00:00Ah...
00:25Oh, damn!
00:30Ooh. Steady.
00:32I forgot about them.
00:33Has something happened?
00:34Oh, no. You left this.
00:37I can't seem to focus on anything.
00:39Apart from the obvious.
00:40Well, at least the police are trying to help.
00:43They just have to make sure they've got enough evidence.
00:45Yeah, and how long's that going to take,
00:46especially with Dylan refusing to talk?
00:48I'm sure they're doing their best.
00:49Well, we just magic up two grand a week.
00:51Let's just focus on what we can do.
00:54Which is nothing, because Ray and Celia
00:56have got us completely trapped.
00:57We sold the car. We maxed out the credit cards.
00:59We've taken out two loans. There's no-one else to go.
01:01No-one else to turn to.
01:02We will get that money.
01:16Sorry.
01:20I'm just trying to be quiet.
01:22It's fine.
01:24They keep waking me up anyway.
01:26I must be checking I'm still alive.
01:28I think the machine's doing that for them.
01:29Sorry. Go on.
01:36I've let you down again.
01:38No, you haven't.
01:39Of course you haven't.
01:41I honestly can't remember taking any gear.
01:45That's all in the past.
01:46It doesn't matter.
01:47I shouldn't have pressured you into that party.
01:53You were just being nice.
01:56I wasn't listening, was I?
01:59Keep messing up.
02:01Keep missing things.
02:03It's like I must have done with me dad.
02:05I don't want you disappearing on me as well, so I'm going to do better.
02:14I promise.
02:19Rona!
02:20Rona, it's your lucky day.
02:22I have got some fantastic Primitivo for sale.
02:24What?
02:24It's from a boutique little vineyard in Puglia.
02:27I bought a bit too much.
02:29Well, so much the fact that Caleb's had to store it at the depot.
02:31But it does mean that I've got some fantastic cases that you could have.
02:35Oh, you're asking the wrong person.
02:38Rona always said I was useless at buying presents when she was young.
02:41And, you know, nine's a tricky age.
02:43I should ask Laurel, only I figured it would be perfect if I could get just the right thing.
02:48Oh, you mean you're trying to impress her?
02:50Well, maybe you could help me with that too.
02:52Ray, what are you doing here?
02:54Oh.
02:55Honestly, she can be so rude sometimes.
02:57Ray very kindly carried my shopping home for me.
03:00Very noble.
03:01Sorry, I thought you hated all that.
03:03What is it?
03:04Ageist claptrap.
03:05Turns out I don't mind when there's a bag of potatoes involved.
03:08Well, I can take that now, thanks.
03:10You could do worse than money, you know, for Arthur.
03:12Not very festive, is it?
03:14No, but it's always appreciated.
03:16You're not really giving them money at that age, are you?
03:18You're giving them a bit of freedom.
03:20Oh.
03:21Money for freedom.
03:22Mm-hmm.
03:23I like your thinking.
03:24You're a wise woman, your mum.
03:25Laurel's found a good one there.
03:31How would you know?
03:31Just because he carried your shopping up the street?
03:33What the nurse the matter with you?
03:35Nothing.
03:36Just stay away from him.
03:37Why?
03:37He seems nice enough.
03:39Well, he's not.
03:39Well, Laurel seems to like him.
03:41She's no fool.
03:42Meaning I am.
03:43No, of course not.
03:45But you're not making much sense.
03:47What's he actually done?
03:50Nothing.
03:50You were being odd yesterday as well.
03:53Not my imagination, before you try and fob me off with that again.
03:56I just don't trust him.
03:57So please, just do as I ask for once, yeah?
04:04I'd have taken these home with me yesterday if I'd known you were moving them all.
04:07I'd have taken some shifting.
04:09I'll drink it.
04:12Hello.
04:13I just need a word.
04:14I'd like you to leave.
04:16Oh, er, can you manage?
04:18Please.
04:20Sorry.
04:22You know, I really should have been told about this.
04:26I've already had Bellop here bursting this morning, collecting a load.
04:30Now Mampreet.
04:30I mean, how many other people have you got popping in?
04:32Well, depends how thirsty everyone is.
04:34Yeah.
04:35It's not funny, Caleb.
04:37We don't have a license to sell alcohol.
04:39Relax, will you?
04:40Yeah, I'm dealing with it.
04:40And anyway, Ruby's the one that's doing the selling.
04:43Still not legal.
04:49Take it that's Ruby's cheap wine then?
04:52Are you sure that's all you want?
04:53I'm sure you could squeeze another few cases in there.
04:55Help us squeeze me dry while you're at it.
04:57Don't worry, Charity.
05:00I'll still be popping into your pub.
05:03I hope you've dragged me up here for good reason.
05:04Because I've got a pub to run and everybody seems to be banging on about this dripping wine.
05:08Yeah, I heard you're not happy.
05:09Come on in.
05:15Well, let's face it, there's enough to last everyone through till next spring with that lot.
05:19Yeah, slight exaggeration.
05:21Ruby got an order wrong.
05:22Well, I suggest she sends it back in pronto.
05:25Well, that's not really an option.
05:27But, er, I reckon that we could help each other out.
05:33So, how do you fancy coming for you two later?
05:37Oh, I wish.
05:37I've got thousands of quotes to sort out.
05:40What, in the middle of winter?
05:41Which is when farmers do the maintenance.
05:43Checking machinery, hopefully finding it doesn't work.
05:45Oh, you've got a cruel street.
05:47Oh, only in business.
05:49Here you go.
05:50So, um, two's mine?
05:52Yeah.
05:59Oh.
06:00Oh, hello again.
06:01Long time no see.
06:02Yeah.
06:04Not exactly a whirlwind romance, is it?
06:06There's nothing wrong with taking things slowly, Nick.
06:09Can I help you?
06:10Oh, just a cup of tea, please.
06:12Oh, take a seat.
06:13I'll bring it over in a minute.
06:14Yeah, but this should be the exciting part,
06:16where you can't keep your hands off each other.
06:17No, we're not teenagers, are we?
06:19And I've got kids.
06:19He's working.
06:21It's just difficult getting time on our own.
06:24Look, so ask Arthur to babysit,
06:26and then go around after tea,
06:27take his mind off combine harvesters.
06:29Oh, no, I can't do that.
06:30He'll be working,
06:31and I can hardly seduce him
06:33with his mums out there watching us.
06:35Is that where he lives then, up at the farm?
06:37Er, well, yeah, as far as I know.
06:39What, you've not even been?
06:40No, it's difficult, isn't...
06:42Have you got to cast them up?
06:44Tsk.
06:48For what it's worth,
06:50I think he's rather nice.
06:51You're a young man, Ray.
06:55Rona's not a fan.
06:56Not?
06:57Sure, Rona.
06:58Probably jealous, I know I am.
06:59Oh, come on, you and Jimmy are made for each other.
07:02Is that meant to be a compliment?
07:05What did Rona say?
07:06Not much.
07:08To be honest,
07:08I think she's a bit stressed.
07:11At least he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
07:13Anyway, it's none of Rona's business.
07:14All mine come to that,
07:16so you take no notice.
07:17Go ahead, enjoy yourself.
07:18I can assure you, you will love it and I'll give you a great price.
07:28No, it's fine.
07:29Have a good Christmas.
07:30Yeah.
07:32This is what you're up to now?
07:34Taking over this place?
07:35Flogging wine?
07:36I wish.
07:38Everyone is all stocked up for Christmas
07:39and dry January's on the horizon.
07:41Oof.
07:42Well, listen,
07:43I've told Caleb
07:43and now I'm telling you
07:45we do not have...
07:46Max, darling,
07:46I have been meaning to call you for ages.
07:49How is the land of party boats?
07:53Oh, no.
07:55Oh, I'm sorry.
07:57Er,
07:57I'm sure you'll bounce back.
07:59I'm sorry,
08:01I've got to go.
08:04If you're here for a row,
08:05then you'll have to come back.
08:06Or wait,
08:07because I'm very busy.
08:09Having trouble selling your lake Primitivo?
08:12It's early days.
08:13It's the wrong time of year
08:14to be getting into this business, you know.
08:15I've worked that out for myself
08:16and it's not a business yet.
08:18Good,
08:19I'm glad to hear that.
08:20So come on then,
08:21I'm assuming this is half decent
08:22seeing as though you've bought so much.
08:24It's the best one I've ever had,
08:26which is lucky,
08:26seeing as I'll be drinking it
08:28for the rest of my life.
08:29Unless I take it off your hands.
08:31I'm serious.
08:32Could do with some of this in the pub.
08:34There's nearly 80 cases.
08:35That's all right,
08:36not a problem.
08:37If the price is right.
08:39Shall we say
08:4050 quid a case?
08:42Are you?
08:44Go on,
08:4560.
08:46Final offer.
08:47Final offer?
08:48Okay,
08:49well,
08:49you can sort the transport
08:50and I'll transfer the funds.
08:52Is it to you or...
08:53Yeah, me.
08:54Er,
08:54I'll just get my bank details.
08:59Twice in one morning.
09:07I'm guessing this isn't good.
09:09No,
09:09Chas has gone into town.
09:10Okay.
09:11Listen,
09:12I've really messed up.
09:13I saw my mum
09:14talking to Ray
09:15outside our house
09:17and he'd obviously engineered it
09:19trying to charm her.
09:20What do you mean?
09:20Well,
09:21helping the little old lady
09:22with her shopping.
09:23Exactly.
09:24When has my mother
09:25ever been one of those?
09:26Anyway,
09:27I lost it.
09:29I snapped
09:29and I said,
09:30stay away from Ray.
09:31I don't trust him.
09:32While he was there?
09:33No,
09:33of course not.
09:34But it's just made her
09:35more suspicious.
09:37Oh,
09:37God.
09:37And then
09:38he said this thing,
09:39Ray,
09:40about,
09:42erm,
09:43money
09:43buying freedom.
09:46It was something to do
09:47with Laurel's kids
09:48and Christmas presents.
09:49But then he smiled at me
09:52with such an obvious threat.
09:54So what now?
09:55I mean,
09:56we can't tell her.
09:57It'd have put her
09:57in too much danger.
09:58She already is, Marlon.
10:00And you know what my mum's like?
10:01She won't stop asking questions.
10:04We need to get her away from here.
10:05From us.
10:07Even if she ends up
10:08hating us for it.
10:19I take it Joe
10:25couldn't be bothered coming
10:26or is he too busy
10:28meddling in my affairs?
10:30Look,
10:30he wanted to give you space.
10:31He didn't want to upset you.
10:33He sends his love, though,
10:34and he's ever so sorry
10:35about yesterday.
10:36Then he shouldn't have
10:37killed my horse.
10:39Kim.
10:40He was trying to do
10:41the right thing.
10:42He knows you're grieving.
10:47You're quiet.
10:48No pearls of wisdom
10:50about grief
10:51or that there wasn't
10:52any choice.
10:54I told you this was
10:55a bad idea.
10:56Oh, I see.
10:56So this was
10:57some sort of routine.
10:59Kim, look,
11:00we all really care about you.
11:01Yeah,
11:02when you want something
11:02from me.
11:03I'm not interested.
11:05Just go home.
11:06Tell Joe
11:07I'll be getting out tomorrow
11:08so he doesn't need
11:09to make any more decisions
11:10behind my back.
11:12Okay.
11:17You don't have to.
11:26I should have been there
11:27for ice.
11:28I wondered where I was.
11:31Why I'd abandoned him.
11:32And Joe just had him
11:36dispatched
11:37because I wasn't able
11:39to ride him again.
11:41As if that's all
11:42that mattered.
11:43I'm sure he didn't
11:44mean it like that.
11:47You're too quick
11:47to see the good
11:48in people.
11:52Will you, um,
11:55will you talk
11:55to Vanessa?
11:57Make sure I get
11:58the number
11:58for the pet crematorium.
12:00And she's not to let
12:01anyone else deal
12:02with them.
12:05You're a good friend.
12:07You're like family,
12:08really.
12:09You and Sam.
12:11I should let you
12:11get some rest.
12:24Belle's had so many
12:25amazing ideas.
12:26I can't believe
12:27I secretly flattened this.
12:29She's taken me
12:29to look at some
12:30wedding dresses
12:30and she can also
12:31get you a deal
12:31and see what you'd like.
12:33That'd be great.
12:34Give her a call.
12:35See you later.
12:36See you in bed.
12:39Oh, hey.
12:41Oh.
12:42Oh.
12:42I thought you said
12:43you were a snow dander
12:43all day.
12:44Well, I am,
12:44but I've got to eat.
12:45Well, I could make you
12:47something back at mine.
12:48Thanks, but I haven't
12:49really got time.
12:50How about tomorrow?
12:52I've still got the day off.
12:53I could make a chilli.
12:55I mean, surely you've
12:57got to have a break, yeah?
12:58A chilli sounds good.
12:59Yeah, great.
13:00Shall we ask your mum?
13:03What?
13:04What?
13:04Is that weird?
13:05It's just, you know,
13:06we're official now
13:07and it'd be nice.
13:09Well, you clearly
13:10don't know her very well.
13:12Well, I know I don't,
13:13but that's the point,
13:13isn't it?
13:14Yeah, but she can be
13:16overprotective.
13:18I think it's too soon,
13:20anyway.
13:21Not too soon
13:22to meet my kids,
13:23though.
13:24She'll end up
13:25going over the top,
13:26assuming we're
13:26going to get married
13:27or something.
13:28Let's just enjoy
13:29what we've got.
13:30I'm not hungry.
13:31No.
13:32Okay.
13:33Okay, bye.
13:36What's that?
13:38Well, give me a clue.
13:3978 cases.
13:40All gone.
13:41No way.
13:43That's amazing.
13:44See, I've told you
13:45you're a natural-born
13:46salesperson.
13:47Not really.
13:48Charity turned up
13:49out the blue
13:49and put the hole
13:50up the ball.
13:51Charity?
13:52I know.
13:52Last person I'd have
13:53expected.
13:54Well, I say
13:55a glass of wine
13:55to celebrate.
13:59It was you,
14:00wasn't it?
14:02Very funny.
14:04Was it even your money?
14:06Okay, well,
14:06I may have had
14:07a small donation.
14:07Look, I was just,
14:08I was just trying
14:09to help you,
14:09that's all.
14:10It had taken you
14:10forever to shift it all.
14:12So you went behind
14:12my back?
14:13Well, I thought
14:13it'd save you
14:14a load of stress.
14:14Plus, I can't keep
14:16it at the depot.
14:16Jay's on me case.
14:17We haven't got a
14:18license.
14:21Okay, well,
14:22pleasure doing
14:22business with you.
14:24Get stuffed.
14:26Well, you didn't
14:27help at all.
14:28I tried to tell
14:29Kim that we all
14:29care about her,
14:30but she's too
14:31stubborn.
14:31You should know
14:32this by now.
14:33So, I'm guessing
14:34things didn't go
14:35perfectly.
14:36No, she basically
14:37chucked us out.
14:38Look, I need to get
14:39back to work anyway.
14:40She just needs a bit
14:41of time, love.
14:42Right, I'm going to
14:43crack on with the
14:44cleaning.
14:46Kim's being discharged
14:47tomorrow, so I think
14:48we should give her
14:48some space.
14:49Just a couple of days.
14:51We could go stay
14:52at the old
14:53groundskeeper's cottage.
14:54I can't stand this.
14:56Kim loved that horse.
14:57Now the entire family's
14:58falling to bits
14:59because of us.
15:00I know, but it'd be
15:01all right.
15:01It's all I can think
15:02about, and sleeping
15:03on it doesn't help.
15:05I can hardly live
15:05with myself.
15:07We're going to have
15:07to tell Kim the truth.
15:08No, we can't do that.
15:10Sam, she said she
15:11sees us as family
15:12and I can barely
15:13look at her.
15:14So it's the only way.
15:18He won't have been
15:19trying to upset you,
15:20Ruby.
15:20On the contrary,
15:21it sounded like he was
15:22genuinely trying to help.
15:23Well, then he should
15:24have talked to me,
15:25not lied to me,
15:26and let me think I'd
15:26actually achieved something.
15:27I'm not four.
15:31I think I need to apologise,
15:33don't I?
15:34And I think I need to go
15:35message me later.
15:36look.
15:46Jay wasn't happy
15:47about it all being
15:47at the depot,
15:48and Charity was getting
15:49in the right flap
15:50about you undercutting
15:51out, and the last thing
15:51that I need right now
15:52is a big family fallout
15:53before Christmas.
15:54So you thought you'd
15:55make me look like
15:56a complete idiot?
15:57Charity could barely
15:58keep her face straight.
15:59Don't let her get to you.
16:00I'm not.
16:01She's not.
16:02It's you.
16:04Overstepping,
16:05belittling me.
16:06Oh, come on.
16:06You know that I would
16:07never do that.
16:08That's exactly what you did.
16:10I was trying to sort
16:11something for myself,
16:12fix my own mistakes.
16:13You don't need to.
16:15Yes, I do.
16:16That's the whole point.
16:17Right, okay, okay.
16:19I am sorry.
16:20I'll find a way to sort it.
16:21I don't want you
16:22to sort it!
16:23Why can't you see that?
16:27Oh!
16:27Anything interesting
16:40going on?
16:42Good question.
16:46What aren't you telling me?
16:49It's been a long year, Mum.
16:51And I'm so proud of you,
16:52Poppet.
16:53You and Marlon,
16:54getting April through
16:55everything,
16:55it's not been easy.
16:56But there's so much
16:58to look forward to.
17:00April's home.
17:03Nearly Christmas.
17:04The thing is,
17:05now April is back home again,
17:08it finally feels like
17:09we're getting back
17:09to some kind of normality.
17:11Yes.
17:12It's great.
17:13April's happy.
17:14But it's made us realise
17:15that she needs
17:17her own space.
17:18We all do.
17:20Sorry, Mum.
17:22I hate doing this.
17:24It's just too crowded
17:28when you're here.
17:30It's too much pressure.
17:32Well, I can try
17:34and keep out of the way.
17:36That's not enough.
17:38Sorry, Hugh.
17:40We need you to move out.
17:44If there was any other option...
17:47We need each other.
17:49I'm not saying
17:50this will be forever, Mum,
17:51but right now,
17:52me and Marlon,
17:53we have to do
17:54what's best for us,
17:55for the kids.
17:56And to hell
17:56with everybody else.
17:57No, no, no, no.
17:58I'm not buying this.
17:59Mum, please.
18:00You can't expect me
18:00to move out
18:01without telling me why.
18:02I just did.
18:03And I don't believe
18:03a word of it.
18:04I'm sorry,
18:05but it's like I said,
18:06we just want our house back.
18:09Where am I supposed to go?
18:11Maybe back to Cornwall?
18:13Or you've still got
18:14friends in Kent?
18:15Are you sure
18:15that's far enough?
18:18I'll give NASA a ring,
18:19shall I?
18:19See if they need
18:20somebody on the space station.
18:21Don't you dare behave
18:22like I'm being unreasonable!
18:25I'm the one
18:26that's being asked
18:26to leave for no reason!
18:29I'm going to ask you again.
18:32What's going on, Rona?
18:36Hi.
18:36A lot of Chardonnay
18:37and an orange juice, please.
18:39Oh, God.
18:40Celia's here.
18:42So?
18:42Well, I saw Ray
18:43in the shop earlier
18:44and I told him
18:45that I wanted to invite
18:46her for lunch tomorrow.
18:47Oh.
18:48Yeah, he thought
18:49it was weird as well.
18:50It's not exactly
18:50taking things slowly,
18:51if that's what you really want.
18:54Er, what are you doing
18:55beyond that?
18:56What does it look like?
18:57Before you kick off,
18:58there's nobody booked
18:59in for dinner next door.
19:01And if someone wants a drink?
19:02Well, I put a sign up
19:03telling them to come in here.
19:05Look, it's not good for me
19:06being stuck on my own
19:06all the time, isn't there?
19:08Anyway, I'm back.
19:10And you're going to have
19:10to get used to it
19:11because I've convinced
19:12Charity to keep me
19:13on the rotor.
19:14Oh, great.
19:14Thanks, Charity.
19:15Oh, don't have a go at me.
19:16Look, I just want
19:17a quiet life.
19:18I mean, you could always
19:19do a few healings yourself.
19:20Caleb.
19:23Run that past me again.
19:25Oh, Paddy.
19:26Um, how's Dylan doing?
19:27Er, yeah, he's on the mend.
19:28Physically, at least.
19:30Are you going out with Ray?
19:32Er, yeah.
19:34Yeah, it's not been long,
19:34but he seems really nice.
19:37Mm, it's like poetry, isn't it?
19:38Right, he's been to the hospital
19:40quite a bit
19:40and he's been so supportive
19:41of Dylan.
19:42I'd say he's a bit more
19:43than just nice
19:43or cling on to him.
19:47So go and talk to her now.
19:48No, no, no, no.
19:49He said he didn't want me to.
19:50What are you doing, Nicola?
19:51Speeding things up
19:52because someone's got to go on.
19:54Hi, Celia.
20:01Hi.
20:02You must be Ray's girlfriend.
20:04Er, yeah?
20:06I knew there was someone.
20:07I just wasn't sure
20:08if it was, er, serious.
20:11Well, um, I'm not sure,
20:13but it will.
20:14It might be.
20:19Er, Celia,
20:21er, would you like to come
20:22to my house tomorrow for lunch?
20:26It, er, it'd be really nice
20:28to get to know you.
20:30Er, Ray will be there, obviously.
20:31I'll look forward to it.
20:34Why do you always think
20:36you know better than everyone else?
20:37I don't.
20:39But I'm not some dotty old woman.
20:41There is more to this
20:41than you're letting on.
20:42First, you don't want me
20:44knowing anything about Dylan.
20:45Then, you completely overreact
20:47when I talk to Ray,
20:48and now this.
20:49Will you just stop
20:50thinking like a journalist
20:51for one second?
20:52Uh-huh, now.
20:53I've touched a nerve.
20:53No, you haven't, Mum.
20:54You're just doing
20:55what you always do.
20:56You're being completely overbearing.
20:58We've put up with it for years,
21:00and we are sick of it.
21:01Sick of you!
21:01Oh!
21:01I just want you gone,
21:08because we're happier without you,
21:10and that's all there is to it.
21:15I need to pack,
21:16make some plans.
21:26I'll be gone first thing.
