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?
00:32Oh, you know, we're just trying to wrap our heads around it all, mate.
00:38Whatever.
00:39One way or another the truth will come out.
00:40Scene for the big night.
00:41Oh yeah, I love a little bit of ambiance.
00:42Are you coming to Boyland?
00:43Ah, well it sounds like fun but I don't think Byron wants me here.
00:44He'll get some more work done.
00:45I'll be back.
00:46I'll be back.
00:47I'll be back.
00:48I'll be back.
00:49I'll be back.
00:50I'll be back.
00:51I'll be back.
00:52I'll be back.
00:53I'll be back.
00:54I'll be back.
00:55I'll be back.
00:56I'll be back.
00:57I'll be back.
00:58The kids have made it pretty clear I have to keep my distance.
01:01Oh, that's a shame.
01:02That means you get to miss out on my fantastic outfit.
01:06I believe it's going to turn a few heads.
01:08That definitely sounds worth the price of admission.
01:11But it's obviously the right call to respect the kids' wishes.
01:15I think so, yeah.
01:16Well, break a leg and I'm sure you'll knock them dead.
01:21Thanks.
01:22I'll go.
01:23See ya.
01:24See ya.
01:28Ta-da!
01:29What do you reckon?
01:30They came up a treat.
01:31They look great.
01:32Yes, well, thank you.
01:33Do you know, I think your father got more paint on my shirt than he did on the cabinets.
01:34So what, I should have used the tiny brush?
01:35Well, it saved me from having to throw that shirt out.
01:36Which reminds me, you should come to this boy-lesque tonight.
01:37Well, I assume Byron would rather I skip it?
01:38Well, I'm not sure.
01:39I'm not sure.
01:40I'm not sure.
01:41I'm not sure.
01:42I'm not sure.
01:43I'm not sure.
01:44I'm not sure.
01:45I'm not sure.
01:46I'm not sure.
01:47I'm not sure.
01:48I'm not sure.
01:49I'm not sure.
01:50I'm not sure.
01:51I'm not sure.
01:52I'll text him and ask.
01:53Well, the whole neighbourhood's gonna see me.
01:54Stalkers!
01:55Why not dad as well?
01:56Make it even weirder.
01:57Honestly, I think he's coming because of mum.
01:58They're getting along weirdly well.
01:59It's actually sorta, kinda, oddly sweet.
02:00Hang on, what's going on here?
02:01I thought we both agreed we weren't gonna let our guard down around here.
02:02I'm not.
02:03I'm just letting you know that I think mum might be a little bit too...
02:04I'm not.
02:05I'm just letting you know that I think mum might be a little bit too...
02:06I'm not.
02:07I'm just letting you know that I think mum might be a little bit too...
02:08I'm not.
02:09I'm not.
02:10I'm not.
02:11I'm not.
02:12I'm not.
02:13I'm not.
02:14I'm not.
02:15I'm not.
02:16I'm not.
02:17I'm not.
02:18I'm not.
02:19I'm not.
02:20I'm not.
02:21I'm not.
02:22I'm not.
02:23I'm not.
02:24I'm not.
02:25I'm not.
02:26I'm not.
02:27I'm not.
02:28I'm not.
02:29I'm not.
02:30I'm not.
02:31I'm not.
02:32I'm not.
02:33I'm not.
02:34I'm not.
02:35I'm not.
02:36I'm not.
02:37I'm not.
02:38I'm not.
02:39I'm not.
02:40I'm not.
02:41I'm not.
02:42I'm not.
02:43Mm-hm.
02:44Yeah I wouldn't jump the gun if I were you.
02:47Well his protests that Hilary and Moira have organised
02:49could derail him, innit.
02:50I thought you were sorting that out?
02:52Yeah I tried but I don't know if it's actually worked or not.
02:55Guess we'll find out tonight, won't we?
03:00Yeah.
03:02Hey, Aaron.
03:03Hey.
03:04Are you excited for tonight?
03:05Yeah.
03:06I think it's gonna be a blast.
03:07Yeah.
03:08I can't wait.
03:09Especially that reveal.
03:10Yeah I think as long as we can get everyone in the room up
03:11That's the main thing.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Alright, well, uh, see you tonight.
03:14Yeah!
03:15See?
03:16Mate, he has cartoon laugh-out-loud eyes every time he sees you.
03:19What?
03:20No, I told you, he's just being friendly.
03:22You are so oblivious.
03:23He's the biggest smitten kitten that I've ever seen.
03:25Christy, you don't even know if he's actually gay.
03:27Yeah, I do.
03:28Sam, can we get that microphone ready so we can be able to do a soundcheck?
03:33Good idea.
03:35Hey, guys, what's up?
03:36You seem a bit stressed.
03:37Guys, what's up?
03:38You seem a bit stressed.
03:39If you guys want to do a one-last-minute rehearsal, we can run through the quarry again.
03:42It'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.
03:51Are 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.
04:06Right.
04:07Yeah, got it.
04:09I'm really sorry, Felix.
04:18Do you believe me?
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.
04:47This is a parole violation and theft.
04:50Now, brother or no brother, as a police officer, you have a responsibility to address this.
04:55What about innocent until proven guilty?
04:57Yeah, well, it seems that's only a matter of time.
05:01Because if Carl doesn't make a formal report, I will.
05:04I've been thinking, and tell me to zip it if I'm out of line.
05:09Sounding ominous.
05:11It's about Nicolette.
05:13I know she really misses living with Isla.
05:16Do you think you'll ever have her back under your roof?
05:18Probably.
05:20But it'll happen in its own time.
05:23I'm sure you'll find a way.
05:25I'm sure you'll find a way.
05:27I'm sure you'll find a way.
05:29I'm sure you'll find a way.
05:30I'm sure you'll find a way.
05:31It'll happen in its own time.
05:35Is this your cue to try and plead Nicolette's case?
05:39Step in and try and fix everything?
05:41No, not at all.
05:43I mean, I'd love to stick my oar in, but the kids have made it pretty clear it's not my place.
05:49We all appreciate you taking that on board.
06:02The journey's just begun.
06:05Realising she has it too late and then it's gone.
06:11On the dark side...
06:14Hey.
06:17I've been looking for you.
06:21Look, don't worry.
06:23Dad's just worked up right now, but I'll make him see some sense.
06:26Doesn't matter.
06:28Remy said she'll report me even if Carl doesn't.
06:30Well then I'll work on convincing her too.
06:33And then the next person? And the next?
06:37Is that just my life now?
06:39Needing 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.
06:52You're religious now, right? That means that you believe good things happen to good people.
06:56If only it were that simple.
06:57Well, it should be. Otherwise what's the point in having faith?
07:02Don't give up.
07:04I believe in you.
07:28Therese.
07:30I wanted to say sorry about intruding the other day. I should have called first.
07:33Oh, no, please. Don't apologise.
07:35My migraine made me all grumpy.
07:37Are you feeling better now, though?
07:39Yes. Yes, I'm fine.
07:40Oh, good. So where's Carl, I see?
07:42Ah, great question. I thought you was meeting me here.
07:44Oh, thank you.
07:52If anyone starts singing I Dream a Dream, I'm ready for them to accept it.
07:58Do you need a drink?
08:00Oh, I wouldn't say no. Just some bubbles.
08:02OK.
08:04What is it with you two?
08:06Oh, we just called an early dinner.
08:08Like a date?
08:10No. No, like two people with a lot of history catching up before their son's show.
08:15What are you getting at?
08:17You two just seem awfully close all of a sudden and it's making my head spin.
08:20Just being civil. For the sake of the family, that is all.
08:23Hey.
08:25You made it.
08:27What's so exciting about that outfit?
08:29This whole thing?
08:31You should see it when I really make an effort.
08:33Wait. Come here. You're going to want to see this.
08:36Is it a protest?
08:38Yeah.
08:42Stop the smut! Stop the smut! Stop the smut! Stop the smut!
08:49Is this it?
08:51Seems like it.
08:53But what happened to Hilary and Moira? I thought they were going to bring half of the Irene residents.
08:57Have the vouchers you got paid off, Dad?
08:59No. Susan said Moira didn't take them.
09:01I'd still call it a win.
09:03Yeah. No complaints from me. Will you help me move them along?
09:06Thanks, guys.
09:08Alright, folks. Come on. You've made your points. It's time to move it along.
09:10Look at this. I mean, it's a lot of pressure being the first act.
09:12I've seen what you're showing and nobody will be disappointed.
09:14That's what I'm saying.
09:16What if I mess up and everything goes too fast and I end up just showing the audience all my bits?
09:19Everything just comes out. It's hanging in the wind.
09:21Byron! Byron! We have bigger issues than that. Felix has pulled out. We're a man down.
09:24Okay, so the show's a little bit shorter. Is it really the end of the world?
09:27I could help.
09:29Oh, come on. You'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.
09:43It's going to be hilarious!
09:45It's going to be cheeky. And when I say cheeky, I mean...
09:48Cheeky!
09:50And best of all, it's all for a fabulous cause.
09:54So, sit back, relax, and put your hands together for the lads of the Errands Bar.
10:24Woo!
10:26Woo!
10:28Woo!
10:30Woo!
10:32Woo!
10:34Woo!
10:36Woo!
10:38Woo!
10:40Woo!
10:42Woo!
10:44Woo!
10:46Woo!
10:48Woo!
10:50Woo!
10:52Woo!
10:54I know someone in this room has been very, very bad.
10:58But it is my duty to pull them back into line.
11:05Ma'am, would you like to come onto the stage with me?
11:13Woo!
11:15Woo!
11:17Woo!
11:19Woo!
11:21Woo!
11:22Woo!
11:24Woo!
11:41Hey.
11:43Oh, hey.
11:46I was just getting some fresh air.
11:48Yeah, me too.
11:49Oh, listen, thanks for my card and gift.
11:55You know, Therese, I really wish things were different.
11:59I miss you.
12:02I miss you too.
12:13Lickety split!
12:14Lickety split!
12:16Woo!
12:18It's Karl with a K, but I don't care what you say.
12:20I give bonus in every way.
12:22If you're in the know, don't hesitate.
12:24Come see me, I'll make you well.
12:26All right!
12:28My motor's on full, I'm just down the hall.
12:30Give me a shout, I'll be at your door.
12:32Just be smart when you make it,
12:34because I'm in control.
12:36I don't have to charge.
12:38Oh, you'll be free.
12:40Free as a river.
12:42Sing it with me.
12:44You'll be free.
12:46Free as a river.
12:48Hooray!
13:14Hooray!
13:31Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
13:33It's taking too long, it's taking too long.
13:35Hooray!
13:43We have come down to it at last,
13:45the grand finale.
13:47But I promise, we won't leave you high and dry.
13:50Thanks, is that all yours?
13:52Yeah, I was thinking afterwards,
13:54maybe we could get a drink.
13:56Oh, of course, yeah, that's it.
13:58We're all going to deserve a drink after this.
14:00Yeah, I was thinking...
14:02So, ladies and gentlemen,
14:04a round of applause for our boy, Les.
14:35Hooray!
14:37Hooray!
14:39Hooray!
14:41Hooray!
14:43Hooray!
14:45Hooray!
14:47Hooray!
14:49Hooray!
14:51Hooray!
14:53Hooray!
14:55Hooray!
14:57Hooray!
14:59Hooray!
15:01Hooray!
15:02Hooray!
15:04Hooray!
15:06Hooray!
15:08Hooray!
15:10Hooray!
15:12Hooray!
15:14That was perfect, you should be so proud.
15:16Yeah, I'll second that.
15:18Well, I've just spoken to the police youth outreach team
15:20and they are absolutely thrilled.
15:22Oh, not to mention the brilliant PR it's been for Macedon.
15:25Ah, so what I'm hearing is that you were wrong to ever doubt me
15:29and it'll never happen again.
15:30Yeah, don't push it.
15:32I'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.
15:52OK, have you got a sec?
15:57There you are.
15:58You missed the whole show.
16:00Yeah.
16:02What's going on?
16:04Something felt off about the whole tram situation
16:07so I spent some time sussing the place out.
16:09I thought I was the only amateur sleeping around here.
16:12I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you rifling through my business.
16:15Well, does this change your mind?
16:22Where did you find this?
16:24It had fallen down a gap between the counter and the register.
16:26But we searched there.
16:28Well, I had to unscrew that loose panel to get to it.
16:32Seems I was a bit careless.
16:34But not a bit.
16:36I knew it.
16:38I feel excited.
16:40I don't know what to say. I'm mortified. I'm sorry.
16:43So am I.
16:47Can you accept my apology?
16:49And would you come back to work at the tram?
16:51Deal.
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. I mentioned you looked breathtaking.
17:08Yeah, you did, but you can do it again if you really want.
17:11Honestly, 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.
17:25What's wrong with you?
17:27I don't know.
17:48What's up?
17:50Don't worry. I didn't say anything.
17:54What?
18:01I have to admit, it was odd seeing my child doing a striptease.
18:05I'm just impressed with his dance moves.
18:07He didn't get his rhythm from me.
18:10Okay, well, I might head home. I need to pack.
18:13Pack? You're going away?
18:15Last minute decision.
18:17I'm going to Adelaide for a few days.
18:20I think it might be nice to visit.
18:22Oh, that sounds lovely.
18:24Can I talk for a little while?
18:26Yes, yes, yes, of course. You just look after yourself.
18:28And give our love to Piper.
18:30I will. I will. I'll text you.
18:32Okay. Bye.
18:37Another round?
18:39No, I'm good. Thank you.
18:47I was surprised you invited Vic to join us for a nightcap.
18:51Oh? Surprised, I?
18:54Because five minutes ago you didn't want to know him.
18:56Now you're getting him like a house on fire.
18:59You sound like Nicolette.
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.
19:15He really is trying.
19:20Are you developing feelings for him again?
19:25He's caught me by surprise.
19:27More than anyone, I guess.
19:29I think I'm falling in love with him again.
