FunTranscript
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 at her.
00:15Not much of a brief.
00:16I was so sure I could do this, but I've got nothing.
00:19I found something that's really interesting that I think could be really great at.
00:22Yes?
00:23It is the Volunteers in Policing program.
00:26No.
00:27It's a good program.
00:28You must have seen it in action before.
00:29I have, but even cannot be involved.
00:32Maybe you don't need Sonny as much as you think.
00:34I think I do.
00:35Sonny, can we talk?
00:37Privately?
00:38I have an incredibly supportive partner to turn to when I need, and you do too.
00:42You need a lean on him, not me.
00:44I was kind of hoping you had a good time at the barbecue.
00:47Sonny 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.
00:57Sonny was there.
00:58You 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, but when she heard
01:08that Sonny was gone, she changed her mind.
01:10I 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 a 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?
02:30Target practice?
02:31It's a support role.
02:32I'm going to be helping victims navigate the system.
02:35Oh, wow.
02:36It is huge.
02:37Good on you.
02:38Good on you.
02:39Thanks.
02:40Does that mean you're quitting sold?
02:41Yeah.
02:42You're going to miss me?
02:43No.
02:44I 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.
03:04He'll smash it.
03:05Absolutely.
03:06I don't know why Levi's going to buy you a cocktail to celebrate.
03:08Ooh, yeah.
03:09Yeah.
03:10You should celebrate, right?
03:11Mm, yes.
03:12Um, 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.
03:34You and I both understand the challenges that come with having family involved in our line of work.
03:38So, Sarge, 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.
04:04So, 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 Sunny and Dana.
04:26I want these.
04:27I don't think I ate a thing at the barbecue.
04:30Okay, so they've probably eaten by now.
04:31Well, how do you know that?
04:32I don't know that.
04:33But now that we're on the subject of Sunny, 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 Sunny 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.
05:01I thought he just showed up.
05:03I didn't know you were expecting him to be there.
05:06What difference does it make?
05:08The important thing is that I'm worried about him.
05:10I know you are and I know why.
05:12Do you?
05:13Yes, of course I do.
05:14But I'm worried about you.
05:18Are you sure?
05:20This is not just, and I don't know, you redirecting your grief.
05:26If you're going to suggest counselling-
05:27I'm not going to-
05:28I 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.
05:40Okay, and now I'm going to have more time to do that.
05:43What do you mean?
05:44My 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.
05:53Congratulations.
05:55I'm glad that you can just turn off your emotions like that after a few easy sessions.
06:00Look, that's not what I am saying.
06:02I went there to figure a way through this.
06:04And you have.
06:05So we've got nothing else to discuss.
06:08What?
06:09Just go home.
06:11Hi guys, any chance I can get something to eat, I'm starving.
06:13Come in, you're just in time to congratulate my husband.
06:16He's just graduated from grief counselling today.
06:19Second thoughts, don't worry about it.
06:20I'll go home and reheat some.
06:22No, 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, as usual.
06:37Where have you been?
06:54Went 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.
07:06Babe.
07:07You're getting worked up over something that's never going to happen.
07:10No, 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.
07:36How was the surf?
07:40Pretty awesome.
07:42What's up?
07:44You got time for a chat?
07:45No.
07:50What's going on?
07:54I'm sorry.
07:55The truth is, I...
07:56I can't do max board.
07:59Hmm.
08:00Why not?
08:02I'm just...
08:04I'm too busy.
08:05Too busy?
08:07I didn't give you a deadline.
08:08How could time be an issue?
08:10Look, if you're not interested, just say so.
08:11No, it's not that.
08:13Can we go somewhere else and have a talk?
08:16Eden, what can I do for you?
08:19I was wondering if this would be dangerous for me at all, working in the station.
08:26Is it risky?
08:28We would never put civilians in danger.
08:29No.
08:30No, of course not.
08:31But everyone knows everyone around here.
08:32And as a cop's wife, am I likely to be targeted?
08:36Targeted.
08:38Are these your concerns or your husband's?
08:40Yeah.
08:41Sorry, 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.
08:54That is...
08:55That is what I thought.
08:57Okay.
08:59Now I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Cash last night.
09:03I am not getting involved.
09:04You two need to sort it out.
09:06Right.
09:07Right.
09:09Do you have a problem with that?
09:10No.
09:11Everything is now very clear.
09:34My husband lied to me.
09:38Okay.
09:39Is he still alive?
09:40For now.
09:42What did he do?
09:43Well, you know how I wanted to volunteer with the police?
09:45Yeah.
09:46Yeah.
09:47Well, I'm pretty sure that last night he asked his boss to block me from the program.
09:52Why would he do that?
09:54Because he's wrapping me in cotton wool like I'm some wilting flower he has to protect all the time.
09:57Are you sure this isn't just some business I'm standing?
09:59I am sure.
10:00Cash has made it abundantly clear that he is not on board.
10:05Feels like I can't put a foot right.
10:08The more I try to help, the harder she pushes back.
10:11I'm pretty sure Leah wasn't trying to be hurtful.
10:15But you, you've been where she is.
10:17Heaven knows you've had enough grief in your life.
10:19Yes, exactly.
10:23I don't want her getting stuck in that head space, you know.
10:26Her grief, it's consuming her.
10:28But she's not doing anything to help herself move on.
10:33It doesn't have to be counselling.
10:35It just has to be something.
10:38Hey, yeah, I'm pleased the counselling's helping, mate.
10:42Yeah, me too.
10:45Doesn't make it any easier.
10:46I miss Theo so much.
10:50Every time I try to talk to her, she just gets upset and defensive.
10:54So I'm just giving her space for now.
10:59I know it's tough.
11:01But you've just got to keep on trying.
11:07Hey.
11:09Are these for us?
11:10Sorry.
11:11I was meant to bring him over.
11:13No worries.
11:15You've got a lot going on.
11:17How are you travelling?
11:19Oh, you know, just taking it day by day.
11:23What if you and Justin ever need anything?
11:28Thanks.
11:34So what do you think?
11:35You hate them.
11:37No, no, it's just...
11:39No, I get it.
11:41They don't feel right.
11:43That's why I'm going to pull out, okay?
11:44This job isn't for me.
11:46Marley, you working on this board is what makes it so special, okay?
11:48You're like a brother to Mac.
11:49Maybe that's the problem.
11:51I see Mackenzie as a friend, you know, like a sister.
11:53But you're her partner.
11:54I need to see this from your perspective.
11:55I'm not an artist, though.
11:57Yeah, but this gift isn't from me.
11:58It's from you.
12:00Help me out here.
12:02Help me see Mackenzie through your eyes.
12:04This doesn't need to be weird.
12:06It definitely feels weird to me.
12:08It's from you.
12:10Help me out here.
12:11Help me see Mackenzie through your eyes.
12:14This doesn't need to be weird.
12:16It definitely feels weird talking about this with you.
12:20Well, if this is going to work, you need to be open and honest with me.
12:23What does Mack mean to you?
12:26Where do I even start?
12:28You could try the beginning.
12:33Okay.
12:35Well, as you know, she was a patient.
12:39She was unconscious the first time we met.
12:42So not that romantic a start.
12:44But eventually when I did get to talk to her, I knew I was in trouble.
12:51Yeah, Mack sure is trouble.
12:55I'd never felt that way about anybody before, especially a patient.
12:59And I never imagined in a million years I'd be leaving my marriage.
13:03Yeah, you and Mack had a rocky start.
13:07I don't remember how tough it was.
13:09But worth it.
13:11You know?
13:13I've never smiled like that with anybody else.
13:15She's...
13:17She's got this fire.
13:19She's independent. She's strong.
13:21She's...
13:22She's fierce, you know?
13:24It's like she could take on the world if she wanted to.
13:27I knew I'd met my match.
13:28I love Mackenzie so much.
13:33She's my life partner and...
13:36I'm so excited to see what lies ahead for us.
13:39So it should be.
13:43Oh, I'd go for another run if I were you.
13:47Far, far away.
13:48What do you mean?
13:50Don't say I didn't warn you.
13:54Come to lie to me again.
13:55About what?
13:57Oh, I don't know. About where you actually went last night.
14:02I went and spoke to David.
14:04Yeah, I know. He told me.
14:06You asked him not to hire me, didn't you?
14:08I had to do something.
14:10I don't believe this. How could you go behind my back like that?
14:12Because you know how I feel about you working at the station, Eden?
14:15It's too dangerous and if I hadn't...
14:16Cash, Cash.
14:17You cannot spend your whole life trying to protect me.
14:20Okay?
14:22When is this gonna end?
14:25But our voices, where do they go?
14:34Tar, have you spoken to Justin since this morning?
14:38No, why? Has he said something?
14:39No.
14:40Well, we had a little chat.
14:42And?
14:44I think he just wants to be there for you.
14:46If you need someone to lean on.
14:48It's only said something similar.
14:50Yeah, well, great minds then, eh?
14:51Oh, hey, hey.
14:53Terrific barbecue.
14:55Great food and fun crowd.
14:57I'm glad you can't win.
14:58Thanks for the invite.
15:02Oh, God.
15:03Everything okay?
15:04I'm trying to get an answer from the DPP on a date for Wendell's sentencing.
15:08Still no news?
15:10No.
15:11It should be any day now.
15:12What do you keep saying?
15:13What does everything have to take so long?
15:15I know, it feels...
15:16The legal system is a joke.
15:18People need justice.
15:19They need closure.
15:20Is that too much to ask?
15:21I know it's frustrating.
15:22I want this over with as much as you need.
15:24Then do something about it.
15:25You said making this statement would put that guy away for a long time.
15:30Leah.
15:31I'm sorry.
15:34It's okay.
15:36Come on, why don't we get out of here?
15:45Sorry.
15:46I've got talking with Levi and lost track of time.
15:50Talking about anything in particular?
15:53My hang-ups with Max Design.
15:54Finally.
15:57You were right.
15:58I should have been up front with him from the start.
16:01At least it's out in the open now.
16:03So he told you that he wanted to pull out?
16:05He did.
16:06I'm really sorry that he's letting you down from this way.
16:08No, he didn't.
16:09He didn't.
16:10He managed to iron out the details and now he's fully committed.
16:13Really?
16:15I'm good to go.
16:16It was my fault.
16:17I should have been more clear about the brief.
16:19So what?
16:20The design's changing now?
16:21Sure is.
16:22He's going to trace Mac and Levi's love story.
16:24And it's a hell of a story.
16:27Can you really fit that on the surfboard?
16:29Watch me.
16:31You've been gone a while.
16:36Yeah, I needed some time to think.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Me too.
16:43I am really sorry that I went behind your back.
16:46I was just doing it out of concern for your safety.
16:48Yeah.
16:49I'm very aware of your concerns.
16:50We have been over this.
16:52But I have concerns too.
16:54Every time you go to work.
16:55I know.
16:57What if he doesn't come home?
16:58What if something terrible happens?
17:00But at the end of the day, you always come home.
17:04I've been lucky.
17:05The chances of me actually being in danger are very limited.
17:10David confirmed it.
17:11So you are overreacting.
17:12And it's not fair.
17:15You're right.
17:17This is a whole new chapter for you.
17:19And I couldn't stop you if I wanted to.
17:21So I'll stop trying.
17:24Are you sure?
17:25Because I really don't want to be repeating this fight later down the track.
17:29Well, I'm never going to stop trying to protect you.
17:31But I did promise you that I would support you.
17:35So that's what I'm going to do.
17:43I know you want to be my rock.
17:45And I love you for that.
17:47But we're just both in different places.
17:55Leo is all I think about.
17:58I'm proud of where you're at.
18:03But I can't be there with you.
18:06I'm not ready.
18:09I hate seeing you like this.
18:14I don't know how to help.
18:16We're just not on the same page.
18:19It's okay.
18:22You're not alone in this.
18:25I am.
18:26I'm completely alone.
18:28I'm right here.
18:30I'm right here.
18:32I don't expect you to understand.
18:37I'm just...
18:38I'm going to go back to the blind.
18:40Come.
18:41I'm just...
18:42I want to walk on my own.
18:43Okay?
18:44Is that alright?
18:45I can't...
18:47I want to walk on my own.
18:48I'm just jumping to the blind.
18:49I'm not alone.
18:50I'm not alone.
18:51I'm actually sleeping with your own.
18:52But I'm not alone.
18:53I'm just looking back.
18:54I'm trying to find you right here.
18:55But you should know I hate myself
19:13For once believing someone else
19:19You should know I'm part of me
19:49Not here for couples counselling I hope
20:01No, actually I wanted to apologise for trying to interfere with the volunteer program
20:05Does this mean Aiden's still on board?
20:08It does
20:08As long as she wants to participate I'm not going to stand in her way
20:12Have a seat
20:14Newman
20:17I know what it's like to want to protect your family
20:21It's not easy
20:23But there comes a point where we have to accept that we can't control these things
20:27We have to let them live their own lives
20:30One sec
20:34Sergeant Langham speaking
20:37Please tell me you have a date
20:40What?
20:45Why am I only hearing about this now?
20:47Look, I don't want excuses
20:50Just keep me informed
20:52Everything alright, Sarge?
20:55It's DPP about Wendell
20:57There's a course at a date for sentencing
20:59Yeah, today
21:01It's already started
21:03I don't want to be the Bar tutorials
21:17You're so bored, your terms and the benefits are familiar with you
21:19You're so 소리
21:19I don't want to have any thoughts of you
21:20I haven't heard of me
21:21I haven't heard of you
21:22I don't want to have any thoughts on you
