00:00Closer each day
00:03I'm in no way
00:07I heard what happened with Tane. You alright?
00:10Yeah, I will be when I actually talk for him.
00:12Do you mind if I wait for him at your place?
00:14Sorry, Tane's on his way to Japan.
00:16You've got to be kidding me.
00:17I've cut my maternity leave short.
00:19I start back at work tomorrow.
00:20Maybe you could slow down a little bit.
00:22I've already arranged really great daycare for Archie.
00:24And Tane's on board with this?
00:26I don't know, I haven't asked him.
00:27Can I go outside?
00:28Yeah, sure, don't go far. I'll be out there too.
00:31Bye.
00:32Bye, ma'am.
00:33He seems happy.
00:35Yeah, he really does.
00:36Yeah, maybe writing that letter to his mum really cheered him up.
00:39Even if she'll never receive it.
00:41Can we go home?
00:42Maybe there's a letter from mum.
00:44Oh, I already checked. We didn't get any mail today.
00:47I just miss her.
00:48I've clearly been having a few senior moments, that's all.
00:51I only told you so you would reassure me, not freak me out.
00:55Well, I'm sorry, but I'm worried about you.
00:58Well, don't be. I'm perfectly fine.
01:00What happened?
01:01Oh, I'm fine.
01:02I just got burnt half of the iron on.
01:04What?
01:05All day.
01:14Hey.
01:15Hey.
01:16Looks like we both had the same idea.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Hey, look, I've got a little bit of time before my shift if you want to sit down and catch up.
01:22Oh, sorry, Dana's waiting for me at home and I've got to put him down.
01:26Hey, thank you again for your help with Colin, by the way.
01:29I had fun hanging out with him.
01:31It was a nice day at work for a change.
01:33Yeah?
01:34I did notice that David was riding you pretty hard at the station.
01:37Are things any better?
01:39They are, actually.
01:41All right.
01:42Did you have something to do with that?
01:44Oh, I may have had a word or two with him.
01:46Oh, that explains why he brought me around at six back then.
01:49Anyway, I'd better get going.
01:50Don't want to keep Dana waiting?
01:51Yeah, heads up.
01:52You do know that Tanya's flying back today?
01:54Oh, trust me, I know.
01:55Let me know if I can do anything.
02:00Love, at least let me go to the chemist and get you some antiseptic cream.
02:04No, it's not that bad. Honestly, it barely hurts.
02:07Well, who the nurse?
02:09Sorry.
02:10What, for being late or for nearly burning the house down?
02:13What do you mean?
02:14You left the iron on.
02:15No, I didn't.
02:16Oh, okay, well, if it was off, then how did I burn my hand?
02:19Okay, guys, come on. What's done is done.
02:23There's no point in playing the blame cane.
02:26Yo, just me.
02:27Hey, John, what brings you here?
02:30I'm here to take you out for the dinner we missed out on.
02:33Oh, sounds lovely. Give me two minutes.
02:39That's a very striking shirt.
02:41What did you do to your hand?
02:43Oh, I seared it on the iron.
02:45Before you ask, it wasn't me.
02:46Pretty sure it was baby brain.
02:48Pretty sure it's not.
02:49Well, maybe it was Tanya brain because he's coming back today.
02:52Rack off.
02:57Definitely Tanya brain.
03:02Maybe I could write back to Cohen and pretend to be his mum.
03:07That was such a terrible idea.
03:09A terrible idea.
03:12But they do say with fostering, informed honesty is best.
03:15Yeah, I want to be honest with him, but I also don't want to leave him without any hope.
03:21You know, there is one other option.
03:23You could post a letter to his mum and hope that she writes back.
03:27Hey Cash, do you have a minute?
03:28Yeah.
03:29Hey Cash.
03:30What's that now?
03:31Oi!
03:32Check out what Rue got me.
03:33Oh yeah?
03:34That's cool.
03:35It's a really good series.
03:36Yeah?
03:37I could lend you it after if you want.
03:38Yeah, alright.
03:39I might take you up on that.
03:40I've got to go see what Rue's after.
03:41Can you hurry up and finish that book because I want to turn?
03:42Yeah.
03:43Alright, see ya.
03:44See ya.
03:45Hey, look, I was just wondering if you had the address of the prison where Cullen's mum
04:01is because he's written her a letter.
04:04Right.
04:05Does he know that his mum's given up custody?
04:08I haven't told him.
04:10So he doesn't know that he won't be getting a response?
04:12Well, we don't know that for sure.
04:14I mean, she could write back.
04:15Yeah, Harper made it sound like she was pretty clear about severing dyes.
04:20I'm just trying to do the right thing by Cullen.
04:22Yeah, yeah, I get that.
04:23The kids deserve to know the truth.
04:25No matter how hard it is for them to hear.
04:32Senior Constable.
04:33Sarge!
04:34Do you ever think we'd be crossing paths today?
04:37I'll stay back, hoping to get news on Cullen's grandmother.
04:40Did you get anything?
04:41No.
04:42I just ran into him and ruined the way here, actually.
04:44How do you think the boy's doing?
04:45The boy's doing really well, considering.
04:47Is there a problem?
04:49Well, she hasn't told him that the mother doesn't want him yet.
04:51We're just hoping that mum changes her mind before she breaks her boy's heart.
04:55It's a dangerous game.
04:57Especially since I was just notified that the court has granted her permission to relinquish
05:01custody.
05:02Now everything rests on finding other family.
05:05Then what are we waiting for, Sarge?
05:06The kid deserves to know the truth.
05:08He's going to find out regardless, sooner or later.
05:10And how do you reckon he's going to feel when he finds out everyone's been lying to him?
05:13And I'm not trying to get up on a soapbox here, Sarge.
05:15It's okay.
05:16I asked for your opinion and you gave it.
05:19And once we track down the grandmother, maybe she can break the news.
05:23It'd be easier coming from family, right?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Right.
05:27She might be able to take him in too.
05:28Yeah.
05:29I'll put in another call to the Queenbeard Station, see if they've had any luck.
05:32Yeah.
05:44You might want to chill out before he gets here.
05:46I am chill.
05:48Clearly.
05:49Just, you know, take a moment to breathe.
05:52A quick moment.
05:55Hey.
05:56Hey.
05:57Konnichiwa, Tane-san.
05:59Welcome back.
06:02How was your flight?
06:03Good, good.
06:06What have you got there?
06:07I brought gifts.
06:08Oh, for me?
06:09You shouldn't have.
06:11These are for you.
06:12Thanks.
06:13Aw, this is for Archie.
06:17Look, baby's first sushi.
06:19He's going to love that.
06:21Aw.
06:25Well, I'll let you two catch up.
06:29Leave these there.
06:35So, how was my dream holiday?
06:39The other one who stood me up.
06:42The other one who stood me up.
06:45We should probably talk about it.
06:47Well, can I go see Archie first?
06:48I just put him down.
06:50Right.
06:53You can put your head in if you want.
06:56Yeah.
06:57Thanks.
06:58Just don't wake him up.
06:59Take him up.
07:18Hey, son.
07:22I missed you.
07:23Oh, Tarnay would be at the house by now, visiting Harper and Archie.
07:34That'll be a prickly reunion.
07:36Yeah, poor things.
07:37I really hope they can work it out.
07:39And how are you?
07:41Good.
07:43I mean, here I am, surrounded by booze.
07:46Couldn't get two hoots.
07:48You know that's not what I'm asking.
07:51John, the other day was a blip.
07:54All right, can you please stop pestering me about it?
07:58So you're feeling better now?
07:59Yep.
08:00Good as gold, thank you.
08:04Who left the iron on then?
08:06Harper seems to think it wasn't her.
08:08Oh, come on.
08:10Everyone's done that once or twice.
08:12It's an easy mistake to make.
08:16You're not answering the question.
08:18Please, don't make me regret coming out to dinner with you.
08:24Save some room for dessert, all right?
08:34Thanks for that.
08:36Don't worry, I didn't wake him.
08:38Good.
08:39You can see yourself out.
08:41I'm sorry?
08:43Well, you only came to see Archie, not me.
08:45So you've seen him, you can go.
08:47Well, I thought you wanted to talk.
08:49Why, so you can tell me how much of a great time you had in Japan?
08:52No thanks.
08:54You were supposed to come with me.
08:55Yeah, and you were supposed to come back when I didn't.
08:57Not get on a plane.
08:58I rearranged my whole life to go on this trip with you guys.
09:00Missing it was your choice.
09:02Yeah, and bailing on your son for two weeks, that was your choice.
09:05No, that is not fair.
09:10I'm sorry.
09:11Just get out.
09:12No, that is not fair, no, no, no.
09:13No, it is not fair.
09:14No.
09:26No.
09:28No, no, no, no, no.
09:29It's a good time for me to go home.
09:30That I'm alive. My future, my coffee, my garden.
09:38Here we go. One burger, one Greek salad.
09:42Thank you, Marilyn. You're welcome.
09:45Could I get a chocolate milkshake too, please?
09:47Yes. Oh, coming right up. One chocolate milkshake.
09:50How good does that look?
09:52Well, we can swap if you want.
09:54No, don't be silly. I might steal a chip, though.
09:57Mum used to do that as well.
10:00You can have it if you want.
10:08Did I do something wrong?
10:10No, no. No, you didn't. No.
10:13Look, I did want to have a chat with you.
10:16You know, the letter you write your mum.
10:19I mean, you're probably wondering why you haven't heard anything.
10:22I know why. She didn't get it.
10:24What makes you say that?
10:26She would have written back by now, so it must have been lost.
10:29Look, honey, what I want to say...
10:31There's no other explanation. I can just write her another one.
10:34Oh, I don't know if that's a good idea.
10:36No, I don't want her to think I've forgotten her just because she's in prison.
10:39Here we are. One chocolate milkshake.
10:44Listen, why don't you have your dinner, okay?
10:46And then you can grab a pen and some paper and you can start on that other letter.
10:50Okay.
10:51Okay.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Righto.
10:54Thanks for letting me know.
10:55See ya.
10:56Was that Queen me in?
10:57I spoke to the neighbours.
10:59Cohen's grandmother had cancer.
11:00She passed away a few months ago.
11:01God, really?
11:02Not looking forward to breaking the news to the poor kid.
11:03I can do it.
11:04Nah, it's alright. It's my job.
11:05I'll organise to meet up with Rue in the morning.
11:06I can come along with you if you'd like.
11:07Friendly face might help soften the bloke.
11:08Thanks.
11:09I'm sure that'll mean a lot to go on.
11:23Oh, hello. They've been turned to me in the morning.
11:24I'm sure that'll mean a lot to go on.
11:29I'm sure that'll mean a lot to go on.
11:36Oh, hello. They've returned. How was dinner?
11:39It was lovely, Darl. Thank you.
11:42Well, I'm glad someone had a good night.
11:44Oh, dear. How'd the family reunion go?
11:47Much of the same.
11:50Well, you can fill me in tomorrow, love. I'm going to hit the hay.
11:53But already, I thought you'd want a cup of tea and a chat.
11:56Oh, Darl, I'm all talked out, but thank you for a lovely night.
12:00I'll see you guys tomorrow.
12:02Okay, good night.
12:03Good night.
12:09Look, just before I go...
12:11Okay.
12:12How's Irene been lately?
12:14Uh, fine. Why?
12:16She just doesn't seem to be herself. I thought you might have noticed something.
12:20No. Mind you, like, the vibe here has been kind of ick and tense,
12:25so she's probably just picking up on that.
12:27I'm going to talk to Harper about that.
12:29Yeah, okay, good. Great.
12:30Okay, good night.
12:31Good night.
12:33Good night.
12:34Night.
12:37Hey, should we, uh, crack into those chocolates Tana left?
12:42I'd rather eat dirt.
12:44Okay, well.
12:46What?
12:46Well, that's a pretty big reaction to have to chocolates, don't you think?
12:50But I guess it matches your very big reaction to Tana earlier.
12:54Well, he has a lot to answer for.
12:56Yes, but you're not 100% innocent in all of this.
13:00Excuse me?
13:02You really wanted to go to Japan, and then you abandoned him at the airport.
13:06Yeah, and you know why.
13:07Yes, I do, but also you are now at the point
13:09where you cannot even have a constructive conversation with him.
13:13Something obviously needs to change.
13:15Okay, a few weeks ago, you ripped into me for butting into your life,
13:18and now you're doing exactly the same thing.
13:20Well, it's not exactly the same thing, is it?
13:22Because this is not just about you and Tana.
13:24Your behavior is affecting the people around you, including Irene.
13:27Dana, back off!
13:29It's got nothing to do with you.
13:30Hey, hey, hey, welcome home.
13:41Good to see you.
13:45How's the trip?
13:46Uh, yeah.
13:47It's good.
13:48It's good to have you back.
13:49Yeah, I missed someone, thanks, sir.
13:52Harper?
13:53Mm.
13:54She threw me up.
13:55Yeah, can you blame her?
13:56I mean, you went on her dream holiday, and you left her alone with the baby.
13:59Well, that wasn't the plan.
14:01She bailed on me at the last minute.
14:03Yeah, but you still went, and you didn't bother to tell her,
14:06and I actually had to tell her, mate, by the way.
14:08Thanks for that.
14:09Yeah.
14:10No, I'm sorry.
14:12I was just so mad when she called me at the airport, you know?
14:15It was a thingy street.
14:16Yeah.
14:18So what happened today?
14:19Well, I went over to see Archie,
14:21and Harper and I started fighting,
14:24and she threw me up.
14:25That's not great.
14:26Mm.
14:26No, I don't want this for Archie.
14:31I don't want to be fighting with this mother.
14:33You got a plan to fix it?
14:34Hey, Coen.
14:52Hey, Cash.
14:53Hey, Sergeant.
14:54Hey, Coen.
14:54Thanks for coming.
14:55Yeah, no problem.
14:57Is mine okay?
14:58Yeah, your mum's fine.
14:59This is about your nan.
15:00Unfortunately, we just found out she passed away a few months ago.
15:07What?
15:08I'm really sorry.
15:10What happened?
15:11She had lung cancer.
15:14I've told her to stop smoking.
15:16I've told her so many times.
15:17No, I'm so sorry.
15:19I'm okay.
15:21Does mum know?
15:23I'm not sure.
15:24Could you let me call her?
15:26I don't think she'd be as sad if I'm the one to tell her.
15:28I don't know if she can take any calls yet, but I'll look into it.
15:39Hey, Coen.
15:41Want to go over to her?
15:42Tell her.
15:43Yeah, of course.
15:44Come on.
15:44Off you go.
15:46Played footy before?
15:47Like soccer?
15:48Yeah, it's kind of like soccer, but better.
15:49I don't believe it.
15:52It's not fair.
15:53No.
15:54It's not.
16:03Oh, really, really want to pull a sickie today.
16:07Oh, you're not feeling well, darling.
16:09No, I'm just humiliated.
16:12My first shift with Levi since he said I wasn't good enough to work with him.
16:15Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't put it quite like that.
16:18Well, he may as well have.
16:20If it makes you feel any better, I'm not looking forward to my day either.
16:25I'm having coffee with Tana.
16:27Hmm.
16:28Did he call you?
16:30I called him.
16:33And I am sorry that I beat your head off last night.
16:37That's okay.
16:39You know, I just want you guys to get along, right?
16:40Yeah, I do.
16:42And we will.
16:43We just have to talk it out in a calm and friendly way without our cheer around.
16:48Would you like me to drop him off at daycare for you?
16:50No, I couldn't get him in today.
16:53Actually, Irene, I was hoping maybe you could babysit.
16:56Oh, love.
16:57It would have been my pleasure.
16:59Don't you worry about a thing.
17:02We are going to have the best time, aren't we, little man?
17:06Yes, we are.
17:07All right, chase it, chase it, chase it, chase it.
17:12Go, go, go, go, go.
17:14Woo!
17:14That's a try, mate.
17:16Cone's taken a real liking to Cash.
17:18I think the feeling's mutual.
17:22So what's the next step?
17:24We'll keep searching for relatives, but chances are he may not have any more to find.
17:31Have you thought any more about telling him the truth about his mother?
17:34I know I said it was your call the other day, but things have changed.
17:41As of yesterday, Samantha formally relinquished custody of Cone.
17:45His case has been handed over to family services.
17:49He's in the middle of writing her another letter.
17:51All the more reason to tell him what's going on.
17:54Look, I understand what you're saying, OK?
17:56I do.
17:57But I think I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing, and I'm going to post his letters.
18:02Can I ask why?
18:03Well, because if Samantha reads one of these letters and she changes her mind, then I think that's worth a shot.
18:10I mean, she's giving up her son.
18:12She's making a huge mistake.
18:14Let's give her the chance to realise that.
18:17You know what I need?
18:18I really need to know where to send them.
18:23I'll get you the details.
18:25Oh, yes!
18:28Did you see me score that try?
18:30Yeah, I did.
18:30You're a natural.
18:31Ha-ha.
18:43Charlie, good to see you back.
18:45How was the land of the rising sun?
18:47Sun still rising?
18:48Yeah, no, it's a great place, you know, but it wasn't exactly the holiday I was hoping for.
18:52Oh, mate, you did what you had to do.
18:54I tell you what, I wouldn't knock back a prepaid holiday either.
18:56Yeah, I'm just glad to be back home with Archie.
18:59Yeah, I'm pretty sure Harper will appreciate the extra hands on deck now that she's back at work.
19:04What do you mean?
19:06Didn't she tell you?
19:07No, I didn't even know that was on the cards.
19:09Oh, well, it's not really a big deal these days, is it?
19:12As long as you've got daycare that's reliable.
19:13Wait, are you telling me Harper's put Archie in daycare?
19:16I should probably go check the flags.
19:33Hey.
19:35So, thanks for meeting me.
19:37Where's Archie?
19:38With Irene.
19:39After what happened last night, I figured we should talk about this stuff without him around.
19:44Right.
19:45I wanted to apologise for being rude to you yesterday.
19:49That wasn't fair.
19:50And I definitely could have communicated to you better about the holiday.
19:53But remind me, exactly when did we discuss putting Archie in daycare?
19:59Never.
20:01That's when.
20:01That's when.
20:08Papa!
20:33It's alright, darling.
20:35Green is here.
20:39Papa!
20:41And this way is your mother.
20:45Me?
