00:00I'd like to call Kaia Hayes to the stand.
00:10What?
00:11I tried to protect Perry as much as I could.
00:15So why did you leave?
00:16Carl said that he'd kill Perry if I didn't.
00:21We find Perry Hayes not guilty by reason of self-defense.
00:24I hope one day you can understand and forgive me.
00:29You abandoned me.
00:30I don't want anything to do with you.
00:32She knew exactly what Dad was like.
00:34She still left me with him.
00:36I'm sorry.
00:37We shouldn't be doing this.
00:40I don't care.
00:42Who is that?
00:43He has been working with Abby.
00:45What do you mean with Abby?
00:46He's her counselor.
00:47You guys ganged up on me and then I got blamed for it?
00:50Oh, the good old days.
00:51Oh.
00:52Come on, it's not so bad now, is it?
00:53No.
00:54No, it's not.
00:55Oh, wait, hang on a sec.
01:00I, um, I wrote you a letter.
01:01Tim's idea.
01:02Should I read it now?
01:03No.
01:04Just, just wait till you get home.
01:05I can't tell if it's good or bad.
01:08I, uh, I need to tell you something.
01:09What is it?
01:10I slept with Tim.
01:11Hey, wasn't it my turn to show up?
01:24No, boy, I drank mine.
01:25I'm worried about Perry.
01:26Oh, well.
01:27Cheers.
01:28Cheers.
01:29Cheers.
01:30Cheers.
01:31So, no Bree tonight?
01:32Uh, no, she's gone away for a few days.
01:33Oh, yeah?
01:34What's she up to?
01:35Uh, visiting family.
01:36Uh, thanks for suggesting a walk.
01:37I needed to clean my head.
01:38Oh, uh, just one sec.
01:39What happened?
01:40Not guilty.
01:41He must be stoked.
01:42It was a big day for him, that's for sure.
01:43Who's that?
01:44Maybe Perry can fill you in.
01:45Sorry.
01:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:48Sorry.
01:49That's Theo.
01:50I'm made of Perry's.
01:51It's made a good life for himself here, eh?
01:52Yeah.
01:53So, it's honey.
01:54He's a good man?
01:55Yeah.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Yeah.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Yeah.
02:16He's a good man.
02:17There's nothing he wouldn't do for Perry.
02:20I just hope we can convince him to give me another chance, then.
02:32Tabba.
02:34She's at salt with your mum.
02:35I meant what I said.
02:36I don't want anything to do with her.
02:38Maybe just take some time before-
02:40Time?
02:41I don't need time!
02:42She had years to come back!
02:44Like she said she was scared.
02:45scared. I don't care if she was scared. What kind of mother leaves their child behind, huh? I don't
02:50know, Perry. I don't know. I don't have those answers, okay? But this is an opportunity for
02:55you to get those answers. Hey. Who I choose to sleep with has nothing to do with Abby. You must
03:06feel so guilty. Is that why you told me? I cannot believe that you would do something so selfish.
03:13You know what? Just go, Levi. Just go. He's Abby's counsellor. A guy you've known for five
03:17minutes. Okay, remind me. How did you and Mackenzie- Oh, do not turn this back on me.
03:21Why not? She was your patient. Anyway, Tim is not my counsellor. He's my sister's.
03:25That doesn't make it right. You saw her today, okay? She's doing really great.
03:29She's made progress. And she's still so fragile. You know that.
03:32I am just trying to move on. It didn't have to be with Tim.
03:35It could have been anybody else. I like him.
03:43You're gonna get caught sooner or later. I did.
03:58Why don't we call it a night? Five more minutes, please.
04:02Okay. You've still got it all to look forward to.
04:09The day you hold your baby in your arms for the first time, the love you feel is indescribable.
04:19Hey. Hey.
04:20Is Perry okay? Well, not really, to be honest.
04:24Where is he? He's at home.
04:26He doesn't want to see me? Well, you did drop a pretty big bomb on him.
04:30I don't think he can handle anything else tonight.
04:32That's understandable. I don't blame him.
04:35He'd hate me, too.
04:41I'm gonna head to the motel.
04:46Oh, hi, Tiffany.
04:52Bit of a mess, eh? Yep.
04:56There's no water to save on.
04:57Yep. There's no water to save on.
05:01Oh, finally.
05:05I thought you were just gonna drop Eden home.
05:08Yeah, I just stayed there for a bit.
05:11Well, did she read my letter?
05:14And? Hey, where's Mac, by the way?
05:17She's in the shower. What did Eden say?
05:21She was moved. What?
05:24That's it? I poured my heart out into that letter.
05:27It was a lot, Abby. She just needs some time.
05:30Yeah, I guess that's fair.
05:33I can tell you what I thought of it.
05:36You read it? It was a really big step for you.
05:41Go on, say it. You're proud of me.
05:44I am. Are you proud enough to lend me your keys?
05:48You're not gonna go see Eden, are you?
05:49No, I just, I want to go take a drive and clear my head.
05:52All right, well, why don't you let me check in with Mac and I'll come with you?
05:55No, I'm fine.
05:57You sure? Yes, I'm sure.
06:02Tim's really helping you, isn't he?
06:05Yeah, he is.
06:08Keys, please.
06:15Hey.
06:27Hey, sorry. I'm just messaging Perry.
06:29I'm real happy for him.
06:30That's great. Too bad you lost.
06:32Yeah, best out of three.
06:34Rack him up.
06:38Oh, at ease, Rummy. You're off my hit list.
06:41Uh, since when?
06:42Well, since I realized you're not the one I'm actually mad at.
06:44Do you apologize?
06:46Just take the win.
06:48Okay, I will. Thanks.
06:50Well, you can thank my counselor, actually.
06:54You know what? I, uh, won't let him do it.
06:56Hey, what happened to best out of three?
06:58I'm quitting while I'm ahead.
07:05What? You need an opponent and I need a distraction.
07:09So we're mates now, are we?
07:11Well, unless you want to hold a grudge.
07:14Well, it depends.
07:15You any good?
07:16No.
07:17Well, you're honest. I like that.
07:20Wait, are you hustling me?
07:23Would I admit it if I was?
07:27No.
07:29Oi, guess what just happened to me?
07:32Oh, just say it.
07:34Your sister apologized to me.
07:36Ooh, snap. I got mine in writing.
07:39Wow.
07:41Looks like this, uh, counselor's really getting through to her.
07:44Okay, don't even bother. Levi's already had a go at me.
07:46Oh, so Levi knows?
07:47Yep, I told him and, uh, I'm already regretting that.
07:51I know. You warned me that this was gonna blow up in my face.
07:55Look, Aiden, we've all slept with people that, uh, we shouldn't have.
07:59And I get that this whole cash thing is doing your head in.
08:02Why would you bring cash into this?
08:04Not everything is about him, okay?
08:06He's in the past. End of story.
08:09Right.
08:10If that's the case, just explain this Tim thing to me.
08:14Can we just, can we just leave it, please?
08:33Hey, can you get my phone?
08:41🎵 I keep looking out the window 🎵
08:46🎵 Thinking that they're coming after me 🎵
08:50🎵 Why won't they let me leave? 🎵
08:52Aiden, you've, uh, got a visitor.
08:55Hi, Remy.
08:56Be inside if you need anything.
08:57Doubtful, but thank you.
08:58🎵 Oh, paranoia is closing in at my feet 🎵
09:03It's good to see you.
09:03🎵 I need a room to breathe 🎵
09:06You're gonna make this easier if you're not being so nice.
09:09🎵 I need space to breathe 🎵
09:10You don't want to see me again.
09:11No, I, I do.
09:15I really like you.
09:17But-
09:18But, Abigail.
09:19Yeah?
09:22Yeah, I'm worried about her too.
09:26She, um, she wrote this letter.
09:28She said it was your idea to write it.
09:30I don't know what's in it, but yeah, I think it helped.
09:33I hope there's nothing too confronting in there.
09:36No, no.
09:37It was really honest.
09:38🎵
09:39She actually said some really lovely things.
09:42You've been really great for her.
09:44Well, I'm glad things are working out between you two.
09:46And you and I could undo it all.
09:48🎵 Feet, black feet 🎵
09:55🎵 Invisible claws and invisible strings 🎵
09:59🎵 Pulling me back to the family tree 🎵
10:02🎵 I gotta move fast, they got their eyes on me 🎵
10:05🎵
10:08🎵 Black feet 🎵
10:11Did you get much sleep?
10:15I heard you going out.
10:17Guessing it had something to do with my mum.
10:21Yeah, yeah.
10:21Met up with her and Harper.
10:23You know, I think she just wants a chance to explain.
10:26Maybe it'll help you.
10:27Nah, it'd just be more excuses, man.
10:29No, I don't get it.
10:31She stood there and she said that she loved me.
10:33That she didn't want to leave.
10:35But, that's exactly what she did.
10:37She left.
10:39I'm not excusing it.
10:40Even if I could accept her reasons for leaving,
10:42why didn't she come back?
10:44You know, these are all good questions, mate.
10:48There's only one person who can answer them.
10:49🎵 When I let you in 🎵
11:01Morning.
11:02Morning.
11:05You want some broccoli?
11:08I won't say no.
11:11So, how'd things go with Tim last night?
11:16Don't say a word.
11:19Hey.
11:20Hey.
11:21You keen to stay for some broccoli?
11:23Uh, yeah, sure.
11:25Right, I'll, uh, leave you to it.
11:27Oh, well, don't leave on my account.
11:28No, throws a crowd.
11:32I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he knows I'm Abigail's counsellor.
11:36Yes, he does.
11:38Okay.
11:40So, we still need to decide the best way to tell Abby.
11:44Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
11:45And, do you mind if we hold off for a bit?
11:48I think we should probably be up front.
11:50Me, especially.
11:52Yeah, no, I know.
11:53But I still haven't spoken to her about her letter.
11:55And I just, I don't want this to overshadow that.
11:58Okay, yeah, no, I hear you.
12:00But sooner or later, we do have to deal with this.
12:02Yeah, we will.
12:04I still haven't heard from Eden.
12:05You know what, maybe I should just call her.
12:06No, don't do that.
12:07Well, how long could she possibly need?
12:09I don't know.
12:09Okay, well, at what point do I start to worry, then?
12:11It feels like you got to that point ten minutes ago.
12:17Is everything okay?
12:18Uh, yeah, I just need to go sort something out.
12:20Fine, you go.
12:21Still owe me breakfast.
12:22Just tell Mac to put it on my tab.
12:27How's it going?
12:29Well, my sister won't call me back.
12:33And my brother just stitched me.
12:34So, you know, it's no wonder I need counselling.
12:37Right.
12:39You know, you really shouldn't judge someone
12:40if you don't know the full story.
12:41No, no, no, no.
12:42I wasn't judging.
12:43I go to counselling, too.
12:45Really?
12:45Yeah.
12:47You know, I mean, we've all got stuff to deal with, right?
12:52Right.
12:54What you doing with that?
12:57I figured mum could have this stuff.
12:59Oh, you sure?
13:01Nah, I don't want it.
13:02Okay.
13:12Hey.
13:12Hey.
13:13Come on.
13:17Want a cup of tea?
13:18Yeah.
13:19Taxi.
13:23Thanks for agreeing to see me.
13:28You still got it.
13:32You know, I gave this to you on your second birthday.
13:39You loved it.
13:41Went everywhere with you.
13:43Even to bed.
13:46We lost it in the park once.
13:47You cried all night.
13:48So I went back to the park with my torch and tried to find it.
13:54I remember that.
13:56You do?
14:02Yeah.
14:14You know, even after I left, I came back
14:17a couple of times to watch you play basketball.
14:21Seriously?
14:23You looked happy.
14:28Perry, I thought you were okay.
14:32I'm okay.
14:32I'm okay.
14:43Oh.
15:01I'm really trying not to obsess over it.
15:04But why do you think Eden needs so much time to think about my letter?
15:07Maybe it just means she's taking it seriously.
15:10Yeah.
15:11Beats a generic thumbs up response, I guess.
15:19You know I'm not paying you for this, right?
15:23The advice or the labour?
15:24Both.
15:27Yeah, well, maybe I'm just in it for the company.
15:35Eden said you come down pretty hard on her.
15:38Yeah, well, I just hope I got through to her.
15:40That's why we're here, mate.
15:41I don't think you did.
15:44When did he say that?
15:45Uh, Tim coming out of a room this morning.
15:47What?
15:48Now, I agree.
15:49Eden has made some spectacularly bad decisions lately.
15:52But she's also been through a lot.
15:54So is she.
15:54But she's trying to improve things, not burn them to the ground.
15:57Yeah, hang on.
15:57There's more to this.
15:58There's something else you should know about this morning.
16:00What?
16:02Eden looks happy.
16:03Okay, the happiest I've seen her in a long time.
16:05I hate to tell you this, mate, but she likes him.
16:07Oh.
16:08She's not just going to walk away from him.
16:10Yeah?
16:18You know, you make it sound like we're doing something wrong.
16:21But are we?
16:23Well, not technically, I guess.
16:26Is it unethical?
16:29Is it illegal?
16:30No.
16:31I mean, you're not my client.
16:32Yeah, but my sister is.
16:35Right.
16:36And that definitely does put us in a grey area.
16:38Mm-hmm.
16:40Okay, so we can— we can see the line, but we're not technically crossing it.
16:46And, you know, you're not after me for my money, because I don't have any, so—
16:50Yeah, that's right.
16:51We're just two adults enjoying each other's company.
16:53Mm-hmm.
16:55Wow.
16:56You make it sound so romantic.
16:58I can do romance, if that's what you want.
17:00I can do romance, if that's what you want.
17:02No, no, I don't.
17:03I've— I've done that, and it didn't get me anywhere, so—
17:06Okay.
17:06Yeah.
17:08So where is it you want to be?
17:12I'm happy right here.
17:13Yeah, so am I.
17:16But I do think we still need to set some boundaries.
17:20Like, when we're together, we just don't talk about Abigail.
17:24Mm-hmm.
17:24And you don't talk about me with her, either.
17:27Yeah, I agree.
17:31Oh, it's your brother.
17:32Yeah, don't answer that.
17:34Why not?
17:34He's not a massive fan of this, so—
17:36Well, then I definitely need to talk to him.
17:38Yeah.
17:40Hey.
17:44Yeah, no, I'm aware.
17:46Look, no, you're right.
17:49I definitely do need to talk to you, but not over the phone.
17:52Okay?
18:01Hmm.
18:05Do you think I made a mistake pushing Perry to talk to Kyle?
18:08No.
18:10Things seem to be going pretty well.
18:12Yeah.
18:14What if they go too well?
18:16Wouldn't that be good?
18:19Yeah.
18:21You would miss him if he left.
18:24Well, I kind of got used to having him around, you know?
18:26But however this turns out, I just hope—
18:29I hope she doesn't mess him up again.
18:32I know Kyle was abusive, but I still can't get my head around how she can walk away from her son.
18:38I could never do that.
18:39We might not understand the choices she made,
18:42but that's because we're lucky enough to have never walked in her shoes.
18:48Kyle's as much a victim in all of this as Perry is.
18:56I started to realize there was no way that I could be that close and not have you in my life.
19:02That's when you decided to go to New Zealand?
19:04Yeah, I thought you were happy and safe.
19:06Obviously, I was wrong.
19:09I guess I just wanted so badly to believe that I had made the right choice.
19:15You know, I thought you were happy and safe.
19:17I thought you were happy and safe.
19:19I thought you were happy and safe.
19:21I thought you were happy and safe.
19:23I thought you were happy and safe.
19:26Do you want to know what happened the day you disappeared?
19:33I came home from school.
19:34Dad was sitting on the couch watching TV,
19:37and I asked him,
19:38when would mum be home?
19:39And he just shrugged, said you wouldn't be.
19:43You were dead.
19:46I didn't know that was going to happen.
19:48And he just looked at me and said,
19:51car accident.
19:52And turned the volume up on the TV.
19:56I'm sorry he put you through that.
19:58And I sat in your room and...
20:02Well, I was crying.
20:05But he didn't like that.
20:07He said that you weren't worth it.
20:10And that I was weak.
20:12I'm so sorry.
20:14I thought I was doing the right thing for you.
20:16All I've heard from you is how hard it was for you to leave.
20:22I can promise you that it was so much harder to stay.
20:27Go to hell.
20:30Go to hell.
20:52I'm going to need an explanation,
20:56because you've had my letter for ages,
20:57and I'm really offended.
20:58You are really important to me, Abby,
21:00and you always will be.
21:04Who's that?
21:06Lake and White?
21:07What you're doing is wrong, and you know it.
21:09I'm entitled to a private life.
21:10You could have done that with anybody else that isn't Abby's sister.
21:14Hey, what are you doing here?
21:15Come join us.
21:18Whoa, what happened to you?
21:20Uh, yeah, it's a long story.
21:22It's a long story.
