00:00If you did just want to tell me right here, Dana, you got the job, when can you start?
00:13That would be okay.
00:13I'm just there joking to Levi like I have the job already.
00:16Yeah, I got that.
00:17But really, no, joke's on me.
00:18Don't have the job, I'm the joke.
00:20At the risk of sounding stupid, why is it so important?
00:23When was the last time you had a job?
00:25Oh, excuse me, I was deeply committed to the Grade 6 Best Breakdancer.
00:28Okay, so we're just going to go straight to joking about it then.
00:30And it's not even a good joke, but forget it.
00:33Or I forget there's a board order and a surf lesson inquiry.
00:37What a shame, you don't have an assistant.
00:39Then you'd be able to handle this a lot more easily.
00:44Hey, it's Lacey, right?
00:46Yeah.
00:47It's just a beginner's class, you know, it's super basic.
00:50I teach them water safety, how to pop up, things like that.
00:53Hey.
00:54Hey.
00:55You said you stuffed up, what's going on?
00:57Yeah, I didn't fully understand what Molly was asking.
00:59He asked me if I could handle it, and I said yes, and now...
01:02You're teaching a surfing class?
01:04Yep.
01:04Do you know how to surf?
01:06No.
01:07You have to help me.
01:09Okay, can we...
01:22Can we just talk about this for a second?
01:24Um, no, actually, that's why I'm walking away from you.
01:26I'm going to say something that you're going to regret later.
01:28Okay, but we're not fighting, are we?
01:30Are we?
01:31Are you actually this close?
01:32Yeah, I actually am.
01:33I genuinely don't understand why you're so upset.
01:36No new job for Dana.
01:38Fair enough for you?
01:39No, not really, no.
01:40Sonny, it was a job I wanted, and I didn't get it, and it was an incredible opportunity.
01:44An opportunity you didn't know you had until yesterday, so what have you actually lost?
01:48That doesn't...
01:49See, this is why I can't talk to you about this.
01:50You don't have a job.
01:51I mean, you don't pay rent.
01:53So?
01:53Exactly.
01:54You're not going to be able to understand what this means to me.
01:57Okay, well...
01:58No!
01:58Then...
01:58Help me understand.
02:02You can't just fake your way through this lace.
02:08Well, I can't afford to lose this job.
02:10It's not safe.
02:11You've got to...
02:11You've got to cancel.
02:14No, yeah, you're right.
02:16I can't run this fast.
02:17No.
02:18Okay, guys.
02:19Uh, listen up.
02:20Uh, turns out I won't be running this class, because we have a special guest instructor,
02:25Theo.
02:26Woo!
02:28All right, now everyone, grab a board, and let's get started.
02:32Are you nuts?
02:33This is never going to work.
02:34It's never going to work.
02:35We're just beginners.
02:36You just need to teach them a few basics.
02:37Show them, um, pop-ups.
02:39You'll be great.
02:42Please.
02:43I'm only going to turn my life around if I don't have a job.
02:50All right, guys.
02:51I'm going to be teaching you class today.
02:54Follow me.
02:54Let's do it.
02:55All right, let's do it.
03:02Stay out of the line.
03:11Mate, I think we need to have a chat about your new employee.
03:14I said I would get you the paperwork, and I will.
03:16Do you even know what she's doing right now?
03:17Her job.
03:18And if you would give me half a chance, I'd be able to do mine.
03:21So you're completely satisfied with her performance?
03:24She has been working for me for about 30 seconds.
03:26I'm as happy as I could be.
03:27Yeah, well, personally, I think you might like to reconsider your choice.
03:31Ha ha.
03:32Are you being serious right now?
03:35I have done exactly what you wanted.
03:37I've hired help.
03:38There is nothing more to discuss.
03:40So you don't need my help or advice.
03:42Is that it?
03:43Like I've said many, many times, please, buddy, up.
03:46This is my business.
03:47Let me run it my way.
03:48I'll leave you to it, then.
03:54She's been squatting there for weeks.
03:56To her, that 10 is home.
03:57So go easy, yeah?
03:58Got it.
03:59Any reports of violence or damn it?
04:00No, no.
04:01She's set up camp.
04:01The neighbours are kicking up a stink.
04:03That's all.
04:03I'll move her along.
04:04Be respectful.
04:05Treat her with dignity, all right?
04:07Will do.
04:08Take Stylen.
04:09Any trouble, just call it in.
04:10Off you go.
04:11Right, let's go, guys.
04:12All right.
04:13Now I've got time?
04:14Always.
04:16Everything all right?
04:18I'm still a bit...
04:19You're smiling.
04:20That's a good sign, right?
04:23Dad, I got it.
04:24I got the job.
04:26Congratulations.
04:27That's great news.
04:30Things are starting to feel a bit more settled.
04:33Yeah.
04:33Starting to feel real now.
04:36Look, I know the place we're staying isn't great,
04:39but it's only temporary.
04:40I'll find us somewhere better.
04:42Sounds good.
04:43As long as we're together anyway.
04:45Come through.
04:47Coffee?
04:48No, no, no, no.
04:49You guys focus for now.
04:50We will celebrate later tonight, okay?
04:52Oh.
04:53Yeah, I will be there, Rem.
04:55Right on, mate.
04:56Bye.
04:57What are we celebrating?
04:58Kirby wrapping up in the studio, if all goes to plan.
05:01Does that mean the album's finished?
05:03Ah, Remi still has to mix the tracks, but we are on the home stretch.
05:07Congratulations.
05:07That's quite an achievement.
05:09What is wrong with the youth of today?
05:11I mean, apart from the obvious.
05:12I came across some great intel for Marley.
05:15He couldn't care less.
05:16Well, not everyone's into gossip, John.
05:18Excuse me, he's not gossip.
05:19This could affect his business.
05:20Hey!
05:21Hey!
05:22John!
05:22Welcome back!
05:24Great timing, as always.
05:25I didn't know you were coming back.
05:26It was just a spur of the moment, you know.
05:28Have you been to the house yet?
05:30No, I was just about to head there now, actually.
05:31I'll come with you.
05:32I'll just go on my break.
05:33Well, I've got to get going, but catch up later, Leah.
05:35We'd love to see you.
05:36Oh, you're on.
05:37Okay.
05:40Oh, great.
05:42I'll just amuse myself, then, will I?
05:48Dr. Fowler's reputation is right off there.
05:51It's a pretty big deal to be selected on his team.
05:54You must have impressed him during the interview.
05:56Yeah, and here I was, thinking I utterly embarrassed myself.
06:00What do you mean?
06:02Oh, nothing.
06:03I just had a bit of a wobble, but Dr. Fowler was really good about it.
06:06What happened?
06:08Nerves, stress, you know.
06:11Anyway, it all came good in the end.
06:12You should go to dinner and celebrate.
06:14It's on me.
06:14No, no.
06:15Tonight is on me.
06:16I'm going to take you somewhere fancy.
06:18Dad, do you even know anywhere fancy?
06:20I'll figure it out.
06:21Just give us a minute.
06:22Yeah, Tom, go ahead.
06:23We've attempted to move on the homeless woman, but she doesn't want to cooperate.
06:28I'll tie it.
06:28I'll be there soon.
06:29Thanks, Hutch.
06:29Judy calls.
06:31See you back here tonight at six?
06:32Yeah.
06:38Listen, listen.
06:39You're only making this harder for yourself.
06:41I'm not hurting anyone.
06:42I understand that, but this is a legal setup.
06:44Nobody cares.
06:45Nobody cares.
06:46We all have a choice.
06:47All right.
06:47You need to move away right now.
06:49I am still living in love.
06:49All right, all right, all right, Tom.
06:52I'll take it from here.
06:56My name's David.
06:58It's yours.
06:59Are you kidding me?
07:00Come on, what's your name?
07:03Samantha.
07:04Okay, Samantha.
07:05So I hear you've been copping grief from the neighbours.
07:08That must be tough.
07:08They can whine all they want.
07:09I couldn't care less.
07:10We could find you somewhere to stay, somewhere without the hassles, the annoying neighbours.
07:14You want to help me?
07:16Leave me alone.
07:17But I can help you if you let me.
07:21Sarge?
07:22Yeah?
07:23Take a look.
07:25Just a minute.
07:26What is it?
07:27Take a look.
07:29Looks like about 20 phones.
07:30Hey, get away from my car.
07:32You need to step back.
07:33Get away from my car.
07:33Why not ask you again?
07:34Make me.
07:35Make me.
07:35I'm right.
07:35You can't ask you again.
07:37Hey, that's enough, Tom.
07:39Just kidding me, this is harassment.
07:40Okay, you need to calm down.
07:42Mom?
07:48It's okay, sweetie.
07:49Go back inside.
07:49Go back inside.
07:50All right.
08:02Nice work.
08:03Don't forget to book in your next lesson.
08:05That's when you get in the water.
08:07See?
08:08I'm fine.
08:09Yeah, now I'm sore as.
08:11Hey, can you make it a part of your fitness program?
08:13Tony would love that.
08:15You're a good teacher.
08:16It's kind of hot.
08:18Ah, okay.
08:19Yeah, I see what you're doing.
08:20Yeah, is it working?
08:21No.
08:23Look, I just need you to cover for me a little bit longer
08:25so Marley can see I'm a good worker.
08:29Who doesn't know how to serve?
08:31All right, I can do everything else.
08:34Please.
08:36Lacey.
08:37Lacey.
08:39We need a talk.
08:42I'm impressed.
08:43You hit the ground running
08:44and the students seem stoked.
08:47Yeah.
08:48It was nothing.
08:50Come on.
08:51I'll show you where we hose off the boards.
08:52Thank you for not throwing me under the bus.
08:56Oh, I reckon the tree's better coming from you.
09:00It will never work.
09:01We could try.
09:02You got lucky this time, but most surf lessons, they're actually in the surf.
09:07Hey, you and I need to talk about these phones.
09:12I'm done with talking.
09:13I don't think you understand.
09:14Then help me understand.
09:16I've got a kid who needs to eat and somewhere to sleep.
09:20Look, I don't know what you've been through, but it's tough being a parent.
09:22I've got two girls myself.
09:25I get it.
09:25You want to protect them.
09:26Everyone has turned their back on us.
09:28It is just me and him now.
09:30I don't think you get how that feels.
09:33Mom?
09:34Listen.
09:35Whatever happens next, you and your son will be safe.
09:38You're going to bust me, aren't you?
09:40The phones match the description of stolen property from a warehouse in Reifton Lakes a week ago.
09:45From one parent to another.
09:47Walk away just this once.
09:48I can't do that.
09:57I won't go quietly.
10:00Samantha, I'm going to take your son.
10:02He's going to pack a bag.
10:03Constable Bowman is going to place you under arrest.
10:06Hey?
10:07Just like the rest of those dogs.
10:08This is happening, all right.
10:09I prefer it didn't go down in front of your son, but that's up to you.
10:17Go with the copper.
10:17Do as he says.
10:19I want to stay with you.
10:20It's okay.
10:20Do this for your mum.
10:28Mum didn't do anything wrong.
10:29I hope you're right.
10:34You have the right to remain silent.
10:36Anything you say or do.
10:37Do you need a hand?
10:38No.
10:40My name's David.
10:41What's yours?
10:42What's yours?
10:45Fair enough.
10:47We're going to look after you, all right?
10:56Thanks.
10:59Well, hey.
11:00Didn't see you there.
11:02Oh.
11:03Surprised my neon loser sign didn't give me away.
11:07Did you also hear about the job?
11:08Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, actually.
11:12Yeah.
11:12What a colossal waste of time, right?
11:14I don't know why we bothered applying.
11:17Actually, I was offered the position.
11:20Right.
11:22You're crying, aren't you?
11:23Yeah, unfortunately.
11:25I thought it was like I'm making you feel sorry for you, think?
11:28No, it wasn't like that.
11:30Okay.
11:31Liv, I just think I'm the worst nurse in the world.
11:33For the record, I got that job based on merit, my qualifications and experience.
11:37Oh, yeah, you're qualifying your experience.
11:39Yeah, close enough.
11:41I've been a cardiac nurse for six years.
11:43Anyway, just wanted to tell you in person.
11:48It seemed like the friendly thing to do.
11:52Hey.
11:53Oh, no, I actually can't deal with you right now.
11:56You clearly have a death wish, though.
11:57I thought about what you said and you were right.
11:59Yeah, dude, if you think sucking up to me is the answer, you are wrong.
12:03I know.
12:04But also, what was I right about?
12:07I'm not ambitious.
12:09Never have been.
12:09But if this career thing is important to you, then it's important to me.
12:17It's so good to be home.
12:19It was so quiet here without you.
12:22Now, are you going to tell me the real reason you came home early?
12:25Yeah, I missed you.
12:27And also, Dad arrived up in Marimbula.
12:30Yes.
12:31And it took him about a day before he started going on about how he thinks I'm a failure as a foster parent.
12:36I'm sure he didn't put it like that.
12:37He may as well have.
12:38And then he tried to drag Mum into the argument as well.
12:41It was very upsetting.
12:42Okay.
12:43Well, it's good that you're back then.
12:44You need some space.
12:45Yeah, I don't want to be around that negativity.
12:47No.
12:48So you've decided you're definitely ready for fostering again?
12:52Absolutely.
12:53You're just going to go straight back in?
12:54Oh, yeah, no.
12:55I've told them I'm ready for another placement.
12:57But, um, I mean, it took months to get Eliza.
12:59Yeah, no.
13:01Anyway, I'm just going to focus on me right now.
13:04That sounds like a really good idea.
13:05Mm.
13:06Where is she?
13:07Mum will be here soon.
13:08Are you hungry?
13:11I'll show you anything you want.
13:13You tried to say being rough for two years.
13:14You think I wanted this?
13:15It's like, Mum, stay there.
13:17Get your hands off me.
13:18Leave her alone.
13:19Get off her.
13:19I can't do this.
13:20I can't do this.
13:21I got my right.
13:22Okay?
13:22You can't do this.
13:23Don't touch me.
13:25She didn't do anything wrong.
13:26Leave her alone.
13:27Get off me.
13:27Leave her alone.
13:28I have the right.
13:29I got my right.
13:30Say, go on me.
13:31Mum.
13:31Mum.
13:33Get off me.
13:33Now I need you to calm down.
13:39Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:40It's okay.
13:42They need to ask her some questions and then you can see your mum.
13:45Hey.
13:45It's okay.
13:46Don't touch me.
13:47You want to sit here?
13:48It's okay.
13:49It's okay.
13:50Get off me.
13:53That's great.
14:00Opportunities really don't come along like this often.
14:03Nah, you'll have a bad luck next time.
14:05Yes, but they might not be in next time.
14:06That's what I'm saying.
14:07So what are my options now?
14:09You're asking me?
14:10No, I'm not asking you.
14:11Oh.
14:12No.
14:13I can do this.
14:14You don't have to.
14:14You want to?
14:15I will.
14:15You want options?
14:16I will give you options.
14:17Okay.
14:18How's it going?
14:21It's going well.
14:23You could just chill with me and not stress so much.
14:26Or you could take some time out, go to South America.
14:29It's fun.
14:29It sounds fun.
14:30It's really more...
14:31It's not going to help me with the career progression thing.
14:34Okay.
14:34Okay.
14:35Yeah, okay.
14:36Right, so Jo got the job you wanted because she was more qualified, right?
14:39Yes.
14:40So do what she did.
14:40What?
14:41Sweep in and crush people's dreams?
14:42No.
14:42Do some training.
14:43So you're ready for the next opportunity.
14:45In the meantime, just keep doing the amazing job you're doing.
14:48Sorry, I had a go at you.
14:52Oh, no.
14:53Sorry, I probably deserved it.
15:02Don't tell anyone.
15:04I can't get enough of these.
15:07Go on.
15:08I might bite you.
15:09Thanks.
15:13Sorry, I hate you.
15:15Apology accepted.
15:19This would be a lot less awkward if I knew your name.
15:24Colin.
15:25That's a good name.
15:27Nice to meet you, Colin.
15:29Sarge.
15:29Just a minute.
15:36So she's still refusing to cooperate, but we did get a surname.
15:39Luther.
15:40She ran a background check.
15:41Yeah.
15:42Outstanding arrest warrants for shoplifting and the string of breaking enters.
15:46It's not looking good.
15:48No, it's not.
15:50She'll have to go before the magistrate tomorrow.
15:52If she's locked up overnight, what do we do with the boy?
15:59Hi.
16:02Just leave it with me.
16:03Yeah, of course.
16:05Ready to go?
16:06Dinner.
16:08Sorry.
16:09I'm going to be here a while.
16:11That's right.
16:11I don't mind hanging around.
16:13We can at least get some takeaway.
16:13Okay.
16:22Right, Marley must be around here somewhere.
16:24Well, if it isn't our new surfing instructor.
16:26Do you know where Marley is?
16:27No idea.
16:28How was your first class?
16:29Not now, John.
16:30Well, she looked mightily relaxed through the binoculars.
16:34I assume Marley doesn't know.
16:36Hmm.
16:37Well, I'm surprised you haven't told him.
16:38Tried, Terry wouldn't listen.
16:40Listen to what?
16:41Um, I need to tell you something real quick.
16:43There's something that I should have told you when you first offered me the job.
16:48Um, the thing is, I don't know how to surf.
16:52Sorry, what?
16:53Um, I couldn't catch a wave to save my life.
16:56But you had to take over the lesson.
16:59Oh, bad luck.
17:00But you didn't listen to me.
17:13I'll only be gone one night.
17:40You didn't know that.
17:44It's gonna be okay.
17:47We'll see you tomorrow.
17:50Promise?
17:51Yeah.
17:52I promise.
17:53But in the meantime, I need you to be brave.
17:58Okay?
18:00Do as the coppers say.
18:02It's time.
18:09Come here.
18:10Thanks.
18:10I love you so much.
18:21Don't you forget that, okay?
18:27Come on.
18:27You gotta be a nerd.
18:57Don't you reckon trying to pull a swifty on me?
18:59Oh, I hope she doesn't lose her job.
19:01You mean the job she's not qualified for?
19:03I think you're being a bit hard on her job.
19:05I think you're being a bit soft.
19:06She's trying to turn her life around.
19:08I think we should support her.
19:09Look.
19:10Hey.
19:11Oh, here.
19:13Yeah.
19:13I just assumed it was a sales and admin role.
19:16It's a surf shop.
19:16I know, but when you offered me the job, you didn't say anything about lessons.
19:21To be fair, I didn't pull much effort into showing you the ropes.
19:25Hmm.
19:27Sorry for jumping in and teaching you lessons.
19:30Raspberry, they're good.
19:31Look, I know that I messed up.
19:33But I really need this job.
19:35I can't work with someone I don't trust.
19:39But I am a big believer of second chances.
19:43What are you saying?
19:45No surf lessons, obviously.
19:48But I do need a hand with sales and admin.
19:53Do we have a deal?
19:55Yeah.
19:57Oh, Ru, that's so sad.
19:59I'm sorry.
20:01Yeah.
20:02All right, darling.
20:02Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.
20:05Everything all right?
20:06Yeah.
20:14Hi, I'm Sergeant David Langham.
20:21Oh, yeah, I heard there was a new sheriff in town.
20:23It's nice to meet you.
20:24You too.
20:25And who do we have here?
20:27This is Cohen.
20:28Cohen, this is your new foster carer, Ru Stewart.
20:31Hi, Cohen.
20:32Just call me Ru, okay?
20:34Now, come on in.
20:34Make yourself at home.
20:35Come on in.
20:44Why be rivals when we could be allies?
21:02Allies it is.
21:03Allies it is.
21:05What's going on?
21:06We want to record a duet.
21:07That's a great idea.
21:09Yep, we thought so too.
21:10Remy said no.
21:11We're just going to change his mind.
21:12It's just I am so under the pump that something has to give now.
21:15What happened to the Remy, I'll sleep when I'm dead, Carter?
21:18I don't know, you got tired.
21:19Well, you've got to wake up, man, because this is a golden opportunity.
21:22It is a golden opportunity, and all you have to do is to take it.
