00:00You up for a quick chat?
00:11Just wanted to know if you need to talk to someone in the end.
00:13I don't know what to do about Salt.
00:15So I feel like I owe it to Felicity to stay on and look after the place for her.
00:18But I've made Eden so upset that she's quit.
00:20Salt.
00:21It's a great restaurant.
00:22At the end of the day, it's just bricks and mortar.
00:27I'm not going to be at Salt anymore.
00:29I'm going to step back, just be a silent partner.
00:32Is this really what you want?
00:34Yes.
00:35You're the mechanic who fixed my car.
00:40How long have you had this job?
00:41A couple months.
00:42A couple of months?
00:43Wow, the circus just keeps getting better and better.
00:46Okay, I don't think you can speak to him like that.
00:48He did say that he was sorry.
00:49I'll take care of all the mechanical work.
00:52The garage is going to take on all the expenses.
00:55I just don't know what I'm going to do in the meantime until I work out who's going
00:58to drive me around.
00:59I'll do it.
01:00What?
01:01I'll be your driver.
01:02I can't wait for her car to be fixed and for her to be out of our lives.
01:07Yeah, definitely.
01:08This is an amazing opportunity.
01:09You're going to say yes, right?
01:10Wrong.
01:11Why not?
01:12I entered that competition to share my art, not to be represented by some big shot gallery
01:24owner.
01:25Most artists would dream of that, Marley.
01:28I'm not an artist.
01:29Well, I'm pretty sure you have a certificate on the wall that says otherwise.
01:32I've only done one painting.
01:33Then get to it and make some more.
01:35That's what I had to do when I had my music deal.
01:37It doesn't work like that for me.
01:39I'll call the guy back and say thanks, but no thanks.
01:42No, no, you at least have to meet with the guy.
01:45It's a waste of time.
01:46Oh.
01:47Hey Cash, you in there?
01:48Yeah, John, coming in.
01:49I know I promised to stop at the food drops, but Marilyn insisted.
02:02Got your mail too.
02:03Thank you, John.
02:04My pleasure.
02:05So, any more thoughts on salt?
02:06I'm taking your advice, actually.
02:07I'm going to step back.
02:08How's that feel?
02:09It's a relief that Eden doesn't have to change her job.
02:10No, if you'd look on the bright side, you'd still be business partners with Mackenzie
02:23with none of the hard work.
02:25Sounds like money for nothing to me.
02:31What's wrong?
02:35Ultimate gift?
02:37It's the people who organised the organ donation.
02:40One of the recipients has reached out.
02:42They've written me a letter.
02:49Just wish there was more I could do for Tane.
02:51He was so angry on the phone.
02:53Well, there's no point taking it out on you.
02:55I get why he's worried.
02:56And of course, Perry's father has denied everything.
03:00We've been very clear with him.
03:02He needs to stay away from Perry.
03:04What, you think he'll listen?
03:06I can keep an eye on him, but this court case can't come soon enough.
03:09Rose, I know you're frustrated, but you're doing the best you can.
03:14Hey.
03:15Hey.
03:16And just the usual things.
03:17Coming right up.
03:18Hmm.
03:19Hmm.
03:20You used to date Marley.
03:21And you used to date his brother.
03:22What, you want to exchange bad romance stories?
03:23You're very funny, Rose, but no.
03:24I was actually wondering.
03:25No, no, no, no.
03:26No, no, no.
03:27No, no, no, no.
03:28No, no, no, no.
03:29No, no, no, no.
03:30No, no, no, no.
03:31No, no, no, no.
03:32No, no, no, no.
03:34I'm just wondering.
03:35Mm-hmm?
03:36How did you get him to do something that he didn't want to do?
03:38Why?
03:39Well, some gallery owner wants to represent him as an artist.
03:42Oh?
03:43Which is amazing, but he doesn't even want to meet up to talk about it.
03:45What's his problem?
03:46I'm not sure.
03:47Lack of confidence, maybe?
03:48Are we talking about the same Marley Hudson?
03:51Well, something's holding him back.
03:53And I mean, I can't seem to get through to him.
03:57Oh.
04:04Having fun there?
04:07It's not from the art competition.
04:09Kirby got pranked.
04:12Ah, sending to the family group chat?
04:14Mm-hmm.
04:15Mum wants to see it.
04:16Mum's surprised.
04:18Ah, she'll probably tell me not to get a swollen head about it.
04:22You should tell her that a big-time gallery owner wants to represent you.
04:26Kirby told you?
04:27Yeah.
04:28Congratulations.
04:29Thanks.
04:31You know, you should seriously think about it.
04:33Offers like that don't come along every day.
04:34It's not an offer.
04:35He just wants to meet up and have a chat.
04:37It could be the start of something big.
04:38See?
04:39Everyone agrees.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Not everyone.
04:43Why are you doing this?
04:45I'm not doing anything.
04:46Yeah?
04:47Then you can close up.
04:49I'm going home.
04:57Oh, hey.
04:58Usual to go?
04:59Just the one coffee today.
05:02Justin not at the garage?
05:04He was.
05:05And then he took off.
05:06Where to?
05:07Who knows?
05:08He's been in and out for days.
05:10Like he can't stand spending more than a few hours with me.
05:13That is not true.
05:15I know he's being run up his feet.
05:18I think he's still mad at me.
05:19What for?
05:21Claudio's accident.
05:22What else could it be?
05:24If anything, he should be mad at her for being so rude to you.
05:28Anyway, the whole thing is being dealt with.
05:30You sure?
05:32Of course I'm sure.
05:33Justin would have told me if he still had a problem.
05:42You took your time.
05:44Would have been quicker if I didn't have to pick you up in the middle of nowhere.
05:47It felt like a walk.
05:48My place is just over there.
05:49No.
05:50Oh, for the last time, I am not a taxi.
05:52You can ride up front.
05:53Oh, and I'll just spread out all my paperwork on the dashboard, will I?
05:56Seems like a safety hazard.
05:58Come on.
05:59Let's go.
06:04What is it you do exactly?
06:06I do home assessments for veterans.
06:11Oh.
06:13Right.
06:14You sound surprised.
06:16No, it's just a job that I thought would require a little bit more…
06:20Patience?
06:21Kindness?
06:23Yeah.
06:25Well, as you can imagine, the work can be quite challenging.
06:27So I put up a wall to protect myself.
06:30It can make me seem cold.
06:32Just ask my husband.
06:34A mate of mine's son came back from Afghanistan a paraplegic.
06:39He had a rough time adjusting.
06:42I can imagine.
06:44Even without the physical difficulties that PTSD some veterans face can be challenging.
06:52Like with my client today, he's been struggling.
06:54So we'll sit down together and talk and I'll try and work out what kind of help he needs.
07:04Now do you see why I need your help?
07:09When I made the decision to donate for the city's organs,
07:12I remember reading something at the hospital about correspondence,
07:16but I didn't think that it would be this soon.
07:20Well, can I ask? What's the cover letter say?
07:24It says that the city's organs were successfully transferred to five separate recipients.
07:34Mate, that's enormous.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Five people got to live because of her.
07:42Can I open it?
07:43Yeah, just open it.
07:44Just open it.
07:48I wasn't expecting it.
07:52Oh, there's no hurry.
08:03I don't think you tried hard enough with Marley.
08:05So now this is my fault?
08:06What exactly did he say to you before I got there?
08:08Nothing specific.
08:10But I think you're onto something about the whole low self-esteem thing.
08:13Yeah?
08:14I don't think he's going to change his mind.
08:16Well, if you just talk to him again.
08:18I'm sorry, curbs, I tried, I failed and I'm out.
08:20Rose, Rose, I just think that...
08:22I have things to do. Good luck.
08:24Really? I'm the only one that cares about this.
08:27Why don't you just leave the poor bloke alone?
08:28What?
08:29I mean, he told you he's not interested in doing this.
08:32What if this is exactly what he's meant to be doing with his life?
08:35But if he doesn't give it a chance, he'll never know.
08:38That's actually a pretty good point.
08:40Exactly.
08:42Which is why I'm not going to give up.
08:50It says here you're under no obligation to read the letter.
08:53You can even send it back.
08:57But also, it could be healing.
08:59Healing?
09:10You want me to go?
09:11No.
09:14No, you stay. That'd be good.
09:35Dear donor family.
09:38Words can never express how grateful I am to you and your loved one.
09:44I have struggled with a heart defect for most of my life.
09:47Without a heart and lung transplant, I could have died at any moment.
09:53But thanks to your generosity and compassion, I now...
10:00Yeah.
10:05I now have the chance to live, to travel, go to uni, and maybe even be a mum one day.
10:18None of this would have been possible without the generosity of your loved one.
10:24Although I've been blessed with life, I'm filled with sadness that someone you loved lost theirs.
10:34Please remember that they saved me.
10:37Part of them will be with me always.
10:41And for this gift, I will be forever grateful.
10:45Thanks to them, and to you, I am free.
11:02How'd it go with the client?
11:04Uh, good. This guy's been a tough nut to crack, but I think we really made some progress.
11:10I know how it feels.
11:12I'll just keep driving.
11:16Your place, right?
11:18Actually, I feel like a coffee. Can you take me to Yabby Creek?
11:21Uh, I gotta get back.
11:28Can I get that?
11:30Uh, yeah, yeah, it's just my husband.
11:33Hey Eric, what's up?
11:36Yeah, look, I'm just in the middle of work, so can I...
11:41Well, somebody has to pay the bills, and I did say that...
11:45I told you a thousand times, I can work.
11:47No, driving is the problem.
11:50No, just hang on.
11:52Uh, Justin, can you pull over just for a second?
11:55Yeah.
12:01No, just hang on.
12:08Hey.
12:10What? That's none of your business. I've got it sorted.
12:13Can we talk about this when I get home, please?
12:19Good to know her death helped other people.
12:22I think I'd like to talk to this woman.
12:25Find out more about her. Tell her about Felicity.
12:28No, I don't think they're going to let you do that, mate.
12:33What are you looking for?
12:35Oh, they gave me some pamphlets on it at the hospital, but I never actually ended up reading them.
12:39Well, correspondence has to be anonymous. You can't meet her face to face.
12:43Why's that? She reached out to me.
12:46But it says here you can write a hundred letters and they'll pass them all.
12:50That doesn't feel like enough.
12:52Yeah, I know, but it's the best you're going to do.
12:54Well, I don't understand that.
12:59Ready to get going?
13:01Uh, yeah, in a minute.
13:03Anyone who'd think you didn't want to go home?
13:05Anyone who'd think you didn't want to go home?
13:09Why would you say that?
13:12I know when someone's in avoidance mode.
13:16Something going on at home that's bothering you?
13:20What are you implying?
13:22Is your husband...
13:25Is he a problem?
13:28My husband?
13:30No.
13:31No. At least, not in the way that you mean.
13:37Oh, so what's the deal?
13:40It hasn't been easy with my arm like this.
13:43For either of us.
13:45Eric's had to take on a lot more work at home, which he hates.
13:51And he, uh...
13:55Hey, it's okay. I can keep it secret.
14:01He lost his job a while ago.
14:04And he's been leaning on me. A lot.
14:09And it's exhausting.
14:12Especially after days like this.
14:16Why didn't you tell him that I was driving you around?
14:19Well, because the last time you dropped me off, you gave me the third degree.
14:23Ah, is that why you wanted me to pick you up in the middle of nowhere?
14:27I didn't have the energy to go through it again.
14:30He's just so... clingy.
14:35And sometimes I need a break.
14:39Does that make me a bad person?
14:42No.
14:45I don't think so.
14:48Everyone argues. Everyone needs some space now and then, you know?
14:54I think it's totally normal.
14:59We should get going.
15:01Yeah.
15:06Uh, Justin. Thank you.
15:24Come in.
15:26Hello.
15:27Hello.
15:29Got a sec?
15:31You better be here about literally anything but the gallery guy.
15:35Hate to disappoint.
15:37You are like a dog with a bone.
15:40Yeah. Because I know how rare chances like this are.
15:43What if this guy's expecting to meet a real artist?
15:48I'm just some guy that runs a board shop.
15:52Anyone who can paint like that, Molly, is a real artist.
15:56What if I can't do anything like that again?
15:59Of course you can.
16:03Maybe. I don't know.
16:09You know that painting came from a bad time.
16:14I don't know if I want to go back there.
16:17Art can come out of real joy too.
16:21It's just one conversation. You're not signing away your soul.
16:26Yeah.
16:32Righto. Next up, the patrol rosters.
16:36I take it Dana's still happy to work with you?
16:40You still with us, Palmer?
16:43Sorry, mate.
16:45Look, I'm worried about Cash.
16:48I paid him a visit this morning and he's got a lot on his mind.
16:52Well, I'm sure Eden will sort him out.
16:53I doubt it. They broke up.
16:56It's true.
17:00Hey!
17:02Where have you been? I thought you'd be hours ago.
17:05I just had a lot on.
17:07Sorry about today. How'd you go? Did you get everything done?
17:10Yeah, a fair bit's come in. And tomorrow is my day off, so you'll be on your own.
17:14Yeah, OK. We'll deal with that.
17:17OK. I might call Perry and let him know I'm good to hang out then.
17:21So, what exactly have you been up to today?
17:25I got called out to a breakdown and then had to deal with some suppliers. It was endless.
17:29Do you really need to change suppliers?
17:31If only it was that easy.
17:33Poor thing. Well, sit down. I'll make you some dinner.
17:35OK.
17:37Hey, fellas.
17:39Hi, mate.
17:40Hey.
17:49Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too.
17:52Right.
17:55Well, how'd it go?
17:57It was fine.
17:59When's the meeting?
18:01Next week.
18:03This is so exciting!
18:05We're just having a chat.
18:07Well, that's how it starts.
18:08Just don't agree to anything until you've had a good look over the contract with a lawyer.
18:14No one's said anything about contracts yet.
18:16They will.
18:18Oh, and don't forget, first offer, just a starting point.
18:22And you might want to shop yourself around just in case you can get a better deal with someone.
18:26Are you sure you don't want to represent me?
18:28OK, yes, I will chill out.
18:30But I'm always here if you need any advice.
18:34Want it or not.
18:35Want it or not.
18:37I'm kidding.
18:40Hey.
18:43Thanks for giving me a push.
19:05Hey.
19:35Dear recipient.
19:49Thank you for your beautiful letter.
19:53It means a lot to hear from you.
19:55I hope Theo is having a relaxing morning.
19:58He's been a bit anxious the last few days.
20:01Really?
20:03You haven't noticed?
20:05Oh, we haven't really crossed paths much this week.
20:07Yeah, about that.
20:09He thinks you're avoiding him.
20:11What? No, I'm not.
20:13That's what I said.
20:15Oh, I've got to get this.
20:17It might be work.
20:19Oh, I'm sorry.
20:20That's what I said.
20:22Oh, I've got to get this.
20:24It might be work.
20:26Uh, maybe.
20:28It's just one of the suppliers.
20:34Hey.
20:37Today?
20:39Look, I would love to help you out, OK, but I've got a business to run.
20:44You were supposed to notify me of your appointments.
20:47That was the deal.
20:51OK.
20:55Send me the details, I'll be there.
21:04How are things looking?
21:06Nothing has changed since you asked me an hour ago.
21:08What are you doing?
21:10Just checking the trolley.
21:12Which you know has already been checked.
21:16I'm going to need you to sit down, please, so Dr Kahneman can address that wound.
21:18Mm-hmm.
21:20All right, Brady, do you want me to book a CT?
21:22Dr Cameron, are you booking the CT or not?
21:24Dr Cameron?
21:26I'm here if you need to talk.
21:28I don't.
