03:06why are you doing this doing what pretending it means nothing we're not crazy dad this is
03:12something it's real it has to be you still haven't told me how you found out wendell's name
03:19how i took photos of your whiteboard at the station well you weren't telling me anything what
03:25else was i supposed to do not break into my office for start okay i didn't break in
03:29the constable and duty let me in that is not okay and neither is keeping your daughters in the dark
03:34glacia i have my reasons well whatever your reasons are they suck because it is unfair to us
03:38and it is unfair okay all right you let's just all stop and take a breath all right
03:47all right it's a shame you're gonna be by my side when i'm looking this flat yeah absolutely
03:52hey so how's harper feeling the eyes still giving her a lot of discomfort
03:57well you know i'm sure she'll appreciate you staying with her for a few nights yeah i'm sure she
04:01will you are missing the wedding after all so yeah you seem real caught up about that
04:09okay what am i missing here quite a bit i think
04:17hey hey they told me upstairs you weren't coming in today oh yeah that was the plan but here i am
04:23and i thought you weren't you back from marimbula for a few weeks well that was the plan but with
04:28threw away and palmer off to paris somebody's got to prepare for this committee meeting in a few
04:32days right yes the email i'm so sorry i haven't replied i've been so distracted lately well a family
04:39wedding will do that do you that is true look while i've got you um this committee meeting uh let's
04:45keep it simple hey we don't need all the bells and whistles mm-hmm yes that would be a nice change yeah
04:50yeah it would so you'll keep a table aside for us mm-hmm no discuss this later he's gonna go
04:57how do you think it's okay hey Archie's asleep how does he think it's okay to maim my sister
05:03and then just go and then party at a wedding remains a bit strong well you've seen the fashion
05:09accessory you're sporting i'm trying to be positive and comments like that don't help
05:13sorry if you staying here is going to be an issue for you and sunny then i can manage that's not
05:18what i'm saying then what's the problem he caused your injury it was an accident you don't need to
05:25defend my terrible boyfriend he just wants to go to his friend's wedding come on i can get at least
05:31offer to stay yeah but why should he miss out i'd go in a heartbeat if i could he obviously feels the
05:36same way i cannot believe you're taking his side i can't believe you're making such a big deal out of
05:40this sunny's not a mind reader you can't be angry at him if you haven't told him that something's wrong
05:47i worship the ground that woman walks on i really do but sometimes being with her is exhausting
05:53uh-huh
05:57okay what am i missing here oh i'm not getting involved oh come on put me out of my misery
06:02so you seriously have no idea what the issue is no i mean i know she was worried about her sister but
06:08we worked through that at least i thought we did it would appear to me that she's upset that
06:15you're going to the wedding without her but she didn't say anything but maybe she didn't think she
06:21had to right let's try to keep our cool this time yeah fine by me sure lacey just want dad to be honest
06:34for once i was on wendell's trail until i was ordered to stand down by my superintendent what
06:40since when a few days ago why wendell got his lawyer involved he claimed there was a conflict of
06:48interest only a guilty man needs a lawyer so you backed off what choice did i have well you may be
06:54prepared to give up but i'm not we need to be smart about this i have been smart what does that mean
07:05lacey what have you done i called wendell
07:11i had no idea about this i left a message warning him that if he didn't come clean then i would take
07:17the story to the media you threatened him yeah i did which means there's only a matter of time until
07:23that man gets what he deserves
07:35hey hello hi i got you a coffee thank you i should not stay very long though this stuff i can't be left
07:42alone right how's she doing yeah pretty good under the circumstances good good um anyway so i think
07:51i misunderstood you i'm sorry okay let's let you want to have a chat it's my attitude back at the house
07:59yeah good place to start yeah i was just feeling like you were being kind of tone deaf when you were
08:06banging on about the wedding while you've got all this stuff going on with harper yeah exactly i get it
08:13i did and uh i'm sorry okay i apologize that's it we're good we're good you sure just because i i excel
08:27at missing signals you know this so if there's anything else at all you want to bring up please
08:31don't be subtle okay um since you're asking yep you're asking i'm asking i was a little bummed that
08:40you're going to go to the wedding without me but i have since spoken to harper and she has reminded
08:46me that that is not very fair on you right so do you want me to go or why you should go that's the
08:55right thing to do that's not what i asked them well i'm not going to demand that you stay here
08:59with me that's selfish okay well if you weren't worried about being judged then like what would
09:03you want me to do like what would you actually what do you want honestly
09:06what would you want to do like what would you want to do like what would you want to do like what
09:14i would want you to not though right that's what i thought in what universe was that a good idea
09:26what were you thinking look at least i'm doing something i used a fake name he's got no idea
09:31that i'm connected to mum are you sure he's got his lawyer involved who knows what they're digging up
09:36it's fine dad it's so far from fine is there anything else we need to know yeah good question
09:44lacy come on i watched his house for a night what you stalked him yeah did he see you no did you
09:54approach him no are you sure if he was at the funeral he knows what you look like i am sure dad
10:03good good are you kidding is that everything besides the ultimatum yeah let's just be clear
10:12what you did was blackmail pure and simple do you know how many laws you've broken this week
10:18stealing evidence unlawfully entering police premises and now extortion and because i did
10:24all of that we are the closest we've ever been to nailing wendell how do you figure because i'm
10:28putting pressure on him and what's he done in response he hasn't responded
10:35he hasn't replied yet because he's probably on a plane to the other side of the world never to be
10:40seen again well what would that mean would he get away with it i don't know what would happen
10:46do you have any idea what you've done you've put this entire investigation at risk
10:49lacy wait let her go
11:01okay oh you still sore yeah why are you doing laundry someone else to okay well i will do it you know you
11:10just relax so how'd you go with sunny oh oh great the wedding came up and um he asked me to be clear
11:21about what i wanted so were you yeah i told him i didn't want him to go that's not what we talked
11:27about i know i know and i was trying to be cool about him going and having fun with his friends and
11:33then you know he he asked me to be honest so then i had to be and what did he say nothing nothing
11:41well not nothing he said he needed to think about it okay i know i know and i think i should have
11:46lied because he's just he's gonna think that i'm selfish good to see you back on the tools oh thanks
11:58thanks yeah it's good to be back for the most part slow and steady have you actually worked in an er
12:05before ignore me but i'm here if you need thank you busy day oh it wasn't supposed to be but that's

17:04i'm not doing this again i'm done arguing that so am i which is why i need you to promise me
17:23you'll stop going rogue on this i know what i'm doing you're outside his house alone what if he'd seen
17:31you do you have any idea how dangerous that was i hired a car there was not one person that saw me
17:39i was completely safe you don't know that well i'm not okay with just letting this go like you seem to
17:45be that's not fair lacy and what's not fair about that your boss just wraps you over the knuckles and
17:50you just throw on the towel god forbid us all we break one rule there has not been one minute where
17:59i have not been investigating this case i don't want to hear it and i've kept it from you because
18:05you're my daughter and i'm trying to keep you out of trouble there's nothing i wouldn't do to keep you
18:14safe so no more secrets okay i need you to make that deal you have to agree to that as well
18:26okay that's fair
18:38just remember we have no idea what wendell is capable of so you need to stay away from him
18:44and let me handle this
18:54what's going on
18:57still no word from wendell
18:58lacy's agreed that putting any more pressure on wendell is just too risky isn't that right
19:04and you're 100 on board with this yes but only because dad promised to keep us in the loop in the
19:10investigation i thought you were ordered to back off on that i was ordered but i'm taking matters
19:14into my own hands and no one can find out about that understood no one
19:19you sure this is the right thing to do no i'm not sure but no one else is going to fight for this
19:26all right as long as you're careful
19:31at least now we're all on the same page

20:00answers now well i thought you just agreed to let dad handle it i said that i wouldn't go near wendell
20:05but that doesn't mean that me and you can't take medicine to our own hands look if you keep doing
20:11this imagine how much you'll remember
20:25you'll never believe it they let me out
