00:00Do you miss a year or not at all?
00:07Can't deny it had a great view.
00:10That's all that it had.
00:11That place had not been painted in years.
00:13Also, the kitchen was just a throwback to the 70s.
00:16We could deal with a retro vibe.
00:18Can you deal with carrying Archie and his pram
00:20up three flights of stairs every day?
00:23Hey, how's the house on going? Hello, son.
00:25Terrible.
00:26No, we'll find the right place.
00:28The main thing is that we'll stay together.
00:29Yeah, and that it has, you know, like a roof and some running water.
00:33Probably no cockroaches, but I don't want to be picky.
00:36Hi, Irene.
00:38Yeah, we can come straight home.
00:40Okay.
00:42Bye.
00:43Irene wants to see us. It sounds urgent.
00:46Okay.
00:47Keep me posted, yeah?
00:48Yeah.
00:49Bye, son.
00:50Bye, Dad.
00:56I can't believe you're doing this, mate.
00:58It's not like I hurt anyone.
00:59Well, that doesn't change the fact that you were over the legal limit.
01:03Remy, you're now going to undergo a regulated breath test to confirm that reading.
01:07What about my bike?
01:08What about your bike?
01:10You maybe leave it on the side of the road.
01:12Someone's going to nick it.
01:13Hmm.
01:14Probably should have thought about that before you decided to drink and drive.
01:19I'm going to organise the test.
01:22You're loving this, aren't you?
01:23I'm really not.
01:24It's all well and good for her to say she wants to leave early, but she's just booked her flight.
01:33Yeah, I'm sure the travel agent could work something out.
01:36Will we still be able to have a farewell party?
01:39Oh, two, right.
01:40There's no way she's leaving town without a proper send-off.
01:42Al's right.
01:43This is what Irene wants.
01:44We just need to pivot and make it work.
01:47Let me know what I can do to help.
01:48Sorry.
01:49Thanks.
01:50We're going to need more hands on deck, though.
01:52Well, I'm sure Dana and Harper would like to put their hands up.
01:55What about you, Palmer?
01:56Well, I'm sorry if I'm not excited about Irene leaving Sloona.
01:59John, none of us are.
02:01This was always happening.
02:02It's just happening faster.
02:04Are you still okay to write your farewell speech?
02:06Well, it's a bit of a short deadline, but I'll make sure it happens.
02:10All right, well, I'll get on to the travel agent, see what I can do about this flight.
02:13Yeah, and I'd better make a start on that speech.
02:17John, you all right, mate?
02:21I just thought Irene and I would have more time together.
02:28Hey.
02:29I don't suppose you saw Remy on your drive-in?
02:31No, thankfully.
02:32Why?
02:33He took off on his bike.
02:35I saw how much he drank yesterday.
02:36I hope he was okay to drive.
02:37Yeah.
02:38Oh, thank God.
02:40He's with cash.
02:42At least he didn't end up under a truck.
02:45Yeah, thank goodness.
02:56The second test has confirmed a blood alcohol reading of .07.
03:04What happens now?
03:05Now you'll be charged with low range drink driving.
03:07Charged?
03:08Mate, can't you just let this slide?
03:10No.
03:12I get that I've done the wrong thing.
03:15Okay, but I'm only just over.
03:18It's my first offence.
03:20Let me just pay a fine and we can leave it at that.
03:22That's not how this works.
03:23No, seriously, how much is it? I'll fix it up now.
03:25Can't pay your way out of this one, Remy.
03:27You're going to have to deal with the consequences.
03:29What happened to police discretion?
03:31I've already used police discretion.
03:33I could have charged you for assaulting a police officer
03:35and I could have charged you for break and enter.
03:37Yeah, well you took my bike keys.
03:39This is why.
03:40This is why, right now, you should have left the keys where they were.
03:44You're being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
03:48There'll be a fine and your licence has been suspended.
03:51What? Suspended?
03:52Yes, you're disqualified from driving for three months.
03:54If you wish to appeal this decision,
03:56you have 28 days to lodge an application.
03:58I'll be appealing.
03:59Okay, then you need to pay the court fees
04:00and you can't drive until a magistrate has heard your case.
04:02That is the only way that a suspension can be overturned.
04:04When exactly are you leaving?
04:10Well, I haven't locked that down yet, but as soon as I can.
04:15Please don't worry about me.
04:17I'll either be with family or friends
04:20or on an organised tour with a health worker.
04:23It sounds like you've thought of everything.
04:25Well, I hope so.
04:27I mean, I need to do this while I've still got my wits about me
04:32and, well, I can still enjoy it.
04:34Of course you do. Absolutely.
04:37We'll just speed up that house search.
04:40Oh, my God, Father, I completely forgot to tell you.
04:44I was talking to the solicitor
04:46and as a condition of the settlement,
04:48David can't move in here
04:50until you guys have found somewhere else to live.
04:53You didn't have to do that.
04:54But we're very appreciative.
04:56Well, I didn't want to leave you high and dry again.
04:59I've mucked you around enough as it is.
05:01No, you haven't. We completely understand.
05:04You've done so much for us.
05:06Oh.
05:07You're such good girls.
05:10Anyway, better get cracking on the packing.
05:14I, uh, I'm gonna check on Archie.
05:22This is happening really fast.
05:24I know.
05:26What are we gonna do if we can't find a place?
05:29Well, I mean, Irene did just say that we could stay here for a little bit.
05:32Yeah, but she needs the settlement for her trip
05:34and David needs someone to live.
05:36I know.
05:37We're just gonna ramp up our search.
05:39That's all.
05:47Friendly heads up, Remy.
05:48Second offences do not go down well in court.
05:50So if you are tempted to drive on your suspended licence,
05:52you'll be facing further charges and possibly imprisonment.
05:54Yes, I get it.
05:56Where do I sign so I can get out of here?
06:01How do I get my bike back?
06:03You need to make arrangements to have someone pick it up.
06:05I go now then?
06:06You idiot.
06:08Do you know how worried I've been?
06:10What happened to my right to privacy?
06:11Don't push her.
06:12He called me because you need someone to drive you home.
06:15You should be grateful they even came.
06:16Do you want to make yourself useful?
06:18Get old mate to drop the DUI charge.
06:20Can you hear yourself?
06:23Go wait in the van.
06:24I'm not waiting in the van.
06:25Go!
06:34He's not even sorry, is he?
06:45Ah, thank you.
06:47Hey.
06:48Hey.
06:50Well, Colin's grown up.
06:51Yeah.
06:52He's doing something new every time.
06:53Feels like if I blink, he'll be starting school soon.
06:59I just want us to find a place before Irene leaves
07:01so she can get on the plane and not worry about us.
07:04Well, then we're going to have to lower our expectations.
07:06I know.
07:07Guess it's the 70s apartment for us.
07:10It's been laced, I checked.
07:12You're kidding.
07:13That place was a hole.
07:14So what's the plan?
07:15Well, we don't have one.
07:16I mean, now Irene's leaving earlier,
07:18I guess we're just going to live on the streets.
07:20No, we're not.
07:21It's under control.
07:23That's not what you said before.
07:27So, Marley was right.
07:28After your boy's grown up pretty fast,
07:30he'll be on solid soon, right?
07:32Yeah, I'm going to talk to the early childhood nurse about it next week.
07:36Cool.
07:37Get some kuma to soup into you, eh, son?
07:39Make you big and strong.
07:40Help you sleep too.
07:41Really?
07:42Kuma to soup helps baby sleep.
07:43Yeah, it works like a charm.
07:44Well, if you have any other hot parenting tips, please let me know.
07:52You didn't even try to talk cash arena.
07:54Why would I?
07:55Oh, Eden, I went for a ride to blow off some steam.
07:57I didn't hurt anything.
07:58You were drink driving.
07:59I had had one drink since last night.
08:01Yeah, and last night you were wasted.
08:03Or were you too drunk to remember that?
08:04I remember.
08:05I remember.
08:06Remy, you could have killed yourself today.
08:09Who cares?
08:11What has happened to you?
08:13If you're looking for alcohol, you can forget it.
08:15There isn't any.
08:16Your boyfriend already took my license.
08:19Why can't I have a drink now?
08:20You can't keep going on like this.
08:21Eden, it's not like I can do anything to fix it.
08:23Yeah, well, you can stop making it worse.
08:24Right, love, all the stuff at that end of the table can go in the charity box.
08:36I'm going to hang on to the photos.
08:38No worries at all.
08:40Hey, what are you going to do with your couch and the dining table?
08:43Well, all the kitchen stuff and the furniture is staying, darling.
08:46I included it in the sale.
08:48Well, that was clever.
08:49Well, at the end of the day, it's just stuff, isn't it?
08:53I mean, it's the personal things I want to keep.
08:56Yeah, and all your personal things, we'll just go and put the storage in it for you.
09:00And in the meantime, it'll stay there nice and safe until you're ready to pick it up.
09:04Ah, Palmer, that'll be right.
09:06Wait till all the heavy lifting's done and then you turn up.
09:08There's still a lot to do.
09:10Hey, girl, how did you go with the travel agent?
09:13Ah, good.
09:15There are a couple of options for you to fly out if you want to keep the guided tours that you picked.
09:20So what are they?
09:22Three weeks or three days.
09:26No, you'd want the flight in three weeks, of course.
09:29Yeah, but, love, you know, I don't want to put the trip off if I can avoid it.
09:34So, um, I need one day to sort this out.
09:40I need one day to see Finn and the grandkids.
09:43So, um, three days.
09:49Okay, um, three days it is.
09:52Right.
09:57Well, I guess that means we should, uh, start packing your suitcase.
10:01Sorry, John.
10:06Sorry, John.
10:14So, Remy did this?
10:15Yeah.
10:16Well, like I said, you don't have to worry about it.
10:18I'm dealing with it.
10:19Oh, you better be.
10:20Who trashes a friend's house?
10:22He's not making great decisions right now, okay?
10:24Well, with all of this going on, it's probably a good thing Harper turned down living here.
10:27Yeah, I think that's for the best in more ways than one.
10:30Not if they end up homeless.
10:34Sorry, I've got to take this.
10:36Ian, hey, what's going on?
10:38I have tried tough love, being nice.
10:41Remy won't listen.
10:43You want me to come over?
10:44Dad's only going to make things worse.
10:46Hang on.
10:48Where are you going?
10:50Nowhere.
10:55Mate, you are a lifesaver.
10:57I'm going to go.
10:59Thanks, man.
11:00Cheers.
11:01Have a good one.
11:02You too.
11:04How's this going to make things better?
11:08There is no making this better, Ian.
11:11I just want to stay comfortably numb.
11:24What about the wall behind the couch?
11:26I mean, the linole just painted over the mould.
11:28It's so gross, as if we wouldn't see that.
11:31You know what's sad?
11:32Is that someone would be desperate enough to pay top dollar for such luxury.
11:35You know, I don't care how desperate I get.
11:37I'll sleep in the car before I make Archie live in a mould-infested place like that.
11:42Do you think you need to split up?
11:44What? No.
11:45It wouldn't be forever, you know.
11:46It would be until we found somewhere that we like.
11:48That is a terrible idea,
11:49because then we would have to find two places to live in instead of one.
11:52There aren't any rentals available right now.
11:54Everything that fits us isn't suitable for a rat,
11:56let alone your cute son here.
11:58Sounds like it's pretty tough to find a place at the moment.
12:00Yes, that is correct, Hannah.
12:03Which is why I think that you should ask Harper to move in again.
12:06What are you doing?
12:07I'm making sure that you and your son don't end up homeless, alright?
12:09So, I'm going to leave now. You two chat.
12:11A couple more loads and I think that should do it.
12:30John, I know this is tough, but you've barely said a word all morning.
12:35Well, how would you feel if your best mate was heading off overseas alone
12:40with a degenerative illness?
12:42Irene is going to have a ton of support.
12:44I don't think you need to worry about that.
12:46She's my best mate.
12:48Of course I'm going to worry.
12:50I guess we're gonna stay this way.
12:56I doubt you care.
13:02Love, the plane doesn't get in till late, so I'll grab a taxi.
13:06She is not grabbing a taxi, VJ.
13:08Oh my God.
13:10She's the other side of the world.
13:12She's still bossing you around.
13:14Alright, well, it looks like you and your mum have already made up my mind for me,
13:18so I'll see you and Luke at the airport in Cyprus in a few days.
13:23Bye, VJ. Love you.
13:25Bye, VJ. She loves you.
13:27Bye.
13:29Oh, my Godfather.
13:31I can't believe that Luke is eight.
13:33Time goes fast.
13:35Oh, I can't wait to see her and make some wonderful memories together while we can.
13:41While I can.
13:43Well, some of us here would like to make some nice memories too.
13:45We still have some time.
13:47Do we have everything?
13:49Almost.
13:50One more trip and then on to the fun stuff, Irene's party.
13:53Woohoo!
13:54Frankly, I don't see what there is to celebrate.
13:56Oh, I'll see you later.
13:57Go on.
13:58Hey, love.
13:59Hey, wow.
14:00It's getting real now.
14:01Yeah, it sure is, love.
14:02So, um, how'd you go with the house hunting?
14:03Any nibbles?
14:04Yeah, a couple of bites.
14:05That's great.
14:06Honestly, I don't know what's gotten into her.
14:07Just forget everything she said.
14:08I don't think I can.
14:09She said you're going to be homeless in a couple of days.
14:10Well, technically that's not true, because Irene bought her some time as a condition
14:13of the settlement.
14:14Okay, Harper, can you just listen to me, please?
14:15I don't think I can.
14:16She said you're going to be homeless in a couple of days.
14:18Well, technically that's not true, because Irene bought her some time as a condition
14:27Harper can just listen to me, please.
14:28Look, I know us living together isn't ideal, but surely it's better than the alternative,
14:33right?
14:34We will find something.
14:36Yeah, but will you though?
14:37I mean, you've been looking for ages.
14:39Look, you and Archie need a place to stay.
14:42I've got a spare room at my place.
14:44What do you say?
14:46If we did move in, it would only be temporary.
14:50Yeah, of course.
14:51You know, you stay as long or as little as you need.
14:54Whatever works for you.
14:56Okay.
14:57Okay.
14:58Okay, we'll move in.
15:01Great.
15:02Great.
15:03Um, I'll drop this equipment off and then we'll go get your stuff, yeah?
15:09Okay, how about we swap out the tequila for a coffee, hmm?
15:23That's how it's going to be again today, isn't it?
15:26Morning.
15:27How are you this morning?
15:30Okay, well I guess that says it all.
15:36You alright?
15:40My best friend is self-destructing in front of me and there is nothing I can do.
15:45I know that he's hurting and I really want to help him and I just-
15:49Hey, hey.
15:50You can't help him.
15:51You can't help him when he's like this.
15:52Yeah.
15:53Actually, listen, how would you feel about going for a drive and checking out some wedding venues?
16:00I just got a phone call from Harper and it turns out that she is moving in after all and I wouldn't mind giving her and Tana a little bit of space.
16:07That sounds lovely, but I can't leave Remy like this.
16:11Remy is a grown man.
16:13It's about time he started taking some responsibility for himself.
16:16Yeah, that is great in theory.
16:18Okay, let's just give him what he wants then.
16:20Let's leave him alone.
16:22You never know, he might surprise us, he might pull himself together.
16:26You know what?
16:31Let's go plan our wedding.
16:40Okay.
16:45You know, you don't have to do that.
16:46I can do it myself.
16:47Oh, it's all good.
16:48Half the stuff's Archie's anyway.
16:50Now look.
16:52Your sister's happy you're moving in.
16:56Well, my sister needs to focus on her own life.
16:59Oh, look.
17:00She looks happy too.
17:01Hey.
17:02Here, let me take him so you can unpack.
17:05Come here, boy.
17:06Where?
17:07I mean, which room?
17:08Oh, yeah, just the spare one.
17:10Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:12Hey, it's going to be great.
17:14Having both mum and dad under the same roof to run around after you.
17:18Yeah.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Hey.
17:21Hey, you want to dance?
17:23Good boy.
17:24mogelijk-dead-dead-dead-dead-dead-dead
17:26Talking for some sunshine.
17:34Oh, hello.
17:44Sorry, um, next week's patrol roster.
17:48It's not, um...
17:50Okay.
17:52How are you doing?
17:53I'm supposed to be writing Irene's farewell speech.
17:57But I don't want to say farewell.
17:59I know.
18:00How far you got?
18:03Oh.
18:05Her party's tomorrow.
18:06Irene is leaving tomorrow.
18:09Do you think it would help to have a couple of people say some words about her, you know?
18:14I could start.
18:15There aren't enough words to describe how much she means to this town.
18:20Or to me.
18:21Hey, come on in.
18:44This is still your home.
18:45Wow.
18:47It must be very weird seeing it so empty.
18:53Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
18:56It's the end of an era.
19:00Hey, I really hope you find somewhere to live soon.
19:03Oh, yeah.
19:04Don't worry about me.
19:05I've got some irons in the fire.
19:07You girls have been wonderful.
19:10I can't thank you enough.
19:13We're the ones that have to thank you.
19:16Everything that you've done for us, from believing us and letting us stay.
19:24You've given me the best home that I've ever known.
19:32Same here, love.
19:34Same here.
19:37Oh.
19:38I want to see old friends while I still remember them.
20:08I still got time and there's wonders left to find.
20:13I'll be somewhere out there over the horizon.
20:17We should be having a party.
20:19A real rip snorting.
20:21I just knew that everything was going to be all right because you were by my side.
20:36I just knew that everything was going to be all right because you were by my side.
20:48Oh, well, I still got time.
20:51I'll pick flowers in my mind.
20:53You've given me the best home that I've ever known.
20:55I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising.
20:59I don't know how to say goodbye.
21:00While I got...
21:02Don't have the words.
21:04Say goodbye to Irene.
21:07The history-making event all of Australia will be watching.
21:11Monday, 7 o'clock.
