00:02Good to see you've got your appetite back.
00:06Yeah.
00:07I'm surprised you can fit it in after all those chocolate biscuits.
00:10Oh, that's where they all went.
00:12I'm going to have a shower.
00:13I thought you'd already had one.
00:15No, not yet.
00:16Are you pregnant?
00:19It's Lucas'.
00:22I'm having this baby.
00:31This is true.
00:33Well?
00:37Yes.
00:39Lee, I think we'd better get you to see the nurse, okay?
00:41Come on, I can't.
00:42No, no, no, you've just painted.
00:44I think, in your condition, it's better to be on the safe side, you're right?
00:47Yeah.
00:58I'm sorry, Dad.
01:00You told me that you did not sleep with her.
01:03I guess I was embarrassed.
01:04Well, why didn't you come and talk to me when you found out?
01:06I mean, we've always been open with each other, Luke.
01:08I just, I couldn't this time.
01:09Well, you think you're going to keep the whole thing a secret, did you?
01:11No.
01:12Look, I know that you're disappointed.
01:14Oh, Luke, did it even occur to you to use proper precautions?
01:19Come on, you were 17, for God's sake.
01:21You've got your HSC coming up next to you.
01:23I mean, this is the last thing that you...
01:25Look, I said that I am sorry.
01:26What else do you want me to do?
01:37But there must be something we can do.
01:40But have you checked the other ones?
01:42Hello?
01:43Hello?
01:45I just got cut off again.
01:47You're lucky to get a signal at all out here, love.
01:50There's a satellite phone there if it's urgent.
01:52Oh, no, it can wait.
01:53What are you doing out here, aren't I?
01:55I just thought I'd come down and check out the operation for myself.
01:58Well, I wish we had better news for you, then.
02:00How are things going?
02:01Not good.
02:02The whole area's so dry.
02:04Chances of them finding water out here.
02:06Poor Belle.
02:07Well, you've done everything you can, love.
02:09More than your fair share.
02:10If it wasn't for you, none of this would be happening.
02:13Look, um, there's nothing you can do out here.
02:16We're about to head back to the bay.
02:18Why don't we give you a lift?
02:19Oh, it's all right.
02:19I drove myself down.
02:21I know.
02:22Mate, I still think I should stay here.
02:23You've been going flat chat for days, Macker.
02:25If you don't get some rest, you're not going to be any good to anybody.
02:27And the rest of the blokes have got it covered.
02:30Yeah, yeah, righto.
02:31We'll see you back at the bay, eh?
02:32Drive safely.
02:39Ah, Jean, I'm going to be tied up for a little while.
02:42You haven't forgotten you've got a meeting in a few minutes?
02:44Oh, yeah, I...
02:45I can go and...
02:46No, no, no, no, it's fine.
02:47I think it's a good idea if we talk about this now, don't you?
02:54Like the nurse said, if you need to go home and rest, then you should.
02:57That's fine with me.
02:58No, I'm feeling much better now.
03:00Okay.
03:02That aside, I think we should call your parents and let them know what's happened.
03:05No.
03:07What, they don't know you're pregnant, do they?
03:11Lee, I know it's not going to be easy, but you have to tell them.
03:15I can't.
03:15They'll hate me.
03:16Well, it's certainly going to be a shock to them at first, but they are going to find
03:20out soon enough.
03:21I'm 17.
03:22I don't have to tell them.
03:24No.
03:26Will you at least talk to Mrs. Fuller for me?
03:30Fine, I'll talk to her.
03:31Good.
03:32I'll make an appointment for you this afternoon.
03:35Can I go back to class now, please?
03:38Yeah, of course you can.
03:39But unless there's something else you might like to talk to me about.
03:44Hello?
03:51Hello?
03:52Oh, Mr. Braburn.
03:54Sorry, I didn't realise you were with someone.
03:56Jean must have stepped out.
03:57No, no, no, that's okay.
03:58We were just finishing up.
04:00Leo, I'll talk to you later.
04:02You know where to find me if you need me, okay?
04:04Thank you, Miss Fletcher.
04:08Sorry for interrupting.
04:10Everything all right?
04:10Oh, I hope so.
04:12Come on in.
04:13Welcome back.
04:22So what's going on with Lee?
04:24She fainted.
04:26Well, do you know why?
04:28No idea.
04:30You two are practically inseparable these days.
04:32You must know.
04:33Well, I guess you're sick.
04:35I noticed you want me to say.
04:41What the hell were you thinking, telling my dad and Miss Fletcher that I'm the father?
04:44I'm so sorry.
04:46Well, you just made matters a million times worse and landed me in the middle of it.
04:49I was scared.
04:50You forced me to lie to my dad, Lee.
04:52But I'm not going to do it again.
04:54No, Luke, you cannot say anything.
04:56Why not?
04:57I just saw Steve.
04:59What happened?
05:00Did he say anything to you?
05:00Well, he didn't get the chance, but I'm pretty sure he knows something's going on.
05:04How much longer do you think we can keep this up?
05:06We have to go to Miss Fletcher and tell her...
05:08No, please look, don't say anything.
05:09I just need a little bit more time, okay?
05:12Okay.
05:15I bet you were shocked when you found out about Barry.
05:17To say the least.
05:19Hey, good day, Steve.
05:20Good day, mate.
05:21Good to see you.
05:21Good to see you.
05:23I can't believe everything that's happened since I've been away.
05:25Hey, there's no more drastic news to report.
05:28No, mate, nothing we can't have.
05:30Actually, Sal, can I get a second?
05:31Yeah, sure, come on through.
05:33Steve, if you just adjust your leave time on these forms and leave them with Jean, she
05:36knows all about it.
05:37Thanks.
05:37Good to see you, mate.
05:38See you.
05:40Day of original return.
05:42No deal with my diary.
05:44Must have left him Sally's office.
05:47I don't know, it's just that Lee's been pregnant for three months and even her parents don't
05:50know about it.
05:51I can't believe Luke's going to be a dad.
05:59Can we have a word, please?
06:07What the hell are you playing at?
06:09It's our baby, Steve.
06:10I was going to tell you.
06:11It's Mr. Greyburn.
06:12What's all this about Lucas being the father?
06:14I only said that to protect you.
06:15Protect me?
06:16If you got rid of it like I told you, there wouldn't be a problem.
06:18Lucas isn't going to say anything.
06:22I thought you loved me.
06:23Will you stop?
06:24I'm married for God's sake.
06:25I've got a family.
06:27What do you think was going to happen, Lee?
06:29That if you kept this baby, we'd end up together?
06:31I don't know.
06:31I thought we had a chance.
06:33Don't you remember what we shared was so special?
06:35We shared nothing, right?
06:37You were the biggest mistake I've ever made, which means you're not keeping this baby.
06:41You got me?
06:42I can't get rid of it.
06:43You don't have a choice.
06:45Oh, sorry.
06:46I didn't realise anybody was in here.
06:47It's okay.
06:48Is everything alright?
06:49Yeah, everything's fine.
06:54I found her in here by herself.
06:56She seemed a bit upset, so I tried to get her to open up.
06:59Oh, what did she tell you?
07:00Nothing.
07:01She said she didn't want to talk about it.
07:03Yeah, she's got a lot going on at the moment.
07:05If you do find her upsetting, could you let me know?
07:07Yeah, no worries.
07:08Okay, thank you.
07:17I didn't order anything.
07:20I took the liberty.
07:21You need to keep your strength up.
07:23Thanks, Marilyn.
07:23I'm not hungry at all.
07:24Well, maybe some rest will make you feel better.
07:26Why don't you try and get some sleep?
07:28Well, I'm heading over to Jack's for some rest later, but I don't think anything's going
07:31to make me feel better, Colleen.
07:32Not now.
07:33Oh, look, I know it's hard, but you've got to find a way to stay strong.
07:38Whatever you need to do to get you through, you've just got to go and do it.
07:42That's what I always say.
07:56Yeah, it's me.
07:57Listen, I need you just to call me some key.
07:59Give up on me for your...
08:31G'day.
08:33Hi.
08:34You left this down at the base camp and I said I'd drop it back for you.
08:38Actually, while I'm here, I wanted to ask you a few questions about the search.
08:41What do you want to know?
08:42Well, just some specifics, really.
08:44Like, how effective is that equipment that we're using down there?
08:47Well, um, I'd say it's crucial.
08:49Without congear and support vehicles, it'd be pretty much impossible to ski out of that
08:52kind of terrain.
08:53Why do you ask?
08:54Oh, I just wanted to make sure that we're doing everything that's possible.
08:57Right.
08:58Oh, excuse me.
09:00Hello?
09:02You're kidding.
09:04No, I've already tried that.
09:07All right, let me just get a pen and...
09:19The way he looked at me, he doesn't give a damn about me anyway.
09:23All he's worried about stabbing his own neck.
09:25Then if he doesn't care about you, what do you care what happens to him?
09:28Look, we need to tell Miss Fletcher the truth.
09:31No, no.
09:32It's just going to make it worse.
09:33No, how?
09:37Hey.
09:38Sorry to interrupt.
09:39Hi, Leigh.
09:40Hi.
09:40Look, I just wanted to have a little chat to you, both of you, actually.
09:43Um, and then just Lucas.
09:46Um, Leigh, Sally Fletcher tells me that you haven't told your parents about this.
09:53Don't you think they've got a right to know?
09:56In fact, I'm a little surprised they haven't figured it out for themselves.
09:59They both work a lot.
10:02And I hardly see them.
10:05But I'm going to tell them, I promise.
10:10Just not yet.
10:11Please.
10:13Okay, um, look, I don't want to seem like I'm being unsupportive to either of you.
10:19Because I'm just trying to get it through my head, that's all.
10:22The fact is, um, I'm just a little concerned for both of you.
10:26I mean, being a teenager is hard enough, as it is, but let alone throwing a pregnancy into the mix.
10:33You're pregnant?
10:37Maddie, wake up.
10:38Maddie?
10:38Maddie, sorry you had to hear that, love.
10:40How could he do this to me?
10:41How could he?
10:41I hate him.
10:43All of the lies that he's told me, and I believed him.
10:46How much of an idiot does that make me?
10:47No, you're not the idiot.
10:49Lucas is.
10:49Maybe you're not, okay?
10:51I thought that he still loved me.
10:53We always said that we wanted to be each other's first, but now...
10:57I know it hurts, Maddie.
10:59I'm so sorry.
11:00I knew all along that he didn't care about me.
11:03And why would he?
11:04Why would anyone?
11:05What?
11:06Don't ever say that.
11:08I mean nothing to him because I know nothing.
11:18I don't even know why I went to school, but I guess everything was just getting too hard
11:21to deal with.
11:22Do you really think that taking drugs is going to make it any easier?
11:26Macca, people are relying on you right now.
11:28They need you to be strong.
11:29I'm trying, but every day we go out there and every day we've got nothing to show for it.
11:32I'm sick of feeling so useless.
11:34You're not useless.
11:35You just feel that way because you're exhausted.
11:37You're not thinking straight.
11:39It's a cop-out.
11:40It happens, doesn't it?
11:41You fall back on bad habits when the pressure's on.
11:43Because that's the easy way out.
11:45But trust me, it's only going to make things worse in the long run.
11:48Take it from someone who's learnt the hard way.
11:51It's taken me a long time to face up to a lot of the bad decisions that I've made,
11:56to start to do the right thing and dig my way out.
12:00Where would it even start?
12:01When you've got a hell of a lot of cash to help you do the right thing,
12:03I'm just one guy.
12:04Not a lot to show for himself.
12:06I lost Cassie to another guy.
12:09And I lost Martha for good.
12:11She could come back to you.
12:13And when she does, she needs you to be strong, not messed up on drugs.
12:17Whether or not she does, I've ruined everything we ever had anyway.
12:19Macca.
12:20Look, it's time I faced it.
12:21My life's stuffed.
12:22It's exactly what I deserve.
12:28I owe you so much.
12:37If you don't come clean, this is only going to get worse.
12:39You heard what you said.
12:40I can't back out on her now.
12:41Well, you just said this is all a mess, man.
12:43You've got to come clean.
12:44Yeah, and then what would happen?
12:45Then Braeburn would get what's coming to him.
12:47You'd get your life, man.
12:47And what about Lee?
12:49What if her parents kick her out?
12:51I don't know.
12:52I mean, I feel sorry for her, but what about you?
12:54This is actually starting to take quite an effect on your life, mate.
12:57No, I promised her, Rick.
12:58And I can't let her down.
13:00How late down do you think Maddie's feeling right now?
13:11Hey, Maddie, can I get you something?
13:13No, thanks.
13:15I can rustle off a singer.
13:16I said I'm okay.
13:22Um, we should probably go, but I'll call you later.
13:26I'll see you.
13:37Please don't be sad about this, Maddie.
13:40I'm not sad.
13:42I'm angry.
13:44I'm hurt.
13:45You've been lying to me for weeks, and I hate you for that.
13:47Well, there really is more going on here than you think.
13:50You said that last week, and you keep saying it, but it doesn't mean anything.
13:54You just have to trust me.
13:55Trust you?
13:57I don't know who you are anymore.
14:29I don't know who you are anymore.
14:34All I'm saying, Maka, is that there has to be something good in your life.
14:38There has to be.
14:40Well, there was.
14:41Cassie.
14:43She was amazing.
14:44You know when you just click with someone?
14:45Yeah.
14:46That's how good it was with us.
14:48We were so good for each other.
14:50I mean, if she was good for me, I just blew it.
14:54Yeah, I heard about what happened.
14:57She deserved better.
14:58A lot better.
15:00I just wish I could make it up to you now.
15:01I want to show her how I really feel.
15:03Well, what's stopping you?
15:05She already said she can't take me back.
15:07And how can I blame her after everything I put her through?
15:10Well, it sounds to me like you're taking the easy way out.
15:12If you really want Cassie, then you should go for it.
15:15What if I do tell her how I feel again and she still doesn't give me another chance?
15:19Look, I never thought anybody here would give me a second chance either.
15:23But I did the right thing and they did.
15:26Well, it took a while, but they came around eventually.
15:29And I think Cassie will too, if you are genuine.
15:33You really think it's possible?
15:35Absolutely.
15:38It's not fair on Maddie to have to go through this, especially now.
15:42She's got enough to worry about without finding out Luke's going to be a father.
15:47I hate seeing her like this.
15:48She's so down on herself and it's all Luke's fault.
15:52Look, I know he's your best mate, but aren't you even the tiniest bit angry about it?
15:56I feel bad for both of them.
15:57But Maddie's the one who's falling apart here, not Lucas.
15:59Yeah, I know that it's tough on her, but I mean, these things work themselves out.
16:03Luke didn't mean for this to happen.
16:05How can you defend him?
16:06Maddie's never going to forgive him for this and I don't blame her one bit.
16:17Well, you're looking much better and you're just what I need,
16:20a big scrapping fella to give me a hand in the storeroom.
16:23I remember some sweet love that you gave to.
16:33Hey, what are you doing here?
16:35We need to talk.
16:37Can we?
16:38Yeah, sure.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:45I know what I said and I know we've been through it before, but I can't do this anymore.
16:52But you promised me...
16:53Yeah, that was before I saw what it was doing to Maddie.
16:56She's got so much going on already and I've just gone and made things even worse.
17:02I know I said that I would help and I don't want to let you down,
17:07but you and I both know the only real way out of this is to tell the truth.
17:10That's the habit of the question.
17:13I'm not letting you ruin everything I've worked for, Lee.
17:16That's not her problem.
17:17You did the wrong thing.
17:18You're the one who should be owning up...
17:19No, because he's just leaving...
17:19No, he's going to hear this.
17:21You are the teacher.
17:22Lee should have been able to trust you.
17:23I didn't force her into anything.
17:24Yeah, you didn't stop it either.
17:26I think it's time you took responsibility for what you did.
17:28I think it's time you mind your own business.
17:31Like it or not, I'm involved in it.
17:32Then you do as I damn will tell you to.
17:34There's no way I'm going to mess with my family or my career.
17:38So you either get rid of the problem altogether
17:41or you two keep playing happy families.
17:43Either way, you're not dropping me in it.
17:45You can't force us.
17:46Yes, I can.
17:47And I am.
17:49You would do exactly as I say.
17:52I'll be coming after both of you.
18:12Is everything okay?
18:13Yeah, fine.
18:19Well done, Colleen.
18:20I'll catch up to you later.
18:21Oh, but you can't go yet.
18:22I've made you some pancakes.
18:23I didn't order any pancakes.
18:25Yeah, I know.
18:26But I took the liberty of whipping up something special
18:29just to say thank you.
18:30Yeah, thanks for talking to me.
18:31No, no, nonsense.
18:32You didn't need anything this morning either.
18:34I'm not letting you out of here
18:35without something decent in your tummy.
18:38Sit down.
18:42That's not a problem.
18:44What?
18:45I don't mind if you'd like to go and talk to me.
18:48You don't?
18:50Well, you love me, right?
18:51Yes.
18:52So I trust you.
18:54I have to call work in, though,
18:55so I'll bet you all time.
18:57Thanks.
19:10Hi.
19:11Hi.
19:12I was going to come over before.
19:14Colleen kidnapped you?
19:15Yeah, I noticed.
19:16Yeah, now she's forced me to eat her pancakes.
19:18Oh, well, there are worse things in life.
19:22So how are you?
19:25Not great.
19:27Well, I guess you probably noticed me and Rick are back together.
19:30Yeah.
19:31Are you okay with that?
19:32That's what you want.
19:34Really?
19:34Of course.
19:36I guess I'm not going to pretend that I don't still love you
19:39or don't miss you like crazy.
19:41But as long as you're happy, that's the most important thing to me.
19:46Well, I'd better go.
19:48But look after yourself, okay?
19:50Yeah, I will.
20:05All right, well, find out for me and get back to me as soon as you can.
20:08All right, bye.
20:10Every time I see you, you're on the phone.
20:11Is everything okay?
20:12Yeah, I've just got a few problems to sort out.
20:14What about you?
20:15How did you go with Cassie?
20:16Ah, she's back with Rick.
20:18Oh, I'm sorry.
20:19Well, at least you gave it a shot, which is kind of the point.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Thanks for before.
20:23Sorry to dump all my problems on you.
20:24No, don't be.
20:25It was fine.
20:26Oh, I'm sorry.
20:28Oh, you're looking a lot brighter than you were earlier, Yaron.
20:31Well, it's amazing what a shower can do for you.
20:33Quite the time you're heading back down to the halls in the morning.
20:35First light.
20:36No, you don't understand.
20:37There must be something you can do.
20:40There has to be.
20:41Anything, please.
20:44You all right, love?
20:45What's going on?
20:47Look, I've done everything that I can.
20:49I promise I have.
20:50What do you mean?
20:51Well, you have to understand, my money's tied up all over the place.
20:54It takes weeks for me to get hold of it.
20:56You know, there's long winter processes that you need to go through.
20:58Amanda, what are you talking about?
21:00We've used up all the money from the film on the search.
21:03And I've cleared out my own account, too.
21:05So all we have left now is my house and some investments.
21:08But as I said last week, it takes a few weeks for me to get my hands on that because
21:12I bank overseas.
21:14So you're saying that effectively you've got no more money to fund the search?
21:19I'm so sorry.
21:26Jack, I love you.
21:28How would you say goodbye?
21:29I'm sorry.
21:31To the ones you love.
21:33We could go and search him forever and still find nothing.
21:35There has to come a point where we put a stop to it.
21:37I think that point should be now.
21:39I can't wake her up.
21:40There's somebody here.
21:42Help.
21:42I'm on the way.
21:43The seven.
