00:00You didn't indicate on the turn back there. Can I see your licence?
00:27Yeah, sure. I'll get you out of my wallet.
00:30How can I help you? I need to see Cash.
00:31Sorry, you can't... What is your problem?
00:33What's going on? He deliberately pulled Tim over and
00:36grilled him over nothing. That's harassment. I get it must hurt to see her with another
00:39guy, but Eaton has the right to date whoever she likes.
00:42This is not about jealousy. You broke up with her, Cash.
00:44That was your choice. And I didn't make that sacrifice so
00:47somebody else can mess up her life. Hey, what are you doing?
00:50Do you want to hang out? You alright?
00:52It's Eaton and Tim. It's just I can't handle it.
00:54Do you have a car? You want to tell me what's going on?
01:01What's the matter? Is it something to do with Theo?
01:04He has the hots for Abby. Like, big time.
01:09Oh, you like her too.
01:12Finally.
01:16Finally. Babe, I was gone for two days.
01:21Too long. Painful days.
01:25We missed you. I missed you.
01:29So what have you been up to? Mental health walk.
01:31Oh, that's great. What's up with you?
01:33I've been up to nothing. I've been up to nothing.
01:36I've been up to nothing. I've been up to nothing.
01:38I've been up to nothing. I've been up to nothing.
01:40Mental health walk. Orders from my counsellor.
01:42Oh, yeah? How'd it go?
01:45Good. Really good. So what happened with your parents? Is everything okay?
01:50Didn't you get my text? You texted and said it was complicated.
01:56Is it bad? No.
01:58Then what is it? Like I said, it's complicated.
02:02I'll tell you inside. Alright, Rose, if you're finished with me,
02:06I do have work to do. Mike, you're using the database for your
02:09personal research. Do you realise how much trouble you could
02:13be in if Sarge had caught you instead of me? Well, you're not wrong about that.
02:20Sorry, Rose. That won't happen again.
02:24Okay. Good.
02:29What about this harassment Eden was accusing you of?
02:31She's blowing that right out of proportion. Was she?
02:33Yeah, it was a traffic violation. Come on, Mike.
02:35It was a valid traffic violation and I don't write the law, I just uphold it.
02:39And what you said about protecting Eden? I stand by that.
02:44What exactly were you hoping you'd find out? Well, I don't know. Maybe he's got a record.
02:48Are you hearing yourself? Well, I've got a gut feeling about him
02:50and I'm not usually wrong about that kind of thing.
02:54Go home, Cash. I don't need to go.
02:57Yes, you do.
03:09Hey. So, have either of you had much to do with Abigail Fowler?
03:16Well, she's been in here a few times with Dr Levi.
03:20Um, what's your take on her? Well, she seems like a spirited young woman.
03:24Why? Theo's gone out with her.
03:27For a drive. Oh, is drive code for a date?
03:30Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I don't think Theo would be comfortable
03:33us discussing his love life. Oh, I better get on with that coffee for
03:37Rue. What's worrying you?
03:39Has it got something to do with the lie that he was talking about?
03:41No, I don't know. He said he sorted that.
03:44Well, just leave him alone. This romance could be good for him.
03:48It's been a while since he's been with someone.
03:51Here we go. Official Surf Club secretary.
03:55Oh, nothing's changed except my title. Have you got a pen?
03:58Time we started taking notes on these mongrels. I'll leave you to it. What's going on?
04:03They're jacking the rent up at the bait shop. Buy a lot.
04:06Well, how much exactly? Oh, enough to put me back in hospital.
04:10I mean, Dad, we have to check the recent lease. That can't be right.
04:13Well, of course it's not flaming right. But it might be legal.
04:17Well, I don't see how it can be. I mean, you've been there for decades.
04:20They're trying to get rid of me, Rue. It's obvious.
04:26How'd your group go? Yeah, surfing more in the sands than in
04:29the ocean. But they loved me. So, Abigail, would you say it's a crush or something more serious?
04:42Can we talk about something else? Better yet, nothing at all.
04:45Well, have you told her how you feel? Yeah, I made an announcement at a house
04:48meeting and put it on the roster. Hey, calm down.
04:53Sorry. It's cool. I get it.
04:58But she's probably not even interested, OK? Well, you'll never know if you don't try.
05:08Hey, you want to grab a drink at someone? Not really. What happened at your parents' place?
05:12Oh, just boring stuff talking about lighting, you know.
05:14Remy, stop it. No, I'm serious.
05:16They've got this big chandelier above the dining room table and my dad's
05:19trying to get up and play at work. Remy, you're scaring me.
05:21Are your mum and dad OK? Yeah, they're fine.
05:23Then can you please tell me what's going on?
05:27I don't know. I have this financial trust.
05:31Yeah? It's a trust that my grandmother set up
05:37before I was born or before she passed away. I can't remember.
05:40OK, and? Well, my parents wanted me to come around
05:45and sign the paperwork so that it could land in my account.
05:48And it's landed? You sure you don't want to get that drink?
05:50Yeah. A trust fund's a good thing, right? Yeah, well, that depends on how you look at it.
05:55Well, I'm looking at it like a holiday to Grace.
05:58You and me sailing the isles. Hey, I'm joking.
06:04Wait, how much money are we talking?
06:09Ten grand? Twenty?
06:13Higher? OK, just tell me.
06:20It's five million. Dollars?
06:25Yeah. This letter serves as notice
06:31of our intent to increase the monthly rent. Dad, this is double what you pay now.
06:36Yeah, I know. I told you, they're pushing me out.
06:39But this can't be legal. I mean, have you found the lease agreement yet?
06:42I'm trying. Flaming emails. Blah, blah, blah, which is in step with inflation.
06:46I mean, this is ridiculous. I mean, you've been there for decades.
06:49You did remind them of that, right? Yeah, just give me a minute.
06:53I want to get all my ducks in a row and then I'll let them have both barrels.
06:56You mark my words. What's up?
07:00I haven't seen you this fired up since I got back from the cruise.
07:04Yeah, well, it's a pity it's taken daylight robbery to remind me I'm alive.
07:09We're in it together, OK? Hang on, hang on, hang on.
07:13Here we go. Right. Now, let's see what we got here, eh?
07:18I can't quite get my head around it. Yeah, well, neither can I.
07:24You're a millionaire. I don't say it like that.
07:26Why not? You obviously don't get the whole money thing,
07:29do you? Yes, my huge student debt would agree with
07:31you on that one. I don't know why I bother telling you you
07:33don't get it. This is really bothering you, isn't it?
07:39Why? Because, Brie, I haven't done anything
07:41to deserve it, apart from be born. OK, then don't touch the trust fund,
07:47just let it sit there. What, so I can grow more interest and I
07:50can feel even worse? Hey.
07:54Hey. Hey, mate, what's up?
07:55Can I ask you a question? Yeah, yeah.
07:56About Tim and Eden. How long has that been going on for?
08:01Look, mate, last time I checked, it wasn't. Wrong.
08:04What? You know he's Abigail's counsellor?
08:06Yeah, of course you did. And you don't think that that's a problem?
08:09All right, that's enough, mate. I can't believe that you're not more
08:12worried about this.
08:24Cash, hold up. Hey, if you're here to lecture me about
08:26letting this go, then I don't want to hear it.
08:27Look, I don't know what you've heard, but they're not seeing each other anymore.
08:30Yeah, that's not what it looked like when I saw them all over each other in your backyard
08:33last night. Right, well, I've been away for a few days,
08:35so I don't... Wait, you saw them?
08:38What were you doing in our yard? I went over there to talk to Eden.
08:41Yeah, I heard some music. I wasn't spying. Sounds like you were.
08:44This isn't about me. He's Abigail's counsellor.
08:47What does that say about him? How do you know all this?
08:48What does it matter? Look, yeah, I have my questions about the
08:52guy too. Okay, great.
08:53So we're on the same page. So what are we going to do about it?
08:56Nothing. Nothing?
08:58Are you joking? No, I'm not.
08:59I don't trust this guy, Remy. That's not your call to make.
09:03I know I haven't made Eden's life easy, but I care about her.
09:07I know you do.
09:13I can close up today if you like. No, all good.
09:19You know, they just went for a drive. It might not mean anything.
09:24I hope you're right. She needs to be concentrating on herself
09:28right now. She's also entitled to have a little
09:30life. Yeah, I know that.
09:35Do you? Look, it's nice that you're being so caring, but I don't think Abby is as fragile
09:42as some people think. Hey.
09:46Hi. You feel like a drink upstairs in the next
09:49three to five minutes? Ooh, I think I need to give the boss a hand
09:53with this oven. Rough day?
09:56Yeah, you could say that. Speak and I shall listen.
09:59You know how struggling being Cassius was? Yeah, but I thought you figured that out.
10:03No, we did. But today he really pushed the friendship.
10:07Ooh, if I say that this might be my fault, do you promise not to arrest me?
10:12Go on. Well, I may have told him that Eden is
10:18seeing someone new. Timothy Russell?
10:20Yes. Tim somebody. So it is about that. Yeah.
10:25Well, I guess it was always going to be hard when one of them moved on.
10:28I just wish it didn't have to be. Me too.
10:31You can't just flick a switch and turn off your feelings.
10:36Could you lock up after all? Sure.
10:40See ya. He's fine.
10:43If you say so. And hey, about Cash.
10:46Maybe just give him a break. Look, I'm sure that you are coming from a
10:52good place, but you have to let this go. Okay.
10:54Yes, yes, I know. Save my breath.
10:57But it's true. It's not your problem. Look, I'm just worried about the guy.
11:01Yeah, so you've said. Yeah, and I know that you are too.
11:03And you know that Eden's not normally like this, eh?
11:06She loves her sister. You're right, she does.
11:08And like I said, I had the same problems with Tim.
11:11Okay, then why aren't you helping me look out for her?
11:13Because Cash, I have seen them together. She is happy.
11:17Okay, the happiest I've seen her in a long time.
11:20Is that something you want to put an end to? I just don't want her to get hurt.
11:24Okay, then what do you want? Because you are all over the place at the moment.
11:29I mean, you wanted to marry her, and then you didn't.
11:32You wanted to make her life easier by leaving, and then you didn't.
11:34I know all of this, Remy. What do you want? Do you want her back?
11:37Is that what this is about? Because if you do, just tell her.
11:41And if you don't, then leave her alone. I've had that bait shop for donkey's years.
11:49Well, hasn't the landlord got any actual values or sense of common decency?
11:55Or do they just dream about dollar sign? Is Mr. Stewart okay?
12:00No, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that.
12:02Oh, you betcha, mate. I'll put it in email.
12:05I'll put it in several flaming emails. What did they say?
12:12It's not up for discussion. Well, what happened to negotiating?
12:15Well, that was it, apparently. They throw in a bit of legal
12:19mumbo-jumbo and tell you it can't be changed. Still, what's it matter?
12:25Well, it matters, Dad, because it's part of your life. It's part of your identity.
12:30Well, I could have died a month ago, so do I really need to be wasting time on this stuff?
12:37Well, you didn't die. And in fact, I think you've got quite a bit of living left to do.
12:43If you say so.
12:44We're going to fight this, Dad.
12:45I don't know how much fight I got left in me, Ru.
12:49Well, I've got enough for both of us, so we'll be right.
12:56So what's this Tim guy like?
12:58He seems okay. I don't really know him well.
13:01But you don't think that him and Eden should be together?
13:04No, I don't. And he's got to know that dating his client's sister is wrong.
13:08Yeah, of course.
13:09I just don't know what he's playing at.
13:11Well, if it's worth anything, I think that you should let Eden make her own decisions.
13:15Log over to it.
13:16Exactly. So can we put that to the side and get back to the $5 million elephant in the room?
13:24Okay, I've been thinking about what you said before,
13:27about how you feel like you don't deserve it.
13:29I don't want to talk about this, please.
13:30I just think that you need to look at this differently.
13:32Please, can we drop this? It's a tricky situation that I need to get my head around.
13:36Well, if you want me to feel sorry for the poor little rich kid, that's not going to happen.
13:39Of course you don't understand.
13:40You're right, Remy. I don't understand,
13:42because I know about a hundred people that would do anything to be in your position right now.
13:47Clearly, empathy is not something you're working on in therapy.
13:49Get over yourself, Remy.
14:09You've brought me so many coffees lately, I thought I should return the favour.
14:18I'm here as a friend. Can I come in?
14:20Yeah. Thank you.
14:22No worries. Unless you're busy.
14:25I'm a little bit busy, actually, but thank you for the coffee.
14:30Busy, right.
14:32Didn't realise looking somebody up on social media was illegal.
14:35It's not, but it's not exactly healthy either. Not when it's an ex's new partner.
14:39Oh yeah? You've never done that?
14:40I came here to check on you, but now I really am worried.
14:42You don't need to worry about me.
14:44This is twice in one day.
14:45And the police database is not going to happen again, yeah? Message received.
14:48However, Rose, what I do in the privacy of my own home is-
14:50All I'm asking is that you'll think about why you're doing it.
14:53I'm doing this to protect Eden. Is there anything else that I can help you with?
14:58I guess I'll see you at work, then.
15:40Would you be open to an apology from a rich kid?
15:43Is it going to be followed by you complaining about money?
15:45Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful, but I did.
15:53Yeah. You really did.
15:57It's just, you've seen how my family live. How I lived.
16:03All that money comes from Mum's family, and they've never let Dad forget about it.
16:07I must have heard it a thousand times. Oh, you married well, didn't you?
16:10Yeah. That must have been hard. For you and your Dad.
16:15I asked him about it once. He said that he, uh, didn't care.
16:20That he loved my Mum, and that's all that mattered.
16:22He's right. That is all that matters.
16:25Yeah, that's not the point. Okay? I don't want to be part of a world that looks down their noses at people.
16:31But no one's asking you to. And that's what I was trying to say.
16:34But no one's asking you to. And that's what I was trying to say earlier.
16:38You have to look at this differently. How?
16:41Like an opportunity. So, yeah, you could do something frivolous with it.
16:46Or you could do something meaningful.
16:48Did you even knock? No. I wanted to surprise you. Surprise!
16:52Well, mission accomplished. I'm kind of done talking feelings for the day, if that's all right.
16:59Deal. These are the proofs from the shoot.
17:03I'm going to go get a drink. I'll see you in a bit.
17:05Bye.
17:05Bye.
17:06Bye.
17:06Bye.
17:06Bye.
17:06Bye.
17:07Bye.
17:07Bye.
17:07Bye.
17:07Bye.
17:07Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:08Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:09Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:10Bye.
17:11Bye.
17:11Bye.
17:11I'm kind of done talking feelings for the day, if that's all right.
17:13Deal. These are the proofs from the shoot.
17:18But if you're not interested in seeing who looks the hottest...
17:33These are great.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Really great. And I'm not just talking my ability to work the camera.
17:40Ah, there he is.
17:41Ah, we both look really good.
17:43Super hot, I think you mean.
17:46Thank you. I never would have thought about doing this myself.
17:50Taking the board shop to another level. That's why you hired me.
17:55See? That's my strong side.
18:07Great. We'll see you here soon. Thanks, Justin.
18:09Bye.
18:12Hey, so just put the booze and the food in the kitchen.
18:14We're having a party out the back.
18:15Oh, I see you've done this before.
18:19What? Are you changing your mind? Am I a bad person?
18:23Uh, not with that quality of champagne I just saw going by.
18:26Focus.
18:27Are you and Justin in?
18:28Uh, yes. Have you spoken to Eden?
18:30Yep. She's in.
18:31So is her new boyfriend.
18:32Oh, they really are serious.
18:35Yeah, I guess so.
18:36She specifically asked if you could come along.
18:40Yeah.
18:44Should I say something?
18:46Yeah, I think you might have to now.
18:53Cash.
18:58We're having a, uh, we're having a party.
19:02Yeah, catering van gave that one away.
19:04I take it that I'm not invited.
19:07Yeah, yeah, that's okay. I get it.
19:09Eden's going to be there.
19:10And Tim, I'm guessing?
19:13Yeah, she asked if you could come along.
19:14And you said yes, even after what we spoke about.
19:16All right, just stop there.
19:17I meant what I said before.
19:19Please just leave her alone.
19:33Guys, this looks amazing.
19:36Take them.
19:40Cheers.
19:42You look stunning.
19:44What, better than the active wear?
19:46Not necessarily.
19:48Hey, how you going, mate?
19:50Good. Welcome.
19:52Oh, look at this.
19:53Don't mind if I do. Thank you very much.
19:55It's French.
19:58Okay, so, uh, want to tell me what this is all about?
20:02Yeah, that is one very good question.
20:04Hang on.
20:05Oh, is this a wedding surprise?
20:08Oh, it is the first time I've heard of it.
20:10You do know it's not a wedding celebration.
20:12I'll tell you all when the rest get here, okay?
20:15Because that doesn't sound mysterious at all.
20:17Okay, I'll see you inside.
20:19All right, I'll go with good.
20:23Wait, so this, um, this isn't just a fancy party for you and your friends?
20:27No, not necessarily.
20:30I know what I want to do with the money.
21:08Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
21:17I just need to speak to you for one second.
21:18Get out.
21:18I know that you don't want to see me.
21:19Yeah, then why are you here?
21:21What's going on?
21:22This guy's not good for you, Eden.
21:23You don't know what you're talking about.
21:24I do know that this is wrong.
21:26You don't just get to go in there, have a go at Eden,
21:28and expect her to stand there and take it.
21:30You need to back off.
21:31Hey, hey, Cas, hey, Cas, hey, hey, walk away.
21:34Walk away.
21:35It's not worth it.
21:35Come on.
21:36Are you okay?
