00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:06You do know that Tana's flying back today?
00:10Oh, trust me, I know.
00:11I thought you wanted to talk.
00:12Why, so you can tell me how much of a great time you had in Japan?
00:15I rearranged my whole life to go on this trip with you guys.
00:17Missing it was your choice.
00:19Yeah, and bailing on your son for two weeks, that was your choice.
00:22That is not fair.
00:23Just get out.
00:24You know, I just want you guys to get along, right?
00:25Yeah, I do.
00:26And we will, we just have to talk it out in a calm and...
00:30Friendly way, without Archie around.
00:32I was hoping maybe you could babysit.
00:34Oh, love, that would be my pleasure.
00:41Papa!
00:44Where is your mother?
00:50I wanted to apologise for being rude to you yesterday.
00:54Exactly when did we discuss putting Archie in daycare?
00:57Never.
00:57That's when.
01:00I'd say you hated it, obviously.
01:11Oh, 100%, it was terrible.
01:14You seen me out there?
01:15Yeah, nice cutback on that last week.
01:17Cutback?
01:18Do you know what that means?
01:20I had someone to say to the workshop the other day.
01:22Yeah, so you're picking up on a lingo, I like that.
01:23I like seeing you out there, doing your thing.
01:26Yeah?
01:27Mm-hmm.
01:30Could this day get any better?
01:32Mm-hmm.
01:34Oh.
01:37Oh, yes, it could.
01:39I just got to buy her for the car.
01:41Oh, finally.
01:42Yeah.
01:43This dude wants to pay cash as well.
01:45Who is that much in cash?
01:47I guess, as long as he buys her car.
01:48True.
01:49If you want to see the back of it, we'll put this whole nightmare behind us.
01:53Yeah.
01:55Yes.
01:56Yay.
02:00Papa, wait.
02:01Come on, I just want to talk.
02:03It sounded more like you wanted to have a go at me.
02:04Look, it was just a shock, all right?
02:05What, you're back at work, Archie's in daycare?
02:07I had no idea.
02:08I was going to discuss it with you.
02:10Yeah, but you didn't.
02:11And last I checked, we're both parenting, Archie.
02:12How was your parenting going while you were living it up in Japan?
02:15Come on, now, that is not fair.
02:16No, what's not fair is you leaving me here to figure it out on my own.
02:19Well, figure what out?
02:20We never discussed you going back to work.
02:22You know I would have taken it.
02:22I couldn't discuss it with you because you weren't here.
02:25You're making it sound like I abandoned you.
02:26That's exactly what you did.
02:28Oh, I'm sorry, okay?
02:30But it shouldn't matter what's happening with us.
02:31We need to be making these kinds of decisions together.
02:33Yeah, I agree, but it's really hard.
02:34What, we can barely be in the same room as each other?
02:37You're right.
02:38We need to sort this out, okay?
02:40For Archie's sake.
02:42Yeah.
02:42So how about we just go back upstairs?
02:45Unless you need to get back to him.
02:46No, he's with Irene.
02:55Irene!
02:56I'm here.
02:58Are you home?
03:00Hey, keep your voice down, will you?
03:02I just got the baby off to sleep.
03:04Sorry, sorry.
03:05I got your text.
03:06I came as quickly as I could.
03:08Hey.
03:09Is everything okay?
03:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11I was just, you know, hoping for a little bit of company while I babysit.
03:19I need you to come to the house now.
03:21That sounds a little urgent to me.
03:24John, I just need you to stay here until Harper gets back.
03:29Can you do that?
03:30Why?
03:30John, can you do it or not?
03:32Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
03:34I'm not going anywhere.
03:35Okay.
03:35Okay.
03:36Okay.
03:36Okay.
03:37Okay.
03:37Okay.
03:37Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:39Okay.
03:39Okay.
03:40Okay.
03:40Okay.
03:41Cheers.
03:41Thanks, mate.
03:44Hey.
03:45Hi.
03:46It's you.
03:47Yes.
03:48It's me.
03:49Tarnay, isn't it?
03:51Yeah.
03:52I don't remember giving you my name.
03:54Oh, my dad filled me in.
03:55Oh.
03:56I'm Joe, by the way.
03:58Right.
03:59Cool.
04:00Now, have you had any more car troubles, Joe?
04:02No, thankfully.
04:03No, thankfully.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Well, I must have done a pretty decent repair job for an unlicensed family.
04:10Yeah.
04:10I never had a chance to say thank you for that.
04:14It's all good.
04:16Anyway, I better go.
04:17There she is.
04:35How are you feeling about your big day?
04:37Well, even more nervous now that you're calling it my big day.
04:41Don't be nervous.
04:42You got this.
04:43How many times do you think you said that to me?
04:45Oh, I don't know.
04:46Maybe three, four hundred.
04:48Give or take a few.
04:49That sounds about right.
04:50You were right.
04:53It was a mistake for me to go to Japan on my own.
04:57I just, I wish we could have stuck to the original plan.
05:01I told you on the phone why we couldn't come.
05:04Yeah, I get it.
05:08No, you don't get it.
05:13I wish that I didn't feel the way that I feel.
05:16And I have tried to bury my feelings many times.
05:20I know.
05:21And I'm sorry you're hurting.
05:24It's the last thing I want.
05:27But nothing has changed.
05:31I knew that.
05:34I guess I just needed the humiliation of being rejected all over again.
05:40Like you getting on a plane without me wasn't a clear enough signal that
05:44this is never going to happen.
05:50It won't happen.
06:00I have to go.
06:01I haven't heard a peep out of the little man.
06:13Oh, he'll let us know when he wakes up.
06:16Don't you worry about that.
06:17He's got a set of lungs on him.
06:18Look, why don't you take a seat and tell me why I'm actually here?
06:23Like I told you, I just needed the company.
06:26Irene, please.
06:27I better check and see there's a bottle in the fridge because I'm telling you, if he wakes
06:31up and there isn't a feed, he will scream blue murder.
06:35You were obviously upset about something.
06:38Enough to send me an SOS.
06:39Well, I'm sorry about that.
06:41But I'm fine now.
06:42So, rumour has it your new nurse is starting today.
06:50Hey, don't start.
06:52Look, I'm just saying it could have been me.
06:54And then I wouldn't need a tour because I already know this place over the back of my
06:56hand.
06:56Please tell me you're not going to make life difficult for Jo.
06:59I'm not.
07:00I tried to apologise.
07:01She just didn't accept it.
07:03She's kind of rude.
07:04But you know what?
07:04It's not my problem.
07:07Jo, hi.
07:08Dr. Fowler.
07:11Levi's fine, by the way.
07:12Dr. Levi it is.
07:13You already know my name.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Hi, Dana.
07:17Hi, Jo.
07:18Great timing, by the way, actually.
07:20Dana was just saying how much she'd love to show you around.
07:23Really?
07:24Yeah.
07:25I'm about to take my break, but I'll see you upstairs later.
07:28Absolutely.
07:31So, let's just get this over with.
07:34Okay.
07:35Go sort out your locker.
07:38Hey, I can make you another one if you like.
07:45No, I've got some things I need to go and do.
07:47Oh, five more minutes won't kill you.
07:49Nope.
07:49I'm off.
07:49Jo, please don't go.
07:51Please.
07:52Stay.
07:53Okay.
07:55Either you tell me what's going on here, or I'm gone.
07:59Now, what's it going to be?
08:03Hey, hey, hey, come on.
08:04It's all right.
08:04It's all right.
08:04It's all right.
08:05You can talk to me.
08:06You can tell me anything.
08:08I forgot I was babysitting.
08:13What do you mean?
08:15I was out the door, and I heard Archie crying, and thank God I did.
08:20Otherwise, I would have just kept going.
08:22John, what is going on with me?
08:24The important thing is you didn't go.
08:26Yeah, but what if I did?
08:27And what if Harper came home and found him by himself?
08:29What would I say to her?
08:31How would I explain it?
08:33No point going over what ifs.
08:38Hey.
08:40How's everything?
08:44Uh, I don't really know how to answer that.
08:48Oh dear, that doesn't sound very good.
08:49Don't worry.
08:52That's not your problem.
08:54Thank you for looking after Archie again.
08:58Very lucky to have you.
08:59Oh, I wish I'd been there.
09:20Well, it's a big moment.
09:21Yeah, I know, but...
09:23Having your auntie cheering from the beach isn't a good look, right?
09:26Hey, you said it, not me.
09:29Done and done.
09:31You sold the car?
09:32Yep.
09:33Full asking for us, baby.
09:34Oh.
09:34Are you serious?
09:36Leaving that the cold hard cash to prove it.
09:38Look at that.
09:38Uh, Theo, you shouldn't be walking around with that much money.
09:41Now relax.
09:42I'm heading straight to the bank after this.
09:43To pay off that personal loan, I hope.
09:45Yes.
09:47I'm going to have five grand left over.
09:49Every day.
09:49Yeah, we've got to celebrate.
09:51After you go to the bank.
09:52Yes, okay.
09:54I haven't seen that kind of cash in a while.
09:56I don't know the look.
09:57Yeah.
09:58What can I get you?
09:59Uh, just a black coffee.
10:00Mm-hmm.
10:00Thanks.
10:04In my defence, I didn't know that the whole daycare thing was a secret.
10:07No, it wasn't.
10:08I just hadn't gotten around to telling Connor yet.
10:10Yeah, but still, I'm sorry if I made things harder for you.
10:13Mm, it's fine, John.
10:15To be honest, it's the least of my problems.
10:18Mm.
10:18Love, is there anything that we can do?
10:21No, thank you.
10:23I think I just need to figure out how to move on with my life.
10:29I should check on Archie.
10:31Okay, I'll see you later.
10:32Right, well, I might head to work.
10:38What, now?
10:40Well, I'm rusted on.
10:42Given what's just happened, I think the last thing you should be doing is working.
10:46Well, that's too bad.
10:48I know you don't want to hear this, but your memory loss could be caused by a brain injury or a stroke.
10:53You think I don't know that?
10:55Then call in sick and go and see your GP.
10:58I'll come with you.
10:58No, John, you can't keep burying your head in the sand.
11:03To forget about a date with me is one thing.
11:05That's forgettable.
11:06But forget you had a baby in your head.
11:07Look, I will deal with this in my own way.
11:11All right?
11:12But in the meantime, I am going to work.
11:15Fine.
11:17Then I'm coming with you.
11:18Fine.
11:19Fine.
11:19Okay, so that's probably everything.
11:47Oh, one last thing.
11:50If you are going to survive here, biscuit delivery.
11:54Ours is Tuesday.
11:55I don't know about Levi's unit, but if you would like, I could stash some away for you.
12:00Thanks.
12:01I know you said that we don't need to be friends, and we don't, but you are new, and this is a really small town, so who doesn't need a new friend?
12:10That's a good point.
12:12I mean, I'm actually really awesome.
12:13You can ask anybody.
12:14And super humble, too, I see.
12:16Yeah.
12:18What have we got?
12:19Male, mid-twenties.
12:20What problems?
12:21Victim of assault.
12:22Theo?
12:23Can you hear me?
12:24You're in Northern District's hospital.
12:26Okay, let's get him to resource, too.
12:27Sound, semi-conscious, airway intact, GCS 13.
12:31Mumbled something about getting mugged.
12:33What are you doing here?
12:35I got called in on this case.
12:36Right, well, you should probably know.
12:38That guy is Lacey's boyfriend.
12:40Lacey, hi.
12:48Hey.
12:49Are you okay?
12:50It's Theo.
12:50He's in hospital.
12:51What?
12:51What happened?
12:52He was mugged.
12:52I'm hitting there now.
12:53Let's go.
12:56Theo, buddy.
12:57We've got to stop meeting like this.
12:59Tell me about it.
13:05Has he been booked in for his CT?
13:07I'll get on it.
13:07Oh, no.
13:08Already done it.
13:09When we're finished here, that's where we're heading.
13:11Oh.
13:11Sorry.
13:12It's okay.
13:13You're lucky it wasn't any worse.
13:14Lucky?
13:15I lost $25,000.
13:17We'll find out who's responsible, but first I need to ask you some questions.
13:22Yeah, fine by me.
13:23Let's start with the $25,000.
13:26Theo.
13:28All right.
13:28All right?
13:29Hey, I'm here.
13:32I can't believe I lost all the money.
13:34Who cares?
13:35As long as you're safe.
13:36Sorry, guys.
13:37We actually have to take Theo for a scan now.
13:39Okay.
13:40I'll come with you.
13:41Oh, you can't.
13:42I'm really sorry.
13:43We're going to take really good care of him.
13:45Just take a sip back, sir.
13:54Leah.
13:55David, hi.
13:56How are you connected to all this?
13:58Uh, Theo's one of you.
14:00Really?
14:01You never mentioned he was dating, but...
14:03Dad, just leave it.
14:05So, are you here to find out who did this to him?
14:08I'll certainly do my best.
14:12I wish you would reach out.
14:19I'm about to close up, John, so you can probably head off.
14:28Happy to walk you home.
14:30I'm perfectly fine.
14:32Irene.
14:33Don't Irene me.
14:35You've been watching me like a hawk.
14:37Well, we both know there's a very good reason for that, don't we?
14:40I am fine, honestly.
14:42Are you really going to argue with me after what happened this morning?
14:45All right, I will make a flippant appointment for the GP, okay?
14:50Good.
14:51Good.
14:52Look, I know you're scared, but you don't have to be.
14:55You've got me.
14:57Whether I like it or not.
15:03Thank you for finally listening to me.
15:06Perfect timing.
15:08You can walk Irene home.
15:09Oh, well, I'd love to.
15:11I didn't realise Irene needed walking home.
15:14She doesn't.
15:15Ignoring.
15:15Ignoring.
15:15Theo should be back by now.
15:26Why is it taking so long?
15:27Theo's a hold up with the CT scan.
15:29Any news?
15:30Why are you still here?
15:32I'm here to interview Theo.
15:34Okay, I'm not buying it.
15:36I think you're here because you know that Theo is my boyfriend.
15:38You want to stick your nose in every part of my life.
15:40Lacey, I knew you had a boyfriend, but I didn't know it was him until I got here.
15:44I really hope he's okay.
15:47Theo.
15:50Hey.
15:51Good news.
15:52The CT scan came back clear.
15:54Any time?
15:55There were some abnormalities when he first came in, but they've stabilised now.
15:59So is he going to be okay?
16:00Well, he's lucky.
16:02But because he suffered a loss of consciousness, along with this pre-existing injury, we're
16:07going to keep him here overnight.
16:09I want to keep a close eye on his blood pressure, so can you just check regularly?
16:13Yeah, I'll start with Ali Albs, if that's cool.
16:15Yeah, that's perfect.
16:18So, when's a good time to question about the assault?
16:22Maybe tomorrow, when he's had a chance to rest.
16:24Fair enough.
16:25So you can go now?
16:26Thank you for coming over.
16:35Oh, thanks for messaging me.
16:37I wasn't sure if...
16:38If you'd ever hear from me again?
16:40Yeah.
16:43Yeah.
16:44Um...
16:45Sorry about this morning.
16:48It's been a long two weeks.
16:49Yeah, I know.
16:50And I'm sorry for leaving you to look after Archie on your own.
16:55I appreciate that.
16:57But we don't need to go over that anymore.
17:00Let's just figure out how things are going to work moving forward, because we can't keep
17:06doing this.
17:06Yeah.
17:07Okay.
17:09So, from now on, you have your life.
17:12I have mine.
17:14And when it comes to Archie, we just make those decisions together.
17:18I'd like that.
17:20Well, in the interest of our very new normal, should we talk about daycare?
17:26Sounds like a good place to start.
17:36Okay, perfect.
17:37Things seem to be tracking really nicely.
17:40Blood pressure's looking good.
17:44I feel fine.
17:45I've just got a sore head.
17:46Well, that's to be expected.
17:48Now a good time?
17:49Yeah, he's all yours, Dad.
17:51Thanks.
17:52How's your slate?
17:54Not bad.
17:55Did you recognise your attacker at all?
17:58No.
17:59I was walking, and then you tried to grab my backpack.
18:02I turned around, and then you knocked me out.
18:05I know that you've been in some trouble recently.
18:08What's that supposed to mean?
18:09Babe, it's cool.
18:12He's not a river boy.
18:13That's what you're getting at.
18:14So you didn't notice any tattoos?
18:16Okay.
18:16Yeah, no, we're not doing this.
18:18You need to find someone else to take a statement.
18:20Why don't you two take this outside?
18:24I'll just be a minute.
18:25Okay, you need to back off.
18:30Why don't you stop making this about you and let Dad do his job?
18:33I'm not trying to make this difficult for you, Lacey.
18:35I'm just doing my job.
18:37Okay, well, it's a conflict of interest.
18:39I'll call your superintendent to tell him.
18:40Oh, go on then.
18:41Do it.
18:42That's enough.
18:43Both of you.
18:45All right.
18:46I'll leave.
18:47Dad, no.
18:47You can't let him get away with this.
18:49That's fine.
18:58So reach out when you need a hand.
19:03Reach out.
19:07Hey, Leah.
19:08Hi.
19:10Everything all right with Theo?
19:12Oh, look, he's still really upset about the robbery,
19:14but he's doing well.
19:15Good to hear it.
19:17I have to admit, I was a little shocked that you left earlier.
19:20Well, I've appointed another very capable officer
19:23to handle your nephew's case.
19:26I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my connection with Lacey Sooner.
19:30I get it.
19:31It's complicated.
19:35I'm guessing she told you the whole story.
19:37Yeah, I believe she did.
19:41I'm glad she's got people like you to talk to.
19:44I know you and her have issues,
19:46but do you think she should be deciding
19:48who's investigating Theo's case?
19:50No, she shouldn't,
19:51but I've learned from years of experience
19:53that if Lacey's itching for a fight,
19:55it's best to walk away.
19:58The case needs to be properly investigated,
20:00and this isn't helping,
20:01so I need to step back,
20:03let someone else take over.
20:05I just don't understand who he thinks he is.
20:07He's asking you those loaded questions
20:08like he's some kind of criminal.
20:10It's not like he was off base.
20:12I did spend a lot of time with the River Boys.
20:14Yeah, but that's not the point.
20:15Babe, he's just doing his job.
20:17No, don't be fooled by the nice guy act.
20:23Ah, here we go.
20:24Can't take a hint.
20:26Get a grip, Lacey.
20:27I'm working.
20:28Guys, can we not do this?
20:29You know, when I saw Theo came in,
20:31I was actually really worried about you,
20:33and Dad was only trying to find out
20:34who did this to him,
20:35but you're too stupid and selfish to realize.
20:37Whatever.
20:39You can go now.
20:41He's my patient.
20:42I'm not going anywhere.
20:43You can leave.
20:44Not happening.
20:45Lacey, you're causing a scene.
20:47One call to hospital security is all it takes.
20:49Is that a threat?
20:50Consider it a warning,
20:52first and final.
20:52Oh, here we go.
20:54Total power tripper.
20:55Lacey, I mean it.
20:56Shut your mouth or you can leave.
20:58Hey, hey.
20:59What is going on in here?
21:09All right, Theo.
21:11Ready to answer some questions?
21:12Now, I've been over Sarger's notes,
21:13and from what I understand,
21:14you don't believe that this is River Boy related?
21:16Surely it's a set-up, right?
21:17You don't just get handed 25K
21:19and get mugged straight after.
21:21What are you doing?
21:21I posted a fake car sale on the side to Theo's.
21:23Lacey.
21:24Yeah, yeah, but check out this guy.
21:25He doesn't ask any questions,
21:27and he offers straight cash.
21:28Come on, let's go.
21:29Your dad would literally kill me
21:30if anything happened to you.
21:31Well, then you better come along
21:32and make sure nothing does.
