- Some people worry a lot you know?

Even if things are good, they worry

because they've got nothing to worry about.

Me?

I never worry.

The way I look at it, no matter how bad things get

you can always find an up side.

Why, take the fact that Martin in the shower

comes after Charlie.

You can bet your life he's always gonna be slow.

(knocks)

Hey Charlie, you going to be out of there before lunch time?

[CHARLIE] One minute okay?

- Okay.

Everyday it's always one minute.

Now this can be seriously annoying, but it isn't.

Here's why.

- Morning.

- Hey Bridgette.

Having to wait means I get to see a gorgeous girl

first thing in the morning.

How bad is that?

And if I'm kept waiting longer, I'm forced to see

two gorgeous girls.

- Morning.

- Oh, hi Guy.

- Hey Cassie.

- Then if Charlie's super slow, I can get really lucky

and see a third gorgeous chick.

- G'day Guy.

- Hey Lauren.

(knocks)

- Bridgette, you forgot your towel.

[BRIDGETTE] Thank you.

(giggles)

- See what I mean?

It might be a pain having to hang about

but what a great way to start the day.

(grunts)

- Oh, are you all right there?

- Yep, couldn't be better.

(heavy breathing)

Even with heavy duty stuff like training,

the secret is not to get too uptight about it.

Take in the views, smell the air.

- Come on Guy, pick up the pace we have six more laps

then we're done.

- Of course the coach might have a

slightly different attitude.

And when it comes to surfing, I never worry I just do it.

Let's face it, how could you possibly worry

when you're doing something like this?

- How is it that on land Guy puts along like a

second hand tractor then he jumps on a surfboard

and suddenly he's a Ferrari?

- Ah, he's one of those lucky people that

never feels pressure you know?

Every day's a Saturday.

- Saturday has to end eventually doesn't it?

- Maybe, but he sure is making the most of it

while it lasts.

- Woo!

(waves splashing)

Overall, life's a great thing and right now

couldn't get much better.

(yells)

Great place, great surf and great people.

Especially the people.

(screams)

(laughs)

(cheerful music)

After months together, I thought we earned ourselves

a bit of a celebration.

I've got a few bucks stashed away and figured this

would be as good a way as any to use it.

(mumbles)

Guys, these are on me right specially made to my own

very secret recipe.

They're unique.

(laughs)

- I'd believe that.

- Yeah, no one else could've possibly come up with

something that looks like this.

- Aw.

- How are you supposed to drink these?

Like some sort of skills test.

- Aw, settle settle.

- We're listening aren't we Bridgette?

- We're all ears and we're wondering what this

sudden outburst of generosity is all about?

- Everything and nothing.

- See I knew that.

(laughs)

- Thanks Guy for clearing that up for us.

- Excuse me, can you two bag your heads and let Guy finish.

- You mean there's more?

- Yep.

I meant that everything in the sense of the first months

here have been a real buzz and nothing in that you've all

been great and I hope none of you ever change.

- Thank you, that's really sweet of you Guy.

- Cool, so lets have a toast.

I'm not really sure what we're toasting

but let's do it anyway.

(laughs)

- How about to Solar Blue that's why we're here isn't it?

- Right, to Solar Blue.

- Wait.

Sorry, do you mind taking a photo of us?

- To Solar Blue!

(camera click)

[GUY] It's funny how things happen, this very moment when

I thought things couldn't get any better

was also the moment my life would go into a tailspin.

Through no fault of my own,

I was finally going to start worrying.

Big time.

(glass shatters)

[GUY] But the storm clouds still needed time to gather.

And anyway I had much more important things on my mind

than fussing over something that hadn't even happened yet.

- You wanna watch yourself you know people who read books

while they walk fall flat on their faces.

- Do you have statistical proof to back that up?

- As a matter of fact I do.

Globally over people who read while they walk

either got hit by cars or fell in rivers and drowned.

- Bull.

- Don't say I didn't warn you.

- No, thank you for being concerned for my well fare.

- Actually it was about books that I wanted to see you.

- Oh?

- Well maths books to be precise.

- What about them?

- Well I thought you know know how

you're so good at maths and I'm so..

- Mathematically challenged.

- Yeah maybe I could learn from a bit of

personalized coaching.

- And what would I get in return?

- Oh, how about the pleasure of my fantastic company?

- And?

- What, that isn't enough?

- And?

- Oh, okay okay.

It's the weekend so I thought tomorrow night

we get an all expenses paid pizza of your choice

followed by a movie and then on Sunday we hit the books.

- So you mean I get the pay off before I do the job?

How do you know I'm not gonna run away

to South America on Sunday?

- Oh, that's a good question.

I suppose we'll have to make a pact.

(spits)

Promise?

(spits)

- Promise.

- Oh wow a bonus, thanks.

Oh yeah, that's a good apple.

- Mhm.

- Why aren't you coming out there's a great swell out there?

- I can't.

- I don't believe it.

You are putting ironing above surfing?

- Yeah well I have to otherwise Beckham will

make my life misery.

Besides I've got to make myself look

presentable for tomorrow night don't I?

- Well, you're not wearing that are you?

- No, as much as I'm deeply attached to it

I do have a sense of occasion.

Auntie Janice got me this for Christmas

it'll iron up good as new.

- Oh God, that is absolutely appalling.

- Uh, yeah I suppose now that you mention it

it is a bit off.

- Well no offense to Auntie Janice

but off is putting it mildly that is plain antisocial.

- Well I don't have anything else to wear.

- Well then its time you did.

Tomorrow morning after training we'll go together.

- Where?

- Shopping, and I'll be your personal stylist.

- Cool, I'm game if you are.

- Done.

- Done.

- Yes?

- Hi, um you wouldn't happen to know where

- I'm not a guide dog right?

Just use your eyes.

- Thanks for your help.

Cheers, thank you.

(rock music)

My bag.

(rock music)

Some days you're lucky and some days you're very lucky.

How do you do it Guy?

- Wanna get a juice?

- Cool.

- Hold up a minute please.

- What's the matter?

- Could you return to the shop please sir?

- What for?

- Just return to the shop sir.

It's just your friend we need to see,

stay outside the premises please.

Can you open it please?

- What you think I've knock something off?

- Open the bag please sir.

[GUY] In my whole life no ones ever called me sir.

Now this guy's done it times.

But the way he said it, it wasn't like important sir.

More like scumbag sir or loser sir.

Look I've got no idea how that got in there, honest.

- Well you can tell all that to the police huh?

- The police?

[BECKHAM] The police?

Okay Bridgette slow down I can't understand you.

Well where is he now?

[BRIDGETTE] Well he's at the police station,

they're gonna charge him.

- Uh huh, okay, look stay where you are

I'll get Carrie we'll be down in minutes.

[BRIDGETTE] Bye.

- Hey guys have you heard what's happened?

- About what?

- Guys been arrested for shoplifting.

- What?

You're kidding!

- He's at the police station

Gary and Beck have just gone down there.

- I can't believe it.

- And what did he take?

- I don't know some stuff from a surf shop or something.

- Why would Guy do something so dumb?

- Are they sure he actually did it?

- I guess so otherwise why would they

be at the police station?

- No, its so not like Guy though.

I mean he's not even obsessed with money or anything.

- Maybe it was spontaneous, he saw something he liked

and he couldn't resist it.

- No, Adam's right.

Guy might have his faults but he's no thief.

- The why would the police still have him?

They wouldn't charge him unless they were pretty sure.

- I just can't believe it.

- I don't wanna believe it.

- Well, if it is true what'll happen to him?

- A fine I guess.

- No it'll be worse than that.

- How?

- He's broken his contract.

Guy will have to leave Solar Blue.

(police sirens)

- Thank goodness you're here.

- How long have you been here?

- Hours, I've just been waiting they won't tell me anything

or even let me in or anything.

(mumbles)

[COP] We're not just talking minor shoplifting here.

These goods are worth well over bucks.

- But I didn't take them.

- Well according to the witness you did.

- There was a witness?

- Yeah, the shop got a call from someone

who saw a guy put the goods in the bag.

- And you've confirmed that with them?

- It was an anonymous call.

Well people do that from time to time.

They witness a crime and report it but they

don't wanna get involved so they don't reveal who they are.

- Because they're lying that's why!

- Is this enough to count as evidence?

Well in this case the evidence is the simple fact

that the goods were found in the bag

and Guy left the store carrying it.

Now it doesn't get much clearer than that.

- I didn't put them in there,

I don't even know how they got it there.

- So you keep telling me.

- Okay, Sergeant so what happens now?

- Well because of the seriousness of the offense

it'll have to go before a magistrate probably next Tuesday.

Now, I'm prepared to let him go home with you

provided you can guarantee his whereabouts

and ensure he turns up in court.

Can you do that for me?

- Yes, we will.

- Good, if you wanna come with me Beck,

I got some paperwork to do and then you can all go home.

- Sergeant, can I ask you something?

- Yeah sure what is it?

- This so called witness that rang, was it a girl like

[GUY] someone around my age?

- It was a female but we have no idea how old she was.

- What happened?

Are you okay?

- For someone who's about to have a criminal record

against him name yeah I'm terrific.

- The magistrate will be lenient mate,

its only your first offense.

- But its not an offense.

It can't be because I haven't done anything.

- Lets just hold the talk until we get home okay?

- Well you do believe me don't you?

I mean you do think I'm telling the truth?

- We want to believe you Guy,

but the truth is we don't know.

- Well that's just great that is.

Is that what you think?

- I want to believe you as well but..

- But?

- But its just so weird, you know,

if you didn't put the stuff in the bag then who did?

And why?

And what about the witness in the phone call?

- Yeah I suppose when you put it like that

it does look pretty bad.

- Come on, lets get out of here.

(guitar music)

- When the chips are down I guess the first thing

you wonder about is how your friends are going to react.

In my case, I didn't have long to wait.

- Mate, come have a game, it's around with Adam and I.

- No thanks, I'm just getting a drink.

- Well how about some darts then?

About time we gave Charlie a thrashing eh?

- Maybe later guys.

- Hey Guy you wanna come to the beach?

- Yeah we found some more boogie boards

stashed under the house, it'll be fun.

- Thanks guys, I'll just sit this one out.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, you guys go.

- Actually, Adam and I will be in for that.

- Yeah I haven't been for a boogie board

since primary school.

- You are on.

Come and join us if you change your mind.

- Will do.

- Five minutes I get more invites

than I've had in the past months.

- They're just trying to be nice.

- Oh come on Bridgette I can see it in their eyes.

- See what?

- The suspicion, they're all desperately trying

to act normal towards me but they can't quite do it.

They're still at doubt about whether

or not they're living with a thief.

- It's not true.

They're trying to include you to show

that they're standing by you.

Yeah, it may be a little bit awkward

but don't confuse that with suspicion that's not fair.

- Yeah.

You're right I'm sorry I guess I'm just being paranoid.

- We will stand by your Guy.

All of us.

- Look, before we go any further,

I've got to ask you a question.

You probably aren't gonna like it but,

I've got to ask you anyway.

- What?

- When I was trying on those T-shirts,

you were alone in that part of the shop right?

- Yeah, so?

- So you had the chance to take the stuff

and put it in my bag when I was in the changing rooms?

- You think that I did it?

- I don't know what I think

but I do know I need to hear your answer.

- No, I didn't do it.

- Okay, sorry I just had to ask

- I guess I should be offended

that you'd even think such a thing, but I'm not.

I'm actually kicking myself

for suggesting the whole shopping thing in the first place.

So sorry.

- Yeah, well nice guys always win in the end don't they?

And who knows maybe something

will fall out of the sky to save things.

- Here, this will cheer you up.

What do you think?

(laugh)

- Happy days.

How do things change so much so quickly?

- Ill print it out for you.

- Guy, can I see you for a second?

- Sure.

(soft guitar music)

- Look, I'm going to have to call your parents.

- Yeah, I was hoping we might be able to delay that a bit.

- As it happens, there's a message on their machine

saying they're into state for a couple of days.

- There's dads mobile.

- The number of which I happen to have mislaid,

you wouldn't have mislaid it too would you?

- Actually now that you mention it, I think I have yeah.

- Pity.

Still it gives us a couple of days up our sleeve

to hope something comes up.

- Right.

But why would you do that?

- When this gets out,

it won't just be you who's damaged Guy.

Solar Blues reputation will be trashed too

and the other kids will be guilty by association.

- I'm sorry Beck.

- Don't be, you're innocent remember.

- So what can we do?

- Well Gary's gone back to the shop

to talk to the owner and the assistant,

see if they can remember anything that might help.

- Do you think that'll do any good?

- Who knows?

But we've got to try, we can't just do nothing.

- Yesterday I never worried about anything,

today I worry about everything.

How is it that one simple thing

can turn your whole life upside down?

How can-

(flash)

- I don't believe it.

Bridgette, Bridgette where's your laptop?

- In the lounge, why?

- You've gotta set it up for me on that photo.

- Now?

- Can't you do it after dinner?

This lettuce will go limp.

- No, now.

I think I found the thief.

You can zoom in on these things can't you?

- Yeah, what do you wanna see?

- Them, bring them up closer.

A bit more.

A bit more.

There, that's her, she was in the shop.

- What're you saying that she put all

that stuff in your bag?

- Absolutely.

- How do you know she did it though?

- She hates me!

- What?

- Look at that, see the anger there?

- I'm sorry Guy but aren't you sort of

jumping to conclusions a bit?

- No, no no no she hates me all right.

I asked her where the shop assistant was

and they way she answered me was

like she wanted to punch me out.

- Why would she hate you?

- I don't know, I've never seen her before in my life

but for some reason she does.

She set me up, I know it.

Look I know this sounds crazy guys but she's the thief.

If we can find her, ill prove it.

- Where would we start?

- Well, I think I've actually seen this guy around.

Yeah in fact I have.

Him and his mates surf the North end of the beach.

- Regularly?

- Couple of times maybe.

- Okay well there's a good chance

that we could find them both.

Okay, here's what we do.

♪ Sleep in the bath ♪

[CHARLIE] Tomorrow we'll split into groups

and check out the whole area.

Bridgette, Guy, you take Blue Water,

pace every inch of it, eyeball every surfer.

♪ Satellite ♪

♪ Drift on by ♪

[CHARLIE] Adam and Cassie, you go back to the cafe,

they might be regulars in which case the

staff will know them.

- Excuse me, sorry have you seen either of these two?

♪ Like my dad would have me believe ♪

- Sorry I don't know them.

[CHARLIE] Lauren and I will go back to the shop,

maybe the girl who serves there knows her.

After that, we'll pace the cafes

and pizza joints in the main drag.

Hey, um excuse me we were wondering have you seen

or do you know the people in this photo at all?

- No.

(guitar music)

- Excuse me, have you seen this person?

♪ It's harder to see ♪

[GARY] Hey, where have you lot been?

Not like you guys to miss Sunday lunch.

- I think its what's known as a wild goose chase.

- Thanks for trying everyone.

- I'm sorry man.

- It's not your fault, it was a good plan.

At least we know she's not a local.

- Sorry to sound dumb but what wild goose

were you actually chasing?

- This one.

The girl not the guy, although

we would've settled for either.

Guy saw her in the shop he thinks she set him up.

- I know she set me up.

- You know what, you might very well be right.

- What?

You know her.

- Guy I think something just fell out of the sky.

Melissa Davies, she lives hours North of here,

tried out for Solar Blue, didn't make it.

- That's amazing, that's her!

- How on earth did you remember Beck?

There were hundreds of applicants.

- Yeah and you weren't even here for the contest.

- No but I was here days ago when this arrived.

It's a letter from a local lawyer,

her parents are suing Solar Blue

for wrongful disqualification,

damaged her reputation, trauma, you name it.

- So she was disqualified?

- Judges claimed she cheated, pulled on another

competitors leg row, intimidated a younger girl,

cutting on someone else.

- She was very upset.

Her father was furious, so they're suing,

not that they've got a leg to stand on.

- So she doesn't hate you, she hates Solar Blue.

- She would've come back to see the lawyer

and then balled up to the cafe.

She would've seen all of us celebrating

and it would've been like a red rag to a bull.

- Yeah and then she recognized you in the store.

- That explains why she was so dark to me in the shop,

but I still don't get why she targeted me.

- Revenge, pure and simple.

- She used you to get back at us.

All of us.

- So what happens now?

- Well I think another visit to the police station

is in order.

Ill go first thing tomorrow.

- And you should stay home tomorrow Guy,

police will probably need to speak to you again.

- How lucky's that?

A day off school.

You get all the breaks, man.

- Yeah.

(upbeat music)

[Beckham] I don't know, give someone a school free day

and they just sit around wasting it.

- How did it go?

- You know that call to the shop from the anonymous witness?

- Yeah.

- The police traced the call, it came from Alyssa's mobile.

- You're kidding.

That's not too smart.

- No, but she hasn't been too smart generally.

The police up the coast have confronted her with everything

and she's owned up to all of it.

She's in a lot of trouble.

- So I'm off the hook?

- Well and truly.

You'll have to go back down to the station to confirm

the details of everything that's happened

but Gary will go with you.

- Wow, thanks Beck.

- Don't mention it.

Oh, before I forget, I found your fathers mobile number.

We should probably give them a call

and tell them what's happened.

- Yeah I'll call them.

Its probably best if they hear it from me first.

- That's what I thought.

(upbeat music)

(mumbles)

[GUY] Of all the questions I asked myself during this time,

one in particular kept bugging me.

How could you hate something so much,

that you risk everything just to get revenge?

Whatever it is, I hope I never get to feel it.

- Come mate.

- All done and dusted!

- I sure hope so.

- Well I guess its back to our normal,

old, boring lives then.

- Aye, don't knock it, normal, boring, old life

has a lot going for it.

(laugh)

- You did great Guy, we're all glad you came through.

Especially me.

- Thanks.

Oh so does that mean we get to start

my private maths lesson tonight?

- After all this, you still want a maths lesson?

- Not especially, but if I get my lesson that means

I get to take you to the movies.

- Oh, this is true.

- And besides I've got this really cool new shirt to wear

chosen by my personal stylist.

- Since you put it like that I can't really refuse can I?

- No you can't.

Shall we?

- We shall.

[GUY] Okay so I have to admit it, for someone

who never worries, the last days were seriously worrying.

But like I say, everything has its upside.

In the first place, Bridgette

and I are really starting to hit it off.

And second, I can at last get rid of Aunt Janice's T-shirt.

(upbeat, energetic music)
