00:00I want you to make a board for Mackenzie.
00:10A special occasion.
00:11You know, with everything she's been through, she deserves something to smile about.
00:14Not much of a brief.
00:15I was so sure I could do this, but I've got nothing.
00:18I found something that's really interesting that I think could be really great at.
00:22It is the Volunteers in Policing program.
00:25No.
00:26It's a good program.
00:27You must have seen it in action before.
00:29I have.
00:30But Eden cannot be involved.
00:32Maybe you don't need Sunny as much as you think.
00:34I think I do.
00:35Sunny, can we talk privately?
00:38I have an incredibly supportive partner to turn to when I need, and you do too.
00:42You need only not him, not me.
00:44I was kind of hoping you had a good time at the barbecue.
00:47Sunny was there.
00:48He just shut me out and left.
00:50He needs support.
00:51He's trying to hide it, but he's not okay.
00:54The barbecue?
00:55I would have thought that would be good for him.
00:57Sunny was there.
00:59You know, maybe if he wasn't, things might have turned out different.
01:01Oh, but isn't that why she went?
01:03What?
01:04Well, when David asked her to go to the barbecue, she said she couldn't go.
01:07But when she heard that Sunny was gone, she changed her mind.
01:10I gave you everything.
01:11I hope you're heading home to do something fun, because you've been a real misery guts for days.
01:23JP, don't start.
01:24Let me guess.
01:25The warm going home is just about a surfboard design.
01:28Actually, no.
01:29Abby's about to start her shift upstairs, so I'm going to go and hang out with her.
01:32Okay?
01:33Please do hear it.
01:34What's the man?
01:35I hear you've been playing phone tag about the surfboard.
01:38Oh, yeah.
01:39Something like that.
01:40Don't you two live together?
01:41Well, we've just both been very busy.
01:44Trying to get a chance to talk about the board while Max's not around has been a bit of a challenge,
01:48but she's home right now, so why don't we head upstairs, have a chat.
01:52I'm excited to see what you've come up with.
01:54Sorry.
01:55I was actually about to rush out the door.
01:58Okay.
01:59Well, there's no deadline, so tomorrow.
02:02Sounds good.
02:07You can't avoid this forever.
02:09Working hard, I see.
02:18You know, that mean bartender look is bad for business.
02:21Is everything all right?
02:22Yeah, actually, I have some big news.
02:26I am going to be volunteering at the police station.
02:29As what? Target practice?
02:30It's a support role.
02:32I'm going to be helping victims navigate the system.
02:35Oh, wow. That's huge.
02:37Good on you.
02:38Thanks.
02:39Does that mean you're quitting sold?
02:41Yeah.
02:42You're going to miss me?
02:43No.
02:45I still need this job to pay the bills.
02:48So is this definitely happening?
02:50Well, I mean, David has to finalize everything, but he's really keen to have me around.
02:55Well, you seem pretty keen yourself.
02:57Yeah, I mean, it's a chance for me to really help people.
03:00As far as finding a purpose, this sounds like a winner.
03:03Yeah. You'll smash it.
03:04Absolutely.
03:05That's why Levi's going to buy you a cocktail to celebrate.
03:07Ooh, yeah.
03:08Yeah.
03:09You should celebrate, right?
03:10Mm, yes.
03:11Um, I need to probably go home to Cash.
03:13We need to talk about how this is all going to work.
03:15All right.
03:16But we should celebrate.
03:17Cash is going to be so excited to work with you.
03:19Just so I have this right, you have no concerns about the program itself?
03:25Ah, no.
03:26No, absolutely none.
03:27In fact, when I worked in the city, I worked with the volunteer program.
03:31It's a really, really good program.
03:33But you and I both understand the challenges that come with having family involved in our line of work, so...
03:40Sarge, Sarge, I guess I'm just asking if you can extend me some professional courtesy.
03:44You want me to do you a solid?
03:46One officer to another.
03:47Yes, Sarge.
03:48Okay.
03:49I'm going to pretend this conversation never happened.
03:52You're welcome.
03:53Excuse me, Sarge.
03:54I have no interest in adjudicating your marital disagreements and I'm not shutting down a volunteer for a worthy initiative.
04:00Is that clear?
04:02That's clear.
04:03No.
04:04So unless you're going to help me wash up, you should probably go home.
04:10Gone are the days I'd take all these leftovers home to Theo.
04:15How many times he would just pounce on me the moment and walk through the door.
04:21It'll get easier.
04:24I might see with Sonny and Dana.
04:26I want these.
04:27I don't think they ate a thing at the barbecue.
04:29Okay, so they've probably eaten by now.
04:31How do you know that?
04:32I don't know that.
04:33But now that we're on the subject of Sonny, can we talk about what happened today?
04:37What about it?
04:38Can we sit down?
04:39I don't have time.
04:40Just-
04:41We need to make time for this.
04:50Is it true you only went to the barbecue because you knew Sonny was going to be there?
04:53Who told you that?
04:54It doesn't matter who told me that.
04:55Is it true?
04:56I wanted to check on him after we found that photo.
05:02I thought he just showed up.
05:03I didn't know you were expecting him to be there.
05:06What difference does it make?
05:07The important thing is that I'm worried about you.
05:09I know you are and I know why.
05:12Do you?
05:13Yes, of course I do.
05:15But I'm worried about you.
05:18Are you sure?
05:19I'm not sure.
05:20This is not just, and I don't know, you redirecting your grief.
05:26If you're going to suggest counselling-
05:28I'm not going to-
05:29You can't just click my fingers and change how I feel.
05:32I'm not saying you should, okay?
05:34I just want to help you figure this out.
05:39Okay?
05:40And now I'm going to have more time to do that.
05:43What do you mean?
05:45My counsellor's really happy with my progress, okay?
05:47We've agreed that I don't need to see her as often, if at all.
05:50Congratulations.
05:51I'm glad that you can just turn off your emotions like that after a few easy sessions.
05:59No, that's not what I am saying.
06:01I went there to figure a way through this.
06:03And you have.
06:04So we've got nothing else to discuss.
06:07What?
06:08Just go home.
06:10Hi guys, any chance I can get something to eat or I'm starving?
06:13Come in, you're just in time to congratulate my husband.
06:15He's just graduated from grief counselling today.
06:18Second thoughts, don't worry about it.
06:20I'll go home and reheat some.
06:21No, I've got plenty of leftovers for you to take home.
06:24There you go.
06:29What's going on?
06:32Just put my foot in it.
06:33As usual.
06:48Where have you been?
06:54I went for a walk.
06:56I told Levi and Abby about my volunteer work.
06:59They're very excited.
07:01Shame I can't say the same for all my family.
07:03I'm not going to apologise for keeping you safe.
07:05Babe, you're getting worked up over something that's never going to happen.
07:09No, I'm not getting worked up.
07:11You have no idea what you...
07:16Look, I'm tired.
07:19Maybe we should go to bed.
07:20I'm tired.
07:37That was the surf.
07:40Pretty awesome.
07:42What's up?
07:44You got time for a chat?
07:45Hello.
07:50What's going on?
07:53I'm sorry.
07:55The truth is, I...
07:57I can't do max board.
07:59Hm.
08:00Why not?
08:02I'm just...
08:04I'm too busy.
08:05Too busy?
08:07I didn't give you a deadline. How could time be an issue?
08:09Look, if you're not interested, just say so.
08:11No, it's not that.
08:13Can we go somewhere else and have a talk?
08:17Eden, what can I do for you?
08:20I was wondering, um, if this would be dangerous for me at all?
08:25Working in the station, is it... is it risky?
08:28We would never put civilians in danger.
08:30No, no, of course not. But, um, everyone knows everyone around here.
08:32And as a cop's wife, am I likely to be targeted?
08:37Are these your concerns or your husband's?
08:39Yeah, sorry. He's being super overprotective.
08:44Look, I can't rule out every possibility.
08:46I know.
08:47But you'd mostly be working with victims in court or at the hospital.
08:51You would never come into contact with criminals.
08:53Good. That is... that is what I thought.
08:56Okay.
08:58Now I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Cash last night.
09:02I am not getting involved.
09:04You two need to sort it out.
09:06Right. Right.
09:07Do you have a problem with that?
09:10No. Everything is now very clear.
09:12Very clear.
09:14That's all I don't know more.
09:15It is, yeah.
09:16All right.
09:31The Toysburg-P testimony away.
09:33my husband lied to me okay is he still alive for now what did he do well you know how i wanted to
09:44volunteer with the police yeah yeah well i'm pretty sure that last night he asked his boss
09:49to block me from the program why would he do that because he's wrapping me in cotton wool like i'm
09:55some wilting flower he has to protect all the time are you sure this isn't just some business
09:58i'm standing i am sure cash has made it abundantly clear that he is not on board feels like i can't
10:06put a foot right the more i try to help the harder she pushes back i'm pretty sure leah wasn't trying
10:13to be hurtful but you you've been where she is heaven knows you've had enough grief in your life
10:19yes exactly i don't want her getting stuck in that head space you know her grief

15:19that too much to ask i know it's frustrating i want this over with as much as you do something about
15:24it you said making this statement would put that guy away for a long time oh yeah
15:29i'm sorry it's okay come on why don't we get out of here
15:45sorry i got talking with levi and lost tracker time talking about anything in particular
15:51in my hang-ups with max design finally you were right i should have been up front with him from
15:59the start at least it's out in the open now so he told you that he wanted to pull out he did well i'm
16:06really sorry that he's letting you down from this way no he didn't he didn't we managed to iron out
16:10the details and now he's fully committed really all good to go it was my fault i should have been more

17:01of the day you always come home i've been lucky the chances of me actually being in danger are very
