00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:16Neighbors should be there for one another. That's when good neighbors become good friends.
00:34Anyway, I gave him a call earlier. By the sound of things, he'd been up just about all night.
00:39And he couldn't save anything. He's pretty cut up about it.
00:42It wouldn't be, mate. I wish I'd known. So I could have helped in some way. I mean, at least been there.
00:48Don't worry, the rest of us were there. Somehow, I don't think it really made that much of a difference.
00:53Poor Jim.
00:55Yeah. And what's worrying me now is whether I should tell Dad. I think Ross is ripping him off.
01:00Doesn't he already have enough on his plate?
01:03Listen, what happened when you delivered that last packet of money that Ross gave you?
01:08Well, Mr Green, the guy I delivered it to, gave me an envelope, right?
01:11Mm-hmm. And?
01:12Well, I checked it out, and it had a letter accepting the tender.
01:15Hmm.
01:17That in itself doesn't really prove that Ross is up to anything. Mind you, it doesn't sound good, but...
01:21So should I tell Dad now, or shouldn't I?
01:24If you tell him now, would you be able to prove it?
01:27Given that any evidence there might have been was probably destroyed in a fire.
01:31I don't know. Maybe you're right, yeah.
01:35Well, maybe that's a good enough reason to leave it alone for the moment.
01:38At least let Dad catch his breath in.
01:40Okay, well, that's it, I guess. The decision for the moment is that we make no decision, right?
01:44Yeah, more or less.
01:46We'll have to do for now. Anyway, I'd better get to the workshop, see how Charlene's making out.
01:50Okay. Say g'day to the phone.
01:51Yeah, I will.
01:52Thanks again for the help, okay?
01:54Thanks. Cheers, Scott.
01:56What help?
01:57Poor Dad.
01:58Well, at least you've still got the workshop.
02:01Oh, Gail, I wouldn't mention that right now if I were you.
02:03Why not?
02:05What's the use of a workshop when you don't have a mechanic?
02:10Oh.
02:14Hi, Mrs. Daniels.
02:15Are you here to pick up Lucy?
02:17If she was, she wouldn't be here, would she?
02:19I'm picking her up at the station at four o'clock. In the meantime, I'm here to keep you company.
02:23Can I come with you when you go?
02:24If you like, both of you can.
02:26How about you kids leaving us alone for a bit, hmm?
02:29Are you gonna talk about the fire?
02:30Uncle Jim's already told us about it.
02:32Then you won't need to hear any more, will you?
02:34You promise you'll tell us when you go for Lucy?
02:36I promise.
02:37Can't wait to see her.
02:39I don't see any need to burden them with any more of it.
02:42Anyway, it's not certain yet that it was arson.
02:44Are they suggesting it's someone you know?
02:46I don't know.
02:48I don't think so.
02:49I mean, I can't imagine anyone who would even contemplate such a thing.
02:52No disgruntled employees?
02:54Not that I know of.
02:56Well, there was one that Scott was talking to.
02:59Why didn't he tell me?
03:01He probably didn't want to cause any trouble.
03:03Apparently he bumped into this young man who'd just been sacked and he spoke very critically of Ross.
03:08Seemed to think he'd been treated unfairly.
03:10Well, most people who get fired feel that way. It's just the way it goes.
03:13Still, it might be worth having a word with Scott.
03:16Yeah.
03:18But at the moment, I think a cup of coffee feels much more important.
03:23It's going to be a long day.
03:25I don't know, without taking a look at it, but it sounds like your brake linings are shot.
03:31Monday could be alright, but I can't guarantee it.
03:35Maybe you should take it somewhere else.
03:37Sorry, but without a mechanic here, I can't take bookings for repairs.
03:42Yeah.
03:44Well, I just wish I could have helped.
03:48Bye.
03:50Slacker.
03:52What were you on about?
03:53Well, the only car you're working on is Willie and he doesn't even count.
03:56Better than sitting around twiddling my phones.
03:59That was another customer I had to knock back because I can't do the repairs.
04:03I don't know, you could always wing it, couldn't you?
04:06And what happens when they find out I'm not qualified and sue the workshop?
04:09Well, it's better than closing down the place altogether, isn't it?
04:13Forget the right ideas, Scott.
04:14I think I can live without them right now.
04:17Look, Charlene, I hate to depress you, but if Dad can't find another mechanic,
04:21then he is going to have to close the place down.
04:24Great.
04:26It could happen.
04:28Not this time.
04:30It's your Dad's only business now and he can't afford to close it down.
04:36Can he?
04:37Is there anything I should tell you, Helen, before I set off for work?
04:42Um, as to where you keep the detergent?
04:45Sorry, stupid question.
04:46My mind's a bit soggy after all the drama of yesterday.
04:49I'm not surprised.
04:50It's shaken us all up a bit.
04:52Bye, Helen.
04:53Have you asked Uncle Jim yet?
04:55Ask Uncle Jim what?
04:57About the guinea pigs.
04:58We don't have any guinea pigs.
04:59We do now.
05:00Katie's brought a couple home to mind over the school holidays.
05:02They're not in the house, are they?
05:03No, they're in the hutch under the cubby and they stink.
05:06They do not!
05:07The point is the wire netting has come loose and we thought you might be able to have a look at it.
05:11Beverly, I have more than enough on my plate at the moment without having to worry about guinea pigs.
05:15Well, I suppose I could ask Henry.
05:17Why don't I do it? I'm sure it can't be too difficult.
05:19It's not your problem, Helen.
05:21Alright, I'll do it.
05:22Now?
05:23When I'm ready.
05:24Hi, where is everyone?
05:26It's Lucy!
05:27Lucy's home!
05:28I didn't suggest you back till this afternoon.
05:30Neither did I.
05:33Aren't you pleased to see me?
05:41I don't know what you think you look like, but it doesn't impress me.
05:44And quite frankly, I'm appalled that Arlenwood would allow students to walk around like that.
05:48They don't.
05:49Oh, so apart from everything else, you're disobeying school rules.
05:52No.
05:53And you can take that silly smirk off your face.
05:55Come on darling, I'll help you unpack.
05:56Just a moment Helen, I haven't finished with her yet.
05:58I want an explanation.
06:01See?
06:02They're not real, they just pretend.
06:05Jackie and I caught an early train and her parents picked us up.
06:08So I went back to her place for a while.
06:11We decided I'd play a joke on you all.
06:13And Jackie helped me.
06:15It was to make up for missing April Fool's Day.
06:19I'm just sorry you're all so angry.
06:21Oh Lucy, we're not.
06:23Are we?
06:24No.
06:25Of course not darling, I'm sorry.
06:28I've got too much of my place at the moment.
06:31Am I forgiven?
06:33I'll think about it.
06:34Don't take too long about it.
06:37Welcome home.
06:38From all of us.
06:39But I've got to catch up with you later, otherwise I'm going to be late for surgery.
06:42Okay.
06:44Lucy, can I try on your earrings?
06:46Sure.
06:47And if it makes you any happier, the green brush is out.
06:50Makes me happier.
06:51Oh Gran, don't you starve.
06:53I wish I had a camera.
06:54You should have seen your face.
06:57That good, eh?
06:58That bad.
07:01Right, near the alternator.
07:02Is that just here?
07:05Why don't you even know what an alternator looks like?
07:08Should I?
07:09Well of course.
07:10All men are supposed to know about macho things like cars and putting out the garbage.
07:13Well not in this family.
07:15In this case, me bro, you brawn.
07:18You brawn.
07:19Oh, you brawn.
07:20Chicken whiff.
07:21If you hit me you're going to be sorry.
07:22Oh!
07:23Look, Charlotte, it was only in self-defense.
07:25Yeah well, so's this.
07:27Charlotte, that looked very romantic.
07:30It isn't meant to be.
07:31Still mucking about, are you?
07:34We still mucked.
07:35What are you doing back?
07:38Are you going to stay?
07:39Just long enough to see Gail and Paul.
07:40But I need you.
07:41Our mechanic worked last week and I haven't got anyone else.
07:44But what about him?
07:45He looks pretty handy with an oil can.
07:47Charlene is not very impressed with my mechanical ability, Mr Lewis.
07:52That's putting it mildly.
07:54Oh come on please, can't you stay?
07:56I'm sorry, love.
07:57I've got my hands full working in the pits for Turbo Turner.
08:01Oh well, it's worth a try.
08:03You've got time to see Mum though, haven't you?
08:05She's got heaps of things to tell you.
08:06Most definitely.
08:07I've got a few things to tell her to sell.
08:09Did you come here just to see me?
08:11Of course, she was one of my favorite girls.
08:13But I also came to see what your mechanic was like.
08:15Didn't come up to scratch, eh?
08:17As a matter of fact, he did.
08:19He left because of family problems.
08:21Ah.
08:22Is that having trouble finding someone else?
08:25Yeah, he's having trouble full stop.
08:28There.
08:29Now you two think you've got to escape from that?
08:31You have another thing coming.
08:32Thanks Uncle Jim.
08:33My pleasure.
08:34I'm an old hand at this sort of thing.
08:35Although I must admit I didn't think I'd be doing it again.
08:36Not after the mice, eh Dad?
08:37Don't remind me.
08:38What mice?
08:39Emma's.
08:40I was minding them and they got loose at Scott and Charlene's wedding.
08:42Did you catch me?
08:43Eventually, I don't want a repeat performance.
08:44Jim, Ross is here.
08:45Oh, coming.
08:46Ah, you two behave yourselves.
08:48They will.
08:49They're both boys.
08:50Poor Dad.
08:51It's really awful about the fire.
08:53Yeah, but at least he'll get the insurance money.
08:55Can we go play in the coming?
08:56Sure.
08:57Hey, you can tell us all about your new school and stuff.
08:59It's great.
09:00I will.
09:01I will.
09:02You can tell us all about your new school and stuff.
09:03It's great.
09:04I really like it.
09:05Emma's going to be so jealous.
09:06No, she won't.
09:07She wants to stay in Erin's Paris so she can be with Todd.
09:08Shut up, Katie.
09:09Why should I?
09:10It's true.
09:11Yeah?
09:12The prodigal returns.
09:13Oh, come on.
09:14I'm here.
09:15I'm here.
09:16I'm here.
09:17I'm here.
09:18I'm here.
09:19I'm here.
09:20I'm here.
09:21I'm here.
09:22I'm here.
09:23I'm here.
09:24I'm here.
09:25I'm here.
09:26I'm here.
09:27I'm here.
09:28I'm here.
09:29I'm here.
09:30I'm here.
09:31I'm here.
09:32I'm here.
09:33G'day.
09:34G'day, mate.
09:35Sorry to barge on you like this, but Jane wasn't at the desk.
09:37Ah!
09:38You know me well enough not to have to make an appointment.
09:39Go and have a seat.
09:40Oh.
09:41Come on if I do.
09:42So what brings you to this neck of the woods, or is that a secret?
09:44Well, I don't know about that, but it's a very important mission.
09:47I've got something to give you and Gail.
09:49And something to tell you both as well.
09:51What, good news?
09:52I think so.
09:53Well, come on, Gail.
09:54You can't hold out, are you?
09:55If you don't mind, I'd rather wait to tell the two of you together.
09:58Well, fair enough.
09:59I'll have a page right now.
10:01Gail is going to like this, isn't she?
10:03Oh, yes.
10:04As a matter of fact, I'm hoping she'll be delighted.
10:08Oh.
10:09Hello.
10:10Hello.
10:11Hello, you two.
10:12Hi.
10:13See Lucy out there?
10:15Yeah, she's looking good, isn't she?
10:17Tell that to her father.
10:18Hmm?
10:19Private joke.
10:20Oh, actually, it's Dad we wanted to see.
10:22Yeah, we thought we might be able to cheer him up a bit.
10:24I don't like your chances.
10:25He's had more bad news.
10:27At this stage, it looks as if the fire was arson.
10:30Someone did it on purpose?
10:32According to the insurance company.
10:33But they have no idea who it might be.
10:35I have.
10:36Of course.
10:37Scott, don't say that.
10:39Apart from anything else, he's in there with your father right now.
10:41And you know full well he had dinner at my flat last night.
10:45Hello.
10:46Hi.
10:47I'm not skipping work.
10:48We just decided to come home for lunch.
10:49Not allowed.
10:50Actually, I'm glad you're here.
10:51Scott, you might be able to throw some light on something for me.
10:52Yeah?
10:53Beverly said that you've been talking to one of our ex-employees.
10:55And last night, you wanted to tell me something, but we were interrupted.
10:56What was it?
10:57Did it have anything to do with the fire?
10:58Dad, I'm not really sure.
10:59But there's something I should tell you which you're not going to like one little bit.
11:04Anyway, that's what Jeff told me.
11:05And since I've been working there, I've pretty much decided that what he said was true.
11:20That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
11:26Though I'm not surprised at him slandering me.
11:30After all, I fired him.
11:31Are you sure it's not just Sourgraves?
11:32Yes, of course I am, Dad.
11:33Because everything happened just the way Jeff said it would.
11:34Like what?
11:35Well, like yesterday, right?
11:36You asked me to deliver a parcel, right?
11:37You told me not to enter it in the book.
11:38I opened it and found it was full of money.
11:39You opened company mail?
11:40It was the only way I could prove what you were up to.
11:43Dad, if you don't believe me, just ask Paul or Henry.
11:44They were there when I opened it.
11:45What is this?
11:46A family company mail?
11:47It was the only way I could prove what you were up to.
11:49Dad, if you don't believe me, just ask Paul or Henry.
11:50They were there when I opened it.
11:51What is this?
11:52A family company mail?
11:53Ross, was the money in the parcel?
11:54As a matter of fact, there was.
11:55But it was a private matter, nothing to do with the company.
11:56That's why I didn't want it entered.
11:57Well, you're getting very uptight for someone who's got nothing to hide.
11:58Scott!
11:59And you are on dangerous ground, mate.
12:02Apart from your slanderous accusations, you had no right to open anything that I gave
12:07you to deliver.
12:08Why did you open it?
12:09Dad, I told you I was looking for a lot of money.
12:11I didn't want to open it.
12:12I didn't want to open it.
12:13I didn't want to open it.
12:14I didn't want to open it.
12:15I didn't want to open it.
12:16I didn't want to open it.
12:17I didn't want to open it.
12:18I didn't want to open it.
12:19I didn't want to open anything that I gave you to deliver.
12:21Well, why did you open it?
12:22Dad, I told you I was looking for proof, which you don't seem to have found.
12:25Okay, okay.
12:26That's not the only evidence I got.
12:28After I handed over the money, Mr. Green gave me a letter accepting the tender.
12:33And yeah, I opened that too when I shouldn't have.
12:36Well, I'm afraid you're wrong about the tender, Scott.
12:38It was rejected.
12:40You can check with Bill Green.
12:42No, that won't be necessary.
12:44Dad, I am telling you the truth.
12:46I saw the letter.
12:47And Scott doesn't lie.
12:48I'm sure he doesn't, but then he's only been employed for a weekend as a junior.
12:52He wouldn't know.
12:54So you're saying this is all a big misunderstanding?
12:58Well, we all make mistakes in the beginning, Scott.
13:02Come on, there's no harm done.
13:08Ted!
13:09Hello, great to see you.
13:11I'm sorry I had to wait.
13:13You didn't want to see me, didn't you?
13:14Of course I did, you silly goose.
13:16Why didn't you tell us you were coming?
13:17I didn't want to spoil the surprise.
13:19The surprise is, I've got two.
13:21Oh, do you know anything about this?
13:23No, you wouldn't tell me a thing until you've got me.
13:25Well, now that you are, I won't keep you waiting.
13:27To the both of you, with my thanks.
13:29Oh, Dad.
13:30It's the $15,000 I owe you.
13:31Better late than ever, eh?
13:32Oh, Rob, that's wonderful.
13:33Hang on, where'd you get this?
13:34You haven't been gambling again.
13:35Calm down, the both of you.
13:36I earned it fair and square.
13:37That much?
13:38Turbo's been on a winning streak.
13:39And whenever he wins, he hands out a bonus.
13:40Rob, are you sure you can spare this?
13:41I mean, it's great to have it back, but I don't want to leave you broke.
13:43Of course I can afford it.
13:44I really appreciate the way you two got me out of a hole.
13:45Quick, let's spend it before he changes his mind.
13:47Okay.
13:48What's the second surprise?
13:49I mean, the first one's going to be a hard act to follow, though.
13:51Oh, second's even better.
13:52At least, I think so.
13:53I'm getting married again.
13:54Oh, God.
13:55I'm getting married again.
13:57I'm getting married again.
13:58Goodbye.
13:59How are you guys doing that?
14:00I'm getting married again.
14:02Oh, my God.
14:03How are you doing?
14:04Okay.
14:05I'm getting married again.
14:07I don't know who I am.
14:08I have three in the first one.
14:09I don't know who I am.
14:12I don't know who I am.
14:13Rob, you sly old doggy, good on you, mate
14:18What do you reckon, love?
14:22I'm thrilled, Dad
14:23You are?
14:24I'm thrilled to bits, of course I am
14:26Well, what's she like? Tell us
14:29Well, her name's Gloria
14:30You can work out for yourself while she's like when you meet her
14:33Well, is she here?
14:34No, she's a bit shy, she wanted me to break the news first
14:36But I'm sure I can persuade her to come to Ehrensburg for a visit
14:39Oh, you better
14:40If she's even half as nice as Mum was
14:42I know I'm going to love her
14:43I hope so, because I do
14:45Just think, we've got weeks and weeks
14:49We can go to the movies, lunar park, horse riding, anything
14:53Can we go to the beach?
14:55Hmm, if it's not too cold
14:56Well, I might not be able to spend that much time with you
14:58I've got to help Henry
15:00No problem, we can fit in whatever we do around you
15:03Can we go to the movies this afternoon?
15:06I was sort of planning to go to Ehrens
15:08Big deal
15:09You can go to the movies another time
15:11I want to catch up with what she's been doing
15:13I guess you can come along then
15:15What are you on about?
15:17Emma's my friend
15:18He wants to be alone with her
15:20So he can hold hands and kiss her and stuff
15:22Grow up, would you?
15:23Why don't you?
15:25You can come along if you want, I don't mind
15:26That's big of you
15:28I don't know how you stay so slim, the amount you eat
15:33I don't get this depressed very often
15:35Worried about Scott
15:37It's not fair
15:40The creep warner's making him look like he's either lying
15:43Or just too dumb to figure out what happened
15:45Jim knows he wouldn't lie and so do I
15:47But you think he might have made a mistake?
15:49That's what I'm hoping
15:50Okay
15:51Because if it comes to either Scott having a bit of egg on his face
15:56Or Jim having to cope with the knowledge that his partner is corrupt
16:00I'm afraid I'd rather go for the egg
16:02What's going to happen if he's right?
16:04I don't know
16:04I suppose the police will have to be called in
16:07And they'll cart Ross off to jail
16:10Good
16:10That's not very charitable
16:12It wasn't meant to be
16:14Thanks to Ross, Scott's job's been all mucked up
16:17It'll probably take him forever to get another one
16:20But he still has his cadetship offer
16:23Months away
16:24In the meantime, as usual, we're left with no money
16:27A while ago I thought we had it made
16:31We both had jobs
16:32Planning to get parts to fix Willie
16:34Then we thought we could save up to get a place of our own
16:37But now...
16:40If I said it'll get better in the end, would you believe me?
16:44I'm being a bit of a winter, aren't I?
16:46Ah, with some justification
16:48Well, the thing is, it's not just Scott's job, it's mine as well
16:51But your job isn't at risk
16:53Jim's delighted with your work, everyone is
16:55There won't be any work to be delighted with if we don't get a mechanic soon
16:59The workshop's not bringing in any money
17:02If it doesn't cover my wages, I don't see how he can keep it open
17:06Aren't you jumping the gun a bit?
17:09Not really
17:10Let's face it
17:12With the fire and everything, he's not going to have money to throw around
17:16No, that's another reason I'm hoping that Scott's wrong about Ross
17:19What do you mean?
17:21Well, as you know, the insurance company already think the fire might have been arse
17:25And if it turns out that Ross is taking money from the company
17:29I hate to think what will happen to Jim
17:32This really is a waste of everyone's time
17:40I don't know how you agreed to this, Jeff
17:41Scott's my son, Ross
17:43He has a right to explain himself
17:44I think he's had that chance already
17:45But you managed to talk your way out of it, right?
17:48Well, don't worry, Jeff Garrett will prove I wasn't making all this up
17:51Well, I hope that you realise the consequences of all this
17:54Dad, all I know is that I'm right, OK?
17:56It's pointless
17:57You've already said that, Ross
17:59G'day, Jeff
18:01What's going on?
18:03Look, mate, I don't want to hassle you
18:05But could you tell Dad what you told me about Mr Warner?
18:08I didn't tell you anything
18:09What do you mean?
18:11It was you who warned me against him
18:13You told me that whenever you delivered those parcels for him
18:17Without entering them in the book
18:19You always got a letter of acceptance in return
18:21I don't know what you're talking about
18:22Come on, Jeff, admit it
18:24My father's got a right to know
18:26Look, I didn't tell you anything
18:29And I haven't got time to talk to you now
18:30I'll see you
18:32Well, Scott
18:35Is that it?
18:36Thank you
