00:00I want you to make a board for Mackenzie.
00:10You know, with everything she's been through, she deserves something to smile about.
00:13Is there another design for Mack's board?
00:14Ah, it's just an idea.
00:16It's going to trace Mack and Levi's love story.
00:18Can you really fit that on a surfboard?
00:20Watch me.
00:21I'm not letting your mum sit a foot near Archie.
00:23Our job as parents is to protect that boy at all costs, and it's exactly what I'll do.
00:26Kana, you can't just take off on a whim with my son without telling me where you're going.
00:30Just call me back.
00:30Look, I just need some answers on my parental rights.
00:33Kana?
00:34Why aren't you answering your phone? Harper is freaking out.
00:37I'm getting a solicitor.
00:38We need a formalised custody agreement put in place.
00:41Well, if she's going to get a solicitor, then you have to do the same thing.
00:43You have to make sure that you get what you want.
00:45She's demanding full custody and insisting I pay her child support.
00:48And to top it all off, she's saying I can only have Archie every second weekend.
00:51Just keep you cool.
00:53I need to talk to her.
00:54Yeah, but nothing is going to get resolved while you're in this state.
00:58Tana.
01:02Come on, Tana.
01:03Just stop and think.
01:05Look, going off at Harper right now isn't going to end well.
01:07I can't go off. I don't know where she's staying.
01:09Well, where are you going then?
01:11To find someone who does. She's not getting away with us.
01:12What's happened?
01:13Not now.
01:13Tana?
01:14Just leave him.
01:15What the hell was that?
01:17Whatever set him off, I'm glad I'm not on the end of it.
01:19Is that Harper?
01:19Yeah, I'm wishing you good luck.
01:25But also, you're the hype man for a reason.
01:28Hey.
01:29Where's your sister?
01:31Uh, she's not here.
01:32I'm going to call you back.
01:33Yep.
01:35What's my sister done now?
01:37Oh, like you don't know.
01:38No, I don't know.
01:39She's trying to keep me away from Archie.
01:41No, she is not.
01:43What is this?
01:48She's going for full custody and all decision rights.
01:50Yeah, she wants me out of the picture.
01:52For me to only be a weekend dad.
01:55What, you really didn't know anything about this?
01:57No, I didn't.
01:58She told me that she was getting an arrangement drawn up.
02:01She just, you know, she said it was going to be a formal version of what you already had.
02:04Well, at least she's talking to you.
02:05I can't even ask you about this.
02:07I don't know where she or my son is staying.
02:08Please don't ask me to tell you that.
02:11Dana, please.
02:12I need to sort this out face to face.
02:14Where is she?
02:15Every second weekend.
02:17That's what the letter said.
02:18Well, no wonder he's so filthy.
02:20That is outrageous.
02:21Well, it's probably better he doesn't find her upper.
02:24At least not until he's cooled down.
02:25Oh, what a mess.
02:28Anyway, I hate to cut this short, but my boss cracks the whip when I'm late for her.
02:31Oh, really?
02:32I heard she was a saint.
02:33Don't know who you've been talking to.
02:35Let's go.
02:36I'm going to see you up there in a second.
02:38Okay.
02:38Is that what I think it is?
02:44I'm not one to put tickets on myself.
02:47But this is probably the best board I've ever made.
02:50Molly, you are a legend.
02:52I knew you would come through.
02:54You want to see it?
02:55Yes.
02:55I gave her my word that I wouldn't tell anyone.
03:15Yeah, but I'm not just anyone.
03:16I'm Archie's dad.
03:18Well, you harassing me is not going to get me to change my mind.
03:20I'm sorry.
03:20I am being punished for trying to keep Archie safe and away from your mum.
03:24How are you not on my side here?
03:26Do you not see what a difficult position I'm being put in?
03:28Yes, I do.
03:29But I haven't seen Archie in days.
03:31What, you think that's fair?
03:32I agree with you that Harper has gone too far with that letter.
03:35So, tell me where she's living.
03:37No, I literally can't.
03:38I can, at best, maybe, try and arrange a meeting place somewhere neutral for you two.
03:45Fine.
03:46Fine.
03:47All I want is a chance to talk this through without all the noise.
03:50Okay.
03:51But I also can't make any promises.
03:52You know that, right?
03:53If she says no, there's nothing I can do about it.
04:00Only me.
04:05It's open.
04:06Hi.
04:10What are you doing here?
04:11Tana paid me a visit.
04:14He was a little upset about your solicitor's letter.
04:18You didn't tell him we were here, did you?
04:20No, believe me, if I had, he'd beat me to the door.
04:23Well, thank you.
04:24How's my favourite little human?
04:26Oh, he's a bit grouchy.
04:29I knew that there would be blowback from Tana, and I'm sorry that he got caught up in the crossfire.
04:33I think we need to talk about that letter.
04:39Oh, I'm looking forward to it.
04:42The demands in it were surprising.
04:46And quite unfair.
04:47I'm allowed to fight for what I want.
04:51Well, if you're so comfortable with this, then why'd you keep me in the dark?
04:54Well, you weren't exactly on board with me formalising the arrangement in the first place.
04:58That's not true.
04:59It just isn't true.
05:01All I did was sympathise with a man that was terrified of losing his son.
05:04That is not what's happening.
05:06Then you should have that conversation with him face to face.
05:08No.
05:09I moved here to avoid fighting with him, and that is what solicitors are for.
05:14Is this really the dynamic you want for Archie?
05:17That his parents can't even be in the same room together?
05:21No, I just mean after the rush, you know.
05:23I could hit the beach with you.
05:24Why do you care so much about me surfing today?
05:26What's going on with you?
05:27I know you didn't get one this morning.
05:29Yeah, but as much as I'd love to go for a surf, I can't just drop everything and leave.
05:33Hey, we're not that busy right now.
05:35See?
05:36We're stopping you.
05:38Oh, I need to talk to him first.
05:40Oh, of course.
05:42Missed your chance?
05:44I'll get another.
05:44Did Marley show you the finish board?
05:46Yeah, it's perfect.
05:49I spoke to Marley.
05:50Did you find Harper?
05:51No, the best I could do was to get Dana to act as a go-between.
05:55I'm so sorry this is happening.
05:56If I only get to see my son on the weekends, it's going to kill me.
05:58I know.
05:59I know.
06:00Is there anything I can do?
06:02Well, she was.
06:04Can I see a letter?
06:13Wow.
06:15She's really drawing battle lines.
06:17Well, if Harper thinks I'm going to roll over, she's got another thing coming.
06:21It's her.
06:23She wants to meet right now.
06:24Okay, that's positive.
06:26But Tane, look at me.
06:27You need to try and stay calm.
06:29That's a big ask.
06:30I know.
06:31But you got this.
06:33Freeze.
06:34Good luck.
06:34Who's Archie?
06:49She's with Dana.
06:51Would have been nice to see him, you know?
06:52It's been a while.
06:53Well, I wasn't going to take the risk.
06:54I didn't know how this was going to go.
06:56Do you have any idea how much I miss him?
07:00Do you even care?
07:01We wouldn't be here at all if you hadn't have screwed up.
07:05I took him for one night.
07:06One night.
07:07You've taken him for days.
07:08I don't know where my son has stayed.
07:09Well, I am sorry that it's come to this, but I don't want you knowing where we're staying.
07:12So let me get this straight.
07:14All of this because I took him away and you didn't know where he was.
07:16How is this any different?
07:18You're just punishing me now.
07:19No, I am not.
07:20And this is exactly why we need a legal agreement so everything needs to be played out.
07:23An agreement where you win full custody of Archie.
07:26How is that right?
07:26If I told you, Tana, that I was doing this, you can't be surprised that I've started the
07:30process.
07:30Well, I didn't realise that meant trying to force me out of my son's life.
07:33No, no.
07:34No, I'm not doing this.
07:37Wait.
07:37Wait.
07:37Harper, please.
07:38Look, this wasn't how I meant things to go.
07:40Please.
07:40Wait.
07:40Wait.
07:41Look.
07:42Whatever is going on, no one can accuse us of not caring enough about Archie.
07:46So for his sake, can you just hear me out?
07:49Please.
07:49You need to give her bigger hints.
08:02The board's meant to be a surprise.
08:04I can't make it obvious.
08:06Well, she's alone at the bar, so go.
08:08Take these and talk to her.
08:10What?
08:11Talk to her.
08:19Ta-da.
08:21What, are you working here now?
08:24Ah, just doing my bit so you can get off early.
08:27What's with you today?
08:29Do we make plans I've forgotten about or something?
08:31No, you deserve a break, that's all.
08:33Oh.
08:36You are dying to go over there, aren't you?
08:39Maybe I can help.
08:41Go on.
08:42See what you can do.
08:43Okay.
08:49Hi.
08:50I was going to get you a meal, maybe something on the house.
08:53Why would you do that?
08:55Well, you know, it's just good to have a full stomach when you're having a big talk.
08:58So you told her?
09:00Well, of course I told her.
09:01I don't really see how that's any of your business.
09:03Right.
09:05Just the coffees for now, thanks.
09:06Yep, sure.
09:10She's only trying to make it easier for us.
09:12Yeah, and I'm sure a free plate of lasagna will really solve all our problems.
09:15James, didn't you want to tell me that Archie will always need me?
09:21Yes.
09:23I don't want to shut you out.
09:25I still want you involved.
09:26Yeah, but on your terms, on your timetable?
09:29Having one primary carer is a very common arrangement.
09:32That's what my solicitor advised.
09:34Yeah, but that doesn't mean you have to take them up on that.
09:36Okay, we're not going to agree on this, so let's just leave it to the professionals.
09:40Okay, did you just not talk to me like I'm one of your social work clients, please?
09:43I'm being pragmatic and taking the emotion out of it.
09:46Yeah, but maybe you can do that, but I can't.
09:48Not when it comes to my boy.
09:51I've lost enough people in my life to know that family is everything.
09:56So please don't take them away from me.
09:57How cool is this?
10:03You get to hang out with your Auntie Dana while Mum and Dad have a chat.
10:08Hopefully a very nice, calm, positive chat, yes.
10:12I wouldn't they want the best for someone as cute as you.
10:15Okay, no reply.
10:19Giving you so much good stuff.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Oh, what's that over here?
10:24What's this?
10:28What noise does a llama make?
10:34I actually don't know that.
10:35Oh, okay.
10:36So I guess it's not happening today?
10:52Looks unlikely.
10:55That sucks.
10:56Sorry, man.
10:57You need to.
10:58Well, it is what it is.
11:00You can't blame her for taking care of a friend.
11:02So what now?
11:07I know she's not rusted on for tomorrow morning.
11:10Hmm.
11:11Can you at least agree to let Archie stay with me while you're at work?
11:15Fine, there's room for compromise, but I still have to be the primary carer.
11:19I have every right to make equal decisions about our son's future.
11:23Nothing has changed for me, Tana.
11:25After what you pulled, I don't trust you.
11:27I will always protect my son and put him first.
11:29Well, a legal agreement might make you think twice the next time we argue and you decide
11:33to disappear with him.
11:35There is no way in hell I'll ever accept anything less than a 50-50 split.
11:39If that's the case, we will end up in front of the magistrate and you know how that will
11:43play out.
11:44Really?
11:45Is that really the card you're going to play?
11:47Only if you force me to.
11:48I will never forgive you if you force me out of my son's lips.
11:50Do you know what?
11:50I don't care.
11:51I don't.
11:52I don't care.
11:53Because I will fight you every step of the way if I have to.
11:55All right?
11:56Guys, please stop.
11:57This is not the time or the place.
11:58Yeah.
11:59Well, I'm lying anyway because these are pointless.
12:01Hey, hey, you chose this, not me, mate.
12:05Let it go.
12:06Kiss me.
12:16Don't eat me.
12:17I'm going to go to my...
12:18Ow!
12:19Hi.
12:21How'd it go?
12:22Terribly.
12:23It was a dumb idea of yours for us to meet.
12:25Okay.
12:26What happened?
12:26It was horrible.
12:27We just screamed at each other in the middle of salt.
12:30Like, I never wanted any of this.
12:31All right.
12:32Okay.
12:32I think Mummy's a little upset, doesn't she?
12:35Look at Mummy.
12:36You think I'm in the wrong too, don't you?
12:38I just think what you're proposing is a little one-sided.
12:41I'm just trying to do what's best for Archie.
12:43I know you are.
12:45Well, then why can't Tana say that?
12:46I think you're forgetting that both of you love this little boy so, so much.
12:51I don't know how I'm going to do this.
13:04I really don't.
13:06I got to see him every day.
13:10I'll rush home from work just to play with him.
13:12And now all I come home to is an empty house and silence.
13:19I get that you're hurting.
13:21I do.
13:23Tana, you should not have lost your cool like that.
13:26Yes.
13:26Yeah, I know.
13:27I know.
13:27There are better ways to fight back.
13:29And her solicitor's letter is only the start of a process.
13:34It's just so unfair.
13:36Yeah.
13:36Hey, I get it.
13:37I am on your side.
13:39But that is what a solicitor is for.
13:42I haven't got one yet.
13:44Good morning.
13:45Yeah, I know.
13:46There's a family law firm in Reef and Lakes.
13:48I'll get on to them first thing.
13:50Good.
13:50That's great.
13:51That's great because you've got to stop sorting this yourself.
13:53You need to get a lawyer to negotiate for you.
13:57What am I meant to do till then?
14:00You suck it up with Harper and you play nice.
14:03Seriously?
14:05Seriously.
14:06Look, you've got a long road ahead of your head, buddy.
14:08Things could take months.
14:10And I really feel it's the only way that you're going to be able to see your son in the meantime.
14:18Are you sure you don't mind staying the night?
14:20I'm happy to.
14:21Anyway, Sonny's on business record label stuff.
14:25I didn't mean to turn myself into a one-woman pity party.
14:29You didn't.
14:30And also, you're allowed to be upset.
14:32Can't imagine this place helps.
14:34What do you mean?
14:36Just, I wouldn't stay here for a long time.
14:39Not with a baby.
14:41What's the plan?
14:43I don't have one.
14:44I've barely had time to think, let alone plan in the future.
14:47Sure.
14:48But this is a motel room.
14:50It's a very temporary solution.
14:53Yeah, I'll figure it out.
14:55I know you will.
14:56I know.
14:56I'm really not trying to put on pressure.
14:58Is it not, you know, in a custody battle, quite important to have a fixed address and some stability?
15:09Please don't use the word battle.
15:10Sorry, sorry.
15:12I don't think a screaming match insult necessarily suggests peace and harmony.
15:16I have quite a good solution for you, though.
15:23You and Archie could move in with me.
15:26Come on, Dana.
15:27That's not fair on Sonny.
15:29Sonny loves Archie.
15:30Yeah, that doesn't mean he wants to be woken up at 3am by a hungry baby.
15:34You understand.
15:35And anyway, I can't really let you stay here any longer.
15:39Okay, why are you being weird?
15:51I'm not being weird.
15:51You are being weird.
15:54Morning.
15:54Rip a day for us, sir.
15:56Okay, what is going on with you all?
15:59Listen, we've been through a lot lately.
16:00We've come on the other side.
16:02And I just wanted something to show you how much you mean to me.
16:05So, he secured the services of the most talented local artist around.
16:10Slight exaggeration.
16:11I know, she's right.
16:13I feel like you deserve something as unique and special as you.
16:18Aw.
16:19Cringe, but sweet.
16:22Mm-hmm.
16:23Yeah.
16:31Oh.
16:33Wow.
16:34Wow.
16:35Do you like it?
16:40Do I like it?
16:42He has been dying to unveil the surprise since yesterday.
16:46It's stunning.
16:47I mean, how did you come up with the design?
16:51I think you should talk her through it.
16:53Our work here is done.
17:03Well?
17:03This is what I see when I look at you.
17:09How inspired I am by your strength and your elegance.
17:12How fiercely you live life and how effortlessly you do it, too.
17:22You take my breath away.
17:23Like, every day.
17:24This is the most beautiful and generous thing anyone's ever done for me.
17:35I love you.
17:36I love you so much.
17:40Hi.
17:41I love you.
17:42I love you.
17:42I love you.
17:43You're welcome.
17:44I love you.
17:45I love you.
17:46You're welcome.
17:46Hey
17:54Hey
17:56Hey
18:00Mind the floats?
18:02Yeah, yeah, that's why I brought him along
18:05Yeah
18:06Come here, cut me to you
18:09Hello, my boy
18:11Hello, my boy
18:13Hello, I missed you
18:15I missed you so much
18:17Hey
18:18Thank you
18:20Look, I
18:22I should not have lost my head like that yesterday
18:24I'm sorry
18:25I'm sorry, I overstepped
18:28And I don't want this to get ugly
18:31Yeah, I want to keep things respectful
18:33Even if I don't agree with what you're doing
18:35Please
18:36Don't tell me that you expect us to work this out between us
18:40No
18:41No, let's get a legal custody arrangement for the place
18:44Oh, thank you for changing your mind
18:47Now you hear that, son?
18:50Your mum and dad might actually figure this out
18:52I will never keep you out of our son's life
18:54That won't change
18:56I do have one request, though
18:58While our solicitors are trying to figure this out
19:02We'll just stick to the original plan
19:04It's asking for a lot of trust
19:07It goes both ways
19:08Yeah, I've had it for days now
19:11Okay, 50-50 in the meantime
19:13So does that mean you're okay with me taking him now?
19:19I'm sure he'd enjoy that
19:21Do you want to have him overnight, too?
19:26Yeah, absolutely
19:27I'd love that
19:28Hey
19:29Hey, you hear that?
19:31You're going to have a big day with the old man
19:33Are you ready for that?
19:34Are you ready?
19:35Yeah?
19:36Are you ready?
19:36Maybe we've got some catching up to do, son?
19:45Okay, I've located the vacuum cleaner
19:47And I'm about to start cleaning the spare rooms
19:51I haven't agreed to move in yet
19:53Well, make up your mind, Missy
19:55Because you are awfully isolated there
19:57And Archie is without his favourite aunt
19:59Have you even asked, Sonny?
20:01Yes
20:01I talked to him before I called you
20:04And he's cool with it
20:05That sounds like he's doing whatever his girlfriend wants
20:08Don't act like you're not dying to get out of that room
20:12Okay
20:15Let's do it
20:17Really?
20:18Yay!
20:18When can you get here?
20:19Hey, slow down
20:20I've got a ton of stuff to pack
20:21Well, do you want help?
20:23Because I have my cool car now
20:24Oh
20:25Thank you
20:26But I have a car
20:27Look, I don't mean to be ungrateful
20:29But just don't rush me on this, okay?
20:31Okay
20:31Will you call me when you're ready to go?
20:34Okay
20:34And Dana, thank you
20:37Well
20:38You're very annoying
20:39Very stubborn
20:40But you are my family
20:42So I guess I love you
20:43Very funny
20:44I love you too
20:46I've got to go
20:50I'll talk to you later, okay?
20:53Alright
