.
19:23You get out and leave us alone, eh?
19:24Just go.
19:27You sure about this?
19:28Please, go.
19:51It's still time, Mom.
19:53Maybe you won't realise why Rachel's up there.
19:55You think so?
19:57Is it going to be okay?
19:58We tried to call Cassie to the warner that Macca was on his way.
20:01Yeah, he'd almost convinced her to come with me when Macca arrived.
20:03Did he know what was going on?
20:04Well, he wasn't very happy.
20:05I'm leaving her up there.
20:06Look, I tried to get her to leave, but Cassie wants to stay with Macca.
20:09Well, we've got to do something.
20:09He's going to hit her again.
20:10No, now we tell Sally.
20:11No, we don't tell Sally.
20:12Fix it now.
20:13Rick, you barging out there is just going to make things...
20:14No, I don't care, okay?
20:15I'm not leaving her up there.
20:19Cass!
20:20What do you want?
20:22I want to see Cassie.
20:23Well, she's in the shower.
20:24I want to see her right now.
20:25Hey, Cass!
20:25Look, I just...
20:26I told you, mate, she's in the shower.
20:28If you've done anything to her, I just...
20:29Just get out of here, mate.
20:30Cass doesn't need any more.
20:31Why can't I get that through your thick head?
20:44This is the episode no mother should miss.
20:47If you ever come near my daughter again,
20:49if you even come close to laying a finger on her,
20:51I promise you,
20:53I'm going to make you regret it for the rest of your life.
20:55Don't talk to me, don't see me, don't speak to me.
20:58But now, we're going to end.
21:00Rick!
