03:57What's up?
03:58Sorry to wake you.
03:59Someone leaked the hospital security camera footage from the night Ash died.
04:05Right.
04:06I don't know if it's at our end or someone at the hospital who's had a gutful, but it's out
04:11there.
04:12Okay.
04:13Mary, I don't want you to watch it.
04:16I'm going to call Lillian too.
04:20It's...
04:21Just do a media blackout for a while.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Bye.
04:32What was that?
04:34It's just work.
04:45So, this journalist is married to the football coach and he's guest speaker at a rotary do
04:49last night.
04:50She's gone along for wife of support, but before he gets up to speak, she gets sent
04:54the leaked video.
04:56She shows him.
04:57He's disgusted, of course.
04:59Changes his speech to talk about the case.
05:03Makes it all about young men, values, on and off the field.
05:08Here.
05:10Know which bit I love?
05:12Harry calls it a coward punch.
05:13So much better than king hit, you know, more emotion.
05:17We need to send a message to young men.
05:19This is cowardly, sickening, and you'll not get away with it.
05:23I'm on a media blackout.
05:25Oh.
05:26That's right.
05:27Sorry.
05:28Sorry.
05:30We can imagine the kind of influence this has in the community.
05:33I mean, the judge making the decision could have been that.
05:37Should you be eating bacon?
05:39Is that good for you?
05:42Well, I only have it as a treat.
05:44Whatever.
05:45It's your heart.
05:46I mean, it's not, but...
05:50Yeah.
05:52I won't eat it.
05:53Fuck.
05:54Sorry.
05:55Eat it, please.
05:56No, no, you're right.
05:57No, I'm not.
05:57This whole thing is horrible.
06:03I shouldn't be talking about it.
06:05I was just excited that our strategy worked and...
06:12Maybe you can take me sightseeing today.
06:15I can't.
06:16Sorry.
06:16I have stuff to do.
06:38Hey.
06:41Hello.
06:43Did Fiona call you?
06:45I can't.
06:49You coming in?
06:51I just need to speak to Hamish.
06:53He's in the shed.
06:55Cool.
06:57Hamish told me about the lung recipient.
07:00Is she okay?
07:01Why?
07:02What do you need?
07:03A spot on 60 minutes.
07:05Fuck you, Lillian.
07:06That was Andrew's idea.
07:08Oh, fuck me.
07:09Okay, right.
07:11What's all this Andrew's idea shit anyway?
07:14Like, why are you hanging out with Andrew all the time?
07:17Do you think it's a little bit weird?
07:19Well, I'm not sleeping outside his house.
07:23Thank God he did help.
07:25Or else I'd still be stuck here, sidelined from my job.
07:28Having to spend time with your husband.
07:29Your soft, weak husband.
07:32Look, I didn't mean...
07:33Okay.
07:34What did you mean?
07:37Andrew is the only person who got what was going on with me.
07:41Who understood what needed to happen.
07:43Yeah, I know you don't want to hear this, but I knew that Hamish couldn't be there for me in
07:47the way that I needed.
07:49You couldn't handle it.
07:50I'm a train wreck.
07:53Fully off the rails.
07:55I'm a catastrophe.
07:57Every time I pick myself up, even just a little bit, I manage to somehow completely obliterate myself again.
08:04And every time I do that, who's there to help me get up?
08:09Hamish.
08:11He can handle anything.
08:26You're never going to lay an egg, you know.
08:29Because you're a man.
08:30And not a chicken.
08:33I said that because you're squatting like you're trying to lay an egg.
08:37Not getting any funnier.
08:40I'm picking up a tiny vibe that you might still be a little bit mad at me.
08:43So, in the interest of full disclosure, I am driving to Melbourne to meet Taylor Parkinson, the recipient of Asher's
08:49lungs.
08:51Just being honest.
08:56Have you at least given her some warning?
08:59This is not me.
09:00This is all her and her husband, Brendan.
09:03They want to meet me.
09:05It's not like I can say no after the whole stalking situation.
09:11Anyway, I just wanted you to know in case I get arrested or something.
09:17I'm not going to get arrested.
09:20Wait.
09:21So, are you going back to stay with your parents after that?
09:26What are you doing about the money?
09:30I just need to get through today.
09:32Bye.
10:03Okay.
10:03Just hang on there, buddy.
10:05No!
10:06Don't get me!
10:07Don't get me!
10:10Help!
10:12Help!
10:36I just saw Jeff Barry,
10:38a bank cross lawyer down at the courthouse.
10:40Barry pissed off, so I called my friend Sally.
10:42Do you remember Sally?
10:44You met her at the trivia night.
10:45She works for the, um, that doesn't matter.
10:47That doesn't matter.
10:48The plea change has been denied, okay?
10:51He's going to jail.
10:59It's okay.
11:01It's okay.
11:01We're okay.
11:03We're okay.
11:06We're okay.
11:19This is so fucking unfair.
11:21Why aren't we getting to go to trial?
11:23Because the judge decided there were insufficient grounds to change your plea.
11:27And this is bullshit.
11:28I've been stitched up by the media.
11:30And you, did you leak that footage?
11:33Of you punching a doctor who wasn't even looking at you?
11:36No.
11:37No, I didn't.
11:38I thought you were supposed to fix this.
11:40We didn't stand a chance after Brooke took the doctor's side.
11:43Oh, she's such a bitch.
11:44Which she might not have if you hadn't threatened her.
11:47Yeah, well, I'm going to get her.
11:50Where do you think you're going?
11:51Sit down!
11:55Jordan, you aren't going to do anything.
11:58Except get very good at washing dishes.
12:02Everything right here?
12:04Oh, good.
12:06We're done.
12:16Have you heard?
12:18I sure have.
12:19Wow, huh?
12:20Hey, I'm at the front of your place.
12:22Should we celebrate?
12:24Oh, I'm at work.
12:25Oh.
12:26Yeah, of course.
12:27Well, what about tonight?
12:29We'll go out for dinner.
12:30Mush out.
12:30Oh, that sounds so good, but I'm just getting match fit again here.
12:36I just left a message for Lillian.
12:38Yeah, I don't know.
12:39I think I'm going to be spent after my shift.
12:42Right.
12:43Yeah, no, that makes sense.
12:47Can we rain check, though?
12:48Absolutely.
12:49Yeah, we'll do it in style.
12:51With Kelly, too.
12:52She wouldn't want to miss out.
12:54OK, bye.
13:20Hello?
13:22Hello?
13:22Hello?
13:23Hello?
13:25Hey, Mish.
13:32Oh, jeez.
13:34Door was open.
13:35Oh, yeah.
13:36I, uh, like the breeze.
13:40Did you hear about Jordan?
13:41Yes.
13:42Amazing.
13:43Isn't it?
13:43I spoke to Mary.
13:44She sounded thrilled.
13:46Yeah.
13:47She was.
13:50Sorry, just let me.
13:52Yeah, yeah.
13:53All right.
13:57I love this, by the way.
14:00Oh, thanks.
14:02Did you do it?
14:03Wow.
14:05Did you do commissions?
14:07Oh, I don't get to flex the painting muscle too much these days.
14:11All right.
14:11I suppose all your creative juices go into the graphic design.
14:15Yeah.
14:17Oh.
14:18Yeah.
14:23Hey, Andrew, I just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts.
14:31For everything you've done.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Yeah.
14:39Anyway, listen, I just hope you might be free for lunch.
14:42Bit of a celebration.
14:44Ah.
14:45Actually, this afternoon's a bit jammed.
14:47Oh, okay.
14:48Just a few errands.
14:50Yeah.
14:50No worries.
14:51It's a very short notice.
14:54So.
14:55All right.
14:56I'll, um, I'll leave you to it.
14:59And, uh, yeah.
15:20Oh, that looks lovely.
15:22That really highlights your curves.
15:24Oh.
15:25I'll let my sister be the judge of that.
15:27She's the one with the eye for fashion.
15:29Janet.
15:31What do you think?
15:32Very nice.
15:34Really?
15:35Oh, that's my phone.
15:37She's right.
15:38You do have an eye.
15:40I like it too.
15:41I think the colour works really well with my skin tone.
15:44You know how I normally can't wear orange?
15:46Oh, that was Robbie.
15:48I'll call him back.
15:49Call him later.
15:49You're in the middle of something.
15:51Oh, I love the important that children have been home from childcare.
15:54They've had those nasty colds.
15:56Oh, hello, darling.
15:59Sorry I missed you.
16:00I'm shopping with Janet.
16:02Oh, wait.
16:04Wait, she's right here.
16:08Jordan Bancroft's plea change has been...
16:12He didn't get it.
16:14He's definitely going to jail.
16:17Thank you so much for letting us know, darling.
16:20Love you too.
16:24It's over.
16:27What's over?
16:29Oh, well, not over.
16:31But that part is.
16:33But we can start to put it behind us.
16:37Can we?
16:38He's getting justice.
16:40I mean, isn't that something?
16:41What about her?
16:44Who?
16:45Lillian.
16:46What about justice for what she did?
16:48How are we going here, ladies?

25:08I think so. Terrific result.
25:11Mmm.
25:13And the best part is now I get my husband back.
25:19I don't suppose you want to help me out on the badge-making stall on Saturday?
25:23Sounds fun, doesn't it?
25:25Why are we buying bacon?
25:28What?
25:30You know I'm not supposed to eat this.
25:32But I will if it's there.
25:35Where are all the healthy snacks?
25:38Since when is bacon a snack?
25:49What's wrong?
25:50Nothing.
25:51Well, that's plainly not true.
25:57Are we unpacking this?
25:58Or are you planning on flitting off again?
26:02I'm not going anywhere.
26:03Good.
26:04Because Anna Davenport is coming tomorrow.
26:06Finally.
26:07Who?
26:08The new viticulturist that's taking over from Steve.
26:11Oh, fuck, is she?
26:12Yes, we've been waiting to see her for three months.
26:16Actually...
26:17That's good.
26:18I'm going to ask her about soil samples.
26:22Okay.
26:24Well, don't be surprised when you see Matilde wearing your leather jacket in the play.
26:29What play?
26:44Mmm.
26:46That was delicious.
26:48I think it's really worth bringing the barbecue.
26:51I mean, they have the electric ones here, but I think you really missed that.
26:55That charcoal flavour, you know?
26:57Dad, push me!
26:59In a minute!
27:01I'll go.
27:01Oh, no, it's okay.
27:03I don't mind.
27:04It's all good.
27:05I'm actually an excellent pusher.
27:07No!
27:09Brendan!
27:11Don't be so rude!
27:12Sorry, but I just...
27:13I just don't...
27:15We don't...
27:16We don't know you.
27:17It's okay.
27:17Of course we do.
27:18Of course we do.
27:19No, we just know that she was sitting outside our house watching us.
27:22Yeah, and thank God, because she saved my life.
27:24I know, and I'm grateful.
27:25Of course I am.
27:26But I mean, like...
27:29How long were you doing that for?
27:30Why were you doing that?
27:32It doesn't matter.
27:32No, it does, Taylor!
27:34Lillian is from our donor family.
27:35I know.
27:36And what she has given us...
27:37Thank you enough for that.
27:38And for what you gave to us.
27:41But...
27:41I mean...
27:43She was sleeping outside our house.
27:46She said that she was your sister.
27:47That's not normal.
27:49Sorry, but...
27:51You're not normal.
27:52You're not normal.
27:55Really?
27:58Um...
28:03I might just call it over.
28:06To go to Ballarat.
28:22Was that the big Ikea?
28:24Yes.
28:25Why are we up this far?
28:29Where are we going?
28:32Caroline, what are you doing?
28:34Caroline!
28:35Stop right now!
28:37What do you think you're doing?
28:40Turn this car around right this second.
28:42You need to collect his ashes.
28:45Not for you.
28:46For him.
28:48You gave Ashley the most beautiful funeral.
28:52The flowers.
28:53The string quartet.
28:54You spared no expense.
28:56You gave him everything in that funeral to say a fitting goodbye.
29:01And he can't just sit on some shelf forever.
29:07It's not right.
29:24I'm making an electric sword, so I put the gray parts on here.
29:29Mummy?
29:30It's mummy.
29:31Yeah.
29:33Am I taking a ludicrously priced slab of cheese out of the fridge now?
29:38Babe, I'm so sorry.
29:39No!
29:41We've had a multi-car collision.
29:43No, you haven't.
29:44There's loads of injuries.
29:46It's a mess.
29:47Well, can't the others handle it?
29:48It's all hands on deck.
29:51I'm sorry, honey.
29:54How late do you think?
29:57I don't know.
29:59I've got to go.
30:00Sam's calling me.
30:02I love you.
30:04I love you too.
30:05But your job's stupid.
30:12Mm-hmm.
30:17See you tomorrow, Mary.
30:20Have a good night.
30:21Yeah.

31:53look obviously you finding her in the driveway was so lucky but it was the worst thing that could
32:00have happened she wants to be perfect for you that's why she's been putting off writing to say

33:52No worries.
33:53Late night.
33:54Early start.
33:55My middle one begged to go to before school care,
33:57which either makes her a resilient child
33:59or me a parent she doesn't want to spend time with.
34:03LAUGHTER

36:05cannot handle is you lying to me that will be the end of us mary
36:37oh
36:38Oh, hi.
36:40Sorry, I texted you, but...
36:43Oh, yeah, I think my phone was on silent.
36:45I wasn't sure if you'd checked out or not.
36:48No, no, I was just about to.
36:52Anyway, I came to give you a lift back to your car.
36:56Oh, I...
36:57Brendan and Jet are at home.
37:02Right.
37:04That's so nice, but I can just jump in an Uber.
37:08What is it with you and you, Liz, huh?
37:11It's fine, honestly.
37:12I know, but you already had to pay for the room and I would...
37:15Yeah, but I don't need a lift.
37:16I won't take no for an answer.
37:18Jesus, stop!
37:24Sorry.
37:28But honestly, I'm fine.
37:30You have to know, I never wanted this to happen.
37:33I never wanted to meet you.
37:36I just wanted to see that you were doing OK.
37:38And then you weren't OK, so...
37:41But I am.
37:44I am, really.
37:45I...
37:45I...
37:46And I promise that I will be.
37:48No, Taylor, you don't have to say that.
37:50But I am getting better all the time.
37:54And, um...
37:57The first year is the hardest, apparently.
38:01Fuck.
38:02I'm so sorry.
38:04I'm sorry.
38:05No, no, I'm the one who needs to apologise.
38:08I...
38:09I'm so sorry that I badgered you into writing to me.
38:12That I pressured you into getting better.
38:17Brendan said to me that you...
38:19You wanted to be perfect for me.
38:22You are.
38:25You just are.
38:44At first, I was...
38:46euphoric.
38:48I just...
38:48I couldn't believe that I could breathe.
38:50I have been sucking on oxygen for a year.
38:53Does it happen straight away, or...?
38:55Yeah.
38:57Pretty much.
38:58They take the breathing tube out, and then, boom.
39:01You're on your own.
39:03That must feel...
39:05incredible.
39:08Like, actually...
39:09You just feel like...
39:13Okay.
39:15Anything is possible.
39:18So then when you land back in hospital with an infection...
39:25Yeah, it's bad.
39:27Bad as this motel coffee we're drinking?
39:30Almost, you know.
39:34I don't mean to sound weird again, but...
39:39Do they feel like your lungs?
39:42Physically?
39:43Yeah.
39:48Mentally?
39:50Sometimes that's a bit of a struggle.
39:55Yeah.
39:59No one can really prepare you for...
40:05Knowing that someone died, but you got to live.
40:14But it's a really good motivator.
40:19Even on the tough days, because...
40:21I know that...
40:23That my daughter, that Ash...
40:27That he deserves her.
40:32He would have loved you.
40:33Mm-hmm.
40:36He loved people who didn't let anything stand in their way.
40:40He loved...
40:41Guts.
40:45He'd be very happy about this...
40:47Sitch.
40:48Mm-hmm.
40:51Maybe not so happy with me and the whole hunting you down part.
40:59Maybe he'd think it was romantic.
41:02Okay.
41:03Yeah, that's a good take.
41:05I'm not going to run with that.
41:06I'm not...
41:08Insane.
41:09I'm just...
41:10Romantic.
41:11Yeah.
41:18This looks intense.
41:20Huh?
41:20Always intense when you're exploring new frontiers.
41:23And I do take sugar.
41:25No, that's great.
41:25Thank you, Kelly.
41:26There you go.
41:27Beautiful.
41:27What's the map of?
41:29Victoria.
41:30So exciting.
41:31I was just telling Andrew there are some really formidable soils out that way.
41:35Out what way?
41:36Western District.
41:38Ballarat.
41:38Yeah.
41:39Yeah.
41:40People always think Heathcote, but there are some chromosomes out west that have bang on
41:44for pinots and chardonnay.
41:46Oh, exactly.
41:47I had a tremendous local chardonnay there the other day.
41:50What do you reckon, Kel?
41:51You've always liked your pinot.
41:58Back with another one of those block-rock-ing beats.
42:17Back with another one of those block-rock-ing beats.
42:48Hey, Mish.
42:50How are you?
42:51Hi, Philip.
42:52Your dad gave me your address, but he didn't tell me how quaint this place is.
42:56Well, Bree's up here.
42:58Well, I'm looking for Lillian.
43:00She's not here.
43:01No.
43:02Well, I went to the tourist town.
43:05It's a living museum.
43:08And they hadn't seen her?
43:10Well, she's probably at home.
43:14And where is that?
43:28Look, Hamish, it's not my fault.
43:31I don't know where Lillian lives.
43:32She's done her utmost to exclude us from her life.
43:36I wonder why that is.
43:39I'm not the bad guy.
43:40If Lillian had been more responsible, you know she owes us over $30,000?
43:46Michelle is out of her mind with worries.
43:49Could you stop doing what you're doing?
43:52Please go in the coffee machine.
43:53And talk to me.
43:57Well, no wonder she followed you up here.
43:59You're as childish as she is.
44:01And there it is.
44:02You left all your opportunity, moved to bumfuck nowhere.
44:05I'll pass that feedback on to the local council.
44:08What do you even do for a living?
44:09Really?
44:10You straightened teeth.
44:12Have you seen the car I drive?
44:13Oh, it's very impressive, Uncle Philip.
44:15Oh, you can joke, Hamish, but the truth is you opted out of life when the going got tough.
44:19I never opted out of life.
44:22Just the one you and my dad chose.
44:24And I certainly don't opt out when things get tough.
44:27I'm here in the good and the shit.
44:30And Lillian didn't follow me here.
44:32You drove her here.
44:34You and Michelle nearly broke her trying to bend her to your will.
44:38And when she finally found her way free,
44:40finally got her life together,
44:42she lost Ash.
44:44And where were you?
44:45We were right here.
44:47You don't even know where she lives.
44:49The man she was going to marry died and not once did you come to visit her.
44:54You talk about opting out of life.
44:55What the fuck do you call that?
44:58She's your daughter.
45:00You only want her back now so Michelle can try again
45:03to make her into a mini version of herself.
45:05Jesus Christ.
45:08Leave her alone.
45:11Lillian is a miracle just the way she is.
45:15Ash saw it.
45:16My wife sees it.
45:18I see it.
45:19You, Michelle, and your idiot son are the only ones who don't.
45:50He's gone.
45:55What?
45:57He's gone.
46:00I told him where Lillian lives.
46:02I wasn't sure what else to do.
46:05Hey, Mish.
46:12The way you stood up to him,
46:16defended Lillian and yourself.
46:20That was really brave.
46:26I'm sorry for lying.
46:30There was no car accident.
46:33I didn't want to come home because I didn't want to tell you the truth.
46:40I started having panic attacks a couple of months ago.
46:43Mary, why didn't you tell me?
46:46Because I'm supposed to be the strong one.
46:49I run the fucking ED.
46:51So what?
46:52Now I'm scared to go to work.
46:57I thought the plea change thing would make it better, but...
47:00Mary, what you saw happened to Ash?
47:02No, you see, that's not it.
47:07I keep thinking it could have been me.
47:13You know, he could have killed me.
47:15And I know that's so selfish when we lost Ash to make this about me.
47:22Yes.
47:23Honey, don't you think I think that every day?
47:28What kind of a monster would you be if it didn't affect you,
47:30if it didn't make you terrified?
47:33But I can't control it.
47:37It's like when Lillian started getting better, I started getting worse.
47:42Remind me, when did Lillian start getting better?
47:54She's been mad at me.
47:57Because I said you were weak.
48:01Okay.
48:03But I know I only said that because I was weak.
48:08I just kept feeling the ground slipping from under me.
48:12Like, what if I never saw the kids grow up?
48:15Or I never got old with you.
48:17Baby.
48:18I love you.
48:24I got you.
48:40Mmm.
48:42Whatever's in the oven smells amazing.
48:48Is that a leak?
48:53what's up when were you gonna tell me oh I wanted to surprise you that was
48:58embarrassing Anna knew our plans before I did oh Cal no don't oh tell me I'm not
49:05stupid I'm lost I know why you're doing this wanting to start up over there I
49:14don't know why you're upset we always talked about expanding when the time was
49:18right not in Ballarat so I didn't know it was an option but the wines are
49:22excellent and I've been way too big-headed about our own region to think
49:25about anywhere else oh for Christ's sake boys stay away from the house when are
49:32you going to admit that you would rather spend time with all of them than with us
49:39it's a commercial decision it's not
49:49so
50:15Hey, Rick.
50:17Hey, Lillian. How are you?
50:18I need to give you my notice for the apartment.
50:23I have to move out.
50:26So it's two weeks, yeah?
50:29Sure. Sounds good.
50:32Is that why your dad's here?
50:48What a beautiful spot.
50:54She sent you to get me.
50:57She's worried about you.
50:59And she really wants you to be part of the family.
51:04And the business.
51:13I don't know how to raise $33,000 except to work for you.
51:19So if I set up your new clinic,
51:21I want my pay doubled so that I can pay off my debt sooner.
51:26And I won't live with you.
51:28I'll find a place.
51:32I'll move out of here so that I can afford it.
51:36I thought you were going to tell me to fuck off.
51:44Asha's mum didn't want me to donate his organs.
51:47That's why she...
51:49Why I ended up with the funeral bill.
51:52She was angry that I was his next of kin and...
51:59Anyway, she wants me to pay for what I did.
52:03So I will, because I did the right thing.
52:12I'll drive back first thing in the morning
52:13and I will come back on the weekend and clear up my stuff.
52:20Can I see your place before I go?
52:46Do you want a cup of tea or something?
52:50Sure.
52:53So Ash lived here and you moved in with him?
52:57Yeah.
52:59Must have been small for the two of you.
53:01It was enough.
53:04And it's lovely, Lil.
53:09What's all this?
53:12Oh, that's...
53:13That's Ash's stuff.
53:16And no, it's not some crazy shrine.
53:19It was all downstairs, but Rick needed the space,
53:22so I have to take it to the op shop.
53:26He was a serious cyclist.
53:30Maybe you had more in common than you realised.
53:36Lilian, do you have any idea what this bike is worth?
53:40Well, you'd be lucky to find one of these,
53:42even second-hand, for under $18,000.
53:45$18,000?
53:47Yep.
53:48Are you serious?
53:50How...
53:51He never said...
53:52This is handcrafted cedar.
53:55Beautiful inlay.
53:56Must be worth seven or eight.
53:59Plus your fancy ski boots.
54:01Wait, so...
54:04How could he spend that much?
54:08He clearly had taste.
54:10But all up, if you sold this properly,
54:14you'd be debt-free.
54:33I've learned to hold the line
54:36And to never look away
54:40I've taught myself the lies
54:44That will get me through the day
54:48And nothing ever lasts
54:53But the pain that circulates
54:57Through the chasms of our past
55:01And the breaths we dare to take
55:22Oh, mama, can you see?
55:28I've got a darkness shining through me
55:35I've got a darkness shining through me
