00:15I'll get it straight to obstetrics, the ultrasound technician's standing by.
00:19Carl, what could be wrong?
00:20We won't know until we see the scan.
00:21I will come and find you as soon as I know, all right?
00:35I came here not for love, but for the possibility of setting free the love we knew for all of
00:44time.
00:46Don't you remember I said that I would not forget?
00:51Your memory is safe with me and you're in the way.
00:56The strangest things come to me in my sleep.
01:02I'll climb the rolling hills of a sort of state.
01:11I will be the hunter and you can light the fire.
01:17Keep it burning until I return.
01:20As darkness falls over and tied into you.
01:40Are you okay?
01:42Do you need me to get a doctor?
01:44There's nothing that they can do.
01:48I'm not sure that I want to go home.
01:50I'll take you wherever you need to go.
01:54Maybe we can just walk.
01:56Yeah.
01:58Yeah, we can do that.
02:05I can't believe it.
02:08Yeah, me neither.
02:12The baby's gone.
02:37You're going to be a wonderful father one day.
02:39It's just that this time, I know it's hard to hear, but maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
02:45That's what I keep trying to tell myself.
02:48Mate, I'm really sorry.
02:52If there's anything that we can do for you or for Georgia, just say the word.
02:57Thanks, mate.
02:58I appreciate it.
03:01There's nothing you can do.
03:03Just got to get through it, I suppose.
03:06It will be alright.
03:08As long as we get through this together.
03:20Hey.
03:24Comfort food from Grant.
03:27Thanks.
03:31She's really sorry.
03:33So is Chris.
03:37This is going to take time.
03:40I get that.
03:43But I know we can get through this together.
03:48We're not together anymore.
03:52Yeah, but we can still support each other.
03:55Together or not.
04:00We're not a couple anymore.
04:05We're only spending so much time together because of the baby.
04:14Look, I really appreciate everything that you've done for me.
04:18Especially today.
04:21And I can see that you're hurting.
04:25The baby.
04:28The baby's gone.
04:30So you shouldn't feel obligated to me anymore.
04:33I never felt obligated.
04:36Look, all I'm saying is that you should go back to your old life without me.
04:43Wait.
04:47You don't want to see me?
04:50No, I'm just...
04:53Things were complicated and now they're not.
04:55So what I think would be best is if we just dealt with this on our own, with our own
05:00families.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Yeah, I'll get it.
05:07Okay, take care.
05:09Take care.
05:17Take care.
05:34Everybody.
05:50Nigel.
05:50The baby's gone.
05:51The baby's gone.
05:56The baby.
05:56We go to the baby's gone.
06:08I don't know.
06:35Hey, mate. You okay?
06:40How long you been standing here?
06:42No idea.
06:45Just don't know what to do with myself at the moment.
06:48How's it going with Georgia?
06:50It's not.
06:52Are you still shutting you out?
06:54Yep.
06:58Have you thought about maybe going back to work for a bit?
07:01You know, focus on something else for a while?
07:05Maybe.
07:08All right, well, I've got to get the tape, but, um...
07:11You know, just text if you want to get a beer later.
07:13Yeah, sure.
07:39It looks beautiful.
07:42Well, I did it all by hand.
07:51I thought that we'd, um, pop by and say hello to Dad.
07:55Wow.
07:56I guess I'm gonna have to get used to being called that.
07:59Hey there, little bub.
08:00Hey there, little bub.
08:15Hey.
08:17Patricia.
08:19Hey, hey.
08:20Sorry.
08:21I was miles away.
08:23I heard you found out about Hudson.
08:25How are you feeling?
08:28My son's got a boyfriend in jail for manslaughter.
08:30How would you feel?
08:31Well, I feel worried.
08:32I feel really worried.
08:34Well, uh, at least I understand why Chris has been avoiding me.
08:38I know it was my fault.
08:39No, it wasn't.
08:40I saw Chris earlier.
08:42I mean, you still haven't told him about your addiction, have you?
08:44I was thinking I'll just wait till George gets back from Greece and I'll tell them both things.
08:48Yes, but the longer that you leave it, the more you're putting yourself at risk.
08:51I appreciate your concern, but it isn't necessary.
08:55Will I see you at the meeting this afternoon?
08:56I'll go try.
08:57Please do.
09:00Now, the watch was valued at about $50.
09:04But there were ones next to her worth a couple of hundred.
09:06Yeah, she obviously didn't know the difference.
09:08Sounds like we're dealing with an amateur.
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11Yeah, normally they're locked up, but I've been showing them to a customer and hadn't put them back in the
09:14cabinet, so...
09:15And the woman you described, what makes you sure it was her?
09:18Just the way she hung around the shop.
09:20A little bit jumpy, nervous.
09:21Never going to see that watch again, Matt.
09:24We'll stand a better chance once we get your CCTV footage.
09:27I'll get right on it.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Thanks, Reg.
09:29Stay dry.
09:31Chris, you got a minute?
09:33Yeah, what's up?
09:34I don't suppose you saw anyone hanging around the antique store, acting suspicious.
09:38Would have been a woman, early to mid-40s, brunette, wearing navy blouse, cream pants, beige shoes...
09:43About an hour and a half ago.
09:45No, no, sorry, I can't help.
09:46I've been at TAFE most of the morning.
09:47All right, fair enough.
09:50What did she do?
09:51Stole the watch, allegedly.
09:53Ah, well, hope you catch her.
09:56Hello.
09:58It's fantastic to see some new faces here today, so welcome.
10:03I'd like to stress that there's no obligation to share or to say anything if you're not ready, okay?
10:09Um, first of all, let's run through some of the things...
10:15If you could just excuse me for one minute.
10:19Hey, I'm so glad you came.
10:21You don't know what I've done.
10:22Why, what's happened?
10:23I couldn't stop myself.
10:25You gambled, yeah?
10:26I've just come straight from the pokies.
10:29Lost everything I had.
10:30Yes, where you were going before, yeah.
10:33I feel so disgusted with myself.
10:36When did I become this pathetic?
10:37Okay, stop.
10:40You've got to stop beating yourself up about this.
10:42You should be proud that you've come here.
10:45And let's just go into the meeting.
10:49Patricia, you need this.
10:53Hearing some of your stories, I guess I'm lucky.
10:57I haven't gambled thousands of dollars away or lost my house.
11:03But I've done things I'm deeply ashamed of.
11:08The stupid thing is I really felt like I was doing well.
11:13Well, I'd almost forgotten about it all.
11:17Patricia, perhaps you could talk about what's triggered it this time.
11:25I've been feeling really isolated.
11:27My husband's away and my son...
11:31is pretty distant.
11:36And then I found out why.
11:38Sort of by accident.
11:40And I just...
11:43I just lost it.
11:47I don't want to sound like I'm blaming my son or not.
11:52This is my problem.
11:56And I'm here to take responsibility for that.
12:06Thank you so much for sharing.
12:08You did so well.
12:10It felt...
12:11It felt good to see everyone being so understanding.
12:16Hello.
12:17Hi.
12:18Patricia Pappas?
12:19Yes.
12:20I need to ask you some questions in relation to a thing.
12:23Can you accompany me to the station?
12:35Matt, can you please just let me speak to her?
12:37After Patricia's given a statement.
12:39OK, I'm going to go get Jared.
12:40You don't have to do that.
12:41No, look, you might need legal advice.
12:43I stole Sonia.
12:45I deserve to be punished.
12:47Mum?
12:48Mum?
12:48What's going on?
12:51I stole a watch.
12:53What?
12:54I don't understand.
12:56Why?
13:00Oh, Chris.
13:05I'm an addict.
13:07I gamble.
13:10I'm afraid this is going to have to wait.
13:13This wait, please.
13:16Mum?
13:26You knew?
13:27Yes.
13:28All this interest in me was because of this.
13:32What didn't you tell me?
13:34Confidentiality is us.
13:34Oh, you hypocrite.
13:37Confidentiality didn't matter when you blabbed about Hudson.
13:39I wanted to tell you.
13:41Well, you should have.
13:42And now she's in here.
13:44Yeah, thanks a lot.
13:45I wanted to help, really.
13:46Can you please leave?
13:48I don't know.
14:02How long are they going to keep her in there?
14:04She'll be released as soon as she's processed.
14:06And then what?
14:07Would she have a record?
14:08Would she go to jail?
14:10Oh, jail is highly unlikely.
14:12They'll probably put her into a diversion program.
14:14Have to pay restitution, do community service, attend counselling.
14:18For an addiction that I knew nothing about.
14:21We'll look after her.
14:23What do I tell my dad?
14:25Well, that's something you should probably talk about with your mum.
14:29How about I go in there and try to speak things up then?
14:40She's going to be all right, Chris.
14:42How do you know?
14:44Oh, wait.
14:45You would know.
14:47You know more about my own mother than I do.
14:50You had so many chances to tell me it, sir.
14:54I just don't get it.
15:05How'd you go?
15:06Oh, I offered him a free tune-up.
15:08What?
15:09I thought you went over to apologise?
15:10Yeah, I felt guilty, man.
15:11The guy's a good bloke.
15:13You're not responsible for your mum's actions.
15:15You know that, right?
15:16How is she?
15:17Well, she's still at the station.
15:19Taking their time processing her.
15:21Is one of those mine?
15:22Yeah.
15:23Look, I can finish up here if you want to get going.
15:25No, no, it's fine.
15:26Thanks.
15:27There's not much I can do right now, anyway.
15:30I didn't even know she had a problem.
15:33The first I heard of it was today.
15:35And the worst thing is, Sonia knew about it, but she didn't tell me.
15:39Why not?
15:40Well, she was running the GA meetings mum went to.
15:42She couldn't break her confidence.
15:43I guess she was just trying to do the right thing, then.
15:46Why didn't mum come to me?
15:48The only one that can answer that is your mum.
15:51Maybe.
15:54Maybe not.
15:55Stuff it.
15:57Where are you going?
15:58Get some answers.
16:02Come.
16:04Come.
16:09Can I get you anything?
16:10How long has my mum been gambling?
16:13A while.
16:15How long's a while?
16:16Chris, I can't say.
16:18What set it off?
16:18I can't say.
16:19My mum doesn't do this kind of thing.
16:21She wouldn't even put a bet on the Melbourne Cup.
16:23Okay, okay.
16:26Gambling addiction, it's a disease.
16:29People gamble to make themselves feel better,
16:31to relieve their anxiety, to escape.
16:33I mean, that's what addicts do.
16:36Why does she feel bad about herself?
16:37Is that something that you're going to have to discuss with your mum?
16:39Is there something I did?
16:41Or Dad?
16:43Is it because I was avoiding her?
16:46Because of Hudson?
16:48Is that why you wanted me to tell her about him?
16:53I can't say.
16:57But this is her story, Chris.
16:59I can't betray her confidence.
17:01But I'm actually really glad that this is all out in the open
17:03because you need to start communicating with her.
17:09Hey, Toad, what's up?
17:13Okay, cool.
17:13Yeah, I'll be right down.
17:15Thanks.
17:19They're released, Mum.
17:20Okay.
17:22I'm just so sorry, Chris, that I can't help you.
17:24Yeah, I have to go.
17:35Who's here?
17:35Who's here?
17:36It's Dad, Dad, Dad.
17:39Hello.
17:40Mwah.
17:41Yeah.
17:43Hey, how's Patricia going?
17:45Yeah, she's a bit shaken up, but Chris is with her.
17:47Okay, that's good.
17:48That's good.
17:48I'll give her a call later.
17:50I'm more interested in how you're going.
17:52Chris kind of let you have it, didn't he?
17:54Well, he's hurting and he needs someone to blame, so he's blaming me.
17:57Mm-hmm.
17:59I mean, some of what he said did stick.
18:01What if I did make things worse?
18:04You know, I keep thinking maybe there's another way,
18:05there's another strategy I could have used to get him and Patricia communicating, you know?
18:09Okay.
18:10Like what?
18:11I don't know.
18:11I actually don't know, but I'm just not sure that I handled it in the best way.
18:15Chris is just so angry.
18:17Well, he's embarrassed because he didn't know that his mum had a problem.
18:20I know, but you make these decisions and you hope that they'll help,
18:23but I feel like I don't know what I'm doing.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:27I'm sorry.
18:28You didn't want me to do this job in the first place,
18:30and here I am complaining to you about it.
18:33I always wondered whether or not I made the right decisions with the client, you know,
18:36whether I could have developed a better case.
18:38Well, it's okay to doubt yourself because that's what makes you better.
18:42You just can't let it get too big in your own head.
18:44I know, but it's too late for that.
18:45My head's spinning, Jared.
18:47Okay, you did your best.
18:48That's all you can do.
18:50Learn from it and move on.
18:54Yeah.
19:00Um, do we get a check?
19:03Yes, uh, just hang on a second.
19:07Hey.
19:08Hey.
19:09How's your mum?
19:10It's good.
19:11She's with a friend.
19:12Uh, thanks again for all your help.
19:15Yeah, now, listen, I know what you're going through is really tough,
19:18but you can't take it out on Sonia, all right?
19:21She was in a difficult situation knowing about your mum's addiction.
19:24Mate, she should have told me.
19:25No, her priority was to your mum's anonymity.
19:29She does everything that she can to help people at those meetings,
19:31and one of those things is not betraying people's trust.
19:35Now, she agonised over what to do about your mum and you.
19:37Yeah, I know she meant well.
19:38No, no, she did more than mean well.
19:39She tried her hardest to get you two to talk.
19:42She would never do anything to hurt your family.
19:44So just drop the attitude, okay?
19:53What for?
19:54I was just sticking up for my lady.
20:00So, uh, how are you feeling?
20:03Uh, you know.
20:05You?
20:06Yeah, same.
20:08I guess.
20:10Susan stopped by.
20:11She said you haven't been at work.
20:17Um, thanks for this.
20:20I think that it is a lovely idea to have a ceremony and put it.
20:25You do?
20:26Yeah.
20:27Yeah.
20:29So when do you want to have the ceremony?
20:30Um, how about today?
20:35Um, how about today?
20:51I think the ceremony that are gathered here today would have been a big part of your life.
20:56But sadly, today, we have to say goodbye.
21:02Whenever we're in this special place, whenever we see this rose, we'll remember you.
21:12You will always be with us.
21:15It would have been so good to meet you.
21:20But I reckon I've got a fair idea what you would have been like.
21:24Always on the go.
21:26Always on the go.
21:27Into everything.
21:30And running around the backyard with Bossy.
21:36Always getting into trouble.
21:38Like me.
21:44Tell me then.
21:52I wish that I could have had the chance to know you.
21:56To travel through life with you.
22:00To be with you every single step of the way.
22:07But even though you can't be by my side,
22:13I will always carry you with me in my heart.
22:21Because you are my precious baby.
22:26And I love you so much.
22:29I set the world alive.
22:31If years within a night.
22:34And memories never lie.
22:38Tell me that I'm right.
22:42Tell me that I'm right.
22:52Tell me that I'm right.
22:53Well, thank you.
22:54I wasn't sure if it would.
22:56But today really helped.
22:59Same here.
23:02Would you like to, I don't know, have a cup of coffee, go back outside and spend some time together?
23:13Um, no, I'm sorry, I can't, I've got to go to work.
23:17What? You are kidding.
23:22No.
23:24This ceremony was to help us move forward, Kyle.
23:28Staying shut up at home isn't going to do you any good.
23:30Yeah, I know.
23:31This isn't easy for me, but I'm trying to get back to some kind of normality, so maybe you should
23:35do the same.
23:41How's work?
23:42Oh, it's a bit samey sometimes, but, you know, it's fine.
23:46That's good.
23:49And after work, do you have anything planned?
23:51Chris, stop checking up on me.
23:53I don't like it. It's not what I'm doing.
23:57I've got a fair few years ahead of you, if you didn't notice.
24:01I can look after myself.
24:03Yeah, I just worry about you, that's all.
24:05Which is lovely.
24:07But you need to tone it down.
24:09I mean, your father's coming home soon.
24:12Right.
24:13You're not going to tell him about my gambling, are you?
24:15No.
24:18But maybe you should.
24:20No.
24:20If we all take this on together, we can beat it.
24:24Strength in numbers, you know?
24:26I can't.
24:27I'm sorry.
24:31So you haven't heard any more?
24:33No, the court date is still set for two weeks' time, and like I said, she has got a very
24:37good chance of getting off without a conviction.
24:39So just try not to stress, okay?
24:42Yeah.
24:42Thanks, man.
24:43I appreciate it.
24:44See you.
24:45See ya.
24:47Chris.
24:49I have something for you.
24:54What's this?
24:56It's what I borrowed.
24:57All of it.
25:00Do you get this gambling?
25:01Oh, of course not.
25:03I do have a job.
25:04I earn money.
25:05Yeah, I know, but...
25:06But you don't trust me, do you?
25:11I need you to trust me, Chris.
25:14I'm telling you the truth.
25:16And I need you on my side.
25:24I've turned a corner with the pokies.
25:26I can feel it.
25:28I couldn't have done that without you.
25:31I'm sorry I shouldn't have doubted you.
25:33So you'll trust me?
25:36I'll try.
25:38I promise.
25:40That means a lot.
25:49Thanks so much for meeting me.
25:51It's okay.
25:54I'm not coming to the GA meetings anymore if that's what this is about.
25:58What do you mean?
26:00I've decided to go cold turkey.
26:03Why?
26:03Why now?
26:06Well, George is coming back next week.
26:08If I'm going to the meetings all the time, it'll be hard to hide it from him.
26:11Yes, but you can't give this a secret, Patricia.
26:14Yes, I can.
26:14I've done it before.
26:15Yes, but that was years ago.
26:16Still, if I've done it before, I can do it again.
26:20Okay, look, I don't want to be harsh with you, but I have to be honest.
26:25Go ahead.
26:26You're kidding yourself.
26:28You're nowhere near ready to be out on your own.
26:30You need help.
26:34Thanks for your concern.
26:36And I mean that.
26:39You've been a great support, but I've made up my mind.
26:43Okay, can you just think about this for a second?
26:45It is too risky.
26:46I have thought about it.
26:49I don't need your help anymore.
26:51And I'd like it if you could respect my wishes.
26:59Oh, sorry.
27:02So, what goes with Gressley?
27:04Chips or chocolate?
27:04Oh, oh, oh, both, both, both.
27:06Hey, I like the way you think.
27:08Hey, I'm, is it okay?
27:10I'm just going to go check in with Chris really quickly about his mum.
27:13Yeah?
27:14Yeah, yeah, sure.
27:15Okay.
27:19Hey, have you spoken to your mum today?
27:22Um, earlier.
27:23Why?
27:24Look, I know you're annoyed at me because I couldn't be honest with you last week,
27:27but now everything's out in the open, there's something you should know.
27:29What's going on?
27:30Well, Patricia said she won't be going to any more meetings.
27:33Yeah, I think I know why.
27:35It's because Dad's coming home soon.
27:37Okay, well, it's really important that we change her mind.
27:39Well, how?
27:40Every time I try discussing it with her, she accuses me of not trusting it.
27:45I'm just making things worse.
27:47I mean, can you give me some advice on how to handle this?
27:50Because I'm way out of my depth here.
27:54You know what?
27:55Chris needs you, so you should stay and help.
27:58Are you sure?
27:59Absolutely.
28:01Okay, well, you go home and you start watching the wrestling
28:04and then I'll be home as soon as I can, okay?
28:06Sounds like a plan.
28:09Um.
28:13Okay, so tell me what Patricia actually said today.
28:18You said to come by and pick up some brochures on gambling addiction?
28:21Yeah, of course.
28:25Also, I never properly apologised for the way I blamed you
28:29when I found out about Mum.
28:31Apology accepted.
28:34Have you thought about going to these?
28:37Support network meeting?
28:39Yeah, it's where the children and partners of Gamblers get together to, um,
28:44hey, to help each other.
28:46Uh, I think about it, yeah.
28:47Yeah.
28:49Come here.
28:51Thank you so much, Sonia.
28:55And thank you too, Toadie, for representing Mum next week.
28:58Yeah, no worries.
29:00Anyway, I'd better run.
29:01Thanks.
29:02Okay.
29:02Okay.
29:04Thanks.
