00:00But, I mean, it's okay to get second prize.
00:03I'm going to tell him that you're calling that.
00:07It's true.
00:08Okay, that is my cue to leave.
00:09Yeah, it's... Why is he calling me?
00:11Like, isn't it too early to call?
00:12Like, what do I do?
00:14Answer it.
00:19Hi.
00:22Yeah, I'm good. How are you?
00:25Ah, I can definitely be free tonight.
00:28What were you thinking?
00:31Are you kidding? My middle name's Korean barbecue.
00:34So what's all that about?
00:35A big date last night.
00:37Ah, good for her.
00:40It's nice to see her so happy.
00:41Yeah, it is.
00:48I'm leaving.
00:49Same.
00:50I've got something I need to say, and you both need to hear it, so please sit down.
01:00When the original investigation into your mum's accident was happening, I was going through hell.
01:13It meant that I was never able to go through the actual case file myself.
01:23I couldn't bring myself to look at those photos or read the autopsy.
01:31And I'm ashamed to say that I just waited for the final report.
01:40But now I'm beginning to wonder if something was missed because of that.
01:44So I've decided to review it, but not because I'm siding with one of you over the other, or because I think that you're guilty.
01:57I realised that we're never going to be able to move on as a family if we don't get everything out into the open and work through what happened together.
02:15So if he doesn't find anything new, will you finally accept it?
02:44He will. The truth's going to come out.
02:46And when it does, mum's finally getting justice.
02:48The dad might come to the same conclusion as before.
02:50He won't.
02:51And what if he does?
02:51People don't just drive into trees.
02:53I asked for a copy of the triple zero call.
02:55Is there anything to be gained from it?
02:57The identity of the caller, for starters.
02:59I always just assumed it was a passing motorist.
03:01Could also be a witness to the accident.
03:04Triple zero, what service do you require?
03:06She's not breathing.
03:07Who's not breathing?
03:08It's my mum.
03:08I think for the house.
03:18The agent dropped them off.
03:20We can move in whenever we want.
03:22You guys want to help Jo and I christen the place later on?
03:24What are you thinking?
03:25Got an old barbecue I could fire up.
03:27He would really like it if we went.
03:29How about you stop going behind my back to my dad?
03:32I forgot that mum used to do these.
03:34I wish she was here.
03:35She is.
03:40You think I'm lying about what happened?
03:42I don't think that.
03:43Why else would you have the case file?
03:44I'm checking to see if the crash unit missed anything in the investigation.
03:49I thought we were finally going to move on.
03:51I'm sorry.
03:52Hey.
03:53Wow, the place looks amazing.
03:56Hey.
03:58Jo.
04:00Where are you going?
04:01Anywhere that's not here.
04:02Clearly he doesn't believe my version of events anymore.
04:05But he airs up until this point, so what's changed?
04:09What did you say to him?
04:11Whoa, he'll give me more information.
04:13Dad's reopened the investigation.
04:14What?
04:15As in the crash?
04:16Oh, don't play dumb.
04:17No, no, Jo.
04:18I had no idea that he was doing...
04:19What did you say to him?
04:20How did you talk him into it?
04:28Hey.
04:29What has he got there?
04:32It's a letter from Cohen.
04:33Really?
04:34Already?
04:35How's he settling in?
04:36Well, he didn't really say much about himself.
04:38He was more worried about me and how I'm going without him.
04:41That is so sweet.
04:42That is just like him.
04:43Yeah, isn't it?
04:43Hey, I've got to go to the diner and pick some things up.
04:46Why don't we walk and talk?
04:47Oh, no, no.
04:47I don't want to interrupt your day.
04:48Come with me.
04:49I want to hear all about it.
04:50I miss him.
04:52Yeah?
04:52Okay.
04:54Lacey told me about the accident, but I didn't realise things were so complicated for your family.
05:00It's taken its toll on all of us.
05:02I can imagine.
05:04I just want my girls to stop tearing each other apart.
05:09Sorry the Barbie got derailed.
05:11Oh.
05:11Like Justin said, there may be plenty more chances, right?
05:15Of course.
05:16Of course, absolutely.
05:17And, um, David, if you need anything, just let me know, okay?
05:22Thanks.
05:23See ya.
05:23See ya.
05:36What's this for?
05:43Stories like this spoke me.
05:47We've got to keep the ones that we love close.
05:49Are you back already?
06:10Oh, it's you.
06:11Sorry to disappoint.
06:12What are you doing here?
06:13I, um, I wanted to drop off your wedding invitation.
06:16Ooh.
06:17Yeah, we've put a plus one on there for you.
06:19Your call.
06:21I wouldn't miss it.
06:22Great.
06:23So, how's everything going with you?
06:25Is, um, is Archie with Tana?
06:27Uh, no, Archie is napping.
06:29Tana has gone camping with Marley and John.
06:31Ah, you're funny.
06:33No, I'm serious.
06:35Camping?
06:36Yeah.
06:36With John?
06:37Yeah.
06:38Oh.
06:38Men don't make sense sometimes.
06:40Yeah.
06:42Mm.
06:42Does that mean that the, uh, the dating apps aren't working out?
06:47No, I wouldn't say that.
06:49Really?
06:50Okay, so you're still window shopping or, yeah?
06:53I went on a coffee date.
06:56Go you.
06:57Yeah, he was nice, but there wasn't any chemistry.
07:00Well, you've got to kiss a few frogs before you find a prince, right?
07:03Yeah, that's true.
07:04In fact, I have another date tonight at Salt with a very cute single dad.
07:08Oh, I'm hoping that'll be a better match.
07:10Okay, well, I am working till eight, so I might see you there.
07:13Ooh, great.
07:13It'll be good to get a second opinion other than my sister.
07:18I love being with my dad.
07:20And my grandma is super kind and makes me laugh.
07:24Mm-hmm.
07:25And I really miss you, Mr. Stewart and Marilyn.
07:28Oh, sweet boy.
07:30Hmm.
07:30Sounds like he needs some sort of reassurance that he's made the right decision.
07:33Yeah.
07:34Gotta think of what to say to him to make him feel better.
07:37I'm sure you'll put his mind at ease.
07:39Oh, definitely.
07:41Hey, how was that barbecue?
07:44You really want to know?
07:46Yeah, I do.
07:48Well, it didn't happen in the end.
07:50Why?
07:51It's Joe stormed out of the house.
07:53Not sure why, but didn't look good.
07:56Wow.
07:57What?
07:58I just bumped into her.
07:59She said the dad reopened the investigation.
08:02To your mum's accident?
08:04She reckoned she found the case files at home.
08:08No, that can't be right.
08:09Well, I thought so too, but why else would he bring the file home?
08:13Well, that explains Joe's reaction before.
08:15Right?
08:16If this is true, this is massive.
08:19It would change everything.
08:24Hey Joe, just checking in.
08:26Call me if you need anything.
08:27Hey.
08:30Oh, sorry.
08:31No, you're fine.
08:32I thought I heard your voice.
08:34What happened to the trip?
08:35John pulled the plug early.
08:37That's a shame.
08:38Yeah, it is what it is.
08:39How's everything here?
08:42Uh, yeah, great.
08:43I've lined up Dana to babysit tonight, but seeing as you're here, you could do it.
08:48Yeah, happy to.
08:49Where you headed?
08:50Uh, out on a date.
08:52Right.
08:52That's okay, isn't it?
08:55Yeah, nah, sure.
08:56Cool.
08:56Cool.
08:57Thanks.
08:58So, same guy as yesterday?
09:01Uh, no.
09:02New one.
09:03Well, have fun.
09:18Hey.
09:19This is a surprise.
09:20Can I come in?
09:22Like you need to ask.
09:24Sorry, I skipped your housewarming.
09:26Or whatever it was.
09:28Forget it.
09:29I was just like, I couldn't.
09:30I understand.
09:32It was a bit of a bust anyway.
09:34Yeah, Theo told me.
09:36Right.
09:38Is that why you're here, or...?
09:40Is Joe around?
09:42I'm not sure where she is.
09:44Why?
09:45I saw her earlier.
09:47She told me that you've bought Mum's case file home.
09:50Did she now?
09:53So it's true.
09:56You're looking into the accident again.
09:58She's a little girl.
09:59I don't know.
10:00I don't know.
10:00I'm not sure where she is.
10:01I don't know.
10:01I don't know.
10:02I don't know.
