00:00We haven't taken our eyes with her since we got here.
00:10Is she really that much of a troublemaker?
00:12Abby's gone.
00:13I left my wallet right here.
00:15So it's missing and so is Abigail.
00:18At the bank again?
00:19Every time Abby makes a withdrawal, I know she's alive and that she has the money to
00:23get through whatever she's going through.
00:25All right, well say for argument's sake, there is a problem.
00:28You're letting it happen by bankrolling her.
00:30She told you to lock the car, didn't she?
00:31Enough, Abby.
00:32Yeah, I thought so.
00:33You don't get to come in here and lecture me when you've been stealing money from my car.
00:36I am going to pay you back.
00:38What is going on with you?
00:40Just watch it.
00:42What's wrong with your arm?
00:43What are you using?
00:44I think there's so much that I still want to say to you, so I'm just going to say I
00:53love you and goodbye.
00:54Hey, Gary, it's me.
00:56I've got some bad news about Felicity.
00:58The funeral's going to be out of town and it's family only.
01:01I was thinking that we should hold something here in the bay.
01:04I think that's a really great idea.
01:07Is everything okay?
01:11The hospital agreed to extend my leave for a few more days.
01:14Oh, well, that's a good thing, right?
01:16Yeah.
01:17Yeah, it just feels weird because normally I'd be on call today.
01:21Yeah, I get that, but you requested the time off for a reason, remember?
01:25You're right.
01:26Plus, it would be good to get a little bit of distance from the boss.
01:29I agree.
01:30Hi, how are you two going?
01:32One day at a time.
01:33Yeah.
01:34If there's anything I can do...
01:36We're okay.
01:37Thank you, John.
01:38It's cash I'm worried about.
01:39Oh, boy.
01:40It all just happened so suddenly.
01:42Or at least when he got the news, he got it from a friendly face.
01:47Not that that changes anything.
01:48Well, we'd better keep moving.
01:51Yeah, yeah, I'd better get to the clubhouse.
01:54See ya.
01:57You sure you're okay?
01:58Yeah, yeah.
01:59I just...
02:00I want to spend the day with you.
02:01Works for me.
02:11Does it hurt?
02:12Yeah, it hurts.
02:14Okay, you have an infection that needs treatment.
02:16Could you please stop acting like my doctor for five seconds?
02:19I really want to talk to my brother.
02:20Believe me, you do not want me to brother you right now.
02:24Come on.
02:25I'm taking you to the hospital.
02:27No way.
02:30You realize you could have a blood disease or worse.
02:33I'm not going to your work so you can parade me around like some pathetic freak.
02:36Fine.
02:37Be an idiot.
02:38Let your arm turn green and fall off.
02:39Go to hell, Levi.
02:40Go to hell.
02:41Stop.
02:42Stop.
02:43We can only be alone.
02:44Wait.
02:45We don't have to go to hospital.
02:47I can try and treat the infection myself.
02:50But on one condition.
02:51On one condition.
02:53You have to come home with me.
02:56Please let me help you.
03:01What time is Gary expecting us?
03:05Whenever we can get there.
03:07Well, we better leave soon.
03:10You're still okay with his suggestion?
03:12Yeah.
03:13Yeah, I reckon a funeral at home feels right.
03:18I think Gary's going to be really happy to see you.
03:21It's going to be good to see him.
03:26Hey, Hope.
03:28Hey.
03:33Just wanted to offer my condolences.
03:38I was hoping I could talk to you about something, mate.
03:40Yeah, right.
03:42Um...
03:45We were thinking about holding a memorial for Felicity at Salt.
03:48You know, you wouldn't have to lift a finger.
03:50You wouldn't have to do anything.
03:51We?
03:53Yeah, there's a whole bunch of people that want to celebrate your sister's life.
03:59She meant a lot.
04:02But if it's going to make you uncomfortable with it...
04:03No.
04:05No.
04:06I think it sounds like a great idea.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Yeah, my sister was always keen on having a festival of Felicity.
04:11Huh.
04:15I like the sound of that.
04:17Alright, I'll get to organising it for tomorrow.
04:19You're sure?
04:20I'm sure.
04:22Thanks, mate.
04:32Festival of Felicity.
04:34Festival of Felicity.
04:39She would love that.
04:43I'll keep packing.
04:44Yeah.
04:51How did you end up here?
04:56I promise I'm not going to judge you.
04:58Did something happen?
05:00Something that made you start using?
05:02What, like being abandoned by my siblings?
05:07Sorry, it wasn't that.
05:10Look, I could give you some sub-story, some trauma, but I was at a party once and someone offered it to me.
05:18I thought you were smarter than that.
05:22Okay, it was the first time, then what?
05:26It felt good, so I kept doing it.
05:28I could stop any time that I want.
05:29Oh, really?
05:30So you're just stealing from people for fun, just begging for money for no reason then?
05:35You said you wouldn't judge me.
05:38You know you used to be scared of needles?
05:40Yeah, I still am.
05:51I need to go to town to get some antibiotics.
05:55Are you still going to be here when I get back?
05:58That depends.
06:00Are you going to help me with money?
06:07We need to take care of that infection before it turns septic.
06:10Just wait for me to get back, and then we can talk some more.
06:22Well, I guess we could watch a movie.
06:23Sure.
06:24Alright, well it's your choice.
06:26Sorry, I just need to grab a few things.
06:28It's all good.
06:29Do you need a hand?
06:30No, no.
06:32Maybe, actually. I don't know what to wear to the funeral.
06:35Okay, right. Well, you've still got time to figure this out.
06:37No, I don't. Actually, Cash and I are meant to be on the road any minute now.
06:42Oh, no, no, no, no.
06:43What?
06:44The wedding dresses. I forgot to return them and I don't have time.
06:47What wedding dresses? What are you talking about?
06:48Flick. Organise them, and if they're not returned, they're going to be charged.
06:52And Cash does not need that right now.
06:55Let me handle it.
06:56Let me handle it.
06:59Are you sure?
07:00Yeah, yeah, we've got this, okay? You go do what you need to do.
07:06I really miss her.
07:07Yeah, well, I know.
07:18Abby.
07:22Abby!
07:23What? What?
07:26What are you doing?
07:27Just looking at stuff. Pimpies are paranoid.
07:30Oh.
07:33There's antibiotics in there. Take two with food.
07:37Well, that would be a whole lot easier if I had money for groceries.
07:42There's plenty of food in the cupboards. Take your pick.
07:44Thanks, but no thanks.
07:49Are you really not going to stay?
07:51I don't need looking after.
07:52Clearly you do. I can help you get through this.
07:54You said we were going to talk about money when you got back.
07:56I meant we were going to talk through your options.
07:58There's medications I can put you on. There's substitutes I can put you through.
08:01A rehab clinic.
08:02God, just stop. I don't want any of that.
08:05Look, are you going to give me the money that I need, or do I have to find it somewhere else?
08:20Is this everything?
08:21I think so.
08:22I think so too.
08:26Hey.
08:27Hey.
08:28You didn't grab the dresses?
08:29Yeah, they're in the spare room.
08:32Cool. You guys about to head off?
08:34Yeah.
08:35Alright. Take care of yourself, mate. We'll be here when you get back.
08:38Will do. Thanks, mate. There's a set of house keys if you can keep the place locked when you're not here and just water the plants.
08:42Yeah, done.
08:43Thanks.
08:45Bye.
08:51You need a minute?
08:52No, no. Let's go.
08:56No, no, she's fine. I'm with her now.
09:00No, it turns out you were right. She was just blowing the money on parties.
09:05Can you just give me a bit more time before you come home?
09:10Too embarrassed to tell your girlfriend the truth? Huh?
09:14That's fine. Just give me what I want and I'll leave you alone.
09:16You know I can't do that.
09:18Come on. We both know that you have the money.
09:21Can't wait around all day.
09:22Why?
09:24What's the rush?
09:26You understand how messed up this is, right?
09:29I'm just asking for a little bit of help.
09:31Just a little bit of cash to get by.
09:33I know you're going through with drools, Abby. I know the signs.
09:36Okay, then you know that I need that money.
09:38Okay, can you just please give it to me?
09:40Has this not taught you anything?
09:42You are playing with your life.
09:44You really don't need a lecture.
09:46Too bad. You're getting one.
09:47Do you know how easy it is to die of an overdose or a blood infection?
09:51Tell me you are not sharing needles.
09:53I'm not stupid.
09:54And yet here we are.
09:59You know what? Fine. You're not going to help me. I'll go.
10:01Where? Where are you going to go?
10:03Tell me I'll go.
10:04Where? Where are you going to go?
10:06Because I know you left the place you were staying.
10:08So where are you going to stay, huh?
10:09What are you going to do for money?
10:10Are you going to steal again?
10:12Yeah, maybe.
10:13What happens when you steal from the wrong person?
10:16Someone not as forgiving as me?
10:17I don't know.
10:19I don't know.
10:22I just, I just, I need to do something.
10:24I just need to get through the next few days.
10:26I need...
10:27I need...
10:31I need to get through the next few days. That's all.
10:37I don't know about you, but that was boring.
10:39Hmm?
10:40The film.
10:41Oh, gosh. I wasn't even...
10:43I wasn't even watching, to be honest.
10:45Yeah. I noticed.
10:47Yeah.
10:48What's going on?
10:50How were things across the road?
10:52Oh, they were quiet.
10:55And how are you doing?
10:58I just keep thinking about what Cash is going through.
11:01Yeah.
11:02It's unimaginable.
11:03Hmm.
11:09Just waiting on those parts before starting the four-wheel drive tomorrow.
11:12Uh, yeah, we might need to boost that a day.
11:15Why's that?
11:16Uh...
11:17I could use some help with Felicity's memorial, if you're up to it.
11:20Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
11:21What do you need?
11:22Well, just help getting the word out would be a good start.
11:24I take it you've spoken to Cash?
11:26Yes.
11:27Uh, he gave us the go-ahead.
11:29He actually seems really happy about the idea.
11:33That's great.
11:34Um, well, Leah and I are standing by to help with the catering.
11:37Yeah, well, I'll stick my hand up for that, too.
11:39Um, just let us know what you need, eh?
11:41Great.
11:42I need all the help I can get.
11:43If we're going to remember Felicity, we'd better get it right.
11:46Well, I hope there'll be plenty of tequila shots then.
11:48What?
11:49Well, I think it's a lovely idea.
11:51I mean, she was a great lover of life.
11:53Exactly.
11:54Even if it meant a crushing hangover.
11:55All right, all right.
11:56Tequila shots it is then.
11:57Hang on.
11:58Hey, mate.
12:00Oh, good.
12:01And listen, if it helps, the memorial's going to be called
12:04The Festival of Felicity.
12:07Bye.
12:09The shop's going to send a courier in the next few days,
12:11and I charge.
12:12Oh, that's great.
12:14Bye.
12:15The shop's going to send a courier in the next few days,
12:17and I charge.
12:18That's awesome.
12:19One less thing for Eden to worry about.
12:21Exactly.
12:26It's a shame she never got to try them on.
12:28I know.
12:29I mean, this was supposed to be such a happy time.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Flick would have been planning a messy girl's night
12:35for the two of them.
12:38You OK?
12:39Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
12:42You can talk to me about anything.
12:43You know that, right?
12:44I do.
12:46I know it mustn't have been easy at the hospital,
12:48having a friend as a patient.
12:49No, it's part of the job.
12:50And this moment isn't about me.
12:52Why can't it be?
12:53Please, can you stop worrying?
12:54Please?
12:56The dresses, they're just...
12:58They're making me sad.
12:59I'm...
13:00I'm going to put them out of sight.
13:15I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
13:19It's OK, mate.
13:21It's OK.
13:32Things better?
13:35I'll see you later.
13:37Abby, what's going on?
13:39I don't know.
13:41I'll see you later.
13:43Abby, wait.
13:44Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
13:45What?
13:46How?
13:49I'll give you the money.
13:51Why?
13:53To stop you doing something worse together.
13:58Why's the rest of it?
13:59We'll pick it up on the way.
14:01On the way to where?
14:02To Mum's.
14:04Seriously?
14:06You can have the money,
14:07but I need to know where you're living.
14:09So there are strings attached?
14:10Absolutely.
14:11It's the only way.
14:13I know what you're about to do with it,
14:15so I need to know where to find you
14:16if something goes wrong.
14:19OK, but Mum's?
14:20Really?
14:21Yes.
14:23Do you want it or not?
14:27Fine.
14:28Whatever, let's go to Mum's.
14:29OK, but you cannot tell her.
14:31She really doesn't need to know.
14:32Agreed.
14:40It's so peaceful here.
14:42I'm glad you're finally seeing it.
14:45I just wish it was under better circumstances.
14:47Me too.
14:48There you go.
14:49Thanks.
14:50Thanks.
14:52I know sometimes Felicity would
14:55turn the headlights of the ute on,
14:58blast music and dance
14:59under that tree right there.
15:01I can see her doing that.
15:02You remember that?
15:10Dad?
15:36Dad?
15:37You OK?
15:39Yeah.
15:52How's he been?
15:56Like that.
15:57Dad?
16:07So the funeral is tomorrow morning.
16:09I figured that we'd kick things off
16:10around here about the same time.
16:12Suits the club.
16:13Good, because I already sent the word out.
16:15Guys, got your message.
16:16We'll be there.
16:17Yeah, we wouldn't miss it.
16:18Great, thanks.
16:19How else can we help?
16:22Actually, can I talk to you for a second?
16:24Sorry.
16:26What's up?
16:27Um, how would you feel if we performed tomorrow?
16:30I know that you said you're not in the headspace, but...
16:33No, I'm good.
16:35You sure?
16:36Yeah, man, that's a really good idea.
16:38All right, leave it with me.
16:39I'll talk to Kirby.
16:41Hey, uh,
16:43how would you feel about Lyric playing tomorrow?
16:47That would be great.
16:48It might be a bit noisy for the club, first thing.
16:51Anybody got a problem, they gotta go through me.
16:54This might not be a funeral,
16:55but it's gonna be a fitting farewell.
16:57Ah, you got that right.
16:58Fleek hated missing out on a party.
17:03Those two.
17:04Even when Cash knew Felicia was wrong,
17:06he'd always be there to stand up for her.
17:10There he is.
17:11Have a seat, mate.
17:12Share a yarn or two about your sister.
17:14I'm gonna head back.
17:16I think the drive took it out of me.
17:17You sure?
17:18Yeah, yeah.
17:19I want to be ready for tomorrow.
17:21See you in the morning.
17:23I'll come with you.
17:24Stay.
17:25It's fine.
17:30This can't be easy for you either.
17:33You and Fleek were friends for a long time.
17:36I heard the stories.
17:40And they filtered back through Cash.
17:43You two got up to some mischief, eh?
17:47I really miss her.
17:49So do I.
17:53He's scaring me.
17:54He wouldn't talk and I just...
17:57I don't know what to do to help him.
18:00It was those two against the world for a long time.
18:04It's not gonna be an easy road back.
18:08But you are helping, just by being here.
18:11It doesn't feel like it.
18:13He invited you, no one else.
18:16Trust me.
18:18He's grateful you're here.
18:19We both are.
18:23You'll get him through it.
18:26Everything's gonna be okay.
18:36Whoa, hey.
18:37What's the hurry?
18:38I need to get home to find something to wear for tomorrow.
18:41I want to look professional.
18:42Professional?
18:43Well, I was the doctor that was on duty when Felicity passed
18:46and people might have questions.
18:47Just slow down a sec.
18:48What's going on?
18:49What do you mean?
18:50I'm fine.
18:51Don't worry, you've lost someone.
18:52You're allowed to have feelings for her.
18:53Okay?
18:54Just talk to me.
18:57Come on, just talk to me.
19:01It's always horrible when I lose a patient.
19:03You know, usually I look the family members in the eye
19:05and I tell them what happened.
19:07It must be rough.
19:08No, it's harder for them than it is for me.
19:10I'm there for the worst moment of their life
19:12and then they leave and I never see them again.
19:15I'm able to put it behind me and focus on saving the next person.
19:18This time it's different.
19:19Well, yeah, because it's all the people that I love and care about
19:21and I have to be here knowing that I let them down.
19:24No, you didn't let them down.
19:25You know what I mean.
19:26I just, I hate that I couldn't save her.
19:30I know.
19:31I know.
19:32It's okay.
19:49I love you.
20:19I love you.
20:49I love you.
21:09He had a pretty serious run in with the cops recently.
21:11One tiny slip and he'll be straight off to the slammer.
21:14I told you to stay away.
21:15What are you going to do about it?
21:16Don't, Tony, it's not worth it.
21:17Come on, mate. Take your best shot.
21:18Alright! I'll go with you!
21:20Peri, don't do this, hey?
21:21I need you to come with me.
21:22Why? What's wrong?
21:23I think Tana is about to do something really stupid.
21:25It'll be okay, it'll be okay.
21:26Hit me, don't ya?
21:27What's going on?
21:28Stay out of it, Rose.
21:28Everyone, just calm down!
21:30Hit me!
21:30Calm down!
21:31We have too much to lose.
21:33What else do I have left to lose?
21:34I'm pregnant.
21:35You're gonna be a dad.
