00:00♪ Closer each day
00:03♪ Home in the way
00:08Wait, shooting tomorrow morning, Marley.
00:10Are you even listening to me?
00:11Yep. Pics, boards, got it.
00:13Camera's gonna love me.
00:14Tickets and yourself, Marge?
00:16Um, why not?
00:17This face, it's gonna be the face of the board shop.
00:20Oh, really?
00:21Oh my gosh, tell us more!
00:23I can feel it, this is gonna be the beginning of something big.
00:26Yeah.
00:27You will probably become some minor celebrity.
00:29We even have a fan base.
00:30Can you just give me a minute?
00:37Bree, you okay?
00:38Uh-huh.
00:39She wouldn't stop looking at the stove.
00:41Like, checking that it was off.
00:42Besides that, she seems less anxious.
00:44But I'll continue to keep an eye on her.
00:45Cheers, bud.
00:46Appreciate that.
00:48Are you angry at me?
00:49That depends.
00:50On what?
00:51How many people have you got spying on me?
00:52Let's concentrate on what we can do in the lead up to the court case.
00:56Someone must have seen something.
00:58If I can track them down...
00:59They can back up his story in court, prove Carl was violent.
01:02I'm gonna take a drive out to his old neighborhood, knock on some doors.
01:05We were trying to see if there were any witnesses to your dad's abuse.
01:09You're wasting your time.
01:10I'm sorry, mate, we tried.
01:11And we will keep trying.
01:29There is a better place
01:37We will rise above
01:46Hey!
01:47The water's nice if you want to jump in.
01:53You okay?
01:59How's Perry going?
02:03Not too great. We had another meeting with a solicitor last night.
02:08How's his defence looking?
02:11Perry's still the only witness to his dad's abuse.
02:15So Jane hasn't found anyone to back him up either?
02:18Which leaves Perry with nothing. She basically said we need to be realistic.
02:24Which means?
02:25We need a miracle to keep him out of prison.
02:35Theo!
02:37Yes, am I glad to see one of my very best, very talented, amazing friends.
02:43What do you want?
02:45A hand taking these boards down to the beach.
02:47Ah, well the last time I checked I'm not your employee.
02:49Yes, but you are a very, very, very good person who would never abandon a friend in need.
02:56Marley's disappeared on me and I need to go find him ASAP because a photographer is joining me.
03:01Please.
03:03Alright, fine.
03:05I'm already going.
03:06Okay, thanks.
03:11Hey Marley, what's going on?
03:14Nothing. It's nothing.
03:17Sure about that?
03:18Here you are. What's going on?
03:21I'm going to Levi.
03:22Well, less talking, more posing.
03:24Okay, good luck with whatever that is.
03:26Bye.
03:28Come on, starting the lights.
03:31We had a deal.
03:32I'm sorry.
03:33You said that you would trust me to handle things but obviously you don't.
03:36Yes, I know how it looks.
03:37What were you thinking? That you would just tell me whatever I wanted to hear and then do whatever you wanted?
03:42That is ridiculous. That is not what I was doing.
03:43I thought that I could trust you.
03:46Can I explain myself?
03:49All I was trying to do was make sure that you're okay when I'm not around.
03:52You could have asked me.
03:53And would you have told me the truth?
03:54Excuse me?
03:55I know that I said that you can handle your own problems but you haven't done anything about it, Bree.
04:01Come on, just tell me I'm wrong.
04:02Get out.
04:03No.
04:04No, Remy.
04:05No, we are going to see you.
04:06Remy, I need it. Get out of my house.
04:07Get out.
04:23You're the best.
04:24Yeah, don't you forget it.
04:25Actually, better yet, you could pay me.
04:26And you could keep dreaming.
04:29What's going on with you? Are you alright?
04:31It's a photographer.
04:33Hang on.
04:35How would you feel about being the face of Manta Ray Boards?
04:38Kev is a lot, eh?
04:40It's not her.
04:41It's this whole situation.
04:43I'm not making her. I'm just some guy that shapes boards.
04:45Alright, trust me. I get it.
04:47Lyric's album launch, I froze.
04:49That, that was embarrassing.
04:52Is this meant to be some kind of pep talk? Because it really sucked.
04:55Can I ask you something?
04:56Do you trust her?
04:57Yes.
04:58Do you believe in your business?
04:59Yes.
05:00Then there you go.
05:01Just pose for some photos and enjoy the ride.
05:03You're making it sound so simple.
05:06Okay, we're on.
05:07Ready?
05:09I guess so.
05:10Vanessa!
05:11Hey girl!
05:13We can stick around if you want.
05:15Yeah, might be fun.
05:17Fun?
05:18Kev is a master. Just follow a lead.
05:21How are you?
05:22I'm fine.
05:23What?
05:24How are you?
05:26Yeah, thanks.
05:29Cheers.
05:34Knock, knock, knock.
05:36Come in.
05:39Hey.
05:40Hey.
05:42This just came for you.
05:53It's Dad's ashes, isn't it?
06:03Yeah.
06:10If you want, we can talk about what you want to do with them.
06:17I'd like to be alone if that's okay.
06:20Yeah, of course.
06:33I'm sorry.
06:50Remy.
06:51Hey.
06:52How's Eden?
06:54Not sure.
06:55She had a breeze last night.
06:56Why?
06:57Oh, just checking in.
06:59Cool.
07:00Have a good one.
07:03Mate, we're in trouble.
07:04Because?
07:05Brie overheard us talking.
07:06She knows that I asked you to keep an eye on her.
07:09Right.
07:10Sorry, mate.
07:11No, that's fine.
07:12I'll just avoid going home.
07:13Might want to give that a week or two.
07:15She that angry, huh?
07:16Oh, yeah.
07:17Look, I shouldn't have dragged you into this.
07:19No, no, it's fine.
07:20We were just trying to help her.
07:21Yeah, and I'm sure that she'll understand that once she cools down.
07:25You think?
07:26Totally.
07:27It also probably doesn't help that she's on leave and she's got nothing else to focus on.
07:29How does she think that's going to work?
07:31I mean, she can't stay on leave and avoid the hospital forever.
07:33Oh, I'm pretty sure she knows that.
07:35Of course Brie's not going to walk away from her dream job.
07:38She's not doing anything about it either.
07:40Anything else?
07:41No, thanks.
07:43Hey, can I talk to you about that?
07:45Is there anything I can do?
08:01What are you doing here?
08:03I just thought I'd come check in.
08:07So you just randomly show up at my place and you've never been here before?
08:13It's a beautiful spot.
08:14Did Remy send you?
08:17No.
08:19But he's worried about you.
08:21We all are.
08:22I told him that I didn't want anyone from the hospital involved and what does he do?
08:26Talks to you?
08:27He spoke to me as a friend.
08:28Yeah, well, I'll add your name to the list.
08:32He loves you very much and he only wants to help.
08:34Okay, well you can report back to him that I'm just fine.
08:38Are you?
08:39Mm-hmm.
08:43I think it's clean, Brie.
08:46Brie.
08:49If the roles were reversed and Remy wasn't himself and you were worried about him, would you just walk away?
09:02There we go.
09:03That's beautiful.
09:05Yay!
09:06Okay, close up.
09:08Amazing, Kirby.
09:10A little smile.
09:11She loves the beach.
09:12She lives at the beach.
09:14Perfect.
09:15So approachable.
09:17There we go.
09:18Yes.
09:19Get some of that.
09:20Okay.
09:23Let's keep going.
09:24Amazing, Kirby.
09:26Gorgeous.
09:28Molly, let's try to relax a bit.
09:31Yeah.
09:33A statue would be more likelihood.
09:36Pretend you are teaching Kirby to surf.
09:38Great.
09:39Cool.
09:44What are you doing?
09:47I can't see the clothes.
09:48I think she meant the standing up bit.
09:50Yep.
09:51Yep.
09:54Hold on, I'm going to change lenses.
09:56Okay.
10:00I have no idea what I'm doing.
10:02They must think I'm a complete idiot.
10:04I doubt Vanessa knows the front of the board from the back.
10:06You're doing great.
10:08Okay, are we ready?
10:09Yes.
10:11Come on, let's have some fun.
10:16Oh!
10:17What are you doing?
10:20Get him back, Molly.
10:24Yeah, that's it, Molly.
10:27Hey.
10:28Okay.
10:29Jesus.
10:31No.
10:34Anything you say stays between you and I.
10:37I'm not reporting back to anyone.
10:41I don't want to upset you if I say this, Bree, but you don't seem happy to me.
10:46I'm not.
10:48Talking about it might help.
10:51It doesn't have to be me, it could be a friend.
10:53They don't understand.
10:55Okay, well, there are other avenues for support, especially through work.
10:59Yeah.
11:01Right.
11:03What?
11:04You know I can't do that.
11:06Why not?
11:07Levo, come on.
11:09We've both seen what happens to doctors who admit that they're having issues.
11:15The hospital has an obligation to help you.
11:17Don't be so naive.
11:19Hospitals are gossip central.
11:20All I'll ever be known as is the doctor who lost it, and that would follow me for the rest of my career.
11:26Would you want to deal with a reputation like that?
11:28No.
11:29Exactly.
11:30It doesn't change the fact that you're still struggling.
11:33Yeah, but that's why I've taken leave.
11:35I'll go back once this is sorted.
11:38Okay, but are you sorting this?
11:40Yes.
11:41How?
11:43You know, I...
11:46I'll work it out.
11:48From one doctor to another.
11:51This is not a problem that you can self-manage.
11:56So if you're not willing to seek help, then what exactly are you doing?
12:04I shouldn't have said anything to Levo.
12:06No.
12:07He knows better than anyone the kind of pressure Bree's under.
12:09Yeah, but she just lost it at me for betraying her trust with you.
12:13Well, she spooked about anyone at work finding out.
12:15Well, here's your chance to apologise.
12:21Hey, guys.
12:22Hi.
12:24We'll leave you to it.
12:25No, I want you guys to hear this.
12:29Can I?
12:37I know that you all really care about me, and I've heard you.
12:44I need to get a mental health assessment.
12:46Really?
12:47Yep.
12:48That'll help me understand exactly what's going on,
12:51and then hopefully from there I can get some help.
12:57And I know that's going to be hard for you to believe, but I promise.
13:02I'm done with avoiding it.
13:03I can't live like this anymore.
13:07I think that's a really good idea.
13:09Yeah, good on you for dealing with it.
13:11Thanks, Courage.
13:13So, just to be clear, you're not angry with us anymore?
13:18Only a little bit.
13:20Only a little bit.
13:25I love you.
13:26I love you.
13:27Yeah.
13:33I just don't know how to get through to him anymore.
13:36You've been in his shoes.
13:38How did you feel the day before court?
13:41I guess I felt hopeless.
13:44I tried to talk to him about that.
13:47Yeah, I remember trying to talk to you too.
13:51Did it help?
13:53Honestly?
13:55No.
13:57It pushed you away.
13:59And anyone else who tried.
14:02Maybe you and Perry have more in common than you thought.
14:15You got a sec?
14:17Yeah.
14:24Look, I get you're sick of talking about all of this.
14:28But let me ask you a question.
14:31I know you think this is hopeless.
14:34I know why.
14:36I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
14:40But if you do end up in prison,
14:44is this really how you want to spend your last day of freedom?
14:48Locked up in here, away from the people who care about you?
14:57You think about that.
15:13I do.
15:26I'm sorry for snapping earlier.
15:28I know that you've only ever had my back.
15:31And I always will.
15:34Ah, hello lovers.
15:37Hello.
15:38Do you want some free board show merch?
15:40Oh, if it's board wax, definitely. I've run out.
15:43Okay, thank you very much.
15:47I should have roped you into the shoot today.
15:49What shoot?
15:50What was it, a marketing campaign for the board shop?
15:52No, thank you.
15:53That's what Marley said.
15:55Oh yeah, how'd he go? Did you freak him out?
15:57For your information, he was amazing.
15:59As was I.
16:01As we know, you're a natural.
16:03When can we see the photos?
16:04Soon. I think you're going to love them.
16:05Nice.
16:07Anyway, I've got sand everywhere and I need a shower.
16:10Who knew modelling was such messy work?
16:15No, not much.
16:18Okay.
16:20So what now?
16:23I need to figure out where to get this assessment done.
16:34Hey, listen, I might crash. I've got a pretty big night.
16:36And a big morning.
16:38Okay. Right.
16:43What a turnaround.
16:44Thanks.
16:46You weren't that happy this morning.
16:48Oh yeah, I was freaking out about the photo shoot.
16:52Obviously it worked out in the end.
16:54Yeah, it was actually fun. It was great.
16:58And Kirby was awesome.
17:00The photographer showed me some photos on the camera afterwards and they looked deadly.
17:05What's this actually for?
17:07It's for a big campaign thing for the board shop.
17:10Good for you.
17:20Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm just making things harder for him.
17:24I know you want to make a difference, but taking a step back is probably the best thing you can do for him.
17:29I hope you're right.
17:30Hey, is Perry around?
17:33He's not in the gym.
17:34Oh, he's at home.
17:35How's he feeling about tomorrow?
17:38Let me think.
17:40I tried texting, he didn't answer.
17:44Hey, here he is.
17:46Hey.
17:48Can we talk?
17:49Hey, dude, if you need anything, you just text me, alright?
17:54Thanks, man.
17:55Alright, see ya.
17:58What's up?
17:59Just thought about what you said.
18:00And if this really is my last day of freedom, I want to finish what I started.
18:30I love you.
19:00I love you.
19:30I love you.
19:53It's been five minutes.
19:55Yeah.
19:56Since you spoke.
19:58It's like a record.
19:59Oh.
20:01You're not normally this quiet.
20:02What's going on?
20:04I'm thinking about Bree.
20:07Yeah, it's a big step for her to accept she needs help.
20:10Yeah, I just want her to actually go through with the mental health assessment.
20:14She will.
20:15Hi.
20:16Hey.
20:17Oh, bad day?
20:19Not the best.
20:20I've got a little time before my shift.
20:22Come sit.
20:23I'll get back to work.
20:25Is everything all sorted for court tomorrow?
20:27Apparently, the solicitor reckons it'll be a miracle if Perry doesn't go to prison.
20:32Poor kid.
20:44Hey, what are you doing?
20:45I can't do this.
20:57I can't do this.
21:05Look, if you run now, you're guilty forever.
21:07I am guilty!
21:08Not of murder, you're not.
21:10You did what you had to do.
21:11A jury is not going to believe me.
21:14Just stop and think for a second.
21:18Everything okay here?
21:20You know running's not the answer.
21:21I'm going either way.
21:22What does it matter?
21:24It matters to me.
21:25I'm just going to have to let you down.
21:26We're warriors.
21:27Maybe you are, but that's not me.
21:29It is you, Perry.
21:30It's in your blood.
