00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:05Love, love, love it.
00:09Sorry I missed that. Tell us how you really feel.
00:11How do you feel?
00:12Sorry to interrupt.
00:13I've got a question if you have a second.
00:14Yeah, have a game around. I'll come find you.
00:17What the hell are you doing?
00:18I'm so sorry.
00:20Careful, he's a bit fussy today.
00:22Oh my God.
00:23Hi.
00:24Really good, isn't it?
00:24Yeah.
00:25Oh, I'm a nurse. I've had plenty of fussy babies.
00:28She was just helping me out.
00:29I was trying to read the brochure for Irene's house.
00:30Why don't you tell me she was selling up, by the way?
00:32Where are you guys going to live now?
00:33I will deal with it, okay? It's none of your business.
00:35If it involves my son, then yes, Harper, it is my business.
00:37You see, there are some things you should know about him
00:39if you want to have a good relationship with him.
00:41All right.
00:42He loves his mum, even though she doesn't want him.
00:45He loves her more than anything in the world.
00:46Cowan, this is Adrian. He's your father.
00:49Hey, Cowan.
00:51Hi.
00:52You want to pass that around a bit?
00:55I think Dad's having fun, don't you?
00:56I reckon he's having the time of his life, mate.
00:59Five minutes and he's already calling him dead.
01:08Oh.
01:09Sorry.
01:10It's all right.
01:12I was kind of hoping the coast would be clear by now.
01:15About before, I didn't realise Harper was here.
01:17Yeah, that's the moment that definitely happened.
01:23So did you talk to her?
01:24I take it she didn't love me holding Archie.
01:27She's fine.
01:28It's not the bye-bye I got.
01:30Okay, she wasn't fine, but it's not like we were doing anything wrong.
01:33I didn't mention this, but when I was at the house inspection at Irene's,
01:37Harper kind of showed up.
01:39And?
01:41She didn't look too happy to find me in her room, looking at her stuff.
01:44Right.
01:46I see how that might be.
01:47Incredibly awkward?
01:48Yeah.
01:49Don't stress about it, okay?
01:50It's too late for that.
01:52I'd obviously rather not be on your ex's bad side.
01:54You're not.
01:55Trust me, Harper has other things to worry about right now.
01:57Like what?
01:58Like where she's going to live?
02:00Well, of course.
02:01It's great.
02:02Seriously, Harper doesn't need to be an issue for you, okay?
02:05Okay.
02:09It's okay, little dude.
02:11It's okay.
02:11I'm going to miss this place, too.
02:15Yeah.
02:23You'll find somewhere nice for us to live.
02:26I don't know how yet, but I'm going to like someone else.
02:34Pretty good with that footy.
02:36Yeah, thanks.
02:36My friend cashed on me.
02:37Is he cop?
02:38Well, maybe we can all play a game together sometime.
02:40Really?
02:40Yeah, as long as you promise to go easy on me.
02:42Yeah, not a chance.
02:44You want to play some pool?
02:45Yeah, sure.
02:49Ruth?
02:51Who?
02:51You were away with the pixies.
02:54Oh, yeah.
02:55I was just thinking how long it will take before Adrian asks to take Cohen with him.
03:01Because he said that's what he wants?
03:03No.
03:03Well, don't go getting ahead of yourself.
03:06I have to prepare myself, don't I?
03:09Whichever way it goes, it's not going to happen overnight.
03:11Well, everything else is happening pretty fast.
03:13I mean, this morning this man was a complete stranger and now?
03:17He's Cohen's dad.
03:22Sorry.
03:23Sorry.
03:24Sorry to interrupt, but we've got to go.
03:25Already?
03:26We've got to get you fed, mate.
03:28If it's okay, can Dad come to dinner?
03:31Oh, I'm sure you all have plans.
03:33Well, nothing that can't include you.
03:36Yeah, no, absolutely.
03:37I mean, you're more than welcome.
03:40Well, I guess I'm coming to dinner.
03:41Awesome.
03:42So, Adrian really is the father?
03:51DNA doesn't lie.
03:53Good for Cohen.
03:54How's Rude taking the news?
03:56Well, it's definitely affected her.
03:59I'll check in on her later.
04:00Sure, she'll appreciate that.
04:02Yeah, call me if you need anything.
04:03All right.
04:04Finally, I'm starving.
04:06Oh, well, you'll have to keep starving because this is for cash.
04:09Right.
04:10Enjoy.
04:12Oi, what's with the food delivery?
04:14Oh, I thought you might be hungry.
04:15Really?
04:15Yeah.
04:17It's not normally your favourite place to hang out.
04:19Oh, maybe not, but I had some free time.
04:20I just thought you'd spend it here.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Right.
04:26So, I heard you like fantasy books.
04:30I'm guessing you told him that.
04:31Is that okay?
04:32Of course it is.
04:33There's, um, there's something I want to show you, actually.
04:37Do you know who that is?
04:39Is that me?
04:40Mm-hmm.
04:42I was so little.
04:43You still are.
04:45Yeah, check it out.
04:47Oh, my gosh, it's such a beautiful photo.
04:49Yeah, it is.
04:51Um, so I was wondering, if you're free tomorrow, if we could maybe go to the beach?
04:55Um, depends if that's all right with everyone.
04:57Hi.
04:58Yeah.
04:58Good evening.
04:59How's it going, mate?
05:00Yeah, good.
05:01We're going to the beach tomorrow.
05:02How are you now?
05:03Is that all right?
05:04Of course it is.
05:05I'm heading to the bar.
05:08Next round's on me.
05:09I'll give you a hand.
05:12Hey, mate, can I get another round for the table in the middle and a beer for me?
05:16Sure.
05:16Thanks.
05:18How's it all going?
05:20Well, I wanted to hate him.
05:21But he's actually a really nice guy.
05:24You know, when it comes to kids in care, this is the kind of result we all hope for.
05:34Look, Tony, I appreciate all the food.
05:37But I know you're buttering me up for something, so why don't you just come out with it?
05:40Okay.
05:41How would you feel if Harper and Archie moved in with us?
05:49I'd feel confused.
05:51Well, Irene's selling the house.
05:52They need somewhere to stay.
05:55Well, you know I don't have a problem with Harper.
05:57But in what world would it be a good idea for her to move in with you?
06:00The one where Archie's my son.
06:02She's still in love with you.
06:03It's not about that.
06:04Yes, it is.
06:06How is Harper going to feel seeing you and Joe snuggling up on the couch?
06:09We're not even together.
06:10Yet.
06:10I'm worried about my kid.
06:12I don't think it's a good idea for you to move your ex-fiancé into your house.
06:16Hey.
06:22Hey.
06:23Come in.
06:24Everything okay?
06:25Yeah.
06:25Everything's fine.
06:26What's this?
06:27Oh, the first stages of Irene's trip around the world.
06:30She's going to travel once the house is sold.
06:32Ah.
06:33It's all happening.
06:34Yeah.
06:35She moves fast.
06:37Anyway, what's going on?
06:38I have a proposition for you.
06:40Okay.
06:41Move in with me.
06:42What?
06:43You and Archie can come stay with me until you find something more permanent.
06:46You serious?
06:47This way you don't have to take the first thing that's available.
06:49You can wait for something perfect.
06:51You don't have to do that.
06:52Diana and I can figure it out.
06:54Let me do this for you.
06:55Just so I know that you and Archie are safe.
06:59What do you think?
07:00I think it's insane.
07:01But I also think it's been a really long time since I've had to worry about where I'm going to live.
07:10I know.
07:13You really think this could work?
07:15Absolutely.
07:29What time is Dad meeting us?
07:31Oh, he should be here any minute.
07:33Yeah, great.
07:39It's just a day at the beach with his dad.
07:42There's nothing to be nervous about.
07:43No, I'm not.
07:44I'm not nervous about that.
07:45I am.
07:45I want to have a talk with Adrian.
07:47About what?
07:49About what his intentions are.
07:51You know, Dad, for all we know, he's not in a position to take Cohen full-time.
07:55So I want to tell him that I'm open to sharing custody.
07:59I told you not to go get me ahead of yourself.
08:00I'm not getting ahead of myself.
08:02The ball's in his court.
08:03I think it would be helpful for him to know where I stand.
08:06It's way too early to be having these sorts of conversations, true?
08:10I mean, just hold your horses, sit back and take each day as it comes.
08:13Yeah, okay.
08:16All that matters is doing the right thing by the boy.
08:20Dad!
08:21Hey, mate.
08:22You keen for a kick?
08:23Yeah.
08:26Hey.
08:32Hey.
08:33Hey.
08:34What's up?
08:34You need something?
08:35I'm just here to follow up with David about the Cohen situation.
08:38All right, Sarge's not in yet, but from what I hear, it's going well.
08:40Hmm.
08:41Anyway, my shift is over.
08:43Actually, there is something that I wanted to ask you.
08:46Tana's offered for Archie and me to move in with you guys.
08:49Has he?
08:50He didn't tell you?
08:52No, he mentioned that he was thinking about it.
08:54It's crazy, right?
08:55Yeah, it's something.
08:57So, is it something you would be cool with?
08:59I know having a baby in the house isn't ideal.
09:02Um, I think...
09:04I think that you should do whatever's best for your son.
09:08I'll admit it's a relief to have the option.
09:10I was dreading the idea of taking a newborn to a bunch of rental inspections.
09:13Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare.
09:20Oi, idiot.
09:22Seriously?
09:24Did you listen to a single thing I said yesterday?
09:26I did.
09:27I just ignored it.
09:28Then why bother asking my opinion at all?
09:30I get it.
09:31This whole thing could be a disaster.
09:33But I decided it was worth the risk to have my son living with me.
09:36So that's what this is really about?
09:38I want to help Papa.
09:39I do.
09:40And?
09:42And?
09:43Also, I want to see my boy take his first steps.
09:45Is that so bad?
09:46I figured this way maybe I won't miss out on so much.
09:50You're going to have to play this one very carefully.
09:52I know.
09:53Okay?
09:54Because it's going to be real easy for one of the women in your life to end up hurt here.
09:58I'll cross that bridge if it comes to it.
10:00I've got a boot camp to run.
10:01Right, so what did you think about the inspection yesterday?
10:08Oh, you're across a lot.
10:10Well, Irene was very excited to see you and your dad considering the place.
10:13Well, yeah.
10:14The house is amazing.
10:15And I think Dad loved it too.
10:17Well, why wouldn't he?
10:18It's a beautiful spot.
10:19So you guys would know Irene's housemates then?
10:22Uh, yeah.
10:23Of course.
10:23Why?
10:23I ran into one of them when I was at the inspection.
10:26Oh, um, Dana or Harper?
10:29Harper.
10:29Is she always intense?
10:31I mean.
10:32What do you mean?
10:33Well, she just seems really stressed.
10:35Well, being a single mum is pretty harsh.
10:38Of course.
10:39Yeah.
10:39What are we talking about?
10:40Oh, the house hunt and why you're dragging your feet.
10:43What do you mean?
10:43We looked at a place yesterday.
10:44And you still haven't put an offer in yet.
10:46I think someone has her heart set on Irene's house.
10:49They're giving information to the homeowner's friends.
10:52Not exactly the best negotiation tactic.
10:54Well, a house like that is not going to stay on the market for long.
10:56If we want it, we're going to have to move fast.
10:57It's a big decision.
10:58Oh, you always do this.
11:00You drag your feet until the good thing slips through your fingers.
11:01That's not true.
11:03I'll handle it.
11:03Will you?
11:04Yes.
11:05Leave me alone.
11:06Okay.
11:06Bye.
11:07Bye.
11:09Bye.
11:13Bye.
11:38Bye.
11:39Bye.
11:39Bye.
11:39Bye.
11:39You know the drill.
11:40Warming up, stretching.
11:41Let's go.
11:42Make sure to swing your shoulders too.
11:44We're going to be doing a lot of upper body work today.
11:55Okay.
11:56Partnering up.
11:57Grab me some pads and some boxing gloves.
11:59We're going to start with some boxing drills.
12:08Bye.
12:09We're going to start with one minute of straight punches, okay?
12:16Yep.
12:17You ready?
12:18Ready?
12:19Yep.
12:20Let's go.
12:21Let's do it.
12:31Sorry.
12:33What's wrong?
12:33I'm actually just not feeling that well.
12:35I'm going to go.
12:35I'm going to go.
12:35I'm going to go.
12:35I'm going to go.
12:38I'm going to go.
12:39Here we go.
12:40Here we go.
12:40Here we go.
12:52One chocolate milkshake.
12:53Thank you very much.
12:54What do we say, mate?
12:55You're welcome.
12:56Now enjoy the sugar hit.
12:57We'll pray for that later.
12:58Oh, I will.
12:59Healthy juices from now on.
13:00Scouts on her.
13:01You were a scout.
13:02No, sorry.
13:03It's just a saying.
13:04Hey, um, can you wait here for a minute?
13:07No, no, I just want to have a quick word with Rue and David.
13:08Yeah, sure.
13:11Um, listen, I was wondering if I could take Cohen for a walk, just the two of us.
13:18I think we need some time to talk.
13:20Yeah, that should be fine.
13:21Our tops.
13:22We won't go far.
13:23Sure, no problem.
13:24Thanks.
13:26Hey, Cohen, do you want to head down to the beach?
13:29Yeah, sure.
13:30Why don't you leave that here?
13:31We'll just, we'll walk.
13:32Yeah, I'll take it.
13:33Have fun.
13:37Thanks for the help.
13:46No worries.
13:50So, when do you want to move out of Irene's?
13:54Do you want to wait till the place is sold or move earlier?
14:00What is it?
14:01Ah, I can't move in with you.
14:04You said you wanted to do that.
14:06Yeah, I know, but I'm going to find a place with Dana.
14:09We're kind of a package deal anyway, I'm sorry.
14:11Papa, you don't have to do this.
14:13No, I do.
14:14And we both know why.
14:15Hey.
14:31Hey.
14:32Hey.
14:33You can stop worrying.
14:34Not for a Nazi aren't moving in.
14:36Why not?
14:37She changed her mind.
14:39Right.
14:40You must be disappointed.
14:40I am.
14:42Still, I can't help but think this is for the best.
14:45You would say.
14:45Oh, come on.
14:46You know I'm right.
14:47It keeps things simple and it leaves life open for new possibilities.
14:50Hey.
15:01Hey.
15:02I thought you were sick.
15:04I've bounced back.
15:06Hey, you don't get to judge me.
15:08You're just my trainer.
15:09Really?
15:09Because it looks like you're just sitting up here alone, hiding.
15:12Actually, I'm very busy.
15:13I have an important call to me.
15:14What's that for?
15:15I'm making an offer on a house.
15:19Hi, Rennie.
15:20Unless you have a problem with that?
15:22No.
15:23No, I think it's great.
15:25Harper and Archie will land on their feet.
15:26I'll make sure of it.
15:28Okay.
15:29Well, wish me luck.
15:37I'll take a look at that.
15:38Oh, Christ.
15:41So, what's your favourite footy scene?
15:44As in soccer?
15:45As in real footy.
15:46Probably the Raiders.
15:47You?
15:49I don't know yet, but the Raiders do sound pretty cool.
15:53So, do you have anything else you'd like to ask?
15:55Apart from my favourite footy team?
15:59How long were you and Mum together?
16:03Long enough to fall in love.
16:05I know you.
16:08I thought you were the best thing that ever happened to us.
16:12Then why'd you leave?
16:14I didn't want to.
16:16Trust me.
16:16But things got tough with your mum.
16:20You weren't getting on.
16:21And she told me she wanted me to go.
16:24You could have stayed.
16:25You could have said no.
16:25No.
16:26I couldn't.
16:27Look.
16:27I'm sorry we lost so much time together.
16:32Hey, it wasn't what I wanted.
16:32It was your mother's choice.
16:33No, I don't believe you.
16:35She told me I wasn't your father.
16:36She lied to me.
16:37My mum is not a liar.
16:39Sorry.
16:40I don't mean to upset you.
16:43Hey, look.
16:43Maybe we can start over.
16:44Yeah?
16:45Talk about you.
16:47I don't want to talk anymore.
16:48I don't want to talk anymore.
17:02I don't want to talk anymore.
17:03Jo.
17:05Guess what I did this morning.
17:07What?
17:07Made an offer on Irene's house.
17:09And do you know what happened next?
17:10Pretty sure I did.
17:11Yeah.
17:11Someone else already made a better one.
17:13Yeah.
17:13Look, hang on a second.
17:14Let's continue this conversation in private.
17:16No, Dad.
17:17This is what happens when you drag your feet.
17:18Someone else comes and snatches the perfect house out from underneath you.
17:21I know mum was a spontaneous one, but you need to start living life again or you're going
17:26to end up a sad, lonely, homeless old man.
17:29Is that right?
17:30Yes.
17:30The other offer?
17:31The better one?
17:32That was me.
17:34What?
17:35I told you I'd handle it.
17:37Why did you go and make an offer?
17:38Well, because I didn't believe you.
17:40Yeah, well, I thought about it and realised it's the exact kind of home your mum would have
17:44loved and she'd be as angry as you are if I didn't take the leap, so.
17:48Oh, Dad, I'm so proud of you.
17:52I haven't accepted the offer yet, but yeah, not bad for a sad and lonely old man.
17:57Oh, well, at least she won't be homeless now.
18:04Come on, Rue, it hasn't been an hour yet.
18:06I'm sure they're both fine.
18:08I know you're worried, but from what I've seen, Adrian's really good with colour.
18:13Oh, yeah, no, so far, so good.
18:15You've done well today.
18:16I really didn't do anything.
18:18Well, you gave Adrian your blessing to spend some time with the boy and that's good for
18:21both of them.
18:22And I know it mustn't have been easy for you.
18:24You didn't really have a choice.
18:27Hey, that was a quick hour.
18:29Yeah, yeah.
18:30I think you've done enough.
18:32Right, well, I'll leave you all to it.
18:34Thank you again.
18:35No problem.
18:37Open gates up again soon, mate.
18:40Aren't you going to say goodbye to your day?
18:43No, that's okay.
18:44We'll talk later.
18:45Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:45Bye.
18:46Bye.
18:47Bye.
18:47Bye.
18:47Bye.
18:48See ya.
18:49Yeah, bye.
18:53What's wrong?
18:54Nothing.
18:55I just wanted to come back.
18:57Did something happen with your dad?
18:59I don't care that he's my dad.
19:00I don't like him.
19:01I'm stronger on my own.
19:03How'd you go with Colin?
19:10I was great.
19:12Until it wasn't, they can see how they go next time.
19:14Why should I force him to spend time with Adrian?
19:16It might be worthwhile giving Adrian a second chance.
19:19I don't think Colin feels comfortable with that.
19:21One bad conversation doesn't mean we give up.
19:23If we did that every time our kids rejected us, we'd never see them again.
19:26You can't be here.
19:27I just want to talk to my son.
19:28He doesn't want to see you.
19:29He can tell me that himself.
19:30Listen, you can't come in here.
19:31Cowan.
19:31Listen, you can't come in here.
19:32I have a right to see my son.
19:33If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
