00:00♪ Closer each day
00:03♪ Home in the way
00:08Hey, Harper, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:10I think she fainted.
00:11It's really not that big of a deal.
00:13Talk about the fact that you clearly haven't told Conor yet.
00:15He wants to be a dad so badly
00:17and the second that I tell him I'm pregnant with his child,
00:20I mean, I feel like I have no choice in what happens.
00:23So this is how the AA meetings are going?
00:25I am not drinking in secret.
00:27I'm not hiding it because I'm ashamed.
00:29It's all out in the open.
00:31What's that got to do with anything?
00:33I am in control.
00:35You know what?
00:36I should have a dinner party tonight.
00:38What?
00:39That way I can show you and everyone else
00:42that I am fine to have a little drink with them socially
00:45to honesty and living the truth.
00:48No, I'm out. I can't be a part of this.
00:50You're lying to everybody and yourself
00:52and I can't in all good conscience be an enabler.
00:58MUSIC PLAYS
01:08Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:10Good evening.
01:12Are you waiting on anybody in particular?
01:15No.
01:17Just you, sir.
01:19You know I can't stay long.
01:21Mm-hm.
01:22But just because you're starting your shift
01:25and mine is ending
01:27doesn't mean you get to skip out on a romance.
01:30Oh, I wouldn't dream of it.
01:32Please, do sit.
01:33Oh, don't mind if I do.
01:39Mm.
01:45The bacon and eggs here
01:47and the steamed barramundi for me.
01:55Really timed this perfectly.
01:56Well, some reheating may have been involved,
01:58but please eat up, cos I have stuffing.
02:03What?
02:05I'm sorry we haven't had more time for this lately.
02:08It's a new unit.
02:09It's been taking up more time than I would have liked.
02:11Don't worry.
02:13We've got all the time in the world.
02:17Thank you for that cake, Leo.
02:19It's delicious.
02:20Yeah, it definitely hit the spot.
02:22Yeah, it's just a pity that not everyone could hang around to enjoy it.
02:26Should we get out of here?
02:28Who's for a topper?
02:30I'm good.
02:31Oh, yeah, no, thanks.
02:32I thought we were here to have a good time.
02:35Well, we were. We are.
02:37OK.
02:38John opens his big gob and suddenly everyone's on his side.
02:41No, no, no one is taking sides.
02:43No, I'm just tired, Irene.
02:45We were actually thinking about calling it.
02:47Oh, I can stay.
02:49See? It can be that simple.
02:52We're just not used to this new Irene.
02:54That's all.
02:55Leah, I get it, but that was the point of the whole evening.
02:59And it was lovely.
03:01But Justin's right.
03:02We've got an early start.
03:05Very well.
03:06Thank you for coming.
03:08Thanks for having us.
03:10Bye.
03:15Are you all right?
03:17I really appreciate your support, Marilyn.
03:20What?
03:23Oh, am I interrupting?
03:28What does it look like, love?
03:32You know, maybe we should have hung around.
03:34Like, Irene went to such a big effort.
03:36Well, it was your idea to leave.
03:38I know.
03:39Things just got weird after John left.
03:41They did.
03:42What was he thinking, carrying on like that?
03:44Well, I can't say I blame him.
03:46It was hard to sit and watch while Irene just carries on like everything's fine.
03:49But he humiliated her.
03:51That is not the way to go about this.
03:53I'm not saying that it is, but acting like everything's fine
03:57while Irene is topping up our glasses doesn't make sense either.
04:01You wanted my opinion.
04:02You know, what I saw tonight was Irene trying to loosen up
04:05and have a few laughs with her mates.
04:07Yeah, but that's how it starts.
04:11What do you mean, starts?
04:12I have been down this road with Irene before.
04:15I know how it ends.
04:19Can I interest anyone in a little tipple to finish off the bottle?
04:23None for me, thanks.
04:25Are you sure, love?
04:26It's a really good dropper.
04:27It'd be a shame to waste it.
04:29No, really, I'm fine.
04:31Great.
04:32Another holier-than-thou friend.
04:34Oh, I'm just not really in the mood.
04:36Yeah, and that's absolutely fine.
04:39I don't get it.
04:40You drink at Salt all the time.
04:41Why can't you have a drink with me?
04:43I don't drink that much.
04:45And I already told you, I just don't really feel like it.
04:47Well, maybe you should have a drink.
04:49You know, you've been a little bit moody lately.
04:51Moody?
04:52I think we should leave it there, eh?
04:53Call it a night?
04:54Yeah, that sounds good to me.
04:58Well, looks like I have to say goodbye down the drain.
05:11Oh, thought I heard Perry.
05:13No, it's just me here.
05:15Is Levi working tonight?
05:17Yeah, he is.
05:20Hey.
05:21Hey.
05:22What time do you call this?
05:24Nighttime.
05:25Oh, OK, smart mouth.
05:27Why didn't you tell me you were staying out so late?
05:29I don't know, what difference does it make?
05:31Well, I'm responsible for you.
05:32We've talked about this.
05:33Well, my phone died and I left my watch at Dad's place.
05:36Well, you've got to charge it, yeah?
05:38Obviously.
05:39Make sure you set your alarm.
05:40You don't want to be late for your first day of work.
05:42At the gym?
05:43Yep.
05:44So, like, you'll already be getting up at that time, right?
05:47All you have to do is wake me up, too.
05:49I'll be long gone before you're out of bed, mate.
05:51All right, I'll set an alarm.
05:53But I'm not much of a morning person.
05:56Well, that's about to change.
06:05John, you really upset her last night.
06:07Oh, right on.
06:08I probably could have handled it better.
06:10You think?
06:11But I had to do something.
06:12No, you didn't.
06:13You didn't have to do anything.
06:14She just wanted a night with her friends.
06:17Yes, and as her friend, I couldn't sit back and watch her ruin her life.
06:21Irene has an addiction.
06:22It's not her fault and I'm not trying to punish her.
06:24Good for me.
06:26But I also will not be enabling it, either.
06:29I am not enabling her, John.
06:32I have known her for a very long time.
06:34Maybe I just have a bit more faith in her than you do.
06:36Well, if it comes down to a choice between Irene's feelings and her well-being,
06:40I know which one I'll be choosing.
06:46Yeah, I was just after a follow-up appointment with Dr Graham.
06:50Today?
06:52Yeah, any time after two o'clock would be amazing.
06:55Thanks.
06:57Okay, bye.
07:01Morning.
07:02Morning.
07:04Love, I'm really sorry that I had a go at you last night.
07:09Oh, that's okay.
07:10I'm guessing you'd had a few before I showed up.
07:13No, it was just a drink with a few friends.
07:17Morning.
07:18Morning.
07:19Hi.
07:20Hi.
07:21Would you like a coffee?
07:22Oh, no, thank you.
07:23Thanks so much, though.
07:24Are you sure?
07:25Yeah, yeah.
07:26I'm just headed out.
07:27See you.
07:28Bye, love.
07:29Hi.
07:30Thanks so much, Mavs.
07:31How are you today?
07:33Well, last night was lovely.
07:35Ah, yeah.
07:38It was, um, it was fun, except for John's grandstand.
07:44And honestly, I could slap that man sometimes.
07:47Needless to say, it'll be a while before he's invited to my next party.
07:51Oh, well, I think we should recover from the first one before we organise another one.
07:55Oh, Mavs, please don't tell me he's got you worried, too.
07:59No.
08:01John, you saw what I was like.
08:03I stopped drinking as soon as everything wrapped up.
08:06It wasn't like, you know, the old days where I used to write myself off.
08:11I know.
08:12I know you did, but then I went home.
08:18Mavs, I'm only going to say this once, love.
08:21I do not have a problem and I am not drinking alone, all right?
08:28I appreciate that you're worried about me, but I am absolutely fine.
08:35Well, if that changes, I'll be here for you, OK?
08:39If that changes, you'll be the first person I tell.
08:43But right now, I've got some tidying up to do and you've got a job to go to.
08:49Yes, I do.
08:51All right, we'll see you later.
08:52OK, see you, love.
08:54See you.
08:57Bye.
09:23Hey, looking good.
09:27So, you excited for your first big day of work?
09:30Yeah, I just thought I'd grab a beer first.
09:33A beer? Not in orange shoes?
09:36Is that a problem?
09:37Yeah, there are two problems with that.
09:40First problem being, you're about to start your shift.
09:43So?
09:44So, beers before work, that's not a thing.
09:46Oh, news to me.
09:47Yeah, sorry, honey, that's not how the world works.
09:50And number two, slightly larger problem, you are underage.
09:55I was underage.
10:00What? I had no idea.
10:04Happy 18th.
10:09Oh, hey.
10:10Hey.
10:11You feeling OK?
10:12Fine, why?
10:14Well, you missed me at 5am this morning, cancelling our PT session.
10:17Oh, bad sleep, that's all.
10:19How's things going with Perry?
10:21We're experiencing a bit of attitude at the moment.
10:23Why?
10:24I guess it's as good as mine.
10:26I'm about to go see how he's handling things at the gym.
10:28At the gym?
10:31Hey, what are you doing out here?
10:33I'm heading to work.
10:34Well, you're late. You were meant to be on the desk ten minutes ago.
10:37What have you been doing?
10:38Getting a beer.
10:39Sorry, what?
10:40Been getting a beer?
10:42Are you serious right now?
10:47I'll see you later.
10:49Perry?
10:54Hey, you should try and go easy on him.
10:56It's his first day on the job.
10:58Why are you serving him drinks?
10:59No, no, no, he came in for a beer but he settled for a coffee.
11:02He shouldn't be trying to buy drinks at all.
11:03He's 17.
11:04That's the thing.
11:05Not anymore he's not.
11:07Today's his birthday.
11:13Oh, come in.
11:15Joe, you missed a nice dessert last night.
11:17Yeah, I'm well aware.
11:19So, what happened after I left, apart from the nice dessert?
11:23Did you have any luck getting through to Irene?
11:26I had no idea it was this bad.
11:29How could you let this happen?
11:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's not Leah's fault.
11:32Well, you could have called me.
11:33Hey, how about she pull your head in?
11:35No, no, no, no, no.
11:36You weren't the one there embarrassing Irene last night in front of everyone.
11:39I have tried to talk to her.
11:41I have done everything I can to shut this down.
11:44Well, clearly it's not working.
11:45Okay, guys, we need to stop.
11:46We need to take a breath because, trust me, you cannot force her to do this.
11:50You both know Irene much better than I do.
11:52But if there is a problem, yelling at her and, frankly, humiliating her is not going to fix this.
11:58When I was taking those painkillers, baby, how did I react when you first confronted me?
12:03Oh, you denied everything.
12:05Right.
12:06And when I tried to talk to you about it, it just made things worse.
12:09Exactly.
12:11You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
12:15What, so we just abandon her, leave her to her own devices?
12:19Well, maybe taking a step back is the right thing to do right now.
12:23Or is it just the easy thing to do?
12:26Hey, I'm sorry, Perry.
12:45I didn't realize it was your birthday.
12:47It's fine.
12:49Is that what you said it was about?
12:52You went to see your dad?
12:55No, a birthday is more mum's thing.
12:58So where did you go?
12:59Skate park.
13:01I figured there might be people my age there.
13:04Oh, yeah?
13:06Any luck?
13:08Not really.
13:12I only went to salt because I wanted to celebrate a little, you know.
13:18We can go back there later if you want.
13:21No offence, but I always thought my first legit beer would be with my mates, you know.
13:27No big deal.
13:30It's just another day.
13:41Whoa.
13:42Good evening.
13:44Well, good evening to you.
13:47Shall we head home?
13:48Are you done already?
13:49No, just kind of exhausted.
13:51Oh.
13:52But before I forget, did you go to Yubby Creek and get that thing I asked you for?
13:57You're very generous.
13:58I know, so true.
13:59Well, look who's back in town.
14:01How are Dean and Ziggy?
14:03Oh, they're great.
14:04Actually, they said to say hi.
14:05Oh, that's good.
14:06I always thought they'd do it.
14:07John, we actually have to get going, but we'll see you later.
14:11See you later.
14:12See you.
14:13See you, bye.
14:40Hey, I heard it's someone's birthday today.
14:56Tane called you.
14:58He just asked for a little advice.
15:00Oh, of course he did.
15:02Happy birthday, by the way.
15:04Thanks.
15:09Your backup's here.
15:13He saw straight through me.
15:14Smart kid.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Mad now, apparently.
15:18Doesn't seem like he's having a very exciting birthday, does it?
15:21I think he's a bit lonely.
15:22That makes sense.
15:25His whole life was just upended.
15:27That's why I need your help.
15:29What am I supposed to do for an 18?
15:31What does he want to do?
15:33Nothing.
15:34Says he's fine, just keeps looking at his phone.
15:37Okay, well, what did you do for your 18th?
15:39Well, it was different back home.
15:41I had all the family over and we did a hangi.
15:44A hangi?
15:45Yeah, hangi.
15:47Food cooked underground, Māori style.
15:49Oh, the best food.
15:51Best time with the family.
15:53Can't beat it.
15:55That sounds amazing.
15:59Do you think Perry would go for it?
16:01I don't know.
16:02You know him better than I do.
16:06I'd help him learn about his culture too.
16:11Oh!
16:12Oh!
16:13Ouch!
16:14Sorry guys.
16:15What's going on with you?
16:17Well, we're going to do a hangi for Kerry's birthday.
16:19A hangi?
16:20Oh, that's so good.
16:21You will love it.
16:23What's a hangi?
16:25Mate, the fact you even need to ask is exactly why we're doing one.
16:28And don't worry, I'll explain it step by step.
16:31Cool.
16:32I'd like to know more about that.
16:34Wow.
16:35Um, okay, well how can we help?
16:37Food.
16:38I was hoping you could organise some stuff from salt.
16:40Yeah, of course.
16:41Just let me know what you want and I'll get it.
16:42Oh, beauty.
16:44If I can pick it up, I've got a few stops to make anyway.
16:45You keen to get your hands dirty?
16:47Sorry, I have to work.
16:48Oh, fair enough.
16:50But you're missing out on some good food.
16:52I'm sure I am.
16:53Alright.
16:54Okay.
16:56Let's stop studying.
16:58He really would do anything for that kid, wouldn't he?
17:00Okay.
17:01I have bought salt.
17:06Oh, God, what do you want?
17:09Brought lunch to apologise, have you?
17:13Oh, give me strength.
17:14Am I about to get another lecture?
17:28Now you tell me you haven't got a problem.
17:33I won't once you leave.
17:35Irene.
17:36Get out.
17:38Please, just talk to me.
17:40So you can judge me again?
17:42I'm not here to judge you.
17:44Of course I'm not.
17:45I'm your friend.
17:46Not anymore, you're not.
17:48Now get out.
17:51I mean it, John.
17:53You and me, we are done.
18:10We make a pretty good team.
18:12Yeah, we do.
18:14Hi.
18:15Don't mind me, just passing through.
18:17Apparently I have to get a table from the chef.
18:19Oh, wait, before you go, we have something to give you.
18:22Happy birthday, mate.
18:27Oh, no, read the card first.
18:29Of course, yeah.
18:46Thanks.
18:47It's okay.
18:57I overheard you telling Tania how you left your watch behind, so feel free to try it on, see how it fits.
19:04Maybe later.
19:06I better get this table.
19:08Okay, yeah.
19:16Not quite what I was expecting.
19:25Hey, I thought you said you had work.
19:27Oh, I do.
19:28I have a doctor's appointment first.
19:30Oh, are you sick?
19:31Is that why you skipped training this morning?
19:32That's just a check-up.
19:33How's the party prep going?
19:34Yeah, good.
19:35Just on my way to the store to get some stuff now.
19:37Oh, perfect.
19:38Sorry again that I have to miss it.
19:40Me too.
19:45Hey, what's this I hear about a party?
19:48Oh, it's for Perry.
19:49It's his 18th birthday today.
19:50It's true.
19:5118, eh?
19:52That's a pretty big deal for a young bloke.
19:53Yeah, yeah, which is why we're giving him the celebration he deserves.
19:56There'll be plenty of food if you come join us.
19:57Oh, thanks, mate.
19:58But I stopped going to 18th birthday parties about 100 years ago.
20:02But you have a good time, eh?
20:03And pass on my best to young Perry.
20:05All right, will do.
20:13Hey, did you find the table?
20:15Yeah, I just put it out the back.
20:18Maybe I shouldn't have got Levi to get the watch.
20:21It was such short notice and honestly, I just didn't know what else to get you.
20:25Sure.
20:26Socks.
20:27That's what I should have got.
20:28You know why?
20:29Because who doesn't love a new pair of socks?
20:33The watch is cool.
20:36It's just, it looks really expensive and we hardly know each other.
20:42Yeah.
20:43You know what, you were so right.
20:45It must be weird getting kissed from strangers.
20:48Yeah, kind of.
20:50Look, you and your boyfriend are nice.
20:54Thanks.
20:55But that's what you are to me.
20:56Strangers.
20:58Who everyone here is.
21:10You say the word hangi and it's all action stations.
21:12I still don't even know what it is.
21:14It's about tradition.
21:15Family.
21:16I don't have any family.
21:17My whanau is your whanau.
21:19It's called a manaia.
21:20It'll protect you and bring you good luck.
21:22I don't deserve this.
21:23Of course you do.
21:24Try and enjoy yourself, yeah?
21:25I feel like Tane is trying really hard to make this day special for Perry.
21:28I just hope he knows what he's doing.
21:30You can keep this.
21:31I'm not your little cultural project.
