00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Oh! I was gonna bring this up to you.
00:37You're not completely awful underneath it all, are you?
00:40Well, I was trying to be quiet to try and help you sleep.
00:44Yeah, I must have dozed off again.
00:46Morning. Morning.
00:50I thought you were still in bed. I was gonna do room service.
00:54Oh, thank you. No, I was just seeing Jacob off.
00:57He's, um, gone to town to get a pregnancy test.
01:00Have you had any more bleeding?
01:03Right, well, maybe it was just spotting then.
01:05You know, the doctors told us to expect that.
01:08Maybe, er...
01:11Look, Sarah...
01:12Look, Sarah...
01:13I know, it's super early, but some of these tests, they're really sensitive, you know?
01:18It's gonna be all right. You've been careful and you're strong.
01:21We just need to stay positive, right?
01:23Slippin' eight!
01:28Give me an R-tag, then. Right.
01:30Back in the box, both of you.
01:32Stop messing around, Vinny.
01:34Put yourself together, all right?
01:36All right?
01:40Bit old for all that, aren't you?
01:44Yeah, I'm just...
01:45I'm just trying to clear up.
01:46This place makes a scrapyard look tidy half the time.
01:49I would've thought Gabby would've got a cleaner in.
01:51She wouldn't really strike me as the one who wants to get her hands dirty.
01:53Oh, she's got a cleaner, all right?
01:55You're looking at him?
01:56Well, I suppose we all settle for what we get, don't we?
01:58Hmm.
01:59Sorry, why are you here?
02:00Just...
02:01thought I'd see if you wanted to lift him.
02:03You don't normally bother?
02:05No, you're right, but...
02:06Actually, I thought I'd just come and check on you.
02:09Make sure you're not going out of your mind while Gabby's in Portugal.
02:12You've only got yourself for company.
02:13Yeah, well, look, about yesterday...
02:15Vinny, I've already told you.
02:17You can talk to me, you know.
02:18I won't say a word.
02:19I know, but I was just being stupid, wasn't I?
02:21Overthinking, as per usual.
02:23All right.
02:25Just as long as you're okay.
02:28Bulletproof, mate.
02:29You know me.
02:30Well, I'll tell you what, though.
02:32I think I've figured out who's been dragging you off course and...
02:36...tempting you to the dark side.
02:41It's what's her name, innit?
02:44Muriel's Welding.
02:46Oh!
02:47I've seen you light up when she's round.
02:48Shut up, you!
02:50But you do need to work on your poker face, though.
02:53Cos if I can spot it, Gabby's gonna be on you like a pack of wolves.
02:57You don't want that, do you?
03:04That was cooked.
03:05We've loved that breakfast.
03:06Bespoke.
03:07Absolutely no baked beans anywhere near the vicinity.
03:10Don't tell me you're gonna waste it.
03:14Sorry, mate.
03:15I'm just...
03:16I'm just not in the mood.
03:19I take it things didn't go too well with Steph?
03:21After Manpreet dropped that clanger with Ruby?
03:23What do you think?
03:25I'm...
03:26I'm so sorry.
03:28It's fine.
03:29It's not your fault.
03:30I was egging her on if...
03:32...if I'd have known I wouldn't have...
03:35Lewis, erm...
03:36...a black coffee, please.
03:38Two take away.
03:39Far away from here.
03:40Don't leave on my account.
03:42I was just going.
03:44Look, erm...
03:45I'm really sorry things got so awkward yesterday.
03:48I don't want to make problems for you.
03:50That's fine.
03:51I mean, Steph has kicked me into touch, but...
03:54Yeah.
03:55Other than that...
03:56I didn't even know you were back together.
03:58And I really didn't know that something so...
04:01...well, incredibly inconsequential would...
04:04...cause so much fuss.
04:06Well, no offence.
04:08Yeah, okay.
04:09It's me lying that's done the damage.
04:11She's, like, majorly triggered by people lying to her.
04:16Can't blame her, really, after everything she's been through.
04:19Oh.
04:21Anyway, erm...
04:22Hmm.
04:23Me and you.
04:24Mm-hmm.
04:25You know...
04:27Yeah, all right, Ross.
04:28No need to keep banging on about it.
04:30Pun intended.
04:33Neither here nor there.
04:34No, absolutely nowhere.
04:36In fact, I'm erasing it from the history books.
04:38Forever.
04:39Mm-hmm.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Oh.
04:45Priceless.
04:46Steph.
04:51As if my day couldn't get any better.
04:57There we go, Manpreet.
04:59On the house.
05:04You got them?
05:05Bought a few.
05:06But you know they're not gonna be that accurate this early on.
05:07Yes, I know.
05:08Just humour me.
05:09Whatever the outcome.
05:10We'll get through this together, okay?
05:11Right, it's not always bad news, is it?
05:12Not always.
05:13And Gran's had loads of babies.
05:14She's practically an expert at this point.
05:15And, you know, mother's bodies are designed to protect the baby.
05:17We're so much more resilient than we think.
05:18And it's just a bit of spotting, that's all.
05:19There's nothing to worry about.
05:20Yeah, yeah.
05:21No, it's just that I know you're always looking for a steady pair of hands.
05:23And, erm, he's a bright kid.
05:24Yeah, he's a hard worker.
05:25Aye, aye, aye.
05:26This is where you're ironed out.
05:27I didn't realize you had the other day.
05:28Oh, sorry, sorry!
05:29I didn't realize you were on the phone.
05:30Sorry about that.
05:31Oh, alright then.
05:32Well, you got me number in case anything changes?
05:33Yeah.
05:34Yeah.
05:35There's nothing to worry about.
05:37Yeah, yeah, no, it's just that I know you're always looking for a steady pair of hands and, erm, he's a bright kid.
05:43Yeah, he's a hard worker.
05:44Aye aye, this is where you're hiding. I didn't realise you had the day off.
05:46Shh!
05:47Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't realise you were on the phone.
05:48Sorry about that. Erm...
05:51Oh, alright then. Well, you've got my number in case anything changes.
05:54Yeah.
05:55We'll wait till here then.
05:56Alright, bye.
05:58Just ringing around looking for employment for your man here.
06:00Oh, any joy?
06:02No.
06:02The Georgian Dragon said to send a CV over. A flipping CV for a pot washer?
06:06Alright, George, when you're holding your psychometric evaluations, I wonder.
06:11Cheers for trying, though.
06:13I wish I could get you a few hours.
06:15Thanks, Marlon, I know, just don't worry.
06:17I'm doing my best to wangle it.
06:18I know, it'd make a certain someone happy keeping you within arm's reach.
06:22We'll find something, I'm sure.
06:24I haven't spent half my life researching the pubs of North Yorkshire for nothing.
06:27Yeah!
06:27Yeah, there's gonna be millions of places crying out for a talented young man like yourself.
06:30Just somewhere nice and local where I can keep a good eye on you.
06:37It's not like it was a big deal.
06:39It's just two grown-ups doing...
06:42Hey, at least you're getting some action.
06:44Yeah, true.
06:45The point is, Vanessa, at what cost?
06:47Aunt Preet, you haven't done anything wrong?
06:49Well, I'd rather not have my dirty laundry aired in the village.
06:54At least you've got some dirty laundry too, eh?
06:56Oh, I feel like I'm fading into grey.
07:00All I seem to do these days is go to work, look after Johnny, pay the bills, rinse and repeat.
07:06Look, I know I promised you to find a soulmate, but I think my attempts of matchmaking have led to nothing but carnage.
07:14I think it's better off if you paddle your own canoe.
07:17Yeah, I lost my paddle a while back.
07:19That's the problem.
07:22Look, there's a lot to be said for the quiet life.
07:25Yeah, yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.
07:29Whilst I'm running round my little hamster wheel, gnawing at the bars.
07:33Steph!
07:41Steph!
07:43Oh, I've been trying to call you.
07:45Yeah, well, I've not been picking up, Russ, so maybe take it home.
07:47Look, I shouldn't have lied to you. I should have just told you the truth.
07:53Listen, I'm sorry, okay?
07:55I got it wrong, but me and Manpreet, we're not...
07:59Look, there's nothing...
08:00There's nothing going on between me and Manpreet, okay?
08:02Well, you looked pretty cosy in the cafe when I walked in on you.
08:05See, this is why I didn't tell you.
08:07Look, Russ, I am not trying to blow things out of proportion, okay?
08:12And my therapist keeps telling me I cannot control what other people do.
08:16I'm not just other people, though, am I?
08:19Look, the last thing I wanted to do was upset you.
08:22I am not upset.
08:24I am furious at myself for trusting you.
08:28Steph, please.
08:30Russ, it's fine, okay?
08:30Look, the bottom line is, I need to be around people I can trust,
08:33and right now, you are not one of those people.
08:43That's it.
08:45Five minutes.
08:46Let me see.
09:01It's too early to rely on tests, you know that.
09:03Yeah, so everyone keeps saying.
09:04Well, let's just take it easy.
09:05Oh, no, do you know what? It's fine.
09:07I know it is, I don't care what the stupid test says.
09:09Look, Sarah...
09:10You can do another one.
09:11You've got loads, right?
09:12Look, it's gonna be all right.
09:14Sarah, I need to tell you something.
09:15I had a fall.
09:19What?
09:21When?
09:22When I was out walking.
09:23Nothing crazy happened, okay?
09:25I just...
09:26I lost my footing and I fell over.
09:28Grant, you were supposed to be taking it easy.
09:30We don't know if the fall had anything to do with this.
09:32Of course it did.
09:33It obviously did, didn't it?
09:34I don't know what to say.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:37You knew how much this meant to me.
09:38How could you have been so careless?
09:41Sarah.
09:42Sarah!
09:59She's upset.
10:00And she's bound to be.
10:02She's just lashing out.
10:04She's right now, isn't she?
10:06We shouldn't have been messing around in the woods.
10:09We shouldn't have risked it.
10:11Charity, we've been through this.
10:13You...
10:14Stop doing that to yourself.
10:16What were we even thinking?
10:19Well, you can try again.
10:21I'd be lucky if she ever wants to speak to me again.
10:23Let alone ask me to be a surrogate.
10:25I've...
10:26I've let her down.
10:27No, you've not, Charity.
10:29You...
10:30You have gone above and beyond.
10:32And we always knew that...
10:34this was a shot in the dark, didn't we?
10:37And, you know, maybe this is nature's way of saying that...
10:40it's not meant to be.
10:45I'm just saying...
10:47everything happens for a reason, doesn't it?
10:50And...
10:51maybe this is for the best.
10:53How can this be for the best?
10:56Well, like I've just said, maybe it's not meant to be.
10:59Have you ever actually really truthfully been on board with any of this?
11:06I don't think that that's fair.
11:08Oh, my God, Mac.
11:10You are such a liar!
11:12A liar!
11:15And after everything you said...
11:18you're relieved, aren't you?
11:21Oh, Charity, come on!
11:22You're pleased that I have lost Sarah's embryo!
11:24No!
11:25Charity, please!
11:26That is not...
11:27You're saying it's for the best!
11:31Get out!
11:32What?
11:33Get out!
11:34Of my house!
11:35Before I do something I might regret!
11:37Here we are, madam.
11:54Fresh from the Colombian jungles, via Nicola's Gracie Spoon.
11:58Oh!
11:59Sorry, Paddy.
12:00I was just, er...
12:01here to pick up my laundry and pay Mum my iron-in-told money.
12:04Still doing that for you?
12:05Yeah.
12:06Even worse at ironing than she is.
12:08And Gabby reckons I can't run around being a total scruff all my life,
12:11so it's just, yes.
12:12It's the arrangement.
12:13Well, she's gone into town.
12:14Okay, well, you best have this, then.
12:16Cool.
12:17Erm...
12:18Oh, and also, I like a starch collar and creases down in front of my jeans.
12:24Are you still looking for jobs for Dylan?
12:27Erm...
12:29I'm going to say yes.
12:31Oh, come on, Paddy, don't compromise me like that.
12:33It's better be Mum's sanctioned, that's all I'm saying.
12:35Oh, no!
12:36Oh, God, no!
12:37No, no, it's nothing like that.
12:38It's, erm...
12:39Well, if you must know,
12:42I'm doing a shift working for that helpline thing that I do.
12:46Actually, I shouldn't be saying anything.
12:47It's all very confidential.
12:49That's all right.
12:50I won't say a word, promise.
12:51Sorry, if I'd have realised, you know.
12:53I'll just...
12:54I'll leave me to it, yeah?
12:55No, no, I've just clocked off.
12:56It's all right.
12:57Your timing's bob on.
12:58Sit down.
12:59Okay.
13:02You all right?
13:04Er...
13:05Yes, yes.
13:06I'm all right.
13:07It's just that...
13:08It makes you realise there's a lot of people
13:11having it really hard at the moment,
13:13and, erm...
13:14It just takes its toll.
13:15A little bit.
13:16I know, but...
13:17At least there's people like you
13:18doing their best to help.
13:19Yeah.
13:20I wish I had access to online support
13:22when I was growing up.
13:23Had no-one to talk to, and Kenneth...
13:26...did what he did.
13:29Er...
13:30Sorry, the man I thought was my dad.
13:32Oh!
13:33Right, yeah.
13:34Sorry, I mean...
13:35That must have been really hard for you.
13:36Mm!
13:37Well, my mum didn't know how to deal with it
13:38and neither did anybody else,
13:39so we all just cracked on.
13:40Nobody talked about anything.
13:42At all.
13:44I think at least these days...
13:46...if you need it...
13:47...you can seek out support.
13:51No matter what's going on...
13:53...no-one needs to do it alone.
13:55And, actually...
13:56...I wish I'd got help when me and Chas split up,
13:59because that would have saved me and everybody else
14:01a massive shed-load of worry.
14:08Cheers.
14:10Oh!
14:11It's so awful!
14:12Why'd you have to do business with him in this?
14:13Are you okay?
14:16Just ignore me.
14:17I'm...
14:18I'm fine.
14:19We know you're not fine.
14:20I just...
14:21I just...
14:22I just can't deal with it.
14:23It's really set me back.
14:24Come here.
14:25No, I opened up to him,
14:26and I thought we had this proper connection,
14:27and I wanted to believe him,
14:29and I did believe him.
14:31Oh, dear.
14:32No, I trusted him.
14:33And then I let my guard down,
14:35and I just feel like I'm...
14:37...back at square one.
14:39No.
14:40No.
14:41No.
14:42No.
14:43No.
14:44No.
14:45No.
14:46No.
14:47No.
14:48No.
14:49No.
14:50No.
14:51No.
14:52Mm-hmm.
15:21You're doing all right?
15:25You've heard, then.
15:29Charity message.
15:33Sarah isn't mine.
15:36I just have to sleep on the sofa.
15:39I left her tucked under a blanket.
15:41I, uh...
15:42just needed a minute.
15:51I just wish I could do something to make it bad.
16:03I feel useless.
16:10Being there's enough.
16:11You don't have to have fancy words or fix everything.
16:17Just stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
16:22That's all you can do.
16:28She's a lot stronger than she looks, you know.
16:31She's had to be.
16:32We'll get through this.
16:36It'll be all right.
16:37She's a lot stronger.
17:07You shut off that quickly if you got your laundry.
17:10Oh, oh, oh, yeah, I did, didn't I?
17:12What am I like?
17:13Sneaky little weasel, that's what you like.
17:16Sorry, I'm only mucking about.
17:18If she's daft enough to do it for you, then...
17:20Well, it's like you said, I should be doing it myself, shouldn't I?
17:22I mean, sooner rather than later, we all need to grow up, don't we?
17:25You all right?
17:26You don't see him yourself?
17:28Yeah, yeah, of course, Sam.
17:29Right, you know, I'm always here if you want to offload or chew anything over.
17:34Thanks, Paddy, yeah.
17:36It's good to know I've got a four-star counselling colonel on hand if I need it.
17:39Well, I wouldn't go that far.
17:41What I would say is one of the very few perks of getting older is you get a bit of perspective
17:46on what's worth worrying about and what really isn't.
17:50Yeah, yeah, sure.
17:51It's just, you know, with the wedding, you know, getting close, it's just...
17:56It's making me reflect on things, that's all.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Bit weird if you weren't.
18:01But, you know, it's part time I stepped up and took ironing by the horns.
18:05You know, show them all what I'm made of.
18:07Do you, do you, erm...
18:08Do you want a drink?
18:09Yeah?
18:10Yeah.
18:14Well, they actually wanted to run away with circus.
18:17But our little town was just right cruddy.
18:19Never came anywhere near.
18:20Just there's no room to get tented up.
18:23I can imagine you in circus.
18:25With, erm...
18:26What sets with big shiny hats?
18:29Sparkler.
18:30Er...
18:31Ringmasters.
18:32Yeah.
18:33Or a clown.
18:35And my mum said she'd give me bus fare.
18:37I'd pay him to take you off me hands.
18:39Dark sense of humour.
18:41Nah, she weren't joking.
18:43Can I join circus with ya?
18:44Blimey!
18:45Are you two joined at the upper summit?
18:46Well, there's nothing to do around here, so we're just hanging out.
18:47You have got all the friends, you know.
18:48Share the love.
18:49I'm sorry.
18:50Did somebody just drop the L word?
18:51Quang!
18:52Oops!
18:53Erm, I thought you were going bowling with Arthur later.
18:54Yeah, I don't know if I can be bothered.
18:55You just said yourself, you're bored!
18:57It'll do you good to get around about, lolling around all day, doing nothing with Dylan.
19:01Sorry, no offence.
19:02I suppose so.
19:03Do you fancy it?
19:04Well, I'd go if I were you, otherwise people will stop asking.
19:05If you're going to be around here, you'll be around here, so we're just hanging out.
19:07You have got all the friends, you know.
19:08Share the love!
19:09I'm sorry.
19:10Did somebody just drop the L word?
19:11Clang!
19:12Oops!
19:13Erm, I thought you were going bowling with Arthur later.
19:14Yeah, I don't know if I can be bothered.
19:15You just said yourself, you're bored.
19:17You'll do good to get around about, lolling around all day.
19:18Sorry, no offence.
19:19Do you fancy it?
19:20Well, I can go if I were you, otherwise people will stop asking.
19:26Look, it's not just me and Arthur going, there's a right crowd of us.
19:31Erm, nah, I'm alright.
19:34To be fair, I'll stick in my own smelly shoes.
19:37Well, I can rid my piggy bank.
19:38You won't have to pay anything.
19:40Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
19:42It's okay.
19:44Just, you go out with your mates.
19:47It's only one night.
19:48I don't want you peeing for me all the time.
19:51Just go and do your thing.
19:53I'm a big boy, alright?
19:54I'm alright by myself.
20:14Is it okay that I come in?
20:16Yeah, sure.
20:17Look, Charity, I, erm, I'm sorry.
20:29I'm just worried about you.
20:31But if I'm being honest with myself, yes, I am relieved that you are not under any kind of risk anymore.
20:44So all the time, when you're saying you'll support my decision, do whatever you can, it's all been a load of rubbish?
20:52No.
20:53Well, which is it then?
20:54Come on, make your mind up.
20:55You can't have it both ways.
20:56Well...
20:57I am trying to explain to you...
20:58Do you know, I can't believe how insensitive you've been, actually.
21:01Given the circumstances.
21:03Right, what do you mean?
21:05You practically dragged me out for that walk.
21:06Charity, no, I didn't.
21:07Yeah, you did.
21:08I'd never have been in those woods if you hadn't insisted we go.
21:11Charity.
21:12This is all your fault.
21:13Everything would be alright if I hadn't listened to you.
21:16So I hope you're happy, Matt.
21:18I hope you're happy that you've got what you wanted.
21:35Charity, what is wrong with me thinking about how this affects everybody else?
21:40Well, you've been strapped to this crazy ride of Sarah's and, yes, I get it that she desperately wants a kid, but what about everyone else?
21:48Oh, wow.
21:49Truth's really coming out now, isn't it?
21:50I am just saying that you're not doing yourself any favours whatsoever by going along with this, at best, desperate plan.
21:57Oh, congratulations.
21:58You've really excelled yourself this time.
22:01You just can't do it, can you?
22:03You can't see beyond your own wants and needs for one second.
22:07Do you know what?
22:08I must need my head testing for marrying you.
22:27Well, I wasn't expecting to see you here today.
22:32Well, you know, I thought I might as well try working on something that can actually be fixed.
22:36You have got other embryos?
22:40Yeah, but I don't have the other two and a half grand to use them, sadly.
22:43So, game over.
22:45I could always help you out.
22:50No, you can't.
22:52Well, your grand did.
22:54Well, yeah, I know, but...
22:56Well, you and Moira, you're struggling to keep the farm open, aren't you?
22:59I will find the money if I need to.
23:03Yeah, but what if it happens again?
23:05And what if he doesn't?
23:07I don't know if I can handle trying again, even if grand was up for it.
23:10I don't know if I've got it in me.
23:12One thing I know about you since you were knee-high to a grasshopper
23:15is that you never, ever give up on anything.
23:18I wonder where I get that from.
23:20All right?
23:32Er, not really.
23:34No.
23:35I think Cain's at the garage if that's who you want.
23:37Yeah, I'm not here to see Cain.
23:38I'm here to see you.
23:40Let's not do this.
23:41I've got a lot on.
23:42Well, yeah.
23:43We all know what a busy boy you are.
23:45You know how vulnerable Steph is.
23:48And what she's been through.
23:50I do, yeah.
23:51And you also know what it's taken for her to even start to recover.
23:54I know.
23:56There's real feelings there on both sides.
23:58Well, your actions are saying otherwise.
23:59Look at what I've been through with her.
24:01I have stood by her through everything.
24:04I've kept your secrets.
24:06I've been patient and I have put up with a lot.
24:09But it's all been worth it because I love her.
24:12And she knows that.
24:16So there you have it.
24:18I love her.
24:19I would do anything for her.
24:22The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her.
24:25Yeah, well you have hurt her.
24:27She's in a state.
24:29She feels betrayed.
24:32Like she's back at square one.
24:34If I could undo it.
24:35Yeah, but you can't though, can you?
24:37The damage is done.
24:43If you love her, right?
24:44Like you say you do.
24:46You need to leave her alone.
24:48That would be the kindest, most selfless thing you can do for her right now.
24:52You stay away from her.
24:55Have you got that?
24:56Good.
24:57Ah!
24:58Come on, come on, come on.
24:59No, no, no, no, no!
25:00Yes!
25:01Thanks, Paddy.
25:02You know, for letting me blow off some steam.
25:04Anything.
25:05Erm, just don't tell Marlon he can be a bit funny.
25:06And look, I'm sorry for being a bit narky as well.
25:07I just want everything to be perfect for the wedding, you know, for Gabby.
25:08I've got to go.
25:09Paulie Hefferys.
25:10I've got to go.
25:11Paulie Hefferys at Devonish Farm.
25:12I'm on call.
25:13Oh, okay.
25:14Good luck.
25:15And I'll, er, I'll see you next time for the rematch, eh?
25:16Yeah, right.
25:17I'll see you next time for the rematch, eh?
25:18Yeah, right.
25:19I'll see you next time.
25:20I'll see you next time.
25:21I'll see you next time.
25:22I'll see you next time.
25:23Thanks, Paddy.
25:24You know, for letting me blow off some steam.
25:25Anything.
25:26Erm, just don't tell Marlon.
25:27He can be a bit funny.
25:28And look, I'm sorry for being a bit narky as well.
25:29I just want everything to be perfect for the wedding, you know, for Gabby.
25:32I've got to go.
25:34Paulie Heffer at Devonish Farm.
25:36I'm on call.
25:37Oh, okay.
25:38Good luck.
25:39And I'll, er, I'll see you next time for the rematch, eh?
25:42Yeah, right.
26:09I'm sorry about earlier.
26:11I didn't mean to embarrass you.
26:13I know.
26:14You were being kind.
26:15You're always kind.
26:20You could do so much better than me.
26:22I've literally got note to offer you.
26:24Dylan.
26:25I'm just being honest.
26:27Marlon knows it.
26:29Can tell by the way he looks at me.
26:31Right, he thinks you're great.
26:33He tolerates me, for your sake.
26:36Listen, don't get me wrong, I get it.
26:39He's right.
26:40I've got no money.
26:41I've got no job.
26:43And 0.00 chance of getting one.
26:47All I'm doing is dragging you down.
26:49Okay, that's not true.
26:53Look, I don't care about any of that stuff, anyway.
26:56Or stupid bowling.
26:57I'd rather be here with you.
27:00Loser.
27:03Diva.
27:04Failed circus runaway.
27:07Who's that?
27:10Er, just Paddy.
27:11I'll, er, I'll ring you back later.
27:13It will get better.
27:15We'll figure it out.
27:20How come you always know the right thing to say?
27:25Just cos.
27:28We don't need money to have a good time.
27:31As long as we're together, that's all that matters.
27:33Where'd you get to?
27:34Er, just had some, er, business stuff that I needed to sort out.
27:44Caleb.
27:45What?
27:46Why not a word with Ross?
27:52She won't thank you for interfering.
27:53Well, I'm not just gonna stand back and watch while she falls apart again.
27:59Hey.
28:02What are you two scheming up now?
28:04Nothing, aren't I?
28:06Right, yeah, subtle.
28:08You two need to work on her cover stories, that's all I can say.
28:11You seem a bit brighter.
28:14Yeah, well, I am actually.
28:18I have just booked a yoga retreat in Rome.
28:21And yeah, I might even do a bit of travelling afterwards.
28:23I don't know yet.
28:24I will think about it when I am deep in my Syvesna pose.
28:32What? I thought you'd be happy for me.
28:35I just don't like the idea of you being on your own.
28:39No, it would be good for me to get away.
28:42You know, and actually give me some time to work on myself for a bit.
28:46It will be okay.
28:49Look, I just need some downtime away from here.
28:52Away from Ross?
28:54Yeah, maybe, but also from all the reminders of Anthony.
28:57You know, I honestly think it would be good for me to put a bit of space between myself and all the memories, you know?
29:03It would be good for me to get away.
29:05Recalibrate.
29:07And get my zine back on.
29:09Can't you do that here?
29:11No.
29:12I need to focus on my recovery, away from any distractions.
29:17And, you know, it's not going to be forever.
29:19And I can do my therapy online.
29:21I need to do this.
29:23Okay.
29:25So when are you thinking of going?
29:28Tonight.
29:30Tonight?
29:31What?
29:33Don't look at me like that.
29:34This is me taking positive affirmative action.
29:37You should be proud of me.
29:39We are.
29:40We always are.
29:43You know, you two should, er, think about getting away yourselves.
29:49You're both looking a little bit frayed around the edges.
30:01Can we nick her passport again?
30:02Ha!
30:03What, lock her in a room?
30:07We're gonna have to let her go, won't we?
30:09I don't think we've got much choice.
30:10Have you been here long?
30:11Oh, I'm sorry.
30:12I think I might need to see some idea if I'm getting nicked by the fumbleies.
30:17Yeah.
30:18I don't know if getting smashed is the best coping strategy.
30:20That's all.
30:21Who said anything about getting smashed?
30:22No.
30:24Who said anything about getting smashed?
30:25No.
30:26Look, charity.
30:27I know today will have been tough.
30:28Oh, you reckon, do you?
30:29Broken my granddaughter's heart.
30:30Blown my marriage to smithereens.
30:31What?
30:32Now I just need a bolt of lightning to finish me off and I'll have scored a hat-trick.
30:33What?
30:34It's unlikely indoors, isn't it?
30:35No.
30:36No.
30:37No.
30:38No.
30:39No.
30:40No.
30:41No.
30:42No.
30:43No.
30:44No.
30:45No.
30:46That's menos of a howling to laugh he does, don't they?
30:47No.
30:48No.
30:49No.
30:50It's ripe, predominantly sum of this world to be dead.
30:51And then what's opened that way?
30:52Oh?
30:53I can't miss anything, do you?
30:54Broke up my granddaughter's heart?
30:55Blown my marriage to smithereens.
30:56What?
30:57Now I just need a bolt of lightning to finish me off and I'll have scored a hat-trick.
30:58It's unlikely indoors, isn't it?
31:03Still they say things come in threes, don't they?
31:04So come on then, world.
31:05Bring it on.
31:06What else have you got?
31:07Okay...
31:09You and I both know day drunk's never a good look.
31:13Well, from where I'm sitting, Vanessa, i'm reckoning it's for
31:16Quite appealing.
31:17Look, why don't you come back home with me?
31:19Have a coffee or something.
31:21Might even do you a bit of toast if you stop calling the universe out for a fight.
31:24Is that the best you can offer me?
31:27A bit of toast?
31:29Well, you've lost your mojo, babe.
31:32All right, come on.
31:34Let's get you off the streets.
31:36Vanessa, I am not your problem anymore.
31:39And I'm not leaving you here.
31:41I'm totally fine.
31:42Give me that.
31:45Whoops.
31:46Do you know the dustpan and brushes?
31:49Oh, Marlon, accidents do happen.
31:51You're a mess.
31:52Yes.
31:53I'm a hot mess, everyone.
31:55Oh, just go.
31:56I'll get it sorted.
31:58Come on, then, Mrs. Modesty.
32:00Let's go before he changes his mind.
32:02I've missed you, you bossy cow.
32:06Oh, Ness.
32:07I've really gone and done it this time.
32:10I don't think I'm going to be able to fix it.
32:12Come on.
32:13If you could have him overnight, you'll be doing me a massive favour.
32:27Oh, thanks.
32:31You are a total star.
32:32Flipping heck, Vanessa.
32:33You've only asked her to babysit.
32:35It's not like she's invented a cure for cancer.
32:38Go on, where's Trace?
32:39Why ain't she babysitting?
32:40Er, she's gone to visit Cara.
32:42Smooth things over after Nate's funeral.
32:43Oh.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Oh.
32:49All right.
32:50Enough of the unbreakable act.
32:52You don't have to do that with me.
32:54What do you want to do?
32:56Do you want me to try and talk to Sarah?
32:57I don't know, Vanessa.
33:00I honestly don't know.
33:02You know it's not the end of the road, right?
33:04She's got more embryos.
33:05Mm-hmm.
33:06Yeah, I mean, if we could get the money together, to have the embryos implanted, yeah.
33:12Well, there's got to be a way.
33:13You should have seen the way she looked at me, Ness.
33:16She knows as well as I do.
33:18It was a one-shot deal, wasn't it?
33:23I've let her down.
33:24I've let her down so badly.
33:26She's bound to be upset, but she'll bounce back.
33:28You both will.
33:30You're warriors.
33:30You know, I really thought I could do it.
33:35And after everything she's been through, I just wanted her to know that she wasn't alone,
33:39that she didn't have to fight everyone and everything all by herself.
33:44Because I know what that's like.
33:47And I'm not letting that happen.
33:49Not to Sarah.
33:49Not on my watch.
33:50I mean, I'm supposed to be the mighty, chuffing, charity dingle.
33:54I'm supposed to be able to do anything I put my mind to.
33:58It's not your fault.
34:00I feel like it is.
34:10Kane said you've been into work.
34:13Thought we'd agreed you were going to take it easy.
34:15Yeah, I thought it might be easier, keeping myself busy.
34:19That was until he sent me home after a little valve tap on someone's tyre.
34:23I think the words he used was liability.
34:26His usual cuddly self, then.
34:27He offered to pay for another MBO transfer if he wanted.
34:34Wow.
34:36I mean, he said he was going to speak to you.
34:38I saw him earlier.
34:40But he didn't let on that nugget of info.
34:42I know.
34:43Yeah.
34:45What?
34:46Well, it's not exactly like him and Moira have got money to be tricking around at the moment,
34:50is it?
34:50Not with this massive waterfine hanging over them.
34:53We don't have to decide right away.
34:55Might be worth to just take a bit of time.
34:58Take the pressure off.
34:59Look, I totally get it if you want to walk away.
35:02What?
35:02I know you're just trying to do the right thing by me, but if I don't try again and there's
35:06no chance of us having a baby, then there's nothing saying you have to be with me.
35:10Sarah.
35:10Look, and I know we're engaged, Jacob, but honestly, I don't want to hold you to anything.
35:14Just stop it.
35:17I know what you're doing, and it's not going to work.
35:20I want to be with you no matter what happens.
35:25I love you, Sarah's hugged in, so stop pushing me away.
35:30Come here.
35:35He said he was totally behind it, and then when it fails, all of a sudden he's like,
35:41oh, well, maybe it's for the best.
35:44I mean, don't just say what I want you to say.
35:46Tell me the truth.
35:47Truth?
35:48I mean, you're supposed to be my partner.
35:50You know, the clues in the title.
35:55I don't know.
35:56I just want to make my equalness.
35:58Do you think that's too much to ask?
36:00You're preaching to the choir here.
36:02Oh, yeah.
36:03I'm so sorry.
36:05Listen to me offload into you of all people about my chronically cursed love life.
36:10Offload away.
36:11This is a safe space for offloading.
36:14I don't know.
36:14Well, maybe I've just made another massive mistake.
36:18Charming, thanks.
36:20No, shut up.
36:21You know what I mean.
36:22I've seen another side to Mackenzie over the past few weeks, babe.
36:30I don't think I like it.
36:33Look, what you're doing for Sarah is heroic.
36:35And if he can't see that, if he can't step up, then that's his look out.
36:40Anyway, let's get some food into you.
36:42Soak up some of that alcohol.
36:43No, eating's cheating.
36:45I'll do her some pasta.
36:46Look, you will patch things up with him.
36:52Emotions are just running high.
36:54Just let the dust settle a bit.
36:57I should have known which side my bread was putt.
37:00Oh, I was a fool to let you go for him.
37:03This was an absolute disaster.
37:13I just...
37:14I just didn't think that she and I would end up being collateral damage.
37:17So then just speak to her.
37:19Well, I've tried that, Aaron.
37:20But you know what she's like?
37:21It's like trying to juggle a live hand grenade.
37:23I thought you liked being cats on your toes.
37:25Yeah, I should do, darling.
37:26I see you've got your priorities sorted out.
37:28Sorry, Marlon.
37:31I'm actually just in here for a quiet pint.
37:34If that's all right with you.
37:35Or even if it isn't.
37:37Listen, nobody's saying this situation is easy for you.
37:43You're round, innit?
37:44All right, fine, but I'd make that last if I was you.
37:47Right, fine, Marlon.
37:47I will have another pint whether this tightwad here is going to pay for it or not.
37:51The last thing that charity needs right now is you getting steaming.
37:56Are you going to get me the beer, or...?
37:58You've got a family at home that need you to hold it together.
38:02Oh, wow, Aaron.
38:03That is beyond wise.
38:06Wow.
38:06I will bear that in mind.
38:07Oh, grow up.
38:09I'm trying to do you a favourite.
38:11You've got a choice of how you want to handle this.
38:14But sitting here drowning your little sorrows is not the right move, is it?
38:18And we both know the longer you leave it, the harder it's going to be for you to fix it.
38:26Feel tight just leaving you.
38:27Don't be daft.
38:28I'll still be here when you get back.
38:31And I don't even like bowling that much, to be fair.
38:34Now you tell me.
38:36Don't miss us too much, eh?
38:40I'll try my best.
38:41I won't be too late.
39:02Be as late as you like.
39:04How long have you been there for?
39:06Long enough.
39:09I thought I'd swing by, make sure you're all right.
39:11You have been ignoring my messages.
39:14Yeah, sorry.
39:15I've been busy.
39:15So I can see.
39:17Cass are bleeding over.
39:18Good on you.
39:19Here, get your new girlfriend something special.
39:23I don't need your charity.
39:25You won the lottery, have you?
39:27No, I'm going to get a job.
39:29I know.
39:30And in the meantime, this will tide you over.
39:34What's up?
39:34It's from May to 4, isn't it?
39:37So that's, um, April?
39:40Yeah.
39:41Nice.
39:42Hold on.
39:48Oh, I'm not going to go home yet.
39:51I'll just get my head better off.
39:52I'm better off giving them some space.
39:53Don't you know what, mate?
39:54Why don't you just do what you want?
39:55I'm sure you'll be doing them a favour anyway.
39:57See you later.
40:01Texting Muriel, are we?
40:02Yeah, right.
40:03Can't leave her alone.
40:06No, no, I'm, um, I'm working, actually.
40:07I'm just looking at crushers.
40:09Thinking about getting one foot yard.
40:11Well, that's exciting, isn't it?
40:13Even more tragic than him, working this late.
40:15Need to get a grip.
40:16Sorry, we're closed.
40:36Oh, it's all right.
40:38I just want to sit.
40:39I can make an exception, seeing as it's you.
40:41Nah, you're all right.
40:43It's hard anyway, though.
40:46Steph was in earlier.
40:48Oh?
40:50You look exactly the same as you do now.
40:54I'll speak to her.
40:55You do have a job.
40:58She's heading to Italy and beyond.
40:59Get some air miles between you and her.
41:02Oh, well.
41:03Probably for the best.
41:06Is it?
41:08Caleb told me to stay out of her life.
41:11Don't think it was up for debate.
41:13But why would you do that?
41:15Because it's...
41:16It's just...
41:18It's just better that way.
41:21Better for who?
41:21Not for you and Steph.
41:24I've seen the way you look at each other.
41:25The way you are together.
41:28You're not giving up this easily, are you?
41:31I thought you were a fighter.
41:37When did she say she was going?
41:39About five minutes ago.
41:42You're absolutely sure about this?
41:53Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
41:55Okay.
41:56Well, any problems, you just call us, okay?
41:58Do you know me or your dad's number off by heart
41:59in case you lose your phone?
42:00No.
42:01Stop ratting.
42:03Yep.
42:04Let's get that somewhere safe.
42:05Oh.
42:07Mm.
42:11Steph?
42:12Lewis said you were leaving.
42:16Cheers, Lewis.
42:18It's none of your business, what she's doing.
42:20We don't want to see him, okay?
42:22Don't go.
42:24Well, I've got nothing keeping me here, have I?
42:26Right, well...
42:27I'll come with you.
42:28No.
42:29No, you won't.
42:32Please.
42:33Just stay.
42:35We can work through this.
42:36I love you.
42:49Airport, please.
42:53Don't do this.
42:54It doesn't have to be like this.
42:55Call yourself a hostess.
43:11Have you got any more of this squirreled away?
43:13Er, you've had more than enough.
43:15I'll be carrying you home at this rate.
43:17Oh, no.
43:18I don't want to go home, Ness.
43:20Oh, don't be silly.
43:20No, please.
43:21Do not make me go home.
43:22I don't want to see any of them.
43:24And anyway, I'm not in a fit state, am I?
43:27Fine.
43:28I'll make up Tracy's bed.
43:30I'm not staying there.
43:34Pleasure coming with me.
43:36You know, to...
43:38keep me company.
43:39I don't want to see any of them.
44:09...
