00:00Yeah, no, we'll take it.
00:29We'll take it. And we'll be with you around three. Is that OK? OK.
00:33All right, ta. Bye, bye.
00:35Um, right, er, the rucksacks are in the wardrobe,
00:39so whilst we're with Dylan, I'm going to need you to pack the car.
00:41We are doing the right thing, aren't we?
00:44Well, then we've got no choice after what that scumbag said to you.
00:47What about Dylan? Marlon, it feels like we're throwing him to the wolves.
00:52I hate that as much as you do. It's destroying me.
00:54To think what he might wake up to if he wakes up.
00:56But what's the alternative?
00:59What's the alternative? We stay here like sitting ducks.
01:03We're going to need to tell April.
01:04But if she finds out what we're doing now, she'll never leave him.
01:09Ready?
01:12Um, listen.
01:16We need to draw a line under yesterday.
01:20Everything will be fine, as long as we follow what we assess.
01:25Agreed?
01:28Dad?
01:30If that's what you think's best.
01:43What are you wearing that for?
01:45Flaming generator's gone off.
01:47Oh, tell me you're joking.
01:48Well, this is working.
01:50Ah, battery.
01:52Talk about trouble comes in threes. Try tens.
02:01Do you reckon Nora will be able to fix it?
02:03It's old. It might not be salvageable, but I don't know what we're going to do if he can't.
02:07Well, Nick's some Lecky off Pallard.
02:10Pfft.
02:13Voicemail.
02:14Naturally.
02:15Let me know when you get through to him.
02:17Oh, save me a knock.
02:22I'm in a rush, but if you want to have a word with Sam, you can do so in private.
02:26You good at that?
02:28Oh, er, fetching. That was a warm welcome, wasn't it?
02:35Ah, she's just having a may. Flaming Lecky's gone again, in the middle of me shower.
02:40You shower? Joking.
02:42Anyway, small talk over. I have a job for you.
02:45Erm, so, if you wouldn't mind slipping into something a little bit less comfortable.
02:48Oh, I would, but it's me day off.
02:51What's your day off? There's a dry stone wall, needs doing, and it's got your name on it.
02:54Can it not wait till tomorrow? I've got this place to fix.
02:58I'm afraid not. It's, er, next to Ice's stables, which makes it a national emergency.
03:03If that horse got out.
03:05Look, I don't want to let you down after everything you've done.
03:09Then don't.
03:11Ah, jealous. I could do with a break.
03:23Sorry?
03:24The bags. Are you going anywhere nice?
03:26Oh, I wish. Just a charity shop, having a clear out.
03:32I couldn't ask you a cheeky favour, could I?
03:34We've got a Frisian we've fought right and Paddy didn't get round to it yesterday and the smell...
03:38Can you not see that I'm busy?
03:39I'm sorry, it's just, it's...
03:41Ness is in. She'll squeeze you in.
03:44Sure.
03:45Look, I don't mean to be funny.
03:46Erm, just, I could do with a day without animals.
03:50Yeah, I get it. Where's that from?
03:53Yeah, miniature poodle.
03:54You need danger, one of you.
03:56Whoa! All right, mate.
03:58Speed on him, do you see that?
03:59You need eyes in the back of your head round here.
04:01Yeah.
04:03Every year, some bloke's about the same rubbish.
04:17Well, yeah, because it's set at Christmas, so how is it not a Christmas film?
04:19Right, so Gremlins is a Christmas film, hmm?
04:22Batman Returns.
04:23Er...
04:24Iron Man 3.
04:24Well, yeah, I suppose.
04:27I can't even believe your own argument.
04:29Look, right, it's just, they're different, OK?
04:32Cos, you know, Die Hard is a classic.
04:34Home Alone is a classic.
04:35Lewis, what's better? Die Hard or Home Alone?
04:39I've never seen them, or Gremlins, or what else you're talking about.
04:43You've seen none of them?
04:45No, you know, I like musicals.
04:48OK, so, erm, so what's your favourite film?
04:51Where There's No Singing.
04:55Erm...
04:57A Christmas Carol, but the classic with Alec Guinness.
05:01Now, there's a film. You've got taste.
05:03And the book's even better.
05:04I read it every Christmas.
05:08Lydia, this Christmas fair, I was thinking,
05:11instead of Santa, maybe we should get a honk in a vest.
05:14You what? Well, apparently it's festive.
05:16It's still a Christmas film, all right?
05:17It's very not the toilet.
05:18I won't ask, but I will ask how many tickets you've sold.
05:21Claudette.
05:23Why asking me? You're the one selling tickets.
05:26No, I'm doing food, you know, this being a cafe.
05:28We agreed this weeks ago, we were all selling tickets.
05:31But she put me on games.
05:32She never mentioned anything about tickets.
05:35Well, how are the games coming along, then?
05:36Well, that's what I was wondering.
05:38She still hasn't told me what they are.
05:39What are you talking about?
05:40I haven't told you.
05:40You're supposed to come up with them.
05:43Well, you never mentioned anything about...
05:44Pals?
05:45You know, when you make a brew, do you need telling to boil the water?
05:50Right, so we've got a Christmas fair in three days.
05:52We've got no tickets, we've got no games.
05:54Brilliant.
05:56Well, it looks like someone's going to have to take charge here, doesn't it?
05:58And it looks like that someone is mugging for you.
06:06I'm really sorry for Vanessa being on her own again.
06:09Do you think Rona might be able to cover some shifts while I'm camping out here?
06:13I can ask.
06:17You all right?
06:19Sure, yeah.
06:20It's just that you had to rush off yesterday and you didn't save yourself.
06:25I'm worried, that's all.
06:28Dylan, you know, it's shaking him.
06:30Yeah, it's shaking us all.
06:32But we'll get through it, together.
06:36Better ring Randy.
06:42I need you as much as I did that first night on the streets.
06:49I swore to Bex that I would look after you and I let you both down.
06:55You've let no one down, love.
06:56I made a promise.
07:03And now I've got to make that right.
07:07So I'm going to be here, every day, by your side until you wake up.
07:12We should be going.
07:17I'll get the bus home, let's...
07:19Sweetheart.
07:19I'm not leaving him, Dad.
07:23He'll get there.
07:25He'll make it.
07:25How can you be so sure?
07:27The doctor said we need to prepare for the work.
07:28Because he's the toughest kid I know.
07:31He's bounced back from everything that life's thrown at him.
07:33I mean, do it again, I can feel it.
07:35But, darling, the doctor's doing his rounds.
07:39Roma's piled soap, she's got Ivy and Leo in the car.
07:41You'll just be in the way of here.
07:50I'll be back soon.
07:52I promise.
08:05How does it even work out?
08:10What's that five-pounder needle?
08:12People who leave it late cannot afford to be choosy.
08:16It's not that late.
08:17Might as well put a coffin in your living room.
08:20Oh, it's not that flaring door welcome again.
08:25That nerve.
08:26Oh, let me guess.
08:27Monty's done another whoopsie on you.
08:30Is that Sam?
08:31What the hell's he doing?
08:32He's supposed to be a friend of mine.
08:34And there he is stealing my electricity.
08:39They're desperate, aren't they?
08:42That is no excuse.
08:43I'm surprised they haven't done it before now.
08:45They have.
08:47Well, this time I'll call the police.
08:49Oh, Eric, oh hey man, it's Christmas.
08:54Why don't we have some fun instead?
09:00I'm going to bring my speaker in there.
09:02It's far too quiet in that room.
09:04You know how people are scared of the dark?
09:06Dylan's like that but with Sam.
09:12Hiya.
09:16Is Leo's tummy playing up again?
09:21What?
09:21I'm sorry, sweetheart.
09:27No, no, no, you can't.
09:29What are you doing?
09:30We can't be here.
09:30But Dylan, they'll kill him, you know they will.
09:33I have to put you first in my daughter, keeping you safe.
09:36That's my number one job.
09:37We are not leaving him!
09:49Gary, the box were open.
09:54I reckon someone must have been trying to steal.
09:55Eric's lucky?
09:57What?
09:58Yeah, I heard noises.
10:00It's a good job I've ever heard around.
10:02I wonder if this is what's caused the fire?
10:06Fire?
10:08With the tepo.
10:10Have you not heard?
10:11And power cut as well.
10:13Half of Main Street's out.
10:14Oh, no.
10:16Sam, you've heard about Kim, haven't you?
10:22What about it?
10:25She's dead.
10:27Apparently she was in the salon having a blow-dry and she lit up like a Christmas tree.
10:33You're having me on.
10:36Yes, I am.
10:37And it's a good job for you, isn't it?
10:40I'm just going to borrow it for a few days.
10:43He's not happy.
10:44You should see his face is like an angry little tomato.
10:48Pollard?
10:48He knows?
10:50Mm-hmm.
10:50He'll be in watching you the whole time.
10:54He's not going to call police, is he?
10:56I can't get locked up.
10:57We can't afford it.
11:01Go on, get yourself away.
11:03Hurry up.
11:14He's in hospital, he's safe.
11:18What, where anyone can get to him?
11:20What, if it was me laying there, would you still be staying the same?
11:23Why are you doing this?
11:39No, we're not arguing, love.
11:41There's nothing to worry about.
11:42You put your headphones back on.
11:44If we stay where they can get to us, it won't just be Dylan in that hospital.
11:48It'll be you or me or runner.
11:49Leo, it's not what you want.
11:51We have to go somewhere where no one can find us.
11:54And what about Gran?
11:54Have you thought about her in all of this?
11:57They wouldn't.
11:57Hurt her?
11:58Yeah, of course they would.
11:59They'll do anything to get to anybody they want.
12:01You know that, because that's why we're running.
12:02Marlon.
12:03We'll call her when we get to the B&B.
12:04Come on, we're going.
12:05This is insane.
12:10No, no, we can't move him.
12:11Stop driving.
12:12Stop.
12:14What's he playing at?
12:20That's the kid from the village on the bike.
12:27What's in the boot?
12:48Don't tell me.
12:50Three rucksacks and a red holder.
12:54Am I right?
12:55Am I right?
12:56You see, I have eyes and ears all over.
13:03Listen, Rick, it was stupid, but they're new to this.
13:07And I promise it will not happen again.
13:08And from now on, we will do everything that you say.
13:12Good.
13:13And, um, honestly, I will make them fall into line.
13:17And I'll be back to work for you whenever you want.
13:21Well, that was never in doubt.
13:22Now, if you're planning a little holiday, then all I would ask is that you run it past me first.
13:30Who knows?
13:31I might be able to put you up somewhere.
13:33I hear that Newcastle is really nice this time of year.
13:36Isn't it, April?
13:38No, Mum!
13:41Now, why don't I and my little cavalcade escort you back to the village?
13:48Save on any accidents, yeah?
13:50Nice headphones, little man.
13:52Hey, up.
14:05Hey, up.
14:05Right.
14:06Is that going about?
14:07Oh, you've just missed him, mate.
14:09Everything all right?
14:11Not really.
14:12Generator's jacked in.
14:13Oh, mate.
14:15It's me day off.
14:16I should be at home sorting stuff, but Joe wants me dry stone flaming walley.
14:20What?
14:21You're a gamekeeper.
14:22You're not trained to do that.
14:23Besides, it's back-breaking.
14:25I shouldn't be moaning, but it's a two-man job.
14:27What, you doing it on your own?
14:28Joe, he is taking the mick.
14:32Hey, he's on to a good thing to you.
14:34You should clone yourself and come and work up here.
14:37Mum would have your heartbeat.
14:40Really?
14:40Yeah.
14:43Well, I'm never going to get this finished in a day.
14:45Well, look, don't.
14:46If he wants it doing, he can pay for it, Sam.
14:48Celia's got workers.
14:49Point him in her direction.
14:51Well, I would.
14:52No, no, no, Sam.
14:53Either you make a stand now,
14:54or you're giving him permission to walk all over you.
14:58I handled it all wrong.
15:07I thought I'd...
15:08I just...
15:08I thought...
15:10That you could save us.
15:14That we could all just disappear into the night.
15:18If only.
15:21It's never going to happen.
15:28I love you, Dad.
15:34And...
15:36And I hate that I have brought all of this into our lives, but...
15:42There really is nowhere to be a hero in all of this.
15:51Joe.
15:52I can't do it.
15:54The wall.
15:56I can't do it.
15:58Is that why you haven't even started it yet?
16:00Aye?
16:01Yeah, I know.
16:01I came to check on you.
16:02To say that I am disappointed is a bit of an understatement.
16:06There's no point in starting it, because I'm never going to get it finished.
16:09It's a two-man job, minimum.
16:11Or one person repaying a favour.
16:14But I don't want to break me back doing it.
16:16You're just going to have to get someone else out to help me.
16:18What if I could, had I not blown the budget giving an advance to one of my employees?
16:24Budget?
16:26You're shopping for a new car.
16:28It's probably worth more than my house.
16:30I know when someone's trying it on.
16:32Okay.
16:33Why don't we just rewind?
16:35Do this again.
16:37I want that wall.
16:38Finished.
16:39By the end of the day.
16:41No!
16:42I've told you, it's not happening!
16:44People like Ray and Celia, you do not escape them.
16:50And they won't listen to reason.
16:51She's right.
16:53The only way that this will ever end is if we stick together, all of us.
17:00And as long as I do everything that Ray asks.
17:04And if he asks you to sleep with another sleazeball...
17:06You think he enjoyed clearing up a murder?
17:10No.
17:11All I'll need to do...
17:14...is do everything that Ray asks until he decides that the debt's cleared.
17:19And then we'll be free.
17:19Yes.
17:21And in the meantime, you keep swimming in that sewer with perverts and drug addicts.
17:25Do you think I can let you do that?
17:27What other option have we got?
17:30We've tried it your way.
17:31Like I said, I know these people.
17:35All they care about is money.
17:40Right, I'm doing stolen, gingerbread, tiffin and mince pies.
17:44And I've sold ten tickets.
17:47It's a start.
17:48Which we need to ramp up.
17:49Prompto.
17:50It's a good job we don't have to fork out for a singer.
17:52Oh, you got someone?
17:53Bob's dusting off his lame jacket.
17:55Bell's bells.
17:56Is that the best we can do?
17:57No, it's the best I can do, considering I'm shoulding most of this.
18:00Right, I'm going to do a ticket drop at the Wally,
18:02but I want anyone who comes into this cafe to put their hands in their pockets.
18:05Comprende?
18:07I understand English perfectly well, thank you,
18:09so I don't know what all that flourish was about.
18:16Can I interest you in a ticket for the Christmas Feb?
18:19Maybe later.
18:20It's for a good cause.
18:22I'm a bit low on funds.
18:25Paddy.
18:27Oh, I'm not really feeling very festive, to be honest.
18:29No, of course not.
18:31What was I thinking?
18:32How is the lad doing?
18:34No change.
18:35Sorry, I'm going to get to the hospital.
18:36Of course.
18:38Give him my love.
18:40I still can't believe you haven't seen Dayard.
18:41Are you still banging on about that?
18:43Well, I can't believe you haven't read A Christmas Carol.
18:45Yeah, that's a real shocker.
18:47Do you actually, like, read it every year?
18:49Without fail, it's like, you know, putting up the tree.
18:51So how many times have you, you know...
18:53Fourteen.
18:54Wow, just wow.
18:57Tell you what, this year I'll do you a deal.
18:58Right, I will read A Christmas Carol and you can watch Dayard with me.
19:02Sure, yeah, I'm up for that.
19:04Because you seriously have been missing out.
19:06Hey, you're the one missing out, mate.
19:07Bruce Willis on all fours, you will love it.
19:09Oh, no, sorry, when I meant all fours, I didn't mean, you know...
19:14It's fine, I've seen the clips.
19:17I know what you meant.
19:23What?
19:24Fancy snuggling up on the sofa, do we?
19:26Oh, don't be daft.
19:27Then why are you blushing?
19:29Because of what I just, I just said, you know...
19:31Sure.
19:33Sure.
19:40I gave you one simple task.
19:42It's back-breaking.
19:44You want to try it in your fancy suit.
19:45No, it's not my role.
19:47Yeah.
19:47Because you probably struggle picking up a piece of toast.
19:50Okay, let me remind you who you are speaking to.
19:53I saved you, all right?
19:54I saved you.
19:55Have you any idea the charges you would have faced
19:58about that whole Christmas tree fiasco if it weren't for me?
20:02And I'm grateful for that.
20:04Most people wouldn't have even let you back on their land,
20:07let alone keep your job.
20:10We're supposed to be mates.
20:11Why do you always make out like you're better than me?
20:13Yeah, because maybe I am.
20:16At spotting scams, at least.
20:18I mean, for goodness sake, if you're going to buy Jason Donovan tickets,
20:21at least make sure that it's from a reputable website.
20:25Right.
20:27At least I don't go around breaking families up.
20:31Careful.
20:33You do not want to make an enemy of me, Sam.
20:34Or what?
20:36You'll nick my kidney and all.
20:37You are skating on ridiculously thin ice right now.
20:40Thinner than the ice Ermie fell through.
20:42Right, no, that is it.
20:43No, no, don't bother sacking me.
20:46Again.
20:47Because I quit.
20:48Pathetic.
21:00What kind of man can't even protect his own kids?
21:02This is not about being a man.
21:07No.
21:10I'm not letting this happen.
21:11She's never going back to dealing for that filth.
21:14So what are we going to do?
21:17I listened to everything she told us.
21:24I think I get what they are now.
21:25She's right what she said.
21:28The only thing that scum care about is money.
21:29We've tried the police.
21:30We've tried running.
21:31There's only one thing left.
21:34We pay off April's debt.
21:36With what?
21:37I don't know.
21:38But however much it takes, we pay them.
21:42Even if that takes every penny we've got.
21:44The 1% Club rollover starts tonight with up to £500,000 could be won this week,
21:56as both the prize pot and the contestants can roll over to the next show.
21:59Don't miss it.
22:14That way.
22:18Where do you think?
22:19Don't miss it.
