0:00:02 > 0:00:06# They were burning themselves out in the sun
0:00:06 > 0:00:09# Worlds away from anyone
0:00:09 > 0:00:12# They were burning themselves out in the sun
0:00:12 > 0:00:18# There was just enough to get that far away... #
0:00:34 > 0:00:37So here we are...Sydney, Australia,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40in our ritzy new apartment, courtesy of the radio station
0:00:40 > 0:00:42my mum's been working for the past three months.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I do now have my own radio show.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Monday through Friday, every afternoon, let joy be unconfined.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Although, honestly, I only have a million or so listeners.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Who would have thought devoting myself to poetry full time
0:00:58 > 0:01:00would pay such...dividends?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Sure, there's a small amount of lecturing involved
0:01:04 > 0:01:07at the science academy, but for the most part,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10they leave me alone to conduct my groundbreaking research.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- We're home!- Aaah!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hi!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And I'm happy too. I imagine you surf sponsors are even happier.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Guess the time really was right to leave Angelus.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I miss Egg, of course. For a time there he was my best friend ever.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And then Vicki, the girl who seemed to hold
0:01:33 > 0:01:35a lifetime season ticket to my heart.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39And Mel. I just had this feeling that after certain events,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44involving kissing and standing her up, I'd kind of worn my welcome out.
0:01:44 > 0:01:51Suggestions, please. A word that rhymes with fire brigade. Um...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Everglade.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Marmalade.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Marmalade.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Marmalade. Marmalade...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Marmalade, Lockie.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Pass the marmalade, please.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12'OK, so maybe we haven't left Angelus yet.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'But it wasn't long before we did.'
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Sorry, Sarge, I was miles away.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Right. Now, team, as it's only two days
0:02:22 > 0:02:25until we...leave Angelus forever...
0:02:25 > 0:02:29PFFFFFFTT!
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Pardon you, Blob.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Again. Don't know what's got into her.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38In the meantime, I thought it might be an idea to move the weekly
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Leonard family meetings to a daily basis,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44so that we can get across all our various to-do lists.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Lockie, you first.- Oh, right.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48To-do list.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51'Pack surfboard.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52'Say goodbye.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56'Say goodbye. Easier said than done.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59'Maybe it was time to talk to someone who'd set sail
0:02:59 > 0:03:03'for more towns than anyone I'd ever heard of.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08'And talking about something was better than not talking at all.'
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I've come for tips, Mel. How to make that grand exit,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20you've done it heaps. Do I go for tears or laughs?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Are there speeches?- So you're assuming you'll be missed?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Oh, you!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Sure, I'll help. But my question is...have you got the guts
0:03:29 > 0:03:33to carry out the three tasks I'm about to set you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Task one...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39'OK, I didn't have to carry out Mel's tasks,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43'but just maybe she'd think better of me if I did.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46'So, task one, I had to make peace with my worst enemy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51'And since it was the weekend, I knew exactly where to find him.'
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Sir, I'd just like to say...
0:03:55 > 0:03:59thank you. For everything you've tried to teach me.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Math-wise.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm...sorry, Leonard.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08I find myself strangely morose at your family's departure.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yeah, it will be tough without Phillip.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It's not that. Though Phillip is obviously a great loss.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- It's you, Leonard Major, you're the one I'm going to miss.- I am?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Even I need someone like you, Leonard, the class dunce,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29so that my little gems of sarcasm
0:04:29 > 0:04:33might fill the classroom with howling laughter.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Right.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Go, boy. Leave me to bring the curtain down on this golden age.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54'Sarge didn't really have any worst enemies to make peace with,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56'but making his goodbyes to Angelus
0:04:56 > 0:04:59'was still the hardest thing he'd ever had to do.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- Oh, steady on. Now, remember, we're trained professionals.- Course we are.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Got it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08What about your poetry book, Sarge?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Ever since Joy's wedding ring was stolen
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I'm no longer certain poetry has a place in the Angelus of today.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Don't say such things!- That can't be true, say it isn't so!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24From now on, you'll be leading this ceaseless war on crime in this town.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Whether poetry has a role to play, it's your call now.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30PHONE RINGS
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's the emergency phone.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35After you, Sarge.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38One last response.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- DOORS SLAM - It's Dad.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46He's had some bad news.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Josh's family's empire's gone into meltdown
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and brought Dad's business down with it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55We've lost all our money, our house, furniture, everything.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- I'm so sorry, Vicki.- Doesn't look like they're going to be building
0:05:59 > 0:06:03a retirement village, or anything here any more.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Looks like your house is safe, though.- You seem to be forgetting,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11all of this will soon be Constable Wattle's domain.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It'll always be your house to me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16There's nothing to worry about.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20We'll be getting all our money back shortly. 3.30 at the latest.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Dad's in denial. - Just you wait, Sergeant.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I always said your family's what's holding this town back.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I think this is you, Constable Wattle.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Ahem. Mr Streeton?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37No point talking what you could have been,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41or regretting the things that went on.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Remove the clouds, look at the bigger picture.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55# And all that you'll see is me
0:06:57 > 0:07:01# And all I truly believe
0:07:02 > 0:07:05# That I was born to try
0:07:06 > 0:07:08# I've learned to love
0:07:09 > 0:07:12# To be understanding
0:07:12 > 0:07:15# And believe in life
0:07:16 > 0:07:19# But you gotta make choices
0:07:20 > 0:07:22# Be wrong or right
0:07:24 > 0:07:29# Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33# But I was born to try... #
0:07:33 > 0:07:39I just want someone to tell me it isn't fair.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44That's gold, Constable Wattle. You've taken policing to a whole new level.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46'Mel's second task was a lot tougher.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49'I wasn't sure I was going to be able to complete it.'
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- You have to do what?- I've to do the one thing I've always meant to do
0:07:53 > 0:07:54with someone, but never have.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Have you stopped to think there's a reason why I've never surfed.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Couldn't swim? - No, because it's sick and unnatural,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04and you get nutted in the goolies. All the time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I'll never ask you to do anything for me again.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You won't have to if I get caught in a rip.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Let's do this for old times sake!
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- There's no one else on the planet I'd do this for.- I know. On the count of three.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19One...two...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20three!
0:08:20 > 0:08:25'Of course, things don't ever work out the way you expect them to.'
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Oh!- Ow!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30'So much for task number two.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34'I guess it was more than a friend could ask for.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39'Meanwhile, Phillip was nearing the end of his to-do list,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42'but he'd saved the trickiest bit till last.'
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Don't worry, Cyril. Nothing will change.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Not really. Nothing at all.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55Except it won't be me looking after you...it'll be Joe.
0:09:01 > 0:09:09Unusual. After all this time, I must have developed an allergy to Cyril.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- Are you sure it's not anything else? - Goodness me, Joe. Allergy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20'And Mum, of course, she had an entire town to say goodbye to.'
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Sadly now it's time for me to bring this final edition
0:09:24 > 0:09:27of Let Joy Be Unconfined to a close.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31But I can't go without one last thank you
0:09:31 > 0:09:34to all my listeners out there.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40People of Angelus, you have taken an ordinary mum into your hearts
0:09:40 > 0:09:43and made me feel very special.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So, for the last time,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52this is Joy Leonard saying I will never forget you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I might just step outside for some fresh air.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07CHEERING
0:10:07 > 0:10:11# For she's a jolly good fellow For she's a jolly good fellow... #
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I just can't understand these tears. - And Cyril isn't even here,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19so it can't be an allergy, and it's not as if you're crying over me.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21It just doesn't make any sense.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Three cheers for Mrs L!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Hip, hip. Hooray! Hip, hip. Hooray!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Hip, hip. Hooray! - Get away with you, it was nothing!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Really, it was my pleasure.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35ALL: Awww!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38'Mel's third and final task involved Vicki,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42'which meant paying a visit to the Streetons' new home.'
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Hi, Mr Streeton.- G'day, Larry. How you going, mate?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Bit of a comeuppance, isn't it, Lionel?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Still, got to look on the bright side, eh?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Cooee! Hello, Lockie!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Visitors already. Vicki? Visitors!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08See ya.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Hi.- Hi.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm sorry about your house and everything.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's OK. It's been good, actually.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21You're just saying that, aren't you?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24No, it's true. We've already spent more time together
0:11:24 > 0:11:27than what we would've in the last six months.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You have to get pretty up close and personal in a caravan.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- That's what you've always wanted, isn't it? To be closer as a family. - Always.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Hey, do you want to go for a walk?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42'OK, Lockie. Mel's third and final and most difficult of tasks...'
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Tell the person you care the most about exactly why.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Hey, so, listen...- This is so weird. After all this time,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54you're the one that's leaving and I'm the one that's staying behind.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58You're not staying right here exactly. You're going back to boarding school.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01With all those pricey school fees? I don't think so.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- I'm starting back at Angelus High tomorrow.- Say that again!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I'm staying right here in Angelus.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Listen...- I have something to say before you go.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- So do I. - I know we've had our ups and downs,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22but there's one thing that I'm sure of...even when I'm 90,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm still going to be thinking about you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Every day. What?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28What are you grinning for?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33You just took the words right out of my mouth. Every last one of them.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'So, mission accomplished. It was time to report back to Mel.'
0:12:39 > 0:12:43All done, Mel. Three out of three.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48The three tasks I set you. Are you truly so mind bogglingly dumb
0:12:48 > 0:12:51you couldn't see that they were all about me?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56You could have at least TRIED to make peace with your worst enemy.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00What?! Mel, you're not my worst enemy.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Why would you say that?- It'd have been nice if you'd said so.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07And while we're on the subject, I don't see why you couldn't have done
0:13:07 > 0:13:11the one thing you always meant to do with someone, but never have.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Like surfing, at the same time, on separate boards.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18With me, and not with Egg.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And here's the best one...
0:13:21 > 0:13:26You could have told the person you cared the most about
0:13:26 > 0:13:29exactly why they'd been so important to you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36See? Anybody can see I'll never mean as much to you as Vicki does.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39On the other hand,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Vicki's about as good on a surfboard as a fish is on a bicycle.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And if you can live with that,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I think I should be able to.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Egg's board's still got a few hours before it's due back.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56If you're free.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Unless you're not done yelling at me, that is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03'So here's the thing...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06'When I thought about what I'd be leaving behind,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09'like the best friend I'd ever had,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12'and a girl who wasn't going to shake herself out of my head
0:14:12 > 0:14:13'till we were 90 years old,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17'and a surfing buddy who loved the ocean just as much as I did,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19'I had to ask myself...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'Why were we leaving, again?'
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Listen.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24GENTLE CROAKING
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's the frogs.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30They're back.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Music of the night, we used to call it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36She's a very impressive woman, your mother.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I hope you realise that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I do. - The impact she's had on Angelus.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Watch out, Sydney.- Yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Watch out.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50If she hadn't have lost her wedding ring,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52we might have stayed...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55But if my message of police work and poetry can't...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58prevent theft in my own town,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03might as well pack it up and waddle off into the sunset.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09'It was true.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13'With the frogs back, this place felt even more like home.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16'Which made the thought of leaving even weirder.'
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Phillip...are you crying?
0:15:19 > 0:15:24It's just one of those unsolved scientific...mysteries.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm sure they'll find the answer...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29in time.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Do you think there's a chance it might just
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- have something to do with leaving Angelus?- What?!
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Leaving our home, and Angelus, and our friends,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45to live thousands of miles away on the other side of the country?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47As if!
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Yeah, yes.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Of course I have to come to Sydney to do the show. Yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, absolutely.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It would be ludicrous of me to think I could record it from Angelus.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Yes, I know!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- How silly is that? - < BABY CRIES
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Er... Excuse me. Lockie...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Would you see to Blob?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'm just on the phone to...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20To Beyonce.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Yes, Beyonce!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Derek, I'm here.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Dirty nappy. Good-o.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Come on, Blob. Lay down.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Thank you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44'I figured out why Blob had been so grumpy lately.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48'Sitting on a secret, not being able to tell anyone, can be stressful.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53'Especially one so big it could just change everything.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Seeing as this is our, er... last day in this house,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02and with the power due to be cut off prior to our departure around 3pm,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I would hope we have completed the tasks on our "to do" list.- Check.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Check.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Lockie?
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Well... there is one last item I'd like to factor in.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- A farewell party? We'd love to come! - I wouldn't miss it!- I'm there!
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- And you want us to bring some cake? - Cake?- TOGETHER: That's affirmative.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Oh, now that's funny, I thought we were to bring the cake. Never mind.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34They're past their use-by date, but that's not going to hurt anyone.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38We wouldn't want to see them going to waste, would we?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Rev.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Joy, Sarge, I wonder if you could step this way, please?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Goodness me, look at all those cakes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55How are we supposed to eat those? We'll be gone in an hour.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57An hour? Oof!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05MUSIC: "Bridal Chorus" by Richard Wagner
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Mum, Sarge,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I know you've always wanted to renew your wedding vows, but...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I think you'll be needing this...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Oh, Lockie!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Oh, Lockie, where on earth did you find my wedding ring?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Trust me, you don't want to know,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33but I don't think I'll be going back there very soon.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47OK, folks, we're racing for time here.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Gather round, please.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51OK, Sarge,
0:18:51 > 0:18:52quick as you can.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Do you take Joy...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Hold it right there!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01You drive a hard bargain, Joy Leonard,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but OK, you win.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07If it means you'll stay with our radio station,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09then you can do your show from Angelus.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14And I guess we'll have to double your salary while we're at it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Um...
0:19:19 > 0:19:20I see.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Um, Rev, could we just have one second?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- SARGE:- Please, nobody go anywhere.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Leonards, family meeting inside now.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Sorry, Reverend, we'll just be a... Just one second.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39This extraordinary family conference is now in session, agreed?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41TOGETHER: Agreed.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44We have matters to discuss that impact on our...
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Cut to the chase, Sarge.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Who votes we stay in Angelus?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- I do!- I do.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I do.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And I do too.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Which means we stay in Angelus.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:23 > 0:20:25How about that?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28We don't have to leave Angelus to get everything we want,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31everything we want has been in Angelus all along.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's true what they say - "You can have your cake and throw it too."
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Don't you mean eat it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Oh!
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Ah!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You didn't seem that worried
0:21:32 > 0:21:35that I'd be leaving Angelus and you'd never see me again.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I wasn't.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39You were never leaving Angelus.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40I wasn't?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Why not?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Because you love me, Lockie Leonard.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51I do.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12- I suppose I should probably see about getting the power put on tomorrow.- Yes, probably.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Yeah, good idea.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I guess so.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17CREAKING
0:22:17 > 0:22:20'Still, there's one thing about the Leonards -
0:22:20 > 0:22:23'wherever we find ourselves and whatever we do,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25'we can always make our own fun.'
0:22:25 > 0:22:27TOGETHER: # When I see you, baby
0:22:27 > 0:22:29# I go outta my head
0:22:29 > 0:22:31# And I just can't get enough
0:22:31 > 0:22:32# And I just can't get enough
0:22:32 > 0:22:34# Ooh-ooh-ooh
0:22:34 > 0:22:36# We slip and slide as we fall in love
0:22:36 > 0:22:39# And I just can't seem to
0:22:39 > 0:22:41# Get enough of
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- # Doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo - Bam, bam-bam
