00:00Are you alright mate?
00:03300 bucks went missing from the tram.
00:06Carl reckons I took it.
00:07But you can't dad.
00:08Getting the cops involved will make it 10 times worse.
00:10Felix didn't do it.
00:11Then where did the money go?
00:12I don't know but he wouldn't take it.
00:13Not after you've been so good to him.
00:14I don't want to think the worst of anyone, alright?
00:17Unfortunately with Felix's precedent, Carl seemed pretty certain.
00:20And to think I was the one who wanted to give Felix another chance.
00:22I absolutely won't make that mistake again.
00:25Felix only just got that job and started finding his feet.
00:27Why would he throw that away now?
00:28Do you guys think I did it?
00:31Oh, you know, we're just trying to wrap our heads around it all, mate.
00:37Whatever.
00:38One way or another, the truth will come out.
00:43Setting for the big night.
00:50Oh yeah, I love a little bit of ambiance.
00:53Are you coming to Boylaise?
00:55Ah, well it sounds like fun, but I don't think Byron wants me here.
00:58The kids have made it pretty clear I have to keep my distance.
01:00Oh, that's a shame.
01:03That means you get to miss out on my fantastic outfit.
01:07I believe it's going to turn a few heads.
01:08That definitely sounds worth the price of admission.
01:12But it's obviously the right call to respect the kids' wishes.
01:15I think so, yeah.
01:17Well, break a leg, I'm sure you'll knock them down.
01:21Thanks.
01:22I'll go.
01:23See ya.
01:24See ya.
01:28Cheers.
01:35Ta-da!
01:37What do you reckon?
01:38Oh, they came up a treat.
01:39They look great.
01:40Yes, well thank you.
01:41Do you know, I think your father got more paint on my shirt than he did on the cabinets.
01:45So what, should I use the tiny brush?
01:47Well, it saved me from having to throw that shirt out.
01:50Which reminds me, you should come to this Boylesque tonight.
01:54Well, I assume Byron would rather I skip it.
01:57Oh, surely not.
01:58It is for charity.
02:00I'll text him and ask.
02:01The whole neighbourhood's going to see me.
02:03Starkers.
02:04Why not dad as well?
02:05Make it even weirder.
02:06Honestly, I think he's coming because of mum.
02:10They're getting along weirdly well.
02:13It's actually sort of, kind of oddly sweet.
02:16Hang on, what's going on here?
02:17I thought we both agreed we weren't going to let our guard down around here.
02:19I'm not.
02:20I'm just letting you know that I think mum might be.
02:23And just so you know, I will have my eyes closed when you perform tonight.
02:27The Starkers thing.
02:29As you can see, the waterhole is currently undergoing its transformation.
02:33Beautiful.
02:34Hey, you're still going to be able to go on, mate.
02:36How's the heavy?
02:37Oh, don't you worry about me.
02:38I've reworked my act.
02:39I am still going to give the people what they want.
02:41It's going to be a huge hit, I can tell.
02:44Yeah, I wouldn't jump the gun if I were you.
02:47Well, this protest that Hilary and Moira have organised could derail everything.
02:50I thought you were sorting that out.
02:52Yeah, I tried, but I don't know if it's actually worked or not.
02:55I guess we'll find out tonight, won't we?
03:02Hey, Aaron.
03:03Hey.
03:04Are you excited for tonight?
03:05Yeah, I think it's going to be a blast.
03:06Yeah, can't wait.
03:07Especially that reveal.
03:08Yeah, I think as long as we can get everyone in the room up on their feet, that's the main thing.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Alright, well, see you tonight.
03:14Yeah.
03:15See?
03:16Mate, he has cartooned up our eyes every time I see him.
03:18What?
03:19No, I told you, he's just being friendly.
03:21You are so oblivious.
03:23He's the biggest smitten kitten that I've ever seen.
03:25So you don't even know if he's actually gay?
03:27Yeah, I do.
03:29Sam, can we get that microphone ready so we can be able to do a sound check?
03:32Good idea.
03:36Hey, guys, what's up?
03:38You seem a bit stressed.
03:39If you guys want to do one last minute rehearsal, we can run through the quarry again.
03:43It's not about the show.
03:45Carl's accused me of stealing from the tram.
03:47He's fired me.
03:48It's not true, but I can't prove it.
03:50Are the police formally involved?
03:53No, not yet.
03:55If this is still up in the air, maybe it's best you bow out of the performance.
03:58But I didn't do anything wrong.
04:00I believe you.
04:01But if Carl makes a big deal out of this, it could really derail the night.
04:05Right.
04:07Yeah, got it.
04:09I'm really sorry, Felix.
04:18Do you believe me?
04:20Yeah.
04:22Yeah, I do.
04:24You made so many changes for the better, I doubt you'd ruin that for a few hundred bucks.
04:28Thanks.
04:30That means a lot.
04:32Felix.
04:37I gave you the chance to prove yourself.
04:39And all you've done is show us exactly who you are.
04:41Hang on, let's not jump the gun here.
04:43I'm not even upset with you.
04:44I'm upset with myself for letting my guard down.
04:46But that won't happen again.
04:48This is a parole violation and theft.
04:51Now, brother or no brother, as a police officer, you have a responsibility to address this.
04:56What about innocent until proven guilty?
04:58Yeah, well, it seems that's only a matter of time.
05:02Because if Carl doesn't make a formal report, I will.
05:04Um, I've been thinking and tell me to zip it if I'm out of line.
05:19Sounding ominous.
05:21It's about Nicolette.
05:23I know she really misses living with Isla.
05:25Do you think you'll ever have her back under your roof?
05:28Probably.
05:30But it'll happen in its own time.
05:32Is this your cue to try and plead Nicolette's case?
05:36Step in and try and fix everything?
05:39No, not at all.
05:41I mean, I'd love to stick my oar in, but the kids have made it pretty clear it's not my place.
05:47We all appreciate you taking that on board.
05:49We all appreciate you taking that on board.
06:14Hey.
06:17I'm looking for you.
06:19Look, don't worry.
06:22Dad's just worked up right now, but I'll make him see some sense.
06:25Doesn't matter.
06:27Remy said she'll report me even if Carl doesn't.
06:30Well, then I'll work on convincing her too.
06:32And then the next person?
06:34And the next?
06:36Is that just my life now?
06:38Needing people to stick up for me?
06:42Maybe I should just accept it.
06:44From now on, whatever I do, people are only going to see my past.
06:48Hey, you can't think like that.
06:51You're religious now, right?
06:53That means that you believe good things happen to good people.
06:55It only ever that simple.
06:57Well, it should be.
06:59Otherwise, what's the point in having faith?
07:02Don't give up.
07:04I believe in you.
07:18Therese.
07:20I wanted to say sorry about intruding the other day.
07:22I should have called first.
07:24Oh, no, please, don't apologise.
07:26My migraine made me a little grumpy.
07:28Are you feeling better now, though?
07:30Yes, yes, I'm fine.
07:32Oh, good.
07:33So, where's Carl, I see?
07:35Great question.
07:37I thought you was meeting me here.
07:39Oh, thank you.
07:41Oh.
07:43Oh.
07:45Oh.
07:46Oh.
07:48Oh.
07:53If anyone starts singing I Dreamed a Dream, I'll meet you for a drink.
07:59Do you need a drink?
08:01Oh, I wouldn't say no to some bubbles.
08:03OK.
08:05What is it with you two?
08:07Oh, we just called an early dinner.
08:09Like a date?
08:11No.
08:13No, like two people with a lot of history catching up before their son's show.
08:16You two just seem awfully close all of a sudden, and it's making my head spin.
08:19Oh, just being civil.
08:21For the sake of the family, that is all.
08:23Hey, hey.
08:25You made it.
08:27Well, you weren't kidding about that effort.
08:29This whole thing?
08:31Oh, you should see it when I really make an effort.
08:33Hey.
08:35Hey, come here.
08:36You're going to want to see this.
08:37Is it a protest?
08:38Yeah.
08:42Stop the smut!
08:43Stop the smut!
08:44Stop the smut!
08:45Stop the smut!
08:49Is this it?
08:51Seems like it.
08:53But what happened to Hilary and Moira?
08:55I thought they were going to bring half of the IBE residents.
08:57Seems like those vouchers you got paid off, Dad.
08:59No, Susan said Moira didn't take them.
09:01I don't know.
09:02I'd still call her to win.
09:04Yeah, no complaints from me.
09:05Will you help me move them along?
09:06Thanks, guys.
09:07All right, folks, come on.
09:08You've made your points.
09:09Time to move it along.
09:10Look at this.
09:11I mean, it's a lot of pressure being the first.
09:12I've seen what you're showing, and nobody will be disappointed.
09:13Look, that's what I'm saying.
09:15What if I mess up and everything goes too fast,
09:16and I end up just showing the audience all my bits?
09:18Everything just comes out.
09:19It's hanging in the wind.
09:20It's just in the wind.
09:21Byron, Byron, we have bigger issues than that.
09:22Felix has pulled out.
09:23We're a man down.
09:24Okay, so the show's a little bit shorter.
09:25Is it really the end of the world?
09:27I could help.
09:29Oh, come on.
09:30You're a man short and not ready for the spotlight.
09:33Hey, show's gone.
09:39Welcome, my friends, to the home of your deepest desires.
09:42It's going to be hilarious.
09:44It's going to be cheeky.
09:46And when I say cheeky, I mean cheeky.
09:48And best of all, it's all for a fabulous cause.
09:52So, sit back, relax,
09:54and put your hands together
09:56for the lads of the Errands Bar.
09:58Joyless.
10:12Woo!
10:15Woo!
10:17Woo!
10:19Woo!
10:21Woo!
10:23Woo!
10:25Woo!

10:44Woo!
10:46Woo!
10:48Woo!
10:50Woo!
10:52Woo!
10:54By the way, someone in this room has been very, very bad.
10:59But it is my duty
11:01to pull them back into line.
11:03Woo!
11:05Now, would you like to come onto the stage with me?
11:08Woo!
11:10Woo!
11:12Woo!
11:14Woo!
11:16Woo!
11:18Woo!
11:20Woo!

11:34Woo!
11:36Woo!
11:38Woo!
11:40Woo!
11:42Hey.
11:44Oh, hey.
11:46I was just getting some fresh air.
11:48Yeah, me too.
11:50Oh, listen, thanks for my card and gift.
11:56You know, Therese, I really wish things were different.
11:59I miss you.
12:03I miss you too.
12:10I miss you too.
12:12I miss you too.
12:17Woo!
12:20Woo!
12:22Woo!
12:28Woo!
12:30Woo!
12:32Woo!
12:33Woo!
12:35Woo!
12:37Woo!
12:38Free as a river, sing it with me, he'll be free.
12:41Free as a river, yeah!
12:43One more time, he'll be free.
12:45Free as a river.
12:47Hooray!
12:49Hooray!
13:19Hooray!
13:21Hooray!
13:23Hooray!
13:25Hooray!
13:27Hooray!
13:29Hooray!
13:31Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
13:32It's taking too long, it's taking too long.
13:34Hooray!
13:36Hooray!
13:38So, shall I do the impromptu thing?
13:40Hooray!
13:43Oh, we have come down, we have lost the grand finale.
13:47But I promise, we won't leave you high and dry.
13:50Thanks, yeah, so will yours.
13:52I was thinking, afterwards, maybe we could get a drink.
13:55Oh, of course, yeah, that's it.
13:56We're all going to deserve a drink after this.
13:58Yeah, I was thinking, maybe just...
13:59So, ladies and gentlemen, one last time, give it up for the boys of the Evansborough Boylist!
14:17Hooray!
14:19Hooray!
14:21Hooray!
14:23Hooray!
14:25Hooray!
14:27Hooray!
14:29Hooray!
14:31Hooray!
14:33Hooray!
14:35Hooray!
14:37Hooray!
14:39Hooray!
14:41Hooray!
14:43Hooray!
14:45Hooray!
14:47Hooray!
14:49That was perfect, you should be so proud.
15:17Well, I've just spoken to the police youth outreach team and they are absolutely thrilled.
15:22Not to mention the brilliant PR it's been for Macedon.
15:25So what I'm hearing is that you were wrong to ever doubt me and it'll never happen again.
15:30Yeah, don't push it.
15:31I'm still confused as to why the protest was such a fizzle.
15:34Oh, I can shed some light on that.
15:36Irene Rising got hold of some free tickets for an over-70s swing dance event
15:40and Moira and Hilary were more than happy to take them off our hands.
15:44Really? And that was all you were doing?
15:46I couldn't possibly comment.
15:48Susan, you saved our butts. Thank you.
15:51Take the viewer.
15:52Got a sec?
15:57There you are. You missed the whole show.
16:00Yeah.
16:02What's going on?
16:04Something felt off about the whole tram situation so I spent some time sussing the place out.
16:09I thought I was the only amateur sleuth around here.
16:11I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you rifling through my business.
16:14Well, does this change your mind?
16:22Where did you find this?
16:24It had fallen down a gap between the counter and the register.
16:27But we searched there.
16:28Well, I had to unscrew that loose panel to get to it.
16:32It seems I was a bit careless.
16:35But not a bit.
16:36I knew it.
16:37I knew it.
16:40I feel excited.
16:42I don't know what to say. I'm mortified. I'm sorry.
16:45So am I.
16:48Can you accept my apology?
16:50And would you come back to work at the tram?
16:52Deal.
16:53Clean slate?
16:54Clean slate, yeah.
16:56I can't thank you enough.
17:00You were spectacular.
17:02You were funny, charming.
17:04You are far too kind.
17:06Not at all.
17:07As I mentioned, you look breathtaking.
17:09Yeah, you did.
17:10But you can do it again if you really want.
17:12Honestly, it was just so good that you could make it.
17:14Yeah.
17:16I saw a whole other side of you.
17:18And I don't just mean the outfit.
17:20You're a very special person now.
17:37I love you.
17:48Awesome.
17:50I'll do the same thing to her.
18:00I have to admit, it was odd seeing my child doing a striptease.
18:04I'm just impressed with his dance moves.
18:06Couldn't get his rhythm from me.
18:09Okay, well, I might head home. I need to pack.
18:12Pack? You're going away?
18:14Last minute decision.
18:16I'm going to Adelaide for a few days.
18:19I think it might be nice to visit Piper.
18:21Oh, that sounds lovely.
18:22Will you both be able to hold forward at work?
18:24Yes, yes, yes, of course.
18:25You just look after yourself.
18:27And give our love to Piper.
18:28I will. I will.
18:30I'll text you.
18:31Okay.
18:32Bye.
18:35Another round?
18:36Oh, no, I'm good. Thank you.
18:45I was surprised you invited Vic to join us for a nightcap.
18:49Oh?
18:50Surprised I?
18:52Because five minutes ago you didn't want to know him.
18:54Now you're getting on like a house on fire.
18:57You sound like Nicolette.
18:59Well, that just tells me that I'm right.
19:01Well, that just tells me that I'm right.
19:04Is there something going on between you two?
19:08I don't know.
19:10I suppose I realised I may have been a little hasty writing him off.
19:14He really is trying.
19:20Are you developing feelings for him again?
19:26He's caught me by surprise.
19:28More than anyone, I guess.
19:30I think I'm falling in love with him again.
