Home and Away
Transcript
00:00I'm really worried about Lacey.
00:10Me too.
00:11She's going to need a space for a very long time.
00:14Don't listen to your silly mum, aren't you?
00:15Okay?
00:16We're the only family you're ever going to 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.
00:32Sorry, 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.
00:42Just 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 Valwa.
00:48Hi, Mac.
00:48How are you?
00:50Mac, hi.
00:50It'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.
00:59Okay, you need Levi now more than ever, okay?
01:03She hung up on me.
01:05I am so sorry if I've made things worse.
01:10It's a good day for a good day with you.
01:14I 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.
01:26Unless you'd rather do something else.
01:29No, no.
01:30The movie sounds fun.
01:32I'm just a little curious that you are keen to hang out,
01:35considering everything yesterday.
01:36Yeah, well, things got pretty tense,
01:39but I was hoping we could forget all about that.
01:41I would love to put all of that nonsense behind us.
01:45Hey, here she is, Mrs. Newman.
01:50Oh, it's Fowler, actually.
01:52Oh, good.
01:53Yes.
01:53I'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?
02:16Marley!
02:17Hi!
02:19How you doing?
02:20What do you want?
02:22Okay.
02:23Someone 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.
02:31And if I was you, I would steer well clear of your brother.
02:41Coffee?
02:42Yeah.
02:43Make a double shot, please.
02:45I'm guessing you barely slept after your phone call with Mac.
02:47You heard that, huh?
02:49I think the whole bae probably heard that.
02:51Hey, 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 Marley was talking about.
03:04Wait, so she's talking to you now?
03:06Only to have 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.
03:14I think you've done enough.
03:20I don't know how much more of this he can take.
03:22Hey, Harper, it's Cash.
03:26I've got an update on your parents, but I'd probably rather talk to you about it in person.
03:30Can you give me a text when you're free?
03:32Thanks.
03:35Hey, Sergeant.
03:37Heard you got Wendell to confess.
03:39Congratulations.
03:39Yeah, thanks, and thanks again for all your good police work.
03:44Yeah, no problem.
03:46Got a good result.
03:47From a police point of view.
03:48How is Lacey?
03:53Some days, like today, okay.
03:57Others, not so much.
03:58Yeah, I can imagine.
04:00At least now she's living with us, so we can keep an eye on her.
04:03That's nice.
04:03Got the family back together.
04:04Yeah, definitely a silver lining.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Anyway, I think it's past your knockoff.
04:09Yeah, it certainly is.
04:12You have a good day, Sergeant.
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.
04:34I'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?
04:48You miss me?
04:49For sure.
04:50But, no, it's good.
04:52Not too busy.
04:53I 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.
05:00You guys were still meant to be in Tassie, so.
05:03Right.
05:07Anyway, don't feel as if you have to rush to come back to work.
05:11Just come back when you're ready.
05:16Hey, do you have any time to hang?
05:18I wish they are going to get down to the class.
05:22Oh, of course.
05:24Maybe another time, though?
05:26Don't.
05:27The grumps waiting.
05:29It's out.
05:29Here you go.
05:40Scrambled eggs.
05:42Favourites.
05:43I didn't order this.
05:44I know.
05:45It's a peace offering.
05:47I'm not hungry.
05:49Again.
05:50I am so, so sorry.
05:52I didn't mean to make things worse for you.
05:53I'm sorry, too.
05:54The situation between me and Mac, it's not your fault.
05:58Yeah, but I didn't exactly help, did I?
06:00You tried.
06:01But for now, this is just how it is, so.
06:05Okay, well, I'm here for you.
06:06Whatever you need.
06:07Yeah, that's if we're all good.
06:10I can only handle one messy relationship at once.
06:15Besides, how can I be upset at someone for giving me free breakfast?
06:21Enjoy.
06:25Hey.
06:26I haven't seen you here in ages.
06:29How are you?
06:31Uh, do you want to talk about it over coffee, if 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.
06:41Thanks.
06:43I'll make your coffee.
06:46Like I said, the trashier the movie, the better.
06:49I'll check the session times.
06:53Uh, actually, I need to make a call.
06:55Okay.
06:56It's a work thing.
06:58Can we rain check the movie?
07:01What?
07:01I'll make it up to you, I promise.
07:04You better.
07:05Hey, what are you doing here?
07:15I brought you some morning tea.
07:17Thanks, 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.
07:23I thought Jo was with you.
07:24Uh, she got called into work, I think.
07:26Or maybe she's hanging out with Tane.
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.
07:34I know that they're friends.
07:37What kind of a copper are you?
07:38Anyways, I'm just trying to keep busy.
07:43I might mow the lawn or something later.
07:45Wow.
07:46I know.
07:47Can you chase up that DUI?
07:48Yes, Sarge.
07:49Unless you've got any chores or anything you want me to do?
07:53Yeah, I could find you something to do around here.
07:56Like police work?
07:57Yeah.
07:57I was going to get one of the junior officers to do it, but, uh, if you're keen.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Yeah, for sure.
08:03Take a seat.
08:05Thanks, Dad.
08:22Hey.
08:23Thanks for coming over.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Tane at home?
08:27Uh, no.
08:27He's taken Archie for the day.
08:29I take it you found something on my parents.
08:32Yeah, yeah, I did hard, but there's no easy way to tell you this, but your father died four years ago.
08:43How did he die?
08:44Drug overdose.
08:53You all right?
08:56Yeah, I'm just disappointed he didn't turn his life around.
09:01Yes.
09:03Uh, what about Mum?
09:05She'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?
09:19Yeah.
09:22What is this?
09:23That is a copy of both of their police records.
09:26It's also got your father's death certificate and your mother's last known whereabouts.
09:32Uh, thank you.
09:33We are going to have to keep this between us.
09:35Yeah, of course.
09:39Do you think you'll get in touch?
09:43I'm not sure yet.
09:44No wonder you tried to pass this over to a junior.
09:57Talk about boring.
09:58You were keen for the work.
10:00Yeah, but when you said photocopying, I thought you meant, like, case files, not crime stopper posters.
10:06Case files are off limits to civilians.
10:08Even old clothes ones?
10:10Sorry.
10:11Oh, this is so pathetic.
10:14Hanging around my dad's office like a lost kid.
10:18Don't be so hard on yourself.
10:24Hey.
10:26You 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.
10:35That doesn't make what you're feeling any less important.
10:39You two loved each other.
10:41I really did.
10:48I thought he was it for me.
10:58How did you keep doing it?
11:02Keep living on every day after mum died?
11:05I had you two to focus on.
11:11And I knew your mum would want me to keep moving forward.
11:15It's hard.
11:20But Theo would want you to live your life too.
11:23Hey, Levi.
11:38Hey, sorry about everything.
11:41Thanks.
11:42How you doing?
11:44Yeah.
11:45Yeah.
11:45Um, look.
11:46Is Eden still upstairs?
11:47Yeah, yeah.
11:48She's up there.
11:49Okay.
11:49I'll see you around.
11:51Yeah.
11:58Yeah, right.
12:02So Mac seems totally fine.
12:06Okay.
12:07That's great.
12:08Hey, listen.
12:08I better get back to it.
12:09I'm flat out today.
12:10All right.
12:12See you, Dean.
12:14So Mackenzie seems totally fine.
12:16You heard that?
12:19Look, we both know it's a front.
12:21If Mac was coping, she wouldn't be lashing out the way that she is.
12:24Maybe just give her some time.
12:29She's still struggling.
12:32She's not the other one.
12:43Okay.
12:44So important that we couldn't talk about it over the phone.
12:48I have news.
12:50About Dad.
12:51I don't want to hear it.
12:55You need to.
12:57Am I?
12:57You dead or something?
13:02Seriously.
13:07Good.
13:08You're allowed to be sad.
13:10I'm not sad.
13:12I'm not.
13:13I'm going to probably dance on his grave if I could be bothered to find it.
13:17Is that it?
13:19But you don't want to hear about Mum?
13:20Why, is she dead as well?
13:21No, Dana, she'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.
13:34I'll put you into the Mondays.
13:36Perfect.
13:36I will see you then.
13:38Okay, wait.
13:38It's the truth, mate.
13:39I 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.
13:47Excuse me.
13:48Hey, buddy.
13:49All the boards are 10% off.
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.
13:57I'm everyone's favourite.
13:59Looks 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.
14:06What are you doing here?
14:09I'm coming back to work.
14:12It's time.
14:17Why 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?
14:42After 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.
14:48What are you going to do now that you know where she lives?
14:51Are you going to rock up on her doorstep?
14:53I'm not sure.
14:53I 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?
15:07Knowing that dad's gone, you'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.
15:23Hey.
15:27Sorry 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?
15:36This morning.
15:37She was pretty insistent about it, actually.
15:39Hey, Dad.
15:39What are you doing here?
15:40Hey.
15:41Just grabbing a coffee.
15:44I 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.
15:50Besides, it's far more fun than photocopying posters at the cop shop.
15:54Plus, 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.
16:04All right.
16:08I put extra in in case you have to stay back later.
16:10Thanks.
16:11You okay?
16:13I'm late.
16:13For what?
16:14He'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, both 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.
16:31Yeah.
16:31Thanks.
16:34Okay.
16:35My shift is officially over.
16:37I don't need to help my brother, so I am all yours.
16:40Let's go.
16:40Let's go.
16:41I 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.
16:54What's going on?
16:54Also, it's totally illegal.
16:57You're lucky I don't go tell someone.
16:58Dana, it's just a thing.
16:58Hey, Cash broke all sorts of rules for you when you first came to town.
17:01I didn't hear you complaining then.
17:02I 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.
17:08I'm not here to fight.
17:18I want you to listen to me, okay?
17:21I know that you want Archie to have grandparents.
17:23And 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.
17:34You see, I do know that because our mother should never be near a child again.
17:38Okay.
17:38I 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.
18:00Delivery 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.
18:27You're right, he was.
18:30Surfboards are all lined up and ready for your next class.
18:33Oh, someone got your flowers.
18:36Yeah, hey, we should do some stock take soon.
18:38Hey, don't change the subject.
18:40Are they from Abby?
18:41No.
18:42Molly, have you got a secret admirer?
18:45Oh.
19:00Why are you bringing me a cup of tea?
19:08It's not going to change my mind.
19:10Yes, Dana.
19:11I am aware how stubborn you are.
19:13This is not about me being stubborn.
19:15I'm being realistic.
19:16Mum has had a clean record since Dad died.
19:20Mm-hmm.
19:20So she's managed to avoid the cops for a couple of years.
19:23Or she has changed.
19:25Can you please acknowledge for me how crazy that sounds?
19:27Why is it so crazy you changed?
19:29Don't compare me to them.
19:31That's not what I meant.
19:32What do you mean then?
19:33I expected you to have a little more perspective on this.
19:37Well, I'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?
19:50Yeah, 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.
20:04There isn't a chance.
20:05We don't need her.
20:09The moment you bring her back into our lives,
20:12it's going to be chaos.
20:13Just like it was when we were kids.
20:19Our love soared with every breath
20:25Butterflies when we began
20:31My heart raised but reached the end
20:37It was a tie between my mind and what I felt
20:44It was a dopey wound on the day.
20:56My heart raised and I felt the most phenomenal
