00:00I have organized a CT just so we can rule out any fractures and that should be done shortly.
00:15And if that comes back clear, is she going to be okay?
00:17It's too soon to say.
00:18Nothing a bit of shut eye point fix.
00:21Do you think you're being funny?
00:23Sorry, I just tried to brighten the mood. I didn't know what else to say.
00:25Counselor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Langley.
00:28Thanks for coming in.
00:29It was like he recognized me. When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:32If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed mum.
00:36And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:37Yeah, I know that he's going to keep trying.
00:39Then let's just leave him to it. Please.
00:43Okay.
00:44The lawyer rang my boss and complained. I've been ordered to cease all inquiries.
00:49So you follow the rules and maybe you never get this guy.
00:52But if you break him, you get justice for your work. That's a huge risk.
00:56What is going on?
00:57I went to his house.
00:59I actually can't believe you did this.
01:00Babe, what if someone saw you?
01:02Wendell sounds like a very powerful guy.
01:05Can't you just let your dad be the cop and stay out of it?
01:07Fine.
01:08I'll drop it.
01:09Counselor Wendell.
01:10It's Georgia Delvey again.
01:13You talk to me or I'm talking to the media.
01:22Hey.
01:23Oh, hey.
01:24What have you been up to?
01:26Not much.
01:27Just clocked off work.
01:28Thought I'd grab myself some lunch.
01:29Nice.
01:30Haven't heard from you in a few days.
01:32Oh, yeah, I've been busy.
01:34Pretty out of practice with this whole sister's thing.
01:36Don't worry.
01:37Me too.
01:38Oh, how's dad been?
01:41Fine, I think.
01:42Has he said anything about the investigation?
01:45No, I haven't heard anything.
01:47And I thought we agreed to leave it to him.
01:48Yeah, we are.
01:50Can't help but be a bit curious, though.
01:52He's not going to tell me anything, Lace.
01:53Well, I'm sure we'll get an update really soon.
01:56All right, see you later.
02:00No, you're not going to get a cab.
02:03I'm going to come and get you.
02:05Yes.
02:06Uh-huh.
02:07Okay, great.
02:08I'll see you soon.
02:08Bye.
02:11Harper's being discharged this afternoon.
02:12That's great.
02:13I think great's the word I would use to describe any of this, but...
02:16Fair enough.
02:17But, I mean, the specialist wouldn't let her go unless she was actually okay, right?
02:20Yeah, well, maybe there's just nothing else they can do.
02:24Hey.
02:25You.
02:26Oh, hey.
02:27Hi.
02:27Heard about your sister.
02:28How's she doing?
02:29Yeah, um, I don't know.
02:31They're letting her go home from the hospital, so...
02:34That's good.
02:34Good to hear.
02:35I mean, something tells me she won't be celebrating with a glass of champagne, though.
02:38You know what I mean?
02:41Just let her know we're happy to help, whatever she needs.
02:43That's really appreciated.
02:45Not that hard, is it?
02:49Dude.
02:50I know.
02:50I'm an idiot.
02:51And you're employed as Councillor Wendell's assistant from March to November.
03:01I'm guessing you remember his car at the time, a grey Mercedes.
03:07Great.
03:08Do you recall why he wanted it sold so quickly?
03:10Yeah, fair enough.
03:14It was years ago now.
03:16Um, alright, well, thanks a lot for your help.
03:20If you think of anything else, just give me a buzz.
03:22You can call me directly on this number.
03:24Don't bother them at the station.
03:26Okay.
03:28Great.
03:33If I'd known you were home, I would have brought you lunch.
03:35Ah, that's alright.
03:36I'm not hungry.
03:37Why aren't you at work?
03:38It's called a sick day.
03:39I am entitled to them, believe it or not.
03:42You're not feeling well, Dad.
03:44I'm alright, sweetheart.
03:45I just need a rest.
03:47Why'd you bring all that home?
03:49Figured I might as well get some admin done.
03:51Any more questions?
03:52Well, you bring police admin home now?
03:54Since when do you do that?
03:55I'm trying something new.
03:56This smells good.
03:57What is it?
03:59I thought you said you weren't hungry.
04:00I'm not.
04:02Just if there's any leftovers.
04:05You want to go halves?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Alright.
04:12The Harper thing was obviously an accident.
04:15Just go easy on yourself.
04:17But I would lay off on the jokes from now on.
04:19Yep, trust me, I got the message.
04:22Hey, babe.
04:22You want to go grab a coffee?
04:24I actually have something exciting to tell you.
04:26Sure, what is it?
04:27Well, you're going to have to come with me to find out, aren't you?
04:30Okay.
04:31I'll grab my bag.
04:34Hey.
04:35Hey.
04:35Hey, good timing.
04:36How was work?
04:37Oh, care's alright.
04:39Still feels a bit weird.
04:40Yeah.
04:40Yeah, that.
04:41You ready?
04:42Hey.
04:43Bye, guys.
04:44Bye.
04:45Bye.
04:47Um, did you see Harper this afternoon?
04:49Yeah, I checked in with her before she was discharged.
04:52Right, so she'll probably be home by now?
04:54Yeah, I guess so.
04:56Is it actually possible that she could lose sight in her eye?
05:00Yes, it is a possibility, but if the treatment goes well, then she should be fine.
05:09I'm sorry.
05:10This one's just going to take some time.
05:12Yeah.
05:13What's up, little man?
05:16It's just me.
05:18Don't be scared of the patch.
05:19Do you want a hand in there?
05:20Look different.
05:22Come on, Archie.
05:23Give me a break.
05:25Abba?
05:27I don't know how I'm going to do this.
05:29Do what?
05:31Well, not freak out Archie, for starters, but I can't drive, which means I can't work.
05:36I'm stuck.
05:37I don't know how I'm going to do it.
05:38Okay.
05:38You are not entirely alone.
05:40Tana is here.
05:40So as long as I live with my ex forever, I'll be fine.
05:45Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
05:46What if this is permanent?
05:48Well, the ophthalmologist said that you don't need surgery, so that's positive.
05:51Or the damage is already done and my eye will never fully heal.
05:55That's unhelpful.
05:59Hey, how's our favourite patient?
06:01She's...
06:02Now's not really a great time for a visit.
06:09Here we go again.
06:10Do you want me to go?
06:12He has to get used to it.
06:15The large is not happy.
06:17Shh.
06:18Hey, mate.
06:18Don't be scared.
06:19It's just me.
06:20Nope.
06:21You think the patch is freaking him out?
06:25I will be right back, actually.
06:29I wish someone had taken me on a romantic road trip back in the day.
06:35Well, you're not exactly out for the count, Mars.
06:37Oh, stop it.
06:38Oh, Mr. Stewart, I didn't know you were coming back today.
06:40Well, there's no need to make a fuss about it.
06:43I think what she means is it's good to see her.
06:45Well, it is good to see you.
06:46I just didn't know it was going to be today.
06:47Um, did you see Rue?
06:49Because I know she was going to see Martha.
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yeah, Rue and Martha are getting on like a house on fire, so I thought I'd get out of their
06:55road.
06:55Oh, it's nice.
06:56Well, have a seat.
06:56I'll get you some tea.
06:57We're going to have a catch-up.
06:58Thanks, Issa.
07:04Okay.
07:05So, the thing I wanted to talk to you about.
07:08Yeah?
07:09Babe, can you...
07:10I'm trying to talk to you.
07:12Sorry.
07:13I'm listening.
07:16So, the day after Cash and Eden's wedding, what are you doing?
07:20Sleeping off a hangover with you.
07:21Well, how about, instead of that, we pack our bags, we head on a plane, we go...
07:31Babe, can this wait?
07:32Jo wants to meet.
07:33Right now.
07:34Yeah, right now.
07:35It could be important.
07:38I'll see you soon?
07:39Yep.
07:45Sounds like Mr. Archie's asleep.
07:47Why'd you go have a nap?
07:48You don't have to stay.
07:50Don't you have work and a boyfriend?
07:52Well, actually, I was thinking that I would take a few days off and just be your personal nurse and Archie helper.
07:58And just be around for a couple of days.
08:00A couple of days?
08:01Yeah, I mean, Ty's going to be busy with all the best man stuff.
08:05Yeah, the wedding.
08:07I totally forgot.
08:08I'm not sure I'll be up for that.
08:09All right, well, you might feel better tomorrow.
08:11Okay?
08:12But either way, I'm staying.
08:13You don't have to do that.
08:14Please.
08:15You always take care of me.
08:17Thanks.
08:17Hey, I know you said you didn't need my help.
08:23What are you doing back here?
08:25Dana, it's a question.
08:27I've got a little present for Harper.
08:29It's for Archie as well.
08:30Actually, it's mainly for Archie.
08:37My present?
08:37No.
08:38Why?
08:38Go have an app.
08:39What?
08:40Seriously, go to sleep.
08:41So me and I are going to have a little flight.
08:42All right.
08:58Hey.
08:59What's going on?
09:00So any updates?
09:03Dad skipped work today.
09:05So?
09:06So don't you think that's weird?
09:08I mean, I guess.
09:10Is he sick?
09:11No, he's just at home doing admin.
09:13Just admin?
09:15As opposed to what?
09:17Gee, I don't know.
09:18Maybe something to do with the investigation?
09:20I'm worried about him, okay?
09:23What if looking into the accident stirred up a lot and he's not coping?
09:27Well, do you know if he's made any progress since the interview?
09:30Lacey, just forget about the investigation for two seconds.
09:32Maybe if you just ask him about the case.
09:34Why would I do that?
09:35I thought we agreed to leave it to him.
09:37We have.
09:38We are.
09:39I just thought maybe if you could find out where he's at with the case, we'd have more
09:46of an idea of what's affecting him, right?
09:50Why would you get her a pirate teddy?
09:53She doesn't like her patch.
09:55She's going to find this insensitive.
09:57This is not her sense of humor.
09:58Okay, it was supposed to help Archie.
09:59Didn't she say that he's freaking out over the eyepatch?
10:01Yes, and you thought another patch would help.
10:04Well, the idea was...
10:05I know that I was dismissed.
10:07But do you mind keeping it down?
10:07Because if you wake him up...
10:09I'm just going to go before I put another foot wrong, if that's even possible.
10:13I'm sorry, Harper.
10:14Can you go rest?
10:20It's a bit hard to rest when you and your boyfriend are trying to have a fight.
10:24I have my present now.
10:26Here it is.
10:27I told him it was not your sense of humor and that it was dumb.
10:30Yeah, it's cute.
10:32It is.
10:33Yeah, which I look half as cute as this little guy.
10:36Okay?
10:38This is what you're fighting about.
10:40Yeah, because I thought it would upset you.
10:43No, I think Sunny's right.
10:44It could help Archie get used to the way I look right now.
10:47We can call him Patch.
10:49Perfect Patch.
10:51Hmm?
10:57Hey.
10:57Hey, sweetheart.
10:58The girl's just boiled if you want a cuppa.
11:00Oh, I'm good, thank you.
11:03And shouldn't I be making one for you?
11:06You're supposed to be having a sick day, remember?
11:08We talked about this.
11:13You would tell me, though, wouldn't you?
11:16If you weren't okay?
11:17I'm fine.
11:18Why wouldn't I be?
11:19I'm just checking in.
11:21Just making sure nothing's come up in the investigation, maybe?
11:25No, it hasn't.
11:26So you've made no headway, you have no leads?
11:28I'm not going to discuss anything until there's something to discuss.
11:32Dad, the man you were interviewing at the station,
11:40he looked at me like he knew me.
11:43Like he'd seen me before.
11:46Is he a suspect?
11:48Dad, why were you interviewing him?
11:50I thought he was the owner of the Mercedes.
11:56But he wasn't.
11:58It was a dead end.
12:01Okay?
12:04Okay.
12:11Well, Dana can't stay mad at you forever.
12:13Well, she was giving it a decent go.
12:15So this is the first time you're stuffed up?
12:17Oh, really good pep talk.
12:18You guys will figure it out.
12:19You always do.
12:22Hello.
12:23Yep, I'll leave you guys to it.
12:28Sonny.
12:28How's Harper?
12:29She's fine.
12:30Good.
12:31Okay, I just want to say I'm sorry for the present.
12:32I know it was different, but I don't know,
12:34I guess I'm a different kind of guy,
12:36so I don't know, one that's trying to be less of an idiot
12:37and more of someone...
12:38Sonny, can I have a floor, please?
12:40Sorry.
12:42Harper loves the bear.
12:44And so does Archie.
12:46Really?
12:47Yep.
12:48I named him Patch.
12:51And I wanted to say that I am sorry,
12:56because I know that I have been very harsh on you.
13:00It's just because I was taking my stress out on you,
13:03which is unfair, so I'm sorry.
13:07Well, I appreciate that.
13:08So, uh, instead of being insensitive,
13:14the gift was kind of genius?
13:17No, no, I wouldn't go that far.
13:19You say I'm a genius or I'm not going to forgive you.
13:21Don't push it, okay?
13:24Okay.
13:25Hey.
13:32Hey.
13:33How'd you call Dad?
13:35Um, he said he didn't have any luck finding the other driver.
13:38None at all?
13:39What about the guy you saw at the station?
13:41I asked Dad.
13:42He said it was a dead end.
13:43You don't seriously believe that.
13:46Why wouldn't I?
13:47Come on, Joe.
13:48That guy recognised you.
13:49And now Dad's taking work home and he's calling in sick days.
13:52He just needed a break.
13:54Joe, he's got to leave.
13:56That guy is not a dead end.
13:58He's the guy that owns the Mercedes.
14:00How do you know that?
14:04Because I saw his investigation paperwork when I broke into the station.
14:07You said you didn't find anything.
14:09You said you didn't want to be involved.
14:14Okay, so...
14:15Who is he?
14:16What's his name?
14:17Craig Wendell.
14:19Wendell.
14:22Why does that sound familiar?
14:23Because he's a local government councillor.
14:26His name is everywhere.
14:27Look.
14:30And guess where he was the day of the accident?
14:33Opening a library at Baxter Creek Falls.
14:36He was their joke.
14:39That's him.
14:40That's the guy I saw at the station.
14:44Dad lied to my face.
14:46Makes you wonder what else he's not telling you.
14:55Now you've come to find me.
15:00What is this?
15:06It's called romance.
15:08And you better get used to it.
15:10Because there's plenty more where that came from.
15:13Okay.
15:15How are things with Joe?
15:19Um...
15:19False alarm.
15:20False alarm.
15:22What's going on?
15:23Did I forget it was like Valentine's Day or something?
15:25Well, no.
15:27But I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately.
15:29And finding this small town, well, very small since you moved here.
15:35Yep.
15:36That's why I booked us a trip to Tasmania.
15:38I've hired a car.
15:41We'll travel around, explore the wilderness together.
15:45What do you think?
15:47Really?
15:49Yeah.
15:50Have I done good?
15:52Yeah.
15:54Everything good.
15:55It's perfect.
