00:00Avalon's new song has just dropped and you have been publicized as the featured artist.
00:14All it does is remind me of a stupid decision.
00:16Remy, the song is not the problem. Everything around it is the problem.
00:19So can you just listen to it so we can figure out how we're going to move forward?
00:23It's not just about Avalon's song.
00:25I don't want to listen to music at all right now.
00:27I don't want to play it. I don't want anything to do with it.
00:29What about a gig for Remy and Eden? Would that be something that you'd go for?
00:33100%. I would love to have some weapons of back here.
00:35Brie, what are you doing?
00:36The man I fell in love with was a musician. That's who he was. You can't give it up.
00:40I can't help the way I feel, okay?
00:42Okay.
00:44Then let's work through it.
00:46What did she say? Can I stay with you?
00:47Well, I didn't quite say that yet, but it's looking really good. You know, you might be stuck with us after all.
00:52Yes.
00:53David, hi. Yeah, it's Rue.
00:54I got an email from the department saying that my application for adoption has been put on hold.
00:59Do you know any...
01:00Oh, I see.
01:02So what's going on?
01:03The police think they've found Cohen's father.
01:06It's been over a decade, so he could be living anywhere.
01:13Yeah, just run all the normal checks and see if you can get an address.
01:17Hey, listen up.
01:19Remy Carter and Eden Fowler are going to rock the bay.
01:23Check upstairs for details.
01:25We are back, baby.
01:26Sorry, can you say it again?
01:27Yeah, look, I'm just getting some lunch. I'll be back in the station shortly.
01:34Oh.
01:35Sorry. Just excited.
01:38Yeah, I got that.
01:40Me and my mate booked a gig upstairs. Cash probably told you I'm a muso.
01:45No, he didn't.
01:46Oh, well, um, I am. We haven't played in a while and half the band left, but it is still going to be great.
01:55You should come.
01:57Sure she moves.
01:59We'll see.
02:01You won't want to miss it.
02:02The whole town's going to be there.
02:04Woo!
02:05Did you not hear a word I just said?
02:08Okay, I am done with music.
02:10What part of that do you not get?
02:12I get it.
02:13I understand every word you've said, but music didn't create this mess.
02:17You did.
02:19Remy, I'm trying to fix this situation.
02:21How?
02:21By forcing me to perform?
02:22No, I don't mean to force you.
02:24I'm doing this for us.
02:27What? That doesn't make any sense.
02:29Okay, but then can you let me explain?
02:30Sure, go for it.
02:31You are the best.
02:33Mac told me about the gig. It's going to be great. I'm so excited.
02:36Eden, I can't do this.
02:44What's with him?
02:45Yeah, I see.
02:52Thank you for confirming that.
02:54Yep.
02:56So, what did the department have to say?
02:59David's right.
02:59That the adoption's been put on hold while the police follow this lead.
03:03It's true.
03:04They must be pretty sure this bloke's the father.
03:06What about Cohen?
03:07This throws everything up in the air again.
03:09Well, let's not go getting ahead of ourselves, eh?
03:11We don't know much about anything just yet.
03:14I'm going to go and talk to David.
03:15I want to find out why they think this guy has anything to do with Cohen.
03:19I'm ready.
03:21Oh, honey.
03:23Look, I'm so sorry.
03:24Something's come up and we might have to get your school things tomorrow.
03:27What's wrong?
03:27No, nothing's wrong.
03:28It's just, you know, something's come up and I have to sort it out.
03:31All right.
03:32Mate, you like learning to cook on the barbecue, right?
03:36Yeah.
03:37Well, you also have to learn how to clean it.
03:39How about I show you?
03:42You know, if there's time when I get back this afternoon, we can go get it then.
03:45All right.
03:46All right, now.
03:53Adrian Purcell.
03:54We haven't spoken to him yet, so it's purely speculative at this stage.
03:58But you think he might be the father?
04:00Well, I was going through Samantha's old police records when I found a bail statement
04:04from when she was a teenager with this guy's name on it.
04:07He posted bail for her?
04:09The report also mentioned she was eight months pregnant at the time.
04:12So it's definitely worth looking into.
04:14Is that a current address?
04:15Not sure, but it won't take long to find out.
04:18I'd pretty much given up trying to find Cohen's family.
04:22This throws a spanner in the works for Rue's adoption application.
04:25It does, but I had to let the department know what was going on.
04:28Did you really?
04:32Yes, Rue, I did.
04:35If you want to come through, I can explain.
04:43We were actually doing okay until Avalon's song came out.
04:47And you actually listened to it?
04:51I took half a bowl of scotch, but yeah.
04:54Oh, that's gutsy.
04:55I thought that it would help me find out or understand what Remy found with her that
05:01he didn't with me.
05:03And did it help, I mean?
05:04No.
05:06No, and now Remy's talking about giving up music altogether.
05:09He actually said that.
05:10He thinks it's what got him into this mess, so he needs to walk away.
05:14That is the girl talking.
05:16He does not mean that.
05:17You didn't hear him.
05:19He means it.
05:21I just thought a gig would be a chance to prove that he can enjoy music and that it's
05:27separate from what he did.
05:28But clearly I was wrong.
05:30Oh, right.
05:33Anyway, I better get going.
05:35I'll talk to you later.
05:36Yeah.
05:44Poor Rue.
05:45She's got her heart set on this adoption.
05:48You know, if this bloke turns out to be the father, Rue could be in a bit of strife.
05:53Well, he might not be.
05:56True.
05:57I mean, we don't know what his circumstances are.
06:00He might not be able to look after a child right now.
06:03I mean, remember when Jet's dad came back into his life?
06:06Hmm, vaguely.
06:07Well, we thought we were going to lose him, but in the end his dad thought he was better
06:11off with us.
06:13Hi, darling.
06:14Hey.
06:15Hey, mate.
06:15How's it going with the hot plate?
06:17Looks like you've been cleaning it with your face.
06:20You said you could get me a bucket of hot water?
06:22Oh, so I did.
06:24Thanks.
06:24What were you guys talking about?
06:29Oh, nothing, darling.
06:30Look what I got you.
06:31Treats from work.
06:32Now, caramel slice, chocolate brownie.
06:36What would you like?
06:37I'll just finish cleaning the barbecue.
06:39Oh, okay.
06:40Well, I'll be waiting here for you when you get back.
06:47It can't be a coincidence that this woman, who was eight months pregnant at the time,
06:52was bailed out by him.
06:54Well, that doesn't mean that he's Cohen's father.
06:56No, but it needs to be investigated.
06:59I don't understand.
07:00You knew that I was actively in the process of adopting Cohen and you were still looking.
07:04I was writing up the report when I found this.
07:07But, I mean, he's had years to be a part of Cohen's life and he hasn't.
07:11Where's he been?
07:12Rue, I'm sorry, but David is right.
07:14He needs to look into this.
07:15We're trying to give Cohen a home and you know how happy he is with us.
07:18Yeah, but of course we do.
07:20This isn't personal.
07:24Okay, so, I mean, what do I do?
07:26Like, what happens next?
07:28Well, we keep looking into this until we have the answers.
07:31I know I'm going to call it next time the barbecue needs a clean.
07:41It looks brand new.
07:42It's all part of my plan.
07:44Yeah?
07:44What plan's that, mate?
07:46Oh, when we have my adoption party, we can have another barbecue
07:49and maybe by then I'll have some new friends from school.
07:53That's lovely.
07:54And if it's okay, could I get a present for her?
07:57I can work for the money.
07:59We can sort that out later, mate.
08:01But in the meantime, why don't you climb into one of those caramel slices, eh?
08:04You've earned it.
08:05Is everything okay?
08:07Yeah.
08:07Yeah, sure.
08:09You can stop pretending for me.
08:10I get it.
08:11Get what, mate?
08:13Hi.
08:14Hi.
08:15Rue, where have you been?
08:18If you don't want me anymore, I understand.
08:20It's okay.
08:22What?
08:24No.
08:25Sweetheart.
08:26Sweetheart, no.
08:27No.
08:27You're picturing it right now.
08:41You, me, our guitars, rocking out the crowd.
08:46Oh.
08:48I know that's what you want, but it's just not going to happen, okay?
08:51Sorry.
08:52You need to do this gig.
08:54Can we not do this?
08:55No, we have to.
08:56Sorry, but we have to.
09:01Just, I can't do what Brie wants me to do.
09:07Okay.
09:08Yeah, you screwed up.
09:11Like, massively.
09:12But, Brie is still there, fighting for you.
09:22What does that say?
09:26Come on.
09:28We're going to grab a drink, and we are going to sort this out.
09:30Look, you have to believe me when I tell you that it has nothing to do with us not wanting
09:38you.
09:39We couldn't want you more.
09:40Do right.
09:41Absolutely.
09:41Yeah.
09:42So just get that idea right out of your head, okay?
09:45So why can't you adopt me then?
09:47Well, no, it's not that I can't adopt you.
09:49It's just, you know, the paperwork, there's a lot of it, and they're being very thorough,
09:55which is slowing down the process.
09:57All you need to know is that I'm 100%, I'm 1,000% committed to adopting you, okay?
10:03I'm sorry.
10:04I got it wrong.
10:05No, I'm sorry.
10:05You were worried about it.
10:08Can I go for a walk?
10:10Yes, of course you can, honey.
10:11Maybe we can go to the diner for dinner when you get back.
10:23You're such a sweet boy.
10:25Yeah.
10:26Do you think it's a good idea keeping the truth from you?
10:30Well, the police haven't confirmed anything, so...
10:34Well, give him the pedal for me.
10:46I'll see you in the morning.
10:48Thanks, darling.
10:49Yeah, night.
10:52Found him.
10:53Already?
10:54We tracked down Adrian's current address, sent some local cops around to explain the situation.
10:59How do you take it?
11:00He was cooperative from all accounts.
11:02He's agreed to come here tomorrow to talk to us.
11:05Did we tell Rue?
11:07She's finding this hard enough.
11:09Let's just keep it between us for now.
11:11At least until I talk to the bloke.
11:14Yeah.
11:15And I guess we don't even know anything about this guy.
11:18Unless there's a very good reason to keep them apart, that boy needs to be with his family.
11:22I know.
11:23I just feel really bad for Rue.
11:26Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow.
11:28Yeah, see ya.
11:32The selfish part of me wants to strap a guitar onto you because I miss performing with you.
11:38And the best friend side wants to slap you.
11:42Why does it matter to everyone whether I play this gig or not?
11:44Okay, no, I really want to slap you.
11:46Just look.
11:47If I didn't play on Avalon's album, I never would have ended up in a bed.
11:50Okay, you sure it was the music that got you there?
11:52Not your bruised ego.
11:54Look, I get it.
11:56Okay?
11:57Watching Kirby's career take off without us, I mean, that was as hard as it gets.
12:01But right now, you have a girlfriend who you hurt big time.
12:06She's doing everything she can to make sure that you don't feel left behind anymore.
12:10Do you know how lucky you are?
12:18If you care about this relationship, you owe it to Bree to give this gig a try.
12:22I just don't know whether I've got any minutes.
12:25Okay, well, how about you just say yes to the gig and then you work out how to deal with
12:28the uncomfortable feelings later?
12:30What have you got to lose?
12:31Are you hungry?
12:38I know Mrs. Stewart had you working on that barbecue for ages.
12:41I'm fine.
12:42Hey, do you want to join us for dinner?
12:43Oh, thank you, but I've ordered a takeaway.
12:46Hi, Dr. Cameron.
12:47Hey, Cohen.
12:49How are you feeling?
12:50Yeah, my throat doesn't hurt one bit.
12:52Thank you for looking after him so well in hospital.
12:54Oh, it's my pleasure.
12:55And it's great to see you out and about.
12:57You might see me around a lot more.
12:59Did you know that Rue's going to adopt me?
13:01Oh, that's fantastic.
13:04Good for you.
13:05Yeah, we're all very excited, aren't we?
13:07Listen, I'll just be a sec.
13:09Okay.
13:10Harper, has there been any word on that guy?
13:14Not as far as I know.
13:16What?
13:18Maybe he's not that keen after all.
13:31Thanks.
13:32Thanks.
13:44Hey.
13:45What are you doing here?
13:48Uh, booking the gig was a really great idea.
13:51Sorry that I couldn't say that.
13:52Look, um, I'm sorry too.
13:55I should have talked to you before bushing ahead.
13:57So where does that leave us?
13:59Do you want me to come back to cancel it?
14:01No, I'll do the gig.
14:03Really?
14:03Yeah.
14:04Maybe you were right.
14:05Maybe it is just what we need.
14:07That and Eden won't let me hear the end of it if I don't.
14:09It didn't feel great lying to Rue.
14:16Yeah, I understand.
14:17We have to play this carefully.
14:18No, you didn't see Cohen's face.
14:20He really wants this adoption to go through.
14:22And it still might.
14:23But we have to check this guy out first.
14:25You know that.
14:26Hi.
14:28I'm Adrian Purcell.
14:29I'm here about Cohen.
14:30I'm Sergeant Liam.
14:32Thanks for coming.
14:32Yeah, no worries.
14:34I'm Harper Matheson.
14:35I'm Cohen's social worker.
14:36Nice to meet you.
14:38So is he here?
14:38No, we thought it was best to talk to you before we involved him.
14:42Why did she come through?
14:45Cohen's never been able to recall having a father.
14:48So we need to take this one step at a time.
14:50Yeah, of course.
14:55So why don't we start up with you talking us through some of the history between you and Samantha?
15:01We were together for about a year and a half.
15:04What's happened to her?
15:05What makes you think something's happened?
15:07Well, if I'm involved, I'm assuming she isn't.
15:12So what ended your relationship?
15:15When Cohen was three months old, she told me she didn't want anything to do with me anymore.
15:20I mean, I wanted to keep Cohen with me, but she suddenly announces that he wasn't mine.
15:23And next thing I know, they've disappeared.
15:26That must have been tough.
15:28I was just to keep myself.
15:30I had no idea what my rights were.
15:31Never knew what happened to them until your guy showed up at my door last night.
15:34So, what do you think?
15:40Is there a chance that you could be his father?
15:44I always thought it could be, yeah.
15:45Hey, here you go.
15:54Oh, good timing.
15:55I could use a break.
15:56I told you to go easy on him.
15:57I did.
15:58It's okay, mate.
15:59She's only joking.
16:00Hey, Harper.
16:01What's going on?
16:03Uh, could you grab us a couple of serviettes from inside?
16:06Oh, yeah, sure.
16:06Thanks, mate.
16:07When did this happen?
16:11Well, do I have a choice?
16:14Yeah, right, I see.
16:16Right.
16:17So, what's going on?
16:19The guy who's claiming to be his father is at the police station and they want to do a DNA test.
16:26Truth.
16:26That was quick.
16:28Still, I suppose they've got to make sure this bloke's who he says he is.
16:31What do I tell Cohen?
16:32Well, he's got a right to know his dad might be out there.
16:35Besides, that might be good for him.
16:38Can you keep an eye on him?
16:39I'm going to check this guy out for myself.
16:41Rue, I'm not...
16:45So, what are you doing now?
16:47Do you want to grab a coffee or something?
16:49Sure.
16:49Sure, I just need a shower and change.
16:51Great.
16:51Hey, you too.
16:53This is looking positive.
16:56Yeah, we're getting there.
16:59Does that mean that the gig is still on?
17:03We're on.
17:03Okay, okay.
17:06Save your vocal cords for the big day.
17:08Okay, yes.
17:09You are right.
17:10We need to start getting to rehearsals, like, immediately.
17:13Yes, yes.
17:14We probably should.
17:15Do you mind if we range out the coffee?
17:16Of course.
17:17Have fun.
17:18All right.
17:18Okay, so, are we playing originals or are we going to stick to covers?
17:25You can do the DNA test at the local hospital, but I just need you to fill these out first.
17:30Yeah, sure.
17:36Can you excuse me?
17:44Is that him?
17:46That's Adrian, yes.
17:47So, what does he think he's going to do?
17:49Just come in here and take Cohen away with him?
17:50Can we talk about this later?
17:51I mean, because I'm in the process of adopting him.
17:54And does he know that?
17:55Yeah.
17:55Because if he doesn't, I think that you should tell him.
17:57You know, he should know that someone else is in the process of adopting.
18:02Hi.
18:03You must be the foster parent.
18:05Can you go back inside, please?
18:06I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of him.
18:09Well, no one else was here to do it, so.
18:12I'm not trying to upset you.
18:13Let's go back into the interview room, please.
18:19Come on.
18:20He's acting like he cares about Cohen.
18:22He doesn't even know him.
18:23I've barely had time to question him.
18:25And even if I had, it'd be none of your business.
18:27Well, I'm sorry.
18:28If it's got to do with Cohen, it's very much my business.
18:30Adrian and Cohen need DNA tests.
18:32Until the results are back, there's nothing to discuss.
18:35What do you mean there's nothing to discuss?
18:37This is a police matter.
18:39You are the emergency foster carer.
18:41So you do your job and let me do mine.
18:43She can't stop me from seeing him, can she?
18:58If the DNA is a match, you'll have every right to see him.
19:03Rue is just being protective.
19:05She's done a fantastic job looking after Cohen.
19:08They've formed a special bond.
19:10He's really found his feet here.
19:15He's lucky he's had someone in this corner.
19:17You said before that you're pretty sure that he could be your son.
19:21Yeah.
19:23Can I show you something?
19:32This is Cohen when he was born.
19:35It's the only photo I've got.
19:36I kept it all this time.
19:43I just want to see him.
19:48Cohen!
19:48Get a wriggle on!
19:52Can I just ask one thing?
19:53That you don't tell him what the tests are for.
19:56I'm not sure that we can keep it from him.
19:58Look, if he gets his hopes up, okay,
20:00and we find out that Adrian isn't his father,
20:02it will break his heart.
20:03I will be as discreet as I can.
20:09Where are we going?
20:11Harper's taking you out.
20:12We just have to make a quick trip to the hospital.
20:15Yeah, just to check that your tonsillitis is all cleared up?
20:19I feel fine.
20:20My throat doesn't hurt or anything.
20:22Oh, sorry.
20:23It's just something that we have to do.
20:25Do I have to go?
20:26Ah, come on, mate.
20:28It's not like you to bung on a turn.
20:29You don't have to worry.
20:30I'll be with you the whole time, okay?
20:32How about we wait in the car?
20:45Are you all right?
20:46He belongs here with us.
20:59I know how hard this is for you.
21:01Do you?
21:02What is this guy's deal?
21:03Like, where has he been?
21:04And why didn't Cohen know anything about him?
21:06Please, just give me a moment.
21:07You shouldn't be talking to him.
21:08You won't remember me, Cohen, but I remember you.
21:10No, you're scaring him and you shouldn't be talking to him.
21:13I think I'm your dad.
21:13Why don't you stay with my dad?
21:14Okay, why don't you go upstairs and read your book?
21:15I don't want to go upstairs.
21:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:17What's going on here?
21:18Please don't make me live with him.
21:20I want to stay here with Rue.
21:21I know Rue wants that too, but it's a complicated situation.
21:24Why is it complicated?
21:26Doesn't what I want matter?
21:27I know Rue wants that too, but it's a complicated situation.
