1
00:00:13,723 --> 00:00:15,619
Helen, morning.
Good morning.

2
00:00:15,643 --> 00:00:18,179
Five hours for one photo shoot.
Yes.

3
00:00:18,203 --> 00:00:20,779
What, is it really going to take
half a day?

4
00:00:20,803 --> 00:00:21,780
Yes.

5
00:00:21,804 --> 00:00:24,779
It says... it says
"candid shots of couple at home".

6
00:00:24,803 --> 00:00:25,819
Yes.

7
00:00:25,843 --> 00:00:27,259
So why do we need a stylist?

8
00:00:27,283 --> 00:00:29,539
Uh, it's a photo shoot.
This is nothing.

9
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:30,619
I dress up as a bon-bon

10
00:00:30,643 --> 00:00:32,699
on the News At Six Christmas card
the other year.

11
00:00:32,723 --> 00:00:34,499
Oh, where can I see those photos?

12
00:00:34,523 --> 00:00:36,419
I've got really good news.

13
00:00:36,443 --> 00:00:41,059
I have got the Caroline Gibson
story across the line.

14
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:42,179
Caroline Gibson?

15
00:00:42,203 --> 00:00:44,379
The mother who contracted HIV
through a blood transfusion

16
00:00:44,403 --> 00:00:45,859
and unknowingly gave it
to her children.

17
00:00:45,883 --> 00:00:47,659
Lindsay signed off on it?
Yes.

18
00:00:47,683 --> 00:00:49,483
And I think you should do it.

19
00:00:51,723 --> 00:00:53,139
It's your story.

20
00:00:53,163 --> 00:00:55,363
It's going to do
more for you than it is for me.

21
00:00:56,163 --> 00:01:00,539
You imagine? You on camera,
empathizing with a mother.

22
00:01:00,563 --> 00:01:02,659
Every woman watching is going
to fall in love with you,

23
00:01:02,683 --> 00:01:04,339
and they're going to call
the switchboard

24
00:01:04,363 --> 00:01:06,482
and ask for more Dale Jennings.

25
00:01:08,523 --> 00:01:09,563
OK.

26
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:11,683
Thank you.

27
00:01:22,563 --> 00:01:24,899
Noelene, could you check
some dates for me?

28
00:01:24,923 --> 00:01:25,900
Sure.

29
00:01:25,924 --> 00:01:28,099
I need to know when AIDS
first arrived in Australia

30
00:01:28,123 --> 00:01:30,419
and when the blood bank started
screening donors for HIV.

31
00:01:30,443 --> 00:01:31,683
On it.

32
00:01:36,683 --> 00:01:38,939
Jam donuts.
Aw, thanks, Noels.

33
00:01:38,963 --> 00:01:41,019
You're a champion. Oi, um...

34
00:01:41,043 --> 00:01:42,819
who's your pick for this Saturday?

35
00:01:42,843 --> 00:01:44,323
Demons or Swans?

36
00:01:45,883 --> 00:01:49,739
What? I thought you wanted a bit of
office footy chat?

37
00:01:49,763 --> 00:01:53,299
I do, but I don't want anyone
to know you're teaching me.

38
00:01:53,323 --> 00:01:54,323
Why?

39
00:01:55,283 --> 00:01:58,499
What? So I'm banned from talking
about the footy with you?

40
00:01:58,523 --> 00:02:00,259
In here, yes.

41
00:02:00,283 --> 00:02:02,939
Everyone else can,
but... not me?

42
00:02:02,963 --> 00:02:04,443
Until further notice.

43
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:08,139
We allowed to chat about
other topics?

44
00:02:08,163 --> 00:02:09,803
Do you have other topics?

45
00:02:10,883 --> 00:02:12,043
Cricket.

46
00:02:16,603 --> 00:02:18,699
It's going to be the Swans.

47
00:02:18,723 --> 00:02:20,323
I'm tipping three goals.

48
00:02:22,523 --> 00:02:25,139
Hey, Dennis, is there a crew
available?

49
00:02:25,163 --> 00:02:27,139
I'm doing the Caroline Gibson story.

50
00:02:27,163 --> 00:02:30,379
She's in Beaumaris.
Ah, mate.

51
00:02:30,403 --> 00:02:31,899
What?
Poisoned chalice.

52
00:02:31,923 --> 00:02:34,259
Lindsay signed off on it.
That's 'cause Helen wore him down.

53
00:02:34,283 --> 00:02:35,379
Lindsay hates AIDS stories.

54
00:02:35,403 --> 00:02:37,579
He's gonna want to see a cut
and he's not gonna be kind.

55
00:02:37,603 --> 00:02:38,739
I'll be right.

56
00:02:38,763 --> 00:02:40,659
Your funeral. Take Tim's crew.

57
00:02:40,683 --> 00:02:42,379
Anyone else available?

58
00:02:42,403 --> 00:02:45,403
You always go out with Tim's crew.
What, has he got BO or something?

59
00:02:47,483 --> 00:02:49,123
Whatever. Give me a second.

60
00:02:52,523 --> 00:02:53,763
I need a crew.

61
00:02:55,283 --> 00:02:57,443
What, no, not Tim's crew.
Give me another crew.

62
00:02:58,363 --> 00:03:00,363
No. Thanks.

63
00:03:04,363 --> 00:03:07,139
Well, it's higher
than I would have liked.

64
00:03:07,163 --> 00:03:09,043
You haven't been exerting yourself,
have you?

65
00:03:10,163 --> 00:03:13,419
Just a gentle walk most evenings.

66
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:14,459
How far?

67
00:03:14,483 --> 00:03:16,219
End of the road and back.

68
00:03:16,243 --> 00:03:19,019
Attempted the full block yesterday
and...

69
00:03:19,043 --> 00:03:20,859
never heard the end of it.

70
00:03:20,883 --> 00:03:22,019
Good.

71
00:03:22,043 --> 00:03:25,203
It's paramount to give your body
the time it needs, Geoff.

72
00:03:28,363 --> 00:03:32,259
Remember when they sent me
to cover Vietnam?

73
00:03:32,283 --> 00:03:34,579
Of course.
I came to you to get my jabs.

74
00:03:34,603 --> 00:03:37,139
Yes.
I could only get three at a time.

75
00:03:37,163 --> 00:03:38,339
You made me pick.

76
00:03:38,363 --> 00:03:39,939
Disease roulette.

77
00:03:39,963 --> 00:03:44,219
I gave you tetanus, cholera
and diphtheria,

78
00:03:44,243 --> 00:03:46,459
and you got typhoid.

79
00:03:46,483 --> 00:03:48,899
Yes.
Yep.

80
00:03:48,923 --> 00:03:52,259
Chucking my guts up
on a dirt road somewhere.

81
00:03:52,283 --> 00:03:54,203
Seconds later, shooting a story.

82
00:03:55,163 --> 00:03:57,379
But I soldiered on.

83
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:59,019
We all did.

84
00:03:59,043 --> 00:04:00,419
Your second Walkley.

85
00:04:00,443 --> 00:04:04,059
Yes, well, you know,
soldiering on with typhoid at 43

86
00:04:04,083 --> 00:04:05,659
is very impressive,

87
00:04:05,683 --> 00:04:09,803
but soldiering on after
a heart bypass at 60 is...

88
00:04:11,163 --> 00:04:13,243
something else entirely, Geoff.

89
00:04:17,043 --> 00:04:18,379
I'll see you out.
No.

90
00:04:18,403 --> 00:04:21,059
You stay right there. Rest.

91
00:04:21,083 --> 00:04:23,603
I'll check in on you
in a fortnight, alright?

92
00:04:30,843 --> 00:04:34,419
Realistically, when do you think
he'll be ready for work?

93
00:04:34,443 --> 00:04:35,763
Months yet.

94
00:04:36,763 --> 00:04:37,819
Months?

95
00:04:37,843 --> 00:04:41,219
Two at least, preferably three,
and even then I'd suggest part time.

96
00:04:41,243 --> 00:04:44,579
I know my husband.
He is not built to be at home.

97
00:04:44,603 --> 00:04:46,139
He gets agitated.

98
00:04:46,163 --> 00:04:48,803
Evelyn, he could die.

99
00:04:49,603 --> 00:04:51,739
The warning signs
have been there for years.

100
00:04:51,763 --> 00:04:53,059
He's ignored them.

101
00:04:53,083 --> 00:04:54,499
And if he keeps ignoring them...

102
00:04:54,523 --> 00:04:56,803
What? I'm sorry, what?

103
00:04:59,843 --> 00:05:03,602
Maybe you don't know everything
about your husband.

104
00:05:11,083 --> 00:05:12,739
OK.

105
00:05:12,763 --> 00:05:16,899
She specifically said not
to get her kids' faces on camera,

106
00:05:16,923 --> 00:05:18,219
so if they are in frame,

107
00:05:18,243 --> 00:05:20,219
make sure you explain to her
what you're filming,

108
00:05:20,243 --> 00:05:22,179
'cause she might be OK
with background shots with them.

109
00:05:22,203 --> 00:05:23,459
Got it.

110
00:05:23,483 --> 00:05:25,043
We don't touch her, right?

111
00:05:26,003 --> 00:05:28,379
No, you're not going to be
touching her.

112
00:05:28,403 --> 00:05:30,939
What about door handles and stuff?
I read you can get it from that.

113
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:31,940
Well, that's a myth.

114
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:34,499
You can only get it if some of her
blood gets physically inside you.

115
00:05:34,523 --> 00:05:36,579
Sorry. I'm not good with sickness.

116
00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:38,019
She's not sick.

117
00:05:38,043 --> 00:05:41,563
She's HIV positive, and right now
she doesn't have any symptoms.

118
00:05:43,083 --> 00:05:44,563
Are we good here?

119
00:05:45,203 --> 00:05:46,363
Yeah.

120
00:05:48,163 --> 00:05:49,163
OK?

121
00:05:50,123 --> 00:05:53,083
I was six months pregnant
with my second child.

122
00:05:54,083 --> 00:05:56,843
The hospital suggested
that I have the AIDS test.

123
00:05:57,963 --> 00:06:00,203
And when it came back positive,
I thought...

124
00:06:01,603 --> 00:06:03,523
it had to be a mistake.

125
00:06:04,563 --> 00:06:06,563
I couldn't even think
how it was possible.

126
00:06:07,923 --> 00:06:10,579
Till they asked me
if I'd had a blood transfusion.

127
00:06:10,603 --> 00:06:13,379
And you did have one,
after the birth of your son.

128
00:06:13,403 --> 00:06:14,563
That's right.

129
00:06:15,683 --> 00:06:19,803
So you went undiagnosed for...
Four years.

130
00:06:21,283 --> 00:06:23,363
And I passed it on to my children.

131
00:06:24,243 --> 00:06:27,523
If I'd known, I never
would have breastfed and, um...

132
00:06:29,203 --> 00:06:31,882
I certainly wouldn't have gotten
pregnant for the second time.

133
00:06:34,443 --> 00:06:37,499
Oh, sorry, are you sick?

134
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,603
What?
Do you have a cold?

135
00:06:41,083 --> 00:06:42,619
Just allergies.

136
00:06:42,643 --> 00:06:45,339
I'm so sorry, I just really
can't afford to get sick.

137
00:06:45,363 --> 00:06:47,059
Of course.
So sorry.

138
00:06:47,083 --> 00:06:50,803
Brian, can you lock the camera off
and go and wait in the car?

139
00:06:51,723 --> 00:06:53,683
Are you serious?
Yes.

140
00:07:02,123 --> 00:07:03,619
Sorry.
Of course.

141
00:07:03,643 --> 00:07:05,019
Thank you.

142
00:07:05,043 --> 00:07:06,843
Caroline, could you...

143
00:07:08,243 --> 00:07:10,379
Could you explain to me a bit more

144
00:07:10,403 --> 00:07:13,363
about what it's like living
with the virus day to day?

145
00:07:14,443 --> 00:07:15,643
Well...

146
00:07:16,963 --> 00:07:19,179
people treat us like lepers.

147
00:07:19,203 --> 00:07:21,899
Our dentist has stop seeing us.

148
00:07:21,923 --> 00:07:23,883
My son's been ostracised
from school.

149
00:07:25,163 --> 00:07:27,859
And the clinics
we have to go to for treatment

150
00:07:27,883 --> 00:07:30,043
are just full of homosexual men.

151
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:35,979
Are you angry that this happened?

152
00:07:36,003 --> 00:07:37,219
Of course.

153
00:07:37,243 --> 00:07:39,899
I was told that this blood
transfusion had saved my life,

154
00:07:39,923 --> 00:07:41,779
but really, it was...

155
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,123
it was a death sentence for me
and my children.

156
00:07:48,443 --> 00:07:51,379
You're gonna have to lose
30 seconds out of that.

157
00:07:51,403 --> 00:07:52,579
30 seconds.

158
00:07:52,603 --> 00:07:54,419
It is dire.
It's wrist-slashing stuff.

159
00:07:54,443 --> 00:07:56,419
It's moving, sure,
but isn't that the point?

160
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:58,259
The point, Dale,
is not to drop viewers.

161
00:07:58,283 --> 00:08:01,259
Every time we put one of
these bloody AIDS stories on,

162
00:08:01,283 --> 00:08:02,739
we drop 100k - every time.

163
00:08:02,763 --> 00:08:05,019
I'm worried if we cut that much,
we'll lose the impact.

164
00:08:05,043 --> 00:08:06,859
We left out the best bit.
No, we didn't.

165
00:08:06,883 --> 00:08:07,899
What's that?

166
00:08:07,923 --> 00:08:10,499
When she says they poisoned
the blood bank. The gays.

167
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:12,539
It's unsubstantiated.
She was upset...

168
00:08:12,563 --> 00:08:13,540
Let's see it.

169
00:08:13,564 --> 00:08:14,779
Mate, you've just woken me up.

170
00:08:14,803 --> 00:08:16,699
Poofter poisoning the blood bank.
That is gold.

171
00:08:16,723 --> 00:08:18,779
The whole focus is the family impact.
Here.

172
00:08:18,803 --> 00:08:21,019
"If it takes threatening
and perhaps donating blood

173
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:24,459
"to get us the attention we need,
that may be what we have to do."

174
00:08:24,483 --> 00:08:26,619
That's a quote
from a US gay activist.

175
00:08:26,643 --> 00:08:29,043
I'll see if I can get another
source, but it looks good.

176
00:08:30,363 --> 00:08:31,683
That's your story.

177
00:08:33,923 --> 00:08:36,499
OK, if we put the quote in,
can we keep the 30 seconds?

178
00:08:36,523 --> 00:08:38,339
Oh, you're learning.

179
00:08:38,363 --> 00:08:39,603
Yes, we can.

180
00:08:44,203 --> 00:08:45,619
Great.

181
00:08:45,643 --> 00:08:49,219
In 1983, Robert Schwab,
a US gay activist

182
00:08:49,243 --> 00:08:52,659
frustrated by the lack of funding
for AIDS, told his followers,

183
00:08:52,683 --> 00:08:55,299
"If it takes threatening
and perhaps donating blood

184
00:08:55,323 --> 00:08:59,499
"to get us the attention we need,
that may be what we have to do."

185
00:08:59,523 --> 00:09:01,859
Some gays thought that AIDS
would only get attention

186
00:09:01,883 --> 00:09:03,979
if straight people had it too.

187
00:09:04,003 --> 00:09:05,243
That's what I've heard.

188
00:09:06,243 --> 00:09:07,819
And now they do.

189
00:09:07,843 --> 00:09:09,699
Are you angry that this happened?

190
00:09:09,723 --> 00:09:11,259
Of course.

191
00:09:11,283 --> 00:09:14,139
I was told that this blood
transfusion had saved my life,

192
00:09:14,163 --> 00:09:15,379
but really, it was...

193
00:09:15,403 --> 00:09:16,419
On my hand.

194
00:09:16,443 --> 00:09:19,419
it was a death sentence
for me and my children.

195
00:09:19,443 --> 00:09:22,379
This is Dale Jennings, News At Six.

196
00:09:22,403 --> 00:09:25,939
To the Philippines now where deposed
President Ferdinand Marcos

197
00:09:25,963 --> 00:09:28,723
and his wife Imelda
remain under siege.

198
00:09:36,323 --> 00:09:37,859
You first hatchet job.

199
00:09:37,883 --> 00:09:40,339
Congrats. It's quite a milestone.

200
00:09:40,363 --> 00:09:41,340
Sorry?

201
00:09:41,364 --> 00:09:42,459
You don't actually believe

202
00:09:42,483 --> 00:09:44,099
that there's people
deliberately out there

203
00:09:44,123 --> 00:09:45,579
poisoning the blood banks, do you?

204
00:09:45,603 --> 00:09:47,899
I don't always get a final say
about what goes into the edit.

205
00:09:47,923 --> 00:09:49,603
Well, you do get a say, though,
don't you?

206
00:09:51,363 --> 00:09:53,819
I know
it's a sensitive issue for you.

207
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:56,163
Nah. It's just shit journalism.

208
00:10:02,203 --> 00:10:04,123
Oh, hell of a story, mate.

209
00:10:05,123 --> 00:10:07,363
Brave.
Thanks.

210
00:10:08,603 --> 00:10:09,963
Just hope you washed your hands.

211
00:10:16,523 --> 00:10:18,162
Yep.

212
00:10:20,843 --> 00:10:22,723
Night.
See ya, mate.

213
00:10:34,683 --> 00:10:36,979
You sure that she...
she said it on the record?

214
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:38,443
Of course.
OK.

215
00:10:39,643 --> 00:10:42,419
Look, I admit that bit was bad,
but it was definitely on the record.

216
00:10:42,443 --> 00:10:44,163
OK, OK.

217
00:10:47,363 --> 00:10:48,963
You were still really great.

218
00:10:50,323 --> 00:10:51,563
But?

219
00:10:52,403 --> 00:10:53,523
No buts.

220
00:10:55,323 --> 00:10:57,299
I can tell you've got
more thoughts.

221
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,659
I don't.

222
00:10:58,683 --> 00:11:01,162
You have a version in your head
that you think's better.

223
00:11:03,683 --> 00:11:04,803
Just tell me.

224
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:10,019
I probably would have asked more
about the marriage...

225
00:11:10,043 --> 00:11:11,419
I knew it!
'Cause I just...

226
00:11:11,443 --> 00:11:13,139
I just... That's the only thing.

227
00:11:13,163 --> 00:11:15,019
I knew it.
That was the only thing.

228
00:11:15,043 --> 00:11:17,563
No! It was good! It was good.

229
00:11:20,243 --> 00:11:23,499
Maybe laughing now.
Just laughing.

230
00:11:23,523 --> 00:11:24,923
One more time.

231
00:11:28,403 --> 00:11:29,899
Amazing.

232
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:32,259
That was so much better.
You look beautiful.

233
00:11:32,283 --> 00:11:34,299
Just your standard
Thursday morning outfit.

234
00:11:34,323 --> 00:11:36,819
Well, we decided that
it's cocktail hour, so.

235
00:11:36,843 --> 00:11:38,619
We have?
Yes.

236
00:11:38,643 --> 00:11:40,459
Mr Jennings, if you just
want to stand beside her,

237
00:11:40,483 --> 00:11:42,379
and maybe put your hand
on her shoulder?

238
00:11:42,403 --> 00:11:43,419
Sweet.

239
00:11:43,443 --> 00:11:45,859
Um, isn't the bulletin
at cocktail hour, though?

240
00:11:45,883 --> 00:11:48,259
Dale, you don't have to fact check
the photoshoot.

241
00:11:48,283 --> 00:11:50,219
OK, just loosening up the shoulders.

242
00:11:50,243 --> 00:11:51,979
And if you just want to
pick up the martini glass,

243
00:11:52,003 --> 00:11:53,443
maybe like you're offering
a toast?

244
00:11:54,443 --> 00:11:55,723
Cheers.

245
00:11:57,603 --> 00:11:59,219
Is that real gin?

246
00:11:59,243 --> 00:12:00,939
Maybe laughing now.

247
00:12:00,963 --> 00:12:03,779
Laughing. Just laughing.

248
00:12:03,803 --> 00:12:07,803
Couple in love,
enjoying each other's company.

249
00:12:10,243 --> 00:12:12,139
Mate, you look like
you've been kicked in the nuts.

250
00:12:12,163 --> 00:12:14,339
OK. What's wrong? What is wrong?

251
00:12:14,363 --> 00:12:16,299
It just feels
a bit artificial.

252
00:12:16,323 --> 00:12:17,659
Yeah, but that's the magic of it.

253
00:12:17,683 --> 00:12:19,899
It's not us presenting
who we really are.

254
00:12:19,923 --> 00:12:23,179
It's more what people
might imagine us to be.

255
00:12:23,203 --> 00:12:24,419
Just relax.

256
00:12:24,443 --> 00:12:26,403
It's just supposed
to be romantic and fun.

257
00:12:27,763 --> 00:12:28,779
OK.

258
00:12:28,803 --> 00:12:31,379
No tension.

259
00:12:31,403 --> 00:12:33,402
One, two, three, looking.

260
00:12:38,803 --> 00:12:40,203
One more time.

261
00:13:00,523 --> 00:13:03,339
No more lies
while gay men die.

262
00:13:03,363 --> 00:13:06,179
No more lies while gay men die.

263
00:13:06,203 --> 00:13:07,859
No more lies while gay men die.

264
00:13:07,883 --> 00:13:09,219
What is this?

265
00:13:09,243 --> 00:13:11,419
No more lies while gay men die.
Um...

266
00:13:11,443 --> 00:13:13,339
Should we go to the staff entrance?

267
00:13:13,363 --> 00:13:14,859
Uh... no.

268
00:13:14,883 --> 00:13:16,419
I think we'll be OK.

269
00:13:16,443 --> 00:13:18,139
It's not Caroline Gibson, is it?

270
00:13:18,163 --> 00:13:23,139
No more lies while gay men die.
No more lies while gay men die.

271
00:13:23,163 --> 00:13:25,939
No more lies while gay men die.

272
00:13:25,963 --> 00:13:30,419
No more lies while gay men die.
No more lies while gay men die.

273
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:31,979
You're all liars, News At Six.

274
00:13:32,003 --> 00:13:33,299
Do a bit of research.

275
00:13:33,323 --> 00:13:34,522
Dale!

276
00:13:36,723 --> 00:13:38,842
It's Adam. Adam Lyndell.

277
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:49,259
Did you... did you know that guy?

278
00:13:49,283 --> 00:13:51,259
He's just a research contact.

279
00:13:51,283 --> 00:13:52,819
You seen it?
No.

280
00:13:52,843 --> 00:13:54,683
The protesters?
The article.

281
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:59,419
It's a whole op-ed about the quote
I found. The Robert Schwab one.

282
00:13:59,443 --> 00:14:02,659
They say it was made up
for some sort of anti-gay pamphlet.

283
00:14:02,683 --> 00:14:04,059
I am so sorry.

284
00:14:04,083 --> 00:14:05,979
"Throughout the coverage
of this epidemic,

285
00:14:06,003 --> 00:14:08,019
"we've heard from doctors,
politicians, priests,

286
00:14:08,043 --> 00:14:10,459
"but the primary victims,
gay men, have been at best excluded

287
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:11,859
"and at worst demonized."

288
00:14:11,883 --> 00:14:13,539
I mean, he's not wrong.

289
00:14:13,563 --> 00:14:14,683
Lindsay knows?

290
00:14:15,883 --> 00:14:19,059
This is what happens
when you let game show girls

291
00:14:19,083 --> 00:14:21,899
and footy players front the news.

292
00:14:21,923 --> 00:14:23,539
Geoff, that's got nothing
to do with that.

293
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:25,899
That quote is solid.
And Noelene found it, so it's legit.

294
00:14:25,923 --> 00:14:26,900
It's ridgy-didge, OK?

295
00:14:26,924 --> 00:14:30,619
Serious reporters, they develop an
instinct for these sorts of things.

296
00:14:30,643 --> 00:14:33,299
You know if something doesn't
pass the sniff test.

297
00:14:33,323 --> 00:14:36,019
Just calm down, Geoff.
The Whitlam dismissal, '75.

298
00:14:36,043 --> 00:14:38,059
You remember. There was bedlam.

299
00:14:38,083 --> 00:14:40,579
There was rumours
flying around everywhere.

300
00:14:40,603 --> 00:14:44,659
And some donkey in Canberra got wind
that the Queen was in on it.

301
00:14:44,683 --> 00:14:46,219
You wanted to run it as fact.

302
00:14:46,243 --> 00:14:49,339
My gut told me
it didn't hold water,

303
00:14:49,363 --> 00:14:50,739
so we held off.

304
00:14:50,763 --> 00:14:54,539
And guess what? I saved us
the humiliation of an apology!

305
00:14:54,563 --> 00:14:57,299
Helen and Rob
could never make that call!

306
00:14:57,323 --> 00:14:59,579
Listen, mate, this is a completely
different situation, alright?

307
00:14:59,603 --> 00:15:01,139
Now, these people outside,

308
00:15:01,163 --> 00:15:03,419
they're just a pack of pillow biters
who are whipping up trouble.

309
00:15:03,443 --> 00:15:05,259
Now, this quote is legit.

310
00:15:05,283 --> 00:15:06,499
It's solid.

311
00:15:06,523 --> 00:15:08,683
We can back it up and
we're gonna do that tonight.

312
00:15:16,603 --> 00:15:17,723
Noelene!

313
00:15:20,803 --> 00:15:24,539
Noelene! That quote better be
fucking watertight, you got that?

314
00:15:24,563 --> 00:15:26,699
I'm getting more articles
from the Herald Library.

315
00:15:26,723 --> 00:15:29,219
I'm also checking with
the blood bank and the AIDS Council.

316
00:15:29,243 --> 00:15:31,539
I'm waiting for them to call back.
Well, go call them now, will you?

317
00:15:31,563 --> 00:15:34,499
We are not issuing an apology on
this unless we absolutely have to.

318
00:15:34,523 --> 00:15:35,979
OK? Now, what's the follow up?

319
00:15:36,003 --> 00:15:38,139
Well, I think that we should
interview the op-ed writer.

320
00:15:38,163 --> 00:15:40,019
That's insane.
Why would we back away?

321
00:15:40,043 --> 00:15:41,059
It's clearly hit a nerve.

322
00:15:41,083 --> 00:15:43,059
I'm just telling you
it's a recipe for disaster.

323
00:15:43,083 --> 00:15:44,979
I think that Dale should
interview the op-ed writer,

324
00:15:45,003 --> 00:15:46,339
then follow up with the blood bank

325
00:15:46,363 --> 00:15:48,322
and I'll interview
an AIDS sufferer...

326
00:15:50,163 --> 00:15:53,219
Yeah, I know, Dennis,
but we went up last night

327
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:55,419
and that's never happened before
on an AIDS story,

328
00:15:55,443 --> 00:15:56,642
so we'll keep going.

329
00:15:59,643 --> 00:16:02,099
Caroline actually mentioned that
there was problems in some schools,

330
00:16:02,123 --> 00:16:03,539
so that could be another story.

331
00:16:03,563 --> 00:16:05,379
Dale, you could maybe
interview a parent.

332
00:16:05,403 --> 00:16:06,659
I'm prepping for Anzac Day.

333
00:16:06,683 --> 00:16:08,259
Oh, Jesus, Dale.

334
00:16:08,283 --> 00:16:10,283
They're throwing eggs out there now.
What?

335
00:16:11,363 --> 00:16:12,699
Egged my car.

336
00:16:12,723 --> 00:16:14,283
That happen to anyone else?

337
00:16:15,363 --> 00:16:16,923
Do those protesters have AIDS?

338
00:16:18,723 --> 00:16:20,659
I wonder if there was AIDS
in what they threw.

339
00:16:20,683 --> 00:16:23,323
You think they put HIV positive
blood into an egg?

340
00:16:24,563 --> 00:16:25,683
Yes.

341
00:16:26,883 --> 00:16:27,963
Jesus. Come on, everybody.

342
00:16:31,483 --> 00:16:33,819
Don't back away from this.
This is your story.

343
00:16:33,843 --> 00:16:36,099
Yeah, and it's a disaster.
No, it's not.

344
00:16:36,123 --> 00:16:38,979
We'll get it back on track.
Have you spoken to Caroline?

345
00:16:39,003 --> 00:16:41,099
You should, because all the other
networks will be calling her

346
00:16:41,123 --> 00:16:42,659
and it will be very overwhelming.

347
00:16:42,683 --> 00:16:44,099
And this... this happens.

348
00:16:44,123 --> 00:16:45,779
Sometimes things blow up.

349
00:16:45,803 --> 00:16:47,163
It's gonna be OK.

350
00:17:11,883 --> 00:17:14,299
Do you have a spokesperson
or an organiser?

351
00:17:14,323 --> 00:17:16,939
We don't have an organiser.
We're a collective.

352
00:17:16,963 --> 00:17:19,019
OK, I understand why you're upset.

353
00:17:19,043 --> 00:17:21,219
That's why I'd like to show
a different perspective.

354
00:17:21,243 --> 00:17:23,859
I'm very interested in talking
to an AIDS sufferer,

355
00:17:23,883 --> 00:17:25,179
someone who's gay,

356
00:17:25,203 --> 00:17:28,499
and not just about the blood bank
controversy, but about their life.

357
00:17:28,523 --> 00:17:32,499
I'm genuinely interested in putting
the other perspective on air.

358
00:17:32,523 --> 00:17:34,059
My lover has AIDS.

359
00:17:34,083 --> 00:17:35,459
OK.

360
00:17:35,483 --> 00:17:38,019
Let me get your name
and I'll set something up.

361
00:17:38,043 --> 00:17:39,163
Adam.

362
00:17:48,323 --> 00:17:49,483
What's wrong?

363
00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:51,683
I confirmed it.

364
00:17:52,843 --> 00:17:54,163
The article was right.

365
00:17:55,403 --> 00:17:58,979
A religious fundamentalist group
in the US fabricated the quote

366
00:17:59,003 --> 00:18:01,243
for these anti-gay pamphlets.

367
00:18:02,283 --> 00:18:04,163
It spread at the start of '84.

368
00:18:05,403 --> 00:18:07,923
I found all these subsequent
sources debunking it.

369
00:18:08,843 --> 00:18:10,539
Dale...

370
00:18:10,563 --> 00:18:12,123
This is really bad.
It's OK.

371
00:18:15,123 --> 00:18:18,563
I was the reporter.
Lindsay signed off on it.

372
00:18:21,123 --> 00:18:22,699
Have you told Dennis?

373
00:18:22,723 --> 00:18:24,003
No.

374
00:18:33,763 --> 00:18:36,083
Noelene confirmed
the quote was false.

375
00:18:46,523 --> 00:18:48,843
We've confirmed that
the quote was false.

376
00:18:54,723 --> 00:18:55,923
Fuck!

377
00:19:01,003 --> 00:19:03,323
Right. We are doing an apology.

378
00:19:04,723 --> 00:19:06,803
And you're coming to see me
after the bulletin.

379
00:19:15,643 --> 00:19:22,899
27, 33 and the supplementary
number is 26.

380
00:19:22,923 --> 00:19:26,139
And don't forget that tomorrow
is a public holiday for Anzac Day.

381
00:19:26,163 --> 00:19:27,619
It certainly is, Rob.

382
00:19:27,643 --> 00:19:31,539
So all dividends will be announced
after the long weekend.

383
00:19:31,563 --> 00:19:34,179
But before we leave you
this evening, a clarification.

384
00:19:34,203 --> 00:19:36,659
Last night, the News At Six
aired a story

385
00:19:36,683 --> 00:19:39,739
about a woman who contracted HIV
from the blood bank.

386
00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:43,939
A statement attributed to
the late US activist Robert Schwab

387
00:19:43,963 --> 00:19:46,179
was incorrect.

388
00:19:46,203 --> 00:19:49,123
We apologise unreservedly.

389
00:19:50,483 --> 00:19:52,619
We'll leave you tonight...
First apology in years.

390
00:19:52,643 --> 00:19:56,619
musicians from China, touring
Australia for a series of concerts.

391
00:19:56,643 --> 00:19:59,299
I'm Helen Norville.
And I'm Rob Rickards.

392
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:01,299
Good night.
Good night.

393
00:20:01,323 --> 00:20:04,059
I suppose that's the best
they can muster.

394
00:20:04,083 --> 00:20:06,179
Well, I'm changing the channel.

395
00:20:06,203 --> 00:20:10,819
Sale Of The Century
or there's a doco on Japan.

396
00:20:10,843 --> 00:20:15,059
You know, the thing that kills me
is there is a great story there.

397
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:16,819
You'd never know it
from that bulletin,

398
00:20:16,843 --> 00:20:19,299
but they have stumbled on to
one of the most critical stories

399
00:20:19,323 --> 00:20:20,979
of our time.

400
00:20:21,003 --> 00:20:23,059
And the gays have put society
at risk.

401
00:20:23,083 --> 00:20:24,619
Of course they have.

402
00:20:24,643 --> 00:20:27,099
And no news outlet will touch it.

403
00:20:27,123 --> 00:20:28,419
Instead of exposing it,

404
00:20:28,443 --> 00:20:31,699
they've muddied the waters with...
with conspiracy theories,

405
00:20:31,723 --> 00:20:32,939
misquotes...

406
00:20:32,963 --> 00:20:35,339
But it reflects well on you,
doesn't it?

407
00:20:35,363 --> 00:20:38,419
A month without you and look
where they've ended up!

408
00:20:38,443 --> 00:20:40,699
Apologising, grovelling.

409
00:20:40,723 --> 00:20:44,963
Best thing you can do is sit back
and let them fall apart.

410
00:20:54,923 --> 00:20:57,043
Noelene. A word.

411
00:21:09,123 --> 00:21:11,723
Ah, close the door after yourself,
will you, please?

412
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:18,443
Well.

413
00:21:19,923 --> 00:21:21,859
It's a sad old shitshow, isn't it?

414
00:21:21,883 --> 00:21:26,259
Lindsay, I am so, so sorry.

415
00:21:26,283 --> 00:21:27,899
The quote came up a couple of times,

416
00:21:27,923 --> 00:21:30,779
so I didn't think I needed to
cross check it further.

417
00:21:30,803 --> 00:21:33,779
I promise this will never
happen again.

418
00:21:33,803 --> 00:21:35,043
Look...

419
00:21:36,483 --> 00:21:37,883
easy mistake to make.

420
00:21:40,403 --> 00:21:42,339
Yes, still, I wanted to stress...

421
00:21:42,363 --> 00:21:46,419
But it was your mistake
and we had to apologise.

422
00:21:46,443 --> 00:21:48,003
So, I'm sorry.

423
00:21:51,203 --> 00:21:52,283
You gotta go.

424
00:21:56,443 --> 00:21:59,523
Lots of typing work out there.
You'll be fine.

425
00:22:03,723 --> 00:22:05,459
Thank you for the opportunity.

426
00:22:05,483 --> 00:22:06,523
Not at all.

427
00:22:18,123 --> 00:22:19,419
Mate, not now.

428
00:22:19,443 --> 00:22:21,059
Noelene was just doing
what she was asked.

429
00:22:21,083 --> 00:22:22,899
Mate...
Can't you just put her on suspension?

430
00:22:22,923 --> 00:22:24,459
You wanted to run the quote.
I was the...

431
00:22:24,483 --> 00:22:26,699
Wake up to yourself, ya drip!

432
00:22:26,723 --> 00:22:29,363
If you weren't Mr Helen Norville,
you'd be out on your arse too.

433
00:22:30,803 --> 00:22:33,923
So I'd tread very carefully,
young Dale.

434
00:22:36,163 --> 00:22:37,363
Thin ice.

435
00:22:46,003 --> 00:22:49,099
Noelene, I'm gonna talk to Helen.
It's OK.

436
00:22:49,123 --> 00:22:52,419
No, it's not. She won't stand for it
and neither will Rob.

437
00:22:52,443 --> 00:22:56,779
Thank you, but I don't want
to cause any more trouble.

438
00:22:56,803 --> 00:22:58,339
I'll... I'll... I'll do a ring around.

439
00:22:58,363 --> 00:23:00,139
There might be something going
at another network.

440
00:23:00,163 --> 00:23:01,243
Thank you.

441
00:24:17,803 --> 00:24:19,219
Hello?

442
00:24:19,243 --> 00:24:21,139
Lindsay sacked Noelene.

443
00:24:21,163 --> 00:24:22,140
What?

444
00:24:22,164 --> 00:24:23,699
Yeah, right after the bulletin.

445
00:24:23,723 --> 00:24:25,979
He wouldn't listen to me,
so can you call him?

446
00:24:26,003 --> 00:24:28,499
Are you still at work?
No, I'm at home.

447
00:24:28,523 --> 00:24:30,739
Actually, do you know what?
Call Rob.

448
00:24:30,763 --> 00:24:32,683
Lindsay might pay more attention
to him.

449
00:24:33,963 --> 00:24:36,939
Um, Dale, I'm making dinner for us.

450
00:24:36,963 --> 00:24:39,379
I've got to be up before dawn.
I've got a 15-hour day.

451
00:24:39,403 --> 00:24:40,403
I'm sorry.

452
00:24:41,443 --> 00:24:43,819
Is there something wrong?
Yes.

453
00:24:43,843 --> 00:24:45,939
I fucked up with my reporting
and my colleague lost her job.

454
00:24:45,963 --> 00:24:47,099
Isn't that enough?

455
00:24:47,123 --> 00:24:49,579
I just think maybe if you come
over here, we can talk about...

456
00:24:49,603 --> 00:24:51,539
No. No, Helen, I can't.

457
00:24:51,563 --> 00:24:53,659
I've gotta be up at three.

458
00:24:53,683 --> 00:24:55,259
Sorry.

459
00:24:55,283 --> 00:24:56,563
Goodnight.

460
00:24:57,563 --> 00:24:58,642
Night.

461
00:25:58,003 --> 00:25:59,179
Hi.
Hi, Adam.

462
00:25:59,203 --> 00:26:00,339
Come in.

463
00:26:00,363 --> 00:26:01,899
Thank you so much
for agreeing to this.

464
00:26:01,923 --> 00:26:03,419
Oh, we're lucky.

465
00:26:03,443 --> 00:26:05,523
It's a good day for Russell.
Relatively.

466
00:26:06,403 --> 00:26:09,539
Russ, this is Helen Norville.

467
00:26:09,563 --> 00:26:12,659
Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

468
00:26:12,683 --> 00:26:15,259
I hear you might be putting me
on the telly.

469
00:26:15,283 --> 00:26:17,482
Uh, let's just see how we go, eh?

470
00:26:19,643 --> 00:26:21,699
I thought you were gonna
make me a star.

471
00:26:21,723 --> 00:26:24,499
Well.
You think it's too late for me.

472
00:26:24,523 --> 00:26:25,523
Never.

473
00:26:26,763 --> 00:26:29,419
Is the other reporter coming?
The Bendigo boy?

474
00:26:29,443 --> 00:26:32,779
No. You can't have
too many visitors.

475
00:26:32,803 --> 00:26:34,779
I forgot that you'd had contact
with Dale.

476
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:36,539
Was that for this issue?

477
00:26:36,563 --> 00:26:37,899
No.

478
00:26:37,923 --> 00:26:39,603
Actually, I went to
high school with Dale.

479
00:26:40,843 --> 00:26:42,403
In Bendigo, hence the...

480
00:26:43,923 --> 00:26:46,179
Were you friends at school?

481
00:26:46,203 --> 00:26:48,123
Uh, I don't know.

482
00:26:49,123 --> 00:26:52,283
He's not exactly
the most popular alumnus.

483
00:26:54,203 --> 00:26:56,563
Um, cuppa? Or water?

484
00:26:58,643 --> 00:27:00,083
Glass of water, please.

485
00:27:08,403 --> 00:27:10,099
How did you two meet?

486
00:27:10,123 --> 00:27:13,579
Oh, well, we were both working
at the university.

487
00:27:13,603 --> 00:27:15,099
When was it, darling?

488
00:27:15,123 --> 00:27:17,539
'82?
Yes, it was.

489
00:27:17,563 --> 00:27:18,723
In '82.

490
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:22,939
And we locked eyes
at a faculty drinks.

491
00:27:22,963 --> 00:27:26,259
But at the time, Adam wasn't out,

492
00:27:26,283 --> 00:27:30,019
so the whole thing was
very secretive.

493
00:27:30,043 --> 00:27:33,122
Almost like we were having
some thrilling affair.

494
00:27:35,643 --> 00:27:36,643
Thank you.

495
00:27:38,403 --> 00:27:41,299
So may I... may I ask about
the diagnosis?

496
00:27:41,323 --> 00:27:42,643
That's what you're here for.

497
00:27:43,843 --> 00:27:45,619
How did that happen?

498
00:27:45,643 --> 00:27:48,099
I'd had a bad run of colds,

499
00:27:48,123 --> 00:27:50,523
but I'd been putting off
seeing a doctor.

500
00:27:51,603 --> 00:27:52,763
I think...

501
00:27:53,683 --> 00:27:54,883
part of me knew.

502
00:27:57,243 --> 00:28:02,163
But then I bit the bullet and three
weeks later, the results came back.

503
00:28:04,003 --> 00:28:05,779
What was it like for you, Adam?

504
00:28:05,803 --> 00:28:07,202
Getting tested?

505
00:28:08,723 --> 00:28:09,923
Awful.

506
00:28:11,763 --> 00:28:13,883
Waiting for the results was agony.

507
00:28:15,163 --> 00:28:17,123
And I started bargaining
with myself.

508
00:28:18,403 --> 00:28:20,579
I said, "If the test results
come back negative,

509
00:28:20,603 --> 00:28:22,859
"then I'll never sleep
with another man again."

510
00:28:22,883 --> 00:28:25,003
And if they came back positive?

511
00:28:29,523 --> 00:28:30,963
I'd end it.

512
00:28:32,003 --> 00:28:33,283
With Russ?

513
00:28:37,803 --> 00:28:38,803
My life.

514
00:28:44,243 --> 00:28:47,179
So, I really want to put
your story on camera.

515
00:28:47,203 --> 00:28:48,739
Now, if you're open to it.

516
00:28:48,763 --> 00:28:51,419
I think I could get a crew here,
maybe even today.

517
00:28:51,443 --> 00:28:52,659
Ah, I don't know.

518
00:28:52,683 --> 00:28:55,123
It could be, a small crew.
Only if it's live.

519
00:28:56,843 --> 00:28:58,619
I'd do it...

520
00:28:58,643 --> 00:29:00,219
if it's live to air.

521
00:29:00,243 --> 00:29:01,779
Russ...
No.

522
00:29:01,803 --> 00:29:05,539
I don't want to be chopped up
and spliced between Fred Nile...

523
00:29:05,563 --> 00:29:07,979
We wouldn't water you down.
We need to talk about this.

524
00:29:08,003 --> 00:29:10,083
I know how it goes.

525
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:13,499
You might have
the best of intentions,

526
00:29:13,523 --> 00:29:14,859
but your boss has done...

527
00:29:14,883 --> 00:29:16,859
I can look at getting
a live cross out here,

528
00:29:16,883 --> 00:29:18,539
but... it's a bit...

529
00:29:18,563 --> 00:29:22,499
I want to be in the studio
and I want to sit at that desk.

530
00:29:22,523 --> 00:29:23,539
Russ.

531
00:29:23,563 --> 00:29:25,899
Do you have those makeup mirrors

532
00:29:25,923 --> 00:29:27,843
with the light bulbs
all around them?

533
00:29:29,323 --> 00:29:31,019
Yes, we do.

534
00:29:31,043 --> 00:29:32,123
Well, then.

535
00:29:33,803 --> 00:29:35,123
Make me a star.

536
00:29:38,163 --> 00:29:41,019
Hey. They charged my car.

537
00:29:41,043 --> 00:29:42,859
Spat on it.
Who? The protesters?

538
00:29:42,883 --> 00:29:46,259
Yeah, they yelled so hard, bits of
spit landed on the windscreen.

539
00:29:46,283 --> 00:29:48,099
I just... I don't understand, mate.

540
00:29:48,123 --> 00:29:50,219
We apologised.
Why are they still even here?

541
00:29:50,243 --> 00:29:51,939
Mate, don't worry about it.

542
00:29:51,963 --> 00:29:54,419
Well, can't we get the coppers
to move 'em on or something?

543
00:29:54,443 --> 00:29:56,299
Yeah, well, you're going to speak
to two of them tonight,

544
00:29:56,323 --> 00:29:58,059
so hopefully
that'll shut the door on it.

545
00:29:58,083 --> 00:29:59,299
What?

546
00:29:59,323 --> 00:30:00,923
Helen chased down an interview.

547
00:30:02,643 --> 00:30:05,499
An AIDS patient on the desk.

548
00:30:05,523 --> 00:30:06,643
Yes.

549
00:30:07,843 --> 00:30:09,459
Well, Helen could do it alone,
couldn't she?

550
00:30:09,483 --> 00:30:11,179
Well, how do you think
that's going to work, Rob?

551
00:30:11,203 --> 00:30:13,379
We're gonna cut to the desk
and you're just not there.

552
00:30:13,403 --> 00:30:14,859
Yeah.

553
00:30:14,883 --> 00:30:16,259
Mate, it's just three minutes.

554
00:30:16,283 --> 00:30:18,123
We'll write down the questions.
You'll be fine.

555
00:30:19,843 --> 00:30:21,339
Where's Noelene?

556
00:30:21,363 --> 00:30:22,963
It was, uh, Lindsay's call, not mine.

557
00:30:25,083 --> 00:30:26,659
What do you mean?

558
00:30:26,683 --> 00:30:29,339
She got sacked late,
over the misquotes.

559
00:30:29,363 --> 00:30:31,259
After last night's bulletin.

560
00:30:31,283 --> 00:30:32,803
As I said, wasn't my call.

561
00:30:33,963 --> 00:30:35,179
Rob, just don't...

562
00:30:35,203 --> 00:30:37,499
Did you sack Noelene?
Sorry?

563
00:30:37,523 --> 00:30:40,659
This place is bullshit.
You can't sack Noelene.

564
00:30:40,683 --> 00:30:42,859
She does 10 times as much
work as anyone else here.

565
00:30:42,883 --> 00:30:45,019
Come one, Rob.
Mate, I don't like it either.

566
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:46,419
But upstairs wanted a head to roll

567
00:30:46,443 --> 00:30:47,939
and she had
the most expendable head.

568
00:30:47,963 --> 00:30:49,939
Well, get her on the phone.
Get her back.

569
00:30:49,963 --> 00:30:51,899
Don't you come in here,
yelping orders at me.

570
00:30:51,923 --> 00:30:54,299
If you don't her back right now,
I'm happy to...

571
00:30:54,323 --> 00:30:55,939
What are you gonna do, son?
What are you gonna do?

572
00:30:55,963 --> 00:30:57,859
Well, I'll fuckin' walk
is what I'll do. I don't care.

573
00:30:57,883 --> 00:30:58,860
Yeah?
Yeah.

574
00:30:58,884 --> 00:31:00,083
It's done.

575
00:31:00,923 --> 00:31:02,499
Righto, mate.

576
00:31:02,523 --> 00:31:03,859
That's how you're gonna
treat people.

577
00:31:03,883 --> 00:31:06,539
Well!

578
00:31:06,563 --> 00:31:08,739
Very fuckin' professional, Rob.

579
00:31:08,763 --> 00:31:09,979
Chuckin' a hissy fit.
No, no.

580
00:31:10,003 --> 00:31:12,019
You find someone else
to sit on your desk.

581
00:31:12,043 --> 00:31:13,859
Oh, come on!

582
00:31:13,883 --> 00:31:14,979
Hey!

583
00:31:15,003 --> 00:31:16,339
You fancy her, don't ya?

584
00:31:16,363 --> 00:31:19,859
Son, you are scraping the bottom
of the fuckin' barrel.

585
00:31:19,883 --> 00:31:21,603
Oh, you... Righto, mate.

586
00:31:33,483 --> 00:31:34,843
You poor bastard.

587
00:31:36,963 --> 00:31:40,163
Well, piss off back to Echuca,
you sausage-roll-munching bastard.

588
00:32:00,563 --> 00:32:02,859
Need a moment?

589
00:32:02,883 --> 00:32:05,483
I need a fucking decade.

590
00:32:08,323 --> 00:32:09,763
Should I call Noelene?

591
00:32:17,083 --> 00:32:18,539
Yes.

592
00:32:18,563 --> 00:32:23,283
And you can inform her
her suspension... is over.

593
00:32:38,483 --> 00:32:39,603
Hello?

594
00:32:40,723 --> 00:32:41,883
Is Noelene there?

595
00:32:42,723 --> 00:32:44,083
Noelene Kim?

596
00:33:14,443 --> 00:33:16,043
OK, just do it.

597
00:33:19,643 --> 00:33:21,139
Rob!
Evelyn.

598
00:33:21,163 --> 00:33:25,843
Um, I'm sorry to turn up
unannounced.

599
00:33:27,043 --> 00:33:29,843
I don't suppose Geoff's free
at the minute, is he?

600
00:33:31,283 --> 00:33:33,043
Yeah. Come in.
Thanks.

601
00:33:37,483 --> 00:33:39,963
Good job, darling.
You're the eucalyptus hunter.

602
00:33:42,363 --> 00:33:44,099
Well, hey, you look pretty good,
Cap.

603
00:33:44,123 --> 00:33:45,579
Well...

604
00:33:45,603 --> 00:33:48,099
they've got me, uh, wrapped up
in cotton wool,

605
00:33:48,123 --> 00:33:49,763
but I'm getting there.

606
00:33:50,883 --> 00:33:52,123
Listen, um...

607
00:33:53,283 --> 00:33:55,219
I'm sorry for not coming around
to see you sooner.

608
00:33:55,243 --> 00:33:57,123
It's just been...
Of course. Of course.

609
00:33:57,963 --> 00:34:02,219
To be honest, I've been imagining
you sitting up there watching me

610
00:34:02,243 --> 00:34:05,739
and thinking, "Who is this joker
who's taken my job?"

611
00:34:05,763 --> 00:34:06,939
Not at all.

612
00:34:06,963 --> 00:34:08,979
Well, I want you to know
that I know...

613
00:34:09,003 --> 00:34:10,179
how shithouse I'm doing.

614
00:34:10,203 --> 00:34:11,579
It's...

615
00:34:11,603 --> 00:34:13,139
It's just...

616
00:34:13,163 --> 00:34:14,683
It's never a job I wanted.

617
00:34:15,683 --> 00:34:17,659
And I certainly never lobbied
for it.

618
00:34:17,683 --> 00:34:18,843
I know that.

619
00:34:20,043 --> 00:34:22,339
And given the circumstances,
you've done very well

620
00:34:22,363 --> 00:34:24,859
and you will continue to grow.

621
00:34:24,883 --> 00:34:25,899
No doubt.

622
00:34:25,923 --> 00:34:28,659
Actually, I think I'm done,
'cause, uh...

623
00:34:28,683 --> 00:34:30,883
yeah, I walked out today.

624
00:34:32,483 --> 00:34:33,499
What?

625
00:34:33,523 --> 00:34:35,259
Well, it's the blowout
from this AIDS story.

626
00:34:35,283 --> 00:34:37,419
There's riots outside the building.

627
00:34:37,443 --> 00:34:38,819
Noelene got the sack

628
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:40,219
and now they want me, right,

629
00:34:40,243 --> 00:34:44,259
to interview one of the protesters
with AIDS live on the desk.

630
00:34:44,283 --> 00:34:46,043
And I'm... I'm not up for it.

631
00:34:47,083 --> 00:34:49,819
You put me with a sportsman
and I can go for hours,

632
00:34:49,843 --> 00:34:51,043
but this situation, it's...

633
00:34:55,683 --> 00:34:56,723
I'm not you.

634
00:34:57,923 --> 00:34:59,123
I'll never be.

635
00:35:00,323 --> 00:35:01,739
And I know that.

636
00:35:01,763 --> 00:35:02,923
And, uh...

637
00:35:04,323 --> 00:35:05,683
I want you to know...

638
00:35:07,163 --> 00:35:08,723
that I know that.

639
00:35:18,763 --> 00:35:20,162
I appreciate that, Rob.

640
00:35:21,323 --> 00:35:23,443
It takes a very decent man
to be that honest.

641
00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:25,443
Well done.

642
00:35:27,483 --> 00:35:28,483
Evelyn?

643
00:35:29,483 --> 00:35:30,723
Lay out a suit.

644
00:35:33,563 --> 00:35:36,002
New runsheet. This is now
after the AIDS interview.

645
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:39,883
AIDS interview?

646
00:35:43,923 --> 00:35:47,243
Do you wanna have one last look at
this parade story or are you happy?

647
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:51,619
Dale?
Ah, it's fine.

648
00:35:51,643 --> 00:35:54,363
Great! Let's move on
to the dawn service.

649
00:35:56,803 --> 00:35:59,003
Adam, Russell, just this way.

650
00:36:02,843 --> 00:36:05,162
Just come through here, if you like.

651
00:36:07,643 --> 00:36:09,843
Do you need a hand?
We're fine, thanks.

652
00:36:13,123 --> 00:36:15,259
You may need everything
in that kit of yours.

653
00:36:15,283 --> 00:36:17,763
Nah, we'll have you
glowing in no time.

654
00:36:19,603 --> 00:36:21,203
Just in here?

655
00:36:23,923 --> 00:36:26,043
Oh, yes.
Yep.

656
00:36:27,043 --> 00:36:28,323
Just take a seat.

657
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:38,419
You can't get it,
by the way, just doing his make-up.

658
00:36:38,443 --> 00:36:41,059
Oh, yeah, I know that.

659
00:36:41,083 --> 00:36:44,219
Less talk, more make-up.

660
00:36:44,243 --> 00:36:45,563
Alright.

661
00:36:46,563 --> 00:36:50,139
Tonight, Australia commemorates
Anzac Day.

662
00:36:50,163 --> 00:36:52,259
From the dawn service
to the parade,

663
00:36:52,283 --> 00:36:54,659
a record number of Australians
lined the streets

664
00:36:54,683 --> 00:36:58,019
to honour those who have made
the ultimate sacrifice.

665
00:36:58,043 --> 00:37:00,339
It's about a nation,
it's about a country.

666
00:37:00,363 --> 00:37:02,579
And living with the AIDS virus.

667
00:37:02,603 --> 00:37:05,699
It's feared, it's debated,
it's misunderstood.

668
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:08,499
But for homosexual couple,
Russell and Adam,

669
00:37:08,523 --> 00:37:11,099
AIDS isn't a headline,
it's their life.

670
00:37:11,123 --> 00:37:14,619
We'll be speaking to them
later on in the program.

671
00:37:14,643 --> 00:37:17,059
And from all of us at News at 6,

672
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:20,019
a very warm welcome back
to you, Geoff.

673
00:37:20,043 --> 00:37:21,179
Thank you, Helen.

674
00:37:21,203 --> 00:37:24,299
And to all the viewers who sent
cards, flowers and well wishes...

675
00:37:24,323 --> 00:37:26,963
Blah, blah, bloody blah.
..a very, very sincere thank you.

676
00:37:30,323 --> 00:37:33,779
A huge turnout for Anzac Day marches
around the country

677
00:37:33,803 --> 00:37:35,979
has surprised even the RSL.

678
00:37:36,003 --> 00:37:37,419
Dale Jennings reports.

679
00:37:37,443 --> 00:37:39,579
Thousands of people...
And we're clear!

680
00:37:39,603 --> 00:37:42,899
Uh, if I could have my AIDS
gentlemen around, please?

681
00:37:42,923 --> 00:37:45,123
And to think about
those who made it home too.

682
00:37:46,683 --> 00:37:48,483
Just up the stairs here, gents.

683
00:37:49,523 --> 00:37:51,539
Russell, you're here,
and Adam, you're here.

684
00:37:51,563 --> 00:37:54,339
Thank you again. Hi, Russell.
Hi.

685
00:37:54,363 --> 00:37:55,859
Thank you.

686
00:37:55,883 --> 00:37:57,523
This is...
Geoff Walters. Welcome.

687
00:37:58,843 --> 00:38:01,059
I, uh, I thought
it was just with you.

688
00:38:01,083 --> 00:38:06,499
Uh... live interviews
are conducted by us both.

689
00:38:06,523 --> 00:38:07,979
This is a really special bulletin

690
00:38:08,003 --> 00:38:10,339
'cause this is Geoff's first
since returning.

691
00:38:10,363 --> 00:38:12,403
Oh, lucky us.
And we are on in 20.

692
00:38:13,723 --> 00:38:15,779
Adam, what should I call you?

693
00:38:15,803 --> 00:38:17,819
Companion? Friend?

694
00:38:17,843 --> 00:38:18,820
Lover.

695
00:38:18,844 --> 00:38:20,483
And in 10.

696
00:38:21,483 --> 00:38:24,523
On my hand in five, four...

697
00:38:26,763 --> 00:38:29,379
Dale Jennings, News at 6.

698
00:38:29,403 --> 00:38:32,899
It's the greatest health crisis
to face the country this century.

699
00:38:32,923 --> 00:38:36,859
Hundreds of Australians are
now infected with the AIDS virus,

700
00:38:36,883 --> 00:38:40,259
and experts predict
it will soon be thousands.

701
00:38:40,283 --> 00:38:43,979
Among those scores,
Russell and his companion Adam.

702
00:38:44,003 --> 00:38:46,379
They join us in the studio tonight.

703
00:38:46,403 --> 00:38:48,099
Welcome.

704
00:38:48,123 --> 00:38:51,203
Russell, can you explain
your diagnosis?

705
00:38:52,123 --> 00:38:54,579
Uh, well, there's a few.

706
00:38:54,603 --> 00:38:59,099
Um, stomach cancer,
which is what's making me sick.

707
00:38:59,123 --> 00:39:01,099
Also AIDS.

708
00:39:01,123 --> 00:39:03,499
How severe is it at the moment?

709
00:39:03,523 --> 00:39:06,442
Well, I'm not about to go dancing,
put it that way.

710
00:39:07,563 --> 00:39:10,219
I have my good days
and my bad days.

711
00:39:10,243 --> 00:39:12,459
But I'm very lucky.

712
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:16,379
You don't usually think
of an AIDS sufferer as being lucky.

713
00:39:16,403 --> 00:39:19,483
But my lover, Adam...

714
00:39:20,563 --> 00:39:22,923
has been a huge support to me.

715
00:39:23,923 --> 00:39:26,299
Some people
have to go through this alone,

716
00:39:26,323 --> 00:39:28,179
which I just can't imagine.

717
00:39:28,203 --> 00:39:30,659
When your results came back positive,

718
00:39:30,683 --> 00:39:32,339
how did that impact you?

719
00:39:32,363 --> 00:39:34,739
It was horrific.

720
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:37,499
All of a sudden, you're
staring down your own mortality

721
00:39:37,523 --> 00:39:39,163
at the age of 35.

722
00:39:40,363 --> 00:39:42,059
But the worst part, by far,

723
00:39:42,083 --> 00:39:43,939
was knowing that
I'd put Adam at risk.

724
00:39:43,963 --> 00:39:47,499
But, Adam, you are not infected.

725
00:39:47,523 --> 00:39:49,539
Is that right?
That's right.

726
00:39:49,563 --> 00:39:52,779
I got tested
right after Russell found out

727
00:39:52,803 --> 00:39:55,419
and, um, well,
waiting for those results,

728
00:39:55,443 --> 00:39:58,099
that was the worst time in my life.

729
00:39:58,123 --> 00:40:00,139
And I'm ashamed to say that...

730
00:40:00,163 --> 00:40:02,003
Sorry, sorry, just to go back.

731
00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:05,579
As a loyal long-term couple,

732
00:40:05,603 --> 00:40:08,939
how do you account for the fact
that one of you contracted the virus

733
00:40:08,963 --> 00:40:11,539
and the other one did not?

734
00:40:11,563 --> 00:40:15,762
Well, we were a couple,
but we were not a monogamous couple.

735
00:40:17,323 --> 00:40:20,419
Adam, did you know
that Russell was non-monogamous?

736
00:40:20,443 --> 00:40:21,979
Yes, I did.

737
00:40:22,003 --> 00:40:23,939
Adam, you were saying
while you were waiting...

738
00:40:23,963 --> 00:40:26,139
Were you angry with Russell

739
00:40:26,163 --> 00:40:28,403
because of the huge risk
he exposed you to?

740
00:40:29,563 --> 00:40:30,819
No.

741
00:40:30,843 --> 00:40:32,419
No?

742
00:40:32,443 --> 00:40:35,259
Russell, do you regret
your lack of monogamy?

743
00:40:35,283 --> 00:40:37,899
No, not at all. Not at all.

744
00:40:37,923 --> 00:40:41,499
My only regret is that I wish we'd
known about the virus back then.

745
00:40:41,523 --> 00:40:44,779
Well, amongst the public at large,

746
00:40:44,803 --> 00:40:47,899
there's the impression that gay men
have spread this disease,

747
00:40:47,923 --> 00:40:50,019
putting the whole community at risk

748
00:40:50,043 --> 00:40:53,459
because of promiscuity
and carelessness.

749
00:40:53,483 --> 00:40:57,899
Now, even despite the
terrifying price that you've paid,

750
00:40:57,923 --> 00:41:00,659
you still wouldn't endorse monogamy?

751
00:41:00,683 --> 00:41:02,259
No, no.

752
00:41:02,283 --> 00:41:04,163
I would endorse safe sex.

753
00:41:05,403 --> 00:41:07,819
Adam, you've been caring
for Russell at home...

754
00:41:07,843 --> 00:41:10,499
Imagine a mother
whose young children have AIDS.

755
00:41:10,523 --> 00:41:13,139
A mother who's devastated...
Come on.

756
00:41:13,163 --> 00:41:16,179
because a promiscuous gay man
donated blood.

757
00:41:16,203 --> 00:41:17,699
What would you say to them?
Fucking hell!

758
00:41:17,723 --> 00:41:19,859
Maybe that heart attack's
done him some good!

759
00:41:19,883 --> 00:41:23,379
What would you say to a mother who's
about to lose her young children?

760
00:41:23,403 --> 00:41:26,459
Well, I would extend
my greatest sympathy.

761
00:41:26,483 --> 00:41:28,699
What would you say to Adam's mother

762
00:41:28,723 --> 00:41:31,979
whose son's life you put at risk
by your behaviour?

763
00:41:32,003 --> 00:41:34,579
I think we should move on to...
My mother...

764
00:41:34,603 --> 00:41:37,163
in fact, my whole family,
don't speak to me.

765
00:41:40,323 --> 00:41:42,179
That must be very, very difficult.

766
00:41:42,203 --> 00:41:43,563
Yeah.

767
00:41:46,243 --> 00:41:47,403
It's agony.

768
00:41:49,843 --> 00:41:52,243
But I've spent most of my life
trying to avoid it.

769
00:41:53,403 --> 00:41:55,803
But in the end,
denying the truth about myself...

770
00:41:57,923 --> 00:41:59,483
that was even worse.

771
00:42:01,323 --> 00:42:04,219
Russell, Adam, I'm afraid that's
all we have time for tonight.

772
00:42:04,243 --> 00:42:05,699
Thank you both very much.

773
00:42:05,723 --> 00:42:07,923
We'll be right back after the break.

774
00:42:09,243 --> 00:42:10,699
Bugger me, I can tell you,

775
00:42:10,723 --> 00:42:12,979
I have not seen this bloke
this sharp since the 1970s.

776
00:42:13,003 --> 00:42:14,819
He's grown a set in hospital,
that's what he's done.

777
00:42:14,843 --> 00:42:16,962
Come on, hey!

778
00:42:18,523 --> 00:42:19,683
And clear!

779
00:42:23,843 --> 00:42:25,923
I am so sorry.

780
00:42:26,923 --> 00:42:29,819
Adam, Russell, I didn't know that
Geoff was gonna be at the bulletin.

781
00:42:29,843 --> 00:42:31,339
I didn't think that
he was gonna take...

782
00:42:31,363 --> 00:42:33,859
If your goal
was to subdue those protests,

783
00:42:33,883 --> 00:42:37,179
I suspect you might have fallen
a little short.

784
00:42:37,203 --> 00:42:39,019
Is Dale here?

785
00:42:39,043 --> 00:42:41,219
Uh, I don't think so, no.

786
00:42:41,243 --> 00:42:43,363
Could I get you
to pass on a message from me?

787
00:42:44,683 --> 00:42:46,019
Sure.

788
00:42:46,043 --> 00:42:47,579
Just...

789
00:42:47,603 --> 00:42:48,803
sorry.

790
00:42:49,803 --> 00:42:50,883
Sorry.

791
00:42:55,563 --> 00:42:56,739
I'll call you tomorrow

792
00:42:56,763 --> 00:42:58,299
and maybe come around to your house
to see you.

793
00:42:58,323 --> 00:42:59,939
Oh, darling...

794
00:42:59,963 --> 00:43:02,859
we've both heard far worse before

795
00:43:02,883 --> 00:43:04,363
and we will again.

796
00:43:06,683 --> 00:43:08,283
Helen, 20 seconds.

797
00:43:15,443 --> 00:43:18,379
Hello,
you've reached Dale Jennings.

798
00:43:18,403 --> 00:43:19,899
I can't take your call right now,

799
00:43:19,923 --> 00:43:22,219
but if you leave me a message
with your details,

800
00:43:22,243 --> 00:43:23,819
I'll get back to you.

801
00:43:23,843 --> 00:43:25,923
Dale, it's Mum.

802
00:43:27,363 --> 00:43:28,723
Could you...

803
00:43:29,763 --> 00:43:32,523
Could you give me a ring, please,
just when you...

804
00:43:34,203 --> 00:43:35,203
Hi, Mum.

805
00:43:36,923 --> 00:43:38,403
You saw the...
Yeah.

806
00:43:39,603 --> 00:43:41,019
I had nothing to do with it.

807
00:43:41,043 --> 00:43:42,939
You said you'd had
no contact with him.

808
00:43:42,963 --> 00:43:44,419
I haven't.

809
00:43:44,443 --> 00:43:45,819
Adam's a...

810
00:43:45,843 --> 00:43:47,859
I don't know.
He's an activist, I guess.

811
00:43:47,883 --> 00:43:50,179
Someone needs to say something
to the Lindells.

812
00:43:50,203 --> 00:43:51,739
He shouldn't be coming to your work!

813
00:43:51,763 --> 00:43:52,740
Don't.

814
00:43:52,764 --> 00:43:54,859
Does Helen know about... what he...

815
00:43:54,883 --> 00:43:55,860
No.

816
00:43:55,884 --> 00:43:59,019
Well, if she has any concerns,
get her to ring me.

817
00:43:59,043 --> 00:44:01,339
I can tell her
what kind of person Adam is,

818
00:44:01,363 --> 00:44:03,443
what kind of a... attacks...
Mum.

819
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:07,123
He's been through enough.

820
00:44:11,403 --> 00:44:12,883
I'll call you tomorrow.

821
00:44:40,923 --> 00:44:43,883
Very boring.

822
00:44:44,923 --> 00:44:47,539
Noels, how are you?
What the hell, Noely?

823
00:44:47,563 --> 00:44:49,363
Yeah, I can explain.

824
00:44:50,523 --> 00:44:51,979
Did you get the sack
and you didn't tell us?

825
00:44:52,003 --> 00:44:53,899
I had the best intentions,
I promise.

826
00:44:53,923 --> 00:44:56,203
I just might have
stuck my foot in it.

827
00:44:59,163 --> 00:45:02,363
I learnt a bit of French at school,
but no Korean, I'm afraid.

828
00:45:04,723 --> 00:45:07,802
Oops. Excuse me. Sorry, everyone.

829
00:45:10,363 --> 00:45:13,579
Mr Kim, Mrs Kim, Jean,

830
00:45:13,603 --> 00:45:15,219
thank you for that tea.

831
00:45:15,243 --> 00:45:16,723
It was delicious.

832
00:45:19,803 --> 00:45:21,283
Merci.

833
00:45:22,763 --> 00:45:26,459
Um... actually, I'll just leave
these thongs for you at the door.

834
00:45:26,483 --> 00:45:27,483
Thanks!

835
00:45:28,483 --> 00:45:29,523
Noels, Noels.

836
00:45:30,883 --> 00:45:32,739
I'm gathering
you didn't tell your family.

837
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:34,522
I'm gathering you did!

838
00:45:35,923 --> 00:45:38,323
Well... anyway...

839
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:42,099
I'm hearing you can come back in
on Monday.

840
00:45:42,123 --> 00:45:43,579
What?

841
00:45:43,603 --> 00:45:45,059
Yeah, well, you know bloody Lindsay.

842
00:45:45,083 --> 00:45:47,819
He... he blows a gasket
and then a day later

843
00:45:47,843 --> 00:45:49,643
he's forgotten all about it.

844
00:45:50,643 --> 00:45:52,059
Did you say something?

845
00:45:52,083 --> 00:45:54,059
Well, I... I didn't say anything

846
00:45:54,083 --> 00:45:56,883
a halfway decent person
wouldn't have said.

847
00:45:59,003 --> 00:46:01,203
I mean, you're the best one there,
Noels.

848
00:46:03,003 --> 00:46:03,980
Thank you.

849
00:46:04,004 --> 00:46:05,563
Oh, it's alright.

850
00:46:10,443 --> 00:46:11,923
You'd better head back in.

851
00:46:14,043 --> 00:46:15,803
Do you want to grab a drink?

852
00:46:17,363 --> 00:46:18,363
Yeah?

853
00:46:19,363 --> 00:46:21,403
Yeah, I mean, are you sure?

854
00:46:22,563 --> 00:46:24,563
Yeah.
Yeah?

855
00:46:28,563 --> 00:46:30,922
Nah, I feel like a dork.

856
00:46:37,323 --> 00:46:39,979
You saw it?
Of course!

857
00:46:40,003 --> 00:46:43,939
Geoff, just slow down.

858
00:46:43,963 --> 00:46:46,539
You're breathless.
I'm fine, darling.

859
00:46:46,563 --> 00:46:49,642
First day back
was always going to push me.

860
00:46:51,643 --> 00:46:52,739
What did you think?

861
00:46:52,763 --> 00:46:55,979
Why don't you have a lie down
and I'll bring your dinner...

862
00:46:56,003 --> 00:46:57,763
What did you think?

863
00:46:59,003 --> 00:47:00,579
You were incredible.

864
00:47:00,603 --> 00:47:02,803
Absolutely incredible.

865
00:47:05,003 --> 00:47:06,659
Ah, yes.

866
00:47:06,683 --> 00:47:08,482
You should have seen Lindsay's face.

867
00:47:09,843 --> 00:47:11,699
OK, you bastard.

868
00:47:11,723 --> 00:47:15,219
You think a sports boy
could give you that, huh?

869
00:47:15,243 --> 00:47:17,523
Yeah, unlikely. Ha-ha!

870
00:47:31,123 --> 00:47:32,859
You watched?
Yeah.

871
00:47:32,883 --> 00:47:34,699
Fuck! It was a fucking disaster.

872
00:47:34,723 --> 00:47:36,619
You know, Geoff wasn't even
supposed to be there.

873
00:47:36,643 --> 00:47:39,259
He came in specifically,
and I don't even know how he heard.

874
00:47:39,283 --> 00:47:41,419
Could I pour myself a drink?

875
00:47:41,443 --> 00:47:42,979
Oh, I feel sick.

876
00:47:43,003 --> 00:47:45,139
Did you book them? Adam and, um...

877
00:47:45,163 --> 00:47:47,363
And Russell? Yeah.

878
00:47:48,883 --> 00:47:51,099
Yeah, I went out looking
for someone who had AIDS,

879
00:47:51,123 --> 00:47:55,179
and then Adam came forward
and told me about his partner.

880
00:47:55,203 --> 00:47:57,059
You said that he was
a research contact.

881
00:47:57,083 --> 00:47:58,779
Yeah.

882
00:47:58,803 --> 00:48:00,859
He said that you guys
went to high school together.

883
00:48:00,883 --> 00:48:02,483
So which is it? Or is it both?

884
00:48:04,443 --> 00:48:05,923
He said that?
Yeah.

885
00:48:07,483 --> 00:48:09,179
He asked me to pass on a message.

886
00:48:09,203 --> 00:48:11,283
He said, "Tell him I'm sorry."

887
00:48:21,483 --> 00:48:25,339
Helen, it's a complicated situation
between our families.

888
00:48:25,363 --> 00:48:27,299
I don't think...

889
00:48:27,323 --> 00:48:28,963
There's no need
to involve you in this.

890
00:48:30,283 --> 00:48:31,803
Involve me in what?

891
00:48:35,443 --> 00:48:36,923
I don't want to talk about it.

892
00:48:39,203 --> 00:48:40,683
You have to tell me.

893
00:48:47,123 --> 00:48:48,819
I mean, nothing that you can say

894
00:48:48,843 --> 00:48:51,363
is worse than what I'm thinking
in my head right now.

895
00:48:53,723 --> 00:48:56,083
He made allegations against me.

896
00:48:58,643 --> 00:49:00,099
What kind of allegations?

897
00:49:00,123 --> 00:49:01,603
When we were teenagers.

898
00:49:04,003 --> 00:49:06,563
He said I did things
that I did not do.

899
00:49:10,403 --> 00:49:13,443
He said I forced myself on him.

900
00:49:17,643 --> 00:49:19,499
It wasn't me.

901
00:49:19,523 --> 00:49:21,419
It was not me.

902
00:49:21,443 --> 00:49:22,899
Are you talking sexually?

903
00:49:22,923 --> 00:49:25,379
We were best friends,
we were teenage boys messing around.

904
00:49:25,403 --> 00:49:27,163
It was adolescent boy stuff.
It wasn't...

905
00:49:30,723 --> 00:49:33,643
Has anything like this happened
since you were a teenager?

906
00:49:38,843 --> 00:49:40,379
You know I love you.

907
00:49:40,403 --> 00:49:43,043
I'm... I'm in love with you.
While we were together?

908
00:49:45,603 --> 00:49:47,363
I'm in love with you, Helen.
With who?

909
00:49:48,483 --> 00:49:49,899
With who?

910
00:49:49,923 --> 00:49:51,139
With who, Dale?
Tim.

911
00:49:51,163 --> 00:49:53,059
For a brief moment, only once,
and I stopped it.

912
00:49:53,083 --> 00:49:54,779
As soon as it ended,
I told him, Helen.

913
00:49:54,803 --> 00:49:56,323
I told him that
I was committed to you!
