00:00Closer each day
00:04Home and away
00:08Mark, what's happened?
00:10Abby must have forgotten that I was here.
00:13Coming back to work was too soon.
00:15Sorry, I didn't mean it.
00:16I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.
00:18I'm Amelia, I'm a doctor.
00:20You've been shot, okay?
00:21But I'm gonna take good care of you.
00:22David?
00:24My card.
00:25In case you need anything.
00:27The Commission has decided to terminate your employment with the police force.
00:30I can't be a cop anymore.
00:32Okay, so what's the plan?
00:36Plan?
00:37Yeah, what's next for Richie Breslin?
00:40Yeah, security work isn't a bad idea.
00:42Maybe I'll reach out.
00:44You know, seeing as we might be sticking around,
00:47maybe we could give it another go.
00:49You know, between us, I mean.
00:52It's not that I don't want to.
00:54I just, I don't think I'm good for anyone right now.
01:21Hey!
01:24Hey!
01:25Hey!
01:26Hey!
01:26Amen!
01:27I've been looking for you.
01:29Well, you should have warned me there'd be a dress code.
01:31This is my fresh from a job interview look.
01:33You know, they say dress for the job you want.
01:36Figured out what that is yet?
01:37Honestly, just about anything at this point.
01:41So I'm guessing the interview was a bust then, huh?
01:43Yeah, but I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple other places, so fingers crossed.
01:48Yeah, I will too.
01:50Look, I'm really sorry about how things ended between us.
01:56Especially the last time we spoke.
01:58But you're still my best friend here.
02:01I'm just hanging out with you.
02:04Yeah, I just don't really know what to do with that.
02:08I'm heading to Salt to drown my job interview sorrows.
02:12Care to join me?
02:13My shout.
02:22You want me to take this?
02:23No.
02:24You shouldn't have taught you.
02:25Levi, I'm keeping it.
02:33Hey, it's good to see you out of the house.
02:35Remember what?
02:36Uh, I'll grab a table.
02:39How could you be so thoughtless?
02:41What?
02:41You left your scrapbook in the storeroom.
02:44Mackenzie just found it.
02:46I didn't know it was in there.
02:47You didn't think to have one last look to make sure nothing was left yet?
02:50Levi, stop it.
02:52I'm so sorry.
02:53It's okay.
02:55Can you take me home?
02:57I'm really sorry.
02:58I didn't mean to.
02:59I should...
03:27I said get away.
03:28Hey, stop!
03:29Calm down.
03:36Dad!
03:37Hey, darling.
03:39Don't, darling, me.
03:40You're in trouble.
03:41What have I done?
03:42Something trying to call you.
03:44Oh.
03:46I still left my phone inside.
03:48After the hard time you gave me about giving it back to you, I've been worried about you.
03:53Now you know how I've felt your entire life.
03:59Sorry, I didn't mean to worry.
04:01So you're okay?
04:02Yeah, yeah.
04:03I'm fine.
04:04Sneeze you both here.
04:06How about a cuppa?
04:08Sorry, mate.
04:08I've got to keep moving.
04:09Lee's expecting me.
04:11Lace?
04:11Yeah, sure.
04:12But you stay here.
04:13I'm going to go get it.
04:13I can boil the kettle.
04:15So can I?
04:15Don't move.
04:16See you, Lace.
04:20Lace.
04:21You're being looked after.
04:22And, yeah.
04:24I just wish you wouldn't worry about me so much.
04:31All right, what your brother said is still really bothering you, isn't it?
04:37I just really didn't mean for that to happen, you know?
04:41Yeah.
04:42I would literally rather talk about anything else right now, so...
04:45Okay, okay.
04:47Did you know that Australian Shepherds aren't even from Australia?
04:51Sorry, what?
04:52Yeah, they're American.
04:53Go figure.
04:55Oh, I'm more of a golden retriever girl myself.
04:57Mm, yeah?
04:58Yeah, must be why I like you so much.
05:03Anyway, how...
05:04How is the job search going?
05:06Mm, humbling.
05:08Yeah, it turns out I'm not really qualified to do anything except be a cop.
05:12Well, what did you do before the academy?
05:13School.
05:15Right, okay, so no other experience?
05:18My CV is blank.
05:19No references, except if you count mowing the neighbour's lawn, and the first thing employers
05:23ask is, so why'd you leave the police force?
05:26Yeah, not ideal.
05:27Yeah, no, it's nice.
05:29Okay, well, how about I help you pad out your CV, then?
05:32You...
05:34You mean I?
05:35Yeah, well...
05:37I mean, everyone stretches the truth on those things.
05:39I don't.
05:40Okay.
05:42Well, then I can write you a reference.
05:45You know, Richie Bresniak is an honest, caring individual.
05:48He always gives 100%.
05:49And has been banned from the only job he's ever really wanted.
05:55I'm...
05:55I'm sorry, Abby.
05:57Hi, are you sorry?
05:58No, I'm doing this again.
06:00I mean, I'm just...
06:00I'm dumping my problems on you.
06:03Oh, but you're my friend, right?
06:05You know, I want to support you.
06:11You know, for that, you deserve another treat.
06:14Same again?
06:15Yeah.
06:23Sometimes Abby just cannot see beyond herself.
06:26How many times do I have to say it wasn't her fault?
06:28If she just stopped and thought for a second...
06:30If a scrapbook can tip me over the edge that easily, babe,
06:34clearly I wasn't ready to go back to work.
06:36But you were doing that.
06:36Abigail did nothing wrong.
06:38You have to let it go, please.
06:42Okay, I'm sorry.
06:43Okay, come to bed.
06:56If you're not ready to go back to work,
06:58neither am I.
07:19Stop!
07:25Dad?
07:30Dad!
07:31Jack, are you okay?
07:32I'm fine.
07:33What happened?
07:34I broke a glass, that's all.
07:36I'll help you clean it up.
07:37No, just stand back.
07:39There's broken glass everywhere.
07:41I'll be careful.
07:41No, it's my fault.
07:43I'll clean it up.
08:01Dad, it's okay.
08:05I can do this.
08:09Sorry.
08:10I can do this.
08:40Well, as long as it's not another year of free coffee.
08:43Yeah, I agree.
08:44Nearly sent us broke last time.
08:46Well, how about a nice dinner for two?
08:48Or we can donate some food for the event.
08:51That sounds great.
08:52Just talk to John.
08:53Morning.
08:54Coffee?
08:55Yes, please.
08:55A latte.
08:57How's your date?
08:58Well, he says he's fine.
09:00But you don't think so?
09:02He thinks I can't tell, but I know he's hiding something.
09:05That's what parents do.
09:06They protect their kids.
09:08But I'm not a kid anymore.
09:10Believe me.
09:11To him, you are.
09:15I shouldn't have had a go at you yesterday.
09:17I'm sorry.
09:18No, it's okay.
09:19I'm still mad at myself about it.
09:21Well, don't be.
09:22It's not your fault that Mac found the scrapbook.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Well, if I hadn't made it in the first place,
09:27they'd have not been fine.
09:28I'm trying to apologise.
09:30Can you just accept it?
09:33Okay.
09:36How are you, anyway?
09:38Yeah, I'm good.
09:39It was nice to see you and Richie hanging out yesterday.
09:43Yeah, we're just friends now.
09:44What happened?
09:46It's a long story.
09:48I'll fill you in later.
09:49Hi.
09:50Hey.
09:51Yes, what?
09:52Uh, you got a job.
09:54Close.
09:55I got an interview.
09:56It's a cellar.
09:57That's great.
09:58Yeah, it's for a bouncer at this nightclub in Yabby Creek.
10:01I can totally see you doing that.
10:03Right?
10:03And if I squint, it's almost like being a cop.
10:07Definitely cop-adjacent.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Dr. Fowler?
10:12Yeah.
10:13Ah, Levi.
10:13You must be Dr. Carla.
10:15Yeah, Amelia.
10:16Lovely to meet you.
10:17Yeah, it's nice to put a face to the name.
10:18Same.
10:19Same.
10:19Please, sit down.
10:20Please.
10:25So, you enjoying your time in Summer Bay?
10:27So far.
10:29It's great to hear.
10:31I actually have a favour to ask.
10:36That you might be out there
10:38Thinking the same thing
10:45Is it too much to ask you if you'd hurry up?
10:49You should be here
10:50You should be here now
10:52Is it too much to ask you if you'd take this love?
10:56You should be here
10:58You should be here now
11:00I've got a party heart
11:02I'm just waiting in the dark
11:04I'm just waiting in the dark
11:04For you to sparkle through that door
11:09What are you waiting for?
11:12What are you waiting for?
11:12I thought you'd be here by now
11:15You should be here
11:29Is it too much to ask you if you'd hurry up?
11:34You should be here, you should be here now
11:37Is it too much to ask you if you'd take this long?
11:41You should be here, you should be here now
11:45I've got a party heart that's waiting in the dark
11:49For you to sparkle through that door
11:53What are you waiting for?
12:04Hey, Dad.
12:07Hey.
12:09What's a morning tea?
12:10Oh, great.
12:15Hey, do you mind going in and grabbing some plates?
12:18Yep, great.
12:21Oh, could you also put the kettle on as well?
12:24Yeah.
12:48My partner recently had a miscarriage.
12:50Oh, I'm sorry.
12:54She's just not quite ready to go back to work yet.
12:56And frankly, neither am I.
12:58That's understandable.
13:00So how long do you want me to cover for?
13:01Are we talking weeks or months?
13:03I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
13:04Can I get you anything?
13:05Oh, a flat white.
13:06Yeah, sure.
13:07Great.
13:08The usual for you?
13:09Yeah.
13:10Amelia, this is my sister Abigail.
13:12Oh, yes.
13:13We chatted the other night.
13:14I didn't realise you two were related.
13:15Oh, he doesn't usually like to advertise it.
13:17Abby, we're actually in the middle of a work meeting, so...
13:20Oh.
13:20Yes, sir.
13:21Dr. Fowler, so I'll get your copies to your stats, sir.
13:27Sorry about that.
13:28I swear, a small town does have its advantages.
13:31You don't have to sell me on it.
13:32I like it here and I'm happy to stay.
13:35Okay.
13:36I will let Adbin know that I'm extending my leave and that you're happy to cover for me.
13:39Sounds good.
13:43Oh, sorry.
13:44This could be a...
13:44About a patient.
13:45You can get it.
13:47Amelia speaking.
13:48Hello.
13:49Hi, Dr. Carlisle.
13:51This is Lacey.
13:52David Langham's daughter.
13:53Oh, yeah.
13:53Hi.
13:53Sorry to bother you.
13:54Don't be.
13:55It's fine.
13:56I 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.
14:16Lacey.
14:17Hi.
14:18Thank you so much for meeting me.
14:20It's just dad's at foreign news.
14:22Oh, he didn't know you called me.
14:23Exactly.
14:24He has your business card and I 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.
14:34Just tell me what's been happening.
14:36Well, usually he's always calm.
14:38But lately he's been on edge almost all of the time.
14:41Is he eating?
14:42Not much.
14:43Sleeping?
14:44Barely.
14:45Okay.
14:45Well, he has been through quite a bit.
14:47I know, but I think there's more to it than that.
14:51Why?
14:52I've seen PTSD before.
14:55My sister struggled with it after a car accident.
14:57Right.
14:58But this seems familiar.
15:02He won't talk to me, but I think he will talk to you.
15:06Do you think he could try?
15:13You ready for your interview?
15:15Um, 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 Asajj.
15:44Okay, ask him then.
15:45What?
15:45No 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.
16:01All 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?
16:24Hmm?
16:32I was thinking of adding the scrapbook to the box.
16:38They're going to want to remember this one day, too.
16:58Some of Abigail's ideas were better than others.
17:06Tell him, Treblethane.
17:08Mm-hmm.
17:09You know, actually, that was one of my favorites.
17:11You know, actually, that was one of my favorites.
17:15You know, actually, that was one of my favorites.
17:27Let's not lose our happy memories, too.
17:34You're home, my love.
17:39You're home, my love.
18:09Sarge, I hope you don't mind me visiting.
18:12No.
18:14No.
18:14I rule.
18:17How you doing?
18:19Fine.
18:21You?
18:22Yeah.
18:23Good.
18:24Um, I'm sorry I haven't dropped by sooner.
18:29It's okay.
18:30Heard about the commission's decision.
18:34Yeah.
18:35It must have been difficult for you.
18:37Yeah.
18:38It wasn't surprising, but I'm okay.
18:40I've been busy looking for work.
18:43Are you?
18:44Hmm.
18:44How's that going for you?
18:45Yeah.
18:46Yeah.
18:46I've got a good lead on one job, but I'm struggling a bit.
18:49Yeah.
18:50I'm sorry, Richie.
18:52Is there a reason you're here?
18:55Um, yeah.
18:56Yes.
18:57I mean, I wanted to see how you are, of course, but I, uh...
19:02Listen.
19:03Listen.
19:03You don't have to, after, you know, what I did, but I, um...
19:10I need a reference.
19:12You what?
19:13It's okay.
19:14Forget it.
19:15Uh, 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!
19:25I just...
19:25Go!
19:26Now!
19:35Hi.
19:38Hi.
19:56Hey, what happened?
19:57Let's just say that he won't be writing me a reference.
19:59I mean, that's it.
20:00Sorry.
20:00I'm screwed.
20:01Hey, no!
20:01I won't get this or any other job without a reference.
20:05Look, I know that we shut down this idea before, but maybe we're gonna...
20:08I'm not asking, Josh.
20:09But he could...
20:09No!
20:10Abby!
20:13I'm sorry, you had to see that.
20:16It's okay, I don't mind.
20:17Well, I know that we shut down this idea before, but maybe we're gonna...
20:18I do.
20:25How 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.
20:54So can we move on?
20:55No.
20:57I want you 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?
21:13Kevin in the mountains?
21:15Oh, that's so romantic.
21:17Happy's going all over it.
21:18It's really generous for Archie 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? No.
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, but I'm out of here.
