13:51David Langham's daughter
13:52oh yeah hi
13:53sorry to bother you

13:55i was hoping we could meet up
13:58i need to talk to you about something
14:00is everything okay
14:03no
14:05i'm worried about my dad
14:12this is Lacey
14:17thank you so much for meeting me
14:20it's just dads at flowing moons
14:21oh he didn't know you called me
14:23exactly
14:24he had your business card and
14:26i think he wanted to ask for help
14:28he just couldn't do it
14:30okay
14:31Really sorry to put you in such a awkward position.
14:33That's okay. Just tell me what's been happening.
14:36Well, usually he's always calm, but lately he's been on edge almost all of the time.
14:41Is he eating?
14:42Not much.
14:43Sleeping?
14:44Barely.
14:45Okay, well, he has been through quite a bit.
14:47I know, but I think there's more to it than that.
14:50Why?
14:52I've seen PTSD before.
14:54My sister struggled with it after a car accident.
14:57Right.
14:58This seems familiar.
15:02He won't talk to me, but I think he will talk to you.
15:07Do you think he could try?
15:13You ready for your interview?
15:16Um, I don't think there's any point in showing up.
15:19Wait, uh, why?
15:22Well, I just got a text reminding me to bring a reference.
15:25As we both know, I don't have any.
15:27Well, I could still write you on.
15:29That is a genuine offer.
15:31Thank you, but I need a professional reference.
15:34There has to be somebody that you can ask.
15:36There's not.
15:39What about cash?
15:40Happy.
15:41I reckon I'd have more luck with the side.
15:44Okay, ask him then.
15:45But no way.
15:46I'm sure he doesn't blame you for what happened.
15:48Well, how could he not?
15:49I pulled the trigger.
15:51He would know better than anyone that it was an accident, Rich.
15:54I can't just rock up on his doorstep and ask for a favor.
15:57Especially after how bad things went last time I tried to visit him.
16:00All right.
16:02Look.
16:04Do you want a real shot at this job?
16:07Of course.
16:08Then go and see him.
16:10And you don't even have to mention the reference right away.
16:13What do you mean?
16:14I mean, just go and check in on him.
16:16See if he's okay.
16:17And then, if it feels right, ask for the reference.
16:23What have you got to lose at this point?
16:25Hmm?
16:32I was thinking of adding the scrapbook to the box.
16:38They're going to want to remember this one day, too.
16:44Hmm.
16:58Some of Abigail's ideas were better than others.
17:04Hmm.
17:07It's one Treblethane.
17:09Mm-hmm.
17:09You know, actually, that was one of my favorites.
17:17Hey.
17:19Hi.
17:19I know.
17:26But we've had so much loss already.
17:28Let's not lose our happy memories, too.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Oh, my love.
17:40Oh, my love.
17:43Oh, my love.
17:45Oh, my love.
17:45Oh, my love.
17:46Oh, my love.
17:47Oh, my love.
17:48Oh, my love.
17:48Oh, my love.
17:49Oh, my love.
18:07Sarge.
18:09I hope you don't mind me visiting.
18:13No, I rule
18:17How you doing?
18:20Fine, you?
18:23Good, um, I'm sorry I haven't dropped by sooner
18:29It's okay
18:31Heard about the commission's decision
18:33It must have been difficult for you
18:37Yeah, it wasn't surprising, but I'm okay
18:40I've been busy, looking for work
18:43Are you? How's that going for you?
18:46Yeah, yeah, I've got a good lead on one job, but I'm struggling a bit
18:49Yeah, I'm sorry, Richie
18:52Is there a reason you're here?
18:55Um, yeah, yes
18:57I mean, I wanted to see how you are, of course
18:59But I, uh, listen
19:03You don't have to, after, you know, what I did
19:07But I, um, I need a reference
19:12You what?
19:13It's okay
19:14Forget it, uh, it's a lot to ask
19:16You want me to write you a reference?
19:18You shot me
19:19You nearly killed me and left my daughters without a father
19:23I'm sorry
19:24Get out
19:24Go! Now!
19:27Yes
19:35Hi
19:37Hi
19:56Hey, what happened?
19:57Let's just say that he won't be writing me a reference
19:59I mean, that's it
20:00I'm screwed
20:00I know
20:01I won't get this or any other job without a reference
20:05Look, I know that you shut down this idea before, but maybe we're gonna
20:08I'm not asking, Josh
20:09But he could
20:09No, Abby
20:13I'm sorry, you had to see that
20:16It's okay, I don't mind
20:17Well, I do
20:26How about I finish making those?
20:39What are you doing here?
20:41House call
20:43Really?
20:46Can I ask what happened before?
20:49The guy shot me
20:50I'm allowed to be upset
20:52Of course you are
20:53Good
20:53So, can we move on?
20:55No
20:57I need to tell me what's actually going on for you
21:09I might have a little surprise up my sleeve
21:11What kind of surprise?
21:13A cabin in the mountains?
21:15That's so romantic
21:16Happy's going to love it
21:18It's really generous
21:19Archie comes home tomorrow
21:21I need to be here to see my son
21:23So you're not just dropping everything for your ex?
21:25What?
21:26No
21:26This has got nothing to do with him
21:30Oh, come on
21:31No, just come on
21:35You do what you have to
21:36But I'm out of here
