00:00You're getting out?
00:02I, uh, I don't think I can.
00:04There you go, son.
00:06There you go.
00:07I just want things to go back to how they used to be.
00:11I want to take the day off work, and I want to take care of you.
00:15Remember, I don't want you sacrificing your life for me.
00:17I'm really sorry about you doing good care,
00:19and there's just no other way around that.
00:29You know, we could have brought the wheelchair.
00:32No, no, no. I'm feeling much better today.
00:35Alright, well, I don't want you to push yourself again.
00:37No, I won't.
00:39Okay, I believe you.
00:42But no, I'm only going to work if you promise me
00:46you're going to call me if you need anything.
00:49I will.
00:50I promise.
00:52Ah, there it is. Very serious.
00:55Good. Goodbye. Behave.
00:57Goodbye, I will.
01:00Well, that was a pretty cryptic text last night.
01:03What are these changes you're on about?
01:05Oh, not trouble in paradise, eh?
01:07Nah, no.
01:08But there will be if there's a repeat of what happened yesterday.
01:11What do you mean?
01:12Listen, I don't want to go back to being in that chair
01:14and having to rely on everyone else.
01:17You've had one bad day.
01:18Especially Dana.
01:19I don't want her to have to be looking after me again.
01:21You know, I think you're forgetting what she does for a living.
01:23Yeah, for a living, John.
01:24She gets paid for that.
01:25She shouldn't have to come home and look after her boyfriend as well.
01:28Yeah, but you're not going to be like that forever.
01:29Exactly.
01:30The sooner that I can get back to the way I used to be, the better.
01:33Yeah, well, getting back to the way you used to be is a very noble goal,
01:36but the reality is you can't do that until your body lets you.
01:40Yes, John, I know, which is why my body needs to get its act together
01:43and that is where you come in.
01:49It's been a while since I've seen you out swimming.
01:52Yeah, just trying to get back into it slightly.
01:54Nice one.
01:56Morning.
01:56Morning.
02:00Hey!
02:02Thought you might need this?
02:04Yeah, thanks.
02:06So, FYI, I'm going to be working at the gym today.
02:10I put the sign up earlier.
02:12Well, that might have been JP.
02:14Had a change of heart, did ya?
02:16Something like that.
02:19Hey, Lace.
02:21Thanks for chippin' in.
02:23It means a lot.
02:25It's just what we do around here, right?
02:32Are you sure you're ready for the gym?
02:33Yeah.
02:34If you guys got it open, it would be a shame to waste it.
02:36Oh, absolutely.
02:37It would be much more convenient doing your training here.
02:39Yeah, only this time I'd be doing more than just a few stretches.
02:42Like what?
02:43You know, like weights and stuff.
02:44I need to up my game to build my strength back.
02:47Yeah, you might be jumping in a deep end a bit here, mate.
02:49Have your doctors given you the okay to train?
02:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
02:52I've been doing loads of exercises with my physio.
02:53It's all good.
02:54Hey, stranger.
02:55Hey, tell me about it.
02:57I feel like I'm sitting in ages.
02:57I know, right?
02:58How have you been?
02:59You're looking good on the crutches.
03:01Well, yeah, thanks.
03:01We're having to get rid of these things soon.
03:03Um, John's actually about to sign me up to the gym.
03:05Oh, really?
03:06Well, I actually work there now, so I can sign you up.
03:08At the gym?
03:09Yeah.
03:09What happened to the surf shop?
03:10I'm still working there too.
03:12It's a long story, but I can sign you up and fill you in on everything.
03:15Yeah, great.
03:16Lead the way.
03:16Cool.
03:20Hey, Sonny.
03:23You sure you know what you're doing?
03:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:26Got it under control.
03:27Thanks, John.
03:36There you go.
03:37Thanks, David.
03:38But I'm gonna need more than a cup of tea from you.
03:41Yep.
03:42I get that.
03:45I hope it goes without saying, but I'm not arresting you.
03:49The case isn't closed, because obviously we don't have a resolution yet.
03:54But we're not actively investigating the incident anymore.
03:58Well, why the Flaminel not?
03:59Every lead we've pursued has been a dead end.
04:03So, you're just gonna throw it in the bin?
04:05Meanwhile, my name's Mud.
04:07I'm satisfied you didn't do it.
04:09Oh, that's fantastic.
04:10But the way you and Cash frog-marched me out of the surf club,
04:13it made me look as guilty as sin.
04:14And everybody in the bay's looking at me like I ran over the girl.
04:17I'm sorry.
04:19Give it time.
04:20It'll blow over.
04:21Easy for you to say.
04:24Right now, there's nothing more we can do.
04:27Unless new evidence comes to light, it's over.
04:30Might be over for you.
04:32Alf, it's time to let this go.
04:35Go throw a line in.
04:37Forget it ever happened, alright?
04:42Aww.
04:44This is so sweet.
04:45Yeah, it's from Harper and Tani saying thank you for making Archie's birthday cake.
04:49It's lovely to see Tani there.
04:51You could tell he was really happy to be there.
04:53Well, he deserves it after everything he's been through.
04:56You're talking about me, are you?
04:58Uh, no, we're not.
05:00Chooks have got teeth.
05:02What's happened?
05:03Well, my name's been dragged through the mug and the coppers are refusing to do anything about it.
05:06What are you talking about?
05:08Well, David, he's throwing the case in the too hard basket.
05:10Well, that doesn't sound like him.
05:12He basically told me to get over it and go fishing.
05:19Not sure what you said to Lacey to get her on board at the gym, JP?
05:23But I really appreciate it.
05:24Well, I'm not sure what I said either, but I'm happy to take the credit.
05:27You know, it's really good we've got this place up and running.
05:29Not just for Tani, but for the whole community.
05:32Not to mention the sales at your juice bar.
05:34I've no idea what you're talking about.
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:36Hey, Remy!
05:37How's life?
05:38Yeah, I can't complain.
05:40Hey, I heard that new song you and Eden put up on Lyric Socials.
05:43Do you have socials?
05:44He's got his finger on the pulse here, JP.
05:47He's got his fingers in his ears more than like.
05:49I thought my days of making noise complaints were long gone.
05:51Here we go.
05:53Are you kidding, mate?
05:54No, it's a really good song.
05:55And it's great to see you two back to doing what you love.
05:58Thanks, John.
05:59I appreciate that.
06:00One more thing you might like to know.
06:02So, um, your mates joined the gym.
06:06Justin?
06:07Sonny.
06:09Sorry, did you say Sonny's joined the gym?
06:10I did.
06:12Sonny.
06:12Hmm.
06:12The one on the same.
06:14You might want to keep an eye on me.
06:16Yeah, you bet.
06:16I've got to say this.
06:17Here you go.
06:18All signed up and ready to go.
06:20Thanks, legend.
06:21Yep.
06:22I just need to build my strength back.
06:23Well, you are in the right place then.
06:26I thought I was the one who had a brain tumour.
06:28Ah, here we go.
06:29Seriously, what happened to the guy who thought that exercising was for people who hate life?
06:32Well, I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I'm sort of operating at 50% capacity here.
06:36Yeah, maybe, but compared to where you were, you're doing great.
06:39Yeah, well, I'm over it, you know.
06:40It's time to get my old self back and that means busting my chops a little.
06:44Right, but at a gym?
06:46Well, I'm not exactly going to go running, am I?
06:48Okay, fair enough.
06:49I am 100% behind you.
06:50I appreciate that.
06:51Good.
06:52Well, you can shut up and spot me or get lost.
06:56Let's do this.
07:03Morning.
07:04Morning, David.
07:05I've got a bar to pick with you.
07:07Okay.
07:08What makes you think it's okay to talk to Alf like that?
07:10Like what?
07:11He came to you for help this morning and you told him to get over it.
07:14How do you already know?
07:17Never mind.
07:18Doesn't matter.
07:19It doesn't matter.
07:20Were you just meant to shrug and stay quiet while you treat Alf like a criminal?
07:24I did no such thing.
07:26Then why is he so upset?
07:27That would be a question for Alf, not me.
07:31In the meantime, I'll get my coffee elsewhere.
07:53Tell me you've got the hardware order sorted.
07:55Haven't had time yet, but it's at the top of my to-do list.
07:58Truth.
07:58Alma, you're as useless as a chocolate teapot.
08:01Hey, give me a break, will you?
08:02I'm run off my feet here.
08:04And you only asked me to do it last night.
08:06That's right.
08:07And the last time I looked, I'm the club president.
08:09Which means when I say jump, you say how high.
08:12Got it?
08:12I don't know what's gotten into you, mate.
08:13Go the other way.
08:14Mr. Stewart is not having a good day.
08:17Oh, thanks for that, Alf.
08:18What the flame in hell are you two looking at?
08:19Just get on with it, eh?
08:21It's a good thing we haven't got an HR department here, Alf,
08:24because you just can't talk to people like that anymore.
08:26If we had an HR department here, Palmer,
08:28you would have lost your job a decade ago.
08:37What?
08:43Don't you think you're a little bit unfair to David?
08:46No.
08:46I was standing up for Alf and he just walked away.
08:49It was really rude.
08:50Well, I can understand his reaction.
08:52Whose side are you on?
08:53I don't take his sides.
08:55I'm very aware of how sensitive Mrs. Stewart is about this.
08:57Which is why David had to set the record straight
09:00instead of walking off in a huff.
09:01Can you imagine what it would be like
09:02being a police sergeant in a town like this?
09:05It would be a tough gig, I know.
09:07Everyone would have an opinion
09:08about how you did your job every day.
09:11And wouldn't think twice about letting you know.
09:13I think if I had David's job,
09:15I wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning.
09:21Come on, push.
09:22You've got this.
09:26All right, you nailed it.
09:28Well done.
09:30Let's have this one, mate.
09:34Oh, yeah.
09:36Wow.
09:38Impressive.
09:39I think.
09:40I mean, I'm not an expert, but...
09:41You're not joining us then?
09:43Nah.
09:44I don't want to show you boys up.
09:46All right, mate.
09:47You've been going for over an hour.
09:48That's cool.
09:48No, no, no.
09:49I'm good to keep going.
09:49Any muscles need time to recover.
09:51Yeah, my muscles are fine.
09:52Yeah, but you won't have the energy.
09:53Mate, I'm good.
09:54For now.
09:55Come on.
09:55Let me shave a feed upstairs.
09:58Mate, you go for your life,
09:58but I'm going to stay here.
09:59Since when do you turn down a free food?
10:01Look, buddy.
10:01If you want to stay, stay.
10:02If you want to go, just leave me out of it, alright?
10:09I don't know why.
10:10I guess I'll go eat by myself then.
10:12Great, you do that.
10:29Peace offering.
10:31I appreciate that.
10:33I'd given up on trying to finish the cup of petrol I made myself earlier.
10:38I'm really sorry about how I spoke to you.
10:40It was unfair.
10:42You were just defending your friend.
10:44Still, your job is hard enough without me throwing my two cents in.
10:48Thank you for saying that.
10:50And listen, I don't want to go head to head with Alfred.
10:53There's just nothing more I can do.
10:55You've really come to a dead end in this case?
10:57Unfortunately, yes.
10:59I've had to put the investigation on ice.
11:01David.
11:02Look, I'd love to solve every crime that comes across my desk,
11:05but in this instance we've exhausted all investigative avenues.
11:10Unless we get some new evidence, dashcam footage, a witness,
11:14something to give us a fresh lead, we've got nothing to go on.
11:18I just worry that Alf won't rest until you find who hit Abigail.
11:25Look, I'm happy to take you through it all,
11:27but I think you'll agree we've done all we can.
11:30I'd really appreciate that.
11:39Hey, you've been on that thing for a while now.
11:41So?
11:43So maybe you want to take a break?
11:45Oh, are you a trainer now?
11:47No.
11:48Well, then maybe you should keep your advice to yourself.
11:50OK.
11:51I was just trying to be helpful.
11:55Are you still here?
11:56Yeah, he hasn't stopped.
11:58Oh, could you both just chill, all right?
12:00If I wanted your opinion, I'll ask for it.
12:01OK.
12:02Message received.
12:03Mate, I think it's time you give it a rest.
12:05Yeah, so you keep staying.
12:06Son, I'm staying.
12:07End of story.
12:08See what's happening here, mate.
12:09You think the more you push yourself, the stronger you get,
12:11but it doesn't work that way.
12:12Yeah, well, I'll see.
12:13No, you need to give your body a rest or you're going to hurt yourself.
12:15Mate, will you just shut up and get off my case?
12:17Just stop.
12:18Just back off!
12:28So we did a search on everyone in the area who owns a red ute, red van.
12:33No luck?
12:33No.
12:34It's a pretty isolated stretch of road, so unfortunately there's no traffic cameras or anything for us to check.
12:42Now, we spoke to a few people that live near where the accident happened.
12:45None of them saw or heard anything.
12:48And none of them have their own front door cameras.
12:51Now, like I said, the case remains open.
12:55And if new evidence comes to light, we'll look into it.
12:57But you're not actually going to go out of your way to find anything.
13:01Leah, I've just taken you through it all.
13:04Okay?
13:04There's nothing for us to follow up on.
13:06So someone out there was just going to get away with this?
13:09Probably, yes.
13:11Probably, yes.
13:11But this is a small police station.
13:13And I can't justify pouring any more of my limited resources into this.
13:17Especially when the accident had minimal impact on the community.
13:20Not for Alf.
13:22He needs some peace.
13:24And now he thinks you're not taking his point of view seriously.
13:27Look, I haven't made this decision lightly.
13:31Now, I understand Alf's frustrated, but I'm frustrated too.
13:35And I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to give him the resolution he needs.
13:40I hear what you're saying.
13:42But Alf's just really upset about how all this has ended up.
13:46He's a proud man, but his self-confidence has really been rocked by this.
13:50He feels powerless and you need to understand how scary that is for him.
13:57Yeah.
14:02Hi.
14:03I got you some lunch.
14:05Are you hungry?
14:07Thanks.
14:07Maybe later.
14:08Oh, okay.
14:10Is Ru here?
14:11How would I know?
14:13Oh.
14:16I was sort of hoping that you'd feel a bit better.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Yeah, well, it's not easy when everybody you know is talking about you behind your back.
14:24Who?
14:25Well, you and Ru, for starters.
14:27Oh.
14:28Yeah, I heard you gossiping away about me last night.
14:31You heard that?
14:32Yeah, I did.
14:33I'm so sorry.
14:35Are you?
14:37We're just worried about you. Ru is really worried.
14:39What a load of cods, Willop.
14:42She thinks I'm a silly old goat who shouldn't be behind the wheel.
14:47I didn't hear you arguing either.
14:51I mean, to be yelled at like that in public?
14:54That's beyond the pale.
14:56He was a bit out of line.
14:57A bit?
14:58He was so far over the line he needed his passport.
15:01What?
15:03You did kind of poke the bear yesterday.
15:05Well, that doesn't justify it.
15:06After everything I've done for this club.
15:08Fellas!
15:10You got a sec? It's about the gym.
15:12Is there a problem?
15:13It's sunny.
15:14He's been in there hours and I think he's past his limit.
15:17Well, here's an idea.
15:18Tell him to stop.
15:19He did that, he lost it.
15:21There's something in the water today.
15:22Sure is.
15:23I don't know what's got into him, but you guys are in charge of the gym.
15:26Might want to tell him to tap the brakes before he hurts himself.
15:30Yeah, I'll go clip his wings.
15:31Thanks.
15:34You really worried about him?
15:36Yeah, I am.
15:46Okay, seriously, you've been on that for a really long time.
15:49You sure you're okay?
15:51Yeah.
15:54Are you sure?
15:54Because I was pretty full on with Remy before.
15:58Sonny, I've never heard you speak to him like that.
16:00In fact, I've never heard you speak to anyone like that.
16:03Listen, he just...
16:04He always thinks I'm just there to hang about with him, alright?
16:07It just gets annoying.
16:09Sounds like he just cares about you.
16:11No.
16:12He just misses having to hang her on.
16:17If you say so.
16:20Righto, mate, that's it, you're done.
16:23Let me guess, Remy.
16:24Have a look at yourself.
16:25I know why you're doing this, but you're going to collapse if you keep this up.
16:30I'm fine.
16:31You're not.
16:31You've got to talk to your physio before you start this sort of stuff.
16:34Oh, please, John.
16:35Look, I've had so much therapy in the last few weeks and practically a physio myself.
16:38Sonny.
16:38Oh, look, I'm fine.
16:39Mate, no, you're not fine.
16:40You're going to do yourself an injury.
16:42I won't.
16:42Now, stop!
16:44That's enough, okay?
16:45You've got to go.
16:48You can't just kick me out.
16:50I can, actually.
16:50Now get out of here, okay?
16:52You're done.
17:12Is there anything I can get you?
17:14No, I'm going to throw a line in.
17:15Right, I'm sorry about fucking behind your back, Mr. Stewart.
17:19Don't worry about it, Marilyn.
17:21No, I feel terrible.
17:22I'm trying to forget it.
17:25Hey.
17:26Have you got a minute?
17:28I'll leave you to it.
17:31Is this official?
17:33In a way.
17:36I've been thinking about what you said at the station.
17:39Oh, yeah?
17:40I just want you to know that I do take this seriously,
17:43and I'm not dismissing your concerns at all.
17:46Okay?
17:47If you're genuinely concerned about how I've handled this investigation,
17:51you do have recourse here.
17:53What are you talking about?
17:54You can submit a formal complaint to the Conduct Commission.
17:57All the information you need to do that is in this envelope.
18:01What are you playing at?
18:02I'm not playing at anything.
18:03This is how it works.
18:05It's your right, it's everyone's right,
18:08to make a complaint.
18:09If you think I've dropped the ball on this,
18:12this is how you have it investigated.
18:15You're kidding, aren't you?
18:16No, I'm not.
18:18Just so we're clear,
18:20if you choose to go this way,
18:22there'll be no hard feelings.
18:24You have my word.

18:51Oh, come on, don't be like that.
18:52It's for your own good.
18:54How would you know what is for my own good?
18:56Okay, I'm sorry.

19:50You're my world.
19:51And nothing will ever change that.
