00:00♪ Closer each day, home in the way ♪
00:09I'm sorry, Piri. I didn't realise it was your birthday.
00:11I only went to Seoul because I wanted to celebrate a little.
00:14What am I supposed to do for an 18th?
00:16What did you do for your 18th?
00:17I had all the family over and we did a hangi.
00:20Do you think Piri would go for it?
00:22Happy birthday, mate.
00:23It looks really expensive and we hardly know each other.
00:26You and your boyfriend are nice.
00:28Thanks.
00:29That's what you are to me. Strangers. Everyone here is.
00:34McGrath's been hounding us for months.
00:36So you killed him?
00:37To keep your mate out of prison.
00:39He's family. You know what that's like.
00:41I love Rory and I'm not turning my back on him because of you.
00:44Right now I'm the last person she wants to talk to.
00:46You're her brother.
00:47No, I am the guy putting the man she loves behind bars.
00:51It's a shame we didn't get time to check out the hotel pool.
00:54I'm not complaining about what we got to get up to instead.
00:58Well, what are we doing here?
00:59Let's get out of here before anyone sees us.
01:01That's seriously tempting.
01:03Being alone when no one knows us.
01:05Not being the talk of the town.
01:07Hey, hey. I'm sure the people have moved on.
01:11Hey, lovers. You're back.
01:14So much for moving on.
01:16How was your getaway?
01:17Yeah, peaceful, quiet.
01:19Cool. Want to catch up over a drink?
01:21We were hoping to just spend the day together.
01:24Yeah, just the two of us.
01:25Well, no worries. We will love you and we will leave you.
01:28See ya.
01:29Bye.
01:32Thank you.
01:37There you go.
01:38Cheers.
01:40Hey.
01:41Hey.
01:42Hey.
01:43Hey.
01:44Hey.
01:45Hey.
01:46I didn't thank you properly for this.
01:47Oh, don't be silly.
01:48I'm just sorry that it made you uncomfortable.
01:51You know, you were so right.
01:53You would usually be spending today with friends and family.
01:57Anyone in particular you want to spend today with?
01:59Not really.
02:02What about your mum?
02:04She's dead.
02:06I'm sorry.
02:07That's okay.
02:08It was a long time ago.
02:11You know, it's true, Perry, that we don't really know each other.
02:15But I want you to know that everyone here wants good things for you.
02:19Thanks.
02:21Well, you know, if we keep talking, soon enough we'll be less like strangers and more like friends.
02:26You think?
02:27Yeah, of course. That's how this works.
02:32May as well go full weird then and celebrate with the sun.
02:35Go full weird. Yes, do it.
02:41Looks good.
02:43Thanks.
02:44Hey, can you give us a hand?
02:46Yeah.
02:47What do you need?
02:48There's boxes of groceries in the back seat.
02:50If you can grab those, please.
02:52Okay.
02:53Perry, come have a look at this.
02:55Now, these rocks here are special.
02:59What do you mean?
03:00Well, don't tell the Aussies, but theirs can't handle the heat of a hangi.
03:04They explode.
03:06Right, we'd better get moving.
03:07We're really pushing it for time.
03:08We really should have started this yesterday.
03:11Don't just stand there, grab your box.
03:18Whoa.
03:19That's a lot of food.
03:20Yep, the meat's not even here yet. Whānau's bringing that.
03:23Whānau?
03:24Yeah, family.
03:25You say the word hangi and it's all action stations for them.
03:28I still don't even know what it is. Is it like a barbecue or what is it?
03:33Mate, it's much more than that. It's a feast.
03:35Cooked the way we Māori have done for centuries.
03:37Right.
03:38Yeah, my dad and my uncles taught me how to prepare one.
03:41Now I can do the same for you.
03:43Oh, awesome.
03:44It's my birthday and I'll be doing the cooking.
03:46Oh man, it'll be worth it.
03:48And plus, it's not just about the food, you know.
03:49It's about tradition, family.
03:51I don't have any family here.
03:53Hey, my whānau is your whānau.
03:57And the hangi can also be about friends too, right?
03:59Yeah, yeah, of course.
04:00I just don't want you guys to go through any trouble.
04:03That's all. It's no trouble. I'm keen as.
04:05Now I'm going to get changed. We've got heaps of work to do outside.
04:11Hey, missing your family on big days like this, it's hard.
04:21What was that about?
04:23Perry said that he felt surrounded by strangers.
04:27Poor kid.
04:28I know. Now that Tāne is making a big deal about family, it's just...
04:32I don't know if Perry's up for it.
04:34Well, it's better than leaving him alone on his birthday, isn't it?
04:37Yeah, I guess so.
04:45Hey, it's good to see you.
04:47It's good to see you too.
04:49How's your day?
04:50Oh, it's long.
04:51The paperwork's never ending since the raid on the rest.
04:54Yeah, that's what you get for being good at your job. More work.
04:57So, have you seen Flick today?
05:00No. I knocked on her door and she yelled at me.
05:04So I guess we're still not talking.
05:06I'm sorry.
05:08I'm the idiot who thought putting Rory away would fix things.
05:11I just got so focused on cracking the case, I didn't think about how hurt she'd be.
05:15You got the bad guy, OK? You're allowed to feel good about that.
05:19Wish Flick hadn't gotten her heart broken in the process.
05:25OK, so once we wrap the veggies in foil and stuff, should we bring them back out or...?
05:30Nah, nah, not yet. We still need to light the fire to heat the rocks up.
05:33That alone will take a few hours.
05:35Oh, OK. Well, do you want me to get Levi to come down and help you guys?
05:38Nah, we're good. Birthday boy here needs to learn, right?
05:41Right.
05:42OK. Good luck.
05:45I promise you, all the hard work's going to make the food taste way nicer.
05:49You do know they invented ovens for a reason, right?
05:52Like, no digging required?
05:54You know, when I was learning to put down a hangi for the first time,
05:56my dad told me the story of how a Māori deity called Tāne travelled up to the heavens
06:02and brought back three baskets of knowledge to Earth.
06:05And that one of the many uses of those baskets today
06:08is to bring together the best food we can find.
06:10Ooh, and the aroma of the food cooking and the wood and the rocks burning in the earth
06:15all floats back to the heavens and honours our ancestors.
06:20Sounds pretty cool.
06:21You see? It's pretty cool.
06:22Sounds pretty cool.
06:23You see? It's pretty cool, right?
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah. So get back to digging.
06:30So what'd you do for your last birthday?
06:32Oh, not much. Copped a beating from Dad.
06:38It was a long time. Hard fish and chips at home, on the beach.
06:43Sounds nice.
06:44Yeah, it was.
06:47All right, let's keep going.
06:48Don't have much time.
06:50Almost there.
06:53Did she answer?
06:58You know, I don't even care that she's mad at me. I just want her to feel better.
07:01Please, she'll get there. All right?
07:04I bumped into Rose. She said they're singing your praise at the Yabby Creek.
07:07Maybe you could transfer back there.
07:09It doesn't really work that way.
07:11Well, you've proved to the force that they were stupid for letting you go.
07:14Can't hurt to ask.
07:17I hear a congratulations. I want to see if you come through.
07:20Thank you.
07:21We should be celebrating.
07:22Yes, come in.
07:23I'll grab us some drinks.
07:26I knew that Rory was a creep the day I met him.
07:28Yes, he's not worth talking about.
07:30Yeah, you're right.
07:31Nonetheless, Flick is so lucky to have you looking out for him.
07:34Yeah, thank you. I might head home and check in on her.
07:37No, you don't have to.
07:38See you later.
07:41What did I say?
07:49Babe.
07:51Forget Kirby.
07:52She doesn't know the whole story.
07:54Yeah, sorry. I'm just not great company right now and I really do want to go check on Flick.
07:58Okay, I get that.
08:00Why don't I see if I can get off early and I'll come with you?
08:02No, no. It's not your problem.
08:04It is. I want to help.
08:06Babe.
08:07Leave it.
08:22Mmm. That's where my shirt got to.
08:25You complaining?
08:27What do you think?
08:30This is nice. And I don't want to jinx it, but I think the others might have got the message.
08:35It's about time.
08:39Oh, sorry. Sorry. I didn't realise you'd be back. I'm just going to go stretch my room.
08:44Hang on. What's going on?
08:47It's just Cash. I'm a bit worried about him.
08:51I'm going to go and grab a shower.
08:53Okay.
08:58Sorry.
09:00What's going on with Cash?
09:03You know how we arrested Flick's new boyfriend?
09:06Mm-hmm.
09:07Yeah, well, she's gutted about it, obviously, and she's taking it out on him.
09:11And he feels responsible?
09:13Yeah, yeah. He's really down on himself.
09:16Have you tried talking to Flick?
09:18Yeah. Yeah, but she's not talking to me either.
09:22With Cash, it's a different story. I just don't know what to do to be able to help him.
09:27Well, maybe there isn't anything you can do.
09:31I don't want to believe that.
09:35Alright.
09:38Alright, that'll do. Now we wait for it to heat up.
09:42Hey, Cousy.
09:43Hey.
09:44Hey, what time do you call this, eh?
09:45Oh, it's traffic. Traffic.
09:48Hey, there's the meat. It's all good to go.
09:49Hey, thanks for helping me organise this last minute, too.
09:51Yeah, no worries, Cous. Hey, a boy only turns 18 once, eh?
09:56Hey, Perry. Come here.
09:59This is my cousin, Kitty.
10:01Oh, hey. Kia ora. Kia ora.
10:04Hey, happy birthday.
10:05Thank you.
10:07I got you something.
10:09It's called a manaia. It'll protect you and bring you good luck.
10:14Thanks, guys.
10:16Oh, let's chuck it on you. Let's have a look.
10:18Alright, I'll get this sorted.
10:19Yep.
10:25Hey, too much.
10:31You alright?
10:33Yeah.
10:35You alright?
10:38I don't deserve this.
10:40Any of it.
10:42Hey, of course you do.
10:44Try and enjoy yourself, yeah?
10:46Yeah?
10:49Alright.
10:53Flick, I'm sorry I've hurt you, but you can't keep avoiding me.
10:55You can yell at me if you want to, but just come home, please.
11:00Or at least just let me know that you're okay, please.
11:03Hey.
11:04Hey.
11:06Flick, can you come out?
11:07She's not here.
11:09Where's she gone?
11:10I texted her to say I'm coming home and she's taken off.
11:13Okay, well, get changed because you are coming to stay at my place.
11:19Why?
11:20Well, because sitting here on your own is going to drive you mad.
11:25Okay? Come on, get up.
11:29I'm on my way.
11:31I'm not taking no for an answer.
11:37Good, good, that's us boys, that's us.
11:39Hey, well done boy, well done.
11:41So, how long does it take to cook?
11:43Oh, a few hours.
11:44Hey, are you kidding? I'm starving.
11:46Oh, he's not very patient, is he?
11:49Sorry.
11:50Nah, I'm just kidding bro, it's all good.
11:52This is the hard part anyway, waiting.
11:54Yeah.
11:57Hey, you okay?
12:01Hey, you know what we need?
12:03Of course he plays guitar.
12:04He does play guitar.
12:07Hey birthday boy, any requests?
12:12I know, how about something traditional?
12:15Traditional she says.
12:17Okay, I think we can do that.
12:19Okay.
12:20Alright.
12:30E te ho
12:33Ho ro i a
12:35Ho ro i a
12:38E te hua
12:42E te fit
12:43Fiti, fiti a
12:48E te a
12:53Mahia!
12:55Mahia ke ka
13:00Ho nanu nanu
13:07Ma kere ana na here
13:18I thought Tash would be happy that his sister wasn't dating a murderer anymore.
13:22That guy's got a lot on his plate, I wouldn't take it personally.
13:25Hmm.
13:27Oh, Remy, he wants to hang out.
13:30I thought we'd been dismissed.
13:32Yeah, I guess he's changed his mind.
13:34Well, let me wipe the floor with it here and then we can go.
13:40Here he is again.
13:41He says bring pizza.
13:43Of course he does.
13:53What are you doing over here?
13:54Oh, that is hot.
13:56Keeping an eye on the hangi.
13:58It's part of the job.
14:00Yeah, well, so is having a little fun.
14:02It's your birthday, you want a drink?
14:04Oh, I'm good, thanks.
14:06No, suit yourself.
14:11Hey, yo, Piri, mate, I've just had an awesome idea.
14:14Yeah?
14:15Listen, why don't we get you a passport and go for a trip to New Zealand?
14:18How's that sound?
14:19What?
14:20Yeah, yeah, we can go see where your family's from, your iwi, your marae.
14:23You know, getting your feet on the ground.
14:24Stop.
14:25No, no, just stop, man.
14:28No, I don't want any of this.
14:30No, New Zealand's your home.
14:32It's not mine.
14:34None of this means anything to me.
14:36It's just for you.
14:38I don't want any of it.
14:39You know what?
14:41You can keep this.
14:43I'm not your little cultural project.
14:46Done.
14:47Oh.
14:53Hey.
14:54Good to see you.
14:55Ah, good man.
14:56Is this some kind of ploy to get free delivery, or do you actually want to hang out with us?
14:59Guess we'll never know.
15:01So what is going on?
15:02Yeah, what kind of disappointment are you setting us up for?
15:05Relax, this is for Aiden.
15:07Oh, is she here?
15:08I think I stepped in it with Cash earlier.
15:10Ah, you didn't.
15:11Hey, there he is.
15:13Hey.
15:14Hey.
15:15You didn't tell me you had a little house.
15:16Well, you can't wallow on your own.
15:17I've had no luck cheering you up, Sinead.
15:19All of us.
15:21Hi.
15:22Hey.
15:23I'm really sorry if I said something insensitive earlier.
15:26No, no, that wasn't you.
15:27Right.
15:29Come on.
15:32Come on.
15:33Please, just try and have a good time.
15:36I say we make ourselves comfortable.
15:44Okay.
15:46Give Felicity some time, give yourself a break.
15:50It's going to be okay.
15:52Yeah.
15:55I'm not sure how long I'll be at the hospital, but can you save me some food, please?
15:59I will do my very best.
16:04Is he okay?
16:05Leave that with me.
16:06Now you go save a life.
16:16Hey.
16:18I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you wanted.
16:21You know, when I had nothing else going on, I had my whanau to lift me up, you know,
16:27and we'd have these gatherings and it'll be great and I'd feel needed.
16:35I just wanted to give Perry a sense of that too.
16:37I know you did.
16:41But I bet you had your whole family around you when you were 18.
16:45Yeah, I did.
16:49Look, I know what you're getting at.
16:52Perry doesn't have any of his Māori family here, so a bit of a waste of time.
16:57No.
16:58No, Tāne, that's not it at all.
17:00What you've done, it was such an amazing idea.
17:03It's just, I don't think it's what he needed.
17:07I didn't even know he was struggling until he blew up.
17:10I know.
17:11He didn't want you to, though.
17:13He can see how hard you are trying.
17:16And your whanau, you know, they provide comfort because they have been a part of your life forever.
17:21But Perry's not you.
17:25Dance with me. Come on.
17:26No.
17:27Come on, come on!
17:29There's nothing like a read-a-mouse!
17:31Who's not?
17:32Here we go.
17:33I've got to work, but I'll give you a hand.
17:35Come on, just have some fun. Just for half an hour.
17:37I'm actually having a lot of fun watching you have fun.
17:39Oh, okay, well that's progress, but I don't believe you.
17:43I'm going to grab you another one.
17:44Thanks.
17:48Alright, we're doing these shots. Come on.
17:50Can I have a shot of water?
17:54Heard you've had a big week.
17:56Yeah.
17:57How much did Eden tell you?
17:58She told me Flick's giving you a hard time over the guy she was seeing.
18:01That's an understatement of the year.
18:04Would you change it?
18:05Would you change it?
18:06Hm?
18:07Would you have dropped the investigation if you'd known it would land here?
18:10No, no, of course not. It was a murder investigation.
18:12You can't waste time regretting things.
18:14You've got to make the most of what you've got.
18:17And right now, having an amazing woman looking out for you,
18:20that's as good as it gets.
18:23You sound like a man talking from experience.
18:27What's it been like with you and Bree back together?
18:30Like this is how it's always meant to be.
18:32Yeah?
18:34Yeah, she's the one, man.
18:52Hey.
18:55I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blown up like that.
18:57No, no, no. That wasn't me.
19:00I'm sorry if I've been going about this the wrong way.
19:03No, it's just a bit much, that's all.
19:06Well, don't worry. I'm not going to ship you off to New Zealand or anything.
19:12You ever been?
19:20What is it?
19:21Hey.
19:23Talk to me.
19:26Mum always used to say that when I turned 18, we'd go together.
19:31Her dad couldn't stop us because I was an adult.
19:38If I'd known, I never would have suggested it.
19:40That's okay. It's just a promise you made.
19:44You probably thought about her a lot today then.
19:53I miss her.
20:01Bye.
20:10Well, I guess we can call that an epic fail.
20:14What do you mean?
20:15Well, I dragged everyone into this cheer up cash scenario and now you're out here on your own.
20:20I'm sorry.
20:21Please, don't say that.
20:22I'm sorry. I am sorry.
20:25I appreciate all the effort I do.
20:28You don't need to worry about me.
20:30You know how much you hate seeing Felicity hurting?
20:32That is how much I hate seeing you do this to yourself.
20:37I love you, Cash Newland.
20:39So please, do not tell me not to worry about you.
20:42Instead, just tell me what I can do to make things better.
20:49Cash, say something, please.
20:54Marry me.
21:00Marry me.
21:05I landed this on you out of nowhere and obviously I probably could have thought it through.
21:09I love you. I want to marry you.
21:11I propose to Eden.
21:12No, you don't.
21:14It's a really tricky situation.
21:17I love him and I want to be with him.
21:19So what are you going to do?
21:23Aren't you a little old to be playing hide and seek?
21:25What are you doing?
21:26Cash put himself out there. You can't leave him hanging much longer.
21:28Really? Go away.
21:29Fine.
21:30Told you.
