00:00I have organized a CT just so we can rule out any fractures and that should be done shortly.

00:10And if that comes back clear, is she going to be okay?

00:12It's too soon to say.

00:13Nothing a bit of shut-eye point fix.

00:16Do you think you're being funny?

00:18Sorry, I just tried to brighten the mood. I didn't know what else to say.

00:20Counselor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Lane.

00:23Thanks for coming in.

00:24It was like he recognized me.

00:26When he saw me, he looked scared.

00:27If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed Mum.

00:31And we've got to figure out who he is.

00:33Yeah, I know that he's going to keep trying.

00:34Then let's just leave him to it.

00:37Please.

00:38Okay.

00:39The lawyer rang my boss and complained.

00:42I've been ordered to cease all inquiries.

00:44So you follow the rules and maybe you never get this guy, but if you break him, you get justice for your work.

00:50That's a huge risk.

00:51What is going on?

00:52I went to his house.

00:54I actually can't believe you did this.

00:55Babe, what if someone saw you?

00:57Wendell sounds like a very powerful guy.

01:00Can't you just let your dad be the cop and stay out of it?

01:02Fine.

01:03I'll drop it.

01:05Counselor Wendell.

01:06It's Georgia Delvey again.

01:08You talk to me.

01:09Or I'm talking to the media.

01:11Hey.

01:18Oh, hey.

01:19What have you been up to?

01:21Not much.

01:22Just clocked off work.

01:23Thought I'd grab myself some lunch.

01:24Nice.

01:25Haven't heard from you in a few days.

01:27Oh, yeah.

01:28I've been busy.

01:29Pretty out of practice with this whole sister's thing.

01:32Don't worry.

01:32Me too.

01:33How has dad been?

01:36Fine, I think.

01:37Has he said anything about the investigation?

01:40No, I haven't heard anything.

01:42And I thought we agreed to leave it to him.

01:43Yeah, we are.

01:45Can't help but be a bit curious, though.

01:47He's not going to tell me anything, Lace.

01:49Well, I'm sure we'll get an update really soon.

01:51All right.

01:52See you later.

01:55No, you are not going to get a cab.

01:58I'm going to come and get you.

02:00Yes.

02:01Uh-huh.

02:02Okay, great.

02:03I'll see you soon.

02:04Bye.

02:06Papa's being discharged this afternoon.

02:07It's great.

02:09I think great's the word I would use to describe any of this, but...

02:11Fair enough.

02:12But, I mean, the specialist wouldn't let her go unless she was actually okay, right?

02:16Yeah, well, maybe there's just nothing else they can do.

02:19Hey.

02:20You.

02:21Oh, hey.

02:22Hi.

02:22Heard about your sister.

02:23How's she doing?

02:24Yeah, um, I don't know.

02:26They're letting her go home from the hospital, so...

02:28That's good.

02:29Good to hear.

02:30I mean, something tells me she won't be celebrating with a glass of champagne, though.

02:33You know what I mean?

02:36Just let her know we're happy to help, whatever she needs.

02:38That's really appreciated.

02:40Not that hard, is it?

02:44Dude.

02:45I know.

02:46I'm an idiot.

02:49And you're employed as Councillor Wendell's assistant from March to November.

02:55I'm guessing you remember his car at the time.

02:58A grey Mercedes.

03:02Great.

03:03Do you recall why he wanted it sold so quickly?

03:08Yeah, fair enough.

03:09It was years ago now.

03:12Um, alright, well, thanks a lot for your help.

03:15If you think of anything else, just give me a buzz.

03:17You can call me directly on this number.

03:19Don't bother them at the station.

03:21Okay.

03:23Great, thank you.

03:28If I'd known you were home, I would have brought you lunch.

03:30Ah, that's alright, I'm not hungry.

03:32Why aren't you at work?

03:33It's called a sick day.

03:34I am entitled to them, believe it or not.

03:37You're not feeling well, Dad.

03:39I'm alright, sweetheart.

03:40I just need a rest.

03:41Why'd you bring all that home?

03:44Figured I might as well get some admin done.

03:46Any more questions?

03:48Well, you bring police admin home now?

03:49Since when do you do that?

03:50I'm trying something new.

03:51This smells good.

03:53What is it?

03:54I thought you said you weren't hungry.

03:56I'm not.

03:57Just if there's any leftovers.

04:00You want to go halves?

04:02Yeah.

04:02Alright.

04:03The Harper thing was obviously an accident.

04:10Just go easy on yourself.

04:12But I would lay off on the jokes from now on.

04:14Yep, trust me, I got the message.

04:17Hey, babe.

04:18You want to go grab a coffee?

04:19I actually have something exciting to tell you.

04:21Sure, what is it?

04:22Well, you're going to have to come with me to find out, aren't you?

04:25Okay, I'll grab my bag.

04:29Hey.

04:30Hey.

04:30Hey, good timing.

04:31How was work?

04:32Oh, care's alright.

04:34Still feels a bit weird.

04:35Yeah.

04:37You ready?

04:37Hey.

04:39Bye, guys.

04:40Bye.

04:42Um, did you see Harper this afternoon?

04:44Yeah, I checked in with her before she was discharged.

04:47Right, so she'll probably be home by now?

04:49Yeah, I guess so.

04:51Is it actually possible that she could lose sight in her eye?

04:55Yes, it is a possibility.

04:57But if the treatment goes well, then she should be fine.

05:02I'm sorry.

05:05This one's just going to take some time.

05:07Yeah.

05:10What's up, little man?

05:11It's just me.

05:13Don't be scared of the patch.

05:14Do you want a hand in there?

05:15I look different.

05:15Come on, Archie.

05:18Give me a break.

05:20Abba?

05:22I don't know how I'm going to do this.

05:24Do what?

05:26Well, not freak out Archie, for starters.

05:28I can't drive, which means I can't work.

05:31I'm stuck.

05:32I don't know how I'm going to do it.

05:33Okay, you are not entirely alone.

05:35Tana is here.

05:36So as long as I live with my ex forever, I'll be fine.

05:40Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

05:41What if this is permanent?

05:43Well, the ophthalmologist said that you don't need surgery.

05:45So that's positive.

05:46Or the damage is already done and my eye will never fully heal.

05:50That's unhelpful.

05:54Hey, how's her favourite patient?

05:56Shoes.

05:59Now's not really a great time for a visit.

06:01Here we go again.

06:06Do you want me to go?

06:07He has to get used to it.

06:10The large is not happy.

06:12Shh, hey, mate.

06:13Don't be scared.

06:14It's just me.

06:15Nope.

06:16You think the patch is freaking him out?

06:20I will be right back, actually.

06:26I wish someone had taken me on a romantic road trip back in the day.

06:30Well, you're not exactly out for the count, Matt.

06:32Oh, stop it.

06:33Oh, Mr. Stewart, I didn't know you were coming back today.

06:36Well, there's no need to make a fuss about it.

06:38I think what she means is it's good to see her.

06:40Well, it is good to see you.

06:41I just didn't know it was going to be today.

06:42Um, did you see Rue?

06:44Because I know she was going to see Martha.

06:45Yeah.

06:46Yeah, Rue and Martha are getting on like a house on fire.

06:49So I thought I'd get out of their road.

06:50Oh, that's nice.

06:51Well, have a seat.

06:52I'll get you some tea.

06:52We're going to have a catch-up.

06:54Thanks, Issa.

06:55Okay, so the thing I wanted to talk to you about.

07:03Yeah?

07:04Babe, can you...

07:06I'm trying to talk to you.

07:08Sorry.

07:09I'm listening.

07:11So the day after Cash and Eden's wedding, what are you doing?

07:15Sleeping off a hangover with you.

07:17Well, how about instead of that, we pack our bags.

07:24We head on a plane.

07:26We go...

07:26Babe, can this wait?

07:27Do you want us to meet?

07:28Right now?

07:29Yeah, right now.

07:30It could be important.

07:33I'll see you soon?

07:34Yep.

07:40Sounds like Mr. Archie's asleep.

07:42Why do you go have a nap?

07:43You don't have to stay.

07:45Don't you have work and a boyfriend?

07:47Well, actually, I was thinking that I would take a few days off and just be your personal

07:51nurse and Archie helper.

07:53And just be around for a couple of days.

07:55A couple of days?

07:57Yeah, I mean, Tanya's going to be busy with all the best man stuff.

08:00Yeah, the wedding.

08:02I totally forgot.

08:03I'm not sure I'll be up for that.

08:04All right, well, you might feel better tomorrow, okay?

08:07But either way, I'm staying.

08:08You don't have to do that.

08:09Please.

08:10You always take care of me.

08:12Thanks.

08:15Hey.

08:16Hey, I know you said you didn't need my help, but I...

08:18What are you doing back here?

08:20Gina, it's a question.

08:22I've got a little present for Harper.

08:24It's for Archie as well.

08:26Actually, it's mainly for Archie.

08:32My present?

08:33No.

08:33Why?

08:34Go have an nap.

08:34What?

08:35Seriously, go to sleep.

08:36So me and I are going to have a little flight.

08:39All right.

08:40I guess they need to come out.

08:53Hey.

08:54What's going on?

08:56So any updates?

08:58Dad skipped work today.

09:00So?

09:01So don't you think that's weird?

09:04I mean, I guess.

09:05Is he sick?

09:06No, he's just at home doing admin.

09:08Just admin?

09:11As opposed to what?

09:12Gee, I don't know.

09:13Maybe something to do with the investigation?

09:16I'm worried about him, okay?

09:18What if looking into the accident stirred up a lot and he's not coping?

09:22Well, do you know if he's made any progress since the interview?

09:25Lacey, just forget about the investigation.

09:27Maybe you can just ask him about the case.

09:29Why would I do that?

09:30I thought we agreed to leave it to him.

09:32We have.

09:34We are.

09:37I just thought maybe if you could find out where he's at with the case,

09:40we'd have more of an idea of what's affecting him, right?

09:46Why would you get her a pirate teddy?

09:48She doesn't like her patch.

09:50She's going to find this insensitive.

09:52This is not her sense of humor.

09:53Okay, it was supposed to help Archie.

09:54Didn't she say that he's freaking out over the eye patch?

09:57Yes, and you thought another patch would help.

09:59Like, I know that I was dismissed.

10:02But do you mind keeping it down?

10:03Because if you wake him up, I'm...

10:04Right, I'm just going to go before I put another foot wrong,

10:07if that's even possible.

10:08I'm sorry, Harper.

10:13Can you go rest?

10:15It's a bit hard to rest when you and your boyfriend

10:16are trying to have a fight.

10:19Can I have my present now?

10:21Here it is.

10:22I told him it was not your sense of humor

10:24and that it was done.

10:25No, it's cute.

10:27It is.

10:28Yeah, which I look half as cute as this little guy.

10:32Okay.

10:34This is what you're fighting about.

10:35Yeah, because I thought it would upset you.

10:38Yeah, I think Sonny's right.

10:40It could help Archie get used to the way I look right now.

10:42We can call him Patch.

10:44Perfect Patch.

10:45Hmm?

10:52Hey.

10:52Hey, sweetheart.

10:53Gail's just boiled, if you want a cuppa.

10:55Oh, I'm good, thank you.

10:58And shouldn't I be making one for you?

11:01You're supposed to be having a sick day, remember?

11:03We talked about this.

11:04You would tell me, though, wouldn't you?

11:11If you weren't okay?

11:12I'm fine.

11:13Why wouldn't I be?

11:14I'm just checking in.

11:17Just making sure nothing's come up in the investigation, maybe?

11:20No, it hasn't.

11:21So you've made no headway.

11:22You have no leads.

11:24I'm not going to discuss anything until there's something to discuss.

11:27Dad, the man you were interviewing at the station, he looked at me like he knew me.

11:38Like he'd seen me before.

11:41Is he a suspect?

11:43Dad, why were you interviewing him?

11:47I thought he was the owner of the Mercedes, but he wasn't.

11:53It was a dead end.

11:54Okay.

11:59Okay.

12:06Oh, Dana can't stay mad at you forever.

12:08Well, she was giving it a decent go.

12:10It's not like this is the first time you're stuffed up.

12:12Oh, really good pep talk.

12:13You guys will figure it out.

12:15You always do.

12:17Hello.

12:18Yep, I'll leave you guys to it.

12:22Hey, uh...

12:23Sonny.

12:23How's Harper?

12:25She's fine.

12:25Good.

12:26Okay, I just want to say I'm sorry for the present.

12:28I know it was different, but I don't know.

12:29I guess I'm a different kind of guy, so I don't know.

12:31One that's trying to be less of an idiot and more of someone...

12:33Sonny, can I have the floor, please?

12:35Sorry.

12:37Harper loves the bear.

12:39And so does Archie.

12:41Really?

12:42Yep.

12:43I named him Patch.

12:46And I wanted to say that I am sorry.

12:51Because I know that I have been very harsh on you.

12:55It's just because I was taking my stress out on you.

12:59Which is unfair.

13:00So I'm sorry.

13:02Well, I appreciate that.

13:03So, uh, instead of being insensitive, the gift was kind of genius?

13:12No, no, I'm going to go that far.

13:14You say I'm a genius or I'm not going to forgive you.

13:16Don't push it.

13:17Okay.

13:19Get in.

13:26Hey.

13:27Hey.

13:28How'd you call Dad?

13:30Um, he said he didn't have any luck finding the other driver.

13:33None at all?

13:34What about the guy you saw at the station?

13:36I asked Dad.

13:37He said it was a dead end.

13:38You don't seriously believe that.

13:41Why wouldn't I?

13:42Come on, Joe.

13:43That guy recognised you.

13:44And now Dad's taking work home and he's calling in sick days.

13:47He just needed a break.

13:49Joe.

13:50He's got to leave.

13:51That guy is not a dead end.

13:53He's the guy that owns the Mercedes.

13:57How do you know that?

13:59Because I saw his investigation paperwork when I broke into the station.

14:02You said you didn't find anything.

14:04You said you didn't want to be involved.

14:06Okay, so who is he?

14:11What's his name?

14:12Craig Wendell.

14:14Wendell.

14:17Why does that sound familiar?

14:19Because he's a local government councillor.

14:21His name is everywhere.

14:22Look.

14:25And guess where he was the day of the accident?

14:28Opening a library at Baxter Creek Falls.

14:31He was there, Joe.

14:34That's him.

14:34That's the guy I saw at the station.

14:39Dad lied to my face.

14:41Makes you wonder what else he's not telling you.

14:42Now you've come to find me.

14:55What is this?

15:01It's called romance.

15:03And you better get used to it.

15:05Because there's plenty more where that came from.

15:08Okay.

15:08How are things with Joe?

15:13Um, false alarm.

15:17What's going on?

15:18Did I forget it was like Valentine's Day or something?

15:20Well, no.

15:22But I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately.

15:24And finding this small town, well, very small since you moved here.

15:29Yep.

15:31That's why I booked us a trip to Tasmania.

15:35I've hired a car.

15:36We'll travel around, explore the wilderness together.

15:40What do you think?

15:42Really?

15:44Yeah.

15:45Have I done good?

15:46Everything good.

15:50It's perfect.

15:51Yes.

16:03Hey, where have you been?

16:05Oh, I just went for a walk.

16:06I've got some pasta on the go if you want some.

16:09I'm good.

16:09Thanks.

16:10Thanks.

16:11Thanks.

16:12Thanks.

16:13Thanks.

16:14Thanks.

16:15Thanks.

16:16Thanks.

16:46Thanks.

16:47Thanks.

16:48Thanks.

16:49Thanks.

16:50Thanks.

16:51Thanks.

16:52Thanks.

16:53Thanks.

16:54Thanks.

16:55Thanks.

16:56Thanks.

16:57Thanks.

16:58Thanks.

16:59Thanks.

17:01Hey.

17:02How'd you sleep?

17:04Not great.

17:05The pain kept me awake.

17:07Has Tano left already?

17:09Yeah.

17:10He said he had, like, thousands of things to do.

17:12Hmm.

17:13I definitely can't go to the wedding.

17:16I feel bad for Cash, though.

17:18I hope he understands.

17:20Right, of course he's going to understand.

17:22Um, yeah, okay, well then, you just sit tight and I will call him for both of us.

17:28Hey, hey, if you're not going, I'm not going.

17:31Don't be ridiculous, Sonny can't go by himself.

17:34He totally can, but also he just won't.

17:37As soon as he finds out I'm not going, he's just going to want to stay and help.

17:40Banner.

17:41It's a wedding, it's one day.

17:43I would literally rather be here with you.

17:46I don't believe you, but thank you.

17:49I'm going to go home, I'm going to grab some stuff.

17:51Are you going to be okay for like half an hour?

17:53Yeah, and if I'm not, I'll just ask Patch to help me.

17:56You guys are a very cute couple.

18:00Cash!

18:01It's Dano.

18:03So, I'm sorry, but the vibe of your wedding is about to plummet.

18:09Yeah.

18:11Listen, counsellor, I'm not messing around.

18:13You call me back or I'm going to the media.

18:15I mean it.

18:16Thanks for meeting up with me again.

18:20Do you need a coffee?

18:21You look like you need one.

18:22No offence.

18:24Listen, you're not going to believe this, but I knew there was a reason I knew that name,

18:27and it's not because of his public profile.

18:29Who?

18:29Wendell?

18:30Yep.

18:31Look at this.

18:32The guest book from mum's funeral.

18:35Look at this.

18:37There.

18:37He was there, Lacey.

18:44He went to mum's funeral.

18:45You're going to cereal and toast?

18:58Yeah, I'm bulking.

19:01A bit early, isn't it?

19:03The wedding isn't in until tomorrow.

19:05Yeah, I thought I'd give the new suit a test run before the big day, you know?

19:08You look great.

19:09At least I can trust someone for some honest feedback.

19:11Yeah, come on, you're going to miss me when I head off with Lacey in a couple of days.

19:14Yeah, however am I going to cope?

19:16You won't, obviously.

19:18Oh, well.

19:19Everybody's here.

19:21Who is this handsome man?

19:23Sonny Baldwin.

19:24Pleasure to meet you.

19:25Pleasure.

19:28It's interesting.

19:30What does that even mean?

19:31I'm not sure about what.

19:32Don't read into it.

19:33You said I just thought I'd try the suit on, you know, before the wedding.

19:36Yes.

19:37Actually, you're going to have to bring me back a piece of cake.

19:41Are you not going?

19:42No.

19:43It's Harper.

19:44She can't really be left alone.

19:46And someone needs to take care of her and that someone is me.

19:49What makes two of us, I'm not going either.

19:51Oh, yay.

19:52Well, don't worry.

19:53You still have plenty of fun without me.

19:55Well, I will be sure to bring home two slices of cake.

19:57One for you as well, Brie.

19:58Hey, what are you two doing here?

20:09Just checking in on you.

20:11Seeing if you're going to work today.

20:13Hmm.

20:13Looks like he's not.

20:15Hey.

20:17What's going on?

20:18I'm just wondering when you got so good at lying to me.

20:21What are you talking about?

20:22Don't even try it, Dad.

20:23We know that you know who owns a Mercedes.

20:25It's Craig Wendell.

20:26You interviewed him.

20:27He's beyond sus, right?

20:29How do you know all this?

20:30Well, you're not the only one who knows how to run an investigation.

20:36What are you doing with this?

20:37Look.

20:43He was at the funeral.

20:45Yeah.

20:46So tell me, Dad.

20:47Why would he go if he wasn't involved in some way?

20:50This has got to prove he's guilty, right?

20:56This is all circumstantial.

21:01None of it proves anything.

21:02Why are you doing this?

21:03Doing what?

21:04Pretending it means nothing.

21:06I called Wendell.

21:07I left a message warning him that if he didn't come clean, then I would take the story to the

21:11media.

21:12You threatened him.

21:13Yeah.

21:13We have no idea what Wendell is capable of, so you need to stay away from him and let

21:19me handle this.

21:20We need answers now.

21:21Well, I thought you just agreed to let Dad handle it.

21:23I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell, but that doesn't mean that me and you can't take

21:26matters into our own hands.

21:27I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell.
