00:00♪ Closer each day, home in a way. ♪
00:08Something going on at home that's bothering you?
00:10What are you implying?
00:11Is your husband, is he a problem?
00:13He lost his job a while ago, and he's been leaning on me.
00:16And sometimes I need a break.
00:18I saw you yesterday with Claudia.
00:20Why can't Claudia catch taxis?
00:22She can't afford it, okay, and there is some issue with her husband.
00:26Then tell Leah that.
00:27She doesn't need to know.
00:29You might think that lying to Leah is okay, but I'm, I'm not gonna do it.
00:32Leo, don't say anything.
00:36I miss him, and I know that he must be missing Felicity.
00:39I just, I wish I could be there for him.
00:49♪ Set me free, set me free. ♪
00:56Same again.
00:58Dude.
01:01I'll get it myself then.
01:08Eden, you alright?
01:10Yeah, peachy.
01:14Look, at the risk of getting my head bitten off, I heard about what happened.
01:19I'm sorry.
01:20Cash told me.
01:22Of course he did, of course he did.
01:25For what it's worth, I think he's making a huge mistake.
01:30Do you wanna know what the worst part is?
01:32I, I actually thought that maybe he would change his mind.
01:38He may, yeah.
01:39He's not thinking clearly.
01:40Don't, don't say that stuff.
01:42That's the kind of thinking that just keeps getting me into trouble.
01:50What are you doing?
01:51Sorry?
01:53I'm sensing you're in need of company.
01:57If you want me to keep talking, it's your show.
02:09Five at the dustpan and brush.
02:12Come on.
02:20Alright, what's with the silent treatment?
02:23You know, I'm just trying to wrap my head around why you're not telling Leah the truth about Claudia.
02:27If nothing dodgy's going on, like you say.
02:29It doesn't need to be such a big deal.
02:31How can you say that?
02:33You know what Leah's like.
02:35Yeah, I do.
02:36Yeah, so lying to her is not gonna end well.
02:39Only if she finds out.
02:41Which she won't.
02:43She got so upset when she heard Claudia blaming you for the car accident.
02:46No, Claudia was right. It was my fault.
02:48It's not gonna happen again.
02:50But as the boss, this is my way of making it up to her.
02:54And it's only until the cast comes off.
02:58I still feel like she's got better options.
03:00Well, I'm not gonna make her catch the bus when I can give her a lift.
03:05It's not just one lift.
03:06You're basically her personal driver.
03:09She needs this for her job, mate.
03:12If you saw the work that she does with veterans, you'd understand.
03:15Claudia's a good person.
03:17She'd just run into some bad luck.
03:19That's it.
03:22Okay, well, maybe if you explain that to Leah, then she will understand.
03:26Trust me.
03:27There's no point getting her all worked up when this'll all be over in a couple of weeks.
03:35I've never been thrown out of salt before.
03:37My workmate, who was meant to have my back, said that I'd had enough drinks.
03:43So, no, not kicked out.
03:44And back on the path again.
03:46Yeah, yeah.
03:47I'll walk you home.
03:50I hate that I live so close to him.
03:52He says he's right across the road and I can't do anything about it.
03:55I can't go over there. I can't talk to him.
03:57And then when I do see him, he just looks the other way.
04:01It is killing me.
04:04Small town breakups have their challenges.
04:07Everywhere I look, there's a reminder of Cash.
04:12And Felicity.
04:14And you've lost your best friend too.
04:17I just, I wish she was here, you know.
04:19She'd know what to do.
04:21And right now, the only person who knows what I'm going through won't even talk to me, so...
04:27It's gonna be okay.
04:28No.
04:29No, it's not, John.
04:30John.
04:32Why would he do this to me?
04:33You know, make me feel like I don't exist.
04:37Come on.
04:38Let's get you home.
04:40I miss him so much.
04:44Once you have the silent partner deal locked down, work will be so much easier.
04:49Yeah.
04:52Um, listen, I'm gonna have to call you back.
04:54Let me know how you go with the solicitor.
04:56Yeah, love you. Bye, bye, bye.
04:57Bye. Hey, hey.
04:59Where are you going?
05:01Dancing.
05:02No, you're not.
05:03Why?
05:04You know exactly why.
05:06When did you get so boring?
05:07Sometime during my 10-year medical degree.
05:10Are those cravings getting pretty strong?
05:13Yeah, look, honestly, I thought I'd be positive by now, but...
05:17Why don't we watch a movie?
05:18No, please, no more movies.
05:20I wanna do something.
05:21I just, I feel like the walls are suffocating me.
05:23Look, I know this is frustrating.
05:24Let's just stick to the plan, okay?
05:27Diet, exercise, and most importantly, sleep.
05:29Sleep, yes, Dr Fowler.
05:32Oh, okay, okay, I'll go run around in the paddock and you can time me.
05:37I have a better idea.
05:40No.
05:41Yeah.
05:42No.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I'll let you pick again.
05:47Oh, you're so boring.
05:51Okay, nearly there.
05:53His car's there, but the lights aren't on.
05:56Yeah, well, I don't think spying on him's the way to go.
05:58Oh, you're coming from Mr Neighbourhood Watch.
06:01Yeah.
06:07I just, I used to think that me and Cash, you know, we could get through anything.
06:11We were meant to have a future together.
06:15How do I stop feeling like this?
06:17Yeah, it hurts now and it feels like it's never ever gonna get any better.
06:21But it will.
06:22How do you know?
06:23I've had my fair share of heartbreak.
06:25Here, drink this.
06:27Thanks.
06:30You've probably got better things to do tonight, huh?
06:33Oh, yeah, me and Mr Popular, yeah, sure, lots of parties to go to.
06:36So, um, best not to keep people waiting.
06:40John.
06:45Thanks for listening.
06:47Get some rest.
06:49Things always feel a bit better in the morning.
06:52You know?
06:54No.
07:15I want a word with you.
07:18People are sleeping.
07:19Hey, look, I know that it was your sister that died, but I lost somebody too.
07:24And I can't lose both of you.
07:26No, Ian, this...
07:28And I know that you want to protect me.
07:31But if you want to, then you should be with me, you know, by my side, where you belong.
07:36That's right.
07:37And leaving me is not protecting me, it's the opposite.
07:41Ian, it's late. It's late and you've been drinking.
07:43Mm-hmm.
07:44Okay?
07:45Let's talk about this some other time.
07:48You want to talk about time?
07:51Babe, you're wasting it. I'm right in front of you. It is now or never.
07:55Stop it. Ian, stop it. Stop it.
07:57Babe, I love you.
08:02And I know that you love me too.
08:06Can you...
08:08Can you look me in the eye and tell me that I'm wrong?
08:17Close enough to feel but far enough to fade
08:23You never answer my question.
08:25Oh, it's complicated.
08:29You either love me or you don't love me.
08:35Tell me that you don't.
08:38If there is nothing to hope for, then I can... I can let you go.
08:43I'm here for the good parts and the bad parts.
08:49I love all of you, remember?
09:05I can't. Okay? I can't. I gotta go.
09:08Just stay. Just stay.
09:10God, this is the best.
09:11No, that's not true.
09:12It is true.
09:13Do you want to end up in a body bag?
09:16If you go, Cash, that's it. There's no coming back.
09:22I'm sorry.
09:28Get out!
09:41Good morning.
09:42Oh.
09:43You sleep okay?
09:44Nope. My brain wouldn't shut off.
09:47That doesn't help if you're on your phone all night.
09:49I wasn't.
09:51Okay, I was, but only to listen to music, which helps me drown out all the thoughts.
09:55And the birds, they are so loud. How do you deal with it?
09:58Well, I kind of like them.
10:00What do you normally do to unwind? Do you watch movies, listen to music?
10:04I don't know.
10:05What do you normally do to unwind? Do you watch movies, listen to music, read?
10:10I don't know.
10:11Alright, well, why don't we put some music on? Something chill.
10:15Okay.
10:19Let's go.
10:22This isn't what I had in mind, Abby.
10:24Do you feel like dancing?
10:25Not usually this early in the morning.
10:27You need to loosen up.
10:29Maybe you can talk to your counsellor about how to burn off some of this extra energy.
10:32They all say the same thing. Have you tried breathing?
10:35There are other options.
10:36You know what?
10:38Start it.
11:03Morning.
11:05Oh, John. What time is it?
11:07I thought you could do with these.
11:09Thank you. What are you doing here?
11:12Well, I worried about you all night, so I thought I'd pop in and see if you're okay.
11:16And you don't look it.
11:18Thank you. Thank you. I need to go and die in a hole now.
11:21Why?
11:23After you left, I went over to Cash's place.
11:26Oh.
11:27Yeah, I made a complete fool of myself. I basically threw myself at him.
11:31I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
11:33And I know that he still loves me, but he just won't say it.
11:38Okay. Is anybody else here?
11:41You shouldn't be on your own.
11:42Don't worry. I won't be.
11:49Can we do something today?
11:51Like go for a walk or...
11:53Oh, can we go to the beach?
11:55Do you have something to swim in?
11:56Yeah.
11:57Sure, yeah. Give me a hand to clean up and we'll go.
12:01I'm a guest. Guests don't clean.
12:05Fine.
12:07Abby, can we please change the music? This stuff is giving me a headache.
12:11Yeah.
12:23I don't recognise that voice anywhere.
12:26My sister is pretty talented. No doubt about it.
12:31You expecting someone?
12:34Hi.
12:37Hey. Come in.
12:38You're done.
12:39We were just talking about you.
12:42What are you doing here?
12:44I'm not really sure.
12:48Damn, I thought I looked bad, but after seeing you I feel a whole lot better about myself.
12:51Oh, thank you.
12:52Thank you so much, sis.
12:56Why are you listening to this song?
12:59Oh, we were just admiring how talented you are.
13:03Can we turn it off, please?
13:05Why? It's a great song.
13:10Not that song. Not today.
13:22Hey Cash, you got a minute?
13:24Yeah.
13:27Just checking in, see how you are.
13:29I'm good.
13:33Look, Eden told me about what happened last night, about her visit.
13:39Did she?
13:41Yeah.
13:42She's finding it really difficult living so close to you.
13:45Yeah, well she needs to realise that she can't just barge in whenever she wants to.
13:48Yeah, I think she had a bit too much to drink.
13:50Well, I know she had too much to drink, but she's paying for it now.
13:53She's feeling very sorry for herself.
13:55Well, I didn't mean to hurt her. I'm just trying to do the right thing.
13:58Sure you two can't just work it out?
14:00Oh, the further away she is from me, the safer she'll be.
14:04I hope you know what you're doing, mate.
14:07Because if that girl loves you, she won't be reaching out forever.
14:12Writing Night Song helped me get my memory back.
14:15The first time I performed it, I was so nervous.
14:20And then I saw Cash and it was like we were the only two people in the room.
14:25It sounds like magic.
14:28Yeah, well, now I never want to hear it again.
14:32Fair enough.
14:33Now I never want to hear it again.
14:36Fair enough.
14:38The thing is, is that I know that he still loves me, but he just, he won't let himself be happy. He can't even try.
14:46I cannot believe that he would do that to you. What a jerk.
14:50As your big brother, I'm obliged to tell you that I can beat him up.
14:55Taking this brother role just a little bit too seriously, don't you think?
14:57Well, I might be making it for last time.
15:00Well, you might regret that.
15:02I kind of already am, but the offer's still on the table if that's something you do want.
15:06Thank you. Thank you so much, bro, but I don't think that you should hit a cop.
15:11Oh. Good point.
15:17Look, just because she's some sort of social worker...
15:19Veteran's advocate.
15:21Whatever. Doesn't make her a good person.
15:23We already talked about that, mate.
15:25I don't like Lionelia.
15:29What's she doing here?
15:30I don't know.
15:31Alright, well, if you're good here, I'm going to head off.
15:34Hey, we didn't organise a ride today.
15:38Ah, yeah. I know. I'm, um, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here. I just, I didn't know where else to go.
15:45What's happened?
15:46I had a fight with my husband. I can't, I can't do it anymore.
15:50Okay, it's going to be alright.
15:51I can't do it anymore.
16:01It's for the headache.
16:09Hey, do you have sunscreen?
16:11Yeah.
16:15Are you sure that you don't want to come to the beach with us?
16:18Oof, I'm going to steer clear of anywhere I might run into Cash.
16:23You can hide here as long as you want.
16:24Thanks.
16:28How long were you and Cash together?
16:30About two years.
16:33And he dumped you to protect you. I'm sorry, how does that work?
16:37It's irrational.
16:39Perhaps his, his whole family's gone.
16:41Yeah, which is why I should be holding on to you, not pushing you away.
16:45Is talking to him definitely off the cards?
16:48Yeah, after last night's performance, it is, yeah.
16:52What does that mean?
16:53I kind of got smashed and then threw myself at him only to be rejected again.
17:00Maybe he was being a jerk at me.
17:02No, I could feel it.
17:04For a split second he was right there with me and then he just decided to walk away.
17:13Anyway, it doesn't matter, I guess I just need to get over it.
17:19Thank you so much for the company, but I think I might just need to be by myself for a bit, you know,
17:23go see a movie, that'd be great.
17:24Are you sure?
17:25Yeah, yeah. See you soon.
17:30It is not fair for him to treat her that way.
17:33Cash isn't a bad guy.
17:35I have never seen Eden like this. She's devastated.
17:40We should do something.
17:42I know how much you care about her, but this is their business, not ours.
17:50Alright, are you ready to go for a swim?
18:01Yeah.
18:03Thanks.
18:06So, what was this fight about?
18:12Well, things haven't been good for a while.
18:17He's so insecure and needy.
18:23And every time I try talking to him about it, we just end up yelling at each other.
18:29I can't take it anymore, it's unbearable.
18:35Have you guys thought about couples cancelling?
18:39Of course.
18:43But since he was made redundant, money's really tight.
18:49He's starting to resent my work too.
18:52Wow, that's not right.
18:53He thinks I've been using my clients to avoid being home with him.
19:00Which admittedly is somewhat true.
19:07Well, I'm sure you guys will work it out.
19:13This is becoming a bit of a habit, me leaning on you.
19:18It's your fault for being such a good listener.
19:20No one wants to see a marriage break up.
19:24No, I mean it.
19:26I'm really grateful for your support.
19:51Ah, that was a really good idea of yours.
19:54Can I get that in writing?
19:56No, the water's really nice.
19:58Hayden's missing out.
20:03Having you and Eden back in the bay, it's starting to feel like old times.
20:07Is that what you call bossing us around?
20:09As it should be.
20:21Hey, whatever you're thinking, don't.
20:24Hey, you!
20:26What the hell is wrong with you?
20:28Excuse me?
20:30My sister gave you her heart and soul and you walk away like it's nothing.
20:32It's a little bit more complicated than that, Abigail.
20:34Because you don't have the decency to tell her that you don't love her anymore.
20:37No, he needs to hear this.
20:39You don't deserve Eden.
20:41You're nothing but a sad loser who's going to end up alone forever.
20:43Enough.
20:45I am so sorry about that.
20:47Why?
20:49She's right.
20:58Abby, just stop for a second. That was way too far.
21:01It's what he deserved.
21:03The girl's all over the place.
21:05Understandable. She's still recovering.
21:07Cash seems to think that it might help with your recovery if the cops can put Dom away.
21:11Will you at least think about making a statement?
21:13Not happening.
21:15Are you really willing to let Dom get away with what he did to you?
21:19Why can't you fight for yourself, Abby?
21:21Because I hate myself for what I've done.
21:23Maybe talking to the police is a good first step to fixing that.
21:25You know it's tough.
21:27So are you.
