00:00Dad!
00:01Hey, son.
00:02What are you doing here?
00:03You haven't been returning my calls.
00:04Went around your place to see if everything was okay.
00:05Oh, you spoke to Imogen.
00:06Why?
00:07Didn't you tell me your marriage was over?
00:08Me and Mackenzie just blindsided me.
00:09She must be one hell of a woman.
00:10She is.
00:11No, we're not coming for salt.
00:12Because if Eden is working and me and Dad walk in, she would be in a lot of pain.
00:13I don't care.
00:14I don't care.
00:15I don't care.
00:16I don't care.
00:17I don't care.
00:18I don't care.
00:19I don't care.
00:20I don't care.
00:21I don't care.
00:22I don't care.
00:23I don't care.
00:24I don't care.
00:25I don't care.
00:27Because if Eden is working and me and Dad walk in, she will burn your restaurant to
00:31the ground.
00:32Eden!
00:33What the hell is Dad doing here?
00:34Ow!
00:35So, how's it coming along?
00:36I just need to know what design you want.
00:37I want it to say blood and sand.
00:38Stuart, you don't want to be doing business with this lot.
00:39Steer clear of them.
00:40As soon as I get rid of the board, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:41I know you're still struggling over Bronte, but I get the feeling it's a bit more than
00:54that.
00:55I'm a phone call away if you need me.
00:58You're too nice to me, John.
00:59I don't deserve it.
01:00Yes, you do.
01:01So, that was a pretty great lesson.
01:02And Xander's doing better.
01:03Yeah, I heard.
01:04It's a good day, right?
01:05No?
01:06What's with you?
01:07Nothing.
01:08Just waiting for a guy to pick up his new board.
01:09Have you tried calling him?
01:10Yeah, I did.
01:11He hasn't got back to me yet.
01:12I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:13I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:14I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:15I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:16I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:17I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:18I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:19I'm sure he'll pick up.
01:20Have you tried calling him?
01:21Yeah, I did.
01:22He hasn't got back to me yet.
01:25Look, we're busy.
01:26I don't have time to chase up customers.
01:29Maybe you should get out there and shake off some of that stress.
01:36Mr Fowler?
01:40Kirby?
01:41Hi!
01:42Hi!
01:43Oh my gosh, I wasn't sure it was you.
01:44It's been a while.
01:45Great to see you.
01:46Yeah, you too.
01:47Are you here visiting Levi?
01:48Yeah.
01:49Are you?
01:50No, I live here now.
01:51Oh, and the rest of the band?
01:53If you mean Eden, you do know that she lives here too, right?
01:57No.
01:58I mean, I doubt she's going to care.
02:00Trust me, she will.
02:02Summer Bay's not that big, so you'll probably run into her.
02:06So, you didn't know that she moved here?
02:08No, Levi didn't tell me that one.
02:10Hmm.
02:16I can't believe you would do this.
02:18I told you, I did not invite him here.
02:21Then why is he here?
02:23Because he went to the house, Imogen just told him everything.
02:26Imogen told him?
02:27You didn't even have the guts to tell him yourself?
02:33Does he know I'm here?
02:34No.
02:35I assumed you did want me to pass that on.
02:37Did you book a hotel, though?
02:39Great.
02:40Great.
02:41How long is he here for?
02:42I don't know.
02:43If he's playing it by ear, I don't know.
02:47You should talk to him.
02:48You haven't seen him in years.
02:49There's a reason I haven't seen him.
02:50I hate him.
02:51Even more than I hate you.
02:55This isn't my problem.
02:56This is yours.
02:57What does that mean?
02:58It means I'm taking my father to dinner tonight at my girlfriend's restaurant.
03:01No, you're not.
03:02Because I am working.
03:03I'm telling you this as a kid.
03:05I am working.
03:06I'm telling you this as a courtesy.
03:08It is up to you if you want to be there.
03:10Now, if you don't mind, I was about to leave.
03:13You're enjoying this, aren't you?
03:16No, Aiden.
03:18I'm hating every minute of this.
03:35Aiden?
03:44Here you are.
03:46I was just about to call you.
03:47I've got all of your messages.
03:48What's going on?
03:51Hey, whoa.
03:52Are you okay?
03:53Not really.
03:54My dad's here.
03:58Oh, I was meant to say that I will finish the rosters when I'm on my break.
04:02Love, you don't have to do that.
04:04I want to.
04:06Nobody wants to do the rosters.
04:09Leah, you need to stop fussing.
04:11I'm not.
04:13Alright, maybe a little.
04:14It's just you've been quiet the last few days.
04:17Yeah, well, we've been very busy.
04:19I know.
04:20I'm here if you want to talk.
04:22I really am fine.
04:24Here, table five.
04:26Hi.
04:27I got your message.
04:29Yes, I spoke to Rose and she said Sandra's still in hospital but he's going to be totally fine.
04:34Oh, that's a relief.
04:36And he and Dana got back together.
04:38Doesn't that love me?
04:39Absolutely.
04:40They deserve to be happy.
04:42Yeah, good for them.
04:46I thought she'd be over the moon about that.
04:48So did I.
04:49She's just not herself.
04:51Well, she's not still blaming herself for the breakup.
04:55I want to help her.
04:56I just don't know how.
04:57Well, that is beautiful.
04:59Is he only picking it up today?
05:01I've left him another message and he still hasn't got back.
05:04Ah, well, you've put a lot of work into it.
05:07Is he a mate?
05:08No.
05:10Hey, do you mind staying back?
05:12I could really do with a hand here.
05:13Sure.
05:15Dad, there's probably something you should know.
05:17Eden lives here.
05:18Yeah, I know.
05:19Kirby filled me in.
05:20Oh.
05:21Well, she might be working upstairs tonight.
05:23Ah.
05:25Sorry, I didn't really know how to tell you.
05:27Hello.
05:28Hi again.
05:29Hey.
05:30Can I please talk to you?
05:32Uh, yeah.
05:38Have you told Eden that he's here?
05:42Uh, yeah.
05:43Yeah, she wasn't happy.
05:45Are you blaming her?
05:47Do you know if Eden's upstairs?
05:49Well, I was just up there and the bar guy said that she's taken the night off.
05:55It's probably best for everyone.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Thank you.
05:59Come on.
06:01The last time I saw Dad, uh, he turned up at a gig.
06:08And we were in the middle of a song and I walked off stage.
06:13What happened?
06:15Nothing.
06:17I left and that was it.
06:19I never heard from him again.
06:21Oh, I'm sorry.
06:23I'm not.
06:24I wasn't hurt.
06:25I was, I was relieved.
06:27Okay, um, you know, with Levi living here, you're probably going to run into your dad at some point.
06:32Yeah, not if I can help it.
06:37Ah, sorry.
06:39I'm sorry that I, um, I dragged you away from whatever it is you're doing in the Grove River.
06:44But please tell me you do not have to go back.
06:47I don't have to go back.
06:49Okay, um, would you mind if I grab some takeaway and we go and eat it at your place?
06:53Because I think that Flick's going to want to come back here with Rory and I'm just not in the mood for it.
06:59Thanks for listening.
07:04People can change.
07:08Not him.
07:10Okay.
07:13Be back as soon as I can.
07:15Yeah.
07:23She came over to mine after she saw you.
07:27She was upset.
07:29We had another argument.
07:31I'm sorry, son.
07:33I didn't mean to cause more tension between you.
07:36She was already mad about my marriage ending.
07:38The sad part is, we were talking again.
07:41Well, Eden finally forgave you.
07:42That's a good sign, isn't it?
07:44I was happy.
07:46She was too.
07:48Now she won't even look at me.
07:49Well, the moment she feels vulnerable, she puts her walls up.
07:53I mean, I taught her that.
07:54Yeah, but Dad, she's an adult.
07:56She needs to give you a second chance.
07:58That's Eden's choice, right?
08:00It's not mine, it's not yours.
08:02Hey, Levi.
08:04Hey.
08:05How are you?
08:06Good.
08:07You must be Mr. Fowler.
08:09Um, Dad, this is Cash, Eden's boyfriend.
08:11Ah.
08:13It's Jimmy.
08:14Jimmy.
08:15Good to meet you.
08:16Good to meet you too.
08:17I wish your circumstances were different.
08:18You and me both.
08:20Would you like to join us?
08:21Mate, I would.
08:22I would, but I've got Eden waiting for me at home.
08:24Is she okay?
08:25She's been better.
08:27I'm sorry to cause more hurt.
08:30If there's ever a right moment, please, would you give her my love?
08:36Yeah, yeah, I'll leave you guys to it.
08:43You okay?
08:45Yeah, I'd see Eden, don't worry about it.
08:48Okay.
08:54Hey, once we're finished here, can I show you dinner?
08:58I'm going to say no.
09:00What does this mean anyway, blood and sand?
09:04You didn't ask?
09:06I don't really know what it means.
09:08The guy who ordered the board, he's in a gang.
09:12And they all get that as a tattoo.
09:18Rory?
09:20As in Felicity's Rory?
09:21Does she know that he's in a gang?
09:23I'm not sure.
09:25How do you know about this gang anyway?
09:27Rory and his mate did me a favour.
09:31What are you doing getting involved with a gang?
09:34Is that really a good idea?
09:35I'm not involved with a gang.
09:37It's just a customer, okay?
09:39Okay, well now I know why you want to get rid of this board.
09:44Can we keep this between ourselves?
09:48Yes, just please be careful.
09:51I'll be fine.
10:00Thank you for picking up the food.
10:03No problem.
10:04I just want to eat this, curl up on the couch and forget today ever happened.
10:08Listen, Eden, I ran into Levi and your dad at Salt.
10:12So?
10:13So I introduced myself.
10:14So what did he say?
10:16He asked me to pass on his love.
10:18He's unbelievable.
10:20No, no, he seems sincere.
10:22When was the last time you had an actual conversation with him?
10:24Have you been listening to anything that I've said?
10:26I have.
10:27You just might not ever get this opportunity again.
10:28So what's your point?
10:30My point is that I would do anything to have five more minutes with my dad.
10:35You want me to have five minutes with my father?
10:37Okay, let's see how that goes.
10:38Well, Eden, come on, Eden, hey.
10:39I'm not invited.
10:41You know, I always thought she'd end up with that Remy guy.
10:44Remy?
10:45Yeah, but they're still close.
10:46She's got a lot going on.
10:47She's got great friends.
10:48She loves living here.
10:49So how long has she been with Cash?
10:51Long enough for them to fall in love.
10:53She's happy, Dad.
10:54Really happy.
10:55Cash is a good guy.
10:56Yeah, I can see that.
10:58That's all I want for her.
10:59You know?
11:00You don't have to worry about her, okay?
11:05I'm sorry.
11:07I'm sorry.
11:09I'm sorry.
11:10Oh.
11:12Eden.
11:15I'm glad you're here.
11:16Yeah, I wish I could say the same.
11:18Levi was just filling me in on, um, you know, what you've been up to.
11:21Just go.
11:22Just get in your car.
11:23Go home and don't come back.
11:26Nice work.
11:28Setting an example for your son, by the way.
11:30Okay, that has nothing to do with my choices.
11:31Oh, it's just genetics.
11:32It just runs in the family.
11:33You're both cheating.
11:34You're a part of this family, too.
11:35Okay, knock it off, both of you.
11:40Eden, I know this is hard for you.
11:43But I need you to know one thing.
11:47I love you.
11:49I'm proud of you.
11:51And that's never going to change.
11:52You destroyed our family.
11:55I never want to see you again.
11:57No, Eden.
11:58No, you are not going to make dad leave!
12:00Levi!
12:02It's okay.
12:07We'll leave in the morning?
12:10Good.
12:23Good news!
12:24The rosters are done and you have the weekend off.
12:27I told you I want to keep working.
12:29But you need to have a rest.
12:31And you need to stop making decisions for me.
12:34Sorry, I won't mention it again.
12:36No, I'm sorry, love.
12:38I didn't mean to bite your head off.
12:39It's fine.
12:41Irene, I'm just worried that you're blaming yourself for what Bronte did.
12:45I didn't protect the people I care about from her scamming.
12:50Please don't ask me to feel good about that.
12:57It breaks my heart.
13:00She's done nothing wrong.
13:02She's lost confidence in herself, that's the problem.
13:05I wish there was something good that Irene could take away from all of this.
13:09Hmm.
13:11You know, maybe there is.
13:13What if I organise an interview with the Coastal News?
13:16If we can tell our side of the story, it can show how easy it can happen to someone else.
13:21Oh, that's a good idea, like a public service announcement.
13:25Maybe this is what's going to make her feel better about what happened.
13:31Sister's about to call you.
13:33Did you find your dad?
13:34Yeah.
13:35Yeah, and I told him to get the hell away from me.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:38No, no.
13:39I'm sorry that I listened to you.
13:40That's five minutes of my life and I'm never going to get back.
13:42Oh, look, I just thought that if you could sit down and have a reasonable conversation with a guy,
13:45maybe you might find that he's changed.
13:46Oh, okay, of course.
13:47I'm forgetting.
13:48It's my fault.
13:49I'm the problem here.
13:50Of course it's not your fault.
13:51That's not what I'm saying.
13:52No, no, it's fine.
13:53It's fine.
13:54You can defend him all you like.
13:55I'm not defending your dad.
13:56I thought that you were different.
13:57I thought that you were different, but you are all the same.
13:58You're all the same.
13:59Okay?
14:00You have each other's backs and you don't even know that you were doing it.
14:02Just go.
14:03Just leave.
14:24Table four.
14:25Asking about their coffee.
14:26I'm sure, love.
14:27I'm honoured.
14:28Irene?
14:29Have you got a minute?
14:30Yeah?
14:31I called the Coastal News and they're interested in talking to us about what happened with
14:34Bronte.
14:35Uh, why would we?
14:36To get the message out there about scammers and hopefully stop it happening to anyone
14:37else.
14:38Yes, and it might be a way of taking something positive out of this.
14:39Yeah, and it shows victims out there that we're fighting back.
14:40And they want to interview us tomorrow morning.
14:41What do you say?
14:42Uh, I'll just have to get back to work.
14:43I'm off.
14:44Okay.
14:45Bye.
14:46Bye.
14:47Bye.
14:48Bye.
14:49Bye.
14:50Bye.
14:51Bye.
14:52Bye.
14:53Bye.
14:54Bye.
14:55Bye.
14:56Bye.
14:57Bye.
14:58Bye.
14:59Uh, well if…if you really think it'll help other people.
15:03The journalist is gonna email through all the questions so we can run through it in
15:07the morning.
15:09Well, looks like we're doing this.
15:11You won't regret it.
15:19Hey.
15:20Hey.
15:21What are you doing?
15:22Where's Eden?
15:23She's in her bedroom.
15:24I'm not welcome.
15:25I didn't want to leave her alone when she's like this.
15:27Is this about her dad?
15:29Yeah.
15:31Okay. Well, if you need anything, I'm here.
15:34Thanks.
15:44Hey.
15:45Hey.
15:48You okay?
15:50I shouldn't have said those things to you.
15:52I'm sorry.
15:55Alright, well, I know it wasn't about me.
15:58And look, Eden, just so that it's been said,
16:00I would never cheat on you.
16:02And I mean that. That's never gonna happen.
16:05It's not you I'm worried about.
16:10Levi said something and it made me realise...
16:14What if I'm no different from him and Dad?
16:18What if I did that to you?
16:19What are you talking about?
16:22Well, I mean...
16:24They never set out to hurt Mum and Imogen.
16:27They just met someone else and everything changed.
16:31Well, they made their own choices.
16:33They're not the choices that you'd make.
16:36And if you ever start feeling like that,
16:37you just talk to me about it and we can work it out together.
16:42I'll always be honest.
16:44Well, then I reckon we'll always be okay.
16:47Hmm?
16:52Eden.
16:53Do you mind if I don't sleep on the couch?
16:55Because I hate all the blankets in your living closet.
16:56They're all scratchy.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Yeah.
17:17You're leaving?
17:18So soon, gosh.
17:19Did you get to catch up with Eden?
17:21Yeah, I did.
17:22Oh, well, it's a shame you don't live closer.
17:24Glad to meet you.
17:25You too.
17:26Hmm.
17:29Well, I've got to go.
17:30Bye.
17:31Bye.
17:32Bye.
17:33Bye.
17:34Bye.
17:35Bye.
17:36Bye.
17:37Bye.
17:38Bye.
17:39Bye.
17:40Bye.
17:41Bye.
17:42Bye.
17:43Bye.
17:44Bye.
17:45Bye.
17:47Listen, son.
17:49Eden needs me to go, okay?
17:51And I don't want to cause her any more distress.
17:53I just don't know how you do it.
17:54It hurts.
17:55I mean, she's my daughter.
17:56I love her.
17:57One day you just decided to stop fighting for her.
18:00So did you.
18:02Yeah, and I regret that.
18:04I realised maybe I could have fought a little bit harder.
18:06Eden gave you a choice, mate.
18:09Who knows?
18:10One day she might get past her anger.
18:12She could find a way to forgive you and me.
18:15We can always hope.
18:26Morning.
18:27Hey.
18:28How's the new job going?
18:30Oh, it's at its finest.
18:31Yeah?
18:32Dean used to tell me that it gets pretty bad out at Mangrove River.
18:35Yeah, Dean wasn't wrong about that.
18:36How bad is it?
18:38What's your reason for asking?
18:40Rory Templeton ordered a custom board from me.
18:45It's not the greatest look for the business.
18:47Yeah, I get that.
18:48And now Mr Stewart's on my case.
18:50Is that your only problem?
18:52Or are you in some kind of trouble?
18:55I don't know.
18:56No, it's nothing like that.
18:57Once I hand over the board, I'm sweet.
19:01Alright, look, if he starts causing you problems, I want you to talk to me.
19:03Okay?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Good.
19:08Hey, Joanna.
19:10Whoa, hey.
19:11Whoa.
19:12I wasn't at the River Boys' house last night.
19:15I was with Eden.
19:19Joanna, I want you to stay put.
19:20I'll be right there.
19:28Um, Marilyn, is Irene at the coffee cart?
19:31No.
19:32Aren't you meant to be getting ready for the interview?
19:34Yes.
19:35She must be running late.
19:36I will call her and see where she is.
19:38You're doing a great thing.
19:40I hope so.
19:41Here she is.
19:42Oh.
19:43Great.
19:45I need to get going on these questions.
19:46Uh, I've changed my mind.
19:48What do you mean?
19:49Well, I thought about it last night and, um, I'm not doing the interview.
19:54Uh, could I ask why?
19:57I've got a lot on my plate.
19:59Irene, the interview's already organised.
20:01You're free to talk to the journo yourself, Leah, but you'll be doing it on your own.
20:15All right, boys.
20:16Let's go.
20:17Come on.
20:18There he is.
20:19Look up.
20:20Look up.
20:21Look up.

20:42Look up.
20:43Look up.
20:44Look up.
20:45Look up.
21:09You're the boss.
21:14We've been given the signal to step down.
21:22This is what happens, Cash, when you push back on the Riverboys.
21:25I mean, this was obviously a warning.
21:26You're going to drop the surveillance?
21:28No.
21:29Neither did Franklin, and look what happened to him.
21:31Welcome to Mangrove River.
21:34Thank you.
