00:01Sam's my future. I love her. I want to start again. I want to build a family. So if I
00:09could
00:09just get this court order, I could... It's enough. I've heard everything I need to. You can write
00:14the affidavit. I'll sign it. You got the court order. Martha wanted the same thing I do. We both
00:22want to move on. Hi. Thank you so much for stopping. I've actually just run out of petrol and
00:33I... Jonah.
00:47Martha. Get away from me. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.
00:54Please, would you just let me explain? Leave me alone. I'm calling the cops. Okay. I'm going.
01:16I don't short notice and we're only doing a casual sort of a thing, but it's all free tomorrow.
01:20Of course I'll be at your engagement party, Jack. I wouldn't miss it for quid. Great.
01:24I'm going to organise the meat for the barbie, but if you could grab some drinks on your way
01:27home from work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No worries. Listen, Jack, I'm really happy for you and Sam,
01:34man. But wouldn't it be better if you waited until after the divorce come through? It'll
01:39come through soon enough and I really don't want to put up celebrating. Sam deserves it.
01:53Is there a problem? No, it's Martha. I'll call her back. Well, I thought things were
01:58amicable between you two. Yeah, they are. So why are you vetting a cause? We had a talk
02:05guess, eh? Things got pretty intense, so we've decided that we're just going to stay clear
02:11of each other for a while. You've made that decision before. Yeah, well, we're going to
02:15stick to it. So why is she calling? I don't know, Dad. Okay. Just leave it. I'll see you
02:21later. Carrots, beans, potatoes. Aren't you missing the main ingredient? A big leg of lamb? I've
02:30already called the book chat. He's ready for us to pick it up. Okay. And we need to go
02:33via the diner. I need to pick up dessert. You're going all out, aren't you? Yep. And
02:38I'm cooking the rice just the way Pop used to. Thanks for coming with me to get it all.
02:44Are you sure I'm right to carry your groceries? No, well, I made it over here, didn't I? Anyway,
02:49I had to get out of the house. Things have been kind of tense lately between me and Lucas. Yeah,
02:53because you both feel bad about what happened. Well, I'm the one who didn't get to play in the
02:56grand final. But your knee's getting better, right? Yeah, but... Sorry. Yeah. Do you ever
03:05just wish that we stayed on the farm? It's not really like Pop gave us much choice, did
03:09he? Well, I know what he did was crazy and wrong, but I still miss him. And I know he
03:14wasn't really aiming. He would never shoot us or Tony. No, that's no excuse. I miss our
03:20home. If he wants to apologise, I'll listen. Until then, he's on his own. But I'm worried
03:27about him. Being out there all alone with no one to take care of him, cook for him or make
03:32sure he even takes his medicine. Yeah, okay. I'm worried about him too, but what can we
03:36do? What's the status we could check on him? No, Annie, he doesn't want to see us. Yeah?
03:40You're not going over there and that's final. Jeff needed a hand, Dad. You couldn't just
03:45turn your back on him. Yeah, but if you ask me, it's about time Lucas got over the problem
03:48with him. Irene, what's up? Oi, is she alright? I don't know. I guess he could have been released.
04:06I just didn't think he'd be stupid enough to come back here. Actually, I'm tied up at the
04:12moment. But I tell you what, I'll call the station and see if Fitz or someone can meet
04:16you. Okay, give me a call if he shows up again. Well, that's why Martha called. What's going
04:25on? She ran out of petrol and the driver that she flagged down turned out to be Jonah Abraham.
04:30Oh, you're kidding. Well, shouldn't you get out there and find out what's going on? No,
04:33he's gone apparently and Irene's taking her some petrol. She just wanted the police to know.
04:38Oh, poor Martha. She must be terrified. Jack, surely you should get out there yourself and
04:43make sure she's okay. No, Irene's got it under control. Mate, hang on. Jack, I know you were
04:48trying to put some distance between you and Martha, but this is Jonah we're talking about.
04:52And if something happened out there, you would never forgive yourself.
05:01I'm with the stuff I can get back. Irene, it's me. I'll meet you there. And he just drove off.
05:08All right, look, just stay in the ute until Irene gets there, okay? All right, bye, love.
05:14Martha's safe then? Yeah, yeah, she's fine. She's pretty shaken up.
05:18Tell you what, what I want to know is why that Flamin' mongrel's out of jail anyway. I mean,
05:21if he was released, why the hell weren't we told? Oh, if I had my way, he'd be behind bars
05:26for good.
05:26All those dreadful things that he and that awful Mama Rose did to poor Tasha and to Martha.
05:31But has something happened to Martha?
05:33Uh, everything's under control. Oh, I don't suppose you've heard of a mob called the Believers,
05:37have you? In church? Yeah, but yeah, Reverend Hall mentioned them in the sermon at church.
05:41They ran a cult around here, right? Yeah, horrible, evil people they were. They lured away one of our
05:47local girls and, well, what they did was shameful. And then they tried to hook poor Martha in too.
05:53All right, all right. There's no need to frighten the living daylights out of the kids.
05:56Um, is Irene here? Uh, she's gone out to help Martha, but, uh, they'll be fine. Don't you worry,
06:02okay? It's all right. I tell you what, if that Flamin' Jonah so much as breathes on Martha,
06:10you'll wish he'd never been born.
06:33I've called the cops. They're on their way!
06:41Just leave me alone!
06:46Put you some petrol. That's it. I'm gonna go now, okay?
07:19I'm gonna go now, okay?
07:47Sorry I took so long, doll-
07:52Jonah what he turned up in yeah he came back and left it in the middle of the road and
07:57drove off
07:58why would he go out of his way to do something like that I don't know I thought it was
08:01a trick
08:01or something but then he left and he hasn't come back since well thank God for that you're safe
08:07that's the main thing come on down let's get you back home we better give Jack a call so why
08:11well
08:12I called him after I spoke to you told him you'd try to call it he's probably on his way
08:16out here
08:17now oh it's gonna be a waste of time
08:31what I'm done
08:35stay in the vehicle put your hands or I can see him
08:42so where is he now oh Jack's hauled him off to the cop shop can't believe they let him out
08:47in the
08:47first place I don't understand though why did he wait he could have just turned around and come and
08:52got me when I was feeling the car up doesn't make sense yeah well you're safe now love I'm really
08:55sorry about the fuel gauge don't I I just haven't driven the ute and I forgot all about getting it
08:59fixed don't worry about it granddad what are the odds to that like turning up like that I've been thinking
09:05about though what if it's not a coincidence what if he followed me out of town yeah it's odd isn't
09:10it that he wanted to help you out like that bring in the can of petrol ingratiating themselves to
09:15people as their stock in trade nobody would know what that place capable of what if he's come back
09:20to town to start that cold up on his own without Mama Rose the flaming LT doing here I'm sorry
09:30I know
09:30that you don't want to talk to him but he wanted to explain so I thought he best do it
09:33while I was here
09:34the only thing I want to explain is what the hell he's doing out of jail well he's on parole
09:38and he
09:38hasn't actually done anything wrong but I'm not here to make trouble I swear why are you here then
09:43I still own the farm that Mama Rose bought I'm just here long enough to get it ready to sell
09:46this is true yeah story checks out since I got out of jail I've been laying low the only reason
09:52I
09:52pulled over today was because you needed help then why the hell were you hiding up the road looking at
09:56her okay told Constable Holden I borrowed the petrol can from a guy that had just started to work for
10:00I was waiting for you to go so I could pick it up because I didn't want to tell him
10:02that I lost his
10:03property look Martha I don't blame you for not trusting me and what I did to you and Tash what
10:11I was involved in is unforgivable you got that right there are reasons I acted the way I did if
10:14you just if you let me explain the youth parked outside the petrol cans in the back take it and
10:18go
10:19I really think that we should talk please just if you heard a mate she's not interested neither of the
10:23rest of us why don't you just get back to wherever it is you came from I'm a case please
10:29if you step
10:32out of line and break parole and be all over you understand you okay fine Jack listen I'm really

11:06about the late notice mate but Martha's got it covered thanks Brenda I don't want to be alone in that
11:13apartment what's good distraction I guess I don't blame you love I'm sorry about what happened today
11:20yeah seeing him again must have brought back some pretty rotten memories yeah are you you worried
11:27about it you know about bumping into him again I guess I just feel stupid more than anything for
11:34what running out of petrol are calling Jack just when we'd agreed on the divorce and stepping back
11:40from each other what do I do the first sign of trouble I call him yeah but Jack's a cop
11:45and he's a cop
11:46who happens to know about your history with Jonah that's a problem though he knows my history about
11:51everything I just I can't keep relying on him like I do don't be too hard on yourself huh you've
11:58had a
11:58pretty rugged day why don't you just leave it at that eh when I looked in and saw Jonah's face

15:27get Reverend
15:27Hall involved well and he's worried about your grandfather Jeff and frankly so am I you can
15:31look after himself he's looked after the both of you for years and that excuses what he's done to us
15:38well you know what the Bible says about forgiveness Jeff yeah says you have to ask for it I mean
15:44it
15:44says you have to look into your soul and take responsibility for what you've done you're still
15:49waiting for him to ask and it also says do unto others as you would have them do to you
15:53how long
15:56are you going to wait to forgive your pop months years he's an old man he's not very well you
16:01really
16:01want to turn this into a battle of wills I'm not the one with the problem I wouldn't be so
16:08sure
16:08about that I'll let you know when I speak to it you must have been out there waiting for me
16:23kept
16:24saying he didn't want to hurt me he just wanted to talk I should have run the mongrel out of
16:28town
16:28while I had the chance yeah grabbing her like that it's gonna count as a soul surely that's exactly why
16:33we're going out of the police station the last thing I feel like doing is giving a statement for a
16:37few
16:37hours especially to Jack love the bloke attacked you you know he scared me he really did when he ran
16:44off it was almost as if he was more scared than I was I honestly believe he's just trying to
16:50stop me
16:50from screaming that he genuinely wanted to talk so what he just pounces on you around corners till
16:56you're prepared to listen no because I'm gonna head out of town I'm not going to give him the
17:00opportunity hopefully by the time I get back he's cleared out you're in no state to drive your granddad's
17:06right well I've already made plans I want to catch up with old friends I just need a distance I
17:12feel
17:12like I'm in danger at any point I'll call you well if that's what you want yes that's what I
17:19want
17:35hey I hope you don't mind me dropping me for lunch yeah as long as you don't want milk in
17:38your tea
17:39Jeff used it all up at breakfast and didn't bother replacing look I told you I was sorry okay I
17:43just
17:43got stuff going on at the moment yeah we've all got stuff going on but that doesn't stop the rest
17:47of
17:47us from functioning like normal human beings what did you want him to do Lucas go milk a cow
17:51would that make you happy I'm so sick of you two fighting Reverend Hall I wanted your classmate said
17:59I'd find you here did you end up going out to the farm yeah I did and your grandfather wasn't
18:04answering the door again but this time I let myself in so was he all right no from what I
18:10can
18:10gather he hasn't been eating properly and he hasn't kept up his medication so where is he now
18:15well I ran him into hospital they're gonna keep him in for the afternoon we're on some tests whoa
18:19whoa hold up and no you're not going there we let this happen we could have helped him and we
18:24did
18:24nothing no it's not our fault I don't care whose fault it is he needs us look I know this
18:29is none of
18:29my business yeah you're right okay it's not so why don't you stay out of it because I care
18:33about your sister look Lucas it's got nothing to do with you back off you stop it you can't tell
18:38me
18:38what to do I'm old enough to make my own decisions now I'm not a little kid anymore I don't
18:43care what
18:43you say I'm going to the hospital say pop are you coming with me or not so has he had
18:53a heart
18:54attack because Reverend Hall says he hasn't been taking his pills it's nothing that serious okay
18:58but I am concerned his condition has deteriorated since we last saw him his blood pressure is
19:02dangerously low your granddad can't go on like this if he doesn't look after himself he's going to
19:08need someone to look after him on a daily basis are you happy now well you know I never meant
19:14for
19:14anything like this to happen but the hospital can provide support services okay we'll talk more
19:19about that before your granddad goes home can we see him now yeah he's three there don't you dare say
19:24anything to upset him I'll be a little better off if I wasn't stuck in here the doctor said you
19:43haven't been looking after yourself I've got work to do that farm doesn't run itself okay you're trying
19:50to make us feel guilty you should remember why you're running it on your own I've got nothing
19:53to say to you maybe I've got something to say to you look at you pop you look awful that's
20:00none of
20:00your concern what about the farm there's no way you can run the stock by yourself anymore it's a bit
20:06late for you to start worrying about the stock isn't it you need help the Lord will provide he always
20:13does you and your sister made the choice to leave now you've got to live with it it wasn't our
20:18choice
