00:00I'm really worried about Lacey.
00:10Me too.
00:11She's gonna need a space for a very long time.
00:14Don't listen to your silly mum, Archie, okay?
00:16We're the only family you're ever gonna need.
00:18The only grandparents that Archie has are our mum and dad.
00:21Would it be so bad if I tried to track them down?
00:24Those people have made our lives hell.
00:26I can't believe you'd want your child anywhere near them.
00:29I'm not asking you to talk to them.
00:31I just need your blessing.
00:33Sorry, but no.
00:34Can I ask you a favour?
00:35Could you look them up on the police database?
00:37Do you know what happens to me if I get caught doing that?
00:39So don't get caught.
00:40It's me again.
00:41Please, Mac, just tell me you're okay.
00:43I've tried calling her a few times,
00:45but she will not answer to anyone with the last name Bowler.
00:48Hi, Mac. How are you?
00:50Mac, hi. It's Eden.
00:52Yeah, look, I know that you wanted space,
00:54but Levi hasn't heard from you at all.
00:57Don't push him away, okay?
01:00You need Levi now more than ever, okay?
01:03She hung up on me.
01:05I am so sorry if I've made things worse.
01:08It's a good day for a good day with you.
01:16I was thinking after brekkie we could do some retail therapy in Abbey Creek.
01:21Sure.
01:22And then maybe catch a movie?
01:25Sounds good.
01:27Unless you'd rather do something else.
01:29No, no, the movie sounds fun.
01:31I'm just a little curious that you are keen to hang out,
01:34considering everything yesterday.
01:36Yeah, well, things got pretty tense,
01:38but I was hoping we could forget all about that.
01:41I would love to put all of that nonsense behind us.
01:47Hey, here she is, Mrs Newman.
01:50Oh, it's Bowler, actually.
01:52Oh, good.
01:53Yes.
01:54I'm glad to hear that.
01:55Tanya showed me photos of the wedding.
01:56You were really beautiful.
01:58You really did.
01:59I'm sorry we couldn't be there.
02:00Hey, no, you had a great excuse.
02:02How's your eye going?
02:03Yeah, it's back to normal.
02:04Thank goodness.
02:06Anyway, I should get this one up to eat,
02:08because she becomes a bit of a menace when she's hungry.
02:10Yeah, thank you.
02:11I will see you out there.
02:14Pancakes?
02:16Molly!
02:17Hi!
02:19How you doing?
02:20What do you want?
02:22Okay, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
02:25What do you expect?
02:26Mac is furious with me because of you.
02:29Don't ever put me in a position like that again.
02:32And if I was you, I would steer well clear of your brother.
02:41Coffee?
02:43Yeah.
02:44Need a double shot, please.
02:45I'm guessing you barely slept after your phone call with Mac?
02:48You heard that, huh?
02:49I think the whole bae probably heard that.
02:52Hey, guys.
02:54Oh, you look terrible.
02:56Do I?
02:57Because I was up half the night, thanks to you.
03:00Mac called him.
03:01Oh.
03:02That's what Molly was talking about.
03:04Wait, so she's talking to you now?
03:06Only to tell me a new one.
03:08Sorry.
03:09Maybe I should call her and apologize?
03:11Maybe you shouldn't.
03:12Definitely don't do that.
03:13I think you've done enough.
03:20I don't know how much more of this he can take.
03:25Hey, Harper, it's Cash.
03:26I've got an update on your parents, but...
03:29I'd probably rather talk to you about it in person.
03:31Can you give me a text when you're free?
03:33Thanks.
03:36Hey, Sarge.
03:37Heard you got Wendell to confess.
03:39Congratulations.
03:40Yeah, thanks.
03:41And, um, thanks again for all your good police work.
03:45Yeah, no problem.
03:46Got a good result.
03:48From a police point of view...
03:52How is Lacey?
03:54Some days, like today, okay.
03:57Others, not so much.
03:59Yeah, I can't imagine.
04:00At least now she's living with us, so we can keep an eye on her.
04:03Well, that's nice.
04:04Got the family back together.
04:05Yeah, definitely a silver lining.
04:07Yeah.
04:08Anyway, I think it's past your knock-off.
04:10Yeah, it certainly is.
04:12You have a good day, Sarge.
04:14You too.
04:25Alrighty, guys.
04:26Let's head down to the beach.
04:28Let's go.
04:32Actually, give me five seconds.
04:33I'll meet you just down there.
04:37Lacey.
04:38Just who I was looking for.
04:40How are you?
04:42You don't want to know about that.
04:44Well, it's good to see you.
04:46How are things at the board shop?
04:48Do you miss me?
04:49For sure.
04:51But no, it's...
04:52It's good.
04:53Not too busy.
04:54I don't know how hectic things can get.
04:55Especially when you're running the place on your own.
04:58Actually, I've kind of got it covered for now.
05:01You guys were still meant to be in Tassie.
05:03So...
05:05Right.
05:07Anyway...
05:09Don't feel as if you have to rush to come back to work.
05:11Just...
05:12Just come back when you're ready.
05:14Hey, um, do you have any time to hang?
05:19I wish.
05:21But I got to get down to the class.
05:22Oh, of course.
05:25Maybe another time, though?
05:26Don't.
05:27The Grom's waiting.
05:29It's out.
05:30Here you go.
05:40Scrambled eggs.
05:42Favourites.
05:43I didn't order this.
05:44I know.
05:45It's a...
05:46It's a peace offering.
05:47I'm not hungry.
05:49Again.
05:50I am so, so sorry.
05:51I didn't mean to make things worse for you.
05:53I'm sorry, too.
05:54The situation between me and Mac...
05:57It's not your fault.
05:58Yeah, but I didn't exactly help, did I?
06:00You tried.
06:01But...
06:02For now...
06:03This is just how it is, so...
06:05Okay, well, I'm here for you.
06:06Whatever you need.
06:07Yeah, that's...
06:08If...
06:09We're all good.
06:11I can only handle one messy relationship at once.
06:15Besides, how can I be upset at someone for giving me free breakfast?
06:21Enjoyed.
06:22Hey.
06:26I haven't seen you here in ages.
06:29How are you?
06:31Uh, do you wanna talk about it over coffee?
06:33If you're free?
06:34Well, I just clocked on.
06:35But if you ever want a girls' night out or in, I'm all yours.
06:38Just say the word.
06:40That'd be great.
06:42Thanks.
06:43Don't make your coffee.
06:46Like I said, the trashier the movie, the better.
06:48I'll check the session times.
06:53Uh, actually, I need to make a call.
06:55Okay.
06:56It's a work thing.
06:59Can we rain check the movie?
07:01What?
07:02I'll make it up to you, I promise.
07:04You better.
07:13Hey, what are you doing here?
07:15I bought you some morning tea.
07:17Oh, thanks, but you didn't need to come all this way.
07:19No, I wanted to.
07:21It's way better than sitting around the house with my myself.
07:24I thought Jo was with you.
07:25Uh, she got called into work, I think.
07:27Or maybe she's hanging out with Tani.
07:28Who knows?
07:29What's that supposed to mean?
07:31Have you not noticed how much they've been hanging out recently?
07:34Yeah.
07:35I know that they're friends.
07:37What kind of a copper are you?
07:41Anyways, I'm just trying to keep busy.
07:43I might throw the lawn or something later.
07:45Wow.
07:46I know.
07:47Can you chase up that DOI?
07:48Yes, Sarge.
07:49Unless you've got any chores or anything you want me to do?
07:54Yeah, I could find you something to do around here.
07:56Like police work?
07:57Yeah.
07:58I was going to get one of the junior officers to do it, but, uh, if you're keen.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Yeah, for sure.
08:04Take a seat.
08:05Thanks, Dad.
08:22Hey.
08:23Thanks for coming over.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Tani home?
08:26Uh, no.
08:27He's taken Archie for the day.
08:29I take it you found something on my parents.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah, I did hard.
08:34But there's no easy way to tell you this.
08:36But...
08:38Your father died.
08:39Four years ago.
08:43How did he die?
08:44Drug overdose.
08:45Drug overdose.
08:54You alright?
08:56Yeah.
08:57I'm just...
08:59Disappointed.
09:00He didn't turn his life around.
09:02Yeah.
09:03Uh, what about Mum?
09:06She's still alive.
09:07Were they still together when he died?
09:09According to the police report, yeah.
09:11Do you know what happened to her afterwards?
09:13No.
09:14She hasn't been in trouble with the police since.
09:16Right, so maybe Dad's death was a wake-up call?
09:20Yeah.
09:23What is this?
09:24That is a copy of both of their police records.
09:26It's also got your father's death certificate,
09:28and your mother's last known whereabouts.
09:32Uh, thank you.
09:33We are gonna have to keep this between us.
09:35Yeah, of course.
09:39Do you think you'll get in touch?
09:42Uh, I'm not sure yet.
09:54No wonder you tried to pass this over to a junior.
09:57Talk about boring.
09:59You were cain for the work.
10:00Yeah, but when you said photocopying,
10:01I thought you meant, like, case files,
10:03not crime stopper posters.
10:06Case files are off limits to civilians.
10:09Even old clothes ones?
10:10Sorry.
10:12This is so pathetic.
10:13Hanging around my Dad's office like a lost kid.
10:19Don't be so hard on yourself.
10:24Hey.
10:25You have suffered a huge loss.
10:30I know exactly what you're going through.
10:32You and Mum were together way longer than Theo and I.
10:36That doesn't make what you're feeling any less important.
10:39You two loved each other.
10:43I really did.
10:44I thought he was it for me.
10:50How did you keep doing it?
11:00Keep living on every day after Mum died?
11:02I had you two to focus on.
11:03And I knew your Mum would want me to keep moving forward.
11:18It's hard.
11:21But Theo would want you to live your life too.
11:23Hey, Levi.
11:38Hey, sorry about everything.
11:40Thanks.
11:42How you doing?
11:43Come on.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Look.
11:47Is Eden still upstairs?
11:48Yeah, yeah.
11:49She's up there.
11:50Okay.
11:51I'll see you around.
11:52Yeah.
11:53Yeah, right.
12:02So Mac seems totally fine.
12:06Okay.
12:07That's great.
12:08Hey, listen.
12:09I better get back to it.
12:10I'm flat out today.
12:12Alright.
12:13See you, Dean.
12:14So Mackenzie seems totally fine.
12:17You heard that?
12:19Look, we both know it's a front.
12:21If Mack was coping, she wouldn't be lashing out the way that she is.
12:26Maybe just give her some time.
12:29She's still struggling.
12:32She's not the only one.
12:34I'm trying to hide these thoughts, but you know me too well.
12:43Okay.
12:44So important that we couldn't talk about it over the phone.
12:47I have news about Dad.
12:55I don't want to hear it.
12:56You need to.
12:57Am I?
12:58You dead or something?
13:02Seriously.
13:03Good.
13:09You're allowed to be sad.
13:10I'm not sad.
13:12I'm not.
13:14I might probably dance on his grave if I could be bothered to find it.
13:18Is that it?
13:19But you don't want to hear about Mum?
13:20Why, is she dead as well?
13:21No, Dana.
13:22She's alive.
13:23As far as I know.
13:25I have her last known address.
13:27How would you want that?
13:28Also, where are you getting this information, anyway?
13:34Okay, great.
13:35I'll put you into the Mondays.
13:36Perfect.
13:37I will see you then.
13:38Okay, wait.
13:39It's the truth, mate.
13:40I thought I was running around like a blue-bum flyer, but you put me to show.
13:43Luckily, I'm good at multitasking, eh?
13:45Modest too, eh?
13:46I'll move you through it.
13:48Hey, buddy.
13:49All the boards are 10% off.
13:50Sweet.
13:51I knew you'd be busy, so I thought I'd save you the trip upstairs.
13:54And this is why you are my favourite person ever.
13:57Hmm.
13:58I'm everyone's favourite.
13:59Hmm.
14:00Looks like you spread a little thin today.
14:01Yeah, I am.
14:02Do you want me to take my break early so I can help?
14:04Don't worry.
14:05I've got it.
14:07Yeah, what are you doing here?
14:09I'm coming back to work.
14:12It's time.
14:13Why are you dodging the question?
14:19How did you find out about mum and dad?
14:20I told you it's not important.
14:22Did you look online?
14:23Did you go through someone at work?
14:24Does it really matter?
14:26Was it cash?
14:27It was cash, wasn't it?
14:29I can't believe you'd make him do that.
14:30I didn't make him do it.
14:32I asked him and he agreed to look them up on the police database.
14:35Which is illegal and he'd be risking his career.
14:37Which is why you can't mention it to anybody.
14:40What is wrong with you?
14:41After everything we spoke about and you still went behind my back.
14:45I was really hoping that we could have a calm conversation about this.
14:48Okay.
14:49What are you gonna do now that you know where she lives?
14:51Are you gonna rock up on her doorstep?
14:52I'm not sure.
14:54I was just hoping to find out the lay of the land and discuss it with you.
14:57Don't do it.
14:58Discussion over.
15:01So this really doesn't change anything for you.
15:05Why would it?
15:06Would knowing that dad's gone,
15:08you're not even the slightest bit curious about what's happened to mum.
15:11No.
15:13I don't care if she's alive.
15:14She is dead to me.
15:15Hey.
15:16Sorry to bother you, but can I ask you a quick question?
15:30Sure.
15:32Do you think it's okay for Lacey to be back at work?
15:34When did this happen?
15:35This morning.
15:36She was pretty insistent about it actually.
15:38Hey dad, what are you doing here?
15:40Hey.
15:41Just grabbing a coffee.
15:43I can see you back at work.
15:45Yeah, well I thought about what you said and you're right.
15:48That you would want me to move on with my life.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Besides, it's far more fun than photocopying posters at the cop shop.
15:55Plus I'm getting paid for it.
15:57Okay.
15:58Well just take it slowly.
15:59Call me if you need anything.
16:02Go back to work dad.
16:04Alright.
16:08I put extra in in case you have to stay back later.
16:10Thanks.
16:12You okay?
16:13I'm late.
16:14For what?
16:15He's going to work.
16:16Seriously?
16:17Yes, I'm going to work.
16:18Are you sure there isn't anything else we can do to help?
16:20No.
16:21Can you just stay out of my relationship?
16:23Both of you?
16:24I know you're trying to help, but I've got this.
16:29Keep an eye on him when he gets home.
16:31Yep.
16:32Thanks.
16:35Okay.
16:36My shift is officially over.
16:37I don't need to help my brother, so I am all yours.
16:40Let's go.
16:41Let's go.
16:42I just had a really interesting conversation with my sister.
16:45Dana, I am sorry for your loss.
16:47Oh, what happened?
16:48Why did you interfere?
16:49Harper asked me to look into it for her.
16:50It's a private matter, and one that I told her to drop.
16:53And so did Tana, actually.
16:54Okay, hang on, what's going on?
16:55Also, it's totally illegal.
16:57You're lucky I don't go tell someone.
16:58Dana, it's okay.
16:59Hey, Cash broke all sorts of rules for you when you first came to town.
17:01I'd even hear you complaining then.
17:03I am sorry that this has upset you.
17:04I'm just doing what your sister asked me to do.
17:06Maybe you need to speak to her and find out why she can't let this go.
17:17I'm not here to fight.
17:19I want you to listen to me, okay?
17:21I know that you want Archie to have grandparents.
17:24And I know that you are hoping Mum has changed.
17:27But I need you to understand me when I say that all of that is a fantasy.
17:32You don't know that.
17:33You see, I do know that because our mother should never be near a child again.
17:38Okay.
17:39I am not denying that she was abusive and neglectful.
17:44But it's been four years since Dad died and people change.
17:47Yeah, but monsters don't.
17:51You're never going to forgive her, are you?
17:54You know, I don't have to.
17:55I don't have to because I hate her.
17:57And after everything that she did to us, you should too.
18:03Delivery cone for you?
18:10Yeah.
18:18It's from one of Theo's surf students.
18:21So sorry to hear about Theo.
18:24He was a great teacher and an even greater guy.
18:27Do right he was.
18:30Surfboards are all lined up and ready for your next class.
18:32Ooh.
18:33Someone got you flowers?
18:35Yeah, hey, we should do some stock take soon.
18:38Hey, don't change the subject.
18:40Are they from Abbey?
18:41No.
18:42Molly, have you got a secret admirer?
18:45Why are you bringing me a cup of tea?
18:46It's not going to change my mind.
18:47Yes, Dana.
18:48I am aware how stubborn you are.
18:49This is not about me being stubborn.
18:50I'm being realistic.
18:51Mum has had a clean record since Dad died.
18:52Mm-hmm.
18:53It's not about me being stubborn.
18:54I'm being realistic.
18:55Mum has had a clean record since Dad died.
18:56Mm-hmm.
18:57So she's managed to avoid the cops for a couple of years?
18:58Or she has changed.
18:59Can you please acknowledge for me how crazy that sounds?
19:00Why is it so crazy you changed?
19:01Don't think so.
19:02I'm not going to change my mind.
19:03I'm not going to change my mind.
19:04I'm not going to change my mind.
19:05Why are you bringing me a cup of tea?
19:06Why are you bringing me a cup of tea?
19:07It's not going to change my mind.
19:08Yes, Dana.
19:09I am aware how stubborn you are.
19:10This is not about me being stubborn.
19:11I'm being realistic.
19:12Mum has had a clean record since Dad died.
19:13Mm-hmm.
19:14So she's managed to avoid the cops for a couple of years?
19:15Or she has changed.
19:16Can you please acknowledge for me how crazy that sounds?
19:17Why is it so crazy you changed?
19:18Don't compare me to them.
19:19That's not what I meant.
19:20What do you mean, then?
19:21I expected you to have a little more perspective on this.
19:22Well, I'm sorry that all I have when it comes to Mum and Dad is fear.
19:27Fear of what mood they'd be in the mood.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30I'm sorry that all I have when it comes to Mum and Dad is fear.
19:41Fear of what mood they'd be in when we got home from school.
19:44If they'd be home.
19:45And if they were home, how high would they be?
19:47How many of their friends were hanging around?
19:49Yeah, I get that.
19:51I felt that too.
19:52Yeah?
19:53Then why are you pushing this?
19:54Why would you want Archie exposed to that?
19:56If she is still a mess, of course I don't want him exposed to that.
20:00But if she could be a good grandparent...
20:02No, she can't be.
20:03There isn't a chance.
20:05We don't need her.
20:07The moment you bring her back into our lives...
20:12It's gonna be chaos.
20:14Just like it was when we were kids.
20:16Our love soared with every breath.
20:26Butterflies when we began.
20:31My heart raised but reached the end.
20:37There was a tie between my mind and what I felt.
20:47It's gonna be chaos.
20:48It's gonna be chaos.
20:49It's gonna be chaos.
20:50It's gonna be chaos.
20:51It's gonna be chaos.
20:52It's gonna be chaos.
20:53It's gonna be chaos.
20:54It's gonna be chaos.
20:55It's gonna be chaos.
20:56It's gonna be chaos.
20:57It's gonna be chaos.
20:58It's gonna be chaos.
20:59It's gonna be chaos.
21:00It's gonna be chaos.
21:01It's gonna be chaos.
21:02It's gonna be chaos.
21:03It's gonna be chaos.
21:04It's gonna be chaos.
21:05It's gonna be chaos.
21:06It's gonna be chaos.
21:07It's gonna be chaos.
21:08It's gonna be chaos.
21:09It's gonna be chaos.
