00:00I looked up mom's phone number and I'm seriously considering reaching out to her.
00:12What do you want? That's all that she has to say.
00:15You'd think someone that hadn't seen their daughters in a decade would be more interested.
00:19This is something that I need to do, so can you please give me some privacy?
00:23You want space to make more bad decisions?
00:25So I can call Tarnay to ask him to keep Archie. I don't know how long I'm gonna be away.
00:29A humble Miss Miller has been coined a hero in helping bring Councillor Wendell to justice.
00:35You're not a hero! Not the reason why Leo died!
00:38What you said to that young girl wasn't fair.
00:40So you're getting people together to gang up on me? Is that what you're doing?
00:43Where are you going now?
00:44Coastal News. I'm gonna get them to tell the truth about Lacey.
00:47Okay, that is a bad idea. You need to leave Lacey.
00:50You wouldn't understand.
00:51Did you talk her into this, going down to the Coastal News?
00:53No, it was her idea.
00:54Sunny! Look, we'll talk soon, yeah? Sunny!
00:56That was the cops. Uh, Leah's been arrested.
00:58What for?
00:59Causing a disturbance at the Coastal News, apparently.
01:01Mate, if you're looking for Sunny, he's already left.
01:03Why would I be looking for Sunny? I'm just here to pick up some wine for dinner.
01:07Shouldn't you be at the playstation?
01:08Why? What's happened?
01:09Looks like that night away with young Abigail's done you some good.
01:24Nothing goes past you, does it?
01:26No, not much.
01:27Whoa, sorry.
01:28Whoa, look out, man in a hurry.
01:29I'll catch up with you later.
01:30All right, eh?
01:31So, uh, how did Leah go with the Coastal News?
01:35She's been arrested.
01:36What?
01:41Why don't you just sit down?
01:42No, I don't want to sit down.
01:43I don't even understand why I'm here.
01:45Because you were trespassing on private property.
01:47I wasn't trespassing.
01:49I already explained all this to the other police officer.
01:52Perhaps you could go over it again for me.
01:54I was trying to get the newspaper to tell the truth about Theo, about what your daughter did.
02:00According to this, you were asked to leave the premises multiple times, but you refused.
02:05Because they weren't listening.
02:06Which is when they called the police.
02:08A complete overreaction.
02:09Yeah, to be fair, it's not like she's posing much of a threat.
02:12One woman on her own...
02:13Sorry, why are you here?
02:15What have you got to do with this?
02:17He's my friend.
02:18I asked him here.
02:19You do realise you could be fine for this, or worse?
02:22Well, like jail time.
02:24It's a second offence.
02:25Leah, I don't have any sway over what a magistrate will decide.
02:30Now, I'm going to give you some time to cool down.
02:32Maybe you could try talking to her.
02:33I'm right here.
02:34Maybe you could try listening.
02:40Okay, listen, I'm all for standing up for what you believe in.
02:43I am.
02:44But it sounds like you could be in some actual trouble here.
02:46So maybe...
02:47Maybe you just apologise to the newspaper and move on.
02:50I'm not doing that.
02:51I said no.
02:52Finally, you made it.
02:56No thanks to you lot.
02:58Why do I have to hear about my wife's arrest from a mate?
03:01If she only gets to call one person.
03:02Who'd she call?
03:04Marilyn, have you seen Sonny?
03:13Not since this morning, no.
03:15Is he upstairs?
03:16No, I just checked her and he's not at salt and he's not answering my calls.
03:19Are you supposed to meet him?
03:21No, I just figured he would be done with work by now.
03:24Have you heard any news about your mum?
03:26No.
03:27Not yet.
03:28Aw.
03:29How long has it been since you and Harper actually saw her?
03:32A long time.
03:33That's amazing.
03:34You know, you guys are going to have such a good reunion.
03:36Marilyn, I feel like it's quite clear that I don't want to talk about this.
03:39Isn't it?
03:41I'm so sorry.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:43No, it's okay.
03:44It's not you.
03:45It's...
03:46I jump.
03:51I had a feeling things might go south, but not by this much.
03:54What was she thinking?
03:55She was standing up for what she believes in.
03:57Well, and getting arrested for it.
03:58Where were you anyway?
03:59I thought you'd be here.
04:01I never got called.
04:03Seriously?
04:04You think I'd ignore something like this?
04:06No.
04:07No, I just...
04:08I figured that they called you first and couldn't get hold of you, so they just called me.
04:13That never happened.
04:16Anyways, thanks for your help.
04:19I'll take it from here, alright?
04:21Alright, well, I'll probably say goodbye to Leah.
04:24No, I will let her know, Sonny.
04:29Okay.
04:30Well, let me know how she gets on, or if she needs anything, just let me know.
04:34Alright.
04:41I gotta go.
04:42How is she?
04:43Still flatly refusing to speak to me.
04:45I'm sorry, mate.
04:46You should get in there.
04:47I've got to make some calls, figure out what happens next.
04:53Hey.
04:55Sorry.
04:56I know I've been stressing you out, and now this.
04:58It's okay.
04:59It's okay.
05:00We'll work it out, alright?
05:01Just tell me exactly what happened.
05:03Well, I had to try, but no one at the paper would discuss the article, and then that lackey
05:08of reception refused to get the editor to come out and talk to me, and I wasn't gonna
05:12leave until they told the truth about Theo, and I don't know, we started yelling, and I
05:16didn't even realise I called the cops.
05:17Alright, alright.
05:18I get why you did it.
05:20But getting arrested, and then not calling me.
05:23Whose side are you on?
05:26I'm not the enemy, Lear.
05:32Mate, I appreciate that you're busy.
05:34I just wanted to see what the word was on Lear.
05:38Look, um, if you need anything, just...
05:41Arise the children of the Father, and the day of glory has arrived.
05:47Right, mate.
05:48Flamin' handsome, Palmer, when did you get back?
05:50Hi, Alphonse.
05:52Did you miss me?
05:53Hmm.
05:54Check out the big Paris Angie's brought back with him.
05:57Tres à la mode, bon?
05:58Non.
05:59Alright, alright.
06:00I brought back gifts for everybody.
06:02Well, there's a turn up for the books, Palmer Bearing Gifts.
06:05See, actually, in France, it's pronounced Jean Palmer.
06:08There you go.
06:12L'Hotel du Redouet.
06:15Is this just a free pen you got from the hotel you stayed in?
06:19It's the thought that counts.
06:24It is good to have you home, JP.
06:27Something's never changed.
06:33Hey!
06:34Sorry, I missed your call.
06:35Where were you?
06:37Sorry, I got held up, but, uh...
06:39The artist thing, sorry.
06:40I forgot.
06:41No, no, no.
06:42It's me, are you?
06:43No, no, no.
06:44I know it's important.
06:45Um...
06:47I just needed you.
06:49Hey, you okay?
06:50I do back you.
06:57So why does it feel like you're another person that I have to explain myself to?
07:01You're not in my corner.
07:03Hey, mate, listen.
07:04We've spoken.
07:06Leah just wanted to be heard by the papers.
07:08She didn't mean any harm.
07:09It's okay, it's okay.
07:10You can both relax.
07:11Here's what's gonna happen.
07:13The offence will be recorded, but I'm gonna use police discretion and let you go with a warning.
07:17Thanks, mate.
07:18But you need to understand that this can't happen again.
07:20No, it won't.
07:22Next time, there will be no discretion.
07:25You will face consequences.
07:29She gets it.
07:30Does she?
07:31I'll take care of it.
07:32Will you now?
07:35Can I leave?
07:38I'll be waiting in the car.
07:40I'll keep an eye on her.
07:46Please see that you do.
08:00So Harper is actually going to the city to find Jamal?
08:02Yeah.
08:03And I was so angry about it.
08:05And then Marilyn was asking me one of these questions, so then I just took it out on her.
08:09Which, you know, I guess I shouldn't have.
08:12Look, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
08:13Don't worry about Maz.
08:15She's a tough cookie.
08:16I mean, you've seen the hill she wears all day at the diner.
08:19She's a trooper.
08:20Yeah, that is true.
08:21You could probably borrow some of that grit.
08:24Sorry, are you expecting a call?
08:30No, I'm sorry.
08:31I just had to check in on something.
08:33I know that you have things going on.
08:35You can go now if you want.
08:36I'm good.
08:37No, no, no, no, baby.
08:38I, uh, I'm sorry.
08:40Head was elsewhere.
08:41I'm with you.
08:45What would you do?
08:47If you were me?
08:49I mean, I can't say.
08:51I wish Harper had listened to you in the first place.
08:54Mm-hmm.
08:55But you can't control what Harper does.
08:57You can only control...
08:58What I do.
08:59I don't know.
09:00I was going to say how many pizzas we take home tonight,
09:02but, I mean, that too, yeah.
09:07You just need to look after yourself, okay?
09:09Or, at the very least, let me look after you for a bit.
09:13Oh.
09:24Dinner's ready.
09:34Mia.
09:36I'm not hungry.
09:39Come on, that can't be true given the day you've had.
09:43I'm not hungry.
10:00I'm sorry about speaking for you down at the station.
10:04I have to ask you something.
10:06Justin, please.
10:07I'm too tired for another five.
10:08I promise you, that is not what I want.
10:11Okay.
10:14When they offered to call someone for you, you asked for Sonny.
10:17Why him and not me?
10:19Okay.
10:20I have a question for you.
10:21Did you and David have a good chat back there?
10:24Excuse me?
10:25Well, if you're going to question my friendships,
10:26why can't I question yours?
10:27You are lucky David is my mate.
10:29Lucky.
10:30Yeah.
10:31How?
10:32He was this close to taking out Navy O on you for terrorising his daughter.
10:37Do you know why I asked them to call Sonny?
10:39He is the only one on my side.
10:41Irene dragged me absolutely everywhere.
10:52We saw all the sides.
10:53Ate some incredible food.
10:56Strolled down the seine together.
10:58It's good to hear she's doing well.
11:00And especially after everything that's been going on back here.
11:03Mate, we were absolutely devastated to hear about Leo.
11:06It's rough.
11:08How's everybody travelling now?
11:11You know, end on with it, day by day.
11:14Grab life by the horns.
11:16That's the lesson here.
11:18Bonsoir, mademoiselle.
11:20He's back.
11:21Oh, the long haul travel does my back in.
11:26How was it?
11:27How's Irene?
11:28Is she okay?
11:29Well, you know, as well as can be expected,
11:31some days are better than others.
11:33But in typical Irene fashion, she makes friends everywhere she visits.
11:36Oh, of course she is.
11:38Oh, and I got you a little something.
11:40Oh, you didn't.
11:42Don't get too excited.
11:44What?
11:46All the way from gay party.
11:50Cool.
11:51Thanks, John.
11:53Yeah, now all this talk about Paris is triggering my jet lag.
11:55Look, I'm going to go home and then drop in on Justin and Lee
11:58to offer them my condolences.
12:00And give them their gifts.
12:02It's probably not a good time.
12:03They're having a bit of a day.
12:05Oh, fair enough.
12:06Pens can wait.
12:07And I need an early night.
12:08Yeah, I bet.
12:10I might get out of here too.
12:12It's really nice to see you, JP.
12:13Good night, mate.
12:14Good night, guys.
12:15Good night.
12:16And I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning on patrol.
12:18Sure.
12:19I'm just, I'm so glad that you're back.
12:22Thanks.
12:23Good night, guys.
12:24Good night.
12:29You okay?
12:30Yeah.
12:31Yeah, Jane, absolutely.
12:32I mean, why wouldn't I be?
12:34Check out this pen.
12:35Clicks.
12:36Yeah.
12:37Oh, David.
12:38Ah, takeaway's not quite ready yet.
12:39Sorry.
12:40I don't mind the wait, Maz, as long as I don't have to cook tonight.
12:42Long day, eh?
12:43One of the longest.
12:44I heard about Leah's arrest.
12:45What?
12:46What do you mean?
12:47Is she okay?
12:48She's fine.
12:49She was let off with a warning.
12:50Well, that's a relief.
12:51I didn't hear any detail.
12:52I was just worried about her.
12:53Of course.
12:54We all know Leah's going through a lot.
12:55Thanks.
12:56I'm sure Justin and Leah would be happy to hear you say that.
12:58I don't think Leah would appreciate anything from me or my family right now.
13:02Well, she's very fragile at the moment.
13:03I'd love to say she has endless passes, but there's a limit.
13:04Well, let's hope this is a circuit breaker for her.
13:07I don't know.
13:08I was just worried about her.
13:09I was just worried about her.
13:10Of course.
13:11We all know Leah's going through a lot.
13:12Thanks.
13:13I'm sure Justin and Leah would be happy to hear you say that.
13:14I don't think Leah would appreciate anything from me or my family right now.
13:15Well, she's very fragile at the moment.
13:17I'd love to say she has endless passes, but there's a limit.
13:20Well, let's hope this is a circuit breaker for her.
13:23So you almost lost Eddie.
13:33They did.
13:37Guess he got him back on board.
13:39Was it you?
13:40Yeah, it was you.
13:41Gosh, you're so good with people.
13:44No wonder they trust you.
13:45Thanks.
13:46But I do actually feel a lot better.
13:49This is apparently exactly what I needed.
13:51Good.
13:52It was John's gift, wasn't it?
13:56You know, I really needed some hotel pens as well.
13:58For free.
13:59That's such a funny little joke.
14:01But I'm trying to thank you for helping me get my mind off Harper.
14:05That's okay.
14:06Also, I hate to admit it, but I think you're right.
14:09I cannot worry about something until it has actually happened.
14:13And hey, maybe Harper will meet our mum and realise it's a massive mistake.
14:17Stranger things have happened.
14:19Exactly.
14:20Anyway, the vent helped.
14:22Good.
14:23Good.
14:24Well, I wish I could help more.
14:27But what I can do is I can kind of just offer my pretty face for you to stare at if you wanted to.
14:33Gosh, it's so pretty, isn't it?
14:34It's not pretty if I do that.
14:35Or.
14:36Or that.
14:37Yeah.
14:38Oh, chicklish.
14:39Well, that's good timing.
14:40Nobody's home.
14:41Thanks, Kermit.
14:42Thanks, Kermit.
14:45Leah, hey.
14:46Sunny, hi.
14:47I know it's late.
14:48It's your chairs.
14:49Come here, come here, come here.
14:50You're home.
14:52Hey.
14:53Are you okay?
14:54Sorry, I know I'm interrupting.
14:55It's everyone that I trust.
14:57My friends, my husband, they're all judging me.
15:00You're the only one that isn't.
15:02Come and sit down.
15:03Come, come, come.
15:04I'll pop the kettle on.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Sorry, I'll explain later.
15:09No, it's fine.
15:10I mean, whatever it is, she obviously needs you.
15:26Oh, Justin, I was just about to call you.
15:28How's Leah?
15:29What's happened you could tell me, Maz?
15:31Have you seen her?
15:32Not today, no.
15:33She hasn't been home all night.
15:35She's not answering her phone.
15:36Well, I heard about her arrest.
15:38Is she okay?
15:39I wish I knew.
15:40I need to go and find her.
15:41Yes, David.
15:42David, Leah's gone missing.
15:43Oh, no, no, no.
15:44It's all right.
15:45I'll find her.
15:46Are you sure?
15:47You need my help to say the word.
15:48Thanks.
15:49I mean it.
15:50Maybe there is something.
15:51Okay.
15:53I appreciate everything you did for Leah yesterday.
15:55You don't need to thank me.
15:57But the truth is, she doesn't like us being mates.
16:01No doubt.
16:02But she's not thinking rationally right now.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Rational or not, I need her to know that I'm on her side.
16:10Which means, I've got to keep my distance.
16:14Okay.
16:15You do what you need to do.
16:23Hey.
16:24You're up early, considering I didn't hear what time you came to bed.
16:28Oh.
16:29Hey, Leah.
16:30You're still here.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Sorry.
16:33I hope I didn't wake you.
16:35I didn't wake you.
16:36No, no, no.
16:37You didn't wake me.
16:38Have you been talking all night?
16:40Yeah.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Did it help?
16:43It did.
16:44Yeah.
16:46Both of you.
16:47I should get going though.
16:48But hey, you know, he's a good listener.
16:51You're lucky to have him.
16:52Yeah.
16:53Mm-mm.
16:54Are you sure you're okay to get home?
16:55Yeah.
16:56I'm fine.
16:57Thanks again.
16:58Thanks.
16:59Talk soon.
17:04I'm exhausted.
17:05Hang on.
17:07Baby, baby, I've got nothing left.
17:09Yeah, yeah.
17:10But I'm just a little confused.
17:11What was that all about?
17:15So, have you given your new pens a whirl?
17:17I'm saving mine for a special occasion.
17:20You all right, mate?
17:23How many of you fellas seen Leah?
17:24No, not this morning.
17:25Justin, good to see you make terrible news about Theo.
17:29Irene and I were devastated.
17:30Thanks, John.
17:31We got your flowers.
17:32Yeah, I've got to go on patrol.
17:33But if I see Leah, I'll give you a call.
17:36Yeah, I've got a lesson.
17:38But if I see, I'll let you know.
17:39Appreciate it.
17:42What's going on, mate?
17:44She didn't come home last night.
17:46Now, I've checked everywhere.
17:47She's not answering her phone.
17:48Maybe it's time to call the cops.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Considering how she feels about David,
17:52I don't think that's going to help.
17:54No.
17:55I've just asked him to keep his distance,
17:57so it's on me to find her.
18:08Leah.
18:11Where have you been?
18:13I've been looking everywhere for you.
18:15Well, now you've found me.
18:18Are you serious?
18:21You're spending the whole night out.
18:22You don't answer my phone calls.
18:23I've been freaking out.
18:25Well, I'm sorry, right?
18:26I just needed space.
18:27What, the whole night?
18:28Yes, the whole night.
18:30Okay, listen.
18:32I get that this is a brutal time it is for both of us,
18:34but enough is enough, okay?
18:36We're supposed to be doing this together.
18:38Oh, that's what I thought too.
18:42Where were you?
18:44Is that all you care about?
18:45What do you mean?
18:46Well, you're more worried about where I was
18:48as opposed to why I couldn't come home.
18:50I am trying to understand what is going on.
18:53Okay, you keep shutting me out.
18:55Because you're talking to David behind my back.
18:57That's not what happened.
18:58So, yes, I went to the only person
19:00who doesn't make me feel like I do everything wrong.
19:04You mean Sonny?
19:14Yeah, Leah's just not coping.
19:16And for some reason I think she feels like
19:18I'm the only one that gets her.
19:21Well, I mean, it's good that she has you.
19:23It's just her being here all night is kind of...
19:26It's weird, I know.
19:27Okay, as long as it's not just me.
19:29No, I mean, what am I supposed to do?
19:31Tell her it's 4am, get out of here, like...
19:34No, you obviously can't do that.
19:38I do wonder what Justin thinks about it though.
19:41Yeah, well, I know.
19:42Their marriage is none of my business, so...
19:43Okay, so for that you've got boundaries.
19:48Look, I'm not keen on doing another all-nighter.
19:50I'm really not.
19:51But she's gone now, she's home with her husband
19:53and I'm sure they're going to be fine.
19:56Okay.
19:57Yeah, okay.
19:58Let's just chalk it up to one weird night.
20:01Alright.
20:02Alright.
20:04Go on, you better wait.
20:05Okay, thank you.
20:10You have other friends that you can call her.
20:12Alf, Marilyn.
20:14Why Sonny?
20:15And why are you spending the whole night at his place?
20:17Is this you, being threatened?
20:19I'm not threatened, I'm confused.
20:21Sonny is a good guy.
20:23He understands what I'm going through.
20:25Why, no, I don't.
20:26I'm starting to wonder.
20:27Oh, wow.
20:28Okay.
20:29He makes me smile.
20:32He makes me just forget.
20:34What a nightmare all of this is.
20:36I get that.
20:37Okay.
20:38I'm just worried that you're leaning on him too much.
20:41I want Theo's friends in my life.
20:43There is nothing wrong with that.
20:45You have your way of dealing with things.
20:47This is mine.
20:48Stay out of it.
20:51Where are you going now?
20:52I need some air.
