00:00Queensland.
00:02Why are you so desperate?
00:03Look, I'm not desperate, Amanda, okay?
00:05I'm in pain.
00:06Alright, I've just got some injuries that have taken a long time to heal, and doctor
00:08just prescribed me some painkillers, that's all.
00:11Right.
00:11Who did this to you?
00:13Was it Johnny?
00:16Well, the least you're gonna do is come and stay with me until we sort out what's going
00:19on.
00:20Yeah.
00:21That way we can make sure you get the help that you need.
00:23The help that we should have given you ages ago.
00:26Yep.
00:28You know what I mean?
00:29Nice one, mate.
00:32Every little thing I said, I meant it.
00:35I want to be here with you by his side.
00:38Just love as my wife.
00:42And there's no chance you're ever gonna change your mind.
00:45I'm sorry.
00:52So, how's he holding up, anyway?
00:54Oh, he's a bit uncomfortable, but the surgery seemed to go well.
00:57Oh, look.
00:58Give him my best, okay?
00:59Now, I've popped in a couple of experts, because I know the chop chip's his favourite.
01:03See ya.
01:05Oh!
01:06Okay?
01:07Yeah, got it.
01:08How you going?
01:09Not bad.
01:10You?
01:11Yeah, good.
01:12Just finding my feet gradually.
01:14I mean, you wouldn't think there'd be so much to get your head around in such a small town.
01:16No.
01:19So, was that morning tea, or?
01:21Um, yeah, for Jack.
01:22I thought it might cheer him up.
01:23Oh, that's nice.
01:25We'll just tell him I'll pop by in later to see him.
01:27Oh.
01:29Sorry.
01:30There goes my break.
01:32I'll see you around.
01:33Alright, see ya.
01:36Hello?
01:37And that's when Dan and his nephew found him in the pantry.
01:40Was anyone hurt?
01:40Oh, Pete seemed okay.
01:42Miss Val suffered some bruising and some minor shock.
01:44I think we should get her to the hospital.
01:46Sounds like you guys had a bit of a night.
01:48Yeah, listen, you guys are gonna be much longer.
01:49We'll be as quick as we can, Pete.
01:51So what can you tell us?
01:52Oh, there were six guys.
01:54They were all wearing, you know, jeans, dark hoodies, and balaclavas.
01:58Was it tall or short, or?
02:01Uh, there was one that was about Drew's height, and the rest were taller.
02:05And there were no obvious tats or markings that I could see.
02:07So did they say anything or do anything that might give us an idea of who they were?
02:11No, nothing.
02:12What about distinguished features or accents or?
02:13I walked in, they grabbed me, and they threw us in the cupboard.
02:15We didn't have time to get to know them, Constable.
02:18Look, they didn't use each other's names, and they didn't say a lot.
02:22Miss Val, is there a possibility this could have been deliberate?
02:24Like they were targeting you?
02:26I don't think so.
02:27Why, do you?
02:28The police are just covering their bases, Amanda.
02:30They will catch whoever did this.
02:37What the flaming hell's happened to you?
02:39We found him like this outside the diner.
02:41He fell over a dinghy apparently.
02:42Four or five times by the look of him.
02:44Rocco, you have to tell us who did this to you.
02:46If this was your brother, you've got to put a stop to it now.
02:48His brother?
02:49It's truth.
02:50Yeah, Johnny's not happy about letting Rocco out and again.
02:52Oh, look, it wasn't him, all right?
02:54I told you.
02:54If it was, I wouldn't be walking around telling the story.
02:57We just want to help you.
02:58We can protect you.
02:59I don't think we have a choice.
03:01We have to go to the police.
03:01No.
03:02Just leave it.
03:03Stuff happens.
03:04It's over, all right?
03:05Well, mate, if you're not going to the cops, you can't sit around here bleeding all over
03:08the house.
03:09Let's get you up and get those bandages changed, eh?
03:12You all right?
03:12Yeah, okay.
03:13Thanks, Mr. Stewart.
03:18He's scared.
03:19We take him to the police station.
03:21It doesn't mean he's going to start talking.
03:22Well, then there's only one thing left to do.
03:24Go straight to the source.
03:25No, you can't go and see, Johnny.
03:27He's too dangerous.
03:28I don't want anybody else getting hurt.
03:29The guy's a bully, Sal.
03:30He's had a go at me now at Rocco.
03:32Where's he going to stop?
03:32He has to know that he can't get away with it.
03:38Hey, boys, check this out.
03:40There you go, girls.
03:41Come here.
03:45Here we go.
03:47I saw what you did to Rocco.
03:49What?
03:50I don't know what you're talking about.
03:53What's Rocco got to do with you, anyway?
03:55He's one of my students, and he's a good kid just trying to help me.
03:58I can't have a go, unlike you and the rest of your idiot mates.
04:01Idiot mates?
04:03That's a bit harsh.
04:04I don't think I haven't dealt with your type before.
04:06You don't know me.
04:07If you did, you wouldn't be getting in my face.
04:09Just stay away from Rocco and everyone else around here.
04:12You understand?
04:13I understand that you're making a habit of sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong.
04:17And that could turn out to be a very big mistake.
04:21Understand?
04:37Do you want another pillow?
04:38I'm just going to move.
04:39I'll wait a bit.
04:40Here.
04:41Thanks.
04:43Um, do you want chocolate chip or blueberry?
04:46You don't have to keep doing this.
04:48Are you kidding any excuse for one of Irene's mopping?
04:52Martha, it's great how you've been looking after me and everything.
04:56Just don't feel as though you have to do it.
04:59Yeah, well Jack, I meant what I said.
05:00I want to be part of your life.
05:02I want us to be friends.
05:03Right.
05:04And how does that work again?
05:06It's just going to take a while for both of us to get used to.
05:12So, how's Ash?
05:14Have you seen him lately?
05:15Um, yeah, I bumped into him before.
05:17We didn't get a chance to talk, but he told me to tell you he'll pop in later.
05:23Jack, there's nothing going on.
05:24I told you that.
05:25I know.
05:26You said.
05:30How selfish can you get?
05:32Yeah, after everything she's done, she still expects us to feel sorry for her.
05:34I think Amanda was in shock more than anything else.
05:36She'd had a rough night.
05:37Yeah, it's called calm.
05:38Mate, that's enough, alright?
05:39The woman's just been assaulted and robbed.
05:41Give her a break, okay?
05:42Excellent.
05:43After spending one night locked up with her, you totally sucked in.
05:46No, all I'm saying is everyone deserves a bit of compassion, including Amanda.
05:48Pete, are you alright?
05:50Yeah, I'm fine.
05:51It's just...
05:51Look, I said I was okay.
05:52Hey, hey.
05:54Sit down and relax.
05:54I'm just going to get a glass of water.
05:55I'll be back in a sec.
06:16Hey, you're back.
06:16How did it go?
06:17Did you speak to Johnny?
06:18Hmm.
06:19Not that it did much good, though.
06:20He wouldn't admit to anything.
06:21And he wasn't very impressed about being told to back off either.
06:25Well, if he's the sort of bloke who'd belt his own brother, he wouldn't think twice
06:28about having a poke at somebody else.
06:30Sal, are you sure you want this young bloke staying?
06:32Well, what's the alternative?
06:33Send him back for more?
06:34How is Rocco?
06:35Oh, the bruising over his eye is getting worse.
06:38Alright, I'm going to drop by the hospital, see if we can get Rachel to give us a home visit.
06:42Oh, that'd be great.
06:43Um, and Brad, thank you.
06:49Sal, I'd better head off too.
06:51Are you going to be okay here on your own?
06:52I'll be fine.
06:53If not, I know where to find you.
06:55See you later.
06:56Bye.
07:00Hey, how are you going?
07:02Hey, no, I'm a bit like I just got hit by a semi.
07:04Yeah, which is why I think maybe we should have a doctor look at those bruises.
07:07Oh, I'm fine.
07:07It'll be Brad's sister.
07:09He's going to see if she'll do a house call so you don't have to worry about the police getting
07:11involved.
07:13I'll be back in a sec.
07:14Can you help yourself here?
07:16That's plenty.
07:17Thanks.
07:26This is Ira.
07:28What is he doing here?
07:29The principal.
07:29You're supposed to be hosing him down.
07:31Yeah, I am.
07:32Well, why does he keep coming after me and mouthing off?
07:34Check out my face.
07:35What do you think?
07:35I told you I don't want him sniffing around.
07:38It wouldn't be good if he gets sussed about the breaking.
07:39He won't.
07:40He better not, okay?
07:41Or I'll do something about it.
07:42Look, it's cool, okay?
07:44They got nothing on us.
07:45Better be.
07:52You look a little bit more refreshed.
07:55How's it all going?
07:56Well, there's not a lot to go on.
08:04Miss Vale, does this belong to you?
08:08I don't think so.
08:09What about someone in the family or a friend?
08:11I've never seen it before.
08:12In that case, I think we found our first clue.
08:23Rachel will be with you in a minute.
08:25Thanks, Julie.
08:27Hi, guys.
08:28I've got bay one set up for Miss Vale.
08:31Oh, look, I feel silly even being here.
08:32There's nothing wrong with me.
08:33We won't have to keep you along.
08:35This way.
08:38Right, well, we should probably go and harass Jack then.
08:40Yeah, I'll radio the station and let him know where we are.
08:43Laura.
08:44Hey, Brad.
08:44How's it going?
08:45Good, good.
08:47What happened?
08:47How's it going?
08:47How's it going?
08:48Some vandals broke my house, got a bit heavy with her and then robbed her.
08:51Any idea who it was?
08:52No.
08:53No one's been identified yet.
08:54But one of the assailants left a piece of jewellery.
08:56So with any luck, it'll give us a clue.
08:58Do you mind if I have a look at it?
08:59No, go for it.
09:03I think I know who this belongs to.
09:06Okay, do you want jelly and custard or a fruit cup?
09:09You choose.
09:10They're both so tempting.
09:14You took a few ring.
09:17Yeah, I did.
09:18I didn't think it was right to keep wearing it.
09:20Not after the conversation we had last week.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Hey, I should go.
09:27Are you okay to finish this off?
09:29I'll see you this afternoon.
09:31Bye.
09:31Oops.
09:33We've got to stop meeting like this all right.
09:34Yeah, good call.
09:35Okay.
09:35Bye.
09:36See ya.
09:40So how's it going?
09:41Great.
09:42Sorry to interrupt.
09:43Hey, Jack.
09:44Have you got a second?
09:45We might have a possible lead on that necklace.
09:47Sorry, mate.
09:48Look, I'll come and see you later, alright?
09:52You do that.
09:57It's Johnny Cooper's, definitely.
09:59How can you be so sure?
10:00Because I've seen him wear it.
10:01You don't like him very much, do you?
10:03I don't like him at all.
10:04But I'm not trying to frame him if that's what you think.
10:06Things did get pretty heated between you two yesterday.
10:08Yeah, okay.
10:09They did.
10:09But that's not what this is about.
10:11Okay, thanks.
10:12We'll look into it.
10:15And look, there's something else that you should know too.
10:19Can't believe he assaulted his own brother.
10:21Rocco wanted out of the gang, so that's what they did to him.
10:24And Brad thinks that Johnny trashed his apartment too.
10:28I don't know why you're all so surprised.
10:30Rocco's bad news, just ask anyone at school.
10:33He'd be great for you though.
10:34He's about the right age.
10:35He's a bit of a bad boy.
10:35He's enough.
10:36Come on, now's got the time, okay?
10:38He's probably not that stupid.
10:39Alright, let's go.
10:40What?
10:40Where?
10:41We're going grocery shopping.
10:42It's called karma, mate.
10:43You know, are you sure you're going to be okay, Pete?
10:45We're not going to be that long.
10:46Yeah, no, I'm fine.
10:47Okay.
10:54Well, I guess I should be going too.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Can't put off going home forever.
11:00Hey, uh, thanks again for last night.
11:02Yeah, that's fine.
11:03I really appreciate it.
11:05Hey, I'll take...
11:08Oxymendone?
11:08I thought you said it was nothing.
11:09It is nothing.
11:10Just don't make a big...
11:10These are hardcore painkillers, Peter.
11:13What's going on?
11:17Look, we know this belongs to Johnny.
11:19The police just need you to confirm it.
11:21I've never said it before.
11:22But if we can prove that Johnny's gang committed the robbery at Amanda's place, then you don't have to worry
11:27about him anymore.
11:27It's not his.
11:29We're going to follow this up.
11:30You know that.
11:32Rocco, is this what all the secrecy's been about?
11:34You knew that Johnny did the robbery, but you were too scared to tell us.
11:37No.
11:38No way.
11:38Did he beat you up to stop you talking?
11:40No.
11:42Look, I've never seen the necklace before and I don't know anything about a robbery.
11:46Okay?
11:47There are ways out, Rocco.
11:48We can help you.
11:49Yeah, Lara's right.
11:50You don't have to live every day scared.
11:53You deserve much better.
11:54Yeah.
11:59You got it wrong.
12:00It's not mine.
12:01It's a very distinctive piece of jewellery.
12:03It's not going to be hard to find someone who's seen you wearing it.
12:06Well, they'd be lying.
12:08I've never even heard of this Amanda Valchik.
12:10But if she's as loaded as you say she is, maybe I should look her up.
12:14Why is it, Mr. Cooper, you've been in town five minutes and the crime rate spikes?
12:18We've had numerous reports of disturbing the peace, a spade of breaking enters,
12:22and just now a report of assault which just happens to be against your own brother.
12:27Well, small towns just aren't what they used to be, I guess.
12:31So what do you know about the breaking at Brad Armstrong's place?
12:34You mean rocks, teacher?
12:35Yeah, nothing was stolen from the flat, but it was maliciously vandalised.
12:39Sounds personal.
12:40And designed to give Mr. Armstrong a very clear warning.
12:43Well, then it's off to the next house.
12:45One worth knocking off.
12:47And now we've got your necklace in our custody here.
12:50And your brother sitting at home looking like he's gone through 12 rounds.
12:53Rocco's always getting into fights. Check his charge sheet.
12:56Well, it's you we're interested in, mate. You and your little necklace there.
12:59Well, it's a shame you didn't get the prints off it then, isn't it?
13:01At least then you'd be able to arrest the person who owns it
13:04and not waste time on the wrong people.
13:06Well, we don't waste people's time, Mr. Cooper.
13:08Sweet. Then we're done.
13:11Yeah, for now.
13:12We'll see you soon though, I'm sure.
13:14Look forward to it.
13:15He is so cocky.
13:17It's because he knows we've got nothing.
13:20I was okay while I was on the morphine, but once I left the hospital and went off it, then
13:24the pain just came straight back.
13:26And the doctor put you on those?
13:28Yes.
13:28That's a really long time, Peter. Months.
13:31Look, I told myself that when the pain stopped, I'd throw them away, but it just...
13:34It hasn't gone away yet.
13:35If anything, it's getting worse. I mean, you saw me last night, but...
13:38You're a mess.
13:40Peter, I think that you should tell Dan and Leah about this. Get it out in the open and get
13:44some help.
13:44I don't need help, Amanda. I've already told you that these painkillers are totally legit.
13:47They're prescribed to me by my doctor.
13:49Which one?
13:52Look, Peter, I know how easily these situations can get out of control.
13:56Kelly was addicted to those exact same...
13:58I'm not addicted to...
13:59And I watched her go through hell trying to get off...
14:01Amanda, I am not a drug addict, okay? I'm in pain.
14:04But it's not the injury causing the pain.
14:06It's the withdrawal.
14:09Peter, this is a really serious situation.
14:12And unless you do something about it, it's not going to go away.
14:25Investigators.
14:35Your mags suck.
14:36You should get some of those girly ones in much more educational.
14:39How did you get in here?
14:41Door was open. You really need to be more careful.
14:43Especially after what happened yesterday.
14:45What do you want, Johnny?
14:46Not even gonna offer me a cuppa?
14:48I've been waiting ages.
14:49Just answer the question.
14:51Well, that's the thing.
14:52I've been answering questions all day and nobody's paying the least bit attention.
14:56What are you talking about?
14:58I think you know.
14:59Call it a hunch, but I'm betting it was you who'd dobbed me into the cops.
15:02You remember?
15:03The necklace you told them was mine?
15:05The one they found in some rich lady's house?
15:08Well, the point is, cops have got nothing on me.
15:11They never have.
15:12So before you start pointing the finger, you should really make sure it's gonna stick.
15:18And this is your last warning.
15:20Because next time you won't see my face.
15:36White and one, right?
15:38Ty.
15:42Your sister Kelly, you said that she, she beat the addiction.
15:47Eventually.
15:48With help.
15:50The alcoholism took a little bit longer though.
15:54Peter, I understand if you don't want anyone to know about this.
15:59But I can't pretend that I don't know.
16:02Not after today.
16:03I know you can't.
16:04So if you want my help, all you have to do is ask.
16:09No strings attached.
16:10It'll be our little secret.
16:13Why would you do that?
16:15You were there for me last night.
16:16It's my turn to be there for you.
16:19And despite everything that's happened, I care about you.
16:24I don't want you to have to do this alone.
16:31I lost my relationship with Belle because I was stupid enough to think that I had everything under control.
16:39I'd hate for you to make the same mistake with Drew.
16:43Well, who said that you don't have it in you to be different?
16:51What's she still doing here?
16:53I was just going.
17:02Amanda, I'll, um, I'll keep it in mind.
17:06Keep what in mind?
17:09Well, she said she might like to shout me lunch to say thank you for last night.
17:12You're not seriously going to let her buy you lunch, are you?
17:13I don't know, maybe.
17:14Well, when is everyone going to get it?
17:16Okay, the only person Amanda Vale cares about is herself.
17:18I mean, you told me that.
17:19Yeah, I know.
17:19Hey, no, no, no. If she's being nice to you, it's because there's something in it for her.
17:22End of story.
17:31Well, 20 bucks says it's that gang from up the coast, but we don't have any proof, so...
17:36Hmm.
17:38Sorry, you don't want to talk about work, do you?
17:42No.
17:49Too many muffins before dinner, right?
17:51Yeah, it seems that way.
18:03It must be weird having, uh, Martha around now you guys have broken up.
18:09It is, and it isn't.
18:12We're best mates.
18:14She wants to be here for me.
18:16She's that sort of person.
18:18Yeah, I noticed.
18:21You really like her, don't you?
18:23I've seen the way that you two are around each other.
18:27It's obvious there's something.
18:33You should go for it.
18:36Sorry?
18:36I know it's going to seem weird for a while.
18:40Mate, you've just broken up. You need some time, alright?
18:42Look, Martha's made it pretty clear that our marriage is over.
18:45That's not going to change.
18:47If I hold her back, she's just going to end up resenting me.
19:12There.
19:24It's not going to be there.
