00:30Who's ready to smash this Santagash?
00:53Why did we decide to do this again?
00:57Ah, because it's for a good cause. Mind, we need to finish the race so the charities don't
01:02get their donations.
01:03You don't need to remind me, only 5,000 metres to go.
01:06Oh, jeez-o, it's fresh out here. Fresh? It's pure Baltic, man.
01:11Don't worry, we'll get a warm-up soon. Get that blood pumping.
01:13But no lunges. I'm not doing lunges.
01:16Aye, well, looks like someone didn't get the memo.
01:21Aye, what memo's that?
01:22Well, it's the Santa run. Why are you dressed like a chicken?
01:26I'm a turkey. You can say that again.
01:29You walked into that one, to be fair.
01:31You can wipe that smell right off your face. You were supposed to sort that outfit.
01:34Yeah, it was the last one left. Either that or Elphaba.
01:37The Wicked Witch?
01:39Well, you know what they say, if the hat fits.
01:42I didn't realise you two were coming.
01:45First nearly left Shield inch without you.
01:47Oh, blame this one for making last-minute costume alterations.
01:50Well, if I had a prize for the best dressed, I know who I'd be giving it to.
01:53Well, you better take a good look, cos once this race starts, she won't see me for dust.
01:56Yeah, I hope not.
01:57You're still coming to the pub after?
01:59Yeah, try and stop me.
02:01What's the mean?
02:02Oh, I never know why you went into all that effort.
02:06Right, this 5k is just a fun run, all right?
02:09We're raising money for our respective charities.
02:12Woo!
02:14But there will be a prize for those who beat their personal best.
02:18Woo-hoo!
02:19So good luck, everyone. Let's go!
02:20Come on!
02:21Come on!
02:22Yeah!
02:22Ye-hey!
02:23Yes!
02:23Thank you!
02:24Come on!
02:24Come on!
02:37Listen, I never said thank you for saving my mum.
02:45It's a good job you were there.
02:49Sweetheart find the scumbags that did this to us.
02:53You got any leads yet?
02:55No.
02:56Still working on it.
02:59We've made plenty of enemies through the years, so...
03:02Could be anyone.
03:03You must have some suspects.
03:05Nah, but nothing concrete.
03:08We also cannae rule out that it was just a random attack.
03:11You don't seriously believe that?
03:13There's one thing this business has taught me is that you need to keep an open mind.
03:19It's all right.
03:23Everything all right?
03:24Yeah, fine.
03:25They were just putting on a new dressing.
03:27Nothing to worry about.
03:28Any news on Harry?
03:30Yeah, I saw the doctor.
03:31He's doing great.
03:32Is he allowed visitors?
03:34Hm?
03:35In a couple of hours.
03:37What is it, Mum?
03:39He wants to see both of us first.
03:41Right, remember your training, folks.
03:59Stay hydrated and look after each other, all right?
04:03Are you all right, mate?
04:03You're a bit quiet on the way over.
04:05Ah, just getting in the zone.
04:06Ah, good luck with that, old gin.
04:09Right.
04:09You're getting skilped down the home straight.
04:12After we've crossed the finish line, we'll come back and drag you over it, eh?
04:15Nah, nah, nah.
04:16Roisin will do that for him, eh?
04:17Nah, she's not going to be there.
04:19Well, is she getting your hot bath ready instead?
04:22She's got a lot of work today before the holidays.
04:23Oh, sorry, sorry, guys, sorry.
04:29Guys, can I get...
04:30Oh, sorry.
04:30Sorry, can I get past?
04:35Just to say, eh, don't beat yourself up.
04:37There's no shame in coming second.
04:39Screw it, it's me.
04:41Now, the race hasn't even started yet.
04:43Yeah, and we're racing our PBs, not each other.
04:45Aye, I'm talking about fundraising.
04:48I'm the only one to hit a grand.
04:50Yeah, well, you've got to get round the course first.
04:51I mean, can you even run in that monstrosity?
04:55You'll see, won't you, when I come flying by you?
04:57That's a lie.
04:59Well, the only thing this turkey will be doing is getting stuffed.
05:03Right, stick to the plan, get out in front and block anybody from overtaking.
05:07Then you and me will share the glory.
05:10What are you doing?
05:12Energy sweets give me a competitive edge.
05:13He wants them.
05:14That's cheating, you've got disqualified.
05:15Calm down, it's none of the Olympics.
05:19All right, geese them quick.
05:21Everyone ready?
05:24Yes!
05:24Yes!
05:26Five!
05:26Four!
05:27Three!
05:28Two!
05:29One!
05:30One!
05:31Yeah!
05:31Come on!
05:32Come on!
05:39Still no word on what happened at the jailbirds.
05:43I'm just glad Alex got out when he did.
05:46He shouldn't have been in there in the first place.
05:48Look, like it or not, he works for Harry now.
05:50Yeah, yeah.
05:52And I knew it was a bad idea.
05:53Him getting involved with the folks.
05:54He's this he did at the time.
05:55Did he listen?
05:56Look, the important thing is, he's okay.
06:00It's not as though he never had his fair share of scripts working for you though.
06:06Look, have you heard from Amber?
06:08She's still ignored my calls.
06:09She's still ignored my calls.
06:10They're shoolding suffragette, don't they be starving or not?
06:12Oh, I cannot believe she got herself arrested.
06:15She says she's stolen the duck who's behind us.
06:17Yeah, but I don't blame him for being upset.
06:20But right now I'm more worried about how she's feeling.
06:25Look, we need to get this sorted, Lenny.
06:27Once and for all.
06:39Where's Tyler?
06:39You said he had to go back to finish some work.
06:44Listen, we have to have the exact same story why we were both there the night of the fire.
06:49There can't be any discrepancies.
06:50Do you think he knows about us?
06:54Why else would he ask to see me straight away?
06:56How could he?
06:57This is Harry Foulkes we're talking about.
06:59He's got ways of finding things out.
07:04Alex, what we did.
07:06You don't need to explain.
07:08I just hate the moment, all that.
07:11Do you want me to come with you just in case?
07:14That's not a good idea.
07:15Well, neither has been alone with him.
07:17Look, if he's got any suspicions about us, then you and me turning up together,
07:21it's only going to make things worse.
07:23I'll find a way to deal with him.
07:26And if you can't?
07:27If he already knows the truth?
07:30Then we both end up in shallow graves at the end of the day.
07:33I told you we should have done more training.
07:50No, I just started off too fast and my legs are on fire.
07:54Oh, yeah.
07:55What about Caitlin and Karen going at it?
07:57How funny was that?
07:58Yeah, the insults need a bit of work, but I'm totally here for it.
08:01Do you reckon they're still giving each other pelters?
08:03I'm calling it.
08:04If anybody doesn't make it to that finish line, it's them two.
08:06Oh, here.
08:09What was that earlier where you and Drew?
08:11What was what?
08:12You know what.
08:13You like him.
08:15He's all right, aye.
08:16He's not your usual type, mind.
08:18Meaning?
08:19Meaning you usually go for, oh, how do I put it?
08:23Older guys with fat wallets and unsuspecting wives.
08:26Well, look where that's caught me.
08:28I like that he's a bit different.
08:29Maybe it's about time I start putting value on the person underneath.
08:33Aww.
08:35Gigi Junior's got hidden depths.
08:37Who knew?
08:37Thanks for coming, Scarlet.
08:43And can I just say it again, how sorry I am for the other week.
08:47Aye, never mind that now.
08:48Bubba's on his way up.
08:49And see when he gets here, we need to all rally around him.
08:52Because he's not been too good lately.
08:53How?
08:55There's this new lassie on the scene.
08:58Alice.
08:58Runs a yoga in Merchant's yard.
09:01She's lovely.
09:01Oh, is that right, aye?
09:03Anywho, she doesn't feel the same way.
09:06So he's been quite doing about it.
09:08So we need to lift the boy's spirits.
09:09Goat it.
09:11Here he is.
09:12Good to see you, pal.
09:13Take a wee seat, my darling.
09:16All right.
09:17Right, let's get straight to it, shall we?
09:20Christmas dinner.
09:21Now, it goes without saying that turkey will be the centrepiece with plenty of roasties.
09:28Wait till you try, mums.
09:30They're all crispy on the outside and pure fluffy on the inside.
09:32Oh, that secret dies with me, by the way.
09:35Bob, any thoughts?
09:38Eh, how about carrots?
09:42And parsnips.
09:44Sprouts, obviously.
09:45Oh, nay danger.
09:47Who in the right mind likes those monstrosities?
09:49Aye, never mind.
09:52Addy!
09:53What?
09:54What's Christmas dinner with a few wee sprouts on your plate?
09:59Actually, that is a fair point.
10:00Aye, they're meant to be good to you right enough.
10:04And we've got to get mushrooms.
10:08The pickled ones in a jar.
10:09Ooh, now you're talking.
10:11And since you're all going to eat so much effort, I'll bring a dish as well.
10:19And all yous need to try it.
10:21Good man.
10:22Well, far away.
10:23Onion rings.
10:25Soaked in eggnog.
10:26Eggnog?
10:28Sounds lovely, didn't it?
10:29Right, whisking on.
10:31What do you mean?
10:31I'm real enough the rankest combos for dinner.
10:34And none of yous are saying a word.
10:36What are you doing?
10:37I don't know what you're up to.
10:39But it's freaking me right out.
10:40So either somebody starts talking or I'm off.
10:43Oh, oh, oh.
10:55Piece of water.
11:01Oh, that's a pure ready.
11:02We're going to be joint last.
11:03That doesn't feel so good.
11:05Oh, it's all right for chugging all these sweets.
11:07How much more there is it?
11:08Oh, it's no longer.
11:09It's just a daft wee Santa dish.
11:14Halfway.
11:16Oh, please tell me I'm hallucinating.
11:19This can't be right.
11:30You are going to love me.
11:31What is it?
11:32Shortcut.
11:33It's dead easy.
11:35Through the woods.
11:36Over a wee burn.
11:38And it takes us out before the finish line.
11:41What do you think?
11:41I think you're a genius.
11:43All right.
11:44Wait, wait, wait.
11:49Go, go, go, go.
11:50If you've come to have a go, you can head straight back out again.
12:04I've had enough lectures to remind us about the protest.
12:07Look, that's not why we're here.
12:09No, no.
12:09We're just going to see how you and the wee man's doing.
12:11Oh, we're fine.
12:13Well, he's been a wee bit grizzly, but can't seem to settle in.
12:16Oh, that's granddad have a go, eh?
12:19There we go, eh?
12:19There we go, my pal.
12:22Are you all right there?
12:23Yeah.
12:23There we go.
12:27You looking after your mummy?
12:29Hmm?
12:30Because that's your job now.
12:32You're the man of the house.
12:33Why aren't you forgetting about Angus?
12:34Nope.
12:36Your daddy's what we call a head, the boy.
12:39She'd probably have to look after him or not.
12:42Like I said, we're not here for an argument.
12:46Look, we love you and we miss you.
12:50It's time for us all to move on as a family, eh?
12:53Hey, hey, hey, who's with us?
12:57No, it's nothing, I'm fine.
12:58Well, you don't seem fine.
13:03If you're struggling...
13:04I'm not.
13:06Have you seen the GP?
13:08Maybe you're suffering from postnatal depression.
13:11No shame in it, darling.
13:12What's the lassies get it?
13:13Your dad's right.
13:15You should talk to someone.
13:16I really don't think that's necessary.
13:18If anybody knows about mental health in this room, it's me.
13:21You don't need to see Gillian.
13:22I'll pay for you, go private.
13:23I'm not depressed.
13:28The council have asked me to resign.
13:38I need your help.
13:45I thought I told you to get lost.
13:46I've done satin's chipper.
13:48Yeah, so what else is new?
13:49It's a bit what happened to the dual pods.
13:50I'm not interested.
13:51Well, I think I'll you listen.
13:55I meant what I said before.
13:57I'm sick to the back teeth of you and your pathetic family dramas.
14:00That's definitely...
14:01No, Tyler.
14:01It's the same as it ever was.
14:04You screw up.
14:05Harry punishes you.
14:06You go running back for more.
14:09Eddie, please.
14:14You've picked your side, mate.
14:16It's not on me to bail you out anymore.
14:18So whatever it is you've got yourself into,
14:21you can get yourself out of it.
14:24It was me and you, lad.
14:28Finished.
14:33Listen, I appreciate what you're trying to do,
14:35but you don't need to worry about me.
14:37I know.
14:39We're sorry, bubba.
14:41I cannae believe youse were going to eat eggnog onion rings just for me.
14:46Oh, even the thought of it gives me the dry bulk.
14:48I was actually starting to come round to the idea.
14:51Look, me and Alice weren't even a thing.
14:54I hardly know her.
14:55And Mac seems like a nice guy, so all the best to them.
14:57I hope they'll be very happy together.
15:00Mac and Alice aren't together.
15:01Eh, be cute, you.
15:03This is adult chat.
15:04Eh, do they know?
15:06No.
15:07Mac's gay.
15:08Seriously?
15:10And you know this how?
15:11He told me.
15:12One of his ex-boyfriends used to be in the gaming.
15:15I can't believe you actually thought I was seeing Alice.
15:21Oh, man.
15:24I am such an eejit.
15:27You know what this means.
15:28Aye.
15:29There's hope for you yet, son.
15:34He's a wee bass.
15:35Shut up.
15:36Oh, Alice.
15:39Go on yourself.
15:46Looking a bit peaky.
15:47You want me to pass the sick bucket?
15:49But would you got that wee hill take it out of you back there?
15:52Me?
15:53I'm fine.
15:54You go all day.
15:55Please do.
15:56And take the eight-nine other way to Thursday, eh?
15:58Don't worry.
15:59When I get back on the bus, I'll ask the driver to wait for you.
16:03Oh, so close yet so far.
16:06Well, I think I've sprained it.
16:15Right.
16:16I'll get the medic.
16:17No.
16:17No, please don't.
16:19You know what they're like?
16:19They forced me to stop.
16:21Well, I'm near like the end.
16:23Right.
16:24Oh, God.
16:26Well, what's the point?
16:32You're right.
16:33I look like a big goose.
16:35Actually, I said chicken.
16:41What was I thinking, eh?
16:42I'm not a runner.
16:44I cannae even walk to the end.
16:46And now the charity will get no pennies, eh?
16:48Baby, you can't give up now.
16:51And just think how proud Drew'll be when he sees his mum crossing that line.
16:55I cannae.
16:55I cannae put my weight on it.
16:58Right.
16:59But I guess we'll just be finishing this thing together then, eh?
17:03Come on.
17:04Here, watch.
17:06I've got you.
17:08I want to be a dick last, don't I?
17:09I'll be back.
17:12See you, Mary.
17:33How you feeling?
17:47Like a building film.
17:53We were so worried about you.
18:01Where have you been?
18:02I just had to make a call.
18:07Do you want some water?
18:08No.
18:09I just want a word.
18:12What about?
18:15I'm first.
18:16I'll just be outside.
18:21I'm glad to see you're doing well.
18:35So, any idea of what happened?
18:47I was looking into it, but do you think it was a targeted attack?
18:59I mean, it was deliberate.
19:06A kind of psychopath would do something like that, eh?
19:09And why?
19:09I've got no idea.
19:14They'll need to be dealt with.
19:17Can I leave that with you?
19:18Yeah.
19:20Aye.
19:23Aye, whoever it is.
19:26I'll find them.
19:27Setting the fire to your own restaurant, eh?
19:38Oh, you think I did it?
19:39Oh, I know you did it.
19:43Because it's exactly what I would have done.
19:47Every torture place and they'd be forced to sign it out of someone else.
19:51It's bold.
19:53It's reckless.
19:54A wee bit unhinged, but...
19:57no-one like your feather.
20:01You're finally ready to sit at the big boys' table.
20:05Proud of your son.
20:12Now, give me a minute to catch my breath.
20:17And then go and get your ma.
20:20There's something I need to ask her.
20:27I thought this was supposed to be a shortcut.
20:33It was.
20:35It is.
20:35Well, shouldn't we rejoin the race by now?
20:37Well, can I be too far?
20:38Right, well, lead the way, maestro.
20:40I don't know where we're going.
20:41What do you mean you don't know where we're going?
20:42Check your phone.
20:43I've got no signal.
20:44We're in the middle of nowhere.
20:45There's probably not a phone mass around here for miles.
20:48Okay, hold on.
20:50Let me get this right.
20:51We are lost in the woods with no phone signal and no idea how to get out.
20:55That is an accurate assessment of our current predicament, yes.
20:59Only we would get ourselves stuck in a situation like this on the shortest day of the year.
21:02Well, technically winter solstice was yesterday.
21:04You cannot be trusted.
21:05What?
21:05Wait a minute, earlier on you were calling me a genius.
21:07Yeah, that was before you led us on the merry dance like the Pied Piper.
21:12What, you then?
21:13You've had your chance to navigate.
21:15Now it's my turn to get us out of here.
21:16Eh, I think you're going the wrong way.
21:18Well, why not you go that way and I'll go this way
21:20and then at least one of us will make it out alive.
21:29Slow down.
21:34I had no idea that's why you were feeling down.
21:37Oh, the last few days have been really tough.
21:39If it's money you're worried about, don't be.
21:41It's not that.
21:43But you love your job.
21:45Are you really going to resign?
21:47What choice do I have?
21:51I really thought that I could juggle being a working mum
21:54with helping out with the oyster campaign, but it turns out I've just
21:58spread myself too thin and let everyone down.
22:00You didn't let anybody down.
22:02You're a brilliant mum.
22:03That's not a mess.
22:04Yeah, your dad's right.
22:05Just concentrate on being there for Teddy these first few months.
22:09And, you know, if you do resign, you'll find something else.
22:12But only when you're feeling ready.
22:15Things will get better soon.
22:16I promise.
22:33I'll leave you to it.
22:34I'll leave you to it.
22:38You just wait where you are.
22:39You need to hear us, you know.
22:44I'm no contagious.
22:45Come closer.
22:46Now, when I started cutting my teeth out on the east end, I lived by one principle.
22:57I always trust your gut.
23:01And I believe that that's what's got me to where on the day.
23:06And yet, in the last wee while, you've come back into my life.
23:11And I've been asking myself why.
23:14Harry.
23:15I don't know.
23:18I mean, at first, I thought you were just back to ruin me.
23:23But since the fire, I've been putting things together.
23:27And now I realise who you truly are.
23:36The only woman I've ever loved.
23:41Coming close to death, I'll remind you.
23:45Life's too short to play games.
23:52Now, in order to survive and expand, an empire needs to be built and strong.
23:57Foundations.
23:58Otherwise, your enemies will see you as weak and vulnerable.
24:03I think it's time to be sure what ever did that the folks is.
24:08Are united.
24:10And more powerful than we've ever been.
24:20Vivian and Barton.
24:23Will you give me your hand in marriage?
24:27Of course I will.
24:34You've made me a very happy man.
24:36Not as happy as you've made me.
24:39Trust me.
24:40Last but not least, another runner who broke their previous record.
24:59Give it up for Dean.
25:01Yay!
25:02Yay!
25:02Go on yourself, son.
25:03Cheers, cheers.
25:04And well done, Drew, for putting this all together.
25:07I'm just glad we could help a bunch of good causes.
25:09Yay!
25:09Well done, everyone, Dave.
25:10That's nice, isn't it?
25:11You and Karen are no longer frenemies then?
25:16Oh, if you cannae forgive your pills at Christmas, when can you?
25:19Yeah, I thought she'd join in the celebrations.
25:21Nah, she needed a hot bath with plenty of Epsom salt.
25:23I assume Tommy's not here either.
25:26Everybody's drum like flies.
25:27Yeah, speaking of which, anyone seen Mikey or Emma?
25:30I passed them about halfway through the course.
25:33Looked like they're ready to bail.
25:34Aye, they've been an old show for the bus as well.
25:36Doubly jumped in a taxi when nobody was looking.
25:38Aye, they'll be sat home, feet up.
25:40Takeaway ordered, sharing a wee bottle of rosé.
25:42That sounds like bliss.
25:45Feels like we're going round in circles.
25:47You seriously can't be blaming me right now.
25:49Look, I was just saying.
25:50Well, don't just say.
25:51If it wasn't for your hair-brained, I have a shortcut idea,
25:53then we wouldn't even be in this mess.
25:54Would you stop yelling at me?
25:56I feel bad enough as it is.
25:57I haven't even started on you yet.
26:04Well, I guess I miss my drinks, would you?
26:05Yeah, a funny story to tell the kids.
26:13Eh, what are you doing?
26:14Look, I can't go on. I need a rest.
26:15Oh, we can't stop now. It'll get dark soon.
26:18I'll make you your phone.
26:19What, I've got no signal?
26:20No, make an emergency call. You don't need signal for that.
26:23This is hardly an emergency.
26:24We'll get done for wasting police time.
26:36I'm sorry.
26:38For what? Leading us into the upside down?
26:43This is the central Lowlands, not stranger things.
26:51You look like your mum when you're angry.
26:52Do you want me to leave you here? Because I will.
26:54Well, on the bright side, if we don't come home,
27:02she will send out a search party.
27:08No, come on. We're not ending up in the news.
27:10We're getting out of here, even if it takes us all night.
27:12I mean, it's bad enough that we didn't finish the race,
27:14then we didn't make it to the post-run drinks,
27:16and now we're going to have to explain to everybody why.
27:17I mean, this is absolutely monopying.
27:20Come on, Mikey.
27:22Great, now we're stuck in the woods.
27:24It's going to be dark soon,
27:25and you've decided to get in touch with Mother Nature.
27:30Mikey, what is it?
27:31Emma, don't stay back.
27:34Oh, my God.
27:36Oh, my God.
27:38Who's that?
27:41We need to get the police.
27:45I think we've found a body.
27:49You're not actually going to marry her.
27:54Don't worry, you'll get an invite.
27:55You were trying to get away from him the other day.
27:57Alex, I know what I'm doing.
27:59It could be Jonathan's body that Mikey found.
28:02You need to phone your associates
28:03and find out exactly where they buried him.
28:05They won't know.
28:07Not only want to.
28:08Now, this is horrible.
28:09Don't hatch it, Jo.
28:10They found a corpse in the woods,
28:11but this is what they want to write about.
28:13I'm sorry she lost her job.
28:14No, yeah, no.
28:15I need a favor.
