00:01Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:09Maybe we should still keep it a secret.
00:11Why?
00:12Don't tell me Harper's gonna have a problem.
00:14It's actually your dad I'm worried about.
00:15I suppose secrets can be fun,
00:17but actually a lot of things are really fun with you.
00:20I don't have the energy to go over everything right now.
00:23Is that because you stayed up all night confiding in Sunny?
00:25Do you know why I did that?
00:26Why?
00:27Because Sunny is the only one not judging me.
00:29She's probably just using him as a different sort of sounding board.
00:33You mean someone who's not family?
00:34Yeah, but close enough that she can trust.
00:37You wanna talk to Sunny?
00:38I'm not gonna complain.
00:39You do what you need to.
00:41The next time I'm with Theo, I'll call you or I'll text you.
00:44She keeps referring to you as Theo.
00:46Does that sound normal?
00:48Why would Remy ask Sunny to be involved in the label and not me?
00:51You know, you could always just talk to him and tell him how you're feeling.
00:54I'm not gonna beg to be involved.
00:56Eden's feeling excluded.
00:58From what?
00:59From your new label.
01:00Yeah, she wants to be a part of it.
01:01Is there a reason that she's not?
01:08Hey.
01:09Hey.
01:10Good to see you smiling again.
01:12Well, I am about to have dinner with one of my favourite people.
01:14That's a coincidence.
01:15So am I.
01:17Bit early for dinner though.
01:19You're working later.
01:20No.
01:21Just have plans.
01:22Who with?
01:26Friend from work.
01:27Well, I'm glad you're making friends.
01:29I guess you need someone to complain about Lacey and I too.
01:33Yeah, well, I'll just set off for dinner with my dad for now.
01:37Should we head up?
01:38Yeah.
01:46I'm gonna grab us a table.
01:47I'll get us some menus and a drink.
01:49Okay.
01:50Thanks Dad.
01:51Cheers.
01:52Hey Sarge.
01:53Newman.
01:54Hang on, mate.
01:55Cheers.
02:10I had no idea that he didn't want him to be involved.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Yeah, I guess she didn't really think about it until the wedding was over and things had
02:18settled down a bit.
02:19But, you know, now you're excited about your new artist and she's seen the studio for herself.
02:24So it's in her face in a way that it wasn't before, you know what I mean?
02:27Yeah, yeah.
02:28I mean, should I be having this conversation with her?
02:32She wants you to ask her about it.
02:34Look, when I first had this idea, we had a conversation, but I thought it was just a joke.
02:39Okay, so you do want her to be involved, right?
02:44This is a way for me to move on from Lyric.
02:48And let's face it, mate.
02:49Eden is Lyric.
02:51Eden is your best friend.
02:52I know that.
02:54I know that.
02:55But I don't hurt her.
02:56Because, you know, I love her and she's super talented, but this needs to be mine.
03:03She can't be a part of me.
03:09Can you tell me what you guys talked about last night?
03:12A thousand things.
03:14We, you know, memories of Theo.
03:16We laughed at some stuff and then she got upset again.
03:19You know, of all the people who knew Theo, you knew him the least.
03:23So why do you think she's latching on to you?
03:28I don't know.
03:29She trusts me for some reason.
03:32Hear me out.
03:33I'm starting to think when she's close to you, she feels like she's close to Theo again.
03:44And that is starting to seem like denial.
03:47It does make some sense.
03:49Mmm.
03:51I know you don't want to go behind her back.
03:53I respect that.
03:55But you're not doing her any favours by indulging her.
04:01Righto.
04:03You know where to find me if you want a chat.
04:04I'm home.
04:17Hey.
04:18Thank you for picking up dinner.
04:20You've gone a while.
04:22Yes.
04:23I thought maybe you'd like some space.
04:26From you?
04:27Never.
04:31This must be boring for you that I keep landing back here over and over again after Lyric.
04:36No, it's okay.
04:37Not knowing what I want.
04:39And it's always about music.
04:41Well then I can understand why it means a lot to you.
04:45It's just...
04:46Remy...
04:48He's chasing something that he believes in.
04:52Maybe...
04:53Maybe I'm just jealous.
04:54Yeah, well...
04:55You and I have our own thing going on.
04:57And it's not rock and roll, but it's not nothing, so...
04:59No, of course not.
05:00I'm not saying that.
05:02I am happy.
05:04It's just, you know...
05:06After Lyric...
05:08There I go again.
05:10Did you miss the bit where I keep landing back here?
05:12Yeah, it's all good.
05:14It's all good.
05:16You and me.
05:18Aren't we enough?
05:19Like you even need to ask.
05:24Nice to have done.
05:25So what happens next time Leah turns up in your doorstep?
05:26Do you think Justin's right?
05:27Am I making this harder for her?
05:28No, it's already hard.
05:29And to be honest, if she called me, I'd be there too.
05:30She's not knocking on your door though, is she?
05:31Give it some time.
05:32Things will come, you know.
05:33Besides, we've got enough going on.
05:34Have you listened to Eddie's samples yet?
05:35We've made meetings tomorrow.
05:36Ah, that's right.
05:37Do I have to write it on your hand?
05:38No.
05:39Do I have to write it on your hand?
05:40No.
05:41I will be prepared.
05:42Well, you better be.
05:43Hey, you two.
05:44Hey, you.
05:45You're cutting it a little fine if we're meant to be meeting at eight, aren't you?
06:02Hey, you two.
06:04How are you?
06:06You're cutting it a little fine if we're meant to be meeting at eight, aren't you?
06:10Yeah, listen, I'm sorry. Harper just called. She was standing on her work trip, so I have our check-in tonight.
06:16Oh, good.
06:18I'm sorry. I was really looking forward to it, too.
06:22Anyway, thanks. Appreciate it.
06:24Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all good.
06:28What did he want?
06:30Oh, nothing. I was just asking him what time Luke had was on in the morning.
06:34Well, you'd better get a move on. Don't want to keep your friend waiting.
06:37Oh, my friend got called into work.
06:40That's a shame.
06:42Lookin' good out there?
07:00Feels a bit weird.
07:03Been out there alone?
07:05Yeah, I bet.
07:08Hey, I've been thinking about our conversation yesterday.
07:11Yeah?
07:12Firstly, I just wanted to check in and see how Leigh's doing. Is she okay?
07:16She's going to work.
07:18Work? Well, that's a good sign, right?
07:20I suppose.
07:21Have you spoken to her today?
07:23No. Nope.
07:25Guess that's progress.
07:27Yeah, well, I guess if she's starting to feel a little better, then maybe there's nothing to worry about after all.
07:32Let's hope so.
07:41Have you made a decision on a photo?
07:42I have made a decision. I'm thinking this one.
07:44I think I'm going to have this blown up and framed. What do you think?
07:47Mmm, I love it.
07:48Yeah?
07:49I love you.
07:50Oh, you may be classy.
07:51Yeah, I'm going to make your eggs. Sit down.
07:53Thank you, but there is something that I need to take care of.
07:55Mm-hmm.
07:56I thought about things and you were right.
07:59Right about what?
08:01About Remy.
08:02I am going to talk to him about the label.
08:05Mm-hmm.
08:07Are you sure that's a good idea?
08:10Well, you were the one who encouraged me to talk to him.
08:12Yeah, that's because you were quite upset about it yesterday.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Listen, I love being married to you, but I need my own thing, you know, some direction and, you know, working at Remy's label, it's a natural fit.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Well, I mean, is it really your own thing if it's Remy's label? I don't know.
08:29Yeah, that's how the music biz works. You use your connections and he's my best mate, so.
08:35Do we need to decide on this right now?
08:37Right now.
08:38No. No, we do not. I gotta have a shower first.
08:40Yeah, okay.
08:41Yeah.
08:53Look, don't hate me, boss. Sorry, I lost track of time and, I don't know.
08:57Do you plan on being late every time we met this guy?
08:59No, I'm a consummate professional.
09:02Eddie, my man, we were just talking about you.
09:03You certainly were.
09:04A bit late.
09:05That's when it was five minutes between friends.
09:07Um, hey, look, we were listening to your songs last night and, gotta say, we were really impressed.
09:11Boy, I'm a little nervous about a couple of them. Ain't nothing to be nervous about. We can work on all that.
09:17We've got some options for how we want to launch you.
09:19It all is.
09:20Great. Well, first, coffee.
09:24Hey, uh, we really believe in you, Eddie.
09:26You are gonna be huge.
09:29I don't hate hearing that.
09:36Keys?
09:38Yeah.
09:39Thanks, sweetheart.
09:41What have you got on today?
09:45Not much. Just, um, hanging around the house.
09:48No plans on your day off?
09:50No.
09:51I thought you were doing bootcamp this morning.
09:54Yeah, I just don't really feel like it anymore.
09:57You okay?
09:58Yeah, I'm fine.
10:00Really, I'm fine.
10:02Alright.
10:03See you later.
10:04See ya.
10:05I was just thinking about you.
10:18Were you now?
10:20Sorry again about last night.
10:22It's fine.
10:24Have you, uh, heard from Harper yet this morning?
10:28No, not a word.
10:29Listen, I was thinking, I know you have Archie, but maybe I could come to your place.
10:33I'd love that, but...
10:36I can't.
10:37I've got an agreement with Harper.
10:39Have I told you how much I hate rules?
10:41You have no idea how much I get that right now.
10:44Oh, I think I do.
10:46You will let me know when Harper's on her way home.
10:48Trust me, you'll be the first to know.
10:51Okay.
10:52Speak soon.
10:53Bye.
10:54We have got the social media campaign ready to roll.
10:58Yep, we've reached out for some journos.
10:59There's some interest there too.
11:00You guys don't muck around.
11:02Hey, now those samples you sent through.
11:04A few with, uh, lead single material in there.
11:06But your studio's not ready.
11:08Oh, not yet.
11:09But you know what that means.
11:10It's more time to work on these arrangements, to rehearse, to fine-tune things.
11:13Maybe we could work on some new songs in the meantime too.
11:15100%.
11:16Eddie, hi.
11:17Good to see you.
11:18You too.
11:20We need to talk.
11:21Now.
11:22You have to wait.
11:23I'm in the middle of the meeting.
11:25What are you doing?
11:26Waiting.
11:27Sorry.
11:28It's cool.
11:29No, it's not cool, actually.
11:30Would you give us a second, guys?
11:31Eden?
11:33I'm in the middle of the meeting.
11:35What are you doing?
11:36Waiting.
11:37Sorry.
11:38It's cool.
11:39No, it's not cool, actually.
11:40Would you give us a second, guys?
11:41Eden?
11:43Now is not the time or place.
11:48When is?
11:49I...
11:50I want to be a part of this.
11:51I don't know what Cash told you, but this isn't...
11:53Wait, wait.
11:54What are you talking about?
11:55Oh, we're not doing this.
11:56No, no, no.
11:57What's Cash got to do with this?
12:00I'm in the middle of a client meeting.
12:01Eddie is my priority right now.
12:07Fine.
12:08Okay, thank you.
12:09I'll be in touch.
12:11Hey, Sarge.
12:12That was the DPP.
12:13They're chasing victim impact statements on the Wendell case.
12:16His sentencing hearing's coming up.
12:19Good.
12:21Is there anything else you'd like me to do?
12:23No, I'll handle it.
12:25Would you like me to get a hold of Leah and Justin for you?
12:28Thanks.
12:29Leave it with me.
12:30I know I'm not meant to be here, but this is important.
12:34Did you talk to Remy about me?
12:37Um...
12:39Can I take a break?
12:41Good idea, Newman.
12:46All right, well, we'll be in touch about the socials
12:49and getting that content recorded.
12:52Anything else?
12:53Anything else?
12:54Yes, actually.
12:55So, um, I listened to your samples last night
12:57and as Rem said, I mean, you've got a few potential lead singles in there.
13:01Thanks.
13:02And I just wondered if there's any song in particular
13:04you want to push the top of the list or...?
13:05Good question.
13:06Yeah.
13:07I mean, I'm no expert, but I, uh, I think it's a clear choice
13:10between Blue Sky Blues and the other slower one.
13:14Are we there?
13:15Yeah, that's it.
13:16Well, I like to think of myself as an expert
13:17and that would have been my choice.
13:18Really?
13:19Yeah, it's got a great sound, even without the full arrangement.
13:21Uh, what's it about?
13:24An old friend of mine was having a really rough time.
13:26I didn't know how to help her.
13:28What happened in the end?
13:30She shut me out.
13:32Nah, I just hope she's okay now.
13:37Yeah, I should keep moving anyway.
13:38Uh, I'll catch you soon, Eddie.
13:39Pleasure, man.
13:43Are you okay?
13:44Yeah, yeah, he'll be fine.
13:45Uh, look, mate, I'm sorry about Eden before.
13:48I don't know what it was about, but clearly you two have a lot of history.
13:53I know.
13:54She went above and beyond to help you out at the studio.
13:57Mm.
13:58She's a cool chick too.
13:59I hope you saw it.
14:00Yeah, me too.
14:01Anyway, until next time.
14:03Good luck.
14:04Thanks.
14:11David!
14:15No way.
14:16The last person I was expecting to run into.
14:17What are you doing here?
14:19I could ask you the same thing.
14:22Well, the girls are not going to believe this.
14:25I'm confused.
14:26Did I miss the part where I asked you to get involved?
14:40No.
14:41Mm-hmm.
14:42You didn't.
14:43I just thought that if I mentioned it to Remy, he might realize that he should hire you.
14:45Yeah.
14:46Well, I mean, he realized, didn't he?
14:47And now he has no intention of hiring you.
14:49I am so sorry about this.
14:50Babe, why didn't you tell me that you talked to him if I'd known that I never would have gone there and made an idiot of myself?
14:56Yeah, I know.
14:57I just genuinely thought that it would help and didn't.
15:01Why didn't I say that?
15:02Remy doesn't want me around.
15:03I...
15:04I feel so stupid.
15:07Aidan, that's not what this is about.
15:09Not right now, Remy.
15:10I just want to speak to him, mate.
15:11Why?
15:12So you can humiliate me some more?
15:13Yeah, I could handle that better.
15:14You think?
15:15I...
15:16Yes.
15:17I'm trying to help.
15:18I don't understand.
15:19Yeah, I know that.
15:20So why are you locking me out?
15:22Why are you happy to work with Sunny and not with me?
15:25You're right.
15:26I should have considered you in the mix.
15:28Yeah.
15:29And I didn't because I was just trying to work out what I wanted.
15:33Aidan, this is your life here with Cash.
15:35Now, you've been so excited about your future and your marriage.
15:38So?
15:39What I'm trying to say is that I am just as excited about my future.
15:43And that it is okay for us to go our separate ways.
15:46It really is.
15:48And look, maybe in the future when everything is established there will be opportunities for session work.
15:54Session work?
15:55Yes.
15:56Session work?
15:57Okay.
15:58But for now, while I'm setting this up, it has to be mine.
16:01So that's it.
16:02You.
16:03Me.
16:04The music.
16:05We're done.
16:06Yeah, you didn't, mate.
16:07I love you.
16:08I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
16:09Okay?
16:10But I'm still here.
16:11I'm still your friend.
16:12It's just right now, I have to do this on my own.
16:15So now I know.
16:16You okay?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Sure?
16:19Mm-hmm.
16:20Mm-hmm.
16:21You okay?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Sure?
16:24Mm-hmm.
16:25Mm-hmm.
16:26So now I know.
16:28You okay?
16:29Yeah.
16:30Sure?
16:31Mm-hmm.
16:32Mm-hmm.
16:33You okay?
16:34Yeah.
16:35Sure?
16:36Mm-hmm.
16:37Thinking how it was before.
16:39Didn't know we're keeping score.
16:41Mm-hmm.
16:42Hey.
16:43Thanks for coming, Lathal.
16:44What's happened?
16:45As Leah contacted you?
16:46No, no, no, no.
16:47Still not.
16:48No, no, no.
16:49Still not.
16:50No, no, no.
16:51No, no.
16:52No, no.
16:53No, no.
16:54No, no.
16:55No, no.
16:56No, no.
16:57No, no.
16:58No, no.
16:59No, no, no.
17:00No, no.
17:01No, no.
17:02No word yet.
17:03But, uh...
17:04Okay.
17:05So, what am I doing here?
17:08Well, I, uh, I heard what you said.
17:11And you know Leah better than anyone.
17:14So, of course, I'm gonna listen to you.
17:16Okay.
17:17So?
17:18So, if she reaches out again, I'll let you know.
17:22Great.
17:23Great.
17:24Thanks.
17:25But I hope I'm right.
17:27And, uh, you know, she really is doing better.
17:29Because if that's not the case, then I'm still gonna show off.
17:31I'm still gonna show up for her.
17:33It's...
17:34It's just obvious she could use a friend right now.
17:37That's okay with me.
17:39And I think it goes to you as well as, you know, if you want a chap, grab a beer or something.
17:44You know, I'm around.
17:45Thanks, mate.
17:46Okay.
17:47Better get home to Leah.
17:48All right.
17:49See ya.
17:50Bye.
17:51Bye.
17:52Bye.
17:53So there was another driver.
17:54That answers a lot of questions.
17:57We've still got the sentencing to get through.
18:00But I'm hopeful.
18:02Finally feels like we're getting justice.
18:06Some kind of closure.
18:07Joe must be so relieved.
18:10What about our panic attacks?
18:12She hasn't had one since Wendell was arrested.
18:17It's good to see her happy.
18:20Is there anyone special in their life?
18:22Not that I'm aware of.
18:25Last couple of years have taken their toll.
18:28She's been pretty lonely.
18:30Hopefully that's about to change.
18:39Wow.
18:40Well, you.
18:41This is starting to become a habit.
18:43Oh, I'm not complaining.
18:45You're not working today?
18:46No.
18:47Just filling in the time.
18:48The hours can really drag by.
18:50Maybe I should take a tip from Archie and go home and have a nap.
18:53I wish I could join you.
18:55Not that there'd be much sleep getting done.
19:00How long is Harper away?
19:02I don't know.
19:03Great.
19:04So it's an indefinite freeze.
19:06You know what?
19:08Leave it with me.
19:09Really?
19:10Yeah.
19:12Okay.
19:13Hey, Cash.
19:14Hey, mate.
19:15Hey.
19:16You're not working tonight, are you?
19:18I'm not working late, no.
19:19Why?
19:20It's a big ask and a bit late notice, but there's any chance you can look after Archie.
19:24Oh.
19:25Harper's not back?
19:26No.
19:27No.
19:28No.
19:29No.
19:30No.
19:31No.
19:32No.
19:33No.
19:34No.
19:35No.
19:36No.
19:37No.
19:38No.
19:39No.
19:40No.
19:41No.
19:42Well, Harper's not back?
19:43No.
19:44Well, should we be okay with it, considering what happened to me last time I tried to look
19:46after your kid?
19:47Maybe we won't mention it to you.
19:49Oh, you don't want to know?
19:50Is that because you're going to see Joe?
19:52Eh?
19:53Well, can you do it or not?
19:55All right.
19:56I'll tell Eden to expect a guest.
19:57All right.
19:58Thank you, mate.
19:59But it's not every day.
20:00And I find I'm wishing the time away.
20:09Well, I am missing her.
20:11Oh, they say we just live for the weekend, but I can't wait for Monday.
20:24It is.
20:25I was wondering where you got to.
20:27What are you doing at home?
20:28Aren't you supposed to be at work?
20:32Eddie.
20:35I ran into your dad.
20:36He suggested I should stop by and say hello.
20:39I was going to give you a call, but I didn't.
20:43Right.
20:46Well, I'm here now.
20:47Well, I'll leave you to it.
20:49Good to see you again, Eddie.
20:50You too.
20:54It's been a long time.
20:57It sure has.
