00:00I can't believe your boss lets you surf in the middle of the day.
00:10I am the boss today, so I can do whatever I want.
00:13Who's Claudia?
00:14Oh, a really unhappy customer.
00:16Oh yeah, I get it that much.
00:17Do you know Theo didn't service her car yesterday?
00:19If I ask you to do a job, I expect it to be done.
00:22Yeah?
00:23Sorry.
00:24I got talking to Perry.
00:25It just took longer than I thought it would.
00:26He's a mate and he needed help.
00:27I don't like that you dropped the ball, but now I know why you did it.
00:30Think she'll use a different garage next time?
00:33Go easy on yourself, all right?
00:35Line up.
00:36We are back on track.
00:37Justin Morgan speaking.
00:38The brakes failed on a car that Theo serviced.
00:40The accident's his fault.
00:41I'm just asking for a little bit of help.
00:43A little bit of cash to get by.
00:44I know you're going through withdrawals, Abby.
00:46I know the signs.
00:47You know what?
00:48Fine.
00:49You're not going to help me out.
00:50Where are you going to go?
00:51What are you going to do for money?
00:52Are you going to steal again?
00:53I need to do something.
00:54I need...
00:55You can have the money, but I need to know where you're living.
00:58I know what you're about to do with it, so I need to know where to find you if something
01:01goes wrong.
01:05No, I just couldn't be at work anymore, so I've decided to head home.
01:09Where are you?
01:11Funny you should ask.
01:15I'm so glad to see you.
01:18Should we get off the phone now, do you think?
01:20Yeah.
01:24What's happened?
01:26Monday.
01:27Okay.
01:29Better not let JP catch you doing that.
01:31It's supposed to be a respectable family establishment.
01:33Alright, good to know.
01:34We're actually heading home.
01:35I'll see yous out later.
01:39Is that the new board?
01:41Yeah.
01:42Plasma's coming to pick it up today.
01:44Nice.
01:45Can I please ask you a question?
01:47As long as it has nothing to do with the art competition.
01:50Well, aren't they meant to be announcing the finalists today?
01:54Sounds like you know more about it than I do.
01:56I just think you should probably take your emails,
01:58because I'm pretty sure you're going to get...
02:00Not now, Kirby.
02:01There's actual work to get on with.
02:08I feel for her, I do.
02:10But why is she so convinced it was Theo's responsibility?
02:13Well, he was the one who signed off on the roadworthy certificate,
02:16so the breaks are part of that.
02:18Surely he wouldn't miss something so important?
02:21And usually I wouldn't question it, okay?
02:24But we had this huge backlog of work to get through
02:27and maybe I rushed him.
02:31Okay, so what happens next?
02:33What does this Claudia lady want from you?
02:35I don't know, but she keeps yelling about
02:38holding Theo and the garage responsible,
02:40so I've got to get on to my insurance company.
02:43No, no, no, you can't just accept responsibility.
02:46What if the accident had nothing to do with the breaks?
02:50That's a good point.
02:51It could have been the driver's fault for all we know.
02:54She's right.
02:55I just think you need to find out exactly what happened
02:57before you accept any sort of blame.
03:04I get where Cash is coming from, I do,
03:06but no-one's ever going to be able to replace Felicity.
03:10There's just memories of her everywhere I look.
03:14I thought her farewell last week helped.
03:16It did, but things are changing so fast.
03:21Somehow we're meant to have moved on already.
03:25No-one expects that.
03:27It's only going to get better with time.
03:29Look, why don't you go have a shower,
03:31relax, try to unwind, let me take care of dinner.
03:35Does that sound good?
03:38I am so lucky to have you.
03:41And thank you for listening.
03:43It really means a lot that I can talk about this with you.
03:47Good.
04:06Abby, it's me.
04:08Call me back when you can, please.
04:10I made it.
04:11I need to know you're OK.
04:14You enjoy.
04:17Another satisfied customer.
04:19Yep.
04:22Checking the news on the art competition?
04:24Nope. Ordering supplies.
04:25Oh, come on.
04:26You act all indifferent,
04:27but I bet you've already started spending the money in your head.
04:30Not from the sale of one board.
04:32The prize money for the art competition.
04:34Marley, the 15 grand.
04:36Man, if I had all that money,
04:38I would book a one-way trip to Europe.
04:40I'm not going to imagine spending money that I don't have.
04:43That is half the fun.
04:45What would you buy?
04:46Kirby, give it a rest.
04:47You could expand the business or just do something crazy with it.
04:50OK, and she is still talking.
04:51I am going to take a break.
04:53Oh, you really don't do the dare to dream thing, do you?
04:57I don't care about the competition, OK?
04:59So can you take it down nine levels?
05:02Mmm, smells good.
05:06Feeling any better?
05:08Much.
05:10Good.
05:11In fact, I've actually decided
05:14that it's a good thing that there are so many memories of Felicity at Salt.
05:17She's a part of the place
05:18and I think that maybe cash taking over will be a good thing too.
05:23I think that's a really good way of thinking about it.
05:26It's a good way of thinking about it.
05:28I think that's a really good way of thinking about it.
05:31It's funny.
05:32You know, cash was the one
05:33who persuaded me to take on Felicity in the first place.
05:37Really?
05:38I don't think I've heard that story.
05:44Everything OK?
05:45Yeah, just work.
05:47Levi.
05:54I haven't heard from Abigail since yesterday morning.
05:58So?
05:59Well, I thought I made it pretty clear
06:00that I needed to know where she was.
06:02OK, look, I get that you're worried about her,
06:04but she's an adult.
06:09What aren't you saying right now?
06:17I may have loaned her some money.
06:21After what happened last time?
06:24Look, there's some stuff
06:25that you don't really want to know about.
06:28What the hell does that mean?
06:29Look, it's better if you just stay out of it.
06:32Levi?
06:34What does she need the money for?
06:43Drugs.
06:51Hiya.
06:58OK.
07:05Hey.
07:06What's going on?
07:08This is Claudia's car.
07:10Oh, isn't the lady from the accident?
07:12Well, she's letting you look at it.
07:14Uh, no, but I know the guys down at the tow truck company.
07:17They've agreed to leave it with me overnight
07:19so I can figure out what went wrong.
07:20Is it right that you're the one doing it?
07:22Like, is it legal?
07:23It's not illegal.
07:25But you're right,
07:26I certainly wouldn't be the guy
07:27doing the official accident report.
07:29I just...
07:30I want to know what actually happened.
07:32So, what did she hit?
07:34Well, it says over here.
07:38She realised she had no brakes,
07:40she swerved to avoid hitting the car in front
07:42and slammed side-on into a tree instead.
07:46Wow, where did Theo take the news?
07:48I didn't have the heart to tell him.
07:50And what's the point
07:51until I know exactly what went wrong?
07:53I'm still in shock.
08:05And you're sure that she's using?
08:09I saw the track marks on her arm.
08:12And you're this and you still gave her money?
08:16If it wasn't me,
08:17she would have stolen it from elsewhere.
08:19What was I meant to do?
08:20Huh?
08:21Let her get into more trouble?
08:23Did you ever think that
08:24maybe her getting caught stealing
08:26might have been the way
08:27I got caught she needed?
08:29Hindsight's 20-20, isn't it?
08:31Mm-hmm.
08:33I've tried calling her,
08:34she won't answer
08:35and she won't respond to my texts.
08:38Well, she's probably high.
08:39Hey, can you not?
08:40I'm sorry, Levi,
08:41but what did you expect?
08:45You know what?
08:46I'm not doing.
08:47I'm going to go back to work.
08:48You couldn't wait
08:49to get out of there earlier?
08:50I'm not doing this with you.
08:51If you have something to say, say it.
08:53We argued enough
08:54over Abigail during her visit.
08:56You didn't listen then,
08:57so why would you now?
09:12Have you taken a vow of silence
09:13or are you just annoyed at me?
09:17We're fine.
09:21Look,
09:24I will admit
09:26that occasionally
09:28my mouth can take the lead.
09:29However,
09:30I can also take a hint.
09:32Thanks.
09:42Hawaii.
09:43Hmm?
09:46If I won the prize money,
09:48I'd shout my mum a trip
09:49to Hawaii.
09:51She's always wanted to go.
09:54To me?
09:57What?
09:59Nothing.
10:20I'm sorry.
10:29The gathering,
10:30the news wasn't great.
10:32I took that car apart
10:33and put it back together.
10:36Brakes failed.
10:39How?
10:43Calipers damaged.
10:45Pad cam loose.
10:47It was on Theo's checklist.
10:49He must have forgotten.
10:53Are you sure that's what caused the accident?
10:56I'm sorry.
10:59I'd give you a hug
11:00but I'm covered in grease.
11:01Since when do I care?
11:07It's my fault.
11:09You know, I pushed that kid
11:10to catch up on the work.
11:11It was a standard service.
11:14You should have been able to handle it.
11:17He's going to be gutted.
11:31What are you doing here?
11:32I came here to apologise.
11:35I'm really sorry.
11:36Things got tense at home.
11:38Me too.
11:40But I did leave the house for a reason.
11:44Okay.
11:45It's obvious
11:46that you have some things to say about my sister.
11:49What, so now you're ready to listen?
11:50I'm going to try.
11:52Go ahead and don't hold back.
11:55Okay.
11:59This is life 101.
12:01You do not give money to a drug addict.
12:04Okay, nothing's going to stop her from using it.
12:06You didn't have to make it easier for her.
12:09Mac, I'm worried sick.
12:11Is a little support too much to ask?
12:12Okay, Levi,
12:13you either want me to speak my mind on this
12:14or you don't.
12:15I do, I do.
12:16Then stop mollycoddling her.
12:17I'm not.
12:18I'm just trying to figure out where I go from here.
12:20You need to let the girl make her own mistakes.
12:22Mistakes?
12:23The kind of mistakes that she could make
12:24you don't always come back for.
12:25What, like overdosing?
12:26I'm literally giving her money to do that,
12:28so that's not helping the problem, is it?
12:29It's only making it worse.
12:45Hey.
12:47Did you manage to sort it all out?
12:49We'll talk about it another day.
12:51Yeah, sure.
12:52I'm here if you need anything.
12:53Thanks, Max.
12:54We're just here to get some dinner.
13:03How am I going to break this to Theo?
13:06I don't know.
13:07It's the last thing that he needs.
13:09Maybe there's a way we can get ahead of this
13:11before we have to tell him anything.
13:13What do you mean?
13:15Well, if I can come to some sort of arrangement
13:17with the client,
13:19this might all go away.
13:20So, it's all sorted by the time he finds out,
13:23so he doesn't need to stress about it so much.
13:26Just to Morgan,
13:27I knew there was a reason why I married you.
13:29All right, all right, hold up.
13:30I haven't figured out exactly how to do it yet.
13:34I don't believe it.
13:37I'm one of the finalists.
13:38Well, good on you, mate.
13:40There's a lot of good energy coming from this table.
13:42Marley's had some good news.
13:44I've made the final of the Coastal Visions Art Competition.
13:46Oh, congratulations.
13:48That's wonderful news.
13:50The both of you.
13:51There's actually someone that I should share this with.
13:53Cheers.
13:54Bye.
13:59Oh, hi.
14:00Come in.
14:01Did I forget to do something in the board shop?
14:03No.
14:04Actually,
14:07I came to tell you
14:08I made the finals.
14:13Congratulations.
14:15That's it?
14:16Well, am I allowed to be stoked for you?
14:18Because my boss taught me to take it down like nine levels.
14:20Permission to be stoked.
14:22Granted.
14:23Yes! Oh my gosh, you did it!
14:25I'm so happy for you.
14:27Really, I couldn't tell.
14:29You're totally going to win this, Marley.
14:31I know it.
14:32No, I don't know.
14:33There's heaps of other finalists.
14:35Stop it.
14:36I'm going to get you a drink.
14:37I'm just trying not to get carried away.
14:41Yeah, but you are excited, though, right?
14:43Kind of.
14:45Good.
14:46I'm glad.
14:48I do believe there is something else that you might be forgetting, though.
14:52Is there?
14:53Oh, fine.
14:54I'll say it on your behalf.
14:55Kirby, you are amazing and you believed in me
14:59and you were right about my artwork
15:01and you can have a paid day off tomorrow.
15:03Okay, look, everything but the last bit.
15:08No, Mum.
15:09It's okay.
15:10Everything's fine.
15:11She just left some stuff at my house.
15:15Just let me know when she gets home, please.
15:20I love you, too.
15:21Bye.
15:26Hey.
15:29Are you okay?
15:30Hey.
15:32Are you okay?
15:35Yeah.
15:39Look, you asked for my opinion, you got it,
15:41but it was no excuse for how judgmental I was.
15:48Thank you for saying that.
15:53How am I meant to help her if she won't even let me know she's safe?
15:56Can I say something?
16:00I think we both know you're going through anyway.
16:05You need to recognise the blind spot you have when it comes to your sister.
16:10You have the biggest heart, Levi,
16:14but boundaries are so important, especially when it comes to family.
16:19Yeah, I'm working on it.
16:20I just need to find her.
16:21She could be anywhere right now.
16:23Levi, unless she is ready for proper help,
16:26she will continue to exploit you.
16:31Okay.
16:38I wish I could disagree with you.
17:00Here, drink this.
17:06When did it get dark out?
17:09You were pretty gone earlier.
17:12Can I stay here again tonight?
17:15Don't you have a home to go to?
17:17I mean, yeah, but I'm thinking I could do another hit soon.
17:22How much money you got?
17:23None, it's gone.
17:25All of it?
17:27You're resourceful.
17:28Hit the bank a big bro again.
17:31You won't get me anymore.
17:33Not yet, anyway.
17:34But I thought you said it was loaded.
17:36Yeah, but even if I try, it'll take too long.
17:40Please don't.
17:42Just spot me this once.
17:44You know I have rules.
17:46Yeah, but I've seen you help out your friends before.
17:49You know I'm good for it.
17:51Why am I such a softie?
17:55No, thank you.
17:57And I promise I will pay you back.
17:59Don't worry, we'll figure something out.
18:02You're the best.
18:13Hey, mate.
18:14So what did the family have to say about your big news?
18:17I haven't told them.
18:18Why not?
18:19Well, it's not like I've actually won anything yet.
18:22Hey, come on, don't sell yourself short.
18:24Being a finalist is still a big deal.
18:26Is it?
18:27I hope it is.
18:28Now you put that up on your social whatever,
18:30and I tell you what, it'll boost the sales in this joint.
18:33Yeah, I'll think about it.
18:34Thanks, Mr Stewart.
18:36Hey.
18:37What's this about you being a finalist?
18:39It's not important.
18:40You okay?
18:42Yeah, yeah, just got some stuff on my mind.
18:54Thanks.
19:21You're up.
19:22Didn't expect to see you till at least noon.
19:25Yeah.
19:26What time did I crash out?
19:27I don't know for sure.
19:29You want some breakfast?
19:30No.
19:31No, thank you.
19:32I actually should get going.
19:34My mum will be wondering where I am.
19:36You can't leave yet.
19:37Why not?
19:38You have to pay me what you owe me first.
19:40Look, I don't have any cash on me right now.
19:44But I will pay you back later, and I always do, right?
19:47Yeah, I'm done with that arrangement.
19:49But there's more than one way to clear a debt.
19:51What do you mean?
19:53An hour's work, and I'll consider things paid in full.
20:06I don't, um, I don't, I don't...
20:09Relax.
20:10I've booked you in with one of my regulars.
20:12He likes a fresh face.
20:17Sorry.
20:18I need to take this.
20:20Abby, where have you been?
20:21I've been trying to contact you.
20:22Levi.
20:23Levi, shut up and listen.
20:24I'm in trouble.
20:25I need you to come get me.
20:26What kind of trouble?
20:27Please, just take down the stress of it.
20:307 Edgewood Road.
20:32Ben.
20:34What was the street name again?
20:35Edgewood Road.
20:36It's near the old cinema in your mum's old place.
20:39Please come get me now.
20:42Okay, got it.
20:44Abby.
20:46Abby.
20:50Is that real?
20:59It's Abby.
21:00Something's wrong.
21:01I need to go get her.
21:04Hi, can I help you?
21:05I'm here for Abby.
21:06I wish I could help, but I'm here alone.
21:08He said he was there alone.
21:10Hey, you just came out of number 7, right?
21:12You want to make a booking?
21:13Talk to Dom.
21:14He'll sort you out.
21:15Is she talking about what I think she's talking about?
21:19Hey!
21:21Hey, open the door!
21:24Abigail!
21:26Abby!
