00:01Well, you two keep playing happy families.
00:03Either way, you're not dropping me in it.
00:05You can't force us.
00:05Yes, I can.
00:09Drew.
00:16Look, it's good to see you.
00:18We've been really worried.
00:19Oh, Drew, hello.
00:20I'm Leah.
00:21I'm Dan's wife.
00:22Glad to finally meet you.
00:23So, what happened?
00:24Where have you been?
00:25Staying in a mate's place.
00:26Right, well, your mother's been worried sick about you, so...
00:29I mean, sorry, I had to tell her it's been a week since we heard anything.
00:31Look, I just came here to get what's mine, okay, so we can cut all the small talk.
00:35Sorry, I don't think I understand.
00:37Well, my dad must have left me something.
00:39I just want to get in and get out of here.
00:41Okay.
00:42Well, the thing is, the will's not being read until tomorrow.
00:44I thought all that stuff would have been organised by now.
00:46Well, it takes a bit of time to organise.
00:48Your dad's solicitor's coming in the morning.
00:50Except I'm not going to be here in the morning, am I?
00:53Well, if you want to know what's in the will, you're going to have to be.
00:55You can always stay overnight, if you like.
00:57We'd love to have you.
00:59I guess I haven't got much choice.
01:09Mate, I think we really need to talk about this.
01:12There's nothing to talk about yet.
01:14Oh, believe me, there is.
01:16You're going to be a dad soon.
01:18Yeah, that's ages away.
01:19It's going to come up in there like that, mate.
01:21You know, in this thing, you've got a plan.
01:22It's cool, okay?
01:23No, Lucas, it is not cool, okay?
01:26I mean, who's going to look after this baby when you and Lee go back to school?
01:29And how are you going to pay for it?
01:31We'll work it out.
01:32When?
01:33Soon, okay?
01:34Just not now.
01:36I'm still trying to get my head around everything.
01:38Okay, well, that doesn't mean you can just pretend this isn't happening.
01:40I know that.
01:42Oh, Luke.
01:43What's going on in that head of yours, mate?
01:49Hey, Matty, how are you?
01:51Hi.
01:52I've just made some toast, love.
01:53Do you want to join us for brekkie?
01:54I, um, I can't.
01:55I've got to go out.
01:57To see her?
01:58I've got to go.
02:04Look, Matty, I know this is a really hard time for you, but Lucas is not actually trying
02:09to make this difficult.
02:16G'day.
02:16I'm up early this morning.
02:17Do you have a problem with that?
02:19No, I just thought we could have breakfast together, you know?
02:21We haven't had a proper chance to catch up yet.
02:23Yeah, I've got my own.
02:24Come on, boys.
02:25Sorry that took so long.
02:26Still insist I'm giving the boys brekkie before she let me take them.
02:29Hey, boys.
02:30It's your cousin Drew.
02:31Anyway, we'll get out of your hair.
02:33Hey, so these are the little guys you were talking about.
02:35They don't look like they can play soccer.
02:36Yes, we do.
02:38Oh, yeah?
02:38You reckon you can beat me?
02:39I'm pretty good.
02:40Easy.
02:41Come on.
02:42Come on.
02:42Have fun.
02:44Thanks.
02:45All right.
02:47Hey, and where are you off to, man?
02:50Going to play soccer.
02:51Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got it covered.
03:00Why can't I keep doing this?
03:02What?
03:03I can't keep lying to everyone.
03:04We've got to tell the truth.
03:05No, Lucas.
03:06Come on.
03:06You promised me.
03:07You can't say anything.
03:08Then when?
03:10I don't know.
03:11I just need to work out some stuff.
03:15Yeah, you keep saying that, but you haven't figured anything out.
03:17And in the meantime, people are getting really hurt.
03:19Yeah, I know.
03:20I'm sorry.
03:21Just give me a little bit more time, please.
03:30I see you've taken my advice on board and decided to stick together.
03:34Well, we've decided it's none of your business.
03:35As long as you're keeping our little secret, everything's my business.
03:40And you better make sure it stays a secret.
03:42What's thank you?
03:44Smart choice.
03:47I'm sure you'll make a very happy family when the baby comes.
03:50Me, baby?
03:51Don't you mean your baby?
03:53This is your own flesh and blood that we're talking about here.
03:55Doesn't that mean anything to you?
03:57Hey, listen here.
03:58You've got no right to judge me.
04:00Oh, I've got every right, you pathetic coward.
04:03Just keep your mouth shut about this.
04:05Hear me?
04:06Because you really don't want to pack me into a corner.
04:09It'll make life very difficult for both of you.
04:24Oh, how's the game?
04:25Awesome.
04:26Yeah, I didn't know Rugrats could score that many goals.
04:27Oh, yeah, I've taught him everything.
04:29He knows.
04:30Yeah, right.
04:31Um, boys, why don't we go and play in your room, hey?
04:34Boom!
04:35Oh!
04:36Beige.
04:37Here.
04:44Hi, thanks for coming over.
04:45Dan, you're welcome.
04:46Through here.
04:48Uh, Morag Bellingham, this is Drew Curtis.
04:51Drew, it's a great pleasure to meet you.
04:54I was your father's solicitor, and while we didn't always see eye to eye, he was a very,
04:58very good man.
04:59Well, thank you, and thanks for doing this.
05:02Uh, would you like a cup of tea?
05:04Oh, I think not.
05:05I think we'd best get started.
05:06Okay.
05:07Uh, Leah, where are you going to...
05:07Oh, hey, Morag.
05:09Yeah?
05:09Oh, I'll move all this stuff.
05:10Thanks.
05:12Now, um, Peter dropped this will very recently, and he did leave specific instructions,
05:19the first of which being I'm going to read this letter before I read the contents of the
05:23will.
05:28Dear Dan, writing this was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but it's still a
05:35lot easier than it would have been saying these things to your face.
05:39I know I wasn't always the brother I should have been, and you had plenty of good reasons
05:42over the years to cut me off, but you never did.
05:46I don't think you'll ever know how much of a difference that made to my life, which is
05:51why it's been so hard not telling you what I'm about to, but somehow it just never felt
05:55like the right time.
05:58I have a son.
05:59His name is Drew, and he's a great kid.
06:02It's only the last few years that I've known about him, but I love him, and I need you to
06:06keep an eye on him for me.
06:08I know this will be a shock, but there's no one else I trust like you.
06:12I'm sorry it had to be this way, but I know that if you're half as good an uncle as
06:16you
06:16are a father, he'll be in very good hands.
06:19Thanks for everything, Peter.
06:22Any questions before I read the will?
06:25No.
06:29I, Peter Kevin Baker, being of sound mind, do hereby state this to be my last will and testament.
06:34To my brother, Daniel David Baker, I leave my car and the small share portfolio currently
06:40held in trust by my solicitor.
06:42And to my son, Andrew Jacob Curtis, I leave the remainder of my estate, the sum of $20,000,
06:48to be held in trust for him by my brother, Daniel Baker, until he reaches the age of 18.
06:55But that's over six months away.
06:58Now, Drew, those were your father's wishes.
07:00I can't wait that long.
07:01Well, I'm sorry.
07:02They're the conditions of the will, and they are not negotiable.
07:15Have a nice time.
07:17Look, I'm sorry I couldn't stay this morning.
07:20Yeah, right.
07:21All this stuff with Lee's bad enough.
07:22You don't have to start lying now, too.
07:24You know what?
07:24Just forget I said anything.
07:25Fine.
07:26Nothing that comes out of your mouth actually means anything anyway.
07:30Oh, grow up.
07:40Can I handle that one a minute, mate?
07:42Yeah, we're so good shape.
07:44Look, mate, I know you have got a lot on your mind, but you do have to consider it.
07:47Okay, enough of the lectures.
07:49I'm just trying to talk to you.
07:50Well, talking isn't going to fix this.
07:52I've got an assignment to do this, sir.
07:58You don't understand.
07:59I need that money.
08:00Well, um, Pete's will is a legal document, Drew.
08:03We can't ignore it.
08:05Then how about you guys give me 20 grand of your cash now, and then in six months when
08:09my money comes through, you can keep it?
08:10Mate, we don't have $20,000 lying around.
08:13You could sell that car my dad left, and then what about that share portfolio?
08:16It's not worth anywhere near that.
08:17Well, it'd be a start.
08:19Okay, look, aside the fact that we don't have the money anyhow, Peter made himself clear.
08:22Okay, he doesn't want you to have it until you're 18.
08:24And what's the rush?
08:25It's only six months away.
08:26Because I have nothing, all right?
08:28So, unless you guys want me living on the streets, then...
08:30You've got three choices.
08:31Okay, you can leave now without any money.
08:33Mate, two, you can go and stay with your mum.
08:35Yeah, because she really wants me hanging around.
08:37Well, three, you can stay with us, get to know the family, and we'll look after you
08:40until the money comes through.
08:41What, to stay here with you?
08:42And we'll support you financially until you turn 18.
08:45Why would I want to stay here?
08:47Well, you just said you had nothing.
08:49So the choice is yours.
08:55I'll wait for Joe and I to get to know each other, and I grabbed it.
08:58You don't mind, do you?
08:59No, of course not.
09:00I think it's a really lovely gesture, and I really hope he takes you up on it.
09:03But, um, just don't be too disappointed if he doesn't, okay?
09:07Yeah, I mean, the reality is he said about two words to me since he got here last night.
09:11But you saw how he was with Vijay and Ryan.
09:13It's like there's a good kid underneath all that attitude.
09:15Yeah, look, I just think we need to be careful.
09:18And he's been through a lot over the last few weeks,
09:20and I just don't think we should put pressure on him, okay?
09:22I know.
09:25Um, so, look, I've been thinking, and I guess I'll stick around for a while.
09:30I mean, it's not like I've got much choice, is it?
09:32Well, even so, we're happy to have you.
09:35Yeah, well, don't be, because it's not like we're going to be playing happy families or anything.
09:38I mean, I'd have to be able to do my own thing, and you wouldn't be able to tell me
09:41what to do.
09:42Right, we'll play that one by ear, hey?
09:44Yeah, I'm going to see what Ryan and Vijay are up to.
09:46I'm going to see what Ryan and Vijay are up to.
10:05Hi.
10:07Hey, I just wanted to say that this whole thing, and I hope you don't hate Lucas for anything, but
10:13it's not what it looks like.
10:17Lucas already tried that one, so don't even bother.
10:19Do you think I'm some sort of idiot?
10:22Hey, I asked you, right?
10:32You're Mr. Brabant.
10:34Forget it.
10:35It's not what it looks like.
10:36This is what you guys have been talking about, isn't it?
10:39It's what Lucas wanted to tell me, but couldn't.
10:41Mr. Brabant's the father of your baby.
10:43Keep your voice down.
10:44But I don't understand.
10:46Why are you telling everyone Lucas is the father?
10:48You're only making it worse.
10:49None of your business.
10:50You've got to tell someone.
10:51He can't get away with this.
10:53I'm handling it, okay?
10:54By lying to everyone.
10:56Just drop it, please.
10:57No, no, this is wrong, and if you don't tell someone, I will.
11:06What are you doing here?
11:08I've come to see Lucas.
11:09Why?
11:10Worried about your secret getting out?
11:12I don't know what you mean.
11:14I know about Lee and the baby, so don't bother playing in a sense.
11:16Matilda, look, I'm not sure what stories they've been telling you, but...
11:20How could you do that to one of your students, to your wife and your family?
11:23I don't have to listen to this.
11:24You're disgusting, you know that, and I can't believe that you were actually going to let
11:27Lucas take responsibility for your mistake.
11:29Hey, that's enough.
11:29You really think you can tell me what to do after everything you've done?
11:33You're a pig, and I'm going to make sure that everyone knows it.
11:36Hey, don't you say damn words to anyone.
11:38Get your hands off me.
11:49What was Lucas and Lee doing with Brabant?
11:51Oh, I don't know.
11:52Or whatever they were talking about, it looked pretty intense.
11:54Does Steve know she's pregnant?
11:56I certainly don't think so.
11:59Here, Maddie, what's wrong with you?
12:01There's something I have to tell you.
12:03So what do you think Maddie's going to say when you try to talk to her about it?
12:06I don't know.
12:16I told you to keep your mouth shut.
12:18You couldn't do it, could you?
12:19Stupid little...
12:22Steve, don't think.
12:23I told you to keep your mouth shut.
12:24I told you to get rid of the problem.
12:26Please, Steve, you don't have to do this.
12:28Think about what you're doing.
12:30This is crazy.
12:33Hey, hey.
12:35You're not a leak.
12:36That's why you have to do it, all right?
12:48Planning his ex-wife's wedding seemed like a good idea.
12:51It was like the good old days.
12:53Then, things got a little too...
12:55How are you feeling?
12:59Yeah, okay, I guess.
13:00I just, I can't believe he would try something like that.
13:03Well, the important thing is that you are safe now, okay?
13:05And this is all out in the open.
13:07So what happens now?
13:09Well, Steve Braburn is being interviewed by police now.
13:12And after that, he has to deal with the education department.
13:14And there's definitely no way he'll be coming back to school or anything.
13:17Oh, look, I promise you, mate, Steve Braburn is in more strife than he could possibly imagine.
13:21Your parents are on their way over now.
13:23How did they sound?
13:24Oh, well, I think they were just worried more than anything.
13:26Yeah, but they're not going to be when they hear the full story.
13:28They're going to want me out of there for sure.
13:30I don't think that's going to happen.
13:32You don't know them.
13:33No, I don't.
13:34But I do know that none of this is your fault.
13:36I'll make sure they understand that too, okay?
13:39Everything's going to be fine.
13:47You won't really want the boys out this afternoon.
13:50Yeah, and?
13:52And they're going to sleep like babies tonight.
14:02What am I doing wrong?
14:03Just trying to take it first, you know.
14:05What kind of is it?
14:06It's like he built this wall around me and he's just trying to keep me out.
14:08Well, I think you're overacting.
14:10It's not that bad.
14:11Well, you didn't have a problem with Maureen this morning.
14:12He doesn't with you.
14:13He doesn't with the boys.
14:14It kind of is about me.
14:15Well, Dan, try and put yourself in his shoes.
14:18Well, no, it's a lot to adjust to.
14:20I just think you can try and make a little bit more of an effort.
14:22Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, I think.
14:25Obviously, he has regrets about his dad.
14:28Now, we know Drew rejected his attempt to get to know him
14:30and then to find out that he's dead.
14:31Actually, how does that make me the bad guy?
14:33Because in Drew's head, you're the nearest person to Pete.
14:36So all the hurt and confusion about his dad is now being focused on you.
14:39So you reckon I should handle it?
14:41Just give him some time.
14:42You know, he'll deal with it.
14:44He'll just keep taking that cold shoulder treat when he's dishing out.
14:47Yeah, he'll get sick of it sooner or later once he deals with that anger.
14:53Hey, you don't hate me, really?
14:56Of course we don't.
14:57But why didn't you come to us in the first place?
15:00Oh, I don't know.
15:01I just, I thought you'd be so mad at me for being so stupid.
15:05Oh, honey, the only one that we're mad at is your teacher.
15:08Now, why don't we get you home, eh?
15:11Okay, come on.
15:14I can't thank you enough for all the support you've given me.
15:17For all of you, you've been very kind.
15:19Oh, we're just very glad we could help.
15:21Yeah.
15:21I'll head out with you.
15:42May, could you give Lucas another minute, please?
15:55I really wanted to tell you, Dad, that Lee, she was so scared of what would happen to her
16:00and she felt like I was the only person that she could turn to.
16:03Well, you just saw what happened then, mate.
16:04Her parents were very supportive.
16:05Yeah, in front of us, but who knows what they'll be like when she gets home.
16:08You really think they're going to give her a hard time?
16:12Look, Luke, I understand that you're just trying to help here, but, you know, at the
16:19end of the day, Steve Broburn broke the law, okay?
16:22I mean, he took advantage of Lee, and this is something that was way too big for you to
16:27try to handle.
16:28And, for starters, keeping it a secret is just, it's just allowing him to get away with
16:34what he'd done.
16:35And then, there's also all the other people you've affected.
16:39That's myself and Beth, and especially Maddie, okay?
16:44This has been pretty tough on us.
16:48Especially with everything else we've been trying to cope with.
16:50I know, and I'm so sorry, but I just, I couldn't see a way out.
16:58Luke, in many ways, you have grown up a lot faster than many blokes your age.
17:05But you're not there yet, love.
17:08You know, sometimes in life, there are situations that none of us are able to deal with on our
17:14own, and that's why I'm here for you.
17:18I'll always be here for you to talk to.
17:24Okay?
17:25Come here, man.
17:28I'm so sorry, Dad.
17:30For everything.
17:36Oh, wow, you're very good.
17:38Yeah, well, you shouldn't like to see how it flies before you say that.
17:41Hey, very impressive.
17:42Wait to learn to do that.
17:49You know what, mate?
17:50I'm trying to make a bit of an effort here.
17:51It'd be a lot easier for both of us if you could try and beat up by it.
17:53Yeah, it'd be a lot easier if I didn't have to be here at all.
17:56I'm going to drop the boys off at Madge's.
17:59Do you want to come?
18:00Yeah.
18:01Okay, come on, boys.
18:02Let's go.
18:02Oh, good boy, Paige.
18:04There you go.
18:05Make yourself at home, Drew.
18:06Yeah, thanks.
18:07See ya.
18:08Say, Walter.
18:09Bye, darling.
18:35I used to be the strong one
19:06I just wanted to say how glad I am that everything's worked out.
19:10Yeah, me too.
19:12It must have been such a stress for you.
19:14But at least there's one good thing.
19:17What's that?
19:18Well, you're not the father of Lee's baby.
19:22I didn't know how I was going to cope watching you go through that.
19:26I just, I felt so sick about it.
19:29It's like I couldn't think about anything else.
19:31Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.
19:34I'm sorry?
19:35After everything that's happened today, all you can think about is how it affected you.
19:39No, that's not what I mean.
19:40I can't believe how selfish you are.
19:43Just because you're not hurting anymore doesn't mean this is over.
19:46Lee is still pregnant.
19:47She's still going to have this baby by herself.
19:49I know that.
19:51Let alone what Mr. Brayburn did to her.
