00:01Closer each day
00:04Home in no way
00:11Whoa!
00:12Stay here. We'll sort it out.
00:14What the hell?
00:15Oi!
00:16Wait, guys, they're coming this way. Dude, we gotta go!
00:18We gotta get out of here!
00:19Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:27We warned you to keep your mouth shut.
00:29What happened? Did they hurt you? Are you okay?
00:31Okay, I'll get it checked out later.
00:32Okay, let's get you home.
00:33I'm not going home with you. I need to see Lacey.
00:35After everything that girl has done.
00:36How do you still not get it?
00:37That sinking feeling that you have felt all day about Sunny, I feel bad about you.
00:42Today was intense and scary.
00:45I hear you, but they're gone now and it's safe. I'm safe to be around, I promise.
00:49I can't. I'm sorry.
00:51Cleo, we're family. Even if we're living apart, we should be able to talk to each other.
00:56So I was just wondering if you want to come over and have dinner with me and Justin tonight.
01:01Only if you're willing to invite Lacey to.
01:03Hey.
01:13Hi. Can you help me unpack these?
01:15Listen, about before, I didn't mean to have a go.
01:17Yeah, it's fine. It's okay. Freezer.
01:21You okay?
01:22Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to start cooking.
01:25Theo is coming over for dinner and I'm making his favourite. Freezer.
01:29Uh, well, that's a turnaround. How did that happen?
01:32Well, I thought about what you said and I went over to clear the air.
01:36Please tell me you didn't rock up on his doorstep unannounced.
01:39He lives above the diner. It's not like I went out of my way to harass him.
01:43Anyway, we talked and he agreed to come over.
01:46Well, that's promising.
01:50What?
01:53Lacey's coming too.
01:56Is that a good idea?
01:57Theo insisted.
02:02Oh, you look like you could choose a coffee.
02:04Gee, thanks.
02:06We'll take that as a yes.
02:08Sure.
02:09How'd the job hunt go?
02:10Terrible.
02:11Apparently nobody's interested in hiring someone with gang affiliations.
02:15What? How'd they even know that?
02:17Yeah, he just travels fast, I guess.
02:19But, her job means we both have the night off, so that's a perk.
02:23Actually, Leah has invited us over for dinner.
02:26Us? As in me as well?
02:28Yeah, you know, I thought it was nice of her.
02:30You told her to invite me, didn't you?
02:32Theo, this is a terrible idea. She hates me.
02:36Oh, great. You're both home. Up for a movie?
02:39Sure. There's a quaffire shop, I see.
02:42And you don't have to ask.
02:43This isn't my home.
02:44Yeah, but you can treat her like yours, right?
02:46Right, yep.
02:48In fact, maybe we should talk to Bree about you moving in too.
02:52Thanks, but...
02:54I like my independence.
02:59You're home early.
03:00I thought you were meant to be partying at Remy's.
03:02Uh, no, I wasn't really in the mood.
03:04You still bummed about Dana dumping you?
03:07Nice place, Dana's the last thing on my mind.
03:10This would be a lot easier if Sonny wasn't so gorgeous.
03:13The gorgeous ones are the worst.
03:15Mmm.
03:16Nobody said it was gonna be easy, darling.
03:18We should do on the right thing.
03:19Yes, but I don't know why the right thing feels so wrong.
03:22Give it time.
03:23I'm so sorry that didn't work out, darling.
03:25It's okay.
03:26No, I'm just...
03:27Gotta keep busy.
03:28Even that means being stuck in the house with the baby.
03:31Nothing when he naps.
03:32Aw.
03:33Maybe we should go out for dinner.
03:35Just the two of us.
03:36As sisters and not as mum and aunt.
03:39Would you be happy to babysit?
03:40Like you have to ask, doll.
03:42Oh, I'm not babysitting.
03:43I'll help.
03:44Great, there you go.
03:45It's all sorted.
03:46You can't say no.
03:47I wasn't gonna say no.
03:48I like the idea of a girl's night.
03:49Plus, you know, this time I'm not gonna ditch you for he who shall not be named.
03:53Okay, scrap the movie.
03:55How about we go night clubbing?
03:57Oh, mate.
03:58I am a long way away from tearing up the dance floor.
04:01Plus, I got plans.
04:04And what are these plans?
04:05Can I come?
04:06Leah invited us over for dinner.
04:08Great.
04:09Well, she won't mind me gate crashing.
04:11Sorry, dude.
04:12I got a lot riding on this.
04:14Kinda need it to just be a me and Lacey thing.
04:17Fair enough.
04:19Bring me some leftovers?
04:20Yeah, yeah, I can arrange that.
04:22My man.
04:28You look nice.
04:34So, I know Leah's been a bit full on.
04:36That's one way of putting it.
04:37And I don't know how this is gonna pan out.
04:40But it would mean a lot to me if you came.
04:44Leah doesn't actually want me there.
04:46Well, I'm not asking you to do it for her.
04:49I'm asking you to do it for me.
04:52I hope Archie's being good here.
04:54He can get really fussy at this time of night.
04:55Sorry.
04:56Not meant to be our night.
04:57Tell me to get a life.
04:58No, no, you have a life.
04:59You're just a good mum.
05:00I'm just distracted.
05:01Hey, I get it.
05:02Hey, I get it.
05:03It's hard to let go of what could have been.
05:06But I'm sure there's plenty more sensible, non-criminally associated efficiency.
05:07You love saying that, don't you?
05:08Hmm.
05:09What about a hospital?
05:10Anyone cute there?
05:11At my workplace?
05:12No.
05:13Also, that's where Sunny and I got to know each other.
05:14So if anything, it's just a constant reminder.
05:15I think you're being a bit dramatic.
05:16Maybe I am.
05:17But also, I'm starting to feel like I can't escape him.
05:18Don't turn around.
05:19Why?
05:20I'm sorry.
05:21I'm sorry.
05:22I'm sorry, you've been trying to let go of what could have been.
05:23But I'm sure there's plenty more sensible, non-criminally associated efficiency.
05:26You love saying that, don't you?
05:27Hmm.
05:28What about a hospital?
05:29Anyone cute there?
05:30At my workplace?
05:31No.
05:32Also, that's where Sunny and I got to know each other.
05:35So if anything, it's just a constant reminder.
05:37I think you're being a bit dramatic.
05:38Maybe I am.
05:39But also, I'm starting to feel like I can't escape him.
05:46Don't turn around.
05:47Why?
05:48So check, don't turn around.
05:50Is he coming over?
05:51He's coming over, isn't he?
05:53He's obsessed with me or something.
05:58That's a relief.
06:01So, what about the surf club?
06:03Anyone hot at the surf club?
06:06Dana!
06:07What?
06:09No.
06:10Have you seen our uniforms?
06:13Things must be getting serious between those two if he's bringing Lacey to dinner.
06:17It's okay, I'm not going to bite her head off.
06:20I didn't say you would.
06:21But you were right before.
06:23Theo is an adult making his own decisions, even if they are the wrong ones.
06:29It's time I stopped blaming other people for his choices.
06:33Who knows?
06:34We might end up liking it.
06:35Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
06:37Oh, come on.
06:38If she means this much to Theo, I just need to get on board.
06:43Hey, right on time.
06:47Dinner!
06:49It's almost ready.
06:50Hey, mate.
06:51Hi, Lacey.
06:52Come on in.
06:53Hey.
06:55I'm so glad that you came.
06:57Yeah, me too.
07:02Hello, Lacey.
07:03Hey.
07:04Welcome.
07:06Thanks for inviting us.
07:08We're stoked to be here, right?
07:10The door is always open.
07:11This is your home.
07:12No, it's not.
07:13Well, not right now.
07:14But not at all anymore.
07:15And I've been very clear about that.
07:17If that's what tonight's going to be about...
07:18No, come on.
07:19Theo, for goodness sake, it is just an expression.
07:22I didn't mean anything by it.
07:25Who wants a drink?
07:26Yeah, me, please.
07:27Okay.
07:28Hey.
07:29Hey.
07:30Let me grab you a seat.
07:31No, no, no, no.
07:32I can't.
07:33I was waiting for me.
07:34I just, um...
07:35Earlier today, you said that you wanted to talk.
07:36Yeah, I did.
07:37I, uh...
07:38I, uh...
07:39I, uh...
07:40I was waiting for me.
07:41I just, um...
07:42Earlier today, you said that you wanted to talk.
07:44Yeah, I did.
07:45I, uh...
07:46I, uh...
07:47I, uh...
07:48I just wanted to clear the air between us.
07:50Oh.
07:51It was definitely cleared.
07:52Good.
07:54Cause...
07:55I understand why you broke things off.
07:58And...
07:59I respect it.
08:00How do you do that?
08:02Uh, does that not work?
08:03I know.
08:04Yeah.
08:05OK.
08:06I know.
08:07Let me grab you a seat.
08:08Uh, let me grab you a seat.
08:10No, I can't.
08:14I'm off.
08:15I'm off.
08:16I respect it.
08:17It's cool.
08:19Cool.
08:22Question.
08:23Do you think that it's sort of a shame
08:26that we never got closure?
08:33I do think it's a real shame.
08:41Ah, excuse me.
08:43What are you doing?
08:45Nothing.
08:46We have to go.
08:47Oh, goodbye, sonny.
08:48Bye.
08:49Guess I'll see you around.
08:50See you around.
08:57So how are you settling in at Bree's place?
09:02You mean my new place?
09:05Yeah, it's good.
09:13Where do you live, lady?
09:15Well, at the moment, I'm at Root and Lake's backpackers,
09:18but I can't stay there forever, obviously.
09:21Well, like I said, you can always stay with us.
09:23Are you two thinking about living together?
09:26Not that there's anything wrong with that.
09:27Of course not.
09:29Of course not.
09:29So what do you do for work?
09:33I'm in between jobs at the moment.
09:36She's been looking.
09:38I'm sure a bright girl like you would find something.
09:41Well, it's not sugar-coated.
09:43I'm pretty much broken homeless, so...
09:44Hey, we've all been there.
09:47At least you're safe from the River Boys now.
09:49That's all that matters.
09:53There's plenty more if anyone wants some.
09:56It's okay.
09:57I should go.
09:58What?
09:59No, no, stay.
10:00No, it's okay.
10:00You guys clearly have a lot that you need to work out.
10:03Actually, Lacey, I owe you an apology.
10:06I was wrong to blame you for what happened.
10:10I'm sorry.
10:15Let's just have a nice dinner.
10:20Okay, mister, let's get you home.
10:23I think he's going to sleep well tonight.
10:25We've had lots of fun in the diner, darling.
10:28We've been through this how many times now?
10:30It's not my fault that he showed up.
10:32And it's not your fault that you nearly kissed him either.
10:35Why are you here?
10:36What happened at dinner?
10:37A night.
10:38It was cut short.
10:40Okay, well, I'm about to head home with Archie,
10:43if you'd like a lift.
10:44That's fine.
10:45I'll take him.
10:45I need the walk.
10:46Oh, well, he's been an absolute dream.
10:49I'm happy to babysit at any time.
10:50Oh, thanks, Maz.
10:51I might take you up on that if I ever leave the house again.
10:54Goodbye.
10:54Bye.
10:56Okay, Spill, what happened?
10:59I spoke to Sonny for two seconds,
11:01and then she acted like it was the end of the world.
11:03What?
11:04I mean, Sonny was there with you
11:05and Harper at dinner.
11:06No, no, no.
11:07He just happened to be at Salt,
11:08you know, minding his own business.
11:10So it was the universe bringing you together?
11:12I think what Maz is saying is that it's a small town.
11:15You're likely to bump into each other.
11:17Actually, no, that's not what I meant.
11:19Maz, don't confuse the girl.
11:20She's already made a decision
11:21to give this guy the flick.
11:22Well, I think sometimes you just need to bow out your heart.
11:30I'll see you at home.
11:31Mm-hmm.
11:36All right, I should probably grab the rest of my stuff while I'm here.
11:38Do you want to give me a hand?
11:39No, no, you go.
11:40I'm going to help Leigh with cleaning up.
11:41Thanks.
11:43I'll give you a hand, mate.
11:49Hey, it was cool of you to apologise.
11:53I know that it takes guts to admit when you're wrong.
11:55Well, I think you were pretty cool, too.
11:59Because I showed up for dinner.
12:00Trust me, I almost failed.
12:02No, taking the stand with the Revva boys.
12:05You took a huge risk.
12:07Well, I did it for Theo.
12:11I do have one thing to ask, though.
12:14Okay.
12:15How did you know to leave your phone in the car
12:18so the police could track it?
12:20That was smart.
12:21Yeah, well, my dad's obsessed with crime thrillers, so...
12:25I guess I just did what they do in all of his favourite movies, you know?
12:29Well, you don't have a dad like that, right?
12:33Look, I'm really glad I came.
12:36Me too.
12:39Oh, and Sonny wants leftovers as well.
12:42Of course he does.
12:43I know.
12:43I know.
12:43I know.
13:07Hey.
13:09Hey.
13:11Hey.
13:12It's nice not to have to talk my way around security for a change.
13:16I thought you liked feeling like a groupie.
13:19Not as much as I like privacy.
13:22So to what do I owe the pleasure?
13:26Well, I was thinking that we should really talk about this whole closure thing.
13:34Talk?
13:35Well, here I was thinking that closure had nothing to do with talking.
13:38Well, just shut up.
13:39Yeah, absolutely.
13:41Think about who we are when the lights out.
13:48Hey, she's looking there.
13:49Yeah.
13:50There you go.
14:11Now Sunny can't complain about being left at home.
14:14You do realise that there's enough food in here to feed our army, right?
14:17Between Sunny and Theo, this will last a day.
14:20Pops.
14:20Oh, here they are.
14:23Now the dishes are being done.
14:24Oh, of course.
14:25Are you two joking about it?
14:27Never you mind.
14:28So, have you got everything?
14:30Nice to meet you.
14:30I can always bring the bookcase over in the ute, mate.
14:33Thanks, yeah.
14:33I'll let you know.
14:35Good to go?
14:35Yeah.
14:38Don't be a stranger.
14:40Either of you hop into the diner whenever you want, okay?
14:45All right.
14:45Well, we'll see you later.
14:46Let's see you later.
14:51Bye.
14:57Good night.
14:58Good night.
14:59Good night.
14:59Good night.
15:06How you doing?
15:07He's not coming back, is he?
15:15No.
15:18You thought if he played nice, he might change his mind?
15:22A little bit, yeah.
15:27It's going to be good out of the way.
15:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:31And now we can finally move on.
15:37I should probably go now, right?
15:41I mean, if that's something you want to do.
15:53Well, that went better than expected.
15:55Well, you said it like you were surprised.
15:59So, Theo's out there?
16:02I'm thinking, um, maybe I should wait.
16:05You know, just so it's not awkward.
16:08Yeah, yeah, no, I think, I mean, you could stay the night.
16:12I think there's some more issues we could probably work through.
16:17Yeah.
16:17Yeah, I think there's probably some more issues.
16:20Yeah?
16:20You and Leah look like best friends for a second there.
16:35She's protective of you.
16:37I get it.
16:39I am too.
16:44It meant a lot that you made an effort with her.
16:46My family's important to you, so it is to me, too.
16:51Hey, I don't know anything about your family.
16:54You close?
16:55Uh, no, they're not that interesting.
16:57It's just me, my dad, and my sister.
17:01So, will I get to meet them?
17:03Um, no, we won't be receiving any dinner invitations anytime soon.
17:08But, anyways, it's been such a long day.
17:11I'm going to crash here, though, I think.
17:12Hmm.
17:24Hello.
17:25Hey.
17:26Have you seen Dana this morning?
17:28No, love, and I was up early to open the diner.
17:31Well, if you'd like to come.
17:32There's your answer.
17:33Oh, goodness.
17:36Oh, okay, so.
17:40That's it, then.
17:43Guess I'll see you around.
17:45See you around.
17:45Mm-hmm.
17:46Dana Matheson.
17:48Sonny Baldwin.
17:50Mm, pleasure.
17:51Pleasure.
17:52Great.
17:52Great.
17:52You'll see it.
18:02I thought you could do in one of those.
18:05Hardly slept.
18:10Hi.
18:11I thought you had the morning off.
18:13I'm here to grab the books.
18:14I do want to talk to you about your roster.
18:16Oh, sure.
18:16I'll just take this to the, uh...
18:18Um, actually, let me do that.
18:19Oh, sure.
18:20Thanks.
18:21Thanks.
18:22Here you go.
18:25Thanks.
18:26It's hard for dropping by so soon, but...
18:28You did offer.
18:29Yeah, no, I'm glad that you did.
18:30I was thinking about what you said last night
18:32about looking for work.
18:33Still no luck?
18:34No, not since last night.
18:36Good.
18:36Yeah.
18:37How would you like to work here?
18:40Oh, you don't need to offer me a job out of pity,
18:42but thanks anyways.
18:44No, you'd be helping me out.
18:46But it's up to you, right?
18:47Just think about it.
18:49And if there's anything else that you need,
18:51you'll let me know.
18:52Maybe a job here would be good.
18:58I'm fine.
18:59I know things between you two haven't been easy.
19:02But now we're together, that makes your family,
19:05and Leah will do anything to help you.
19:07Honestly, just try and stop it.
19:08Yeah, I have to go.
19:09Wait.
19:11I left something upstairs.
19:12Hey.
19:22Hope you didn't bring home too much work.
19:25Oh, it's just the accounts.
19:27Won't take long.
19:28Good.
19:29Because I don't know if you've realised,
19:31but today's our first day off together since Theo left.
19:35Don't remind me.
19:37Well, I'm glad I'm making such an impression.
19:40You know what I mean?
19:41I'm just used to the house being so fun and lively.
19:45Can I come in?
20:03You all right?
20:05Yeah, I'm sorry for walking out before.
20:07Well, I'm more worried about what's going on with you.
20:13Do you want to talk about it?
20:15No, it's stupid.
20:17I'm sure it's not.
20:19I guess I just kind of preferred it when Leah hated me.
20:21I think her being kind to me just kind of reminded me of my mum.
20:36Yeah, well, why is that such a bad thing?
20:40My mum died.
20:44Hey.
20:48I'm so sorry.
20:51It was an accident.
20:57I just, I never got to say goodbye to her.
21:09I'm your new sergeant.
21:11My name's David Langham.
21:14Nice of you to join us, senior constable.
21:15You allowed a civilian to assist in a dangerous rescue operation.
21:20Without Tane Parata, lives could have been lost.
21:22That sounds like good luck, not good planning.
21:24Will we rescue the witnesses?
21:26Lacey Miller.
21:28Bring her to the station.
21:31It's so good to see you.
21:33I can't say the same about you.
21:35What's going on?
21:36I can't say the same about you.
21:53I can't say the same about you.
21:55I can't say the same for you.
21:56You're going to see you in the building.
21:58You're not.
21:59Are you fear?
