00:00Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours
00:05With a little understanding
00:08You can find the perfect blend
00:14Neighbours should be there for one another
00:21That's when good neighbours become good
00:30At least now we know there's nothing to worry about.
00:41Once the judge finds out those two blokes lied, it'll all be over for them.
00:45It's going to be pretty hard for them to go past photographic evidence, man.
00:48I don't know. I mean, all the photos in the world aren't going to make them change their story, are they?
00:52What do you mean?
00:53Well, the jury's going to hear that I bashed Summers and Regan saw me do it.
00:57It's two against one. They can still put me away.
00:58No-one's putting you anywhere, Chan.
01:02Well, Sally, look after my godson for me, will you?
01:06I'll see you later, OK?
01:07I'd better get this over and done with, I guess.
01:18All I'm thinking about is your reputation, dear.
01:21It's honestly for the best.
01:23Nan, I'm running late.
01:24Des Clark can ring from the courthouse and let you know what happens.
01:27Tissues, honey. Some tissues.
01:30You care for Mike and I understand that.
01:33But he wouldn't want you hanging around the courthouse.
01:36Some extremely bad types go there.
01:38Nan, I went to court for your divorce. You were quite happy about that.
01:41That's completely different.
01:42I was an innocent victim, fighting for my rights.
01:47Mike has perpetrated a terrible act of violence.
01:50Nan, he says he didn't do it and I believe him.
01:54What about your job?
01:56Paul said I could have a day off.
01:58Jane, you cannot influence what happens in the court, but you'll have to live with the consequences.
02:04Once a young girl loses her reputation, she never gets it back.
02:07Like, people can be completely unforgiving.
02:10That's what's behind all this, isn't it?
02:12Mike's in trouble and you want me to just slide away because of what people might say?
02:15My dear, I know it sounds harsh, but I know the ways of the world.
02:20Because Mike is hurt, well, does that mean that your reputation should be trampled into the gutter?
02:26He has enough problems and he wouldn't want to cause that.
02:30Nan, Mike could go to prison.
02:32This could be the last time I get to be with him.
02:35Who knows what might happen?
02:37So I'll see you.
02:39Bye.
02:51Penny for it.
02:52Oh, Henry.
02:54Oh, I don't know, love, nothing in particular.
02:56You didn't clean those in your new shirt.
02:58Honestly, you'll never learn them, will you?
03:01You were thinking you've been through this scene so often it's routine,
03:05but it's not Henry Ramsey who's looking down the barrel this time.
03:09It's Mike Young, a clean living young bloke who's never even spat on a footpath.
03:13Sometimes you frighten me, Henry Ramsey.
03:16Why?
03:16It's one thing to know somebody well, but reading people's thoughts isn't fair.
03:20Thoughts should be private.
03:21It's nothing special. I was thinking the same thing myself.
03:23If you'd given up on me, Mum, I'd still be in jail today.
03:29But how would Mike cope?
03:31I'll touch real quick.
03:32I mean, I'm not suggesting...
03:33Sorry, how are we going?
03:35Sorry, did I interrupt something?
03:37No, no, right as right. Mum's just cleaning the fashion moccasins.
03:40That'll be the day.
03:42Oh, no, Charlene.
03:43But I'm trying to see that girl who was here if it wasn't screwed up.
03:46No, it's OK. I'll drop it into her, even if I get the chances.
03:49Not much risk of that.
03:50Why not?
03:51Well, after we deliver the photos, one of us has got to give evidence.
03:54Why?
03:55To testify when and where they were taken and that they haven't been forged or wadged up.
03:58Well, why can't you do it?
03:59You've had more court experience than I have.
04:01Three reasons.
04:02One, I've got a record, which can't be mentioned in court, but it might affect the attitude of the police.
04:07Two, when the heat's on, I keep making little jokes.
04:10It's just a nervous thing, but it doesn't go down too well with some people.
04:13Yes, the last time in court, he cracked a couple of funnies, and I think they cost him an extra two months.
04:18You've said three reasons, sir.
04:21Well, you see, mate, I've got all this gardening to do.
04:23Oh, fair go, Henry.
04:25Yeah, I've got a lot of work to do as well.
04:27It's young Todd. He can handle a couple of hours on his pad, but he can't work alone all day.
04:30Yeah, well, I wonder if he should be along at all. He's terribly young.
04:33He's just doing Mrs. Mengel's place.
04:35Now, I want to see Mike's lawyer, too. Make sure he's got the right steer on these.
04:39If he wants me to hang in, Mum, maybe give evidence. I'll have to stay. I'll ring if that happens.
04:42Henry, are you sure they're going to stand up as evidence?
04:44Oh, they're pretty incriminating.
04:47Dave Summers is bending down, reaching out with his supposedly paralysed arm.
04:51But they're only as good as this bloke.
04:53He stands up, Salve.
04:55Thanks, Henry. That's just the kind of build-up I needed.
04:58No worries, mate. The cops hate witnesses like you.
05:00The butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.
05:02Well, I mean, you haven't even had them developed yet.
05:04There's no chance they won't turn out or anything, is there?
05:05No chance in the whole wide world.
05:08This is Henry Ramsey Enterprises. We deliver.
05:10Look, I hate to interrupt the Ramsey Street tycoon,
05:12but the printing place will be open pretty shortly.
05:14Well, someone else needs my talents. What can I say?
05:16Better finish getting ready.
05:17Oh, Henry.
05:19Oh, don't worry. I'll phone Charlie.
05:20I'll have lunch. We'll work something out.
05:22What a good boy you are.
05:27When Uncle Mike gets home from court,
05:29I'm going to tell him how good you've been.
05:33He'll be home real soon.
05:35There's no way they'll keep him in jail.
05:43Hello, Sally.
05:44Helen.
05:44I know, I know.
05:45I'm not supposed to be minding Jamie until after lunch,
05:47but I thought I'd pop in and see how you're getting there.
05:49You've been baking some scones.
05:51I've made a few extra.
05:52What a lovely thought.
05:54I'll whip some cream,
05:55and then when Mike and Des get home...
06:00Sally?
06:02Is anything wrong?
06:04What is it?
06:05It's just that...
06:07Mike's part of Des's family,
06:09and that makes him my family too.
06:11But if he goes to jail,
06:14it'll just be the end for tips.
06:16I'll know what will.
06:17Oh, Sally.
06:38What's up?
06:39Lucy's gone over to Emma's.
06:41She said I couldn't go.
06:42You wouldn't have liked it anyway.
06:44You know what they talk about?
06:46Boys,
06:47new hairdos,
06:48clothes,
06:49boys.
06:51And who they'll hate this week.
06:53Do you hate Mrs. Mangle?
06:56You do, don't you?
06:57So do I.
06:59Shh.
07:00Listen, what do you want?
07:01I want to help you.
07:02Last time you helped me,
07:04you got stung by a bee, remember?
07:06And you don't want that happening.
07:08That wasn't the last time.
07:09The last time was when the handbrake
07:11failed on the head of his old car.
07:12I nearly got killed.
07:14That's why I don't want you helping.
07:17But there's no car now.
07:18Only bees.
07:19No, there's none.
07:20I've been watching
07:20and I haven't seen any.
07:22Please, Todd.
07:22I could do the weeding while you mow.
07:26Great.
07:26I'll sit over there.
07:28Okay.
07:29But you've got to do Richard's hold
07:30or else you're going straight home.
07:32Sure, I'll be good.
07:33Oh, good morning, Mrs. Mangle.
07:35What are you two children doing?
07:37Oh, I've got a job with Henry
07:39and Katie's doing some labelling.
07:41Good grief.
07:43Is that Henry Ramsey?
07:47Henry Ramsey?
07:49Henry Ramsey?
07:51Come here.
07:54Lovely day for it, Mrs. Mangle.
07:57I employed you to care for my garden,
07:59not that pair of troublemaking imps.
08:01Oh, no worries, Mrs. Mangle.
08:02They're on strict instructions
08:04and I'll be doing all the tricky bits.
08:05That's not good enough.
08:07Well, that's up to you.
08:09I know you expect prompt service
08:11and I've got to help Mike out
08:12so I thought they could make a start.
08:14But you're the boss.
08:14I can stop them.
08:16But it'll put the work back.
08:18That's all.
08:19Oh, very well.
08:20As long as they only do the easy bits.
08:22But be warned,
08:23if the work's not done properly,
08:25then you're not going to be paid.
08:26Oh, you're a shrewd businesswoman, Mrs. Mangle.
08:29I hate dealing with ladies like you.
08:31And what about Bouncer's kennel?
08:32I should have thought
08:33that would have been finished by now.
08:35Oh, Mrs. Mangle?
08:36An ordinary run-of-the-mill dog kennel
08:38you would have had already.
08:39This is the deluxe model
08:40at a standard model price.
08:42I can't be fairer than that.
08:43Well, so long as you get on with it,
08:45that's all.
08:45I don't want to wait forever.
08:48Henry.
08:49Hi, Mrs. Mangle.
08:50Come on, mate.
08:51We've got to get these pictures printed.
08:52What pictures are these?
08:54It's evidence for the court.
08:56Come on, we're going to have to rush.
08:58I'll be back later this morning.
08:59Bye, Mrs. Mangle.
09:00See you, kids.
09:01Bye, Henry.
09:02See you.
09:03Good luck.
09:08Now you two,
09:09you better behave yourselves.
09:11You hear me?
09:12Oh, it hasn't looked a wreck.
09:22No, of course you don't.
09:24I don't know what came over me.
09:26I haven't been sleeping too well.
09:27I guess that doesn't help.
09:30Des has had so much to contend with lately.
09:33Daphne and his mother falling ill
09:35and now Mike.
09:39He and Mike are so close, you know.
09:43He's like the kid brother he never had.
09:46They've leaned on each other,
09:47pulled each other through.
09:49I can't help worrying about it.
09:51If Mike does go to jail,
09:53who's dad's going to lean on then?
09:55You, by the sound of it.
09:58Well, I'm always here.
09:59If he needs me, he knows something.
10:02Somehow I don't think it's going to be enough.
10:04Well, there's no point in fearing the worst.
10:06I mean, we don't even know
10:07the outcome of the trial yet.
10:09No.
10:10Jimmy, wet again.
10:12This boy is world champion,
10:14Nappy Winter.
10:15Why don't I take him home
10:16to Jim and Beverly's now?
10:17I'm going to be there all day.
10:18I can be there.
10:19You go and have some rest.
10:21No arguments.
10:23I'm the oldest member
10:24of the Jamie Clark babysitting team
10:26and I'm pulling rack.
10:27Well, thanks.
10:28And try not to worry about the trial.
10:31Mike's innocent.
10:32We all know that.
10:33Yeah.
10:34All he has to do now
10:35is convince the judge and jury of that.
10:44Did you find the fire?
10:45Yeah.
10:46He's been held up at his chambers.
10:47He's just about to leave.
10:49So much for breaking our necks
10:50to get here, really.
10:51What chance have I got
10:52if my lawyer can't even keep an appointment?
10:54He's a good man, Mike.
10:56Good men are busy.
10:57He'll turn up, mate.
10:58Don't worry.
10:59Yeah, right.
11:06How you going, Dez?
11:07Must be hard.
11:09Mike needs support.
11:11It's the least I can do.
11:19That's it, mate.
11:21Nearly there.
11:21Stay cool and shut up
11:33about the photos.
11:34Yeah, don't worry.
11:36They should be printed soon.
11:38Then they'll be laughing
11:39on the other side of their face.
11:40I'm pretty sure
12:04they've been over there.
12:05Oh, great.
12:06You've been a real help.
12:07Can I do something else?
12:09Maybe I can empty that.
12:10No, it's a bit heavy.
12:11No, it's not.
12:12Yes, it is.
12:13Now look what you've done.
12:15I'm sorry.
12:16You said you wouldn't be any trouble.
12:18I'll help you pick it up.
12:19Yeah, quick.
12:21You terrible children.
12:23I knew you couldn't be trusted.
12:24We'll pick it all up, Mrs. Mangle.
12:26Stuff and nonsense.
12:28Once grass seeds get into the garden,
12:29you can't get them out.
12:30I'll spend all next summer weeding.
12:33The grass wasn't that long
12:34and there weren't that many seeds.
12:36Don't you tell me
12:37how many seeds there are, young man.
12:39I know and you don't.
12:40Oh, oh.
12:42Oh, my poor little daisies.
12:44Oh, my poor little daisies.
12:47What daisies?
12:48My flowers.
12:50They were just coming up
12:51and I promised them to the church.
12:54Um, I'm very sorry, Mrs. Mangle.
12:57I thought they were weeds.
12:58They're certainly not weeds.
12:59And you know very well they're not weeds.
13:01You've pulled them all out,
13:03you wretched girl.
13:05She didn't mean it, Mrs. Mangle.
13:07Honest.
13:08Well, that may be the tune
13:10you're singing now, young man,
13:12but I know better.
13:13Everyone seems to be
13:14shredding me into the ground,
13:16but I won't stand for it.
13:18And you two, come on,
13:19the pair of you,
13:20we are going to see Mr. Robinson.
13:22Go on.
13:25He's asleep.
13:27Put him in Todd's room.
13:28I hope you don't mind
13:30my bringing Jamie over here.
13:32I'm supposed to keep an eye
13:33on Katie and Todd as well.
13:34You're taking on too much.
13:35I miss being around children.
13:38And Sally needs a break.
13:42Mending.
13:43It's not necessary.
13:45I don't have anything else to do.
13:47Don't you have people to see?
13:50Nope.
13:52Well, someone should know
13:52that you're available
13:53with your qualifications.
13:54The word has gone around already
13:55that I'm available.
13:56I found that out yesterday.
13:59I'll get out and about
14:00in my own good time.
14:01Thanks, Helen.
14:02Well, there's no hurry.
14:03I'm around for the holidays.
14:04I'll get that.
14:05It's all right.
14:05It's under control.
14:10In you go.
14:12These destructive little terrors
14:14have invaded my garden.
14:15They pulled up my daisies
14:16and tipped grass seeds
14:17all over my flower beds.
14:19You're not going to tell me
14:20that's not some form of reprisal.
14:22Todd?
14:23Well, I was working for Henry.
14:25Katie pulled out some plants
14:26by mistake
14:27and I spilled the grass catcher.
14:28There's nothing innocent about it
14:30and I'd like to know
14:31what action you're going to take.
14:33You guys go across
14:35and pick up the grass clippings
14:36and when you finish cleaning up
14:37come back here.
14:38We didn't mean it.
14:39It's all right, Todd.
14:40We'll talk about it later.
14:40Off you go.
14:42Well, that's not good enough,
14:44Mr. Robinson.
14:45If you introduce waves and strays
14:47into the neighbourhood,
14:47you have to control them.
14:49And if ever children
14:50need a thrashing,
14:51that per do.
14:51Mrs. Mangal,
14:53you are an interfering old busybody
14:55and I have had enough.
14:57As usual,
14:58you're making a mountain
14:59out of a molehill
15:00and it won't wash.
15:02So why don't you
15:02buzz off
15:04and peddle your misery
15:04somewhere else?
15:05Who's that?
15:24No idea.
15:25G'day.
15:25This is Mr. Randall,
15:27Mike's solicitor.
15:28We've filled him in.
15:29G'day.
15:30There were six photos
15:31but I reckon he's four of the ones.
15:35What do you reckon?
15:37Good clear prints.
15:38I'll need someone
15:39to give evidence.
15:40Yeah, I can do that.
15:41What was that?
15:42Do you think they'll help?
15:43They'll certainly mitigate
15:44against Grievous bodily harm
15:45but don't get your hopes
15:46too high.
15:47If assault is proved,
15:48it could mean up to six months.
15:50Depends on how the court
15:51views the evidence.
15:52But they are useful.
15:52They will help the case.
15:53Oh, yes.
15:54No doubt about that.
15:55Very useful.
15:56Will I have to give evidence
15:57as well?
15:58I wouldn't think so.
15:59I've got this young fellow
16:00working, so I'll get back
16:01to him now.
16:02Thanks a lot, mate.
16:03Yeah, Henry,
16:03you've been great.
16:04Should we apples, mate?
16:05No worries.
16:06I'll see how it goes.
16:07Give us a ring, will you?
16:08Leave a message with mum
16:09or something?
16:09Thanks a lot, mate.
16:10You've done everything
16:10you could.
16:11One more job
16:12on the way out.
16:13Psychological warfare.
16:19Picked up any wallets
16:20lately, Henry?
16:21World Expo 88 is the biggest event
16:30game.
16:32I want every last seed picked up.
16:34Do you understand?
16:34Yes.
16:35And when you've finished,
16:36you will never set foot
16:37on this property again.
16:38Is that clear?
16:39Yes.
16:40Since your uncle
16:40can't discipline you,
16:42the only answer
16:42is to quarantine you
16:43like troublesome dogs.
16:45How's it going, kids?
16:46How dare you?
16:47Hey?
16:47How dare you inflict
16:48these delinquents on me?
16:50Oh, here you go,
16:50Mrs. Mengel.
16:51They're good little workers.
16:52They might make the odd mistake,
16:53but nothing intentional.
16:54They've pillaged my floods
16:55and botched my flowerbeds
16:57and I am not going
16:58to pay you a single cent.
16:59That one looked pretty good
17:02to me, Mrs. Mengel.
17:02Now, I warned you
17:04that if there was any trouble,
17:06you would not be paid
17:07while it's been
17:07a litany of disaster.
17:09So I'm dispensing
17:09with your services,
17:10Henry Ramsey,
17:11and that applies
17:12to the garden
17:12as well as the dog kennel.
17:14That's not fair.
17:15No.
17:16And you two only speak
17:17when you're spoken to.
17:19Henry didn't do anything.
17:20It's okay, Todd.
17:22You'll cost yourself money,
17:23Mrs. Mengel.
17:23You won't get a better
17:24dog kennel than that.
17:25Not for that.
17:25Not one more word
17:27and not one more seed.
17:29One brain.
17:31What'd you say?
17:33Doesn't matter.
17:35It's my fault,
17:36not Todd's.
17:37I'm sorry, Henry.
17:38You won't find him,
17:39will you?
17:40No, I mean,
17:40Judy's a good worker.
17:42Okay,
17:43what do we need
17:44to do to finish up?
17:46Max, what do you mean?
17:47Can you get
17:48the plane tickets or not?
17:51Yes, brother dear,
17:52the wedding is definitely on.
17:56Max, these jokes
17:57aren't even original.
17:58I've heard them all before.
18:02Oh, I think I'm being
18:03a very good sport.
18:06Why else would I put up
18:06with a rambling boy
18:07and a brother like you?
18:10All right, then.
18:11Bye-bye.
18:13Lock him in a room
18:14with Mrs. Mengel.
18:15They can nag each other
18:16to death.
18:17It's not a bad idea.
18:18I can sell tickets.
18:19How did the photos turn out?
18:21It turned out well.
18:22I'll just have to wait
18:23and see now.
18:23Oh, fingers crossed.
18:25And what's the problem
18:26with Mrs. Mengel?
18:27What sort of a woman
18:28picks on little kids?
18:29Oh, Nell Mengel
18:30picks on anything that moves.
18:31Todd and Katie
18:32pulled out a couple
18:32of plants
18:33and spilled some grass seeds.
18:34So she fired them
18:35and me as well.
18:36Be grateful you're ahead.
18:38People don't sack me.
18:39I sack them.
18:41And she owes me money.
18:42Oh, Henry, leave it.
18:44She'll badmouth me
18:44all over town, Mum.
18:45I can't have that.
18:46I run a business.
18:47There's only one answer
18:48to Nell Mengel.
18:49A couple of gumboots
18:50and a bucket of wet cement.
18:52No.
18:53No, there's got to be
18:54some way to get it
18:54back on side.
18:56It's a personal challenge.
18:57Henry, it'll take
18:58more than charm
18:59to make her forgive
19:00Todd and Katie.
19:04It wasn't our fault, Uncle Jim.
19:05But you did uproot the plants
19:07and you did spill
19:08the grass clippings.
19:09All right, Mrs. Mengel
19:10made too much of it,
19:10but we all know
19:11what she's like.
19:12We have to live with her.
19:13We're trying our best.
19:14I accept that.
19:16But if you were going
19:16to live in this house,
19:17you're going to have
19:17to try a lot harder.
19:18Is that clear?
19:19Yes, Uncle Jim.
19:21All right.
19:21Now I'm going to my room
19:23to get some peace and quiet,
19:24if that's not too much to ask.
19:31What did he mean,
19:32if we stay?
19:34Well, that's just
19:35his way of talking.
19:36He's pretty worried
19:36about the fire and everything.
19:39Now, you two have been
19:40working hard.
19:40Who's for a morning snack?
19:42Me, Aunty Helen.
19:42Then you'd better
19:43come into the kitchen.
19:55Where's Randall now?
19:56He's got a matter
19:57in another court.
19:57He'll be...
19:58Yeah, well,
19:58he better be.
19:59He'll be okay.
20:00Look, they've already
20:01been implicated
20:02with Daft's death.
20:03Once we prove
20:04that Summers
20:05has been faking it,
20:05you're in the clear.
20:06The court won't believe
20:07a word they say.
20:08Dez, this story makes sense.
20:09I went after Summers.
20:10I wanted revenge.
20:12Up to six months.
20:13That's what he said.
20:14And he's on my side.
20:14Michael James Young.
20:16Michael James Young.
20:17Michael James Young.
20:18Where's Randall?
20:19Here he is.
20:20Ready, Mike?
20:21Scott, when you're
20:22wanted for evidence,
20:23the constable will call you.
20:24I mean, Jane,
20:25you can sit in the
20:25public gallery.
20:26I can't.
20:27I can't.
20:28We're with you, mate.
20:29Yep, 100%, okay?
20:32Yeah.
20:32You'll be right.
20:33Good luck, mate.
20:36Yeah, mate.
20:37So, mate.
20:4033 and a third sale.
20:41Rush in and grab a bargain.
20:44Oh, Dad, for heaven's sake,
20:45will you get off my back?
20:467 o'clock Monday.
20:48Mattia's wedding plans
20:49hit a snag.
20:49All right, if that's
20:50how you feel, don't come.
20:51I was all right
20:52before he got to me.
20:53I think he was
20:54trying to kill me.
20:55And Mike's future
20:56doesn't look bright.
20:56By your own admission,
20:58you went searching
20:59for David Summers
20:59to have revenge upon him.
21:01It is perfectly clear
21:03that you did
21:03exactly what you
21:04set out to do.
21:057 o'clock Monday.
21:06And how do you
21:07find the accused?
21:08Guilty or not guilty?
