In today's society, we're all very quick to demand our rights.

But where do we stand on our responsibilities?

Many of us run from them, don't we?

Now, maybe you've never run from anything in your life.

Maybe you always face the music.

But I don't think so.

I think everybody runs.

Trouble is, some people don't know when to stop.

That's when things become twisted.

A quick warning from Gosford Police for all you holidaymakers.

Take it easy on the road this weekend.

It's 8.07. You're listening to 2GO Classic Gosford Radio.

Do, do, do, looking out my back door. There's a giant do-do-do, statue

wearing my heel. Look at all the happy creatures dancing along.

Dinosaur control, listening to the goings. Do, do, do, looking out my

back door.

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.

What are you doing here?

I was supposed to be picking Melanie up, but her bus is running late.

What happened to you?

Oh, it's nothing. I just hit my head. It looks worse than it is.

Are you going somewhere?

What? Your bag. I thought you might be going away.

No, no, that's not mine.

Oh, whose is it?

I don't know. I found it.

Well, we should open it up. See what's inside.

Why would we want to do that?

To see who owns it, silly.

Just don't think you should go searching through it, okay?

Okay, sure.

You should just drop it off at the station, though. Let Tom have a look at

it. It's not an invasion of privacy if the police look through it. No.

Look, it is my bag, all right?

He just said it wasn't yours.

Yeah, but now it is.

Don't worry, Mel. You can tell me.

I saw you.

I saw you and Andrew leave the party together.

So you went back to his house.

Oh, come on. You can tell me.

All right, just tell me what time you got home.

Was it last night or this morning?

I was at home asleep this morning.

Okay, I'll stop crying.

It's a good thing you weren't driving home this morning anyway.

Why?

Didn't you hear about the accident?

It was only a few streets away from your house.

Accident? Yeah, up on Bulls Road.

That crossing.

Somebody was killed.

No.

No, I hadn't heard.

Sorry, what did you say?

Could have been you.

What? Who found the body.

Well, it could have been, couldn't it?

Such an awful accident.

Yeah, but it was just an accident.

I mean, you can't expect the driver to see, not after a corner like that.

Well, no, I suppose not.

But, I mean, the guy just drove on. He didn't report it.

Yeah, well, there could have been circumstances.

Tom told me there were skidmarts.

So the driver must have stopped, then just started up and driven off.

When did you speak to Tom?

A few hours ago.

And for you.

And for you, ma'am.

Um, hey.

Some more cake, thanks.

Mallory, what's wrong with you?

You're upset about Andrew, aren't you?

You mope around complaining that you don't have a man, and then you run away.

You have to make a play for the guy. In my experience, you just... Pip, would

you just shut up about it for a minute, okay?

I'm fine.

Christmas with us.

But I know you're a busy girl.

Anyway, love you.

Hello, Mallory. It's Andrew here. Andrew Moss. I guess you woke up before I did

this morning. Anyway, look, if you want to catch up sometime, that'd be great.

So give us a ring. Bye.

You're alright.

Nobody saw you.

It was just an accident.

Everything's gonna be alright.

It wasn't your fault.

And there's been no sign of her since.

Okay, thanks very much for your time.

Gosford Wonder Station, do you copy?

Yeah, we just attended the Warratah Street job.

The neighbours saw her this morning, but there doesn't seem to be anyone home at

the moment.

Could you ask Tam from the sergeant what he wants us to do?

Over.

Okay, copy that.

See anyone?

Nah, I don't reckon she's home.

Let's go.

Shouldn't we wait around?

No. Sergeant Rowley says he'll be down later.

Gossip Police Station, how may I help you?

Hello, can I help you?

Can I have your name, please?

noon southeast airlines um i need to get on a plane okay uh well you've come to

the right place which plane would you like um i don't know uh well do you want

to go to any special place sorry i'll need an exact destination man yeah sorry

Hello.

I'm Janice Cummings. I'm the new Avon lady for your area.

Are you an oily skin type?

Sorry? An oily skin type?

I don't know.

You look oily.

That's good. It means you won't get any wrinkles.

Now, this kind of foundation would really suit you. See how it neutralizes

the blemishes and reduces the redness?

Perhaps you'd like to try one of our matching powders? I'm sorry. I'm in a

bit of a rush. What about a brochure, then?

Well, I'm sorry, Mallory. I was just trying to help.

You've been sitting here looking like... Like I don't know what. You've been

upset and irritable since I came in.

Anything else?

Yeah, can I have a glass of water?

I'm not upset.

Bullshit.

Can we just drop it?

Okay, sure.

Subject closed.

Thank you.

It's just that since you broke off your engagement with Jason, I've been worried

about you.

I know you just seem to...

Float through life, Mallory, but at some point you're going to have to stop and

smell the daisies.

That's all I'm saying.

You shouldn't be on your own.

I can look after myself.

Okay, good. Subject closed. Good.

But if you want to talk about what's upsetting you... Nothing's upsetting me!

I'm sorry, I'm a little bit on edge.

Yeah, I noticed.

So, what does Tom know about the accident?

The accident?

Oh, I don't know.

He hasn't told me much.

Although, if you ask me, it might not have been a completely bad thing.

I mean, of course, it's tragic, but in a way it has a positive effect.

There's no way those bastards down at the council are going to ignore it now.

They're going to have to do something about that crossing, like I've said all

along.

Yeah, that's true. I don't know why we voted them in.

Bunch of useless layabouts and real estate developers.

Bad luck for them. Not that I'm saying it was right, mind you. No matter how

dangerous that crossing was, the drivers still should have stopped.

I mean, it's really murder now, isn't it?

No, I'm just going to go to the bathroom.

Don't lose it now.

They don't know it.

If they knew something, then people would know.

It's not your fault.

It's gonna be okay.

Mallory?

Mallory, can I talk to you?

Is that you, Tom?

Yes.

Mallory, are you okay?

Mallory.

Yes, Tom.

I don't like having to do this in such a public place, but I think it's better if

you hear it from me.

The accident this morning at the crossing near your house, do you know

about it?

Some information has come to hand which concerns you.

It would seem...

The victim's been identified as Mrs. Agnes Fuller.

Mum?

I'm sorry.

Mum's in Perth.

I guess she wanted to surprise you.

Oh, my God.

But I told her not to use the crossing.

I warned her. I told her it was dangerous.

You come around the corner fast and you just can't stop.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

You mustn't blame yourself.

No, it was an accident.

You mustn't blame yourself.
