00:01Closer each day

00:04I'm in no way

00:08No way.

00:09The last person I was expecting to run into.

00:11If you've signed with the label,

00:12is that when you're going to be hanging around the bay?

00:14I'm hoping so, yeah.

00:15You still think about me?

00:17Rarely.

00:18It's not like you were the love of my life or anything.

00:20Eddie was my world for a long time.

00:23So why'd you guys split?

00:24I ended it after mum died.

00:26Just need to see if there's still something there.

00:29Theo Poulos was my nephew.

00:31Losing him tore a hole in my heart.

00:34And I've been losing my mind,

00:36trying to find someone else to blame.

00:39There is only one person to blame here.

00:42That's Craig Wendell.

00:50Brad are you.

00:51I've been invited to apply for a position at Doctors Without Borders.

00:54Seriously, Brad, that's, um, that's great news.

00:57You thought that there was going to be a shot for you two down the track.

01:00It's just never going to happen.

01:01Bree, I'm happy for you.

01:03Everything I said about you deserving this opportunity, I mean it.

01:06Okay.

01:07But please don't go.

01:09Mate, we didn't have a meeting today, did we?

01:25Yeah.

01:26Didn't you get my text?

01:27Oh, no, no.

01:28My bad.

01:29Let me get changed and we can get in.

01:30I'm messing with you.

01:32Well played, sir.

01:33I am here to meet someone, though.

01:35Oh, yeah?

01:36Not a rival label, I hope.

01:37Our friend, Jo.

01:38Apparently you used to live with her sister.

01:41Yeah, small world.

01:42What's the connection?

01:47Jo's my ex.

01:50Right.

01:51Leave it to it.

01:54Hey, sorry I'm late.

01:55I just had a crazy night shift at the hospital.

01:58A bunch of paperwork to fill out.

01:59All good.

02:00I'm just glad you agreed to meet.

02:02Even after a crazy night shift.

02:06You, of all people, know what this job means to me.

02:09Of course I do.

02:10I know I have no right asking you to stay.

02:11No, you don't.

02:12We haven't been together for months.

02:14It doesn't change the fact that you are the love of my life.

02:17I've always thought that there was still a chance for us.

02:22You haven't applied for the job yet, have you?

02:24No, no, you...

02:25See, what does that tell you?

02:26There must be a reason you're hesitating, otherwise you'd have done it by now.

02:34Hey...

02:36Everything okay?

02:39I was just leaving.

02:42At least I'll think about it.

02:46Yep.

02:47Thinking about what?

03:00Hearing your statement.

03:02Me making my own.

03:04I've had a good look at myself.

03:07And I realised how much you've been suffering.

03:16We lost Theo in such horrible circumstances.

03:23We did.

03:24I think I was just so caught up in my own pain that I blamed you and I had no right to do that.

03:32You were hurting.

03:33No, that's no excuse.

03:35I'm so sorry, Lacey.

03:38Craig Wendell is the only one responsible here.

03:42I just, I hope that you can forgive me for treating you so terribly.

03:46There's nothing to forgive.

03:48What do you mean?

03:50Because I blamed myself too.

03:55Don't.

03:56That night that I went up to Wendell, I'm gonna regret that for the rest of my life.

04:06Come here, don't worry.

04:07Come here.

04:13Working in the cardiothoracic unit can be pretty intense at times.

04:18Be honest, you love it.

04:20Am I that obvious?

04:22Yeah, you got that dorky smile going on when you get excited about stuff.

04:25Okay, so I'm a loser who likes their job, so what?

04:28Hey, no judgement.

04:29I'm the same with teaching.

04:31I mean, I know I'm not saving lives.

04:32No, I'm sure you were.

04:34I remember how much those kids loved you even when you were just doing placements at uni.

04:38Those kids were only a few years younger than me at the time.

04:41Yeah, didn't stop you from calling yourself Mr. Shepherd though.

04:44That was when I was living in that share house on York Street, right?

04:47You mean the Fungal Palace?

04:49The mould in that place was out of control.

04:51It smelled so bad.

04:52Yeah, why do you think I got you all those scented candles?

04:55And here I was thinking you were a hopeless romantic.

04:56So, your Dad said you haven't been seeing anyone?

05:08His ears must be burning.

05:10Oh yeah? What does the old man want?

05:16Hey, Dad.

05:18What's going on?

05:19I didn't want to worry you, but before I take this equipment back, I wanted to talk to you.

05:28About what?

05:31Doing a victim impact statement.

05:35Lacey and Leah have already recorded theirs.

05:40Now I know what a big deal it would be for you to do.

05:44And I would completely understand if you didn't want to do one.

05:47Of course I want to.

05:49I want to be part of sending Wendell away for a long time.

05:52Doing these statements can be really confronting.

05:56Lacey and Leah got through theirs, didn't they?

05:59Yeah, but-

06:00And I'm in a much better place at the moment.

06:02I haven't had a panic attack in a long time.

06:06Okay.

06:07Camera's set up.

06:09We can do it whenever you're ready.

06:13Just, uh, give me a second to get changed.

06:17I mean, it was hard enough making this decision for myself about whether I should go or not.

06:22And then Remy goes and puts that on me.

06:25Why?

06:27We're barely in each other's lives anymore.

06:29You know why, it's because he never stopped loving you.

06:31Oh yeah, he said that.

06:32When you try and take it from his best mate, it's true.

06:35But it doesn't matter how much we care about each other.

06:37I've tried, we've tried.

06:45But like, what would you do?

06:47No, no, no, no, I'm not going to answer that for you.

06:49It's your life, your decision, right?

06:52Yeah.

06:54I've actually really got to go though.

06:55Eddie and Remy meet me at salt.

06:57So, um, you going to be okay?

06:58Yeah, I'll be fine.

06:59Okay.

07:00Yeah, you go.

07:01All right.

07:02Before I do, can I just ask?

07:05Does Remy have a point?

07:08Why are you hesitating?

07:10Well, I'm told that customs will release the gear any day now.

07:23So once that's done, all we've got to do is set it up and we're good to go.

07:27Still hard to believe I'm doing this.

07:29You better believe it.

07:30It's equipment's top notch too.

07:31Can't wait to lay down my first track.

07:33Yeah, me too.

07:36There you are.

07:37Mate, um, Eddie, can you give us two sacks?

07:39Sure.

07:41I'll get us another round.

07:42Cheers, mate.

07:46What did Brie say?

07:47No, we're not doing this.

07:48Come on, mate.

07:49Just tell me what the vibe was.

07:51Work it out for yourself.

07:52You'd confuse the hell out of her.

07:55That was a lot to put on her.

07:57Yes, I know.

07:58But what am I supposed to do?

08:00I'm not letting her go without a fight.

08:05So, are there, uh, any specific guidelines?

08:08I should stick to.

08:11Just state your name first.

08:14And then talk about the accident.

08:18And how it's impacted you.

08:25Do you need to be here while I do this?

08:27No.

08:30But I do need to collate it all for the DPP.

08:33Then I think I can take it from here.

08:36I'll call you if I need you.

08:40Okay.

08:41Thanks.

08:53Whoa!

08:54Hey, sorry.

08:55Someone's in a hurry.

08:56Sorry, I'm a little bit all over the shop today.

08:58Anything I can help with?

09:00Oh, well, I've been offered a life-changing job opportunity, so there's that.

09:04Truth.

09:05Well, I'm happy for you.

09:06These things don't come along every day.

09:08That is very true.

09:10I'll tell you something else.

09:12A top-notch doc like you.

09:14They'll be lucky to have you.

09:16Thanks, Alf.

09:17That really means a lot.

09:25What's with the hold-up, mate?

09:27I got an email from one of my student's parents.

09:29The kid was having a panic about an assessment and I had to sort it out.

09:33Oh, well, not for sorting.

09:35Now, Sonny and I have been talking.

09:36We want to get you out there playing gigs in a few weeks' time.

09:39Cool.

09:40You got any venues in mind?

09:41No, just the spot.

09:42Yeah?

09:43Yeah, check it out.

09:45Yeah.

09:47A restaurant gig?

09:48Mate, we've had a full band in here playing over a hundred times.

09:50I mean, we launched Kirby in here.

09:52Yeah, yeah, and the vibe totally changes at night.

09:55Actually, it's very you.

09:56If you say so?

09:57Trust me, mate.

09:58I know the owner.

09:59She's going to love your sound.

10:00Yeah, going to love it.

10:01Well, looks like we have a gig to set it up.

10:04Boys, I've got to run.

10:06Let me guess.

10:07Bri?

10:08Yeah, Spree, she wants to talk.

10:09Rain check?

10:10No sweat.

10:11If my ex called, I'd come running.

10:12Awesome.

10:13See you guys.

10:16He filled me in earlier.

10:19You're two as bad as each other.

10:20Cheers to that.

10:22And to your first gig under the back on track.

10:29Why don't I grab her some coffee?

10:30Oh, thank you.

10:32Oh, this one here is one of my favourite photos of him.

10:35Hair.

10:36Love the hair.

10:37Yeah, I am.

10:38That's a turn up for the books.

10:41I know.

10:42It's just happened.

10:44Well, from where I'm sitting, I'd say things were definitely on the up.

10:47I hope so.

10:48I really do.

10:51Oh, Dad.

10:52Come sit.

10:53Hey, darling.

10:57Lacey and I had a talk and I apologise for the way I've treated her.

11:01I'm glad to hear it.

11:03And I'd like to extend the apology to you too.

11:07Thank you, Leah.

11:08I appreciate that.

11:12It's your home?

11:13Yeah.

11:14Maybe give us some space for now.

11:15Why?

11:16She's recording a victim impact statement.

11:18Oh, she's doing one too.

11:20She insisted.

11:21Okay.

11:22It's her decision.

11:23We've got to respect that.

11:24But do you think she's going to be alright?

11:25Getting out your version of events has obviously helped you two move on.

11:30I have faith it'll do the same for Jo.

11:51I.

11:53I.

11:54Thank you for meeting me.

11:57I know that you've got a lot going on with the label.

12:00Oh, it's nothing.

12:01I can't wait.

12:05Mummy, I will always love you, but...

12:09Go on.

12:10Aren't you?

12:11Yeah.

12:15You encouraged me to do this once, remember?

12:18And I might not get this opportunity again, and I need to make this decision for me.

12:25My life on my terms.

12:26No one else's.

12:28Yep.

12:29I get it.

12:32I'm happy for you.

12:33Really?

12:34Yes.

12:36Congratulations.

12:37No one deserves this more than you.

12:48I'd better get going.

12:49I've...

12:50Got a lot to do.

12:52Yeah, I bet.

12:54I'll see you before I go, okay?

12:56Yep.

12:57Let me know.

12:58Gotta tell me now.

13:00Gotta tell me now.

13:01Gotta tell me now.

13:03Need your honesty.

13:06Before you go.

13:08Go.

13:23Feels like it's all over and we can finally move on.

13:26Maybe.

13:28Especially now that Leigh's apologised to me.

13:30Seriously?

13:31I know.

13:32I can hardly believe it myself.

13:35Wow.

13:36That's huge, Lace.

13:38It doesn't bring Theo back, but...

13:41Definitely helps.

13:44You know what?

13:47I have a really good feeling about the future.

13:52What does that look?

13:54What look?

13:56That I've got a secret look?

13:59Okay.

14:05I went on a lunch date with Eddie.

14:08Like a real date?

14:09Well, we didn't clarify what it was, but it definitely felt like that.

14:14What about Tarnay?

14:16I kind of put that on pause.

14:18What?!

14:20Keep your voice down, I don't want Dad to know about this.

14:23Spill now.

14:24Now.

14:25Well, I...

14:26I just...

14:27I don't know.

14:28I want to see if there's still a spark there with Eddie.

14:31Is there?

14:33I don't know. Maybe.

14:34I love this for you!

14:35Oh my gosh, stop!

14:37No, it's me!

14:42It's not a big deal.

14:43At all.

14:44It's a big deal. What do you mean?

14:45Shh!

14:54My name is Josephine Langham.

15:06I was in the car crash caused by Craig Wendell.

15:10And my mum died in the sea beside me.

15:20Wendell just left her there to die.

15:23I have been haunted by that day for the past two years.

15:36And my dad has never been the same.

15:38Well, it might come as a bit of a shock to you, but teachers and I never quite clicked in school.

15:54Well, you never had me as a teacher, huh?

15:56Touche.

15:58Our list never got expelled like this guy.

16:02Right.

16:03Where we at?

16:04You gonna tell us what happened with Bri or what?

16:07No.

16:08I'm not pleased to know that she took the job.

16:11Mate, well, pleased for her, but I'm sorry.

16:15No, that's a good thing.

16:16You're just gonna do incredible things.

16:19Listen, how about I just head off?

16:20We can talk about other gig details.

16:22Stick around.

16:23Honestly, yeah, we're all here.

16:24We might as well get stuck in.

16:25You sure?

16:26100%.

16:27In fact, we should do the gig tonight.

16:30Yeah, we can get the support.

16:31Be honest, jump on the socials ASAP.

16:33Tonight?

16:35I don't know.

16:36Why not?

16:37I think Eddie needs a little more time than Matt.

16:38You've got all afternoon to prepare.

16:39The guy will be right.

16:40Maybe.

16:41Yeah?

16:42Alright, I'm gonna call Matt.

16:43Let's do it.

16:48Yeah, I've just sent through the recorded statements.

16:52No, we decided it was best for them not to attend.

16:57Yeah, exactly.

17:00Alright, thanks for everything.

17:01Bye.

17:05Hey.

17:06Justin.

17:07Come here.

17:08Sorry to rock up unannounced.

17:09No, it's okay.

17:11Just figured if Leah and Lacey had patched things up, this would be alright.

17:14Yeah, of course.

17:15Have a seat.

17:21What's up?

17:22It's about the victim impact statements.

17:25Right.

17:27If Leah's having second thoughts about submitting hers, I'm sorry, I've just sent them off.

17:33No, it's not that.

17:35I wanted to talk to you about yours.

17:38Oh, I haven't done one.

17:39Why is that?

17:45Look, I've got to get this equipment back to the station.

17:47You're always supporting your girls.

17:49Yeah.

17:51What about you?

17:52What about me?

17:53Oh, mate.

17:55You've been just as affected as anyone else.

17:57In some ways, more so.

18:00Maybe the magistrate needs to hear your story.

18:05Maybe you need to tell it.

18:08Maybe you need to tell it.

18:21Mate, we don't need big production value.

18:22We just need you and your guitar.

18:24You sure I can do this?

18:26You impress me in just a beer garden.

18:28Bring the same vibe to this, okay?

18:31Alright.

18:32Set list.

18:35But are you sure you want to do this tonight?

18:37Yeah, mate.

18:38I need to focus on something else.

18:39Okay, well, I get that.

18:40But this is about Eddie.

18:41And may I remind you that we haven't even got a confirmation from Mack it.

18:44Mate, I've left a message.

18:45She will be fine, okay?

18:46She's always talking about getting music back here.

18:49Are you building?

18:50What is it?

18:51The mixing desk.

18:52It's going to turn up this afternoon.

18:54Great.

18:55Can you go to the studio and sign for it?

18:56I'll stay here and sort things out.

18:58Sure.

18:59While you're there, can you grab an amp and a few leads?

19:01Amp, a few leads.

19:02Cool.

19:03Mate, are you sure tonight's actually going to go ahead?

19:06Yeah.

19:07Yeah.

19:08I've got a good feeling about it.

19:09It's all coming together.

19:10You're the boss.

19:14Ladies.

19:15Hey.

19:16Hey.

19:17Hey.

19:19Have you been here this whole time?

19:21Yeah.

19:22I've just realised that I actually need to do something.

19:27Really?

19:28I will catch you guys later, I guess.

19:33Ignore her.

19:34She's the same annoying little sister she always was.

19:37What were you going to say?

19:38Remy's organising for me to play a gig.

19:40Here.

19:41Tonight.

19:42Really?

19:43That's amazing.

19:44Will you come?

19:45Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.

19:46I was hoping you'd say that.

19:48My name is David Langham.

19:49Two years ago, the mother of my children and my beloved wife was killed by the reckless

20:03and criminal actions of Craig Wendell.

20:04I met Christina when I was 19 years old.

20:10We had two beautiful girls together.

20:11My daughters lost their mother that day.

20:28together. My daughters lost their mother that day, and I lost. I lost the love of my life.
