00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way.
00:08He found a star to sign for the label?
00:10Yeah.
00:11If we can convince him to sign, I thought I'd bring him here.
00:13To see, what, the mountain of mess in the foyer or the unfinished studio?
00:17Is that really a problem?
00:18We need to show Eddie that we're a legit label that he wants to be a part of.
00:22What do you think we should do?
00:23Just do as I say, and Eddie will be begging to join us.
00:27Eddie, mate, thanks for coming.
00:30Good to see you.
00:30Thanks for having me.
00:31Why is Leah calling you?
00:32I just got to swing by hers on the way to the studio.
00:33What about Eddie?
00:34It's nothing.
00:35It won't take long.
00:35Where the hell are you?
00:37Sorry.
00:38Mate, Eddie's asking all about you.
00:39We're tap dancing here.
00:40Just keep him busy until they get there, okay?
00:42How long is that going to be?
00:43Where are you going now?
00:44Coastal news.
00:45I'm going to get them to tell the truth about Lacey.
00:47Okay, that is a bad idea.
00:49You need to leave Lacey alone.
00:50You wouldn't understand.
00:51I've actually got to get going as well.
00:52Stop, stop.
00:53You've got to tell me what you're really doing here.
00:54Knowing that Dad's gone, you're not even the slightest bit curious about what's happened
00:58to Mum.
00:59I don't care if she's alive.
01:00She is dead to me.
01:01Whatever you find out, I don't want to know.
01:04Okay.
01:10Hey, you playing solo?
01:12Yeah, Tana has Archie for the day.
01:15I'm taking Dana to brunch, so she'll be fun.
01:18Yeah, you all right?
01:20Oh, I just made a decision, a big one, and she's not going to like it.
01:24Is there anything that I can help with?
01:26Well, not unless there's a medical procedure to fix stubborn little sisters.
01:29Come on, it can't be that bad.
01:31What's bad?
01:32What are you guys talking about?
01:33You, you're bad for being late.
01:35Okay.
01:35And I'm going to leave you guys to it.
01:37Bye.
01:38Bye.
01:39Sorry?
01:40Did I interrupt something?
01:41No.
01:42We were just talking about our sleepover the other night, when Brie was on night shift.
01:48Right.
01:49Yeah.
01:50She missed out.
01:51You and I always have fun together, right?
01:53Us against the world.
01:55Okay.
01:56Weirdo.
01:56Us against the world.
01:58Should we get some food?
01:59I've got to go.
02:00Just stop mucking around and answer the question.
02:02I'm being serious.
02:02Why would she call you over?
02:04You were here last night.
02:05You'd have to ask her.
02:06No, I'm asking you.
02:07What did you guys talk about?
02:08Can we do this later?
02:09No, we're going to do it now.
02:10Rem needs me, man.
02:11Did you talk her into this, going down to the Coastal News?
02:14No, it was her idea.
02:14You really think it's a good idea for her to go down to the local newspaper and pick a fight
02:18in her state of mind?
02:19Rem's freaking out.
02:21Sunny.
02:22Look, we'll talk soon, yeah?
02:22Sunny!
02:23I just love the vibe of this place.
02:27Yeah.
02:29Very cool.
02:30Yeah.
02:30It really helps with my creativity.
02:33I mean, my writing has definitely gone up another level.
02:36So where's the studio?
02:38Upstairs.
02:39Yeah.
02:41Are you going to show me where the magic happens?
02:43Eventually.
02:43There's a funny story about the studio.
02:45Ah, boring.
02:46I don't want to hear about that.
02:47I want to hear more about you.
02:49Like, how long have you been a professional artist?
02:53Professional?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Ah, see, that's the dream.
02:56I still need my day job to pay the bills.
02:58What do you do for work?
03:00I'm a high school music teacher.
03:01Oh, wow.
03:02That must be pretty tough.
03:04Like any job, there are ups and downs.
03:06Mostly, I love it.
03:07Dealing with all the moody teenagers?
03:10Some are better than others.
03:11My year 12s are the best.
03:15I hate disappointing them.
03:17They rely on me.
03:18And I had to take the day off to come here.
03:20It's kind of a big deal.
03:23Well, we appreciate it.
03:25So how many artists do you have on your books?
03:28Well, I mean, there's me.
03:30And let me tell you, working with Sonny and Remy, it's a dream.
03:36Shouldn't Sonny be here by now?
03:38He should be.
03:38Okay, um, I'm not sure what the hold-up is, but...
03:41Actually, Eden has not heard you play yet.
03:45Yes.
03:46Would you mind?
03:47Any excuse to play?
03:49Right.
03:50Come in.
03:55Okay, there's something clearly on your mind.
03:57And I'm not saying you have to tell me,
03:59but I am your sister and I love you,
04:01so I'm just noticing it.
04:03Can we please just eat?
04:05Well, that wasn't much of a denial either.
04:06Is there something going on?
04:09Yes, but I was really hoping that we could enjoy ourselves first and then talk about it.
04:14Okay, so then, what?
04:16This is brunch to butter me up?
04:18I looked up Mom's phone number and I'm seriously considering reaching out to her.
04:23Why are you telling me this?
04:25Because it's a really big deal to get in contact with her for both of us,
04:28and I thought you had a right to know.
04:29I said, do whatever you want, but leave me the hell out of it.
04:32What part of that did you not get?
04:34Can you understand?
04:34If you want to make a mistake, that's your prerogative,
04:37but I don't want any part of it, and I don't want any brunch.
04:45Right, there you go.
04:46Oh, thank you for this.
04:47Can I try and make it look a bit nicer?
04:48No, that's fine.
04:49I'll take care of it.
04:50Let's get the food in there.
04:51I'll be with you in one sec.
04:53Having a bit of a catering emergency.
04:55Yeah, I hope you're taking it easy.
04:57No, I am.
04:57I'm feeling much better.
04:58Muffins.
04:59Muffins.
05:01So what is this for?
05:02I'm trying to save a dire situation from becoming worse.
05:05What?
05:06Hey, what are you doing here?
05:07Shouldn't you be off schmoozing new talent?
05:09Yeah, I'm having the worst day.
05:10Really?
05:11What's happening?
05:11It's too complicated to explain.
05:13Muffins.
05:14Amazing.
05:14Thank you, Maz.
05:15Do you need anything else?
05:17No, what I need is a miracle.
05:19Can I maybe chat to you later?
05:20Yeah, sure.
05:21If Raymond doesn't strangle me.
05:23Oh, I'm going to take these flowers.
05:24soon, Maz.
05:29Hey, shouldn't you be at brunch with Harper?
05:31All the good things seem to fade away
05:36But I will always choose you every day
05:42And I can't help falling for you
05:49Oh, baby, I'm just falling for you
05:55Now your hand is fading out of reach
06:03It gets harder
06:05It gets harder
06:05I've lost a part of me
06:08And I can't help falling for you
06:15Oh, baby, I'm just falling for you
06:22Wow
06:28Now that's what I'm talking about
06:30Sonny, good to see you
06:31Yeah, it's good to see you, Sonny
06:32Sorry, traffic, guys
06:34Eddie, my man, we got bubbles
06:35You want some?
06:36This looks impressive
06:37What do we got, time?
06:38What about the boat?
06:39Ah, that ship has sailed, my friend
06:40But next time, I promise
06:41Today, let's eat, drink, talk about the future
06:43Sounds good
06:44I've got to say
06:44Thank you for that performance
06:46I mean, you are worth all the hype
06:47There was hype?
06:48Lots of
06:49Oh, yeah
06:50I mean, talking about hype
06:52Did you know that Remy's album
06:53that he produced for, Kirby, Aramawana
06:54has just climbed to number four in Denmark?
06:56Eden told me
06:57Stick with us, my friend
06:59And that could be your trajectory as well
07:00So what do you say?
07:01Do you want to sign with back on track records?
07:04What, just like that?
07:07I didn't expect you guys to suggest that right off the bat
07:09You know what?
07:10No, let's eat
07:12We can talk details after
07:13Yeah, that's quite the spread
07:15Yeah, we're back on track
07:16We like to go above and beyond, so
07:17Okay
07:21What's in the mystery box?
07:24I've got a bad feeling about this
07:25I reckon the boss of that newspaper
07:28is going to cop one hell of an earful
07:30I should have gone after her
07:31She was really fired up
07:33And why would she turn to Sonny instead of me?
07:35What's with that?
07:37I reckon she needs all the help she can get at the moment
07:39And he was Theo's mate
07:41Yeah, well, thanks to him
07:42She shot out of the house looking for a fight
07:44Well, if getting stuck into some bloke at a newspaper makes her feel better
07:49So be it
07:50I think she's hoping for a retraction
07:53I don't like her chances
07:55Let's get you some fresh airing
07:58You know, sometimes you've just got to go with your gut
08:02Even if the odds are stacked against you
08:05What's the worst that could happen?
08:07I'd hope Leah was improving
08:27Yeah, well, we all want that
08:30Feels like I'm back a square way
08:32You know, David's worried she's going to get worse
08:36Well, with respect
08:38I reckon David's opinion might be a little bit biased
08:41And understandably so
08:44He's just trying to protect his family
08:46He actually considered taking our Navy out
08:52To keep Lacey safe from Leah
08:54It's true
08:55Lacey talked him out of it
08:56David felt like there was a real risk
09:00Yeah
09:01Righto
09:05Thanks for letting me, Benji
09:08Might head off
09:09Hey, Justin
09:10You know you're not in this on your own
09:14How about you let me chat you a cuppa, eh?
09:17Oh, I want to be there when she gets home
09:20You know she's got Buckleys are getting an apology
09:24From that half-bide good-for-nothing excuse for a newspaper
09:27Still, I wanted to know I got her back
09:31Like, it doesn't matter what I say or how I say it
09:37She just doesn't want to listen
09:38Okay, well, I'm not going to tell you what to do
09:40But I can speak from my own experience
09:42Getting out of a bad situation is really hard
09:46And a lot of people don't make it out
09:48Yeah, exactly
09:48And that's what's frustrating me about the whole Harper situation
09:51Is that she won't even acknowledge how bad it was
09:53She's saying that I'm overreacting
09:55Trust your instincts
09:56If something doesn't feel right, don't do it
09:58Yeah
09:59No, that's good advice, I agree
10:01Yeah
10:02It took me ages to figure that out
10:03And I had to learn it the hard way
10:05So, how close is Harper to making contact?
10:10I mean, she has her address and her phone number
10:12So it's only a matter of time
10:13I'm sorry, I couldn't help it
10:15Over here is Harper reaching out to Grandma Matheson
10:18It's looking that way, yeah
10:20Oh, that's lovely
10:22It's nice for Archie
10:23Sorry, has Harper been talking to you about it, hasn't he?
10:26Oh, no, she just mentioned that she was worried Archie was going to miss out
10:28Because that's a special relationship, isn't it?
10:31Little boy and his grandma
10:32Not this grandma
10:35I'm just going to stop it
10:37Hey
10:48Hey
10:49Sorry about the brunch thing
10:52Just forget about the brunch thing
10:54Please don't contact Mum
10:57It's a really bad idea
10:59And I'm going to need you not to do it
11:01Okay, what happened to agreeing to disagree?
11:05It's too important
11:06Let's just sit down and we'll talk about it
11:08I don't want to talk about it, okay?
11:10The subject is closed
11:11This woman is not coming back into our lives
11:13This isn't just about you and me
11:15Yeah, it's about Archie as well and protecting him
11:18And I'm saying the best way to do that is if you forget her for good
11:21Dana, I'm sorry
11:24I've already reached out to her
11:28It's done
11:31So let me get this straight
11:34You're the featured artist on Avalon Bracken's track
11:37I'm a big fan of hers
11:39Ah, it's no big deal, mate
11:40What's she like?
11:43Ah, she's talented
11:45Okay, there's more to this story
11:48Ah, look, old news
11:50Hey, look, fun fact
11:51The album Remy produced for Kirby
11:53Is now making headway in the US
11:54Not just Denmark
11:55That could be you, bud
11:57What are you doing, Sonny?
11:59My job
12:00You know, I am really, really happy here
12:04And I think that you will be too
12:05Look, um
12:09I just need to be real for a minute
12:11Kirby is an amazing artist
12:15But she's not making headway in the US
12:18Not yet
12:19And he didn't hear
12:21Well, she's not actually signed with the label
12:26How many artists do you have on your books?
12:32Well, if you come on board
12:34You would be our first
12:35And it would be an absolute honour to have you
12:37Is there anything else I should know?
12:44Yeah, um
12:45Our recording equipment hasn't arrived yet
12:48It's coming from Germany in two weeks
12:51So you don't actually have a recording studio
12:55I can look past a lot of things
12:59But I don't like being taken for a ride
13:01I should have told you, Sonny
13:04Look
13:06Running a studio is new to me
13:09But I am a producer
13:11I have a proven track record
13:13And I really want to work with you
13:16You know what really sucks?
13:20On top of letting my students down
13:22I actually thought you guys were the real deal
13:23Let me fix this
13:30Hey, Eddie
13:36Hey, before you go, man
13:37Just hear me out
13:38You got two minutes
13:39Make it good or I'm ordering a ride
13:41Okay, look
13:41I am a hype man
13:43Alright
13:44I can get a bit loose and stupid
13:46But Remy
13:47Is a straight up guy
13:49Alright
13:49You can trust him
13:50This just feels like more smoke and mirrors
13:52I screwed up
13:55Alright
13:55I got carried away trying to impress you
13:58And
13:59It's completely on me
14:01Alright
14:01Not Remy
14:02And it won't happen again
14:04I apologise
14:06Apology accepted
14:08But I'm not coming back
14:10Okay, look
14:11You must know that you impress Remy
14:14Right?
14:16Because along with being an incredibly talented guy
14:19He is someone who is fiercely loyal to the people he believes in
14:22And he really believes in you
14:25And isn't that what you want from a producer?
14:28Someone who has your back no matter what
14:30Because that's him
14:31When I first met him
14:35I felt like
14:36He really understood what my music's about
14:39Yeah, and he does
14:40He does
14:41And look, you can walk away from this if you want
14:44I'm not going to stop you
14:45But
14:45Man, why not just give him a shot to prove that to you
14:48You're the one he wants to launch his business with
14:53That's got to mean something
14:55Hasn't it?
15:01Have you considered how badly this could end?
15:10You're catastrophizing again
15:11And you're living in your little fantasy world
15:13Again
15:14It was one text message
15:16And mum might not even respond
15:17And what if she does?
15:19Have you actually thought that through?
15:21Yeah
15:21I've thought about nothing else for days
15:24Okay
15:24I promise I have thought this through
15:26And if she doesn't respond
15:27All of this fighting is for nothing
15:29Well then I hope that you're right about her
15:32Is that her?
15:42Is it her?
15:46What does she say?
15:47I haven't read it yet
15:48Well then read it
15:49I didn't think she would reply so quickly
15:52Well, she probably needs money
15:54Or a kidney
15:55Could you just give her a chance?
15:57What does it say?
15:59What do you want?
16:04That's all that she has to say
16:06Don't stop
16:06Like, if you wanted more proof
16:08There it is
16:08What do you want?
16:11Who says that?
16:14What are you doing?
16:16What do you reckon?
16:16I don't know how you did that
16:30Yeah, do we want to know?
16:31How does one explain charm to the uninitiated?
16:34I mean
16:34Just tell me that whatever you said to Eddie was above board
16:37It was completely legit
16:38He's lucky to have you as his producer
16:41Okay
16:41Well, thank you for saving the day
16:43Ye of little faith
16:44Just no more turning up to work late
16:47Last chance, okay?
16:49Copy that
16:49Boss
16:49Yes
16:51Cheers
16:52Okay
16:56I had to break up this party
16:58But Cash's gonna be home now
16:59Oh, dump for the husband again
17:01Yeah
17:02I'm domestic now, remember?
17:04I'm loving it
17:05Boring
17:07All right, go on then, bye
17:07Bye
17:08So, how does it feel
17:13To have Eddie Shepard as your first artist?
17:17Well, I think Thayer would have approved
17:19Where were you today, anyway?
17:23It was a hot up
17:23Ah, Leah
17:25I said to her that she could call me wherever she wants
17:28She's
17:29She's doing it tough
17:30At the moment
17:31We open up our arms
17:40For something to write
17:42This is a new day upon us
17:47This is a new day upon us
17:52This is a new day upon us
17:56Thank you
17:58Thanks
17:58This looks good on you
18:00Ambition
18:02Success
18:04Fulfillment
18:05Someone's had a few to drink
18:06Don't make light of this
18:08I'm happy for you
18:10Yeah, I was ready to chuck it in a few weeks ago
18:13Wasn't I?
18:13Well, yeah, I don't recall
18:15Yes, well, thank you for giving me a slapper
18:17In the years, I needed it
18:18Ah, any time
18:19Shame Eddie's not here to celebrate with you
18:22Would have been good company
18:23Should I be jealous?
18:25Well, if you could sing like that
18:26I'd show you off to the world
18:27But you can't, can you?
18:29No
18:29I've got a call coming anyway
18:31Leave me alone
18:31Mrs. Sonny
18:33Is she okay?
18:39Okay, yeah
18:39I'm on my way
18:41That was the cops
18:44Uh, Leah's been arrested
18:46What for?
18:47Causing a disturbance at the Coastal News, apparently
18:49Why'd they call you?
18:51I don't know, maybe she couldn't get a hold of Justin or something
18:53Um, I did say she could call me any time
18:55But look, um, congrats on Eddie again
18:57I've got to go, I'll chat to you later
18:58Alright, good luck
18:59What is wrong with you?
19:10Seriously
19:11If you're not going to help me pack, just go home
19:14She couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone and call you
19:18She replied to my messages, you're being ridiculous
19:21I'm being ridiculous
19:22Okay, fine
19:24Let's take a look at Mum's responses, shall we?
19:26Don't worry, Dana
19:27No, you said, sorry to hear about Dad
19:29She said thanks
19:30Then you said, can I call you to talk?
19:33And she said, not a good time
19:35Yeah, maybe it isn't a good time
19:37And then you asked if she wanted you to come and visit
19:40And she said, if you want
19:42If you want
19:44You'd think someone that hadn't seen their daughters in a decade
19:47Would be more interested
19:48This is something that I need to do
19:53So can you please just give me some privacy?
19:56Why?
19:57Why do you want?
19:57You want space to make more bad decisions?
19:59So I can call Tarno to ask him to keep Archie
20:01I don't know how long I'm going to be away
20:03Tarno's not going to like this either
20:05He doesn't need to know the details
20:07Can you just, like, hear yourself
20:10For a second, please?
20:15I know that this is big
20:17But I need to find out
20:21If she's changed
20:23I need to know
20:26If she's stable enough
20:27To meet her grandson
20:29So can you just back up?
20:35Hey, mate
20:44If you're looking for Sonny
20:45He's already left
20:45Why would I be looking for Sonny?
20:48I'm just here to pick up some wine for dinner
20:50Shouldn't you be at the police station?
20:53Why?
20:53What's happened?
20:54Lee's been arrested
20:55Leah?
20:57Yeah, Leah
20:58Well, why didn't someone call me?
21:02Ah
21:02Where were you?
21:11Sorry, I got held up
21:12But, uh, are you okay?
21:16Have you heard any news about your mum?
21:18No
21:18How long has it been since you and Harper actually saw her?
21:22A long time
21:23That's amazing
21:24You know, you guys are gonna have such a good reunion
21:26Marilyn, I feel like it's quite clear
21:28That I don't want to talk about this
21:29What would you do?
21:31If you were me
21:32You just need to look after yourself, okay?
21:34Or at the very least
21:35Let me look after you for a bit
