00:00♪ Closer each day, home in a way. ♪
00:11Sander!
00:14Sander!
00:17The surfer hit my board and dumped. I buy Sander's board him out.
00:20My mat.
00:21It's okay, we're going to take care of you.
00:22I can't feel my legs.
00:24We're hoping that the swelling around his spinal cord will resolve itself.
00:27And if it doesn't?
00:28Then we could be in real trouble.
00:30You know, I used to have this really cute guy that I hung out with.
00:33Wouldn't mind hanging out with again right now.
00:37Let's stay.
00:41It is Thomas, right?
00:42Of course it is.
00:43Are you going to tell him?
00:44No idea.
00:46Who did this?
00:47What do you think?
00:48His dad seems like a piece of work.
00:50Scumbag.
00:51And who hurts their kid like that?
00:52Is that your dad again?
00:53Ignoring him is probably the best thing to do.
00:55Still cool if I crash?
00:56Of course, man.
00:58Have you seen Perry?
00:59No sign of him.
01:00You don't know what he's thinking.
01:01Well, I know his dad was trying to contact him all night.
01:04What if he's gone back there?
01:15I just don't get why he'd take off like that.
01:17I thought we sorted things last night.
01:20Maybe telling him to block his dad's number was a step too far.
01:24We don't know if it's anything you said or did.
01:27Let's narrow down the search.
01:29What are you doing?
01:30Getting Perry's dad's number from his file.
01:32You can't tell him Perry's been staying with me, OK?
01:35I know what I'm doing.
01:36Yeah, alright.
01:37But there's no point scouring the beach.
01:39He was already back home.
01:48Morning.
01:49Coffee?
01:50Yeah, thanks.
01:53Hey, did Tony say how long our new housemate's going to stay for?
01:56Nah, just said Perry needs a place to crash for a while.
01:59Right.
02:01So today's the big day.
02:03Yeah, I'm pretty stoked to be getting back to work finally.
02:06Got a great team of people working for me at the new unit.
02:09If I see anyone with chest pains, I'll send them your way.
02:11Thanks, I think.
02:14Have you heard anything from Eden yet?
02:16No, but no news is good news with her.
02:19Still thinking you turned a corner?
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah, I do.
02:23I mean, she could have given those guys my address and said go get him.
02:25True.
02:27It's 100% a win.
02:28Anyway, thanks for getting to work.
02:30I won't be late on my first date.
02:31Alright, enjoy, man.
02:32See you, mate.
02:33See ya.
02:35No, that's not why I'm calling.
02:36He's not in any trouble.
02:38My name's Harper Matheson.
02:40I'm Perry's social worker.
02:42He missed his appointment yesterday.
02:43I was just calling to check in on him.
02:46Oh, OK.
02:47I'll keep trying.
02:50Wow, he's a charmer.
02:51What did he say?
02:52Perry hasn't been home for the last couple of nights.
02:54Well, that's good, but we still don't know where to find him.
02:57What's going on?
02:58Perry was gone this morning.
02:59Did you hear him at all?
03:01Nah.
03:02I can help you look for him, though.
03:04That'll be good. Thanks, man.
03:05Alright.
03:19Hey.
03:32Hey, Flick.
03:36Yeah, I guess, but doesn't Xander work in today?
03:42Is he OK?
03:45I was full on.
03:47Yeah, no, no, it's cool.
03:48Cash isn't even here.
03:49And I could use the extra money.
03:51Yep.
03:52Bye.
03:53Bye.
04:07Does it feel good to have this off?
04:09Yeah.
04:10It's good to know I don't have any fractures.
04:12Right?
04:13It still doesn't explain why I can't feel my legs.
04:16OK.
04:17It is alright to be scared.
04:19But you are also going to be fine.
04:21I know it.
04:22It's a bit hard for me to believe that right now.
04:24I will channel enough positive energy for the both of us.
04:27You know I will.
04:29Hey.
04:30You know, sitting out.
04:31Yeah, yeah, it's great.
04:33Still got no improvement in my legs, though.
04:37I mean, you know that that takes ages.
04:39It could be months.
04:41I wish I could go back to yesterday and just not even get on that board.
04:44No, enough of that. We don't do that here.
04:46Rose.
04:47Your brother has not touched his breakfast.
04:49Mate, those eggs would stick to the wall.
04:51Yeah, I can confirm that they do.
04:53You know what would be really good, Rose?
04:55A little bit of pizza from Salt.
04:58Did you just ask my sister to go and get you pizza for breakfast?
05:01Yeah, I was asking her to buy you pizza for breakfast.
05:03She's going to be there, though.
05:04I'll take a veggie supreme.
05:05What, like now?
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yeah, we're losing him.
05:08We're losing him.
05:09Go, go.
05:10OK, back soon, I guess.
05:14You're ridiculous, you know that?
05:15Yeah, but it is my job to look after you.
05:40Hey, you alright?
05:41Can I have my bag back?
05:42Sure.
05:43Once you let Tane know where you are...
05:45I'm not telling him anything.
05:46He just wants to know you're OK.
05:48Well, you've seen me, so you go tell him.
05:50We both know that's not good enough.
05:53I've got an idea.
05:55You explain to Tane why you ran off this time,
05:57and then you can do whatever you like.
06:00It's a no-brainer if you ask me.
06:02I'm not even going to say hello.
06:04Oh, hello.
06:06It's your first day, isn't it?
06:07Welcome back.
06:10What's going on with you?
06:12Oh, just, um...
06:14You know, when you're scared you're not going to walk again,
06:16so then you're just questioning your whole future,
06:18and the people that are supposed to love you are awful to you.
06:20Why?
06:21Because they don't love you.
06:22They don't love you.
06:23Why?
06:24Because they don't love you.
06:25Why?
06:26Because they don't love you.
06:27Why?
06:28Because they don't love you.
06:29Why?
06:30Because the people that are supposed to love you are awful to you.
06:31What?
06:32So...
06:33Well, that would be a lot, wouldn't it?
06:34Dana, what is going on?
06:35Are you okay?
06:36Have a good day.
06:37Dana.
06:38Dana.
06:39Dana.
06:40You're a hard man to track down.
06:42Dad!
06:43Hey, son.
06:45What are you doing here?
06:47You haven't been returning my calls.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Life's been kind of crazy.
06:51Well, that's one way to put it.
06:52Went round your place to see if everything was okay.
06:54Oh, you spoke to Imogen?
06:55She certainly had a bit to say.
06:57So why didn't you tell me your marriage was over?
07:13Coffee's great.
07:14Amazing.
07:15Just as long as we can talk.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Yeah, of course.
07:19Hello.
07:20You back at work?
07:21Yeah, yeah.
07:22Sure am.
07:23And it's not every day your dad turns up in town to surprise you.
07:24Oh, hello.
07:25Gosh, look at you two.
07:26Couple of heartbreakers.
07:28Let's see where you got your good looks from.
07:30Yeah, right.
07:31Well, that's a much more of a compliment for me than it is for my boyfriend, Sonny.
07:35Marilyn, I'll have my usual.
07:36And Dad will have the same.
07:37Okay.
07:38I'll see you soon.
07:41Look, I'm sorry you won't get to meet Mackenzie.
07:43That's my fault for letting her out now, son.
07:46Nah, it's mine for never getting back to you.
07:49Are you happy?
07:51That's all I care about.
07:53Yeah.
07:56Mackenzie's the one I'm meant to be with.
07:59If I could go back, I'd make the same choice.
08:02You just wish it hadn't happened the way it did.
08:05I mean, obviously that's the part I struggle with most.
08:10How do you do it?
08:12Knowing you hurt someone you care about so badly.
08:18Where'd Molly find him?
08:20Down at the boat ramp.
08:21Well, he can breathe now.
08:22Yeah, I still don't know if Perry wants to borrow me though.
08:25You're going to do everything you can to get his trust back.
08:28That's who you are. Tell me I'm wrong.
08:30He's a good kid.
08:32He deserves to have someone sticking by him.
08:35I actually came to find you because I need to talk to you about something.
08:39Oh, sure. What's up?
08:41Well, I...
08:42Hey!
08:43Sorry, can this wait?
08:44Yeah, of course.
08:48Thanks, babe.
08:53Get it over with.
08:55You're not in trouble, okay?
08:57Why'd you take off without saying anything?
08:59Well, when I wasn't answering my dad's text last night, he got really mad.
09:03He just kept calling and texting me.
09:05That's why I told you to turn your phone off.
09:07You don't understand.
09:09He said he was coming to find me.
09:12I panicked.
09:14Right.
09:15Well, let's make a deal, okay?
09:17The next time he threatens you, don't disappear.
09:19Don't disappear. You come to me.
09:21We'll sort it out.
09:23Does that mean you still want me to stay?
09:25Of course you can stay.
09:27Do we have a deal?
09:31Alright, good.
09:33Let's get to work, yeah?
09:50And I will find you out.
09:54I'm back.
09:55And I risked life and limb to get you this.
09:57This is your favourite.
09:58I don't want juice.
10:00Okay.
10:02Where's Rose?
10:03She'd fly to Italy for this pizza.
10:06Look, I know you're just trying to help, but I don't want you to be my nurse.
10:08I want someone else.
10:10You're my ex.
10:11You shouldn't be the one looking after me.
10:13Well, it's not really a drive-thru, so you don't get to make orders.
10:16You haven't wanted anything to do with me.
10:18Yeah, no I do.
10:19And you're still complaining.
10:21They say women are indecisive.
10:25Am I really making you uncomfortable?
10:27That's not an offer to switch, by the way.
10:28I'm just, I'm asking.
10:33I don't want you to see me like this.
10:38You're going to get there.
10:41And I'm going to chase up that sister of yours.
10:45You know, no other nurse would go to this much trouble.
10:47Just saying.
10:52Sorry about the way we are slammed today.
10:54No, it's all good.
10:56Nope, put it away.
10:57Just tell Xander we're thinking of him.
10:59Thanks, I will.
11:01Hey, how's Cash going at Mangrove River?
11:03Good, I think.
11:04Have you ever been there?
11:06Nah, thankfully.
11:07It's got a terrible reputation.
11:08Yeah, I know.
11:10And Cash can't get enough of the place.
11:12He has gone in on his day off.
11:14Did he say why?
11:15Is there an active investigation?
11:17I mean, I guess if you count the investigation into the murder of the cop that he's replacing, then yeah.
11:21So now Cash is looking for answers?
11:23Yeah, and I just, I'm a bit worried about him, that's all.
11:25I'm sure he's not going to do anything stupid.
11:27Yeah, yeah, I hope you're right.
11:29You should get this to Xander before it gets cold.
11:31Yeah, it's ending my life.
11:32I will.
11:33Brothers, am I right?
11:34I know how to stress you out.
11:36Oh yeah.
11:37See ya.
11:38Bye.
11:40Look, it never would have been worse for me to stay in an unhappy marriage.
11:44Still, I shouldn't have lied.
11:45I just, I couldn't face hurting your mum.
11:48That's the thing, Dad.
11:49I wasn't in an unhappy marriage.
11:52Meeting Mackenzie, just the way I felt about her, it just blindsided me.
11:57She must be one hell of a woman.
11:58She is.
12:00Still, it doesn't change the fact that I really hurt Imogen.
12:03Tell me something.
12:05If you knocked on Imogen's door and asked her to take you back, what do you think would happen?
12:09She'd find the closest thing she could and throw it at my head, and I'd deserve it.
12:12You think that'd stop her hurting?
12:14No.
12:15What about your guilt?
12:17Would it take that away?
12:18No.
12:19That's exactly how I felt after your mother and I split up.
12:23I hated that I hurt her and you kids.
12:26There was nothing I could do to change that.
12:28And the shame and the guilt put pressure on my new relationship.
12:31I think they ruined that too.
12:34How'd you move past it?
12:37Eventually, I realised I had to let it go.
12:39Just like that.
12:41Didn't say it was easy, but I had to make a decision.
12:44Did I want to be happy with the woman I was in love with?
12:47Or stay hung up on a relationship that was broken?
12:52See, if you care about Mackenzie as much as you say you do,
12:55you're going to have to find a way to move on, mate.
13:09Um, that'll be enough of that for me.
13:11Relax, there's heaps.
13:13Good. OK, this is what we like to see.
13:15You know, sucking up to the nurses from the start.
13:17If you give me boxed chocolates when you leave, it's kind of pointless,
13:19because I can't be nice to you if you're gone.
13:21Oh, yeah, because I'm sure you're really horrible to all your patients.
13:24You don't know that. Maybe you're just extra special.
13:27Anyway, I'm going to step out for a sec and organise a few days off with Sarge.
13:31Oh, you don't need to do that.
13:33Yeah, I do.
13:36OK, well, I'm really hungry.
13:37Um, so I'm going to get a piece of pizza.
13:42Did you feel that?
13:44I did.
13:46OK, press against my hand.
13:52All right, then go the other way.
13:55Oh, thank God.
13:57I told you. Did I not tell you? I totally told him.
14:08Oh.
14:22Keep it up.
14:25Keep it up.
14:28That's it.
14:30Boom.
14:35Higher. Higher.
14:37That's it.
14:59You say you don't have any of the other family, but you do.
15:03You're part of a rich culture that runs through your DNA.
15:08That rākau in your hand, this taiaha, it connects us with our whakapapa.
15:16Our family tree.
15:18Our ancestors.
15:20And they are with us always.
15:25You'll understand in time.
15:28All right, take a break, grab you some water. I need to talk to Harper.
15:33That looks like progress.
15:35Yeah, I think we're getting there.
15:38You're a natural mentor.
15:40You were right, though. This gig's pretty full on.
15:43It is, but you seem to be doing OK.
15:46Oh, thanks. Just means I won't have much time to do anything else.
15:49Hey, I almost forgot. You wanted to talk to me about something?
15:54Ah, all good. Just checking in.
16:05Hey.
16:06Hey.
16:07So I have notified the neuro team and Bree that you've had feeling returned to your legs.
16:12So they will be along in a bit.
16:15Guys, what's going on?
16:17Alexander had some feeling returned to his legs.
16:19Really? How did this happen?
16:22Obviously the swelling's gone down. He's going to need another assessment.
16:25But yeah, it's amazing.
16:27And then Dana tried to kiss me.
16:29What, are you two getting back together again?
16:31Maybe.
16:32Oh, OK. I'm going to leave you two to sort it out.
16:37OK.
16:39So, what does maybe mean?
16:42Maybe means that we should focus on your recovery.
16:45Is that what you were doing when you kissed me?
16:47No, sort of involuntary.
16:49Dana, the child's fine. Can you come here?
16:58I know that I hurt you.
17:02And I am so sorry.
17:03But I promise, if you give me another chance, I will always listen to you.
17:10I need to know that you have my back.
17:12I do.
17:14But you can't keep running away every time I make a mistake.
17:18I'd be super fit if that was the case.
17:21Probably, yeah.
17:25Please, can we try again?
17:33OK.
17:52Nice design.
17:54Thanks.
17:55You're a river boy now. What do you want on the payroll?
17:58I didn't sign up to a gang. I made someone a board.
18:00You know what's more than that.
18:01The person with the money picks the design. That's how business works.
18:04Well, maybe you should be a bit more choosy about who your customers are.
18:07You dumped me, remember?
18:09What I do doesn't concern you now.
18:22Yeah, Dad's dying to meet you too.
18:26No, we're not coming to Salt.
18:29Because if Eden is working and me and Dad walk in there, she will burn your restaurant to the ground.
18:38I thought you would have understood that, you of all people.
18:45I just need to make sure that Eden doesn't find out Dad is here.
18:50Here we go.
18:51Thank you. Cheers.
18:53Hey, how are you settling in? Working back here?
18:54Ah, my bestie is the boss and I get free pizza so I can't complain.
18:58Nice one.
18:59He does let me know if I need anything else.
19:00Sweet.
19:01You feel like a feed? I reckon you earned it.
19:04Yeah.
19:22Done.
19:25I blocked my Dad.
19:28I hope you don't feel pressured by me to do that.
19:30No, not at all. This was my choice.
19:33But that means you're stuck with me because I kind of got nowhere else to go.
19:38Hey, like I said mate, you're welcome to stay at my place as long as you need.
19:41Yeah.
19:44Alright.
19:54Thanks.
20:15Mr Stewart.
20:16Hey.
20:18I already told you, you don't want to be doing business with this lot.
20:21I took an order for a customer, that's all.
20:24Look, I know you were friends with Dean.
20:26Still am.
20:27And that's fair enough. But the majority of this lot are nothing but trouble.
20:31Do yourself a favour, eh? Steer clear of them.
20:33As soon as I get rid of the board, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
20:36What do I do?
20:50Aiden!
20:55What the hell is Dad doing here?
20:57Ow!
20:58No!
21:07So, you didn't know that she moved here?
21:09No, Leo didn't tell me that one.
21:11You should talk to him. You haven't seen him in years.
21:13There's a reason I haven't seen him. I hate him.
21:15Well, it hurts. I mean, she's my daughter.
21:17She could find a way to forgive you.
21:19We can always hope.
21:20I would do anything to have five more minutes with my dad.
21:23You want me to have five minutes with my father again?
21:26Aiden.
21:27I never want to see you again!
21:36AIDEN!
