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.
00:42Yeah, 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.
00:54When the original investigation into your mum's accident was happening, I was going through hell.
01:13We all were.
01:16It 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.
02:48A 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.
03:09I 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?
03:25What 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, where 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?
04:11Well, I'm going to need 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, I had no idea that he was doing that.
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?
04:44Hey, 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
04:59family.
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, you're playing 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 theirs spoke of you.
05:47I've got to keep the ones that we love close.
06:07Are 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.
06:23Great.
06:23So, how's everything going with you?
06:25Is, um, is Archie with Tanya?
06:27Uh, no.
06:28Archie is napping.
06:29Tanya has gone camping with Molly 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?
06:47Oh, I wouldn't say that.
06:49Really?
06:50Okay, so you're still window shopping or are you?
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.
07:16I love being with my dad, and 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?
07:51Because Joe stormed out of the house.
07:53Not sure why, but didn't look good.
07:56Wow.
07:57What?
07:57I just bumped into her.
08:00She 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?
08:17If this is true, this is massive.
08:19It would change everything.
08:24Hey, Joe.
08:25Just checking in.
08:26Call me if you need anything.
08:29Hey.
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.
08:40How's everything here?
08:42Yeah, 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.
08:53That's okay, isn't it?
08:55Yeah, nah, sure.
08:56Cool.
08:57Cool.
08:57Thanks.
08:58So, same guy as yesterday?
09:01Uh, no.
09:02New one.
09:03Well, have fun.
09:06Hey, this 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 just, 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 Joel 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.
09:52Did she now?
09:53So it's true.
09:56You're looking into the accident again.
10:06You look great.
10:24Sorry?
10:25Oh, no, you just.
10:28It's a great outfit, eh, son?
10:29Oh, thank you.
10:32Bye, sweetheart.
10:33Bye.
10:34Mummy won't be later, promise.
10:36Cheers.
10:36Cheers.
10:37He had a big nap this afternoon, so he'll probably be up later than normal.
10:42All right.
10:43And there's heaps of milk in the fridge.
10:45Got it.
10:47Call me if he's any trouble.
10:49Or don't.
10:51Sure.
10:51Have a good...
10:54time.
10:54What changed?
11:01Nothing.
11:04But you always said that the case was closed.
11:08That you accepted Joe hadn't done anything wrong.
11:10I still believe that.
11:11So why look into it again?
11:13I have my reasons.
11:16And Joe wasn't supposed to see the file.
11:18You weren't meant to know about it either.
11:20So it was meant to be a secret.
11:24Why?
11:27What exactly is in that file, Dad?
11:29It's just a standard police investigation file.
11:32I want to see it.
11:32There's no way that's happening.
11:34But, Dad, I need...
11:35I don't want those images in your head.
11:44I knew it.
11:46Joe.
11:48Joe, wait.
11:50I worry if I mention Archie on my profile,
11:55that I'll put people off.
11:57Please.
11:57I've got two preteen daughters.
11:59I need more testosterone in my life.
12:01Wow.
12:01Someone's drowning in the gloss and netball.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Apparently, I'm going to miss this stage
12:07in the turn of the hormone-fueled demons
12:08in a couple of years,
12:09but I do not believe them.
12:13Would you like another drink?
12:16Sure.
12:17We'll be back in a sec.
12:18Pinch me.
12:24Oh, that good.
12:25Yeah.
12:26He's so nice.
12:27He's sweet.
12:28And he's funny.
12:30That's three good things.
12:31And he's cute.
12:32That's four.
12:32His photo did not do him justice.
12:34For the first time ever in the history of online dating.
12:36Can I please get two more glasses of white wine?
12:40Yep.
12:41Sounds like you're settling in.
12:43Yeah, well,
12:43Tana's back looking after Archie,
12:45so I'm in a rush to get home.
12:46Mm-hmm.
12:48All right.
12:49How do I look?
12:51You're perfect.
12:54Wish me luck.
12:55Babe, you don't need it.
12:55There you go.
13:03It's been a long time since we've done this.
13:18Way too long.
13:19Listen, um,
13:24I might just text Jo,
13:25let her know where we are,
13:26in case she changes her mind.
13:28Dad, take a hint.
13:29She's angry.
13:31Yeah, and I feel terrible about that.
13:33Makes you think she actually does have something to hide.
13:37Just for once,
13:38I wish you could put yourself in her shoes.
13:40And I wish that she would put herself in mine.
13:43I thought you didn't want to talk about this.
13:46I don't.
13:49Oh, yeah, darling.
13:51I thought you could do it with my knees.
13:54How's it going?
13:55You've been out here for a while.
13:57I don't know what to say.
13:59Just write it from the heart.
14:01What, and emotionally manipulate the poor boy?
14:03No, thank you.
14:03No, you want to tell him that you're missing him,
14:05but you don't want to make him feel bad.
14:07Yeah, but I don't want to lie
14:08and say that everything's fine either.
14:10It doesn't feel right.
14:11No, you don't want to upset him.
14:13Well, exactly.
14:15All right, yeah, good job, little man.
14:18Ooh.
14:18You are getting so big.
14:20You know what I'm saying?
14:22It's open.
14:24Really me?
14:26What are you doing?
14:26Hey, what's up?
14:27Hey.
14:28Just finished work,
14:29thought I'd pop around and see how you're doing.
14:32What is that?
14:33Well, um, you know,
14:35I just wanted to get the goss
14:36on your camping trip with John.
14:38Really?
14:39No, no, no, no.
14:40You're here looking after your baby
14:43while his mum is out with another guy
14:44and just thought I'd check in about it.
14:47Right.
14:48That.
14:51So, are you okay?
14:56Define okay.
14:57Oh, you're lucky.
15:02I don't think my ex can quite get his head around
15:05me being back on the dating horse.
15:07Well, it's an adjustment.
15:10I know the day that my girls find out
15:12all hell's going to break loose.
15:14You haven't told them?
15:17Well,
15:17only when
15:19I meet somebody really special.
15:25Well,
15:26it is a school night,
15:27so
15:28I guess we should wrap things up.
15:32Well, do you live close by?
15:33I'll walk you home.
15:35Oh, thank you.
15:36That's okay.
15:38Are you sure?
15:40Yeah, that's very kind.
15:41It's all right.
15:42I'll be fine.
15:43Okay.
15:44Well, um,
15:46good night.
15:47Blue skies
15:49out in the open
15:51One life's day
15:52in the moment
15:54We've got
15:55new possibilities
15:57So we'll, uh,
16:00talk soon.
16:01Yeah.
16:03It's time to find
16:05what's uncovered
16:06There's so much
16:08out there
16:09left to see
16:10Okay.
16:17Are you sitting down?
16:19He is the best?
16:21Yeah, I'm serious.
16:22It went really well.
16:24No, I'm not in the bathroom
16:26buying protection, Dana.
16:27Yuck!
16:30I can't wait to see him again.
16:32I really hope he feels
16:34the same way.
16:34Is it possible
16:47that you're a tiny bit
16:48jealous of Harper?
16:49Which would be
16:50totally normal,
16:51by the way,
16:51happens to the best of us.
16:53No, I'm not.
16:55No.
16:56I just feel a bit
16:57ambushed.
16:59That's all.
17:00Okay.
17:01Because
17:02a few weeks ago
17:03she was head over heels
17:04for you
17:04and now she's
17:05finally trying to move on.
17:07It's a
17:07it's a good thing,
17:09doesn't it?
17:09Yeah, and I get that.
17:10And I'm happy for her.
17:11You know, 100%.
17:12Then why is it
17:14getting to you so much?
17:18It's hard to accept that
17:19there could be another man
17:22in Archie's life soon.
17:25You're his dad.
17:26Nothing and nobody
17:27can change that.
17:29I know.
17:31What?
17:33I just can't help
17:34feeling that
17:35when Harper does
17:36find someone else
17:37I'm going to become
17:40less important.
17:44Look, I
17:45I don't have the
17:46easiest relationship
17:47with my dad
17:48but
17:48nobody can take
17:51his place.
17:52Like it or not.
17:56Thanks.
17:59Hey.
18:00Hey.
18:01Hi.
18:02So how did
18:03things end up?
18:05Oh, you know,
18:06it was fine.
18:07How's Archie?
18:08Good.
18:09I put him down
18:09a while ago.
18:10Thanks.
18:12I might grab a shower
18:13and go to bed
18:13and go to bed
18:13myself.
18:14Night.
18:15Night.
18:26How did you go?
18:30Well, I ended up
18:30writing two letters,
18:32of course.
18:32One saying
18:34everything I wanted
18:34to say to Cohen
18:35but I will never
18:36send it.
18:36You want to buy the
18:37other one?
18:37Well, this one's
18:39saying everything
18:39he needs to hear
18:40to reassure him
18:41and comfort him
18:42and to help him
18:43let go, actually.
18:44It must have been
18:45hard, darling.
18:46Yeah.
18:46Anyway, I'll see you
18:47at home, okay?
18:47Okay.
18:49Hey.
18:50Oh, hey.
18:52You came.
18:53Couldn't say no
18:54to dessert.
18:56So this is new
18:57and long overdue.
18:59I take it you were
19:00right about the case
19:01being reopened
19:02and it hasn't
19:03been reopened.
19:04I'm just checking
19:05to see if anything
19:05was missed the first
19:06time around.
19:08Right.
19:09And it wasn't
19:09meant to be
19:10common knowledge.
19:11He's refusing
19:12to talk about it.
19:13Hey, then I'll
19:14drop it then.
19:16At least someone
19:18is respecting my wishes.
19:19Dad, I've been
19:20begging you to do
19:21this for years.
19:22Now that you're
19:23finally doing it,
19:23you want me to just
19:24pretend like it's
19:25not happening?
19:25I don't want to.
19:26Why?
19:27So if you do
19:28find something,
19:28you can just sweep
19:29it back under the rug?
19:30I'd never do that.
19:31Weren't you?
19:34If you find out
19:35that Joe is to
19:35blame, promise me
19:38that you will take
19:38action.
19:50Glad you're still up.
19:53We missed you at
19:54dinner.
19:55Didn't feel right
19:56without you there.
19:59Seemed to be getting
20:00on fine without me
20:01before.
20:02I'm here for both
20:04of you.
20:09I'm sorry about
20:10today.
20:12I never meant for
20:13you to see that
20:14file.
20:15I knew it would
20:16upset you.
20:19All this time,
20:21I thought you
20:21believed me.
20:22I do.
20:23But you didn't
20:24think I was at
20:24fault.
20:28You're not.
20:30That's what this
20:31is about.
20:34Then what is it
20:35about?
20:37What else can it
20:38possibly mean except
20:39there's a part of you
20:39that thinks I might be
20:40guilty?
20:43But I killed
20:44Mum.
20:44I don't think that.
20:46I will never
20:47think that.
20:48I don't believe you.
20:58Otherwise you
20:58wouldn't be doing
20:59this.
20:59I don't believe you.
20:59Drew is smart and kind.
21:18He's a gentleman.
21:20He even knows what it's
21:21like to have kids.
21:22Ticks all the boxes.
21:24Okay.
21:24Okay.
21:24So what I'm hearing is
21:26that this guy's the
21:26perfect man and that I
21:27should dump cash
21:28immediately and steal
21:28him from you.
21:29Oh, please.
21:31You and cash are made
21:31for each other.
21:32We are.
