00:08This is my mate Holden. He's booked in for the next class.
00:13You all good, Holden?
00:14Yeah, yeah, sorry.
00:15If you ask me, it's more interesting than you.
00:18You alright with that?
00:19Yeah, we agreed to be friends.
00:23Marley, hi.
00:24Wouldn't happen to be waiting for Lacey, would you?
00:26What's going on with you and Marley?
00:28Sorry?
00:28There's obviously something going on between you two.
00:31I want to be good now, take care of bubs for Harper, but something always gets in the way.
00:35He's on a suspended sentence, see my grandchild whenever he damn well wants, and I have to be supervised? How's
00:40that fair?
00:41It really is a piece of work.
00:43I'm sorry, though. I know that you were hoping she'd changed.
00:45Yeah, I was.
00:46Harper, come on. No, you can't make me do this. You can't make me leave.
00:51Let's all go.
00:51No.
00:52You're making a big mistake.
00:54No, the only mistake that I made was bringing you back into my life, and I'm never going
00:58to do that again.
01:07Oh, when can I start spoiling in with baby chinos?
01:10I'll let you know.
01:11This one's on me.
01:13My way of saying thank you for letting Archie and I move in.
01:16Well, now that you and I are on the same page of our mum, mi casa es su casa.
01:21Sorry if the little guy kept you up last night with his grizzling.
01:23No, he didn't.
01:25No, that's what earplugs are for, aren't they, buddy?
01:27Morning, ladies.
01:28Hi.
01:28Any word on Sonny?
01:30Yes, they are moving him to the rehab unit today.
01:33Well, it's the best place for him.
01:35I'm not sure that he feels that way.
01:38What about you? How are you feeling?
01:41I really just wish we were going home.
01:44If there's anything you need.
01:49Is that mum again?
01:50She wants me to call her.
01:52Don't let her suck you in.
01:53You told her to leave, that's what she's doing.
01:57I've got to go to the hospital for the transfer.
02:01Molly is my friend and my boss.
02:04Sounds pretty convenient.
02:06There's no romance there.
02:08He has a girlfriend, you've met her.
02:10All right, so maybe you're not dating, but have you got feelings for him?
02:13No.
02:14I'm not thinking about anyone like that right now.
02:19Okay, I told you about Theo.
02:21Do you think I would lie about something like that?
02:23No.
02:25I don't.
02:28I was just worried you were about to disappear on me.
02:31Disappear?
02:31You know, if you were in a relationship, we wouldn't have as much time to be mates.
02:36Okay.
02:37Well, you're wrong about both those things.
02:40I don't have a boyfriend.
02:42Yeah, I'm painfully aware of that now.
02:44And you're still my mate.
02:48I made a huge mistake.
02:50I'm really sorry.
02:52It's okay.
02:54I forgive you.
02:58What brings you here?
03:00Your lesson's not till tomorrow.
03:02Thought I'd get some practice in.
03:05Well, waves are that way.
03:07Thanks.
03:08I'm going to get a coffee upstairs first.
03:21I would aim for an early nap today.
03:24It was up half the night.
03:25Oh, did Dana love that?
03:26She wore earplugs.
03:28Oh, smart.
03:29Hey, I'm glad it's working out for you here.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Well, it's only been a couple of days, but so far, so good.
03:35All right, little man.
03:37I think you're good to go.
03:38Come on, pups are easy.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Oh, it's all right.
03:42Here we go.
03:44All right, shall I drop him off, say, six o'clock?
03:46Yeah, sounds good.
03:49Also, there's something I need to talk to you about.
03:51Okay.
03:54Sorry.
03:56Jo and I, we're together now.
04:00Good.
04:01It's about time.
04:03So you wouldn't mind if she hung out with Archie?
04:05No, of course not.
04:07If you're okay with it, I'm okay with it.
04:13Now someone's persistent.
04:15It's mum.
04:16I thought if I ignored her, she would go away.
04:18I think I need a new plan.
04:22I thought I told you to stop contacting me.
04:25I will leave it to her.
04:28No, there's no point.
04:29I don't have anything else to say to you.
04:34Fine, fine.
04:35Where do you want to meet?
04:38Holden gives me the creeps.
04:40Okay.
04:42Noted.
04:43Abby and I had seen him outside last night.
04:45Hours after he'd finished his lesson, just sitting in his car.
04:49In his own car?
04:51In a public place?
04:53Yeah, well, he asked if you were still up in Seoul.
04:56It's like he was watching or waiting for you.
05:01Okay, that does sound a little bit creepy.
05:04I would steer well clear if the guy follows you.
05:08Well, you're not me.
05:09And I prefer a more direct approach.
05:20Can I get you anything else?
05:21No, thanks.
05:23Another coaster, maybe.
05:31Hi.
05:32Hey.
05:33Perfect timing.
05:34I was just about to order a mosh out.
05:37No, I was kind of just hoping we could talk for a minute.
05:40Yeah, great.
05:41How about a walk?
05:43Yeah, okay.
05:45Cool.
05:53Hey.
05:56What have you got here, quick?
05:57I live upstairs.
06:00Coffee on tap, lucky you.
06:02What do you want?
06:04The motel kicked me out.
06:08That's why you've been calling me non-stop?
06:10Well, it's not the only reason.
06:11It's just the most pressing.
06:13Oh, you're unbelievable, Mum.
06:15I've got nowhere else to stay.
06:16I can't afford it.
06:18That is not my problem.
06:20Mum, go home.
06:22Can I at least say goodbye to my grandson?
06:24No, I'm sorry.
06:26I'm sorry, you can't.
06:26Huh?
06:28Please.
06:30I know you're mad at me, but I thank God to the boy, wasn't it?
06:35Doesn't that mean anything to you?
06:39No, no, no.
06:40Just, no.
06:41You're mad at me.
06:43Your feet are on the ground and I'll the griftoe see.
06:49Your feet are on the ground and I'll the griftoe see.
06:54You only hurt yourself if you can rescue me.
06:59Not the answer to your prayer
07:03Trust me, I'm a cross too bad, too bad
07:08Not the answer, not me, not the answer
07:11Are you okay?
07:14I don't really do it.
07:19Beep beep!
07:21Hey, new guy, right?
07:24Yeah.
07:24I'm Louie.
07:26It's honey.
07:27In name only or this position too?
07:30Hi, I'm Dana.
07:31Dana, girlfriend, private nurse, sister?
07:35Girlfriend.
07:36You're a lucky guy.
07:37Yeah, that's what I keep telling him.
07:38Hey, I'm organising wheelie races this afternoon.
07:41Are you in?
07:41No, you're not.
07:43Look out, the boss is here.
07:45I'm kidding.
07:48I'm assuming our self-appointed morale officer made you feel welcome.
07:52Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
07:54I'm Warren.
07:55I'll be in charge of your rehab plan.
07:57Well, come on.
07:59Give you the grand tour.
08:01You okay?
08:04I've no idea.
08:06You might want to try getting around on your own.
08:09You'll be here for a while.
08:28I just need you to be straight with me about something.
08:31Sure.
08:33Why were you sitting in your car outside the surf club last night?
08:37Did Marley tell you that?
08:38Yeah, but that's not the point.
08:41Look, that's going to sound weird.
08:43Try me.
08:45I was in my car, ready to go, and...
08:49This thing happens when I start to think about Isaac and the crash, and it just messes me up.
08:57But before I know it, hours have passed.
09:02I get it.
09:05When Theo died, I spent days alone in my room.
09:08See?
09:09We get what the other one is going through.
09:11Like trauma buddies.
09:13Maybe.
09:14All I know is that I don't feel so alone when you're around.
09:18And I'm sorry if I freaked you out.
09:20Or if I came across as too needy.
09:24It's okay.
09:25I'm sorry too.
09:26I should have been more understanding than just assuming the worst.
09:31Call it even?
09:33Sure.
09:46Do you want some water or anything?
09:48No, I'm good.
09:50This is everyone's favourite place.
09:52Yeah, I can see why.
09:53It's really lovely.
09:55It's nice to come in and relax after physio or agiotherapy.
09:59You'll be doing both, by the way.
10:01You said before that I'd be here for a while.
10:03How long, exactly?
10:05Well, that depends on you.
10:06How hard you work, how quickly you progress.
10:08Well, Sonny's a really hard worker, so I think you'll nail that.
10:11Yep, for sure.
10:13Do you like pizza?
10:14Yeah, he loves it.
10:15Ah, well, good.
10:16Because it's first night tradition.
10:17New guy buys.
10:19Oh.
10:21Tired.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Should we go find your friend?
10:23Yeah.
10:23You'll have to grab the key from the front office.
10:26Oh.
10:26I can point the way.
10:27Sure.
10:28Back in a second.
10:30Sorry, um, I'm just a little confused.
10:32Um, they said at the front desk that you would show us where the room is.
10:36Okay, I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible, but you have to leave.
10:41Okay, he still needs me.
10:42No, he doesn't.
10:43But you want to help him, right?
10:46Of course.
10:47Then leave him with me.
10:48Okay, he's got a lot to get used to, and it's better he does that without an audience.
10:53I promise I'll look after him.
10:55Okay.
11:00Hey.
11:01So, I actually have to leave now.
11:05Why?
11:07It's just a Harper thing, and I'll explain later, but you'll be fine, okay?
11:11You got this.
11:13No, I don't.
11:18Just a phone call away, okay?
11:30Hey.
11:31Hey.
11:31Are you missing them already?
11:34Yes, but that's not why I'm here.
11:37I wanted to run something by you.
11:40Oh, okay.
11:41Sleeping at last.
11:42Good.
11:44Good.
11:45Mum's leaving.
11:46Like, actually leaving this time.
11:49Good.
11:50Yeah, it is.
11:53You don't seem happy.
11:55She asked me again to say goodbye to Archie, and I said no.
12:00Well, you don't owe her anything.
12:02No, no, I know that I don't, but I don't know if it's the right decision for Archie.
12:07You want her to say goodbye to him?
12:10I think it's the right thing to do.
12:12But I won't do it if you're not okay with it.
12:15Well, she is your mum.
12:18It's up to you.
12:25That's the recreation room.
12:26It's a good place to relax, hang out, socialise.
12:32Freedom and Louis.
12:33What?
12:35Yours is the next on the right.
12:38Stop.
12:40You've done really well.
12:41I'll take a room here.
12:43Thanks.
12:45Louis calls the decor practical chic.
12:49I've slept in worse places.
12:51Me too.
12:54You're welcome to bring in stuff from home.
12:56Whatever you like to make yourself feel more comfortable.
12:59What's that?
13:00Ah, that's just general info and your rehab schedule.
13:05We'll let you settle in today, tomorrow, and then we'll get you started.
13:08Yeah, right.
13:09I get it.
13:09Can we go through this later?
13:11I know it's a bit overwhelming.
13:13How could you possibly know?
13:15Huh?
13:16Are you stuck in a wheelchair, wondering if you're ever going to walk again?
13:21No.
13:22I'm not.
13:23But it's my job to get that question answered.
13:27Can't do that with you fighting me.
13:34Sorry.
13:37I'll let you get settled.
13:39Meet me in the wreck when you're done.
13:53Hey, Dana.
13:54How'd you go with Sonny?
13:59I just had to leave him there.
14:03Oh, it's all right.
14:04No, it's all right.
14:06It's all right.
14:06It's all right.
14:11I've got you.
14:19Can I get you another coffee?
14:22No, thanks.
14:23I'm hitting the road soon.
14:24Harper mentioned that you're going back to the city.
14:28Not by choice.
14:31Oh.
14:32It's here.
14:34Hi, Mum.
14:35Thanks for meeting me.
14:36I just want to make sure that I actually leave.
14:39Well, don't worry.
14:40I'm already packed, ready to go.
14:41Good.
14:43But you can't go just yet.
14:45There's someone you need to say goodbye to first.
14:50Hey, um, is it all if I had home or do you need help closing up?
14:54Um, no, it's fine.
14:55Okay, great.
14:58Hey, did you talk to him about last night?
15:01Uh, yes.
15:03It was all just a misunderstanding.
15:06All right.
15:07Yeah.
15:12That's an interesting choice of reading material.
15:15Look at this.
15:15We both prefer the beach over the mountains.
15:17Oh, well, they're actually not my answers.
15:20It's Abigail's and Molly's quiz.
15:22Oh.
15:23I will see you in the morning.
15:25See you then.
15:26Uh, do you want me to walk you home or...?
15:28Uh, no.
15:29I'm fine.
15:29Thank you, though.
15:31No worries.
15:33Hey, just so you know,
15:35I've cancelled all your lessons.
15:37Why?
15:38I don't need a reason.
15:40But I paid up front.
15:41And you'll get a full refund.
15:43This isn't about the money.
15:44Yes, I know.
15:46That's why you're no longer welcome here.
16:01So, what happened today?
16:05Look, I know that it is the best place for him.
16:08But he just looked so terrified.
16:11It's really devastating to see him like that.
16:14Hmm.
16:15With my son,
16:18the worst part was just feeling so powerless.
16:22It broke my heart.
16:24But he got there.
16:25So did I.
16:28Yeah, well, we actually met with the guy
16:30that's running the program,
16:31and he said that the best way to help
16:33is just to not help at all.
16:37He might be onto something there.
16:39Look, Sonny's got to find his own way through this.
16:43And he will.
16:45And then he'll be back to being
16:46his old charming self again.
16:48You think so?
16:51I promise.
17:03Cut!
17:08Well, pick it up.
17:10I can't.
17:12Here you can.
17:13Look.
17:15Stabilise yourself with your right hand,
17:16and then reach down with your left.
17:31Oh, she's pointless.
17:32Hey, it's just you.
17:34You'll get the hang of it.
17:34You know, I don't want to get the hang of it.
17:36I hate this chair.
17:37And do you know what?
17:38I hated mine at first, too.
17:40But I love it now.
17:41You know, it's freedom.
17:42Yeah, well, I'm not you, am I?
17:45Yeah, exactly.
17:47Incomplete spinal cord injury.
17:50At least there's a chance you'll walk again.
17:52How do you know that?
17:54You've been telling him about me?
17:56Nope.
17:56No, no, no.
17:58Don't blame him.
17:58I'm like a ninja.
17:59I can hear through once.
18:01All right, well, hear this.
18:03There's been no improvement since the accident,
18:04so I figure this is as good as it's going to get.
18:11You know, I have plans.
18:14Marry my girlfriend.
18:17Buy a house.
18:18Have kids for this someday.
18:23That'll change the moment I woke up in hospital with no legs.
18:28She wasn't up for it.
18:29Louis, I think that's enough.
18:30Nah.
18:31All I'm saying is...
18:35You have hope.
18:39You have a chance.
18:45Take it.
18:54It's good advice.
19:10Honey, we're here.
19:12Yeah, come in.
19:13Won't be a second.
19:15She's not.
19:18So, this is where my grandson spends half his time.
19:22Yeah.
19:24How long did you live here for?
19:26You're here for Archie, Mum.
19:28Not for me.
19:30Well, I'm glad I'm seeing the place.
19:32I can picture him here now.
19:40And there he is.
19:47It's a hopper, you should think.
19:49Oh, I did.
19:50It's all right.
19:51It's all right, Archie.
19:52Oh, I'm going to miss you.
19:56I'm going to miss you.
19:58You okay?
19:58I'm going to miss you.
20:03Yeah.
20:07Hey, you're back.
20:08Yeah, he called me.
20:09That doesn't surprise me.
20:10What's happened?
20:11It's been a bit of a baptism of fire.
20:13That's all.
20:14Where is he?
20:14On your right.
20:16I was only joking about the pizzas, by the way.
20:18Hey.
20:21Wow.
20:23Cool room.
20:27Thanks for coming back.
20:29Yeah, you need me.
20:31I'm here.
20:34What's up?
20:38I can't do this anymore.
20:42Babe, I know, but it's just your first day.
20:45No.
20:47I can't be with you anymore.
20:50It's me.
20:52No.
20:52Please.
20:53No.
20:53Please, don't.
20:54You didn't sign up for this.
20:55I don't care.
20:56Yeah, well, I do.
20:58Okay?
21:00It's over.
21:09Getting to know you has been the joy of my life.
21:13How does a bloke with such a grubby past manage to come up smelling like roses?
21:17Wow, you really are a piece of work.
21:19You keep that trollop away from my grandson.
21:21What did you just say?
21:22You heard.
21:23All right, that's enough.
21:24Karma's going to catch up with you.
21:26Have a nice life, Kim.
21:27I mean, it's trouble.
21:28One day you wish you'd listen to me.
21:31Yeah, I believe drugs are being sold from a house in Summer Bay.
21:34I think the dealer's name is Tane Parata.
