00:03You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever, no matter where you are, you're my guiding star.
00:19And from the very first moment I saw you, I never felt such emotion, I'm walking on it, just to
00:33know, you are there.
00:37Hold me in your arms, don't let me go, I want to stay forever, home and away with you each
00:50day.
00:54Let me be the one that you turn to, someone you can rely on, closer to each day, home and
01:07away.
01:11Thanks.
01:13What for?
01:14For putting up with me.
01:26Hello?
01:29Dad.
01:32You're not playing maths.
01:34You want to show Pip how clever you are, huh? Watch this.
01:42Um, where are the answers?
01:44He's doing it.
01:48Angel, I can't even do that in my head.
01:50I know.
01:51Kelly thinks I should get interested.
01:54What do you think?
01:55Well, he's obviously got a particular talent, I suppose it's a shame to not actually develop it.
02:01But don't you think it's not robbing him of his childhood?
02:03Well, I suppose it depends on how it's done, really.
02:06I just think it's so much pressure for a little kid though.
02:09Not nervous, are you?
02:11Well, I haven't seen him in a year.
02:12I'm having second thoughts.
02:13Not.
02:15I'm actually looking forward to it.
02:17Yeah.
02:19I don't know what we're going to talk about.
02:22Well, yeah, what you've been doing since your last story, is that what people usually talk about?
02:26Oh, yeah, just like that.
02:28I had a really bad drug problem.
02:30Oh, yeah, and the other night I was attacked as well.
02:32But hey, apart from everything, it's just great.
02:35God, I can't handle this.
02:40Who's going to ask me why I'm so happy?
02:42Why are you so happy?
02:43I don't know.
02:43I didn't think it showed that much.
02:45Look.
02:45Oh, the letter was from Hayley.
02:47Yes.
02:47Eight pages.
02:48Eight really, really, really long pages.
02:50Look, one, two, three.
02:51Yeah, we take your word for it there, Marilyn.
02:52Oh, you must be missing me all of literature on so many pages.
02:56Yeah, that's great, man.
02:59Anyway, see you later, okay?
03:01Oh, yeah, bye.
03:06A few hours a week of personal tutoring, that's all.
03:09You don't think that's too much?
03:11You don't like the idea?
03:12Well, I'm not totally against it, but personally, I prefer an education in all subjects, not just one.
03:17Don, aren't you missing the point?
03:18Which is what?
03:19Well, today's world is mathematics. Computers, technology, maths is everything.
03:23Maths is the base of it all.
03:25No, not completely.
03:27We're talking about a chance here for Dylan to be right up there at the cutting edge.
03:30Well, look, as much as I'd like to continue this, I'm afraid I need to be elsewhere.
03:33See, Don, even that watch on your arm, mate, that's a mini-computer.
03:35Oh, really?
03:37But our minds aren't, Stephen, at least not yet.
03:40So you don't think I should go ahead with it?
03:42Well, as Stephen pointed out, there are arguments on both sides.
03:46And?
03:47I wouldn't like to influence you either way.
03:49Well, I thought you'd be all for it.
03:51Why?
03:52Well, according to Travis.
03:53Oh, here we go.
03:54You just said you were pretty passionate about kids doing extracurricular stuff, so they don't get left behind.
03:58Yeah, it's as long as it's part of an all-round education.
04:00And I believe in hothousing for the sake of it.
04:03Hothousing?
04:04Look, I bet you if the kid was good at something like music, you wouldn't be knocking it at all,
04:07would you?
04:08Yeah, and I wouldn't assume he was going to be the next musical genius either.
04:11Oh, basically, Angel, it's up to you.
04:13But I'd really like to start coaching him.
04:15Well, it's a bit of a worry, I mean, if we don't encourage him.
04:19But like you said, if you want to get anywhere these days, you need maths, right?
04:23Right.
04:25It's your call.
04:28Chris, come on, we've got to go!
04:30What are you up to?
04:31I've got to take Chris over to Dylan's.
04:33In the meantime, I'm supposed to finish an assignment before we get back to school.
04:36I'll take it if you like.
04:37Are you serious?
04:38Yeah, no problem.
04:39Oh, that'd be great.
04:40Oh, is he in his room?
04:40Yeah, thanks a lot.
04:41Okay, no worries.
04:46Hi.
04:47Hi, I'm looking for a Hayden Ross.
04:49Sorry, but he doesn't live here.
04:52Well, are you sure?
04:53He gave me this address.
04:54He used to, but he moved out a couple of months ago.
04:57Oh, do you know where he's gone?
04:59Up north somewhere, some oil rig.
05:00Oh, we knew each other from Coober Pedy.
05:03I was hoping to catch up with him.
05:06Do you have his new address?
05:07Sorry.
05:08You could try his girlfriend.
05:10Girlfriend?
05:12And where would I find her?
05:16Maybe for Irene to say I should just tell him everything.
05:18She's not the one that has to do it.
05:22This is just so stupid.
05:23I thought I could ring him, he'd come back, he'd give me a hug and everything.
05:27It would be just like it used to be.
05:30You don't have to tell him about the other stuff.
05:33No, Irene's right.
05:34I do.
05:38Anyway, there's only one person who could give me a hug and really make me feel better.
05:44Like who?
05:46Yeah.
05:59What does that word say?
06:01How do you know?
06:02Well, try it, darling.
06:05Well, sound it out.
06:07What's the first letter sound like?
06:11Darling, you're going to have to learn words as well as numbers.
06:13They're just as important.
06:15Oh!
06:20Hi!
06:20Hey!
06:21Hey!
06:21Special delivery.
06:22One hot shot footy fire.
06:25Want to see what I can do on the computer?
06:27I think Chris is around the playroom's football.
06:30It's you!
06:30Mum just got it!
06:31I hear Stephen's taking the new maths prodigy under his wing.
06:34I'm a bit worried about it, actually.
06:36Why is that?
06:37Well, it's just interesting in everything else, like reading and drawing.
06:40Don't worry about it.
06:41He'll come back to it.
06:42Well, look at me.
06:43I did.
06:44Fabulously rich and well-known artist.
06:46I just don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
06:48Parents never do the right thing.
06:49It's a universal truth.
06:51What would you do?
06:52Well, basically, I'm against kids being pigeonholed.
06:54But if he enjoys it, why not?
06:56That splinter's where it hurts most if he keeps sitting on the fence like that.
06:59Yeah, right, right, right.
07:00But there is also the financial argument.
07:02What's that?
07:03Well, it could be the next Bill Gates.
07:04Imagine the amazing retirement home he could build you.
07:07Yeah, and don't agonise over it.
07:09All righty.
07:12Your one?
07:14Oh, no, thanks.
07:23Well, I suppose it's too light to call it off, eh?
07:26I suppose it is.
07:40Come in.
07:44Hello.
07:45Good night.
07:46Oh, this is Curtis, a friend of mine.
07:48Yeah, I recognise the face.
07:53Oh, did your dad get a hug?
08:01Oh, it's so good to see you, girl.
08:10So, did you end up tracking down your mother?
08:13Yeah, I saw her.
08:15It didn't work out, though.
08:20Look, no offence, but I'd like to spend a few moments alone with my daughter if you don't mind.
08:28Is that okay?
08:30Will I see you later?
08:31Sure.
08:38Look, why don't we go for a walk?
08:40Catch some of that sea breeze, eh?
08:42Sure, I'll just grab a jacket.
08:53Afternoon.
08:54Well, good day.
08:56Irene, isn't it?
08:59I appreciate you giving Chloe a roof.
09:01I couldn't very well leave her out on the street, could I?
09:05Yeah, well, I just wanted to thank you.
09:07She's a good kid.
09:09It's the least I could do for her.
09:11Oh, Irene.
09:12Dad and I are just going to go for a walk.
09:13We'll be back in about an hour.
09:15Okay, Dave.
09:16Nice to see you again.
09:20I was surprised when your Uncle Bill rang and said you wanted to see me.
09:25Been a whole year.
09:28After what I did, I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
09:34I deserved to.
09:37It's not a day goes by I don't think about it, you know.
09:42Turned it over in my mind.
09:45Wish it was just some sort of bad dream and that I'd wake up and there we'd be together again,
09:52just like it always was.
09:55Placing each day together.
09:58A team.
10:02I spend a lot of time on the road now.
10:06Mobile repairman.
10:08Any trouble with that is that it gives you a lot of time to think about how you'd change your
10:14life if you could have it all over again.
10:17Do you mean that?
10:19I wouldn't be here hoping that you'd forgive me if you didn't.
10:26But I didn't get me to talk about me.
10:29Let's talk about you.
10:32I've lost a whole year of watching you grow up.
10:35It's been happening.
10:38I don't know where to start.
10:40Well, you seem to be doing all right.
10:42You've got a nice boyfriend.
10:43You've got a reasonable place to stay.
10:45You look healthy.
10:48It's um, it's kind of hard to talk about.
10:52I'm sorry about your mother.
10:54I, I know I was wrong.
10:57I shouldn't have lied to you.
10:59You, you had a right to meet her.
11:02Yeah.
11:05That's all in the past.
11:07You and me, we've got to put that behind us.
11:14I don't know, Alice.
11:15I'd like to see things picked out for Chloe and her dad, but there's something about that bloke.
11:20You don't trust him?
11:21Well, I don't know what it is.
11:22I'm just hoping it doesn't backfire on her.
11:24Oh, me both.
11:25You've been hurt enough.
11:27Hi.
11:27I'm looking for Marilyn Chambers.
11:30Hi, Grace.
11:32Oh.
11:33Also, you're a friend of Hayden Ross.
11:36Yes, yes, I am.
11:37Well, as a matter of fact, um, we go out together.
11:39Well, I mean, we would be going out together if he wasn't working on an oil rig up north.
11:43But what I mean is, uh, we're not literally going out together, but we would be if we were in
11:48the same place at the same time.
11:49You know what I mean.
11:51Where do you ask?
11:52Oh, uh, my name's Susie Hudson.
11:54I'm an old friend of Hayden's, and I heard he was living here when I was in town, so I
11:57thought I'd look him up.
11:58Oh, well, what a shame.
11:59Um, I'll leave you to it.
12:01Me too.
12:02I, uh, don't suppose that you've got his address handy?
12:05Well, um, as a matter of fact, I did get a letter from him this morning.
12:08It said it was a locked bag or something, or a private bag, or is there such a thing as
12:12a locked private bag?
12:14I don't know.
12:16Well, actually, um, it's in my address book at home.
12:19Would you like to come home with me and I'll give it to you?
12:21Well, sure, if it's no trouble.
12:22Oh, no, it's no trouble at all. I'll just set this off.
12:25Irene, I'm just going to go home and get Hayden's dress.
12:28Love, are you sure about this?
12:30Well, yeah, why not?
12:31Well, what does she want it for?
12:33Well, because they're friends.
12:34Exactly.
12:35What sort of friends?
12:37Irene.
12:38Sorry, love, I'm just raising the obvious.
12:40Honestly, Irene, sometimes you're just too suspicious of people.
12:43All right.
12:50I'm saying it's easy.
12:53Why don't you give Chris a go, sweetheart?
12:54In a minute.
12:56No, now.
12:57He's just stupid anyway.
13:02Mom!
13:02Chris did not come over here to watch his show off and be rude to him.
13:06I'm sorry about that, darling.
13:07Then why don't you go outside and play some football for a while?
13:10I don't want to play football.
13:11Well, then give Chris a go.
13:14Dylan, now.
13:15All right.
13:20I usually leave it here, next to the phone.
13:22Well, what about the letter?
13:23Would it be on that?
13:24It could be.
13:25If it is, it could have saved us a trip.
13:29Oh, no, it isn't.
13:31It must be on the envelope.
13:32Now, where would that be?
13:33Now, I opened it in here and I went into the kitchen for a glass of orange juice.
13:39I wouldn't have to put it somewhere.
13:41Oh, I know.
13:42I put the envelope in the bin before I went into this fridge.
13:48Found it.
13:49Oh, good one.
13:51Oh, gosh, I knew I shouldn't have thrown that part down.
13:54Great.
13:56Well, you can still read it, but it's just.
13:58Here you go.
14:01So, how well do you know Hayton?
14:03Oh, you know, just good friends.
14:06Would you like a cup of something while you're here?
14:08No, I'm fine.
14:10Thanks again for your help.
14:11Oh, I didn't do much.
14:13Thanks again.
14:14Hi.
14:14Hi.
14:17Who's that?
14:18Oh, I'm friend Hayden's.
14:20Hello.
14:22You live here too, do you?
14:23Yes, I do.
14:24Gee, Irene must be making plenty of dough out of all you lot.
14:28Actually, we consider ourselves a really close family here.
14:31Unlike some, I know.
14:32Bye, Chloe.
14:36Sorry.
14:37No, water off a duck's back.
14:41Main thing is that you've landed on your feet.
14:44It hasn't all been great.
14:46I know, sweetheart.
14:49I know you've had a rough time, but...
14:53I've got a lot of making up.
14:54Something happened to me.
14:59What sort of something?
15:03I want you to listen really calmly, okay?
15:09Okay.
15:12Oh, God, this isn't easy.
15:14But I have to tell you.
15:17Chloe, that's why I'm here.
15:26So...
15:28What is it that you find so difficult to tell me?
15:33Did you find that missing sock?
15:35I am.
15:36No way.
15:36Not until you found that sock.
15:38Well, Mum.
15:40I mean it.
15:41I wanted to go on the computer.
15:43And I want you to find that sock.
15:45It's not fair.
15:46I think it's very fair.
15:48No, I'm dumb.
15:50What did you say?
15:53Fine.
15:53I was going to let you go on the computer after you found your sock,
15:56but now you're not going to go on it at all.
15:58Oh.
16:04So, how'd it go?
16:06It didn't.
16:07What do you mean?
16:09Everything was fine while we spoke about him.
16:12He even apologised for hitting me.
16:14That was pretty amazing.
16:16But?
16:19I told him what happened.
16:21And he could handle it about the drugs.
16:25But when I told him I was attacked, he just...
16:29He just went all quiet and he just walked out.
16:34You know, I've never seen him go like that before.
16:37It really freaked me out.
16:39It was like it was all my fault or something.
16:45No.
16:47You know, I...
16:49I know how I felt when I found out.
16:51It took me a while to get my head around it.
16:57Do you want me to hang around?
17:03Has your dad gone?
17:04Yeah.
17:05I'm sorry if I was a bit rude, Chloe.
17:07No, it's okay.
17:09That's funny.
17:10Have you seen the letter that Tayden sent me?
17:12It was just here.
17:13No, I'm sorry.
17:14Well, you must stop, Chloe.
17:15I left it on the table after I showed it to...
17:20Susie.
17:24Hi.
17:26Hi.
17:27I've changed my mind.
17:29I don't want Dylan to have the mask coaching.
17:32Why not?
17:32He's hard enough to handle it at the best of times.
17:34Now he's impossible.
17:36I know what you're saying.
17:37No, you don't, Stephen.
17:37He's turned into a brat.
17:40How about we give it some time?
17:41Let's see what happens.
17:42He's too young, Stephen.
17:43Well, that's the whole point.
17:44Teach him while he's young.
17:45While he enjoys it.
17:46I just want to leave it for a while, okay?
17:49Oh.
17:49No, it's your decision.
17:51I just hope you've got an answer for him when he gets older.
17:54When he wonders why you held him back with everyone else.
17:56When he could have been streets ahead.
18:04Would you mind explaining yourself?
18:06Sorry.
18:07I know I shouldn't have done it.
18:08But I just had to find out how he was.
18:10Well, he's fine.
18:11And he's mine.
18:13Well, I can see that.
18:15No.
18:16After all, he promised.
18:18He promised?
18:20It doesn't matter.
18:22It doesn't matter.
18:24It doesn't matter.
18:25No, it's nothing.
18:26I shouldn't have come here.
18:28I mean, he's in love with you.
18:31Please don't cry.
18:32I can't help it.
18:34I don't know what to do.
18:37I'm pregnant.
18:38Oh.
18:43Well, surely you...
18:44You don't mean to...
18:45To Hayden.
18:54Hello, Max.
18:58You know where it happened?
19:03Where what happened?
19:06Where that rotten mongrel attacked my daughter.
19:13I'm, uh...
19:13I'm not sure exactly, but, um...
19:16It's around here somewhere, I think.
19:30Are you all right?
19:46Well, like I said...
19:48He probably couldn't handle it.
19:49I mean...
19:50Some people are like that.
19:53I wish I knew where he was.
19:56Do you reckon he's left the bay?
19:58Maybe.
20:00Look...
20:02I reckon you should just forget about him.
20:03It's probably better like this anyway.
20:05Like what?
20:06Being totally alone without any family at all?
20:08It's okay for you.
20:09You've got people you can turn to.
20:10Well, you've got me.
20:11Where were you when it really mattered?
20:15Hey!
20:16What did you do to protect her then?
20:18What do you mean?
20:19When that animal attacked her.
20:20Dad, I tried to...
20:21Leave this to me.
20:22You didn't even have the decency to go with her.
20:25Oh, no.
20:26You just let her go home on her own.
20:27Along the beach in the dark.
20:29What does that say about you?
20:30It wasn't his fault.
20:31He should have been with you.
20:33If he'd been with you, it wouldn't have happened.
20:36Is that the way you young blokes operate these days?
20:39Take a young girl to the dance and then just let them find their own way home?
20:42I offered, I...
20:42Yeah, I told him I was going to get a lift home.
20:44He should have taken you home!
20:46As far as I'm concerned, Blondie, you're only one degree less guilty than the mongrel who actually did it to
20:52her.
20:57You know we belong together.
21:01You and I forever and ever.
21:05Until the end of time.
21:10I'm yours and you are mine.
21:13Ooh, I couldn't spend another minute living my life without you in it.
21:23It's suddenly clear.
21:27I will always lead you here.
21:32Hold me in your arms.
21:35Don't let me go.
