00:00It's much more than just a stick, and if you can't respect your culture, you'll get nowhere.
00:12I've got to go.
00:13Hang on.
00:14Get off my back.
00:15Listen, I'm not trying to lecture you here.
00:16Really?
00:17Because it sounds like it.
00:18Listen, family, culture, these things always help me when I'm having a hard time.
00:22I thought maybe it could help you too.
00:23If you're interested in martial arts, maybe this could be a part of it, you know?
00:27Do you have time tomorrow?
00:28Sure.
00:29I've got to go.
00:30What, are you doing a lift?
00:31No, no, it's alright.
00:32I've just got to do something for Dad.
00:33Barry.
00:34Hey.
00:35What are you doing, man?
00:36Did you sleep here?
00:37What's going on, mate?
00:38It's Dad.
00:39What about him?
00:40It's that thing he wanted me to do.
00:41He said no.
00:42Why?
00:43I didn't want to do it, alright?
00:44It was boring.
00:45Mate, you can't just run off on your dad when he asks you to do something.
00:46Now, I'm going to drive you home so you can sort it out.
00:47No, no, no, no.
00:48I'll go talk to him.
00:49It's kind of fun, all the sneaking around.
00:50How's Remy this morning?
00:51I don't know.
00:52I haven't seen him.
00:53He got up early.
00:54Maybe he's seeing someone.
00:55I'll text you.
00:56Oh, you better.
00:57You must think I'm an idiot.
00:58What?
00:59There are two mugs in the sink.
01:00And you are weirdly happy.
01:01I know exactly what's going on.
01:23How many more?
01:25Yep, keep it up.
01:27Yeah, but how many left?
01:29I lost count.
01:31My arms! That was at least 200.
01:34Sorry.
01:36It's not like you to get distracted during a session. What's up?
01:40It's nothing.
01:42Well, tell me about it over a juice. You owe me one for losing count.
01:46Morning, Alf. G'day.
01:49Catch anything good?
01:51Nah, too many flaming surfers out there.
01:56Aren't you working?
01:58Oh, I get to pick my own hours while Justin's away.
02:00Does he know that?
02:01Yeah, it's his idea. Plus, I've got everything under control.
02:04Am I boring you, mate?
02:06Stopped late last night at a gig.
02:08You should see Kirby. She is seriously hungover.
02:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get the drift.
02:17So, tell me everything.
02:20Look, I don't know what you think you know.
02:22Remy, look, okay, I'm not judging.
02:25I'm happy that you're dating again.
02:27It's a good thing that you're moving on from Stevie.
02:29And Brie.
02:31Just tell me who it is. It's not like you to be so secretive.
02:34I don't know what you're talking about.
02:35Why are you hiding this woman?
02:37There is no one to hide.
02:38Well, the evidence says otherwise.
02:40What evidence? I had two coffees.
02:42From two different mugs.
02:43Big deal.
02:44Look, Kirby, I'm sick of this, okay? I don't want to talk about it anymore.
02:48Oh, I'm just going to wash my back. See you later.
02:52I will find out who it is, Remy Carter.
02:54Consider me, Agatha Kirby.
02:56I consider you annoying.
03:03Here we go.
03:05It's lovely to see you two having breakfast together.
03:07We're here all the time, Marilyn.
03:09One of the many benefits of living upstairs.
03:11Says the woman who's on call more than she's at home.
03:14It's very important to have the support of your single friends when you're going through a breakup.
03:18Us ladies have got to stick together, right?
03:22Maybe we should start a club.
03:25Oi, that better not be the hospital again.
03:27I'm assuming that's where you ended up last night.
03:29It's just some test results that I was waiting on.
03:32Zan and I missed you at movie night.
03:34I will definitely be at the next one.
03:36Good. I think we need the buffer.
03:38Just the two of us watching movies when we're fresh off breakups was a bit sad, honestly.
03:43Hey!
03:44Hi.
03:45Do you want to sit with us?
03:46Yes, please.
03:48So, how are things at your place this morning?
03:50Frustrating.
03:51What?
03:52Remy is being super secretive about something.
03:57Hey.
03:58How'd you go with the young bloke yesterday?
04:00Oh, bit up and down, to be honest.
04:03Tane was telling me how he's teaching Perry Maori Martial Arts.
04:07Is that what I saw you practicing on the beach?
04:09Yeah, figured I'd give him a discipline and culture lesson in one.
04:12How was that?
04:13He's got a fair way to go.
04:14Oh, well.
04:15You're on the right track.
04:16I'll leave you to it.
04:19What's going on with you?
04:20Why are you so distracted?
04:23I found Perry sleeping on the beach this morning.
04:26And then we got into it a bit, that's all.
04:28What about?
04:29Respect.
04:31How do you take that?
04:34I think I said I'm right in the end.
04:35You don't seem convinced.
04:36Probably because I'm not.
04:39I don't know.
04:40It was hard to get a read on him.
04:41He was late to our first session.
04:43Didn't want to tell me why.
04:44Well, he doesn't trust you.
04:45Not yet.
04:46And then last night he's all fired up about me teaching him Taiaha.
04:49But then he has to go and meet his dad.
04:52And then he's asleep on the beach.
04:54Doesn't make sense.
04:56I hate to break it to you, Tane, but this is what you signed up for.
05:00Welcome to my world.
05:10You and Remy have been getting along really well recently.
05:22And honestly, I just don't want you to be blindsided by this.
05:25So what makes you think that he's seeing someone?
05:27Lots of things, really.
05:29I mean, he's hardly ever home at night.
05:31Yeah, he works late sometimes.
05:32There were two mugs in the sink this morning.
05:34They could have been anyone.
05:35And he's, like, seriously happy.
05:36The happiest I've seen him in ages.
05:39Not that he wasn't happy with you.
05:40It's just this is something else.
05:43Really?
05:45I'm so sorry.
05:46Don't be. It's fine.
05:48I'm glad that Remy's happy.
06:02Hey.
06:03What are you doing here?
06:04I thought we could hang out.
06:06I wish you'd called, mate.
06:08Oh, relax. It's not a date.
06:12Got any real food in here?
06:13Yeah, check the cupboard.
06:15Oh, you missed out on a real good gig last night.
06:20I know that you say that you're fine,
06:22but we can't just sit around here feeling sad about being single.
06:25Well, what are you suggesting?
06:27How about a girls' afternoon?
06:29Sounds good.
06:30Well, I have a shift later, but that does sound like fun.
06:33Mm, breezy?
06:35Why not?
06:36I have no other plans.
06:37That's the spirit?
06:39Wow!
06:40Yes! Okay. Let's do this.
06:44What do you think?
06:56Hey.
06:58I thought you were going to sort things with your dad.
07:01Well, did you talk to him?
07:02Yep.
07:04I did exactly what you told me to do and it was a huge mistake.
07:06Why? What happened?
07:10This was a mistake.
07:11Perry, talk to me!
07:14Mate, what is it?
07:15Nothing!
07:16Give it a look.
07:23Who did this?
07:25What do you think?
07:26Your dad.
07:27You still think I should respect him?
07:37Salt is doing half-price mojitos.
07:40You like a mojito, don't you?
07:41Kate doesn't.
07:42No, they do a pretty decent mocktail, too.
07:43Oh, it sucks that you have to work late hours.
07:45How are the plants going, girls?
07:47They're shaping up very well, thank you, Miss.
07:49Have fun.
07:50Thanks.
07:52Hi.
07:53Ah, Halba.
07:54Hey.
07:55What are you doing this afternoon?
07:56Um, trashy TV and some paperwork.
07:58We're having a girls' afternoon.
08:00A single girls' afternoon.
08:02To cheer up Rhea because it's her birthday.
08:05To cheer up Rhea because her ex is seeing someone new.
08:07Oh, I'm sorry.
08:08It's fine.
08:09So, drinks itself?
08:10You in?
08:11Thanks, but I just came in to grab some lunch.
08:13Oh, come on!
08:14We've got to enjoy our freedom and have fun!
08:16She's literally not going to let you say no.
08:18I won't.
08:19Okay, okay.
08:20Okay, let's go!
08:24I'm sorry, mate.
08:29I shouldn't have told you to go home.
08:32Can you tell me what happened?
08:35The thing Dad wanted me to do was dodgy.
08:39Okay.
08:42I said no, he lost it.
08:43What did he want you to do?
08:45He wanted me to steal a bunch of new tools off of you down the road.
08:50Has he asked you to steal before?
08:52That's how I ended up in juvie.
08:54I got caught breaking into a house.
08:57He wanted me to steal stuff for him to pawn.
09:00And this is what he does when you say no?
09:02I've never said no before.
09:05Well, I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself.
09:10He was so angry.
09:12I've never seen him that mad.
09:15Hey, that's not your fault.
09:18He shouldn't ask you to do these things.
09:20But he's my dad.
09:21He's all I've got.
09:23Not anymore.
09:25You've got me.
09:26You've got me.
09:30Listen, I know I said to respect your dad.
09:32But respect goes both ways.
09:35And that's why I said no.
09:36Jury was bad enough.
09:39But I'm 18 soon.
09:43That means real prison.
09:45You don't have to worry about that anymore.
09:48Okay?
09:50I'm about to put you out of your misery.
09:52Get on with it then.
09:57It's just a little confidence boost for you.
09:59Your turn.
10:04Mate, you are seriously off your game today.
10:07Don't you have a garage to run or something?
10:09No, I gave myself the day off.
10:11So I've got all day to wipe the floor with you.
10:13Awesome.
10:14Yeah, it's still awesome.
10:20Oh no.
10:21I'm so sorry.
10:22I didn't know Remy would be here.
10:24No, it's fine.
10:25Really.
10:27Guys, I've just been called in.
10:29What, again?
10:30No, do not let Remy being here scare you off.
10:32Okay?
10:33We need to enjoy our freedom, remember?
10:34It's not about him.
10:35I promise.
10:36But I am very lucky to have a friend like you looking out for me.
10:38Are you sure?
10:39Absolutely.
10:41Have fun, ladies.
10:42Next time, first round's on me.
10:44Okay, bye.
10:45Bye.
10:47You may as well give up now, mate.
10:50Yeah, mate, I completely forgot.
10:51I've got a studio session this afternoon.
10:53Since when?
10:54Ah, it just slipped my mind, so...
10:56Gotta go.
10:57Ah, I'll have to see your secret girlfriend.
10:59Yeah, you got me, Kirby.
11:04No.
11:05No.
11:06Not you two.
11:07Tani needs my advice with something.
11:09Tani?
11:10I will catch up with you guys later.
11:15Come on.
11:21You told the social worker.
11:22I've just asked her not to speak to you.
11:24Thought you could help.
11:26With what?
11:27Just listening, if you like.
11:31What happened to your arm?
11:39Cigarette burn.
11:40From a step.
11:42Has he hurt you before?
11:45Normally just knocks me around a bit or, you know, takes it out on the furniture.
11:50So how does he justify it?
11:53I annoy him.
11:55Or...
11:56I mess up.
11:58Sometimes he drinks too much.
12:01Just does it for fun.
12:04Perry, that's not okay.
12:06You won't tell anyone, will you?
12:07You can't, especially not your work or the cops.
12:09Hey, Perry.
12:10Dad would get really mad.
12:11I won't tell anyone.
12:14Promise?
12:15I promise.
12:17And because you're over 16 legally, I can't tell anyone unless you want me to.
12:23Okay, good.
12:30Be back in a sec, mate.
12:41Alright.
12:43What do I do?
12:44How do I help?
12:45That's my job.
12:46No, you don't get it.
12:47I told him to go home this morning.
12:48Look what happened.
12:49That is not your fault.
12:50You want to know.
12:51Well, he can't go back there.
12:53And he can't go sleep on the beach again.
12:56What are my options?
13:11So, who's this woman you're secretly seeing?
13:13Shall I be worried?
13:15Oh, yeah, you should be.
13:17She's a cat.
13:19A very sexy cat.
13:20Seriously, though, we need to be more careful.
13:24Why? No one's here.
13:26They could walk in at any second.
13:29We'd better make the most of it.
13:35Wait.
13:37I want to go for a ride.
13:38Really?
13:39Just like that?
13:40Uh-huh. Grab the helmets.
13:48Doing okay back there?
13:49Loving it.
13:53Do you think Bree's really okay?
13:56She seemed fine to me.
13:59It can't be easy knowing when you're seeing someone new.
14:02Cubs, you don't even know if that's true.
14:10Then who is that woman on the back of his bike?
14:19All right, here we are.
14:21Help yourself to anything in the fridge.
14:23Bathroom's around the corner.
14:25I'll get you a fresh towel.
14:27Um, what about your housemates?
14:29Oh, I texted them. They're fine with it.
14:32You can't stay at your place.
14:35Are you going to be the one to tell me now?
14:37You don't need to worry about them.
14:40You can take my room. I'll crash in there.
14:43All right, you get settled in and I'll make us some lunch.
14:46Okay.
14:49Thanks.
14:58Are you sure about this?
15:00He needs help.
15:02Okay, you said it yourself. He's over 16.
15:04He can choose where he wants to live.
15:05I know you want to help, but this is a serious situation.
15:08You can't just move him into your house.
15:10This is why I started the program.
15:11To help a kid.
15:13This is him.
15:14Well, at least call Rose.
15:15No, no. Perry said no cops.
15:16She can't do anything unless he wants her to.
15:19I don't know.
15:21It might be worth hearing what his options are.
15:24Well, I'll see if she can drop it.
15:26Good.
15:28I just don't get it.
15:30I mean, does this guy not realise how lucky he is to be a father?
15:33We've had this conversation.
15:35Yeah, I know, and I'm trying not to judge,
15:37but it just kills me to see a kid trying so hard to be a good son.
15:41Look, don't worry.
15:43I've learnt my lesson.
15:45I'm trying to make better choices about how I react.
15:48I know you are.
15:50And look at what you're achieving in such a short period of time.
15:54Feels like forever since I was facing prison time.
15:57It's only been six weeks.
15:59I'll try to remember that.
16:01I knew it.
16:03Far out, woman.
16:05Where are Belle?
16:07I almost bought the two coffee mugs,
16:09but you don't have two heads.
16:11Is she with you?
16:12Who?
16:13Who do you think?
16:14The wearer of that second helmet.
16:16Oh, give it a rest, would you, Kirby?
16:18Oh, I get the Kirby.
16:20Does not rest until she gets the truth.
16:22You're being ridiculous.
16:24I'm not being ridiculous.
16:26I'm not being ridiculous.
16:27Does not rest until she gets the truth.
16:29You're being ridiculous.
16:30Okay, but if you must know,
16:32I just picked up my spare from the studio, alright?
16:35You think you're so clever, don't you?
16:39I think that you're losing your mind.
16:42Remy, I saw you riding your bike with a woman on the back.
16:46That's right.
16:47Caught red-handed.
16:49Fess up.
16:50Who is she?
16:53Ah, it's um,
16:55it's Lanie.
16:57Oh, oh, the backing singer.
16:58Who asked you out?
16:59Yeah.
17:00Oh, that's why you've been working late so much.
17:03Yes, yes.
17:05Oh, you must be so smitten.
17:07Shut up.
17:08No, it's a good thing.
17:09I like seeing you happy.
17:11Does Eden know?
17:12No.
17:13No one does.
17:14Okay, so can you just keep it to yourself?
17:16Please?
17:17It's just, it's so fresh and we don't want to...
17:19Your secret is safe with our girl Kirby.
17:22Thank you.
17:24But maybe tone down the public bike rides if you want to keep it on the DL.
17:27Yeah, good idea.
17:28Yeah.
17:29Yeah, there you go.
17:31This Lanie,
17:33she must be pretty amazing.
17:35Yeah.
17:36She certainly is.
17:38Woo!
17:39Woo!
17:54Dana?
18:01Irene?
18:23Oh, my God.
18:54How was it?
18:55Well...
18:57I've eaten worse.
18:58Oh.
18:59Well, thank you for the five-star review.
19:03Who's that?
19:04Oh, I asked a friend to come over.
19:05You can shut.
19:08Hey.
19:09Thanks for coming.
19:10Yeah, of course.
19:13You called the cops?
19:14Well, Rose is a friend.
19:15She wants to help.
19:17Rose, this is Perry.
19:18Nice to meet you, Perry.
19:20Tane's told me you're having some trouble with your dad.
19:22Tane shouldn't have told you anything.
19:24This isn't an interview.
19:25It's just a conversation.
19:26I haven't given her any details, mate.
19:28I'm not talking to her.
19:29Don't you want to know what your options are?
19:31Rose can help protect you from your dad.
19:32You want me to dog my dad into the cops?
19:35As if he's not angry enough.
19:36You don't have to do anything.
19:38Yeah, and Rose won't report him unless you want her to.
19:40That's the law, right?
19:41Yeah, it is.
19:42I can't believe I trusted you.
19:45Wait, Perry, wait.
19:49He's upset.
19:50Yeah, well, he's got every right to be.
19:51I mean, what father would do that?
19:52Okay, Tane, you know the deal here.
19:54The minute you put a foot wrong, I'm going to have to come back here and arrest you.
19:56No, that's not going to happen.
19:58Okay.
19:59Good.
20:02Keep going.
20:03You'll get there.
20:05That's what Harper said too.
20:06I'm glad she's got your back on this.
20:08I couldn't do it without her.
20:21I love you.
20:51I love you.
21:00Can you not ruin my day?
21:01I just want to know where the flags are so we can surf in the right area.
21:03Yeah, well, if you give me a second, you'll see for yourself.
21:05Oh, forget it.
21:13Xander!
21:19Xander!
21:20Oh, God, help!
21:21He was hit by a surfboard.
21:23He won't do anything.
21:24Come back up.
21:25Xander, can you hear me?
