00:00I have a brain tumour. You have to promise me you won't tell Eden.
00:11Come on, you can't keep this a secret forever.
00:13Just keep your mouth shut. It's not that hard.
00:15Did he say anything to you while I was gone?
00:17No. Not a word.
00:19We can't make him do anything. At the end of the day, it's his call.
00:22Mate, you promised. As you cannot know.
00:24She's your best mate, Remy. Why are you not telling this to her of all people?
00:27I know that you're not fixing an admin or an IT problem, so what is it?
00:32I'm trying to pull some strings with the police volunteer program.
00:36That is amazing. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, it's good.
00:38Losing Theo tore a hole in my heart. In us. I love you, but we both know where this is going.
00:45I'm just going to get out of the bay for a while. You can move back home. I won't be there.
00:48Where are you going? Cyprus.
00:50I don't even know how long you're going for.
00:52I don't either. Six months, maybe.
00:54Six months. That's not a holiday. That's not a break. Six months. That's separation.
01:00That's where we're at.
01:01You can't just walk out the door and put our marriage on pause for who knows how long.
01:05I'm serious now. You get on that plane, we're done.
01:09That's where we're at.
01:31He is good, isn't he?
01:47It's just like he's been producing for so long
01:50you forget how talented he actually is.
01:53Yeah.
01:57Anyway, should we get these boxes upstairs?
02:00Just had an idea.
02:02You want me to stop gossiping about Tanya
02:04and I've got the perfect distraction.
02:15So she's really going?
02:18Seems that way, thanks.
02:20Do you know what?
02:21I shouldn't have said yes.
02:24About what?
02:25About taking the manager's job.
02:26I should have trusted my gut and said no.
02:29Marilyn, you've run this place before.
02:31You'll be right as rain.
02:32I know, Dad.
02:33Mr. Stewart, I could run this place with my eyes closed.
02:35Well, what's the problem?
02:37I think by saying yes, I've made it too easy for Leah to run away
02:40and not stay here and face our problems with Justin.
02:43Whatever choices Leah makes, they're up to her.
02:47Besides, this whole thing could still turn around.
02:50What do you mean?
02:50You just said goodbye to her?
02:52Yeah, but she hasn't actually gone yet
02:53and I haven't given up hope.
02:56Neither should you.
02:57You're right.
03:00Fingers crossed.
03:01I can't believe that you're giving me an ultimatum.
03:05Really?
03:05That's where we're at, at the moment.
03:07Yeah, it is.
03:08You can't just decide to end a marriage in one day.
03:12We've been going in circles for months.
03:14Exactly, that's why we need this circuit breaker.
03:15No, no circuit breaker.
03:17We will talk when I get home.
03:19Leah, no.
03:19Please, Justin.
03:20No.
03:22No more stalling.
03:23No more space.
03:24Not this time.
03:25That's just not how a marriage works.
03:28Don't push this.
03:29Don't.
03:30I let you grieve for however long you needed to.
03:32I let you walk in and out of this marriage
03:34however you saw fit.
03:35Now we've grown into the habit of leaving when it gets tough.
03:42I'm not going to let you do that this time.
03:44So are you going or not?
03:55Goodbye, Justin.
04:05Okay, I am going to shower and then I'm going to go to work.
04:11You know, you could always join me.
04:14At work.
04:15In the shower, wise guy.
04:17I'll make it worth your while.
04:19What have I done?
04:20Baby, you know what you've done.
04:22Today is the day that we probably hear news on the volunteer program.
04:26Oh, yeah.
04:28Yeah, right, look, if I get in the shower,
04:29you're probably going to be late for work again.
04:31Are you actually turning me down?
04:33You're turning me down.
04:34I'm just...
04:36Hey!
04:37How's it going, Sarge?
04:39Been better, to be honest.
04:41But some bad news.
04:44What's happened?
04:45The volunteer program.
04:47It's a no-go.
04:48What?
04:49I just got word the application's been rejected.
04:51Did they give you a reason?
04:53Apparently it doesn't align with current priorities.
04:56Basically, thanks, but no thanks.
04:58I'm...
04:58I'm...
04:58I'm confused.
04:59I thought it was all moving in the right direction.
05:01I...
05:01Yeah, I'm sorry, Aidan.
05:03I'm as disappointed as you are.
05:04Busted.
05:11Oh.
05:12I'm not doing anything.
05:14You are refreshing your email again.
05:16So?
05:17So.
05:18You are dying to find out about that job.
05:20You keep telling me I need to focus on other things.
05:22Maybe you should take some of your own advice.
05:23Fine.
05:24Oh, here it is now.
05:28Watch and learn.
05:30Hey, Rem.
05:31Hi.
05:31You were so amazing down there today.
05:33Oh, thank you.
05:34Cheers.
05:37So...
05:37I was thinking that maybe you could host some gigs here again.
05:42Oh, I don't know if you heard, but I shut the label down.
05:44No, I did here.
05:45I did, and I'm sorry.
05:46That's fine.
05:47I had to have them.
05:48Well, it is a shame, but it is my game, because you are still a musician, right?
05:52Yeah, apparently.
05:53So what about this Saturday night?
05:55A solo gig.
05:57No, I'm just a guitarist.
05:59No, I know.
05:59And we can use that to our advantage.
06:01Make it a whole live.
06:02Think about it.
06:03We'll dim the lights.
06:04Just you and your guitar.
06:06You know, we could even promote it as, like, a special romantic evening.
06:09I don't think I'm really up for this.
06:10Oh, come on, Rem.
06:12Such a big crowd outside.
06:13We could open it up to others, too.
06:16And if we work together, I really can...
06:17Hey, I appreciate the offer.
06:18I do.
06:19Better to know.
06:20Sorry.
06:25Not aligned with priorities.
06:27What does that even mean?
06:28Look, it happens sometimes.
06:29You think you've got something over the line, and then it just gets canned for no reason.
06:33Your funding mate was organising money for the program, wasn't he?
06:36Yeah, yeah, he was.
06:37Yeah, okay.
06:37Well, you might want to rethink that friendship.
06:40It sounds like you can't trust him.
06:41Well, I'm not exactly thrilled about it, either.
06:43That guy totally liked me.
06:44I just...
06:45I don't understand how it can go from being on one minute to canned the next.
06:49I know I shouldn't have got my hopes up, but I just...
06:52I really, really wanted this game.
06:54I know you.
06:54You know, I found, like...
06:56I feel like I'd found my purpose, and, like, you know, it was something that I was really
06:59excited about.
07:00Yeah.
07:01You could find something else that you wanted to do.
07:03Yeah, but this was perfect.
07:05You know?
07:06It was something really worthwhile, and I...
07:09It's like an idiot for thinking that I'd, you know, just sure bet.
07:12I don't know, maybe...
07:25Maybe he wants a break from music since shutting his label down?
07:30Maybe.
07:31No, I'm not going to take no for an answer.
07:33No, don't.
07:37Hi, see you again.
07:38Listen, Rem, I think it is such a great idea for you to do gigs here again.
07:43Mark.
07:44Think about how much of a success they were.
07:46And this time, we could do the promos together, we could...
07:49I said no!
07:51Okay, if this is about the label, I get it.
07:52Business-wise, it was a disappointment, but you are so...
07:54Just shut up!
07:56Please!
07:57And leave me alone!
07:59Rem!
07:59Remy!
08:03What was that about?
08:04I'll go check on it.
08:05I'll go.
08:08I know, I know, that wasn't cool.
08:22Look, you've got a lot going on, but they don't know that.
08:26Are you okay?
08:29Can I ask you a question?
08:31Of course you can.
08:34I don't...
08:35I keep getting pins and needles in my hand.
08:38You know, it goes numb.
08:41Is this normal, mate?
08:42Like, because I keep wondering how long it's going to be until I can't play guitar.
08:46Have you spoken to the neurosurgeon about this?
08:48No.
08:48Remy!
08:49Mate, I'm talking to you now.
08:50Every new symptom needs to be looked at.
08:53We know the tumour is growing.
08:55It could be affecting your nervous system.
08:57Yeah, I figured.
08:58Where are you staying?
09:02A hotel.
09:03You should not be alone.
09:05Maid comes at nine, then morning.
09:07That's not what I'm talking about, and you know it.
09:09I'm fine, Levi.
09:11Remy.
09:12No, just...
09:13Just...
09:14I'm fine.
09:14Remy left his guitar in there behind.
09:28Yeah, he probably just got him.
09:29Remy doesn't forget his guitar.
09:31I mean, something is definitely wrong.
09:32Definitely.
09:32I mean, since when does that guy turn down gigs?
09:34Yeah.
09:35I mean, he hasn't been right since the train crash.
09:37Well, he's just dealing with it in his own way.
09:39Yeah, babe, the wrong way.
09:42I still think that he thinks that's all his fault.
09:46Like, he doesn't deserve good things, like gigs here, maybe?
09:48Yeah, but, I mean, that's exactly what he needs after feeling so down on himself.
09:53Yeah, well, even if that is true, we still need to let him deal with it on his own.
09:56Yeah, I guess.
09:58Okay.
09:59Hey.
09:59You alright?
10:00Yeah, yeah, of course.
10:01What did Remy say?
10:03Uh, not much.
10:04I didn't get a lot out of him, to be honest.
10:06Well, I'll try and catch up with him after work.
10:08Are you sure that he's okay?
10:10I mean, he did have those seizures after the train crash.
10:13Oh, he's had scans and blood tests, so he's been checked out thoroughly.
10:19Yeah, of course, yeah.
10:20Alright, guys, my shift starts now.
10:22I've got to go.
10:23Yeah, yeah.
10:23I'll walk you out.
10:24Yeah, okay.
10:25See ya.
10:25See ya.
10:31Remy's not okay medically, is he?
10:37I know.
10:38I know.
10:38Doctor, patient, confidentiality.
10:40You can't say anything.
10:40I'm sorry.
10:41No, no, no.
10:41It's okay.
10:43I get it.
10:43You look like you're having a bad day.
10:59Gee, thanks.
11:03What's going on?
11:04I wouldn't know where to start, mate.
11:09What about you?
11:13I think my marriage is over.
11:19Sorry to hear that.
11:26Me too.
11:26Okay, thank you.
11:35I'll put you down.
11:37Cheers.
11:37Bye.
11:40Hey, Marilyn.
11:41How are things going here?
11:43Yeah, good.
11:44Good.
11:46How'd you go?
11:48Oh, I did a bit of stuff at the bite shop,
11:50but I can't stop thinking about Justin and Leah.
11:54Same.
11:54I don't suppose you've heard from Leah.
11:58I have.
11:59Yeah, she sent me a text
12:00saying she was on her way to the airport.
12:03Right.
12:04So I guess she's going.
12:07I just never thought that
12:09the whole thing had come to this.
12:12I know.
12:14Oh, no.
12:14Not for me.
12:15Thanks.
12:18You know, like,
12:19I knew there'd be tough times after Theo.
12:23I knew there'd be tears.
12:24I just knew there'd be sleepless nights,
12:26and I thought that would be the hard bit.
12:29But it wasn't.
12:33So all those times Leah kept me at arm's length
12:36drove me crazy.
12:40You were just trying to help, mate.
12:42She wouldn't let me do a damn thing.
12:44I'll give you two some space.
12:54I just...
12:54I couldn't.
12:56I couldn't.
13:06I'm so sorry.
13:07It's all right.
13:08No, I'm...
13:08No.
13:09No, it's not.
13:11I love you.
13:13I love you.
13:13I'm in this.
13:14And I'm in.
13:15Hi, Aidan.
13:32Hey.
13:33Have you, uh...
13:34Have you got a sec?
13:35Of course.
13:36I can't stop thinking about the program.
13:38I let myself get excited.
13:40Yeah, I'm sorry.
13:41I wish there was something I could do.
13:43Just help me understand
13:44the whole priorities thing.
13:46What's going on there?
13:47Honestly,
13:48I think it's just department speak
13:50for we don't have the money.
13:53That, um...
13:54Huh.
13:55That can't be right.
13:56Why is that?
13:56Look, I didn't want to say anything,
14:00but Cash has been pulling strings
14:02with a mate in the funding department.
14:05Okay.
14:06Yeah, he said that, you know,
14:07it was not a problem.
14:09It was practically a done deal.
14:10I just...
14:10I can't understand what went wrong.
14:13The funding department?
14:14Yeah.
14:15Yeah, yeah.
14:15You sure he didn't mean something else?
14:17No, I mean, that's what he said.
14:20Maybe we should call his mate,
14:21find out what happened.
14:22No, I can't.
14:23Why not?
14:24I mean, I'm happy to do it
14:25if you give me the number.
14:26I can...
14:26Oh, I can't give you the number.
14:27Why not?
14:28Because there is no number.
14:29What?
14:30Because there's no funding department.
14:32What?
14:32He said that...
14:33It doesn't exist.
14:36Cash set.
14:42Okay.
14:43There you go.
14:44That's good.
14:44I'm of.
14:45I've got a supplier meeting
14:46in region length.
14:47No, I'm doing work.
14:48No, no, no.
14:48I'm good.
14:49Um, listen...
14:51I know the whole doctor-patient
14:53confidentiality,
14:54but you can't tell me much.
14:55I can't tell you anything.
14:57Can you just let me know
14:58if I need to be worried
14:59about Remy or not?
15:02Remy has a lot going on.
15:04That's all I can say.
15:06Okay.
15:08Hi, you're back.
15:10Yeah.
15:11I kept your gear in the story
15:12and let me get it for you.
15:13Ah, just a second.
15:14And I would like to apologise first.
15:18I was hassling you, Rem.
15:19I should have listened to you
15:20the first time.
15:21Yeah, but I overreacted.
15:22I should never have spoken
15:23to you like that,
15:24so I am very sorry.
15:27I'll grab your stuff.
15:28There's a lot of people around here
15:34that care about you.
15:36Yeah, I know.
15:38Look, if you're not ready
15:39to talk to the surgeon yet,
15:41you might think about
15:42letting some friends in
15:43on what's going on.
15:45Yeah, I told you.
15:46And Cash.
15:47Are you using either of us
15:48for support?
15:50Not exactly.
15:52Right.
15:53Just think about it.
15:55Letting some friends in
15:57might make a world of difference.
16:02He'll always be with us.
16:04Every day.
16:06Yeah.
16:09I finally get that I thought
16:11I was grieving harder
16:12than everyone else.
16:13Of course.
16:14You're his aunt.
16:15You loved him.
16:15Of course it hit you hard.
16:16Yeah, but...
16:18I don't know why
16:18I thought that way.
16:20I pushed everyone away
16:22pushed you away.
16:25To be fair,
16:26I'm not always sure
16:27I said the right thing.
16:28You tried.
16:30Never stopped trying.
16:31Hmm.
16:33Not exactly true.
16:34I did give you an ultimatum.
16:36Yes.
16:37Probably shouldn't have
16:38let it get that far, though.
16:41Just glad you're here
16:42with me now.
16:44Yeah.
16:49So...
16:50Where do we go from here?
16:57I think you were right.
16:58I think I need counselling.
17:02Great.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Marriage counselling.
17:05Mm-hmm.
17:06We've got a lot to work through,
17:08but I'd like to try.
17:12I know that we can't go back
17:14to how we were,
17:15but I'd like us to be happy again.
17:19Do you think we could do that?
17:21Do you think we could do that together?
17:24Of course we can.
17:25Hey.
17:38What are you doing here?
17:40I just had a really weird
17:41conversation with your boss.
17:45About what?
17:46The funding department.
17:49Yeah.
17:49Imagine my surprise,
17:51husband of mine,
17:52when he looks me in the eye
17:54and he tells me
17:55there is no funding department.
17:57It doesn't exist.
17:59Yeah.
18:00I can explain.
18:01Okay.
18:02Okay.
18:02Off you go, then.
18:04Uh, look.
18:05It, um...
18:06It looks bad.
18:08It is bad.
18:09Yeah.
18:09And, um,
18:10I didn't want to have to lie to you
18:12about this, honestly.
18:13I, I didn't.
18:14But I have a reason.
18:16Okay.
18:16Well, please don't lie to me again
18:17because you already did it once
18:19and it's already got my hopes up, so...
18:20Yeah, it's, it's a good reason.
18:22It's a very good reason.
18:23Explain it, then.
18:25Well, I can't explain the reason.
18:30I'm your wife.
18:31Yeah, no, I, I know, I know,
18:32and I'm sorry.
18:33So you're just going to have to trust me.
18:34Why on earth would I do that?
18:35Why on earth would I trust you right now?
18:37Maybe because we love each other,
18:39so how about you just trust in that?
18:40And please believe me when I say that
18:41I, I, I, I really am sorry about this.
18:44Okay?
18:45But I also have to go to work.
18:47I love you.
18:48I'll see you later.
19:02Eamon.
19:04Word before you start.
19:07Eamon, stop by before.
19:09Yeah, uh, I'm aware of that.
19:11Right.
19:12She was pretty disappointed about the program.
19:14Yeah, she was really excited about that program.
19:16Yeah, I shouldn't have got it, hope, sir.
19:19Sorry if I dumped you in it.
19:20Hope I haven't ruined the newlywed bliss.
19:23Nope, I think I might have managed to do that myself, Sarge.
19:25Hmm.
19:28The funding department.
19:31Yep.
19:32Oh, you're back.
19:43Good, you got your gear.
19:45What's your problem?
19:46What's your problem?
19:46I am five minutes into my marriage and my husband is already lying to me.
19:56About what?
19:57I don't know.
19:58He keeps taking off, not telling me where he's going and then coming back with stupid excuses.
20:03He made up a whole fake department at work and then when I caught him out on it, he wouldn't explain anything.
20:09He didn't just...
20:10No, I need to vent, otherwise I am going to explode.
20:12I know, but maybe just don't be angry at Cash.
20:15Give me one good reason why not.
20:17Because I think I'm the reason he lied.
20:19Look, why don't you sit down?
20:24There's something I've been meaning to tell you.
20:30Do you remember the seizures I had after the train crash?
20:34How could I forget?
20:38Well, when they were doing the scans...
20:41Levi found a brain tumour.
20:45What?
20:45Is it cancer?
20:52Can't say it from the scans alone.
21:04This is my mate Holden.
21:06He's booked him for the next class.
21:09Seemed pretty interested in Lacey.
21:12Didn't stop talking about her for most of the lesson.
21:14Did you know her boyfriend?
21:15Yeah.
21:16Like to get along or...
21:17Why are you asking?
21:19I didn't realise you live so far away.
21:21Why don't you just do lessons at your local beach?
21:23Don't you want my business?
21:24If you ask me, it's more interested in you.
