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.
05:25Oi-ey, this is way right, I didn't realise you the other day.
05:27Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't realise you're on the phone.
05:28Sorry about that.
05:29Oh, all right, then.
05:30Well, you've got my number in case anything changes.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Yeah, I know you've got my number in case anything changes.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Oh, sorry.
05:39It's just that I know you're always looking for a steady pair of hands and he's a bright
05:42kid.
05:43Yeah.
05:44He's a hard worker.
05:45Aye aye.
05:46This is where you are.
05:47I didn't realise you had the day.
05:48Oh.
05:49Sorry.
05:50Sorry.
05:51I didn't realise you were on the phone.
05:52Sorry about that.
05:53Erm.
05:54Oh alright then.
05:55Well you've got my number in case anything changes.
05:56Yeah.
05:57We'll wait till here then.
05:58Alright.
05:59Bye.
06:00Just ringing around looking for employment for your man here.
06:01Oh.
06:02Any joy?
06:03No.
06:04The Georgian dragon said to send a CV over.
06:05A flipping CV for a pot washer.
06:07George.
06:09When 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.
06:16I know.
06:17Just don't worry.
06:18I'm doing my best to wangle it.
06:19I know.
06:20It'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.
06:28Yeah there's going to be millions of places crying out for a talented young man like yourself.
06:31Just 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.
06:41Hey.
06:42At least you're getting some action.
06:44Yeah true.
06:45The point is Vanessa.
06:46At what cost?
06:47Aunt Preet.
06:48You haven't done anything wrong.
06:49Well I'd rather not have my dirty laundry aired in the village.
06:53At least you've got some dirty laundry to air.
06:56Oh.
06:57I feel like I'm fading into grey.
06:59All I seem to do these days is go to work.
07:02Look after Johnny.
07:03Pay the bills.
07:04Rinse and repeat.
07:05Look I know I promised you to find a soul mate.
07:09But 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.
07:18I lost my paddle a while back.
07:19That's the problem.
07:20Look.
07:21There's a lot to be said for the quiet life.
07:24Yeah.
07:25Yeah.
07:26That's what I keep telling myself.
07:27Yeah.
07:28Mm-hmm.
07:29Whilst I'm running round my little hamster wheel gnawing at the bars.
07:39Steph.
07:41Steph.
07:42Oh.
07:43I've been trying to call you.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Well I've not been picking up Russ so maybe take it home.
07:47Look.
07:48I shouldn't have lied to you.
07:49I should have just told you the truth.
07:52Listen.
07:53I'm sorry.
07:54Okay.
07:55I got it wrong.
07:56But me and Manpreet we're not.
07:58Look.
07:59There's nothing.
08:00There's nothing going on between me and Manpreet.
08:01Okay.
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.
08:08Russ.
08:09I am not trying to blow things out of proportion.
08:11Okay.
08:12The therapist keeps telling me I cannot control what other people do.
08:15I'm not just other people though am I?
08:18Look.
08:19The last thing I wanted to do was upset you.
08:21I am not upset.
08:23I am furious.
08:25At myself.
08:26For trusting you.
08:27Steph.
08:28Please.
08:29Russ.
08:30It's fine okay.
08:31Look 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.
08:52Let me see.
08:53It's too early to rely on Tess 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.
09:06I know it is I don't care what the stupid Tess says.
09:08Look Sarah.
09:09You can do another one.
09:10You've got loads right.
09:11Look it's gonna be alright.
09:12Sarah I need to tell you something.
09:18I had a fall.
09:20What?
09:21When?
09:22When I was out walking.
09:23Nothing crazy happened okay.
09:24I just.
09:26I lost my footing and I fell over.
09:28Gran 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.
09:35I don't know what to say I'm sorry.
09:37You knew how much this meant to me.
09:39How could you have been so careless.
09:42Sarah.
09:59She's upset.
10:00And she's bound to be.
10:02She's just lashing out.
10:04She's right though isn't she.
10:07Shouldn't have been messing around in the woods.
10:09We shouldn't have risked it.
10:11Charity we've been through this.
10:14Stop doing that to yourself.
10:16What were we even thinking.
10:19Well you can try again.
10:20I'll 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.
10:28You have gone above and beyond.
10:32And we always knew that this was a shot in the dark didn't we.
10:37And you know maybe this is nature's way of saying that it's not meant to be.
10:42I'm just saying.
10:45Everything happens for a reason doesn't it.
10:50And.
10:52Maybe this is for the best.
10:53How.
10:54Can this be for the best.
10:57Well like I've just said maybe it's not meant to be.
11:00Have 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.
11:15And after everything you said.
11:16You'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 that is not.
11:26You're saying it's for the best.
11:30Get out.
11:32What.
11:33Get out.
11:34Of my house.
11:35Before I do something I might regret.
11:46Here we are madam fresh from the Colombian jungles via Nicola's Gracie Spoon.
11:58Oh.
11:59Sorry Paddy I was just er.
12:01Here to pick up my laundry and pay mum me ironing tall money.
12:04She's still doing that for you.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Even worse at ironing than she is.
12:08Gabby reckons I can't run around being a total scruff all my life so it's just yes.
12:11It's the arrangement.
12:13Well she's gone into town.
12:14Okay well you best have this then.
12:15Cool.
12:17Erm.
12:18Oh and also I like a starch collar and creases down in front of me 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 sanctioned that's all I'm saying.
12:35Oh no.
12:36Oh god no.
12:37It's nothing like that.
12:38It's erm.
12:39Well if you must know.
12:41I'm doing a shift working for that helpline thing that I do.
12:45Actually I shouldn't be saying anything.
12:47It's all very confidential.
12:48That's alright.
12:49I won't say a word promise.
12:51Sorry if I don't realise you know.
12:52I'll just.
12:53I'll leave me to it.
12:54No no I've just clocked off.
12:55In fact your timings bob on.
12:56Sit down.
12:58Okay.
13:02You alright?
13:03Er.
13:04Yes.
13:05Yes.
13:06I'm alright.
13:07It's just that.
13:08It makes you realise there's a lot of people having it really hard at the moment and erm.
13:14It just takes its toll.
13:15A little bit.
13:16I know but.
13:17At least there's people like you doing their best to help.
13:19Yeah.
13:20I wish I had access to online support when I was growing up.
13:23Had no one to talk to and Kenneth.
13:26Did what he did.
13:29Er.
13:30Sorry the man I thought was my dad.
13:32Oh right yeah sorry I mean.
13:33That must have been really hard for you.
13:35Hmm.
13:36Well my mum didn't know how to deal with it.
13:38Neither did anybody else so we all just cracked on.
13:41Nobody talked about anything.
13:42At all.
13:44I think at least these days.
13:46If you need it.
13:48You can seek out support.
13:51No matter what's going on.
13:53No one needs to do it alone.
13:55And actually.
13:57I wish I'd got help when me and Chas split up because.
13:59That would have saved me and everybody else a massive shed load of worry.
14:08Cheers.
14:10Oh God.
14:11It's so awful.
14:12Why do you have to do business with him in this?
14:15You okay?
14:16Just ignore me.
14:17I'm fine.
14:18We know you're not fine.
14:19I just.
14:20I just.
14:21I just can't deal with it.
14:22It's really set me back.
14:23Come here.
14:24No I opened up to him and I thought we had this proper connection and I wanted to believe
14:28him and I did believe him.
14:31Oh dear.
14:32No I trusted him.
14:33And then I let my guard down and I just feel like I'm back at square one.
14:38No.
14:39No.
14:40No.
14:41No.
14:42No.
14:43No.
14:44No.
14:45No.
14:46No.
14:50No.
14:52No.
14:54No.
14:55No.
14:56Hey.
15:23You doing all right?
15:24You'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, I...
15:43just needed a minute.
15:48I just wish I could do something to make it better.
16:02I feel useless.
16:10Being there's enough.
16:12You don't have to have fancy words or fix everything.
16:18Just stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
16:22That's all you can do.
16:26She's a lot stronger than she looks, you know.
16:31She's had to be.
16:34We'll get her through this.
16:36It'll be all right.
16:44You shut off that quickly if you've got your laundry.
16:58Oh, 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.
17:18I'm just daft enough to do it for you, then.
17:19Well, 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 seem meself?
17:28Yeah, yeah, of course, then.
17:29Right, you know, I'm always here if you want to offload or chew anything over.
17:34Thanks, Paddy, yeah.
17:35It'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, um, with the wedding, you know, getting close, it's just,
17:56it's making me reflect on things, that's all.
17:58Yeah, it'd be 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, um, do you want a drink?
18:09Yeah.
18:11Well, they actually wanted to run away with circus,
18:16but our little town was just right cruddy, never came anywhere near.
18:20So there's no room to get tented up.
18:23I could imagine you in circus, with, um, what sits with big shiny hats, sparkler,
18:29er, ringmasters, yeah.
18:32Or a clown.
18:34When my mum said she'd give me bus fare, I'd pay him to take you off me hands.
18:39Dark sense of humour.
18:40No, she weren't joking.
18:43I'd join circus with you.
18:44Climb, are you two joined at the upper summit?
18:53Well, there's nothing to do around here, so we're just hanging out.
18:55You have got all the friends, you know, share the love.
18:57I'm sorry, did somebody just drop the L word?
19:03Clang, oops.
19:06Um, I thought you were going bowling with Arthur later.
19:08Yeah, I don't know if I can be bothered.
19:10You just said yourself, you're bored.
19:11It'll do you good to get out and about, lolling around all day, doing nothing with Dylan.
19:15Sorry, no offence.
19:17I suppose so.
19:18Do you fancy it?
19:19Well, I can go if I were you, otherwise people will stop asking.
19:28Look, it's not just me and Arthur going, there's a right crowd of us.
19:30Um, nah, I'm all right, to be fair, I'll stick in my own smelly shoes.
19:36Look, I can rid my piggy bank.
19:38You won't have to pay anything.
19:39OK, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
19:41It's OK, just, you go out with your mates.
19:47It's only one night.
19:49I don't want you paying for me all the time.
19:51Just go and do your thing.
19:53I'm a big boy, all right?
19:54I'm all right by myself.
20:06Is it OK that I come in?
20:16Yeah, sure.
20:22Look, Charity, I, um, I'm sorry.
20:28I'm just worried about you.
20:33But if I'm being honest with myself,
20:34yes, I, I am relieved that you are not under any kind of risk anymore.
20:43So, all the time, when you're saying you'll support my decision,
20:48do whatever you can, it's all been a load of rubbish?
20:51No.
20:52Well, which is it then?
20:53Come on, make your mind up.
20:54You can't have it both ways.
20:55Well, I am trying to explain to you.
20:57Gee, I can't believe how insensitive you're being, actually,
21:00given the circumstances.
21:02Right, what do you mean?
21:04You 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.
21:10Charity.
21:11This is all your fault.
21:13Everything would be all right if I hadn't listened to you.
21:17So, I hope you're happy, Matt.
21:18I hope you're happy that you've got what you wanted.
21:20Charity, what is wrong with me thinking about how this affects everybody else?
21:39Well, 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?
21:47Oh, wow. Truth'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.
21:56Oh, 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-I-I must need my head testing for marrying you.
22:27Oh!
22:30I wasn't expecting to see you here today.
22:33Well, you know, I thought I might as well try working on something that can actually be fixed.
22:39You 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.
22:48I could always help you out.
22:51No, you can't.
22:53Well, 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?
23:01I will find the money if I need to.
23:03Yeah, but what if it happens again?
23:05And what if he doesn't?
23:06I don't know if I can handle trying again, even if grand was up for it.
23:11I 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,
23:16is that you never, ever give up on anything.
23:18I wonder where I get that from.
23:20Hmm.
23:21I wonder where I get that from.
23:23All right?
23:33Er, not really, no.
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, we 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.
23:55There's real feelings there on both sides.
23:57Well, 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.
24:17I love her.
24:19I would do anything for her.
24:22The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her.
24:24Yeah, well, you have hurt her.
24:26She's in a state.
24:27She 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.
24:42If you love her, right, like 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.
24:54Have you got that?
24:57Good.
25:10Ah!
25:10Come on, come on, come on.
25:11No, no, no, no, no!
25:12Yes!
25:12Thanks, Paddy, you know, for letting me blow off some steam.
25:20Anything.
25:22Erm, just don't tell Marlon, he can be a bit funny.
25:24And look, I'm sorry for being a bit narky as well.
25:28I just want everything to be perfect for the wedding, you know, for Gabby.
25:33I've got to go.
25:34Paulie Heffer at Devonish Farm.
25:36I'm on call.
25:37Well, OK.
25:39Good luck.
25:39And I'll, er, I'll see you next time for a rematch, eh?
25:41Yeah, right.
25:42Look, I'm sorry about earlier.
25:44I didn't mean to embarrass it.
25:57I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to embarrass you.
26:13I know. You were being kind. You're always kind.
26:20You could do so much better than me. I've literally got a note to offer you.
26:24Dylan.
26:25I'm just being honest. Marlon knows it. Can tell by the way he looks at me.
26:31Right, he thinks you're great.
26:33He tolerates me, for your sake.
26:37Listen, don't get me wrong, I get it. He's right. I've got no money. I've got no job.
26:42And 0.00 chance of getting one. All I'm doing is dragging you down.
26:49OK, that's not true.
26:52I don't care about any of that stuff anyway. Or stupid bowling. I'd rather be here with you.
26:58Loser.
27:02Diva.
27:04Failed circus runaway.
27:06Who's that?
27:10Eh, just Paddy. I'll, er, I'll ring you back later.
27:12It will get better.
27:14We'll figure it out.
27:16How come you always know the right thing to say?
27:24Just cause.
27:26We don't need money to have a good time.
27:30As long as we're together, that's all that matters.
27:38Where'd you get to?
27:39Er, just had some, er, business stuff that I needed to sort out.
27:43Caleb.
27:44What?
27:49Why not a word with Ross?
27:51She won't thank you for interfering.
27:53Well, I'm not just gonna stand back and watch while she falls apart again.
27:59Hey!
28:01What are you two scheming up now?
28:03Nothing, aren't I?
28:05Right, yeah, subtle.
28:07You two need to work on her cover stories, that's all I can say.
28:12Seem a bit brighter.
28:15Yeah, well, I am actually.
28:17I 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.
28:31What? I thought you'd be happy for me.
28:33I just don't like the idea of you being on your own.
28:38No, it would be good for me to get away.
28:41You know, and actually give me some time to work on myself for a bit.
28:46It will be okay.
28:48Look, I just need some downtime away from here.
28:52Away from Ross?
28:53Yeah, maybe.
28:54But also from all the reminders of Anthony.
28:56You know, I honestly think it would be good for me
28:58to put a bit of space between myself and all the memories, you know?
29:01It would be good for me to get away.
29:04Recalibrate.
29:06And get my zen back on.
29:09Can't you do that here?
29:10No.
29:11I need...
29:13I need to focus on my recovery.
29:14Away from any distractions.
29:16And, you know, it's not going to be forever.
29:18And I can do my therapy online, hmm?
29:21I need to do this.
29:22Okay.
29:24So when are you thinking of going?
29:27Tonight.
29:29Tonight?
29:30What?
29:32Don't look at me like that.
29:33This is me taking positive affirmative action, hmm?
29:36You should be proud of me.
29:38We are.
29:39We always are.
29:44You know, you two should think about getting away yourselves.
29:49You're both looking a little bit frayed around the edges.
29:52Can we make our passport again?
30:02What?
30:03Lock her in a room.
30:07We're gonna have to let her go, aren't we?
30:08I don't think we've got much choice.
30:09I don't think we've got much choice.
30:10You near long?
30:11Oh, I'm sorry.
30:12I think I might need to see some idea if I'm getting it by the fumblies.
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?
30:22Look, Charity.
30:23I know today will have been tough.
30:24Oh, you reckon, do you?
30:25Broken my granddaughter's heart.
30:26Blown my marriage to smithereens.
30:27What?
30:28Now I just need a bolt of lightning to finish me off and I'll have scored a hat-trick.
30:31I think I might need to see some idea if I'm getting it by the fumblies.
30:32Yeah.
30:33I don't know if getting smashed is the best coping strategy.
30:36That's all.
30:37Who said anything about getting smashed?
30:40Look, Charity.
30:43I know today will have been tough.
30:45Oh, you reckon, do you?
30:48Broken my granddaughter's heart.
30:51Blown my marriage to smithereens.
30:53What?
30:54Now I just need a bolt of lightning to finish me off and I'll have scored a hat-trick.
30:58What?
30:59It's unlikely.
31:00Indoors, isn't it?
31:02Still, they say things come in threes, don't they?
31:05So come on then, world.
31:06Bring it on.
31:07What else have you got?
31:08Okay.
31:10You and I both know day drunk's never a good look.
31:12Well, from where I'm sitting, Vanessa, I'm reckoning it's quite appealing.
31:17Look, why don't you come back home with me?
31:19Have a coffee or something.
31:20Might 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?
31:26A bit of toast?
31:28Well, you've lost your mojo, babe.
31:32All right, come on.
31:33Let's get you off the streets.
31:35Vanessa, I am not your problem anymore.
31:39And I'm not leaving you here.
31:41I'm totally fine.
31:42Give me that.
31:44Whoops.
31:45You know the dustpan and brushes?
31:48Oh, Marlon, accidents do happen.
31:50You're a mess.
31:51Yes!
31:52I'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.
32:04Oh, Ness, I'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 would be doing me a massive favour.
32:30Oh, thanks, you are a total star.
32:32Flipping heck, Vanessa.
32:33You've only asked her to babysit.
32:34It's not like she's invented a cure for cancer.
32:37Go on, where's Trace?
32:38Why ain't she babysitting?
32:40Er, she's gone to visit Cara.
32:41Smooth things over after Nate's funeral.
32:45Oh.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Oh.
32:49All right.
32:50Enough of the unbreakable act.
32:51You don't have to do that with me.
32:54What do you want to do?
32:55Do 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,
33:08if we could get the money together,
33:10to 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.
33:25She's bound to be upset.
33:27But she'll bounce back.
33:28You both will.
33:29You're warriors.
33:32You know, I really thought I could do it.
33:35And after everything she's been through,
33:37I just wanted her to know that she wasn't alone.
33:38That she didn't have to fight everyone and everything all by herself.
33:44Because I know what that's like.
33:46And I'm not letting that happen.
33:48Not 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.
33:59I feel like it is.
34:10Kane said you've been into work.
34:12Thought we'd agreed you were going to take it easy.
34:15Yeah, I thought it might be easier keeping myself busy.
34:17That 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.
34:29He offered to pay for another MBO transfer if he wanted.
34:33Wow.
34:35I mean, he said he was going to speak to you.
34:38I saw him earlier.
34:39But he didn't let on that nugget of info.
34:42Mm.
34:44What?
34:46Well, it's not exactly like him and Moira have got money to be tricking around at the moment, is it?
34:50Not with this massive waterfine hanging over them.
34:52We don't have to decide right away.
34:54Might 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?
35:03I know you're just trying to do the right thing by me, but if I don't try again and there's no chance of us having a baby, then there's nothing saying you have to be with me.
35:10Sarah.
35:11Look, 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.
35:19And it's not gonna work.
35:21I want to be with you no matter what happens.
35:25I love you, Sarah Tugden, so stop pushing me away.
35:30Come here.
35:31He said he was totally behind it and then when it fails, all of a sudden he's like, oh, well, maybe it's for the best.
35:43I mean, don't just say what I want you to say. Tell me the truth.
35:47Truth?
35:48I mean, you're supposed to be my partner.
35:50You know, the clue's 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?
35:59You're preaching to the choir here.
36:02Oh, yeah. I'm so sorry.
36:05Listen to me offload into you of all people about my chronically cursed love life.
36:10Offload away. This is a safe space for offloading.
36:13I don't know.
36:15Maybe I've just made another massive mistake.
36:18Charming. Thanks.
36:20No, shut up. You know what I mean.
36:26I've seen another side to Mackenzie over the past few weeks, babe.
36:30I don't think I like it.
36:32Look, 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.
36:39Anyway, 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.
36:49Look, 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 buttered.
37:00Oh, I was a fool to let you go for him.
37:09This was an absolute disaster.
37:13I just...
37:15I just didn't think that she and I would end up being collateral damage.
37:18So 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.
37:24I thought you liked being cats on your toes.
37:25Yeah, so did I.
37:27I see you got your priorities sorted out.
37:30Sorry, Mylon.
37:32I'm actually just in here for a quiet pint.
37:34If that's alright with you.
37:35Or even if it isn't.
37:37Listen.
37:38Nobody's saying this situation is easy for you.
37:42You're round, innit?
37:44Alright, fine, but I'd make that last if I was you.
37:46Alright, fine, Mylon.
37:47I will have another pint whether this tight wad here is gonna pay for it or not.
37:51The last thing that Charity needs right now is you getting steaming.
37:55Are you gonna 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.
38:05Wow.
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.
38:13But sitting here drowning in your little sorrows is not the right move, is it?
38:17And we both know the longer you leave it, the harder it's gonna be for you to fix it.
38:20Feel tight just leaving, yeah?
38:21Don't be daft.
38:22I'll still be here when you get back.
38:23And I don't even like rolling that much, to be fair.
38:24Now you tell me.
38:25Thought this was too much, eh?
38:27I'll try my best.
38:28I won't be too late.
38:29I won't be too late.
38:31I'll do this.
38:32I won't be too late.
38:33I won't be too late.
38:34I'll do this.
38:35You won't be too late.
38:36I'll do this.
38:37I won't be too late.
38:38I'll do this.
38:40And I don't even like rolling that much, to be fair.
38:42Now you tell me.
38:44Thought this was just too much, eh?
38:45I won't be too late.
39:02Be as late as you like.
39:05How long have you been there for?
39:07Long enough.
39:09I thought I'd swing by, make sure you're all right.
39:11You have been ignoring my messages.
39:14Yeah, sorry, I've been busy.
39:15So I can see.
39:17Cats are bleeding over.
39:18Good on you.
39:20Here, 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.
39:34From May to 4, isn't it?
39:37So that's April?
39:39Yeah.
39:41Nice.
39:42Hold on.
39:43Oh, I'm not going to go home yet.
39:51I'll just get my head better off, I'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.
39:56See you later.
40:01Texting Muriel, are we?
40:02Yeah, right.
40:04Can't leave her alone.
40:06No, no, 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.
40:42No, 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.
40:56You have a job.
40:58She's heading to Italy and beyond.
40:59Get some air miles between you and her.
41:02Oh, well.
41:04Probably for the best.
41:06Is it?
41:08Caleb told me to stay out of her life.
41:11I don'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 as Steph?
41:24I've seen the way you look at each other.
41:25The way you are together.
41:27You'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.
41:51Are you absolutely sure about this?
41:53Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
41:55OK, well, any problems, you just call us, OK?
41:58Do you know me or your dad's number off by heart in case you lose your phone?
42:00No.
42:01Stop writing.
42:03Yeah.
42:04Let's get that somewhere safe.
42:06Oh.
42:06Steph?
42:07Cheers, Lewis.
42:07It's none of your business, what she's doing.
42:20We don't want to see him, OK?
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, no, no, you won't.
42:31Look, please.
42:33Just stay.
42:35We can work through this.
42:41I love you.
42:50Airport, please.
42:50Don't do this.
42:54It doesn't have to be like this.
43:08Ugh.
43:10Call 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, I don't want to go home, Ness.
43:20Oh, don't be silly.
43:20No, please, do 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 Tracey's bed.
43:30I'm not staying there.
