00:01You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever, no matter where you are, you're my guiding star.
00:18And from the very first moment I saw you, I never felt such emotion, I'm walking on it, just to
00:33know, you are there, you are there.
00:37Hold me in your arms, don't let me go, I want to stay forever, closer each day, home and away.
01:07Ruth, since when do I have to do everything on your timeline?
01:09This is a reminder to get a medical assessment so that you can renew your license, but this is a
01:14month old.
01:15It means you've missed the deadline.
01:17Eh?
01:17But you're not licensed to drive.
01:20I'll sort it out when I'm good and ready.
01:22So is your first visit since we broke up as scary as you thought?
01:26You're always scary.
01:29Oh, look at us, nailing this whole platonic thing.
01:32Can you help me with this?
01:33Yeah, they get a bit sticky sometimes.
01:35There's this seafood place in Roof to Lakes I want to try, want to check it out?
01:40Sure.
01:40There's also a DJ, so there's dancing, if you're up for it.
01:44The hour might be.
01:55Abby!
01:56Hey!
01:57Hey!
01:58Do you need a hand?
01:59No, no, I'm good.
02:01So I see you enjoyed your coffee down at the beach then?
02:03Yeah.
02:04How was it?
02:06It was good.
02:07One of your best.
02:08Yeah.
02:09And the other one.
02:10Also one of my best.
02:12What do you ask?
02:13I'm just part of the customer service.
02:15I didn't hear any complaints.
02:18Huh.
02:19I should have done this earlier.
02:21I have to work for the next couple hours, but we can get dinner later if you're free.
02:26I'd love to, but I've got plans.
02:30Anything interesting?
02:32No.
02:33Just, you know, stuff to do.
02:36No.
02:37Oh, arms.
02:39After you.
02:39No, no.
02:40After you.
02:45Hey.
02:46Hey.
02:47Spoke to the hospital again.
02:48Still no change of attorney.
02:49All right.
02:50How's Joe going?
02:52Scared.
02:53Just trying to step positive.
02:54Oi.
02:55Who's that kid?
02:58You're out when you arrive.
02:59Hey.
03:02Paperwork signed.
03:03Sergeant Langham.
03:04On your desk.
03:05And it's Sarge.
03:07Say hello to our newest recruit.
03:09This is Senior Constable Cash Newman.
03:11I'm sure he'll be happy to show you around.
03:13Constable Richard Bresniak.
03:15Probationary.
03:16Constable.
03:16Everyone calls me Richie.
03:18Right.
03:18Well, welcome to the team, Richie.
03:20It's a great station here.
03:22You're going to have a good time.
03:22Yeah.
03:23I can't wait.
03:25All right.
03:26Well, I'm going to knock off the day.
03:27I guess I might send you those reports I was working on in the morning, if that's right
03:29with you, Sarge.
03:29I can always take care of it.
03:31That's not going to be necessary, Bresniak.
03:32You're a senior.
03:33It's my job, isn't it?
03:34Yeah, I'll leave this with you two.
03:36I'll see you for your first shift tomorrow.
03:37All right.
03:38See ya.
03:41Oi, Bresniak.
03:42Yeah.
03:43How long have you been out of the academy for?
03:45A week.
03:45A week.
03:46Yeah.
03:46A week.
03:47A week.
03:47How do you feel about grabbing a beer?
03:49Give me a heads up on how things work around you.
03:52Yeah?
03:52You know where the surf club is?
03:54I'll find it.
03:55All right.
03:55See you then.
03:56See you there.
03:57Yeah.
04:04I'm happy to take that shift tomorrow, if you like.
04:07Marilyn, you shouldn't be working tonight.
04:09What's going on?
04:11Woo, hi.
04:12I wasn't expecting you here.
04:14Yeah, well, Dad's working and I thought I might come here to eat.
04:17And I'll say he's being so frustrating.
04:18What's happened now?
04:19Oh, well, he missed the medical appointment to get his licence renewed and he drove all
04:24the way back from Mum's without realising it.
04:26And now he's digging his heels in about ringing in the GP.
04:29Shoot, but, Rue, I get why this is important.
04:32It is.
04:33Yeah, but he's going to pass that assessment with flying colours.
04:36It's Alph.
04:37His sharpest attack.
04:39I don't think there's anything wrong with him.
04:40It's just, it's illegal to drive without a licence.
04:43And I want to make sure that he's safe on the road.
04:45Things change of age.
04:47You know, eyesight, reaction times.
04:50You're also more experienced.
04:52You tend to take less risks.
04:53It's something that he can't ignore, so.
04:56Yeah.
04:59So, what's the deal with Sarge?
05:01Any tips for staying on his good side?
05:03You know, Sarge is hardline.
05:04Likes to do things by the book.
05:05Well, it's a nut.
05:06He's fair.
05:07And straight up, you're not going to leave work wondering what he thinks like that.
05:10Yeah, yeah.
05:10So how come he's got a scene he comes to work doing paperwork?
05:13And there's another two of his job.
05:14Yeah, a couple of larger things.
05:16Yeah.
05:16I'm just trying to understand.
05:18I want to keep him on side.
05:19Yeah, of course.
05:20Oh, sorry.
05:21That's the wife.
05:22She's probably wondering where I am.
05:23Hey, babe.
05:24Yeah, I'm just down at salt taking the new guy out for a beer.
05:29My brother-in-law takes his job pretty seriously.
05:32I'm at the gal.
05:33Oh, Richie.
05:34We'll be working together soon.
05:36What is he like?
05:37Is there anything I should know?
05:39With cash?
05:41What you see is what you get.
05:44And?
05:45That's pretty much all there is to it.
05:47He's a good guy.
05:47It's all you need to know.
05:49Okay.
05:50Well, I mean, there is one thing if you really wanted to get him on side.
05:53Yeah.
05:55Yeah.
05:55He absolutely loves pranks.
05:57Being pranked, playing them.
05:59And if you can get him good, that's instant respect.
06:02Do it that way you will.
06:23Hello.
06:25What are you up to?
06:26Oh, you know, just going for my morning walk.
06:28How'd you go?
06:29Did you catch anything?
06:29Nah, not even a nibble.
06:31Oh, that's a shame.
06:32You were up so early and everything.
06:34You're keeping tabs on me.
06:35No.
06:36Don't be silly.
06:38Oh, I was wondering whether you had actually found time to make that appointment with the doctor.
06:43No, I got a fair bit on this morning.
06:45Okay.
06:45Well, you know, I can help.
06:47I can make the appointment for you.
06:48I don't need your help.
06:49And I don't need some flaming test that's going to tell me what I already know of.
06:53Actually, you do, Dad.
06:55It's the law.
06:56I'm as fit as a mulley bull.
06:57Okay.
06:57Well, then there shouldn't be any stress about having a medical, okay?
07:00It's just a formality.
07:02I can drive as good as anyone.
07:04In fact, I taught you.
07:05So why aren't you having the appointment test?
07:06Because I'm not 75 years and over.
07:08Look, I know it's annoying.
07:10All right.
07:11And I think there's a time when we should all have a medical test.
07:14We were talking about it last night.
07:15Who's we?
07:17Oh, well, you know, Leah and Justin.
07:19Well, Leah and Justin shouldn't mind their own flaming business.
07:22Dad, we care about you.
07:24Could you please just make the appointment?
07:35You like the place, huh?
07:36Uh, can't keep away.
07:39I'm doing the coffee run this morning.
07:40Sar just told me all chat.
07:41It's my show.
07:42That's why I'm here.
07:42Oh, no, you don't have to.
07:47Is that coffee ready?
07:48Uh-huh.
07:49Did you have a late night?
07:51Oh, no, I just had to get up early for a class.
07:55Well, you look pretty cheerful for someone who hasn't slept that much.
07:58It was a good class.
08:00Really good.
08:01Great.
08:02So, was last night fun?
08:05Do you really need to know?
08:07I'm just being polite.
08:08You know, we're not together anymore.
08:09You can do whatever you want.
08:11Cool.
08:16Here we go.
08:17Thanks, Abigail.
08:18No, no, it's Abby, please.
08:20Uh, Abby, then.
08:23You look really good in your uniform.
08:25Thanks.
08:26Yeah, it feels good, you know.
08:28Well, it suits you.
08:30Yeah, the blue does amazing things for your eyes.
08:33You look pretty good yourself.
08:35What, me?
08:35Yeah, definitely.
08:37Trust me, I know what I like.
08:38Sar is not going to be happy if you keep him waiting.
08:42You're using the other people in your breakup games.
08:45It's not cool, Abby.
08:59Richie!
09:00Wait!
09:02Um...
09:02Hello again.
09:03Hi!
09:04Hi!
09:05Um...
09:06I need to apologise.
09:09For what?
09:10The flirting.
09:12I shouldn't have done that.
09:13You're a customer.
09:14Ah, it's...
09:14It's fine.
09:15And honestly, I was only doing it to get back in my eyes.
09:19Ah.
09:20Yeah.
09:22The guy you were talking to before me?
09:24Mm-hmm.
09:25I just needed to explain, and I'm really sorry.
09:31Did it work?
09:33Is he jealous now?
09:35Nope.
09:36He missed the whole thing.
09:37Guess that says me, right?
09:40You want to know what I think?
09:42What?
09:45I think your ex must be an idiot.
09:50Well, he's really not.
09:54Um...
09:55Good luck with your first day today.
09:57I'll see you around.
09:59I think it's supposed to be an idiot.
10:00Yeah.
10:02See you around.
10:06Good morning.
10:07Yeah.
10:07This is nice.
10:09What are we doing today?
10:10Well, it depends on whether I can get Dad in to see his doctor.
10:13Ask the butterflies, Mother.
10:15I know you don't want to talk about this, Dad, but we need to do this.
10:18What do you mean, we?
10:19Well, because you legally can't drive, I'm going to have to give you a lift.
10:22I didn't ask, but...
10:23I'm offering.
10:23Oh, Dad?
10:24Mr. Stewart?
10:25I've lost my appetite.
10:27Oh, come on.
10:27I don't need anyone telling me what to do, Rue.
10:30Especially not my own daughter.
10:31You know what?
10:32I wouldn't have to.
10:33If you actually had...
10:34Where are you going?
10:35Out.
10:41So that guard has been released from Reefden Lakes private.
10:44He'll make a full recovery.
10:45That's a good time.
10:46And the DPP just called.
10:48Kerry Matheson has decided to plead guilty to all charges.
10:51Oh.
10:52And she's decided to do the right thing after causing light damage.
10:54Yeah, we just have to hope that Tarnier makes a full recovery.
10:56There you go, Sarge.
10:57Thanks, Ritchie.
10:58You're welcome.
11:01Thanks, Ritchie.
11:03You a problem, Newman?
11:05No.
11:07I'm going to get started on the paperwork.
11:08Change of plan.
11:09You're taking the young fella out on patrol.
11:11Restricted duties.
11:12Can't do it.
11:13You're on whatever duties I say you're on.
11:16Yes, Sarge?
11:17Look, he's obviously keen to learn.
11:19He'll be lucky to shadow you and he'll be in good hands.
11:25You need to go home.
11:26No.
11:26Change.
11:27No.
11:27No.
11:32Gotcha.
11:33You know, I heard you love pranks, so you heard wrong.
11:39Oh, sorry.
11:40Grab your gear.
11:41We're going out on patrol.
11:42What have we got?
11:43We've got traffic duty, Bresniak.
11:45Get rid of that.
11:48Yeah, I'm sorry.
11:58Mr. Stewart, everything all right?
12:01Yeah, it would be if my daughter stopped trying to run my life.
12:05Oh, and before I forget, I met a friend of yours in the caravan park.
12:09Said her name was Lily.
12:11I should get back to this.
12:12Hey, hang on.
12:13She gave me your spare key to give back to you.
12:17Thanks, Mr. Stewart.
12:18See you later.
12:29Oh, g'day.
12:29It's Alf Stewart calling.
12:31I was wondering if the doc would have any time to see me today.
12:42Look, I'm sorry about the prank earlier.
12:45I was told you're a big fan, you know?
12:47I was just trying to get some points with you.
12:49Who told you that I was a fan of pranks?
12:51Ah.
12:52Abigail?
12:54Yeah.
12:55Abigail.
12:56Yeah.
12:57She said you loved pranks and that I'd get instant respect from you.
13:01Okay, let me correct you there.
13:02You get zero respect.
13:07Why would she tell me something that wasn't true?
13:09Keep your eyes on the road.
13:23Was she trying to get my attention?
13:25I don't know.
13:26She must be though, right?
13:27You got my take on the job?
13:29You need to keep a clear boundary between your personal and your professional life.
13:35Yeah.
13:36Yeah, you understand?
13:36We're working right now.
13:37Let's try to focus on the job.
13:39Good call.
13:39Okay.
13:40Yeah, good call.
13:41Oh, hang on a sec.
13:48Oi, we got a live one.
13:50Rego's expired.
13:51Okay, all right.
13:52Hey, let's pull him over.
14:08What seems to be the problem, officer?
14:11I know I wasn't speeding.
14:12Your registration's expired.
14:15Were you aware of that, Mr. Stewart?
14:18It's news to me.
14:20Are you sure?
14:21I am.
14:22Can I see your licence, please, sir?
14:26There's a problem with that.
14:29It's expired, too.
14:32You're right, sir.
14:34That is a problem.
14:47It's unbelievable.
14:49So, I walk outside, and his car is gone after everything we talked about.
14:53Really?
14:54Yes.
14:55I'm really surprised he would drive today.
14:57Well, it's illegal.
14:57He can't drive.
14:58So, does he not care, or did he forget?
15:01Oh, Dad!
15:02Oh, Dad!
15:03Wait.
15:04Um, are you okay?
15:06I was driving to see the doctor, and these blokes pulled me over.
15:11Probationary Constable Richard Bresniak.
15:12And we are just here because we drove Alf's car home, but there's nothing to worry about.
15:16We can sort this out.
15:17Oh, well, driving with an expired licence in an unregistered car, I'd say that's cause for concern.
15:21Did you let your rego lapse?
15:25Slipped my mind.
15:27There's keys right there.
15:28Oh, yeah.
15:29They're mine.
15:30Well, I've got to go to work, and you guys must be really busy.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:32What happens now?
15:33Well, as I said, you'll be facing charges, and there's a substantial fine.
15:38Hang on.
15:38Just a second.
15:41It's the first offence on both counts, correct?
15:44All right, how about you sort everything out, and we let you off with a warning?
15:47I broke the flamin' law.
15:49Just give me a fine.
15:50I think Cash is trying to help, Dad.
15:51For the last time, I don't need any help.
15:55Well.
15:57I guess I can start the paperwork at the station, if you like.
16:01You'll receive the infringement notices in the mail.
16:03Okay, Constable, let's go.
16:05I'll see you out.
16:06Yep.
16:07Thanks.
16:08Thanks, Ruth.
16:08Yeah, thanks.
16:16Thanks.
16:20Can we talk?
16:21It's not a good time, as you can see.
16:24I'm sorry about before.
16:25I didn't mean for you to hear that from Mr. Stewart.
16:28So why not tell me so?
16:30Because I didn't know how you'd feel about it.
16:33Look, it's not something that I saw coming.
16:35It just...
16:37happened.
16:39Okay, so why not be honest about it?
16:41You at least owe me that.
16:43You're right.
16:44I do.
16:50I went out for a date last night.
16:53Her name was Lily.
16:55We had a good time, and then she ended up staying at my place.
16:59Ah, hence the spare key.
17:01Yeah, but I really did have an early class.
17:05I didn't want to wake her up.
17:06You used to do that for me.
17:10We both made it clear that it was a one-time thing.
17:13Either way, it's not a problem.
17:15I just want you to feel like you can be honest with me.
17:17Yeah, I know.
17:19I just...
17:20I didn't want to hurt you.
17:25Are we good?
17:27Yeah, we're fine.
17:31Okay, I'm going to get to another lesson.
17:33All right, well, don't keep them waiting.
17:43The fact you know I'll steal it, that's not an issue.
17:46Mate, this is a small town, and I just doubt everybody, so I use discretion.
17:50Isn't that special treatment, Ray?
17:52Well, it's like I said.
17:53These are the decisions we have to make every day whilst we're out on patrol.
17:56What about conflict of interest?
17:58Look, if there was a grey area here, I would happily bring it to Sarge's attention.
18:02Are you okay?
18:04We pulled over, Alf Stewart.
18:06Right.
18:08Can I get you something, Sarge?
18:09A cup of tea, or...?
18:11Oh, I'm good, thanks.
18:12I could go grab the lunches.
18:14I could definitely eat.
18:15All right.
18:16I want it.
18:20I'm just keen to please.
18:21What's wrong with that?
18:24It's nice to have some new enthusiasm around here.
18:27Oh, is that what we're calling it?
18:28Oh, ease up, Newman.
18:30You were new to the job once.
18:32Now, talk to me about Alf.
18:34Why'd you have to pull him over?
18:38Hey, thank you so much for doing that.
18:40Where are we at?
18:41Just butt out, eh, really?
18:42Well, Dad, it's pretty hard to do that when you're escorted home by the police.
18:45Okay, the safety check inspection's been ticked off.
18:47I've sent all the details through online.
18:49Right, so his registration is up to date?
18:51Yes.
18:52Car's in good shape.
18:53So is the driver.
18:54Oh, that was pretty easy to do in the end, wasn't it?
18:56I know how to renew my registration, Roo.
18:59I just forgot, that's all.
19:00Happens to all of us, mate.
19:01I forget stuff all the time.
19:03Yeah, it's pretty easy to do.
19:04But look, I think I've fixed it.
19:05Okay, I've set up notifications on your phone to pay bills on time.
19:09And also, see, here's your next committee meeting.
19:12Did you put a reminder in there for you to keep your hands off my phone?
19:15Here's your next doctor's appointment.
19:16Okay, do you want me to show you how to use this?
19:18No, thanks.
19:19All right.
19:20Thanks, Justin.
19:21All right.
19:21Bye.
19:24It's not like him to forget me.
19:27I'm worried about him.
19:43Hi, you're back again.
19:44I really like the coffee here.
19:46Eh, service is all right, too.
19:49How's your birthday going?
19:50Great.
19:51You know, I'm learning a lot.
19:52I mean, this is all I've ever wanted.
19:54Don't wear the uniform, serve the community.
19:56Then there was the part when Cash bit my head off.
20:00Yeah, turns out he doesn't like pranks.
20:02You didn't.
20:03Did you actually?
20:04Yeah.
20:05Oh, my bad.
20:07Wait, what did you do?
20:08It involved a whoopee cushion.
20:10Please tell me you got it on video.
20:12No.
20:12Oh, I would pay to see that.
20:15Nice workout, Frank.
20:16I'm impressed.
20:17Look, I am sorry.
20:19But it was fun, sir.
20:20I'm glad.
20:21But given what you're going through with your ex, that doesn't sound like a lot of fun.
20:25Look, it's a bit up and down.
20:27But, you know, Molly's a good guy.
20:28And we're both really okay with moving on.
20:32So are you single by any chance?
20:35I...
20:35Yeah.
20:36Yeah, just enjoying life.
20:39Or would you want to enjoy it with me?
20:42Like, on a date?
20:44Yeah, why not?
20:48Is that a...
20:49Is that a yes?
20:50Yeah.
20:50Yeah.
20:50Yes.
20:51Yeah.
20:53Yeah, I'd, um...
20:54I'd really like that.
20:58If you wanted to check in on Alf and Rue, I can cover for you.
21:01Oh, thanks.
21:02I think it's better if I stay out a bit.
21:04It's tricky being stuck in the middle, isn't it?
21:06Oh, I'm not complaining.
21:07She does have a point.
21:09I mean, he does seem a bit overwhelmed.
21:11And here he is.
21:13Oh, hi.
21:14Did Justin sort everything out with your car?
21:16You heard about that, eh?
21:18Yes, he mentioned it.
21:20I suppose you know I got pulled over by the cops too, eh?
21:23Oh.
21:35Look, I'm...
21:37I'm sorry.
21:38It's just...
21:39All of a sudden, Rue's treating me like I'm a silly old fool.
21:44The last thing I want to be is a problem that she needs to fix.
21:52He's the friend Summer Bay can always count on.
21:56I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself.
21:59But something is about to happen.
22:01I'm going anyway.
22:03That will shock the bay.
22:05And there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
22:09Sir, we're going to need to ask you to accompany us to the station.
22:13What did Alf do?
22:18Home and Away.
22:20Weeknights at 7 on 7.
