00:01Closer each day
00:04I'm in no way
00:08No way.
00:09The last person I was expecting to run into.
00:11If you've signed with the label,
00:12does that mean you're going to be hanging around the bay?
00:14I'm hoping so, yeah.
00:15You still think about me?
00:17Rarely.
00:18It's not like you were the love of my life or anything.
00:20Eddie was my world for a long time.
00:23So why'd you guys split?
00:24I ended it after mum died.
00:26Just need to see if there's still something there.
00:29Theo Poulos was my nephew.
00:31Losing him tore a hole in my heart.
00:34And I've been losing my mind trying to find someone else to blame.
00:39There is only one person to blame here.
00:42That's Craig Wendell.
00:49Proud of you.
00:51I've been invited to apply for a position at Doctors Without Borders.
00:54Seriously, Brie, that's great news.
00:57You thought that there was going to be a shot for you two down the track.
01:00It's just never going to happen.
01:01Brie, I'm happy for you.
01:03Everything I said about you deserving this opportunity, I mean it.
01:06Okay.
01:07But please don't go.
01:09Hey, we didn't have a meeting today, did we?
01:25Yeah.
01:26Didn't you get my text?
01:27No.
01:28No.
01:29My bad.
01:30Let me get changed and we can get in.
01:31Well played, sir. I am here to meet someone, though.
01:35Oh yeah? On a rival label, I hope?
01:37A friend, Jo. Apparently you used to live with her sister.
01:41Yeah, small world. What's the connection?
01:47Jo's my ex.
01:50Right.
01:51Leave it to it.
01:54Hey, sorry I'm late. I just had a crazy night shift at the hospital.
01:58A bunch of paperwork to fill out.
02:01I'm just glad you agreed to meet, even after a crazy night shift.
02:06You, of all people, know what this job means to me.
02:09Of course I do. I know I have no right asking you to stay.
02:12No, you don't. We haven't been together for months.
02:15It doesn't change the fact that you are the love of my life.
02:18I've always thought that there was still a chance for us.
02:22You haven't applied for the job yet, have you?
02:24No, no, you...
02:25What does that tell you?
02:27There must be a reason you're hesitating, otherwise you'd have done it by now.
02:34Hey...
02:36Everything okay?
02:39I was just leaving.
02:40At least say you'll think about it.
02:46Yep.
02:54Think about what?
02:55Hearing your statement, me making my own, I've had a good look at myself.
03:08And I realised how much you've been suffering.
03:10We lost Theo in such horrible circumstances.
03:23We did.
03:25I think I was just so caught up in my own pain that I blamed you and I had no right to do that.
03:31You were hurting me.
03:32No, there's no excuse.
03:35I'm so sorry, Lacey.
03:38Craig Wendell is the only one responsible here.
03:42I just, I hope that you can forgive me for treating you so terribly.
03:47There's nothing to forgive.
03:49What do you mean?
03:50I blamed myself too.
03:55Don't.
03:56That night that I went up to Wendell, I'm gonna regret that for the rest of my life.
04:06Come here, Dora.
04:07Come here.
04:13Working in the cardiothoracic unit can be pretty intense at times.
04:17Be honest, you love it.
04:20Am I that obvious?
04:21Yeah, you got that dorky smile going on when you get excited about stuff.
04:25Okay, so I'm a loser who likes their job, so what?
04:28Hey, no judgment. I'm the same with teaching.
04:31I mean, I know I'm not saving lives.
04:33No, I'm sure you were.
04:35I remember how much those kids loved you even when you were just doing placements at uni.
04:38Those kids were only a few years younger than me at the time.
04:41Yeah, didn't stop you from calling yourself Mr. Shepherd though.
04:44That was when I was living in that share house on York Street, right?
04:46You mean the fungal palace? The mould in that place was out of control.
04:50It smelled so bad.
04:52Yeah, why do you think I got you all those scented candles?
04:54And here I was thinking you were a hopeless romantic.
05:01So, your dad said you haven't been seeing anyone?
05:03His ears must be burning.
05:09Oh yeah? What does the old man want?
05:16Hey, Dad. What's going on?
05:19I didn't want to worry you, but before I take this equipment back, I wanted to talk to you.
05:24About what?
05:30Doing a victim impact statement.
05:32Lacey and Leah have already recorded theirs.
05:38Now I know what a big deal it would be for you to do.
05:42And I would completely understand if you didn't want to do one.
05:47Of course I want to.
05:49I want to be part of sending Wendell away for a long time.
05:52Doing these statements can be really confronting.
05:56Lacey and Leah got through theirs, didn't they?
05:58Yeah, but it's different.
05:59And I'm in a much better place at the moment.
06:02I haven't had a panic attack in a long time.
06:05Okay.
06:07Camera's set up.
06:09We can do it whenever you're ready.
06:13Just, uh, give me a second to get changed.
06:17I mean, it was hard enough making this decision for myself about whether I should go or not.
06:23And then Remy goes and puts that on me.
06:25Why?
06:27We're barely in each other's lives anymore.
06:29You know why, it's because he never stopped loving you.
06:31Oh yeah, he said that.
06:32He tried to take it from his best mate, it's true.
06:35But it doesn't matter how much we care about each other.
06:39I've tried.
06:41We've tried.
06:45But like, what would you do?
06:47No, no, no, no.
06:48I'm not going to answer that for you.
06:49It's your life, your decision, right?
06:52Yeah.
06:54I've actually really got to go though.
06:55Um, Eddie and Remy meet me at salt.
06:57So, um, you going to be okay?
06:58Yeah, I'll be fine.
06:59Okay.
07:00Yeah, you go.
07:01Hmm.
07:02Before I do, can I just ask?
07:05Does Remy have a point?
07:08Why are you hesitating?
07:10Well, I'm told that Customs will release the gear any day now.
07:11So once that's done, all we've got to do is set it up and we're good to go.
07:25It's still hard to believe I'm doing this.
07:29You better believe it.
07:30It's equipment's top notch too.
07:31Can't wait to lay down my first track.
07:33Yeah, me too.
07:36There you are.
07:37Mate.
07:38Um, Eddie, can you give us two sacks?
07:40Sure.
07:41I'll get us another round.
07:42Cheers mate.
07:46What did Bruce say?
07:47Nah, we're not doing this.
07:48Come on mate, just tell me what the vibe was.
07:51Work it out for yourself.
07:52You confused the hell out of her.
07:54That was a lot to put on her.
07:57Yes, I know.
07:58But what am I supposed to do?
08:00I'm not letting her go without a fight.
08:05So are there, uh, any specific guidelines I should stick to?
08:10Just state your name first and then talk about the accident and how it's impacted you.
08:25Do you need to be here while I do this?
08:29No, but I do need to collate it all for the DPP.
08:34Then I think I can take it from here.
08:36I'll call you if I need you.
08:40Okay.
08:51Thanks.
08:53Whoa!
08:54Hey!
08:55Someone's in a hurry.
08:56Sorry, I'm a little bit all over the shop today.
08:58Anything I can help with?
09:00Oh, well, I've been offered a life-changing job opportunity, so there's that.
09:05Truth.
09:06Well, I'm happy for you.
09:07These things don't come along every day.
09:09That is very true.
09:10I'll tell you something else.
09:11Mm-hmm.
09:12A top-notch doc like you.
09:14They'll be lucky to have you.
09:16Thanks, Alf.
09:17No, no, no.
09:18That really means a lot.
09:20What's with the hold-up, mate?
09:21I got an email from one of my student's parents.
09:22The kid was having a panic about an assessment.
09:23They had to sort it out.
09:24Oh, well, not for sorting.
09:25Now, Sonny and I have been talking.
09:26We want to get you out there playing gigs in a few weeks' time.
09:27Cool.
09:28You got any venues in mind?
09:29No, just a spot.
09:30Yeah?
09:31Yeah, check it out.
09:32Yeah?
09:33Yeah, why not?
09:34A restaurant gig?
09:35Mate, we've had a full band in here playing over a hundred times.
09:36I mean, we launched Kirby in here.
09:37Yeah, yeah.
09:38And then the vibe totally changes at night.
09:39It's actually, it's very you.
09:40If you say so.
09:41Trust me, mate, I know the owner.
09:42She's going to love your sound.
09:43Yeah, going to love it.
09:44Well, it looks like we have a gig to set it up.
09:45Ah, boys, I've got to run.
09:46Let me guess, Brie.
09:47Yeah, she wants to talk.
09:48Rain check.
09:49I swear.
09:50If my ex called, I'd come running.
09:51Awesome.
09:52See you guys.
09:53Bye.
09:54Bye.
09:55Bye.
09:56Bye.
09:57Bye.
09:58Bye.
09:59Bye.
10:00Bye.
10:01Bye.
10:02Bye.
10:03Bye.
10:04Bye.
10:05Bye.
10:06Bye.
10:07Bye.
10:08Bye.
10:09Bye.
10:10Bye.
10:11Bye.
10:12Bye.
10:13Bye.
10:15Yay.
10:16Peeled me in earlier.
10:19You two are as bad as each other.
10:20Cheers to that.
10:22And to your first gig under the back on track.
10:28I'm the girls....
10:29Why don't I grab us some coffee?
10:31Oh, this one here's one of my favourite photos of him...
10:36Leaves the hair.
10:37I know oczywiście...
10:38Yeah I am.
10:39ttriles.
10:40That's a turn up for the books.
10:41I know, it's just heaven...
10:43Well, from where I'm sitting, I'd say things were definitely on me up.
10:47I'm sorry, I really do.
10:50Oh, Dad, come sit.
10:53Hey, darling.
10:56Lacey and I had a talk, and I apologize for the way I've treated her.
11:02I'm glad to hear it.
11:04And I'd like to extend the apology to you, too.
11:07Thank you, Leah. I appreciate that.
11:11It's your home?
11:13Yeah, maybe give us some space for now.
11:15Why?
11:15She's recording a victim impact statement.
11:18Oh, she's doing one, too.
11:19She insisted.
11:21Okay.
11:22It's her decision. We've got to respect that.
11:24But do you think she's going to be all right?
11:26Getting out your version of events has obviously helped you two move on.
11:30I have faith it'll do the same for Jo.
11:37I am left alongside silence
11:41So these questions on my mind
11:44Who cries when the curtain calls?
11:51Hi.
11:53Hi.
11:54Thank you for meeting me.
11:57I know that you've got a lot going on with the label.
12:00Oh, it's nothing. I can't wait.
12:04Mummy, I will always love you.
12:08But...
12:09Go on.
12:10Aren't you?
12:11Yeah.
12:11You encouraged me to do this once, remember?
12:17And I might not get this opportunity again.
12:20And I need to make this decision for me.
12:24My life on my terms.
12:26No one else's.
12:28Yep.
12:29I get it.
12:31I'm happy for you.
12:33Really?
12:34Yes.
12:35Congratulations.
12:37No one deserves this more than you.
12:47I better get going.
12:49I've got a lot to do.
12:51Yeah, I bet.
12:54I'll see you before I go, okay?
12:56Yep.
12:56Feels like it's all over and we can finally move on.
13:26Maybe.
13:27Especially now that Lee's apologised to me.
13:30Seriously?
13:31I know.
13:32I can hardly believe it myself.
13:35Wow.
13:36That's huge, Lace.
13:38It doesn't bring Theo back, but...
13:41Definitely helps.
13:44You know what?
13:46I have a really good feeling about the future.
13:51What does that look?
13:54What look?
13:55That I've got a secret look?
13:59Okay.
14:05I went on a lunch date with Eddie.
14:07Like a real date?
14:09Well, we didn't clarify what it was, but it definitely felt like that.
14:13What about Tane?
14:15I kind of put that on pause.
14:18What?
14:19Shh!
14:20Keep your voice down.
14:21I don't want Dad to know about this.
14:22Spill now.
14:24Well, I...
14:25I just...
14:26I don't know.
14:27I want to see if there's still a spark there with Eddie.
14:31Is there?
14:32I don't know.
14:33Maybe.
14:34I love this video!
14:35Oh my gosh, stop!
14:37It's not a big deal.
14:38It's not a big deal.
