00:30Hey, can I borrow the welding torch later?
00:35What for?
00:37Welding.
00:39How you doing?
00:40Been better.
00:42Been worse, just about.
00:44Just try not to think about things too much.
00:47Just the freezer doors hanging off, so I thought I'd take a crack at it.
00:50Well, am I not better fixing it?
00:52Nah, I'll be fine.
00:53I can pretend I'm in flash dance.
00:55Incidentally, have you got any leg warmers you could lend me?
00:58I'm sure charity would love to see that.
01:00Oh, no, we don't care about each other's opinions anymore.
01:02You're not heard.
01:03Nothing improved there, then.
01:04That'll be better tonight when I'm down in London.
01:06Stag do.
01:07Yeah, nothing fixes a marriage better than booze and a load of strippers.
01:12Oh, yeah.
01:13I'm just after, um...
01:14Oh!
01:15Here they are.
01:17Cheers.
01:17It's you.
01:21Hello.
01:22It's him.
01:23The removal guy.
01:25What are you doing here?
01:27Oh, hiya.
01:28You moved my husband's stuff up to Shetland.
01:30Yeah, yeah, I remember.
01:32He had a lot of questions.
01:33Yeah, well, I've got a load more now.
01:34Look, do you remember who paid you for that job?
01:38Er...
01:39Help me with her name?
01:40Nate.
01:41Yeah, that's the one.
01:42Yeah, Nate, what he did.
01:43This guy?
01:43No, I...
01:46That weren't him.
01:56What a loser.
01:59Is there anything to yourself?
02:00Yeah.
02:01What about?
02:02Oh, you know, just what a catch I am and how lucky you must feel.
02:06Oh.
02:07I mean, I wouldn't say it could happen to anyone because, well, it couldn't, could it?
02:11But maybe that's part of what makes you special, hmm?
02:14You don't want to sound convinced of that.
02:16Vinnie, if I was going to break up with you for being an idiot, I would have done it a very long time again.
02:20See you later.
02:22See ya.
02:22You can't come in, you know.
02:33Even after yesterday.
02:35Wasn't your doing?
02:36Me that got you into it, though.
02:41I think I might be done as well.
02:44Not with this place?
02:45With farming.
02:46Really?
02:48Well, what's going to suddenly happen that will make things better?
02:51Can you think of anything?
02:53No, I can't.
02:55Believe me, I've tried.
02:57At least you have the land you're standing on.
02:59Worst comes to the worst, you can make a few bobs, set yourself up.
03:03I wouldn't know what else to do.
03:05Get up at a sensible hour, for starters.
03:08That is something I could really get used to.
03:10Honestly, Moira, if I were you, I'd start asking questions.
03:16At least get yourself a price.
03:18Kick this thing in the backside before it kicks you.
03:21Right, so, this land, we need a plan.
03:35And whatever Dad did, we have to be different.
03:38Not because he was wrong, but...
03:40Not because I couldn't do it if I tried.
03:42Oi!
03:43What?
03:44Isn't that part of it?
03:45Harry's good, we're good.
03:47Life's looking alright.
03:48OK, anyway, yeah, I know, things have changed, plus we're much smaller.
03:55There's a guy I follow online.
03:57He's not got much more land than us and doesn't have any motorised equipment or anything.
04:01Dress his likes in prison?
04:02Yeah, that's him.
04:03Arable Lecter.
04:04He's so creepy, I love him.
04:06He doesn't sell his stuff more than 20 miles away.
04:08Well, we wouldn't need to.
04:10Maybe a bit further.
04:11No supermarkets.
04:13I think they'd laugh if we tried.
04:14And nowhere that Moira already supplies.
04:16Yeah.
04:18Now, come in.
04:21What do you already have?
04:23Er, I've, erm...
04:25I've got some news.
04:27Bad news?
04:28Well, it depends how you look at it.
04:31Me and Aaron, we've...
04:33decided to move.
04:35You've only just got settled.
04:37What's brought this on?
04:39Er, just, you know, people move.
04:42We're not going to the moon.
04:44I can tell you that.
04:45So you're the mysterious removal man?
04:54I don't know about mysterious, but, er...
04:56Yeah, that's me.
04:57What's your name, sir?
04:58It's Ben.
04:59Ben Flint.
05:01Is there any reason why you've not come forward, Mr Flint?
05:03I didn't know what happened.
05:04Er, at least people have just told me it's, er, it's horrible.
05:08Hmm.
05:09It's been quite extensive coverage.
05:11Why?
05:12We didn't reach Newkey.
05:13Er, that's where I've been for most of the year.
05:15You're a hard man to find.
05:16Well, the job was a favour, so it didn't go through any of my books.
05:18I do pay tax, it's just, that's for someone else to worry about.
05:24So, you were contacted by Nate Robinson?
05:27Yeah, I thought so.
05:28Yeah.
05:28Except we showed him Nate's picture.
05:31And?
05:32It's not the guy I met.
05:37How about this?
05:41Yeah.
05:42That's him, yeah?
05:44Are you sure?
05:45A hundred percent.
05:45Oh, nice to be you.
05:50I know, right?
05:50But you are just as lucky.
05:52You get to be with me.
05:55What's the issue?
05:56Well, you just put a snide plan in motion and sit there with a magazine.
06:00I'm not allowed to read a magazine, but you're allowed to go out for a kickabout?
06:03I'm looking after Thomas, aren't I?
06:04He wants to play three and in.
06:05Do you want to play?
06:06Erm, I think I'd rather bite off my fingertips.
06:09But thank you.
06:10No, I need to go speak to Moira, see how she feels about selling,
06:13now she's had all that bad news.
06:14I'll get it.
06:20It's Moira.
06:26Hello, Moira.
06:28Are you here to knock someone out?
06:31That wasn't the plan, but shall we see how we go?
06:33Mm-hmm.
06:35Do you still want to buy the farm?
06:37I haven't really been thinking too much about it.
06:42Why?
06:43Why do you ask?
06:44Why do you think?
06:51Bet you couldn't wait to get those scornly little paws all over me.
06:55What the hell's going on here?
07:08You tell me straight, Moira.
07:09You tell me straight, Moira.
07:13I could phone the police.
07:15And I will kick your head in.
07:18Or, lay a little confession to wifey-to-be.
07:21Can I offer you something to drink?
07:24Tea?
07:25Coffee?
07:26Iron brew?
07:29Are you actually trying to become Kim?
07:32I can assure you, I am very much my own person.
07:35Good to know.
07:36So, can you go ahead with this, then?
07:38I can.
07:39Yeah.
07:39I'd have to want to.
07:42Kim and I would have to want to.
07:44Kim does.
07:46She made that clear already.
07:47And you made it very clear that you didn't want it to happen.
07:50Yes, and now I'm saying that I can, so...
07:53Hey, good news, eh?
07:56Potentially.
07:58Listen, if you need to call Kim for some advice...
08:00I don't.
08:01But if I were to offer her some,
08:02I would suggest asking what's changed so suddenly.
08:06Well, that's easy.
08:06I'll tell you what's changed.
08:07I want to stop fighting a losing battle.
08:11So, money.
08:12What are we thinking this time?
08:14Well, I haven't come here to have the Mickey taken out of me.
08:17Oh, we would only ever do that behind your back.
08:19Plus, we are going to rent the place back to you.
08:21That's a pretty good deal in itself.
08:23Only if the price is right.
08:37And is Kim okay with that?
08:49Don't worry about Kim.
08:51Are you okay with that?
08:51You're moving away?
09:00Er...
09:00Yeah.
09:02Hi, by the way.
09:03Why don't you come in?
09:04You can't move away.
09:05This...
09:05This place is your home.
09:06Used to be.
09:07Why are you being like this?
09:08Well, I don't know.
09:09Maybe because you just barge your way into my house,
09:11telling me what I can and can't do in my life
09:12when you've got no right to do it.
09:13There's no way that you really want to move away.
09:15Well, that's funny.
09:15Because I suggested it.
09:16You're running away.
09:21From what?
09:21From what you really want, Aaron.
09:23What happened between us?
09:24And what happened between us
09:25should never have happened
09:26and it will never happen again.
09:27Yeah, because you're moving away.
09:29So you can't be tempted.
09:30Have you hurt yourself?
09:33I'm moving away.
09:36I'm moving away because
09:37what I've got in my life right now, it's good.
09:40And if I stay around here
09:41and you carry on doing stuff like this, then...
09:42Well, I can't be bothered with it, that's all.
09:48So, I am the reason?
09:50You're one of the reasons, yeah.
09:52Not only because you've been in pain
09:53and that's it, so can you just go now, please?
09:58Aaron,
09:58you love me.
10:03I used to.
10:04We're each other's future.
10:05No, Robert.
10:08John's my future.
10:11We're each other's past.
10:12Well, I wonder if he'll feel the same about you
10:20once he finds out
10:21we slept together.
10:39So you're going to tell him?
10:40Me?
10:41Are you not?
10:43Why would I?
10:45Because you don't want to keep secrets
10:46from your husband.
10:47From the man that you're going to
10:48spend your future with.
10:49You said you'd pack it in with all this.
10:51Yeah, and then you kissed me.
10:52Again.
10:54And then the rest.
10:56Kind of a big indication
10:57that you don't really want to pack it in.
10:59Our lives have moved on.
11:01My life's moving on again
11:02and York's will too.
11:03Oh, don't do that.
11:04Don't do what?
11:05Oh, patronise me.
11:06You'll find someone.
11:11I found someone.
11:16Can you just leave, please?
11:19You don't want that.
11:20You know, on our wedding day,
11:29man and John's wedding day,
11:31he gave me the space
11:33to decide what actually made me happy.
11:35he's the opposite to you.
11:39He doesn't play games
11:41and that's why I chose him then.
11:43That's why I'm choosing him now.
11:44I'm happily married.
11:50And I am moving.
11:58Wow.
11:59Aren't you fancy?
12:01It's Thomas round.
12:02Playing football with Dawn.
12:03And you're getting the, er,
12:04post-match celebrations ready?
12:06Post-deal.
12:07You care for a glass?
12:08Go on, then.
12:09Seeing as it's August.
12:12What's the occasion?
12:12We are buying Moira's farm.
12:15Does Moira know about this?
12:17Yeah, she does.
12:17She was here earlier.
12:19Does Kim know?
12:20When she checks her texts, yeah.
12:22She'll be pleased.
12:24Why?
12:24Did you get it cheap?
12:25Not by current market values, no.
12:27But we are going to rent the place back to her,
12:29which she was pleasantly surprised at.
12:32Oh.
12:33Well, good for everyone, then.
12:34Mm.
12:35Yeah, I mean, obviously we'll,
12:37we'll find a loophole
12:38and we'll turf her out at some point,
12:39but, yeah.
12:40Nice.
12:40What she doesn't know
12:41is that by letting us acquire this land,
12:44we can circle this Annie's field
12:48that Robert's being a real pain about
12:50and make it worthless to him
12:52other than to sell to us
12:53so we can put access roads on it.
12:56Riveting.
12:57I think that land could benefit
12:58from a change of planning regulations,
13:01meaning that we could,
13:02we could sell it at a price
13:04that makes what we're paying Moira
13:05look like pocket change.
13:07Hey.
13:10I recognise you.
13:12You're that guy I thought had a job.
13:14Just took half a day off.
13:15Oh, yeah.
13:16Checked out already, have you?
13:18Yeah.
13:19You OK?
13:21Yeah.
13:22It's just hard, isn't it?
13:23Leaving this place.
13:25You having second thoughts?
13:26No.
13:27Of course not.
13:28It's gonna be great.
13:29Yeah.
13:29It really is.
13:31I saw you talking to the police,
13:32have you?
13:33About this removal guy.
13:35Yeah.
13:35What, Tracy found it?
13:36No.
13:37Mackenzie said he'd just turned up.
13:40He said that Nate had booked the job
13:42and Cole showed him a picture
13:44of that Owen guy
13:45and he said it was him.
13:48And what about the suicide note
13:49that was saved after he died?
13:51Auto-save, apparently.
13:52I don't know anything about that
13:54but Cole seemed happy.
13:55OK.
13:57So how do you feel now?
13:58Don't bring him back.
14:00No, it gives you some
14:01peace, though, at least.
14:03Well, yeah, that's the theory.
14:05Well, it will.
14:06In time,
14:08you'll be able to move on.
14:09Talking about moving,
14:10some of your stuff still at heart.
14:12Right, yeah, I'll, um, I'll, I'll
14:13get it later if that's OK.
14:15Whatever.
14:19His head must be mashed.
14:21Yeah.
14:23I suppose it's good
14:24that he shut it down now, finally, eh?
14:26Yeah.
14:28It's brilliant.
14:32Oh, just going to phone you.
14:34Do you want to do that?
14:35Er, yeah, I really do.
14:36Er, a pint and another one of those.
14:38Great, well, why don't you sit down?
14:39I'll bring him over,
14:40seeing as you ask so politely.
14:44Er, I've got some news.
14:46Oh, me too.
14:47Yours good news or bad news?
14:49I don't know, neither.
14:51Oh, well, let's do your second.
14:53It might lighten the load once I've told you mine.
14:55No, I'm not really sure.
14:57I'm selling the farm.
14:58I, I've been to see Joe and he offered a decent price, actually, and I'm, I'm going to go
15:06ahead with it, Cain.
15:08And I'm, I'm sorry that I did it on my own, but I had to, even though that it's ripping
15:14my heart to shreds because the police I'm going to sell where the kids call the home
15:19or where holy will I always be if there's so many happy memories.
15:26Okay.
15:27I just can't do it anymore.
15:29I know.
15:30Come in.
15:35And the original offer still stands.
15:38I'll still work at the farm.
15:42It'll just be for Kim.
15:45Well, whatever works for you.
15:48But you hate Kim.
15:50Well, I must love you more.
15:53It's still great.
15:56Mate, what's your news?
15:58You can wait.
15:59Kim, will you do me a favour?
16:01I need to go and get some change from the cafe we watched the bar for a minute.
16:05Is everything all right?
16:07Not really, no.
16:08Well, it will be.
16:10What, Nick?
16:13Yeah, he's been in Newquay for months, so it was all news to him.
16:17Well, it must be weird to know he met a murderer.
16:19No, he seemed more interested in drinking his can of pot, to be honest.
16:22Oh.
16:23Well, does the weed thief know about this?
16:24No, about what?
16:26Oh, the, the, the Nate stuff.
16:28The removal guy came, then the police came, and long story short, the, the case has been
16:33closed.
16:34The removal guy?
16:35No, not, sorry, not, not the removal guy.
16:38Owen did it.
16:39The removal guy ID'd Owen, and the detective was like, yeah, sure, that'll do.
16:43Just like that, after all that time.
16:45Yeah.
16:45So everyone can rest easy on their theories now.
16:48I already know.
16:49Thinking John was involved is too good to be true.
16:51Yeah, I know.
16:52Imagine you telling Aaron that.
16:54Bet that would have done wonders for your, oh, please, let's be together chance.
16:57Yes.
16:57That chance was pretty much zero anyway.
16:59Well, I would love to care, but I've got a date with something that's cold and broken.
17:02That's no way to talk about your wife.
17:09I tried texting you.
17:11Yeah, I know.
17:12But it's just you didn't respond.
17:14I know that as well.
17:16Well, I'm going down to London later.
17:18Okay.
17:19If I ever get away, I've got to fix the freezer first.
17:21Wow, this is scintillating chat.
17:23Hmm.
17:24I said to Moira that I'd be down there for, like, a week.
17:29Unless you don't want me to go.
17:31Do what you want.
17:32Okay.
17:34Well, I guess I will see you when I get back.
17:36Mm-hmm.
17:36Seems inevitable.
17:42Poor Nate.
17:44And how are you?
17:45Honestly?
17:46Same as before, really.
17:49Because you have this blog's dead.
17:51Besides me doing the stretch for ending him.
17:52Well, at least you can go and see Debbie.
17:57Is that all right?
17:58As if you have to ask.
18:00Bog.
18:01Oh, lovely.
18:04Cain.
18:07What for?
18:08You know what for?
18:10I love you.
18:11I'm not saying it twice in one day.
18:14Yeah, well, I'm here now.
18:16It's not like you've got any urgent business, is it?
18:19No, I'm not mocking you.
18:20I'm just requiring your company.
18:24Come on, come down.
18:25Right.
18:26Someone daring to stand you up?
18:28No.
18:29Well, I hope not.
18:30Anyway, it's Vinny just, er...
18:32Being Vinny, I suppose.
18:33Just more of it.
18:34Mm, that's a lot of Vinny.
18:35Well, good job.
18:36I love him.
18:37Right, drink.
18:38Is, er, anyone about?
18:39Er, charity's just popped out, but, er, this one's on me.
18:42Oh, thanks.
18:43Well, you're practically family now, aren't you?
18:45Or you will be properly soon.
18:47Yeah, I guess.
18:49And it's my day to look out for the family.
18:52Or completely wreck their futures.
18:54I can't decide which.
18:55How do you mean?
18:55I'm selling the farm.
18:59Right.
19:00Yeah, erm, what's brought this on?
19:04A little thing called no choice.
19:06It's not making any money, and now it has to become someone else's problem.
19:10Not that it'll be a problem for Kim.
19:12She's buying it.
19:14But she'll be able to throw the kind of money at it that I never could.
19:17But you lot, you'll all be all right, won't you?
19:19Yeah, I mean, I'll still work there.
19:22This won't be the same.
19:23We'll still have a roof over our heads, which is what matters.
19:27And if losing that ever becomes a possibility, the Dingles will rally round.
19:32That's what you're marrying into.
19:33For all the family's faults, they look after their own.
19:37Oh, darling, will you get Gabby a drink, please?
19:40Er, white wine, please.
19:41Actually, erm, can I have a word with you?
19:47Yeah.
19:48What, mate?
20:01Hello.
20:02Vincent Dingle.
20:04That's me.
20:05You, er, familiar with a Graham Connolly?
20:08No.
20:09He also goes by the names of Michael, or...
20:11Mike.
20:14You recently made a payment of £10,000 to him, sir.
20:17I don't think I did, but...
20:18Mr Connolly's been investigated on suspicion of extortion.
20:21Well, OK.
20:24Sound familiar, Mr Dingle?
20:25Fixed the freezer.
20:40Yep.
20:41And all it took was 42 curse words and three hissy fits.
20:44Still makes me a legend, though.
20:47Are you sure you're warm enough?
20:48I was fixing a freezer, so...
20:50Cold.
20:50It's a good job you left Scotland, otherwise they'd have chased you out.
20:55Don't suppose you fancy helping me with this stuff?
20:58Would.
20:58Got a train to London in less than two hours.
21:01Well, I'll drop you at the station.
21:02Save you the cab fare.
21:04All right.
21:05Maybe you are a good Scotsman after all.
21:07Hmm.
21:09Er, I've got more stuff in the barn, so...
21:10...two seconds.
21:30Oh, well, John, you'd have something's out with that.
21:32Oh, well, John.
22:02Streaming on ITVX, it's brand new Under the Bridge.
22:06Coming up next tonight, you're on ITV1 with Coronation Street.
22:19See you then.
22:20Bye-bye.
22:22Bye-bye.
22:25Bye-bye.
22:26Bye-bye.
22:27Bye-bye.
22:28Bye-bye.
