00:00There's another car, it's coming the other way.
00:10It's going too fast, it's swerving.
00:13Can you describe the vehicle?
00:14It's a great Mercedes, the C&M on the license plate.
00:17That was the tech team.
00:18They traced a vehicle based on the partial plates I remembered.
00:21Councillor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Lane.
00:24Thanks for coming in.
00:25Where were you on the day of the accident?
00:26Well, I would have to talk to my assistant.
00:29I mean, can you remember where you were two years ago?
00:32I was receiving the worst phone call of my life.
00:34You knew the victim.
00:35What makes you ask that?
00:36In my line of work, we learn to read people.
00:39I can relate to that.
00:41Being elected official, we have calendars and schedules around that time, right?
00:46I don't have that information on hand, but I can get my team to look into it.
00:51It was like he recognised me.
00:52When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:54If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed Mum.
00:57And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:59Oh, I can't hear.
01:00No, I can't.
01:17Shh.
01:18Shh.
01:18Shh.
01:19I didn't say anything.
01:22What's all this about?
01:24I'm getting in touch with my body.
01:26Oh, I don't know for that.
01:30I'm trying to feel if I have any symptoms yet or not.
01:32And before you say anything, I know it's too soon to tell if the implant's taken or not.
01:36I just, I really feel like we'll be lucky this time, you know.
01:43Think I'm bloated at all?
01:47Not even a little bit?
01:49I'm excited too, but I think it's important that we just stay patient.
01:56Okay.
01:57I know. And we will be. And I will be.
02:01Give me your hand.
02:05Freeze with me.
02:09Equino.
02:26Councillor Wendell, Sergeant Langham just following up on our conversation earlier.
02:39Yeah, I was hoping you've had time to check your diary and staff roster for the date we discussed.
02:48Yeah, I appreciate you're busy.
02:50But as I mentioned, this is a very serious matter.
02:52This case has a fatality involved.
02:54And you'll get back to me today?
03:01Great. I look forward to hearing from you then.
03:06Thanks, Councillor.
03:07Are you insane?
03:19I'm not going to get caught this time.
03:20And if I'm lucky, there'll be a different officer on duty.
03:23You can't do this. You're just going to go and what, lie your way into Dad's office?
03:26I need you to get Dad away from the station.
03:28Are you kidding me?
03:29Again, Joe. Any other ideas, feel free to share them.
03:33Hi, you're home early.
03:35Yeah, got through my stuff a bit quicker than I thought.

11:42hey is this about the way no i don't know my moods are all over the place
11:48maybe it's a pregnancy almost kicking in oh i've been probably too soon to hope on that
11:53hey you can feel however you want to feel okay yeah
12:13sergeant langham good afternoon i'm calling to request you cease all communication with my client
12:18hold on who am i talking to my name is kim knight and i represent councillor craig wendall
12:23my god i was just about to give him a call actually no doubt he's explained i'm investigating
12:28a road fatality and he was in the vicinity let's get this straight your partial plate
12:33does not place my client it's not conclusive no sorry when did the counselor decide to seek
12:40legal representation when you started unfairly targeting him based on no evidence hold on hold
12:45let's be clear i'm not targeting your client i'm exploring all possibilities i disagree and i
12:51think you'll find the law is on craig's side noted anything else do not contact my client again
13:00you want to talk to him you go through me understood understood i'll be in touch mr knight
13:08so what exactly did you tell him well i told him about our evil plan to break into the station what
13:20i lied obviously told him i had to leave for work then you bought it of course he did which made me
13:26feel even worse i'm not gonna lie to him again if this is what it takes for you and me to have a
13:30relationship i'm sorry i just can't go there okay it's okay you don't want to cross that line i get it
13:36you do yeah but i think that you should take a step back i'll handle it i'm sure you can but i
13:43think we should both take a step back why i want us to be a family again and we can't do that if we
13:48start off by not being honest with dad you said it yourself he's good at what he does he's a dog with
13:53a bone who'll find the answers we need yeah i know that he's gonna keep trying then let's just leave him
13:58to it please okay lily you let this go yeah you're right that's a cop we'll figure it out
14:11i didn't even ask how'd you go to the station did you buy anything oh it was a bust anyways it was just
14:16some a ruster and some old paperwork so anyways i said that i'd meet theo at home so we're gonna go are we
14:26good yeah i'm fine tell theo i say hi
14:46okay i promise i'm not getting ahead of myself it just feels like every ache and every twinge i'm
14:52wondering if it's a sign that i'm pregnant it is hard to think about anything else oh it's so
14:57impossible would helping me find a suit for the wedding serve as an adequate distraction i just feel
15:03really tired maybe a bit nauseous okay could be the progesterone i mean the clinic did warn me about
15:10that look why don't we go get a pregnancy test and find out together are you sure why not otherwise
15:17you're gonna keep torturing yourself you want to know now too don't you don't know anything oh okay let's go
15:26joe joe joe you home hey hey wondering where you got to i met up with lacy again actually how'd that go
15:46well i took your advice i opened up to her about how i'm feeling and i was expecting her to blow up at
15:54me but i think she actually listened well that sounds positive who knows please keep going this way
16:03maybe we'll actually be a family again i know how happy your mum would be to hear you say that
16:08anyway i don't want to be late for work you sure you want to work after the day you've had dad i promise
16:19i'm fine okay
16:30superintendent what can i do for you
16:32yes i'm aware the case is closed

17:02hey sorry i've been a while it's cool
17:13i'm just catching up with leah she says hi oh you guys must have had a lot to talk about
17:32anything interesting no not really what about you i've just been looking at clothes that i don't really
17:38need to buy how things are joe yeah it's tricky but we just need to keep talking we'll work it out
17:47proud of you i know i know i'm incredible
18:03lunch supreme oh i think that one is mine mate great mind single life thanks you're welcome to join me
18:12and leah over at our place no i should get an early night thanks anyway that day work i've had better
18:22what's going on
18:26strictly between us
18:31got a lead on a driver who's in the area where my wife died
18:37do you think they had something to do with it i think they caused the crash
18:42it's going to be a huge relief for you all
18:46will be if i can prove it you haven't spoken to them yet yeah i did
18:50then the lawyer rang my boss and complained i've been ordered to cease all inquiries what why
18:58it's a conflict of interests it's not appropriate for me to be involved they're going to follow it up
19:04so i won't be a priority especially since i currently have no evidence
19:10sorry mate
19:11yes
19:21Is this real or just a dream?
19:37Every day it's slowly sinking in
19:42Everything we built got torn apart by guilt
19:49All the cracks starting to show
19:54Are we slowly just losing hope?
20:01I'm sorry, Christina.
20:06I don't want to let you down.
20:12And I don't want to let our beautiful girls down.
20:19Hey, try not to be too disappointed if it's a negative result.
20:29Like I said, we've still got plenty of time to get a positive this round.
20:37Mackenzie.
20:49Congratulations.
20:55You're going to be a dad.
20:58Stop it.
21:03Oh my god!
21:05Today is the day.
21:10I am so excited.

21:13Cash's buck's pretty solid too.
21:15Oh yeah?
21:16Keep telling yourself that, chump.
21:17Okay, and when you say it's a gentleman's pub...
21:20Hey, don't worry.
21:21It's a classy place.
21:22I reckon we've spent way too much time worrying about what other people are expecting of us.
21:25This is our wedding.
21:26We should be able to say and do whatever we want.
21:28Where are we going?
21:29Let's go.
21:30You'll see, you'll see.
21:31Let's go, let's go.
21:32Alright.
21:35Cause that's my vibe.
