00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way.
00:08You found a star to sign to the label?
00:10Yeah, if we can convince him to sign.
00:12I thought I'd bring him here.
00:13Just to 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.
00:29Good to see you.
00:30Thanks for having me.
00:31Why is Leah calling you?
00:32I've just got to swing by hers on the way to the studio.
00:34What about Eddie?
00:35It's nothing. It won't take long.
00:36Where the hell are you?
00:37Sorry.
00:38Mate, Eddie's asking all about you. We're tap dancing here.
00:41Just keep him busy until I get there, okay?
00:43How long is that going to be?
00:44Where are you going now?
00:45Coastal news. I'm going to get them to tell the truth about Lacey.
00:48Okay, that is a bad idea. You need to leave Lacey-
00:50You wouldn't understand.
00:51I've actually got to get going as well.
00:53Stop, stop. You've got to tell me what you're really doing here.
00:55Knowing that Dad's gone, you're not even the slightest bit curious about what's happened to Mum.
00:59I don't care if she's alive. She is dead to me. Whatever you find out, I don't want to know.
01:04Okay.
01:11Hey, are you playing solo?
01:13Yeah, Tana has Archie for the day and I'm taking Dana to brunch, so that should be fun.
01:18Yeah, you alright?
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.
01:29Oh, come on, it can't be that bad.
01:31What's bad? What are you guys talking about?
01:33You, you're bad for being late.
01:35Okay.
01:36And I'm going to leave you guys to it.
01:38Bye.
01:39Sorry, did I interrupt something?
01:42No.
01:43We 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?
01:53It's us against the world.
01:55Okay.
01:56Weirdo.
01:57It's us against the world.
01:58Should we get some food?
01:59I gotta go.
02:00Just stop mucking around and answer the question.
02:02I'm being serious, I really need to go.
02:03Why 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.
02:10We're going to do it now.
02:11Rem needs me, man.
02:12Did you talk her into this, going down to the coastal news?
02:14No, it was her idea.
02:15You really think it's a good idea for her to go down to the local newspaper and pick a fight
02:19in her state of mind?
02:20Rem's freaking out.
02:21Sonny.
02:22Look, we'll talk soon, yeah?
02:23Sonny!
02:24I just love the vibe of this place.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Very cool.
02:29Yeah.
02:30It really helps with my creativity.
02:33I mean, my writing has definitely gone up another level.
02:37So, where's the studio?
02:38Upstairs.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Are you going to show me where the magic happens?
02:43Eventually.
02:44There'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?
02:52Professional?
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.
03:02Oh, wow.
03:03That 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.
03:22Well, 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,
03:33it's a dream.
03:35Shouldn't Sonny be here by now?
03:38He should be.
03:39I'm not sure what the hold up is.
03:41Actually, Eden has not heard you play yet.
03:45Yes.
03:46Would you mind?
03:47An excuse to play?
03:49Great.
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?
04:05That 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
04:12and then talk about it.
04:14Okay, so then what?
04:16This is brunch to butter me up?
04:20I looked up Mom's phone number
04:21and 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
04:27for both of us and 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?
04:35You want to make a mistake?
04:36That's your prerogative, but I don't want any part of it
04:38and I don't want any brunch.
04:40Right, 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.
04:51Oh, Marie, hi.
04:52I'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.
04:58I'm feeling much better, thank you.
04:59Muffins.
05:00Muffins.
05:01So what is this for?
05:02I'm trying to save a dire situation from becoming worse.
05:05Right.
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?
05:12It's too complicated to explain.
05:13Muffins.
05:14Amazing.
05:15Thank you, Maz.
05:16Right.
05:17Do you need anything else?
05:18No, what I need is a miracle.
05:19Can I maybe chat to you later?
05:20Yeah, sure.
05:21Everyone doesn't strangle me.
05:22Oh, I'm going to take these flowers to 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.
05:49Baby, I'm just falling for you.
05:55Now your hand is fading out of reach.
06:01Fading out of reach.
06:02Fading out of reach.
06:03It gets harder.
06:04I've lost a part of me.
06:08And I can't help falling for you.
06:14Oh, baby, I'm just falling for you.
06:28Wow.
06:29Now that's what I'm talking about.
06:30Sonny, good to see you.
06:31Hey, it's good to see you, Sonny.
06:33Sorry, traffic, guys.
06:34I'm Eddie, my man.
06:35We got bubbles.
06:36You want some?
06:37This looks impressive.
06:38What do we got, time?
06:39What about the boat?
06:40Ah, that ship has sailed, my friend.
06:41But next time, I promise.
06:42Today, let's eat, drink, talk about the future.
06:43Sounds good.
06:44I've got to say, thank you for that performance.
06:46I mean, you were worth all the hype.
06:48There was hype?
06:49Lots of hype.
06:50Oh, yeah.
06:51I mean, talking about hype, did you know that Remy's album
06:53that he produced for, Kirby Aramowana, has just climbed to number four in Denmark?
06:57Eden told me.
06:58Stick with us, my friend, and that could be your trajectory as well.
07:01So what do you say?
07:02Do you want to sell on with Back On Track Records?
07:04What, just like that?
07:07I didn't expect you guys to suggest that right off the bat.
07:10You know what?
07:11No, let's eat and talk details after.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Squat the spread.
07:16Yeah, we're back on track.
07:17We like to go above and beyond, so.
07:21Okay.
07:22What's in the mystery box?
07:24I've got a bad feeling about this.
07:26I know.
07:27I reckon the boss of that newspaper's gonna cop one hell of an earful.
07:30I should've 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.
07:40And he was Theo's mate.
07:41Yeah, well thanks to him, she shot out of the house looking for a fight.
07:45Well, if getting stuck into some bloke at a newspaper makes her feel better, so be it.
07:51I think she's hoping for a retraction.
07:54I don't like her chances.
07:56Let's get you some fresh airy.
07:59You know, sometimes you just gotta go with your gut.
08:03And even if the odds are stacked against you, what's the worst that could happen?
08:26I'd hope Leah was improving.
08:28Yeah, well we all want that.
08:30Feels like I'm back at square one.
08:33You know, David's worried she's gonna get worse.
08:37Well, with respect, I reckon David's opinion might be a little bit biased.
08:42And understandably so.
08:45He's just trying to protect his family.
08:47He actually considered taking our Navy O to keep Lacey safe from Leah.
08:55That's true.
08:56Lacey talked him out of it.
08:58David felt like there was a real risk.
09:01Yeah.
09:05Righto.
09:07Thanks for letting me, Benji.
09:09Might head off.
09:10Hey, Justin.
09:12You know you're not in this on your own.
09:15How about you let me chat you a cuppa, eh?
09:18I wanna be there when she gets home.
09:21You know she's got buck, Lisa, getting an apology from that half-bide good-for-nothing excuse for a newspaper.
09:28Still, I wanted to know I got her back.
09:31Like, it doesn't matter what I say or how I say it, she just doesn't wanna listen.
09:38Okay, well, I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but I can speak from my own experience.
09:43Getting out of a bad situation is really hard and a lot of people don't make it out.
09:48Yeah, exactly.
09:49And that's what's frustrating me about the whole Harper situation is 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.
09:59Yeah.
10:00No, that's good advice.
10:01I agree.
10:02Yeah.
10:03It took me ages to figure that out, and I had to learn it the hard way.
10:07So, how close is Harper to making contact?
10:10I mean, she has her address and her phone number, so it's only a matter of time.
10:14I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
10:16Over here is Harper reaching out to Grandma Matheson.
10:19It's looking that way, yeah?
10:21It's lovely.
10:22It's nice for Archie.
10:23Sorry, has Harper been talking to you about it or something?
10:26Oh no, she just mentioned that she was worried Archie was going to miss out,
10:29because that's a special relationship, isn't it, little boy and his grandma?
10:35Not this grandma.
10:36I'm just going to stop it.
10:48Hey.
10:49Hey.
10:50Sorry about the brunch thing.
10:52Just forget about the brunch thing.
10:56Please don't contact Mum.
10:58It's a really bad idea, and I'm going to need you not to do it.
11:02Okay, what happened to agreeing to disagree?
11:05It's too important.
11:07Let'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.
11:14This isn't just about you and me.
11:15Yeah, it's about Archie as well and protecting him.
11:17And I'm saying the best way to do that is if you forget her for good.
11:21Tina, I'm sorry.
11:27I've already reached out to her.
11:29It's done.
11:31So let me get this straight.
11:35You'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.
11:41What's she like?
11:43Ah, she's talented.
11:45Okay, there's more to this story.
11:49Ah, look, old news.
11:50Hey, look, fun fact.
11:51The album Remi produced for Kirby is now making headway in the US,
11:55not just Denmark.
11:56That could be you, bud.
11:58What are you doing, Sonny?
11:59My job.
12:01You know, I am really, really happy here,
12:04and I think that you will be too.
12:08Look, um, I just need to be real for a minute.
12:12Kirby is an amazing artist,
12:15but she's not making headway in the US.
12:18Not yet.
12:21And he didn't hear him.
12:23Well, she's not actually signed with the label.
12:29How many artists do you have on your books?
12:32Well, if you come on board, you would be our first,
12:35and it would be an absolute honour to have you.
12:38Is there anything else I should know?
12:42Yeah, um, our recording equipment hasn't arrived yet.
12:49It's coming from Germany in two weeks.
12:53So you don't actually have a recording studio?
12:58I can look past a lot of things, but I don't like being taken for a ride.
13:02I should have told you, Sonny.
13:04Look, running a studio is new to me.
13:10But I am a producer.
13:12I have a proven track record.
13:14And I really want to work with you.
13:17You know what really sucks?
13:19On top of letting my students down, I actually thought you guys were the real deal.
13:23Let me fix this.
13:24Eddie!
13:25Before you go, man, just hear me out.
13:27You got two minutes?
13:28Make it good or I'm ordering a ride.
13:29Okay, look.
13:30I am a hype man, alright?
13:31I can get a bit loose and stupid, but Remy is a straight up guy, alright?
13:32You can trust him.
13:33This just feels like more smoke and mirrors.
13:34I screwed up, alright?
13:35I got carried away trying to impress you and it's completely on me, alright?
13:36Not Remy.
13:37Yeah, I am boys.
13:38I am.
13:39I will run Rockman.
13:40What am I talking about?
13:41What am I talking about, make it up with you?
13:44So how can I sound like me okay?
13:49daddy's Abe?
13:50How can I sound like me how was going to be?
13:52What the hell are you talking about?
13:53Harry and Fort?
13:54Harry.
13:55Don't forget me, Daisy.
13:56It's ģ° this idea.
13:57How can you hear him?
13:58And look.
13:59Why can I sound like me?
14:00Remy is a writer in the runtime.
14:01Why could we do this?
14:02How can we go?
14:03and it won't happen again I apologize apology accepted but I'm not coming back
14:10okay look you you you must know that you impress Remy right because along with
14:17being an incredibly talented guy he is someone who is fiercely loyal to the
14:22people he believes in and he really believes in you isn't that what you want
14:27from a producer someone who has your back no matter what because that that's
14:31him when I first met him I felt like he really understood what my music's
14:39about he does he does and then you can walk away from this if you want I'm not
14:45gonna stop you but man why not just give him a shot sir to prove that to you the
14:51one he wants to launch his business with that's got to mean something
14:55hasn't it
15:02you considered how badly this could end you're
15:10catastrophizing again and you're living in your little fantasy world again it
15:14was one text message and mom might not even respond and what if she does have
15:19you actually thought that through yeah I've thought about nothing else for days
15:23okay I promise I have thought this through and if she doesn't respond all of
15:28this fighting is for nothing well then I hope that you're right about her is that her
15:41is it her what does she say I haven't read it yet well then read it I didn't think she would
15:52reply so quickly well she probably needs money or a kidney could you just give her a chance what
15:57does it say what do you want that's all that she has to say don't stop like if you wanted more
16:07proof there it is what do you want who says that what are you doing what do you reckon
16:17I don't know how you did that yeah do we want to know how does one explain charm to the
16:33uninitiated I mean just tell me that whatever you said that he was above all it was completely legit
16:38he's lucky to have you as his producer okay well thank you for saving the day
16:43ye little faith just no more turning up to work late last chance okay copy that boss
