00:00I
00:30Know thine enemy. First rule the war.
00:34Which is why I think I'll keep you where you are.
00:38So this is a war then, yeah?
00:41Cool.
00:43I hope Robert was right about you.
00:45Is death or something seriously going wrong in your brain?
00:52Now, the difference between you and me is that you're a blunt instrument.
01:00I'm trained for this.
01:03So what exactly is your plan?
01:06Well go on then. Tell me all about it.
01:09I know how you're gagging too.
01:14Yeah, bit busy right now.
01:16Things to do.
01:18People to get in my sights.
01:20You know how it is.
01:26I didn't want this.
01:28But you and your little revenge scheme got in my way.
01:30Oh, sorry.
01:31I might as well use it to my advantage.
01:34Oh.
01:35Not if I've got anything to do with who you want.
01:38Hm.
01:40You keep telling yourself that.
01:43Like we said,
01:44there's every indication that what you heard was poachers.
01:47Poachers?
01:48Right okay, and what did you think we were?
01:50Rabbits?
01:51Look, we've already put out a full description.
01:53Ports and airports have all been alerted.
01:55If your husband's out there, we'll find him.
01:57And what if he starts taking poachers in the meantime?
01:59Or even worse, one of them actually hits us.
02:01Look, I'm afraid we've found nothing significant in the woods to indicate they're up to him.
02:04Alright.
02:05That is Kev's wedding ring.
02:07And that is a bullet.
02:10Is that significant enough for you?
02:12Look, I know this must be unnerving.
02:13Without any proof of intent or ownership.
02:14Does the ring have an inscription?
02:15No.
02:16Then I'm afraid it proves nothing.
02:17Look, er, thanks for the update.
02:18We appreciate it.
02:19As it's Christmas.
02:20Erm.
02:21If we can think of anything else, we'll let you know.
02:22Likewise.
02:23For now, just...

02:40just...
02:41try not to worry.
02:43Brilliant.
02:44Thanks.
02:45Waste of time that was.
02:49Come on.
02:50I know you're scared, but...
02:51Scared?
02:52I'm not scared.
02:53I'm wound up.
02:54There's a big difference.
02:55It's our first Christmas back together and Kev's ruining it.
02:57That'll be Vic.
03:01I told her we'd go for a Boxing Day walk, but...
03:03if...
03:04you don't want to, then...
03:05Well, let that little psycho win.
03:06No chance.
03:07Uh...
03:08sorry for...
03:10turning up unannounced, but I saw Charity heading off, so...
03:13Yeah, I know.
03:14She, um...
03:15popped to go and see Chas.
03:17Left me to...
03:18tidy up this bomb site, so if you're looking for a torrid affair...
03:23it will need to wait.
03:24Judging by the state of you, I think I'll pass.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Yeah, I'm probably too young for you anyway.
03:31Heh.
03:32Yeah.
03:33That's fine.
03:34You be smart.
03:35I'll, er...
03:36not bother showing you these pictures of Ruben opening his Christmas presents.
03:39Whoa, whoa.
03:40Ruben?
03:41Are you winding me up?
03:43Why else would I be here smelling your stale boozy breath?
03:46Wow.
03:47Look at him.
03:48He's so big.
03:49Proper little lad.
03:50He's lush.
03:51Do you think that, that Chloe would mind if I had these?
04:07If I told her.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Which I'm not gonna.
04:13Because it's Christmas, you're his dad, and you deserve to know how he's doing.
04:24That means the world. It's amazing. Thank you.
04:26Don't thank me.
04:27Thank Amy.
04:31I asked myself what she would do if she was still here, and...
04:35This is it.
04:38She was always a much nicer person than me.
04:42Yeah, well, I can't help but think that there's a catch in there somewhere, but whatever it is, I'll take it.
04:47You alright? Just looking a little bit green around the old gills.
04:50Actually, I think I'm gonna pop upstairs.
04:52Oh, okay. Wow.
04:54See, see myself out.
05:03Sorry about being on call. Hopefully I won't be too busy.
05:06It's probably good to have a distraction, let's face it.
05:08What could do with the money coming in?
05:09Well, even so, I'd still rather be with my family.
05:12Are you gonna be okay doing this on your own?
05:15Wish me what?
05:16Please be careful.
05:17Nice family Christmas, tucked up with your cosy little bubble.
05:30Have you ever, um...
05:31Have you replaced your odds?
05:33No.
05:35Beautiful.
05:36Listen, it's 100 short, but I can get the rest when the bank opens in the morning.
05:45Nah. You alright?
05:47Season of goodwill and all that.
05:49Fact!
05:50Why don't we call us the last payment?
05:55Why would you do that?
05:57Erm...
05:58Do I need a reason?
05:59No, but I...
06:00Well, you're off the hook.
06:02Merry Christmas.
06:04If I was you?
06:05I'd leave it at that.
06:06Yeah.
06:11Oh!
06:13Nicola's inside, nursing a small but beautifully formed hangover.
06:18It's not Christmas if you don't indulge a little bit, is it?
06:21Oh, I see what you mean.
06:24What did you two do when you left mine?
06:26Somebody had got Jimmy a game of shot glass tic-tac-toe.
06:30Oh, and Jimmy won?
06:31No, but I must have a better tolerance than her.
06:35Plus, Nicola insisted that all of her shots were Irish cream.
06:41Don't even say those words out loud, Jimmy.
06:44Guess he's doing the cooking today.
06:46And clearing up half Nicola.
06:47Oh, I don't mind.
06:49We had such a good time at yours yesterday.
06:51A proper Christmas.
06:53I know it was good, wasn't it?
06:55Ray took everything in his stride and he doesn't think we're too crazy.
06:57Well, he seemed like a top bloke and he seemed to fit in all right.
07:02He did, didn't he?
07:04Were your ears burning?
07:06Why, what have I done?
07:08Oh, Jimmy was just saying what a lovely time he'd had.
07:10Two families enjoying Christmas. Doesn't get more festive than that.
07:14Oh, yeah, yeah, made a nice change. I haven't had that much of a laugh for a long time.
07:17Celia didn't mind that we stole you?
07:20No, Christmas has never been her thing.
07:22It's nice to see what normal people do.
07:24Oh, do you hear that, Jimmy? He thinks we're normal.
07:25Well, here's to many more.
07:28And if you ever fancy a pint or a game of golf, make a call.
07:34I think you've got a fan there.
07:37Maybe you're contagious.
07:39Do you want coffee?
07:41Er, well, I've got to make a few calls first. No rest, but later, definitely.
07:46Yeah, I think I've got time.
07:48Good.
07:50I mean, look at the size of him.
07:53He's absolutely full of beans by all accounts.
07:56Can you believe it?
07:57What, that they grow up so fast? Yeah, too right I can.
07:59Into right lazy efforts.
08:01Moses, are you coming down to help me tidy up this mess?
08:04Charity, I'm trying to share this with you.
08:06Sorry. Ignore me.
08:07I just, I can't wait to actually get my feet up and veg out.
08:12PHONE RINGS
08:14Oh, no. Just ignore it.
08:16Please, it's Christmas.
08:18PHONE RINGS
08:20Moira, can I, can I give you a call back only?
08:23I...
08:25Sorry, you want me to do what?
08:28Moira, it's, it's...
08:31Moira, it's Boxing Day and I'm hungover.
08:36We are not going out, by the way.
08:38Lazy day, you promised.
08:40The kids having a film.
08:44Right, fine, okay.
08:46What's the address?
08:48Yeah, hang on. I need to write that down. One second.
08:51I need to take off this.
08:55Sorry.
08:57Right, see you again?
08:59Fine, yeah, okay.
09:01Yeah, I've got it.
09:05Okay.
09:07Okay, so...
09:09The bull has gone walkabout, again.
09:11So I need to go in, I need to go and get it.
09:13Listen, why don't you tidy this up with Moses,
09:16and then I can come back, we can watch the film,
09:18we can lock the door and shut the world out.
09:19Alright?
09:21I'm really sorry.
09:23I love you.
09:24Oh.
09:25Bye.
09:31Big call for partner, you think?
09:33I told you to wear your Christmas long pants.
09:36True.
09:38See?
09:42That's it.
09:44Smile your last smile.
09:45Smile your last smile.
10:04Uncle Buffet!

10:21I've already got my Christmas drink right here
10:22in its very own hip flask, thanks to Robert.
10:25Obviously not for Harry, but...
10:26No, it sounds good to me.
10:27Robert, you up for it?
10:33You okay?
10:35Oh yeah, you know, I just thought I'd heard something.
10:37Well, Father Christmas is long gone by now.
10:41You ready?
10:42Yeah.
10:43Let's do it.
10:45Yeah, Robert's on it.

10:51I don't know.
10:52I don't know.
10:53Right?
10:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
11:18How was your Christmas?
11:19Busy with family, I imagine.
11:20Oh, tell me about it.
11:21I'm only working here today to escape the mayhem at home.
11:23I'm sure there are people who would...
11:24die for what you have.
11:25What?
11:26Yeah.
11:27Ray told me.
11:28You don't really do Christmas.
11:29how was your christmas busy with family i imagine oh tell me about it i'm only working here today
11:44to escape the mayhem at home i'm sure there are people who would die for what you have
11:50yeah ray told me you don't really do christmas you should have joined us us well ray obviously
11:58me nico laurel the kids it would have been the more the merrier well it sounds like you managed
12:05to have a good time without me didn't ray tell you about it we're not that kind of family well
12:12i'm sorry you missed out and that son of yours well he's a great blog he really made himself at home
12:19what more could a mother ask for thank you
12:28i heard you were moping in here still brooding over me and your grandad i think it's a bit more than
12:34that don't you uh how would you know if all you do is kick off and think the worst of him he could have
12:38at least talked to me about it first yes i'll admit we didn't handle it brilliantly but what we're doing
12:43is for the right reasons for you maybe i'm telling the truth i am not marrying eric for his money
12:51jacob i've done this to save your inheritance yeah right it's complicated it's paying for care
12:59something about tax maybe if you spoke to him yourself you would find out and it would just
13:03save us all a lot more arguments yeah but why would ray drop the payments what's in it for him
13:13you don't think he's going to make april deal again do you i mean what other reason could there be
13:17have you talked to april i mentioned it to her before she went out asked if he'd approached her or
13:20you know put any pressure on and well she seems to think that celia and ray are going to move away
13:25before they get caught but that's a good thing isn't it well for us maybe not for the victims in the next
13:31turn i wasn't petrified i'd call the police myself but you won't because if they go then
13:38it's over and we're free if they're not here then they they can't hurt us anymore i don't even think
13:46about that i mean they've they've put us through so much if we're finally free from them we can focus
13:54on being a family again yeah maybe i need to talk to my mom i know i've got a lot of making up to do but
13:59but if i tell her the truth then she might come back who knows we might just get our lives back
