00:00♪ Closer each day, home in the way ♪
00:08Came to make a statement.
00:09Oh, a statement?
00:10Oh yeah? Let me guess, your mate's innocent.
00:12He is.
00:13You got the wrong man.
00:15Dingo didn't kill McGrath, I did.
00:17I wasn't there when it started.
00:19Things got out of hand.
00:20And then?
00:21We've got the crowbar, don't ya?
00:22Rory Templeton, I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Senior Constable Franklin McGrath.
00:27Rory, talk to me.
00:28I know you didn't do this.
00:29I know him, I know he isn't a murderer.
00:32His fingerprints were on the murder weapon.
00:34Not Dingo's, Rory's.
00:36I just think we need to support her through this and manage some of the decisions that she's making.
00:40I don't think I can do that.
00:42Leah, I've turned my life around.
00:44Why shouldn't I be able to enjoy a drink with my friends without hiding it all the time?
00:51Okay.
00:52I'm gonna have a baby.
00:55Bring that in.
00:56Babies are a lot of work.
00:57No, I know.
00:58But can you just be happy and celebrate with me for one moment?
01:10The moussaka is a huge hit tonight, pal.
01:13Thanks, Rory.
01:15I'm so happy you two are seeing eye to eye again.
01:17Me too.
01:19Hey girls, what are you up to after work?
01:22I thought it would be really nice if you both come back to my place for a drink.
01:26Oh, that sounds like a good idea.
01:29Oh, I would.
01:32But?
01:33Well, Theo's out, so I have the house to myself.
01:36So I'm just looking forward to a quiet night in.
01:38Well, maybe next time then.
01:40You two have fun.
01:43Cheers.
01:54Supposedly I'm shouting dinner.
01:56Can I get the bill, please?
02:01What?
02:02Can I pay?
02:03Yeah.
02:04You should stay and have a drink with me.
02:06I'm pretty sure it's cocktail time.
02:08Dana's not drinking.
02:09Oh.
02:10Well, I mean, you and Harper were pretty clear on that before.
02:12Yes, you're right.
02:14We're doing, like, a detox thing.
02:16Cool.
02:17I think that's really healthy.
02:20Look, why don't you take a seat and relax,
02:21and I can get Chef to cook you up, like, a healthy meal or something.
02:25We just ate.
02:27Yeah, yeah, I know.
02:28I'm pretty sure Zane can make you, like, a non-alcoholic thing.
02:31No, honestly, thank you.
02:33I'm just, I'm dead on my feet.
02:34I think I'm gonna go home and sleep.
02:36I think that's a really good idea.
02:38Okay.
02:39Bye.
02:40See ya.
02:45You wanna tell me what that was all about?
02:49I overheard Harper and Dana talking, and she hasn't told me,
02:52so I don't think I'm supposed to know.
02:53Know about what?
02:55Dana's pregnant.
02:57What?
02:58When?
02:59How?
03:00Not how.
03:01I know how.
03:03I think I'm gonna go and chat to her.
03:05Wait, wait, wait.
03:06She'll tell you when she's ready.
03:10Okay.
03:13Can I get you anything?
03:20I didn't want this to happen.
03:23Don't pretend like you care now.
03:25You're high-fiving yourself over a job well done.
03:28I just followed the evidence.
03:29No.
03:32This is all to make you look good,
03:34so your superiors congratulate you for solving a cop's murder.
03:38That's not true.
03:39You know that's not true.
03:40Your reputation needs a boost, right?
03:43I get that this is a shock.
03:44No, you don't get anything.
03:46I love Rory.
03:48And I'm not turning my back on him because of you.
03:56Hi.
03:57Hey.
04:00What happened?
04:04I hope you don't mind drinking out of these, Darl.
04:07We don't have any wine glasses in the house.
04:10Can you believe it?
04:11I'm afraid this joint has been dry for way too long.
04:18Well, I guess this is cheers, Irene.
04:22I hope this is a happy chapter for you.
04:26Thanks, lover.
04:27Look, I really appreciate it,
04:29but can't this just be a casual drink between friends after work?
04:34I just want to be normal, like everyone else.
04:36You know, without the fanfare.
04:39Cheers.
04:42Hello.
04:43Oh, hi.
04:45Hey.
04:46Not staying at Sanders tonight?
04:48Oh, I'm so happy you two are back together.
04:50Thank you.
04:51No, no, I'm going to be here for Harper.
04:53Oh, why, is there a problem?
04:55No, not at all.
04:56No, she's making me breakfast tomorrow.
04:58Oh, lucky you.
04:59Hey, you want to join us for a drink?
05:01I would.
05:02I promised Harper.
05:04Promised her what?
05:06I'm...
05:07I think I'm not making any sense.
05:09I really need to go to bed.
05:10Okay.
05:11More for us.
05:12Goodnight.
05:13Goodnight.
05:14Oh.
05:16Top up?
05:17Oh no, Irene, I've got to go to work tomorrow.
05:19So do I.
05:37And it ain't gonna fall
05:44There ain't no point in fighting
05:48Cause the writing
05:51It's on the wall
05:56Hello?
05:58Anyone home?
06:00Justin!
06:01Hey.
06:03Let's see.
06:07Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?
06:09Cause I wanted to see this look on your face.
06:11How are you, Harper?
06:13Pharrell.
06:14Nina's all set up to do physio at home and Ava's doing great, so...
06:17Oh, that is so good to hear.
06:21I had missed you.
06:22Yeah, I missed you.
06:24Hey, so, are things finally back to normal around here?
06:29Hey, finally.
06:31Tell me about it.
06:33It's so good to have you around.
06:35I know.
06:37It's Irene.
06:39Ah, alright.
06:41Why don't I put the kettle on and you can tell me all about it?
06:52You know, I can go so you can talk to Felicity.
06:57Right now I'm the last person she wants to talk to.
07:00You're her brother.
07:02No, I am the guy putting the man she loves behind bars.
07:06Loves?
07:07She said that?
07:08Yep.
07:09I knew they were getting close, but...
07:12I didn't realise they'd gotten to that point.
07:14No, you and me both.
07:20Hey.
07:29Talk to her.
07:30Mm-mm.
07:31At least try, babe.
07:41What can I do to help?
07:44I want to see Rory.
07:46You said he's going to Romand tomorrow?
07:48Yeah.
07:49So let me talk to him first.
07:51Please, Cash, I need this.
08:02Are you ready?
08:04Mm-hmm.
08:09What are you doing here?
08:11I need to talk to Rory.
08:13That's not going to happen.
08:14This is my idea.
08:18He's in the interview room, waiting for transport to Romand.
08:20How much time have we got?
08:21I don't know, about...
08:23ten minutes?
08:32Hey, look, this is my assistant.
08:34She's just going to take a minute.
08:51You shouldn't have come back.
08:53You shouldn't have come back.
09:00I need you to be honest with me.
09:10Did you murder that man?
09:16Yes.
09:23But you said...
09:24I'm sorry.
09:27This isn't what I wanted for us.
09:34You need to forget about me.
09:49Nice to see you back out there.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Did I help?
09:53Not really.
09:54I just, I don't understand why she hasn't told me.
09:56If this was you, you'd tell her father, wouldn't you?
09:58Then you can't make that comparison.
10:00I can't speak for her.
10:02Hello.
10:03Hi.
10:04I didn't know I'd see you here.
10:06Is everything all good?
10:07You guys kind of look like you were having a bit of a D&M.
10:10I was surely checking you out from a distance.
10:12You haven't mastered the lip reading yet.
10:14I didn't realise you were working today.
10:16No, John called in a favour last minute.
10:20You sure you should be doing that?
10:22Yeah, why?
10:24I'll catch you guys later.
10:29You know you can tell me anything, yeah?
10:30Yes.
10:32Are you okay?
10:33Yeah, I'm good.
10:35But if something's going on with me, I would let you know.
10:39Sure, yeah.
10:40Okay.
10:41Okay.
10:43Well, I'm going to go back to work.
10:44Yeah.
10:45I've got, you know, lives to save, all that.
10:47But I'll see you later.
10:48Yeah, you will.
10:57Hey.
10:58Hey.
10:59How's Cash doing?
11:01Ah, things with Flick are a bit rough.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Well, if he needs a boost, can you tell him that everyone at Yabby Creek was singing his praises last night?
11:10Yeah, thanks.
11:11I will.
11:12See ya.
11:13Bye.
11:18Is your sister okay?
11:20I don't think so.
11:22Well, at least she's out of danger now.
11:24Yeah.
11:27I wanted to thank you.
11:30You're kind of a pain, this whole investigation, but we wouldn't have gotten these guys if it weren't for you, so...
11:37Go ahead, it's over.
11:38Mm.
11:48I'm sorry.
12:05Let's go home.
12:18Yeah.
12:42Well, tonight was fun.
12:43Yeah, it was.
12:44We should do it again sometime.
12:45What about tonight?
12:46Oh, Irene, I don't really drink during the week.
12:48Suit yourself, love.
12:50Hey.
12:51Oh, hi.
12:52This is a surprise.
12:53Yes.
12:54Well, it was for me too.
12:55You didn't tell me that I was coming home.
12:57So, what on earth are you doing here?
12:59Why don't you take the day off?
13:01One step ahead of you.
13:02We're just here to get some take-away and we're heading back home.
13:05So, how's Ava?
13:06Yeah, she's so good.
13:07She's gonna ice those exams.
13:09I bet you were one hard task last time.
13:12Yeah, I was a little bit.
13:13But listen, how have you been?
13:14I heard that whole business with Bronte's been really upsetting.
13:17Yeah, yeah.
13:18It was pretty shocking, all right.
13:20How have you been dealing with that?
13:22Well, with the help of great mates and focusing on what's important in my life,
13:28I'm coming through the other side.
13:30Thank you.
13:31That sounds really good.
13:37Zan, this is a bad idea.
13:39You need to give Danna the space to tell you in her own time.
13:41I can't wait any longer.
13:42There's a reason she hasn't told you yet.
13:44I don't know what that is, but bottom line, you have to respect her.
13:47I do respect her.
13:48I just, if I'm scared or confused and terrified,
13:52then she's gonna be feeling it a thousand times worse.
13:54I just want her to know that, you know, I'm here for her.
13:57Good luck.
13:59Hi.
14:00Hi.
14:01Ugh, I gotta rethink these early mornings.
14:03I'm exhausted.
14:05Hey, can we talk?
14:06Yeah.
14:07Hey, can we talk?
14:09Yeah.
14:11I just, I've just got a few things I want to say.
14:13What's up?
14:15Um, firstly, I want you to know that you're not alone,
14:18and I'm here for you, and I'm ready to step up.
14:22What are you talking about?
14:24Uh, the, the baby fetus.
14:26The, um, I...
14:30I know that you're pregnant, Danna.
14:38♪
14:42So you're not pregnant?
14:44Correct.
14:45Please be honest.
14:46I said I would be there for you, and I will.
14:49And I'm really grateful for that, but it's not necessary.
14:51I heard you and Harper talking. I know something's going on.
14:54Xander, I am not with child. I don't know what else to tell you that.
14:57And what were you talking about?
14:59I'm not gonna dig that hole any deeper. No.
15:02You're saying that you're not pregnant.
15:03Why is Harper banging on about being a single mother?
15:08♪
15:11Yeah.
15:12Can we just acknowledge that I didn't technically tell you that?
15:17But also, I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
15:21So much for being ready.
15:24I was just surprised.
15:26Mm-hmm.
15:28How's Harper?
15:30She's okay, I think.
15:33I think she's actually letting herself get excited.
15:36I think you need to see her drinking to understand why I'm so worried.
15:41Hey.
15:43You want me to take your mind off her for a bit, eh?
15:46I'm sorry. Talk to me.
15:48Well, it's just, she suddenly decided to start drinking again after being sober for so many years.
15:55Like it's not gonna be a problem.
15:57Well, you don't think maybe she'll be able to keep it under control?
16:00I don't know, maybe some people can, but I saw Irene last time she was drinking and it's ugly.
16:07She's begged me to trust her on this and I said I would, but maybe I'm not the right person to talk to her.
16:14Yeah, I hear what you're saying.
16:16So how would you feel about talking to her?
16:18Really?
16:19Yes, I think that she might open up to you and you can find out what's really going on.
16:23I've tried and she just gets really defensive.
16:26I know how much you care about her and I kind of know what she's going through.
16:30So you'll try?
16:32Yeah, yeah, I will.
16:37Hey.
16:39Hungry?
16:40Made lunch.
16:41Oh, goodnight.
16:43I'll make you feel better.
16:45How you doing?
16:49Cash was right, I was wrong.
16:51It's not your fault.
16:52No one's judging you, Flea.
16:53You sure?
16:54Because this always happens.
16:55You always make the right decisions, I always make the wrong ones.
16:57Okay, can we not do this, please?
17:00Flea, just leave me alone.
17:10I wish she liked this the whole way home.
17:12I'd prefer it if she was angry at me.
17:16She'll come around, she just needs time.
17:20She'll come around, she just needs time.
17:24Yeah.
17:51Oh.
17:56Coming.
17:58One boutique.
18:03G'day, Irene.
18:04Hey.
18:05Sorry to barge in like this, hope I'm not interrupting.
18:07No, no.
18:10Ah, I need your advice.
18:14Ah, on what?
18:15On what?
18:16I'm planning a surprise for Flea to make up for all that time I was away.
18:22Justin, why do you need my help?
18:24You planned an entire wedding by yourself.
18:27Yeah, I think I picked too early in the marriage.
18:29I just, I'm all out of ideas.
18:32You're one of her best mates.
18:34Hey, I just need to pick your brain, is that alright?
18:36Sure.
18:37If you're planning a surprise picnic on the beach for Leah, why do you need to rope me in?
18:47You pretend Leah's got a shift and, you know, then we trick her.
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:52What do you think?
18:55I think I could do with a drink.
19:01You want to join me?
19:03Yeah, sure.
19:07Ah, this is different.
19:11Didn't know you were drinking again.
19:14Yeah, well, I enjoy the odd wine here and there.
19:21Just the one?
19:23Yep, I know my limits.
19:25And you know what, it's kind of nice to have a drink socially with your mates now and then.
19:37Is that a problem?
19:38No, no, no, just surprised, that's all.
19:42Really?
19:44Because it's as plain as the nose on your face that your wife sent you here to check on me?
19:53Don't you think you should wait until you calm down a bit?
19:56Did you just tell me to flip and calm down?
19:59Irene, hi.
20:01You sent your husband to snoop on me?
20:04You know that I'm worried about you.
20:06I asked you to trust me.
20:09You've been faking it, pretending to support Irene.
20:13I do trust you.
20:14Really? Well, it doesn't look like it from where I stand.
20:17What is wrong with me having a couple of drinks with my friends?
20:21You know it's never just a couple of drinks.
20:23You know what, a real friend wouldn't pretend to be on board when they're not.
20:29Come on, Leah cares about you.
20:30You pull your head in.
20:32You have got no idea what I have been through the last couple of months.
20:37Exactly, and using alcohol is not the way to cope.
20:40Leah, I have this under control, alright?
20:44You're the one with the problem.
20:51Sorry.
20:52Sorry.
21:00You were feeling really positive about the AA meeting when I left and I come back and you're drinking.
21:04What happened?
21:05Look at me, fit as a mallee bull.
21:07Sorry to disappoint, there is nothing to see here.
21:10Our alcoholic friend is throwing a dinner party to prove she's not an alcoholic and everyone is fine with that.
21:15No, not fine.
21:17Do you find what you're looking for?
21:19No, you always tell me.
21:20John, I know exactly what you're looking for.
