00:30Oh, my God.
01:00You'd better tell me you're going to take it easy today.
01:02Oh, I'm going to take it easy today.
01:05In fact, I'm just emailing Liam to let him know I'll be in.
01:09Good. And how are you feeling?
01:12Aaron, I'm fine. Everything is fine.
01:15Yeah, until Robert decides...
01:17I thought we'd done this.
01:19I just don't get it. Why did you trust him all of a sudden?
01:22Because you weren't there. You didn't hear him.
01:24But I know Robert's always known what to say.
01:27No. Not this time.
01:31He's woken up.
01:32He's realised if he carries on like this, he can only end up one of two ways.
01:36Psychiatric ward or back in prison.
01:37He doesn't want it. I don't want that for him either.
01:39So just...
01:40Just go gently with him. Yeah.
01:44Right.
01:51Dylan?
01:52Hello?
01:53Hello?
01:55Oh, my God.
01:57You look terrible.
01:58Don't touch it.
02:01You've got worse.
02:05What are you doing?
02:07Calling an ambulance.
02:07No, there'll be police.
02:09You cannot mess around with something like this.
02:11Please.
02:13I'm not leaving you in this state.
02:15I'm not seeing a doctor.
02:19I'll bring the presents there for you.
02:20He's going to bring us over some pain au chocolat.
02:36I didn't ask for that, obviously.
02:38I said, please, can we have some chocolate pastries?
02:40See how I've learned to fit in?
02:41So, it's a big day today.
02:46As in?
02:49The last of your weekly sessions.
02:51You and your therapist go monthly after today, if I got that right.
02:54Yeah.
02:54Gosh, I can't believe how quickly that's come round.
02:58Well, how much difference is made?
02:59Is it that obvious?
03:00Yeah, I guess you're right.
03:02I am starting to feel like I'm back.
03:06I'm proud of you.
03:06I know.
03:07I'm an icon.
03:07I know someone else who thinks so, too.
03:10You know, his name begins with R and just happens to be mine.
03:12Yes.
03:13Yeah.
03:13No, you get it.
03:14Thanks, Lewis.
03:16I said nothing.
03:17I'm a jolly.
03:17So, Ross is still carrying a flame.
03:22Mum, Ross doesn't carry flames.
03:23He just fancies people or something.
03:26Well, you obviously miss him.
03:28Oh, do I now?
03:29I just think you two could still have some fun.
03:31Stop.
03:32I'm not saying marry him.
03:33Why not just enjoy yourself?
03:34That is even worse, Mum.
03:36Conversation over.
03:41Come on.
03:44Are you sure about this?
03:45Right, well, yeah, because it's either this or the doctors.
03:49So, right, we need to get a move on because they're only on visits for an hour
03:53and then they'll be back in the surgery.
03:55I'll probably see gas or something.
03:57I am not giving you gas.
03:59Yeah, well, what if I make noise with the pain?
04:01Right, I'm not amputating it.
04:03I'm just sterilising it.
04:05And maybe sewing it up.
04:08I'll give you some rum and cream.
04:10Have you done this before?
04:12I've watched Rona do it.
04:14What, on a person?
04:15April?
04:18Stop!
04:18Panicking, man.
04:20I think I heard something.
04:21There's nothing there.
04:22Right?
04:24OK, you might have to take your trousers off.
04:26Hello?
04:29April.
04:34Can I help you with anything?
04:36What are you doing?
04:40With your life?
04:42Wow.
04:43Doesn't take people long to find out everything in this village, does it?
04:46Some old bread as well, isn't there?
04:51Actually, I've got something to do.
04:54No, you haven't.
04:55I'll see you back at the flat, yeah.
04:57Don't forget the milk.
04:58John.
04:59John.
05:05Cheers.
05:08I don't know why I'm here.
05:09I've just sort of wandered in.
05:11And, er...
05:12How is he today?
05:14He's all right.
05:16Have you got time for a coffee?
05:18Clearly, yeah.
05:19Tracy, two coffees, please.
05:21But I promised him, and I'll promise you, it's over.
05:35OK.
05:37I guess prison has just taken a bit more of a toll than I realised.
05:42It's like I'd forgotten how to get along with people.
05:45It could take a bit of time relearning how to act.
05:52Sounds like you've been doing some thinking.
05:54Yeah, I have.
05:56A lot.
05:58Wondered, maybe...
06:00I am just best cutting my losses and...
06:03go on and get myself straightened out somewhere else.
06:07This is the part where I'm supposed to tell you to stay.
06:15John's been weirdly reasonable about all this, you know.
06:18He just wants you to live your life and let us live ours.
06:24Yeah, I know.
06:26But I could do that anywhere, couldn't I?
06:30Somewhere else where nobody knows me,
06:31or I could do it here where everybody hates me.
06:35They'll let you anywhere, sooner or later.
06:44Tracy, actually, can I cancel my coffee?
06:46I've got to get going.
06:51Your roots are here, Robert.
06:55Don't underestimate that.
07:06People do care about you, you know.
07:07Yeah, that's nasty.
07:18That's really deep.
07:19Can you fix that?
07:21No, he needs to get a snow spittle.
07:23Dylan.
07:24Come on, I'll drive you.
07:25No, I can't.
07:26They'll look at this, they'll look at me,
07:28and they'll call the police.
07:29Why, what have you done?
07:30Nothing.
07:30Who did this?
07:33Are you in danger?
07:34That's infected.
07:36You're going to lose your leg if you mess them out.
07:38Right, well, what would the doctors do?
07:40I don't know.
07:41They'd clean and sterilise it,
07:42they'd stitch the wound,
07:44and they'd give you some antibiotics.
07:45I'm not going to the hospital!
07:46Yes, you said that!
07:49So which one of them things can't you do?
07:52Flipping heck, April.
07:53He needs help, Paddy, please.
07:55No, I'd get struck off!
07:56Yeah, it's swelling up.
07:58Yeah, well, it will do.
07:59You're going to look like a balloon animal
08:00in about an hour if you don't get it seen.
08:02And I'm not going to go to court for this, right?
08:04Go to the hospital.
08:05I can either give you a lift
08:06or call an ambulance.
08:09Dylan!
08:11Whoa!
08:11Sit down, sit down.
08:14Are you seriously going to leave him here like this?
08:19No, I've just, yeah,
08:20I've just come from the car park
08:21and now I'm standing outside the shop.
08:24What?
08:24No, no, are you doing a bit of messing me around?
08:27I can't...
08:28Hello?
08:30Oh, my God, I'm a bit of the north.
08:32Still charming the locals, I see.
08:34Uh, just what do you have to do
08:36to get a taxi around here?
08:37What happened to your car?
08:39Well, I...
08:40It won't start.
08:41Why not?
08:42If I knew that, I would...
08:43Well, Rossoners had fixed cars.
08:46Hey, I'm on my break.
08:47Yeah, I'm not asking.
08:50Exactly.
08:52And besides, I wouldn't have time.
08:53I've got to get to Houghton
08:54in 40 minutes for an appointment.
08:56Do you want a lift?
08:58Oh, you?
09:00No.
09:01Him.
09:03Well, I don't know.
09:05I mean, can you get me to Houghton in time?
09:08Well, I've got a car
09:09and I know where Houghton is.
09:12Look, I wouldn't ask
09:13if I wasn't totally desperate.
09:15No, I get it.
09:16Do you want a lift or not?
09:22My car's around the corner.
09:24Yeah, thank you.
09:27Ah, get lost.
09:29Oh, you'll...
09:30Oh, you'll thank me later.
09:36Antibiotics.
09:38Seriously, you might have saved my life.
09:40Well, hopefully we saved your leg.
09:41Save for humans, yeah?
09:45They're not like dog.
09:46They're on the bio, too.
09:47No, they're mine from when I got bit.
09:48I just didn't need bold courses, but...
09:51Take two, twice a day.
09:52And don't forget.
09:53I mean, really,
09:54you should be having a tetanus shot,
09:55but I can't give you that.
09:57And I know you're not going to go
09:58and see a doctor.
10:01We're dead grateful.
10:03Keep it to yourselves.
10:04I'm serious.
10:05Where are you staying?
10:08He's sleeping at the pavilion.
10:10Definitely off the drugs.
10:13Yes.
10:14He hasn't used since rehab.
10:16I mean...
10:16Are you sure there's nobody we can call?
10:20He hasn't got anyone by him.
10:22Right, well...
10:24I've done all I can.
10:25More than I should have done, believe me.
10:27Sorry.
10:30See you now.
10:32Thank you, no.
10:33Seriously, I really...
10:34I really appreciate it.
10:38Mate.
10:42It's all.
10:56Right, there's a hostel in Hotton.
10:57I'll call them in the morning.
11:00Mate, I don't know what to say.
11:01Call me Paddy.
11:04Anything.
11:04Just not mate.
11:05Especially in front of the wife.
11:07I'm going to try and get this pasta.
11:08Are you sure it's right in the state, yeah?
11:10Don't make it sound like I've made a massive mistake.
11:15I can't believe how nice you've been.
11:16I've got to phone a couple of clients.
11:18If there's anything I can do, or...
11:20Maybe keep quiet about me patching you up.
11:22Oh, I don't even like it.
11:25Best behaviour.
11:28Hey, lovely.
11:29I've put the kettle on.
11:30Are you talking to you or me?
11:34Not long.
11:36Got a guest.
11:39What's going on?
11:40Hello. I was expecting Vic.
11:59Well, now you've got me. And I think you know why I'm here.
12:03Moira, I paid you. I paid you the money that you needed.
12:07Which you stole.
12:08For this. A piece of my family's history.
12:13You know, it amazes me how sentimental you get when it suits you.
12:17You know, I'd have never accepted your drug money if I'd have known that's what it was.
12:21I think of the trouble you'd still be in.
12:26Well, I'm sorry. Right, I am. I'm sorry it played out the way it did, but...
12:32Now, let me be a good neighbour.
12:38Hey. It's time to keep up with you.
12:41Yeah. Sorry I didn't see you there.
12:43Were we just finishing up?
12:44Yeah, we were. See you later, darling.
12:46See you.
12:47You know, there's no reason we can't get on.
12:50It's time next year we could be talking... tractors. Like old friends.
12:58Did I interrupt something? Is she OK?
13:01Yeah.
13:02Are you sure? Or are you in more trouble?
13:05It's neighbour stuff. Soak, my text.
13:08Don't look at me like that. It's good news.
13:14Bing, I've had a vision.
13:17A vision. Right. Yeah, of course you have.
13:19Of course you have. I have. I've had a vision.
13:25And it involves you and me.
13:28So? Do you want to hear it or not?
13:31I've, er, left April with him.
13:37I wish she'd told me it was about...
13:39I mean, I know why she didn't, but I wish she had.
13:41Yeah, but what actually happened to his leg?
13:43Come here.
13:45April said he caught it on some nails on a fence.
13:50He's trying to find somewhere to sleep.
13:52Has he seen a doctor?
13:54Er, no, but he's been patched up and he's got some antibiotics.
13:59And you're sure? Like, he's not using any more?
14:01If he was using spice, you'd know about it.
14:03He's promised me. They both promised me. All that's over.
14:06It's only one night. There's nowhere else to go.
14:09And he didn't ask. I insisted.
14:12You don't want him sleeping in a pavilion like that, do you?
14:15I don't know. I'll see what information I can get out of April there.
14:18I've got to get to work, so I'll see you.
14:20You will?
14:21Yeah, yeah, I'll keep an eye out. I promise.
14:23Ooh. I've got an appointment.
14:26You're not leaving.
14:27I don't think he's eating. Just making something nice like a pizza.
14:30I'm not being funny about it. I've only, what, two minutes.
14:32You're not leaving him in the house alone.
14:34I'll take him with you, then. Stick him in the car.
14:36He's a nice lad. Just needs a chance.
14:39But, no, because...
14:47They're not hungry?
14:50It's dirt.
14:51You find it on the floor outdoors, if you're not familiar with it.
15:00Yep. I know what it is.
15:03Thanks to you.
15:04I know what it means.
15:06I've been thinking about what you said. About family. About how much sweat and toil they put into this.
15:17Well, it's yours. So you can hang around here whenever you want. And imagine a time where people made an honest living.
15:24Yeah, I know. Or... Imagine the fun we could have farming it.
15:29Robert, why are you still talking about this? We're not farmers. You're definitely not a farmer.
15:34We're Sugdens.
15:35This isn't funny anymore. What are you doing?
15:37I'm being straight with you.
15:38No, you're not. Because you can't be straight with anyone. There's always something else going on. There's always a scam.
15:43There's no scam, Vic. Why does it have to be a scam as soon as I want what everyone else wants?
15:47Decent life. A family around me.
15:52Maybe because of everything you've done.
15:56If I wasn't committed to this, there are a dozen people around here who'd snatch my hand off for these acres.
16:02I could walk away a happy man with enough money to last me a lifetime, but I don't want that.
16:07You're actually being serious.
16:13Um, pepperoni?
16:18Please.
16:19OK, just some veg of them, then, yeah?
16:22It's dead good of you, this, honest.
16:24Well, it's just a pizza.
16:26I know. I meant everything. And I'm really sorry about the hassle.
16:29Ah, don't be sorry, no. Just be hungry, yeah?
16:32So, will you help me with drinks, yeah?
16:38Sit. Sit.
16:40It's cool. Sit.
16:42Where'd you come from?
16:45What kind of mate would that make me if I hadn't been keeping an eye on you?
16:50Because Gaz told me what happened, and...
16:53Thank God you're OK. You are OK, right? Because it sounds pretty nasty.
16:57Listen, I'm really sorry.
16:59Hey, it doesn't matter. None of you.
17:03What matters is you.
17:07How was the leg?
17:09Uh, yeah, it's not that bad.
17:12I think I'll give you some money, at least.
17:14Oh.
17:15Why not?
17:16Because I kind of let you down, didn't I?
17:19Oh, man.
17:20Yeah.
17:21Are you sure?
17:22Yeah.
17:23I appreciate this, and I'll make it right, yeah?
17:26Mm.
17:27Stop worrying.
17:28I'll be in touch.
17:29There is one thing, but I don't want to put pressure on you right now.
17:31But there is, like, one tiny job I can help you with.
17:35OK?
17:36Well...
17:37What are you doing later?
17:38Uh, I don't know.
17:39I mean, I usually have some me-time after a session, go with what was said.
17:52They call it, um, reflection and processing.
17:55Mm.
17:56Well, how about going out and getting absolutely hammered?
17:59Oh.
18:00No, sorry, bad idea.
18:01Um, forget that.
18:02No, I mean, well, there's... there's that approach, too.
18:05Oh, no, sorry, bad idea.
18:06Um, forget that.
18:07No, I mean, well, there's... there's that approach, too.
18:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:15Oh, no, sorry, bad idea.
18:17Um, forget that.
18:18No, I mean, well, there's... there's that approach, too.
18:22I thought I heard you.
18:25Oh, hello.
18:27Hey, um, I was just, um, leaving.
18:31No, don't leave on my account.
18:32I was just on my way out.
18:34Uh, how'd it go?
18:35Did you have fun?
18:36Yeah, I mean, I've got to talk about myself for an hour.
18:40Um, I nearly didn't make it.
18:43Uh, my car's broken.
18:44Oh, no.
18:45Yeah, boss kindly took me.
18:48Oh, sure.
18:49You're gone for ages.
18:51Yeah, we just got some lunch afterwards.
18:56Uh, did you not say you were, do you think?
19:00I did.
19:01And I am.
19:03I'm glad it went well.
19:05Sorry about her.
19:06She was right, though.
19:07I kind of, uh, did have fun.
19:20Yeah, so did I.
19:21Kinda.
19:22But I kind of don't really want to go out.
19:26Yeah.
19:27No, yeah, yeah.
19:28I get that.
19:29But I kind of don't want you to leave either.
19:32So, what do you suggest?
19:37I suggest you, uh, take the stairs.
19:52Yes, ma'am.
19:53Ah!
19:54He's out.
19:55Are you serious?
19:56He's got one working leg.
19:57He offered to give him a lift, but he insisted.
19:58Well, I just think it all got a bit much for him, you know.
19:59He just needed some space.
20:00What have you said?
20:01We're going very well, thank you.
20:02Well, April left and then me and Dylan got a brewery, we started swapping stories.
20:15You were right, though.
20:16Are you serious?
20:17We're going very well, thank you.
20:18Well, April left and then me and Dylan got a brewery.
20:20We started swapping stories.
20:21You were right, though.
20:22We're going very well, thank you. April left and then me and Dylan got a brewery. We started
20:29swapping stories. You were right, though. You had a proper tough life, poor kid.
20:35Come in. All right.
20:40Well, not really, no. What do you think you're doing?
20:44Er, just my stuff from Pavilion.
20:46What did I tell you about using that leg? Had I gone and got it for him.
20:50I can't keep asking you for stuff. I already owe you for pizza.
20:54Ah, you don't owe us nothing.
20:56Exactly. Right, I'm going to go and get a change. It'll smell all, like, cheapy.
21:00Go on, you. Plunk yourself down. Sorry.
21:04Er, can I, er, get you a brew? Er, yeah, but it's not too much bother.
21:10Go on. Milk and sugar? Er, yeah, please.
21:17I've got some lovely sausage from David Sharp.
21:20Oh, yeah.
21:21Now, let me promise you, I'm not the best cook in the world. Paddy likes it, but maybe
21:28he's just being nice.
21:33Oh.
