00:00Hey Marley, why do you need to find your brother so urgently?
00:11Should you be talking to the police?
00:12I'm not going to do that.
00:13Why not?
00:14It's complicated Bree.
00:15Did you recognise any of the attackers?
00:17Do you know who stabbed Levi?
00:19Marley?
00:20No.
00:21I don't.
00:22Sorry.
00:23I'm getting nowhere fast with this investigation.
00:25I know something's going on, but why won't anyone talk to me?
00:29Do you remember the names of any of these people?
00:31I was a bit busy getting stabbed.
00:33They did seem to know a recurrent Nali pretty well.
00:36I just need you to downplay the connection between the Allens and my brother.
00:39It's not going to happen.
00:40If the Allens find out that the cops are after him, who knows what they'll do to him.
00:44What if it was your brother?
00:45I cannot believe he's putting me in this position right now.
00:48Everything okay?
00:49Yes!
00:50Someone, help!
00:52Grab the resource trolley, let's get some help.
00:54Oh my god.
00:56We should talk about what happened.
00:58We thought I was going to prison.
00:59And the last time I kissed you, you made your feelings very clear.
01:03Can we just forget that night ever happened and just be friends?
01:06Friends, right.
01:09Uppercuts, let's go!
01:12You're going in hard, I like it.
01:15Okay, now switch the crosses.
01:19Good energy.
01:20What's motivating you today?
01:22Burning some stress.
01:24Anything in particular?
01:26Doesn't matter.
01:28Right, it's time, take a break.
01:31Have you sent John your proposal for the youth program yet?
01:33Oh, I still need to beef it up a bit before submitting.
01:35Any chance you could take another look at it?
01:37Oh, when?
01:38Today, I want to get things started ASAP.
01:42Okay, I've got some time.
01:43Great.
01:45Hey, eyes on me, break's over.
01:47Give me ten jump squats, let's go.
01:50One.
01:51I need that x-ray now.
01:53Let's give him ten litres via the re-breathing.
01:55Can you check that the drain hasn't occluded?
01:58What's the x-ray for, what's going on?
01:59There's air in his peritoneal cavity.
02:01Okay, what does that mean though?
02:02It means there could be a perforation.
02:03We need to get him out of there as soon as possible.
02:05Okay, let's do it.
02:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
02:13There could be a perforation.
02:14We need to get him to theatre now.
02:15Is he going to be alright?
02:16Mac, Mac, I'm sorry, we need to move.
02:24Oh, I like this.
02:26The site talks about goal setting and self-esteem.
02:29You think that'll be good to add?
02:31Sure, you can quote that in the proposal.
02:34Though, I think you should talk specifically about who you see in the program.
02:39Well, any kid who needs it.
02:41Okay, but what does that look like?
02:43Foster kids, homeless kids?
02:45Anyone who falls in the too hard basket.
02:48Like, got messed up, wound up on probation.
02:51Right, so they might require juvenile diversion programs.
02:55Yeah.
02:57Those can be difficult kids to take on.
03:00They're really tough.
03:01I'm tough too.
03:03I've had a few cases where it's been a struggle to find a way to connect.
03:07Well, what's the point of something like this?
03:09Let's break down those walls.
03:10Yeah, I guess so.
03:11Besides, I can tell them I've been there too.
03:13I've been in trouble, I've been lost.
03:16Alright, well that's your focus then.
03:23Am I kidding myself?
03:24What?
03:26Do you think I can pull this off?
03:28Tell me, honestly.
03:29If anyone can, it's you.
03:33Well, I'm lucky to have you on board.
03:41Well, you're a legend for helping me.
03:44Oh, I'm happy to.
03:45It's great to see how invested you are in this.
03:47Now's your chance. I'll leave you to it.
03:49Come with me.
03:50No, this is your thing.
03:52It's practically yours now too.
03:53Come.
03:56Hey, John.
03:57Hey, hey, hang on a minute.
03:59Please don't tell them you've got a problem with the plumbing in the gym.
04:02No, no, we wanted to talk to you about the youth program.
04:04Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm keen to see your proposal.
04:06Alright, good. Well, I'm just fixing it up now.
04:08Yeah, well, you pop it on my desk when you're done
04:10and I'll have a look at it when I can.
04:12I've got a million things on today.
04:13Well, I kind of want to get the ball rolling.
04:15Maybe I can just talk you through it.
04:16Not now, mate.
04:17I've got a tradie waiting outside to deal with some blocked drains
04:20and he's charging like a wounded bull.
04:22Well, I can talk to you after that then.
04:23No, there's a way these things are done.
04:26First, you hand in your written submission
04:28and then I put it on the agenda for the next committee meeting.
04:31OK, I got it.
04:34Alright, we need to tidy up the document before printing.
04:36Put it in a folder, make it look more professional.
04:38What do you think?
04:39It might take a bit more time, but it'll be worth it.
04:42You go ahead. I've actually got some other work to do.
04:45Oh, I thought you were free today.
04:47Yeah, sorry.
04:48Oh, it's cool.
04:49If you're busy, you're busy.
04:51Guess I'll figure it out.
04:55Tane, wait.
04:57I can help.
04:59Um, Mac.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Hey.
05:02Hey.
05:03I have Levi's statement here ready to sign.
05:05I'm hoping you're ready to give yours.
05:07What's happened?
05:09It's Levi.
05:10He was fine and then he crashed and I just...
05:13Oh, I'm so sorry.
05:14I cannot believe Marley has brought all this trouble to us.
05:17Is that what he wanted to talk to you about before,
05:19when I was interviewing Levi?
05:20Mac.
05:21Hey.
05:22How is he?
05:23Still in shock.
05:24Still in shock.
05:25Mac.
05:26Hey.
05:27How is he?
05:28Stable.
05:29They've just taken him into surgery.
05:31You said something about, um, air.
05:33What did that mean?
05:34So the knife must have made a small tear in his stomach space
05:36and that's what allowed the air in.
05:38How long will he be in surgery?
05:39That'll depend on what they find.
05:41Okay.
05:42Brie, was this my fault?
05:44No, not at all.
05:45He wouldn't even be here without you.
05:47Exactly.
05:50Hey, um, I know things between Levi and his sister aren't great,
05:53but has anyone not eaten or what's going on?
05:55I have friends who are cool.
05:58That's okay.
05:59I can give her a call.
06:00No, you know what?
06:01I could do it.
06:02I should do it.
06:03It should be me.
06:04I'll do it.
06:19What is wrong with you?
06:20Can't you just relax?
06:22I'm just lying down in the middle of the day doing absolutely nothing.
06:26Feels wrong.
06:27Oh, you're wrong.
06:29We could go home if you like.
06:31What am I going to do then?
06:32Go for a walk, have lunch.
06:35I mean, what am I going to do with my life?
06:37That's what this restlessness is about.
06:39Pretty much.
06:40Don't get me wrong, baby.
06:41I love being here with you, but I need a job.
06:45And at the risk of getting my head bitten off, I'm not the only one, am I?
06:50It's not like I haven't been looking.
06:52I'm not having a go at you.
06:54Reality sucks.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Reality sucks.
07:01I don't blame you for not taking the salt gig with Flick.
07:03Good.
07:04I just think that we need to start thinking about what comes next.
07:10I don't see one.
07:11Kenzie?
07:14Whatever it is, I don't want to know about it.
07:16Might ruin a gorgeous day.
07:19We could go and have an early lunch.
07:21Ooh, at Salt?
07:22Takeaway only.
07:23That could be working.
07:25I don't want to talk to her on the phone.
07:27I do not want to risk seeing her in person.
07:29It's your call.
07:30Sweet.
07:31My call stands.
07:39Yes, Alf, I will distribute the minutes of the AGM right after I've done the rosters for the lifeguards.
07:45Will you relax?
07:47Just chill out and enjoy the fishing at Miranda's, OK?
07:50I can take it from here.
07:52All right.
07:53See you, mate.
07:55Cranky old...
07:59OK.
08:09No.
08:15No!
08:17No!
08:23No, no, no, no, no!
08:35Do you think John's ready yet?
08:37I don't know.
08:38He seemed pretty busy.
08:39In fact, I should get going myself.
08:41Maybe I should get you to do the pitches for the committee.
08:43Probably a better option than me.
08:45What makes you think that?
08:46Well, you're a good communicator.
08:48Oh, I don't know about that.
08:50I bet you're in the school debating team.
08:53Shut up.
08:54Ah, I knew it.
08:55So at least throw me some tips or something.
08:58Well, start with why this is important to you.
09:01Just talk to the committee no different to the way you talk to me.
09:06OK, Tane, where did you get the idea for the programme?
09:10From counselling.
09:11Great.
09:12And what was your takeaway from counselling?
09:15Everyone there had a story.
09:17They were from foster care, juvie, bad homes.
09:24And it got me thinking about how lucky I was growing up.
09:27It's not like you had it easy.
09:29Yeah, but I grew up with my brothers, my whānau.
09:32We had each other.
09:34And if we lost our way, even with the support of family,
09:39what chance do these kids have?
09:46OK, great. Let's go.
09:51John.
09:52Could you not sneak up on people?
09:55Have you read the proposal yet?
09:56I told you, I barely had time to scratch myself.
09:59Could you do it now? It's not a big read.
10:02I'll get to it when I can.
10:11Oh, I am starving.
10:13Oh, well, we could have got our food a lot sooner
10:15if you let us eat at Salt instead of the diner.
10:17Not worth the risk.
10:19You know, you could always get a job at Salt if you wanted to.
10:21Oh, yeah, because it's not enough that I live with Felicity.
10:23I've got to work with her as well.
10:24Yeah, true.
10:26OK, so what are you going to do?
10:29Any chance of you going back to the security company?
10:33No.
10:34No, I don't think I'll ever get a job as a personal bodyguard again.
10:37OK, so you've got to think right outside the box.
10:40Make a whole new career.
10:42Yeah.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Mackenzie.
10:46She's calling you now.
10:48Just leave her.
10:49She's not calling for no reason.
10:50Hey, Mac.
10:53Yep, Eden's with me.
10:59I'll let her know.
11:02What does she want?
11:04Levi's at the hospital.
11:06Oh, great. He's started his new job.
11:08Why do I care?
11:09As a patient.
11:13Thanks for shouting lunch.
11:15You didn't have to do that.
11:16It's the least I could do.
11:17I derailed your day.
11:19I'm invested now.
11:21You've completely sold me.
11:23Couldn't sell John, though.
11:25Did you get the feeling he was dodging us?
11:27He seems pretty under the pump.
11:29With Rue and Alf away, he's holding down the fort all on his own.
11:33I guess.
11:35Hey, we've written a solid proposal.
11:37You've got the pitch all ready to go.
11:39Yeah, but he's not willing to hear it.
11:41Well, that's the next step. Make him hear it.
11:45No, you're right.
11:47I know.
11:50Thanks for having my back.
11:58Harper, you all right?
12:02Yeah, fine.
12:05I'm gonna go find John, see if I can nail him down for a check.
12:12Thanks.
12:18Should I even be here?
12:20Why would you say that?
12:22I can't leave her out of my life.
12:24Hey, he's your brother. He's been attacked.
12:26You're allowed to care.
12:29Yeah.
12:34Hey.
12:35Hey.
12:36You see Lebo?
12:37Yeah, do you know where he is?
12:38He's up on the second floor.
12:39Thank you.
12:40Um, maybe give me a few minutes' time with him?
12:43Yeah.
12:45Thanks.
12:46Thanks.
12:47See ya.
12:50Is she okay?
12:51Yeah.
12:52Do you know what happened to Levi?
12:54Some thugs broke into the house and he and Mackenzie walked in on them.
12:57What, you reckon it was a break-in and a gone wrong?
12:59Kind of.
13:00I'm pretty sure they were there for Marley's brother.
13:02What's Marley got to say about that?
13:04I haven't interviewed him yet.
13:05Right, what do we know about the thugs then? Have they got form?
13:07No, I can't talk about the details of an active investigation.
13:09Oh, yeah.
13:10Yeah, sorry.
13:11Sorry, I got carried away.
13:13Trust me, I wish I could run it by you.
13:16Miss not having you to bounce off.
13:18I like the problem-solving part of the job.
13:20Be careful what you wish for.
13:22Right now, leads are thin and I keep hitting human brick walls.
13:25You're giving me a nightmare my witness is shut down.
13:28I'm gonna go check on Eden and Levi.
13:30Good luck.
13:31Thanks.
13:32Thanks.
14:02Are you going in?
14:15I'm sure it's fine.
14:20Mac's got it covered.
14:23That doesn't mean that you can't be here too.
14:27He's alive.
14:29Being taken care of, that's...
14:32That's all I need to know.
14:50John!
14:51You keep popping up out of nowhere.
14:53Have you looked at that proposal yet?
14:55Like I said, I'm kind of busy.
14:57Yeah, I figured that.
14:58So why don't I just talk you through it, eh?
14:59Look, I can't right now.
15:01The conditions have changed and these flags aren't going to move themselves.
15:04Alright, no worries.
15:06We can talk along the way.
15:09Whistle to the right of this thing.
15:11Yeah, well hang on, it could get bumpy.
15:18It must have been really hard to see him like that.
15:20Yeah, but he's going to be okay.
15:22Yeah.
15:23And we don't have to worry about running into Mac.
15:27I can't believe I'm about to say this, but...
15:30Say what?
15:31I think she really loves him.
15:36Seeing her with him, it just...
15:39It changed things for you.
15:42If she really loves him, I...
15:44I can't blame her for that.
15:47Does this mean you'll be forgiving Levi too?
15:49I wouldn't go that far, that's a bit different.
15:51He's hurt.
15:52Yeah, but he's got his girlfriend there, he doesn't need me.
15:54Anyway, I have got you.
15:57Yeah, you do.
15:58Okay, you want to head home and do job stuff?
16:00We don't have to do that right now if you don't want to.
16:02It's not going to sort itself out.
16:12Something's not right.
16:13Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
16:14Do you want to go check on her? I'll walk home.
16:16Sure.
16:17Yeah, yeah, that'll clear my mind.
16:19Hey.
16:28Oi.
16:29Hey.
16:30Hey.
16:31Not like you to be polishing a bar stool in the middle of the day and on your own.
16:35I don't even recognise myself at the moment.
16:38What?
16:40What's going on?
16:42Let's not go there.
16:43How about I buy you a drink and we can talk about anything else?
16:50Hey.
16:51Hey.
16:52How's Levi?
16:53Good, good. The surgery was a success.
16:55He's awake now.
16:56Great.
16:57Listen, I need him to sign his statement if you think he's up to it.
17:00Yeah, I guess, but he'll be tired so make it quick.
17:03Sure.
17:12Hey.
17:14Bree says you're doing great.
17:17I like to keep the doctors on their toes.
17:19Well, you've definitely done that.
17:22How are you feeling?
17:24A bit sore, but I'm lucky I'm here.
17:28Levi, if you're up to it, I need to get a signature on this statement.
17:32Yeah, sure.
17:34Great.
17:35Mac, I need to get your statement too.
17:40Mac, what is going on?
17:41What is going on?
17:44Whoever's responsible for this needs to be brought to justice,
17:46regardless of how Marley and his brother are involved, because I know they are.
17:55Okay, um...
17:59Marley called them the Allens.
18:02There was a woman, her name was Nat, and two brothers, Gordy and Campbell.
18:09They took our local.
18:13Thanks for hanging out.
18:15Sorry I wasn't great company.
18:16That's all good.
18:17Although, you know, you could always be a little bit less cryptic and just tell me what's going on.
18:22I don't think you really want to know.
18:24Which is a shame, because you're a great listener.
18:26Oh, you reckon?
18:27Yeah. How many times did I call you when you were still a cop, needing help on a case?
18:30A couple of times.
18:32Well, I'm still just a phone call away.
18:34Thanks, Cash.
18:35See ya.
18:37You know, it can really make a big difference.
18:39Right, alright, I have heard you.
18:42Maybe give John a break.
18:44Yeah, that'd be nice.
18:45Okay, but you are going to read the proposal now.
18:48I've read it, okay?
18:50Why didn't you say?
18:51Because it's never going to happen.
18:52I'm not going to take that proposal to the committee, so you need to drop it.
19:07Harper didn't say much, but I can tell that she wasn't happy.
19:12Thank you.
19:15Look.
19:18She said that Levi is fully awake now and recovering well.
19:23That's good.
19:24Hey, that's great.
19:25It's really good of Mike to keep you in the loop.
19:27I actually texted her for the update.
19:30Really?
19:31That's a sentence I didn't think I'd hear.
19:33That's a sentence I didn't think I'd hear.
19:35I wanted to know that Levi was okay, and like I said, she's not the enemy now, so...
19:40I think that that's good for everybody.
19:42Almost like being back to normal.
19:44Well, speaking of back to normal, I might have made a decision on my career.
19:50Yeah? What is that?
19:52I want to go back to the police force.
19:55Okay. Where's this coming from?
19:58I miss it.
20:00I get that.
20:01I get that.
20:03It's where you've always belonged.
20:04I think I've just been being stubborn.
20:06You? No.
20:10I think it's a really great idea.
20:11Yeah.
20:12How do we make it happen?
20:13Well, that's what I'm about to find out.
20:15What made him go cold on me?
20:17Did I push him too hard?
20:19Maybe.
20:20But he was starting to dodge you before that.
20:22I wonder what got into him.
20:24So he's just not into it?
20:26Tana, it's a great idea. It's worth fighting for.
20:29We've just got to see this as a challenge to overcome.
20:32Exactly. Think about what you'll be telling the kids that you're mentoring.
20:36Never give up.
20:37Okay.
20:38Okay, then we need a different strategy.
20:40How about after I finish at the gym, I can show you dinner and we can put our heads together.
20:44Find a way to get John over the line and really push through until we nail this.
20:48Look, I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm so glad that I've got you.
20:51Tana, stop.
20:53What?
20:54I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry.
20:56I'm sorry, but I'm done.
21:09Harper, would you slow down?
21:11Why don't you want to be involved anymore?
21:12You really can't guess.
21:14Did I do something?
21:15You slept with me and then you acted like it meant nothing.
21:17It's just too hard.
21:20Stupid me thought that it might be something, but he doesn't feel the same way.
21:25His friendship is so important to me and now it's a train wreck.
21:28It's still really important to me.
21:30So is there any way you can push through this?
21:32I don't even think we can be friends anymore.
