00:30Er, yeah, come in.
00:35Alright, can you get your hair on?
00:40Oh, hi.
00:42Good morning, Mr Dingle. Sorry to come by so early.
00:45I'm Tamara Longford, the prosecution barrister in the case against Graham Connelly.
00:48We spoke on the phone.
00:50Right, okay. Is everything okay?
00:54I'm afraid there's been a slight complication.
00:56Like what?
00:59We've been informed that the defence will be calling your wife in as a witness.
01:03Excuse me?
01:04I'm terribly sorry, Mr Dingle. I know you wanted to keep your wife out of this.
01:08Well, Gabby's got nothing to do with the case.
01:10They're saying she has relevant information, but it's mainly to stop you taking the stand.
01:15Is that even legal?
01:17We see this sort of shady tactic all the time.
01:19I know, but the one thing I wanted, okay, was to keep Gabby out of this. She can't find out, alright?
01:23I understand, but on the positive side, this shows just how vital your testimony is to the case.
01:28Okay, well, if I pull out, then will I still call Gabby?
01:32If you drop your complaint, then they would have no reason to pursue her, no.
01:38I'm sorry, right, but you've got to go.
01:40I appreciate this puts you in a tough position, but remember, your testimony will help us secure a conviction to make sure Mr Connelly never does this again.
01:48I'll call you. Let's go.
01:57Hi.
01:58Hey, who's that?
01:59Er, delivery, wrong. I'm still looking for Manpreet's.
02:03But, er, talking of delivery.
02:05Oh, is this for me?
02:07Well, we can't have breakfast in bed if we're not in bed, can we, so?
02:18What are you holding up this morning?
02:20I see your coffees.
02:22Yeah, I'm sorry about what I said the other day.
02:24I didn't mean to imply that you had anything to do with John's disappearance.
02:27I know that you've been through a lot.
02:29Right, thanks.
02:31But still, I do think that someone must have helped him, don't you?
02:34He can't have vanished into thin air.
02:36Although Jimmy seems to manage it every time there's chores to be done.
02:39John got lucky then.
02:40Speaking of which...
02:42What?
02:43Well, when are you two getting back together?
02:45Have you ever thought about minding your own business?
02:47Well, I don't need to get shirty.
02:51Ah, so this is where you've been hiding.
02:54Did you have any of us?
02:56Er, no, er, Vic's actually not stopping.
03:00Am I not?
03:01Well, no.
03:02There's a lot going on up at the farm.
03:04Best to get started.
03:05The farm can wait.
03:06No, to be fair, he's right.
03:07There is a lot to be done, so I'll see you there, yeah?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Once you've done what you need to do.
03:12That was weird.
03:13You tried a fight or something?
03:14No, it's nothing, you know, Vic.
03:15She's either annoyed or being annoyed.
03:16No, she's not like that with me.
03:17Must be a you problem.
03:18The defence asking Gabby to go on stand.
03:19To pressure you into pulling out?
03:20I can't believe this is happening.
03:21I'm not going to call the palms.
03:22It's a tactic.
03:23You've just got to firm it.
03:24There is no firm within it, Cammy.
03:25There's no firm within it.
03:26If Cammy finds, that's it.
03:27She'll stop the adoption.
03:30She'll leave me and then she'll never talk to me again!
03:33You're tripping, man, she walked.
03:34I just knew it I knew something like this was going to happen.
03:36I can't believe this is happening.
03:38I'm not going to call the pams.
03:40It's a tactic. You've just got to firm it.
03:42There is no firm in it, Cammy.
03:44If Cammy finds out that's it, she'll stop the adoption,
03:46she'll leave me and then she'll never talk to me again.
03:48You're tripping, man. She won't.
03:50I just knew it. I knew something like this was going to happen.
03:52Listen, you've done nothing wrong.
03:54You're the victim here, yeah?
03:56You haven't hurt anyone. You've got nothing to hide.
04:00Remember, you're doing the right thing.
04:04You're getting justice for you and for everyone else that scumbag hurt.
04:08That's got to be worth it, no?
04:10Come on.
04:12What am I going to do?
04:14You're going to tell Gabby everything.
04:18She'll get it. She loves you. It'll be fine.
04:20Trust me.
04:22And then you're going to go to court
04:24and we're going to take that piece of work down.
04:28Okay?
04:30Okay, Vinnie?
04:32Okay.
04:34Okay.
04:36I thought he'd be up at the farm already.
04:40Did you tell him?
04:42Didn't seem like the right time.
04:44No. Much better to wait till it all blows up in your face.
04:48It'll be fine.
04:50Just yesterday, I find out that you're in some secret prison marriage
04:54and then this morning you're having breakfast with Aaron
04:56as if nothing's going on. How is that fine?
04:58He invited me for coffee as a friend.
05:00What was I supposed to do? Turn him down?
05:02So you're just not going to tell him?
05:04I know Aaron's been through a lot.
05:06Yes, and he's been constantly lied to.
05:08So we really shouldn't be keeping secrets from him.
05:10Well, it's not like any of this has been easy for me either.
05:12Oh, how come?
05:14Worried you're going to lose out on all that money?
05:16It's not about the money, Vic. Don't you get it?
05:18He's dying.
05:20A man that I've spent years of my life with.
05:22A man that I care about deeply.
05:24My husband.
05:26He's going to die soon.
05:28I...
05:30I can't get my head round it.
05:32I'm sorry, Robert.
05:34I didn't think.
05:38Kev's...
05:40He's one of a kind.
05:42He'd probably get on.
05:44He just wasn't supposed to end like this.
05:48But still, Aaron deserves to know the truth.
05:50I know, and I'll tell him. I will, eventually.
05:52After all this.
05:54When I got my head straight.
05:56I don't know, maybe after the funeral.
05:58But he doesn't need to know right now.
06:00And what about Kev?
06:02Are you going to tell him how close you and Aaron really are?
06:04There's nothing to tell.
06:06Me and Aaron, we're just friends.
06:08No, seriously, Vic.
06:10We agreed. Friends.
06:12And what would be the point in telling Kev now anyway?
06:14He's got months to live.
06:16He'd destroy him.
06:18You sure you don't want me to come with you?
06:20Nah, it's alright. Better if I talk to him by myself.
06:22Look, thanks for doing this for me.
06:24Of course, when it's together, alright?
06:26Right, we'll be here in a minute and I'll see you later, yeah?
06:28Yeah, see ya.
06:30Where's the body?
06:32Ray.
06:33I'm usually the one texting you to meet up, so there must be emergency if you're the one hitting me up.
06:36It's about April, alright?
06:38I know you've got a deal in.
06:40I should have guessed she'd tell you.
06:42No secrets between you two, eh?
06:44You've got to stop it, alright?
06:46I'm not forcing anything.
06:48It's all her idea she's keen to pay off the debt as quick as she can.
06:50Listen, drops are one thing, yeah?
06:52But this is way more dangerous for me, alright?
06:54I don't want her dealing.
06:56Are you trying to protect her?
06:58She's a lucky girl, that one.
07:00I just want to look after her, alright?
07:01Same here, D-Man.
07:02I want to keep her safe.
07:03I want to keep both of you safe.
07:04But that is why I'm giving her the easy gigs.
07:06There's nothing scary at all.
07:07She'll be fine.
07:08There's still a risk, isn't there?
07:09Listen, is anyone up here?
07:10I'm not forcing anything.
07:11I'm not forcing anything.
07:12It's all her idea.
07:13She's keen to pay off the debt as quick as she can.
07:14Listen, drops are one thing, yeah?
07:15But this is way more dangerous for me, alright?
07:16I don't want her dealing.
07:17Are you trying to protect her?
07:18I want to keep her safe.
07:19I want to keep both of you safe.
07:20But that is why I'm giving her the easy gigs.
07:23There's nothing scary at all.
07:25She'll be fine.
07:26There's still a risk, isn't there?
07:28Listen, is anyone at home?
07:30Why don't I whip us up some grub
07:32and we'll see if we can sort things out?
07:34How does that sound?
07:35Yeah?
07:39Well, you should have all the paperwork you need now for the adoption.
07:44Oh, I thought you sent it through.
07:46Right.
07:47Okay.
07:48Well, um, his passport should be here somewhere.
07:52Um...
08:01Can I just give you a quick call back?
08:04Alright.
08:05Bye, bye, bye.
08:18Do you know the secret?
08:20Dash of lemon in the batter.
08:22I'm really not.
08:23Sit down.
08:24It makes them fluffy every time.
08:26That's what Mother used to say.
08:29It makes sense that April wants to start dealing, given how much she owes.
08:33Yeah, and I'm helping too, you know, making money at the depot.
08:36Yeah.
08:37And that's...
08:38That's good of you, D-Man.
08:39But it's not enough, is it?
08:43I went out of my way to get April this gig.
08:46You know, it wasn't easy getting the bosses to listen.
08:49They don't like being asked favours, especially not by kids who've lost the money.
08:55You see, they wanted to teach you both a proper lesson.
08:59And I said, back off.
09:01I convinced them that you were good kids.
09:04And that given the chance, you would do the right thing.
09:11I didn't know you did all that.
09:13Oh, I told you, D-Man.
09:16I've got your back.
09:18What are brothers for, eh?
09:20The best thing you can do in return is to focus on clearing that debt.
09:25Yeah, and we try to pay it off as quick as we can, Ray.
09:29Not if April stops dealing.
09:33Listen, I will have to ask the bosses,
09:35and I reckon they're going to feel like they're being mugged off.
09:38And I know what that looks like when that happens.
09:40So if I end up in hospital, you promise you'll come and visit?
09:43Don't say that, Ray.
09:44Sorry.
09:46Like, I want to protect you both, but I know how bad it can get.
09:50I can also see how worried you are about April.
09:53Well, can we at least try, then?
09:54Fine.
10:00Fine.
10:01Let's make these pancakes, and I'll give them a call.
10:03Alright?
10:04I'm not making any promises, though.
10:06I know you love flowers, so...
10:12You're not apologising for something?
10:15What?
10:16No, I just thought you'd like them.
10:19It's nothing to do with this, then.
10:22Uh, where did you find that?
10:24In the drawer.
10:25I was looking for your passport for Thomas' adoption papers.
10:29So go on.
10:31Who is Graham Connolly?
10:32What's happened between the two of you?
10:33And why are you due in court?
10:34Because...
10:35Binny!
10:36What on earth is going on?
10:51So go on, then. What happened?
10:52Because I need to know everything.
10:55Right, so I, erm...
10:57I met this guy.
10:58Where?
10:59On a forum.
11:00Online.
11:01Right.
11:03Anyway, we...
11:05We got chatting.
11:06You know, it was nice.
11:07We...
11:08We connected.
11:09What do you mean, connected?
11:11Well, we just had, like, loads in common.
11:13You know, like, experiences, things we'd been through.
11:17I genuinely thought I'd made a friend, so...
11:20I invited him round.
11:22What, you met up with him in person?
11:25Yeah.
11:29It was great at the start.
11:30It was, like, on the forum, you know.
11:32We just...
11:33Got each other straight away.
11:35And then...
11:36I don't know what happened, but it just...
11:37Things got messed up.
11:39It was weird.
11:40And then he just flipped out.
11:44Oh, my God!
11:46What?
11:47Was it him?
11:48The kids?
11:49Who broke into the scrapyard?
11:52Remember when the police came round and there'd been a break-in?
11:56Was that Graham?
11:59It...
12:00Yeah.
12:01No, yeah.
12:02That's what it's about.
12:03I knew it!
12:04I knew what you told the police was off.
12:05Why didn't you just say it was him?
12:07Because it was embarrassing, wasn't it?
12:08I thought it was my friend and then...
12:11He goes and does this, so clearly he was never my friend.
12:15Well, did he steal anything?
12:17Nothing worth stealing, no.
12:20I'm surprised Aaron didn't just deal with him himself.
12:22Yeah, well, Aaron doesn't know about it.
12:24What, you haven't told him?
12:25Because he had so much going on.
12:26I just thought I'd help him out, you know, and...
12:28Deal with it on my own.
12:31Oh, Vinnie.
12:33Taking the bad guys to court.
12:35Do you want me to come with you?
12:37No, there's...
12:38There's no need for that.
12:39Oh, come on!
12:40Then we can celebrate when you win.
12:41Honestly, it's fine.
12:42Okay, it's not a big deal, you know.
12:43I'll just...
12:45I'll let you know how it goes after.
12:47Alright.
12:48If you insist.
12:52Aww.
12:53Hmm.
12:59Yeah, yeah.
13:00Please.
13:01Please, boss.
13:02No.
13:04They hung up.
13:07What...
13:08What does that mean?
13:09Won't be that bad, will it?
13:11They weren't happy.
13:14If I end up dead...
13:15No, no, no, no.
13:16Stop, alright?
13:17There's got to be another way, ain't there?
13:20But...
13:22I don't know, erm...
13:24Well, it's...
13:25It's okay.
13:26I'm keeping you safe.
13:27I don't want you in danger because of us.
13:32If April keeps dealing, will you be safe?
13:36Erm...
13:39Maybe.
13:40Alright, so...
13:41So, ring them back.
13:42Tell them we've changed our mind and she'll keep dealing.
13:46Are you sure?
13:47Yeah.
13:48What about April?
13:51She'll be fine.
13:53If it means you're safe and you'll look after her, won't you?
13:56Yeah.
13:58Okay.
13:59Erm...
14:00Well, let's see if this works.
14:04You might just have saved my life, D-Man.
14:06Oh, hello.
14:07You alright?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Is, er...
14:10Robert not around?
14:11No.
14:12He's still up at the farm.
14:13Oh, okay.
14:14Why?
14:15Just...
14:16seeing if you fancy a beer.
14:17How's all the farming going?
14:18Oh, it's like motherhood.
14:19The work is never done.
14:20What about you two?
14:21Seemed quite close this morning.
14:22You're still just friends.
14:23Yep.
14:24You don't sound convinced.
14:25Well, the police came round and dropped off mine and John's stuff from the cottage.
14:27Oh, Aaron.
14:28Oh, that must have been...
14:29Are you okay?
14:30Mmm.
14:31Didn't...
14:32Didn't...
14:33I didn't really take it well.
14:34No, of course not.
14:35I can't even imagine.
14:36Then Robert came and found me and...
14:37he was really good about it all.
14:38He was really good about it all.
14:39I was really good about it all.
14:40I was really happy about it all.
14:41And I was really happy about it all.
14:42What about you two?
14:43You seemed quite close this morning.
14:44You're still just friends.
14:45Yeah.
14:46You don't sound convinced.
14:47Well, the police came round and dropped off mine and John's stuff from the cottage.
14:50Oh, Aaron.
14:51Oh, that must have been...
14:52Are you okay?
14:53No, I didn't...
14:54I didn't really take it well.
14:55No, of course not.
14:56I can't even imagine...
14:57He was really good about it all.
15:00I mean, to be honest...
15:01I don't think I'd have got through it without him.
15:04Just don't tell him that.
15:06Don't worry.
15:07His head's big enough as it is.
15:09It is good to have him round.
15:12Yeah.
15:14But just...
15:16be careful.
15:17You've both been through so much recently.
15:20Just don't rush into anything.
15:22The last thing you need is to dive into another relationship.
15:25Yeah, I get it pick.
15:26It's fine.
15:27Honestly.
15:28I'm not even thinking about it.
15:30Or him.
15:31I'm not really thinking about anything.
15:34You sure?
15:36Yeah.
15:37I'm sure.
15:44Is there something I should know?
15:46No.
15:47I'm just glad you're looking after yourself.
15:54How did it go with Gab's?
15:57Do you know what Gabby was doing today?
16:00The paperwork for me to adopt Thomas.
16:04And then she found the court summons.
16:07Damn it.
16:08Rough.
16:09You tell her.
16:11I couldn't do it.
16:12What?
16:13Why?
16:14Come here, I tried.
16:16I wanted to come clean.
16:17And then the time came and I just...
16:20I just lied.
16:21I don't know what happened.
16:23I'm such a coward.
16:24No, you're not.
16:26You're just...
16:27scared.
16:29I get it.
16:30But you know what they say.
16:31The truth will give you wings.
16:33Or something like that, anyway.
16:34Yeah, I'll have chairs by mine.
16:36I'm pulling out the case.
16:38What?
16:39Why?
16:40You're almost there.
16:41I can't do it.
16:42Bro!
16:43Look, I've chickened out and told my own wife what happened.
16:44So how am I ready to stand up and court?
16:45Listen, you've got this.
16:46No.
16:47Yeah, yeah, look.
16:48We can even practice what you're going to say.
16:49I'll even pray for you.
16:50Can we stop?
16:51Yeah, no, yeah, we can't.
16:52Stop trying to push me!
16:57I'm not...
16:58I'm not trying to force anything.
17:00I'm just trying to help you.
17:02Yeah, well, don't.
17:03Because I'm not like you.
17:05Okay?
17:06I can't just face my fears or whatever you keep telling me to do.
17:08Okay?
17:09Because it's my life being blown up.
17:10My future with Gabby.
17:11Me being Thomas' dad.
17:12For what?
17:13I can't risk it.
17:14I don't want to do it.
17:15I don't, okay?
17:16End of!
17:20Okay.
17:23Right, well, if...
17:24If you're 100% sure...
17:26Yeah, I am.
17:30Safe.
17:33I get it.
17:34Sometimes you've got to protect your peace.
17:37It don't matter about anything else.
17:41You've just got to look out for you.
17:49I've got to get to the garage.
17:50Yeah, it's fine.
17:51Go.
17:52Go.
17:57He really tried, April.
17:58So it didn't work?
17:59Told you there was no point.
18:01Yeah.
18:02He called up the big bosses.
18:03They were bad.
18:04Like, serious.
18:05They got so mad they wanted to.
18:09Look, he said he'd look after you.
18:11And only give you the easy jobs.
18:14I'm sorry I couldn't get you out of it.
18:17Look, I don't like it any more than you do.
18:20But if it means that we can get this debt paid off quicker and Ray doesn't get killed, then...
18:25What choice have I got?
18:29When did you get back?
18:31More important question is, where did you go?
18:33You said you were going to come back to the farm and then it was just me running around in a field with 50 ewes.
18:37Well, it was lucky I came home early, actually.
18:40Aaron dropped by, asking if you wanted to go for a drink.
18:43Oh, yeah?
18:44Yeah.
18:45He was full of praise about how you helped him out the other day.
18:48You never mentioned it.
18:49No, it was nothing.
18:50Didn't sound like nothing.
18:51I mean, he told me not to say anything to you, but...
18:54Seems like you really helped him.
18:57Robert, I can't keep lying to him.
19:00You're not lying.
19:01You're just...
19:03Not telling him everything.
19:04It's exhausting.
19:05And you know he deserves more.
19:08And was that a visiting order I saw?
19:11Yeah.
19:13He wants me to visit him.
19:15Right.
19:17It's a bit awkward, isn't it?
19:18No, it won't be a problem.
19:20Just visit once a week.
19:23A few days out, here and there, on licence.
19:26Might be fine.
19:28You don't have to like it.
19:29It's my husband, living out his last few days, he deserves dignity and care.
19:33You can at least let me give him that.
19:37The hide was non-stop today.
19:42Hey, if you keep frowning like that, you'll get wrinkles.
19:46What's up?
19:48You worried about that Connolly guy?
19:51I've decided not to go to court.
19:53Oh.
19:55Is everything okay?
19:57I don't know.
20:00Do you want to talk about it?
20:03No, it's not that big of a deal.
20:04It's just...
20:08I figured, you know, they've got my statement and it's a strong case, so...
20:12Why bother with asshole?
20:13You know, it's just...
20:14It's easier, innit?
20:17It's a shame.
20:19Looking forward to seeing you in a suit.
20:21Yeah, well, I've made my mind up.
20:24Okay.
20:26If you think that's best.
20:29I'm, er...
20:30Gonna go for a drink.
20:32Join me when you're ready.
20:33Oh.
20:59Hi, Miss Longford.
21:01It's...
21:02It's Finny.
21:04Look, I've...
21:07I've made my mind up and...
21:09I'm not gonna take the stand.
21:14Yeah, that's right, I've decided to...
21:16Pull out the case.
21:20Yeah, I...
21:21I am.
21:22I am, sure.
21:24I know, but you've got plenty of other witnesses you can rely on.
21:26I just...
21:27I can't risk Gaby finding out, okay?
21:34I understand.
21:37But this is my final decision, okay?
21:42Okay.
21:43I'm good.
21:44I'm good.
21:47And, uh...
21:49...
21:51I'm not...
21:53I don't know.
21:55Yeah, I think...
21:56I'm not...
21:57I'm not gonna leave.
21:58I don't know.
21:59Uh...
