00:00Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08You like him, he likes you
00:10His story's sorted out, dude
00:12There's something good going, then
00:14When Eddie showed up, I just...
00:18Was confused
00:20I'm so sorry for mucking you around
00:22I chose a long day
00:24Losing Theo tore a hole in my heart
00:28And us
00:30I love you, but we both know where this is going
00:32I'm just gonna get out of the bay for a while
00:34You can move back home, I won't be there
00:36Where you going? Cyprus
00:38Unlike some people else actually trying to save this marriage
00:40Who said you didn't want to be in the marriage in the first place?
00:42Okay, I said something I shouldn't have
00:46But you've been acting like you didn't want to be a part of this marriage for months
00:49In fact, I reckon you've been waiting for me to say it
00:52So you can use it as an excuse to run
00:54Leah, Leah! There she goes, good on ya!
00:57The only reason you and Leah can behave like this is because you've got a revolving door here
01:01Well that ends now
01:03Pack your bags, go home and sort out your marriage
01:05Guess who?
01:07Oh!
01:09Could it be the new ED doctor at the Northern District?
01:13Well now that you've mentioned it
01:15What, really? They gave you the job already?
01:17Uh, no, but I gave a great interview so like, any minute now
01:21Wow, okay
01:23Well if our kid's head is anywhere as near as big as your ego right now
01:27I'm genuinely terrified about the births
01:29Well honestly, it went well
01:31Though they did say they were surprised I applied
01:33They weren't the only ones
01:35Are you sure you're okay?
01:36With me pursuing this?
01:37Absolutely
01:38Cause if you're not or it's too much change
01:40Levi, listen, you're excited babe, I'm excited
01:42It's just a trial to start with, right?
01:44I am excited
01:45Good
01:46Thank you
01:47So when are you going to find out?
01:48Uh, they said by the end of the week
01:49I feel good about this
01:50I feel like real change is coming
01:51Well one thing's for sure, baby
01:52Change is definite
01:53Change is definite
01:54Hey Marilyn, is Lea back yet?
01:56Don't I haven't seen her?
01:57Is Lea back now?
01:58Hey, she's laughing
01:59My man's not a bit old
02:00Huh?
02:01Yeah, who do you?
02:02I'm excited
02:03Babe, I'm excited
02:04It's just a trial to start with
02:05It's just a trial to start with, right?
02:06I am excited
02:07Good
02:08Thank you
02:09So when are you going to find out?
02:10Uh, they said by the end of the week
02:11I feel good about this
02:12I feel like real change is coming
02:13Well one thing's for sure, baby
02:16Change is definite
02:20Hey Marilyn, is Lea back yet?
02:21I don't I haven't seen her
02:23yet? No, I haven't seen her. She needs to get home. Justin's moved back there. He's not staying
02:28at us anymore? No, I sent him packing. Ah, there you are. Look, you need to go home now. I can't.
02:35I've got things to do here. Marilyn can look after this joint. Yes, yes, I can. Yeah, you better go
02:40home, darling. What's the rush? What's happened? Well, why don't you just go home and find out for
02:44yourself, eh? Hey. You've got to give me time to pack before you move back in. I haven't
03:02even done that and my flight's tomorrow. Alf kicked me out. Told me to come home and fix
03:08our marriage. So that's what I'm doing here. Because Alf kicked you out or because you
03:18want to? I could have gone to a hotel, Leah, but I'm here. Okay? I'm here. You just accused
03:28me of some awful things and now you're saying you want to fix our marriage. I think we both
03:32said a lot of awful things to each other. How do you think talking, yet again, is going
03:36to fix anything? I don't know. But I'm here. I'm willing to try. So what do you say? You
03:46want to talk this through? Or are we over?
03:53You okay? What? This is nice. What is this? This. In public. Yeah, it is. Makes it feel
04:09real. It does. Finally. Do you feel like continuing this and shouting me something to eat? Do you
04:16have enough time before your next class starts? You know what? The boss just gave me the
04:21rest of the afternoon off. This guy sounds so cool. You have to introduce me.
04:28Hey, Dad. Hi, sweetheart. Doobu. Tanu. Everything alright? Yeah. Yeah, we're good. Good. Great. I should
04:52keep moving. Oh, um, will you be home for dinner? Probably not. Right. Of course. Yeah. I'll see
05:10you later on then.
05:11Yeah. It's so awkward sometimes. Yeah, tell me about it. I thought he was going to ask
05:22him to sleep over or something. Look at that. Oh, good timing. I should let Jo know I'm probably
05:29going to leave the unit. Okay, they walk in. That's the first thing you think of? Well,
05:34yeah. I've got to let her know what's happening. Okay, babes, you don't even have the job yet.
05:38It could be embarrassing if things don't go in place. Yeah, but it's a professional
05:40courtesy. No, no, don't. Don't go. No. Don't do that to yourself. And you're doing it.
05:46Guys, how we doing? Listen, have you got a minute to talk shop? Oh, you don't think you
05:52could wait until we're actually at work, do you? Well, it's pretty important and I just
05:55don't want you to hear it through the grapevines. Look, it's fine. I'll get us around, eh?
05:59Okay, thanks. Nice tie.
06:05Tāne parata. Mackenzie Booth.
06:07What's happening over there? Oh, you know, just getting some drinks. A red wine and beer,
06:12please. No, no way. Not until you tell me what's going on. Do I really have to, right?
06:17Yes, of course you have to. Okay, so is this like a proper date or is this like a let's chat
06:21till we figure it out kind of thing? Actually, you know what? I don't think we're going to stay.
06:24Can I get a bottle of wine to go, please? Oh, sure. Would you like a nice red for dinner
06:30or champagne for breakfast in the morning? You know what? On second thought, I've got
06:35some wine at home. No, darn it. Come on. Don't. Oh, wow. Yeah, that is going to be a
06:40big change. Yeah. I don't have the job yet. Oh, I'm a great doctor like you. I'm sure
06:47that's not going to be a problem. Anyway, I've got to go. I'm going to make sure that my
06:51replacement is up to the task. I've actually got a few ex-colleagues in mind.
06:54Believe it or not. It's too late. I've already booked my wine and I did that because you said
07:00you don't want to be part of this marriage anymore. I felt like I didn't, but Alf seems
07:04to believe there's something worth saving here and I'm starting to think he's right
07:07because I don't want you to go. I don't. You said when I was in hospital that you'd be
07:19right here waiting for me. Now you can't get away quick enough. Have you thought that
07:24me leaving might help us?
07:26How? It'll give us some clarity. A chance to figure out what we really want.
07:32I know what I want. I want to fight for this marriage. Fight being the operative word.
07:40You know, it doesn't have to be like that. Justin, we have tried a hundred times.
07:44I know. I know. Which must mean neither of us want this to end. But do we?
07:52Let's do it right this time.
07:54I'll have to go.
08:04Yep. Quick, let me in before we get interrupted again.
08:07Come on. Come in. Welcome. Come on.
08:11Thank you. Oh, wow. Whatever your cooking smells amazing.
08:16Did you do all this yourself or is it just sight right here to take away?
08:19I know my way around the kitchen. Thank you very much.
08:22So do I. Can I do anything to help? Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
08:26I am cooking for my girlfriend and she doesn't need to lift a finger.
08:29Your girlfriend? Sorry, are you talking about me or is someone else on the way?
08:34Yeah, actually someone else is coming so if we can make this quick.
08:39So I'm your girlfriend now?
08:42Is that a problem?
08:45No. If anything, it should happen sooner.
08:49No. If anything, it should happen sooner.
08:55Feel your heart beat through the roof.
09:02Why isn't Tarnet replying to my text?
09:06If you have an idea, why don't we mind our own business?
09:08Because I have been that guy's sounding board for weeks now.
09:12Yeah, I know.
09:13Yeah, I can't even tell you how many drinks I've poured him, okay?
09:16So he has to repay his tab and gossip, does he?
09:18Yeah, actually he does. Big time.
09:20So how'd you go with Jo?
09:22You found out about the job? Was she okay?
09:24Oh, she's devastated.
09:25Oh.
09:26She's losing the greatest boss she'll ever have.
09:27But no, she was happy for me.
09:29Well, maybe we should call her and find out for sure.
09:33This is my colleague we're talking about.
09:35Yes, but it's a workplace and the golden rule is if you see something, you should say something.
09:41Why are you so invested?
09:44Oh my God.
09:45Manu's my friend.
09:47And he deserves to be happy.
09:51I got everything I ever wanted.
09:53And he deserves that too.
09:56Can't argue with that.
10:11If Levi does get the job, I'm going to miss him.
10:14Oh, you'll still see him around the hospital, though.
10:16No, doctors in the ED don't really have time for anything other than a crisis.
10:20Definitely sounds like a change of pace for him.
10:22Yeah, I'm not even sure why he wants to move.
10:24He's such a respected surgeon.
10:26Yeah, for good reason.
10:27Did you know he saved Archie's life before he was even born?
10:30Mmm.
10:31And utero surgery.
10:33The other staff have told me all about it.
10:35Must have been a stressful time.
10:37Yeah, it was pretty stressful.
10:39But thanks to Levi, it all turned out okay.
10:42He was amazing after the train crash too.
10:46Especially with you.
10:50Okay, let's talk about it.
10:53Why didn't you tell me that Eddie was lying?
10:57Uh, well, I mean, if he was the one you wanted to be with.
11:03And yet, here I am.
11:07The only reason things went as far as they did is because I thought he saved me.
11:15And he let me think that.
11:17And actually, it was you.
11:19That's not what you're here, is it?
11:23I don't want you to feel like you owe me something or you're here out of obligation.
11:26Okay, I'm going to stop you right there.
11:28I'm here because I want to be.
11:30Well, it's good.
11:47Can you just stop and look at me so we can have this conversation?
11:50You said you didn't want to be in this marriage.
11:52I said I can't be here at that same place.
11:54And I told you that I just want to talk about it.
11:57Obviously, I want to be in this marriage.
11:59The question is, do you?
12:01I'm allowed to go and visit my son.
12:03Yes, of course you are. Thank you.
12:04But can we sort things out before you go?
12:06Yeah, Luke isn't getting any younger.
12:08Right.
12:09She'll be a teenager before I know it.
12:10Now you're just making excuses.
12:11You said you needed space.
12:13Now I need some for myself.
12:18Well, I don't even know how long you're going for.
12:20I don't either.
12:22Six months, maybe.
12:23Maybe.
12:24Six months.
12:26Serious?
12:28That's not a holiday.
12:29That's not a break.
12:30Six months.
12:33That's separation.
12:35That's where we're at.
12:37What am I meant to do?
12:38I just sit on my hands and wait for you to come home, yeah?
12:42I'll get that.
12:47Hey.
12:48Just on my way past.
12:49I'm going to check in.
12:50Thanks.
12:51I'm going.
12:52Oh, sorry.
12:53I thought you were here by yourself.
12:54No, no.
12:55That's totally okay.
12:56Come in.
12:57I'll get you a drink.
12:58No, no.
12:59I just wanted to pop my head in and say hello.
13:00No, no, no.
13:01I'm just about to cook.
13:02Do you know you're welcome to stay?
13:03I'm not taking no for an answer.
13:04Come on.
13:05Sit down.
13:09Oh, thank you.
13:11Oh, this is the kind of dinner I'm going to get.
13:13I won't be turning down an invite here anytime soon.
13:16Oh, so you're just here for the food, are you?
13:22The company's pretty good too.
13:27It's getting late.
13:29It is.
13:31I should probably get home then.
13:34Those rules you have in place.
13:37No longer an issue.
13:38Three.
13:39You win just to calm me down.
13:47We've been chasing sunset.
13:49It's been this way since we've met.
13:52This is you and me on top of the world.
13:56So you're heading overseas tomorrow?
14:06To Cyprus.
14:08To visit my son and some extended family.
14:12So the trip's been planned for a while then?
14:14Oh, guess again.
14:16You actually inspired me.
14:19How do I manage that?
14:20Well, when you mentioned how tough it could be in a small town.
14:23I realised I had to go.
14:26Yeah.
14:27I wasn't suggesting that you move away.
14:29That really struck a chord.
14:31Oh.
14:36Well, I've got an early start in the morning, so I should get going.
14:39Oh, really?
14:40Are you sure you don't want to save some dinner?
14:42No, no.
14:43I'm sure you've got lots you need to do, but, um, safe travels.
14:48Thanks.
14:49I'll walk you out.
14:53Sorry mate, I had no idea.
14:56Well, Leah's been looking for an excuse to bail.
15:00She would have found it with or without you.
15:09Okay.
15:11Okay.
15:12I'm gonna go to bed.
15:16Here you are.
15:17Please.
15:18I've got to get up early...
15:24...night.
15:25I need another place to escape this train.
15:27Closer, I can't be far away from getting it back.
15:35I need another place to escape this dream.
15:45So you have the bank details, payroll information.
15:49Yep, all set.
15:51I guess it's congratulations on your promotion.
15:54You can rely on me, Mia.
15:56Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
15:58And of course, call me if there's any issues.
16:01Yeah, well, I guess I should say goodbye.
16:04Thank you so much for everything.
16:06Bye, John.
16:07And you.
16:10I wish you'd reconsider.
16:12I will let you know when my flight's landed.
16:14Take care, Ray.
16:17So you haven't changed your mind about the trip then?
16:20No, and I won't get a chance to say goodbye to Lacey, sorry.
16:24I'll pass it on.
16:24Good luck to you and your family.
16:27Good luck to you.
16:29All right, well, bye.
16:31See ya.
16:32Bye, darling.
16:32Hey, are you hungry?
16:44We're gonna make us some breakfast.
16:46Oh, breakfast and dinner.
16:48There's no way you can keep yourself forever.
16:51Watch me.
16:53Yeah.
16:55Breakfast would be nice.
16:56But fast.
16:58I think that's you again.
17:12Mm-hmm.
17:14I'm ignoring it, okay?
17:16What if it's Archie?
17:17Mm-hmm.
17:19All right.
17:21I bet you it's not.
17:26Yep.
17:26I can confirm it's nothing but with Archie.
17:29It's just Mackenzie again.
17:30No.
17:31No, really.
17:36Can you believe Tanya has still not texted me?
17:40Oh, you know he's allowed to keep secrets.
17:43No, no, no, no.
17:44Not from me, he's not.
17:45You do realise you're keeping a huge secret from him.
17:48Oh, come on.
17:49That is completely different.
17:51You know what?
17:51You need to respect people's decisions, Mackenzie.
17:54Oh, okay, Dr. Levi.
17:55Well, how about I give Tanya a break
17:56and I don't text him for a whole hour?
17:58Oh, such for three.
18:01I think so.
18:05Mate, tell me she hasn't left yet, please.
18:07No, she's still here, but not for much longer.
18:09Look, I have tried talking to her,
18:10but she is not having a bar of it.
18:12Well, try a bit harder.
18:13I don't think there's any point.
18:16Leah?
18:17I booked my taxi.
18:18It'll be here in five minutes.
18:21Alf, what are you doing here?
18:23What do you think I'm doing here?
18:24I'm here to have one last-ditch chance
18:26at talking sense into you
18:27because you seem to be serious about this.
18:29I am.
18:31What?
18:31I kicked him out of my house
18:32so he'd have to come back here
18:33and you two could sort it out.
18:35I'm going to see my son.
18:36Do you want to save your marriage or not?
18:38Alf, please.
18:39I don't want our last conversation together
18:41to be an argument.
18:43Neither do I.
18:44Trust me when I tell you
18:45I'm doing what's right for me.
18:54The love that I'm looking for
18:57will keep me apart.
18:59Here we go.
19:01Everything all right here?
19:02Anything I need to know about?
19:04You're very attentive this morning, Maz.
19:06Well, always.
19:07But, yes, I am the manager now
19:09so I need to keep on top of these things.
19:11Parting gift from Leah, I take it?
19:14Yes, yes.
19:14An unwanted one.
19:16Right.
19:17Then I think I owe you an apology.
19:19Apparently it was me
19:20who gave her the idea
19:21to leave in the first place.
19:23Ah.
19:24And I made it easy for her
19:25by accepting the job.
19:28That's work.
19:29I've got to take this.
19:30Oh, sure, sure.
19:33David Langham.
19:39Can I ask why?
19:43Well, can you let them know
19:44that I'm disappointed?
19:45Yabby Creek could have done
19:46with the volunteers.
19:48Is everything okay?
19:52I tried to have a program
19:53implemented at the station
19:54and it just got denied.
19:58Must be disappointing.
19:59Yeah.
20:00I don't think I'm the only one
20:02who's going to be disappointed.
20:10Taxi will be here soon.
20:14Please don't go.
20:15Justin, I don't know what to say
20:20to make you stay here
20:21so we can talk about this more.
20:23Justin, come on, please.
20:24I don't know how many different ways
20:26I can say this.
20:27I think the break will do us...
20:28No, no, but I don't think
20:29it's going to do us any good.
20:31Try talking.
20:32I think time away
20:33will give us perspective.
20:34No.
20:35Justin.
20:36No.
20:37No.
20:37Just...
20:38You can't just walk out the door
20:39and put our marriage on pause
20:41for who knows how long.
20:42I'm serious now.
20:44You get on that plane...
20:46We're done.
20:47I keep getting these pins and needles
20:56in my hair.
20:57You know, it goes numb.
20:58I keep wondering
20:59how long it's going to be
20:59until I can't play guitar.
21:01You've spoken to the neurosurgeon
21:02about this.
21:03Listen, Rem,
21:03I think it is such a great idea
21:05for you to do gigs here again.
21:06Mac.
21:07Think about how much
21:08of a success they were.
21:09So shut up!
21:10Please!
21:11And leave me alone!
21:13Rem,
21:14something is definitely wrong.
21:15Definitely.
21:15I mean,
21:15since when does that guy
21:16turn down gigs?
21:17Look,
21:18why don't you sit down?
21:19There's something
21:20I've been meaning to tell you.
