00:08I've got to admit, I was a bit surprised to get your text, so I thought I wanted to schedule
00:11off.
00:11I just wanted to be honest with you, make sure there's no mixed signals.
00:15I just can't imagine being with anyone new right now.
00:17Of course.
00:18But now that that's all cleared up, I was hoping, if you're willing to maybe still just be friends.
00:25Yeah, I'd like that.
00:26Dad warned Tane of having a relationship with me, if it's why we were walking up in secret.
00:31Can you just say that again? Dad did what?
00:33His first instinct, when he heard about the train crash, was to look for her and to make sure that
00:38she was safe.
00:39He put his own life in danger to help her. Well, what can he do?
00:42Tell me about you and Tane, and I want the truth.
00:46I've been thinking, and I think I need more support with the donor.
00:49What do you mean?
00:50I need to make some changes in my life.
00:52It's too painful for me to keep seeing you if I can't be with you.
00:55I know it's hard, but I'm not ready for anything else.
00:59That's why I'm just going to get out of the bay for a while.
01:01You can move back home. I won't be there.
01:03Where are you going?
01:04Cyprus. I'm going to go and visit Vijay.
01:09No one knows me like my sneakers do.
01:14Hey!
01:16I've been looking for you.
01:17Aren't you usually trained out at the beach?
01:19Well, it depends on the conditions.
01:20It's a bit windy today.
01:21Why, you want to join in?
01:22Oh, no thanks.
01:24Um, I just thought you should know that Joe got out of hospital yesterday.
01:28Right.
01:30Well, that's great.
01:31Happy for her.
01:33Um, and there's also something else you should know.
01:35Oh, look, I have to get started with work, sorry.
01:36Eddie's gone.
01:38What do you mean, Eddie's gone?
01:40He's gone.
01:41Left town.
01:42Never to return.
01:43Engagement's off.
01:46Well, that's rough.
01:48Well, it was the right call.
01:52I'd better get on with things.
01:53Sure.
01:55Just wanted to keep you in the loop.
02:06There's nothing to tell.
02:08Tane and I went out a few times, and then Eddie came back.
02:10Well, your sister seems to think it runs deeper than that.
02:13Lacey's entitled to her opinion.
02:15Dad, did you do any shopping while I was in the hospital?
02:17The cupboards are empty.
02:18Can we please have an honest conversation?
02:20I don't see the point.
02:22Tane and I are ancient history, which I'm sure you're very happy about.
02:27Why do you say that?
02:29Well, since we're being honest, I know you warned Tane off.
02:35Well, I had concerns about the guy, and I didn't want someone making your life more complicated.
02:42Well, that wasn't your call to make.
02:45I'm sorry, but when I saw Tane's criminal record, it didn't exactly paint the best picture.
02:51Where do you stand now?
02:53Well, Lacey's made it clear that your love life is not my jurisdiction.
02:57Can you just answer the question?
03:02If you want to pursue a future with Tane, I won't stand in your way.
03:09Oh, let's be real, Dad.
03:11Your opinion is not the obstacle here.
03:13Then what is?
03:15Me.
03:17And the way that I've messed him around.
03:20Nothing turns someone off like getting engaged to another guy.
03:27So you think it's done between you two?
03:30I don't want it to be.
03:38Ah!
03:38Ah!
03:39Marilyn!
03:40We don't see you in here very often.
03:41No, on my way to work.
03:42I just thought I'd pop in.
03:44Um, you're not going back home soon, are you?
03:47Should I be?
03:47No, it's just that Leah's there.
03:50She came to see Justin.
03:51Right.
03:52And what do you reckon?
03:53Were they sort of getting themselves sorted out?
03:56Ah, no.
03:56No, I wasn't getting that from them.
03:58And last night she was saying things like she wanted to make life changes
04:02and she needed more help at the diner.
04:04So I'm a bit worried that she's had enough.
04:07Hmm.
04:08I was hoping they'd get their act together by now.
04:11Yeah, me too.
04:12I just thought I should let you know.
04:13Yeah, well, thanks, love.
04:14I'll sort this stuff out and get home and see how they're going.
04:19Oh!
04:19Well, parcel came in for you before I put it behind the desk.
04:22Cool.
04:23I'll let Marley know.
04:24No, no, no.
04:25It's not for Marley.
04:26It was addressed to you.
04:27Me?
04:28Yeah.
04:29Really?
04:29Thanks.
04:58All I know is that I can't be able to do this.
05:00I can't be here.
05:00Not like this.
05:02All right?
05:02No matter what we do, we can't seem to get past our problem.
05:05So I'm just going to take myself out of the situation.
05:08I need to go to the diner and do a few things and I'm going to go home and pack.
05:12I'll text you when I book my flight.
05:14Text me.
05:14Seriously, you're going to text me.
05:15I suppose I don't get a say in any of this, do I?
05:17You have already had your say.
05:18You said you didn't want to be part of this marriage anymore.
05:20I didn't tell you to leave the country.
05:22What difference does it make?
05:23It makes a very big difference, Leah.
05:25This is our life.
05:26Yeah, well, you've made it pretty clear that there's nothing for us here.
05:29This is the best decision for both of us.
05:30I'm getting tired of you being the one who makes all the decisions.
05:33Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore, do you?
05:35Bye, Justin.
05:41Well, what the flame and hell has happened now?
06:02Nice.
06:05Uh, so, how's Jo doing?
06:08Uh, do you mean health-wise?
06:11Yeah.
06:12Yeah, she's getting there.
06:16And how about with the breakup?
06:19I mean, how do you mean?
06:21Well, how is she coping?
06:24I mean, she's not crying herself to sleep every night, if that's what you're wondering.
06:28Do you know what happened?
06:30I told you, they broke up.
06:32It was only a reason.
06:34I guess it wasn't working for them.
06:35Yeah, but did Jo break it off?
06:38Why are you so interested?
06:39You're not making it easy, are you?
06:42Look, if you want to know what my sister's thinking, you should just ask her yourself.
06:59Did Leah say when she's leaving?
07:01Soon.
07:02Just going to sort some things out at the diner.
07:05Well, you're running out of time to turn things around, don't you?
07:08Well, it's not like I've got any say in it, mate.
07:10She's obviously made up her mind.
07:11Come on, mate.
07:12What did you think she'd do when you told her you didn't want to be in the marriage?
07:15I don't know.
07:15I don't know.
07:17I didn't even mean to say it.
07:19Oh, I just...
07:20She pushed me into saying it.
07:21You know, like, with everything being like I was, I just figured that's the way we were headed.
07:26And what do you think now?
07:29Things aren't getting any better, are they?
07:33I just never expected her to walk away from it all.
07:36It doesn't have to be like this.
07:39Doesn't it?
07:43Why don't you just forget everything that you said or might have said in the past?
07:48Do you want to be in this marriage or not?
07:54I love her.
07:57Well, there's your answer.
08:01So what are you going to do about it?
08:20Connie.
08:22David.
08:24What can I do for you?
08:25We need to talk.
08:28About Joe.
08:38It goes without saying, but I take my responsibility as a father seriously.
08:43Of course.
08:44So do I.
08:46And you know what Joe's been through.
08:48And Lacey.
08:50I'm not saying it's an excuse, but it's made me...
08:54Overprotective?
08:55Personally, I'd go with cautious, but sure.
08:59Yeah, I get it.
09:01The same with my boy, you know.
09:03Do anything to protect him.
09:05You know, that instinct never goes away.
09:07Even when they're older.
09:10But there comes a time when you've got to step back, and I've struggled with that, especially with Joe.
09:15Oh, mate, you don't have to explain.
09:17No, I do.
09:20It was wrong of me to get involved.
09:23I appreciate that.
09:25And now I know you better, I was wrong about you too.
09:31You risked your life to save Joe.
09:34You wouldn't have done that if you didn't care for her.
09:37I absolutely care about her.
09:39That's all I need to know.
09:43You don't have to worry about me interfering again.
09:50And Joe?
09:52How does she feel about that?
09:54I've done my part.
09:55And I'm staying out of it now.
09:59Rest is up to you.
10:12Hey, I got your text.
10:14What are you doing here?
10:15Oh, I thought we could hang out.
10:16Play pool.
10:17Share a mimosa.
10:18Oh, it's at the home.
10:20Sorry.
10:20I'm joking.
10:22I was at the loose end.
10:23I felt like seeing you.
10:24I hope that's all right.
10:25Yeah.
10:26You drove all this way just to see me?
10:28It's not that far.
10:30I mean, if you say so, why didn't you call me first?
10:33What if I was busy or something?
10:35Yeah.
10:35My bad.
10:37But, uh, you're not busy.
10:39So it's cool, right?
10:42Yeah.
10:43Well, I guess since you got the first round of drinks last time, it's my shout.
10:46What do you want?
10:48Um, I trust you.
10:51I love whatever you're having.
10:53Okay.
10:58So I'll still do the books and you can call or email anytime, but I need you responsible
11:02for the day-to-day running of this place.
11:05I can do that.
11:06Yeah.
11:07Are you really sure about this?
11:08Yeah.
11:09Yeah, of course.
11:09It was about time I promoted you to manager.
11:12Oh, no.
11:12I didn't mean that.
11:13I meant about going away.
11:14I am sure so.
11:16I just need to know your decision about the job.
11:19Well, it would help if I knew when you were coming back.
11:22Marilyn, do you want the job or not?
11:24It's totally fine.
11:24I can hire someone else.
11:26Really?
11:26You do that?
11:27I just need your answer by the end of the day, okay?
11:34Justin, I'm not in the mood for another argument.
11:36I'm not here to argue.
11:37Please just listen.
11:40I came to tell you...
11:47You can't go, okay?
11:49This is your home.
11:51Your business is here.
11:53Your life.
11:53You were my life.
11:55And Theo.
11:57Well, if we've got any hope and save in our marriage,
12:00it's not going to happen with you a thousand miles away.
12:02Is this the marriage that you didn't want any part of?
12:04Okay, so that's not true.
12:05I don't understand.
12:06Justin, I'm giving you the space that you asked for.
12:08Okay, just forget what I said.
12:09Listen, you leaving is never what I wanted.
12:11I didn't...
12:12Well, hey, so you want me to forget what you said?
12:14You want me to listen, but not to everything?
12:15Do you want to just make up your mind?
12:16Hey, hey, hey.
12:17For months I've been fighting for you, okay?
12:20For months.
12:21And you pushed me away.
12:22You can't turn this around on me now.
12:24Right, okay.
12:24So much for not wanting to argue.
12:26Did you come in here deliberately to upset me?
12:28I came here to talk to you.
12:29I don't really see the...
12:30Right, oh, enough.
12:31You two with me.
12:33We're going to sort this out once and for all.
12:46I got you mango.
12:47My favourite.
12:48How'd you know?
12:49You just seem like a mango kind of guy.
12:53Prepare to be annihilated.
12:54Go, Izzy.
12:55You've already got the home court advantage.
12:56It's not like my boss pays me to stand around and play pool.
12:59Not sure about that.
13:03How'd you know where I worked?
13:05What do you mean?
13:07The drinks.
13:08You sent them here.
13:10You must have mentioned it.
13:13No, I don't think I mentioned anything about my job to you.
13:17Oh, you know what it was?
13:18I must have seen it on your socials.
13:19You look me up.
13:21Yeah, isn't that what people do?
13:22Um, I guess so.
13:24Are you saying you haven't looked me up?
13:26Because that...
13:27That hurts.
13:28Get over yourself.
13:31Sorry if that makes you feel weird.
13:33Yeah, look, to be honest, it does.
13:35A little bit.
13:38It was Isaac's funeral today.
13:41I'm sorry, I didn't know.
13:44That's why I wanted to see you.
13:46I get it.
13:47You need a distraction.
13:49Well, it helps bear around someone who understands.
13:53Well, I'm glad I can help them.
14:15Jo?
14:16Hmm, what?
14:18You have a visitor.
14:22I'm not, come on.
14:23Rom-coms, eh?
14:24I've got 150 pounds.
14:27Hi.
14:28Hey.
14:28Hi.
14:29Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone.
14:31Excuse me.
14:31Have you ever heard of a text message?
14:33Look at me, I just got out of hospital.
14:35Tani doesn't care how you look.
14:36Yeah, but I do.
14:37How could you be so smart and so clueless?
14:40I think you look great, by the way.
14:41See?
14:42It's good to see you up on your feet.
14:44Well, I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it.
14:47Thanks, mate.
14:49So, um, I heard you and Eddie broke up.
14:54I'm sorry.
14:56Yeah.
14:58Would you like to go for a walk and catch up?
15:02Yeah, I do.
15:04Just not in my pyjamas.
15:06It's a more tech.
15:07Yeah.
15:10Righto.
15:11There'll be no interrupting each other, okay?
15:13You'll both get a chance to speak.
15:15Oh, and another thing.
15:16Stick to the facts.
15:18I don't want to see either of you slinging mud.
15:21You got it?
15:24Righto.
15:25Who wants to go first?
15:28Justin can.
15:29Oh, you can.
15:30What if I don't want to?
15:32Justin, why don't you tell Leah why you said that you didn't want to be in the marriage anymore?
15:40I was upset.
15:43We're supposed to be a team in the moment there's any trouble.
15:46You up and run.
15:47Trouble?
15:48My nephew died.
15:50Let him finish.
15:50Yeah, he did.
15:52And you ran to someone else.
15:55How was I supposed to feel?
15:59Leah?
16:02I don't like when he unfairly shifts the goalpost.
16:05I'm right here.
16:06Mate, mate.
16:07He asks me to lean on him, and when I do, he pushes me away.
16:11No, that's not what happens.
16:11Isn't it?
16:12You ask for space.
16:14When I try and give it to you, you won't let me leave.
16:16She's unfairly shifting things around.
16:18I don't know what you want from me.
16:19So, I don't either.
16:20Right on, time out.
16:23Let's all just have a breather, eh?
16:30I won.
16:31It was three games to two.
16:32No, no, no, no, no.
16:33It was a draw.
16:34Two all.
16:34The first game was a warm-up.
16:35Who plays a warm-up game?
16:39Okay.
16:39Okay, I'll let you have this one.
16:41But next time I'm playing basketball.
16:42Next time?
16:43Yep.
16:43You'll be lucky.
16:44You not only mean as mates, right?
16:47You know, who doesn't need more friends?
16:49Especially since we've just lost people.
16:52Yeah, true.
16:53That's why I bought you the drinks.
16:55I just wanted to cheer you up.
16:58It did cheer me up.
16:59But don't be surprised if I whip your butt next time.
17:02No chance.
17:03If you bothered to check my socials, you would have seen all my basketball trophies.
17:07Grandfinal winners, three years running.
17:08I will do that.
17:10I like to check my facts.
17:12Should we get a photo?
17:14Yeah.
17:16Well.
17:22Sorry about that.
17:24Since losing Isaac, I made a promise to myself to always keep memories of the good times.
17:30Hanging out with you has just been so great.
17:34Yeah.
17:35It's been nice.
17:36But I should probably get back to my sister now.
17:39Now.
17:41Have you got time to get something to eat?
17:42No, sorry.
17:44I've already been way longer than I said.
17:48Can you text her?
17:50We'll only be another half hour or so.
17:52I need to go.
17:53Yeah.
17:54But I'll see you again, right?
17:56Yeah.
17:57Sure.
18:14I don't even know why we're doing this.
18:16We're just going around in circles.
18:17It's exhausting.
18:18Well, now that we've got all the cards on the table, we can start looking for solutions.
18:22Unlike some people else actually trying to save this marriage.
18:25Mate, was that really necessary?
18:27You're the one who said you didn't want to be in the marriage in the first place.
18:30Okay.
18:31I said something I shouldn't have.
18:34But you've been acting like you didn't want to be a part of this marriage for months.
18:37Oh, yo, yo.
18:37In fact, in fact, I reckon you've been waiting for me to say it so you can use it as
18:41an excuse to run.
18:42That's not true.
18:44Okay, hey, just pull your head in.
18:45If you'd have come to the grief counsellor like I asked you, none of this would be happening.
18:49If you'd listened to your grief counsellor in the first place, you know that I wasn't thinking straight after Theo
18:54died.
18:55Instead, you're using it against me like I'm an evil person or something.
18:58Leah, Leah.
18:59There she goes.
18:59Good on you.
19:01As soon as there's trouble, ups and runs.
19:13Tell me if you need a break.
19:15No, this is great.
19:16I've spent so much time laying around lately.
19:19Well, you've had a good excuse.
19:22You know, your dad really surprised me earlier.
19:25I bet he did.
19:27Your sister's been on my case too.
19:29Okay, I officially come from the most embarrassing family in the world.
19:32So sorry if they put pressure on you.
19:35I expected it from my sister, not from my dad.
19:39They care about you.
19:41But what I want to know is...
19:44How you feel.
19:47Where's something good going?
19:49Then.
19:51Whenever you showed up, I just...
19:55I was confused.
19:59I'm so sorry for mucking you around.
20:02I chose the wrong guy.
20:18I was a waste of time.
20:21Leah just can't accept that her actions are what caused all of this, and I'm over it.
20:26The ball's in her court now.
20:27She wants to fix this.
20:28She can come to me.
20:30I'm just going to sit here and chill.
20:32No, mate.
20:33You're not.
20:34Hey.
20:35The only reason you and Leah can behave like this is because you've got a revolving door here.
20:40Well, that ends now.
20:41You said I could stay as long as I need.
20:43I changed my mind.
20:44Mate, come on.
20:44I'm fair dinkum, Justin.
20:46Pack your bags, go home and sort out your marriage.
20:49Consider this an eviction notice.
20:59This is nice.
21:01What is?
