00:30You've been out on that call forever.
00:42Yeah.
00:45Difficult carving.
00:47I had to drive her in the dark,
00:48and I'm on every headlight behind me.
00:50I was terrified it was right.
00:52Listen to me.
00:52We've got this.
00:53We have got away.
00:54I've accepted an offer on the car.
00:56I mean, seven grand,
00:57but they're going to transfer the money over today,
00:58and I've applied online for a bank loan
00:59to cover the shortfall.
01:01And then what?
01:02I've told you we've got no guarantee
01:03that Ray is going to keep his side of the bargain
01:05and keep away from us.
01:07No, no, no.
01:07He's named his price.
01:08If we don't pay up,
01:09things are only going to get worse.
01:10Us, the kids, we could all end up dead.
01:12Marlon.
01:12I just...
01:13Oh, I'm sorry.
01:13I just want us to feel safe again,
01:16and if getting that money's the only way...
01:19We'll do it.
01:20We'll pay him off by tonight,
01:22I promise.
01:23And then it'll all be over.
01:31So, we're all set for tomorrow.
01:33It's going to be wonderful.
01:35The community coming together
01:36in the spirit of Christmas.
01:38A few carols from Bob.
01:40Alongside a carefully curated selection
01:42of festive bangers.
01:43All we need to do now
01:44is decide whether to channel Michael Bublé
01:46or Tom Jones.
01:48Oh, channel who you want.
01:49It's not going to be anything
01:50anyone's not heard before.
01:51Are we finished, then?
01:52Only I need to pick up my jacket
01:53from the cleaners.
01:54Tinsel up my mic stand.
01:55What, do you even try to analyse that?
01:57I'm already late for prayer group.
01:59Sure, they'll all be persuaded
02:01to buy a ticket.
02:02Which leaves us with a shortfall
02:03of how many?
02:04Have faith in the Lord Nicola.
02:06By tomorrow, I'm confident
02:07I will have sold them all.
02:09See you all bright and early
02:10to set up.
02:15Just don't tell anyone else.
02:18Keep it a secret, right?
02:20I'll call you back.
02:22A secret.
02:25Yeah.
02:26I was just sorting your Christmas present.
02:30You don't have the money
02:31for one of those, Sam.
02:32Come on, don't be lying to me.
02:33What the heck are you up to now?
02:35Thanks, love.
02:45You heard anything yet?
02:46About the loan?
02:47I just had a call from the bank.
02:49They wanted to, um,
02:51clarify a few issues.
02:53Issues?
02:53Just taking everything into consideration.
02:56My credit score's pants,
02:57but they'll give me ten grand.
02:59Well, that's better than nothing.
03:02So, with that
03:03and the seven grand from your car,
03:05we just need to find another three by tonight.
03:08We're stretched to the limit.
03:09Well, maybe we should just give Ray
03:10what we've got
03:11and tell him we'll find the rest
03:12in the next few days.
03:13No, no, the deal was
03:14we're paying the full amount today.
03:15Anything short of that,
03:17we're back to where we started.
03:20I've been going through the books this morning,
03:21the business accounts for the practice.
03:24The business that you run with Paddy
03:26and Vanessa,
03:28the business that's an actual business
03:29and not a personal income stream.
03:31We're owed thousands in unpaid bills, right?
03:33So I thought I could go knocking on doors
03:35and see if anybody will pay up.
03:37I hate this.
03:39I hate what we're having to do
03:40stealing from our friends.
03:41By the time they notice,
03:43I will have paid it all back
03:44and I can explain why.
03:46Marlon, it's either that
03:47or we fail
03:48and that is not an option.
03:51Do you reckon you'll be able
03:52to get her hands on cash today?
03:55Bernard owes us a fortune.
03:56Actually, so does Moira.
03:58You know how tough things have been for her.
04:00Yeah, and if she knew
04:00how tough things have been for us,
04:02Moira would move heaven and earth
04:03to get us what we need.
04:05You're right, Marlon.
04:06We are so close to having
04:08a way out of our lives.
04:09I will get that money,
04:11whatever it takes.
04:16Whipped cream and sprinkles for the kids.
04:19Very festive.
04:20And this one,
04:21definitely adults only.
04:26What have you put in that?
04:27It's taken the roof off my mouth.
04:29That bottle of whiskey
04:29Rodney gave us for Christmas
04:31a few years back.
04:32I thought it might warm the cockles.
04:34Sticking off of it in
04:35and nobody's going to notice
04:37that we're using
04:37the cheapo chocolate powder.
04:39Ah, we can charge double.
04:40Jimmy, you're a genius.
04:44Oliver,
04:45you've got me number one
04:46at Game Keeper
04:47on his last shoot
04:48and he wants to book another.
04:49Get him to ring Kim.
04:51He already has.
04:52She says he can't come back.
04:54So he wants me to do a special
04:56on the cute tea
04:57tomorrow.
04:58Go behind Kim's back?
04:59With what Oliver's offering,
05:02we could finish the rewire,
05:04pay off his debts
05:05and have the biggest turkey
05:06for Christmas ever.
05:08You think a few pounds
05:09is worth risking
05:09our relationship with Kim?
05:12I keep telling you,
05:13we're not their family.
05:14We never have been.
05:16Her and Joe
05:17just make us feel like we are
05:18when it suits them
05:19to keep us working harder.
05:21Even so,
05:23to deceive them like that,
05:25a shoot on their land.
05:26If anyone was to get a whiff,
05:28we'd both lose our jobs.
05:30Joe and Dawn
05:31are going to Edinburgh tonight.
05:33All you've got to do
05:34is get Kim to that Christmas fit
05:35and keep her busy.
05:40I suppose
05:41what they don't know
05:42won't hurt them.
05:44You leave Kim to me.
05:50No charge.
05:52Got lost, Eric.
05:55I tried to catch her first thing,
05:57but it had already gone to work.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Got in early.
06:01I couldn't stand to be
06:02in the same house as you
06:03another second longer.
06:04Kerry.
06:06Just give me a chance, eh?
06:08Do you know what?
06:08I'll pay for me dinner
06:09out of the account
06:10that you set up in my name
06:12that you didn't tell me about.
06:14I tried to explain
06:15what I did
06:16and why I did.
06:18I get it.
06:19I get it, Eric.
06:21It's all for Jacob.
06:22It's not just about the taxes.
06:26I care for him
06:27and I care for Sarah.
06:31They might be made for each other,
06:33but I don't share
06:34his unbridled optimism
06:35for his future.
06:38A trainee doctor
06:39with a newborn baby.
06:41He's going to have
06:42his work cut out.
06:42Yeah.
06:44And a fiancé
06:45who has a terminal condition
06:47and has no idea
06:50how much longer she has.
06:53He can't break
06:54for the pair of them.
06:56I am trying to do
06:57what I can.
06:59Trying to
07:00foolproof his life.
07:02That's why I set up
07:03the account.
07:05You stuck with me
07:07through everything.
07:09I'd like to think
07:10you'd do the same for him.
07:11Grab us a coffee.
07:16Then we'll talk.
07:26Oh, the kids
07:27have been wrapping
07:27Christmas presents
07:28and the rugs
07:29are covered in glitter
07:30and glue
07:31if you could deal
07:31with that first.
07:32I'll grab the white vinegar.
07:34And the en-suites
07:35are all due
07:36thorough deep clean.
07:38Anything else?
07:39Well,
07:40do you fancy a coffee?
07:41Before you start,
07:42I won't expect you
07:43to make the time up.
07:44No, thanks.
07:46Erm,
07:46but I was thinking
07:47about this Christmas fair.
07:49You know,
07:49the one we're organising
07:50for the sick kiddies.
07:51It's a waste of time.
07:53I mean,
07:54you won't make
07:55serious money
07:56by flogging
07:56homemade mince pies
07:58that someone's
07:59fingernails
08:01got baked into them.
08:02You hold
08:03a charity ball,
08:04an auction
08:05with proper prizes.
08:07I suppose you do.
08:08Oh,
08:08and if Nicola
08:09wants yet another
08:10donation
08:11for her
08:11tacky Dombola,
08:13she can go whistle.
08:15It's a raffle,
08:15actually,
08:16and you've already
08:17given us a bottle.
08:18Of my very best,
08:20Pumanti.
08:21Look,
08:21I was hoping,
08:24well,
08:24we all were,
08:25actually,
08:25that you'd put in
08:27an appearance.
08:28We all know
08:29how poorly heaven's been.
08:30Well,
08:31I've already
08:31donated to the hospital.
08:34It's been such
08:35a terrible year
08:36for so many of us.
08:38And you're seen
08:38as a figurehead
08:39in the community.
08:41If you were to turn up,
08:42show your support,
08:43it'd mean so much.
08:46Well,
08:46as
08:47Lady of the Manor,
08:49I was always planning
08:50on doing my duty.
08:53No matter how tedious
08:54it might be,
08:55it'll be a PR win,
08:56if nothing else.
08:57So you'll turn up?
09:00Oh,
09:01I wouldn't miss
09:01this Christmas fair
09:02for the world.
09:12Got to the spooky bit yet?
09:14The ghost for Christmas past.
09:16Yeah,
09:16yeah,
09:16I'm nearly there.
09:19I knew you'd like it.
09:21When you get drawn
09:22into the Dickens universe,
09:23you just,
09:23you know,
09:23lose yourself.
09:24Yeah,
09:25I'm lost,
09:25all right?
09:26You tell me
09:27what you think
09:27about the ending
09:28when I've,
09:28you know,
09:29finished my latest
09:29batch of stolen.
09:36You've been picking up
09:37that book
09:37and putting it down
09:38all morning.
09:39Coffee to Descartes,
09:40please, Nicole.
09:40Bestie for a store
09:41or normal?
09:42Ooh,
09:43first one.
09:44Thanks.
09:45Yeah,
09:45no,
09:45I can't get past
09:46page four.
09:47Of course you can't.
09:48Brain rotted
09:48by social media.
09:50The attention's
09:50kind of a gnat.
09:51She says that
09:52to me all the time.
09:53I take it
09:54as a term
09:54of endearment.
09:55I've just got
09:55better things to do
09:56than read old books
09:57written by dead people.
09:58I'm sure Lewis
10:00will appreciate
10:00your honesty of you.
10:01He asked you to
10:02read it for a reason.
10:04Did he?
10:04What reason?
10:05Let me,
10:05you mind?
10:06Dickens.
10:07Oh,
10:07it's well good,
10:08you know,
10:08I remember we did it
10:09in school.
10:10Okay,
10:10then maybe you can
10:10tell me what happens
10:11then,
10:11because I told Lewis
10:12I'd never finish it.
10:13We can do better
10:14than that,
10:14Mr Ebenezer Scrooge.
10:16Your place,
10:17half an hour,
10:17I'll bring popcorn.
10:23Mum,
10:24you said you'd be here
10:24by twelve.
10:25I've got a job
10:26on this afternoon.
10:27Get yourself back now.
10:29Alright,
10:29finish it down the cellar?
10:30That's where your mother
10:31keeps the woffers
10:31and tweeters.
10:33Sound system,
10:33yeah,
10:34help yourself.
10:35Mum.
10:36Hey.
10:38How's your motor?
10:39Er,
10:40Ken told Mum
10:40you'd had a bit of a bump.
10:41Oh,
10:42it's all good.
10:43At least it will be.
10:44Nobody got hurt,
10:45that's the main thing,
10:46isn't it?
10:46And Marlon's dealing
10:47with it,
10:48so once he's done that,
10:49we'll never mention it again.
10:51Good with me.
10:52Oh,
10:52it's good that you can
10:53keep it between the pair of you.
10:54You know,
10:54stay friends.
10:57What are you after,
10:58then?
10:58Fillet steak and chips?
10:59Same here,
11:00thank you.
11:01Two specials,
11:01right.
11:05You've not asked
11:05to Marlon
11:05when it cooked?
11:07Er,
11:08sorry,
11:08how do you want
11:08your steaks cooked?
11:09Bloody.
11:10Marlon,

11:18Well,
11:19it's nice to chat,

11:24we'll have it
11:25by the end of the day.
11:26Okay,
11:26nice work,
11:27but next time,
11:28not in front of the lady.
11:31Because we
11:31are strictly
11:32business.
11:33She,
11:33she is strictly
11:36pleasure.
11:37You got it?
11:40Hmm.
11:40Yeah,
11:56I appreciate
11:57that you normally
11:58settle up
11:58at the end
11:58of the month,
11:59Bernard,
11:59but,
11:59please,
12:00all,
12:01they're
12:06in front of the day.
12:06Hey.
12:07Oh,
12:07hi.
12:08I wasn't expecting
12:08to see you today.
12:09Have you got a minute?
12:10Yeah,
12:11is everything okay?
12:12Yeah,
12:12not really.
12:13Ah,
12:13well,
12:14I'll put the kettle on.
12:14No need.
12:15I can't really stop that long.
12:16Um,
12:17I'm sorry to have to ask you this,
12:18but,
12:18er,
12:19your account with us,
12:20there is an outstanding balance.
12:22Yeah,
12:23I know that.
12:23And I spoke to Paddy last week
12:25and he said we can wait
12:25until I get the cash
12:26for the bullocks
12:27that I'm sending to auction.
12:28Right,
12:28I'm afraid circumstances
12:29have changed
12:30since he told you that,
12:31so if you could possibly
12:33settle up sooner.
12:34Er,
12:34yeah,
12:35sure I can.
12:36The auction starts
12:37in a week's time.
12:38Right,
12:39sooner,
12:40as in,
12:40today.
12:42Oh.
12:43Erm,
12:44that's quite a few thousand pounds.
12:47How do you expect me
12:48to get my hands
12:48on that kind of money?
12:49Well,
12:49with all due respect,
12:50Moira,
12:50we have done the work,
12:51provided the service.
12:54Runa,
12:54you know the pressures
12:55I've been under.
12:56Every farmer's the same.
12:58But,
13:00I've got another
13:0021 days to pay.
13:02It's all there
13:02and black and white
13:03on your latest statement.
13:04You owe us a little
13:05over three thousand pounds,
13:06Moira.
13:06I'm sorry,
13:07I'm sorry,
13:07I just,
13:07I really need that money.
13:10Why?
13:11What's wrong?
13:12Just,
13:13money's a bit tight
13:14right now,
13:15you know?
13:15I was hoping
13:16that if I got some
13:17of my clients
13:17to pay early,
13:18we could have a payout
13:19before the end of the year.
13:21Okay,
13:21well,
13:22me and Cain,
13:23we can talk to the family.
13:24You're not on your own.
13:25No,
13:25no,
13:25sorry,
13:25just,
13:26forget I said anything.
13:27Forget I even asked.
13:28Okay,
13:28sorry.
13:38You're such a generous soul,
13:40you know,
13:40making amends with Marlon.
13:42I mean,
13:42the last thing he needs
13:43is a fight
13:44with an insurance company.
13:46There's no need
13:46to put a mate through that.
13:47And he's been through
13:48so much with April
13:49and now Dylan.
13:51Any news from the hospital?
13:55No.
13:56I heard Dylan's
13:58in a induced coma.
13:59Oh,
13:59such a terrible business.
14:01How's April coping?
14:03Pretty much
14:04as you'd expect.
14:06Oh,
14:06yeah,
14:06so we've got a medium
14:07for you,
14:08rare for you.
14:09Oh,
14:09no,
14:09Marlon,
14:10it's the other way round.
14:11Oh,
14:11sorry.
14:12Oh,
14:13sorry.
14:14You okay,
14:15mate?
14:15I'll get you
14:17some more coloury.
14:19Marlon?
14:20You should try
14:20taking things
14:21a bit easier.
14:23I'll bear that in mind.
14:25Enjoy.
14:28Oh,

14:56his idea.
14:57He wanted to know
14:57what happened!
14:58Well,
14:58couldn't he just read
14:59the book I lent him?
15:00Yeah,
15:00well,
15:00I give it a go.
15:01It's just,
15:01you know,
15:01like,
15:02books and old stories,
15:03history.
15:03It's,
15:04it's not my thing.
15:05What,
15:05and you think
15:06Die Hard's my thing?
15:07Whoa!
15:08Louis,

15:09What's not to like?
15:10I just didn't want you to think
15:11it didn't matter to me
15:11what matters to you.
15:12Yeah,
15:13and the book and the film
15:14are the same,
15:14right?
15:16Yeah,
15:16well,
15:16I get you didn't want
15:17to let me down,
15:17but,
15:18if you didn't want to
15:19read the book,
15:19you could have just told me.
15:26Sorry,
15:26mate,
15:27I didn't realise
15:27it was such a big deal.
15:29Yeah,
15:29well,
15:29it's not.
15:30Alright?
15:30Dottie can hardly
15:34contain herself,
15:35you know,
15:35it's all about
15:36Elf on the Shelf
15:37and has she been
15:38good enough
15:38for a proper present?
15:40And what about you?
15:42What about me?
15:43Nice
15:44or naughty
15:45or both?
15:48Oh,
15:49them two should get a room.
15:51Yeah,
15:51they should.
15:52Rooms
15:53in separate countries.
15:55It would be nice
15:55to have someone
15:56to treat this Christmas
15:57as well as Mum,
15:58because I've come
15:58into a bit of cash
15:59and it'll be the first
16:00time in a long time
16:01I've been able
16:02to splash out.
16:03Oh,
16:03you're such a thoughtful son,
16:05you know that,
16:05don't you?
16:08Kills me
16:09seeing them together.
16:10Yeah,
16:11you know there's nothing
16:11we can do,
16:12not yet.
16:14It's Moira paid up.
16:16Oh,
16:18sword in hand,
16:18should be sorted
16:19by the end of the day.
16:21We're almost there.
16:27I opened that account
16:28fully intending
16:29to make you aware
16:30of what I'd done.
16:33I needed to optimise
16:34my tax status.
16:36I need to be able
16:37to deposit further sums
16:39with a trusted friend.
16:44You have been my rock
16:46these last few months
16:48and I can't tell you
16:49how grateful I am
16:50to have you in my life.
16:52right back at you.
16:55Right?
16:57But there's no need
16:58for all of this
16:58skullduggery.
16:59If you needed help,
17:00you just have to ask.
17:02I have worked hard
17:03all my life,
17:05paid all my dues
17:06and all I need
17:08to do now
17:08is hand over
17:10that legacy.
17:11Will you help me?
17:14Please?
17:15Well,
17:16now that I know
17:16where you're coming from
17:17and you've been
17:18honest with me
17:20100%,
17:22if I were you,
17:24I would go large
17:25or go home.
17:27Oh,
17:29I'm,
17:29what does that
17:30exactly mean?
17:32I'm more than all in.
17:36But I have a plan.
17:40Watch this space.
17:41I've got your text.
17:48Had to break off my date.
17:51Ah.
17:52Your cash,
17:53it's all here.
17:56Nice one.
17:59I knew you had it in you.
18:00So that's it,
18:01yeah?
18:01We're done.
18:02It's all over.
18:03You've got what you wanted,
18:04so please just let us
18:05get on with our lives.
18:07And why would I want
18:08to do that?
18:09Because I've just
18:12handed over 20 grand.
18:14And it will come in
18:15very handy at Christmas.
18:16No, that was the deal.
18:17He asked you
18:18what it would take
18:19to get you out of our lives.
18:21Well, I may have named
18:22a price.
18:23Yeah.
18:24And you may have thought
18:25we had done a deal,
18:26but I don't ever remember
18:27agreeing to your terms.
18:29No, no.
18:30Then I want that back
18:31every penny!
18:32It's a bit late for that.
18:33It's very generous of you.
18:34No, come on, Osh!
18:37Next time,
18:38get it in writing.
18:42I'll be in touch.
18:52She came around.
18:53Upstairs.
18:56Everything's sorted.
18:57I got her to promise
18:58to go to the Christmas fair.
18:59Oh, result.
19:00Yeah, she's only doing it
19:01as a photo opportunity, mind.
19:02You were right.
19:03She doesn't care about
19:04them sick kiddies
19:05or about any of us.
19:06I've told you.
19:08You're not family to her.
19:09You just clean her bogs.
19:10She's had me grovelling
19:11round on the floor
19:12this morning,
19:12cleaning up glitter.
19:14Jo, she's always messing
19:14with me head about me job.
19:16Friends don't do stuff like that.
19:18She's got more money
19:18than she can count
19:19and we need it.
19:20Yeah.
19:21Get the electric sorted
19:22and have an ace Christmas.
19:23And Kim will be
19:24none the wiser.
19:25Okay, technically
19:26it might be a crime,
19:27but it's a victimless one.
19:28Oh, unless you're a pheasant.
19:30So, I can tell Oliver
19:32and his mates we're on.
19:34We're on.
19:36Oh, Sam.
19:38Always lovely to see you.
19:41But I did ask you
19:43to do a thorough check
19:44of the grounds,
19:44make sure we're secure
19:45against poachers.
19:47On it.
19:47Soz.
19:48See you, Lyds.
19:49Oh, and Lydia,
19:51I'm afraid there's
19:52still bits of sellotape
19:53stuck in a sitting room rug.
19:56I'll do that right now.
19:57Oh.
20:03Hey.
20:05Yes, thanks for
20:06confirming the arrangements.
20:09I owe you a case of champagne
20:10at the very least.
20:13Oh, it's going to make
20:15my friend's day tomorrow.
20:18All her dreams
20:19are going to come true.
20:22I should have listened to you.
20:24Why did we even try to engage?
20:26Because we were desperate.
20:28Because paying Ray off
20:29was the only way
20:29we could think of
20:30to keep April from the streets
20:32and our family safe.
20:33I know about where we started.
20:36Or we would be
20:36if I didn't owe the bank
20:37ten grand.
20:38I might as well set that cash on fire.
20:39He's never going to leave us alone.
20:40No.
20:40He's going to come back.
20:41He's going to want more.
20:41What do we do?
20:44I'm sorry you took that money
20:45from the surgery.
20:46Paddy and Vanessa
20:46are going to notice.
20:47How do we even begin
20:48to explain it?
20:53I didn't get that money
20:55from work.
20:55I tried to get the money
20:59off of our clients
20:59but nobody has that kind of cash
21:01this time of year.
21:01What the heck have you done?
21:04I organised a payday loan.
21:06We were out of options.
21:08The clock was ticking.
21:09You took a million percent payday loan.
21:11And you say you pay it back.
21:12When?
21:13Not for a while.
21:14And then how much is it going to be?
21:15We've no way of paying that money back.
21:16The interest is going to keep going up.
21:17We're going to be bankrupt.
21:18I was desperate.
21:19We needed to find the money.
21:22It's the ultimate irony, isn't it?
21:23Isn't it?
21:24We keep paying him and his mum
21:26so they can keep track of our every move.
21:28They can keep us living in fear.
21:29They can force April to do whatever they want.
21:31Whenever they want.
21:33We thought we were doing a deal with the devil.
21:34The devil doesn't even come close.
21:37It's over, Marlon.
21:39We've got nowhere left to go from here.
21:40The city might have taken everything we've ruined.
21:44We've got nowhere left to go from here.
22:14We've got nowhere left to go from here.
22:16The devil doesn't even come close.
22:18We've got nowhere left to go from here.
22:18We've got nowhere left to go from here.
