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.

11:04We don't want them asking any awkward questions.
11:08Remember?
11:11If they find out that this happened at your work, a work that you have no papers for,
11:16then it could be really bad for both of us.
11:19Oh, well, I won't say anything about work.

16:12didn't she have a husband
16:14he had nothing to do with the kids
16:15yeah
16:17dads aren't everything
16:19the only reason
16:22my lad

16:25so decent
16:25was because somebody else
16:26brought him up
16:27nature or nurture
16:29eh
16:31you get your start in life
16:33but it's how you are raised

16:44celia
16:45Celia, it's only me.
17:03Celia.
17:08Come in.
17:29Flippin' heck.
17:36What are you doing here?
17:39Is it Kim?
17:40Is she tucking a turn?
17:41No, no, no.
17:42Kim's fine.
17:43She's good, I think.
17:44Haven't actually seen her today yet, so...
17:46Ah, right.
17:47Yeah.
17:48Working my way up to it.
17:50Promised Dawn I would, so...
17:52No, instead, I found myself here for some reason.
17:57Sam, it's freezing in here.
18:00Ah, yeah, it's a double jumper's minimum.
18:03Do you want one?
18:04Er, no.
18:06Bracing's good.
18:07The cold's good.
18:08Yeah.
18:09Right.
18:10You don't think that I'm a bad person, do you?
18:13Eh?
18:15Where's that come from?
18:17Most of the village, I guess.
18:19No, I'm just...
18:20just canvassing opinions.
18:22Is it a tricky question?
18:25Yeah, it's unfair of me to put you on the spot.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:29I mean, you'd have to forget about stealing Caleb's kidney, for starters.
18:33Yeah.
18:34And causing the limo crash.
18:37Yep, that too.
18:38And then you did sack me twice.
18:40Okay, yeah, I'm gonna go.
18:42Well, to be fair, call it once.
18:44I quit the second time.
18:46And with the kidney thing,
18:49you thought that if you didn't do it, you would have gone it, so...
18:53Yeah.
18:54I did.
18:55Yeah.
18:56That's exactly right.
18:57Desperate people do desperate things.
19:00You're not on your own, they're...
19:02Tinny?
19:07Tinny?
19:11Tinny?
19:12Tinny?
19:13Hmm.
19:14There's only a chair,
19:41Is he all right?
20:05I wonder if my granddad hadn't, um, you know, died.
20:11Well, he was a carpenter, master craftsman.
20:15Could make anything till his hips went.
20:19I was going to 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.
20:34Yeah, he was.
20:36Firm, too.
20:38Like Mum, but my 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.
20:51I mean, I didn't know that then.
20:52I couldn't offer her.
20:53There was no, um, you know, social workers or anything.
20:59And now, well, here I am, running her business for her.
21:04I don't know.
21:09Aren't you happy in your work?
21:12Well, if you aren't, do you want to tell her?
21:14I mean, part of raising a child is to give them their choices, you know, like your, like your woodwork.
21:21It's a bit late for that.
21:23Well, other things, uh, I mean, you're young.
21:27I mean, if you've got a dream, you've got to follow it.
21:35All right, Dad.
21:36I didn't expect a lecture.
21:38Oh, I'm overstepping again.
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.
21:52I mean, she's got kids, but their dad has passed away.
21:56So I'm not treading on anyone's toes.
21:59We get on.
22:01Well, you can't fuck kids.
22:04If they like you, they'll show it.
22:07I'm not going to rush it.
22:08I'm not going to push it.
22:10If I'm to be their new stepdad, then that's a lifetime's commitment.
22:27Hi, Mum.
22:30Yeah?
22:30Are you there now?
22:32Is it all sorted?
22:34Yeah, 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.
22:47And thank you, son.
22:49You've made an old man very proud.
22:54Another?
22:56No.
22:57No, I can't keep drinking all your beers, Sam.
22:58I feel bad.
23:00Last one, ain't you, Roy?
23:02Yeah.
23:02You know, I didn't kill that horse on purpose.
23:07You know that, right?
23:09Of 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.
23:19People 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, I've never been called them things, but...
23:38I get sick a lot.
23:41That hurts.
23:41I'm sorry if I ever called you that.
23:47Thanks.
23:50Doesn't matter, anyway.
23:52Just...
23:52The curse of being a Tate, you know?
23:56It's the, er...
23:56It's the legacy.
24:00I knew your dad.
24:02And your grandad.
24:05Frank.
24:05He were horrible.
24:08But your old man wasn't that bad.
24:0999.9%, maybe.
24:13What was the 0.1%?
24:16What?
24:18Saved this place.
24:19Stood up to your grandad when we were trying to evict us.
24:22Go Chris.
24:24Your mum were all right, though.
24:26My dad always said that.
24:28She was godmother to our bell.
24:30Really?
24:32Didn't know that.
24:33So, we're, like, related.
24:36Jokes.
24:38Seriously, though.
24:38If Lisa thought she were good enough for that, then...
24:44She must have had a good heart.
24:46Yeah.
24:47She did.
24:49So, all this, er...
24:50Cursed Tate thing, or whatever you were saying.
24:54You took after Rachel and that.
24:56I should go.
25:03Why don't you do what Don says and make you peace with Kim?
25:07Yeah.
25:08Yeah, I will.
25:10Oh, and Sam, this whole deal with your electrics...
25:13Just let me cover any outstanding, all right?
25:16Call it a Christmas bonus.
25:19Is this a trick?
25:20Gonna get me running around doing your extra hours again?
25:23No, no.
25:23It's...
25:23No catch.
25:25All right.
25:25Just put the heating on every now and then.
25:28Flippin' heck.
25:29Lydia won't believe it.
25:30Can I give you a hug?
25:32No.
25:33Come on.
25:34No, OK.
25:38There we are.
25:41Harold?
25:42I'm working.
25:43You're not answering your phone?
25:44I was working then, too.
25:45Well, you said we could talk.
25:48I know Mum got in your head.
25:49Whatever she told you, I can guarantee it's lies.
25:53Well, talk to her, OK?
25:54Because this is between you two.
25:55I have.
25:56And I'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 it's actually pathetic.
26:05You know, a bloke my age having to make excuses for his mum.
26:10But I should have got a handle on it years ago.
26:13Yeah.
26:14But this is the first time I felt like I could build a future with someone.
26:20With you.
26:21A family.
26:22I mean, I'm not saying I want babies.
26:25I'm not saying that.
26:26But me, you, Arthur, Dottie.
26:29It's been working, Laurel.
26:30I fear.
26:31You do, and it has.
26:32But I'm just not interested in a relationship which has complications.
26:37But this...
26:38I need more time.
26:39I'm sorry.
26:39Still looking good there, barman.
26:45Chazzy's day off.
26:46Charities at the hospital.
26:48Nothing amiss, I hope.
26:49Babies can.
26:51A woman carrying a great-grand towel.
26:53Thank God for medical science.
26:55Celia.
26:57Oh, Moira, what are you having?
26:58Not right now.
26:59Can we?
27:02Oh.
27:03Uh, yeah.
27:04Can you explain these to me first?
27:15I only signed off on 200 turkeys, but there are thousands here.
27:18But where did you get these?
27:20One of your clients called me instead of you, so I went up to see you, and the 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.
27:34A state of the place, Celia.
27:36And I was shocked.
27:37Moira, I'm a tenant.
27:39If 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.
27:48I wasn't away with a health and safety inspectorate.
27:51I don't want to row with you.
27:52Just tell me why my signature's on here.
27:55Um, because you signed them?
27:59No, not for these amounts.
28:01Did you talk to the invoices?
28:03Are you trying to scam me?
28:05Are 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 let you use my name and my reputation,
28:15and I told you when we went into partnership that I am totally above board.
28:19As am I.
28:20What on earth are you suggesting?
28:21Well, you tell me.
28:22Moira, just give me a chance to inspect these invoices.
28:28You 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.
29:01Moira.
29:03Maybe your brain tumour is back.
29:05Why don't you go and have a lie down?
29:07Kim.
29:19Hey.
29:21How's it going?
29:22How's the leg?
29:25You look...
29:27better than you did.
29:31All right, well, good to have you home.
29:32Should we talk?
29:37I feel like maybe we should talk.
29:40I feel...
29:41really terrible
29:43about ice.
29:44I wish that that had played out a bit differently.
29:47Why?
29:48Scared of losing your gravy train?
29:51No.
29:51And I thought that we were past
29:53little things like that.
29:56You think you'd soften me up, you mean?
29:58No.
30:01We're family.
30:03This is my home.
30:05How convenient for you.
30:07You've installed yourself
30:08in my multi-million pound mansion.
30:10Kim.
30:11That's what it's been about
30:12since day one.
30:14Getting your hands on this house.
30:16You think I'm that naive?
30:18I am being very patient with you.
30:21So leave.
30:22If the house means nothing,
30:24then prove it.
30:25You kicking me out?
30:27Again?
30:28Trying to.
30:29Ooh.
30:30You are an extremely bitter woman.
30:32You know that?
30:32Bitter.
30:34And you are a parasite.
30:36Fine.
30:36Okay?
30:37I will leave.
30:37I will leave you alone
30:38in your big multi-million pound mansion.
30:41Hope it makes you happy.
30:48Wired I what you're doing?
30:49Back off, Caleb.
30:50This is between me and Celia.
30:52Should I get you a brandy, love?
30:53Thank you, Claudette.
30:54Apologise now.
30:55You can't go salty my customers.
30:57Bob, ask her about the invoices.
30:59I said it must be a mistake.
31:01I don't know what kind of racket
31:02you are running here.
31:03You need to watch what you're inferring.
31:04Thank you, Bob.
31:05What you and Celia were mates.
31:06Oh, we have gone way past that.
31:09If you don't respect me enough
31:10to even bother with an explanation...
31:11You never even gave me a chance.
31:14I said let me look at the invoices.
31:16Try and work out what's happened.
31:17Stop it, Celia.
31:18I will not be taken for an idiot.
31:20Laura.
31:21I don't know what the hell you are up to,
31:23but you stay away from me
31:24and you stay away from my business.
31:25I don't know what the hell you are up to,
31:41but you stay away from me.
31:43The End
31:53Claudette, 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.
32:03You're not expecting us to drink all that?
32:06No, no, that's... I've got a storage issue.
32:09Sure. We can use a doily to cover them.
32:12Doily.
32:14You're not expecting Moira and Celia, are you?
32:16I mean, if so, you need to keep them apart.
32:19Honestly, Claudette, I'm not sure anyone else is coming apart from you.
32:22But why?
32:24Claudette, come on.
32:26Well, I've just come from the pub.
32:28They were having a set two and Moira slapped her.
32:31What?
32:32Right, we're definitely finishing this later.
32:34Hi. Dawn, you came.
32:36Yeah, Manpreet dragged me away from my desk.
32:39There are more people coming.
32:41And apparently, the wine that Belle bought went down really well.
32:44Yeah, we're completely out, actually.
32:46Oh, great. Well, it's good you've got me on your doorstep then.
32:49Say I was ordering it in.
32:51Do not listen to a word that silly Joe Tate told you.
32:54This wine is the bomb.
32:58Yeah, it is nice.
33:00The woman has taste.
33:02Can you do 70, though?
33:0470 bottles? Yeah, that's five and a half cases.
33:06I can get them delivered tomorrow.
33:08No, 70 cases.
33:10We've got loads of winter weddings.
33:12I can manage 70 cases.
33:15That is absolutely not a problem.
33:20So, Joe's moving out.
33:22Yep.
33:23That seems a bit... drastic.
33:26Not really.
33:28Well, Dawn, she said...
33:30She's not to be trusted, either.
33:33Shame.
33:34Cos I was so fond of her, too.
33:36Kim.
33:37You know, you're the only one who shows that you care.
33:40Sure, that's not true.
33:42What? So you don't care about me?
33:44Of course I do.
33:45You know that.
33:46Our friendship means everything.
33:48Yeah.
33:49And I feel the same way.
33:52I was thinking...
33:54Tomorrow, why don't we take a drive out?
33:57Find somewhere nice for Ice's Ashes.
34:00I could wrap you up warm, check some camping chairs
34:03and raise a glass to him.
34:05That would be perfect.
34:07Thank you, Lydia.
34:09No-one else has even considered where poor Ice should rest.
34:12I'm sure Joe would have got round to it eventually.
34:14Why do you keep defending him?
34:16I wish you'd stop assuming that other people are good, like you.
34:20Don't say that, Kim.
34:23I wasn't going to tell you this.
34:26So as not to spoil our friendship.
34:28Tell me what?
34:30I've left you home farm in my will.
34:33She's got to be scamming me, Kane.
34:36What's for these invoices?
34:38Well, she's supplying way more turkeys than she ever told me.
34:41What?
34:42And she didn't explain it?
34:43Nope.
34:45Yeah, well that's sus straight away.
34:47At least you had it out there, though.
34:51What?
34:53I slapped her.
34:55Mara, the last time you attacked someone, you ended up inside a police cell.
34:59I know, I know.
35:00You don't have to make me feel any worse.
35:01Yeah, I'm just saying.
35:02I'm done.
35:08Do you really have to keep checking up on me?
35:10The scan was fine.
35:11Right.
35:14The sonographer woman said it's all a solid normal.
35:18And Jacob and Sarah got a nice little photo of 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, you can't fool me, remember?
35:30And there's only one good reason for that.
35:32Oh really?
35:34Did you ever tell the fertility doctor that you'd had unprotected sex with your husband?
35:40Shut up, Vanessa, oh my God!
35:42What about the dating scan?
35:43That is enough!
35:44How many more times?
35:46You think it's Mac's baby, don't you?
35:49Do you know what? I'm not going to stand here in my house and 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!
36:00Oh, Lydia, you don't have to look so horrified.
36:10But I...
36:12It's really not that outrageous.
36:16There's plenty of money to go round.
36:18My will provides for them all.
36:20Even Joe has done very well for himself without my help.
36:25Gabby already has the hide and I've set up an extremely generous trust for 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.
36:42I can't accept it.
36:44I'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.
36:58Fill it with dingles.
37:00Bring Esther back.
37:02But more than anything, stop working so hard.
37:12You have no idea of your value, have you?
37:15Then, you're just going to have to trust my judgement.
37:18Because I've never met anyone more deserving.
37:22Why didn't you pick up?
37:27I 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?
37:38Where were you?
37:39You said you would drop off the workers, come straight back here.
37:42Well, it's not my fault. Where were you?
37:44I was at the penthouse.
37:45The alarm went off again for no reason.
37:46Spiders.
37:47You want to tell that cleaner to...
37:48Answer the question.
37:49Where were you?
37:50I guess.
37:51With the drip.
37:54What did Moira say?
37:55Plenty.
37:57She also slapped me round the face in the pub.
38:00What?
38:02Did you slap her back?
38:03Why would I do that when 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.
38:15Rather a juicy narrative emerging, don't you think?
38:18So...
38:19We're not worried?
38:20No.
38:23But we are leaving.
38:25What?
38:27I was already thinking this Dylan and April business is getting far too messy for my tastes.
38:32But the money was coming in, so...
38:34Mum, it still is.
38:35Well, there's no point being here if we can't clean it, is there?
38:39You know the drill?
38:40Start winding things up.
38:42It's time.
38:43Hello.
38:44You and Miss Moira kicking off at the pub.
38:45Yeah.
38:46I heard.
38:47Look at this.
38:48Every case sold.
38:49What?
38:50That's all of the last lot, plus the new stuff I ordered.
38:51Wow.
38:52You and Miss Moira kicking off at the pub.
38:53Yeah.
38:54I heard.
38:55Look at this.
38:56Every case sold.
38:57What?
38:58That's all of the last lot, plus the new stuff I ordered.
39:00Wow.
39:01The pricing structure sound.
39:02Good profit margin.
39:03Of course.
39:04Well, it's like you said yesterday, you learnt from the best, didn't you?
39:05Unbelievable.
39:06You're going to take the credit.
39:07No, no, no.
39:08Come on.
39:09This is all you.
39:10That's amazing.
39:11Just like I knew you would be.
39:12Well, it did get a bit stressful, I'm not going to lie.
39:15Yeah, business always is.
39:16That's what makes it exciting.
39:17Oh, no, no.
39:18Come on, this is all you.
39:19That's amazing.
39:20Just like I knew you would be.
39:22Well, it did get a bit stressful, I'm not going to lie.
39:25Yeah, well business always is.
39:27It's what makes it exciting.
39:29So am I really doing this then?
39:32I hope so.
39:33I'll just apply for an alcohol licence for the depot to stop Jay whining.
39:37Oh my God, really?
39:38Yep.
39:39So you'd better get on the phone to the vineyard.
39:42You know, erm, I'm proud of you.
39:48It's actually a shame you sold all them bottles.
39:51Well, you bought a case, obviously.
39:53Oh, did I now?
39:54Hmm.
39:55Oh, no break.
40:00Come on.
40:02Can't claim you're working.
40:03Look, I just need time to think, okay?
40:05Look, before you kick me into touch and I see where you're coming from, I get it.
40:10I'm a screw up, right?
40:11Don't make this any more excruciating, please.
40:14Listen, meeting you was like opening a door and seeing things differently, myself differently.
40:23The type of man I could be.
40:25Oh, come on, don't make this.
40:26But you, you have this, this magic.
40:29This magic.
40:30You make things I thought were boring, fun.
40:34I have never had a relationship where I have thought about the future so much.
40:40Well, I know you said you didn't have a great track record, but seriously?
40:43Not like with you, wanting to share my life, to build a home, to build a family, to go
40:48to the beach, you know, and eat ice creams, to play in vampires.
40:54Well, maybe not that one, but we can find new favourites, invent our own traditions.
40:59So hang on, what your mum said about you dating your exes and being a player, that was a total lie.
41:08Yes.
41:09Yes.
41:10And it's complicated between us.
41:12It's hard to understand and it's hard for anyone else to understand.
41:15But if you're telling the truth, your mum is really toxic.
41:18I am telling the truth.
41:20And yes, she is.
41:21And I should have told you all of this before, but I didn't realise how much I cared about
41:25you until I thought I might lose you.
41:28So, please say we're still a thing.
41:32You know, cos I miss you, I miss talking to you, I miss texts before bed.
41:37Yeah, I miss you too.
41:39Do you?
41:40Yeah, it's just...
41:42But what?
41:43It's just...
41:44It's just got to be more honest.
41:46You know, this stuff about your mum.
41:48I can try.
41:49I just, I just...
41:51I don't trust people easy.
41:53Do you trust me?
41:55Yes.
41:56I do.
41:57Yeah.
41:58If you make me regret these things...
41:59I won't.
42:00You are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
42:01The same.
42:02The same.
42:03The same.
42:04The same.
42:05The same.
42:06You know, you'd think I'd learn.
42:08How often do I tell the kids?
42:09Think before you lash out.
42:10Well, you're protecting the farm, your reputation.
42:11What if she reports me?
42:12She won't be so stupid.
42:13Sounds to me like she's up to her neck, isn't it?
42:14Then maybe I should report her.
42:15Let the police search her.
42:16Let the police search her.
42:17You know, you'd think I'd learn.
42:21How often do I tell the kids?
42:26Think before you lash out.
42:28Well, you're protecting the farm, your reputation.
42:31What if she reports me?
42:35She won't be so stupid.
42:38Sounds to me like she's up to her neck in it.
42:41Then maybe I should report her.
42:43Let the police sort it out.
42:45Your business partner.
42:46That doesn't look good.
42:48I should have said no.
42:53I should have sussed out that she was playing me.
42:55I just...
42:56I don't know what I was thinking.
42:57She made you believe you were mates.
43:00The state of the farm, though, Cain.
43:02There's no way she's putting any money into it.
43:05Which is what I don't get,
43:06because she dresses up like a country farmer.
43:09What does her son do again?
43:11Something to do with farm equipment.
43:12I mean, there's money in that.
43:14Why, what are you thinking?
43:15I'm thinking I don't trust him either.
43:18The way he was when Marlon backed into his car.
43:21Right, so what are we going to do?
43:24We can't let her get away with it.
43:26We go there tomorrow.
43:28And we ask questions.
43:31Together.
43:32Okay, agreed.
43:36I don't take kindly to conniving two-faced users.
43:41You better brace yourself, Celia.
43:43I'll see you.
43:44You better brace yourself, Celia.
43:51I don't understand, Celia.
