00:00Thank you very much.

00:30Yeah, 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 Connolly.

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.

01:19The 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 Connolly never does this again.

01:48Okay, we'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?

02:47I don't need to get shirty.

02:51Ah, so this is where you've been hiding.

02:54Cheerios.

02:56Er, no, er, Vic's actually not stopping.

03:00Am I not?

03:01Well, no, there's a lot going on up at the farm.

03:03Best 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.

03:17You tired of fighting or something?

03:19No, it's nothing, you know, Vic.

03:20She's either annoyed or being annoying.

03:22No, she's not like that with me.

03:24Must be a you problem.

03:25The defence, asking Gabby to go on stand.

03:34To pressure you into pulling out?

03:36I can't believe this is happening.

03:38You're not going to call the palms.

03:40It's a tactic, you've just got to firm it.

03:42There is no firm in it, Cammy.

03:44Cammy 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.

03:51I knew something like this was going to happen.

03:52Listen, you've done nothing wrong.

03:55You're the victim here, yeah?

03:57You 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

04:06and 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.

04:17She'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.

04:27Okay?

04:29Okay, Vinnie?

04:32Okay.

04:33Okay.

04:38I thought he'd be up at the farm already.

04:39Did you tell him?

04:41Didn't seem like the right time.

04:43No.

04:44Much better to wait till it all blows up in your face.

04:46It'll be fine.

04:49Just yesterday I found out that you were in some secret prison marriage

04:53and then this morning you're having breakfast with Aaron

04:55as if nothing's going on.

04:56How is that fine?

04:58He invited me for coffee as a friend.

05:00What was I supposed to do, turn him down?

05:01So you're just not going to tell him?

05:03I know Aaron's been through a lot.

05:05Yes, and he's been constantly lied to.

05:07So we really shouldn't be keeping secrets from him.

05:10Well, it's not like I hear this has been easy for me either.

05:12Oh, how come?

05:13Worried you're going to lose out on all that money?

05:16It's not about the money, Vic.

05:17Don't you get it?

05:18He's dying.

05:19A man that I've spent years of my life with.

05:22A man that I care about deeply.

05:23My husband.

05:24He's going to die soon.

05:27I...

05:28I can't get my head round it.

05:32I'm sorry, Robert.

05:35I didn't think.

05:37Kev's...

05:39He's one of a kind.

05:41You'd probably get on.

05:44She wasn't supposed to end like this.

05:47But still, Aaron deserves to know the truth.

05:50I know.

05:51And I'll tell him.

05:52I will.

05:53Eventually.

05:54After all this.

05:55When I got my head straight.

05:57I don't know.

05:58Maybe after the funeral.

05:59But he doesn't need to know right now.

06:01And what about Kev?

06:03Are you going to tell him how close you and Aaron really are?

06:05There's nothing to tell.

06:07Me and Aaron were just friends.

06:09No, seriously, Vic.

06:11We agreed.

06:12Friends.

06:13And what would be the point in telling Kev now anyway?

06:14He's got months to live.

06:16He'd destroy him.

06:19You sure you don't want me to come with you?

06:21No, it's all right.

06:22Better if I talk to him by myself.

06:24Well, thanks for doing this for me.

06:26Of course.

06:27We're in this together, all right?

06:29Right.

06:30Well, I'll be here in a minute.

06:31And I'll see you later, yeah?

06:33Yeah, see ya.

06:41Where's the body?

06:43Ray.

06:44I'm usually the one texting you to meet up.

06:46So there must be emergency if you're the one hitting me up.

06:49It's about April, all right?

06:51I know you've got her dealing.

06:53I should have guessed she'd tell you.

06:55No secrets between you two, eh?

06:57You've got to stop it, all right?

06:59I'm not forcing anything.

07:01It's all her idea.

07:02She's keen to pay off the debt as quick as she can.

07:04Listen, drops are one thing, yeah?

07:06But this is way more dangerous for me, all right?

07:09I don't want her dealing.

07:10Are you trying to protect her?

07:12She's a lucky girl, that one.

07:14I just want to look after her, all right?

07:16Same here, D-Man.

07:17I want to keep her safe, I 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 there anyone at home?

07:30Why don't I whip us up some grub and we'll see if we can sort things out?

07:33How does that sound?

07:35Yeah?

07:36Well, you should have all the paperwork you need now for the adoption.

07:43Oh, I thought you sent it through.

07:46Right.

07:47Okay.

07:48Well, um, his passport should be here somewhere.

07:53Um...

08:01Can I just give you a quick call back?

08:04Alright. Bye, bye, bye.

08:18Do you know the secret?

08:20Dash of lemon in the batter.

08:22I'm really not.

08:23Sit down.

08:24Makes 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, and that's...

08:38That's good of you, D-Man.

08:39But it's not enough, is it?

08:42I 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.

09:00And I said, back off.

09:02I convinced them that you were good kids.

09:04And that given the chance, you would do the right thing.

09:08I didn't know you did all that.

09:13I told you, D-Man.

09:17I've got your back.

09:18What a brother's for, eh?

09:20The best thing you can do in return is to focus on clearing that debt.

09:25Yeah, and we'll try to pay it off as quick as we can, Ray.

09:29Not if April stops dealing.

09:32Listen, I will have to ask the bosses and 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.

09:45Look, 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?

09:58Fine.

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.

10:11I know you love flowers, so...

10:14You're not apologising for something?

10:16What? No, I just thought you'd like them.

10:19It's nothing to do with this, then.

10:22Er...

10:23Where 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 and why are you due in court?

10:34Because...

10:35Vinny!

10:36What on earth is going on?

10:43What happened?

10:44Because I need to know everything.

10:45Right, so I...

10:46I met this guy.

10:47Where?

10:48On a forum, online.

10:49Right.

10:50Anyway, we...

10:51We got chatting.

10:52You know, it was nice.

10:53We...

10:54We connected.

10:55What do you mean connected?

10:56What do you mean connected?

10:57Well, we just had, like, loads in common.

10:58You know, like, experiences, things we'd been through.

11:02I genuinely thought I'd made a friend, so I invited him round.

11:05What, you met up with him in person?

11:06Yeah.

11:07It was great at the start.

11:08It was like...

11:09On the forum, you know, we just got each other straight away.

11:12And we just got to know each other straight away.

11:14Yeah.

11:15We were just, like, chatting.

11:16You know, it was nice.

11:17We...

11:18We were connected.

11:19What do you mean connected?

11:20What do you mean connected?

11:21We just had, like, loads in common.

11:22You know, experiences, things we'd been through.

11:24I genuinely thought I'd made a friend, so I...

11:27I invited him round.

11:28What, you met up with him in person?

11:30Yeah.

11:31It was great at the start.

11:32It was, like, on the forum, you know.

11:33Got each other straight away.

11:35And then...

11:36I don't know what happened, but it just...

11:38Things got messed up.

11:39It was weird.

11:40And then it just flipped out.

11:43Oh, my God!

11:45What?

11:47Was it him?

11:48The kids?

11:49Who broke into the scrapyard?

11:51Remember when the police came round and there'd been a break-in?

11:55Was that Graham?

11:59Yeah.

12:00No, yeah.

12:01That's what it's about.

12:02I knew it.

12:03I 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 he was my friend and then...

12:10He goes and does this, so clearly he was never my friend.

12:14Well, did he steal anything?

12:16Nothing worth stealing, no.

12:19I'm surprised Aaron didn't just deal with him himself.

12:21Yeah, well, Aaron doesn't know about it.

12:23What, you haven't told him?

12:24No, because he had so much going on.

12:26I just thought I'd help him out, you know, and deal with it on my own.

12:30Oh, Vinny.

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...

12:44I'll let you know how it goes after.

12:47Alright.

12:48If you insist.

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?

13:20Well...

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...

13:38Maybe.

13:39Alright, so...

13:40So ring them back.

13:41Tell them we've changed our mind and she'll keep dealing.

13:45Are you sure?

13:46Yeah.

13:48What about April?

13:50She'll be fine.

13:52If 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?

14:21You seem 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.

14:26Oh, Aaron.

14:27Oh, that must have been...

14:28Are you okay?

14:29No, I didn't-

14:30I didn't really take it well.

14:31No, of course not.

14:33I can't even imagine.

14:34Then Robert came and found me and he was really happy.

14:35Really?

14:36And I'm like, yeah.

14:37What about you two?

14:38You seem quite close this morning.

14:39You're still just friends?

14:40Yeah.

14:41You don't sound convinced.

14:42Well, the police came round and dropped off mine and John's stuff from the cottage.

14:43Oh, Aaron.

14:44Oh, that must have been...

14:46Are you okay?

14:48No.

14:49I didn't really take it well.

14:52No, of course not.

14:53I can't even imagine.

14:56Then Robert came and found me and he was really good for me.

14:57And he was really good about it all.

15:00I mean, to be honest, I don't think I'd have got through it without him.

15:05Just don't tell him that.

15:06Don't worry. His head's big enough as it is.

15:11It is good to have him round.

15:13Yeah.

15:15But just be careful.

15:18You've both been through so much recently.

15:21Just don't rush into anything.

15:23The last thing you need is to dive into another relationship.

15:25Yeah, I'll get it back. It's fine, honestly.

15:28I'm not even thinking about it.

15:30Or him.

15:32I'm not really thinking about anything.

15:35You sure?

15:37Yeah.

15:38I'm sure.

15:44Is there something I should know?

15:46No.

15:48I'm just glad you're looking after yourself.

15:53How did it go with Gabs?

15:55Do you know what Gabby was doing today?

15:59The paperwork for me to adopt Thomas.

16:04And then she found the court summons.

16:07Damn it.

16:08Rough.

16:10You tell her.

16:11I couldn't do it.

16:12What? Why?

16:14Look at me, I tried.

16:16I wanted to come clean.

16:17And then the time came.

16:19And I, I, I, I, I, I just, I just lied.

16:21I don't know what happened.

16:23I'm such a coward.

16:25No, you're not.

16:26You're just scared.

16:29I get it.

16:30But you know what they say.

16:31The truth will give you wings.

16:33Or something like that, anyway.

16:35Yeah, well, that chair's my mind.

16:37I'm pulling out the case.

16:38What?

16:38Why?

16:39You're almost there.

16:39I can't do it.

16:40Bro!

16:41Look, I've chickened out and told my own wife what happened.

16:43So how am I going to stand up and go?

16:44Listen, you've got this.

16:46No.

16:46Yeah, yeah, look, we can even practice what you're going to say.

16:48I'll even pray for you.

16:49Can we stop?

16:49Yeah, no, yeah, we can't.

16:50Stop trying to push me!

16:57I'm not, I'm not trying to force anything.

17:00I'm just trying to help you.

17:01Yeah, well, don't.

17:03Because I'm not like you, okay?

17:06I can't just face my fears or whatever you keep telling me to do, okay?

17:08Because it's my life being blown up.

17:10My future with Gabby.

17:11Me being Thomas' dad.

17:12But for what?

17:13I can't risk it.

17:14I don't want to do it.

17:15I don't, okay?

17:16End of!

17:19Okay.

17:22Right, well, if you're 100% sure...

17:26Yeah, I am.

17:30So, I get it.

17:34Sometimes you've got to protect your peace.

17:38It don't matter about anything else.

17:41You've just got to look out for you.

17:45I've got to get to the garage.

17:51Yeah, it's fine.

17:51Go.

17:52He really tried, April.

17:57So, it didn't work.

18:00Told you there was no point.

18:01Yeah.

18:01He called up the big bosses.

18:03It were bad.

18:04Like, serious.

18:05They got so mad, they wanted to.

18:06Well, he said he'd look after you and only give you the easy jobs.

18:15I'm sorry I couldn't get you out of it.

18:17Well, 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...

18:24What choice have I got?

18:29When did you get back?

18:30More 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 he wanted to go for a drink.

18:43Oh, yeah?

18:43Yeah.

18:44He was full of praise about how you helped him out the other day.

18:47You never mentioned it.

18:48No, it was nothing.

18:49Didn'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.

18:59You're not lying.

19:01You're just...

19:02You're not telling him everything.

19:04It's exhausting.

19:05And you know he deserves more.

19:07And was that a visiting order I saw?

19:11Yeah.

19:11He wants me to visit him.

19:14Right.

19:16It's a bit awkward, isn't it?

19:18No, it won't be a problem.

19:19Just visit once a week.

19:22A few days out here and there on licence.

19:26That'll be fine.

19:27You don't have to like it.

19:29It's my husband, living out his last few days.

19:32He deserves dignity and care.

19:33You can at least let me give him that.

19:37The hide was non-stop today.

19:40Hey, if you keep frowning like that, you'll get wrinkles.

19:45What's up?

19:47You worried about that Connolly guy?

19:50I've decided not to go to court.

19:53Oh.

19:54Is everything okay?

19:55I don't know.

19:59Do you want to talk about it?

20:03No, it's not that big of a deal.

20:04It's just...

20:05I figured, you know, they've got my statement and it's a strong case, so...

20:11why bother with hassle, you know, it's just, it's easier, isn't it?

20:15Huh.

20:17It's a shame.

20:18Looking 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.

20:28I'm, er...

20:29going to go for a drink.

20:31Join me when you're ready.

20:32Hi, Miss Longford.

21:00It's, it's Finney.

21:05Look, I've, I've, I've made my mind up and, and...

21:09I'm not going to take the stand.

21:13Yeah, that's right, I've decided to pull out the case.

21:19Yeah, I, I am, I am, sure.

21:23I know, but you've got plenty of other witnesses you can rely on.

21:25I just, I can't risk Gabby finding out, okay?

21:28I understand.

21:36But this is my final decision, okay?

21:42Okay.

21:43I will do that.
