00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and the way
00:06There's something I need to tell you
00:09No there isn't
00:10We're not a part of each other's lives
00:11What do you not understand about that dad?
00:13What are you doing with that?
00:14I sold the house
00:15I accepted an offer this morning
00:17I collected some things I thought you might want
00:20Found the pointe shoes at the bottom of the suitcase
00:22They were the best present you ever got me
00:24I'll never forget the look on your face
00:26When we took you to the dance shop to choose them
00:28That was Joe, you took Joe to the shop
00:30I'm sorry Lacey, I got confused
00:33I'm never going to make that mistake again
00:34I don't want anything to do with him or his fake memories
00:37It looks like we're dealing with a pretty nasty case of tonsillitis
00:41Have you been asking for his mum again?
00:42No, not since last night
00:44It means that you're a nuts man
00:45I'm proud of you love, you're doing a great job
00:48That means a lot
00:48Because I was thinking that I might like to talk to the department about adopting him
00:52I'm sorry Rui, it just worries me
00:55He should be making friends and playing footy and learning how to swim
00:58We could help him have that
00:59But hang on a minute
01:01You know what, I'm doing it Dad, I'm doing it
01:03Don't know what to say
01:05Don't know what to say
01:16Don't know what to say
01:19When you talk about yourself like that
01:22All right on you boys, now knees bent, keep it low, watch your center of gravity, now
01:51pop-ups, go, yeah good Josh, good power, keep it going guys, all right keep the pop-ups going
02:01while I chat to the boss, hey, what the most professional one, yeah well since when were
02:08you a stickler for the rules, although you were president of your school council, babe come on
02:14how long is this going to go on for, why don't you just talk to me about why you're upset, because I
02:19don't want to talk about the suitcase, can you just leave it alone, hey there's a holiday away from
02:25the garage going, mate I'm doing real work, unlike you, I haven't seen you carve it up out there like
02:30that for a while, oh yeah, just aggressively clear in my head, listen there's going to be some changes
02:36happening, Leah is buying Irene out of the diner, really, wait why is she selling, well you know
02:43Irene just feels like it's time to step away, time for a new chapter, just like that, the past is in
02:49the past I guess, what, like she's found out her dad sold the family home, oh and she's reacting, exactly like that
03:02maybe I just have too much time on my hands now that Tana's taking Archie more, too much time alone
03:07to get locked in your own hair day, yeah, the news about Irene's diagnosis has certainly put my own
03:13life into perspective, don't worry darling it won't always be like this, you'll meet someone
03:17and you've got to fall in love, that's truth Marilyn that's not what we're talking about here, well she
03:22will, that's not really on the agenda for me right now, well it's not easy, oh Cohen's been released
03:32from hospital, Ru's taking him home right now, oh that's good news, what are you up there, I think
03:39I've folded all the washing, so there's probably a wall I can stare at, that's it, you're coming home
03:44with me to say good day to Cohen, he'd love to see you, yeah he will, what are you looking for, I feel like
03:52I left somebody at the hospital, oh we brought the most important thing back with us, you're talking
03:58about me right, hey mate, it's good to see you back from the hospital, I hope you don't mind a surprise
04:04visit from me, does that mean you found someone who remembers Nana, ah no sorry mate, I didn't
04:09find anything, I've just come to see you, oh that's all right, your visits from me were good too, I really
04:14did try and I will keep trying I promise, thank you, that's okay why don't you take your bag upstairs
04:19unpack it, I'll bring a plate of this up all right, all right, thank you, all right, listen I'm
04:27I'm really glad you dropped by, I was going to ask you if you could write me a reference and
04:31before you say anything dead, I have not changed my mind, if you'd just draw breath for one minute
04:36I'd tell you that I'm coming round to the idea, but really, yeah, sorry a reference, for Cohen,
04:43I want to adopt him, I thought the plan was to keep looking for his biological family, yeah it was
04:49and where are they, he needs a home now, okay fix my face, no more meltdowns I promise, sure you're okay,
04:59yeah yeah let's just forget about it, did you find us a new hotel, uh no no they're actually all
05:03booked out, okay I guess I'll just do a little staycation, should you do drinks, stash this
05:08somewhere, are you sure you don't want to talk about why you're upset, no I hate talking, you're actually
05:14you love talking more than me, I feel like you don't know me at all, ah no look I'm just sad about
05:19Irene and I'm allowed to be sad, yeah of course you seem very sad, seems like she's maybe more than your
05:25landlady, well yeah I mean she's more than just like a person I transfer rent to, she's important
05:30to me, anyway just because we're not at a hotel doesn't mean that I can't have a porter so
05:37carry that Jeeves, yes ma'am
05:43Lily, how's the car going, the other night at dinner you said it was giving you grief, nah yeah I've got to
05:50get on to that, I tell you what, why don't you swing me the keys later and I'll take a look at it for
05:55you, yeah thanks mate, you sure, oh yeah, sounds like you've got enough on your plate, heard about the
06:01house sale, I was going to say congrats but it feels a little bit more complicated than that, complicated
06:07doesn't even scratch the surface, see you mate, uh how is she, no she's fine, you don't sound too
06:15certain, I just think the house sales knocked her around a bit, you know the suitcase, the stuff in
06:23it that was meant to help that, well I think it did, first, it's weird, she was sharing all these
06:31memories and she was happy and then the next minute she throws it in the cupboard and doesn't want to
06:35talk about it, carry the list for your next class, well Lacey, oh no no you didn't need to do that, oh
06:49that's all right, couldn't keep my hands busy without Archie around, how's young Black, oh he's good, he's
06:54doing his favourite thing in the world, he's reading, so adoption, yeah are you surprised, yeah I am a
06:59little, well we know that Cohen needs permanent care, sure I just didn't think he would jump straight to
07:04adoption, I want to give him a safe and loving environment, I know how life-changing that could
07:09be for him, hey what's Cohen said about it, I haven't told him yet, well that's a bit cut before the horse
07:14isn't it, well I was a bit busy in hospital dad, but I wanted to check with you the best way to bring it
07:18up with him, yeah of course, but we can't start the paperwork without Cohen's approval, it could get
07:23really messy if it's not what he wants, well I'm sure the boy will say yes, I mean anybody can see how much
07:28he likes Ru, yeah it's not always that simple, well am I seriously not allowed to talk to him, no you're
07:34not and I made that clear you're supposed to have my back, I do, but hey I can't just pretend like
07:39your dad doesn't exist, yeah well I can, why is it so hard for you, well because, Dana, hey do you
07:46expect a little bit of loyalty from your boyfriend, well I feel like that's a trick question, well my
07:50dad's been all up in my business and instead of supporting me he has been playing besties with him,
07:55thoughts, you have a dad that wants to be there for you, yes but I don't want him to be, see the problem,
08:03not really, sounds like maybe you're the problem because you can't appreciate what you have
08:17don't
08:18okay so we've got drinks, we're going to do pool, what else are we going to do on the staycation?
08:29oh well maybe we can talk about what that was downstairs?
08:32oh well Lacey, me giving my opinion and her not liking it
08:36or the fact that you said that Irene's more than a landlady?
08:39yeah what's wrong with that?
08:40nothing, just you know you seem a little touchy when it comes to parental figures, just wondering why?
08:45listen Freud, I think we can leave the serious stuff today
08:50okay, can we?
08:52yes, you're free of responsibility, don't need to do the DMs, you can just be a party guy
08:59I'm not just here for a good time, Dana, I care about you, if there's something bothering you,
09:03you know, I want to know
09:04um, I, I, okay, I've been thinking about my parents, I guess, and the weird childhood they gave me and my sister
09:13weird how?
09:14um, they were drug addicts and alcoholics, and I guess probably still are, maybe, whoever, wherever they are
09:22um, yeah, they just came with unique experiences, like police driving you home from school because
09:30no one would ever pick you up, or water bottle being filled with just anything other than water
09:36no, that's, I mean those ones aren't even the good ones
09:39one time there was a Christmas where there was an OD instead of presents, and that was very memorable
09:45you don't need to do that
09:46do what?
09:47the feeling sorry for me part, truly, I, it messed me up, I've done some work, and I'm actually, I'm okay
09:55yeah
09:57that makes sense, having Irene around must feel pretty different
10:01yeah, yeah
10:03she is definitely the closest thing I've ever had to what I imagine a real mother would have been like
10:13I just think it's very hard for me to think about losing her
10:17some kids don't always react well to the idea of being adopted
10:29even when their own mother doesn't want them
10:31why, it's not always logical, he might hear the word adoption and feel like he's been taken away from her
10:37with the utmost respect he's already been taken away
10:40feelings are complex especially when it comes to kids
10:42so what if I ask him, he says yes, he gets excited and then my application gets rejected
10:47can you imagine how upset he'd be?
10:49yeah, it's a risk
10:50yeah, but it's an important one, Cohen spent weeks feeling like everything's out of his control
10:55this is something you can give him
10:56right, so, so if he says yes, are you happy to write the reference?
11:00yeah, absolutely, as long as it's what Cohen wants
11:03hello
11:04hey
11:05oh, hi
11:05hi
11:06I hope you're all hungry
11:08I'm starving actually
11:09good, good, because I'm going to make a really nice dinner
11:11I thought Cohen deserved it after being so unwell
11:13that's the truth
11:14have you got enough there to feed a small army?
11:16oh yes, well, I did go slightly overboard
11:18but you know what, we all like leftovers
11:21well, I'm going to get going
11:22yeah, you make sure you bring young Archie around next time, mate
11:25yeah, will do
11:25let me know how you go
11:27I will, thank you
11:28and be prepared for anything because no matter what he decides, he'll need our support
11:32yeah, of course
11:33thanks, Arthur, see you soon
11:34great minds, eh?
11:39a few thanks, mate
11:40this is standard routine, Arthur, see
11:43ah, not standard
11:45it's preferred
11:48so, uh
11:50what's the plan now?
11:51you're sold up, you're looking to buy again?
11:53nah, no rush on that front
11:54I'm just happy to have some bunch of money in my account for once
11:58mmm
11:58you've got to do something with that, don't you?
12:01like, blow it all on some big 18 month cruise or something?
12:06that'd be the perfect way to honour my late wife
12:11sorry, mate
12:13it's alright, it's alright
12:14I've got some ideas, what I want to do with it
12:17sure your daughters have got some thoughts on how to spend it as well?
12:19not exactly a round table discussion
12:24daughters, eh?
12:26yeah, mine has
12:28me wrapped around her little finger
12:31Ava
12:33lives with her mum
12:34how old is she?
12:3518
12:36which makes it even harder to get her on the phone
12:41but you keep trying
12:43do whatever you can to make sure they're happy and healthy
12:48that's the job, isn't it?
12:50yeah
12:56ready?
12:56as I'll ever be
12:59Lacey, can we talk, please?
13:01you don't want to have a private conversation with my boyfriend instead?
13:04no, with you
13:06well, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of Theo as well
13:09when you probably already have
