00:00I'm so sorry I left you alone with that guy. If I hadn't, this might not have happened.

00:15Hey, hey, hey. No, this is your fault. I am gonna hold the hospital responsible for my attack.

00:21I'm gonna make sure that nothing like that ever happens again.

00:24Oh, is that your new boyfriend? He's not my boyfriend.

00:27Yeah. He's taking me out again tonight.

00:30I'm so sorry, Harper. I really like you, but we can't see each other anymore.

00:36I can't go around. Connor texted. He thinks I'm on a date. He can't know I got dumped.

00:41I honestly don't think he'll be that bad. No, he can't go.

00:44I am starting a record label. What's this?

00:47That's your contract. I want you to be the manager. Is it just the two of us?

00:51I hope no. Sonny! Sonny. Call me back when you get this.

00:55I've got an offer that you won't be able to refuse.

01:16Old mate hasn't lost his fortune already, has he?

01:18Oh, he's not busking. Look at his guitar key.

01:22So he's just playing.

01:24Yeah.

01:26I'm gonna get this to Mackenzie. Enjoy the show.

01:32Well done.

01:34Oh, thank you. Thanks, everyone. Big stuff coming.

01:53Hey.

01:54Hey. How's the meeting with Admin go?

01:57Pretty sure they have sawn necks from nodding so much.

01:59That's good. No, complete waste of time.

02:03Yeah, they were so busy saying we absolutely hear you, but they weren't listening.

02:06Is there someone higher up that you could go to?

02:08I don't know. Maybe.

02:11Oh, hey. I didn't even realise you were here.

02:13Yeah, Harla was just leaving.

02:14Oh, I thought we were gonna watch a movie.

02:16Oh, were we? I think we're gonna have the rain check.

02:18Breeze had a really big day. I think she wants to debrief.

02:20No, no. Hang out. I'm gonna go to bed.

02:22Night, guys. Night.

02:23Okay, night. Night.

02:25How's she doing? Didn't she just get out of hospital?

02:29Oh, seriously. Go home.

02:31Oh, come on. Sonny's still with his family.

02:33We can have sleepover like old times.

02:35You are not trying to bond with me.

02:37You were here so that Tane thinks you were sleeping with Drew.

02:39That's sad. Go home. Tell the truth.

02:41Okay, do you not see how humiliating that is for me?

02:44Everybody has bad dates. I am sure the demigod himself has been dumped.

02:47I'm staying over. End of story.

02:50Simple hardy food. Ketley's villagers.

02:53This is my drink for you. I really need to succeed today, but I've just done this.

02:57And as time passed, Maui's giant fish became the North Island.

03:02Te Ika a Maui. That's where I was born.

03:05That's where your whānau's from.

03:07And Maui's canoe became the South Island.

03:13And the anchor became...

03:18The anchor became...

03:19Stay close. Stay with hope.

03:25It's not gone till we let it roll away.

03:36Hey. Hey.

03:36How are you going?

03:38Mm. A little better.

03:41Okay.

03:41How was the restaurant?

03:44Yeah, good.

03:45They're busy, actually.

03:46Remy was playing at the front, so hopefully he's feeling better.

03:50He pulled a bit of a crowd, actually.

03:56Hey.

03:58You sure you're feeling okay?

03:59Okay, whenever you ask me, all I can think about is the echo retrieval tomorrow.

04:02I'm sorry. Yep.

04:03I know you're asking because you care.

04:05No, you don't want to be reminded.

04:06Oh, I don't want to be reminded, you know, because I'm trying to let go of expectation because I don't think I can handle being disappointed again.

04:13Mac.

04:13Hmm?

04:14Whatever happens tomorrow, we're going to face it together.

04:17Okay? I'm going to be right there with you.

04:19You know, you could have borrowed literally anything of mine to wear.

04:32I can't even think I'm doing a walk of shame. I can't do that in my sister's clothes.

04:35Oh, see, I didn't connect those dots. I guess because I'm not insane.

04:40Be honest, if the roles were reversed, you would do exactly the same thing.

04:43Well, if that is true, then wouldn't this be the chance to prove that you're the braver, more mature sister?

04:50Why don't you just tell him it didn't work out, so you wanted a DNM and you came and slept at mine?

04:54That makes me sound like a total loser.

04:56But lying about this is so much cooler.

04:58No, I can't tell him, all right? He knows I really liked Drew.

05:02Yeah, he's not going to make you feel embarrassed about it, too. He's a nice guy.

05:05Yeah, exactly. He won't move on until he knows I'm okay.

05:09Hmm. You don't think you're making up something altruistic, so I let you continue this insane plan?

05:14No, I'm being serious. Tana stopped seeing Joe because of me.

05:16Like, he will never move on if he's guilty that I'm moping around after him.

05:21Well, that's very noble of you. Also, you are not staying at my apartment every time you have a fake date.

05:26I won't. I won't always be like this.

05:27Yeah, no, he's not going to be like this because you know what you're going to do?

05:30You're going to go home and tell the truth. Rip the band-aid off and move on.

05:34All right, I'm going. Yeah, out of go.

05:39They always say you know when you know.

05:46Morning, sunshine. When did you get back?

05:47About 20 minutes ago. Right. You haven't been home yet?

05:50I know, but if you can ask me about Bree, then you might as well-

05:53No, no, no, no. That's done with, right? I am moving on.

05:57Okay. Good. Anyway, I'd much rather talk about this big offer that I can't refuse.

06:04Yeah. You are going to love it.

06:09Okay. Out with it. Enough of the suspense. What is it?

06:14I'm starting my own record label.

06:16Dude! Man, that's huge. Congrats.

06:18Thanks, mate. Thank you. Got Justin on board. He's going to manage the talent.

06:24But I need you to be my marketing guy.

06:28Marketing? Yes, marketing.

06:30What do I know about marketing?

06:31You do remember the days when Lyric was starting out.

06:34Yeah, of course. Remember the smell of the basements.

06:36You were our hype guy. You were the guy pulling in the crowd.

06:40That's true. Yeah, I mean, you were grabbing strangers from the street.

06:43You were putting up posters, getting on the socials. You called those radio stations.

06:47Yeah, but it was all for fun. I'm assuming this label is going to be serious business.

06:50Yes, it is going to be serious business and more money. But at the heart of it,

06:53it's still the same gig. Getting the word out.

06:55I don't know, man. Surely there's someone more qualified.

06:59I'm sure there is, but I don't care about fancy qualifications. I know you. I know what you're

07:04capable of. Mate, you were born to do something like this. So what do you say?

07:10I mean, it depends. Are you going to make it worth my while? Are you in or are you out?

07:20I'm in, bro. Obviously. Come on.

07:22Good. No matter what happens, I'm here. I've got you.

07:27Yeah. Can we just go? I'm not going to ask if you're okay. You're just going to have to tell me.

07:32I just, I want this so badly and this is exactly where we went wrong last time.

07:36That doesn't mean it's going to happen again. Look, we've been here before. We know what to expect.

07:40I know. Let's go.

07:43Hey. Hey. Welcome back. Did you have a nice time?

08:01Oh, nothing beats the night with Archie. Hey. Hey, little dude. How are you?

08:08Yeah. Oh, that's brutal. Hey. How did you sleep?

08:16Yeah, great. Great. I'm just about to feed him. Oh, I can do that.

08:19No, no. I can if you want to. If I want to what?

08:23Well, you've been out all night, so if you want to freshen up, then I've got him.

08:27Oh, right. Ah, listen. Sorry, I didn't mean to make things awkward.

08:34No, you didn't. Just so we're clear, I'm really happy.

08:38That you've met someone. Well, thank you. Ah, and thanks for watching him last night.

08:46Yeah, yeah. No, you know I love my one-on-one time with them.

08:48So, if this Drew guy is making you happy, then, you know, go on as many dates as you want.

08:53Thanks, Greg.

08:54Okay, great. Sounds like a plan. Yeah, I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

09:06Thanks, Keith. All right, bye. I'm sorry, was that security guard from work, Keith?

09:12Yeah, I invited him to lunch.

09:15Well, if I'm going to make changes to security, then I have to understand how things work on their end.

09:19Oh, that makes sense. I mean, hopefully he's got something to say.

09:22Yeah. Hey.

09:24What? He's home early.

09:26I knew she didn't know. Yay.

09:29So, how was it? How was your brother's graduation?

09:32Yeah, the funny hats and the robes weirded me out a little bit,

09:34but the bender, I took them on afterwards, so that was the real highlight.

09:37Oh, I hope he survived the experience.

09:38Oh, yeah, he loved it.

09:40Um, anyway, I can't stay for long.

09:42I'm just dropping my bags off because I have a business meeting to attend.

09:45A business meeting?

09:46Yeah.

09:48Business?

09:49Business. Yeah, with Remy and Justin.

09:51Oh, is this about the new record label?

09:53Wait, so did Remy give you a job? Is something happening?

09:56Walk with me and I'll fill you in.

09:57I'll fill you in.

10:15Hey, go ahead.

10:19How are you feeling?

10:22Tired.

10:25It's just a sedation wagon.

10:26Mm-hmm.

10:29I'm sorry.

10:31I just, I can't stop thinking about how this is exactly where we were last time.

10:37The clinic said things went really well.

10:41They found even more eggs this time.

10:43It doesn't matter if they find a hundred.

10:46If they can't be fertilized.

10:48I just mean...

10:49Please don't try and get my herbs up right now.

10:51Come on, let's get you inside so you can rest.

11:00I'm so sorry you got hurt.

11:15No, I'm, I'm not yet applying you. I just...

11:19I want to understand why security didn't come when we called.

11:22At the time, there's a fight in the car park and an incident in the pharmacy.

11:26So security can't handle longer incidents at once?

11:28Admin won't pay for enough staff, but even if they did, they're powerless to actually do anything.

11:33Sorry, what do you mean?

11:35We're just a visual deterrent. All we can actually do is call the cops.

11:38Are you kidding me?

11:40I know, but that's the policy in Northern Districts and we have to abide by it or we'll lose our jobs.

11:45You know, the more I learn about hospital management, the more I feel like they don't care about us at all.

11:52If you're serious about trying to improve the situation, you should start with this.

11:58What's this?

12:00So, Sonny, eh?

12:02Sonny's fun. Plus, he can draw a crowd.

12:04You know, he just needs someone to give him a chance.

12:06You look like someone else who got a chance from Larry.

12:08Yeah, yeah. Look, if he's good enough for you, he's good enough for me, mate.

12:11No, he is, mate. I can't tell you the amount of times he's turned up to one of our gigs with a hundred of his new best buddies.

12:16Let's have the gift of the gun.

12:23Let's go somewhere else.

12:24You all right?

12:25Yeah.

12:25Yeah, just, uh, I'll tell Sonny to meet at my place.

12:34My business meeting's been moved.

12:35Where?

12:35Remy's.

12:36Oh, I can't sit and have a cocktail, watch you be businessy there.

12:40Next time.

12:41All right, do I look okay?

12:42Yeah.

12:42Good.

12:43Go win at marketing.

12:44I will.

12:45Hey, bro.

12:46Hey, how are things at home?

12:48Uh, good.

12:49Did, um, Harper tell you about her date?

12:52No, but I assume it went pretty well.

12:54She didn't come home till this morning.

12:55Right, right.

12:56So she didn't, she didn't talk to you about it?

12:58No, no, not really.

13:00But I'm sure she'll tell you everything if you ask her.

13:02Yeah, yeah.

13:03So she just seemed regular-dagular.

13:06Yeah.

13:07Cool.

13:08Hey, this Drew, see, he's a good guy.

13:12Oh, you know, he's a guy.

13:14Oh, come on, be honest.

13:15I mean, he could end up being in my son's life.

13:17And I want to make sure Harper's okay.

13:19Well, Harper says he is super romantic, and super strong, and not douchey at all, so.

13:27Right, okay.

13:28So I guess she'll be staying at this place even more, then.

13:31That would make sense, wouldn't it?

13:33You know how it is.

13:35What's that?

13:35It's new love, you know, and you can't keep away from each other, and no doubt Drew's got

13:42some big thing planned for tonight.

13:44Wait, tonight?

13:45Yep.

13:46That's funny, Harper didn't say anything about looking after Archie.

13:48That is funny.

13:49That's funny.

13:50Um, well, she's probably just in the spell, you know, in the days of it all.

13:54Oh, okay.

13:55Well, I'd better drop the stuff off and then head home.

13:57You'd better.

13:57Well, thank you for organizing all that.

14:18It's all right.

14:19I like looking after you.

14:23I'm sorry that I've been so down in the dumps lately.

14:25You haven't.

14:26Oh, come on.

14:28I haven't exactly been upbeat.

14:30And I just want to say that I know that this is really hard for you too.

14:35It's just every time that I get my hopes up, I get this like,

14:38knot in my stomach, and I just feel like I'm two seconds away from losing everything, you know?

14:43But neither of us can control what's about to happen, and that's hard for both of us to get it.

14:54We just have to let the experts do their best and remain positive, take each moment as it comes.

15:02I'm so lucky to have found you.

15:09I'm the lucky one.

15:13You sure you want to do this now?

15:15Yeah, well, I wouldn't be.

15:17Seeing Bree with another man, that can't have been easy.

15:20Thanks, mate.

15:21But, uh, Bree and I are done.

15:23I don't want to focus on the future, and that is the label.

15:26Right, mate.

15:27Mate, I'm going to pour everything I can into this to make sure it is successful.

15:30OK, it has to be.

15:33Hey, I thought we were having a fancy business lunch.

15:35Ah, yeah, well, plans have changed.

15:36Oh, we can't put homemade sangas on the business expense account.

15:39Not yet, all right, but we're just getting started.

15:42First thing we need to do is find an office and a recording space.

15:45I looked through the options you gave me.

15:48Do you really want any of them?

15:50They're the only rental spaces in the area.

15:53Have you thought about buying a place outright?

15:55The real estate investment could pay off in the long term.

16:00Plus, we wouldn't need anyone's permission to make changes to the place.

16:04This is all deeply interesting, but I can't think on an empty stomach.

16:07Go to the fridge.

16:09Why don't we look through some commercial listings and just see if anything works for us?

16:13Yeah, that's gratitude. Then we'd find the perfect spot for us.

16:16I can't believe how many incidents have taken place without any actionable management.

16:28You think they'd take their duty of care more seriously?

16:32Yeah, unruly behaviour by a visitor and the admin apologised to them.

16:37I mean, that's crazy.

16:40Did you know there was an armed hostage situation a few years ago?

16:42I'm reading that now, and a doctor was shot dead.

16:46They did nothing about improving security after that.

16:49Nothing.

16:50Thank you for this. I'm not going to rest until something changes.

16:55I admire the determination, but don't get your hopes up, okay?

17:09There are so many places to choose from, but what about this one?

17:12This was a doctor's surgery, right? If we knock out this wall here, put a studio up in the background.

17:19Yeah, we've got to think of soundproofing too.

17:21Yeah, for sure.

17:22Mm-mm, no. That's the one you want.

17:24That's the warehouse.

17:26Mm, correction. It's a huge warehouse.

17:28What do you want all that space for?

17:30Arcade games. Go-kart track.

17:34You do remember what kind of business this is, right?

17:37Yeah, look, if we want to sign the cool kids, we have to be cool.

17:42We want them to walk in and be like, wow, we've got to sign with these guys.

17:46It could be cool. Artists could have someone who chilled between sessions.

17:49What, a good basketball hoop-up?

17:50Yeah.

17:51Honestly, guys, I just think that is a waste of money.

17:54Money that we could be spending on marketing, recording gear, you know?

17:59Uh, what about ping pong tape?

18:15You have a phone? Where did you read it?

18:16Because you don't want to answer it.

18:18I was feeding Archie. What's wrong?

18:20You lied to Tane.

18:22You've seen him. Please tell me you kept up my story.

18:24Yes, I, your very loyal sister, kept up the tall tale.

18:28Okay, thank you.

18:28No, hold that thought.

18:30I also told him that you and Drew have another date planned.

18:34What? When?

18:35Tonight.

18:36Why would you do that?

18:36Because I panicked. I panicked.

18:38Oh, I can't believe this.

18:39Well, believe it.

18:40Because you are the one that lied first, so I was following my big sister's example.

18:44You've made it a million times worse.

18:45You could have just told the truth in the first place, but you didn't.

18:47And so then I had to stand in front of him and he was looking at me

18:50and he was concerned about you and he was concerned about Archie.

18:52And so then I had what I can only describe as an out-of-body experience,

18:54where I start seeing myself talking and I think-

18:57Will you shut up?

18:58What am I going to do?

18:58I don't have a date.

18:59I don't know.

19:00I don't know.

19:00But I need you to fix this so that we can both stop lying.

19:05It's now.

19:05Ha ha.

19:07Oh my god.

19:07Hi, hi.

19:08I'm here again.

19:09What are you here for lunch or?

19:11No.

19:13See ya.

19:13Your sister's where?

19:23Yeah, that's one word for her.

19:25I actually saw her earlier.

19:26She said that you're seeing Drew again tonight?

19:28Yeah.

19:29Oh, so another last night for me and Archie then.

19:32That's cool.

19:32Oh, it's short notice.

19:34I can cancel.

19:35No, go.

19:36No, that's not fair on you.

19:37No, honestly, it's fine.

19:38You should go.

19:39No, I've been going out a lot, like it's just-

19:41It's all good.

19:42Honestly, we're going to be fine.

19:43You go.

19:44It's good.

19:49I was thinking we start with established artists first up.

19:53People who are successful enough to help pay the bills while we're building the name.

19:57No, I think we should go all in on artists that no one else is paying any attention to.

20:04You mean people who are not making any money?

20:06Yeah, Remy can cover the bills in the meantime.

20:07Hey, is that right?

20:10Hmm.

20:10Look, I think we invest in them early, all right?

20:13Sign them for minimal outlay, and then that way we make a huge packet when they blow up.

20:17Yeah.

20:18Oh, hang on.

20:19Some real estate agent can take it.

20:20Hey, mate.

20:21Yeah.

20:22Thanks for getting back.

20:23Oi, do you really want to be here?

20:28Yeah, of course I do.

20:29Why do you keep treating this label like a joke?

20:31I'm not.

20:32You know what Remy's been through?

20:34Yeah, more than you do.

20:35Well, then you know he needs this to be successful to help him get through everything he's been

20:39through with Bree.

20:40You know, Remy doesn't have a problem with any of my ideas.

20:42Yeah, because he's your friend, all right?

20:44And he's got a soft spot for you.

20:46You've got to stop taking advantage of him.

20:48You need to chill.

20:50Well, if you're going to treat this like a jerk, you need to step aside.

20:56So, can you be serious or not?

21:04Behave yourself, little man.

21:06Well, he feels a little hot.

21:08Maybe I should reschedule?

21:09I'll keep it on.

21:10You go.

21:11Enjoy yourself.

21:11Um, is this another date?

21:13What's next?

21:14What?

21:14I'm allowed to ask.

21:15I mean, is he nice?

21:17Is he hot?

21:18Oh, right.

21:18Don't want to jinx it.

21:19Oh, darling.

21:21Is he late or are you early?

21:22Shall I start planning your fake wedding now?
