00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and away
00:06What?
00:10This can't be right.
00:12I was thinking I could take over the accounts
00:14and then that way you don't even have to worry about it.
00:16I really don't need you to do that for me.
00:18Abigail offered to give me a hand at the shop.
00:20So, that's good about her.
00:22It won't be when she goes to the accounts.
00:24Why?
00:26Because there's no money.
00:27What do you mean there's no money?
00:28I meant what I said, the bank account is empty.
00:30Molly trusted me with the shop while he was gone
00:32and within two weeks the place was basically bankrupt.
00:34The blood work and the scans all came back clear.
00:37The lumbar puncture, however, was a bit of a different story.
00:40Love, please, for God's sake, just spit it out.
00:43It indicated a potential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
00:51Nothing's for certain.
00:54I think she's right.
00:56Oh, John.
00:58I am so scared.
01:00Oh, incoming.
01:02Well, you can take the whole plate if it'll help you feel better about what happened or what happened.
01:17No amount of bacon is going to make me feel better about that.
01:20So, you overheard something about your boss that you weren't supposed to.
01:25Is it really that big a deal?
01:27It is when you added to the fact that I cried during my interview.
01:30Oh, and Lacey and I had a screaming match during my first shift.
01:34Talk about a bumpy start.
01:36Teething issues.
01:37Dr. Fowler obviously knows your value and he needs to hold on to good staff.
01:43You're doing him a favour working there.
01:45Remember that.
01:46How do you feel about your juniors at the station?
01:49I think it depends on my mood.
01:51You'd be a nightmare to work for.
02:03All good?
02:04No, my colleague wants to go over Carlin's case.
02:07You'll have to have a day off, Dad.
02:09You know that.
02:10Look, I know you don't have a life, but the only way you're going to fix it is by getting out there.
02:14Hey!
02:17Sorry!
02:22It's all good.
02:24So, next thing's happened?
02:28You're making quite the impression on this town.
02:30Why, shut up.
02:32Am I missing something here?
02:34Don't worry, he has a girlfriend.
02:37Good.
02:38Well, if you're insistent on walking me to work, I'm going to need you to keep your trap shut, alright?
02:48I don't want anyone knowing about this.
02:50Well, you can trust me.
02:52And I'm only going to say this once.
02:54Are you sure that you want to keep working?
02:56Yes, yes, yes, John.
02:57I want to work, alright?
03:01Give it a rest.
03:03I need to keep my mind busy.
03:05I was up half the night wondering about all the what ifs.
03:10Yeah, I know.
03:11Yeah, there's a ton of websites out there.
03:13The hard part is just sorting out what's useful and what's not.
03:17Were you up late researching too?
03:20I mean, we're blessed to have all this information out of our fingers, but at the same time...
03:25I know, it's flippin' terrifying.
03:28Well, Bree's promised to pull some strings to fast-track your appointment with the neurologist,
03:31so at least them will know.
03:33And there might be a perfectly reasonable explanation for all this.
03:36And the Alzheimer's thing might be way off the mark.
03:39Yeah.
03:40I really don't think that denial is a healthy option for either of us.
03:46And you know, I can't help thinking that I might have brought this on myself.
03:52How do you figure that?
03:54Well, I read somewhere last night that drinking can cause this kind of thing.
03:58Yeah, I read that too, but we don't know if that's the cause here.
04:02We don't even have confirmation that it is Alzheimer's.
04:05Still, it can't have helped.
04:09I really haven't looked after myself.
04:14Come on.
04:15Okay, laptop is not here, which means Abby still has it. This isn't good.
04:23Do you want me to be here when you talk to her?
04:25No, no, no. It's okay. This isn't your problem. I've got to deal with it myself.
04:29Okay, well, I don't want to alarm you, but she is on her way right now.
04:34Okay, you've got to go. I've got this.
04:36Yeah, you do.
04:37For you, peace offering.
04:44Oh, thanks. You didn't need to do that.
04:47I know.
04:49So, how are you finding it here?
04:51Yeah, fine.
04:53Hmm.
04:55It's a funny story on how you got the job.
04:57Lying to Marley about your experience.
04:58I mean, that would have rung alarm bells for most people.
05:01Oh.
05:03You know, don't you?
05:04Why didn't you tell me that the water was in the rack?
05:09As much as I loved that resort and the swimming pool, I don't think that the manager would welcome us back.
05:15We might get special treatment.
05:17I vote we stay somewhere new.
05:19Ah, new's good for me.
05:21Hey. How'd you go yesterday?
05:24Um, what with...
05:26Helping John out. He couldn't get out of here fast enough.
05:28Ah, she was a lifesaver.
05:29I needed a hand putting up some shelves.
05:31Oh, I could have helped you out with that, mate. Next time.
05:33Alright, look, I'm gonna go and get things sorted at the garage if I want to clear up the next few days.
05:38Bye.
05:40Bye.
05:41Um, I do have a favour to ask.
05:42Yeah, ask Guayla.
05:44Justin and I are thinking about going away for a few days.
05:46Oh, sounds nice.
05:48Aren't the base beach just beautiful enough for you?
05:50It's just a little getaway, but we're thinking about going tomorrow if you don't mind looking after things here.
05:56Talk about short notice.
05:58Well, I think it's terrific that you're being spontaneous, love.
06:03With all the curveballs that life throws at you, you should grab every opportunity that you can.
06:09Now, thanks Irene. What would I do with Abe?
06:10Mm-hmm.
06:15Come on.
06:19Dana, just try taking him out of the prime.
06:22Okay, I'll see you after my meeting.
06:23Thanks, bye.
06:25Well, I had to pay the sunscreen supplier, plus the rent.
06:28Okay, still, there should have been enough in the account to process those orders.
06:31Yeah, there was, but then there was this random direct debit.
06:34I need to call Mom.
06:35No, no, no, no, no, please don't.
06:36He deserves to know what is going on with this business.
06:38Please don't say anything.
06:40You really want to hassle him when he's got so much going on with his family?
06:44Come on, smart. We can fix this without bothering him.
06:47Plus, I really, really, really need this job.
06:56Hey, thanks for meeting me.
06:58I could have met you at the PlayStation.
06:59Oh, that's not necessary.
07:00Uh, it's his day off.
07:02Oh, sorry, I didn't realise.
07:04Cohen's case is a priority whether I'm on the clock or not.
07:08And please excuse my daughter, Jo, who sees Harper.
07:12You're Dana's sister!
07:14So nice to finally meet you!
07:15Yeah, likewise.
07:16I'll order some coffees.
07:18How do you know Dana?
07:19We just started working together at the hospital.
07:21She's a lot of fun.
07:23Yeah, she's fun. She can be dramatic.
07:25Yeah, I've noticed.
07:26Funny, she said the same thing about you the day that I met her.
07:29Oh, why doesn't that surprise me?
07:31Sisters trashing sisters.
07:32Hmm.
07:33Well, my dad thinks you're great.
07:34And, uh, I think your boyfriend helped me with my car the other day?
07:38Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend.
07:40Aren't you with the guy who owns the gym?
07:42Yeah, he's not my boyfriend.
07:47Oh.
07:53I just think you should think carefully about running the diner on your own.
07:57I won't be. We have staff.
07:59But you'll be responsible.
08:01I'm perfectly capable, John.
08:03Not from where I stand.
08:05I'm sorry, Irene.
08:06I just really worry about you taking on too much right now.
08:10I'll have Maz there, all right?
08:13Also, it's the diner.
08:15I can do it standing on my head.
08:18Things have changed.
08:20You need to start looking after yourself, not taking on more responsibility.
08:24Miss Brie, she's been able to fast track my appointment with the neurologist.
08:38It's tomorrow.
08:41Well, I guess I'm going to have to tell Leah she's going to change her plans after all.
08:50I'll be right there beside you.
08:54I'll do my best to up sales.
08:58We get heaps of foot traffic.
09:00We can use that to our advantage.
09:01So whenever I see anyone coming down from Seoul,
09:04I'll just encourage them to check out the merch.
09:06Great. Well, it's a nice strategy, but we're actually going to need people to buy the merch,
09:10not just look at it.
09:11Look, I may not be an expert in accounts, but I can certainly be a persuasive sales agent.
09:17Hmm.
09:18Okay. Well, meanwhile, I'm going to call Molly.
09:21And say what?
09:22Don't worry, I'm not going to mention anything about the accounts.
09:24I really don't want to stress him out.
09:25I'm just going to ask if he'd be happy for us to take board orders.
09:27Okay.
09:32Guess you won't be trying that new strategy just yet.
09:34Next person, definitely.
09:36Yeah.
09:40Hey, I just wanted to say sorry about the juice earlier.
09:43Nice dress. Already forgotten.
09:45I wanted to catch you and offered to pay for your dry cleaning.
09:49I don't dry clean my uniforms.
09:52Well, I'll wash it for you.
09:54You want to do my laundry?
09:56Surely you can think of a way I can make it up to you.
09:59Hey, sorry I banned you as a customer.
10:01We actually have a new strategy.
10:03We welcome anyone with money.
10:04Not now, Lacey.
10:05Well, here's your sunscreen.
10:06That'll be $15.
10:07See you later.
10:11Seriously? I was in the middle of a conversation.
10:13Yeah, I saw your flirt game as super stale.
10:16So, Cohen's just lost his grandmother and now he finds out that his mum doesn't want to borrow him.
10:23Poor kid's been put through the wringer.
10:25Samantha's trial's next week.
10:26We're running out of time to help him.
10:28Where are we with tracking down his family?
10:31Nowhere.
10:32The birth certificate was a dead end.
10:34Cohen gave us nothing.
10:35Feels like we've exhausted all our avenues at this point.
10:38There's got to be something that we can do.
10:41Maybe Cohen knows something about his dad.
10:45We could drop in there.
10:47See if he remembers anything.
10:48Haven't you done that already?
10:50Yeah.
10:51We might have asked him the right question.
10:53I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.
10:57My babysitter's fallen through.
10:59I'm going to have to sort this out.
11:01I understand.
11:03Give me an hour and I'll meet you at Rue's.
11:07Thanks.
11:10I found a hotel.
11:11You're going to love it.
11:12A fantastic and I didn't have to lift a finger.
11:14Really?
11:15You're not going to ask me where it is or what it's like or what the bed's like?
11:17As long as you tell me whether it's mountains or countryside.
11:20So I know what to park.
11:21Okay.
11:23All you need to know is there's champagne on the road.
11:27Oh, yes. I can't wait.
11:28Oh, so I got a head start on the orders.
11:32Marilyn called and she just wants to spend a bit of time with Cohen so she can't work tomorrow.
11:37I hope that's okay.
11:39Love, I'm really sorry. I can't cover for you now.
11:41Oh, I already booked a hotel.
11:43What happened?
11:45Something's come up and love is really a bad time and you can't come away. I'm sorry.
11:51Irene, are you alright?
11:53Irene, it's just that I need to go and see Finn.
12:01She called. She sounded really upset on the phone. She didn't say what was wrong.
12:06But I need to go and check in. It's the right thing to do.
12:09Family comes first. We can just go away another time.
12:11Yeah, when you get back we just make another plan.
12:13Okay.
12:16I do anything. Oh, anything.
12:36Three, two, one. Great work everyone. Grab a drink, take a break.
12:42Hold on.
12:45Thanks mate.
12:54Hey.
12:56Oh, finally. Now you can start your day off. What do you want to do?
13:01Sorry, sweetheart. I've got to check in on something.
13:05What happened to work-life balance? We talked about this. You know what mum would say?
13:08And she would also say you shouldn't be hanging around your dad all the time.
13:13Well, believe it or not, I actually like hanging out with you.
13:17You should go find people your own age. You should go and get out there.
13:23Mama.
13:25Hey.
13:27Theo, good to see you out of hospital.
13:29Yeah, it's good to be out. Plus I got all my money back.
13:32Thanks for your help with that, by the way.
13:35All the credit should go to Senior Constable Newman.
13:38Sure, but you did put him in the case.
13:40Look, I know it was awkward. He was laced at the hospital.
13:43But I just wanted you to know that I do appreciate you looking out for me.
13:49Both of you.
13:53Thank you for saying that.
13:55No.
13:58See you guys around.
13:59See ya.
14:00Yeah.
14:03Wow.
14:05That's impressive.
14:07Your sister's obviously got herself a good guy.
14:10I'm glad.
14:13We all deserve to be happy.
14:16Alright, let's pick up the place. Come on. With me. Ready? Let's go.
14:19You left the diner pretty quick.
14:35Yeah, I had some business to attend to.
14:40Mate.
14:42Whatever's going on, you can talk to me. I want to help.
14:46Anyone can see how much this is affecting you.
14:49Okay, whatever this is.
14:54Is it Irene?
14:56No, it's not Irene.
14:58Nothing to do with Irene.
15:00You sure? She's been acting pretty strangely as well.
15:04No, I got some bad news recently and I shared it with Irene.
15:09Looks like she's taken it on board.
15:12What happened?
15:15A good friend.
15:17Back from my Navy days has been diagnosed with cancer.
15:23I'm so sorry.
15:25Thanks.
15:28And I just hope that I'm strong enough.
15:31For them.
15:34To see this through.
15:35They're sitting in the bag.
15:37Okay, so you're cool with her taking orders even if you can't shape them now?
15:52Great.
15:54Okay.
15:55Oh, I miss you too.
15:58Bye.
16:00Did you get that?
16:02Yep.
16:03Mantra is back taking board orders.
16:04And look, I made three sales while you're out.
16:06How did you manage that?
16:08Guess people don't really know what they need until they meet me.
16:10Okay, well keep it up because taking deposits for boards is only going to bring in so much revenue.
16:14True.
16:16Surf lessons were really keeping this place afloat.
16:18Everyone does keep asking about them.
16:19Yeah, for anything you could actually surf rather than just lying about them.
16:28What?
16:29Well, you like to surf.
16:31How'd you like to be paid for it?
16:32Of course.
16:33Genius.
16:34He is our new instructor.
16:35I will get the insurance paperwork.
16:36Yeah well.
16:37Don't I get a say in this?
16:42Never mind.
16:43Anything to help you out.
16:45Alright, great work today guys.
16:47See you next class, yeah?
17:05Tane.
17:07Hi.
17:09I just wanted to ask you a question about boot camp.
17:13Oh.
17:14Shoot.
17:17What level of fitness is required?
17:21Everyone's welcome.
17:22There's no rules.
17:24Cool.
17:25I don't like rules anyway.
17:26Good to know.
17:29Something else?
17:33Okay, I'm not here to talk to you about boot camp.
17:35Um.
17:38Do you want to get a drink with me?
17:41Just to say thank you for changing my fan belt.
17:43I could have been a little more grateful.
17:45And also to apologise about this morning.
17:50I told you.
17:51Don't need to worry about it.
17:52It's all good.
17:55Okay, I'm into you.
17:58So.
18:00No pressure.
18:01But I'm going to be up at salt if you want to join me.
18:05It makes me feel so.
18:06Ooh la la la la.
18:08Ooh la la la la.
18:10Ooh.
18:20Hey, sorry I won't play you all.
18:21Is everything okay here?
18:23Everything's fine, John.
18:24The world doesn't fall apart because you're not sitting in the corner eating a muffin.
18:31I'm sorry.
18:32Justin cancelled the hotel and he got a full refund.
18:37Oh, love.
18:38That's great.
18:39That means I can go for my appointment.
18:41Appointment?
18:43Are you taking Finn to an appointment?
18:45Yes.
18:46Yeah.
18:47Oh, hope everything's okay.
18:48Give him my love.
18:50Oh, Irene, thank goodness you were here.
18:54Oh, why wouldn't I be here?
18:55I work here.
18:56Dana is supposed to have Archie, but she's been called into the hospital and I have to
19:00work.
19:01Can you babysit this afternoon?
19:03I don't think I can.
19:04I'm sorry.
19:05I know at short notice, but please, Irene, you're one of the only people that I trust.
19:08Trevor, listen to me.
19:09People need to stop asking me for favours.
19:12Alright?
19:13Look after your own flippin' kid.
19:15Harper?
19:16You okay?
19:17Yeah, I'm okay.
19:18But what was that with Irene?
19:19Oh, don't take it personally.
19:20Oh, it's impossible not to.
19:21Am I really that person asking everyone to look after their kid?
19:36No, no, that's not you.
19:37She's got a lot going on at the moment.
19:39Is she alright?
19:40Yeah, I'm doing my best to help her.
19:42John, what's going on?
19:44You just need to give her a little bit of space at the moment.
19:50I wouldn't ask her to look after Archie again.
19:53Is there anybody else you can think of who can help?
19:57Yeah, there is.
19:59I'll just pay for that one, thanks.
20:14I'm leaving already.
20:15I thought you were a no-show.
20:16Sorry, I kept you waiting.
20:17I had a few things to finish up at work before I could leave.
20:18I assumed I scared you off.
20:19No.
20:20Good.
20:21Glad.
20:22Should we order at the bar?
20:23Yeah.
20:24Yeah.
20:25So what's your poison?
20:26So what's your poison?
20:27What's your poison?
20:28What's your poison?
20:32What's your poison?
20:33What's your poison?
20:34What's your poison?
20:37What's your poison?
20:38What's your poison?
20:45What's your poison?
20:49What's your poison?
20:51What's your poison?
21:06I am so scared.
21:10So while I still got time, I'll pick flowers in my mind.
21:17I'll be dancing with the embers as they rise.
21:22The end of an era.
21:23While I got time.
21:28Do I not have any good days left?
21:30While I got time.
21:32I don't know how to say goodbye.
21:34Don't have the words.
21:36Say goodbye to a legend.
21:40Don't miss a moment of home and away.
