00:30You've been out on that call forever.
00:42Yeah.
00:45Difficult carving.
00:47I had to drive there 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've got a way out.
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...
01:13I'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, I 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 in the spirit of Christmas.
01:38A few carols from Bob.
01:40Alongside a carefully curated selection of festive bangers.
01:43All we need to do now is decide whether to channel Michael Bublé
01:46or Tom Jones.
01:48Oh, channel who you want.
01:49It's not going to be anything anyone's not heard before.
01:51Are we finished then?
01:52Only I need to pick up my jacket from 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 to buy a ticket.
02:02Which leaves us with a shortfall of how many?
02:04Have faith in the Lord Nicola.
02:06By tomorrow, I'm confident I will have sold them all.
02:09See you all bright and early to set up.
02:15Just don't tell anyone else.
02:18Keep it a secret, right?
02:19Hey, I'll call you back.
02:23A secret?
02:25Yeah.
02:26I was just sorting your Christmas present.
02:30You don't have the money for 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?
02:47Just had a call from the bank.
02:49They wanted to, um...
02:50Clarify a few issues.
02:53Issues?
02:53Just taking everything into consideration.
02:56My credit score's pants, but they'll...
02:58They'll give me ten grand.
02:59Well, that's better than nothing.
03:02So, with that and the seven grand from your car, we just need to find another three by tonight.
03:08We're stretched to the limit.
03:09Well, maybe we should just give Ray what we've got and tell him we'll find the rest in the next few days.
03:13No, no, the deal was, we're paying the full amount today.
03:15Anything short of that, we'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 and Vanessa.
03:28The business that's an actual business and not a personal income stream.
03:31We're owed thousands in unpaid bills, right?
03:33So I thought I could go knocking on doors and see if anybody will pay up.
03:37I hate this.
03:39I hate what we're having to do, stealing from our friends.
03:41By the time they notice, I will have paid it all back.
03:44And I can explain why.
03:46Marlon, it's either that or we fail, and that is not an option.
03:51Do you reckon you'll be able to 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 how tough things have been for us,
04:02Moira would move heaven and earth to get us what we need.
04:05You're right, Marlon.
04:06We are so close to having a way out of our lives.
04:09I will get that money, whatever it takes.
04:16Whipped cream and sprinkles for the kids.
04:19Very festive.
04:20And this one, definitely adults only.
04:24Oh!
04:26Well, where have you put in that?
04:27It's taken the roof off my mouth.
04:29That bottle of whiskey Rodney gave us for Christmas a few years back.
04:32I thought it might warm the cockles.
04:34It's sticking off of it in, and nobody's going to notice that we're using the cheapo chocolate powder.
04:39Ah, we can charge double.
04:40Jimmy, you're a genius.
04:41Oliver, you've got me number one, a gamekeeper on his last shoot, and 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 on the cute tea tomorrow.
04:58Go behind Kim's back?
05:00With what Oliver's offering, we could finish the rewire, pay off his debts, and have the biggest turkey for Christmas ever.
05:07You think a few pounds is worth risking our relationship with Kim?
05:12I keep telling you, we're not their family.
05:14We never have been.
05:16Her and Jo just make us feel like we are, when it suits them, to keep us working hardy.
05:21Even so, to deceive them like that, a shoot on their land.
05:26If anyone was to get a whiff, we'd both lose our jobs.
05:30Jo and Dawn are going to Edinburgh tonight.
05:32All you've got to do is get Kim to that Christmas fit and keep her busy.
05:40I suppose what they don't know won't hurt them.
05:44You leave Kim to me.
05:50No charge.
05:52Got lost, I reckon.
05:55I tried to catch her first thing, but it had already gone to work.
05:59Yeah, got in early. I couldn't stand to be in the same house as you another second longer.
06:04Kerry, just give me a chance, eh?
06:08Do you know what? I'll pay for me dinner out of the account that you set up in my name that you didn't tell me about.
06:14I tried to explain what I did and why I did.
06:18I get it. I get it, Eric.
06:21It's all for Jacob.
06:23It's not just about the taxes.
06:26I care for him and I care for Sarah.
06:29They might be made for each other, but I don't share his unbridled optimism for his future.
06:38A trainee doctor with a newborn baby.
06:41He's going to have his work cut out.
06:43Yeah.
06:44And a fiancé who has a terminal condition and has no idea how much longer she has.
06:52He can't break for the pair of them.
06:56I am trying to do what I can.
06:59Trying to foolproof his life.
07:02That's why I set up the account.
07:06You've stuck with me through everything.
07:09I'd like to think you'd do the same for him.
07:11Grab us a coffee.
07:16Then we'll talk.
07:17Oh, the kids have been wrapping Christmas presents and the rugs are covered in glitter and glue, if you could deal with that first.
07:32I'll grab the white vinegar.
07:34And the en-suites are all due a thorough deep clean.
07:38Anything else?
07:39Well, do you fancy a coffee before you start?
07:42I won't expect you to make the time up.
07:44No, thanks.
07:46But I was thinking about this Christmas fair.
07:49You know, the one we're organising for the sick kiddies.
07:51It's a waste of time.
07:54I mean, you won't make serious money by flogging homemade mince pies that someone's fingernails got baked into them.
08:02You hold a charity ball.
08:04An auction with proper prices.
08:07I suppose you do.
08:08Oh, and if Nicola wants yet another donation for her tacky Dombola, she can go whistle.
08:15It's a raffle, actually.
08:16And you've already given us a bottle.
08:18Of my very best, Pumanti.
08:21Look, I was hoping, well, we all were, actually, that you'd put in an appearance.
08:28We all know how poorly Evan's been.
08:30Well, I've already donated to the hospital.
08:34It's been such a terrible year for so many of us.
08:37And you're seen as a figurehead in the community.
08:41If you were to turn up, show your support, it'd mean so much.
08:45Well, as lady of the manor, I was always planning on doing my duty.
08:51No matter how tedious it might be, it'll be a PR win, if nothing else.
08:57So you'll turn up?
09:00Oh, I wouldn't miss this Christmas fair for the world.
09:03Got to the spooky bit yet?
09:14The ghost for Christmas past.
09:16Yeah, yeah, I'm nearly there.
09:19I knew you'd like it.
09:21When you get drawn into the Dickens universe, you just, you know, lose yourself.
09:24Yeah, I'm lost, all right?
09:25Well, you can tell me what you think about the ending when I've, you know, finished my latest batch of stolen.
09:36You've been picking up that book and putting it down all morning.
09:39Er, coffee to Descartes, please, Nicole.
09:40Best you've roast or normal?
09:42Ooh, er, first one.
09:44Thanks.
09:45Yeah, no, I can't get past page four.
09:47Of course you can't.
09:48Brain rotted by social media.
09:50Your attention's kind of a gnat.
09:51She says that to me all the time.
09:53I take it as a term of endearment.
09:55No, I've just got better things to do than read old books written by dead people.
09:58Oh, I'm sure Lewis will appreciate your honesty of you.
10:01He asked you to read it for a reason.
10:04Did he?
10:04What reason?
10:05Let me, you mind.
10:06Dickens.
10:07Oh, it's well good, you know, I remember we did it in school.
10:10OK, then maybe you can tell me what happened then, cos I told Lewis I've never finished it.
10:13Er, we can do better than that, Mr Ebeneezer Scrooge.
10:16Your place, half an hour, I'll bring popcorn.
10:23Mum, you said you'd be here by twelve.
10:25I've got a job on this afternoon.
10:27Get yourself back now.
10:29All right, finn up down the cellar?
10:30That's where your mother keeps the woofers and tweeters.
10:33Sound system, yeah, help yourself.
10:36Hey!
10:38How's your motor?
10:39Er, Ken told Mum you'd had a bit of a bump.
10:41Oh, it's all good.
10:43At least it will be.
10:44Nobody got hurt.
10:45That's the main thing, isn't it?
10:46And Marlon's dealing with it, so once he's done that, we'll never mention it again.
10:51Good with me.
10:52Oh, it's good that you can keep it between the pair of you.
10:54You know, stay friends.
10:57What are you after, then?
10:58Fillet steak and chips?
10:59Same here.
11:01Two specials, right.
11:01You've not asked her, Marlon, what it cooked?
11:07Er, sorry.
11:08How do you want your steaks cooked?
11:09Bloody.
11:10Marlon, you know how I like my steak cooked.
11:13Shall we sit by the fire?
11:14Yeah.
11:16Ray, you got a minute?
11:17Well, it's nice to chat, mate, but, er, I'm kind of busy.
11:22Um, your money.
11:24We'll have it by the end of the day.
11:26Okay.
11:26Nice work, but next time, not in front of the lady.
11:30Because we are strictly business.
11:33She.
11:35She is strictly pleasure.
11:37You got it?
11:38Yeah, I appreciate that you normally settle up at the end of the month, Bernard, but, please,
12:00all...
12:01Hey.
12:07Oh, hey.
12:08Wasn't expecting to see you today.
12:09Have you got a minute?
12:10Yeah, is everything okay?
12:12Yeah, not really.
12:13Ah, well, I'll put the kettle on.
12:14No need.
12:15I can't really stop that long.
12:16Um, I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but, er, your account with us, there is an outstanding
12:21balance.
12:22Yeah, I know that.
12:23And I spoke to Paddy last week and he said we can wait until I get the cash for the bullocks
12:27that I'm sending to auction.
12:28Right, I'm afraid circumstances have changed since he told you that, so if you could possibly
12:33settle up sooner.
12:34Er, yeah, sure I can.
12:36The auction starts in a week's time.
12:38Right, sooner, as in today.
12:42Oh.
12:43Er, that's quite a few thousand pounds.
12:47How do you expect me to get my hands on that kind of money?
12:49Well, with all due respect, Moira, we have done the work, provided the service.
12:52Rona, you know the pressures I've been under.
12:56Every farmer's the same.
12:58But I've got another 21 days to pay, it's all there and black and white on your latest
13:04statement.
13:04You owe us a little over three thousand pounds, Moira, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just, I really
13:08need that money.
13:10Why?
13:11What's wrong?
13:13Just money's a bit tight right now, you know?
13:15I was hoping that if I got some of my clients to pay early, we could have a payout before
13:19the end of the year.
13:20OK, well, me and Cain, we can talk to the family, you're not on your own.
13:25No, no, sorry, just, er, forget I said anything.
13:27Forget I even asked, OK, sorry.
13:38You're such a generous soul, you know, making amends with Marlon.
13:42I mean, the last thing he needs is a, is a fight with an insurance company.
13:46There's no need to put a mate through that.
13:47And he's been through so much with April, and now Dylan.
13:53Any news from the hospital?
13:55No.
13:56I heard Dylan's in a, induced coma.
13:59Oh, such a terrible business.
14:01How's April coping?
14:03Pretty much as you'd expect.
14:06Er, yeah, so we've got a medium for you, rare for you.
14:09Oh, no, Marlon, it's the other way round.
14:11Oh, sorry.
14:13Oh, sorry.
14:14You OK, mate?
14:16I'll get you some more cutlery.
14:19Marlon?
14:20You should try taking things a bit easier.
14:23I'll bear that in mind.
14:25Enjoy.
14:28Oh, this looks so nice.
14:29Hello?
14:44Hi.
14:45Hello.
14:47Oh, mate.
14:49What were you watching?
14:50Er, nothing.
14:52Oh, um, I heard the end credits of A Christmas Carol.
14:55Yeah, well, it was, er, his idea.
14:56He wanted to know what happened.
14:58Well, couldn't he just read the book I lent him?
15:00Yeah, well, I give it a go.
15:01It's just, you know, like, books and old stories, history.
15:03It's not my thing.
15:05What, and you think Die Hard's my thing?
15:07Whoa.
15:08Louis, a classic.
15:09What's not to like?
15:10I just didn't want you to think it didn't matter to me what matters to you.
15:12Yeah, and the book and the film are the same, right?
15:15Yeah, well, I get you didn't want to let me down, but if you didn't want to read the book,
15:19you could have just told me.
15:26Sorry, mate.
15:27I didn't realise it was such a big deal.
15:28Yeah, well, it's not.
15:30All right?
15:33Dottie can hardly contain herself, you know.
15:35It's all about elf on the shelf and has she been good enough for a proper present?
15:40And what about you?
15:42What about me?
15:43Nice or naughty or both.
15:48Oh, them two should get a room.
15:51Yeah, they should.
15:52Rooms in separate countries.
15:55It would be nice to have someone to treat this Christmas as well as Mum.
15:58So I've come into a bit of cash and it'll be the first time in a long time I've been able to splash out.
16:03Oh, you're such a thoughtful son, you know that, don't you?
16:08Kills me, seeing them together.
16:10Yeah, and you know there's nothing we can do, not yet.
16:14It's Moira paid up.
16:16Oh.
16:18Sword in hand, should be sorted by the end of the day.
16:21We're almost there.
16:22I opened that account fully intending to make you aware of what I'd done.
16:33I needed to optimise my tax status.
16:36I need to be able to deposit further sums.
16:39With a trusted friend.
16:42You have been my rock these last few months and I can't tell you how grateful I am to have you in my life.
16:53Right back at you.
16:55Right?
16:56But there's no need for all of this skullduggery.
16:59If you needed help, you just have to ask.
17:02I have worked hard all my life.
17:05Paid all my dues.
17:07And all I need to do now is hand over that legacy.
17:11Will you help me?
17:14Please.
17:14Well, now that I know where you're coming from and you've been honest with me, 100%.
17:22If I were you, I would go large or go home.
17:27I'm...
17:28I'm...
17:29What does that exactly mean?
17:32I'm more than all in.
17:36But I have a plan.
17:40Watch this space.
17:41I got your text.
17:48Had to break off my date.
17:51Ah.
17:52Your cash.
17:53It's all here.
17:56Nice one.
17:58Hmm.
17:59I knew you had it in you.
18:00So that's it, yeah?
18:01We're done.
18:02It's all over.
18:03You've got what you wanted, so please just let us get on with our lives.
18:07And why would I want to do that?
18:11Because...
18:11Because I've just handed over 20 grand.
18:14And it will come in very handy at Christmas.
18:16Oh, that was the deal?
18:17He asked you what it would take to get you out of our lives.
18:21Well, I may have named a price.
18:23Yeah.
18:24And you may have thought we had done a deal, but I don't ever remember agreeing to your terms.
18:29No, no.
18:30Then I want that back every penny!
18:32It's a bit late for that.
18:33It's very generous of you.
18:34No, come on, Lodge!
18:37Next time, get it in writing.
18:40I'll be in touch.
18:52Just came around.
18:53Upstairs.
18:56Everything's sorted.
18:57I got her to promise to go to the Christmas fair.
18:59Oh, result.
19:00Yeah, she's only doing it as a photo opportunity, mind.
19:02You were right.
19:03She don't care about them sick kiddies or 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 round on the floor this morning, cleaning up glitter.
19:13Joe, he's always messing with me head about me job.
19:16Friends don't do stuff like that.
19:17She's got more money than she can count, and we need it.
19:20Yeah.
19:21Get the electrics sorted and have an ace Christmas.
19:23And Kim will be none the wiser.
19:25Okay, technically it might be a crime, but it's a victimless one.
19:28Well, unless you're a pheasant.
19:31So, I can tell Oliver and his mates were on.
19:34We're on.
19:36Oh, Sam.
19:38Always lovely to see you.
19:41But I did ask you to do a thorough check of the grounds.
19:44Make sure we're secure against poachers.
19:47On it.
19:47Soz.
19:48See you, Lyds.
19:49Oh, and Lydia, I'm afraid there's still bits of sellotape stuck in a sitting room rug.
19:56I'll do that right now.
19:58Oh.
20:03Hey.
20:05Yes, thanks for confirming the arrangements.
20:09I owe you a case of champagne, at the very least.
20:13Oh, it's going to make my friend's day tomorrow.
20:18All her dreams are going to come true.
20:22I should have listened to you.
20:24Why did we even try to engage?
20:26Because we were desperate.
20:27Because paying Ray off was the only way we could think of to keep April from the streets and our family safe.
20:33I know about where we started.
20:36Or we would be.
20:36If I didn't owe the bank ten grand, I might as well set that cash on fire.
20:39He's never going to leave us alone.
20:40No, no.
20:40He's going to come back.
20:41He's going to want more.
20:41What do we do?
20:42I'm sorry you took that money from the surgery.
20:46Paddy and Vanessa are going to notice.
20:47How do we even begin to explain it?
20:48I didn't get that money from work.
20:55I tried to get the money off of our clients, but nobody has that kind of cash this time of year.
21:01Oh, what the heck have you done?
21:02I 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.
