00:30After you, my lovely wife.
00:48Ah, thank you, my most handsomest of husbands.
00:50What, have you got more than one?
00:51Ah, yeah, too many to count.
00:53But you're my favourite, you're worried.
00:55Oh, I'm going to go meet Mum for lunch.
00:58You come in.
00:59I forgot my phone.
01:00Oh, well, I'll come and help you find it.
01:02Er, no, I know exactly where it is.
01:04Go on then.
01:06Hey.
01:07You're looking a bit better.
01:11There's a mirror in the toilet, so I know you're just being kind.
01:16I brought you some stuff, like you asked.
01:17But I can always go to the cottage if you tell me what you need.
01:21No, no, no, no.
01:22No, no, no.
01:23Don't.
01:24Don't do that.
01:25Um, you know what I'm like.
01:26Pretty low maintenance.
01:27It's gonna be a big day today, isn't it?
01:28They're still planning on bringing Aaron out of his coma.
01:29Yeah, it will.
01:30But I've told them that I don't want them rushing anything.
01:31They know what they're doing.
01:32They're not gonna do anything to harm him, so just try not to worry.
01:33There's some clothes in there, as requested.
01:34Cheers.
01:35Cheers.
01:36Oh, well.
01:37It's gonna be a big day today, isn't it?
01:38They're still planning on bringing Aaron out of his coma.
01:39Yeah, it will.
01:40But I've told them that I don't want them rushing anything.
01:41You know what they're doing.
01:42They're not gonna do anything to harm him, so just try not to worry.
01:58There's some clothes in there, as requested.
02:02Cheers.
02:03I think the hospital probably sent all my stuff straight to the incinerator.
02:07Could you get me just a tiny bit of water?
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah, sure.
02:12Or the police may have them.
02:17Forensics or whoever.
02:18Yeah, maybe.
02:23I, erm, I need to tell you something.
02:35I'm not sure I can handle any more bad news.
02:38I want to see Robert.
02:39What?
02:40I, I thought you didn't want to go anywhere near him ever again.
02:51I mean, at least tell me you weren't there for some kind of peace talk, so.
02:56I didn't hold back.
02:57I told him exactly what I thought of him.
03:00I'm sorry, but he needed to know the effect that he has on you.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Why you thought you needed help?
03:06Even so, I wish you hadn't gone.
03:09Well, despite everything, I'm still my brother.
03:13And I wanted to talk to him about what happened with you and Aaron.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Attempted double murder, I think it's called.
03:21But he's sticking to his story.
03:23Well, of course he would.
03:24Because he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
03:27I don't know.
03:28He's, he's so adamant.
03:30It's just, I think he believes it himself.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Because he's unhinged.
03:38I knew, I knew he would get to you.
03:41This is why I told you not to go.
03:43You got sucked in.
03:44He's dangerous, Vic.
03:46You need to stay away from him for your own good.
04:00I was kind of hoping my beloved sister would be around.
04:03Although it's probably best that we meet in public spaces at the moment.
04:07You'll have to make do with me for the moment.
04:10I'll get you a coffee.
04:11Maybe give her a bit of space.
04:13She's probably getting her head round the fact that you're actually back.
04:16Maybe you could referee and use your granny sticks to intervene if things got physical.
04:20If you two go head to head, I'll be hobbling off in the opposite direction.
04:24Granny sticks going like the clappers.
04:27I don't want to say I don't give you anything.
04:31How romantic.
04:34Yeah.
04:35I know.
04:36Sorry.
04:37We can stop soon.
04:38Can't we?
04:39Pay the rest of the debt off and then get the deposit for the flat.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Well, we've barely made a dent in what we are.
04:45Hang on.
04:46I thought we were doing alright.
04:47It's just gonna take a little while, that's all.
04:49Oh, come on.
04:50It'll be fine.
04:51Ray won't let anything bad happen.
04:53I'll find some new work.
04:55I don't know how, but I'll make it happen.
04:57Yeah?
04:58It's not always gonna be like this, yeah?
05:00Promise.
05:01Oh, I didn't think we'd see you till at least midday.
05:06Hello, love.
05:07How's married life treating you?
05:09Well, very good so far.
05:11I mean, to be fair, it has only been 24 hours.
05:13It's all downhill from now on.
05:15Oh, Mum.
05:16Oh, stop being so sensitive.
05:17I'm only kidding.
05:18Spoke to Gran this morning.
05:20She's gutted that she missed out on the wedding.
05:21Yeah, we're sad she didn't come, but she's clearly having too much fun in Portugal.
05:25Won't be the only one, would she?
05:27Er, latte please, Grandad.
05:31Hey, Denise.
05:33Bob.
05:38I'm sorry I haven't a chance to talk to you.
05:40Well, not properly, anyway.
05:42You've been busy.
05:43I get it.
05:46I'm so, so sorry about Heath.
05:48I wanted to phone you many times.
05:51I can't even imagine what you went through.
05:55Well, what you still must be going through.
05:58It's really good to see you back.
06:00Yes, sir.
06:01You could run.
06:02That's fine.
06:03Yes, sir.
06:04No.
06:05No, no.
06:06No, no, no.
06:07No.
06:08No, no, no, no.
06:09Well, I'm pleased with those observations, so I'm happy to move ahead with the sedation
06:33Hold
07:01Oh dear, you look how I feel. Flipping hospitals, they always make me a bit queasy
07:07Still not right after yesterday mate, that's more than to make me the world's blandest sandwich
07:12There you go mate, no butter, no mayo, no garnish
07:17I've even cut the crusts off for you, kill or kill
07:20Well if you can't know that, what haven't you put down?
07:22Actually, I wanted to talk to you about John
07:30I wish I never got involved
07:32What exactly did he say to you on the helpline?
07:35I already told you
07:36But could you have got it wrong? Could he have been talking about hurting someone else, not himself?
07:41You're starting to sound like Robert
07:43I just, I don't know what to think
07:45No, we're all trying to make sense of it
07:47But if I knew exactly what he said, maybe I could get a better idea of what was really going on in his head
07:52It might help
07:53Everyone's in shock
07:55If I hadn't said anything to Robert, maybe none of this would have happened
08:01This isn't your fault
08:02I don't know
08:04Vic
08:06I know you want to believe Robert, but you need to look at the facts
08:12And after that stunt you pulled, trying to get me to pull out on my own wedding date and that sly comment about Portugal
08:18That's absolutely fine, I'll stay out of it
08:20In fact, I will stay completely silent from now on if you like
08:25Oh, I always thought I would have made a stunning nun
08:29Mum, you know how important my marriage is to me
08:33I don't want to ruin it before it even gets started
08:35Well, maybe you should have thought of that when you were in Portugal
08:38Well, maybe if I didn't have you getting in my head about Vinnie not being right for me
08:42Not being the one
08:43I wouldn't have looked twice at George
08:45I just want what's best for you
08:47Yeah, well, maybe not getting mortal on pina coladas in a beach bar in Lagos would probably be a start
08:52Well, I did tell you to watch the measures
08:54Mum, you entered me into a limbo competition
08:56Oh, come on Gabby, you gotta live a little
08:59You're a long time dead
09:01And anyway, if your head's getting turned at this stage, I mean
09:05Mum, it was one stupid drunken mistake, okay?
09:09I was stressed about the wedding
09:11And those cocktails were lethal
09:13Well, like I say, you've got to live with yourself
09:16Anyway, these things have a habit of coming out in the wash, take it from someone who knows
09:21God, I wish I never even went to Portugal
09:23Gabby!
09:24Look, handsome George is a ten a penny, but you only get one Mum
09:28Well, one and a half if you count Laurel
09:31Alright, Mum, look, we're married now, okay? It's too late
09:34Well, I did try and get you to speak with him, start with a clean slate
09:37But oh no, you did what you always do and went marching in like a bull in a china shop
09:41Well, I can't tell him! What good is that gonna do? It's only gonna hurt him
09:45And I'm not being funny, but you're the last person on this earth I should be taking relationship advice from
09:50Half the reason I want a stable marriage and a normal life is because of the fifty husband car crash pileup you've displayed in front of me since as long as I can remember
09:59Oh, yeah? Well, if you're so committed to lovely, normal, stable Vinnie, how come you slept with somebody else?
10:07Because I've got you for a mother, that's why
10:16Nicola? I'm not disturbing you, am I?
10:19I'm just taking a moment
10:21Only, when I got the royal summons, I thought it must be urgent
10:23I'm trying to relieve a stress headache brought on by you-know-who parachuting back in
10:27Is it working? Not one little bit
10:30Oh, honestly, the bare-faced cheek of a flouncing in with a 200-pound haircut done up like a dog's dinner and pleading poverty
10:38It's just infuriating
10:40You know, absolutely no sense of responsibility
10:43Always looking for handouts and leg-ups and the easy option
10:47Fluttering her eyelashes and pouting her lips
10:50Tottering about in two tight dresses and two high heels
10:54Oh, please tell me she hasn't got to you
10:58You see, this is what she does every time
11:01And everyone always lets her off
11:03And that is why she'll never change
11:05Hey, you
11:18So I've heard how well you're doing
11:20And all the doctors and nurses, they-
11:22They wanna bring you around soon
11:23Which is fantastic
11:37Except it leaves me in a bit of a bind
11:41I love you so much
11:43I love you so much
11:44I just wish you didn't have to be this way
12:02I love you so much
12:20You will remember to pick Eve up, won't you?
12:39Yes, yeah, don't worry
12:41She'll need one to go to the party
12:42But you know what, she can't be here for all this
12:43It's too much
12:44Yeah, let's get Aaron sorted first
12:45Maybe I could bring her in after
12:46She can tell them all about it
12:47Might even bring him a bit of cake if he's lucky
12:48As if, when it comes to cake, he'll have to wrestle it often
13:01It doesn't seem right, we're all lying to her about how bad of a state he's in
13:21Well, you're as honest as you could, but
13:23Yeah, but she's not stupid, Liam
13:25She can see when I'm sugar-calling pink
13:27Well, hopefully, we can go home tonight and tell her that
13:30her big brother's gonna be okay
13:33Aaron! No, please, please just let me
13:40Liam do something, please! Aaron!
13:50John!
13:51Have you got permission to be out of bed?
13:54What are you doing here?
13:56Well, I came in to see Aaron earlier
13:58I, er, just braved the canteen before I head off to Dundee
14:02Thought I'd come and check that you wouldn't cause any trouble
14:07You alright?
14:08Do you want me to get someone?
14:09Oh, fine
14:10I just need to get back to my room
14:13I'm, er, supposed to be getting discharged today
14:16Yeah?
14:17If I get clearance, although
14:19The nurses all seem intent on keeping me confined to barracks
14:32Actually, you couldn't do me a massive favour, could you?
14:34I wouldn't usually ask, but
14:36I'm in no fit state
14:42Hey!
14:43Don't be thinking you'll be getting another kiddies' meal sandwich special
14:45They'll all be wanting one
14:46Give me the power of good that, you know
14:48Thank you so much
14:49Just gotta get him sorted there
14:50You don't have to keep doing this, you know
14:52It's not your responsibility to keep feeding me
14:54Yeah?
14:55I have to feed you up
14:56Get you big and strong for all that construction work
14:59Oh, yeah, but it was weeks ago, wasn't it?
15:01And, er, just the one off, so
15:02Oh, right
15:04Well, they might get you on site again
15:05Another build or something
15:07So, where's April?
15:08You and her usually joined at the hip
15:10Er, just doing some bits and bobs, yeah
15:12Fine
15:13Cause there's more chance to work on the master plan
15:15The next round of job applications
15:17Have you ever thought of trying the depot?
15:21Well, it's unlikely, innit?
15:22Especially what happened with Kyle and that
15:25Caleb
15:26You're not hiring at the moment, are you?
15:27I'm not sure we need a vet at the minute, but
15:29Thanks anyway
15:30That's very funny, I mean for him
15:32I'm a quick learner
15:33He's vaguely presentable
15:34We can make sure he's punctual
15:35Yeah, I dunno
15:37For all that stuff with, er, Myra and the farm
15:39Might not be the best idea
15:40Come on!
15:41He only needs a chance
15:42You must have had an helping hand at some point
15:44This is your chance to pay it back
15:45Paying it back?
15:47Alright, fine, yeah
15:48Come up and see me tomorrow
15:49Have a proper chat
15:50See how you go
15:51Wow
15:52Alright, yeah
15:53Yeah, nice one, cheers, yeah
15:54Don't thank me just yet
15:55It's only an interview
15:56He's fine
15:57His oxygen level's just dropped, but he's okay
15:59Oh, thank God
16:00He's going to be a bit groggy, but he's coming round
16:02Sweetheart
16:03Hey
16:04Hey, we're here, darling, okay? You're safe?
16:05You're doing really well
16:06Oh, babe, I thought I'd lost you
16:07Oh, babe
16:08I thought I'd lost you
16:12Oh, fancy meeting you here
16:13Started to think you weren't coming
16:14Well, some farmer Giles in his tractor
16:16Is taking up the whole road
16:17I just couldn't get past him
16:18Yeah, it tends to be a lot of that
16:19Yeah, it tends to be a lot of that
16:20I don't know
16:21I don't know
16:22He's going to be a bit groggy, but he's coming round
16:23Sweetheart
16:24Hey
16:25Hey, we're here, darling, okay? You're safe?
16:26You're doing really well
16:27Oh, babe
16:28I thought I'd lost you
16:30Okay
16:35Oh, fancy meeting you here
16:37Started to think you weren't coming
16:39Well, some farmer Giles in his tractor
16:42Is taking up the whole road
16:43I just couldn't get past him
16:45Yeah, it tends to be a lot of that round here
16:47Mm
16:48Still, you seem to be thriving on all the fresh air
16:51How's, er, how's April?
16:53She okay with things?
16:54Yeah, well, she's still up for doing the jobs
16:56If that's what you're asking
16:57So you know what I'm going to ask you now, don't you?
16:59Look, I mean, we're doing as many jobs as we can
17:02You know, we want that debt cleared just as much as you do, so
17:05Mm
17:06And I've just got a job interview up at a depot tomorrow
17:08I'm going legit
17:10Oh, yeah?
17:12I mean, probably know what fancy like
17:14Probably a bit of picking and packing, but
17:16You know, it's regular money, so
17:18You're a clever boy
17:21I knew you had it in you
17:22Weren't you taking me for a big slap-up meal then?
17:25Er...
17:27I'm winding you up, but I'm pleased for you, mate
17:29I'm pleased for you
17:30There's plenty of opportunities in a place like that
17:32If you play your cards right
17:34You've done well
17:36You've done well
17:37You've done nipped at Lou?
17:42Yeah
17:43Just looking for a safe haven
18:01Nicola
18:02Oh, I wish
18:03I've just had the full wrath of Gabby unleashed on me
18:08It seems like you're the only person in the village I haven't upset
18:12I'll get you a cup of tea
18:14I think I'm going to need something a bit stronger than that
18:23So you haven't spoken to Nicola then?
18:25I've tried
18:26Well, you can't blame her, can you?
18:29After the mess you left her in
18:30Oh, I don't
18:31I take full responsibility
18:35She's not coming in, is she?
18:36Only I don't think I could handle another mauling today
18:39I think you're safe in here
18:40Thanks
18:42At least I've got one friend in this big old wicked world, eh?
18:47We are still friends, aren't we, Bob?
18:50Is that it then?
18:51The doctors are just going to let him get on with it
18:53He's doing okay
18:55I think they just want to give us a few moments as a family
18:59No, no, darling
19:00Don't strain yourself
19:03Your throat's going to be sore from the intubation tube
19:05I need to get John
19:07No, don't worry, darling
19:08We'll get him
19:09Do you want me to get him?
19:11Oh, Kenneth
19:12Hey, hey, don't upset yourself
19:13Maybe you should get a nurse
19:15Kenneth
19:16What?
19:18What was that?
19:20He's confused
19:22No, what about Mac?
19:23I can't see John
19:27John's John
19:29John's gone, Mackenzie
19:34I'm going to bill you for this, mind
19:36I fully expect you to
19:40You know, for someone that always hated my interior design
19:43You've not changed much, have you?
19:44Yeah, well
19:46I suppose it sort of grew on me
19:48Even the gold pineapple
19:50Yeah, well there's some things that you don't want to let go of
19:53Do you?
19:59You know, I often wonder
20:01what might have happened between us if things had been different
20:05So do I
20:07Don't be kind
20:09I always knew that I was punching way above my weight
20:13Is that what you really think?
20:16You've no idea how lovely you are, have you?
20:18Let's not be too hasty
20:19He was disorientated, he was confused
20:20He didn't sound confused, he meant it
20:21You okay?
20:22Oh God, it isn't Aaron, is it?
20:24He's fine, he's fine, he's come round
20:25Let's speak to John
20:26A nurse said he's discharged himself
20:28Aaron reckons that John's got Mackenzie somewhere
20:29What?
20:30That's what he said, John has got Mackenzie
20:31What?
20:32That's what he said, John has got Mackenzie
20:33But what does he mean, he's got him?
20:34Well, I don't know, he's hurt him, he's keeping him somewhere
20:35But something is very, very wrong
20:36Okay, we don't know anything for certain
