00:00We need to report, Cap, to the police.
00:21I've explained this. He's not a threat to us anymore.
00:23He's set fire to our trees. He's going to smash my windscreen.
00:25And what happens if he follows us to meet Angela?
00:27He won't.
00:27He's not going to cause us any more grief.
00:30And you honestly believe that?
00:31Hey, what time are you off to see Angela?
00:33There's no point going now.
00:35Why not?
00:35Well, how can she trust that we'll look after Seb when he's psycho-ex,
00:38waging a war of terror?
00:39I ain't got time for this. I'm going to work.
00:40Yeah, perfect. Very maturely. You just walk away from it all, yeah?
00:44He's got to let Kev off the hook.
00:45And you're playing right into his hands.
00:48Kev's trying to tear the two of you apart, and you're letting him.
00:51So you think I should back down?
00:52Yes, I do.
00:53Because today isn't about Kev or Ross, it's about Angela.
00:56And proving that you can look after Seb if you want him back where he belongs.
01:00So please, go and sort it out.
01:02Ta-da!
01:12Ta-da!
01:12You look amazing.
01:21I do, don't I?
01:23I can't believe we're actually doing this.
01:24People are going to be so shocked.
01:26Well, yeah, that's when anyone turns up.
01:28Maura and Chas are saying they can't come now. We've changed their time.
01:30Grandad and Charity will be there.
01:32That's all that matters.
01:35Sarah, this is honestly the happiest day of my life.
01:37Me too.
01:39Eric!
01:40What are you doing?
01:42Hurry up!
01:43I'm going to put this on.
01:44I'm going to hold legs.
01:45I'm going to put this on.
01:48What are you two doing here?
01:54We live here.
01:56And what's with the suit?
01:57It's for this afternoon.
01:59It's only a gender reveal party.
02:00You don't need to dress up.
02:01Are you planning on making an effort?
02:02Yeah, once I get the chance.
02:06I don't think they want us here.
02:09Do they?
02:10Right.
02:12See you later.
02:14Don't be late.
02:17It was close.
02:19I didn't think they suspected anything.
02:20Who cares?
02:21It's about you and me.
02:22Lids, come on.
02:34You've got to be there.
02:36Moira and Char have already bailed.
02:37I'm sorry.
02:38I've got a million things to do before tomorrow.
02:40Well, Sarah wants the whole family there.
02:43Whole family where?
02:44Gender reveal party.
02:45Very important to her.
02:46Then she should have picked a better day.
02:48I mean, who's got spare time on Christmas Eve?
02:50There's free booze.
02:51Yes, that's why I'm definitely going.
02:53Thank you, Sammy.
02:54Spread the word.
02:57You're any ones for a free beer, you, aren't you?
02:59Aye.
03:00Money's tight.
03:01And it always will be,
03:02especially now you've been written out of Kim's will.
03:04Yeah, we've never had much cash,
03:05but we've always got by.
03:08Why are you making another trifle?
03:10That one's for Kim.
03:12Oh, right.
03:12So she sacks us and you're making her a dessert?
03:15Sam, we sacked ourselves after what we did.
03:17And she's been having a really difficult time since the accident.
03:19She's still my friend.
03:22She don't think so.
03:23She told you to get stuffed.
03:25Yeah, well, I never turn my back on those clothes to me,
03:27especially not at Christmas.
03:30You'll be coming home wearing that trifle.
03:32Maybe.
03:34But at least I'll have tried.
03:35Oh, come on.
03:40No!
03:46Hello.
03:47Problem?
03:48Yeah, my battery's flat.
03:50Today of all days.
03:52Well, why swerging?
03:54Well, I've got that meeting at the brewery, haven't I?
03:56Well, I can take you if you want.
03:58Oh, babe, no.
03:59You've been up since five.
04:00Don't worry about it.
04:01Look, there's Vanessa.
04:02I'll get her to take me.
04:03Are you sure?
04:04Yeah, you get some rest.
04:06All right.
04:07Cheers, mate.
04:08You're a pal.
04:16How am I a pal?
04:17Because I need to get to the clinic for those tests.
04:19So you'll have to give me a lift.
04:26Have to.
04:26OK, fine.
04:28Pretty please.
04:30Are you going to get a paternity test while you're there?
04:32No, because I don't need to.
04:34Well, you do.
04:35It's a strong chance this baby's Mackenzie's.
04:37Do you know what, Vanessa?
04:38Forget it.
04:38I'll just...
04:39I'll get a taxi, all right?
04:40I don't need you pecking my head right now.
04:42Just, if anyone asks,
04:43will you just say that you gave me a lift to the brewery?
04:45I think I should apologise.
05:11And you agree with her?
05:12I just want Kev out of our lives.
05:16Yeah, so do I.
05:18We could report him,
05:20but that would mean
05:21spending Christmas Eve at a police station
05:22giving statements.
05:25Wouldn't you rather meet up with Angela?
05:27Show what a great couple we are.
05:30When you put it like that,
05:31yeah.
05:33Kev's in the past.
05:35Right?
05:36He's not in our lives anymore.
05:38The future is me, you and Seb.
05:42What was that?
05:44Get down.
05:45Get down.
05:55I hear you and your lot
05:57have moved into one of the cottages
05:58on Home Farmers Day.
05:59Was that Kim's idea or yours?
06:00I assume she won't be joining in
06:03your engagement celebrations.
06:05Who's getting engaged?
06:07Him and Dawn.
06:08I thought she turned you down.
06:09No.
06:10That was yesterday, Jimmy.
06:12Try and keep up.
06:13How's Kim doing?
06:14Your guess is as good as mine.
06:19Oh, he's not giving away much.
06:22There you are.
06:23Good.
06:24So, how's your dad and Rona?
06:29How do you think?
06:30They can't afford to keep
06:31forking out thousands of pounds a week.
06:33Think of it as their way of
06:35showing how much they love you.
06:39Okay, fine.
06:40You win.
06:42I'll start working for you again
06:43as long as you agree
06:44to leave them alone.
06:45April,
06:46you don't call the shots.
06:48You know that.
06:49How's Dylan?
06:52I understand.
06:53He could be discharged imminently.
06:55Do hope he's going to behave himself.
06:57Well, he's not going to say anything
06:58if that's what you're worried about.
06:59I'm not remotely worried.
07:02Ray and I will be gone soon.
07:03Pasture's new, literally.
07:05It doesn't pay to loiter
07:07in one place for too long.
07:09So we won't be seeing you anymore?
07:11Well, you will, obviously.
07:14You will be coming with us.
07:18What's going on?
07:19What's happened?
07:20Kev tried to kill us.
07:22What?
07:23Yeah, we were in a field
07:24and we were shot at.
07:26And it was definitely Kev?
07:27This would never have happened
07:28if you'd have called the police yesterday.
07:29Well, please tell me
07:30that you've called them now.
07:31Yeah, obviously.
07:32We still need to stay inside
07:33with the doors locked
07:34until they get here.
07:35And what about Angela?
07:37Well, Kev might follow us
07:38to the meeting and go after her.
07:40So we're just going to have to put it off
07:41until they find him.
07:45You could find so many other kids
07:47that would do what I do.
07:48Oh, don't underestimate yourself, April.
07:51You are a very talented young woman
07:53and I promise you,
07:54in a few years' time,
07:56you'll be a very rich young woman.
07:58I'll be a drug dealer.
08:00We already are.
08:05My dad, I'll go to the police
08:06if I disappear.
08:07I'm not suggesting you disappear.
08:09You will explain to your father
08:10that you are leaving
08:11of your own free will
08:12and he must respect that.
08:15I don't know.
08:16OK, well,
08:19you have a little think about it
08:22and let me know tomorrow.
08:25What?
08:25Tomorrow's Christmas Day here?
08:27What difference does that make?
08:32Sarah,
08:33this is Anton and Tilda.
08:36Hi.
08:37They're going to be our witnesses.
08:38They're up next after us
08:39and we've agreed to return the fame.
08:41Thank you so much.
08:42This is so exciting.
08:45Oh,
08:45looks like you need these.
08:46Oh, thank you.
08:49You all right?
08:51Are we doing the right thing?
08:52What, are you having doubts?
08:55No, I just...
08:56I didn't think it'd be this nerve-wracking.
08:58It's good nerves, though, right?
09:00Yeah.
09:01You ready?
09:02Yeah.
09:03Yeah.
09:16Congratulations.
09:19Grandad?
09:19Is that a wedding ring?
09:25Erm...
09:25Surprise!
09:39You've married Kerry.
09:40You just let me explain.
09:42She's wearing a wedding ring.
09:44What's there to explain?
09:45This is purely a financial arrangement.
09:47Shh.
09:48Why are you giving him money to Kerry?
09:49No, no, no, no.
09:50He's not.
09:51He's not.
09:51I'm just keeping it safe.
09:53What are you talking about?
09:54Anyway, never mind you having a go at us.
09:56What are you two doing
09:57sneaking around a registry office
09:58all bright and green?
10:00Honestly, Jacob?
10:02How could you?
10:04Your wedding day is a big event
10:06which should have all the trimmings.
10:08It was supposed to be.
10:10Was it?
10:10Yeah.
10:11We were going to get everyone to the pub
10:12and then bring them here
10:13for this surprise wedding.
10:15Oh.
10:15But you lied to me.
10:17Said that you had some important meeting
10:19when you made out
10:20that you weren't even available.
10:21I would have made myself available
10:23had I known that you were getting married.
10:26You should have told me.
10:27Well, we're all here now, aren't we?
10:29So why don't we just crack on
10:31and make it a big double celebration?
10:33No.
10:34You can forget it.
10:35I did this for you.
10:37And you've gone behind my back.
10:40Excuse me.
10:41Sorry, I'm going to have to...
10:43You look absolutely gorge, by the way.
10:50Are we doing this?
10:51I can't.
10:52I don't know.
10:54It's OK.
10:55We'll come back another time.
10:57Do it properly.
10:58I'm so sorry.
10:59Don't worry.
11:00Would you like to come through?
11:05I think we're going to need them.
11:10We've done a full sweep of the area.
11:12We're always out there.
11:13It's gone now.
11:13Well, if Kev comes back...
11:15He's trying to kill us.
11:16Did you actually see Mr Townsend?
11:18No.
11:19We didn't see anyone.
11:20Who else could it be?
11:21Well, there's been a lot of poachers recently.
11:23They've been talked in local farms and estates.
11:25It's not poachers.
11:26It's Kev.
11:26You need to find him.
11:27We're already looking for Mr Townsend.
11:29It's only a matter of time now until we track him down.
11:31And meanwhile, he's free to take pop shots at us, is he?
11:34Look, can you actually prove that he fired the shots?
11:36Useless.
11:37He's doing all he can.
11:38Look, we'll investigate this thoroughly.
11:40Patrol the village for the rest of the day.
11:42Just try not to worry.
11:44It's easier said than done on all.
11:46I'll let myself out.
11:51Um, sorry, why is there a police car in the village?
11:53Is there?
11:54Yeah.
11:55I hope it's not down to any of you lot.
11:57Last thing I need right now is anyone getting arrested at my granddaughter's gender reveal party.
12:03As if.
12:04How is the meeting?
12:05Oh, fine, babe.
12:06Same old boring.
12:07More free bubbly?
12:09Don't mind if I do.
12:10Right, Sam.
12:11I thought you were more of a beer drinker.
12:13Hey, I'll drink out if it costs out.
12:16Man after my own heart.
12:18Noah, why are we giving away champagne?
12:20Because Bob's all in there.
12:21It's all covered.
12:22Courtesy of Eric.
12:23Come on.
12:24What?
12:25So anyway, where are Sarah and Jacob?
12:26I must have got to get here on time.
12:28Yeah, Eric.
12:28Can you call your grandson?
12:30Tell him to get his skates on.
12:31OK.
12:34Tell me he'll pick up.
12:36Do you think I overreacted?
12:38Do you?
12:39It was a shock, them getting married behind my back.
12:44Jacob will be fine, man.
12:46He'll be giddy because he's married.
12:48Will he?
12:49I know I am.
12:51Mrs Pollard V.
12:54Six, actually.
12:55Oh, it's all very Henry VIII.
12:59Hopefully, you saved the best till last.
13:02Eric, I'm joking.
13:07I know nobody would ever replace your Valerie with the...
13:10Oh, finally!
13:12OK, er, please allow me to introduce...
13:17The newly married couple.
13:21Woo!
13:22Woo!
13:23What?
13:25So is it a boy or a girl?
13:27Try and keep up, eh?
13:29You married?
13:30Surprise!
13:31Well, it's certainly news to me and your granddad.
13:34Yeah, well, you would have known about it if you hadn't been so difficult.
13:36Sorry, how is any of this my fault?
13:38Well, it doesn't matter anyway because we didn't go through with it.
13:40Why not?
13:42Ask him and Kerry.
13:44His new wife.
13:46Who beat us to the altar.
13:48Oh, that's a joke, right?
13:55What?
14:01What are you doing here?
14:04Christmas cards.
14:06From Evan.
14:08And from Clanny.
14:09And from Lucas.
14:12Any excuse to try and worm your way back in?
14:16Come on, Kim.
14:18It's Christmas.
14:19Oh, and Dawn, she wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow.
14:25She wants to celebrate our engagement.
14:29Feel free to congratulate me.
14:31I'm busy tomorrow.
14:34You can pretend like you don't care, but we saw you watching us yesterday.
14:40At least come for the sake of the grandkids.
14:42They're not mine.
14:45They are when it suits you.
14:47It's cruel to disown them.
14:48They've done nothing wrong.
14:50Well, you should have thought about that before you moved out.
14:53You question my loyalty.
14:56How are we supposed to regain trust if you won't talk to me?
14:59You're still here.
15:02OK.
15:04The invite's there if you want it.
15:06I won't.
15:08Sir, this isn't a wind-up.
15:10Read it and weep.
15:13What's going on?
15:15Her and Eric have just got wed.
15:20V.A.
15:21It's true.
15:22And I've never been happy.
15:24Eww.
15:26I thought you'd be happy for us.
15:29We are.
15:30Hardly.
15:31I've been stressed out all day, and this is just the icing on the cake.
15:33Stressed out about what?
15:34Hang on, is everything OK with the baby?
15:36Don't change the subject, young lady.
15:38How could you do this to me?
15:39I hope you're going to back me up here, Cain.
15:41If it's what they want.
15:42I don't care what they want.
15:44Do you know what?
15:44After everything I've done for you...
15:46Don't have a go at me.
15:47We wanted you at the wedding.
15:48You're the one that kept saying you were too busy.
15:49Yeah, because I thought it was just some gender reveal party.
15:52And this was the excuse to get everyone together.
15:54Right, well, cheers for the heads up, Belle.
15:55Oh, typical Grant.
15:57Just blame everyone but yourself.
15:58Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it, but we didn't even get married in the end,
16:01so I don't know what you're complaining about.
16:03And do you know what?
16:03You think you're hard done by.
16:04At least you didn't get beaten to the altar by them two in their sham wedding.
16:08Sarah!
16:10Nice one, Charity.
16:12Erm, can I have a word?
16:14Get lost, Grandad.
16:15I'm confused.
16:20So who's married and who's not?
16:22Just keep your head down and it's so popular.
16:24£4.50, please.
16:25Sam!
16:26Aye?
16:26Sorry, he's only paying for the shampers.
16:29Kerry, what did Sarah mean by sham wedding?
16:33She's just upset because we upstaged her.
16:36This is 100% genuine.
16:39I love Eric to bits.
16:41It's like a dad to us.
16:43Who marries the dad?
16:45Kerry and I have grown close since she started to look after me.
16:51Hey, it's not a crime, is it?
16:53It should be.
16:53All right, well, if they're in love, let's leave them both to it.
16:59Are you going to kiss your bride then, Eric?
17:00Oh, no, we don't kiss in public.
17:02Well, I know he's not that hideous.
17:05Kiss.
17:06Kiss.
17:07Kiss.
17:08Kiss.
17:09Kiss.
17:09Kiss.
17:09Kiss.
17:10Kiss.
17:11Kiss.
17:11Kiss.
17:11Kiss.
17:12Kiss.
17:12Kiss.
17:13Kiss.
17:13Kiss.
17:14Kiss.
17:15Kiss.
17:21Hardly the most passionate kiss I've ever seen.
17:23That's marriage for you.
17:25Oi.
17:25Oi.
17:34Lydia?
17:34Hi.
17:35Right, there's a turkey crown in the fridge.
17:38I've peeled potatoes and parsnips ready for roasting and a piece de resistance, my homemade
17:44prize-winning sherry trifle.
17:46OK, I haven't won any prizes, but people always woof it down.
17:49Do I look like I want charity?
17:51I was talking about charity.
17:53You cancelled your shop.
17:54I can't let you starve over Christmas.
17:56You owe me £33 and 37 pence.
17:59There's no rush whenever you're ready.
18:05You ungrateful mare!
18:08Yes, fine.
18:09Me and Sam were out of order by organising that shoot, but you have done far worse in your
18:13time.
18:13There's a million and one good reasons why most of my family ate your guts, so if you're
18:17expecting a grovelling apology, you can forget it.
18:19I want nothing from you.
18:22And I want nothing more from you.
18:25Do you know, it's such a waste of energy feeling sorry for you, but I tell you something, if
18:29tomorrow was a year since Sam's death, heaven forbid, I wouldn't want to spend it all sad
18:34and alone.
18:35Merry Christmas!
18:40Merry Christmas, daughter, wherever you are.
18:50Sir, who proposed to who, then?
18:52Did she coerce you into this?
18:54Old men can be very vulnerable.
18:56Hey, I'm not senile.
18:58Yet.
18:59It is very sudden.
19:01Then again, senile or not, at his age, can he afford to hang about?
19:05Still seems iffy to me.
19:07Oh, we love each other, okay?
19:10Get over it.
19:13You should tell everyone the truth.
19:16No, you can't do that to your grandad.
19:17He's ruined our big day.
19:18Well, not just him.
19:20Go away, gran.
19:22I come in peace.
19:24I think I went a bit over the top.
19:26Will you forgive me?
19:27We just wanted you to be happy for us.
19:29And I am!
19:30I just wish you'd have let me in on your little secret.
19:33I'd have dropped everything if I'd known it was your big day.
19:35But the bigger picture is, I'm so proud of you.
19:41So, should we do the honours?
19:46Belle?
19:47We're still having cake.
19:48Okay, Sarah, you cut the first slice.
19:52If it's pink, it's baby girl.
19:54If it's blue, it's baby boy.
19:56That's a bit sexist.
19:57Someone shut her up.
19:59Come on, then.
20:02Don't leave us all hanging.
20:07It's a girl!
20:09Oh, my God.
20:16Oh, no.
20:17Is that good or bad?
20:18Oh, it's amazing.
20:19It's what we were hoping for.
20:20Hiya, it's only us.
20:25Come on.
20:28Go.
20:29You all right, Harry?
20:30Shouldn't you be in bed, son?
20:31Well, I put him to bed hours ago.
20:34I'm not tired.
20:35So I'm relying on you two to wear him out.
20:37Go sit down for me.
20:38We'll do our best, but, er...
20:40As long as you feel safe being here.
20:43Full disclosure, I'll feel safer here than I do at home.
20:47Do you mind if we stay for a while?
20:48Well, I keep thinking that Kev's going to come after us.
20:51No, of course not.
20:52It's fine.
20:53You do know we wouldn't let Kev anywhere near either of you, though, don't you?
20:57No.
20:58Thanks.
21:02You already gave us a card?
21:04Oh, that's not from me.
21:05I found it downstairs on the map.
21:18What is it?
21:21Kev's wedding ring.
21:29Is that a bullet?
21:34He's not going to stop until he kills us.
21:36Oh, that's not from me.
22:06You
