00:00You know, I'm just trying to wrap my head around why you're not telling Leah the truth
00:11about Claudia.
00:12She needs this for her job.
00:13Maybe if you explain that to Leah, then she will understand.
00:16There's no point getting her all worked up when this will all be over in a couple of
00:19weeks.
00:20I didn't know where else to go.
00:21What's happened?
00:22I had a fight with my husband.
00:24This is becoming a bit of a habit.
00:25Me leaning on you?
00:26It's your fault for being such a good listener.
00:28Dear donor family, thanks to your generosity and compassion, I now...
00:34I now have the chance to live.
00:36And for this gift, I will be forever grateful.
00:39Dear recipient, thank you for your beautiful letter.
00:41It means a lot to hear from you.
00:43I can't.
00:44Okay?
00:45I can't.
00:46I know that he still loves me, but he just... he won't let himself be happy.
00:51He can't even try.
00:52I cannot believe that he would do that to you.
00:53Hey.
00:54Abby.
00:55Hey, you!
00:56What the hell is wrong with you?
00:57You are nothing but a sad loser who's going to end up alone forever.
01:00I am so sorry about that.
01:01Why?
01:02She's right.
01:05In the middle of the hill, there's a cool light breeze.
01:07Zoom out, panorama, roll eyes on me.
01:10Zoom out, panorama, roll eyes on me.
01:14Marley!
01:16Hey!
01:17She's back!
01:19How was the big smoke?
01:20Good!
01:21Yeah?
01:22Big.
01:23Oh, I bet.
01:24And did everything go alright with your solicitor?
01:25Yeah, kind of.
01:27The meeting was... interesting.
01:30Anyway, I will fill you in later because I am in desperate need for some caffeine.
01:33Okay, well let me wrap up here and I'll join you.
01:36Oh, okay.
01:38So, how are things?
01:41Everything going okay with Abby?
01:45Everything seems to be alright.
01:46Just keeping her busy.
01:47Oh.
01:48So things really are calming down then?
01:50I'm meeting with that gallery owner, Robert, after work.
01:55What?
01:56That's such a big deal.
01:58Abigail.
02:00Abby, just stop for a second.
02:01That was way too far.
02:02It's what he deserves.
02:04The guy just lost his sister.
02:05Yeah, and I'm protecting mine.
02:07Levi, what's going on?
02:09Hey, can you wait with Abby for a second?
02:12I need to go find Cash.
02:13I'll be right back.
02:21Oh.
02:26Hey Cash.
02:29Saved it.
02:31I've had enough fouls for one day.
02:32I have to apologize for how Abby treated you.
02:35She was totally out of line.
02:36Don't worry about it.
02:38She doesn't understand how complicated this is for you.
02:40And you do.
02:43Eden might have given me some indication.
02:46Do you reckon we can talk?
02:48I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, but I have to get back to work.
02:54Do you want a ride somewhere?
02:56Um, do you mind if I just sit here for a bit and gather myself?
03:00I'll stay out of your way, I promise.
03:03Yeah, sure.
03:04Thanks.
03:05I knew you'd understand.
03:06Especially since things are a little tricky with your wife too.
03:10Um, sorry?
03:12I thought you said Leah didn't know about our arrangement.
03:17Uh...
03:19It's not the same thing.
03:22I'm...
03:24I'm sorry, um...
03:25I just thought she...
03:29Is everything alright?
03:31Actually...
03:33Claudia, no, it's not.
03:35We shouldn't be doing this.
03:37What?
03:38What we're doing, it's wrong.
03:41We're just having a cuppa and a chat.
03:45We agreed that I would take you to and from your clients, and that's it.
03:51This is not a social arrangement.
03:56Right.
03:59Um...
04:01Of course.
04:03I am sorry for inconveniencing you, so I will just leave you to it.
04:09So apart from running every day, what are you doing for yourself?
04:13Nothing.
04:15It's all good, mate. I'm doing alright, eh?
04:18Are you talking to anyone? Like, a counsellor?
04:22Look, I appreciate you checking in on me.
04:25But you don't have to worry about Abby.
04:27Look, what she said was totally out of line.
04:30No, no, it's okay. She's just protecting Eden. I get it.
04:34Yeah.
04:35She's protecting Eden. I get it.
04:38Yeah, that.
04:41And, um...
04:43Well...
04:44And what?
04:46Abby's been going through a really tough time, and Eden and I are just trying to support her through it.
04:52Is everything okay?
04:56Yeah.
04:57Abby's, uh, recovering from addiction.
05:01Her withdrawal has been really, really tough.
05:06Hey, I'm sorry.
05:08That must be tough for all of you.
05:11You don't know the half of it.
05:14Don't you have a job to get back to?
05:16I'm the boss.
05:17If I want to chill, I can chill.
05:19Okay, here we go.
05:21There you go.
05:22You know what? I don't need...
05:23Abby!
05:24No, I told you, I don't need either of you holding my hand.
05:26No, that is not what we're trying to do here.
05:28Okay, listen, I know that Cash is not your favourite person right now, but he really is struggling.
05:34So that makes what he's doing to Eden okay? Hurting her, breaking her heart?
05:37No.
05:38Then what are you trying to say, Mackenzie?
05:39Like, things are a mess.
05:42And Eden and Cash are both hurting.
05:46Abby...
05:48He lost his sister.
05:50Can you imagine how Liv I would feel if he lost you or Eden?
05:54He would be devastated.
05:56He's been a while. Where is he?
06:02Oh, that's Abigail. I should get going.
06:06So, where's this Dom guy now?
06:08Probably running his business from that house.
06:12So you didn't report him to the police?
06:14All I've been thinking about is just getting Abby through this.
06:16Right, so he could just be out there doing this to somebody else.
06:18Cash!
06:19All I've been thinking about is just getting Abby through this.
06:21Right, so he could just be out there doing this to somebody else.
06:23Cash!
06:24I would love nothing more than to see this guy rot in a prison cell, but it has to be Abby's call.
06:29She's just so sensitive at the moment.
06:32I don't want to give her any excuse to start using again.
06:34Okay, alright, alright.
06:36It might really help Abby knowing that this guy's behind bars.
06:41Okay.
06:43I'll talk to her and I'll see if I can...
06:45Yeah.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Listen, Rosa's working today. She's really good at this kind of thing. If Abigail decides...
07:31Dear donor family, thank you so much.
07:36I was happy to hear from you as I wasn't sure if you wanted to connect.
07:40But I'm really glad you did right.
07:43I promise I will think of your loved one every day and thank them for giving me my life back.
07:49I will honour their life with the way I live mine.
07:54I just wish I could thank you in person.
07:57Forever grateful.
08:06Cash seems to think that it might help with your recovery if the cops can put Dom away.
08:11You went to the enemy and you told them everything?
08:14How could you?
08:15I'm sorry, I was just trying to explain...
08:17No, what happened to doctor-patient confidentiality then?
08:19I'm your brother, not your doctor.
08:21Same rules apply.
08:22No, they don't.
08:23Well, they should.
08:26Don't hold back, I'm sure you've got an opinion.
08:29Well, I'm with Levi. We will support you, but it's your decision.
08:33Look, Abby, I know this is a big deal.
08:37Will you at least think about making a statement?
08:39Not happening. End of story.
08:43Can I go now?
08:45Sure.
08:48I get that this is hard, but you gotta be stronger with her.
08:53I just wanted to know that she's safe.
08:55I know, but this isn't the first time that she's shut you down the second the conversation gets hard.
08:59I'm not going to push her into something she's not ready for.
09:01But that's the problem though, isn't it? She's not going to do anything unless you push her.
09:07Trust yourself.
09:09You can do this.
09:11Can.
09:25Hey, handsome.
09:26What are you doing here?
09:29You didn't answer my calls, so I thought I'd come and check.
09:33Sorry, been under the pump.
09:35Customer's going on a road trip, wants their car back today.
09:38Okay.
09:40Wow, that's nice.
09:43Someone left that in one of the cars.
09:46Do you think the customer will want it back? I think it's my size.
09:51I'm joking.
09:52Alright.
09:54So, how much longer until you're done?
09:58A little while. I've got to get this car fixed.
10:01Are you sure? Because Leo has plans.
10:06So do we, just the two of us.
10:08That sounds good. I will see you at home later.
10:13Okay. Well, won't be long.
10:17Bye.
10:24Hey, you heading out to meet the gallery owner?
10:28Soon.
10:30Hey, you never said what happened with the solicitor.
10:33Ah, well, she gave me a lot to think about.
10:37Basically, if Cash doesn't want to be active in the business anymore,
10:40then that opens up a ton of options.
10:42Like what?
10:44Like, I could buy him out, or we could sell, split the profits, move on.
10:49Anyway, I'm putting all of that in the too hard basket for now.
10:53You know what's easier?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Picking out a shirt.
10:57Yep, my turn.
10:59I don't know. Which one?
11:02Hey, this is supposed to be exciting. Why are you being weird?
11:07Just, I don't know where all this is heading.
11:11Well, he's a gallery owner, so I guess that's a hint.
11:16Very funny, mate.
11:17Oh, come on. It's one chat. What's the harm in hearing him out?
11:21You know what? It's this one. This is the one.
11:24And you will be great.
11:29Hey.
11:40It's been a great day for you, hasn't it?
11:43Feels like there's never going to be another good one.
11:46The path to recovery is never a straight one, Abby.
11:48Levi, please. I don't have the energy for a pep talk.
11:51I understand.
11:53You've been through a lot.
11:56I hope you know how proud of you I am.
12:01If you're serious about getting better, you have to start doing more.
12:04I'm doing everything that I can.
12:06You're not open to going to counselling.
12:08You're not going to talk to the police.
12:10I told you, it's too much.
12:13Are you really willing to let Dom get away with what he did to you?
12:18I just want to forget what happened and move on.
12:21Why can't you fight for yourself, Abby?
12:23Why can't you fight for yourself, Abby?
12:26Fight for yourself like you fought for Eden.
12:28Because I hate myself for what I've done.
12:32Maybe talking to the police is a good first step to fixing that.
12:37I know it's tough. So are you.
12:40And I will be right there with you.
12:48Cash, hey. Is everything okay?
12:50Yeah, can we talk privately?
12:52I was just about to head out on patrol.
12:53Please, this is important.
12:58I've been writing to the person who received Felicity's heart and lungs.
13:01Wow, that's huge. How did that happen?
13:04And how do I fit in?
13:06Hey, I'll be with you in a second.
13:08No, no, no. Why don't you see them first and I can wait.
13:14Hey, I'm really sorry.
13:18It's okay.
13:20Abigail's decided to take your advice.
13:23Well, I think you're making the right call.
13:26How can I help?
13:33I want to report a crime.
13:41Thanks for meeting me.
13:43After your little speech earlier, I'm surprised you ever want to see me again.
13:48You could have just posted this to me.
13:50Yeah, I know I could have.
13:52But I wanted the chance to apologise for how I handled things before.
14:00I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. That wasn't my intention.
14:06So you don't hate me?
14:10No, no. Not at all.
14:13I actually really admire you, but I feel really bad that Leah doesn't know the truth.
14:18And that's not your fault, you know. That's on me.
14:22It's okay. I get it. Believe me.
14:26And I understand if you want to back out of our deal. I can find someone else to drive me.
14:30No, no, no. I don't want to back out of our deal.
14:33Really?
14:34But I've got a business to run and a wife at home to keep happy, so...
14:39That's fine.
14:40I promise not to overstep again.
14:41Okay. Thank you.
14:44Dustin, I just want you to know I think you're a really good person.
14:49And your friendship has been a really positive thing for me.
14:54And I appreciate that, but again, I just want to be really, really clear.
14:59This is a business arrangement.
15:02As soon as you're able to drive, we'll be done.
15:11And this is the only address you met him at?
15:15Yeah.
15:17So what happens now?
15:19We'll notify the local area command and they'll take him in for questioning.
15:24Would you be prepared to go in and identify him if necessary?
15:31Alright.
15:33We'll be in touch.
15:35Come on.
15:41Thanks.
15:49Hey. Thank you.
15:56I take it you know what that's about?
15:58Yeah. Levi's been asking me for some advice.
16:00Oh, okay. Well, sorry you had to wait.
16:03You need a favour?
16:05I need you to find out who's writing these letters.
16:07Isn't the whole transplant routine meant to be anonymous?
16:10It is, but you can call the company that handles it and tell them that you need the information for a case.
16:30What are you talking about?
16:32Well, I'd do it myself, but I've got to give them my name.
16:34You want me to make up a fake police investigation? Is that what you're saying?
16:37No, I can't do that.
16:38Can you just read the letters before you make a decision?
16:46Great shirt.
16:48I had my personal stylist pick it out for me.
16:51Oh.
16:53So is that why you're back here? To supervise my meeting?
16:56Oh, don't flatter yourself. No, I'm here to meet Levi.
17:00That's...
17:05Good luck.
17:07Thanks.
17:13Marleya?
17:14Marley's fine.
17:21Oh, hey.
17:23Hey.
17:25What have you been up to?
17:27Actually, I just gave my statement to the police.
17:30Abby, that's so great.
17:33We saw Cash too.
17:35That's not who said it.
17:37It just made me see things differently.
17:40What? I didn't even think that you heard that.
17:45I just wasn't ready to admit that you had a point.
17:49What's the latest with you? Any progress with the solicitor?
17:53I need to make a decision, but that can wait. Let's focus on you.
17:57What you did was so brave.
18:00These are really moving.
18:02Okay, so you can see why I want to reach out?
18:04You know, there are rules in place to stop families from meeting DOTA recipients.
18:09Sorry, do you want to read the letters again? Come on.
18:13Look, I get you're in a really emotional place with this right now, but it can't happen.
18:18I don't think that it's right that two people who want to meet each other are being kept apart because of a stupid rule.
18:23Look, the rules are in place for a reason, to keep you both safe.
18:26This is different.
18:27You don't know anything about this person, Cash.
18:29Excuse me, I know that my sister's heart is beating in her chest and I know that she's grateful and I know that she wants to meet me.
18:35I'm sorry, I can't do this.
18:58I'll be selling your work through my gallery.
19:01I don't have many, or actually any other paintings.
19:06I know potential when I see it.
19:08How many pieces would I need?
19:12Initially, at least 15 to start. We want to have enough for a solo exhibition.
19:19I do actually have a business to run.
19:21You're not going to have time for that. You'll need to make a choice.
19:28So I'd be a full-time artist?
19:32We're talking big money. Six figures.
19:37You're kidding.
19:39Have a think. Give me a call.
19:41I will. Thank you.
19:50That looked positive.
20:58Bed rest is officially over. That was the longest two days of my life.
21:02She has to meet with Tana for lunch anyway, so instead of it being inside, let's go to the beach.
21:06Papa's been on bed rest, so I want her to get outside and enjoy herself.
21:09Very low-key, nothing fancy.
21:11I know exactly what to do.
21:14It would just be so awkward if they thought I was stupid.
21:18I'm not stupid.
21:20I'm not stupid.
21:22I'm not stupid.
21:24I'm not stupid.
21:25It would just be so awkward if they thought I was setting them up.
21:28Really? What did you do?
21:33That's a bit weird.
21:35Interesting.
