00:01Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:08Hey, new guy, right?
00:09I'm Louie.
00:10Sonny.
00:11I know it's a bit overwhelming.
00:13How could you possibly know?
00:14Are you stuck in a wheelchair, wondering if you're ever going to walk again?
00:17I can't do this anymore.
00:19You didn't sign up for this.
00:20I don't care.
00:20Well, I do.
00:21Okay?
00:22It's over.
00:24Right now, he needs to feel like he's got some control over his life.
00:27It sucks.
00:28But you need to do what he's asked.
00:30Yeah, I believe drugs are being sold from a house in Summer Bay.
00:33I think the dealer's name is Tane Parata.
00:36I found this under the cot.
00:38You are under arrest for possession of a prohibited drug.
00:40That's not mine.
00:41David, that is not mine.
00:42Don't!
00:43That's not mine.
00:43But if you do, it may be used in evidence against you.
00:46Do you understand?
00:47I've been set up.
00:48Who would do this?
00:49Is there anyone you've been arguing with?
00:51I'm just mum.
00:51Kerry.
00:52I need to see Tane.
00:53This isn't a social club.
00:55Senior constable, can you please escort these two outside?
00:58Dad, you can't do that.
00:59My station, my rules.
01:02You heard it.
01:06There's no point going to the station.
01:08They won't let you near him.
01:09Cash will let me through.
01:10Trust me, I want to see him too.
01:11But Cash isn't a gatekeeper.
01:12David is.
01:13He said both of us packing last night.
01:15His own daughter and the mother of Tane's child.
01:17OK, well, if David was there last night, maybe he won't be there today.
01:20I mean, he has to go home at some point, right?
01:21Slim chance of that happening.
01:23He practically cabs out at the station whenever he's got a big case on.
01:25OK, well, then you're going to have to distract him.
01:27How?
01:28I don't know.
01:29Call him.
01:30Invite him for breakfast.
01:31Tell him to go home and shower.
01:32Just anything to get him out of there.
01:33It's worth a shot.
01:34We need to see Tane before he's put in front of a magistrate.
01:37Please, Jo.
01:38This might be our only chance.
01:41OK, I'll see if I can get him to meet me.
01:42And hopefully that gives you guys enough time.
01:45Great.
01:45Well, let's head over there now.
01:47Who would do this to Tane?
01:55This is a surprise.
01:59Right now, I'm just at the diner getting a coffee and heading back to work.
02:06Yeah, all right.
02:07I can wait.
02:08Yep.
02:09I'll see you then.
02:10Bye.
02:12Morning, Sergeant.
02:13Hey, John.
02:14Arrested any innocent people lately?
02:18Oh, that was cheeky.
02:19What's that all about?
02:20It's something that Harper said to me this morning that I'm not going to get into right now.
02:24I've got this little cherub to distract me.
02:26It doesn't matter.
02:27I take it Sonny hasn't had a change of heart?
02:30No, he hasn't.
02:31And I'm doing exactly what he asked.
02:33I'm staying away.
02:34Can't be easy.
02:37It's fine.
02:38I'm just trying to keep busy.
02:39I've actually done a couple of extra shifts at work.
02:41Fair enough.
02:42But don't wear yourself out.
02:43Well, I either do that or I just stare at the phone waiting for a call that's not going
02:47to come.
02:47So it's really difficult being in this endless holding pattern.
02:53But it's fine.
02:54It's fine.
02:55I'm not the one that has a spinal injury.
02:57And up.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Down.
03:01Doing really well.
03:02Up.
03:03Up.
03:05Not a lot of work getting done here, Sonny.
03:07Bad night.
03:08Are there ever any good ones?
03:11That depends.
03:12No, it doesn't.
03:13This is just my life now.
03:17Okay.
03:18Come on.
03:19We talked about this.
03:20You need to work on your upper body strength.
03:23It will help with your recovery.
03:25Let's go, mate.
03:27Rose.
03:27Let's go.
03:33That one.
03:35Yep.
03:36Butt back.
03:39Nice.
03:39Nice.
03:40And chest up.
03:41All right.
03:42Shoulders down.
03:44Breathe.
03:48Nice.
03:49Nice.
03:52Oh, Ash, hi.
03:53Pete.
03:55How are things in here?
03:56Not too busy, I hope?
03:57The answer's no.
03:58The answer's still no.
03:59No to what?
04:00No, you guys can't see Tarno.
04:02Ash, come on.
04:04We just want to talk to him.
04:05We don't want to bust him out.
04:06Yeah, well, the boss won't like it,
04:07and he's going to be back here any minute.
04:09Well, I have a weird feeling
04:10that the boss might be held up right now.
04:12Yeah, I have that feeling, too.
04:15What did you do?
04:16Well, it's best that you don't know.
04:18Please, Cash.
04:22Come through quickly.
04:31Hey, look, I need to talk to you.
04:33I need to talk to you, too.
04:34Okay.
04:38Do you think it's possible
04:39that my mum planted those drugs?
04:41Yes, I do.
04:42And so does Tarno.
04:44She knew about his suspended sentence
04:46and the consequences.
04:47She's not at her address in the city.
04:49You could help him with any friends
04:50or family she might visit.
04:51Yeah, yeah, of course.
04:55How the hell did this happen?
04:57I mean, what is going on?
04:59Mac, those drugs aren't mine, I swear.
05:01I know they're not.
05:03Look, you're innocent, okay?
05:06So you just got to keep a cool head,
05:07be really smart,
05:08and do whatever your solicitor says.
05:15Hey, sorry I'm late.
05:17I thought you must have changed your mind.
05:20Why would I do that?
05:21Well, I know I'm not your favourite person at the moment.
05:27So what's up?
05:28You said it was urgent.
05:30Um,
05:32I just wanted to apologise for last night.
05:38I don't hate you.
05:40I appreciate the apology.
05:43I understand yesterday must have been hard on you.
05:48Dad, what's going to happen to Tarno?
05:50We don't know how this is going to play out.
05:52That's all I can really tell you.
05:56It just doesn't make any sense.
05:58You were there.
05:59You saw the drugs as clear as I did.
06:03I know you like the guy.
06:05But I have to follow this route.
06:09Wait.
06:09I have to get back to work.
06:11We haven't even had a coffee yet.
06:12I had one earlier.
06:13What about something to eat?
06:15I appreciate the apology.
06:16I've got a lot of work to do.
06:18I'll see you at home.
06:22Bye.
06:28Up and down.
06:30Left and right.
06:32Would you watch over me tonight?
06:36Alright.
06:37We need to wrap this up.
06:39But we haven't even heard David's on his way back yet.
06:41Yeah, David's on his way in.
06:42We've got to go.
06:43Joe messaged me.
06:44Tarno, I am so sorry.
06:45Just tell our boy that I love him and give him a big hug from you, yeah?
06:49And if he needs anything, anything at all, you call me.
06:51Yeah, we'll do.
06:52Okay.
06:52We need to leave now.
06:53Morning.
06:55Morning, Sarge.
06:57This way, this way, this way, this way.
07:06Sorry, I'm late back.
07:10Got held up.
07:11Newman?
07:12Sarge.
07:14Sorry, I was just checking on Tarno.
07:16There's nothing to report.
07:17Everything all right?
07:18I was just making sure he's got breakfast.
07:21Are you talking about my client, Tarno Parata?
07:23I'd like to see him.
07:25Now.
07:33Joe.
07:34Hey.
07:35Hey.
07:36How'd you go?
07:36Did you get enough time?
07:37Yeah, we saw him.
07:38Well, how is he?
07:39He's stressed.
07:40Really stressed.
07:41Uh, do you want to come upstairs for a coffee?
07:43We can fill you in?
07:43Yeah.
07:44Okay.
07:46Up, are you coming?
07:47Uh, maybe later.
07:48Yeah, I'm back on mum duty.
07:50Of course.
07:50Hey, Dana.
07:51Hey.
07:52Hey all.
07:53Um, anywhere on Tarno?
07:54No, not yet.
07:55He's still stuck in that cell.
07:56Um, okay.
07:58Harper, do you want to keep me posted for you or anything?
08:00Sure.
08:00All right.
08:01Bye, guys.
08:03Hey.
08:05Hey, little buddy.
08:09Your daddy wanted me to let you know that he loves you very much.
08:14Yeah, yeah.
08:16Are you doing okay?
08:21This is all my fault.
08:29There you go.
08:30It's on the house.
08:31It's a thank you for distracting your dad today.
08:33I didn't love lying to him, but I'm glad Tarno got to see you.
08:37I think it would have meant a lot.
08:38Yeah.
08:39I just wish there was more that I could do.
08:43Do you really think someone framed him?
08:45Absolutely.
08:47Tarno would never have anything to do with drugs.
08:50Well, how bad could it get for him?
08:52He's already on a suspended sentence.
08:54He could go away for years.
08:55I know.
08:56He has been so careful up until this point, and now it could all go south because someone
09:01decided to stitch him up.
09:04Well, if that's true, the cops will figure it out, surely.
09:08Wait, what?
09:08What do you mean, if it's true?
09:10Of course it's true.
09:12Jo, please, you have to believe that Tarno would never do this.
09:15Then whose drugs are they?
09:17I never should have brought mum back into our lives.
09:19Look, we don't even know if it's her.
09:22And also, even if it is, you're not responsible for her actions.
09:26What if Cash can't find her?
09:28Don't go there.
09:29You don't know what it's like to have Jo and Mac sit there and say who would have done it?
09:33You can tell them anything?
09:33No.
09:34Good.
09:34You don't have to.
09:36And also, you're trying to help Cash find mum.
09:38You're trying to fix it.
09:39Yeah, of course.
09:40Do whatever it takes to get Tarno out.
09:43What can you tell us about the drugs we found on your property?
09:47Don't answer that.
09:48No comment.
09:49Well, the quantity of drugs implies that you had intent to sell.
09:54Do you supply drugs?
09:58No comment.
10:00Okay.
10:01Let's say the drugs aren't yours.
10:03Whose are they?
10:04Don't answer that.
10:07The drugs were stashed in your child's room and you have no idea how they got there.
10:14Do you even care?
10:19I wonder what child services would say about that.
10:22Sarge, I don't think...
10:22Like I said to Cash, talk to Kerry Matheson.
10:27You forget to mention that, did you, senior constable?
10:30Let's just talk.
10:31I'm just curious because yesterday you refused to make a statement and then you have a private conversation together.
10:37Don't talk to police without a solicitor present, even informally.
10:42Sergeant, let's cut to the chase.
10:44Why hasn't my client seen a magistrate to apply for bail?
10:47Because the courts are busy.
10:50And I wouldn't have thought you'd be in a rush.
10:53His chances of making bail are slim given his suspended sentence.
10:58You know what will happen to him.
11:01Only have found guilty, Sergeant.
11:11Hey, I just found out from the gym instructor about Tarnay, a drug bust.
11:15Is that true?
11:16Yeah, apparently.
11:17Well, that's unbelievable.
11:19How can something like that happen in my street and me not know about it?
11:22Yeah, that is the hard part to believe.
11:24Why didn't you tell me earlier?
11:25Because I didn't know earlier.
11:27I mean, also, it's ridiculous.
11:29Like, if anyone could see that Tarnay's not involved with drugs.
11:32No, of course not.
11:33It's also just awful.
11:35Like, Harper is so upset.
11:37And it's quite a weird one for her to navigate because, I mean, obviously they're not together,
11:41but she's still going to care about him.
11:43But from what I know, the Matheson girls are good eggs.
11:47And when things go bad, they don't turn.
11:49They dig in.
11:52That's nice to hear.
11:53I haven't been getting a lot of positive feedback recently.
11:57Still nothing from Sonny?
12:00Well, my advice to you would be to do a Matheson.
12:03Dig in.
12:05It's back strong.
12:05If I gave my mistake, don't know what I'm thinking.
12:12I've not been quite the same since I let go in.
12:16You didn't eat anything at lunch?
12:19I'm not hungry.
12:21You need to keep up your strength.
12:29Right.
12:30How long is this going to go on for?
12:31Man, haven't you been on my case enough for one day?
12:34Okay.
12:37Well, when you're done wallowing, let me know.
12:56Why are you calling me?
12:58I just wanted to let you know that I understand why you're pushing me away.
13:03I'm not pushing away.
13:04I'm breaking up with you and a story.
13:06Well, no, not necessarily.
13:08And if you'd let me finish, I wanted to say that I spoke to Warren and I'm going to give
13:14you the space that you need because apparently that is the best thing.
13:18But in no way does that mean that I am giving up on us.
13:22Right.
13:23Okay.
13:23So you've been having secret little meetings behind my back.
13:26That's real nice to hear.
13:28He came to see me and we had a chat.
13:31It was nice.
13:32Oh, you had a nice chat.
13:33Oh, that's good.
13:33Well, look, I'll tell you what, this is my life.
13:36It says absolutely nothing to...
13:42Sonny?
13:44Sonny?
13:46Sonny, are you okay?
13:52There you go.
13:53So you might like something to eat.
13:55Oh, thanks, Mac.
13:56So, good news.
13:58Cash just messaged me and said Tarnia's solicitor arrived.
14:00Oh, finally.
14:01Fingers crossed you got a decent one.
14:03Yeah.
14:03Well, I'll keep you updated if I hear anything else.
14:05I appreciate it.
14:06Okay.
14:10I just spoke to Sonny.
14:12Okay.
14:13I thought you were taking a step back.
14:14It was a quick call, but we ended up getting into a fight.
14:18Are you okay?
14:19Well, no, I'm worried because he got really angry and I think he dropped his phone.
14:23I don't know.
14:24I could hear him reaching for it and he sounded like he was in pain or something.
14:27Yeah, well, now I'm...
14:28Maybe call the rehab centre and ask the staff to check on him?
14:31Yeah, I already left a message.
14:32I think I actually have to go there.
14:35Sonny asked for space.
14:37Are you sure that's the right thing to do?
14:47Are you all right?
14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
14:49Thanks to you.
14:51Okay.
14:53You met up with Dana?
14:55I might have.
14:56You might have, right.
14:57You didn't think to run that by me, no?
14:59I met up with her as a favour to you.
15:01As a favour to me?
15:03Right, how'd you work that one out, buddy?
15:05Because you're not the first person to come through here and push away the people closest to you.
15:10I thought she should know that.
15:12Mate, who do you think you are?
15:15My relationship counsellor?
15:17Don't talk to her.
15:19Fine.
15:20But you might have to.
15:23Hi.
15:24You're okay?
15:26I was really worried.
15:28What are you doing here?
15:35Look, mate, I know you said to keep the Kerry thing between us, but when he said what he said
15:39about Archie...
15:40Don't worry about it.
15:40Yeah.
15:42I can handle myself.
15:59I want you to talk to me about this idea of Kerry Matheson planning the drugs.
16:05Why do you think she did it?
16:07Because she's got means and motive.
16:09She blames Tarno for cutting her off from her grandson.
16:11So you think her go-to is to get a hold of a large quantity of drugs and plant them?
16:16She has a history of drug use.
16:18Does she have a record?
16:19Possession.
16:20And various misdemeanors.
16:22I'm not even going to ask how you know that.
16:25However, it does feel like a lead worth following, but you need to do this by the book.
16:31Yes, Sarge.
16:33Full disclosure, Sarge.
16:34I've already applied for a warrant to track her phone records and her bank accounts.
16:39Do you have an address?
16:40She's given up her lease in the city weeks ago, but Harper's given me a list of three addresses
16:45and names of friends and a sister that she might contact.
16:48But you still don't know where she is and no solid leads?
16:51Not as yet, no, Sarge.
16:52If you find anything, I want to be the first to know.
16:55Yes, Sarge.
16:59Still nothing else from Cash?
17:01Not yet.
17:03Clearly the solicitor hasn't had the charge reversed and we would have heard by now.
17:06Is there someone who might know?
17:09Hang on.
17:10Let me.
17:16Hey, Dad.
17:19How's Tane?
17:20He's fine.
17:22Still being charged for possession though, right?
17:25Sweetheart, I know this is hard on you, but you just need to be patient.
17:29Dad, none of Tane's friends think he's guilty.
17:32You should talk to them.
17:34It's not my job to listen to opinions.
17:36Of course you'd say that.
17:39Let's just forget about everyone else for a minute.
17:43The fact is, you don't know Tane very well.
17:45I know him well enough.
17:48Alright.
17:49But I'm hoping you know me better.
17:52I'm asking that you trust me.
17:54That I will do the right thing here.
17:56Wherever this investigation may lead.
18:00I promise you that.
18:04How do you think it's going?
18:06I really can't tell.
18:08Oh.
18:09I hate being kept in the dark.
18:10It sucks.
18:12Okay.
18:13I should get back to it.
18:15Just let me know if anything else happens.
18:16Sure.
18:31Mom.
18:33I really need you to call me back as soon as you can.
18:36It's important.
18:39Look, I know that I wasn't meant to come here.
18:41Yeah, and yet here you are.
18:44I thought that you were hurt.
18:45Well, now you know I'm not, so you can leave.
18:48Okay.
18:50If that's really what you want.
18:51Have I really not made that clear?
18:54No, you have.
18:57I just wanted you to know that I am.
18:58Just stop talking, Dana.
19:00Like, what do you not understand?
19:01I want you gone.
19:04I love you, son.
19:05Yeah, well, I don't love you.
19:06So stop being so pathetic and leave.
19:11Go on.
19:14Don't come back.
19:16Don't come back.
19:39Don't you know what's happened?
19:41Just saw Sonny.
19:42Didn't go so well, huh?
19:48You know, everyone's telling me to be patient.
19:51But I don't know how much worse it has to get before it gets better.
19:57I'm so sorry it's turned out like this.
20:00Well, it hasn't, you know, turned out.
20:04He's just going through things.
20:06I'm going to do what you and Maureen said.
20:08I'm going to stay away.
20:09But that does not mean that I'm giving up.
20:10No, of course not.
20:12When the time comes, I'm going to be here for him.
20:21Look at me, man.
20:23For God I was this tall.
20:24It's great, man.
20:25Good for you.
20:29Thanks, mate.
20:30Cheers.
20:31Hey, I saw Dana was here before.
20:35Yeah, I don't really want to talk about it, to be honest, man.
20:37I'm done with her.
20:39What?
20:40You idiot.
20:41Leave it, though.
20:42You're going to regret that.
20:43Why the hell would you dump her?
20:44I'm done with this.
20:45Where are you going?
20:45Away from you, obviously.
20:47Mate, watch the table.
20:50You all right?
20:53I'll go get help.
20:54Yeah.
20:56Whoa.
21:05Oh, there you are.
21:06You're late.
21:07You missed your lesson.
21:08So you didn't have the guts to tell her?
21:09Tell her what?
21:10That you canceled my lessons for no good reason.
21:12This is discrimination, and you're not going to get away with it.
21:15What was that about?
21:16Obviously, I just made a bad first impression with the guy.
21:19The crash must have affected me more than I realized.
21:21It's a shame.
21:22I really thought the lessons were going to help.
21:24Can you just give him one more chance?
21:26No chance.
21:26Please.
21:27For me.
21:28I don't want to have anything to do with the guy.
21:30I don't think you should either.
