All Saints (1998) s01e14 Episode Script
Goodnight Sweetheart
1
Previously on All Saints -
One hour. That's all.
If you're not there on time,
I'll go without you.
I've got some bad news.
What is it?
ANSWERPHONE: Peter,
when you get this message,
could you come to All Saints?
How many units of blood
did they use?
Four or five.
Did they do a craniotomy?
Yes.
(weeps) I got there on time, Jen.
So, what do you reckon?
Are you in?
Forget it.
You've got to get back out there.
It's too soon.
I thought you were over Amanda.
I AM. I'm just not ready
for another relationship.
Who's talking relationship?
I'm talking date.
Have you seen my mug?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
I don't believe you touched my mug!
That mug is sacred.
It matches my keyring.
You've got it very bad.
You say yes to a date,
and I get us a couple of babes.
Emily's got a friend.
I told you it was too soon.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it!
So what?
So what? So Gazza the Head's
been taken to All Saints.
We forgot to set our alarm?
Have you heard?
JAZ: What?
Gary Headley's been injured.
He should be back from theatre soon.
He's coming here?
Who's been assigned?
Jared.
You're kidding me!
How about that?!
Where's the justice in that?
He's that football guy, isn't he?
That football guy? Hello.
He plays centre for the Cougars.
The guy's a total legend.
So, what is it, Bron?
His knee or his groin?
His girlfriend.
Stabbed him with a kitchen knife.
Thanks.
I'm here, Jen.
Please
Jen, open your eyes.
STEPH: Marian Turner's
in for a biopsy.
Keep an eye on her,
she's feeling a bit scared.
In the bed next to her, the lovely
Sharon Hardy for breast implants.
I don't understand cosmetic surgery.
Would you do it?
No!
You don't need to.
I wouldn't mind a bit more, though.
For God's sake.
You are what you are.
Any further word on Jenny Morrison?
She's still unconscious.
I'm sick of all this water.
It's the only way to flush
those kidney stones.
A beer would work just as well.
(laughs) Not quite.
Tell them I'll release a statement
in the next hour.
The phone needs to be free.
I know.
Who is he?
The footballer's manager.
He's set up shop.
We're a hospital.
There could be an emergency.
Okay. Let me handle it.
I'm sorry, Mr Casey,
but you can't tie up this phone.
Okay, good. Thank you.
I'll see you later. Bye.
It's not my fault.
She won't let me use my mobile.
She's right. Go outside and use it.
PHONE RINGS
Hello.
DOOR KNOCK
Yep.
Terri.
Yep.
Um, I know this isn't a good time.
What is it?
Well, I want to look after
Gary Headley.
Do you really think he'd like a
Cougars fan dribbling all over him?
No, it's no big deal.
I want him to have the care of
someone who's aware of his needs.
Alright.
You sort it out with Steph, okay?
Okay.
Yes!
Jared. You're looking after
Mr Cummins.
I'm looking after that football guy.
No, not any more.
Fine by me.
You went to Terri?!
She didn't mind us swapping.
You don't think
she's got enough on her mind?
Here he comes now. The infamous
Gazza the Knob and entourage.
Gazza the Head.
Connor, you got your autograph book?
As if I'd be that uncool.
Gazza, mate. How are you holding up?
Oh, Stevo.
Okay, let's get you
through to that room.
I'll take over, thanks.
(groans)
Gary, we need you to take
some deep breaths, mate.
You're killing me, mate.
(moans) Oh, Jesus.
Can't you get him some painkillers?
As soon as we get him settled in.
Mate, I'm not trying
to make this worse, I swear.
You reckon?
Doc, I can hardly move it.
There would have been pressure
from the build-up of blood.
That's what could be
restricting your movement.
She got you in a tricky spot.
There's a lot of nerves.
You have to wait to see
if there's permanent damage.
I'm stuffed?!
I didn't say that, Gaz.
She had the kitchen knife
It was an unprovoked attack.
She was trying to kill him.
Malicious wounding's a joke.
As far as I'm concerned,
it's attempted murder.
Is he for real?!
What's going on with Gazza?
He reckons it's attempted murder.
She did stab him!
The doctor reckons there could be
permanent nerve damage.
It's too early for them to say that.
It's a possibility,
and Gazza's freaking out.
It sounds a bit suss, if you ask me.
I'd love to stay and talk
conspiracy theories
I've got a budget review meeting.
I should be about an hour or so.
I'll pop into ICU on the way back.
Is everything alright?
Yeah, but Casey
won't get off the phone.
I'm on hold.
If you want to make a phone call,
you have to use the public phones.
I've been through all this.
You will not tie up a hospital
phone. Is that understood?
Thank you.
Thanks, Sister Sullivan.
Why can't I do it like that?
Friends in high places.
Gazza asked
when the solicitor's due.
He's on his way now.
Oh, Sophie Williams.
Richard, hello.
You're here with the footballer.
That's right.
Cushiest job ever,
being a club doctor.
That's what Harry used to say.
I was sorry to hear what happened.
Oh, thank you.
Anyway, I'd better go.
Hey, mine are going to be
bigger than that.
Aren't you scared of the operation?
When you've had your man
run off with another woman
who was bursting out of her top,
going under the knife's easy.
Stanley has a thing
about big breasts.
You can have your
pre-op shower now, Mrs Hardy.
Ah, Marian, this is Dr Forlano.
He'll be assisting
in your operation.
Hi. Sister Williams tells me you're
a bit nervous about this surgery.
Well, the procedure's
a relatively simple one.
The operation won't take long.
We'll get the pathology done
and we'll have the results tomorrow.
And, if it's cancer
..I might lose my breast?
These days we try and take
only what's absolutely necessary.
Anyway, let's not jump the gun.
We can discuss this more tomorrow
when we get your pathology results.
That's good.
I'm Connor Costello.
I'll be looking after you today.
Mate, it's starting to
hurt a little bit, eh?
Can I get something for it?
Your next injection's
not due for a bit.
I guess this means you'll be
out of the game on Saturday.
Well, I'd throw a pretty dud pass
like this, wouldn't I?
To be honest, I don't reckon
the Saints stand a chance.
You guys will be all over them.
You're into the Cougars?
Yes. Since I was a kid.
I go to every game.
Even when they were wooden spooners?
You follow a team.
You're there for the good times
and the bad.
You don't see much of
that sort of loyalty these days.
Well, since you joined the firsts,
mate, we haven't had a bad season.
Every team needs a playmaker, mate.
Somebody who can make something
out of nothing.
That's why
you're important to the side.
I don't want to sound up myself,
but as long as I can stay
on the field every week,
I reckon we'll go all the way.
The premiership?
You bet.
The thing is, I think I'll be out
for the rest of the season.
It's early days yet. I mean
I've got this tingling feeling
in my arm and hand.
Yeah, well, that's not uncommon
with this sort of injury.
Just move it a bit.
Okay, let's just see
if you can move your fingers.
Hey.
Did you see that?
I saw it.
She just moved her fingers.
Her pupils are responding to light.
She's not going to give in to this.
Jaz, you get your phone back?
Yeah, except it rang off the hook
with fans asking
how Gazza was doing.
I bet with most of them
if their grandmother ended up here
they wouldn't make one damned call.
Their grandmothers
don't win grand finals, do they?
Your clever idea of a joke?
I didn't put that there.
Gazza's a national hero.
You've got to expect people to ring.
Yeah, a hero who fights
his girlfriend.
She attacked him, Von.
Look at the size of him.
I bet his girlfriend's
no bigger than me.
Why would she attack him?
How would I know?
Maybe she's highly-strung
or something.
I know, Sophie.
I don't like it any more than you.
Did you move the boob job?
We don't have any more rooms.
I would move her if I could, okay?
Okay. On-off channels volume
Yeah.
How are you going
after the painkillers?
I'm cruising, mate.
Your girlfriend must have been
spewing about something to do this.
Last night we had this
killer training session, right?
I mean, we've got
a big game on Saturday.
A couple of guys are coming back
after injury spells.
Because of this I get home late.
Anyway, Kristy just
went off her head.
He comes home late, she thinks
he's been out with another woman,
so she goes psycho with a knife.
Now, that's just his word.
You haven't spoken.
He's a good bloke.
The first footballer I've met
who is.
Footballers aren't paid thugs now.
They're highly trained,
skilled athletes.
And highly overpaid.
Gazza gives a lot of people out here
something to look up to.
He's one of us.
Yeah.
He lives in a flash house,
drives a Mustang, rides a Ducati.
Everyone in the Western Suburbs
relates to that.
Yeah, I wish.
Hey, gidday.
Gidday.
I'm looking for Gary Headley,
please.
Ah, Connor?
Yes, this way.
Excuse me.
Gary
Detectives are here to see you.
Gidday, Dave Capinelli.
This is Detective Freeman.
My little bloke's
a big fan of yours.
I'll get him some tickets
to the game some time.
First things first, Gary.
This is about Kristy, right?
Charges are being brought against
your girlfriend for stabbing you.
Something else has come up.
You might want your solicitor here.
Sorry, mate,
she's saying you raped her.
I told you, didn't I?
He has women throwing themselves
at him all the time.
Why would he have to beg for sex?
From the sounds of it,
he doesn't do much asking.
We don't know anything about it.
Of course, you're a bloke,
you stick together.
Oh, come on!
Sharon, the orderly's on his way.
(drugged prattling)
New boobs aren't cheap.
I went to the best plastic surgeon
I could find.
You don't want the job botched.
I've known women
whose breasts are a mess.
This isn't
an appropriate conversation.
Hey, you listen here.
I am the one having it done,
and I'll talk about it if I like.
I think what Sister Williams means
is that there are other people here,
and you should respect
their privacy.
(laughs) Tell me about it.
I wanted a private room.
Okay, take her away, Dave.
..but do you know
how much they cost?
Thank God for that.
Dr Forlano, shouldn't I be
getting ready for my operation?
I'm sorry, we've had to reschedule.
Oh, no.
No, please,
I can't stand the waiting.
I have to get this
over and done with.
I know, and I'm sorry.
But this happens when an operation
runs longer than expected.
We've rescheduled to do
the operation tonight,
and we'll keep you in overnight.
You will be okay, Marian.
(giggles nervously)
I remember that
second State of Origin.
That try you scored was magic.
Oh, yeah.
A little chip-kick over the defence.
Regathered, swerved inside
the fullback, beat the cover,
and stuck it down
between the sticks.
The crowd went wild.
Tell me about it, mate. I was there.
Their defence was totally shattered
after that, it went to pieces.
I was on song that night, Connor.
One of those games
where everything went right.
What about this year?
There's talk in the papers
about you going for captain.
Between you and me,
McDermott's done an okay job.
But he doesn't really inspire
the team.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
You'd make a great captain.
There's still a few things
in the way first, though.
Like the doctor said, you know,
it's early days.
Chances are
you'll make a full recovery.
My arm might,
but what about my reputation?
That's totally stuffed,
thanks to Kristy.
Her case doesn't have any legs.
If you throw enough mud,
some of it's gotta stick.
You'll be sweet.
Oh, no luck with the stones yet,
Mr Cummins?
Drowning, I can tell you.
Kidney stones ARE more painful
than giving birth.
Oh, I'll take your word for it
on both counts.
Are we on for dinner?
I'd love to,
but theatre's been rescheduled.
We could do something later.
Later works for me.
Brought in an offsider?
Club solicitor.
They're writing a press release.
I can't wait to read that.
PHONE RINGS
Ward 17 - Jaz speaking.
Oh, one moment.
Sister Sullivan
..it's ICU.
Yep?
There's poor air entry on this side.
I know.
We need a chest X-ray.
Excuse me.
Maybe we should leave them to it.
We should ring the intensivist.
Come on, Peter.
They'll do a lot better
without us hanging around.
How many times have we said
that with head injuries
there is always hope?
Many times.
I remember when I was a registrar,
there was this guy
that everybody had given up on
I mean, everybody
had given up on him.
One morning, he wakes up
and he wants his breakfast.
It CAN happen.
It can.
I've got so much I want to say
to Jenny when she wakes up.
I've got so much to make up for.
That should sort out the pain, Gary.
Thanks, mate.
How's the tingling sensation?
It's just about gone.
Good.
Looks like the restriction you felt
was the result of the haematoma.
I'll be able to play again soon?
Yeah, if you keep going like this.
I told you, didn't I?
This thing with Kristy
could still stuff me up, but.
If she wants to push things,
we'll get some dirt on her,
don't you worry about that.
After all, how much credibility
does she have?
You're the one lying in here.
So, I'm going to
be able to play again soon.
Who said your career was over, mate?
The club still can.
Bringing the game into disrepute
and all that.
Can't you talk to your girlfriend?
Sort something out
between yourselves?
You don't know what she's like.
Have you got a girlfriend, mate?
Ah, no-one serious.
Sometimes I think
we're better off without them.
They say one thing,
mean something else.
That's the trouble.
They're a different species, mate.
I mean, last night with Kristy,
right?
She tells me she's too tired
to do it.
What does that mean to you?
It means they want you
to play those silly games.
They want it.
Man, I was pumped up after training,
you know.
I wanted her.
"No", she says.
"Stay away", she says.
I just about lost it.
If they say no,
that's where you've got to leave it.
That's not where
they want you to leave it, mate.
I swear
..with me and Kristy in the end,
we always get it on.
Connor, any chance of getting
the legend to sign an autograph
for one of my patients?
What?
Gazza. He does write, doesn't he?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Oh, shift almost over?
Yes. Time to stop running
after the patients
and start running after my boys.
I was going to ask
if you'd join me for a drink.
Oh, I would've loved to.
It would have been lovely
to see Felicity.
Yeah, well, actually,
she's down in Melbourne this week
visiting her mother.
It'd just be the two of us.
Oh!
Well, maybe later in the week.
Oh, see, I don't have a regular
babysitter for the boys, Richard.
So, it makes a social life
a bit difficult at the moment.
But thank you anyway.
(giggles) Richard Stanton
just asked me out on a date.
Isn't he the footballer's doctor?
Isn't he a friend of yours?
Oh, more Harry's.
Are you going to go?
Terri, he's married!
And his wife's
conveniently out of town.
Oh, that's revolting. What a sleaze!
Wouldn't you know it.
What?
That's the first date I've been
asked out on in a very long time.
Oh, Soph.
You know it's not going to be
the last.
Mmm!
(delighted squeal)
ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
DOOR KNOCK
Amanda!
What are you doing here?
It's good to see you, too, Jared.
I didn't think you ventured
outside the Eastern Suburbs.
I didn't think you ventured
outside the Eastern Suburbs.
That night at your mother's, we
d
That night at your mother's, we
didn't really get a chance to talk.
Yeah, right.
Well, come on. We're both adults.
I know, but it's a bit weird,
you know.
Yeah, which is why I wanted to talk.
I mean, we were together for so long
and suddenly it's over.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's really weird.
I didn't think that breaking up
meant you never wanted
to see me again.
It doesn't.
Come in.
How is she?
She's settled down.
You look awful, you know that?
I figured that.
Thank you.
Why don't you take ten minutes
and get yourself something to eat?
No, I'm not really hungry.
Come on.
I'll be back.
And how are Simon and Laura?
Giving my mum the run-around
by the sound of it.
Telling her they're allowed
to watch videos
and eat chocolate after school.
I'm sure she didn't fall for it.
No.
Do your kids know about
the accident?
Yeah. A great Mothers' Day.
Are you going to
bring them in to see Jenny?
No. Not while she's in ICU.
Harry didn't want me
to bring our boys in.
He said it would make him look weak
if they saw him in a hospital bed.
He thought he'd be out
in a day or so.
Anyway, I'm really glad
he changed his mind.
You think I should get in
while the going's good?
Is that what you're saying?
I'm sorry.
Look, I know how you feel.
But maybe Simon and Laura
need to see their mum now.
Jenny is not going to die.
She's going to get through this,
alright?
'Cause if I stop believing that
When she recovers,
the kids can see her then, alright?
You got a problem?
No. Have you?
No.
Von. You haven't had
a cigarette all day.
Right, who's coming to the club?
Me.
I thought you'd stay
to massage Gazza's thighs.
His manager will take care of that.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
I just want to go, okay?
Are you coming or not?
Ooh! What's biting his bottom?
I remember when you brought Simon
home and Laura got very jealous.
But you sorted that out.
I remember coming home and there
were the two of you on the couch.
You were breast-feeding Simon,
and Laura
..(teary) and, um, Laura was
breast-feeding her teddy bear.
(weeps)
The kids adore you, Jenny.
Come on, Jen.
Squeeze my hand, would you, please?
Just squeeze my hand.
Jenny, squeeze my hand.
Please?
Just let me know
that you're still there.
(sobs)
She's, um, just a little bit tired,
that's all.
You should have seen
the look on Casey's face
when Sister Sullivan told him
to get off the phone.
She's such a legend.
The guy deserved it. He's a creep.
Yeah. And with a bit of luck,
Gazza the Head will get
discharged tomorrow, won't he?
Don't worry, Connor.
It still leaves you half a day
to keep sucking up to him.
Hey, I'm joking.
He did it.
What?
Gazza.
He told me.
He raped her.
His girlfriend will have
a hard enough time
going up against the club's doctors
and lawyers
Lay off, Jaz.
You can't let him get away with it.
Jaz.
I'm sorry.
I know he's your big football hero
but that doesn't change
what he's done.
I know that.
I just wish I hadn't found out.
Well, you did.
He didn't actually say he raped her.
He said she needed more persuasion.
Connor!
How do I know it's not
a sick game between them?
Did she say no?
Well, I wasn't there, was I?
Bron, he was off his face
on pethidine at the time.
What if it is a big mistake?
Then, why did she stab him?
It's time to go, Marian.
CONNOR: I probably deserve it.
What?
For acting like
a bloody 12 year old,
hanging off every word
Gaz the lege says.
I know you think I'm an idiot.
I don't think you're an idiot.
If I ever found out that Patrick
Rafter wasn't as sweet as he seems,
I probably would want to
shoot myself, too, okay?
It was so cool, you know.
I've been following Gaz
since he was in the Under 21s.
I was 17, you know.
He was brilliant.
He was so balanced.
And there we were, sitting
on the bed talking like mates.
I was thinking, when he gets out,
we'd go for a beer.
Major cred, or what,
hanging out with Gaz the lege?
And then he started saying all
that stuff about his girlfriend.
I thought he was having me on
at the start.
I was just thinking, "Shut up, Gaz".
"Just shut up."
"I don't want to know."
If I hadn't swapped patients,
I'd just be reading about this
in the papers
and saying it was a load of bull.
What are you going to do instead?
Are you going to go to the cops?
I don't know.
Do you remember that night at 41?
Ah, Chrissy and Nick's engagement?
The Steiner wedding.
You got drunk.
Tipsy.
You were too embarrassed to walk out
in case you fell over.
So, you gallantly carried me out.
I told them that you'd twisted
your ankle on the dance floor.
You're pretty special,
you know that?
I miss you.
Yeah. I miss you, too.
HEAVY BREATHING
SULTRY MUSIC
BIRDSONG
So, it's Gail and Michael's
party tonight.
Do you want to go?
Oh, I don't know, Amanda.
No pressure.
We made a really good couple,
you know.
CONNOR: Good morning.
Ah!
Good morning, Amanda.
I don't know if there's enough
here for three.
It's okay. I've got to get to work.
Me, too. I've really
got to get to work.
Maybe I should
put some clothes on, then.
Just take me outside and shoot me.
Yeah, I thought you two broke up.
She came over last night
and said she wanted to talk.
You can do that
with your clothes on.
Look, it just happened, alright?
I didn't mean to let it happen.
Whatever. It's your business.
I've got enough on my plate
as it is.
See you.
I can't wait for the swelling
to go down.
The doctor said
they were magnificent.
The best he'd ever seen.
Oh, I can't wait to show Danny.
Then that bimbo will know
what real women look like.
(cries)
What's wrong?
Are you alright, love?
No. I'm not.
They think I might have
breast cancer.
You poor thing.
God, you must be
scared out of your wits.
(sobs) I just know
if I have to lose a breast,
my husband just won't love me
the same way. I know he won't.
(tender) Don't be stupid.
If he's a decent sort,
he'll love you for who you are.
Not your breasts.
Thanks.
Good morning.
Jen, Terri's here.
Good morning, Jen.
You look a lot better.
Oh, yeah. I had a shower and a shave
in the doctors' rooms.
Jen hates it if I don't shave.
Don't you?
Jenny's responses have deteriorated.
Come on, Terri,
give the girl a chance.
She's just having
a bit of a rough time.
It's day by day, isn't it, Jen?
Isn't it?
Sure.
Headley's solicitor
claims that the attack
was both vicious and unprovoked.
Yes, well, a bit of
a late night last night. Sorry.
If only all my late nights
were that good.
That's great!
This makes the girlfriend
sound like a psychopath.
I mean, take a look at her.
She looks like a psycho,
doesn't she?
Steph. I want to swap patients.
Gary Headley.
You've got to be kidding?!
You moved heaven and earth.
Yeah, look, I'm sorry about that.
I don't mind taking Gazza on.
Fine. You'd go over my head anyway.
Does this mean
you're going to go to the cops?
It means I'm swapping patients.
Where's Connor?
You've got me today.
No complaints from me.
You're better looking.
LOUD AGONISED GROANING
Be warned, Gaz, that was my last
patient that used a line like that.
Oh, oh.
How's it going, Mr Cummins?
One down, one to go.
That was one hell of a scream.
That was one hell of a stone.
Did you have a late night, eh?
You don't want to know.
Terri.
How is Mrs Morrison going?
She's not very good.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
I've got to talk to you
about something.
Okay, come on.
You should have told me about her.
We dropped some fairly big hints.
Obviously not big enough.
I've really put my foot in it.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
My pleasure.
I got the all-clear.
Good on you.
That's wonderful, huh?
Yes, love.
Feel like a walk?
Sharon, are you alright?
I thought Danny would've
at least called to see how I was.
Your ex?
Yeah. I thought once I had this
done, he'd come running back to me.
How wrong can you get?
I'm sorry.
Oh, the things you do for men, eh?
But, hey, there's one consolation.
Great breasts!
(both laugh)
Hey?
Yeah.
Are you right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, good to see you, mate.
How come I got stuck
with that chick?
Just the way things worked out.
A bit up herself, isn't she?
I talked to Stevo.
I lined up tickets
for Saturday's game for you.
I'm going to the police
when my shift's over.
What for?
I'm going to tell them what you told
me yesterday about raping Kristy.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Come on, mate. You admitted it.
You said that she
didn't want to have sex.
Oh, come on.
I was out of it on painkillers.
I didn't know what I was saying.
You weren't that out of it.
In fact, you bragged about it.
What do you want, Connor?
Money? Is that your game?
You reckon you can blackmail me?
You're just not used to
someone saying no, are you?
That's the problem.
You listen to me.
Stevo's got me off
three drink-driving charges.
He'll sort this out.
Besides, it's just your word
against mine.
Who do you reckon the cops
are going to believe, eh?
Some nobody looking for
15 seconds of fame?
Or someone the whole district
looks up to?
Someone who visits sick kids
dying of cancer.
You should see those kids' faces
light up when, me,
You should see those kids' faces

me, Gazza the Head,
walks into the room.
It's a shame
they'll have to find out
what sort of bloke you really are.
If the cops believe you,
I'm finished, mate.
You know what it's like
growing up out here.
You've got to bust your arse
to get anywhere.
The club will kick me out.
You should have thought about that
when your girlfriend said no.
Reginald Lyons,
chairman of the hospital board,
is a patron of the Cougars.
Yes, I'm well aware of that.
He wouldn't like to think that one
of your staff makes things up.
Are you calling Connor a liar?
Sister Sullivan, Connor
misconstrued what Gary said to him.
It's just a misunderstanding.
That's strange, because Connor
was very clear about what Gary said.
Making false accusations
is a very serious thing.
Well, I'm sure he knows
what he's doing.
Gary's a high-profile person.
Very well regarded
within the community.
If he's done nothing wrong,
Mr Casey,
he has nothing to worry about.
I want you to tell Connor
to pull his head in.
Mr Casey, unlike you,
I don't bully my staff.
If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it
if you'd leave my office.
You'll regret this.
Don't threaten me, Mr Casey.
You don't understand, Sister.
I don't need to threaten anyone.
Excuse me, what's going on?
It's alright. We called them.
I don't care who called.
JAZ: Sister, phone.
We want to make a statement.
You're getting an exclusive, Helen.
It's been a rough couple of days
for Gary.
He's had to suffer some very hurtful
and totally untruthful allegations.
Throughout the ordeal,
Gary has maintained his innocence.
Now we're happy to announce that
his name has been cleared totally.
The police have just informed us
Miss Bennett, Gary's ex-girlfriend,
will not be proceeding with
the sexual assault charge.
That's all we have to say
at this time.
Gary.
I wonder how much money it took?
Oh, a new car,
maybe a trip to Hawaii.
Well, I hope it's worth it.
Because she's still going to
get done for stabbing Gazza.
And he's still the hero.
Can't you tell the police
what Gary told you?
Without her statement
it's a waste of time.
My dad barracked for this club.
All my friends barracked for them.
But after this, I don't think I can.
Come on, Connor.
This could happen anywhere.
Any club.
It's just one guy, Gazza Headley.
Don't give up on the whole club.
Three beers, thanks.
And a double vodka, thanks.
You look happy.
The Gary Headley thing stinks,
doesn't it?
It's not the only thing that stinks.
Come on, Jen.
You've got to fight this.
You've been waiting over three years
now for a holiday.
Don't you bail out on me now.
You've been waiting for even longer
for me to pull my weight.
What's going to happen, Jen?
What's going to happen?
No more next times, okay?
I promise.
And then just one thing
led to another
Oh, Jared! Jared, Jared, Jared.
I know, I've been telling myself
the same thing since 3 a.m.
It's a complete mess.
She's probably re-booking
our honeymoon.
Ring her and say
it's all a big mistake.
You're sorry, but nothing's changed.
I can't do that.
Why not?
Then I'd be a complete bastard.
Jared, she'll get over it.
We all do.
A lot of chocolate,
a bit of bitching,
she'll forget it ever happened.
Or she'll clean your toilet
with your toothbrush.
That won't happen.
A bit like those drinks.
Oh, sorry.
LOUD CHEERING
I don't believe it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
(loudly) Booo-oooo!
Jaz, you'll get us kicked out.
I don't care.
Me neither.
I'm not so thirsty anyway.
Connor.
The tickets
for the game on Saturday.
No, Gary.
You know what that means now,
don't you?
Let's go.
What is it?
Her pupils are fixed and dilated.
(overcome) Oh
Jen
Oh, Jen.
Who have you told?
Peter, have you told anyone?
Peter?
I can't.
I've lost my beautiful wife.
I've lost her.
Previously on All Saints -
One hour. That's all.
If you're not there on time,
I'll go without you.
I've got some bad news.
What is it?
ANSWERPHONE: Peter,
when you get this message,
could you come to All Saints?
How many units of blood
did they use?
Four or five.
Did they do a craniotomy?
Yes.
(weeps) I got there on time, Jen.
So, what do you reckon?
Are you in?
Forget it.
You've got to get back out there.
It's too soon.
I thought you were over Amanda.
I AM. I'm just not ready
for another relationship.
Who's talking relationship?
I'm talking date.
Have you seen my mug?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
I don't believe you touched my mug!
That mug is sacred.
It matches my keyring.
You've got it very bad.
You say yes to a date,
and I get us a couple of babes.
Emily's got a friend.
I told you it was too soon.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it!
So what?
So what? So Gazza the Head's
been taken to All Saints.
We forgot to set our alarm?
Have you heard?
JAZ: What?
Gary Headley's been injured.
He should be back from theatre soon.
He's coming here?
Who's been assigned?
Jared.
You're kidding me!
How about that?!
Where's the justice in that?
He's that football guy, isn't he?
That football guy? Hello.
He plays centre for the Cougars.
The guy's a total legend.
So, what is it, Bron?
His knee or his groin?
His girlfriend.
Stabbed him with a kitchen knife.
Thanks.
I'm here, Jen.
Please
Jen, open your eyes.
STEPH: Marian Turner's
in for a biopsy.
Keep an eye on her,
she's feeling a bit scared.
In the bed next to her, the lovely
Sharon Hardy for breast implants.
I don't understand cosmetic surgery.
Would you do it?
No!
You don't need to.
I wouldn't mind a bit more, though.
For God's sake.
You are what you are.
Any further word on Jenny Morrison?
She's still unconscious.
I'm sick of all this water.
It's the only way to flush
those kidney stones.
A beer would work just as well.
(laughs) Not quite.
Tell them I'll release a statement
in the next hour.
The phone needs to be free.
I know.
Who is he?
The footballer's manager.
He's set up shop.
We're a hospital.
There could be an emergency.
Okay. Let me handle it.
I'm sorry, Mr Casey,
but you can't tie up this phone.
Okay, good. Thank you.
I'll see you later. Bye.
It's not my fault.
She won't let me use my mobile.
She's right. Go outside and use it.
PHONE RINGS
Hello.
DOOR KNOCK
Yep.
Terri.
Yep.
Um, I know this isn't a good time.
What is it?
Well, I want to look after
Gary Headley.
Do you really think he'd like a
Cougars fan dribbling all over him?
No, it's no big deal.
I want him to have the care of
someone who's aware of his needs.
Alright.
You sort it out with Steph, okay?
Okay.
Yes!
Jared. You're looking after
Mr Cummins.
I'm looking after that football guy.
No, not any more.
Fine by me.
You went to Terri?!
She didn't mind us swapping.
You don't think
she's got enough on her mind?
Here he comes now. The infamous
Gazza the Knob and entourage.
Gazza the Head.
Connor, you got your autograph book?
As if I'd be that uncool.
Gazza, mate. How are you holding up?
Oh, Stevo.
Okay, let's get you
through to that room.
I'll take over, thanks.
(groans)
Gary, we need you to take
some deep breaths, mate.
You're killing me, mate.
(moans) Oh, Jesus.
Can't you get him some painkillers?
As soon as we get him settled in.
Mate, I'm not trying
to make this worse, I swear.
You reckon?
Doc, I can hardly move it.
There would have been pressure
from the build-up of blood.
That's what could be
restricting your movement.
She got you in a tricky spot.
There's a lot of nerves.
You have to wait to see
if there's permanent damage.
I'm stuffed?!
I didn't say that, Gaz.
She had the kitchen knife
It was an unprovoked attack.
She was trying to kill him.
Malicious wounding's a joke.
As far as I'm concerned,
it's attempted murder.
Is he for real?!
What's going on with Gazza?
He reckons it's attempted murder.
She did stab him!
The doctor reckons there could be
permanent nerve damage.
It's too early for them to say that.
It's a possibility,
and Gazza's freaking out.
It sounds a bit suss, if you ask me.
I'd love to stay and talk
conspiracy theories
I've got a budget review meeting.
I should be about an hour or so.
I'll pop into ICU on the way back.
Is everything alright?
Yeah, but Casey
won't get off the phone.
I'm on hold.
If you want to make a phone call,
you have to use the public phones.
I've been through all this.
You will not tie up a hospital
phone. Is that understood?
Thank you.
Thanks, Sister Sullivan.
Why can't I do it like that?
Friends in high places.
Gazza asked
when the solicitor's due.
He's on his way now.
Oh, Sophie Williams.
Richard, hello.
You're here with the footballer.
That's right.
Cushiest job ever,
being a club doctor.
That's what Harry used to say.
I was sorry to hear what happened.
Oh, thank you.
Anyway, I'd better go.
Hey, mine are going to be
bigger than that.
Aren't you scared of the operation?
When you've had your man
run off with another woman
who was bursting out of her top,
going under the knife's easy.
Stanley has a thing
about big breasts.
You can have your
pre-op shower now, Mrs Hardy.
Ah, Marian, this is Dr Forlano.
He'll be assisting
in your operation.
Hi. Sister Williams tells me you're
a bit nervous about this surgery.
Well, the procedure's
a relatively simple one.
The operation won't take long.
We'll get the pathology done
and we'll have the results tomorrow.
And, if it's cancer
..I might lose my breast?
These days we try and take
only what's absolutely necessary.
Anyway, let's not jump the gun.
We can discuss this more tomorrow
when we get your pathology results.
That's good.
I'm Connor Costello.
I'll be looking after you today.
Mate, it's starting to
hurt a little bit, eh?
Can I get something for it?
Your next injection's
not due for a bit.
I guess this means you'll be
out of the game on Saturday.
Well, I'd throw a pretty dud pass
like this, wouldn't I?
To be honest, I don't reckon
the Saints stand a chance.
You guys will be all over them.
You're into the Cougars?
Yes. Since I was a kid.
I go to every game.
Even when they were wooden spooners?
You follow a team.
You're there for the good times
and the bad.
You don't see much of
that sort of loyalty these days.
Well, since you joined the firsts,
mate, we haven't had a bad season.
Every team needs a playmaker, mate.
Somebody who can make something
out of nothing.
That's why
you're important to the side.
I don't want to sound up myself,
but as long as I can stay
on the field every week,
I reckon we'll go all the way.
The premiership?
You bet.
The thing is, I think I'll be out
for the rest of the season.
It's early days yet. I mean
I've got this tingling feeling
in my arm and hand.
Yeah, well, that's not uncommon
with this sort of injury.
Just move it a bit.
Okay, let's just see
if you can move your fingers.
Hey.
Did you see that?
I saw it.
She just moved her fingers.
Her pupils are responding to light.
She's not going to give in to this.
Jaz, you get your phone back?
Yeah, except it rang off the hook
with fans asking
how Gazza was doing.
I bet with most of them
if their grandmother ended up here
they wouldn't make one damned call.
Their grandmothers
don't win grand finals, do they?
Your clever idea of a joke?
I didn't put that there.
Gazza's a national hero.
You've got to expect people to ring.
Yeah, a hero who fights
his girlfriend.
She attacked him, Von.
Look at the size of him.
I bet his girlfriend's
no bigger than me.
Why would she attack him?
How would I know?
Maybe she's highly-strung
or something.
I know, Sophie.
I don't like it any more than you.
Did you move the boob job?
We don't have any more rooms.
I would move her if I could, okay?
Okay. On-off channels volume
Yeah.
How are you going
after the painkillers?
I'm cruising, mate.
Your girlfriend must have been
spewing about something to do this.
Last night we had this
killer training session, right?
I mean, we've got
a big game on Saturday.
A couple of guys are coming back
after injury spells.
Because of this I get home late.
Anyway, Kristy just
went off her head.
He comes home late, she thinks
he's been out with another woman,
so she goes psycho with a knife.
Now, that's just his word.
You haven't spoken.
He's a good bloke.
The first footballer I've met
who is.
Footballers aren't paid thugs now.
They're highly trained,
skilled athletes.
And highly overpaid.
Gazza gives a lot of people out here
something to look up to.
He's one of us.
Yeah.
He lives in a flash house,
drives a Mustang, rides a Ducati.
Everyone in the Western Suburbs
relates to that.
Yeah, I wish.
Hey, gidday.
Gidday.
I'm looking for Gary Headley,
please.
Ah, Connor?
Yes, this way.
Excuse me.
Gary
Detectives are here to see you.
Gidday, Dave Capinelli.
This is Detective Freeman.
My little bloke's
a big fan of yours.
I'll get him some tickets
to the game some time.
First things first, Gary.
This is about Kristy, right?
Charges are being brought against
your girlfriend for stabbing you.
Something else has come up.
You might want your solicitor here.
Sorry, mate,
she's saying you raped her.
I told you, didn't I?
He has women throwing themselves
at him all the time.
Why would he have to beg for sex?
From the sounds of it,
he doesn't do much asking.
We don't know anything about it.
Of course, you're a bloke,
you stick together.
Oh, come on!
Sharon, the orderly's on his way.
(drugged prattling)
New boobs aren't cheap.
I went to the best plastic surgeon
I could find.
You don't want the job botched.
I've known women
whose breasts are a mess.
This isn't
an appropriate conversation.
Hey, you listen here.
I am the one having it done,
and I'll talk about it if I like.
I think what Sister Williams means
is that there are other people here,
and you should respect
their privacy.
(laughs) Tell me about it.
I wanted a private room.
Okay, take her away, Dave.
..but do you know
how much they cost?
Thank God for that.
Dr Forlano, shouldn't I be
getting ready for my operation?
I'm sorry, we've had to reschedule.
Oh, no.
No, please,
I can't stand the waiting.
I have to get this
over and done with.
I know, and I'm sorry.
But this happens when an operation
runs longer than expected.
We've rescheduled to do
the operation tonight,
and we'll keep you in overnight.
You will be okay, Marian.
(giggles nervously)
I remember that
second State of Origin.
That try you scored was magic.
Oh, yeah.
A little chip-kick over the defence.
Regathered, swerved inside
the fullback, beat the cover,
and stuck it down
between the sticks.
The crowd went wild.
Tell me about it, mate. I was there.
Their defence was totally shattered
after that, it went to pieces.
I was on song that night, Connor.
One of those games
where everything went right.
What about this year?
There's talk in the papers
about you going for captain.
Between you and me,
McDermott's done an okay job.
But he doesn't really inspire
the team.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
You'd make a great captain.
There's still a few things
in the way first, though.
Like the doctor said, you know,
it's early days.
Chances are
you'll make a full recovery.
My arm might,
but what about my reputation?
That's totally stuffed,
thanks to Kristy.
Her case doesn't have any legs.
If you throw enough mud,
some of it's gotta stick.
You'll be sweet.
Oh, no luck with the stones yet,
Mr Cummins?
Drowning, I can tell you.
Kidney stones ARE more painful
than giving birth.
Oh, I'll take your word for it
on both counts.
Are we on for dinner?
I'd love to,
but theatre's been rescheduled.
We could do something later.
Later works for me.
Brought in an offsider?
Club solicitor.
They're writing a press release.
I can't wait to read that.
PHONE RINGS
Ward 17 - Jaz speaking.
Oh, one moment.
Sister Sullivan
..it's ICU.
Yep?
There's poor air entry on this side.
I know.
We need a chest X-ray.
Excuse me.
Maybe we should leave them to it.
We should ring the intensivist.
Come on, Peter.
They'll do a lot better
without us hanging around.
How many times have we said
that with head injuries
there is always hope?
Many times.
I remember when I was a registrar,
there was this guy
that everybody had given up on
I mean, everybody
had given up on him.
One morning, he wakes up
and he wants his breakfast.
It CAN happen.
It can.
I've got so much I want to say
to Jenny when she wakes up.
I've got so much to make up for.
That should sort out the pain, Gary.
Thanks, mate.
How's the tingling sensation?
It's just about gone.
Good.
Looks like the restriction you felt
was the result of the haematoma.
I'll be able to play again soon?
Yeah, if you keep going like this.
I told you, didn't I?
This thing with Kristy
could still stuff me up, but.
If she wants to push things,
we'll get some dirt on her,
don't you worry about that.
After all, how much credibility
does she have?
You're the one lying in here.
So, I'm going to
be able to play again soon.
Who said your career was over, mate?
The club still can.
Bringing the game into disrepute
and all that.
Can't you talk to your girlfriend?
Sort something out
between yourselves?
You don't know what she's like.
Have you got a girlfriend, mate?
Ah, no-one serious.
Sometimes I think
we're better off without them.
They say one thing,
mean something else.
That's the trouble.
They're a different species, mate.
I mean, last night with Kristy,
right?
She tells me she's too tired
to do it.
What does that mean to you?
It means they want you
to play those silly games.
They want it.
Man, I was pumped up after training,
you know.
I wanted her.
"No", she says.
"Stay away", she says.
I just about lost it.
If they say no,
that's where you've got to leave it.
That's not where
they want you to leave it, mate.
I swear
..with me and Kristy in the end,
we always get it on.
Connor, any chance of getting
the legend to sign an autograph
for one of my patients?
What?
Gazza. He does write, doesn't he?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Oh, shift almost over?
Yes. Time to stop running
after the patients
and start running after my boys.
I was going to ask
if you'd join me for a drink.
Oh, I would've loved to.
It would have been lovely
to see Felicity.
Yeah, well, actually,
she's down in Melbourne this week
visiting her mother.
It'd just be the two of us.
Oh!
Well, maybe later in the week.
Oh, see, I don't have a regular
babysitter for the boys, Richard.
So, it makes a social life
a bit difficult at the moment.
But thank you anyway.
(giggles) Richard Stanton
just asked me out on a date.
Isn't he the footballer's doctor?
Isn't he a friend of yours?
Oh, more Harry's.
Are you going to go?
Terri, he's married!
And his wife's
conveniently out of town.
Oh, that's revolting. What a sleaze!
Wouldn't you know it.
What?
That's the first date I've been
asked out on in a very long time.
Oh, Soph.
You know it's not going to be
the last.
Mmm!

That night at your mother's, we
didn't really get a chance to talk.
Yeah, right.
Well, come on. We're both adults.
I know, but it's a bit weird,
you know.
Yeah, which is why I wanted to talk.
I mean, we were together for so long
and suddenly it's over.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's really weird.
I didn't think that breaking up
meant you never wanted
to see me again.
It doesn't.
Come in.
How is she?
She's settled down.
You look awful, you know that?
I figured that.
Thank you.
Why don't you take ten minutes
and get yourself something to eat?
No, I'm not really hungry.
Come on.
I'll be back.
And how are Simon and Laura?
Giving my mum the run-around
by the sound of it.
Telling her they're allowed
to watch videos
and eat chocolate after school.
I'm sure she didn't fall for it.
No.
Do your kids know about
the accident?
Yeah. A great Mothers' Day.
Are you going to
bring them in to see Jenny?
No. Not while she's in ICU.
Harry didn't want me
to bring our boys in.
He said it would make him look weak
if they saw him in a hospital bed.
He thought he'd be out
in a day or so.
Anyway, I'm really glad
he changed his mind.
You think I should get in
while the going's good?
Is that what you're saying?
I'm sorry.
Look, I know how you feel.
But maybe Simon and Laura
need to see their mum now.
Jenny is not going to die.
She's going to get through this,
alright?
'Cause if I stop believing that
When she recovers,
the kids can see her then, alright?
You got a problem?
No. Have you?
No.
Von. You haven't had
a cigarette all day.
Right, who's coming to the club?
Me.
I thought you'd stay
to massage Gazza's thighs.
His manager will take care of that.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
I just want to go, okay?
Are you coming or not?
Ooh! What's biting his bottom?
I remember when you brought Simon
home and Laura got very jealous.
But you sorted that out.
I remember coming home and there
were the two of you on the couch.
You were breast-feeding Simon,
and Laura
..(teary) and, um, Laura was
breast-feeding her teddy bear.
(weeps)
The kids adore you, Jenny.
Come on, Jen.
Squeeze my hand, would you, please?
Just squeeze my hand.
Jenny, squeeze my hand.
Please?
Just let me know
that you're still there.

She's, um, just a little bit tired,
that's all.
You should have seen
the look on Casey's face
when Sister Sullivan told him
to get off the phone.
She's such a legend.
The guy deserved it. He's a creep.
Yeah. And with a bit of luck,
Gazza the Head will get
discharged tomorrow, won't he?
Don't worry, Connor.
It still leaves you half a day
to keep sucking up to him.
Hey, I'm joking.
He did it.
What?
Gazza.
He told me.
He raped her.
His girlfriend will have
a hard enough time
going up against the club's doctors
and lawyers
Lay off, Jaz.
You can't let him get away with it.
Jaz.
I'm sorry.
I know he's your big football hero
but that doesn't change
what he's done.
I know that.
I just wish I hadn't found out.
Well, you did.
He didn't actually say he raped her.
He said she needed more persuasion.
Connor!
How do I know it's not
a sick game between them?
Did she say no?
Well, I wasn't there, was I?
Bron, he was off his face
on pethidine at the time.
What if it is a big mistake?
Then, why did she stab him?
It's time to go, Marian.
CONNOR: I probably deserve it.
What?
For acting like
a bloody 12 year old,
hanging off every word
Gaz the lege says.
I know you think I'm an idiot.
I don't think you're an idiot.
If I ever found out that Patrick
Rafter wasn't as sweet as he seems,
I probably would want to
shoot myself, too, okay?
It was so cool, you know.
I've been following Gaz
since he was in the Under 21s.
I was 17, you know.
He was brilliant.
He was so balanced.
And there we were, sitting
on the bed talking like mates.
I was thinking, when he gets out,
we'd go for a beer.
Major cred, or what,
hanging out with Gaz the lege?
And then he started saying all
that stuff about his girlfriend.
I thought he was having me on
at the start.
I was just thinking, "Shut up, Gaz".
"Just shut up."
"I don't want to know."
If I hadn't swapped patients,
I'd just be reading about this
in the papers
and saying it was a load of bull.
What are you going to do instead?
Are you going to go to the cops?
I don't know.
Do you remember that night at 41?
Ah, Chrissy and Nick's engagement?
The Steiner wedding.
You got drunk.
Tipsy.
You were too embarrassed to walk out
in case you fell over.
So, you gallantly carried me out.
I told them that you'd twisted
your ankle on the dance floor.
You're pretty special,
you know that?
I miss you.
Yeah. I miss you, too.
HEAVY BREATHING
SULTRY MUSIC
BIRDSONG
So, it's Gail and Michael's
party tonight.
Do you want to go?
Oh, I don't know, Amanda.
No pressure.
We made a really good couple,
you know.
CONNOR: Good morning.
Ah!
Good morning, Amanda.
I don't know if there's enough
here for three.
It's okay. I've got to get to work.
Me, too. I've really
got to get to work.
Maybe I should
put some clothes on, then.
Just take me outside and shoot me.
Yeah, I thought you two broke up.
She came over last night
and said she wanted to talk.
You can do that
with your clothes on.
Look, it just happened, alright?
I didn't mean to let it happen.
Whatever. It's your business.
I've got enough on my plate
as it is.
See you.
I can't wait for the swelling
to go down.
The doctor said
they were magnificent.
The best he'd ever seen.
Oh, I can't wait to show Danny.
Then that bimbo will know
what real women look like.
(cries)
What's wrong?
Are you alright, love?
No. I'm not.
They think I might have
breast cancer.
You poor thing.
God, you must be
scared out of your wits.
(sobs) I just know
if I have to lose a breast,
my husband just won't love me
the same way. I know he won't.
(tender) Don't be stupid.
If he's a decent sort,
he'll love you for who you are.
Not your breasts.
Thanks.
Good morning.
Jen, Terri's here.
Good morning, Jen.
You look a lot better.
Oh, yeah. I had a shower and a shave
in the doctors' rooms.
Jen hates it if I don't shave.
Don't you?
Jenny's responses have deteriorated.
Come on, Terri,
give the girl a chance.
She's just having
a bit of a rough time.
It's day by day, isn't it, Jen?
Isn't it?
Sure.
Headley's solicitor
claims that the attack
was both vicious and unprovoked.
Yes, well, a bit of
a late night last night. Sorry.
If only all my late nights
were that good.
That's great!
This makes the girlfriend
sound like a psychopath.
I mean, take a look at her.
She looks like a psycho,
doesn't she?
Steph. I want to swap patients.
Gary Headley.
You've got to be kidding?!
You moved heaven and earth.
Yeah, look, I'm sorry about that.
I don't mind taking Gazza on.
Fine. You'd go over my head anyway.
Does this mean
you're going to go to the cops?
It means I'm swapping patients.
Where's Connor?
You've got me today.
No complaints from me.
You're better looking.
LOUD AGONISED GROANING
Be warned, Gaz, that was my last
patient that used a line like that.
Oh, oh.
How's it going, Mr Cummins?
One down, one to go.
That was one hell of a scream.
That was one hell of a stone.
Did you have a late night, eh?
You don't want to know.
Terri.
How is Mrs Morrison going?
She's not very good.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
I've got to talk to you
about something.
Okay, come on.
You should have told me about her.
We dropped some fairly big hints.
Obviously not big enough.
I've really put my foot in it.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
My pleasure.
I got the all-clear.
Good on you.
That's wonderful, huh?
Yes, love.
Feel like a walk?
Sharon, are you alright?
I thought Danny would've
at least called to see how I was.
Your ex?
Yeah. I thought once I had this
done, he'd come running back to me.
How wrong can you get?
I'm sorry.
Oh, the things you do for men, eh?
But, hey, there's one consolation.
Great breasts!
(both laugh)
Hey?
Yeah.
Are you right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, good to see you, mate.
How come I got stuck
with that chick?
Just the way things worked out.
A bit up herself, isn't she?
I talked to Stevo.
I lined up tickets
for Saturday's game for you.
I'm going to the police
when my shift's over.
What for?
I'm going to tell them what you told
me yesterday about raping Kristy.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Come on, mate. You admitted it.
You said that she
didn't want to have sex.
Oh, come on.
I was out of it on painkillers.
I didn't know what I was saying.
You weren't that out of it.
In fact, you bragged about it.
What do you want, Connor?
Money? Is that your game?
You reckon you can blackmail me?
You're just not used to
someone saying no, are you?
That's the problem.
You listen to me.
Stevo's got me off
three drink-driving charges.
He'll sort this out.
Besides, it's just your word
against mine.
Who do you reckon the cops
are going to believe, eh?
Some nobody looking for
15 seconds of fame?
Or someone the whole district
looks up to?
Someone who visits sick kids
dying of cancer.
You should see those kids' faces
light up when, me,
You should see those kids' faces
light up when, me,
me, Gazza the Head,
walks into the r
me, Gazza the Head,
walks into the room.
It's a shame
they'll have to find out
what sort of bloke you really are.
If the cops believe you,
I'm finished, mate.
You know what it's like
growing up out here.
You've got to bust your arse
to get anywhere.
The club will kick me out.
You should have thought about that
when your girlfriend said no.
Reginald Lyons,
chairman of the hospital board,
is a patron of the Cougars.
Yes, I'm well aware of that.
He wouldn't like to think that one
of your staff makes things up.
Are you calling Connor a liar?
Sister Sullivan, Connor
misconstrued what Gary said to him.
It's just a misunderstanding.
That's strange, because Connor
was very clear about what Gary said.
Making false accusations
is a very serious thing.
Well, I'm sure he knows
what he's doing.
Gary's a high-profile person.
Very well regarded
within the community.
If he's done nothing wrong,
Mr Casey,
he has nothing to worry about.
I want you to tell Connor
to pull his head in.
Mr Casey, unlike you,
I don't bully my staff.
If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it
if you'd leave my office.
You'll regret this.
Don't threaten me, Mr Casey.
You don't understand, Sister.
I don't need to threaten anyone.
Excuse me, what's going on?
It's alright. We called them.
I don't care who called.
JAZ: Sister, phone.
We want to make a statement.
You're getting an exclusive, Helen.
It's been a rough couple of days
for Gary.
He's had to suffer some very hurtful
and totally untruthful allegations.
Throughout the ordeal,
Gary has maintained his innocence.
Now we're happy to announce that
his name has been cleared totally.
The police have just informed us
Miss Bennett, Gary's ex-girlfriend,
will not be proceeding with
the sexual assault charge.
That's all we have to say
at this time.
Gary.
I wonder how much money it took?
Oh, a new car,
maybe a trip to Hawaii.
Well, I hope it's worth it.
Because she's still going to
get done for stabbing Gazza.
And he's still the hero.
Can't you tell the police
what Gary told you?
Without her statement
it's a waste of time.
My dad barracked for this club.
All my friends barracked for them.
But after this, I don't think I can.
Come on, Connor.
This could happen anywhere.
Any club.
It's just one guy, Gazza Headley.
Don't give up on the whole club.
Three beers, thanks.
And a double vodka, thanks.
You look happy.
The Gary Headley thing stinks,
doesn't it?
It's not the only thing that stinks.
Come on, Jen.
You've got to fight this.
You've been waiting over three years
now for a holiday.
Don't you bail out on me now.
You've been waiting for even longer
for me to pull my weight.
What's going to happen, Jen?
What's going to happen?
No more next times, okay?
I promise.
And then just one thing
led to another
Oh, Jared! Jared, Jared, Jared.
I know, I've been telling myself
the same thing since 3 a.m.
It's a complete mess.
She's probably re-booking
our honeymoon.
Ring her and say
it's all a big mistake.
You're sorry, but nothing's changed.
I can't do that.
Why not?
Then I'd be a complete bastard.
Jared, she'll get over it.
We all do.
A lot of chocolate,
a bit of bitching,
she'll forget it ever happened.
Or she'll clean your toilet
with your toothbrush.
That won't happen.
A bit like those drinks.
Oh, sorry.
LOUD CHEERING
I don't believe it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
(loudly) Booo-oooo!
Jaz, you'll get us kicked out.
I don't care.
Me neither.
I'm not so thirsty anyway.
Connor.
The tickets
for the game on Saturday.
No, Gary.
You know what that means now,
don't you?
Let's go.
What is it?
Her pupils are fixed and dilated.
(overcome) Oh
Jen
Oh, Jen.
Who have you told?
Peter, have you told anyone?
Peter?
I can't.
I've lost my beautiful wife.
I've lost her.
