00:30Ray, look at these. All of these invoices need processing. The money is coming in faster
00:40than we can clean it. The...
00:43I remember your very first girlfriend, Lucy May Martin. Far too inquisitive for a twelfth
00:59year old. I had to stop her coming around. You were so angry you slashed my new leather
01:06boots. I was almost impressed. I gather she's in a psych ward now. Total fruit loop. I always
01:21have your best interests at heart.
01:33Laurel? I forget her. Good. Tell the old man to clean out the turkey shed. We have new stock
01:43arriving this morning. Yes, Mum.
01:53Proper preg or tum growing there. Sure is. I forgot the 20 weeks can today. Can't wait
01:58to see our little baby. Aw, wow. Yeah, Jacob's meeting us there. He is ridiculously excited.
02:03Well, yeah, it's an exciting thing. Aw, I still remember mine. Can we maybe all stop banging
02:08on about it so much? You were in my ear before I even woke up. Well, yeah, cos I wanted you
02:12to have a good breakfast. It's a baby's can. I'm not flying to the moon. Yeah, well, both
02:16seemed just as impossible when we started this, so... Look, will you go and get me a proper
02:19coffee? And none of that decaf stuff. Well, will you try and be happy then? I'm happy.
02:24This is my happy face. What's up? Nothing. Don't you start. So why are you being all moody
02:33about the scan? I'm not. Yes, you are. Proper killjoy, which is a bit mean on Sarah, isn't
02:38it? I've actually got a bit of morning sickness, if you must know. Is that good enough for you?
02:43Mm. Hey, I snagged my hand on the turkey shed. You think I might need a plaster, boss?
02:54That means more than a plaster. Why don't you tell me? I thought I'd just grazed it, but
02:58I wouldn't stop bleeding. It looks deep. It hurts like hell. Well, that'll teach you to be
03:04more careful. Oh, I know. Well, the state of it, you need stitching. Use glue. No, there is
03:12dirt and all sorts in it. It needs proper cleaning. We've been here before. You know
03:17the rules. I am not taking him out to work. Not like that. At the very least, he needs
03:22to rest it. Then what is the point of him? Fix him up so he can work. Just like you did
03:28when he broke his arm in the tractor. You should be an expert by now. Sorry, boss. I didn't
03:37think of course a fuss. If I could just have one of them pain pills, it'd make it right.
03:44I can't ask Billy to look after the kids again. Why not? I'm sure you can. Can you not just
03:51spend some time with me alone in a romantic little cottage? It's not a holiday, Joe.
03:56We've got to go home. Yeah, you're right. I'm sure Kim's calmed down by now. Joe Tate.
04:04You are a man who knows his wine. Well, my home farm seller has stocked with more wine
04:09than I could ever consume in my entire lifetime. Well, you're a collector. That's even better.
04:13I can guarantee that you will not have tried this. Oh, excuse me. I hope you're not, you
04:18know, intending to pet all your wares and hair. No, of course not, Lewis. I'm looking for
04:21high-end establishments. Thought you sold a load to the pub. Anyway, I am doing a wine
04:26tasting later and I would love you both to come. And Kim Tate. She's around. She's an
04:30excellent fit for my brand. Kim, unlikely. I've got work. It's from a boutique
04:37Poulian vineyard. I've had dinner with the Vignaiolo, which is head of the vineyard in
04:41Italian, and he's won competitions. Ah. Primitivo. Not really my thing.
04:50Er, no, if it's to do with turkeys, you won't seal ya. She deals with that side of the business.
05:05Oh, you've tried her already? Er, sorry, how did you get my number?
05:11Why are you hiding out here? Because Sarah's doing my head in. Oh. Don't blame Sarah,
05:20cos you're being a mardy cow. Well, you gonna tell me why? Fine. It's just this stupid scan.
05:31It's not that simple, is it? How do you mean? Well, the baby could have issues, problems,
05:40somewhat genetic, I dunno. Well, it's unlikely, though, cos Sarah and Jacob had their embryo screen,
05:45didn't they? Yeah. Oh, my God, hang on. Unless when you swore to me that this was their baby
05:53and not yours and Mac's... Shh! That you weren't really sure at all?
05:57Of course I'm sure. Did I even mention Mac? Just... It's just normal worries, that's all.
06:03Normal worries? Yes. Look, you know how much this baby means to them. So there's a lot at stake here,
06:09isn't there? Right, so stop getting yourself in a tizzy and go to the scan.
06:21Yeah, but I can guarantee that your regular supplier won't stock this personally curated Boolean vintage.
06:29Yeah. Oh, you got my number?
06:33They're lost. I see these are back. Yeah, it's easier. Otherwise Jay will kick off about the licence again.
06:45Oh, Jay and his licence. So, how's it going? Oh, it's brilliant. I've called every independent bar and restaurant in Hotton.
06:55Good for you. Caleb can't accuse you of not trying. No, he's really into it now. He actually agrees I could turn this into a business.
07:01How stupid do I feel now? Ruby.
07:04I'm going to cancel the wine tasting and the extra cases that I ordered.
07:07Oh, no, no, no. You can't do that. Not now Caleb's behind it. It's amazing.
07:11But no one is buying. I've got rid of three more bottles and two of them were free.
07:16Okay. Where are you going?
07:21You arrange everything here. The wine, the posh glasses, the little balls of nibbles.
07:27Ruby, this is everything you are naturally brilliant at. You are not admitting defeat. Yes?
07:35Hi, it's Laurel. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
07:38Sorted? Not really. Oh, he's milking it. Any excuse to slack off?
07:50Ted's not like that. Oh. Does he remind you of Grandpa? You are becoming attached. It's pathetic.
07:58There's a problem at home. Intruder alert.
08:10Ted? Yes, boss?
08:12When you get to the site, you're going to stay in the van.
08:16Really?
08:17I'm going to tell the others I need you in a different job. I'm going to get to hospital and get that hand stitched up.
08:23Baby, you said we couldn't go to hospital.
08:26Yeah, I did. But we cannot risk that getting infected.
08:30Aye. Er, like, hadn't you?
08:34Yeah. So, leave the talking to me. Yeah?
08:39Now get in the back of the van! Come on!
08:43This is just between us, yeah? One word, and I changed my mind.
08:47Let's go!
08:48You OK?
09:09Yeah. And you've had a drink and a snack cos I've heard that helps get the baby moving.
09:13Yes. And yes. You've asked me about 5,000 times.
09:20Oh, Gran, will you please just chill? Sorry.
09:22I don't even know why I'm so nervous.
09:25This whole pregnancy malarkey is way better organised than it was with any of my four.
09:29Exactly. And we've had the embryo screen, so, well, we've got more security than most parents at the 20 weeks can.
09:35Parents? I love that.
09:38Look, all you've got to do is lie there, and hopefully the baby will be in a good position that we can see everything we need.
09:42Yeah, hopefully. And hopefully there'll be nothing wrong.
09:46There won't be.
09:47Well, you keep saying that, Jacob, but just remember, my womb is older.
09:50Yeah, but the clinic checked you out, said you're in good working order, so...
09:53Yeah, but there's always that chance, isn't there, of one of these anomalies they're looking for.
09:58I know you've had your screening, okay?
10:01But no test is 100% accurate.
10:04That's just a fact.
10:05Is it?
10:06Yeah.
10:07There's errors.
10:08False negatives and positives.
10:10Didn't they tell you this at the clinic?
10:12Not that I remember, no.
10:13Right, well, they should have done.
10:15Let's just prepare for any outcome, okay?
10:18Charity Dingle?
10:19Hey, Ted.
10:20Ted, wake up.
10:21Ted.
10:22Hey.
10:23You okay?
10:24Want some water?
10:25Yeah?
10:26Yeah?
10:27Here.
10:28Ted.
10:29Ted, wake up.
10:30Ted.
10:31Hey.
10:32You okay?
10:33Want some water?
10:34Yeah?
10:35Here.
10:36Ted.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Okay?
10:39Ted.
10:40Yeah.
10:41Hey.
10:42Ted.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Hey.
10:45Hey.
10:46Hey.
10:47Hey.
10:48Hey.
10:49Hey.
10:50Hey.
10:51Hey.
10:52Hey.
10:53Hey.
10:54Hey.
10:55Hey.
10:58Feeling better?
10:59Yeah, thanks, bud.
11:02No.
11:03Ray.
11:05Listen.
11:06We don't want them asking any awkward questions.
11:08Yes.
11:09Remember.
11:12If they find out that this happened at your work, the work that you have no papers for,
11:17then it could be really bad for both of us.
11:20No.
11:21I won't say anything.
11:22It's about work.
11:23So to make it easier, I'm going to say you're my dad.
11:29Your dad?
11:31Yeah.
11:31And I'm your son, and you hurt your hand in the garden, and I brought you in.
11:37Garden?
11:38Yeah.
11:39Right, I'll remember the garden.
11:47Are we in Leeds?
11:49Edward Smith.
11:50Oh, er, yes. That's, er, it's my dad.
11:56Answers to Ted.
11:57Hello, Ted. Been in the wars, have we?
12:00Follow me.
12:04Come on. Ted, yeah?
12:06Let's go.
12:07The baby's really grown. It's more a banana than an avocado now.
12:12What are you measuring there? Sorry, it just seems to be taking a while.
12:15I'm just checking the blood flow in the uterus.
12:18Hey, we want to do this properly. We don't want to rush.
12:21Would you like to know the baby's gender?
12:24In an envelope, please.
12:27Sure, I'll give you that before you go.
12:28It's going to be fine. Don't need to stress.
12:31Done.
12:33Hey.
12:34Yeah, you can sit up now.
12:35So, I'll print off the results so you can see all the centiles, but I've measured the
12:41head, limbs, overall size. Everything's within a perfectly normal range for baby's age.
12:48So that's it then? No red flags?
12:50It's just my cousin's baby, Sarah's aunt.
12:54The baby was born with no kidneys, so...
12:57Bilateral renal agenesis.
13:00We just saw both of them.
13:01I'm sorry for your cousin, but your baby definitely doesn't have that.
13:05And you've checked everything?
13:07Just with being a geriatric pregnancy, you know.
13:10It means that it can affect the development, increase the chances of things going wrong.
13:15Charity.
13:15I know. I'm sorry. I don't mean to stress us all out, but I want to...
13:18I want to cover all bases, okay?
13:20Let's face it, there's millions of conditions.
13:22Which is why I had my own test done.
13:24What?
13:25When we started all this, I wanted to make sure I wasn't carrying anything in my DNA.
13:29And I didn't say anything because all the results were fine.
13:33I'm sorry, I just...
13:34I would have told you if I knew you were freaking out.
13:37So, you've had embryo screening, genetic testing, and this scan is a solid normal.
13:43Is that enough reassurance?
13:44Yeah, sorry.
13:45Hopefully we'll be less stressed once the baby's actually born.
13:49I wish I could tell you that were true.
13:50Welcome to being a parent.
13:54Can I get you any more coffees?
13:56Er, no.
13:58Oh, well, the rule for the school kids is I purchase every hour or you're officially loitering.
14:03Er, can I have a gingerbread latte?
14:07Excellent choice.
14:09It's like we don't have a home to go to.
14:11Surely Kim's settled in now.
14:13Mm.
14:14Is she ever going to forgive me for ice, though?
14:16I mean, the only thing I could have done differently, I could have contacted that specialist horse vet of hers with her peace of mind.
14:22Yeah.
14:23I cared about ice.
14:25It was a lovely horse.
14:27I care about Kim.
14:27I know you do.
14:28It's just...
14:29She's grieving, isn't she?
14:31And she'll be missing my dad.
14:33It's that time of year.
14:35Maybe I should just let her throw any insults my way, be the bigger person.
14:39I should go.
14:41What, now?
14:42Yeah.
14:42Well, I'll try not to regret this coffee order.
14:46See you.
14:47I'll pick up the kids.
14:48I'll see you later.
14:54That's better than your scabby old bandage, isn't it?
14:56Are you prone to accidents, Ted?
14:59Eh?
14:59You've hurt this arm before.
15:01Has he?
15:02Oh, that is another thing he hasn't told me.
15:05I mean, he doesn't look after himself, and, um, well, since Mum died, uh, I do what I can.
15:12Have you broken it?
15:13There's some residual deformity.
15:14Eh, well, I fell in the garden.
15:17Did you go to hospital?
15:18Eh, no, I, um, splintered at me sen.
15:21Oh, Dad.
15:22Really?
15:23Have you had medical training?
15:25Of course he hasn't.
15:26He's just too proud to bother a doctor.
15:29I've told you so many times.
15:32Are there...
15:33Is it pain or problems using it?
15:35I can refer you to the orthopaedic team for an assessment.
15:37No, no, no.
15:37There's no bother.
15:39Yeah, don't worry about it, Doc.
15:40I'll keep a close eye on him.
15:41And you're staying out of that garden until you are completely healed.
15:45You are a liability.
15:47Yes, I'm sorry, son.
15:50I'll get you a force of antibiotics to take home.
15:54Yeah.
15:59I'm gonna do okay.
16:01You did good, Dad.
16:05Seems funny you calling me that.
16:07You should be honoured.
16:08First time I've said it to anyone.
16:09Your mum, your adoptive mum.
16:12Didn't she have a husband?
16:14He had nothing to do with her kids.
16:16Yeah.
16:18Dads aren't everything, are we?
16:21The only reason my lad became so decent was because somebody else brought him up.
16:28Nature or nurture.
16:31Eh?
16:31You get your start in life, but it's how you are raised that makes you.
16:40Celia?
16:44Celia?
16:44It's only me.
17:02Celia?
17:03It's only me.
17:05Celia?
17:25Come in.
17:26Flippin' heck.
17:36Then, what are you doing here?
17:38Is it Kim?
17:40Is she tucking a turn?
17:41No, no, no, no. Kim's fine. She's good, I think.
17:44I haven't actually seen her today yet, so...
17:46Ah, right.
17:48Yeah. Working my way up to it.
17:50Promised Dawn I would, so...
17:52No, instead, I found myself here.
17:54For some reason.
17:57Sam, it's freezing in here.
18:00Oh, yeah, it's a double jumper's minimum. Do you want one?
18:04Er, no. Bracing's good. The cold's good. Yeah.
18:08Right.
18:10You don't think that I'm a bad person, do you?
18:14Eh?
18:15Where's that come from?
18:17Most of the village, I guess.
18:19No, I'm just... I'm just canvassing opinions.
18:23Is it a tricky question?
18:25Yeah, it's unfair of me to put you on the spot. I'm sorry.
18:29I mean, you'd...
18:30You'd have to forget about stealing Caleb's kidney, for starters.
18:34Yeah.
18:35And causing the limo crash.
18:37Yeah, that too.
18:38And then you did sack me twice.
18:41OK. Yeah, I'm going to go.
18:42Well, to be fair, call it once.
18:45I quit the second time.
18:48And with the kidney thing,
18:51you thought that if you didn't do it, you would have gone it, so...
18:55Yeah.
18:56I did.
18:57Yeah, that's exactly right.
18:59Desperate people do desperate things.
19:00You're not on your own, do they?
19:12Tinny?
19:12Two things.
19:40Listen, that's all right.
20:05I wonder if my granddad hadn't, you know, died.
20:10Hmm.
20:12Well, he was a carpenter, master craftsman.
20:15Could make anything till his hips went.
20:19I was gonna be his apprentice.
20:22Is that what you wanted?
20:23Yeah.
20:25Yeah.
20:26That's all I played with growing up.
20:27Big box of offcuts, making them into stuff.
20:30Loved it.
20:32Sounds a good fella.
20:33Yeah, he was.
20:35Firm, too.
20:38Like mum.
20:39My adoptive mum.
20:41But it was different with her.
20:45Well, I'm sure she tried her best.
20:46It can't be easy adopting a child.
20:49It wasn't proper.
20:50I mean, I didn't know that then.
20:52I couldn't offer her.
20:53There was no, you know, social workers or anything.
20:59And now, well, here I am, running her business for her.
21:06I don't know.
21:07Aren't you happy in your work?
21:11If you aren't, you must tell her.
21:14I mean, part of raising a child is to give them their choices.
21:17You know, like your, like your woodwork.
21:21It's a bit late for that.
21:23Well, other things, I mean, you're young.
21:27I mean, if you've got a dream, you've got to follow it.
21:31All right, Dad, I didn't expect a lecture.
21:38I'm overstepping here.
21:40No, you're not.
21:41No, it's good.
21:42It's good.
21:45What if my dream included a lady?
21:50Yeah, same one.
21:51I mean, she's got kids, but their dad has passed away.
21:55So I'm not treading on anyone's toes.
21:59We get on.
22:01Well, you can't fuck kids.
22:03If they like you, they'll show it.
22:05Hmm.
22:07I'm not going to rush it.
22:08Not going to push it.
22:10If I'm to be their new stepdad,
22:12then that's a lifetime's commitment.
22:25Hi, ma'am.
22:29Yeah?
22:30Are you there now?
22:31Is it all sorted?
22:33Yeah, the workers are fine.
22:35The workers are fine.
22:36All right, I've got to go.
22:37I'll see you back at the farm.
22:38Sorry for the delay.
22:39Antibiotics, one, three times a day.
22:41Finish the course.
22:42Yes, you will.
22:43And get checked at your own surgery in a week.
22:45Yeah, thank you, Doctor.
22:46And thank you, son.
22:48You've made an old man very proud.
22:51Another?
22:55No.
22:56No, I can't keep drinking all your beers, Sam.
22:58I feel bad.
22:59Last one, ain't you, Roy?
23:01Yeah.
23:04You know, I didn't kill that horse on purpose.
23:07You know that, right?
23:08Of course.
23:13Kim's one of the only family members I've got left.
23:16I do care about her.
23:19In my own way.
23:21People that think I do, they think I'm duplicitous.
23:25Untrustworthy and money-grabbing, you know.
23:29Gets to you.
23:31Yeah.
23:33Well, I mean, never been called them things, but...
23:38I get sick a lot.
23:41That hurts.
23:43I'm sorry if I ever called you that.
23:46Thanks.
23:48Doesn't matter anyway.
23:51Just...
23:53The curse of being a Tate.
23:54You know?
23:55It's the, er...
23:56It's the legacy.
23:58I knew your dad and your grandad.
24:03Frank, he were horrible.
24:07But your old man wasn't that bad.
24:1099.9% maybe.
24:13What was the 0.1%?
24:14What?
24:17Yeah.
24:18Saved this place.
24:19Stood up to your grandad when we were trying to evict us.
24:22Go Chris.
24:24Your mum were alright though.
24:26My dad always said that.
24:28She would godmother to our bell.
24:30Really?
24:32Didn't know that.
24:34So, we're like related.
24:36Jokes.
24:38Seriously though, if...
24:40If Lisa thought she were good enough for that, then...
24:44She must have had a good heart.
24:46Yeah.
24:48She did.
24:49It's all this, er...
24:51Cursed Tate thing or whatever you were saying.
24:54You took after Rachel and that.
24:59I should go.
25:03Why don't you do what Don says and...
25:05Make your peace with Kim?
25:07Yeah.
25:08Yeah, I will.
25:10Oh, and Sam, this whole deal with your electrics.
25:13Just...
25:14Let me cover any outstanding.
25:15Right?
25:16Call it a Christmas bonus.
25:18Is this a trick?
25:20Gonna get me running round doing your extra hours again.
25:22No, no.
25:23It's...
25:24No catch.
25:25Alright.
25:26Just put the heating on every now and then.
25:28Flippin' heck.
25:29Lydia won't believe it.
25:31Wanna give you a hug?
25:32No.
25:33Come on.
25:34Yeah, okay.
25:38There we are.
25:41Harold.
25:42I'm working.
25:43You're not answering your phone?
25:44I was working then too.
25:45What?
25:46You said we could talk.
25:47I know Mum got in your head.
25:49Whatever she told you, I can guarantee it's lies.
25:53Talk to her, okay?
25:54Because this is between you two.
25:55I have.
25:56And I'm...
25:57I'm really sorry if it got a bit heated yesterday.
25:59But this is exactly why I didn't want you to meet her.
26:02It sounds extreme, I know, but...
26:04It's actually pathetic, you know.
26:05A bloke my age having to make excuses for his mum.
26:10But...
26:11I should have got a handle on it years ago.
26:13Yeah.
26:14Well done.
26:15But this is the first time I felt like I could build a future with someone.
26:19With you.
26:21A family.
26:22I mean, I'm not saying I want babies.
26:24I'm not saying that.
26:25But me, you, Arthur, Dottie.
26:29It's been working, Laurel.
26:30I fear.
26:31You do.
26:32And it has.
26:33But I...
26:34I'm just not interested in a relationship which has complications.
26:37But this...
26:38I need more time.
26:39I'm sorry.
26:43Still looking good there, barman.
26:45Chazzy's day off.
26:46Charities at the hospital.
26:47Nothing amiss, I hope.
26:49Babies can.
26:51A woman carrying a great-grand towel.
26:53Thank God for medical science.
26:56Celia.
26:57Oh, Moira, what are you having?
26:58Er, not right now.
26:59Can we...?
27:02Oh.
27:03Er, yeah.
27:07Er...
27:09Can you...
27:11Explain these to me first?
27:15I only signed off on 200 turkeys, but there are thousands here.
27:18But where did you get these?
27:19One of your clients called me instead of you, so I went up to see you and...
27:23The door was open.
27:25And you normally just walk into other people's homes, do you?
27:28Well, this isn't about me.
27:29Don't try and twist it.
27:31I wish I'd paid you a visit before now.
27:34The state of the place, Celia.
27:35I mean, I was shocked.
27:37Moira, I'm a tenant.
27:38If it isn't pretty enough for you, have a word with Kim.
27:42It's not about looks.
27:43It's filthy.
27:45Dangerous.
27:46And you're producing livestock.
27:47I wasn't away with a health and safety inspectorate.
27:50I don't want to row with you.
27:52Just tell me why my signature's on here.
27:56Erm...
27:57Because you signed them?
27:59No, not for these amounts.
28:00Did you talk to the invoices?
28:02Are you trying to scam me?
28:04Are you trying to skim a load of cash off for yourself?
28:07And where are you even producing these turkeys?
28:09Hey, hey, let me have a look.
28:11No, you know, I...
28:12I let you use my name and my reputation.
28:15And I told you when we went into partnership that I am totally above board.
28:18As am I.
28:19What on earth are you suggesting?
28:21Well, you tell me.
28:22Moira, just give me a chance to inspect these invoices.
28:27You know damn well what this looks like, Celia.
28:29Come on.
28:31Moira, I'm anxious to help.
28:33This is as disturbing for me as it is for you.
28:36Oh, my God.
28:38You are the sharpest, savviest, hardest-nosed woman that I have ever met.
28:42There is nothing that you don't know about.
28:44Apparently there is.
28:46Moira, who exactly called you again?
28:49I can only apologise for the inconvenience.
28:52Stop!
28:53Stop this performance or whatever the hell you're doing
28:55because I'm not buying it for a second.
28:57Moira.
28:59Moira.
29:00Moira.
29:03Maybe your brain tumour is back.
29:05Why don't you go and have a lie down?
29:07I don't know what that looks like.
29:08Come?
29:09Oh, let's go.
29:10No.
29:11Oh!
29:14Oh!
29:18Kim?
29:19Hey!

31:38oh
31:41oh
31:45Claudette, I didn't think you'd come.
31:56Well, you spoke of nothing else and I thought I'd come early to help.
32:00Oh, there's really no need.
32:04You're not expecting us to drink all that?
32:07No, no, that's, um, I've got a storage issue.
32:10Sure. We can use a doily to cover them.
32:13Doily?
32:13You're not expecting Moira and Celia, are you?
32:17I mean, if so, you need to keep them apart.
32:20Honestly, Claudette, I'm not sure anyone else is coming apart from you, but why?
32:25Claudette, come on.
32:27Well, I've just come from the pop.
32:29They were having a set two and Moira slapped her.
32:32What?
32:33Right, we are definitely finishing this later.
32:35Hi.
32:35Dawn, you came.
32:36Yeah, Manpreet dragged me away from my desk.
32:38Uh, there are more people coming and apparently the wine that Bell bought went down really well.
32:45Yeah, we're completely out, actually.
32:47Oh, great.
32:48Well, it's good you've got me on your doorstep then.
32:50Say I was ordering it in.
32:52Do not listen to a word that silly Joe Tate told you.
32:55This wine is the bomb.
32:57Ooh.
32:58Yeah, it is nice.
33:01The woman has taste.
33:03Can you do 70, though?
33:0570 bottles?
33:06Yeah, that's five and a half cases.
33:07I can get them delivered tomorrow.
33:08No, 70 cases.
33:11We've got loads of winter weddings.
33:14I can manage 70 cases.
33:16That is absolutely not a problem.
33:21So, Joe's moving out.
33:23Yep.
33:23That seems a bit drastic.
33:27Not really.
33:29Well, Dawn, she said...
33:31She's not to be trusted either.
33:34Shame.
33:35Because I was so fond of her, too.
33:37Kim.
33:38You know, you're the only one who shows that you care.
33:41Sure, that's not true.
33:43What, so you don't care about me?
33:44Of course I do.
33:46You know that.
33:47Our friendship means everything.
33:49Yeah.
33:50And I feel the same way.
33:53I was thinking,
33:54tomorrow,
33:55why don't we take a drive out?
33:57Find somewhere nice for Ice's ashes.
34:01I could wrap you up warm,
34:02take some camping chairs
34:03and raise a glass to him.
34:06That would be perfect.
34:08Thank you, Lydia.
34:09No-one else has even considered
34:11where poor Ice should rest.
34:13I'm sure Joe would have got round to it eventually.
34:15Why do you keep defending him?
34:17I wish you'd stop assuming
34:18that other people are good, like you.
34:20And don't say that, Kim.
34:24I wasn't going to tell you this.
34:27So as not to spoil our friendship.
34:29Tell me what?
34:31I've left you home farming, my will.
34:35She's got to be scamming me, Kane.
34:37What's for these invoices?
34:39Well, she's supplying way more turkeys
34:40than she ever told me.
34:42What, and she didn't explain it?
34:44Nope.
34:44Yeah, well, that's sus straight away.
34:48At least you had it out there, though.
34:52What?
34:53I slapped her.
34:56Mara, the last time you attacked someone,
34:58you ended up inside a police cell.
35:00I know, I know.
35:00You don't have to make me feel any worse.
35:02Yeah, I'm just saying.
35:03Well, don't.
35:03Do you really have to keep checking up on me?
35:10The scan was fine.
35:12Right.
35:14The sonographer woman said it's all a solid normal,
35:18and Jacob and Sarah got a nice little photo
35:20of their baby, so...
35:22Charity.
35:23Oh, please, Ness, not that voice.
35:24I just want you to be honest.
35:27Look at you.
35:28You're still stressing out.
35:29You can't fool me, remember?
35:31And there's only one good reason for that.
35:33Oh, really?
35:35Did you ever tell the fertility doctor
35:38that you'd had unprotected sex with your husband?
35:40Shut up, Vanessa!
35:41Oh, my God!
35:43What about the dating scan?
35:44That is enough!
35:45How many more times?
35:47You think it's Mac's baby, don't you?
35:49Do you know what?
35:50I'm not going to stand here in my house
35:51and get interrogated by you.
35:52Just go!
35:53Find someone else to hassle.
35:54Oh, charity!
35:55And remind me never to tell you anything again.
36:00Lydia, you don't have to look so horrified.
36:11But I just...
36:12It's really not that outrageous.
36:16There's plenty of money to go round.
36:19My will provides for them all.
36:21Even Joe, who's done very well for himself without my help.
36:25Gabby already has the hide
36:28and I've set up an extremely generous trust
36:31for all the grandkids.
36:32But this place is worth a fortune.
36:35It's a home.
36:37That's its value to me.
36:38More than any money.
36:40No.
36:43I can't accept it.
36:45I'm not asking your permission, Lydia.
36:47You will inherit this house
36:50along with an appropriate annual allowance
36:53to maintain it.
36:55You can do with it what you choose.
36:58But fill it with dingles.
37:00Bring Esther back.
37:03But more than anything,
37:06stop working so hard.
37:08You have no idea of your value, have you?
37:16Then, you're just going to have to trust my judgement.
37:19Because I've never met anyone more deserving.
37:26Why didn't you pick up?
37:28I did.
37:29Not me, you idiot.
37:31One of our turkey suppliers.
37:32You didn't pick up.
37:33They called Moira.
37:34She came round, found the invoices.
37:37What?
37:37Where were you?
37:39You said you would drop off the workers,
37:40come straight back here.
37:42Well, it's not my fault.
37:43Where were you?
37:44I was at the penthouse.
37:45The alarm went off again for no reason.
37:47Spiders.
37:47You want to tell that cleaner to...
37:48Answer the question.
37:49Where were you?
37:50Ah, let me guess.
37:51With the drip.
37:54What did Moira say?
37:55Plenty.
37:57She also slapped me around the face in the pub.
38:00What?
38:02Did you slap her back?
38:03Why would I do that
38:04when she is making my life so easy?
38:07She has a dead body on her land.
38:09Her signature is all over the paperwork.
38:12And now she has assaulted me in front of witnesses.
38:16Rather a juicy narrative emerging, don't you think?
38:19So, we're not worried?
38:21No.
38:21But we are leaving.
38:26What?
38:27I was already thinking
38:28this Dylan and April business
38:30is getting far too messy for my tastes.
38:33But the money was coming in, so...
38:35Mum, it still is.
38:36Well, there's no point being here
38:37if we can't clean it, is there?
38:39You know the drill?
38:40Start winding things up.
38:43It's time.
38:43Oh, come on.
38:54Hello.
38:56You and Miss Moira kicking off at the pub.
38:57Yeah, I heard.
38:59Look at this.
39:01Every case sold.
39:02What?
39:04That's all of the last lot
39:05plus the new stuff I ordered.
39:07Wow.
39:08Pricing structure sound.
39:10Good profit margin.
39:11Course.
39:13Well, it's like you said yesterday.
39:15You learnt from the best, didn't you?
39:16Unbelievable.
39:17You're going to take the credit?
39:18No, no, no.
39:19Come on.
39:19This is all you.
39:21That's amazing.
39:22Just like I knew you would be.
39:24Well, it did get a bit stressful,
39:27I'm not going to lie.
39:27Yeah, business always is.
39:29That's what makes it exciting.
39:31So, am I really doing this then?
39:33I hope so.
39:34Just apply for an alcohol licence
39:35for the depot
39:36to stop Jay whining.
39:38Oh, my God, really?
39:39Yep.
39:39So, you'd better get on the phone
39:40to the, er, vineyard.
39:43You know, erm,
39:44I'm proud of you.
39:49It's actually a shame
39:50you sold all them bottles.
39:52Well, you bought a case, obviously.
39:54Oh, did I now?
39:59Oh, no break.
40:01Come on.
40:01I can't claim you're working.
40:04Look, I just need time to think, OK?
40:06Look, before you kick me into touch
40:08and I see where you're coming from,
40:10I get it.
40:11I'm a screw-up, right?
40:12Don't make this any more excruciating, please.
40:15Listen.
40:16Meeting you
40:17was like opening a door
40:20and seeing things differently,
40:22myself differently,
40:23the type of man I could be.
40:25Oh, come on, don't make this.
40:26But you, you have this,
40:28this magic.
40:30This magic.
40:31You make things
40:32I thought were boring,
40:33fun.
40:35I have never
40:36had a relationship
40:37where I have thought about
40:38the future
40:39so much.
40:40Well, I know you said
40:41you didn't have a great
40:42track record,
40:43but seriously?
40:44Not like with you.
40:45Wanting to share my life,
40:47to build a home,
40:48to build a family,
40:49to go to the beach,
40:51you know,
40:51and eat ice creams,
40:52to playing vampires.
40:55Well, maybe not that one,
40:56but we can find new favourites,
40:58invent our own traditions.
41:01So, hang on,
41:02what your mum said
41:03about you dating
41:04your exes
41:05and being a player,
41:06that was a total lie.
41:08Yes.
41:09Yes.
41:10And it's complicated
41:11between us.
41:12It's hard to understand
41:13and it's hard for anyone
41:14else to understand.
41:15But if you're telling the truth,
41:16your mum is really toxic.
41:18I am telling the truth.
41:21And yes, she is.
41:22And I should have told you
41:23all of this before,
41:24but I didn't realise
41:24how much I cared about you
41:26until I thought
41:27I might lose you.
41:29So, please say
41:31we're still a thing.
41:33You know,
41:33cos I miss you.
41:34I miss talking to you.
41:35I miss...
41:36I'll text before bed.
41:38Yeah, I miss you too.
41:40Do you?
41:41Yeah, it's just...
41:43But what?
41:43It's just...
41:45It's just got to be more honest.
41:47You know,
41:47this stuff about your mum.
41:48I can try.
41:50I just...
41:51I just...
41:52I don't trust people easily.
41:54Do you trust me?
41:58Yes.
41:59I do.
42:01Yeah.
42:07If you make me regret this...
42:09I won't.
42:09You are the best thing
42:10that's ever happened to me.
42:11The same.
42:12The same.
42:13You know,
42:21you'd think I'd learn.
42:25How often do I tell the kids?
42:27Think
42:27before you lash out.
42:28Well,
42:29you're protecting the farm,
42:30your reputation.
42:34What if she reports me?
42:38She won't be so stupid.
42:39Sounds to me like
42:40she's up to her neck in it.
42:42Then maybe I should report her.
42:44Let the police sort it out.
42:45Your business partner,
42:46that doesn't look good.
42:47I should have said no.
42:53I should have sussed out
42:55that she was playing me.
42:56I just...
42:56I don't know what I was thinking.
42:58She made you believe you were mates.
43:00The state of the farm,
43:02though, Cain.
43:03There's no way
43:04she's putting any money into it.
43:05Which is what I don't get,
43:07because she dresses up
43:08like a country farmer.
43:10What does her son do again?
43:11Something to do
43:12with farm equipment.
43:13I mean,
43:14there's money in that.
43:15Why?
43:15What are you thinking?
43:16I'm thinking
43:17I don't trust him either.
43:19The way he was
43:20when Marlon backed into his car.
43:23Right,
43:24so what are we going to do?
43:25We can't let her
43:26get away with it.
43:27We go there tomorrow.
43:30We ask questions.
43:32Together.
43:35OK, agreed.
43:37I don't take kindly
43:38to conniving
43:39two-faced users.
43:42You better brace yourself,
43:44Celia.
44:09Well,
44:12you better brace yourself,
44:14till next time.
