Transcript
00:00Closer each day
00:03I'm in no way
00:06I think that's everything
00:09The A felt so lucky to have your support
00:12I miss him
00:13What's that?
00:17She set this up to make herself look good
00:19I don't know, this journalist could have written whatever he wanted
00:22I'm going to go and talk to Lacey
00:23If this is about the article, I had no idea that it was being published
00:25Then why'd you give the interview?
00:26I didn't, I told the journalist that I wasn't interested there
00:29Do you think that I'm stupid?
00:30You're not a hero
00:31You're the reason why Theo died
00:33You need to step away
00:35You should be ashamed of yourself
00:36You need to walk away
00:38You said you wouldn't go and speak to Lacey
00:40So you're getting people together to gang up on me
00:42Is that what you're doing?
00:43Leah, what you said to that young girl wasn't fair
00:45Stay out of it, it's none of your business
00:47You can take our Navy-O
00:48What?
00:50You have the grounds to
00:51No, no, no, Dad, I get that you want to help
00:53I get it, but this is not the way to do it
00:56I'm sorry about Leah before
00:58She shouldn't have got stuck in to Lacey like that
01:01No, she shouldn't have
01:02What about you?
01:04Are you doing okay?
01:06No, mate, I'm really not
01:07I got a good feeling, man
01:11I think he could be the one
01:12Yeah, me too
01:12I mean, he's green
01:13I can work with her
01:15Yeah, dude, you got the Midas touch, man
01:17Under your guidance, we could have a star in our hands
01:18Hey, there's my girl
01:20Hey, they're back
01:22How was talent scouting?
01:25A roaring success
01:26Yeah, yeah, you found a star to sign to the label?
01:29Yeah, if we can convince him to sign
01:31Well, as the official hype man, that is my job
01:33Good man, I'll meet you upstairs
01:35Cool
01:35So, did you just get back?
01:38No, last night
01:39What, where have you been?
01:41Well, you said Harper and Archie were staying with you
01:43So I didn't want to mess with that
01:44So I just crashed with Remy's
01:45Well, I missed you
01:47I missed you
01:48So, how was your night with Harper?
01:52It was crazy, yeah
01:53Archie really knows how to party
01:54Heard he's a little rager
01:56Well, I'm glad that you two are getting along
02:00Yes, it was all very nice
02:01Oi, grab us a beer
02:05Not even my husband can talk to me like that
02:08Sorry
02:08Anyway, do I look like I'm working?
02:10No
02:11Where is Cash, anyway?
02:13He's at work, which means I'm super bored
02:15You can't stand to be apart, can you?
02:17Why are you trying to be annoying?
02:19I'm not used to saying you're domestic, that's all
02:20Oh, shut up
02:22You're just jealous because you're living alone in whatever giant mansion you've rented
02:27Why would I rent a mansion when I have a perfectly comfortable recording studio?
02:32Okay, good
02:33Good, because you are never getting a house back
02:35Good, don't want it back
02:36Great
02:36Yeah, as soon as you've got the day off
02:37Do you want to join us for lunch?
02:39Just got back from scouting some talent
02:40Okay, how did it go?
02:43Got a bit to catch you up on
02:44Okay
02:45Just heard that you guys checked out some gigs
02:50Yeah, we've been working hard
02:51Sunny reckons they've found the next big thing
02:54Do you spill?
02:55Who is it?
02:56No, no, no, no, you need to reprint the story with the correct information
03:05Lacey Miller isn't a hero
03:09That's not even her name
03:11You don't think it's a little suspicious that her father is a local police sergeant?
03:18You're not listening to me
03:22Can I please speak to your editor?
03:26Hello?
03:27Hello?
03:30Unbelievable
03:30Unbelievable
03:31I'm not making excuses
03:36But Theo was Leah's world
03:39She's still working on how to live without him
03:42So is Lacey, mate
03:44You and Leah close, right?
03:51She's like a daughter to me
03:52And you'd do anything to help her?
03:55Of course
03:55I'm just trying to do the same thing for my daughter
03:58And how do I handle this?
04:04Do I try to talk to Leah myself?
04:09My advice
04:10And I know this isn't an easy thing to do
04:13I'd be telling Lacey to keep a distance
04:17You're right
04:18It's not an easy thing to do
04:19How do I know that Leah won't turn up tomorrow or the day after that
04:24And have another go at her?
04:28Ignoring the issue hasn't helped so far
04:30Well, I'm not saying to ignore it
04:33I'm just saying that Leah's not in a mood to listen at the moment
04:38To anyone
04:39Not even just
04:40Speak of the devil
04:42Hey, mate
04:43You got a sec?
04:47What's up, mate?
04:51How's Leah?
04:52Is she okay?
04:54What do you think?
04:55Eddie Shepard
04:56No, doesn't ring a bell
04:57So where did you find him?
04:59Yeah
04:59At this random pub
05:00It was pretty wild how it all fell into place
05:02He wasn't even supposed to be performing
05:03Yeah
05:04The original act cancelled last minute
05:06So this guy just stepped up
05:07And he just killed it
05:09Alright
05:09So he plays guitar
05:11And he sings
05:11What else do you know about him?
05:13Well, we had a chat to him
05:14He seems like a nice guy
05:15Yeah
05:16Yeah, he was a lovely guy
05:16I mean, really knew his stuff with music
05:18Okay
05:19Well, maybe you need to do a bit more digging
05:21You know, if he's going to be the first artist that you sign
05:23You want to make sure that he doesn't have any skeletons in his concert
05:25Oh, you're really such a cop's wife, aren't you?
05:28Maybe
05:28So what do you reckon, mate?
05:31Is this our guy?
05:33I mean, I think he's pretty great
05:34But, you know
05:35You're the boss
05:36Your decision
05:36I'm going to reach out to him
05:38See if he's came for a chat
05:39Hey!
05:40Great
05:40So what, you do that, Ro
05:41And I'm going to get some pizza
05:43Ooh, do you know what I want?
05:44Maybe, of course I do
05:45Okay
05:45Hawaiian
05:46Hawaiian, copy
05:47Thank you
05:47Interesting
05:48So
05:49When are you going to come check out the recording studio?
05:52Well, I, uh
05:53I've been waiting for an invitation
05:54You don't need an invitation
05:56You're always welcome
05:57Thank you
05:58In fact, what do you do on this afternoon?
06:00Not much
06:01Why don't we go check it out after this?
06:04I thought you'd never ask
06:06Go on, then
06:06Yeah, I would love to come
06:09And thank you for inviting me
06:10Um, but I'm just super busy today
06:13Uh, doing lots of important things
06:15Dana, of course you're welcome to
06:17Oh, really?
06:18Thank you
06:18But I actually can't come
06:20I am super busy
06:21Sorry
06:21You guys seen this?
06:24Yes, the article about Lacey
06:26I saw it this morning
06:26She seems like a real hero
06:28You okay, mate?
06:32Uh, yeah
06:33Sorry, I gotta go
06:34What? No, no
06:35We're just about to do a tour of the studio
06:36Yeah
06:36Uh, yeah, just
06:38I'll catch up with you
06:39Do you want me to come with you?
06:40No, no, no
06:40I'll go, baby
06:41I'll feel you later
06:42Okay
06:42You bet
06:43Leah needs space
06:47That's what I'm gonna give her
06:49I'm sorry
06:50But like I said to Alf
06:52That isn't working
06:54Her anger towards Lacey
06:55Is getting worse
06:57Not better
06:57Dave
06:58I really think you gotta follow my lead on this
07:01Just, just wait until things calm down
07:03In my experience
07:04Waiting for things to calm down
07:05Doesn't work
07:06I tried that when Lacey fell out with Joe
07:09It's taken us two years to get some sense of peace
07:13I can talk to her till I'm blue in the face
07:15But she's gotta process this
07:16Whatever way she needs to, mate
07:18I'm getting nowhere
07:19Come on, come on
07:20Surely we can talk this out
07:22I don't think there's anything else to say
07:24Lacey's at home
07:26I'm gonna go and be with her
07:27See you later
07:28I don't
07:29What?
07:33I don't know, mate
07:36But I reckon if somebody had a go at Leah
07:40The way Leah's had a go at Lacey
07:42You'd have something to say about it
07:45What do you mean he's not available, I was just talking to him on the phone
07:54Fine, fine, fine
07:56Fine
07:57I will leave him a message
07:58Tell him it's Leah Patterson
07:59Again
08:00And I'm ringing regarding the misinformation he published about Lacey Miller
08:04It's called fact checking
08:06Do your job
08:07Sonny, what are you doing here?
08:10I came to check if you're okay
08:12Can I come in?
08:15Did you see the rubbish they wrote about Lacey?
08:18Yeah, I did
08:19It's why I'm here
08:20That can't have been easy to read
08:24They're making her out to be some hero
08:26When she's responsible for Theo's murder
08:29It's all lies
08:30It's all lies
08:31And they're refusing to fix it
08:35Theo would still be alive if it wasn't for her
08:39It's okay
08:40I got you
08:41I got you
08:42I got you
08:43I got you
08:56Well here she is
08:57Ooh, I love what you've done with the place
09:00All I may
09:02Now, come back in a few weeks
09:04There's going to be a recording studio up there
09:06A few weeks?
09:07Yeah, the equipment's coming from overseas
09:09Oh
09:13Oh, dude
09:16I know, right?
09:17Wow
09:18There's a courtyard
09:20Yeah
09:21It's a good spot for artists to hang out between sessions
09:23Yeah
09:24Oh
09:27Wow
09:30Incredible
09:31Oh
09:32I can guess whose idea this was
09:34Yeah
09:35So we made sure we had the essentials
09:37Ha ha
09:38This is awesome
09:39Yeah?
09:40Yeah
09:41Seriously, I'm so happy for you
09:44Soon this place is going to be packed with awards
09:46Oh, thanks, I appreciate it
09:48Do you want a drink?
09:49Yes
09:50Top shelf for me, thanks, Theo
09:52Of course
09:53Oh
09:57Oh, this is beautiful
10:01Yeah
10:02It was something Justin said
10:06It's goodbye to have Theo with us too
10:08Hmm
10:16Hey, hey, hey
10:17Let me take it over
10:18Thanks
10:19It's all right
10:20Why don't you go sit down?
10:21You want to talk?
10:35I just haven't been sleeping much lately
10:39Where's Justin?
10:41I don't know, I basically told him not to come home
10:45You'll get over it, I'm sure
10:47You weren't there
10:49No, but I do know that he loves you more than anything
10:53That guy would crawl on broken glass for you
10:57I'm a horrible person
10:58No, you're not
10:59And I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that
11:02I don't know how to stop feeling so bad
11:09I know what you need
11:11Something mindless
11:13And I am the king of mindlessness
11:17Fancy again?
11:19I said no to playing with Theo so many times
11:25And now it's too late
11:27I just wish I said yes more often
11:31Well you can still play with me
11:32What are you doing here?
11:46I don't like how we left things today
11:48I don't want to have this discussion here
11:50Lacey's upstairs
11:52Listen, you said things with Leah are getting worse
11:57And I know, I know I wasn't there today when she had a go at Lacey
12:01But was it really that bad?
12:04Yes, it was
12:06Bad enough that I talked to Lacey about an AVO
12:08You what?
12:09I wanted her to consider it, to protect herself
12:10That's a little bit extreme, Dave, I think
12:13Hey, I'm worried about my daughter
12:15Leah's not dangerous
12:17Alright, she's never going to hurt Lacey
12:19AVOs aren't just there to protect someone physically
12:22Leah is really stressing Lacey out
12:25She's harassing her at work, yelling at her in public
12:28I know, I know
12:30The AVO's not happening, right?
12:33Only because Lacey didn't want to go through with it
12:36But that doesn't mean she won't change her mind if Leah comes at her again
12:40You need to tell her to back off
12:47Look, I really appreciate the friendship you and Leah have shown me since I moved here
12:51But I'll do whatever it takes to keep my daughter safe
12:59Yeah!
13:08Here we go
13:10Oh, yeah, I gotcha
13:11No
13:12Oh, that's good
13:14Here we go
13:16Oh!
13:18That was a good one
13:19Yeah, get a full body into that one
13:21Back on track now
13:22Okay, alright
13:24Oh!
13:25Oh, well done
13:27Hey
13:28Dallin!
13:30What's going on?
13:31Oh, isn't it obvious?
13:32Yeah, Leah's smashing me
13:34Yes!
13:35Oh!
13:36I won!
13:37Again!
13:38Oh, well!
13:39Come on, another game
13:40I want to, I really do
13:41I can't, I've got to meet Remy, so
13:45Well, thank you for the company and the game
13:49It's exactly what I needed
13:50Of course
13:51You should do it again soon
13:52Absolutely, call me anytime
13:54See you mate
13:55Bye!
13:57What?
13:58Nothing
14:00Just
14:01Didn't expect to come in and see you playing games with Sonny
14:04I'd like to have fun, Dawson
14:06Oh, I didn't mean it like that
14:10It's great to see you smile again
14:13I'd almost forgotten what it looked like
14:17You know, if I knew you wanted to play games, I would have played with you
14:21Well, it was Theo's idea to play, not mine
14:24You mean Sonny's?
14:25That's what I said
14:27No
14:29You said Theo
14:32Did I? That was stupid
14:33It was stupid
14:51Hey! Bullseye! Still got it
14:52Do you remember that gig where we lost Sonny?
14:56We found him with a dart board, hushling punters out of their cash
14:59Here for that
15:01That wasn't me officer, I plead the fifth
15:02Hey!
15:03Where you been?
15:04Ah, I should take care of something
15:06Alright, well I'm glad you're here now because I have news
15:08We've organised a meeting with Eddie tomorrow
15:10Great! Where are we meeting?
15:12I thought I'd bring him here
15:14To see what? The mountain of mess in the foyer or the unfinished studio?
15:17Is that really a problem?
15:19Yes! It's a problem
15:21First impressions are vital, man
15:23We need to look professional, not like two bachelors in a man cave
15:26Yeah, told you
15:27Listen, like, eventually this whole place will be somewhere creatives can work
15:30But until then, we need to work on our brand
15:33And show Eddie that we're a legit label that he wants to be a part of
15:37Okay
15:39What do you think we should do?
15:41I say, we hire a charter boat
15:45Wine and dining
15:46Let him know that we're fun, not like these stuffy corporate labels
15:50Ooh, I'd like a boat, can you sign me to the label too, please?
15:53Don't worry, we'll be a part of the plan
15:55Oh, there's a plan?
15:56Just
15:57Do as I say, then Eddie will be begging to join us
16:05I wanna talk about this
16:06I've gotta get things sorted at the diner
16:08You called Sonny, Theo
16:10So?
16:11Well, so I wanna know if I should be worried, because I kind of am
16:14It was an accident, obviously, I know that he's not Theo
16:16Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
16:18Listen
16:21I know this is hard
16:25I wanna be there for you if you let me
16:27Just...
16:29Yeah, it was just nice
16:31Spend some time with one of his friends
16:34And just pretend everything was normal, Kim
16:37Is that all it was?
16:42Tony, you want me to get out of my head
16:44And I shouldn't have accused you an hour for ganging up on me
16:48I know you wouldn't do that
16:50I'm...
16:51I was upset
16:53I'm sorry
16:54Can you forgive me?
16:57Of course I can
16:58All right, Mr Stewart?
16:59Hey!
17:00Can I get you a tea?
17:01Thanks, Marilyn.
17:03Are you sure you're okay to be working?
17:04Oh, yes, yes.
17:05I've had a rest now and I spoke to Leah and she's gonna have a look at the rosters and get me some help.
17:09You spoke to her?
17:10How was she?
17:11Well, she was good.
17:12She was good. She was really good about the whole thing.
17:13I am summoning much good luck for your meeting with Eddie today.
17:14Well, I appreciate that.
17:15Look at that.
17:16But I mean, I'm not gonna need that.
17:17Because once I work my magic, then we're gonna have a signing in the bag.
17:18What's all this about working magic?
17:19Oh, a bit of schmoozing, a bit of boozing. You know how it is, Maas.
17:20Oh, stop.
17:21Well, that better be the firework.
17:22Oh, that better be the firework.
17:23You're working.
17:24Are you working?
17:25Oh, yes, yes. I've had a rest now.
17:26And I spoke to Leah and she's gonna have a look at the rosters and get me some help.
17:27You spoke to her? How was she?
17:28Well, she was good. She was really good about the whole thing.
17:29I am summoning much good luck for your meeting with Eddie today.
17:33Well, I appreciate that. Look at that.
17:35But, I mean, I'm not gonna need that.
17:37Because once I work my magic, then we're gonna have a signing in the bag.
17:40What's all this about working magic?
17:42Oh, a bit of schmoozing, a bit of boozing. You know how it is, Maas.
17:44Oh, stop.
17:46Oh, that better be the firework guy.
17:48Fireworks? Really?
17:50Hello?
17:52Leah. Hi.
17:56I'm... I'm free-ish.
18:00Yeah, yeah, sure. Okay, yeah. I'll be there soon.
18:02Why is Leah calling you?
18:03Oh, she'll swing by hers on the way to the studio.
18:05What about Eddie?
18:06Ah, it's nothing. It won't take long. Be fine. See you later.
18:08Hey, man.
18:09Hey.
18:10Why is he going to see Leah?
18:11I don't know, actually.
18:13Um, I know that he offered his support if she needs it.
18:15Oh, it's nice. Leah needs friends at the moment, don't she?
18:18Sorry, what are we talking about?
18:19Oh, we were just saying that isn't it lovely that Leah has a friend like Sonny.
18:23Here you go.
18:26You ready for this?
18:27Yeah, I got the easy job. Are you ready for this?
18:29Damn fine. I just...
18:31I thought Sonny might have been here by now.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Anyway, showtime.
18:35Oh, no. Good game.
18:37Eddie.
18:40Eddie.
18:41Mate.
18:42Thanks for coming. Good to see you.
18:43Thanks for having me.
18:44That ride was nice.
18:45Ah, it's all part of the gig.
18:46Um, now, I thought it would be good for you to meet one of our other artists.
18:49Singer-songwriter Eden Fowler.
18:51Hi.
18:52Remy and Sonny have told me amazing things.
18:54So you're with the label?
18:55Yeah, yeah, I'm really happy to call back on Track My Home.
18:58Makes sense.
18:59I didn't mention this the other night, but I was a big fan of Lyric.
19:02Really?
19:03Yeah.
19:04What happened to you guys?
19:05We're moving on to bigger and better things.
19:07I'll say.
19:08Can't wait to check out your recording studio.
19:10Actually, rather than spending the day inside, Sonny has organised a big day out for us.
19:15Oh, okay.
19:16You're gonna love it.
19:17We're gonna go out on the water, we'll get a boat, it's gonna be great.
19:20Sure.
19:21Where is Sonny?
19:22He is organising a few little things.
19:25Actually, I might check on him.
19:27You guys turn on to ourselves.
19:28Yeah.
19:29So, would you say you're a dance kind of a guy, Eddie?
19:34Who doesn't love dance?
19:36Good answer.
19:37You had a good ride?
19:41That was great.
19:46Thank you for coming.
19:47I just don't know what to do.
19:48What's happened?
19:49Well, the editor of the Coastal News called me back and they're standing by the article.
19:54But Lacey isn't some hero, she's some stupid girl who got my nephew killed.
19:59Okay, people will have their opinions.
20:00Well, they're wrong!
20:01I get it, I get it, but I don't know what you want me to do about it.
20:03You can't just change people's minds.
20:05I could try.
20:06Meaning?
20:07Well, I'll make them listen.
20:09I'll go down there in person and demand action, then they can't ignore me.
20:13Thank you, Sonny.
20:14I'm gonna go and get ready.
20:24Where the hell are you?
20:25Sorry.
20:26Mate, Eddie's asking all about you.
20:28We're tap dancing here.
20:29Yeah, it's really good.
20:30Because of what you said last night.
20:32What did I say?
20:33About the brand.
20:34Mate, we had to show him in the back door.
20:35Okay, just keep him busy until I get there, okay?
20:38How long's that gonna be?
20:39I'm on my way.
20:40You better be.
20:42Alright.
20:44You coming with me?
20:45No, I actually have somewhere to be.
20:47What is going on?
20:48Why is Sonny here again?
20:49He is helping me with something.
20:50Where are you going now?
20:51Coastal News.
20:52I'm gonna get them to tell the truth about Lacey.
20:54Okay.
20:55That is a bad idea.
20:56You need to leave Lacey-
20:57You wouldn't understand.
20:58I've actually gotta get going as well.
20:59Stop, stop.
21:00You gotta tell me what you're really doing here.
21:09Was there anything that I can help with?
21:11I just made a decision.
21:12A big one.
21:13And she's not gonna like it.
21:14Come on.
21:15It can't be that bad.
21:16I looked up Mom's phone number and I'm seriously considering reaching out to her.
21:19Why are you telling me this?
21:20Because it's a really big deal to get in contact with her for both of us.
21:24And I thought you had a right to know.
21:25I don't want any part of it.
21:27This woman is not coming back into our lives.
21:29This isn't just about you and me.
21:30Yeah, it's about Archie as well and protecting him.
21:33And I'm saying the best way to do that is if you forget her for good.
21:36For good.
21:37For good.
21:38For good.
