00:00So, will you go and wait by the car, please?
00:26I go talk to Uncle Robert.
00:27Hi.
00:28Hiya.
00:28Hiya.
00:30Where the hell have you been?
00:32I need to get Harry to school.
00:33I just went for a walk.
00:34I want to get out on the fresh air again.
00:36Well, you should have told me.
00:38I heard you're up in the night a few times, but when I went to your bedroom it was empty.
00:41I didn't know what had happened.
00:42Where you'd gone?
00:43Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
00:44I guess I've just not got used to a comfy bed and no cellmate yet.
00:48But your bed is hardly slept in.
00:51I've been having some nightmares.
00:54I'm sure it'll pass once I've got prison out of the system.
00:56What sort of nightmares?
00:58I really don't want to talk about that.
00:59And right now I've got more important things to worry about, like finding a job.
01:03Well, if me staying is going to be difficult, I can always find somewhere else.
01:06No, I didn't say that.
01:08You're welcome to stay.
01:09I just, it would have been better if you'd called and asked first.
01:12There's stuff we need to talk about.
01:14Yeah, later.
01:15I've got to get a shower before I get started.
01:16I didn't realise you were out of jail.
01:18Bob!
01:19Back in the village.
01:21Yeah, well, now you can start spreading the good news.
01:23Yeah, well, there's a few around here who might not see it that way, but...
01:27I reckon we both know who he's talking about.
01:33Yeah, well, can't worry about that now.
01:36Important thing is getting a job and making a good start here.
01:39Okay, well, I'll take Harry to school, but then we are having that chat.
01:53What's this?
01:54I thought you needed a good breakfast.
01:56Keep your strength up for your operation next week.
02:00I just want to get it over and done with now.
02:03There's a few things I want to ask the consultant when we go.
02:06We?
02:07Did I mention I'm coming with you?
02:10I don't remember inviting you.
02:12Well, I didn't think you'd need to.
02:13I thought you'd want me there.
02:15And anyway, like you said, we're a team, remember?
02:17Yeah, well, I still think you should have asked.
02:19And I don't want the whole family turning up.
02:21You haven't invited any of them, have you?
02:22No, of course I haven't.
02:25Why are you on edge about this, Sarah? I love you.
02:27I might be wrong, but I think you might need me there.
02:30Have I ever mentioned how stubborn you are?
02:32Loads of times, yeah.
02:34No, if I'm honest, I'd like you there.
02:41Oh, this is them now.
02:42Confirming the date and time for next week.
02:44Well, the sooner the better, eh?
02:47Yeah, I guess so.
02:50It's funny, I can't remember when there was a time in my life
02:52where I wasn't going to appointments and having operations.
02:55I suppose I've got through them all okay so far, though.
02:58And you'll get through this one, too.
03:00So, I've been thinking, and I reckon there's a bit of you
03:13that thinks I'm responsible for whatever happens to you in prison.
03:16No.
03:18And you didn't ask me to do what I did.
03:20You were angry about it.
03:22But it still ruined your life.
03:24Still got you sent away for years.
03:26I never blamed you, Vic.
03:28Prison's not about you and me.
03:30It's about getting through every day without going under.
03:34Having everything organised without being able to relax.
03:37I'll admit, there were times I thought I wouldn't get through it,
03:41but it's over now.
03:43I'm not sure it is.
03:45Not if it's stopping you from sleeping.
03:47I'm going to put it all behind me,
03:48and I'm going to concentrate on building my new life.
03:51Well, maybe you'd have a better chance of doing that
03:53if you moved away, though.
03:55Aaron's moved on.
03:57Maybe you should, too.
03:59I'll leave Aaron alone.
04:01But moving away would be harder.
04:02I'd be living with strangers.
04:04Do you know how many people get out of prison
04:05and find themselves back behind bars before they know it?
04:08Well, not you. Not if you were smart.
04:10If I was smart, I wouldn't be in this mess.
04:12So, learn from your mistakes?
04:14I'm trying, Vic.
04:15I've got a lot of things stacked against me.
04:17Nobody wants to give an ex-con a job or a place to live.
04:21They think you can't be trusted.
04:23I can't blame them.
04:24I thought the same before I knew any different.
04:27Okay.
04:29Then you best crack on with your job search.
04:35Good luck.
04:46Could've told us you got this.
04:48Well, I had more to worry about than that, fine.
04:51Like, I thought you were going to die.
04:54Still need pain.
04:57Anyway, I'm okay now.
04:59No, you're not.
05:00You look awful.
05:01You need to go back to your bed.
05:03Just get a coffee on the way into work.
05:04That normally helps.
05:06Oh.
05:07Don't be stupid.
05:08You're not going into work today.
05:09I've just had too much to drink, that's all.
05:12You need to realise what could've happened if John hadn't have found you.
05:15You know, you really scared me, Cain, and I never want to go through that again.
05:19I was stupid.
05:20I've known drinking's not the answer since Shadrach used to knock me about.
05:23Well, let's hope it's lesson learned now.
05:26But you're not ready to go into work today?
05:28I have to.
05:29I've got a couple of services coming in and we need the money.
05:31Well, text Sarah.
05:32She'll like the overtime.
05:34Right.
05:35Okay.
05:36Right.
05:37Fine.
05:38Just don't tell her it's because I've been drinking too much.
05:42Well, I'll tell her that you've got food poisoning, okay?
05:45Fine.
05:49Where are we going to pay this?
05:51Well, we'll talk about that when you're feeling better.
05:54Just go to bed.
05:59Now, Cain.
06:02So, you must be the guy who's brought all this business to the village.
06:12I'm Robert.
06:13Used to live here a while back.
06:14Oh, yeah?
06:16Yeah.
06:17I, er, used to do a bit of business round here too.
06:20At home farm, mainly.
06:22Made a lot of good contacts.
06:24Still untouched most of them.
06:25Right.
06:27So?
06:29I think me and you have got a lot in common.
06:31I always said that there was room for expansion in this village.
06:34And, er, well, seems like we have a lot of the same ideas.
06:37Thought maybe I could help.
06:39Like I say, got a lot of good contacts.
06:42And when exactly was it you were wowing the locals with your ideas and ambitions?
06:46A few years ago now.
06:47I'm guessing you moved on to bigger and better things, did you?
06:50No, just, er, changing direction.
06:52You mean you're fresh out of prison?
06:57Cain told me all about you.
07:00Right.
07:01So, you'll know how much I need this.
07:04And how hard I'll work for you to get things right.
07:06Except almost wrecking my nephew's wedding when he first got back here tells me that you still make rash choices.
07:12And that's something that I definitely don't need.
07:15Please, just...
07:17Just give me a chance.
07:18Nah, I don't think so, mate.
07:19The door's there.
07:20Please, just hear me out.
07:21Please.
07:23What are we gonna do about Robert, eh?
07:26Mate, maybe it's best we don't do anything.
07:29What are you talking about? We both know what he's here for.
07:31Yeah, well, if he tries to come between us again, then we just tell him he's got no chance.
07:36Right, and if he won't take no for an answer?
07:38Hey!
07:39Glad I found you two.
07:40I just wanted to tell you, Robert is gonna be staying at my place.
07:45Why would you let him do that?
07:46Because he's family.
07:47And you need someone to take him in.
07:49It's his first week back out of jail.
07:51How long's he planning on staying?
07:52That's up in the air at the minute.
07:54Matty's gone to stay with Moira for a few days to give us some space.
07:59I did tell Robert he'd be better off moving on, but he's obviously had a hard time in jail
08:04and I wanna help him get back on his feet first.
08:06Right, right.
08:07So he's spun you some sob story and you've fallen for it.
08:10Time to clear off.
08:11I can't do that.
08:12And if you'd have seen the state of him, you'd understand.
08:16I do know how tough he can get in jail.
08:18If that don't give him the right to come and bother us.
08:22Alright, okay.
08:23Fine.
08:24You take him on if you must.
08:26But he's not our problem.
08:28So tell him to stay well clear.
08:30Alright?
08:31Sarah!
08:32What the hell are you doing here?
08:33I've just got a couple of services to finish up.
08:34You shouldn't be working in your condition.
08:35Well, my condition's got nothing to do with it.
08:36I'm fine.
08:37I'm just doing my job.
08:38Sarah, you should be at home.
08:39Resting Cain can do this lot.
08:40No, we can't actually.
08:41Maury texted, said he's got food poisoning so she asked me if I could do a shift.
08:44Well, then you just say no.
08:45Why?
08:46Resting's boring.
08:47At least this is earning me some money.
08:48I don't even believe Cain's got food poisoning, to be honest.
08:50But it's just shirking again.
08:51She said it was serious, so...
08:52Well, whatever it is, it's not as serious as you have in cancer, is it?
08:54I'm going over there now.
08:55I'm going to have a word with him.
08:56No, you won't.
08:57Sarah, you've got a serious operation.
08:58Well, you can't tell him that, can you?
08:59Maybe it's time they knew.
09:00I'll just leave you, will you, alright?
09:01Grumpy's got enough going on without worrying about me.
09:02And I know what you're all like.
09:03You'll tell someone else, then before you know it, the whole village will know.
09:04And that is the last thing that I need.
09:05Why?
09:06People just want the best for you.
09:07Because they treat me like I'm a patient, like I'm a victim.
09:08And I've had it my whole life, and trust me, it doesn't help.
09:10What?
09:11What?
09:12What?
09:13What?
09:14What?
09:15What?
09:16What?
09:17What?
09:18What?
09:19What?
09:20What?
09:21What?
09:22What?
09:23What?
09:24What?
09:25What?
09:26What?
09:27What?
09:28What?
09:29What?
09:30What?
09:31What?
09:32What?
09:33What?
09:34I've had it my whole life, and trust me it doesn't help.
09:35Okay, well, I'll just come up with another excuse.
09:38I can be tactful.
09:39Yeah, well, it'll be the first time.
09:41Sarah, I don't want you up to your elbows in grease.
09:44So one way or another, Cain can do his own dirty work.
09:48And here's your lunch.
09:54Everything all right?
09:57Yeah, yeah.
09:59Yeah, it's just, er, Robert being back's put me right off my food.
10:04Well, maybe a good lunch will make you feel better.
10:09I get you worrying about Robert coming back.
10:13Oh, can you blame us after what happened at the wedding?
10:15I guess not.
10:16But it didn't end too great for him either, did it?
10:18He got what he deserved.
10:19He should have thrown away the key, not let him back out.
10:21I just hope he's learnt his lesson.
10:24No, I'm getting these.
10:25I'm getting a slip.
10:26I'm getting off me.
10:26Oh, we can join you for a drink.
10:31Yeah, of course.
10:32If it's to say goodbye.
10:34No, actually it's to celebrate the job Caleb's just given me.
10:37That's amazing news.
10:38Why would you give him a job?
10:39I'll turn him down at first, but he doesn't give up easy.
10:42Said he worked the first couple of weeks for free,
10:44and then I'd only have to pay him if I keep him on after that.
10:47I gave him an off, he couldn't refuse.
10:51Knew you two would want to be the first to help me celebrate.
10:54Cheers, great.
10:56I've done nothing wrong.
11:16I've been back a week, I've just got a job.
11:18It's worth celebrating, isn't it?
11:19Yeah, of course it is.
11:20It's just worth celebrating at home.
11:24See you, lads.
11:25I'll see you, mate.
11:27Yeah, see you, Chief.
11:30Why would you do that, eh?
11:32You've really screwed things up for us now.
11:34What, like giving someone that's just got out of prison a break?
11:36I don't know how anyone feels sorry for him.
11:38You cannot trust a bloke like that.
11:40You do know he's a killer.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Yeah, Kane told me all about him.
11:43What, you still gave him a job?
11:44He killed a bloke that raped his sister.
11:48I can understand why he did that.
11:51Plus, he's served his time, so I reckon he deserves a second chance.
11:54You're gonna regret it?
11:55Well, if I do, I can sack him.
11:57But I reckon he'll be useful.
11:59He's got a decent business head on him.
12:02He is right, though.
12:02You can't trust him.
12:03Are you two gonna sit there and pretend you've never, ever made any mistakes in your lives?
12:10Yeah.
12:11Exactly.
12:11Me too.
12:12Plenty.
12:14Sometimes you just need a second chance.
12:16Great.
12:17Great.
12:19He said he'd be back to take me down, and now Caleb has given him the perfect opportunity to do that.
12:26Oh.
12:28Here you go.
12:29I'm not telling you.
12:30Oh, I shouldn't be fussing around when it's all my fault.
12:33Well, I can't argue with that.
12:35Oh.
12:37My head's banging.
12:38I feel absolutely awful.
12:42I knew you didn't have food poisoning.
12:45You're just a bit hungover, aren't you?
12:47Believe me, Charity, it was a lot worse than that.
12:50Well, whatever it was, Moira, you deserved it.
12:52Right, well, he's got nothing on his plate right now with it.
12:53You're rubbing it in.
12:54Well, I'm fed up with him just dumping his work on Sarah every time he feels like it.
12:58She likes working at the garden.
13:00It's not like I'm not paying her.
13:01It's not about the money.
13:02Well, what is it about then?
13:05Well, Sarah's not been very well herself lately.
13:08Why didn't she tell us that?
13:10Well, she probably didn't want to worry you.
13:13Well, now you have.
13:15So, tell us what's going on.
13:18I can't.
13:19Why not?
13:20Because she asked me not to say anything.
13:23Right, well, now you've got us really worried.
13:25You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's wrong.
13:30Terri, just tell us.
13:35She's got cancer.
13:36I've been really down for a while now.
13:50What's the problem?
13:52Erm, I don't know exactly.
13:54I've tried, but I don't seem to be able to get through to him, so...
13:58I was hoping you might be able to help.
14:00Well, what makes you think I can do any better?
14:02I don't know.
14:03Just talking to you chaps really helped me when I was down.
14:07I'd like a bit to try.
14:12Here you go, Dad.
14:13Get you a drink.
14:15Oh, cheers.
14:17And what have I done to deserve this?
14:18Well, it's just, you know, it's been a while since we've had a chat.
14:23Oh.
14:24And what do you want to chat about?
14:29Hey, guess who I saw this morning?
14:32Robert Subden.
14:34Yes.
14:35Now, I didn't realise that he'd got out of jail, did you?
14:39Can't say I'm bothered one way out to the other.
14:44So, Bob, how are you coping without Cathy?
14:47Yeah, I suppose it's good days and bad.
14:49No, I know what you mean.
14:52Yeah, Paddy, you mentioned that you've had a few bad days yourself recently, Bear.
14:56Been talking about me behind me back, have you?
14:59No, no, just as mates, really.
15:01Just, you know.
15:02See, I found that my mates really helped me when I had troubles.
15:07Probably saved my life.
15:09Maybe your mates could help you?
15:11Well, I happen they could.
15:12Well, they haven't got any troubles right now.
15:20You could have been a bit more tactful when you told them the news.
15:25John would have been angry however I put it.
15:26He hates me.
15:28OK.
15:29Maybe it's best we see a clearer of them for a while then,
15:32while you concentrate on your new life.
15:34Oh, don't worry, I'm going to work really hard for Caleb.
15:36I owe him not much.
15:37But I didn't think anyone round here would give me a chance.
15:42I'm going to prove he did the right thing.
15:43You can prove more than that, you know.
15:47Talking to you this morning, I realised what a mess your head's in.
15:51Thanks.
15:52But you have to face up to it, Robert.
15:55You know, you're having nightmares because you can't shake prison off.
15:58You're living in the past and you've got a real chance of a future now.
16:02Yeah, well, I made a start on that, thanks to Caleb.
16:05Right, so don't screw it up.
16:07Don't be one of those blokes who ends up back in jail.
16:10You're better than that.
16:11I hope so.
16:15That's worth celebrating tonight.
16:17Yeah, I'm going to go and get some fizz and some party food.
16:21OK, I'll come with it.
16:22No, you won't.
16:23What?
16:24Well, you haven't been sleeping inside because you were worrying about what might happen.
16:29There's nothing to be scared of here.
16:31So have a nap.
16:32Start dreaming about your new life.
16:35OK.
16:36OK, boss.
16:38Now won't be long.
16:44Why didn't you tell us about this?
16:46You must have known we'd never ask her to work if we knew.
16:48Because Sarah said she didn't want me telling anyone.
16:52No, but we're not just anyone.
16:53She's her granddaughter.
16:54Yeah.
16:55Well, like she says, you know, she's had doctor's appointments and operations her whole life.
17:01And with you dealing with all this with Nate, she thought it could be one problem too many.
17:06I can't change what's happened to Nate.
17:08Well, if my granddaughter's got cancer, then that has to be the priority now.
17:12Well, I was just doing what she asked.
17:16Tell her she can have as much time off as she needs.
17:18And I'll sort out sick pay for her as well.
17:20But if I tell her that, she's going to know that I've told you about the cancer.
17:23So?
17:23Well, I think she might be a little bit angry with me.
17:27Well, would it be easier if I came with you?
17:30I mean, I want her to know that we are here for her whenever she needs us.
17:33No, of course you do.
17:35But maybe not just yet, OK?
17:37Let me speak to her and explain and...
17:40Well, before you say anything.
17:45Yeah, all right.
17:47OK.
17:53I don't think we're going to get him to talk.
18:05Can't just give up.
18:06OK, we'll give it another try, but I need to be back at work soon.
18:15Dad.
18:17We all need our mates, even if we don't always know it.
18:21No, I suppose so.
18:23So, when I first came to the village,
18:26I realised that Zach Dingle never settled his vet bills.
18:29And I was determined to be the one that made him pay.
18:32I bet he didn't manage it.
18:33No, did he heck. He was always skilled.
18:35But then I realised he paid me back in other ways.
18:39Like, if I needed help, he'd always be there.
18:40In fact, he'd never let a mate down.
18:44And I think that's worth far more than money.
18:47How about you, Bear?
18:49You must have had plenty of times where your mates have helped you through things.
18:52Not that I can think of.
18:55Like I said, I guess I don't have many problems these days.
18:59Well, that's not true, though, is it?
19:00I mean, you were certainly upset about something yesterday
19:02and you wouldn't tell me what it was.
19:03Something's a private.
19:04Well, maybe, Dad, but you were in tears.
19:06I dare you.
19:07You're trying to show me up.
19:08Making out I'm some sort of sissy.
19:10I didn't take it that way.
19:13Look, your Dad was a wrestler.
19:15That image matters to him.
19:17Can I put it right?
19:18Dad!
19:20Dad!
19:23I'm sorry.
19:23I know you're upset and you've every right to be.
19:28But I'm worried about you.
19:30I was just trying to get through to whatever it is that's upsetting you.
19:32I know.
19:35Well, come and finish your drink.
19:36No, thanks.
19:37You'll only start trying to make me talk about everything again.
19:41Look, I know you mean well,
19:43but I've got to sort these things out for meself
19:45and you fretting about me,
19:46well, that just makes that harder.
19:53How'd it go with Grumpy?
19:56Yeah, fine.
19:58So I can go do those services now?
20:01Well, he said that you don't have to do any shifts for a while, actually,
20:04and that he can give you sick pay if you need it.
20:06Sounds very generous for Grumpy.
20:08What did you say I was sick with?
20:09Oh, that's not important.
20:11Like I told you, I can be very persuasive when I try.
20:13You told him about the cancer, didn't you?
20:14I tried not to, OK?
20:16But then it just...
20:17It felt like the right thing to do.
20:18Even when I asked you not to?
20:20It's your grandad.
20:21He loves you.
20:23You've never been able to keep a secret.
20:27I'm sorry.
20:29It's too late for that now.
20:30You've done it.
20:31You didn't tell him about the IVF as well, did you?
20:34Of course I didn't!
20:35Right, well, don't.
20:36And maybe try not to start going round
20:37giving medical bulletins on me to anyone else,
20:39cos I don't...
20:40I don't want the whole village gossip in.
20:41I know I make mistakes,
20:45but it's only because I care about you
20:47and I want what's best for you.
20:48Maybe you could let me decide
20:49what's best for me in the future.
20:51OK, I promise I won't tell anyone else.
20:53Don't make promises that you can't keep.
20:55Now, I know I told you to have a nap,
21:04but I've got the perfect thing to wake you up.
21:09Oh!
21:10I think we should have a toast.
21:16OK.
21:16Get out!
21:17Get out!
21:18Get out!
21:19Get out!
21:20Get out!
21:21Get out!
21:22Get back!
21:23Get out!
21:24Get out!
21:25Get out!
21:26Get out!
21:27Oh!
21:28Oh!
21:29What happened?
21:31Vic!
21:32I didn't realise it was you.
21:33No, no, leave me alone!
21:34Leave me alone!
21:35Get out!
21:36Get out!
21:37Get out!
21:47Get out!
