00:00I'm your new sergeant, my name's David Langham, I'm happy to be here, nice of you to join us
00:15and your constable. I'm actually not late, my shift starts in 20 minutes. Go wait for
00:19me in the interview room. You allowed a civilian to assist in a dangerous rescue operation.
00:24Without Tane Parata, lives could have been lost. That sounds like good luck, not good
00:29planning, but we rescued the witnesses. Lacey Miller, bring her to the station.
00:38It's so good to see you. I can't say the same about you. What's going on? This is my daughter,
00:44that's how you took your mum's maiden name. Well someone had to keep her memory alive.
00:49Is Dad's transfer to Yabba Creek Station permanent? As far as I know, yeah, it turns out we're not each
00:54other's biggest fans. How come? He was not impressed that I involved a civilian in a high-risk
00:59police operation. You don't understand, Cash is a mate. So he couldn't stop his mate from getting
01:04caught up in the middle of a police operation? It wasn't like that. Why don't you come through and take a seat?
01:10So I was being nice to him. And then he shuts me down. So what do I do? I lecture him.
01:24Sounds like you had every right to. I don't know. Calling the boss a hypocrite on the first date
01:29does seem like a poor choice at home. Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting way to resign.
01:34Oh, ha ha ha ha ha. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You're a great cop. The new side will see that.
01:41Look how good you've been with Lacey. Oh, and there's a whole other awkward
01:43situation that he's going to put me in. Yeah. I cannot believe that he is her dad.
01:48It's so rich. It's so low, right? Yeah. So what are you going to do?
01:52Nothing. Nothing. Oh, can you make a complaint? You know, unfair treatment or something?
01:57Yeah, except most of what he's pulling me up on is true. It's going to sit right there in my pile.
02:03Cash Newman speaking. Yes, Sarge.
02:09I'm on the way. You gotta go. I've been summoned. Yeah. Okay.
02:14Bye. Good luck. Yep.
02:21I have everything I need. Thank you for your time.
02:25Look, you still don't understand. Like I said, cash needed backup. Bottom line,
02:29you shouldn't have been there. Your safety was compromised. Okay. Okay, looking back,
02:33it was a risk. We're not in the business of taking our mates to police rescues. Newman, in here.
02:44Okay. Your mate was explaining those extenuating circumstances you were talking about earlier.
02:53Okay. So he got into the patrol car and you didn't stop him. End of story.
02:59It was a bit more complicated than that, was it? Tell me. What exactly is your definition of
03:06extenuating circumstances? Would you call, would you call this love? I can't call it, yeah. But I need you
03:20to know if you fall, I'll meet you there. And I can tell you everything that's on my mind. Honey, I,
03:28I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. What happened? Where'd you start? Yeah, I've got the same question.
03:46That sounded amazing. Um, hi. Can I help you? I'm sorry. I, uh, I didn't mean to interrupt. Avalon.
03:54Oh. Avalon Bracken. Yep, I know. My ex-manager made me listen to your album like 50 times when it
04:02first came out. What's going on here? Avalon was the big thing when I was working with Forrest.
04:07Oh, you're making me sound like I'm 100 years old. Self-funded first album and recording the second
04:13one next door. Nice to meet you. I'm Remy. This is Kirby. Look, that really did sound amazing. Maybe
04:20think about some backing vocals and really give it more depth.
04:27We'd better get back to it. Yeah, of course. I, uh, guess I'll see you around. Yeah, catch her.
04:38Where'd the attitude come from? Who walks into someone else's recording
04:41session and starts giving advice? She's just being friendly. Why is she getting under your skin?
04:45Because Forrest told me over and over and over again that she's my competition. And she is.
04:51She's really good. Okay, why don't we call today? Yeah, it's a good idea. I'm wrecked.
04:58I'm gonna stay here a bit longer. Why don't you get a jump on tomorrow? Maybe do some work on some
05:02of the tracks we put down? Are you sure? I feel bad for leaving you here to work.
05:06It's cool. But, uh, maybe do me a favour. Maybe think about those backing vocals. I mean, Avalon had
05:15a good point. I guess I know she did. That's a problem. Why don't we ask Aidan? Okay, no one's
05:22voice compliments yours like hers. And it'd be great having her in here, you know? A bit of magic.
05:26Mm-hmm. That's true. Yeah? All right, we'll get some rest. Thank you. See ya.
05:38Cash, I'm really sorry. I was trying to help. I'll see you at home. Yeah.
05:45Hey, it's a letter from the doctor. It's all the details on the physio I was doing while I was in
05:51hospital. Great. So can we start now? Okay. Settle down, mate. Remember what we talked about.
05:57I get there's still a lot of restrictions, but it's more reason to get stuck in. How'd you go with
06:01the plan you were talking about? Oh, I didn't get around to it. Something else came up. But how
06:06about we go over those restrictions and make a start on it now? Great.
06:08Going somewhere? Uh, yeah. I can give you a lift if you're lying. I'm fine. Thanks.
06:23I don't mind, really. I'm getting together. No, I said I'm fine. Can you just go?
06:38I see. What's happening? Where are you going? I don't know. I just need to get out of here. Why?
06:49This town is just really small. How about I just sit and wait with you until the bus comes?
06:57It's up to you. As soon as that bus comes, I'm out of here.
07:00What is it, Newman? I was wondering if you need anything before I go. No.
07:11For what it's worth, your daughter was an asset to our investigation. See you tomorrow.
07:30Have you got family somewhere? Is that where you're going? Why do you even care?
07:39I thought you'd be happy to see me go. Look, in the beginning, I wasn't your biggest fan.
07:43Are you worried about Theo? Because he was willing to throw everything away to be with you.
07:51He still is. I can't be here anymore. This isn't the right place for me. I thought it was.
07:55It's not. Whatever is going on, you can sort it out. Theo cares about you. Do you two have a fine?
08:06This isn't about Theo. This is about my dad. He's decided to move here. If he's here, it can't be.
08:25Well, you weren't joking when you said your new sergeant was pretty tough. It's like talking to a brick wall.
08:30Sounds like he's got it in for the both of you. He's impossible. I thought he was going to arrest me.
08:34No, don't worry. If he's going to arrest someone, it's going to be me.
08:36Well, you did say that he had some personal stuff going on, so.
08:39So he is human. I wouldn't go that far. Speak of the devil.
08:44Is that him? Yep.
08:49Hi. Hey. How can I help?
08:51What's good here? Ah, the pizza's pretty popular.
08:54Great. And the beer. Thanks.
09:02I feel like I'm ten years old getting in trouble for the teacher again.
09:04As if you ever got in trouble. You want me to speed these me up?
09:08That's illegal. I can do it. No. No.
09:20You sure I can't get you something to eat?
09:22I'm okay. Thank you.
09:28Whatever is going on with you, Dad, are you sure that it can't be fixed?
09:33No, we can't be around each other.
09:35Why not?
09:36Because we'll never see eye to eye.
09:39But he's your dad. I'm sure he still loves you.
09:43That's why I left.
09:44His love doesn't mean anything. You proved that when Mum died.
09:51Lacey, I'm so sorry.
09:52You seem to care more about that than he does.
09:55Oh, I'm sure that's not true.
09:57No, it is.
09:58He was more interested in forgiving the driver than he was mourning the loss of his own wife.
10:04The driver that was responsible for your mother's death.
10:07How long has it been since you left home?
10:15About six months.
10:17I, uh, changed my name.
10:20Never looked back and then he shows up.
10:23He's the new police sergeant at Yavvy Creek.
10:25Your dad's a cop?
10:28Does Theo know any of this?
10:30Well, he knows Mum died, but that's all.
10:32Lacey, I can't even pretend to understand what you're going through.
10:38But do you think it's right that you keep running?
10:43Whatever you decide to do, it's entirely your call.
10:48But you need to be upfront with Theo.
10:59Now, let's go.
11:00Let's go.
11:01Now, let's go.
11:02Now, let's go.
11:02Now, let's go.
11:05guitar solo
11:35That is not how producers play guitar.
11:53Yeah, it's how this one does after hours.
11:58Where's the diva?
11:59Don't call her that.
12:01Sorry, but she really needs to chill.
12:03What are you doing here so late?
12:06It's not late for me.
12:08Creature of the night.
12:09Are you still recording?
12:10No, we're having a drink next door if you want to join us.
12:14Thanks, but I better not.
12:15Come on.
12:16It's just me and a couple of studio musos.
12:18I promise you'll have fun.
12:19No, it's not that.
12:20It's got a lot to do tomorrow, so.
12:22Next time?
12:24So, yourself.
12:24But FYI, you looked like you were having way more fun kicking back with the guitar than
12:29you did at the mixing desk.
12:34Swing by for a night.
12:35Happy to change your mind.
12:43About time you got home.
12:45Oh, I didn't realize you were waiting for me.
12:47So, how did it go?
12:48Good.
12:48Yeah?
12:49Mostly.
12:49I mean, we were working on my favorite track, but we feel like there's something missing.
12:53Well, I thought you were happy with it.
12:54I was.
12:55I mean, I am.
12:56I just think we need some backing vocals.
13:01And I was really hoping that you would do it.
13:04You want me to sing backup for your album?
13:07I know that it's late notice, but it's only one track.
13:10And Remy and I can't think of anyone more perfect.
13:12So, please, say yes.
13:16Yes!
13:17Yes!
13:18We need to be back in the studio first thing.
13:20It's going to be just like old times.
13:24Well, good night.
13:25Good night.
13:30What's going on?
13:38Here you go.
13:39This may help.
13:40Thanks.
13:43I've been thinking.
13:44You're right.
13:47I shouldn't just leave town because of Dad.
13:49What about Theo?
13:51Are you going to tell him that you were planning on leaving?
13:53What about your dad?
13:54Oh, hey!
13:56Hey.
13:57Hey.
13:57Lace, what are you doing here?
13:58I just ran into Leah and we got talking.
14:02How'd you go to the hospital?
14:04Got the old clear from the doctor, so I'll start with Tanya tomorrow.
14:07Good.
14:07What are you guys talking about?
14:14We were just going to cook dinner, weren't we?
14:17Great.
14:18I'm starving.
14:19Who wants a drink?
14:20Both?
14:20Yeah, yeah.
14:21Me, please.
14:21Great idea.
14:22Great idea.
14:29You all right?
14:30Yeah.
14:31Yeah, I'm fine.
14:31I'm so glad that you're here.
14:38Me too.
14:49Some days I'll forget.
14:53I hope Tanya doesn't go too easy on me.
14:56I know he said we'll start slow, but I'll be right.
15:00I'm not sure how long I'm going to be.
15:07Are you sticking around?
15:10Lace.
15:11Huh?
15:12Sorry.
15:14Have you been a bit quiet?
15:16Fine.
15:20It was really cool that you hung out with Leah yesterday.
15:24I enjoyed it.
15:25Yeah, I get the impression she did too.
15:28I know it's hard.
15:29She reminds you of your mum.
15:32But it means a lot to me that you're making the effort.
15:36Hey.
15:37Ready for your first session?
15:39Let's do it.
15:40Glad you're pumped.
15:42Hey, you're welcome to join us if you're going to watch me yell at your boyfriend.
15:44Hmm.
15:45Sounds fun, but I reckon I'll pass.
15:48You sure?
15:48Yeah.
15:49Yeah.
15:49We've got to keep job hunting.
15:51That's good luck.
15:55How many coffees does it take to produce an album?
16:00Can't wait.
16:01Did you come in and have a listen at some point?
16:02Same.
16:03It's going well then?
16:03Yeah.
16:04Yeah, Eden's coming in and lay down some back and back.
16:06Nice.
16:07Lacey.
16:08I'll chat to you soon.
16:09Right on, mate.
16:09Hey, thanks for helping out with dinner last night.
16:12Okay?
16:12It is a rare thing for Leah to let anyone into her kitchen.
16:16It was fun.
16:17All right.
16:18You should do it more often.
16:20Get your ass.
16:20Thanks for coming.
16:24No, I'm not staying.
16:26I'll keep it short.
16:29Can't help feeling you and I ended up in the same place for a reason.
16:34And I feel like it's an unfortunate coincidence.
16:38Just get to the point.
16:41I was hoping we could talk about where we go from here.
16:43How we go nowhere.
16:44Come on, Lacey.
16:45No, no, I mean it.
16:47If you see me, you walk the other way.
16:50We're not going to have coffee.
16:52You'll be friends.
16:52So please get that possibility out of your head right now.
16:56I'm your dad.
17:01Is this really how it's going to be?
17:03Absolutely.
17:05I want nothing to do with you ever.
17:20We can go through everything on the way, but I know how quick you are at picking up music.
17:32So I know it's not going to be a problem.
17:35Also, if you have any ideas whatsoever, I'm so happy to hear them.
17:38Coffee.
17:40And for you.
17:42Oh, do you feel that?
17:43Feels like old times.
17:44Yeah, except it's not like old times, is it?
17:49Hmm?
17:52I, I, I, I can't do it.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54What?
17:55Why not?
17:56Because I, I can't get my head around the idea of stepping up to the microphone when it's not with the band.
18:02I'm, I'm so grateful that you asked me, but you're going to have to get someone else.
18:06Okay.
18:12I'll meet you outside.
18:23Don't look at me alive, Dad.
18:25Look, I feel the same way about where things land are for the band, you know that.
18:29But you, me and Kirby, we are Luke.
18:31Okay, it started with us.
18:32So maybe, instead of getting caught up on how things ended, think about all the fun we had getting there.
18:40Hmm?
18:54Hey, Sarge.
18:55I feel like we got off on the wrong foot yesterday.
18:58Can we try again?
19:00Great minds.
19:00Because I was going to say, I think a clean slate do us both some good.
19:11Ordering you to bring in Lacey was an abuse of power.
19:14It won't happen again.
19:21I've had no idea where she's been for the past six months.
19:24I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her name on that case file.
19:30I'm grateful to you for the care you took of her during that case.
19:34I appreciate that.
19:36I've decided there'll be no formal action against you for involving a citizen in police operations.
19:46But that doesn't change the fact that you knowingly went against protocol.
19:53You'll be on traffic duty until further notice.
19:56Yes, Sarge.
20:00I trust you'll be doing things by the book.
20:03You have my word.
20:03That'll be all, Newman.
20:19The only other person I can think to ask is Theo.
20:23But I really think we need a female vocal.
20:25Yeah, I agree.
20:26Okay, I'll make some calls once we get in the studio.
20:28Get all set up.
20:28What the hell are you doing?
20:33Nothing.
20:34Seriously, what is this?
20:35Relax.
20:36I was just looking for some menus for some takeaway.
20:39Well, you have no right to be here.
20:42What was she looking through?
20:44Just our notes from yesterday.
20:46See?
20:47I need to call this TIA.
20:48Your secrets are safe.
20:50I'll leave you to it.
20:53Enjoy your day.
20:58This is a surprise.
21:04Friend?
21:05Fancy a game?
21:06Friend?
21:06Yeah, I guess so.
21:07Friend.
21:07I think we'd be really wrong as a couple.
21:13Dana, are you in there?
21:15Hey, Harper.
21:17What you doing here?
21:18They're just friends.
21:19Hi.
21:20Hi.
21:20But could they be something more?
21:22Just friends, remember?
21:24Took the words right out of my mouth.
21:26I don't do relationships.
21:29Sounds like she is your girlfriend, brother.
21:31He said that you and I are in a relationship, are we?
21:34I mean, you tell me.
21:35Well, I asked you first.
21:36I asked you last.
21:39Home and Away, next week on Seven.
