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.
04:14Mary, 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 the leaked
04:55video.
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.
05:10You know which bit I love, Harry calls it a coward punch.
05:13It's so much better than king hit, you know, more emotion.
05:17We need to send a message to young men, this is cowardly, sickening, and you'll not get away
05:22with it.
05:23I'm on a media blackout.
05:25Oh, that's right.
05:27Sorry.
05:30You can imagine the kind of influence this has in the community.
05:33I mean, the judge making the decision could have been there.
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, sorry.
06:16I have stuff to do.
06:39Hey.
06:41Hello.
06:43Did Fiona call you?
06:49We coming in?
06:51I just need to speak to her 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.
07:29You 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,
07:45but I knew that Hamish couldn't be there for me in the way that I needed.
07:49He couldn't handle it.
07:51I'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,
08:00I managed to somehow completely obliterate myself again.
08:05And 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,
08:45I am driving to Melbourne to meet Taylor Parkinson,
08:48the recipient of Asha's lungs.
08:51I'm just 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.
09:21Wait, so 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.
10:03Okay, just hang on there, buddy.
10:05No, no, no, no!
10:06Don't get me!
10:07Don't get me!
10:10Help!
10:36I just saw Jeff Barry,
10:38Bankrupted lawyer down at the courthouse.
10:40Very pissed off.
10:41So I called my friend Sally.
10:42Do you remember Sally?
10:44You met her at the trivia night.
10:45She works for the...
10:46That doesn't matter.
10:47That doesn't matter.
10:48The plea change has been denied.
10:50Okay?
10:51He's going to jail.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:59It's okay.
11:01It's okay.
11:01We're okay.
11:03We're okay.
11:17We're okay.
11:18And this 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.
11:32Did you leak that footage?
11:33Of you punching a doctor who wasn't even looking at you?
11:37No.
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.
11:54Jordan, you aren't going to do anything.
11:57Except get very good at washing dishes.
12:02Everything right here?
12:04All good.
12:06We're done.
12:16Have you heard?
12:17I 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 all go out for dinner.
12:30Mush out.
12:30Oh, that sounds so good.
12:32But 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.
12:44Makes 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.
13:19Hello?
13:25Amish?
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.
13:47Yeah, she was.
13:50Sorry, just let me.
13:52Yeah, yeah.
13:53Alright.
13:57Ah, love this by the way.
14:00Oh, thanks.
14:02Did you do it?
14:03Wow.
14:05Did you do commissions?
14:07Ah, I don't get to flex the painting muscle too much these days.
14:11Alright.
14:12I suppose all your creative juices go into the graphic design.
14:14Yeah.
14:16Yeah.
14:17Oh.
14:18Yeah.
14:22Hey, Andrew, I just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts.
14:31For everything you've done.
14:35Yeah.
14:39Anyway, listen.
14:40I 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.
14:50Yep.
14:50No worries.
14:51It's a very short notice.
14:53So.
14:55Alright.
14:56I'll, um, I'll leave you to it.
14:59And, ah, 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?
15:33Very nice.
15:34Really?
15:34Hmm.
15:35Oh.
15:36That'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.
15:48Call him later.
15:49You're in the middle of something.
15:51Oh.
15:51Bloody important.
15:52The children have been home from childcare.
15:54They've had those nasty colds.
15:56Oh.
15:57Hello, darling.
15:59Sorry I missed you.
16:00I'm shopping with Janet.
16:03Oh, wait.
16:04Wait.
16:05She'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.
16:30Well, 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?
16:50Is it a yes to the dress?
16:53I don't think you should buy it.
16:56You said it was nice.
16:57It is.
16:58But it really does show how heavy you are.
17:00It is now.
17:02Let's go.
17:33Nice.
17:34Nice.
17:35All right.
17:35Just like we showed you, all right?
17:37Both hands.
17:37Eyes.
17:39Nice.
17:40Nice.
17:41Good work.
17:42Good job.
17:43Look at that.
17:44You're getting really good at this.
17:47Yep.
17:49Hey, babe.
17:50I think that's her.
18:04Lillian?
18:06Hi.
18:07Good to see you again.
18:13Um, you found us.
18:16Sorry, this is my husband, Brendan.
18:19And, uh, that little guy is our son, Jet.
18:26Uh, this is a, it's a nice park.
18:30Yeah, yeah.
18:31I hope it wasn't too far for you to come.
18:33You're in Ballarat, right?
18:35Yeah.
18:35Did you come up the, um...
18:37Oh, God, but where do we go when we visit Helen?
18:40Uh, Brendan's auntie lives in Meredith, so...
18:42Oh, yeah.
18:43Yeah, on the Midland Highway.
18:44Yeah, yeah.
18:44Oh, that's a pretty drive.
18:46No, um, I just suck it straight up the western.
18:50It's boring, but quick.
18:58Um, we were just making up our old spritzes.
19:02Do you like those?
19:05Love them.
19:17Oh, God, you're not allergic to egg, are you?
19:20And you do eat meat.
19:22I, I ate everything.
19:24Oh, thanks.
19:27Sorry, I didn't bring anything.
19:28Oh, no, no, don't be silly.
19:30It's my pleasure.
19:32Hey, matey.
19:33Not too far.
19:39Oh, do you want another one?
19:42Yeah, I might.
19:44Actually, that was very refreshing.
19:45Yeah, I'll get it.
19:46Oh, do you want one?
19:47Oh, no, I'm still going.
19:48Brendan, you right for a drink?
19:50Yeah.
19:54So, um, how is the recovery going since the other day, I mean?
20:01Good.
20:02Yeah, fantastic.
20:03Really good, really good.
20:04I, uh, pretty, well, came good the next day in hospital, didn't I?
20:09Well, not sure it was the next day.
20:11Well, it was as soon as they started pumping the antibiotics in.
20:14And that's the great thing about, uh, an infection.
20:18It's, it's not that the lungs aren't working.
20:20It's, it's, it's a bacterial thing, you know, that they're, it can be fixed.
20:26Still, you have to be careful not to overdo it.
20:29Okay, no, no.
20:33Well, in fairness to Brendan, when I saw you, you didn't look too great.
20:41Hey, Jack.
20:43That's too far, buddy.
20:45Come back.
20:49Little monkey.
20:51I can't believe he's going to be at school next year.
20:54But it's actually perfect timing because I'm going to go back to work full time.
21:00Well, maybe.
21:02Oh, definitely.
21:04Well, you might just enjoy being a stay-at-home mum for a while.
21:07And you might enjoy being a stay-at-home dad.
21:10I'm not the one likely to have to go to hospital.
21:20How far away are the sausages?
21:22A couple of minutes.
21:31Mmm.
21:33Oh, yummy.
21:39Oh, I love Brie.
21:40Strength and good for cheese haven't been out there yet.
21:43What are you celebrating?
21:44Sam, do we need to have a talk about boundaries?
21:46For a start, you shouldn't be reading my messages.
21:48And you shouldn't be standing so close that you can read my messages.
21:52You should be over the other side of the ward doing some fucking work.
21:56Sorry.
21:57That's okay.
21:59Sorry for swearing.
22:00Just mind your own business.
22:05I'm so glad I got these on sale.
22:07Goose Down's usually so expensive.
22:10It's what I call a productive shopping day.
22:12We got everything we came for.
22:15What?
22:17I wanted to buy that dress.
22:18What dress?
22:21Well, you should have bought it.
22:23Oh, were you joking?
22:24You're talking.
22:24I looked heavy in it.
22:25You were so rude.
22:26You embarrassed me.
22:27Well, you were rude to me.
22:29How?
22:30Telling me to put Ashley's death behind me.
22:32I didn't say that at all.
22:34You did.
22:35I said it was good we could put the court case behind us.
22:40For heaven's sake, Janet.
22:42You must be pleased about that.
22:45What difference does it make though, really?
22:48Well, it helps you move on, surely?
22:51Don't say that.
22:53What a stupid, stupid thing to say.
22:56Why should I?
22:57What if I don't want to?
22:59Why does everyone keep telling me I've got to move on?
23:02Will you please open the door?
23:26I know you're upset.
23:28I know how hard everything is, but you can't treat me like that.
23:35You don't talk about Ashley ever.
23:39Except to get angry.
23:42I'm worried about you.
24:02What a grudging word.
24:03Grematorium rang me.
24:05To say I should pick up his ashes.
24:10But, I thought Lillian took them.
24:13Half.
24:14She gave me half.

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
32:06thank you she wanted to be like 100% full health and then you saw her at rock bottom you
32:13rode in the
32:13ambulance with her while she was unconscious she was devastated when she found out
32:17she knew you'd be disappointed and it's obvious that you are no that's not true which frankly is
32:24fucked up she has CF and had a double lung transplant and look at her she's got more guts than
32:30anyone I
32:30know she had the guts to meet you even though she knew that'd be shitty that determination
32:38that's why you couldn't have given those lungs to a better person and I'm eternally grateful
32:46but I never want to see you again

33:03okay
33:05okay
33:06okay
33:22okay
33:23okay
33:23okay
33:42Excuse me.
33:43Sorry.
33:46Oh, hi.
33:48Hey, Sam.
33:50Sorry, bagging out.
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.
34:10How are you?
34:11Anyway, God, sorry, I shouldn't be yawning in front of you
34:13after the night you've had.
34:16A car accident?
34:18Oh, I wasn't on last night.
34:20Really? I thought Mary said that you were there.
34:23She said it was really full on, so the whole team was there.
34:26No, I was on call, but I didn't get a...
34:29Oh, shit, I didn't miss a call, did I?
34:31Sometimes my voicemail doesn't alert me and...
34:59Where were you last night?
35:01What are you doing here?
35:02What are you doing here?
35:04I feel like the coffee and toast is a clue.
35:08There was no car accident last night.
35:10I just ran into Sam.
35:14Sam didn't...
35:15He wasn't even on the...
35:16You literally told me that you had all hands on deck.
35:21So where the fuck were you?
35:23I was here.
35:31Where's Andrew?
35:34What?
35:41I don't know where Andrew is.
35:43How could you think there's anything going on?
35:44Gee, I don't know, Mary.
35:45Could it be that you confide in him,
35:47that you trust him more than me?
35:48I don't.
35:49Bullshit.
35:50I promise you.
35:50Like, your promise means anything to me.
35:55When was the last time you told me the truth?
35:58Actually.
35:59I can handle you being depressed, not talking to me.
36:01I can even handle you forming a posse with the right-wing media.
36:04But what I cannot handle is you lying to me.
36:09That will be the fucking end of us, Mary.
36:38Oh, hi.
36:40Sorry.
36:41I, um, 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.
36:55Oh!
36:56I...
36:56I...
36:57Brendan and Jet are at home.
37:02Right.
37:03That...
37:04That's so nice, but I can just jump in an Uber.
37:08What is it with you and Uber is, huh?
37:10It'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!
37:23S-sorry.
37:27But 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 okay and then you weren't okay, so...
37:41But I am.
37:44I am, really.
37:45I...
37:45I...
37:46I...
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.
37:55And, um...
37:57The first year is...
37:58Is the hardest, apparently.
38:01Oh, fuck.
38:02I'm so sorry.
38:04I'm sorry.
38:05No, no.
38:06I am the one who needs to apologise.
38:08I...
38:09I am 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.
38:26I know.
38:44At first, I was...
38:46Euphoric.
38:47Yeah, I 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...
39:00Boom.
39:01You're on your own.
39:04That must feel...
39:05Incredible.
39:08Like, actually.
39:10You just feel like...
39:13Okay.
39:15Anything is possible.
39:19So then when you land back in hospital with an infection...
39:25Yeah, that's bad.
39:27Bad as this motel coffee we're drinking?
39:30Almost.
39:31I 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...
40:21Even on the tough days, because...
40:22I know that...
40:23That my daughter, that Ash...
40:27That he deserves her.
40:32He would have loved you.
40:33Mm-hmm.
40:35He loved people who didn't let anything stand in their way.
40:40He loved...
40:41Guns.
40:45He'd be very happy about this...
40:48Sitch.
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.
41:04Yeah, 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.
41:18I'm so sorry.
41:19This 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.
41:39Yeah.
41:39Yeah.
41:40People always think Heathcote, but there are some chromosomes out west that have bang on for
41:45pinnots 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 rocking beats.
42:17Back with another one of those block rocking beats.
42:47AMISH
42:48Hamish, how are you?
42:51Hi Philip.
42:52Your dad gave me your address, but he didn't tell me how quaint this place is.
42:56What brings you up here?
42:58Well, I'm looking for Lillian.
43:00She's not here.
43:01No, well, 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 I don't know where Lillian lives.
43:33She's done her utmost to exclude us from her life.
43:36Wonder 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?
43:52Peace go in the coffee machine.
43:54And talk to me?
43:57Well, no wonder she followed you up here. You'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? You straightened teeth.
44:11Have you seen the car I drive?
44:13Oh, it's very impressive, Uncle Phillip.
44:15Oh, you can joke, Hamish.
44:16But 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.
44:33Oh.
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.
44:48The man she was going to marry died
44:51and 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.
45:06Jesus 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.
45:49He's gone.
45:55What?
45:57He's gone.
46:00I told him where Lillian lives.
46:02I wasn't sure what else to do.
46:05Hamish.
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.
46:45Why didn't you tell me?
46:46Because I'm supposed to be the strong one.
46:49I've 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...
47:00Baby, 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.
47:22Oh, yes.
47:23Honey.
47:25Don't you think I think that every day?
47:28What kind of a monster would you be if it didn't affect you, if 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.
48:19I 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?
48:53When were you going to tell me?
48:55I wanted to surprise you.
48:58That was embarrassing.
48:59Anna knew our plans before I did.
49:01Oh, Kel.
49:02No, don't, oh, Kel me.
49:04I'm not stupid.
49:09I'm lost.
49:11I know why you're doing this.
49:12Wanting to start up over there.
49:14I don't know why you're upset.
49:16We always talked about expanding when the time was right.
49:18Not in Ballarat.
49:20Well, I didn't know it was an option.
49:21But the wines are excellent.
49:22And I've been way too pig-headed about our own region to think about anywhere else.
49:26Oh, for Christ's sake, boys.
49:28Stay away from the house.
49:31When are you going to admit that you would rather spend time with all of them than with us?
49:38It's a commercial decision.
49:41It's not.
49:42What?
49:43What?
49:44What?
49:55What?
50:15Hey, Rick.
50:16Hey, Lillian.
50:18How are you?
50:19I 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.
50:55She 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.
51:17So, if I set up your new clinic, I want my pay doubled so that I can pay off my
51:25debt 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 I ended up with the funeral bill.
51:52She was angry that I was his next of kin.
51:56And...
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, and I will come back on the weekend and clear up my
52:16stuff.
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.
53:10What's all this?
53:11Oh, that's...
53:13That's Ash's stuff.
53:16And no, it's not some crazy shrine.
53:18It was all downstairs, but Rick needed the space, so...
53:23I 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, even second hand for under 18k.
53:45$18,000.
53:47Yep.
53:48Are you serious?
53:50How... he never said...
53:52And this is handcrafted cedar.
53:55Beautiful inlay.
53:56Must be worth seven or eight.
53:59Plus your fancy ski boots.
54:01Wait, is it...
54:04How could he spend that much?
54:08We clearly had taste.
54:10But...
54:11All up, if you sold this promptly...
54:14You'd be debt free.
54:33I've learned to hold the line, and to never look away.
54:40I've taught myself the lines, that will get me through the day.
54:50And nothing ever lasts, but the pain that circulates.
54:58Through the chasms of our past, and the breaths we dare to take.
55:12Mmm...
55:16Mmm...
55:17Mmm...
55:18Mmm...
55:19Mmm...
55:20Mmm...
55:22Mmm...
55:22Oh, Mama, can you see?
55:28I've got a darkness shining through me.
55:35How I've got a darkness shining through me.
55:43La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
