00:00What she means to this town, or to me.
00:24Hey, come on in.
00:26This is still your home.
00:28Wow.
00:31It must be very weird, seeing it so empty.
00:35Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
00:39The end of an era.
00:42Hey, I really hope you find somewhere to live soon.
00:46Oh, yeah, don't worry about me.
00:48I've got some irons in the fire.
00:51Your girls have been wonderful.
00:54They can't thank you enough.
00:55We're the ones that have to thank you.
01:00Everything that you've done for us, from believing us and letting us stay.
01:06You've given me the best home that I've ever known.
01:14Same here, love.
01:16Same here.
01:19Oh, more than 30 years.
01:23It's...
01:23So many memories.
01:29I'm gonna miss it.
01:40Monday, 7 o'clock.
01:42The event, 33 years in the making.
01:45I want to see old friends while I still remember them.
01:49So while I still got time and there's wonders left to find, I'll be somewhere out there over the horizon.
02:00We should be having a party.
02:01A real rip-snorting.
02:03I just knew that everything was gonna be alright, because you were by my side.
02:30Oh, well, I still got time, I'll pick flowers in my mind.
02:36Giving me the best home that I've ever known.
02:38I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising.
02:41I don't know how to say goodbye.
02:43While I got...
02:44Don't have the words.
02:47Say goodbye to Irene.
02:49The history-making event all of Australia will be watching.
02:53Monday, 7 o'clock.
03:08Can't deny it had a great view.
03:09That's all that it had.
03:11That place had not been painted in years.
03:13Also, the kitchen was just a throwback to the 70s.
03:15Well, we could deal with a retro vibe.
03:17Can you deal with carrying Archie and his pram up three flights of stairs every day?
03:22Hey, how's the house on going? Hello, son.
03:25Terrible.
03:26No, we'll find the right place.
03:27The main thing is that we stay together.
03:29Yeah, and that it has, you know, like a roof and some running water.
03:32Probably no cockroaches, but I don't want to be picky.
03:35Hi, Irene.
03:37Yeah, Irene.
03:39Yeah, we can come straight home.
03:41Okay.
03:42Bye.
03:44Irene wants to see us.
03:45It sounds urgent.
03:46Okay.
03:47Keep me posted, yeah?
03:48Yeah.
03:49Bye, son.
03:50Bye, Dad.
03:56I can't believe you're doing this, mate.
03:58It's not like I hurt anyone.
04:00That doesn't change the fact that you were over the legal limit.
04:03Remy, you're now going to undergo a regulated breath test to confirm that reading.
04:07What about my bike?
04:09What about your bike?
04:10You made me leave it on the side of the road.
04:12Someone's going to nick it.
04:14Hmm.
04:15Probably should have thought about that before you decided to drink and drive.
04:19I'm going to organise the test.
04:21You're loving this, aren't you?
04:23I'm really not.
04:30It's all well and good for her to say she wants to leave early, but she's just booked
04:33her flight.
04:34Yeah, I'm sure the travel agent could work something out.
04:36Will we still be able to have a farewell party?
04:39Oh, two, right.
04:40There's no way she's leaving town without a proper send off.
04:43Al's right.
04:44This is what Irene wants.
04:45We just need to pivot and make it work.
04:47Let me know what I can do to help her.
04:49Sorry.
04:50Thanks.
04:51We're going to need more hands on deck, though.
04:52Well, I'm sure Dana and Harper would like to put their hands up.
04:55What about you, Palmer?
04:56Well, I'm sorry if I'm not excited about Irene leaving sooner.
04:59John, none of us are.
05:01Mm-hmm.
05:02This was always happening.
05:03It's just happening faster.
05:04Are you still okay to write your farewell speech?
05:06Well, it's a bit of a short deadline, but I'll make sure it happens.
05:10All right.
05:11Well, I'll get on to the travel agent, see what I can do about this flight.
05:13Yeah, and I'd better make a start on that speech.
05:17John.
05:20You all right, mate?
05:22I just thought Irene and I would have more time together.
05:25Hey, I don't suppose you saw Remy on your drive-in?
05:30No, thankfully.
05:31Why, he took off on his bike.
05:34I saw how much he drank yesterday.
05:36I hope he was okay to drive.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Oh, thank God.
05:40He's with Cash.
05:42At least he didn't end up under a truck.
05:44Yeah, thank goodness.
05:46The second test has confirmed a blood alcohol reading of 0.07.
06:04What happens now?
06:05Now you'll be charged with low range drink driving.
06:07Charged?
06:08Mate, can't you just let this slide?
06:10Mm-hmm.
06:11No.
06:12I get that I've done the wrong thing, okay?
06:16But I'm only just over.
06:18It's my first offence.
06:20Let me just pay a fine and we can leave it at that.
06:22That's not how this works.
06:23No, seriously.
06:24How much is it?
06:25I'll fix it up now.
06:26Can't pay your way out of this one, Remy.
06:27You're going to have to deal with the consequences.
06:29What happened to police discretion?
06:31I've already used police discretion.
06:33I could have charged you for assaulting a police officer
06:35and I could have charged you for break and enter.
06:37Yeah, well, you took my bike, Kees.
06:39This is why.
06:40This is why, right now, you should have left the keys where they were.
06:44You're being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
06:48There'll be a fine and your license has been suspended.
06:51Suspended?
06:52Yes, you're disqualified from driving for three months.
06:54If you wish to appeal this decision, you have 28 days to lodge an application.
06:58I'll be appealing.
06:59Okay, then you need to pay the court fees and you can't drive until a magistrate has heard your case.
07:02That is the only way that this suspension can be overturned.
07:04When exactly are you leaving?
07:09Well, I haven't locked that down yet, but as soon as I can.
07:15Please don't worry about me.
07:17I'll either be with family or friends or on an organised tour with a health worker.
07:23It sounds like you've thought of everything.
07:25Well, I hope so.
07:28I mean, I need to do this while I've still got my wits about me and while I can still enjoy it.
07:34Of course you do.
07:35Absolutely.
07:36We'll just speed up that house search.
07:40Oh, my God, Father, I completely forgot to tell you.
07:44I was talking to the solicitor and as a condition of the settlement,
07:48David can't move in here until you guys have found somewhere else to live.
07:53You didn't have to do that.
07:54Oh, but we're very appreciative.
07:56Well, I didn't want to leave you high and dry again.
07:59I've mucked you around enough as it is.
08:01No, you haven't.
08:02We completely understand.
08:03You've done so much for us.
08:05Oh, you're such good girls.
08:08Anyway, better get cracking on the packing.
08:12I, uh, I'm gonna check on Archie.
08:22This is happening really fast.
08:24I know.
08:26What are we gonna do if we can't find a place?
08:29Well, I mean, Irene did just say that we could stay here for a little bit.
08:32Yeah, but she needs the settlement for her trip and David needs somewhere to live.
08:36I know.
08:37We're just gonna ramp up our search.
08:39That's all.
08:47Friendly heads up, Remy.
08:48Second offences do not go down well in court,
08:50so if you are tempted to drive on your suspended licence,
08:52you'll be facing further charges and possibly imprisonment.
08:54Yes, I get it.
08:56Where do I sign so I can get out of here?
08:58How do I get my bike back?
09:03You need to make arrangements to have someone pick it up.
09:05They go now then?
09:06You idiot.
09:08Do you know how worried I've been?
09:10What happened to my right to privacy?
09:11Don't push her.
09:12He called me because you need someone to drive you home.
09:15You should be grateful they even came.
09:16Do you wanna make yourself useful?
09:18Get old mate to drop the DUI charge.
09:20Can you hear yourself?
09:22Go wait in the van.
09:23I'm not waiting in the van.
09:24Go.
09:28Go.
09:33He's not even sorry, is he?
09:45Ah, thank you.
09:47Hey.
09:48Hey.
09:49You're well as grown up.
09:50Yeah.
09:51He's doing something new every time.
09:53Feels like if I blink, he'll be starting school soon.
09:58I just want us to find a place before Irene leaves so she can get on the plane and not
10:03worry about us.
10:04Well then we're gonna have to lower our expectations.
10:06I know.
10:07Guess it's the 70s apartment for us.
10:10It's been laced, I checked.
10:12You're kidding.
10:13That place was a hole.
10:14So what's the plan?
10:15Well we don't have one.
10:16I mean now Irene's leaving earlier, I guess we're just gonna live on the streets.
10:20No, we're not.
10:21It's under control.
10:22But that's not what you said before.
10:23So, uh, Marley was right.
10:24Aren't you boys growing up pretty fast?
10:25He'll be on solid soon, right?
10:26Yeah, I'm gonna talk to the early childhood nurse about it next week.
10:27Oh cool.
10:28Give you some kuma to soup into you, eh son?
10:29Make you big and strong.
10:30Help you sleep too.
10:31Really?
10:32Kuma soup helps baby sleep.
10:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:34Works like a charm.
10:35Well if you have any other hot parenting tips, please let me know.
10:37You didn't even try to talk cash arena.
10:38Why would I?
10:39Oh Eden, I went for a ride to blast some steam.
10:40I didn't hurt anything.
10:41You were drink driving.
10:42I had had one drink since last night.
10:43Yeah, and last night you were wasted or were you too drunk to remember that?
10:44I remember.
10:45I was like, okay.
10:46I'm not a pain, I'm not a pain.
10:47I'm a pain, I'm a pain.
10:48I'm a pain.
10:49I'm a pain.
10:50I'm a pain.
10:51I'm a pain.
10:52I'm a pain.
10:53I'm a pain.
10:54I'm a pain.
10:55I'm a pain.
10:56I'm a pain.
10:57I'm a pain.
10:58I'm a pain.
10:59I'm a pain.
11:00I'm a pain.
11:01I'm a pain.
11:02You're a pain.
11:07You could have killed yourself today who cares
11:11What has happened to you?
11:13If you're looking for alcohol, you can forget it. There isn't any
11:16Your boyfriend already took my license. Why can't I have a drink? You can't keep going on like this
11:21Eden, it's not like I can do anything to fix it. Yeah, well you can stop making it worse
11:24Right, um love all the stuff at that end of the table can go in the charity box
11:36I'm gonna hang on to the photos. No worries at all
11:40Hey, what are you gonna do with your couch and the dining table? Well all the kitchen stuff and the furniture is staying down
11:46I included it in the sale. Well that was clever
11:49Well at the end of the day, it's it's just stuff isn't it? I mean
11:53It's the personal things I want to keep. Yeah, and all your personal things. We'll just go and put the storage in it for you
12:00And in the meantime, it'll stay there nice and safe until you're ready to pick it up
12:03Ah Palmer, that'll be right. Wait till all the heavy lifting's done and then you turn up. There's still a lot to do
12:10Hey girl, how did you go with the travel agent?
12:13Good. There are a couple of options for you to fly out if you want to keep the guided tours that you picked
12:19So what are they?
12:21Three weeks or three days
12:26No, you'd want the flight in three weeks of course
12:29Yeah, but love, you know, I don't want to put the trip off if I can avoid it
12:36So, um, I need one day to sort this out. I need one day to see Finn and the grandkids so um
12:45Three days
12:47Okay, um, three days it is
12:52Right
12:57Well, I guess that means we should start packing your suitcase
13:01Sorry, Tom
13:06So Remy did this. Yeah, well, like I said, you don't have to worry about it. I'm dealing with it. Oh, you better be
13:20Who trashes a friend's house?
13:22He's not making great decisions right now, okay?
13:24Well with all of this going on it's probably a good thing Harper turned down living here
13:27Yeah, I think that's for the best in more ways than one
13:30Not if they end up homeless
13:34Sorry, I've got to take this
13:36Ian, hey, what's going on?
13:38I have tried tough love being nice Remy won't listen
13:42You want me to come over? That's only gonna make things worse
13:45Hang on
13:47Where you going?
13:49Nowhere
13:51Mate, you are a lifesaver
13:56I'm going to go
13:57Take that for your troubles
13:58Oh, thanks, man
13:59Cheers
14:00Cheers, have a good one
14:01You too
14:04How's this going to make things better?
14:07There is no making this better, Ian
14:10I just want to stay comfortably numb
14:21What about the wall behind the couch?
14:26I mean, the landlord just painted over the mould
14:28Yeah, it's so gross, as if we wouldn't see that
14:30You know what's sad is that someone would be desperate enough to pay top dollar for such luxury
14:35Yeah, I don't care how desperate I get
14:36I'll sleep in the car before I make Archie live in a mould infested place like that
14:42Need to split up?
14:43What? No, it wouldn't be forever, you know
14:45It would be until we found somewhere that we like
14:47That is a terrible idea because then we would have to find two places to live in
14:51Instead of one
14:52There aren't any rentals available right now
14:54Everything that fits us isn't suitable for a rat
14:56Let alone your cute son here
14:58Sounds like it's pretty tough to find a place at the moment
15:00Yes, that is correct, Hannah
15:03Which is why I think that you should ask Harper to move in again
15:06What are you doing?
15:07I'm making sure that you and your son don't end up homeless
15:09All right, so I'm going to leave now
15:11You two chat
15:21A couple more loads and I think that should do it
15:33John, I know this is tough but you've barely said a word all morning
15:36Well, how would you feel if your best mate was heading off overseas alone with a degenerative illness?
15:42Irene is going to have a ton of support, I don't think you need to worry about that
15:46She's my best mate
15:48Of course, I'm going to worry
15:49I guess we're gonna stay this way
15:55And I hope you care
16:02Love, the plane doesn't get in till late so I'll grab a taxi
16:06She is not grabbing a taxi, BJ
16:08Oh my god
16:10She's the other side of the world, she's still bossing you around
16:14All right, well, looks like you and your mum have already made up my mind for me
16:17So I'll see you and Luke at the airport in Cyprus in a few days
16:23Bye, BJ
16:24Love you
16:24Bye, BJ
16:25She loves you
16:27Bye
16:29Oh my godfather, I can't believe that Luke is eight
16:34Time goes last
16:35Oh, I can't wait to see her and make some wonderful memories together while we can
16:42Well, I can
16:43Well, some of us here would like to make some nice memories too
16:46We still have some time
16:48Do we have everything?
16:49Almost
16:50One more trip and then on to the fun stuff, Irene's party
16:53Woohoo
16:54Frankly, I don't see what there is to celebrate
16:56Oh, I'll see you later
16:57Go on
17:01Hey, love
17:02Hey, wow
17:04It's getting real now
17:05Yeah, sure is, love
17:08So, um, how'd you go with the house hunting? Any nibbles?
17:11Yeah, a couple of bites
17:12That's great
17:13Honestly, I don't know what's gotten into her
17:17Just forget everything she said
17:18I don't think I can
17:20She said you're going to be homeless in a couple of days
17:22Well, technically that's not true
17:24Because Irene bought us some time as a condition of the settlement
17:26Okay, Harper, Harper, can you just listen to me please?
17:28Look, I know us living together isn't ideal
17:31But surely it's better than the alternative, right?
17:35We will find something
17:36Yeah, but will you though? I mean, you've been looking for ages
17:38Look, you and Archie need a place to stay
17:42I've got a spare room at my place
17:45What do you say?
17:47If we did move in, it would only be temporary
17:50Yeah, of course
17:51You know, you stay as long or as little as you need
17:54Whatever works for you
17:54Okay
18:01Okay
18:02Okay, we'll move in
18:04Great
18:06Great, um
18:07I'll drop this equipment off and then we'll go get your stuff, yeah?
18:10Okay
18:16Okay, how about we swap out the tequila for a coffee, hmm?
18:23That's how it's going to be again today, isn't it?
18:26Morning
18:28How are you this morning?
18:34Okay, well, I guess that says it all
18:36You all right?
18:41My best friend is self-destructing in front of me and there is nothing I can do
18:46I know that he's hurting and and I really want to help him but I just
18:49Hey, hey, you can't help him, you can't help him when he's like this
18:52Yeah
18:56Actually, listen
18:58How would you feel about going for a drive and checking out some wedding venues?
19:01I just got a phone call from Harper and it turns out that she is moving in after all
19:04And I wouldn't mind giving her and Tanya a little bit of space
19:07That sounds lovely but I
19:09I can't leave Remy like this
19:11Remy is a grown man
19:13It's about time he started taking some responsibility for himself
19:16Yeah, that is great in theory
19:18Okay, let's just give him what he wants then
19:20Let's leave him alone
19:22You never know, he might surprise us, he might pull himself together
19:28You know what?
19:31Let's go plan our wedding
19:32Yeah
19:40Okay
19:44You know, you don't have to do that, I can do it myself
19:46Oh, it's all good, half the stuff's Archie's anyway
19:50Now look
19:52Your sister's happy you're moving in
19:56Well, my sister needs to focus on her own life
19:59Oh look, Archie looks happy too, hey
20:02Here, let me take him so you can unpack
20:05Come here, boy
20:05Where?
20:06I mean, which room?
20:07Oh yeah, just the spare one
20:10Yeah, yeah, of course
20:12Hey, it's gonna be great
20:14Having both mum and dad under the same roof to run around after you
20:17Yeah, yeah
20:20Sorry
20:21Hey, you wanna dance?
20:23Archie, archie, archie, archie, archie, archie
20:26Oh, hello.
20:44Sorry, um, next week's patrol roster.
20:48It's not done.
20:50Okay.
20:52How are you doing?
20:53I'm supposed to be writing Irene's farewell speech, but I don't want to say farewell.
20:59I know.
21:00How far you got?
21:03Oh.
21:05Her party's tomorrow.
21:06Irene is leaving tomorrow.
21:09Do you think it would help to have a couple of people say some words about her, you know?
21:14I could start.
21:15There aren't enough words to describe how much...
