00:00Oh, yeah, come in.
00:21All right, can you get your hair on?
00:25Oh, hi.
00:27Good morning, Mr Lingle. Sorry to come by so early.
00:30I'm Tamara Longford, the prosecution barrister in the case against Graham Connolly.
00:34We spoke on the phone.
00:35Right, OK. Is everything OK?
00:39I'm afraid there's been a slight complication.
00:42Like what?
00:44We've been informed that the defence will be calling your wife in as a witness.
00:48Excuse me?
00:49I'm terribly sorry, Mr Dingle. I know you wanted to keep your wife out of this.
00:53Well, Gabby's got a lot to do with the case.
00:55They're saying she has relevant information, but it's mainly to stop you taking the stand.
01:00Is that even legal?
01:02We see this sort of shady tactic all the time.
01:05The one thing I wanted, OK, was to keep Gabby out of this.
01:07She can't find out, all right?
01:08I understand, but on the positive side, this shows just how vital your testimony is to the case.
01:14OK, well, if I pull out, then will I still call Gabby?
01:18If you drop your complaint, then they would have no reason to pursue her, no.
01:23I'm sorry, right, but you've got to go.
01:25I 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.
01:33I'll call you. Let's go.
01:34Hi.
01:43Hey, who's that?
01:44Er, delivery.
01:46Wrong. I'm still looking for Manpreet's.
01:48But, er, talking of delivery.
01:51Oh, is this for me?
01:52Well, we can't have breakfast in bed if we're not in bed, can we, so?
01:55Are you holding up this morning?
02:06See your coffees.
02:07Yeah, I'm sorry about what I said the other day.
02:09I didn't mean to imply that you had anything to do with John's disappearance.
02:12I know that you've been through a lot.
02:14Right, thanks.
02:16Pat, still, I do think that someone must have helped him, don't you?
02:20He can't have vanished into thin air.
02:22Although Jimmy seems to manage it every time there's chores to be done.
02:25John got lucky, then.
02:26Speaking of which.
02:28What?
02:29Well, when are you two getting back together?
02:31Have you ever thought about minding your own business?
02:33Well, I don't need to get shirty.
02:37Ah, so this is where you've been hiding.
02:40It's all yours.
02:42Er, no, er, Vic's actually not stopping.
02:45Am I not?
02:46Well, no, there's a lot going on up at the farm.
02:49Best to get started.
02:50The farm can wait.
02:51No, to be fair, he's right.
02:53There is a lot to be done, so I'll see you there.
02:54Yeah, yeah?
02:55Yeah.
02:55Once you've done what you need to do.
03:01That was weird.
03:03You tired of fighting some of it?
03:04No, it's nothing.
03:05You know, Vic, she's either annoyed or being annoying.
03:07No, she's not like that with me.
03:09Must be a you problem.
03:10The defence, asking Gabby to go on to stand.
03:19To pressure you into pulling out?
03:21I can't believe this is happening.
03:23You're not going to call her palms.
03:26It's a tactic.
03:26You've just got to firm it.
03:27There is no firm in it, Cammy.
03:29Cammy finds out, that's it.
03:30She'll stop the adoption, she'll leave me, and then she'll never talk to me again.
03:33You're tripping, man.
03:34She won't.
03:35I just knew it.
03:35I knew something like this was going to happen.
03:37Listen, you've done nothing wrong.
03:40You're the victim here, yeah?
03:41You haven't hurt anyone.
03:43You've got nothing to hide.
03:45Remember, you're doing the right thing.
03:49You're getting justice for you and for everyone else that scumbag hurt.
03:53That's got to be worth it, no?
03:56Come on.
03:58What am I going to do?
04:00You're going to tell Gabby everything.
04:03She'll get it.
04:04She loves you.
04:04It'll be fine.
04:06Trust me.
04:08And then you're going to go to court,
04:09and we're going to take that piece of work down.
04:13Okay.
04:16Okay, Vinnie?
04:17Okay.
04:19Okay.
04:23I thought he'd be up at the farm already.
04:25Did you tell him?
04:27Didn't seem like the right time.
04:29No.
04:29Much better to wait till it all blows up in your face.
04:34It'll be fine.
04:35Just yesterday,
04:36I find out that you're in some secret prison marriage,
04:39and then this morning you're having breakfast with Aaron
04:41as if nothing's going on.
04:42How is that fine?
04:44He invited me for coffee as friends.
04:46What was I supposed to do?
04:47Turn him down?
04:47So you're just not going to tell him?
04:49I know Aaron's been through a lot.
04:51Yes, and he's been constantly lied to.
04:53So we really shouldn't be keeping secrets from him.
04:56Well, it's not like any of this has been easy for me either.
04:58Oh, how come?
05:00Worried you're going to lose out on all that money?
05:01It's not about the money, Vic.
05:03Don't you get it?
05:04He's dying.
05:06A man that I've spent years of my life with.
05:08A man that I care about deeply.
05:09My husband.
05:10He's going to die soon.
05:14I...
05:14I can't get my head round it.
05:18I'm sorry, Robert.
05:20I didn't think.
05:23Kev's...
05:24He's one of a kind.
05:27He'd probably get on.
05:30He just wasn't supposed to end like this.
05:33But still, Aaron deserves to know the truth.
05:36I know, and I'll tell him.
05:37I will, eventually.
05:39I'm going to have to roll this.
05:41When I got my head straight.
05:42I don't know, maybe after the funeral.
05:45He doesn't need to know right now.
05:47And what about Kev?
05:48Are you going to tell him how close you and Aaron really are?
05:51There's nothing to tell.
05:52Me and Aaron, we're just friends.
05:55No, seriously, Vic.
05:56We agreed, friends.
05:58And what would be the point in telling Kev now anyway?
06:00He's got months to live.
06:01He'd destroy him.
06:05You sure you don't want me to come with you?
06:06Nah, it's alright.
06:07Better if I talk to him by myself.
06:09Look, thanks for doing this for me.
06:12Of course, when it's together, alright?
06:14Right, we'll be here in a minute and I'll see you later, yeah?
06:18Yeah, see ya.
06:26Where's the body?
06:28Bree.
06:29I'm usually the one texting you to meet up, so there must be emergency if you're the one hitting me up.
06:34It's about April, alright?
06:36I know you've got a deal in.
06:39I should have guessed she'd tell you.
06:41Those tickets are between you two, eh?
06:43You've got to stop it, alright?
06:45I'm not forcing anything.
06:47It's all her idea.
06:48She'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?
07:02Same here, D-Man.
07:03I want to keep her safe.
07:04I want to keep both of you safe.
07:06But that is why I'm giving her the easy gigs.
07:09There's nothing scary at all.
07:10She'll be fine.
07:11There's still a risk, isn't there?
07:14Listen, is there anyone at home?
07:16Why don't I whip us up some grub and we'll see if we can sort things out?
07:19How does that sound?
07:21Yeah?
07:24Well, you should have all the paperwork you need now for the adoption.
07:29Oh, I thought you sent it through.
07:31Right.
07:32Okay.
07:34Well, um, his passport should be here somewhere.
07:39Um...
07:39Can I just give you a quick call back?
07:49Alright.
07:50Bye, bye, bye.
08:03Have you heard a secret?
08:05Dash of lemon in the batter.
08:07I'm really not.
08:08Sit down.
08:09Makes them fluffy every time.
08:12That's what Mother used to say.
08:14It makes sense that April wants to start dealing, given how much she owes.
08:18Yeah, and I'm hoping to.
08:20You know, making money at the depot.
08:21Well, yeah, and that's good of you, D-Man.
08:24But it's not enough, is it?
08:26I went out of my way to get April this gig, you know, it wasn't easy getting the bosses to listen.
08:34They don't like being asked favors, especially not by kids who've lost their money.
08:40You see, they wanted to teach you both a proper lesson.
08:44And I said, back off.
08:46I convinced them that you were good kids, and that given the chance, you would do the right thing.
08:53I didn't know you did all that.
08:58I told you, D-Man.
09:00I've got your back.
09:03What are brothers for, eh?
09:04The best thing you can do in return is to focus on clearing that debt.
09:10Yeah, and we'll try to pay it off as quick as we can, Ray.
09:15Not if April stops dealing.
09:18Listen, I will have to ask the bosses, and I reckon they're gonna feel like they're being mugged off.
09:23And I know what that looks like when that happens.
09:26So if I end up in hospital, you promise you'll come and visit?
09:28Don't say that, Ray.
09:29Sorry.
09:31Like, I want to protect you both, but I know how bad it can get.
09:36But I can also see how worried you are about April.
09:38Well, can we at least try, then?
09:39Pfft!
09:44Fine.
09:45Fine.
09:46Let's make these pancakes, and I'll give them a call.
09:49Alright?
09:50I'm not making any promises, though.
09:57I know you love flowers, so...
10:00You're not apologising for something?
10:01What? No, I just thought you'd like them.
10:05It's nothing to do with this, then.
10:07Er...
10:08Where did you find that?
10:09In the drawer.
10:10I was looking for your passport for Thomas' adoption papers.
10:14So go on.
10:16Who is Graham Connolly?
10:17What's happened between the two of you, and why are you due in court?
10:19Well, because...
10:20Vinny!
10:21What on earth is going on?
10:23Don't you think you're going on?
10:25I'm sorry...
10:26I'll tell you I got to try...
10:28And why are you under the copyright?
10:29I won't do it.
10:30Yes.
