00:00♪ Closer each day, home in the way ♪
00:08Daniel, we need to sort this out.
00:09No, I need space.
00:10I need you to not be in it.
00:11Now's not the time to back off, mate.
00:13Now's the time to let them know how much you care.
00:15I'm sorry that I didn't believe you,
00:17and I promise it will never happen again.
00:19You're talking like there is gonna be a next time.
00:21Are we over?
00:22Is that what you're saying?
00:23The money that we donated to Bronte
00:26has been returned to our account.
00:28I just can't stop thinking about
00:29what might have happened to Dana
00:31if you and Xander hadn't have found her.
00:33Avery, can you stop blaming yourself?
00:35Will you stop letting me off the hook?
00:38No one else is to blame.
00:40Hey.
00:41What are you two doing here?
00:43Cooking you to dinner.
00:44I will have a glass of red wine.
00:46John?
00:47A whiskey, thanks.
00:47Nick?
00:50Just a lemonade.
00:57I am a second,
00:59away from falling off the wagon.
01:01I am really hoping that you can talk me out of it.
01:24Morning, Al.
01:25Am I biting?
01:27Nah.
01:28They must have seen you coming and scarpered.
01:31Hey, come on, you.
01:32These plagues aren't gonna plant themselves.
01:35Ah, Dana, how you doing?
01:37Oh, yeah, you know, doing better.
01:40Beach is helping, though.
01:41Oh, pleased to hear it.
01:43Don't work it too hard, eh?
01:48Uh, guess I'm not the only one
01:50that's got stuff on their mind.
01:53What is this?
01:54Oh.
01:55Hey, how was Irene this morning?
01:57I didn't see her.
01:58Why?
01:59Oh, never mind.
02:00Does that mean you spent the night at Xander's?
02:03No.
02:04Why would I do that?
02:05Well, I thought you might have worked things out
02:06at Salt last night.
02:08Not even close.
02:10So what happened?
02:10He just basically asked me to commit to a life together,
02:14which is so overwhelming.
02:17I may have been partly responsible for that.
02:19What?
02:20What did you do?
02:21I may have encouraged him to be a bit more persistent.
02:25Right.
02:26Yeah, well, the poor kid was tying himself up
02:28in knots trying to figure out what to do.
02:29I fell for it.
02:34Okay, can we go back to work, please?
02:37She reckons she needs more time to think.
02:39At least she didn't dump you then and there.
02:40Yeah, but if she said we're done,
02:41then at least I'd know what I'm dealing with.
02:44Do you wanna break up with her, though?
02:46Of course not.
02:47Well, leaving her to make the decision
02:49while she's mad at you isn't gonna help your chances.
02:51Yeah, but every time I try and talk to her,
02:52she just pushes me away.
02:54Maybe you're talking too much.
02:55Thanks, Marley, big help.
02:57No, I mean, maybe there's something else you can try.
03:01Like what?
03:03You know what they say.
03:04Actions speak louder than words.
03:12Thanks again for taking me to my appointment.
03:14Yeah, that's what I'm here for.
03:18You didn't say much on the way back.
03:20I thought I might be putting you out.
03:22Still got a lot on my mind.
03:24Still trying to iron out some problems
03:25with the youth program.
03:26Oh, yeah, I'd love to hear more about that.
03:29Maybe later.
03:30Got some phone calls to make.
03:34Hey.
03:35How's the checkup?
03:36Yeah, all good, all good.
03:38I actually got to stop by my unit while I was there.
03:40Well, you're supposed to be recovering, not working.
03:42Yeah, I told him that too,
03:44but he went and did it anyway.
03:45Okay, talking to some colleagues isn't gonna set me back.
03:49Let's just not tell Mackenzie or we'll both be in trouble.
03:52Sure.
03:54Hey, Perry, it's Tony.
03:55Just checking to see if you're still good to meet me at 10.
03:58Hi.
03:59No luck?
04:00Just going to voicemail.
04:02Hello, John.
04:03The usual?
04:04No, no, thanks.
04:05Just popped in to see if Irene was feeling any brighter.
04:07I thought she was working this morning.
04:09Well, she's supposed to be, but she hasn't shown up.
04:11And she's not answering her phone,
04:12and she's not at the coffee cart.
04:14So I don't know what's going on.
04:16That's odd.
04:18She won't be worried.
04:20She was pretty quiet last night.
04:22Yeah.
04:24No, I haven't touched a drop.
04:28Thanks for checking in.
04:32I took three calls to you lot
04:34and a long, dark walk on the beach,
04:37but I stayed strong.
04:40Hi, Irene, you home?
04:42Look, thanks for your support.
04:43I've got to go, bye.
04:45Yeah, I'm coming, coming.
04:51Hey.
04:52What are you doing here?
04:53Wanted to make sure you were okay.
04:55Why wouldn't I be?
04:56Well, you were pretty down last night.
04:58Well, I'm fine now.
05:00You don't look it.
05:01And you didn't show up for work.
05:02I slipped in, big deal.
05:06But now I have to grab some brekkie and get moving, so.
05:10Good, good.
05:11I'll make some toast while you get your face on.
05:13That should save time.
05:14Oh, well, if it shuts you up, then beat my guess.
05:18I just need to rethink some of these participants.
05:20Swunkard Perry, might be something there.
05:23There's one I met, eh?
05:26Look like he's from out your way.
05:27Oh, he's a mouldy boy for sure.
05:29Oh, that'll probably help him, eh?
05:32Knowing he's got a connection with you.
05:34Maybe.
05:35Let's just hope it continues, eh?
05:38You think it wouldn't?
05:40Oh, no, it's just making conversation, really.
05:43Right.
05:44Anyway, better get on with it.
05:47Oh, let me do that.
05:48Oh, no need.
05:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the least I can do.
05:50He rode me around all morning.
05:52He meant to be resting.
05:57Hey, um, can we sort this out before Mackenzie gets home?
06:02What are you talking about?
06:04Why do I feel like you have a problem with me?
06:07Oh, I don't know, I don't.
06:09I'm just here to look after you while Mackenzie's away.
06:11It's not like we're the biggest mates.
06:13Tonight.
06:22Hey, how's Queensland?
06:25Yeah, yeah, no, the appointment went well.
06:28Apparently my recovery is coming along nicely.
06:32Stop worrying so much.
06:34Tane and I are getting along like a house on fire.
06:43Perfect timing.
06:44Oh, love, I'm going to have to skip brekkie. I've got to get moving.
06:47You can't start the day on an empty stomach, Em. Leah's not going to mind.
06:57I took Dana on her first patrol this morning after all that nastiness with Bronte.
07:01She's all right?
07:02It's good to hear.
07:03I also found out what happened between her and Xander last night.
07:07I hope they sorted everything out.
07:09Not quite, I'm afraid.
07:12I still feel dreadful about my part in all of this.
07:15Oh, don't think of it like that.
07:17She was all right this morning.
07:19If anyone's suffering, it's Xander.
07:22Oh, wonderful.
07:24They'll bounce back, eventually.
07:26Well, they shouldn't have to.
07:28Why did you even tell me this, John?
07:31I wanted to make you feel better.
07:32Well, you made me feel worse.
07:34Look, you're going to have to leave, all right?
07:37I've got to get going.
07:39All right, OK, but I will check in on you later, all right?
08:09OK.
08:10OK.
08:37Hey, thanks for meeting me.
08:39Of course.
08:40Can I sit?
08:45I wanted to say sorry about last night.
08:48You saying that you saw a future for us was nice.
08:52But I didn't realise that John had been egging you on.
08:56Yeah, oh, yeah.
08:58He's probably the last person I should have listened to.
09:00Yeah.
09:01I mean, his heart's in the right place.
09:03So I'm guessing yours was, too.
09:05It really was.
09:06Dana, I would...
09:07I would literally do anything to make things right between us.
09:11But you were so, so important to me.
09:15You're important to me, too.
09:19What are you doing?
09:21I just...
09:22You thought that we would kiss and make up?
09:24If you'd given me space,
09:25you'd know that I'm not ready to give you an answer yet.
09:27But as usual, you're not...
09:28No, Dana...
09:29As usual, you're not listening.
09:31Back off.
09:32Dana, can you...
09:36He is so sweet.
09:38Right?
09:39Yeah, I didn't realise I'd miss Justin as much as I do.
09:42I feel lost without him.
09:44It's because he's your soulmate.
09:46I wish we were all as lucky as you.
09:48Speak for yourself, sunshine.
09:50Kareem.
09:52What?
09:53I'm just saying, we don't all need a bloke to hang off.
09:56Are you alright?
09:58Yeah, but why does everyone keep asking me that today?
10:03Probably because you're usually so punctual.
10:07I'm allowed to be late, miss.
10:09I own the joint, I'm not the flippin' help.
10:14Sorry.
10:15Sorry I didn't sleep very well last night.
10:18Well, I can call one of the casuals if you want to go home again.
10:21I'll be fine once I get going.
10:24But you know what?
10:25Looks like everything's hunky-dory here.
10:29I might just go to the diner and see if I can get that sorted.
10:35See you boys later.
10:37Off to work?
10:38Yep.
10:39Hey, what do you guys think about going to a new bar?
10:41There's a place in Yabby Creek that just opened up.
10:43I can't.
10:44Sorry, I've got to finish off a board.
10:45Yeah, it's a pass for me too.
10:47You should be resting, not going out.
10:49Like babysitter?
10:50Pretty much.
10:51Thought we covered that.
10:54I cannot catch a break with that guy.
10:58Funny.
10:59I heard you tell Mac you were getting on fine.
11:02Okay, I thought this was a good opportunity to maybe get to know him better.
11:05He's busy, Levi.
11:07He wants to get this program happening.
11:09Yeah, yeah.
11:10That's important to him.
11:12He wants to do it right.
11:14Believe me, I get it.
11:15But you guys are important to Mac.
11:17I want to make this work for her.
11:20How did you get Tane to want to you?
11:23It wasn't really a problem.
11:25I'm a likeable guy.
11:27But if you ask me, you try way too hard.
11:34It's just when I thought my train wreck of a relationship couldn't get worse, and then it did.
11:39Well, he's obviously got his wires crossed.
11:41I feel bad for him.
11:42Did you put him up to it also?
11:43No, no, no.
11:44I stayed right out.
11:46But this must be very confusing for you.
11:48Yeah, it is.
11:49It's like literally the last thing I want him to do is kiss me.
11:53Oh, can you stop banging on about it?
11:56You're doing my head in.
11:58Okay, thanks.
12:01Are you kidding me?
12:03Are you incapable of listening?
12:05I can.
12:06I'll leave you alone.
12:07I just want to say I'm sorry.
12:08Okay, apology accepted.
12:09Goodbye now.
12:10You don't have to be rude to the poor bloke.
12:12He's doing his bit.
12:13Yeah, now he is.
12:14Where was he when I needed him?
12:15Oh, Dana, stop playing the victim.
12:17Excuse me?
12:18He said he was sorry.
12:19Now you're just punishing him for no good reason.
12:22Irene!
12:23You're pathetic.
12:28Where did that come from?
12:33Dana, don't listen to Irene.
12:35She's just stressed.
12:36Oh, yeah, thanks.
12:37I don't need you to mansplain.
12:38Oh, I found a...
12:39Wait.
12:40Wait, okay?
12:41I'm sorry.
12:43Irene was right.
12:44I'm not being very nice to you, am I?
12:48I'm punishing you.
12:50I know that's not fair.
12:52Look, I know I let you down.
12:54Yeah, you did.
12:57But also, the whole thing was really crazy.
12:59So I shouldn't just be taking it all out on you.
13:01It's okay.
13:06What?
13:08I can't help the way that I feel.
13:10I can't help the way that I feel.
13:13And I can't actually promise you that I will ever get over this.
13:18What are you saying?
13:20You asked me if I see a future for us.
13:24I don't think I do.
13:28So we have to end this.
13:41Hey, what's going on? You all right?
13:55Yeah, yeah, I'm all good.
13:56I'm all good.
13:57I was actually hoping to sign up for a membership.
14:00Not for now, obviously.
14:01In a few weeks when I'm better.
14:04Sure.
14:06And don't worry about it.
14:08About what?
14:09About me being here.
14:11And I'm not going to bug you.
14:13It's got nothing to do with you.
14:14I'm just a guy trying to stay in shape.
14:15You're the guy that runs the local gym.
14:18It's not like we have to be best friends.
14:23This could be fun.
14:24Watching you suffer.
14:27Is that your brother?
14:28Yeah, Adi.
14:30Nice.
14:31You guys spend a lot of time together?
14:35No.
14:37Not close, like Eden and I.
14:40My brother's dead.
14:43Just leave the paperwork on the counter when you're finished.
14:45Mm-hmm.
15:03Here you are.
15:04Took off without a word.
15:06I needed some fresh air.
15:10Does it help?
15:13Don't worry about me.
15:15I'd not do it the way you're carrying on today.
15:18Look, I know I shouldn't have yelled at Dana like that,
15:22and I'll apologise to her next time I see her.
15:25It won't happen again.
15:27Are you okay?
15:29I know you're still struggling over Bronte,
15:31but I get the feeling it's a bit more than that.
15:36It's okay to say the black dog's got you.
15:39I know it got me when all my friends were ripped off
15:41of someone I trusted.
15:43Yeah, well, I'm not you.
15:50Maybe we should try and look for some positives.
15:54Everybody got their money back.
15:55That's something to be grateful for.
15:57And you got yours too, right?
15:59Showed up in my bank account this morning.
16:01Well, that must be a relief.
16:02I wouldn't say that I'm feeling relieved right now, John.
16:12What's going on inside your head, Irene?
16:22I think the, uh...
16:24seeing the money kind of being a bit of a burden
16:28and the money kind of brought everything back again.
16:33How about I walk you home?
16:34We'll talk this through.
16:36I've got to get back to work.
16:37No, you don't.
16:38Leah wants you to have the rest of the day off.
16:40Well, I really need to be by myself at the moment.
16:46I have to work out what I'm going to say to Dana
16:49to make it up to her.
16:52I'm a phone call away if you need me.
16:54You're too nice to me, John. I don't deserve it.
16:58Yes, you do.
17:24Hey.
17:26I'm glad you're here.
17:28Really?
17:29I thought I was pathetic.
17:32I'm so sorry about everything I said.
17:35It was hurtful and uncalled for.
17:38Especially after everything that you've been through.
17:42Thank you.
17:45I do get that stress comes out in weird ways.
17:49And actually, I think I kind of needed the tough love.
17:52No one needed that tough love.
17:54No, it cleared some things up for me.
17:56I broke up with Xander.
17:57Oh, love, no. I am so sorry.
18:00No, don't be.
18:01I needed to be straight with him and I was.
18:04It must be so sad.
18:06No.
18:08You know, when there's something toxic in your life,
18:10you just need to get rid of it and then move on.
18:12That's exactly what I'm going to do.
18:17Right after I finish this entire tub of ice cream.
18:21Okay.
18:44How was I supposed to know his brother was dead?
18:46Actually, both his brothers are.
18:48What?
18:50Right.
18:51Maybe I should go back and put my other foot.
18:56Hey.
18:57I thought you were meeting up with Perry.
18:59Yeah.
19:00Was meant to.
19:01Tane.
19:02Just wait up a second.
19:03Look, I know you're busy.
19:05Turns out I'm not.
19:07I just wanted to say I'm sorry about before.
19:09Apology accepted.
19:10Honestly, I had no idea.
19:12I was just trying to find some common ground.
19:14Look, I know you don't have a lot of friends here.
19:16Max away and things are weird with your sister.
19:18But leave me out of it.
19:30You know, that wasn't actually about you before.
19:32Tane, he's clearly got some other stuff going on.
19:35Yeah, I know.
19:36But he's right.
19:38I do miss Eden.
19:39It does make sense.
19:40She was your sister.
19:42I got used to not having her around.
19:44It was really nice having her back in my life.
19:47Does it look blue up in your face or up?
19:50Yeah, pretty much.
19:52The way I see it is that you're still family.
19:55You never let that go.
20:02Perry.
20:03Hey, you missed today's session.
20:04What's going on?
20:05Look, call me back, OK?
20:07Mate, I couldn't help overhearing.
20:09What's the story?
20:10Well, Perry was meant to show up this morning, but he didn't.
20:13He's not answering his phone.
20:14When I saw him the other day, he seemed really keen on all this.
20:17Yeah, well, I thought I was getting through to him.
20:19Well, if you want my two bobs worth.
20:22What kids really need are clear boundaries.
20:25Now, the earlier you set those,
20:27the more likely you are to have their respect for the rest of your life.
20:39Perry, listen.
20:41We made some promises, OK?
20:43Now it's day one, you're not here.
20:45You may not be taking this seriously, but I am.
20:48So call me back.
20:49We need to talk.
20:59How's Remy this morning?
21:00I haven't seen him.
21:01He got up early.
21:02Maybe he's seeing someone.
21:13Oh.
21:17Who's that?
21:18Remy?
