00:00You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever, no matter where you are, you're my guiding star, and from the very first moment I saw you, I never felt such emotion, walking on air,
00:28just to know you are there, hold me in your arms, don't let me go, I want to stay forever, close to each day, home in no way.
00:50Too tired to work on my album, but perfectly fine to work on hers. By the way, I'm not angry at you, just sleeping beauty over here.
00:56I am not recording with Avalon tonight, I'm recording with you.
00:59Well, we don't have any more sessions left.
01:01We'll have as many sessions as we need to finish this.
01:03Okay, wrap it up.
01:04No, and before you start, I don't want to hear any complaints about who's paying for it and how much it costs.
01:08I stuffed this up, so let me fix it.
01:11Constable Bowman is going to place you under arrest.
01:13Just like the rest of those dogs.
01:14This is happening alright, I prefer it didn't go down in front of you son, but that's up to you.
01:18Don't touch me, she didn't do anything wrong.
01:20Leave her alone, you're not me!
01:22Now I need you to calm down, they need you to ask us some questions and then you can see your mum.
01:27It's going to be okay, I'll only be gone one night.
01:30Promise?
01:31Yeah, I promise.
01:33I love you so much.
01:35Don't you forget that, okay?
01:39Hi, I'm Sergeant David Langham.
01:41And who do we have here?
01:42This is Cohen.
01:43Cohen, this is your new foster carer, Ruth Stewart.
01:46To us!
01:52We've finished recording this album.
01:54Yes.
01:57Why are you not celebrating with us?
01:59Well, someone's got to finish the mix.
02:00Well, my case.
02:01So, when do you think that's going to be done?
02:03Uh, hard to say.
02:04Well, give it a try, Bob.
02:05Uh, it'll be done when it's done.
02:07Well, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to find a date that we can have for the launch party, that's all.
02:11Yes, and I don't want my date to be anywhere near Avalon's date because I don't want to compete with her.
02:15So, has she set her date yet?
02:17I think so, but look, you're going to have to ask yourself.
02:20Anyway, I'm off.
02:21I'm going to get some sleep and then I'm back to work.
02:23Good man.
02:25I love you, Remy.
02:26You should.
02:28Oh my God!
02:30Bye, I got your tears.
02:32Cheers, yeah, go.
02:34Um...
02:34I hope you like lasagna, okay?
02:38We had some in the fridge.
02:39Looks pretty good.
02:42You'd better get stuck in or I will.
02:44Just give it a go, okay?
02:46If you don't like it, um, I can make you some toast.
02:50Okay.
02:57Good.
02:58Oh.
03:01Hello.
03:02Oh, Marilyn.
03:03Uh, Cohen, this is Marilyn.
03:04She also lives here.
03:05Yes, I'm the fun one.
03:07That's not true.
03:08Either way, I'm David.
03:10Oh, hello, David.
03:11Nice to meet you.
03:12Um, can you just sit with Cohen for a sec?
03:14I just want to ask you a couple of questions.
03:16Sure.
03:18Hi.
03:20Okay, now, is there anything else I need to be aware of?
03:23The department said you'd get a call from the social worker.
03:26His mum's court hearing is in the morning.
03:28We'll know more after that.
03:30What if she doesn't get bail?
03:31He'll need to stay here until I can find a family member who's willing to take him.
03:36That's all right.
03:36He can stay here as long as he needs to.
03:41I mean, seriously, what are the chances?
03:42Have you been on my front doorstep?
03:44Are you all right?
03:45I think it's a sign.
03:47Yeah, a sign what?
03:48That we're in sync and that we need to get back to work on my album.
03:54That's actually what I came here to talk to you about.
03:58Okay, you could have just called.
03:59Yes, but it's a lot harder to say no to someone in person.
04:04We need to go to the studio.
04:05Now.
04:06Come on, let's go.
04:06Let's go.
04:07We'll talk about it tomorrow, all right?
04:09You're really pushing the friendship here.
04:12Like, I was willing to overlook the fact that you prioritised Kirby's album over mine.
04:16I just need some sleep because I am exhausted.
04:18Where's that little helper that you gave?
04:20No, I don't need it.
04:20I don't need it.
04:21Yeah, well, I do.
04:25Hi.
04:26What?
04:27I've cut my maternity leave short.
04:28I start back at work tomorrow.
04:30Wow.
04:31All steam ahead then, doll.
04:32Yep, life goes on.
04:34I need to think about something other than myself.
04:36Ah, fair enough.
04:38Maybe you could sleep in a little bit.
04:39No, before you try and talk me out of it, I've already arranged really great daycare for Archie.
04:44It's done.
04:44I'm ready.
04:45And Tane's on board with this?
04:46I don't know.
04:47I haven't asked him.
04:48I'll be it for me to stick my bib in love, but don't you think you should?
04:51No one is questioning whether it's a good idea for him to get on a plane and go to Japan when he has a baby.
04:56But if I dare go back to work to earn a living, I'm the worst parent ever.
05:00I didn't say that.
05:01Did I say that?
05:03Yeah.
05:04There's your takeaway.
05:05Go wild.
05:07Thanks.
05:07So, when can I get you in the recording studio?
05:14You know, Kirby's not the only one with the deadlines.
05:15Yeah, some more air of that, but there's only so many hours in a day.
05:18That's why I use the night, too.
05:21Hey!
05:23Hi.
05:23What happened to catching up on sleep?
05:25I happened.
05:26Oh!
05:27Well, I'm actually really glad you're here.
05:29That's the first.
05:30Yes, it is a first.
05:31Have you set a date for your launch party yet?
05:35Nothing definite.
05:37I need to finish the album first.
05:39Oh, well, yes.
05:41Sorry for hugging him lately.
05:42I liked it when you two hated each other.
05:44Uh-uh!
05:44No!
05:44No, no, no!
05:45I never hated her.
05:47However, I did envy you a little.
05:49I did.
05:49Why?
05:50Because your first album was amazing.
05:52And I just totally bailed on mine.
05:55Plus, you're a whole step ahead of me.
05:57Trust me, that's not necessarily a positive.
05:59Do you feel like a drink?
06:03No, no, all right, no.
06:05Oh.
06:05You are too wide.
06:06You're too buzz.
06:07Yeah.
06:07I don't have the energy.
06:08I can't deal with either of you right now.
06:10Okay, okay.
06:11I will go home.
06:12Good.
06:13But call me.
06:13Yes, as soon as humanly possible.
06:15Mm-hmm.
06:15Are you okay to get home?
06:16Yeah, I got it.
06:23What?
06:24Remy, you were just so good.
06:26And you were just so supportive.
06:30You know what?
06:30I'm going to stay up with you in solidarity.
06:32We still have half a bottle of red in the kitchen, right?
06:34No, Kirby.
06:34No, no, Kirby Kirby.
06:36Blackies.
06:37Good night.
06:41Fine.
06:44Okay, Mr. Boring.
06:46Sleep well.
06:50Hey.
06:51Um, Cohen, do you have your PJs in your bag?
06:54Yeah.
06:54Great.
06:55All right.
06:56Have you had a big day?
06:57You must be tired.
06:58A little.
06:58Mm.
07:00Do you like reading?
07:02Yeah.
07:03Yeah, so do I.
07:04Nothing beats a good book.
07:07My mum used to read to me a lot when I was younger.
07:10I miss her.
07:11I bet she misses you too.
07:13Listen, just go upstairs, get ready for bed,
07:15and I'll be up in a seat.
07:16Aw.
07:16You sure you're okay with, um, Cohen being here?
07:24Yeah, of course I am.
07:25It's just after last time.
07:26I would understand if you weren't.
07:28Roo, he's a lovely boy,
07:30and he needs someone like you in his life.
07:32Yeah, I hope you're right.
07:34Of course I'm right.
07:35You've got this, okay?
07:37No, that's fine.
07:42I don't mind the time.
07:43Appreciate you getting back to me.
07:45How'd you go?
07:46I said nothing, Cohen, Luther.
07:53What about his mother, Samantha?
07:55I'm looking for any family that...
07:59I said neither of them have been through the system.
08:05No, that's fine.
08:07I was just hoping I might get lucky.
08:08That's all.
08:10All right.
08:11Thanks.
08:12Have a good night.
08:16There you are.
08:27Everything okay?
08:28Yep.
08:31It's getting late, you know.
08:33Just let me finish this chapter.
08:36What's the book about?
08:38You probably wouldn't like it.
08:40How do you know?
08:41Why don't you try me?
08:42What's it about?
08:43It's a realm where dragons rule everything.
08:46But I think I like the other books in the series better.
08:49Oh.
08:50How many books in the series?
08:51Seven.
08:52Wow.
08:53You must like reading.
08:56When mum's busy, I go to the library.
08:59I'm not allowed to borrow anything, but they let me read whatever I want.
09:03Why can't you borrow anything?
09:05We don't have an address.
09:08But it's always warm in there.
09:10And sometimes the lady gives me a book to keep.
09:13Oh, that's nice, isn't she?
09:15Yeah.
09:16Okay.
09:18Well, look.
09:20Um, I'm just down the hall.
09:21So if you need anything, you just...
09:24You know, cool down.
09:29Or I can just stay in here for a little bit.
09:31Would you like that?
09:32If that's okay?
09:32Yeah, sure.
09:34I might read one of your books.
09:35Why don't you hop into bed?
09:36I'll just finish the chapter in the morning.
09:46Yeah, good idea.
09:48No.
09:49No.
09:49Oh, just in time for breakfast.
10:12Do you like scrambled eggs?
10:14I don't know.
10:15We're about to find out, I guess.
10:17Oh, morning.
10:18Hi.
10:19Hi.
10:19No, there's some eggs up there if you want them.
10:20Oh, no, thanks, Sally.
10:21I'll just have toast.
10:22Hey, how did you sleep?
10:24Good.
10:25Come on.
10:25Do you want some fruit?
10:30Hello?
10:30Yes, of course.
10:31Listen, you don't have to ask permission, okay?
10:33If you want it, you just grab it.
10:36Just make sure you don't get into her secret chocolate stash.
10:40Come in.
10:41Hi.
10:41Oh, no, Archie.
10:43Oh, not today.
10:44Sorry, Maz.
10:44I'm actually here in an official capacity.
10:47Oh.
10:48Have you gone back to work?
10:49Yeah, I have.
10:50And don't worry, before you ask, Archie's being well looked after at daycare.
10:54You must be Colin.
10:57My name's Harper.
10:58I'm your social worker.
11:00How are you settling in?
11:02Pretty good.
11:03Yeah, I think.
11:04Yeah.
11:06After breakfast, if it's okay with you, I'd like to spend some time with Colin.
11:10It's important we get to know each other.
11:12Is that a cool idea?
11:15Listen, Harper's really good at a job, and she's also a friend of mine.
11:20And I will never be far away, okay?
11:24You're right.
11:26Okay.
11:29Hi.
11:32Is this a trap?
11:34No, this is not.
11:36You've never asked me to hang out before.
11:38This is true.
11:39But somewhere between my three champagnes last night and falling asleep, I had an epiphany about you.
11:44Well, about us.
11:47There's an us?
11:48There could be.
11:50Professionally speaking.
11:51Why be rivals when we could be allies?
11:57You want us to help each other?
11:58I do.
11:59And I know you have more solo experience than I do, so I'm sure you're wondering what's in it for you.
12:04Two words.
12:05Cross promotion.
12:06Keep going.
12:09Well, we appeal to a similar audience, right?
12:11Yeah.
12:11Yes.
12:12So?
12:12We promote each other's albums.
12:16Okay.
12:18Really?
12:18Yeah.
12:19It's a good idea.
12:20Yes.
12:20All right.
12:21Allies it is.
12:22Allies it is.
12:24Yes.
12:26Hi, you ready?
12:29Yeah, lucky day.
12:30You want to knock next door?
12:32Guess who's the best manager ever.
12:33It's you, obviously.
12:34Yes, it is.
12:35Um, so, the venue Kirby wanted for her launch had a cancellation.
12:41And so I've convinced them to put it on hold for us for next week.
12:46Can I confirm that?
12:47Confirm what?
12:48Well, is the album going to be ready by then?
12:50I don't know.
12:51You have to have some idea when the album...
12:53Like I told you, it'll be ready when it's ready.
12:55All right.
12:56Well, someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.
12:58Well, it can't be me, mate.
12:59I haven't even got into it.
13:00All right.
13:01Sorry, that was a joke.
13:02Yeah, okay.
13:02You want an album done in a week?
13:04Yeah.
13:04Right.
13:04This is what you're going to do.
13:05You're going to leave me alone, stop interrupting me, and you'll have an album.
13:10I'm going to do that.
13:11Good.
13:12I'm going to leave.
13:13Good.
13:14Good luck.
13:15Mate, that you need luck.
13:16Yep.
13:26Hey.
13:27Hey.
13:27How's Colin this morning?
13:28Um, all things considered, I think he's going pretty well.
13:33Well, yeah, he's with a social worker at the moment.
13:34She's a friend of mine.
13:35Oh, good.
13:36Because he's going to be with you for a bit longer.
13:39That's fine.
13:39You couldn't find any relatives?
13:41Not yet.
13:42I put in a request for his birth certificate this morning.
13:45His mother's too.
13:45I'm hoping they'll give us his father's name or a grandparent.
13:48Okay.
13:49Is there anything else I can do?
13:50My only other course of action is to speak to Colin directly, and I'd appreciate your help
13:55with that.
13:55Yeah, sure.
13:56Why did you become a foster parent?
14:01A lot of reasons, really, you know.
14:04My father would say it's because I'm a bleeding heart, and he wouldn't be wrong, you know.
14:07I like to think I can make a difference.
14:10Well, Ruth, the world could do with a little more compassion.
14:13Is that why you became a cop?
14:15No.
14:16I'm just reckoning I'd look good in a uniform.
14:19Listen, my friends call me Rue, okay?
14:21Okay, Rue.
14:22Let's go and see Colin, eh?
14:24Yep.
14:24Remy, hi.
14:27What, what, what?
14:28Ah, we've had a great idea.
14:29Brilliant.
14:29Brilliant, thank you.
14:30Brilliant idea.
14:31Well, you two, together.
14:32Yes.
14:33Kirby pointed out that two driven, talented women are better than one.
14:37Yeah, so that's exactly why we've decided to...
14:39Do a duet.
14:44It's genius, right?
14:45We are going to need to fast track it to get it on my album, though.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Don't worry, a maestro composer over here has already thought up a melody.
14:52We are going to need lyrics, however, we'll be ready to record it by the end of the week.
14:55You're joking, right?
14:56Not at all, just say yes, ma'am.
14:58Kirby, I am so under the pump, and now you want to add to that.
15:01I do, because I want this to be the best album possible.
15:04No.
15:05Just say yes, please.
15:06No, Kirby.
15:06Buy money.
15:08My call.
15:09No duet.
15:09Do you know what's happening with my mum?
15:21I don't.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:22You must know something.
15:24Where'd she sleep last night?
15:25They didn't tell me.
15:27What did they tell you?
15:29Can I see her today?
15:30Can I visit her?
15:31I don't really know, Colin, mate, but I am sure that your mum will be okay, yeah?
15:39The police will be taking good care of her.
15:42Will they?
15:42Hey, um, do you know how to skim rocks?
15:49They bounce.
15:51I'm not really any good at it.
15:53Want me to give it a go?
15:58Hmm.
16:00I'll, um, I'll just, I'll be right back.
16:08Hey.
16:09Hey.
16:10Les told me what's happening.
16:11How is he?
16:14He's not really opening up much.
16:16Not yet, anyway.
16:20I love this part of my job.
16:23And I get to care for kids that are lost and confused.
16:27Like Dana and I were.
16:31Well, love, it's safe and it's cared for.
16:34It's the most important thing.
16:35Yeah, it is.
16:41Remi just can't see the big picture.
16:47I mean, a duet would boost sales for both of our albums.
16:50Yeah, like he should want that, right?
16:52Like he's producing one and then featuring on the other.
16:54Exactly.
16:55Yeah.
16:56Why is it his call?
16:58Like, it's your album.
17:00Yeah, it is my album, but he is paying for it.
17:03Wait, what?
17:04Remi is producing and also investing.
17:07Okay, that explains the whole my money, my call thing.
17:11Yeah.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Wow, Remi doesn't exactly scream cashed up.
17:15Well, I'd say don't judge a book by its cover.
17:18Lucky you.
17:19You know, most of my friends couldn't even bribe their way into a club.
17:22Hey.
17:23Hey.
17:24What's going on?
17:25Avalon and I are bonding over a missed opportunity.
17:28We want to record a duet.
17:30That's a great idea.
17:33Yeah, we thought so too.
17:35Remi said no.
17:36We just got to change his mind.
17:37Well, it was pretty definite.
17:38It was like a hard no.
17:40You know what?
17:41Leave this with your manager.
17:46There she is.
17:48Did you have a good time?
17:49Yeah, it was good.
17:49I promised him I'd make him a burger.
17:52Oh, yeah.
17:53I'll be back in a flash, darling.
17:54Thanks, Irene.
17:56Harper, this is Sergeant Langham.
17:58David's fine.
17:59Ah, Harper Matheson.
18:00This is the social worker I was telling you about.
18:03Hey, Colin, it was really nice to spend time with you today, yeah?
18:06I'll see you again soon.
18:08See ya.
18:08Listen, just come down here.
18:10Now, David and I would like to ask you just some questions about your family.
18:14Would that be all right by you?
18:15Yes.
18:16So there are no right or wrong answers here, okay?
18:21Can you tell me your dad's name?
18:23No.
18:24I don't know.
18:25What about your grandparents?
18:28No, no.
18:30Well, okay.
18:30And what's her real name?
18:31Do you know?
18:32I don't know.
18:33We used to visit her a lot, but not anymore.
18:36Does she live far away?
18:39Canberra.
18:40Sorry, I've got to take this.
18:43Sergeant Langham.
18:44I don't want to take up too much of your time.
18:58I just want to talk to you about something real quick, right?
19:00Oh, go on.
19:02Go on.
19:02I just ran into Kirby and Avalon.
19:04Oh, I'm not doing the duet.
19:05Why not?
19:06It is a good idea.
19:07I never said it wasn't.
19:08And it's going to help all of us.
19:09Yes, I know, okay?
19:11It's just I am so under the pump that something has to give me.
19:13What happened to the Remy, I'll sleep when I'm dead, Carter?
19:17He got tired.
19:19Well, you've got to wake up, man, because this is a golden opportunity.
19:22It is a golden opportunity.
19:24And all you have to do is to take it.
19:27Just one word.
19:29Three little letters.
19:30Y-D-S.
19:32So easy.
19:33Say it with me.
19:34Ready?
19:34We'll do it together.
19:35Yes.
19:39Just say yes.
19:46So what happened?
19:48Samantha was denied bail.
19:50They're transferring her to the women's prison now.
19:53It gets worse.
19:56She's chosen to relinquish her parental rights.
19:59She's what?
20:01She says she doesn't want anything to do with Cohen.
20:05I was so excited to finish this album, but now without the duet, it just feels incomplete.
20:18I hate that.
20:20I hate wondering what if.
20:22I know.
20:23There is one silver lining, though.
20:25Yeah?
20:25What's that?
20:26I made a new friend.
20:27You did make a new friend!
20:30Oi.
20:31Hey.
20:32Hey.
20:32Stop flacking off, you two, and get back to work.
20:35What are you talking about?
20:35The duet is on!
20:37What?
20:37Yes!
20:38I didn't do it!
20:39I told you I would take care of it.
20:40Frankly, I'm a little bit hurt that you doubted me.
20:42Okay, look.
20:43I would apologize, but we have a song to write.
20:46Thank you!
20:46Let's go!
20:47I love you.
20:49I love you.
20:56I love you.
21:05No.
21:07No.
21:09Oh my God.
21:28I need this.
21:39I still can't believe you got Remy over the line.
21:51Yeah, I'll leave it.
21:52Thank you so much for changing your mind.
21:54Yeah, we love you for it.
21:55And you're not going to regret it because this song is going to be a banger.
21:57I'm working here, okay?
21:59I'm just curious.
22:00Are you always this much fun when you're stressed or is it the drugs?
22:03He's got a lot on his plate.
22:04He does, but I've never seen him this uptight.
22:07I don't know how you take this stuff all the time.
22:08I feel like garbage.
22:09Bet you're getting lots of work done.
22:11Yeah, I've knocked over a track or two.
22:13Great.
22:13So pull your head in, finish Kobe's album,
22:15then you can get back to what you really want to do.
