00:02Here, could you, uh, look after this place?
00:30Oh!
00:31Oh!
00:32Oh!
00:35I can't believe it.
00:38Oh!
00:42Oh!
00:49Oh!
00:50Oh!
00:51Shane!
00:52Oh!
00:53Shane!
00:56Shane's going to be all right.
00:58Oh, thank god.
00:59But, and it's a big but, there's some damage to his spinal cord.
01:15Des?
01:16Yep.
01:17Hi, you're late?
01:19Yeah.
01:19Had a bad day?
01:21Yeah, you could say that. Some freak hell at the bank.
01:24You're joking.
01:25No.
01:26Anyone hurt?
01:28Not at the bank.
01:29But, uh, there's been an accident.
01:35Look, love, I don't know how much shame means to you.
01:38Shame?
01:39He and young Danny are in hospital.
01:55Dad?
01:56It's okay, son.
01:58You're all right.
01:59What about Danny?
02:01Your mother's with him.
02:03He's all right, too.
02:07I feel funny.
02:15Hello, Shane.
02:16I'm Dr Lockyer.
02:19Hi.
02:22What's wrong with my chest?
02:24You broke a few ribs.
02:26Don't panic if it's hard to breathe.
02:27In a few days you'll be fine.
02:29Tell me what's wrong with me.
02:31Tell me what's wrong with me.
02:34Do you remember the accident?
02:37Yeah.
02:40At least...
02:41The car hitting me.
02:42Well, you've been knocked about quite a bit, and I'd like you to get some sleep.
02:46But tomorrow we'll have a long talk about it.
02:59I keep saying it happened.
03:02I kept dreaming about it and didn't tell anyone.
03:05It was only coincidence, Danny.
03:09Please, just get well.
03:11That's all you want from both of you.
03:15You'd tell me if he was going to die, wouldn't you, Mum?
03:18He's not going to die.
03:20Maria.
03:22Shane wants to see you.
03:25I'll be back soon.
03:29Go and talk to him.
03:32Please, Max.
03:44Hey.
03:45You all right?
03:47Yeah.
03:52Well, I'll be getting back to Shane then.
03:58Dad.
04:01Please tell me the truth about Shane.
04:03Tomorrow.
04:04Now, Dad.
04:08All right.
04:10He had a ruptured spleen.
04:12And doctors say he's got some spinal damage.
04:16They say he might be able to walk again.
04:20No more do I.
04:24I knew it.
04:29Should have been me, shouldn't it?
04:33Well, it wouldn't have mattered so much, would it?
04:37Should have been me.
04:39That's what we're both thinking, isn't it, Dad?
04:52Hello.
04:53Daphne.
04:55What are you doing here?
04:56I phoned a couple of times during the night.
04:59They said they might let me in to see Shane this morning.
05:01No, I don't think they will.
05:03How is he?
05:04They wouldn't tell me over the phone.
05:06Sit down, Doctor.
05:11There's some damage to his spine.
05:13The doctor's explaining to him now.
05:17Try again, Shane.
05:23Try your hand.
05:29I can't.
05:31Yes, you can.
05:33You're not paralyzed.
05:34Just keep remembering that.
05:36Now, move your toes.
05:40I can't do it.
05:42There is some bruising.
05:44We're sure it's only a temporary paralysis.
05:47Why don't you just tell me the truth?
05:49We are telling you the truth.
05:52Okay, rest now.
05:53We'll see you later.
05:56All right, nurse.
06:03Great, isn't it?
06:05What a thing to happen.
06:07You'll be okay.
06:09I know what they're talking about.
06:10Do they?
06:19Hi.
06:21Hi.
06:22One of the doctors said I could see him for a few minutes.
06:24Sure.
06:28Is it safe to kiss you?
06:30I'm not contagious.
06:32I meant was there any danger of you trying to drag me into that bed with you?
06:35No.
06:36There's no danger of that.
06:38Oh.
06:39Pity.
06:44Sorry.
06:46They've just told me that I'm not going to be diving again.
06:50So?
06:52He's convinced at the moment he can't move.
06:54But that'll pass.
06:56We'll start getting him up as soon as possible and giving him physio.
06:59Dr. Rowland said he wouldn't be able to dive again.
07:03No, diving's out.
07:05If he tries anything like that, the pressure on his spine could cause permanent paralysis.
07:09Could...
07:09Could...
07:10You mean...
07:12You're not sure?
07:14All right.
07:16Yes, I am sure.
07:18Don't let him try it, Mr. Ramsey.
07:21You'll have to rethink his life from now on.
07:23Anything very strenuous is out completely.
07:29Boy, have you been lucky?
07:31Lucky?
07:33Now diving's out, you can start planning a whole lot of new things.
07:36Like what?
07:38Like having lots of late nights with a blonde.
07:41Like having a fantastic holiday.
07:43Seeing Australia first.
07:44With the same blonde.
07:46Settling down and getting married.
07:49How about, um...
07:50Getting married?
07:52Sure, any girl would be only too happy to have a guy like you.
07:55I'm not really interested in anything like that.
07:58Oh.
07:59Well, if you ever change your mind, I know one who could be interested.
08:02I won't be changing my mind.
08:08I'd better go before I'm thrown out.
08:10Next time I'll bring flowers.
08:16She seems nice.
08:18Yeah.
08:18Yeah, she is.
08:19Is she your girlfriend?
08:22Not anymore.
08:29Hello.
08:30What's this?
08:31I made my mind up.
08:32I'm going back to school.
08:33Good.
08:33It's about time.
08:35After what happened to Denny and Shane,
08:37I suddenly realised it doesn't matter what the kids say to me.
08:40Well, we all told you that.
08:42Yeah.
08:44Have you heard any more about them?
08:46No.
08:47Maria said she'd ring when she has time,
08:49but the hospital won't say any more than the good old satisfactory.
08:55Do you think I should try and see Danny?
08:57Well, he's your best friend.
08:58What do you think?
09:01I just wish we hadn't had that rotten fight.
09:04You could tell him that.
09:16Hi.
09:17Hi.
09:18I've got a message from your big brother for you.
09:20He'd like to see him.
09:22No.
09:23Tell him I can't make it yet.
09:25I can take you through in a wheelchair.
09:26The doctor said it'd be OK.
09:27No, I don't want to.
09:30What's the matter, Danny?
09:31Don't you like Shane?
09:33Of course I like him.
09:35I'm just not up to it yet, that's all.
09:37OK.
09:38I'll tell him.
09:39Don't forget your dinner.
09:49G'day.
09:51Hi.
09:52You look all right.
09:55Broken ribs.
09:56A few stitches.
09:57That's all.
09:59How's Shane?
10:02Not good.
10:04I went back to school.
10:06Nothing's changed.
10:08You gonna eat that?
10:11No.
10:13You have it if you want.
10:15I'll have the sweets if you don't mind.
10:17Sure.
10:21You got a headache?
10:23Sort of.
10:27Hmm.
10:28This is good.
10:31I'm sorry about that fight.
10:33Yeah.
10:40How did it happen, the accident?
10:42I don't want to talk about it, OK?
10:44Sure.
10:47Anything you need?
10:50No.
10:54I'm probably gonna shoot through after this.
10:57What do you mean?
10:59Head up north.
11:01Surface, somewhere like that.
11:02Get a job, you know?
11:04Honest.
11:05Yeah.
11:07Why not?
11:08You want to come with me?
11:15As part of the Prime Minister's next overseas trip.
11:19There has been a further development in the Pacific Bank robbery.
11:22The man who robbed the bank at gunpoint three days ago
11:25has been positively identified by bank staff.
11:28The condition of the two young brothers injured in the police car chase
11:32is given as satisfactory.
11:34But doctors still aren't certain if Shane Ramsey,
11:37the young Olympic diving hope, will ever walk again.
11:49I'm sorry I'm late.
11:51I have to staff her away, identifying that freak who robbed the bank.
11:55Heard it on the news.
11:57Did you go and see Shane again today?
11:59Yeah, I took him some flowers.
12:01He's putting on a brave face, but he still can't move.
12:05The doctors keep telling him he'll be OK.
12:08But he almost broke down when I was there today
12:10and told me he just can't move his legs.
12:15Hey, come on, Dav.
12:17He's a real fighter.
12:20The guy at work was saying that, you know, these things take time.
12:27Poor Julie.
12:29Couldn't have been easy having to identify that man.
12:31Is she any better?
12:32Hmm.
12:33Your dad's talking to her now.
12:38Grandma, I think Danny blamed himself for the accident.
12:41Yes, Maria was telling me.
12:43It'll pass.
12:44Danny thinks the world of Shane.
12:46I wouldn't blame him if he did something stupid after all.
12:48It's like running away.
12:50Oh, he wouldn't do that.
12:53Is she coming out?
12:55No, I told her to rest for a while.
12:58But it certainly upset her all over again.
13:00She says she's suspicious of anyone who comes into the bank now.
13:02Hmm, well, I hate to say it, but I think it might be a good idea
13:05the way crime's increasing.
13:08Do you know I can remember when we didn't have to lock anything up?
13:11I don't think I might just pop next door and see if anyone's home.
13:14It won't be long.
13:16Oh, I'm sorry, love.
13:18What were you saying about Danny?
13:20Oh, nothing.
13:21There's something you said, that's all.
13:42Hello, Max.
13:44Yeah, coming, Jim.
13:47How are the boys?
13:48Oh, much the same.
13:50I had to have a break from it, mate.
13:53They, uh...
13:54They tell me Julie identified the mongrel had done it.
13:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
13:57Yeah, if he doesn't get what's coming to him, I'll kill him himself, mate.
14:00Hey, hey, come on.
14:01Don't even think like that.
14:02He'll get what's coming to him.
14:03Oh, I don't know so much.
14:04I mean, you hear about drug addicts and thieves
14:07ruining the lives of innocent people.
14:09They get away with it.
14:13He could have done it, Jim.
14:15He could have made the Olympics.
14:18It was my great dream, you know,
14:21to prove my son
14:22could make something of his life
14:24that he could take on the world and win.
14:29Well, the boys are alive, Max.
14:32Yeah, I know.
14:33I should be grateful, I suppose.
14:36But I'm not.
14:39I mean...
14:41Shane...
14:44Shane's not improving the way they said he would.
14:49And Danny...
14:50He said something to me, Jim.
14:52I wish I'd have told him it wasn't true, but I couldn't.
14:57He said it should have been him.
14:59It was badly hurt, not Shane.
15:00I mean, he accused me of thinking the same thing.
15:06Danny's a bit upset at the moment.
15:08No, no, no.
15:09You don't understand, mate.
15:11I mean, the boy was right.
15:14God help me.
15:16I did think it should have been him.
15:19We've been mates for years, Max.
15:21Ever since we were kids.
15:22And I'd have said I knew you pretty well.
15:24But I just don't understand what it is you've got against that kid.
15:27I'm nothing against Danny.
15:29Oh, come on.
15:31Man, I'd have to be blind not to see the way you live for Shane.
15:34There's got to be something more than the fact
15:36that he might have won a gold medal at the Olympics.
15:39Danny's a bit wild.
15:40We both know that.
15:41But underneath it all, he's a really nice kid.
15:43Nice kid?
15:44That's how little you know him.
15:47Well, I might know him a lot better than you think, Max.
15:51Until a few years ago, he used to come next door
15:53and unburden his soul to me.
15:57I used to make excuses for you,
15:58hoping that one day you might see him as he really is.
16:01But, I don't know,
16:04one day he just clammed up.
16:05Wouldn't talk about you anymore.
16:07There, see?
16:08Even once are the neighbours telling tales.
16:10And you!
16:11I mean, you say we're good mates,
16:13but it took till now for you to tell me a thing like that.
16:16I was only trying to help, Max.
16:19You know, the problem might be
16:21that he reminds you too much of yourself.
16:22Me?
16:23That'll be the day.
16:25If those two boys knew what a ratbag you were as a kid,
16:28you'd never live it down.
16:30I...
16:30You don't understand, Jim.
16:31You just...
16:32You know what you're talking about.
16:35I'll...
16:36I'll get back to the hospital.
16:37Oh, look up for us, will you?
16:53Hey, Des?
16:53All right, come on in, Jim.
16:55We've got a bit of a problem with young Julie.
16:58What's wrong?
17:00I'm not sure, really.
17:00You know, she got herself dressed all ready to go off to the bank
17:03and then she just started to cry.
17:05That's not like her.
17:07I've always thought of her as being Miss Cool.
17:09Well, she is Miss Cool.
17:10Well, she was until the hold-up.
17:12She said that when she went to identify that fella,
17:14he just stared at her.
17:15Made her want to be sick.
17:18I wonder if those guys have got any idea
17:19of the effect they have on people,
17:20the lives and the families they destroy.
17:22Yeah.
17:22Look, I'll pop next door and talk to her.
17:25Try and get her to take the day off.
17:26Why?
17:27We often have this reaction from tellers
17:28who've had a gun shoved in their face and...
17:32Hi.
17:33Hello, Mr. Robinson.
17:34Morning, Gaffney.
17:35Sorry I didn't get home last night, Des.
17:37Oh, I didn't notice you weren't in your room.
17:39Well, I'd better get off to work.
17:41All right.
17:42Don't worry about Julie.
17:43I'll fix it.
17:44Thanks, Des.
17:45See you later, Daphne.
17:46I'll be off, too.
17:49Well, I'll see you tonight.
17:51Or will I?
17:53I'll be here.
18:02And how are you today?
18:05Okay.
18:06I've got a surprise for you.
18:08We're having a picnic together.
18:11I've made your favourite Jeffers.
18:13Look.
18:14Mum, why did you do that?
18:16You know I'm not hungry.
18:18Please, Daddy, you must eat.
18:20Just try a taste.
18:22I can't, Mum.
18:23I don't want it.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:27No luck, eh?
18:30Well, young Daniel,
18:31I thought if your mum could get you to eat,
18:33it would save us having to shove a needle into your veins
18:35to feed you intravenously.
18:37I don't think you realise how serious all this can be
18:41if you don't help us to help you.
18:47Please.
18:49Don't blame yourself like this.
18:51I don't know why you're doing it.
18:54Should have been me, not Shane.
18:59Still no feeling, eh?
19:01No.
19:03You're a problem, Pierre.
19:05You and your young brother.
19:06It's as though neither of you wants to get well.
19:08What's wrong with Danny?
19:10We haven't bothered you with it until now.
19:12But he's not making progress.
19:15He won't eat,
19:16and he's blaming himself for your accident.
19:18That's stupid.
19:20How could it be his fault?
19:21That's what I thought.
19:23Do you two like each other?
19:25Of course we do.
19:26He's my kid brother.
19:27Then why is he refusing to come in here and see you?
19:30Refusing?
19:32I thought it was because he wasn't well enough.
19:34Oh, he was well enough until this setback.
19:38Well, can I go see him?
19:39Sorry.
19:40Too risky.
19:41We thought for a time you had some sort of hysterical paralysis.
19:47But as there's no movement yet...
19:51We'll start feeding his young brother intravenously.
20:05Why did you have to drag me into this for, Danny?
20:09Because you're my brother.
20:11If I can't turn to you, Shane,
20:13who can I turn to?
20:25Come on.
20:27Come on.
20:30Come on.
20:47Nurse?
20:50Nurse?
