00:00The phones match the description of stolen property from a warehouse in Reefden Lakes.
00:12You're going to bust me, aren't you?
00:13I'll only be gone one night.
00:15Promise?
00:15Yeah.
00:16I promise.
00:18I love you so much.
00:19Don't you forget that, okay?
00:21This is Cohen.
00:22Cohen, this is your new foster carer, Ruth Stewart.
00:24My name's Harper.
00:25I'm your social worker.
00:27Do you know what's happening with my mom?
00:28Uh, they didn't tell me.
00:30What did they tell you?
00:31Can I see her today?
00:32Samantha was denied bail.
00:34They're transferring her to the women's prison now.
00:36She's chosen to relinquish her parental rights.
00:39She says she doesn't want anything to do with Cohen.
00:42Why be rivals when we could be allies?
00:44Allies it is.
00:46Allies it is.
00:47We want to record a duet.
00:48That's a great idea.
00:50Yep, we thought so too.
00:51Remy said no.
00:52We just got to change his mind.
00:54It's just I am so under the pump that something has to give now.
00:56What happened to the Remy I'll sleep when I'm dead, Carter?
00:59He got tired.
01:00Well, you've got to wake up, man, because this is a golden opportunity.
01:03It is a golden opportunity.
01:06And all you have to do is to take it.
01:08I still can't believe you've got Remy over the line.
01:27Yeah, I'll leave it.
01:29You know, maybe I should dish my manager and sign with you.
01:32Ah, please, he's too busy looking after me.
01:34Yeah, she's not kidding.
01:35No fair.
01:36I mean, I might share him after my launch, which reminds me, how are you going with finding
01:39a venue?
01:40Okay, so I've had a bit of luck with the venue that you wanted.
01:44Great.
01:44But it's been a bit of a work in progress because Remy's a little unsure if he's going
01:49to have the mix finished in time.
01:51Right.
01:51But now we are scheduling in this duet.
01:55Plans are going to change.
01:56So I just think we keep our options open.
01:58Yeah?
01:58Well, I mean, you know best.
02:00Do you reckon you could find me a venue too?
02:01Oh, nice try.
02:03Listen, I'm going to go tell the venue that we're shifting dates.
02:06See ya.
02:07See you later.
02:08Hey.
02:08This means we have forgot to get to work.
02:10Are you all right?
02:19Hi.
02:19What?
02:20Justin filled us in.
02:21Thank you so much for changing your mind.
02:23Yeah, we love you for it.
02:24And you're not going to regret it because this song is going to be a banger.
02:26I'm working here, okay?
02:28It's now a bad time.
02:29Yeah, give me five minutes and I'll be out, okay?
02:31No worries.
02:37Okay, rude.
02:37Yeah, he gets cranky when he's stressed.
02:40Do we know why she wants to give Cohen up?
02:46She gave no reason for a decision.
02:49Well, what happens now?
02:51Well, I'm going to try and find his grandmother.
02:53Canberra means dealing with the federal police.
02:55Is that a problem?
02:56No, it's just more red tape, more delays, that's all.
02:59Well, I'm happy to have him as long as he needs to stay somewhere.
03:03What do I tell him if he asks about his mum?
03:07Sorry.
03:08Can't help you there.
03:10I mean, Samantha might change her mind, mightn't she?
03:13She might.
03:15But to be honest, I'm not holding out much hope at this stage.
03:17Aw, here she is.
03:22They're back.
03:23Hey, how did Archie go at childcare?
03:26Yeah, really well.
03:27He was happy and settled.
03:29That's wonderful.
03:30But, you know, you must check with us first because we're more than happy to babysit if we can.
03:34Yeah, I will.
03:35Thanks, Mads.
03:36Do you want a copy?
03:37No, thank you.
03:38I was hoping to catch Rue and David.
03:40Oh, they left a while ago.
03:42Did Rue mention anything about where things were at with Colin?
03:45Yeah, love, it's not great.
03:47His mum's decided to give him up.
03:49She's relinquishing custody.
03:51Apparently.
03:52Yeah, it's very sad.
03:53Yeah, it is.
03:55So now Rue's responsible for him.
03:57Heaven only knows for how long.
04:00The child's name is Cohen Luther, son of Samantha Luther.
04:05That's right.
04:06Yeah, I'm looking for the maternal grandmother, last known residence in Canberra.
04:11Yeah, it's urgent.
04:14Yeah, thanks.
04:14Papa, how can I help?
04:18Hi, David.
04:18I just heard about Samantha's decision.
04:21Do you have any information on whether she's petitioning the court to make it official or is it just talk?
04:25I'm not sure.
04:26All I've been told is she doesn't want to have anything to do with Cohen.
04:30You don't often see this.
04:31Usually the parents fight to keep custody.
04:34She was really protective of Cohen.
04:36Do you have any idea how long her sentence could be?
04:38Worst case, a couple of years with good behaviour.
04:41Alright, so she could be doing it to protect Cohen.
04:44I'd like to talk to Samantha, if I can.
04:49You want to try and change her mind?
04:50Yeah, I have to.
04:51If she goes through with this, she might regret it forever.
04:54I'll set it up now and give you a call.
04:57Hey, and while you're there, do you think you can try and find out if there's any other family members around?
05:01Yeah, I'll certainly ask.
05:03Okay.
05:03I hope you get through to her.
05:09So, I'm going to get started on something to eat.
05:12Marilyn said she'll make some cupcakes when she gets home from work.
05:15Cool.
05:16Can I have another pitch?
05:17Yeah, of course you can.
05:18Now listen, if you're not sure about any of your clothes, you can just take them back to the shop and change them, okay?
05:23No, I need to.
05:24I can't wait to show Mum.
05:25Is everything all right, Ru?
05:29Yeah, of course.
05:30Why?
05:31What were you and the cop talking about before?
05:33Oh, you know, we had a lot to talk about.
05:36Is Mum all right?
05:38Of course she is, sweetie.
05:39Did you go to court today?
05:41I'm not sure.
05:43When can I see her?
05:45I don't know.
05:46Well, the cop who were arrested, I know.
05:48Yeah, he might.
05:49I mean, I can ask him.
05:50Okay.
05:51Okay.
05:52Well, off you go.
05:53And you take them upstairs and I'll let you know when lunch is ready.
06:07This one wasn't really working for me as is, but it's super fun.
06:11Might be better as a duet.
06:12It could be a club anthem.
06:13We get everyone up and dancing.
06:15Yes, that's a plan.
06:16And, girl, I'm green-eyed.
06:18How do you keep coming up with these amazing songs?
06:20Trust me, I have to work through a lot of not great stuff to get to the good stuff.
06:26Aha!
06:27The Bats has finally come out of its cave.
06:30All right, tell me about the song you want to do.
06:32We've got some ideas.
06:33Actually, Kirby does.
06:34Ideas?
06:35You mean you've got nothing solid yet?
06:37No, but...
06:38Do you hear what it means to add this duet to your album?
06:40Yes, it's going to be a massive bonus for both of our careers.
06:43It'll be a ton of work, right?
06:44You're going to have to postpone your launch.
06:46Yes, but I'm sure Justin's all over that.
06:48And then we're going to have to book into the studio if we can get in, right?
06:51It's going to delay her album too.
06:52But don't worry, don't worry.
06:53I'll call the studio, see if we can get in ASAP.
06:55When are you going to be ready to record?
06:58When I've finished writing the song.
07:00Cool.
07:00Well, hurry up.
07:05It's Justin.
07:06He has another venue option to show me.
07:09You go.
07:09I will stay and keep working.
07:15This won't take long.
07:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:20Why did you regret to do this duet?
07:22Why?
07:23Hmm.
07:24Because it's a good idea.
07:25It's a great idea.
07:26Yeah, it is.
07:27But I can't do it.
07:27It's too much.
07:28Quit being so cranky.
07:30I'm not cranky.
07:32Okay.
07:33Well, you've got everything you need to get it done.
07:35So how about a little gratitude for this exciting opportunity, huh?
07:39How about you don't tell me how I should feel, hmm?
07:42I'm just curious.
07:44You always this much fun when you're stressed?
07:45Or is it the drugs?
07:53Hey.
07:54Hey.
07:55Thank you for meeting me.
07:57I've got more options for the venue to show you.
07:59Right.
08:01That's on the harbour.
08:02It is.
08:03You can see the rooftop stage just here.
08:05Yep, it's huge.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yep.
08:07Well, I'm expecting a big turnout, especially now that you and Avalon are going to do that duet.
08:12Right.
08:13Well, about that.
08:17Remy is super stressed.
08:19He's got a lot on his plate.
08:20He does.
08:21But I've never seen him this uptight.
08:23Are you worried about it?
08:24Yes.
08:26I am.
08:27And, um...
08:29I think we should forget the collaboration.
08:34You and Avalon were the ones who begged me to change his mind.
08:38I know, I know, I know.
08:39That was on us.
08:40And we got so psyched up.
08:42We just didn't really think it through, you know?
08:44But now, we can just focus on my album.
08:46And maybe we can do the collaboration later.
08:49How much later?
08:52Between my launch and Avalon's.
08:58That could work.
09:00Yes.
09:00It would be like a publicity hit for you, and Avalon could use it as a teaser for her album.
09:05Totally.
09:06I thought of all of those things.
09:07Did you?
09:08I did.
09:08Did you?
09:08Yep.
09:09Do you know what else?
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11We could launch you sooner.
09:14Remy would be less stressed.
09:17So that's a win-win for everyone.
09:19That's no good truth.
09:20Okay.
09:24Okay.
09:24We're on board.
09:25Okay.
09:26Okay.
09:28Come on in.
09:29You want a cuppa?
09:30Thanks, but can't stay long.
09:32Cohen around?
09:32Yeah, he's upstairs.
09:33Do you want me to get him?
09:34No, no.
09:35I came to update you.
09:37Right.
09:37Have you found his grandmother?
09:38Not yet.
09:39But there's a chance we may not need her.
09:42Harper's gone to meet with Samantha.
09:43Oh, why?
09:44Well, she's hoping to convince her to not give up Cohen.
09:48Well, that would be great, because, um...
09:50You know, I haven't told him anything yet,
09:51but he is asking some difficult questions.
09:53Right.
09:55Hey, mate.
09:56Oh, hello.
09:56Hi.
09:57Have you asked him yet?
09:59Asked me what?
10:00Well, Cohen wants to know when he can see his mum.
10:03And I said that might be a difficult question
10:06for you to answer right now,
10:07but that maybe you could look into it.
10:08Sure.
10:09I'll follow it up.
10:10Thanks.
10:11Grab a sandwich, okay?
10:16See you soon.
10:17Yep.
10:20You all right?
10:24Give me that.
10:25Chill.
10:25I just tuned it for you.
10:33You know, this aggro vibe you've got going on
10:35is really not cool.
10:37Yeah, well, I'm sorry, okay?
10:38I don't know how you take this stuff all the time.
10:39I feel like garbage.
10:41Mm-hmm.
10:41But I bet it's helping you stay awake, right?
10:44Bet you're getting lots of work done.
10:45Yeah, I've knocked over a track or two.
10:49Great.
10:49So, pull your head in, finish Kobe's album,
10:52and then you can get back to what you really want to do.
10:53And that's the end game, right?
10:55Featured artist.
10:57Remember?
10:58Mm.
11:00Hi.
11:02Hey.
11:02How'd it go with Justin?
11:03Okay, I've got good news, and I've got bad news.
11:06Actually, it's the same news,
11:07but I think you're both going to take it differently.
11:08Get on with it.
11:08Okay, you will be pleased to know that I've dropped the duet.
11:13I'm really sorry.
11:15We can still do it, just later.
11:17Maybe for your launch instead.
11:19Okay, I guess.
11:21Kobe, are you serious?
11:23What?
11:24I thought you'd be happy.
11:25Oh, I...
11:26I say no to begin with, right?
11:28Then Justin pushes me into agreeing,
11:30and now you're telling me it's off again?
11:32Just make a decision, right?
11:33And stick to it.
11:34I think Kobe and I should go.
11:36Yeah, you should before you change your mind again.
11:38How long does it take to look up a name on a computer?
11:49I sent you the paperwork this morning.
11:51You've had it for hours.
11:54Yeah, well, I've got a kid in emergency foster care
11:57who needs family, okay?
12:01How'd you go with Samantha?
12:03Not what we'd hoped for.
12:04She's already been on to a lawyer
12:06about what she needs to do to make it official.
12:08So she's definitely going through with it?
12:10Yeah, it looks that way, yeah.
12:12I tried to get her to stop and take a breath,
12:14but she's convinced that Cohen will have a better life without her.
12:17Did she mention any relatives?
12:19I asked, but she didn't give me any names.
12:21Sorry.
12:21I wish I could have done more.
12:23No, you did all you could.
12:24I'm hitting brick walls, too.
12:26I, uh, I just have to sort things out with my son
12:29and then I'll fill ruin on everything.
12:31You go be with your boy.
12:32I'll take care of this.
12:34Okay, thanks.
12:37Oh, gosh, they smell good.
12:39I hope Cohen likes them.
12:40Of course he will.
12:41Oh, hi, David.
12:45Yeah, no, did you hear back from Harper?
12:50Yeah, no, I'm sure she tried her best.
12:53No, no, I understand, yeah.
12:56Well, thank you for letting me know.
12:58Right, bye.
13:00Bad news?
13:02Harper couldn't get Cohen's mother to change her mind.
13:05Poor thing.
13:06What are you going to tell him?
13:07I don't know, but he's going to be devastated.
13:09Oh, that's going to be a difficult conversation,
13:11but you're going to have to tell him the truth.
13:13Well, I don't really have a choice now,
13:15but, I mean, how do you...
13:16How do you tell a boy that his mother doesn't want him?
13:23So, how long is mum going to be in prison for?
13:28Well, at least until a trial.
13:30And after that?
13:32Um, well, it depends if the judge finds her guilty
13:35and then what kind of sentence she gets.
13:39I'll be able to visit her in prison, right?
13:42Um, I don't know, we'll see.
13:45Please, I want to see her.
13:48Honey, I know this is scary for you, okay?
13:51I'm okay.
13:51I've got you looking after me, it's just...
13:54My mum doesn't have anyone.
13:55You're worried about her?
13:58She'll be so lonely.
14:00But I just want to tell her to be brave,
14:03like she's always telling me.
14:06Why don't we see what David has to say, okay?
14:09Come on.
14:14David?
14:15Oh, I swear if Kirby has changed her mind,
14:17I'm going to lose it again.
14:18No, no, no, no.
14:19I just came to see how you're going with the mix.
14:22Yeah, two down, I had to go.
14:24Right.
14:25Going good then.
14:27Is there anything else?
14:29Yeah, look, I've got the venue on hold,
14:30but there's no point in me putting down a deposit
14:33unless I'm sure the album's going to be finished in time.
14:36It will be finished.
14:37When will it be finished?
14:40Three days.
14:42Three days?
14:42Three days.
14:44You sure?
14:44Yep.
14:45Because when we talked about you getting it done within a week,
14:47you said that was tight.
14:48Now, if you need more time...
14:49What I need is to be left alone to finish the mix, okay?
14:52Okay.
14:53So you've got your job, I've got mine,
14:55you book the venue,
14:57the album will be done.
14:58Thanks, Jim.
14:59Bye-bye.
14:59Bye-bye.
14:59Sorry for pulling the plug on the duet again.
15:21And don't sweat it, honestly.
15:23I actually think that pushing it back will work better.
15:25Yeah?
15:26Yeah, well, now we have time to build interest
15:29and we can promote each other online
15:31and get the fans excited about our friendship.
15:34Which means when we do finally announce it,
15:36we're already going to have an audience on board.
15:38Genius.
15:39I thought so.
15:39Mm.
15:40Mm.
15:40Mm.
15:40I also think...
15:42Oh, we need more drinks to celebrate.
15:44I also agree.
15:45Yeah.
15:49Hey.
15:50Hi.
15:51Just saw Remy.
15:53Did he bite your head off?
15:54Uh, wasn't happy,
15:55but he did come through for us in the end.
15:57As in?
15:58He said he's going to have the album finished in three days.
16:01Wait.
16:02No.
16:03Do you mean he...
16:04Three weeks?
16:04No, no, no, no, no.
16:05Three days, which is really good for us
16:07because we can book your first venue of choice
16:10for the lodge.
16:12Right.
16:12Then I can get on to invitations and a meaty release.
16:19Please don't hate me for changing my mind again.
16:21Really?
16:22Really?
16:22Okay, I just feel like this is a bit brushed.
16:25And as much as I love the idea of the big city launch,
16:27I've been there and I've done that.
16:32I remember standing on that stage
16:33and I felt nothing until Eden and Remy walked through that door.
16:39I just want to be here in the bay.
16:42This is where it all began.
16:44This is where I feel like myself.
16:47Okay, so what are you thinking?
16:48This place is perfect.
16:57This is where my friends are, my memories.
17:01This place feels like home.
17:03I will talk to him back.
17:09You will?
17:10Yes.
17:12All right.
17:12Thank you, Justin.
17:14You're the best.
17:15Did you find out if I can see my mum?
17:17I'm sorry, mate.
17:18That's not possible.
17:19Why?
17:21Because right now, it's a bit of a complicated situation.
17:25Your mum still hasn't been to court
17:26and we're not sure how this is going to play out.
17:31Hey, listen, why don't you grab a cupcake, okay?
17:34And go upstairs, have a read.
17:36Okay.
17:37He's a good kid.
17:43Yeah, he is.
17:44None of this is easy.
17:45Yeah, I will tell him.
17:46Don't worry.
17:49It's the feds.
17:51Anything?
17:52No luck.
17:54Family name doesn't match any records in the ACT.
17:58So, well, what happens now?
18:00Well, we're still waiting on the birth certificate.
18:02Hopefully that'll help us track down his father.
18:07Right.
18:12Hey.
18:14Look, I'm just checking in.
18:17Are you okay with what David said?
18:22Look, I'm sorry that you can't see your mum.
18:26If I can't visit her in prison, can I call her?
18:29I don't know.
18:33Can I have paper and a pen?
18:35Yeah, sure.
18:35Why?
18:36I want to write her a letter, if that's okay.
18:39Of course it is.
18:42I'll go get some.
18:42Thanks again for having Archie this afternoon.
18:58Oh, don't mention it, love.
18:59Of course, I had to fight Maz off for a while there.
19:03I'm just glad he's settled.
19:04He's had a lot of time without his mum or dad today.
19:06So, uh, did you hear from Tane at all?
19:11I did.
19:12He asked for a few photos of Archie.
19:14Mm-hmm.
19:15Did you mention the childcare?
19:17Nope.
19:19I suppose it's an awkward conversation to have over the phone, eh?
19:22Oh, not really.
19:23It's got nothing to do with him.
19:25He's off holidaying in Japan while I look after life here.
19:28Hmm.
19:29Fair enough.
19:30Hey, Lauren.
19:31Hello again.
19:32Hi.
19:33This is my little guy, Archie.
19:35Hey, Archie.
19:38What you got your hands for?
19:39Yeah.
19:40Gets pretty crazy.
19:41Thought I wouldn't change a thing.
19:42Yeah, it's a pretty special time.
19:45But it does go fast.
19:46Too fast.
19:47Ain't that the truth?
19:48You turn around before you know it, they're all grown up and moved on with their lives.
19:52Tell me about it.
19:54Do you have any update on Cohen?
19:56His birth certificate comes through.
19:58Is there a file listed?
19:59It's blank.
20:00It's just one dead end after another.
20:08Oh, hey.
20:10Everything okay?
20:11Kind of.
20:12I've been writing my letter to Mom.
20:13Mm-hmm.
20:15I don't know the address of the prison.
20:16How do I get it to her?
20:18I'll take care of it.
20:20Okay.
20:21Good night.
20:22You sleep well, all right?
20:23No.

20:33Dear Mom, I hope you're okay.
20:36Please don't worry about me.
20:38I'm staying with someone who's really nice.
20:41But I miss you.
20:42And I wish I was with you.
20:44Right back soon.
20:46I love you.

21:00Hi Lace.
21:02I'm Joe.
21:03Lacey's sister.
21:04Sister.
21:04Right.
21:05We shouldn't be talking.
21:07Why?
21:07Because she told you the accident was my fault?
21:09It's not true.
21:10Hey you and I need to get a few things straight.
21:12You stay away from my boyfriend or you stay away from me?
21:14Okay.
21:14Let's not do this.
21:15But yeah, just go on and defend her like you always do.
21:17Listen, I care about us.
21:20I care about us too, you won't talk to my sister, you got it?
21:22But that is not going to fix...
21:22Theo, please.
21:24You're my boyfriend, you're meant to be on my side.
