00:00There's another car, it's coming the other way.
00:10It's going too fast, it's swerving.
00:13Can you describe the vehicle?
00:14It's a great Mercedes, the C&M on the license plate.
00:17That was the tech team.
00:18They traced a vehicle based on the partial plates I remembered.
00:21Councillor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Lane.
00:24Thanks for coming in.
00:25Where were you on the day of the accident?
00:26Well, I would have to talk to my assistant.
00:29I mean, can you remember where you were two years ago?
00:32I was receiving the worst phone call of my life.
00:34You knew the victim.
00:35What makes you ask that?
00:36In my line of work, we learn to read people.
00:39I can relate to that.
00:41Being elected official, we have calendars and schedules around that time, right?
00:46I don't have that information on hand, but I can get my team to look into it.
00:51It was like he recognised me.
00:52When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:54If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed Mum.
00:57And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:59Shh.
01:20I didn't say anything.
01:23What's all this about?
01:24I'm getting in touch with my body.
01:28Oh.
01:29And before you say anything, I know it's too soon to tell if the implant's taken or not.
01:34I just, I really feel like we'll be lucky this time.
01:37You know?
01:41Think I'm bloated at all?
01:45Not even a little bit?
01:47I'm excited too.
01:49But I think it's important that we just stay patient.
01:53Okay.
01:54I know.
01:55And we will be.
01:56And I will be.
01:59Give me your hand.
02:02Freeze with me.
02:06You're going up.
02:23Councillor Wendell, Sergeant Lang.
02:34Yeah, I was hoping you've had time to check your diary and staff roster for the date we discussed.
02:38Yeah, I appreciate you're busy.
02:44But as I mentioned, this is a very serious matter.
02:47This case has a fatality involved.
02:53And you'll get back to me today?
02:56Great.
02:57I look forward to hearing from you then.
03:01Thanks, Councillor.
03:01Are you insane?
03:14I'm not going to get caught this time.
03:15And if I'm lucky, there'll be a different officer on duty.
03:18You can't do this.
03:18You're just going to go and, what, lie your way into Dad's office?
03:21I need you to get Dad away from the station.
03:23Are you kidding me?
03:24Again, Jo.
03:24Any other ideas, feel free to share them.
03:26Hi, you're home early?
03:29Yeah, got through my stuff a bit quicker than I thought.
03:32Hey, how you doing?
03:33Good to see you again.
03:33Hey.
03:35So, what are you up to?
03:37We're just going to go for a walk.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Cool.
03:43See ya.
03:44See ya.
03:45Hey, um, you two aren't fighting again, are you?
03:48No, no, we're just talking.
03:50It's complicated, though.
03:52I don't really want to mess us up.
03:53Yeah, I get that.
03:55See you back here?
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:56See you back here.
04:21Bye-bye.
04:22Bye.
04:23Bye.
04:24Bye.
04:25Hey Jo, I'm kind of busy this way.
04:46No, sorry, I need you to come home.
04:49Why, what's happened? Are you okay?
04:52Yeah, I'm alright.
04:53It's just, sorry, no, I'm, I'm not alright.
04:56I just- Dad, Dad, Dad, Joe's having a panic attack.
04:59I really don't know what to do.
05:00We just need you to come home now.
05:01Lacey, I need you to stay with her, okay?
05:04I'm leaving now.
05:09If you get a call from Greg Wendell's office, let me know.
05:12Will do.
05:15Can't decide between the blue dress or the flirty yellow one.
05:19It'd be good to compliment each other for photos, Justin.
05:23Justin.
05:24Yeah.
05:25What are you wearing for the wedding?
05:26A suit.
05:27Oh, you guys have got so easy.
05:29Hey, how'd you go with the garrets?
05:31All good.
05:32Placed the vault gauge on the Falcon and I've ordered the spare parts.
05:36Great, I could not get everything done without your help, mate.
05:38Yeah, don't you forget it.
05:39How was your meeting with Remy?
05:41Yeah, it was really good.
05:42I'm just crunching the numbers now and everything we need to get the label up and running.
05:45Nothing says rock and roll like a budget.
05:47I still get to do the good stuff.
05:49You and Lacey should come to this gig tomorrow night.
05:51I'll buy the drinks.
05:51Please say yes, I don't have to.
05:53Yeah, sure.
05:54Just let me check with her.
05:56Um, Marilyn said that she was in here again with Jo.
05:59That must be a good sign.
06:00Yeah, it's definitely a step forward.
06:02Hmm.
06:03Um, I need to close up the coffee cart.
06:05Do you want to come for a walk?
06:05Yeah, sure.
06:06Actually, I've got an idea I want to run past you.
06:08Really?
06:09Yeah.
06:10See you guys soon.
06:11Bye.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Jo, okay?
06:20Talk to me.
06:21What happened?
06:22I just started thinking about the accident and it just all got on top of me.
06:26Okay, okay.
06:26Let's sit down.
06:31I'm sorry, Dad.
06:32Hey, hey, hey.
06:34You have nothing to apologise for.
06:37So, any idea what brought this on?
06:39You're right, I think the hypnotherapy is really stirring things up.
06:44Well, you've been really strong.
06:46You're going to get through this, okay?
06:51Where's your sister?
06:54She had to leave.
06:55Well, I asked her to wait.
06:57What's so important that she couldn't be here for you?
07:00Oh, so Dad's not here?
07:02Yeah, no, sorry.
07:03I'm not sure how long it'll be.
07:04Oh, that's such a shame I'll miss him.
07:05I just need to really quickly grab something from his office.
07:08I've lost my house key again and he always leaves a spare here.
07:12And I don't know what drives him crazy.
07:14Yeah, if you don't mind, you might have to wait till he gets back.
07:16Oh, I would, but I've really got somewhere I need to be.
07:18And I'm not going to be home till late.
07:19And I don't really want to get home and knock on his door at 1am.
07:23Have you seen Dad's grumpy side?
07:26It's okay.
07:28You can say it.
07:29Your father's always fair.
07:31Totally.
07:32Look, why don't we just call him?
07:33That'd be easier.
07:34You know what?
07:35Um, it's okay.
07:36You can go through.
07:37Are you sure?
07:38Thank you so much.
07:39I appreciate that.
07:40I'll shoot him a text now and let him know.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Hey, yeah, absolutely.
08:04Yeah, yeah.
08:05Yeah, no worries.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Hey, are you busy tomorrow?
08:35Uh, working in the morning, but then I'm free.
08:37Why?
08:38I was thinking of heading into Yabby Creek to grab a suit for the wedding.
08:40Yeah.
08:41And you've always got great taste.
08:42Are you trying to butt a meal?
08:43No, it's the truth.
08:45Well, in that case, I have to say yes, but Lacey isn't free.
08:48Oh, I didn't ask.
08:49It's great she's spending so much time with Jo, but they're both so stressed out.
08:53Uh, you said there was new information on the crash.
08:56Has David made any progress?
08:57I don't know, but Lacey needs a break.
08:59Yeah.
08:59Which is the other thing that I wanted your opinion on.
09:02Yeah.
09:02I'm thinking of booking a holiday for her and I after the wedding.
09:05What do you reckon about Tasmania?
09:06Oh, Tassie's beautiful.
09:08I'll be nice for you guys just to get away and relax.
09:10Yeah, that's the plan.
09:12Hire a car, go around exploring.
09:14Aw, Lacey will love that.
09:16Does that mean that you're going to be away for your birthday?
09:19Yeah, might be.
09:20Another little celebration then.
09:21I just want to book everything in first before I tell her.
09:24Make it a surprise.
09:25You really love it, don't you?
09:27Yeah, I do.
09:32So, you mentioned the hypnotherapy.
09:35Have you remembered anything else from the accident?
09:38No, I haven't.
09:39What about you?
09:41Any news on the investigation?
09:43No, nothing.
09:45You will keep chasing this, right?
09:47Of course I will.
09:51Who's that?
09:54Uh, it's just Lacey checking in.
09:57The least she can do after disappearing before?
10:00Dad, she said she had a work thing she couldn't get out of.
10:03I'm just happy you two are talking to each other.
10:06Me too.
10:08Because I am worried I'll stuff it up.
10:09How?
10:11I don't know if I say the wrong thing or
10:15disagree with her on something.
10:17I'll lose her again.
10:19We both will.
10:19You can't live your life waiting for the axe to fall.
10:22It's gonna be okay.
10:25You should get back to work.
10:27No, there's no hurry.
10:29Dad, I promise I'm alright.
10:32Maybe some alone time will be good for me.
10:40And call me if you need anything.
10:41I will.
10:41So, I've been thinking about the wedding, have you decided what you're gonna wear yet?
11:07No.
11:08Well, isn't it time you started thinking about that?
11:11It's not my day.
11:12No one's gonna be looking at me.
11:13I'm gonna be looking at you.
11:16The last time I saw you all suited and booted was at Salt by the Sea.
11:19Oh, our first kiss, actually.
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:23Definitely not our love.
11:24Mm-hmm.
11:27This wedding's gonna be so perfect.
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:30Gosh, and even we're gonna be really happy together.
11:32It will be.
11:33It has to be.
11:35Hey, is this about the wedding?
11:37No, I don't know.
11:40My mood's all over the place.
11:41I don't know.
11:42Maybe it's a pregnancy almost kicking in.
11:45I'd be probably too soon to hope on that.
11:47Hey, you can feel however you want to feel.
11:50Okay.
11:51Yeah.
11:52Yeah.
12:07Sergeant Langham.
12:08Good afternoon.
12:09I'm calling to request you cease all communication with my client.
12:12Hold on, who am I talking to?
12:14My name is Kim Knight, and I represent Councillor Craig Wendell.
12:17My client...
12:18Right, well, I was just about to give him a call, actually.
12:20No doubt he's explained.
12:21I'm investigating a road for telly, and he was in the vicinity that day.
12:25Let's get this straight.
12:26Your partial plate does not place my client at the center.
12:29It's not conclusive, no.
12:31Sorry.
12:32When did the Councillor decide to seek legal representation?
12:35When you started unfairly targeting him, based on no evidence whatsoever.
12:39Hold on, hold on.
12:39Let's be clear.
12:40I'm not targeting your client.
12:42I'm exploring all possibilities.
12:44I disagree, and I think you'll find the law is on Craig's side.
12:47Noted.
12:51Anything else?
12:52Do not contact my client again.
12:54You want to talk to him, you go through me.
12:56Understood?
12:58Understood.
13:00I'll be in touch, Mr Knight.
13:02I'll be in touch.
13:04I'll be in touch.
13:05I'll be in touch.
13:08So what exactly did you tell him?
13:10Well, I told him about our evil plan to break into the station.
13:13What?
13:14I lied.
13:15Obviously.
13:16Told him you had to leave for work.
13:18Then you bought it?
13:19Of course he did, which made me feel even worse.
13:21I'm not going to lie to him again.
13:23If this is what it takes for you and me to have a relationship, I'm sorry.
13:25I just can't go there.
13:26Okay, it's okay.
13:27You don't want to cross that line.
13:29I get it.
13:30You do?
13:31Yeah, but I think that you should take a step back.
13:34I'll handle it.
13:35I'm sure you can, but I think we should both take a step back.
13:39Why?
13:40I want us to be a family again,
13:41and we can't do that if we start off by not being honest with Dad.
13:44You said it yourself.
13:45He's good at what he does.
13:46He's a dog with a bone who'll find the answers we need.
13:48Yeah, I know that he's going to keep trying.
13:50Then let's just leave him to it.
13:53Please.
13:56Okay.
13:59Lily, you let this go?
14:00Yeah, you're right.
14:02Dad's a cop?
14:04We'll figure it out.
14:05I didn't even ask.
14:06How'd you go to the station?
14:07Did you buy anything?
14:08Oh, it was a bust anyways.
14:10It was just some...
14:11a ruster and some old paperwork, so...
14:15Anyways, I said that I'd meet Theo at home, so I'm going to go.
14:19Are we good?
14:20Yeah, we're fine.
14:24Tell Theo I say hi.
14:26Okay, I promise I'm not getting ahead of myself.
14:42It just feels like every ache and every twinge,
14:46I'm wondering if it's a sign that I'm pregnant.
14:49It is hard to think about anything else.
14:51Oh, it's so impossible.
14:53Would helping me find a suit for the wedding serve as an adequate distraction?
14:57I just feel really tired.
14:59Maybe a bit nauseous?
15:01Okay.
15:01Could be the progesterone.
15:02I mean, the clinic did warn me about that.
15:05But why don't we go get a pregnancy test and find out together?
15:09Are you sure?
15:10Why not?
15:11Otherwise, you're going to keep torturing yourself.
15:14You want to know now too, don't you?
15:16You want to know anything.
15:17Oh.
15:18Okay, let's go.
15:23Jo.
15:28Jo, you home?
15:33Hey.
15:33Hey.
15:34I was wondering where you got to.
15:36I met up with Lacey again, actually.
15:39How'd that go?
15:41Well, I took your advice.
15:43I opened up to her about how I'm feeling.
15:46And?
15:47I was expecting her to blow up at me, but I think she actually listened.
15:51Well, that sounds positive.
15:54Who knows?
15:56Please keep going this way.
15:57Maybe we'll actually be a family again.
15:59I know how happy your mum would be to hear you say that.
16:02Anyway, I don't want to be late for work.
16:09You sure you want to work after the day you've had?
16:11Dad, I promise I'm fine.
16:14Okay?
16:24Superintendent, what can I do for you?
16:26Yes, I'm aware the case is closed.
16:37With respect, sir, I can explain.
16:40Wendell has serious questions he needs to answer.
16:56Hey, sorry I've been a while.
17:19It's cool.
17:21Just catching up with Leah.
17:23She says hi.
17:24Oh, you guys must have had a lot to talk about.
17:26Anything interesting?
17:27No, not really.
17:28What about you?
17:29I've just been looking at clothes that I don't really need to buy.
17:35How things could show?
17:36Yeah, it's tricky, but we just need to keep talking.
17:40We'll work it out.
17:44Proud of you.
17:46I know.
17:46I'm incredible.
17:54I know.
17:57Much Supreme.
17:59Oh, I think that one is mine, mate.
18:03Great mind, single eye.
18:05Thanks.
18:06You're welcome to join me later over at our place.
18:09Nah, I should get an early night.
18:11Thanks anyway.
18:12Bad day at work?
18:14I've had better.
18:15What's going on?
18:20Strictly between us.
18:25Got a lead on a driver who's in the area where my wife died.
18:28Do you think they had something to do with it?
18:33I think they caused the crash.
18:36It's going to be a huge relief for you all.
18:40Will be if I can prove it.
18:41You haven't spoken to them yet?
18:43Yeah, I did.
18:44Then the lawyer rang my boss and complained.
18:47I've been ordered to cease all inquiries.
18:49What?
18:50Why?
18:52It's a conflict of interests.
18:53It's not appropriate for me to be involved.
18:57They're going to follow a doctor, right?
18:59Oh, it won't be a priority.
19:00Especially since I currently have no evidence.
19:04Sorry, mate.
19:06Yeah, so am I.
19:23All the cracks starting to show Are we slowly just losing hope?
19:28Is this real or just a dream?
19:31Every day it's slowly sinking in Everything we built got torn apart by guilt
19:44All the cracks starting to show Are we slowly just losing hope?
19:53I'm sorry, Christina.
20:00I don't want to let you down.
20:06And I don't want to let our beautiful girls down.
20:08Hey, try not to be too disappointed if it's a negative result.
20:24Like I said, we've still got plenty of time to get a positive this round.
20:27Mackenzie.
20:44Congratulations.
20:50You're gonna be a dad.
20:52Stop it.
20:53Oh my god.
21:00Today is the day.
21:04I am so excited.
21:05Eden's hands is gonna be epic.
21:07Cash's buck's pretty solid too.
21:09Oh yeah?
21:10Keep telling yourself that, chump.
21:11Okay, and when you say it's a gentleman's club.
21:14Hey, don't worry.
21:15It's a classy place.
21:16I reckon we've spent way too much time worrying about what other people are expecting of us.
21:20This is our wedding.
21:20We should be able to stay and do whatever we want.
21:22Where are we going?
