00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and the way
00:06Hey, new guy, right?
00:10I'm Louie.
00:11Sonny, you said before that I'd be here for a while.
00:13How long exactly?
00:15That depends on you.
00:15How hard you work, how quickly you progress.
00:17I know it's a bit overwhelming.
00:19How could you possibly know?
00:20Are you stuck in a wheelchair,
00:22wondering if you're ever going to walk again?
00:23No, I'm not.
00:25But it's my job to get that question answered.
00:28Can't do that with you finding me.
00:29You know, I have plans.
00:30Marry my girlfriend, buy a house.
00:33That all changed the moment I woke up in hospital with no legs.
00:36She wasn't up for it.
00:37I can't do this anymore.
00:38You didn't sign up for this.
00:39I don't do that.
00:39Yeah, well, I do.
00:40Okay?
00:41It's over.
00:42You stop blocking me from seeing my grandson,
00:44and I'll keep this from Harper.
00:46Is that a threat?
00:47Harper, come on.
00:48No, you can't make me do this.
00:49You can't make me leave.
00:51Can I at least take a bite of my grandson first?
00:54Oh!
00:56Okay.
00:57Oh, I'm going to miss you.
00:59Yes, are you?
01:01You okay?
01:03Yeah.
01:11That was a big session.
01:13Yeah.
01:14I guess the first one always is.
01:16There was a lot to fill the cows laying on.
01:19How'd you feel at the end of it?
01:20Good.
01:23I like where we landed.
01:24I'm going to think about what brought us together in the first place.
01:27No, that was nice, wasn't it?
01:30Hey, Alf.
01:31Hey.
01:33Looks like the first session went pretty well.
01:36Yeah, what makes you say that?
01:37Turns out counselling isn't that terrible.
01:40I bet you're glad you didn't go on that trip of yours.
01:42Yeah, no, I'm definitely in the right place and ready to do the work.
01:46Me too.
01:47And thank you for being so supportive.
01:50We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
01:52Don't be silly.
01:53Seeing you two together is the only thanks I need.
01:57Although, you could shout me a couple of us.
02:00We're heading to the giant now, so...
02:02I know.
02:02Well, sort this stuff out and meet you there, eh?
02:05What a difference a week, mates.
02:07We both thought this was heading on the way we'd want.
02:16Hey!
02:19What?
02:19Given up on him already, have you?
02:26No.
02:28What are you still doing here?
02:29I'm saying no.
02:30I don't accept your decision and we're not breaking up.
02:33Right, well, you can't force someone to be in a relationship.
02:35I beg to differ, actually.
02:37I don't want to be with you, okay, Dana?
02:40Now get that through your head and leave.
02:44I'm going to go and give you some space, but I'm going to come back tomorrow.
02:47Don't come back tomorrow.
02:49Hey, what's wrong?
02:50You just broke up with me.
02:57Great work.
02:58Now, what's your plan?
03:08You're a funny little fella, eh?
03:13Getting to know you...
03:15...has been the joy of my life.
03:18And you just remember, even though I am not around,
03:26I'm still your Nana.
03:29And I'll always love you to bits.
03:33Yeah.
03:35All right.
03:37Come on, boy.
03:38Nana's got a long drive of here to be.
03:42You want to stay?
03:43Do you stay?
03:44Come on, Mum.
03:46It's time.
04:02Thank you for letting me say goodbye to him.
04:07Well, it's pretty obvious that Archie loves you.
04:10You need a chance of a high-female.
04:34Bye, Archie.
04:35Bye.
04:40Let's get going, Bubba.
04:52Daddy's going to be late for his day, too.
04:55He still needs to get changed.
04:56Hey, what's wrong with me wearing?
04:59Well, it's fine.
05:01Just fine?
05:02Yeah.
05:03Have a good time.
05:04Bye.
05:10Hey.
05:14Am I late?
05:16No, no, I was early.
05:23Hey, how are you?
05:24How was your first day back at work?
05:26It was good.
05:27I got through two surgeries,
05:29and I assisted with a cardiac issue in the internal field.
05:32Wow.
05:33You were a patient only five minutes ago now.
05:35Here you are, back to saving lives.
05:36How about you?
05:37How was your day?
05:37Yeah, it was eventful.
05:40But you're probably sick of hearing about my ex and her mum.
05:43No, mum.
05:44Tell me everything.
05:50Here we go.
05:51Eddie?
05:55Me?
05:56Hey, I wasn't expecting you back so early.
05:59Yeah, I wasn't really expecting it myself.
06:01Don't worry, I'll clear all of this up.
06:04What?
06:05Well, the mess.
06:06I've barely been here a couple of days,
06:08and I've already turned the place upside down.
06:10That's okay.
06:11It's sort of like my life at the moment.
06:13What's going on?
06:17Sonny just broke up with me.
06:19What?
06:20Why?
06:21Apparently, I didn't sign up for this.
06:25And he doesn't think that I'm...
06:26strong enough to get through it with him.
06:30What?
06:32It's probably a knee-jerk reaction to all the changes in his life.
06:36You really think so?
06:37Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:39He will wake up tomorrow and he'll change his mind.
06:44Probably, right?
06:45Yeah.
06:45He's just scared and he's having a moment.
06:51I got nothing to worry about.
06:54I'm very happy.
06:55He...
06:56You wake me up
07:03And die the way you don't
07:08So, do you want a drink?
07:33Uh, no.
07:35I'm just...
07:35It still feels weird being here with you.
07:49That's great.
07:51Where's what I'm going for?
07:52Yeah.
07:52I wasn't.
08:05So glad we didn't get on that plane.
08:25Hey, Dana.
08:40You off to see Sammy?
08:42Not today, no.
08:43He dumped me.
08:45Yeah.
08:46I know.
08:47I'm trying to convince myself he's going to change his mind.
08:49Of course he will, Lolly.
08:50He's not thinking straight.
08:51I'm so sorry.
08:53Dana?
08:57Hey.
08:58Is everything okay?
08:59Yeah.
08:59I thought I'd check out where Sonny's coming back to.
09:01You didn't mention there'd be so much sand.
09:03Yeah, well, that's the trouble with these pesky little seaside towns.
09:07John Palmer, JP.
09:08Warren.
09:09I work at the rehab centre.
09:10Ah, Dana's told me all about you.
09:12Oh, I only believe the good bits.
09:14Sorry, is Sonny okay?
09:15He's fine.
09:16A bit grumpy, but fine.
09:18Did he send you?
09:19No, I got your address from his paperwork.
09:22Is this a good time?
09:23Mm-hmm.
09:24Yeah, I guess.
09:25Okay, I'll leave you to, hey?
09:26Can you stay, actually?
09:28Oh, of course.
09:29Of course.
09:29Uh, can I get you a tea or coffee?
09:31I thought that would be great.
09:34Yeah.
09:35So, um, why are you here?
09:38You're not here to check on me, are you?
09:41It's partly that, but I did want to check out your place.
09:45You know, Sonny won't be in rehab forever.
09:48Yeah.
09:49It's just that I don't think that he's very keen to come home to me, either.
09:55Wow.
09:55Oh.
09:57I could get used to this.
09:59Oh, yeah?
09:59What's it?
10:00Me cooking or you staying here?
10:01Um, both?
10:12Oh, sorry.
10:13I should have called.
10:14No, that's okay.
10:16I'm going to have a shower.
10:17Yeah, yeah.
10:19Sorry.
10:20Oh, no, no.
10:20It's fine.
10:20It's fine.
10:21What's up?
10:21Hey, boy.
10:22Hey, you okay?
10:23Hey.
10:24Yeah, he's great.
10:25In fact, Archie and I had a chat and we've come to a decision.
10:29Really?
10:29But before I get into that, I wanted to say thank you again for letting mum say goodbye.
10:35Oh.
10:36And she was actually really good with him.
10:38You feeling all right about it today?
10:40Yeah.
10:41Yeah, I am.
10:43All right.
10:44So what's this big decision?
10:46I don't want to fight with you over custody anymore.
10:51I think we need to put it to bed.
10:53Meaning what exactly?
10:56I thought things were going pretty well.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Yeah, I agree.
11:00So why don't we formalise the arrangement that we have now?
11:0350-50 like we originally planned a million years ago.
11:08I don't know what to say.
11:10Is that a yes?
11:12Yes.
11:13Yes, yes, yes.
11:15Okay, I'll make the appointment.
11:16Hey, did you hear that, boy?
11:17Hey, everything's going to be okay.
11:19Yeah.
11:19Yeah.
11:20It took mum and dad a minute, but we finally figured it out.
11:24Hey?
11:25Yeah.
11:25Bye-bye.
11:28He's only acting up because I'm not there.
11:30I know.
11:31Hi.
11:32We heard that Sonny got transferred to the rehab unit.
11:35How's he coping?
11:37I'm not trying to interfere.
11:38You know, we've been thinking about him.
11:41Yeah, yeah.
11:41We just wanted to give him our best.
11:44That's nice.
11:45Um, he's struggling.
11:47Can't be easy on you.
11:49He's lucky to have you at his corner.
11:51Look, we've got a meeting with one of his care teams, so...
11:54Right-o.
11:54We'll leave you to him.
11:55Of course, yeah.
11:57Everything all right?
11:59Yeah, it's all good.
12:00Thanks.
12:01I hope you don't mind me sitting in on this.
12:03No.
12:04Not at all.
12:06Dana needs as much support as Sonny does.
12:08Especially in the early days.
12:10I just...
12:11I don't understand what happened yesterday.
12:14Like, it...
12:15It can't be because I left.
12:16You told me to do that.
12:17Yeah, I know.
12:18And I stand by that.
12:21He's scared.
12:23He's in a bad headspace.
12:25To be honest, Louis...
12:27You met him yesterday?
12:28Mm-hmm.
12:29Well, he was talking about how his girlfriend dumped him when his accident happened.
12:32I wouldn't do that to Sonny.
12:34And deep down, he probably knows that.
12:37Okay, so...
12:39What do I do now?
12:40Like, I still want to support him.
12:43Right now, he...
12:45Needs to feel like he's got some control over his life.
12:48It sucks.
12:49But you need to do what he's asked.
12:51So stay away.
12:53That's really the best you've got.
12:54That and...
12:56Don't lose hope.
12:57I saw how you two were together yesterday.
13:02It's obvious that you care about each other.
13:04I love him.
13:06He can come to his senses.
13:08In his own time.
13:09He's right.
13:11Pushing's not going to make that happen any sooner.
13:13I just don't want him to be alone in this.
13:16He won't be alone.
13:18I'll have his back.
13:19I promise.
13:20Man, I still can't believe it.
13:24Shared custody, you know.
13:25It's the best we could have fought for.
13:26I'm so happy for you.
13:28And for Harper and Archie, too.
13:29Man.
13:30Seems fine.
13:33Oh, Harper doesn't muck around.
13:34She's already booked an appointment with a solicitor this morning.
13:36Oh, go, go.
13:37You sure I don't want to mess up our plans?
13:39Of course.
13:40This is way more important.
13:41We can do this another time.
13:42Hey, thanks for being so good about this.
13:44I know how much that little pain means to you.
13:49Like someone's living their best life.
13:52Sorry, what are you on about?
13:53You ruined my relationship with my grandson.
13:56Oh, okay, Carrie.
13:57Come on, let's go.
13:58Oh, yeah, go on.
13:59Walk away.
14:01Hey.
14:02How does a bloke with such a grubby past manage to come up smelling like roses?
14:06Wow, you really are a piece of work, aren't you?
14:08Oh, watch out.
14:10He'll knock you up.
14:11Break your heart, too.
14:12You leave her out of this.
14:13You keep that trollop away from my grandson.
14:15What did you just say?
14:16You heard.
14:17Oh, that's enough.
14:18Okay?
14:19Karma's going to catch up with you.
14:22Have a nice life, Carrie.
14:32Hey, man.
14:33How's it going?
14:35Yeah, not bad.
14:36Just taking a break.
14:37Thanks for the pizza last night.
14:39I probably would have let me starve after our conversation.
14:41Um, you should probably get back to my room.
14:44Hey, no, wait.
14:45I'm trying to apologise here, man.
14:47I have zero idea of what your doctors are saying, so I'm sorry for being judgy.
14:54I get a bit bitter and twisted sometimes.
14:56Yeah, me too.
14:57Do you want to shoot some hips?
15:01Some other time.
15:02You've got an appointment, Louie.
15:04Go on.
15:05I'll be there in a minute.
15:06I'm getting new legs.
15:08Well, legs at work.
15:12Very sleek.
15:13It's a story with him.
15:25Fitting new prosthetics and learning how to use them is a long process.
15:30And our friend Louie here is a bit unsure about it all.
15:35How are you feeling today?
15:38How are things on the Dana front?
15:40Any regrets?
15:41She probably hates me right now, but in time she'll realise that I did this for her own good.
15:48You need everyone in your corner, Sonny.
15:50It's a tough road ahead.
15:51Louie did it on his own.
15:52I'm sure a bunch of people do.
15:53Not by choice.
15:56Yeah, well, look.
15:57Without her to worry about, I can focus on what I need to do, so...
16:02Where do I start?
16:07Hey, where's Archie?
16:08Oh, I've got an appointment, so I left him with Marilyn.
16:11Wine before midday.
16:13Don't judge me.
16:14No, no judgement.
16:16I'm guessing you haven't heard from Sonny.
16:18Nope.
16:18I did see the guy from his rehab, though.
16:21Who also told me that I should stay away.
16:24Is there anything I can do?
16:26No.
16:27I think I'm just going to be on my own for a bit.
16:32Okay.
16:40We need to talk.
16:42I thought you had left town.
16:44How well do you know Tarnay's bimbo?
16:46Joe is a very nice person.
16:47I just caught them making out in public like randy teenagers.
16:50Mum, I don't care.
16:51If she's going to be in contact with your son, you should absolutely care.
16:56Do not lecture me about motherhood.
16:58That's not what I'm doing.
16:59Tarnay is free to do whatever he wants, and so am I.
17:01And I'm trying to look out for my family.
17:04I'm going to be late for an appointment.
17:07Can I at least say hi to Archie?
17:09He's not here.
17:10Where is he?
17:11He's with Marilyn, because I'm meeting the solicitor with Tarnay.
17:15Not that it's any of your business, but we're getting a shared custody agreement.
17:20Why would you do something so stupid?
17:22You need to leave.
17:23Oh, don't give away your power.
17:26Are you so damaged that you can't even recognise a decent man when you see one?
17:30No, you can't trust that man.
17:31Just shut up.
17:33Can you just shut up?
17:34She told you to go.
17:36Go.
17:36That's the most way to say goodbye to your mum.
17:39Yeah, well, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
17:44That man is trouble.
17:50One day you wish you'd listen to me.
17:55Hey.
17:56She's not our problem anymore.
18:00Yeah, good riddance.
18:07Hey, sorry I'm late.
18:10Gista, we just had a run-in with.
18:12Unfortunately, I heard all about it.
18:15I'm so sorry again.
18:16It's all right.
18:17But the good news is, I think she got the message, and that's the last we'll see of her.
18:22Good.
18:22I called the solicitor as well to let him know we're running late.
18:26Hey, thanks again for doing this, you know.
18:29Well, I've learnt a lot about family in the past few days.
18:31I want to put ours first.
18:34Anybody home?
18:35Hi.
18:35Hi.
18:42My name is protein.
18:42I love you.
18:43I love you.
18:56I love you.
18:59You know I am.
19:04Are you sure it's okay we crush your lunch?
19:19Hey, don't look at me. This was Jo's idea.
19:21Of course it's okay. This is a big day. We need to celebrate.
19:24It is a relief to have the Custodista full, finally sorted.
19:30Would you like to have a hold?
19:32Yeah, I'd love to. Thanks.
19:34I don't like you.
19:40It's okay.
19:41You're so cute.
19:48You're so cute.
19:49What a little boy.
19:50You're so cute.
19:52You're so cute.
19:52What a little boy.
19:52What a little boy.
19:53What a little boy.
20:10Hi, I'd like to report a crime.
20:23Yeah, I believe drugs are being sold from a house in Summer Bay.
20:28Yeah, and there's a baby in the house.
20:30I'm just worried it's in danger.
20:33The address is 59 Saxon Avenue.
20:36I think the dealer's name is Tane Parata.
20:40I have to go, sorry.
20:44Please hurry.
21:02I'd like to report a crime.
21:04He's been set up for a crime he never committed.
21:07There's a baby in the house.
21:08I'm just worried it's in danger.
21:10It could cost him everything.
21:14Police, we have a warrant to search the premises.
21:16I'm on a suspended sentence.
21:17One wrong move and it's seven years inside for me.
21:19I know that.
21:20They're not going to find anything.
21:21Well, yeah, exactly.
21:22So you've got nothing to worry about?
21:24Joe, hey, here.
21:27You are under arrest.
21:28Home and away.
21:36Home and away.
