00:00I've got a meeting. That is if my client actually shows up.
00:11I never actually asked you what you did for a living.
00:13I guess we have better things to do.
00:15I'm just about to have a meeting with my lawyer.
00:17I hope it goes well. I'll see you at 1pm for your check in?
00:19Yep. Can't wait.
00:21We want the shortest sentence possible. That's where I come in.
00:23You need to take this meeting somewhere else.
00:26This is about last night. You don't want your one night stand in your restaurant.
00:29Felicity's just a little uncomfortable. I'm her ex-husband.
00:32I told you to stop getting involved.
00:34I wasn't trying to get involved.
00:36Then why is your very next move to jump into bed with my lawyer?
00:38I didn't know that he was your lawyer.
00:40So it's just a coincidence, is it?
00:41Yes. It's not just that he's your lawyer, is it?
00:43You're upset that I slept with someone else.
00:45You know what, Felicity? Just get out. Go.
00:48No, no, no, no, no.
00:50Dammit.
00:51You've breached your bowel conditions.
00:53I thought you were meeting your lawyer.
00:55Turned out to be more complicated than I thought.
00:57I've got one reason why I shouldn't arrest you.
01:02Nice set out there.
01:04Yeah.
01:05I'm almost tempted to go back out.
01:08You worrying about your exam tomorrow?
01:10Trying not to.
01:11Yeah, well, it's your last one. Wouldn't blame you if you are.
01:15I just want it to be over with.
01:17One last push, you'll be done.
01:19Hopefully.
01:21I just want to be finished with it all and finally be a legit mechanic.
01:24Which will be great.
01:27Graduating tape means more responsibility at work.
01:29How are you going to handle that?
01:30Can you just let me get through this first exam
01:32before you start loading me up with more responsibilities?
01:34Sorry, I didn't mean to.
01:36Just one thing at a time.
01:37Right now, I need to eat.
01:45Still thinking about Tane?
01:47It's hard not to.
01:49And yes, in an ideal world, he's not my problem.
01:51But he's your ex. And you care.
01:55Like I said, all he has to do is keep showing up
01:57and leave the rest to me.
02:01So, um, I know you said last night was a one-off, but...
02:05I think because of what's gone on today,
02:09we should definitely leave it at that.
02:15Don't you?
02:17Can't blame a man for trying.
02:21Felicity, have you seen Tane?
02:23Why? What's happened?
02:25Sonia's agreed to testify in court on his path.
02:28She said yes? That's amazing!
02:31Finally, something's going right.
02:32Thank you for doing that.
02:33It's going to make a huge difference in Tane's case.
02:35Yeah, that's what I thought.
02:36So, do you know where he is?
02:38Uh, gym. Last time I checked.
02:39Oh, of course. I should have tried there first.
02:41Just a heads up, he might not be in the best mood.
02:44Oh, he will be once he hears this.
02:46Yeah.
02:48This is good, right?
02:50This is really good.
02:51Having the mother of a baby on our side,
02:54it's exactly what we need.
03:12Alright, let's start again.
03:14Why did you miss your appointment?
03:16Told you, I got caught up.
03:18Doing what?
03:20Do you think I'm a pushover, is that it?
03:22No, what?
03:23Then start talking.
03:27Come on, Tane, help me out here.
03:30Did your car break down?
03:32Did you get held up at work?
03:34No.
03:35Then were you sick?
03:36Give me something, anything.
03:38Look, I know I messed up, OK, and I'm sorry.
03:40Can't we just leave it at that?
03:41No, we can't.
03:42Well, I turned up.
03:44I don't do favours for friends,
03:45especially ones that can't even be bothered to give me an explanation.
03:51Well, if you won't explain it to me,
03:53then you can explain it to the magistrate.
03:56Are you for real?
03:57100%.
04:09So, how much of a difference could Sonia make?
04:14Tane's case will rely on the compassion
04:16and understanding of the magistrate.
04:18So the fact that a vulnerable woman is willing to stand up in court
04:21and say how grateful she is Tane cared for her baby,
04:25it's huge.
04:27So there's hope now?
04:29Well, he's still guilty of kidnapping.
04:31But with Sonia's testimony, it at least humanises him.
04:35Tane is a good person.
04:36He made a mistake, but he deserves a second chance.
04:40And that's what I'll be arguing for.
04:42With any luck, the magistrate will agree and rule accordingly.
04:46How'd you go?
04:47No luck.
04:48He wasn't in the gym.
04:49I checked the beach as well.
04:51And he's not answering his phone?
04:52No.
04:53Any other ideas?
04:56Excuse me a sec.
04:58Hello, Marshal Aldrick speaking.
05:02Sorry, wait.
05:05His where?
05:08Here you go, Mr Stewart.
05:09I'm so sorry for the wait.
05:11Marilyn, you should take a leaf out of this lot's book, eh?
05:13Get some T-shirts printed with sorry about the wait on them.
05:16It'd save you having to say it a thousand times.
05:18You are funny, aren't you?
05:19Goodness.
05:20Hey!
05:21Justin, if you're here for food, it's a 30-minute wait.
05:24I'm sorry.
05:25If you're lucky.
05:26Really? It's that long?
05:27Well, the film crew love their coffee, and Irene's not here.
05:32Stuff that. I need to get home and study.
05:34Whoa, whoa, whoa. You've got to eat.
05:35I don't see that happening any time soon.
05:37Perks of being married to the co-writer.
05:39Excuse me, lads.
05:40Hey, how was your surf?
05:41Yeah, it was good.
05:42Um, reckon we could jump a queue?
05:44This one wants to go home and hit the books.
05:46Two designers coming up.
05:48Can we get that to go?
05:49Absolutely.
05:50I'm going to wait outside.
05:51There's too much going on in here.
05:53Are you keeping an eye on that?
05:55Um, yeah.
05:56You all right with that?
05:57Oh, sorry.
05:58Marilyn, onto it.
05:59Yeah, I've got it.
06:01Sorry about the wait.
06:02What can I get you?
06:04All right.
06:05Let's get this show on the road.
06:07Yeah, thanks, but I'm going to have mine in my room while I study.
06:10Come on.
06:1120 minutes to sit down and eat won't kill you.
06:13No, but it could be the difference between a pass and a fail.
06:15V.A., you've got to look after yourself, all right?
06:18Fuel the engine.
06:19Find that balance.
06:20That was the point of surfing.
06:22Now I need to focus.
06:23You know what focus needs?
06:24Peace and quiet.
06:25Sustenance.
06:26Just sit down, eat, and then, you know, go and study.
06:29I'm not five.
06:30I know how to feed myself, pace myself, and get through an exam.
06:33I know you can.
06:35I just wondered if I could help.
06:37Just let me do what I have to do.
06:39All right.
06:40You got this?
06:41I do.
06:42Won't you hear another word from me?
06:45Tanner's pretty worked up.
06:47He won't give me an explanation about why he's missed his bail check-in.
06:50Okay, I need to speak with him.
06:52Yep, of course.
06:53Just try and talk some sense into him before I have to escalate things.
07:05Why'd you call him?
07:06Because he's your lawyer, and I thought you could use some help.
07:09Can I have a moment with my client alone, please?
07:13Let me know when you're ready to talk.
07:22How the hell did you miss your bail check-in?
07:24You get how bad that looks, right?
07:26As bad as you sleeping with my ex-wife?
07:28Okay, neither of us had any idea who the other one was.
07:30I don't care about that.
07:32It's the fact you're supposed to be working on my case.
07:34Okay, fine.
07:36I get it.
07:37It happened.
07:38Now let's move on and focus on what's important.
07:40Yeah, good idea.
07:41You're fired.
07:42What?
07:43You heard me.
07:44No one's getting fired, okay?
07:46Don't be stupid.
07:47What did you say?
07:49You need me.
07:50And you're an idiot if you think you don't.
07:52Alright, get out.
07:53Time for you to go.
07:54Get out now.
07:55I'm not done.
07:56Yes, you are.
07:57Just back off.
07:58You okay?
07:59Yeah, I'm fine.
08:00It's just a misunderstanding, right?
08:01No misunderstanding here.
08:02Okay, just calm down, please.
08:03Well, if you're going to arrest me, do it.
08:04What are you waiting for?
08:05Just get him out of here.
08:07Put him in a cell until he cools off.
08:10Okay.
08:19Yeah, I'm not sure when I'll be home.
08:21It's still pretty busy here.
08:22Coffee up.
08:23I'm going to have to go.
08:24Just give my love to Theo.
08:25Alright, love you.
08:26Bye.
08:29Everything alright, love?
08:30I have to just check in on Theo.
08:32He's got his final TAFE exam tomorrow.
08:34Ah, good for him.
08:36I'm sure he'll be fine.
08:37Here we go.
08:38I'm so sorry about the wait.
08:41I'd better get back to work.
08:55Calmed down yet?
08:56What do you think?
08:58What's the deal with firing your lawyer?
09:01Just felt like it.
09:02Well, considering you're in court in a few weeks,
09:04I'm not sure that was your smartest move, Tony.
09:06Thought he might have talked you around.
09:09Don't think it's me he's interested in.
09:11What's that supposed to mean?
09:14Nothing, forget it.
09:16Look, this lawyer stuff, breaching your bowel conditions,
09:20just tell me what's going on with you.
09:23Is there anything at all that you can tell me that might help?
09:31Okay.
09:33Then I suggest you settle in, because it's going to be a long night.
09:49Why does Tana have to make things so difficult for himself?
09:53Your guess is as good as mine.
09:55This is going to look terrible, right?
09:57How about we just stay calm until we've got the full story?
10:00Finally, what's going on?
10:02My client is taking me off the case.
10:04What?
10:05Tana fired me.
10:06That's crazy, why would he do that?
10:12Let me get a drink and I'll explain everything.
10:16Right.
10:20What am I missing?
10:22Nothing, I'm just worried about him.
10:24You and me both.
10:27I need to talk to him, maybe I can change his mind.
10:29Is that a good idea?
10:30If he won't listen to Marshall, he won't listen to us.
10:32What do you suggest then? We just sit around and do nothing?
10:35I know it's hard, but maybe we just need to give him time to figure it out for himself.
10:39So just abandon him?
10:46Chocolate biscuits.
10:48Keep the sugar levels up for a bit.
10:50Cheers.
10:52Need anything else?
10:54Don't make me regret choosing to study ADL.
10:57I know I'm being a pain, man.
10:58Yes, you are.
10:59I just want you to know that I'm 100% committed to getting you through this.
11:02Can you be 100% committed to just listening to me?
11:06Yep.
11:09I wanted you to know you're not alone in this.
11:12Alright, look.
11:14I've got some notes here that you could quiz me on.
11:17Yep.
11:18Great.
11:20Alright.
11:21Hand them over.
11:27Hey.
11:29This is a surprise?
11:31Thought I'd drop off some supplies for Tommy.
11:34Can I see him?
11:36Oh, come on. It's not like I can break him out of here with lasagna.
11:41Well, hopefully you have more luck than I did.
11:53What are you doing here?
11:54What are you doing here?
11:56Wouldn't want you wasting away.
11:59Don't want.
12:06Look, I get that you're mad.
12:09But firing your lawyer isn't the answer.
12:12Whatever he and I did has nothing to do with you.
12:16So you both keep saying?
12:19Your court date is only a few weeks away.
12:22I'll get another lawyer.
12:24There's no time for that, Tane.
12:26You're making a mistake.
12:27We talked about this.
12:30You're too involved in my life.
12:32I know, but...
12:33So why are you still here telling me what to do?
12:35Because if you would just let me...
12:36Enough, okay?
12:37Enough.
12:39Rose!
12:40We're done.
12:43Turns out you've got another visitor.
12:49Didn't think you were coming.
12:51He sort of got into my head.
12:52You know what?
12:54No more food.
12:55No more visitors.
12:56No more feeling sorry for poor Tane.
12:57Okay?
12:58So both of you, please, go.
12:59If you would just let us help you...
13:00Just go.
13:01I mean it.
13:02Get out.
13:03Come on.
13:25All these ghosts in my head...
13:28I don't know why I bothered.
13:31Of course he'd just see it as me sticking my nose in where it wasn't wanted.
13:36Again.
13:38I'm pretty sure we're both guilty of that.
13:42What I don't understand is what changed.
13:44Tane was totally on board this morning.
13:47I hooked up with Marshall.
13:50And Tane found out.
13:53Oh.
13:54Obviously I didn't know who he was.
13:58You can say it.
13:59I'm the worst.
14:00You're not the worst.
14:01I am.
14:02Even when I don't want to hurt Tane, I still end up doing it.
14:05What is wrong with me?
14:08Hey, none of this is your fault.
14:09It's not.
14:10It's not.
14:11It's not.
14:12It's not.
14:13It's not.
14:14Hey, none of this is your fault.
14:17Tane's been resistant to getting help right from the beginning.
14:20Because he believes he doesn't deserve it.
14:21Exactly.
14:23You saw how hard it was to even get him to talk to a lawyer.
14:26Yeah.
14:28So maybe he was going to fire Marshall all along.
14:31If it wasn't you, he'd just find some other excuse.
14:40I'm, um, I'm heading off now.
14:45Is there anything else before I go?
14:48Maybe a statement about why you missed your check-in?
14:53Alright.
14:55I'll see you tomorrow then.
14:58But just FYI, I've delayed the arrest warrant so far.
15:04If Sarge comes in tomorrow morning and you're still sitting in this cell, I have no choice.
15:08You'll be in front of the magistrate by lunch and locked up in remand by sunset.
15:12No more chances.
15:14So I suggest you spend the rest of the night thinking about that.
15:19I'll see you in the morning.
15:33Hey!
15:38Helen, has it been out?
15:40A while.
15:42Hey, Bambi.
15:44Time to wake up and go to bed.
15:46Mm-hmm.
15:48Hey.
15:50Oh.
15:52What happened? What'd I miss?
15:54Oh, just section D on servicing and E on mechanical underbody.
15:59Oh, I'm sorry.
16:01Fell asleep.
16:03Let's get back to it.
16:05Guys, I know what this is about.
16:08What are you talking about?
16:09What are you talking about?
16:11The helicoptering. The check-ins.
16:14You're worried I can't cope.
16:17And then I'm going to fall back into my old habits.
16:19No. No.
16:21Dustin, stop. You're right.
16:23We are worried.
16:25You have worked really hard and you've been through a lot.
16:28And I get that.
16:30But I've got this.
16:32I've been making better choices.
16:34I have to finish this on my own.
16:37I need to finish this on my own.
16:39You're right.
16:41All right, well, shall we lead into it?
16:44Right-o.
16:46Just as well, I guess, you finished off all the chocolate biscuits.
16:49Theo did.
16:51Okay, so I had a couple.
16:53It is a couple. Night.
16:55Night.
16:57Night-night.
17:09Morning.
17:11Morning.
17:13How'd you sleep?
17:15Terribly.
17:17Couldn't stop thinking about Tana in that cell.
17:19Are you heading over to see him now?
17:21No, I'm heading back to my office.
17:23Why?
17:25There's not much point sticking around.
17:27But you can't abandon him. He needs you.
17:31Felicity, he fired me.
17:33But you're all he's got.
17:35I know.
17:36And I'm sorry about that.
17:38I can't represent somebody who's not interested in being represented.
17:41I can see why you broke up with the guy.
17:44Too much pride for his own good.
17:47I'll see you around.
17:49No, wait.
17:51Wait.
17:53This is so wrong.
17:55It's our fault it landed here.
17:57Is it, though?
17:59Yes, and you know it.
18:01You can't just walk away.
18:03I'm sorry.
18:04You can't just walk away.
18:16Morning.
18:23Ready to get out of here?
18:25You're not my lawyer anymore, remember?
18:28I remember.
18:30But before you chuck me out for good, I've just got one question for you.
18:33What's more important?
18:35Your pride?
18:37Or your freedom?
18:48Thanks. Thanks, Marilyn. I'm going to need this.
18:51Are you having a big day?
18:53I hope not. Anyway, see you.
18:55Bye.
18:57Double shot, long black.
19:00And a Danish.
19:02Don't have to eat that if you're not hungry.
19:04Okay, I've got to get going.
19:06Good luck.
19:08Text you guys when it's over.
19:10Bye.
19:12I suppose you could take the morning off.
19:14Oh, no, I can't do that to Marilyn.
19:16Oh, we could go for a walk or a swim.
19:18Work is my distraction.
19:20You need to go for a surf or something.
19:22Alright.
19:24Did Theo say how long this exam's going to take?
19:26He didn't.
19:28Don't worry, he's going to be fine. He's got this.
19:30It's not really about the exam.
19:32We just need him to be okay.
19:34He needs a win.
19:36Alright.
19:38Bye, guys.
19:45Look, what's the harm?
19:47I'm here now anyway, right?
19:51You don't have to like me.
19:53Good.
19:55But we need to find a way to work together.
19:57Because you'll have two weeks to find a new lawyer.
19:58I know where.
20:00And judges don't look favourably on those who fire their legal aid lawyers for non-legal reasons.
20:03It's not a good look.
20:05Not a good look for the lawyer who sleeps with his client's wife either.
20:09True.
20:11I'm not looking forward to people finding out why you sacked me.
20:14So is that why you're here?
20:16To save your own skin?
20:18My skin is tough enough.
20:20At the end of the day, I get to walk out of here and go home.
20:23Then go.
20:29Bye.
20:36I had no idea who she was, Tanya.
20:39If I did, it never would have happened.
20:42I'm sorry.
20:50Come on.
20:52What do you say?
20:58Get me out of here.
21:00Then we'll talk.
21:02You got it.
21:19Well, I guess it's all out in the open now anyway, right?
21:22Is this a good idea?
21:24Everyone's still feeling a bit raw over the news of you guys.
21:25What I want is for us to try and figure out a way to work together peacefully.
