[1:01] Speaker 2: Bring him in, Jason.
[1:02] Speaker 1: Phil's shaking. The glasses are off.
[1:05] Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if I was supposed to come in
[1:06] Speaker 3: here or not because I said no trespassing at the front.
[1:08] Speaker 1: No, it's fine, Phil. Come in. Come in.
[1:10] Speaker 3: Are you okay? I don't care.
[1:11] Speaker 1: I'm going.
[1:15] Speaker 6: Guys, I'm bringing in a gentleman called Phil who is shaking.
[1:20] Speaker 1: I think I scared him when I opened the door.
[1:23] Speaker 2: Hey, Bill, guess what?

[1:25] Speaker 2: You just won $ 20, 000.

[1:34] Speaker 7: Come on in.
[1:36] Speaker 3: Hello.
[1:36] Speaker 1: How are you feeling, Phil? Do you know what it is?
[1:38] Speaker 1: It's lucky Phil today.
[1:40] Speaker 7: I don't know.
[1:41] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[1:42] Speaker 2: Okay, do you need it? Are you all right?
[1:44] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[1:45] Speaker 6: I don't know.
[1:45] Speaker 1: Are you shaking?
[1:46] Speaker 2: Do you want to sit down? Sit down, sit down,
[1:47] Speaker 2: sit down. Hello.
[1:49] Speaker 7: Tell us about yourself, Phil.
[1:51] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[1:57] Speaker 2: What do you do for a living, Phil?
[2:00] Speaker 3: I just quit my job a couple of months ago
[2:03] Speaker 3: and started my charity foundation.
[2:07] Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
[2:08] Speaker 3: So that's basically what I'm doing now.
[2:10] Speaker 2: Where do you live?
[2:12] Speaker 3: In Point Cooke.
[2:13] Speaker 2: In Point Cooke?
[2:14] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[2:14] Speaker 2: You're really nervous, aren't you, Phil?
[2:16] Speaker 1: Just overwhelmed.
[2:17] Speaker 7: Phil from Point Cooke has just found us.
[2:19] Speaker 3: He's trying, like, since the first one on, when was it,
[2:22] Speaker 3: last Tuesday?
[2:23] Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
[2:24] Speaker 3: And each time, just missed it.
[2:27] Speaker 7: So, were you up at the crack of dawn this morning, or.
[2:29] Speaker 2: I.
[2:31] Speaker 3: Think I got up at, like, quarter to five or
[2:33] Speaker 3: something like that and started heading towards Thomastown.
[2:36] Speaker 6: All right.
[2:36] Speaker 3: Because I had to... brought Tommy off the market, please.
[2:40] Speaker 5: Well, we won't give away exactly where we are just yet,
[2:43] Speaker 5: but this is $ 20, 000.
[2:45] Speaker 4: Is that.
[2:46] Speaker 7: I take it that's quite life-changing for you.
[2:48] Speaker 3: Well, maybe not so much for me, but it'll help
[2:52] Speaker 3: with my foundation because I'm running a festival next year
[2:56] Speaker 3: and to raise money for Beyond Blue. And so that
[3:01] Speaker 3: will go like heaps towards.
[3:03] Speaker 2: What's your foundation all about?
[3:04] Speaker 3: So basically... I just want to try and raise as
[3:08] Speaker 3: much money and help as much people as possible. We
[3:12] Speaker 3: just finished building a car and all the profits from
[3:16] Speaker 3: that go to Beyond Blue.
[3:18] Speaker 2: Why have you decided to donate your time and your
[3:20] Speaker 2: money to Beyond Blue? It's important to you.
[3:26] Speaker 3: Yeah, so when I was 21, a girl that I
[3:30] Speaker 3: grew up with that lived across the road from me,
[3:33] Speaker 3: like since we were little kids, And when she was 21,
[3:38] Speaker 3: she took her own life. And it was just like.
[3:45] Speaker 2: You carried that, obviously.
[3:46] Speaker 3: It stuck with you. We grew apart as we got older,
[3:49] Speaker 3: you know, and then started working. And she couldn't find
[3:56] Speaker 3: a job. And I didn't know because I was working and,
[3:59] Speaker 3: you know, didn't really see.
[4:00] Speaker 1: Each other much. And then....
[4:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, if I had have known, I could have got
[4:06] Speaker 3: a job where I was working like that, you know,
[4:08] Speaker 3: and things would have been different.
[4:10] Speaker 4: Well, you're a wonderful man. I'm so glad you're the
[4:13] Speaker 4: man who walked through the doors first and won the money.
[4:15] Speaker 4: All right, we're going to take a break and we're
[4:16] Speaker 4: going to come back.
[4:17] Speaker 1: Sorry I scared you, bro.
[4:19] Speaker 2: And we're going to come back and reveal exactly.
[4:21] Speaker 7: It's quite a shock, isn't it, seeing him walk a
[4:23] Speaker 7: barrel towards you.
[4:24] Speaker 6: Because the location where we are, you can't see us
[4:27] Speaker 6: from the other side of the door.
[4:28] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[4:29] Speaker 3: And at the gate it says no trespassing and I
[4:31] Speaker 3: sat there for like– a minute or two thinking, should
[4:36] Speaker 3: I be going in here or not? And then I
[4:38] Speaker 3: just went, you know what? I've missed it every other time.
[4:40] Speaker 3: I was so close. I've got to go with my
[4:42] Speaker 3: gut and just do it.
[4:45] Speaker 2: You came and knocked on the door. And you know what?
[4:46] Speaker 2: You marched up to that door. You knocked on it.
[4:48] Speaker 2: And what did you say?
[4:49] Speaker 3: I don't remember now.
[4:52] Speaker 2: You said, Jace, Lauren and Clint.
[4:53] Speaker 3: Come out wherever you are.
[4:54] Speaker 1: That'll do it. And that just won you $ 20, 000. Yeah,
[4:56] Speaker 1: 20 grand, Phil.
[4:56] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[5:00] Speaker 4: All right.
[5:01] Speaker 1: I'm going to get you a drink, something stiff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[5:03] Speaker 2: Take a breather.
[5:04] Speaker 6: It's an amazing cause that you are chucking this money
[5:08] Speaker 6: behind and what you're committing your time to, mate.
[5:10] Speaker 1: Thank you. I commend you for that.
[5:11] Speaker 6: Look, we're going to come back. We're going to dive
[5:13] Speaker 6: into the clues. We'll reveal exactly where we are as well.
[5:17] Speaker 6: And also, just a reminder, the lifeline number is 131114. 13, 11, 14.
[5:23] Speaker 6: It's a great service if you need it. Phil is
[5:26] Speaker 6: our $ 20, 000 winner. He's with us this morning.
[5:28] Speaker 1: It's the final day. You're a legend, Phil.
[5:30] Speaker 7: You bloody did it.
[5:31] Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
[5:34] Speaker 6: Phil will reveal exactly where we're hiding next on Nova.
[5:38] Speaker 6: We have a very emotional winner joining us this morning
[5:41] Speaker 6: because it's our final round of this.
[5:44] Speaker 7: Searching for Jace, Lauren and Clint?
[5:46] Speaker 3: Search for your new home with Metricon and you can
[5:48] Speaker 3: love where you live.
[5:49] Speaker 5: Hide and, hide and, hide and seek.
[5:53] Speaker 1: Jace, Lauren and Clint. Hide and seek. It's been run
[5:58] Speaker 1: and it's been won.
[5:59] Speaker 2: It has.
[6:01] Speaker 4: Hide and seek round five for $ 20, 000, Clinty.
[6:04] Speaker 5: It's fair to say we've all been shedding a few
[6:06] Speaker 5: tears during the song that just played out because we
[6:09] Speaker 5: have an amazing winner. A beautiful winner who this money
[6:15] Speaker 5: means the world to, Phil from Point Cook.
[6:17] Speaker 7: Congratulations, mate. Has it sunk in?
[6:20] Speaker 3: No, it's still not. I'm shaking. I can barely talk.
[6:24] Speaker 4: Well, Phil, you played a fair game and there's many
[6:27] Speaker 4: people running around Melbourne trying to find us. In fact,
[6:29] Speaker 4: people have been driving in like literally four to five
[6:32] Speaker 4: minutes after you did who have just missed out, which
[6:36] Speaker 4: is so devastating for them. But we haven't revealed to
[6:39] Speaker 4: Melbourne where we have been hiding yet. And, Phil, from
[6:42] Speaker 4: Point Cook, it's your turn to tell people in Melbourne
[6:46] Speaker 4: where we are.
[6:47] Speaker 3: We're at Coburg... Drive-in cinema.
[6:50] Speaker 2: That's it.
[6:51] Speaker 1: We are.
[6:51] Speaker 2: We're in the candy bar. It's Jase's dream come true.
[6:54] Speaker 3: Yes. Finally.
[6:55] Speaker 1: If only he could sleep here.
[6:58] Speaker 2: We have been hiding in the candy bar.
[7:00] Speaker 4: Now, if you've been to the Coburg drive-in cinemas, it's
[7:03] Speaker 4: sort of right in the middle of the cinema.
[7:06] Speaker 2: It's actually awesome.
[7:07] Speaker 1: Now, Phil, you're here on Saturday night. You've got tickets.
[7:10] Speaker 3: I didn't buy tickets, but I planned to bring my
[7:13] Speaker 3: granddaughter on Saturday night to see Monsters, Inc.
[7:16] Speaker 6: So, okay, well, look, let's run through the clues and
[7:20] Speaker 6: you can sort of show us exactly how you found.
[7:22] Speaker 1: Us this morning.
[7:23] Speaker 4: So the one that really set you off to come
[7:26] Speaker 4: here was which clue?
[7:27] Speaker 1: That.
[7:29] Speaker 3: The menage a trois.
[7:30] Speaker 2: Oh, that was yesterday.
[7:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was the start. So last night I
[7:36] Speaker 3: was up late Googling anything to do with free, basically.
[7:40] Speaker 2: And here at the drive-in, how many screens are there, Phil?
[7:43] Speaker 1: Three.
[7:44] Speaker 7: Yeah, there's three.
[7:45] Speaker 1: Where did you head, though, this morning?
[7:47] Speaker 3: This morning, so I went to Thornbury to free because
[7:51] Speaker 3: I had to go to Thomastown, so I thought I'd
[7:53] Speaker 3: do this area.
[7:54] Speaker 4: Yep.
[7:54] Speaker 3: And I went to Three Ravens Brewery, I think it is.
[7:57] Speaker 1: Oh, the Three Ravens. Yep.
[7:59] Speaker 3: And then I knocked on just about every door there
[8:02] Speaker 3: like an idiot, you know.
[8:05] Speaker 2: Worth it though. Yeah.
[8:06] Speaker 3: And then I sort of started heading sort of towards
[8:09] Speaker 3: Domestana for that one. That's, you know, and then you
[8:13] Speaker 3: did that clue about the light and dark. So that
[8:15] Speaker 3: was our 6.30 clue. It's dark and light at the
[8:18] Speaker 3: same time, which points you to what? Well, then I
[8:21] Speaker 3: was thinking, because on the way I'm trying to think three,
[8:23] Speaker 3: and three sort of came up last night with the
[8:25] Speaker 3: three sort of screens, like when I was looking at
[8:28] Speaker 3: the movie, I'm thinking three, three, and the three screens.
[8:31] Speaker 3: And previously I'd gone to cinemas on the other days
[8:36] Speaker 3: because I've done every day. Yeah. Yeah, so I went
[8:40] Speaker 3: to cinemas because I was thinking, you know.
[8:43] Speaker 2: It's dark and light at the same time, which is
[8:45] Speaker 2: a cinema. And can I say, as soon as we
[8:47] Speaker 2: dropped that clue, the text line pinged off with people going,
[8:50] Speaker 2: a few people have gone to the Dramana drive-in. And
[8:54] Speaker 2: people have gone to cinemas all over Melbourne trying to
[8:56] Speaker 2: find us.
[8:57] Speaker 6: The other clue was the white glove movers can't park here.
[8:59] Speaker 6: Can you imagine if a giant truck parked in front
[9:01] Speaker 6: of you at the drive-in?
[9:02] Speaker 7: You'd be spitting chips.
[9:03] Speaker 1: Unless you're in the white glove mover truck.
[9:05] Speaker 2: And then before we were found, we dropped never.
[9:08] Speaker 1: Did you say never?
[9:08] Speaker 4: Never. Eat soggy Weet-Bix. And if you look on our socials,
[9:11] Speaker 4: as we suggested, the never is highlighted.
[9:13] Speaker 1: In for North, Lauren.
[9:14] Speaker 4: The old way we learnt North, South, East, West or North, East, South,
[9:17] Speaker 4: West was never eat.
[9:18] Speaker 2: Soggy Weet-Bix in the clock.
[9:20] Speaker 7: Okay, back to you.
[9:21] Speaker 2: So we're in the North side. We're pointing everyone to
[9:23] Speaker 2: the North side. And then we got found before we
[9:25] Speaker 2: gave away the rest of the clues.
[9:26] Speaker 7: What do your family think of you playing this game?
[9:30] Speaker 5: So let's start with your wife. And you're a grandfather
[9:33] Speaker 5: as well. Obviously, they mean the world to you. And
[9:35] Speaker 5: they're going to be rapt that you won this money.
[9:36] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[9:38] Speaker 3: My wife was excited the first day. And then after that,
[9:42] Speaker 3: when I just missed the first one, and then every
[9:45] Speaker 3: day after that, I kept just missing and she just
[9:47] Speaker 3: gave up, I think. She was not even listening to
[9:50] Speaker 3: me anymore.
[9:50] Speaker 2: So, have you told her you've won the $ 20, 000 yet?
[9:52] Speaker 3: No, I didn't have a chance.
[9:53] Speaker 2: Would she be listening?
[9:56] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[9:56] Speaker 3: I think she's probably still sleeping.
[9:58] Speaker 2: It's okay. We're not going to be offended, are we?
[10:00] Speaker 1: A sunrise girl. She's a sunrise girl. What did you
[10:02] Speaker 1: say to her last night though about today?
[10:04] Speaker 3: I said to her, like, I was just like trying
[10:07] Speaker 3: to stay in a positive mind, you know, and I
[10:09] Speaker 3: just always got to keep pushing that to me, you know.
[10:12] Speaker 3: And I said, I'm going to win this 100%. I'm
[10:16] Speaker 3: going to win. I'm going to win it.
[10:17] Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.

[10:23] Speaker 2: on the door. And you said, Jase, Lauren, and Clint,

[12:57] Speaker 4: No, we've had a great time playing with you as well, Melbourne.
