00:01 Closer each day, home in a way.
00:08 Everything was going fine.
00:09 I was taking care of Maya.
00:11 Poppy.
00:12 She was happy.
00:13 She was settled.
00:14 Then I saw myself on TV and panicked.
00:17 So I called Marley.
00:18 To ask for his help, or--
00:20 I asked him to bring me my passport.
00:23 Brought Harper instead.
00:24 You know, they really put themselves on the line for you.
00:27 If it weren't for them, I don't know where I'd be right now.
00:29 After talking to Tane, I've decided
00:32 I won't be laying charges against either of you.
00:34 That's such, such good news.
00:36 Sorry, who is this?
00:37 My lawyer.
00:38 Right, yeah, I remember.
00:39 I've set my court date.
00:40 It's in five weeks.
00:43 You're unbelievable.
00:44 Why?
00:44 Because I care about my sister?
00:46 No, because you stick in your nose where it doesn't belong.
00:48 You're so frustrating.
00:49 You're frustrating.
00:50 I admit that I was a bit of an idiot, and that you were right.
00:54 I made a mistake, all right?
00:55 And that's funny to you.
00:56 I'm coming with my heart on my sleeve.
00:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:01 Hey, here's a thought.
01:14 Why don't we hop in the car and go for a drive somewhere?
01:17 If you want.
01:17 We could take off overnight for a bit, if you want.
01:21 OK, talk to me.
01:24 Sorry, I know we haven't spent a lot of time together.
01:26 Yeah, I know you're worried about your brother.
01:29 No, my brother can go to hell.
01:30 It's my sister-in-law I'm worried about.
01:33 She'd be home from a conference by now,
01:35 so Levi's had plenty of time to confess.
01:37 Well, like you said, you might need to let
01:39 them sort it out for themselves.
01:40 Yeah, but I think that Levi's chickened out.
01:42 We don't know that.
01:43 Imogen would have called me the second that he told her,
01:45 but it's been complete radio silence.
01:47 All right, what do you want to do?
01:48 I don't know.
01:49 I just-- I can't stop thinking about it.
01:52 Will this help?
01:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:57 I think when it goes live--
01:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:02 Let's get a room, you two.
02:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:07 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

02:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:51 [DOOR OPENING]
02:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:11 Morning.
03:12 Yeah, it is.
03:16 I'll leave you two at bed.
03:18 Gee, five weeks till he has to run up to court.
03:21 It's not much time.
03:23 Kano's lawyer dropped that on him last night.
03:27 How's he feel about it?
03:28 He hasn't said a whole lot, which is never
03:31 a good time for Kano.
03:33 I'm going to grab some breakfast and head
03:34 to the gym checking on him.
03:37 That's odd.
03:38 What is?
03:40 Well, I thought that Dana worked last night,
03:43 but she doesn't have a uniform on.
03:46 Why did you think she was working?
03:48 Well, because she didn't come home.
03:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:53 Do you think she might have had a hot date?
03:56 I'm not sure.
03:58 Good morning.
03:59 Morning.
04:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:03 Don't believe it.
04:07 You're actually having a day off.
04:09 Yeah, I am, so please don't jinx it.
04:11 He is officially done with Stevie Marlow.
04:13 And so the guy they found, they're sure he's a stalker?
04:16 Yeah, the police raided his place.
04:17 They found a ton of evidence against him.
04:19 Yeah, and some scary stuff too.
04:22 Oh, sorry, was I not missing the internet for you?
04:24 Sorry.
04:25 What?
04:26 What, what, what, what?
04:27 What's she talking about?
04:29 Turns out the guy had a bit of a gun collection.
04:32 You're kidding me.
04:33 Yeah, I'm just glad you didn't use it,
04:34 or else we might be having a different conversation
04:36 right now.
04:37 Well, no conversation at all.
04:40 Oh.
04:41 He's off the streets.
04:42 He's out of Stevie's life.
04:43 That's all that matters.
04:43 So what's next?
04:45 It's going to be a bit of a come down from looking
04:46 after a movie star.
04:47 Yeah, I'm going to get in contact with the security
04:49 agency, but right now I think I'm just
04:51 happy to have a few days off.
04:52 Ugh, sounds so good.
04:54 Max is still off work.
04:56 It's flat out at salt.
04:57 Have you heard anything about Levi?
05:00 She just texted saying she's not coming in for a few days.
05:03 Does that mean she's gone away somewhere?
05:04 She didn't say.
05:06 Maybe she's just hiding out at home.
05:10 All right, I've got to go.
05:11 Yeah.
05:12 Enjoy your time off.
05:13 Will do.
05:13 See ya.
05:14 Bye.
05:15 I know you weren't very excited by our drive,
05:19 so here's the new plan.
05:21 We'll take a shower.
05:22 All together?
05:23 Of course.
05:24 And then I'm going to buy you lunch.
05:26 Oh.
05:26 Well, that doesn't sound overly horrible.
05:29 OK, well, here's the deal.
05:31 You're not allowed to talk about your brother at all.
05:33 Not one bit.
05:34 So no guys, are we?
05:36 Hm?
05:36 [LAUGHS]
05:38 Hey.
05:43 How are you holding up?
05:46 I've got a kidnapping charge hanging out of my head,
05:48 but apart from that, I'm great.
05:51 Sorry, there's a lot going on.
05:52 Nah, I get it.
05:54 I wouldn't take it personally.
05:56 He was like that with me this morning.
05:58 Yeah, he's just a bit stressed.
06:00 I mean, he wouldn't be.
06:01 Yeah, true.
06:02 But he seemed extra cranky today.
06:06 Huh.
06:07 Well, I hope he's OK.
06:08 You off to the surf club?
06:14 Mm.
06:15 Give my love to Tom, eh?
06:17 Will do.
06:18 I just wish there was a way I could make it easier for him.
06:21 Just be there for him, love.
06:22 It's the best you can offer.
06:25 T.Y.!
06:26 Hey, I've been trying to call you.
06:27 No, I need your help, and it's a matter of life and death.
06:29 Come on. - What happened?
06:30 Are you OK?
06:31 Not even slightly.
06:32 OK.
06:33 Oh, no.
06:34 Um--
06:37 What are you doing?
06:38 Mm.
06:39 Hey, what's going on?
06:43 I mean, how are you?
06:45 I'm looking for Dana.
06:46 Have you-- have you seen her?
06:48 Not this morning.
06:50 I was up super early, so I missed her.
06:53 Is there a message I can pass on?
06:55 No.
06:56 Doesn't matter.
06:57 Yeah?
07:01 You can get up now.
07:02 He's gone.
07:03 So tell me, would that have anything to do
07:08 with where you spent last night?
07:11 Well, this has to be some kind of a record.
07:14 You've never gone this long without talking.
07:17 There's only one thing on my mind,
07:18 and you have banned it from the conversation.
07:19 Well, I thought that it would actually help.
07:21 Do you have any idea what it's like
07:22 to keep a secret like this?
07:23 I feel like I'm the one that's betraying Imogen.
07:25 That's not true.
07:26 None of this is your responsibility.
07:28 He loves her so much.
07:29 I just-- I can't believe what he's doing.
07:31 I know.
07:32 I know.
07:32 Hey, right.
07:33 I was just on my way to your place,
07:38 but you saved me a trip.
07:40 What are you doing here?
07:41 I checked in with the cops, and the stalker's behind bars.
07:44 Don't stress.
07:45 It's not about that.
07:46 OK, then-- then what?
07:49 Why don't we go for a drink, and I'll fill you in?
07:57 But you like Xander, so it's a good thing, isn't it?
08:00 Yes, I do like him, but it's--
08:02 it's not good, because it's actually the opposite.
08:04 It's really, really bad.
08:06 Oh, the first time with someone isn't always
08:09 the way you thought it would be.
08:10 What?
08:11 We have to get to know each other, find out what you like.
08:13 Oh, no, I'm not talking about that.
08:15 You were so embarrassing.
08:16 Well, you just said it was bad.
08:18 No, the-- the bad part was amazing.
08:20 It was, like, really great.
08:21 OK, great.
08:23 Well, why is this such a crisis, then?
08:25 It's a crisis because I'm doing what I always do.
08:27 I'm just jumping into something.
08:29 But this time it seems to be working out for you.
08:31 Are you not listening to what I'm saying?
08:33 I'm trying to, but you're not making any sense.
08:35 OK, I snuck out of there before Xander woke up.
08:39 And I've also left my phone, which I need you to get for me.
08:42 What? No.
08:43 I can't afford to buy a new one, which is the preferred choice.
08:46 You're a crazy person.
08:47 And besides, if I go to Xander and ask for your phone,
08:50 he's going to know you're avoiding him.
08:52 I think he's probably figured that out already.
08:54 Ugh.
08:55 You want me to beg?
08:55 Because I will.
08:56 I have gone to that floor today.
08:57 I will go there again.
08:58 You're a big girl.
08:59 Find a way to figure it out yourself.
09:01 No.
09:01 Are you OK?
09:13 Yeah, why?
09:14 Because a Virgin Mary doesn't have alcohol in it.
09:18 Sorry.
09:20 I've been off your game all morning.
09:22 What's going on?
09:23 Nothing.
09:24 I'm fine.
09:25 Well, let's get a hurry on these drinks.
09:30 We don't want to keep our star waiting.
09:32 I can't believe she looks the exact same as she does in the movies.
09:35 What were you expecting?
09:36 I don't know.
09:37 I thought it was all like makeup and filters and stuff.
09:40 Well, it's not.
09:41 It comes with a lot of attitude, so let's not give her anything to complain about.
09:45 All right, here we go.
09:51 Hey.
09:51 This is for you.
09:52 Look, can I just say you were amazing in Death Row.
09:57 Thank you.
09:57 I mean, that scene where the shadow like creeps behind you.
10:00 Oh, I fan girl that show.
10:01 I had nightmares for days.
10:03 Oh, well, then mission accomplished.
10:05 Do you want to ask him to stop taking photos and move them or?
10:08 Yeah, it's fine.
10:10 You get used to it.
10:11 Of course, yeah.
10:12 All right, well, let me know if there's anything else you need.
10:14 Thanks, man.
10:14 Thanks.
10:15 So, where were we?
10:20 Oh, that's right.
10:21 Have you got any new gigs lined up?
10:24 Actually, I'm going to take a couple of days off.
10:26 Last client was pretty demanding.
10:27 Sounds like it was interesting work, though.
10:29 Well, if by interesting you mean hard, then yes.
10:32 So here's the thing.
10:34 I want you to stay on as my personal security.
10:36 Oh, right, eh?
10:38 I'm serious.
10:40 Your stalker's in remand and he's going to stay there until the trial, right?
10:43 Yeah, but I still need someone on my team.
10:46 And I want that person to be you.
10:51 Hey, John, have you seen Tana at all today?
10:53 Yeah, he was taking a class down on the beach.
10:55 OK, catch him later, then.
10:57 Be careful, though. He's likely to bite your head off.
11:00 Thanks for the heads up.
11:02 Hey.
11:03 Let me guess, you're checking up on me.
11:06 There are times in your life when it's good to lean on your friends.
11:10 This is one of them.
11:11 How's that going to change anything?
11:13 It might make the load feel a little bit lighter.
11:16 You're not going to prison, I am.
11:18 Talking's not going to make any difference.
11:21 I don't know why you didn't ask him yourself, darling.
11:25 We're standing right in front of you.
11:27 Well, not really in front of you.
11:28 I mean, you were hiding on the floor.
11:30 Mm-hm, OK. Yeah.
11:32 This is a very small favour and I will owe you so much.
11:35 (SIGHS) All right. I suppose I can do it.
11:38 Yes, angel. But I'm going to have to ring him first.
11:40 No, why? Why would you call him?
11:42 He's at work and you'll be bothering him.
11:43 And, you know, he's really not going to mind
11:45 since you guys are such good friends.
11:47 Dana, you don't just waltz into someone's house without notice.
11:50 Don't! Don't!
11:52 Call him, please.
11:54 What is going on?
11:56 Nothing.
11:57 Didn't look like nothing this morning
11:59 when you dived behind my cabinet.
12:01 I don't wish to discuss that.
12:02 Well, I do.
12:04 What's happened between you and Xander?
12:06 Whoa! What? Wait.
12:08 There's a you and Xander?
12:10 This I gotta hear.
12:12 (MUSIC PLAYS)
12:14 (MUSIC CONTINUES)
12:16 (MUSIC CONTINUES)
12:18 (MUSIC CONTINUES)
12:20 So, what are you thinking?
12:23 The vegan Stevie really doesn't like hearing the word 'no'.
12:26 (LAUGHS)
12:27 Yeah, but you knew that already.
12:29 Yeah. Yeah, I did.
12:31 I thought this job was over.
12:34 It's kind of cool that she wants you to work for her again, isn't it?
12:37 Yeah, sure. Sure, still, there's...
12:40 ...a bit of a... Yeah.
12:42 Yeah, there is. She was a handful.
12:44 Hmm. Understatement.
12:46 But it was interesting work.
12:49 Better than walking around an empty mole at night or...
12:52 ...being unemployed. OK. Hang on.
12:54 She's asked you to come out here and convince me, hasn't she?
12:56 No. No. She just said she hoped you'd think about it.
13:00 You're tempted, aren't you?
13:04 A bit.
13:06 So, why are you hesitating?
13:09 You saved her, and that made you feel good.
13:12 There is nothing wrong with that.
13:14 Would Julie be OK with it?
13:17 I mean, I would love to have you all to myself.
13:22 But if you want the job, you should take it.
13:27 It's a good opportunity, and...
13:31 ...Stevie is right.
13:33 She's never gonna find anyone better than you.
13:37 [MUSIC]
13:39 [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
13:45 Oh, it's my pleasure. Go talk to her.
13:55 I'll wait. Thank you so much.
13:57 I'm excited to see you all here.
13:59 OK. All right. That's enough for today.
14:01 Thank you so much. It was lovely to meet you all.
14:03 I'll see you next time. Bye.
14:06 So, we've already talked numbers.
14:09 You don't give up, do you?
14:10 Not until I get my way. You should know that by now.
14:12 You drove me up the wall 90% of the time that we were working together.
14:15 You know that, right?
14:16 Yes. Which is why you'll be paid exceptionally well for your time.
14:19 Well, I wouldn't be doing it for the money.
14:21 Yeah. And the sickening thing is I know that you mean that.
14:23 But if you're looking after me, then I'm gonna do the same for you.
14:33 I can't take the job, Stevie. I'm sorry.
14:36 OK.
14:38 Oh, come on. You've tried this before. You know how it ends.
14:41 No, no, no. Not this time. Not this time.
14:43 Eden's got some stuff going on. I need to be here for her.
14:46 Yeah, but that's why I need you on board. Because you're so rock-solid dependable.
14:49 Different circumstances, I'd probably jump at the opportunity.
14:52 But right now, I can't.
14:55 OK.
14:59 She's a lucky girl.
15:02 Lucky girl.
15:04 All right. But this isn't goodbye. This is just see you later.
15:09 You know, just in case those different circumstances ever come up.
15:13 Bye, Stevie.
15:15 Bye.
15:18 Bye.
15:19 See you.
15:21 What?
15:24 I told her I couldn't take the job.
15:28 Why?
15:29 It's not what I want to do right now.
15:32 Are you sure?
15:34 Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.
15:36 I don't understand. I thought you liked Xander.
15:46 You know how they say doing the same thing over and over again
15:52 and expecting a different result is the definition of infinity?
15:55 Yeah.
15:57 Well, that is what this is.
16:00 I still don't get it.
16:02 Xander made it very clear that he just wanted to be friends.
16:06 And then the next thing I know, we're in bed together.
16:09 And now I'm just here telling you guys about it.
16:12 I don't actually know what's wrong with me.
16:14 Bub, calm down.
16:16 Clearly, something has changed between the two of you.
16:19 No. See, it's just me making the same mistakes over and over again.
16:25 I never think about what I'm doing, and then I just mess everything up.
16:28 Darl, Xander isn't Ollie.
16:31 Well, we were fighting, Irene, and I went to his house because we were fighting.
16:36 And now it's just horribly awkward.
16:39 It takes two to tango.
16:41 So if you're feeling confused, there's every chance Xander is too.
16:45 He's got a point. Maybe you're panicking over nothing.
16:49 So, you gonna talk to him?
16:53 Oh, absolutely, 100%. Not. No.
16:57 Did you manage to catch up with Dana?
17:03 Not yet.
17:05 You sure there's nothing you want me to pass on when I see her next?
17:09 No, thanks. I think I can handle it.
17:12 I'm gonna take a break now. You all good here?
17:14 I'm good.
17:16 Are you gonna get in touch with her now, then?
17:21 Because you seem keen.
17:24 You know, don't you?
17:26 It's not like she was gossiping or anything.
17:28 She left her phone at your place,
17:30 and she's too scared to ask you about getting it back.
17:33 Right.
17:35 Thanks for the heads up.
17:37 Hey, can I talk to you?
17:41 About?
17:43 Tane.
17:45 I saw him earlier, and he seemed really... stressed.
17:50 He got his court date. It's in five weeks.
17:54 Wow.
17:56 That's soon.
17:58 Tane, wait. I was just coming to see you.
18:02 I've got back-to-back classes.
18:04 Well, can we catch up after, then?
18:06 Why?
18:07 I heard about your court date. I thought we could grab something to eat.
18:10 I know what you're trying to do, OK? I don't need your pity.
18:13 That's not what I'm offering.
18:16 Surely after everything we've been through, I'm allowed to offer you some support?
18:20 Thanks, but...
18:22 Look, I've told you. I'm not your problem anymore.
18:26 Hello. Anyone home?
18:44 Hi.
18:46 I'm not breaking in. Door's unlocked.
18:51 I'm not breaking in. Door's unlocked.
18:54 Can I help you?
19:16 No.
19:18 For the record, I don't consider you a problem.
19:28 And no matter what happens, I will always care about you.
19:35 That's a...
19:38 And I will keep pestering you until you talk to me.
19:44 You know I will.
19:46 I suppose it's one thing I do know for sure.
19:53 Talk to me.
19:58 Tell me, how are you dealing with it all?
20:07 I try my best not to think about it.
20:10 How's that working out for you?
20:12 Mostly it's not.
20:14 I'm a little over-sensitive.
20:21 I show remorse, I might get a lighter sentence.
20:25 Well, then that's what you're gonna do?
20:29 Whenever it takes?
20:30 But I don't regret it.
20:32 That's the thing.
20:34 Which means I'm going to prison.
20:36 Probably for a long time.
20:38 Nothing's a done deal yet.
20:42 You have to hang on to hope.
20:45 You can't just resign yourself to this.
20:49 I'm scared, Felicity.
20:52 I'm really scared.
21:09 You okay?
21:11 No, not really. Imogen was due back from the conference today.
21:14 Have I told her?
21:15 Well, that's just it. I don't know anything.
21:17 Hey.
21:19 Hey, how are you?
21:21 Imogen's not back yet.
21:22 You're not having second thoughts or anything, are you?
21:24 How am I gonna break this to her?
21:26 Who even are you?
21:27 I thought that you were my friend.
21:29 You have ruined my sister-in-law's life.
21:31 You are a homewrecker.
21:32 There's something we should talk about.
21:34 Absolutely.
