00:01Well, I've got better things to do with my time than chasing you all over the countryside.
00:05What do you care? You and Rachel don't even want me and I don't need you.
00:10Tam can come and stay with us for a few days or a week or whatever.
00:14If you don't want to accept my help for your sake, at least accept it for hers.
00:22What?
00:23She won't last long without her hot showers, her hair dryer or her coffee maker, trust.
00:27Yeah, until she gets a fuse box fixed.
00:29Yeah, but it doesn't matter because when she does, I'll stuff it up again.
00:40We belong together
00:44You and I forever and ever
00:48No matter where you are
00:52You're my guiding star
00:56Hold me in your arms
00:59Don't let me go
01:01I want to stay forever
01:05No soon we'd stay
01:08Home and away
01:16So, what else is there to do in this cruddy town?
01:18Drink. Go for a surf. Drink.
01:21Yeah.
01:22Wow.
01:22Exciting.
01:23What if you don't enter either of those?
01:28Pam, is that you?
01:35What are you doing out here? You must be getting ready for bed.
01:37I couldn't sleep.
01:39Who are those boys? I hope you haven't been drinking.
01:41No. I don't know them. I was just talking to them.
01:44Talking? You can hear the laugh and carry on from the other side of the park.
01:49Who cares? It's a free country.
01:51Tamp, come back here.
01:53Please apologise to Mrs Smart.
01:55But I ain't now.
01:59Sorry, Mrs Smart.
02:00Yes, we'll just try to be more considerate of other people in the future.
02:05Why don't you go and grab the hose? We'll put this thing out.
02:11We'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
02:13She's been nothing but trouble since she got here.
02:16If I were you, I'd be asking Brad to take her back.
02:24It'll take some planning, but that's half the fun. I think it is a great idea.
02:29Yeah, I should go. I'll call you tomorrow. We can talk details, yeah?
02:34Me too.
02:36Okay, sleep tight. Bye.
02:41I know you were talking to Hank. You don't have to heighten it.
02:44So what's the great idea?
02:46Hank thinks we should go travelling together somewhere overseas.
02:49Does he? What about uni?
02:51It's just for the summer. I'm not staying over there.
02:54Good.
02:55Because me and Maddie are going to need a mate in the city.
02:58If she gets into one of the unis in the city, we're going to move there.
03:01Are you serious? That would be awesome.
03:03Yeah, it'd be good. You know, we can still come home on the weekends. It's not too far.
03:06You're not my mum. You can't tell me what to do.
03:08What's the chopper?
03:09We shouldn't leave where people walk.
03:13I know. I'll talk to her.
03:15Again?
03:16If that was one of us, Sal would have snapped it by now.
03:19Except she's looking after Tam as a favourite to Brad, so she can't exactly calm down harder than her, can
03:23she?
03:23Well, she can, because he'd probably thank her for it. She's a brat.
03:36Hello? Tony, hi. Oh, no, no, I was just dozing off.
03:42What's going on?
03:43Um, how bad is she? Is she hurt?
03:46Great. Okay, well, um, thanks for letting us know. We'll be there as soon as we can. Bye.
03:51What is it?
03:52There's been a fire.
03:58Tony.
03:59Hey.
03:59You there, aren't you? No drood.
04:01You're sick of the sun.
04:02Is she okay? Where is she?
04:03Look, it's okay. She's sustained superficial burdens to her hands and is suffering from the effects of shock and smoke
04:08inhalation, but she's going to be fine.
04:10What happened?
04:11Uh, the fire was pretty much out of control when I got there, mate. Another few minutes and I don't
04:15know what all happened.
04:16Do you know how it started?
04:18She said something about a blackout. She lit some candles and must have gone to sleep and one fell over.
04:23See, that's strange. There was a blackout at the diner, too, tonight, but they told me it was an isolated
04:27case.
04:28Would you like to go and see Mum?
04:30Sorry?
04:30Well, she's shaken, but I'm sure she'd be pleased to see her son.
04:34Um, yeah, sure.
04:41I'll leave you till it.
04:43I'll leave you till it.
04:55How are you feeling?
05:01Oh, it's just a few blisters.
05:05More of a wake-up call, really.
05:08There was a point there where I didn't think I was going to get out of the house.
05:14And I just...
05:16I kept thinking.
05:18I can't die like this.
05:21I can't die.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:24Mum, please.
05:26I'm terrible, Mother.
05:30Just like my mum was.
05:32And I can see now that the money is your compensation to that.
05:39Maybe the fire is my punishment for everything I've put you through.
05:45But I know you don't believe me.
05:50No.
05:51No.
05:52No, it's not that.
05:53What do I do?
05:56I'm just...
05:57I'm glad you're okay, that's all.
05:59Oh, Drew.
06:02God knows I've never been there for you when you needed me.
06:08Do you think you can ever forgive me?
06:17No.
06:27You should have called me.
06:30Why?
06:31So you could both lie awake all night feeling guilty?
06:33No, I was part of the whole dumb idea.
06:35Jess could have died because of us.
06:36Yes, I know.
06:37I know that.
06:41Well, how is she?
06:42Is she all right?
06:44There's a bit of smoke inhalation and some blisters, but it's nothing serious.
06:48Luckily, Tony turned up when he did, otherwise it could have been a different story.
06:53I only wanted her to leave town.
06:54I didn't want her to end up in hospital.
06:56I mean, sure, yeah, she's done some dodgy things.
07:00But at the end of the day, she's still my mum.
07:02Can I remember?
07:05So what's the damage to Mum's house?
07:08I'm not sure yet.
07:10I went and had a look last night after I left the hospital.
07:13It was dark and the fireys wouldn't let me in there.
07:15I had a glimpse of the house and it's still there.
07:17I just...
07:18Where are you going?
07:19Where do you think?
07:21See how much damage we've done.
07:37Oh, my God.
07:39Look at this place.
07:40It's a miracle Jazz even got out alive.
07:45This is bad.
07:46This is worse than bad.
07:56Did you hear about the fire at Amanda's place?
07:58Yeah, did anybody get hurt?
07:59Well, Jazz is in hospital, but she's going to be fine.
08:02Apparently, she's very lucky.
08:03The place is a write-off.
08:04I might give Tony a ring.
08:05Yeah, good idea.
08:06Catch any fish?
08:07Oh, yeah, we've got plenty for lunch.
08:09Oh, good.
08:09Well, I'll put together a salad.
08:11It's been a while since we've had lunch together.
08:12Mm-hmm.
08:13Morning.
08:14I, uh, thought I was meeting you at your place.
08:16Oh, really?
08:16Why's that?
08:17Didn't Tam tell you we're going to the surf club this morning?
08:20Sorry.
08:21I forgot.
08:22I'll just go to the bathroom.
08:25I hope she hasn't been too much trouble.
08:27Um, oh, no, she's, um, she's been great.
08:29No trouble at all.
08:30Oh, really?
08:32Because I was going to say that Rachel's finished up her night shift duties,
08:35so, um, she could take her back, but if she's doing well...
08:39Oh, look, Tam's welcome to stay as long as she likes.
08:41Right, guys?
08:42Mm, no worries.
08:44All right, well, as long as you're sure.
08:46Look, why don't you join us for lunch?
08:48You can see for yourself.
08:49Oh, yeah, we've got plenty of fish.
08:50Oh, okay.
08:51Thanks, I might do that.
08:53Come on, let's get it over with.
08:56Cigarette.
08:56Yeah.
08:59No trouble?
09:00Have you lost your marbles, sir?
09:02Well, look, girls are nuisance.
09:03Why don't you just tell Brad the truth?
09:04She's his sister.
09:05Let him deal with it.
09:06Brad's got enough going on.
09:08Look, I think if we're just patient for a little bit longer, Tam will settle down.
09:12Yeah, well, if she doesn't, I reckon the rest of us will know that.
09:16What do you think was arson?
09:17Oh, not precisely, since it was the candle that directly caused the blaze.
09:21So what's the problem then?
09:23Well, the fact the fuse box is tampered with.
09:24It's got to have some bearing.
09:25You sure it was tampering?
09:26I mean, fuses blow all the time.
09:28Oh, the fire inspector is convinced that there wouldn't have been a blackout otherwise.
09:32So what we're dealing with is a deliberate act of vandalism that led to the fire.
09:36Well, who would do that?
09:38Well, forensics are dusting the fuse box for prints right now.
09:41We'll get to the bottom of it.
09:44How are things going at Sally's?
09:47Alright.
09:48Well, it must be good having other kids to hang out with.
09:52They do their own thing most of the time.
09:55What about Pippa?
09:56Isn't she gorgeous?
09:58She's three.
10:02Look, the only person I want to hang out with is my mum, and she's locked in some detox prison,
10:07isn't she?
10:08The retreat's not exactly a prison.
10:10At least if it was, I could visit her.
10:12Or call.
10:14I know things haven't been easy for you, Tam, but it's the rules of the centre.
10:18I guess they've got to remove her from all forms of contact so that she can break old habits.
10:23But listen, I really want to say that I'm proud of you for the effort that you're putting in at
10:27Sam's.
10:28It means a lot.
10:31This whole thing has gotten totally out of control.
10:33Mum is going to disown me when she finds out.
10:35What do you mean when she finds out?
10:37Are you serious, Drew?
10:38We have to tell the cops before they work out it was us.
10:40They might not.
10:41You heard what McGrath said.
10:42They're dusting for fingerprints.
10:44Well, it doesn't matter.
10:44I used to live there.
10:45Of course my prints are going to be everywhere.
10:47Drew.
10:48Well, the cops are pretty sure it was suspicious circumstances.
10:51But if nothing was taken, maybe it's just kids playing a prank.
10:54Yeah, yeah.
10:55If there's any news, I will give you a call.
10:57Okay.
10:57I'll wait.
10:58How is she?
11:00Angry, shocked, worried, sick.
11:01The insurance company's already warned her the money's going to take a while.
11:04Oh, God.
11:04What's her excuse this time?
11:06Well, apart from Amanda being behind in insurance payments,
11:08there's the added complication that the house is being sold,
11:11so it's going to be a thorough investigation.
11:13It could be years before she sees the money.
11:14If she sees the money.
11:16Are you saying that a man could lose everything?
11:18Well, it's not out of the question.
11:20We have to tell them.
11:22Tell us what?
11:25It was us.
11:27We tampered with the fuse box.
11:37Jez could have died in that fire.
11:38Well, we didn't know she was going to leave a candle burning.
11:40That's not the point, Drew, and you know it.
11:42So what happens now?
11:44Well, you don't have a choice.
11:45You're going to have to tell the police.
11:47I mean, do you both realise how serious this is?
11:49You're probably going to be charged.
11:51This could affect the rest of your lives.
11:53And then you get on the blower, you ring Amanda, you tell her everything.
11:58Can someone else tell her, please?
11:59She's just going to kill me.
12:02It's okay.
12:07I've had to hang on to this go-fow with you.
12:09I've kept showing up at all the right times.
12:15Good to go.
12:21Tony why did you come over last night and don't tell me it's because you're in the neighborhood
12:29I actually come over to finish things with you Jess come on you know as well as I do it's
12:35not
12:35gonna work we both want different things why does that have to matter so much well maybe you can deal
12:43with it and I hope that I could but I I just can't take relationships that casually I'm sorry if
12:49that's boring Jess but that's who I am too what is it look something I need to tell you now
13:05the damage
13:05is extensive it's gonna have to be demolished demolished are you serious that can't be right
13:10I'm a cop not a builder I'm just telling you what the fire inspector told me this cannot be happening
13:16so I'm afraid your mother's gonna have to take it up with their insurance people from here well I'm
13:20afraid she already has that was Amanda surprise surprise the insurance company saying they're
13:24not gonna pay up there's even a hint of foul play I'm so sorry not as sorry as I am
13:30of course Amanda
13:31will be fully compensated with or without the insurance money well how's that gonna happen
13:36I didn't think you had a sentient I my mom doesn't have the money but I do I'm gonna use
13:41the
13:41inheritance to pay for the house I caused the damage so I should be the one to fix it

18:39well
18:39Jazz isn't my favourite person but to think she's lost absolutely everything
18:43it's such a waste the whole thing
18:44I mean to think what Drew could have done with that money
18:46anyway sorry mate how's things with your sister
18:49yeah not too bad actually Tam seems to be settling down nicely at South
18:52it's obviously just what she needed
18:53oh it might be what she needs but the rest of us could do without it
18:58Colleen
18:58and what do you mean by that
18:59well only that she's been nothing but trouble to Sally from the minute she landed on her doorstep
19:04oh Sal said that she's been great
19:09oh
19:10should've known
19:12this is nice
19:13it's just a shame Pippa had such a restless night with a cold I'd go up and wake her
19:17do you know how far away Brad is
19:19oh I'm sure he'll be here soon enough
19:22so um how's the scooter going I heard you revving it up out there before
19:25yeah pretty good I think I'll take it out for a run a bit later on
19:28well that sounds like fun
19:29you know I used to have an old posties bike
19:33really?
19:33can't seem to picture you as a cool biker dude in this suit
19:36ah that's probably cause I wasn't

19:42this one time at this pub that mum and I used to hang out at
