00:00You and we belong together
00:03You and I forever and ever
00:08No matter where you were
00:12You're my guiding star
00:16And from the very first moment I saw you
00:21I never felt such emotion
00:25I'm walking on it
00:29Just to know you are there
00:34Hold me in your arms
00:37Don't let me go
00:39I want to stay forever
00:43Close to each day
00:45Home and away
00:48I'm A.G. in Purcell. I'm here about Cohen.
00:52I wanted to keep Cohen with me, but she suddenly announces that he wasn't mine.
00:56And next thing I know, they've disappeared.
00:58I never knew what happened to them until your guy showed up at my door last night.
01:01The guy who's claiming to be his father is at the police station and they want to do a DNA test.
01:06I'm in the process of adopting him. And does he know that?
01:09You must be the foster parent.
01:11Can you go back inside?
01:12I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of him.
01:14Well, no one else was here to do it.
01:16Let's go back into the interview room.
01:17He's acting like he cares about Cohen. He doesn't even know him.
01:20Adrian and Cohen need DNA tests. Until the results are back, there's nothing to discuss.
01:24Can I just ask one thing? That you don't tell him what the tests are for.
01:28I'm not sure that we can keep it from him.
01:30Look, if he gets his hopes up, okay, and we find out that Adrian isn't his father, it will break his heart.
01:35This is Cohen when he was born. I kept it all this time.
01:37I just want to see him. Are you all right?
01:42He belongs here with us.
01:56Okay, Dr. Fowler. You've been quiet the whole way back from the clinic.
02:00Do you know something I don't?
02:02No.
02:03Did you see something in the ultrasound that I didn't?
02:05No, no, no, no, no. Nothing like that.
02:06Well, something's going on.
02:09I'm just keen to get the results back, just like you.
02:12Okay.
02:13I think we should be prepared for any and every outcome, babe.
02:17Hey, listen.
02:20There is no sense in worrying while we wait.
02:23Okay, let's just try and stay busy until they call us.
02:27I'll try.
02:29Why don't I shout you some more?
02:31You won't say no to that.
02:32Okay, let's go.
02:36Yeah, okay. Thanks, Harper.
02:40We'll get him over there now.
02:42Yep.
02:44Cohen's finished his DNA test. You're up next.
02:46I'll get an officer to take you to the hospital.
02:48Will Cohen still be there?
02:50No.
02:51It's best we keep you apart until we can confirm that he is your son.
02:55That's protocol.
02:56We're just doing what's best for Cohen.
02:58He's had a really tough time.
02:59Let's be straight.
03:01If you didn't think there was a good chance I could be his dad, would I be here?
03:03You just need to be patient and keep your distance.
03:08Constable Thompson, we'll take you to the hospital.
03:11Thanks.
03:16It all looked a bit intense.
03:19Who's the guy?
03:20We think he could be Cohen's father.
03:22Right.
03:23I didn't know there was a father in the picture.
03:25Neither did I until 24 hours ago.
03:27Sorry, I should have told you.
03:31No.
03:33Has Ruben informed?
03:35Mm-hmm.
03:36She's not happy.
03:41You were so brave getting all those tests today.
03:45Why don't you get yourself a drink?
03:47Can I see what muffins have you got?
03:48Yeah, sure. Get yourself a milkshake too, okay?
03:54Hey, I just spoke to David.
03:56Adrian's on his way to the hospital now.
03:58Okay.
04:00I know how hard this is for you.
04:03Do you?
04:05What is this guy's deal?
04:07Like, where has he been?
04:08And why didn't Cohen know anything about him?
04:10It's not my place to stay.
04:13I'll let you know when I hear about the test results.
04:16Okay, thank you.
04:19Here you go, darling.
04:21Dad told me about the DNA test.
04:23It's all getting very serious.
04:24I just can't believe it.
04:25I feel like I've given Cohen this false hope of an adoption that might never happen.
04:30We'll never say never.
04:32You don't know what the future's going to hold.
04:38Anything?
04:40No, not yet.
04:41So much for keeping yourself busy.
04:43I'll shut up, you.
04:44Want another coffee?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah?
04:47Cash, hey.
04:48What can I get you?
04:49Double espresso, please.
04:51Double espresso?
04:52So, rough morning?
04:53Oh, it's just my work.
04:54Hmm.
04:55More importantly, how are you guys?
04:58I'm good.
04:59Yeah, nothing new to report.
05:01Okay.
05:02I've been speaking to your fiancé.
05:06Yeah, she mentioned that you guys were going ahead with the IVF.
05:08Oh, of course she did.
05:09Yeah.
05:10I'm happy for the both of you, and good luck with it.
05:12Well, not that we'll need it, but thank you.
05:14And so how is Eden?
05:15Is she in her element leading up to this gig?
05:17Well, I wouldn't know.
05:17She's already locked herself in something called a rehearsal bunker.
05:20Oh, wow.
05:21That's kind of intense.
05:22What I can hear across the street, it's going well.
05:25Sorry, this is the clinic.
05:26Excuse me.
05:33Is everything okay?
05:35Yeah, hopefully.
05:42How many follicles?
05:47Okay, uh, could you send all that info in an email to me?
05:52Okay, great.
05:54Bye.
05:58What did they say?
06:00The results are in.
06:02And?
06:03They're great.
06:06How great?
06:07Well, they called to inform that we have seven mature follicles,
06:11which means we could have seven egg sleep on me.
06:14So we're on track for egg retrieval?
06:16Oh, no.
06:22Who's the Sarge about?
06:32Ah.
06:33Alf.
06:34Hey, mate.
06:35I, um, I just want a few straight answers.
06:38How do you think this whole thing will play out?
06:40I mean, I've got a kid at home who knows something's up.
06:43I've got a daughter on the verge of a flamin' breakdown.
06:46I just want to know what I'm gearing up for.
06:47We need to be sure of this man's connection to Cohen.
06:51It's protocol to ensure the safety of the kid.
06:53Oh, don't give me that protocol rubbish.
06:55If the bloke is Cohen's father, what happens then?
06:58That will depend on what Adrian wants and what Cohen wants.
07:01And what about what Rue wants?
07:03I know you're worried about your daughter.
07:05And Cohen.
07:07But even if Adrian is the father and he does want Cohen,
07:10we don't know what the department will allow.
07:12Strike me, flamin' handsome.
07:15Don't tell me we're back in the hands of the paper pushers
07:17who barely know the bloke.
07:19I'm sorry, mate.
07:19I wish I could give you more.
07:21But right now, I don't have the answers.
07:26Rue, can I please go get some school stuff?
07:29I know I'm more sick.
07:30The hospital test will say I'm fine.
07:32We can go tomorrow, okay?
07:33Because it's getting a bit late.
07:37But, um, you know what?
07:38Why not?
07:39Let's go now, okay?
07:40Cohen?
07:41Cohen?
07:41Who is it?
07:42Is that you?
07:42I don't know who he is.
07:43Please, just give me a moment.
07:44You shouldn't be talking to him.
07:45You won't remember me, Cohen.
07:47I remember you.
07:48No, you're scaring him and you shouldn't be talking to him.
07:50I think I'm your dad.
07:50You can't say that to him.
07:51I don't have a dad.
07:52You can't say that to him.
07:53Cash!
07:54Hey, mate, I can explain.
07:55What's going on?
07:55Come with me.
07:56Let's go.
07:58Didn't the stars tell you to keep your distance?
08:00Yeah.
08:02I need you to come with me.
08:03Let's go.
08:12Is this really necessary?
08:21I haven't done anything illegal, have I?
08:23Well, you can explain that to Sergeant Langham.
08:25What's going on?
08:26What's he doing back here?
08:28Caught him introducing himself to Cohen.
08:30I just ran into them.
08:31And what?
08:32Accidentally introduced yourself?
08:33I only wanted him to know who I am.
08:38I'd say he knows now.
08:40I know something's going on.
08:41Who is he?
08:42Why won't you tell me?
08:42I don't know and I don't want you to worry about that.
08:44Why are you staying with my dad?
08:45Why don't you go upstairs?
08:46I don't want to go upstairs.
08:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:48What's going on here?
08:49Are you two all right?
08:51Adrian came up and he spoke to Cohen.
08:53Who was he?
08:54Just tell me, please.
08:57Look, he's a man that your mum knew a long time before you were born.
09:00Is he really my dad?
09:02Look, the police think that he might be.
09:05But we're not sure yet.
09:07Is that why this whole adoption process is taking longer?
09:10They put it on hold until they sort all this out.
09:13My tonsillitis test at the hospital, what were they really for?
09:16I'm so sorry, honey.
09:18It's just part of the process of trying to figure out if he's your dad.
09:21And if he is, we'll have to go live with him?
09:23There's no decisions being made right now, okay?
09:26The department and the police are only going to do what's best for you.
09:30They could send me away.
09:31Darling, there is so much to figure out, okay?
09:35So really, I don't want you to worry about anything, okay?
09:46Okay, the email has come through.
09:49You're the doctor.
09:50Please, you need to explain all to me what this means.
09:52Whoa.
09:52A specialist says we should do the trigger injection tonight.
10:01Oh, so romantic.
10:04Poor players know what it used to be.
10:06I know.
10:06Please, tell me again about the egg retrieval.
10:09So, see, 36 hours after the trigger injection, the eggs will be ready to harvest.
10:17Then I do my bit.
10:19Oh, yes, you're a very difficult contribution.
10:20What a challenge.
10:21I hope you'll survive.
10:22I'll figure out a way.
10:23Oh, there's just so many steps, isn't there?
10:26Just when we think we're ready, there's something else to do.
10:28It's a marathon, not a sprint.
10:29I know, but what's next?
10:31Waiting for embryos to mature?
10:33You know all this.
10:34I know.
10:34I just want to hurry up and get to the partner.
10:35I'm pregnant already.
10:37So do I.
10:38I'm sorry you're going to have to deal with all these new side effects after the trigger
10:42shot.
10:43I know, but it'll all be worth it.
10:46Yeah, it will.
10:48Thank you for being so great about all this.
10:50And I'm sorry that I've been such a stress cadet.
10:53I really hope our baby gets your nerves of steel.
10:57They do.
11:01I understand this is a tough situation,
11:07but that doesn't excuse you doing as you please.
11:11There is a child's welfare at stake here.
11:14Wouldn't you have done the same if you hadn't seen your own kid in years?
11:17I would do as the police instructed.
11:21Look, could you at least pass on a message for me?
11:23No, I can't do that.
11:25Please.
11:26I want Colin to know that I care about him.
11:31I've always cared about him.
11:34Then why didn't you fight for him when he was a baby?
11:36I tried.
11:38But Samantha and I got in a stack of arguments and she threatened me with an AVO.
11:45What was I supposed to do?
11:51Why don't you go home and get some rest?
11:53I'll contact you when the DNA test results are back.
11:56Go on.
11:59I'll give you a ride back to your car.
12:00Go on.
12:01Go on.
12:01Go on.
12:02Come on.
12:03Let's go.
12:03Come on.
12:04Come on.
12:05Go on.
12:25Go on.
12:26you all right yeah my closest over there you know just hold on your sergeant was right
12:40i should have kept my distance because now calum's probably freaked out well he's probably
12:44more confused than anything which is fair enough you're a stranger no look man you just got to
12:52take things slow you got to give that kid a bit of space he's been through a lot you seem to know
13:00him pretty well well he and i have a bit in common we've been hanging out we've played some footy
13:05he's a good kid is he okay he's getting there bruce taking good care of her
13:16thanks for the lift
13:22hey hey i just thought i'd give you an update come on through
13:32so both dna tests are done uh but the results won't be in for about a week
13:40that long it's usually faster than that well it's not really a priority for the lab
13:45it's just a paternity test it's not like they're solving the crime
13:48yeah but there's a kid involved and a father who needs to know the truth yeah i know that
13:52there's not much i can do about it what's going on what he told coen about all this
13:58nothing rue wanted to wait and see what we're dealing with she was worried he'd get confused
14:03yeah well i think the horses bolted on that one what do you mean coen knows about adrian
14:08what how adrian told him are you serious
14:12where are you going oh well i'm gonna have to go talk to coen see if he's okay i don't agree with
14:21what adrian did but i don't think he meant any harm maybe that's true but if the dna says that he's
14:27not the father he just goes on living his life no harm no foul and coen is left to deal with
14:32another disappointment
14:41hey hey don't you feel like reading oh no yeah i do
14:47okay
14:49hi
14:55listen um coen's had a very big day i heard what happened

15:08so you met adrian
15:14must have been a bit of a shock
15:16that's understandable it's a lot to take in
15:20i don't really care if that man is my father
15:23please don't make me live with him i want to stay here with rue
15:26i know rue wants that too
15:28yeah
15:29more than anything

16:35uh let's
16:36wait for the dna results and then we can go from there
16:39well i was halfway through adopting him doesn't that mean anything
16:42in the eyes of the law you are still just the emergency foster carer
16:46which means
16:47i think what harper's saying is that if they are related that it changes everything
17:12hey
17:14hi
17:15hi
17:16sorry i'm late that was a night to dinner rush

18:08yes yes well look i had another chat with adrian about keeping his distance
18:12hopefully he'll listen this time
18:16what's your take on him
18:19he seems genuine
18:21and he's still here to see cohen so i'm leaning towards believing him
18:25same
18:27and if we're right
18:28if his story is true then
18:30he's been robbed of more than a decade of being a father to that kid
18:36it's almost cohen's entire childhood
18:42you're engaged
18:43yeah
18:44kids
18:45no

19:57well mappa knows what she's talking about
20:00she spends half her working life dealing with custody cases don't she
20:03okay so that's that's it is it that if adrian's his father i lose him
