00:00The mother of my children and my beloved wife was killed by the reckless and criminal actions
00:14of Craig Wendell. My daughters lost their mother that day. I lost the love of my life.
00:20It's a DPP about Wendell. There's a course of the day for sentencing.
00:23Yeah. Today.
00:25Everyone seems to be moving on, but I think about Theo every second.
00:29Yeah, everyone misses him.
00:31Not like you and I. You're hurting as much as I am.
00:34Leah, I have an incredibly supportive partner to turn to when I need, and you do too.
00:38I'm sorry, but he's the one you should be leaning on. I gotta go.
00:43I can't just click my fingers and change how I feel.
00:46I just want to help you figure this out, okay? And now I'm going to have more time to do that.
00:51What do you mean?
00:52My counsellor's really happy with my progress, okay? We've agreed that I don't need to see her as often, if at all.
00:57I'm glad that you can just turn off your emotions like that after a few easy sessions.
01:02No, that's not what I am saying. I went there to figure a way through this.
01:06And you have, so we've got nothing else to discuss.
01:08But you're not on the same page.
01:10You're not alone in this.
01:11I'm completely alone.
01:13I'm right here. I'm right here.
01:15I don't expect you to understand.
01:17Hey, sexy.
01:32Hey.
01:33Well, John Palmer's not here. You must be talking to me.
01:35Yeah, I'm talking to you.
01:36Yeah?
01:37Okay, baby.
01:38How was work?
01:39It was okay.
01:40No, she was great.
01:41We all got our personal alarms today.
01:43Oh, nifty.
01:43Yeah, it was, actually.
01:45I mean, I didn't have to actually use it, but it was quite comforting when I was there.
01:48Yeah.
01:48Oh, also, cruising along on my new ride.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Forget the bus.
01:52Forget the bus.
01:53Well, thank you, Bree.
01:54In more ways than one, yeah.
01:56Yeah, good for you.
01:56Well, that's good.
01:57I mean, my day was also pretty great, although totally devoid of natural light.
02:00Yes.
02:01How did the sound engineer go?
02:03Hooking up the gear.
02:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:05Good, good, good.
02:06Kind of looks like the inside of a spaceship, but we finally have a function recording studio.
02:11That is so exciting.
02:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13It's actually a little boring, very technical.
02:15Hey.
02:15Relax.
02:16I am stoked that it's all coming together for you guys.
02:19Well, thank you.
02:19That's very nice of you to say.
02:20It is.
02:21And just to be clear, I have moved on from the whole label thing.
02:25I have my own new, exciting prospects ahead of me.
02:27Do you now?
02:28I do, yes.
02:29Come upstairs for a drink.
02:30I'll fill you in, my shell.
02:31Hey, Sarge.
02:44You still here?
02:45Powers of observation are a marvel, Newman.
02:48I figured you'd be on your way into court.
02:50You know, if you want me to hold the fort here, I'm happy to.
02:53If I wanted you to hold the fort, I would have asked.
02:57Okay, Sarge.
02:58That was uncalled for.
03:01I'm sorry.
03:03It's okay.
03:03Honestly, I don't trust myself to be at the hearing.
03:08I don't know what I'd do if things don't go our way.
03:11You know, I reckon the magistrate's going to throw the book at this guy.
03:14When the court hears the victim impact statements and all the damage he's caused,
03:18he still confessed, pled guilty.
03:20The right lawyer with the right tricks could still get him a light sentence.
03:26Actually, when you handle things here,
03:31I need to go and be with my girls.
03:33Yeah, no problem, Sarge.
03:34Can you let Leah and Justin know about the hearing?
03:37Yep.
03:42Come on, let's go.
03:43The beach is waiting.
03:44Can you just let me be?
03:45Well, you can't stay in your room forever,
03:47no matter how much you miss, Theo.
03:49I can't help it.
03:50Being in a real place kind of stirred up a lot.
03:52I know.
03:53Proud of you for that, by the way.
03:54You couldn't even step foot in there a few weeks ago.
03:57Yeah, I guess you could call that progress.
03:59Let's continue that progress out into the real world.
04:02Okay.
04:02As long as we get to talk about your love life on the way there.
04:05Anything further on Eddie versus Tani?
04:07You make it sound like it's a competition.
04:09Well, kind of is, isn't it?
04:12Oh, Dad.
04:13I thought you were working.
04:14I thought I'd give myself an early mark.
04:17Is everything okay?
04:18Yeah.
04:19Yeah, all good.
04:21You're heading out?
04:22Yeah, we just thought we'd get a swim in before the sun sets.
04:25Okay.
04:26Give us a sec.
04:27I'll get change.
04:27I'll come with you.
04:34Since when does Dad leave work early?
04:36I'd love this for you.
04:40Yeah?
04:41Yeah.
04:42I definitely think you've got a VIP kind of vibe.
04:45Do you get it?
04:47Because it's VIP volunteering in the police.
04:49Police, yeah.
04:50I get it.
04:51I'm just trying to picture you working for the police.
04:54Oh.
04:54I mean, it's not like I've ever been arrested for anything that was, you know, my fault.
04:59That's the spirit.
05:00Mm-hmm.
05:00Can I get you guys another ground?
05:03Sure.
05:04Actually, I was thinking that we could go home.
05:07Now that Bree's gone, we officially have the place to ourselves.
05:10You're not worried about any visitors?
05:12No.
05:13We are good on that front.
05:15Okay.
05:16Then I'll get a bottle of wine and we can go home.
05:18Sounds good.
05:22What was the visitors thing about?
05:26Uh, how across the whole Leah thing?
05:30Are you?
05:31Ah, not at all.
05:32Shiraz?
05:33Yes, please.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Um, she's just been very reliant on Sunny recently.
05:37A lot of texts, a lot of calls, a lot of times showing up in the middle of the night to talk.
05:42Because of Theo.
05:44Yeah, so I get it.
05:46To a point.
05:47She's going to be much.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:49But apparently, you know, she's backing off.
05:51So I'll get my boyfriend all myself again.
05:58Oh, actually.
05:59Do you know what is really good about not having roommates?
06:02What?
06:03We don't have to limit ourselves to the bedroom.
06:06You might be the smartest one I've ever met.
06:08Yeah?
06:09Well, why don't you pour that wine and I'll go get us some pillows.
06:14Okay.
06:15Yeah.
06:17So what are the pillows for?
06:18Are we building a fort?
06:29What was that?
06:30It's a letter for you.
06:32It was under the bedroom door.
06:33You know, we're not exactly arguing at this point, but I think I might refer that to this.
06:43I'm not sure you would, mate.
06:44I just don't know how to reach her anymore.
06:47I know it seems bad now, but I'm sure you two will work your way through it.
06:53Hey, Justin.
06:54Hey, Al.
06:55I suppose Leah's working-ish.
06:56Yeah?
06:56What's going on?
06:57Look, guys, David just wanted me to let you know that Wendell's sentencing hearing is underway.
07:03Right now.
07:05David was in here earlier.
07:06Why didn't he say anything?
07:07He only just found out himself.
07:08How long before the court decides what this bloke gets?
07:11Well, that can be hard to predict.
07:13It could be this afternoon.
07:14It could be a couple of days from now.
07:15It could be a week.
07:16Why would it take that long?
07:17What is there to think about?
07:18The magistrate's got a lot of material.
07:19The guy's a murderer.
07:20End of story.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Things take as long as they take.
07:25I'm going to go for a walk.
07:26Do you mind looking after things here?
07:28Yeah, sure.
07:28Do you want me to come?
07:29No, I wouldn't be alone.
07:33I'm sorry, mate.
07:35It's not you.
07:36Just another difficult day.
07:51This is really sad.
07:54Interesting.
07:54I was actually going to go with creepy.
07:57Dana, come on.
07:58What?
07:59Look.
08:00She says, everyone else is getting on with life, but the world doesn't just continue in
08:05Theo's absence.
08:06It's not like that for us.
08:09I know.
08:10That's come from her seeing the photo I left at Theo's grave, and she's obviously just
08:14jumped to her own conclusions.
08:16Mm-hmm.
08:17Where does this come from?
08:17Please don't let other people decide who you can reach out to.
08:21She's clearly acting out of character.
08:23Right?
08:24But Theo's death, it's hit her hard.
08:27I swear, if that is her, I'm leaving.
08:32Leah.
08:33Hi.
08:33I'm so glad you're home.
08:35Can I come in?
08:36That's not actually a good time.
08:37Oh, actually, no, no.
08:38Come on in.
08:39Make yourself comfortable.
08:41Yeah, I'll just, um, get out of your way, and then you can have a little talk.
08:45I didn't mean to cause issues between you two.
08:50World War Dog choice, Dad.
08:52Sorry?
08:53You going to swim in there?
08:56Maybe I will.
08:57Seriously, though, are you okay?
08:58Why do you keep asking that?
09:00Because you're being weird.
09:02We've lived here for how many months, and you've never come to the beach with us before?
09:06I'm not sure I appreciate being ganged up on here.
09:10What is it?
09:17It's a DPP.
09:20Craig Wendell's been sentenced.
09:23That was today?
09:25That's why you've been acting weird.
09:26Why didn't you tell us?
09:28What did he get?
09:30Dad.
09:33Don't worry.
09:35He's going away for a very long time.
09:40I've waited weeks for this thing to come through, and now it finally has.
09:46Yeah, it must have been a shock when, uh, it's suddenly underway.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Yeah, which is why I thought it'd be good to keep you in the loop.
09:54You know, I didn't want you to feel sideswiped like I was.
09:56Oh, thanks.
09:57But, you know, you didn't need to come all the way here to tell me that.
10:00Cash thinks a decision could be made today, so it'd be good if we were together when that happened.
10:05Right, but, uh, thing is, I've got plans with Dana, so...
10:09You got my note?
10:11Yeah.
10:13Where's Justin?
10:15I'm not sure.
10:16How about we give him a call and we'll go meet him?
10:18He's probably busy.
10:20I'll give it a go.
10:22Okay.
10:23Sure.
10:23Well, I hope you don't mind grabbing an early dinner.
10:27I've got to be back at the station.
10:28Yeah, no problem.
10:29Whatever Yabby Creek Station needs, I am happy to protect.
10:33Hello.
10:33Uh, can I please get a house red?
10:36Yeah, sure.
10:37What, uh, what happened to alone time with Sunny?
10:39What happened indeed.
10:41Ooh.
10:42Oh, you're an officer of the law.
10:44I'll ask you, when do you think needy behaviour tips over into criminal behaviour?
10:49I don't know.
10:50I probably need a few more specifics before I answer that.
10:52Mm-hmm. Okay.
10:53Um, hypothetically, if someone knew where a spare key was hidden and they used it to let themselves
10:59into the house, even though they knew that you weren't there, quit that count of breaking
11:03and entering.
11:04What did you do?
11:05I didn't...
11:06Just tell us what you did.
11:07Go on, you've already started the story.
11:08I didn't hear anything.
11:08Also, I said hypothetically.
11:10You know what?
11:10Not helpful.
11:11Grab a table, I'll bring your wine over.
11:14Do you have any idea what that was about?
11:16I think I do, actually.
11:19Oh, yeah, and it's the station.
11:22I need to be back now.
11:25Go.
11:26I will bring you dinner after my shift.
11:27Okay.
11:28Bye.
11:28Bye.
11:33Okay.
11:34I am on my break.
11:36Hit me.
11:38I guess we're talking about Leah.
11:39But it didn't want.
11:40Hey.
11:48Hi, guys.
11:49Hey.
11:50Thanks for calling.
11:51Of course.
11:52Leah's just a bit worried about what's going to happen at the hearing and turned up at my
11:56place.
11:57Right.
11:58Thanks.
11:59Of course.
12:00I'm going to go find Dana.
12:02Catch her.
12:04Well, thanks for the coffee.
12:05Thanks for listening.
12:06Of course.
12:06Thanks for listening.
12:07Of course.
12:07Thanks for listening.
12:07Thanks for listening.
12:07Thanks for listening.
12:07Thanks for listening.
12:07Thanks for listening.
12:10So that big walk you needed to have on your own, that was straight upstairs, was it?
12:15Well, I thought Sonny should know about the sentencing.
12:17Really?
12:18That's the only reason you went up there?
12:20I don't know what to say.
12:21Justin.
12:23Lacey.
12:25Lacey, hi.
12:27Yeah.
12:27No, yeah.
12:28Yeah, we know that the hearing started today.
12:33Really?
12:34Lacey.
12:35What?
12:36Hang on, Lacey.
12:38The court made their decision.
12:40Wendell got a life sentence.
12:4325 years non-parole.
12:45They're not working her out.
12:46Sounds about right to me.
12:49Thanks for letting me know.
12:50That's okay.
12:52For the least I could do.
12:55Yeah, me too.
12:57Mate.
12:57How'd you take it?
13:07Pretty well, I think.
13:10I mean, it's the best we could have hoped for.
13:13Champagne?
13:14Oh, I don't think we ordered that.
13:17I did, yes.
13:18It's a big day.
13:21I felt we should mark it.
13:23Good result.
13:24Must be a relief.
13:25Thanks, Eden.
13:26It is.
13:27Enjoy.
13:31A toast?
13:34To your amazing mother.
13:38Who finally got the justice she deserves.
13:42And to Thea.
13:43It's been a long, painful road.
13:50But I'm so proud of both of you.
13:54And after today's decision,
13:57it's my hope that we can
13:59just breathe again.
14:06She's not.
14:07I miss your love.
14:10I miss your love.
14:13It's too good to be true.
14:19My eyes are open here.
14:21I didn't realize Sonny and Leah were close.
14:23Me either.
14:25According to Dana,
14:26it's getting a bit out of control.
14:27Yeah, well,
14:28spare key.
14:28You're breaking in time.
14:29Among other things.
14:31Well, I don't have to arrest anybody.
14:33Yeah, well, if Dana had it her way,
14:34I should probably ask you to take Leah in.
14:37Do you reckon things are that bad?
14:38Well, I mean, she was pretty upset.
14:40Which I get.
14:41Leah's crossed a few lines.
14:42But, you know, she's hurting
14:44and she needs someone to lean on.
14:46Why can't Sonny just be more upfront?
14:48Well, it's hard.
14:50You know, to put down boundaries
14:51with someone that you care about
14:53when they're in pain.
14:56What?
14:57Well, look at you,
14:58seeing both sides of the story.
15:00What does that mean?
15:02Well, you've been known to pick a side
15:03and sit on it for ten years or so.
15:05I didn't have to bring you dinner,
15:08F-Ware.
15:08I could have just let you starve.
15:09Can I rephrase that?
15:10Please do, yeah.
15:11Okay.
15:12You being able to see all sides
15:15will make you a valuable asset to the station.
15:18Yeah, okay.
15:19So do you really mean that,
15:21seeing you're comfortable,
15:21or are you just trying to get yourself out of trouble?
15:23I meant that.
15:23Hmm, okay.
15:25Well, not only am I usefully objective,
15:28I have intel, if you're interested.
15:31Yes, I'm very interested in your intel.
15:34Craig Wendell got a life sentence.
15:40How could you possibly know that?
15:42The Langhams were celebrating it,
15:43so, before I came here.
15:45They were really happy about it.
15:48Yeah, they would be.
15:50This is a good thing.
15:51It means this guy's going to go away
15:53for a really long time.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah, it is.
16:02I just thought,
16:03once he was punished,
16:05something would click inside of me,
16:07and I'd feel better somehow.
16:11But you don't?
16:13It doesn't bring Theo back.
16:21I know how angry you feel,
16:28and I know how hard it is to push back against that.
16:32You've got to do whatever you can
16:34to look on the bright side, you know,
16:36whenever you can.
16:39There's a bright side.
16:41You know what I mean, right?
16:42You know what?
16:43It's my fault.
16:44I should stop expecting you
16:46to understand what I'm going through.
16:47I understand.
16:48You should stop talking.
16:49There's no bright side.
16:51There's no silver lining.
16:53Just leave me alone.
16:58Space, please.
16:59You're not that cop movie.
17:01It's so bad.
17:02You said it was my choice.
17:04Fine.
17:05Laptop's on my bed.
17:06Go set it up.
17:07You getting sex?
17:08Yes.
17:08Princess and Chips,
17:09I know the drill.
17:09You're welcome to join us,
17:13if you like.
17:14No, thanks.
17:15Plot holes in that film
17:16drive me nuts.
17:21You are all right, aren't you?
17:23Yeah.
17:25Just glad it's all over.
17:28Joe!
17:30Snacky, snacky, please.
17:33Go feed the beast.
17:35I heard that.
17:36Yeah, yeah, I know.
17:37That's why I said it.
17:38Hey, we must ask for you.
17:40It was one secret, but...
17:45It made me very happy.
18:06I made it very clear that I was busy.
18:08So trust me,
18:08she will not be bothering us again tonight.
18:11Yeah, what about tomorrow?
18:12Or the day after that?
18:13Can we just not speak about Leah now?
18:15See, I would love to, hon,
18:17but I'm kind of afraid
18:17she's going to jump out of the fridge
18:19or something.
18:20Also,
18:21I don't know what that spare key is,
18:22but we have to move it.
18:22Already done.
18:23It won't be her.
18:38Problem solved.
18:39Yeah, you think so?
18:41Yeah.
18:42I've done enough thinking for today.
18:43In fact,
18:43I think we should get back
18:45to where we were before
18:46you were rudely interrupted.
18:53Hon,
18:54she's getting worse.
18:56I think the soft approach
18:57that you've been trying
18:57has not been very effective.
18:59And you need to be clear with her
19:01about backing off.
19:02I have been clear.
19:03No, you haven't.
19:04Enough is enough.
19:04You're going to tell her
19:05she's not going to do this anymore.
19:22Morning, Sarge.
19:24Hey, morning.
19:26How was the station last night?
19:28It's fine.
19:29It's quiet.
19:30Good.
19:30I heard about Wendell's sentencing.
19:32It's a good result.
19:34Yeah.
19:35It is.
19:36How'd Lacey and Joe
19:36take the news?
19:38As expected.
19:40It's a big relief
19:41for them both.
19:41Yeah.
19:42Hopefully now
19:43they can start
19:44putting their lives
19:44back together.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Reckoning you might
19:47do the same?
19:49We'll see.
19:54Hello.
19:55Anyone home?
19:57Honey, hi.
19:59Hey, is Justin in?
20:00Uh, he's gone for a surf.
20:02Come in.
20:03It's really nice to see you.
20:04Are you hungry?
20:05Can I make you breakfast?
20:06No, no, no.
20:06All good.
20:07I'm not going to stay long.
20:08Uh, listen, I just, uh,
20:11I came to lay down some, um,
20:14boundaries.
20:17Um, if it's about the messages
20:19I was sending last night,
20:20I'm sorry, I didn't mean to impose.
20:21It's more than that, Leah.
20:22It's more than that, Leah.
20:24The letter you left at my house.
20:27That was too much.
20:28You're an incredible person
20:29and I care about you.
20:31Like, don't get me wrong,
20:31but to be honest,
20:33I just need some space.
20:35No, please don't say it.
20:35Please, please don't say
20:36that we can't talk anymore
20:38because I just don't know
20:38how I'm going to cope.
20:40You spoke about this, Leah.
20:41I mean, you have an incredibly
20:42supportive husband.
20:43A husband who just
20:44wants me to stop being sad
20:46and to move on.
20:47Justin loves you.
20:48He does, but he didn't care
20:49about Theo the way that we did.
20:52Well, everything he's doing,
20:54everything he's saying,
20:55it makes me think
20:56that he didn't love Theo at all.
