06:20Eden Fowler.
06:21It's nice to meet you, Miss Fowler, and it's time to go.
06:27See ya.
06:32Bring those kids in for questioning.
06:33Plan your wedding in your own time.
06:35Yes, Sergeant.
06:44Are you sure you don't need any help?
06:53I'm fine. My car is fine.
06:55Well, at least let me call a mechanic for you.
06:57Does this usually work for you?
06:58This won't usually work for me.
07:00Playing the champion to damsles in distress?
07:02I'm not playing anything.
07:04If I see someone's in trouble, I don't just drive past.
07:06Right, and you just as quickly do it for a bloke, yeah?
07:08Yep.
07:10Just needs a new fan belt, okay?
07:11I'll call a mechanic myself.
07:13Thanks anyway.
07:13Okay.
07:31My what?
07:34You need me to call a mechanic or you?
07:36No, my phone's dead.
07:37Don't worry about it.
07:40Oh.
07:43Come in.
07:59Hey.
08:00Got you a cuppa.
08:01Why?
08:03I was sorry about before.
08:05Even she's stressing about inviting her estranged father to the wedding.
08:09I'm sure you can imagine how difficult that is for her.
08:11Have you interviewed those kids yet?
08:13We're having a hard time tracking down the parents and the guardians.
08:15Then I suggest you start focusing on that instead of making me cups of tea and going on about your girlfriend.
08:19Don't say.
08:22I'm going to leave you to it.
08:23Close the door behind you.
08:24Yep.
08:24Yep, Sarge.
08:25What are you doing?
08:34Nothing.
08:38Okay, look.
08:39Before you freak out, I'm selling it for me, not you.
08:43Really?
08:44Yes.
08:45Because I love that car.
08:48Well, I loved.
08:48But now every time I look at it, I just think about what happened.
08:52I just want to sell it and move on.
08:54Okay, well, as long as it's for you and not for me, I'm all for it.
08:56Mm-hmm.
08:57Hey, it is for you though, right?
09:00Mostly.
09:00Theo!
09:01Look, I know your family's not around.
09:03And I'm in a position to help you.
09:06Once I sell it and I've got the money, we can work out whether you need it or not.
09:08If it makes you feel any better, we can call it a loan.
09:13How long did I get so lucky?
09:18Sorry.
09:19Sorry, sorry.
09:20It's okay.
09:20It's okay.
09:25Can I get two margaritas for table nine?
09:28Did you hear me?
09:28Mm-hmm.
09:30The silent treatment?
09:31Seriously?
09:31You are supposed to be the older one, mature one, right?
09:35Get over you.
09:35Excuse me?
09:36You were being a tool.
09:37Have you actually thought about what it means to cut down art of your life?
09:39Only for a decade or so, yeah.
09:41Okay, great.
09:41So what are you going to do when Levi actually has a kid?
09:43Because you know that Dad will want to be a part of that.
09:44Mackenzie is not even pregnant.
09:45You can't avoid him at every birth, death and marriage.
09:47I will be singing hallelujah at his funeral.
09:49You know he will actually die one day and then it'll be too late and you will regret it.
09:52I told you to leave it, Abby.
09:53Can you please talk some sense into her about inviting Dad to the wedding?
09:55Because she will not listen to me.
09:59Sorry about turning up your work earlier.
10:00No, no, that's okay.
10:01What's going on here?
10:05Mr. Stewart, right?
10:06Yeah, that's right.
10:07But call me Alf, eh?
10:08Sorry, mate.
10:09I've got to run.
10:10Okay.
10:10I'll go to the table.
10:12Yeah, I'm starving.
10:14I'm not surprised.
10:14You've probably walked 10 Ks.
10:17Joe, how many times have I told you?
10:19Better keep your phone charged.
10:20Yes, Dad.
10:21I get it.
10:21Okay?
10:22What about the car?
10:23I'll fix it tomorrow.
10:24Hi.
10:25Nice to see you again.
10:26Me too.
10:26That coffee earlier hit the spot, so I thought we'd give the food a go too.
10:30Hi.
10:31I'm Leah.
10:32Sorry.
10:32My daughter, Joe.
10:34Nice to meet you.
10:35Oh, I didn't know that Lacey had a sister.
10:37Well, lovely to meet you.
10:38How do you know Lacey?
10:40Apparently she likes this place.
10:42I'll give you a moment to decide.
10:47Well, speaking of, seeing as we're close by Reefden Lakes Backpackers, should we stop by on our way home?
10:51You can flash your badge and intimidate the staff for giving us the key to Lacey's room.
10:54You know that's not how it works.
10:57If work got to Lacey that we were sniffing around, she'd lose it.
10:59You know that.
11:00Well, she can't ignore us forever.
11:01Given how it went last time I tried talking to your sister, going in full pelt probably isn't wise.
11:07Yes.
11:08She probably bite my head off the moment she saw me.
11:11She'll come round.
11:13They ready to order?
11:15Will Lacey be joining them?
11:16Uh, no.
11:17Lacey won't be joining them.
11:19What's the story then?
11:20He seems like a decent bloke.
11:22Yeah, he really is.
11:24Lacey won't be joining them.
11:29Is she a friend?
11:31Or maybe a pasta?
11:34A pasta?
11:34You are the best, you know that?
11:36I know.
11:37I'm afraid to keep reminding me, though.
11:39Pasto it is, then.
11:42Are you expecting someone?
11:43It's probably Sonny.
11:44He's probably forgotten his keys again.
11:46Yo.
11:47Oh, hey.
11:48Hey.
11:48What are you doing here?
11:49Ah, I don't know.
11:50Making over some leftovers.
11:51Oh, great.
11:52It's probably far better than anything I come up with, so.
11:53Um, I was also hoping to have a moment alone with you.
11:58Why?
11:59Uh, I just need to chat through some of the things we were talking about the other day.
12:03Not about me, is it?
12:04No, no, no.
12:04Nothing like that.
12:05Um, do you mind?
12:07No, of course not.
12:08Go for it.
12:08What's up?
12:14So we just had a visitor downstairs.
12:17My dad.
12:18He was with your sister, Jo.
12:20You didn't tell them where I was, did you?
12:22No, of course not.
12:23Okay, good.
12:24It's the only person I want to see if I listen to my dad is my sister.
12:26Babe, you don't understand.
12:31Mum was devastated.
12:32For years.
12:33No, she's just forgiven him.
12:35Oh, Abby says so.
12:36But Mum might just be making nice so that they can both be there to support Abby.
12:40I don't know.
12:40Hey, look, look, we haven't even said it back to the wedding yet, so how about before you
12:43decide anything, just go out and find out for sure?
12:46Um, yeah.
12:49Yeah, I mean, I am overdue for a visit to Mum's place.
12:51Yeah.
12:52So, yeah.
12:53Yeah, I, um, make a picture of it.
12:55Yep.
12:56Thanks for listening.
12:56See ya.
12:58Oi!
12:58Hey.
12:59All good?
12:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, family, family stuff.
13:00Bye.
13:01How was you, howdy, Craig?
13:02Yeah, good.
13:03Yeah, I'm just going to get my head around the freedom and other things, half the spruiking
13:06out of that.
13:06Turns out traveling with the baby's not that easy.
13:08Yeah, I reckon you're going to enjoy every minute of it, eh?
13:09I'm happy for you.
13:11Yeah?
13:11Yeah, yeah, I know it's not the picture-perfect family you always imagined, but, nah, I don't think
13:14the perfect family exists.
13:16But, yeah, I'm happy too.
13:18Good.
13:18Cheers.
13:19Cheers.
13:22Ah, evening, Mr. Alfred.
13:23G'day, kid.
13:24You working late?
13:25Ah, just getting a bit of stuff ready for the next committee meeting.
13:28What's your excuse?
13:29Oh, Molly wanted me to check on something.
13:30Yeah, he told me he was cutting back on lessons, but, uh, I haven't seen him around
13:33for a week or so.
13:34Yeah, no, he's at home checking boards.
13:35He's got a huge backlog.
13:37Is he okay?
13:38He's, he's overworked and kind of obsessed and could use a break, but he is all right.
13:44Well, tell him I recommend a good supply of fresh air, preferably with a fish and rod in
13:47his hand.
13:48We do miss him around here.
13:50Yeah.
13:50I'll let him know.
13:51Good on you.
13:51Ah, did your fiancé talk some sense into you?
13:56Look, I heard what you said, okay?
13:57And I, I won't be making a decision about inviting Dad to the wedding until I know for
14:00sure how Mum feels about it.
14:02Really?
14:03Yes.
14:03If she is comfortable with me inviting Dad, then maybe, maybe, I will consider it.
14:09Okay, well then call her.
14:11Well, no, I thought I could pay her a visit just to make sure that she is really okay and
14:13you're not lying to me.
14:15Great.
14:15Well, I will take that bet.
14:16Yeah, that means I'm driving.
14:17Oh, yay.
14:24So I'll change the belt, follow you back to town, just to be sure?
14:28Thanks, Dad.
14:30Oh, are you kidding?
14:32Who's that?
14:33Just some guy from yesterday.
14:34What do you think you're doing?
14:45I replaced your fan belt.
14:47Well, technically it's a certain time belt, but whatever.
14:49I didn't give you permission to do that.
14:52Yeah, I know.
14:52But I was driving past.
14:53It's no problem.
14:54So you messed with my daughter's car despite her telling you not to?
14:57Daughter.
14:58Would you drive a car somewhere and them is fiddled with?
15:01Well, no.
15:02So what exactly are you doing here, mate?
15:03Oh, I think I've got a misunderstanding here, mate.
15:06No, I've been perfectly clear.
15:07You make a habit of overstepping, don't you?
15:11I've got my eye on you.
15:13All right.
15:14All right, my bad.
15:15Apologies.
15:16Might happen again.
15:32You know him?
15:33I met him.
15:36So did you stuff it up?
15:38No.
15:39Actually, he did a good job.
15:42OK, remember, my car, my music.
15:53That's it.
15:53I'm hitchhiking.
15:54Absolutely not.
15:54Mum would have a fit.
15:56G'day, ladies.
15:57Morning.
15:57Um, Marley not coming in today?
16:00Um, I don't know.
16:01He was sleeping in.
16:02I think he was up late last night working.
16:03Oh, right.
16:04You off on a trip?
16:05Yes.
16:06Yes.
16:06And I'm already regretting it.
16:07Sounds great.
16:08Come on, let's go.
16:09OK.
16:11Hey, uh, sorry.
16:12I've got to go.
16:13Someone texted about the car.
16:14You sure about selling?
16:15Yeah, 100%.
16:15All right.
16:16Well, good luck.
16:17Would you rather not take the first offer?
16:19Mm-hmm.
16:19Never.
16:20See you later.
16:28Hey.
16:32I heard you were in town.
16:34Dad said the food here's pretty good.
16:36Do you want to join me upstairs?
16:38No.
16:39At least you get lost.
16:40Hey.
16:50You can't keep burying your head in the sand.
16:51We're family.
16:52We have to talk.
16:53Yeah, Drake, you need to talk when you should feel guilty every day for the rest of your life.
16:55You think I don't?
16:56Well, then own up to what you did.
16:57You have no idea what I want her and what I see every time I close my eyes.
17:02You should suffer for taking her away from us.
17:04Lace, why?
17:04Don't call me that.
17:05Lace!
17:06What was that for?
17:14Hey!
17:18Hey!
17:18Break it up!
17:19Get off me!
17:19Get off me!
17:19Don't get off me!
17:22Stop it!
17:23You're both coming down to the station with me.
17:33What's going on here?
17:34You own up to what you did or I swear you are so dead to me.
17:38She's going to blame me forever.
17:39Lacey hasn't dealt with her grief.
17:41She's just directing it at you.
17:42I already hate myself.
17:43What happened?
17:44It was an accident.
17:45No one was to blame.
17:47So, Joe doesn't remember anything about the accident.
17:48So, she says that could be my tune.
17:50She's Bayou system.
17:52Take the time.
17:52She says that it was an accident.
17:56Bye!
