02:49the kind of job I want right that was a one-off oh come on grumpy don't pretend like you
02:53didn't love
02:54it look it's something to take your mind off all of this and don't pretend like you don't need the
02:58money either Sarah you're not who you think you are you're not charity yeah and you're not a farmer
03:03but you're still making it work I'm having to rely on cammy at the garage whilst I try and run
03:09a farm
03:09yeah but you're actually getting things done pulling people in giving out jobs look I know you might be
03:14worn out but you're doing a good job of it that letter you were reading was it from the hospital
03:21it's just another bill that needs pain
03:32oh yes happy days whoa whoa hands off it's date night
03:38right and who's a very unlucky lady not for me idiot those two clowns you couldn't get it on if
03:43they
03:43were handcuffed together in a love shop what's a love shock somewhere you wouldn't be allowed in
03:50wait hang on do Lewis and Vinny even know about this not yet but the man with the plan has
03:54put
03:55wheels into motions what you're gonna sit them down make them eat pizza and stare into each other's eyes
04:03ah are you even gonna get them here because we're supposed to be having lunch with Lewis but
04:07I'm gonna pull out last minute Vinny's gonna get a text come and take my place and then voila
04:14without Vinny knowing he's gonna be taking your place correct though putting them together like
04:19two pieces in a two-piece jigsaw job as they say is a good one you didn't need to bring
04:25me back
04:25you know I am allowed to be out this tag they know where I am all the time it's gonna
04:40take some getting used to
04:42I think I'll never get used to it you're home now though I'll put the kettle on maybe stick around
04:51for a bit
05:00I do get it you know what you've been through must be difficult to open up about it all
05:10I talked to Ruby yesterday I mean it helped but I'm not sure it's solved anything though
05:20some things never get solved do they just about trying to wrap your head around it all
05:29but feeling anything for Ray even after everything he did
05:35might feel messed up but I think it's pretty normal
05:39they don't get it but I do though mate
05:44yeah but what you went through
05:45yeah I know I know it's not the same I get that but the messed up thing between an abuser
05:52and the victim
05:55when it happens it feels like your head's gonna explode
06:00it makes you question everything why me
06:06what did I do to deserve all this well the answer is nothing okay
06:08nothing I should hate him I do hate him all of his lives he ruins my life
06:20but there's still something there
06:28it just won't go away
06:32it's okay
06:45it's okay
06:57it's okay
07:15Only me!
07:25Oh, I didn't work you, did I?
07:27You look absolutely shattered.
07:28Another casserole?
07:29Lasagna?
07:30Can't have you going hungry, can we?
07:33I can cook, you know.
07:35Yeah, I know, but it's just one less thing to worry about.
07:37Lydia, I don't want people feeling sorry for me.
07:39I'm just cracking on.
07:41I'll just put it over here then, shall I?
07:46Is there anything else I can do for you while I'm here?
07:48Well, that's all good.
07:49If you need anything, anything at all, don't be too proud to ask.
08:12Go on, guys.
08:20Well, I think we both know what this means.
08:22If they're not here, then they're up there and my work is done.
08:25Oh, bro, how hot is it in here?
08:27You're not growing...
08:29Might have turned the heating up a little bit, for obvious reasons.
08:32All part of the master plan.
08:33Oh.
08:35Oh!
08:37Yeah, job definitely is a good'un.
08:39Yes!
08:40Sorry.
08:42I know where the car is.
08:43I just needed the keys.
08:45And now we can put it behind us.
08:49We can call it an error of judgement.
08:53We've all made them sometime.
08:56Well, you just made one breaking in here.
08:58Every action comes with a consequence.
09:00He said you did it, your master.
09:02I don't have a master.
09:03Owner.
09:04All we want is our car back.
09:09You know this is all down to him.
09:11He caused all of this.
09:13So if he wanted it back, why didn't he just come here himself?
09:16Then he could rip his throat out.
09:18You're not ripping anybody's throat out, Cain.
09:21You're not snapping anybody in half.
09:24They're just threats.
09:26And we both know...
09:30You're not in a position to back them up.
09:41I didn't come here for a fight.
09:43I can't.
09:44Oh.
09:46Oh.
09:49Oh.
09:51Oh.
09:51Oh.
09:53Oh.
09:54Oh.
09:55Oh.
09:56Oh.
09:58Oh.
09:59Oh.
09:59Oh.
10:05Oh.
10:09Yeah, I don't know if the five second rule will work with that.
10:13Go away
10:15Oh my god, what happened?
10:17Nothing
10:20Yeah, you might have missed a bit
10:22I said go away
10:24Come on man, I'm only joking
10:26Now
10:28What, you actually want me to go?
10:31Right, fine
10:32I brought a mop, helmet
10:34Because Mr Happy is in a really good mood today
10:40I don't want to wear it
10:42This isn't easy for me either, you know
10:43Your sister is in prison
10:46Is that lasagna?
10:47Well, it was
10:49I should have known it was too good to be true
10:51What was?
10:53This morning after yesterday
10:54It looked like you were getting it together
10:56Almost like you were in a bit of a better place
10:57Oh Nicole, it's a better place
10:58What, I just thought
10:59Yeah, you just thought wrong
11:02Why are you here?
11:03Hey, don't talk to me like that
11:04Look, we're all on your side
11:05Yeah, so I keep getting told
11:07Right, well maybe you should start listening
11:09Because you keep pushing people away
11:10But it won't be long before they don't come back
11:19Good work
11:20It's parked outside, I filled the tank
11:23Oh, did you wash it too?
11:24Give it a nice little polish
11:27Well, you said it
11:28If you want a job doing properly
11:30Didn't say how he did it
11:32If it was Kane
11:33It wasn't
11:35An estate a few miles away
11:37Kids
11:39Joyriders
11:40Really?
11:42Fun while it lasted, I'm sure
11:43Main thing
11:45It's back with its rightful owner
11:48I was
11:49I was 100% certain that it was him
11:52He's stupid
11:53I doubt that's stupid
11:54But he is that vindictive
11:56But this time he hasn't pulled the pin
11:59Obviously you wouldn't cover for that man
12:02I really hope you're not questioning my integrity, Kim
12:05Well, I'm not
12:06You did what you said you'd do
12:08I'm grateful
12:10Thank you
12:16You might have bought your story
12:18But I don't
12:19Not for a second
12:21And yet you weren't so blunt in front of Joel
12:24I wonder why
12:25Because right now there's a big difference between believing something
12:29And proving it
12:33It must be exhausting
12:36Living inside that bitter and twisted head of yours
12:39Oh, well, you see
12:42I'm used to playing the long game
12:44But you're not used to losing
12:59One question that hits me
13:01I've been telling you all the time
13:04How the hell could this happen to me?
13:08I mean, modern slavery or whatever you want to call it
13:10That's something that happens to other people
13:12Not me
13:15And Bill Wolf
13:17Nobody's ever thought of me as weak
13:20And no one thinks that now either
13:24Ray and Celia obviously did
13:27But when they found you
13:28You weren't in a good place
13:32They trapped me well at first
13:33Trapped me like a human being
13:38But then they put me in a much worse place
13:44If this was someone else
13:46I'd be telling them to get a grip
13:48Not to give that thing a second thought
13:52Even after everything he did
13:55Well, no one can tell you what should be going on in your head
13:57You live this, mate
13:58No one else
14:02I know how messed up it is
14:08I'm not sure how much
14:10Mandy and Paddy told you
14:12About my past
14:14I know enough
14:18Well, what I went through
14:20Yeah, it was different
14:23But it was
14:26Kind of the same
14:27In some ways
14:29I was abused by someone close to me
14:33Someone I was supposed to trust
14:36And then when all that got smashed to pieces
14:37I was all over the place
14:40And then when that
14:42Thing
14:43That hurt you so badly dies
14:44You think all of that's going to die with him, don't you?
14:47But
14:48It doesn't
14:52I keep hearing the same stupid word over and over again
14:56Closure
15:00Nothing's closed for me, is it?
15:04I just keep blaming myself
15:06Well, you can't do that, Bear
15:08You've done nothing wrong
15:11But Aaron
15:13You don't know the full story
15:17Nobody can know the full story
15:21I think I forgot just how fresh the air was in this part of the world
15:24Yeah, I think I'm smelling something else
15:26I'm not here for round two
15:28Right, so why are you?
15:30You got to the big house of telling tales, did you?
15:32It's not really how I work
15:33All right, blue flashing lights on the way, are they?
15:35I shouldn't think so
15:35I didn't tell Joe or anyone else
15:37Oh, really?
15:38Really
15:40I don't like hitting a man when he's down
15:44When I was looking for the keys, I found a letter
15:49Just how long have you been fighting cancer, Kane?
15:55Room for one more dance on?
15:57Actually, don't answer that
16:06I heard the good news yesterday
16:09I can't imagine what it felt like after everything you've been through
16:13What we've all been through
16:16But yeah, I just feel like I can enjoy him being a normal toddler, you know?
16:21Not a toddler going through leukaemia care
16:25And the conditional order for the divorce came through
16:27So that's another thing out of the way
16:28So I feel like I can almost allow myself to feel happy
16:34Almost?
16:35Well, I don't think too far in advance
16:37Because the future has a habit of slapping you hard in the face
16:41Yeah, we all carry those scars, Dawn
16:47You never know
16:49A future with another little one might put a smile on my face
16:53Really?
16:55I thought that door closed
16:56Yeah, I mean, we're not getting ahead of ourselves or anything
16:59It's just
17:01Well, you never know
17:02That door might still be open
17:06And Joe
17:07Is he on the same page?
17:09Yeah
17:09He wants the same things
17:12He's really good with the kids now
17:15But I guess being a stepdad
17:17It's just a bit different, isn't it?
17:19Than being an actual dad
17:23And after he turned eight years old
17:27He didn't have either
17:28And then along came Graham
17:31Then along came Graham
17:35Now I just have to work out a way
17:37To extract him out of Joe's life again
17:39Wouldn't it be easier to just try and get on
17:42With that?
17:47What's he talking about?
17:49Not with you, not with anyone
17:50No-one else knows
17:51I just said
17:52Moira?
17:53She's got enough on her plate
17:54But isn't it easier to let your family in on it?
17:57I mean, secrets have a habit of eating away at you
18:02I really don't need to wear this from you
18:04Picking fights with Joe
18:05You're way starting it
18:07I will only ever be on his side
18:09But I give you my word
18:11I won't tell anyone
18:13You're not telling them about the car?
18:15Well, you're going to be popular if they find out about that
18:19Popularity is often overrated
18:21Integrity, perhaps, isn't
18:25There aren't many people
18:28Who aren't affected by cancer
18:30Kane
18:31And got my father
18:35Prostate
18:37He was diagnosed late
18:40Wasn't quick
18:42I almost wish it was quick
18:45I watched him over time
18:47Slowly waste away
18:48Until I could barely recognise him anymore
18:55Do I look like a car?
18:57Obviously
18:57This was wasted on you
19:01I'm going to the pub
19:03I don't need to wear this
19:11No, no
19:13Thank me later
19:14Oh, yeah, right
19:15It was really nice
19:16Whoa, no need for details, bro
19:18Well, I was wiped out
19:19So I ate what I could
19:20And then just went to bed
19:22On your own?
19:23And did you leave the heating on?
19:24Because I felt like a sauna in here
19:25Although I've never been in a sauna
19:27Because sweating with strangers
19:28In a small wooden book
19:29Sounds very weird
19:30Ross, I'm so sorry
19:31I didn't get your text about lunch
19:33I've been trying to this whole
19:34Mindfulness thing
19:35So I turned my phone off
19:37Is he supposed to come to lunch with us?
19:40Was he?
19:40Well, you asked me
19:42So, yeah
19:43You going to tell me what's going on?
19:46Okay
19:47Okay, fine
19:48But this is your fault
19:49The pair of you
19:49What have I done?
19:50Nothing
19:51Absolutely nothing
19:52Neither of you
19:53Nada
19:53Nowt
19:54Are you okay?
19:55Have you taken something you shouldn't have?
19:56No
19:56I did something I shouldn't have
19:57I put a plan together
19:58So you two could
19:59You know
20:00Get together
20:01And you didn't
20:02Oh my god
20:02Yeah, I'm going to my room
20:04I mean, I'm not even here, so
20:13I need to stop following me
20:16You probably don't want to hear this
20:18But me putting you down
20:19Is a lot easier than it used to be
20:22Should be
20:24Next time
20:24I don't want it to be a next time
20:28You know her better than me
20:29But I'm pretty sure
20:31Moira would value your life
20:33Over a piece of land
20:35It's more than just a piece of land to her
20:38I get that
20:39But what you've got coming
20:41What I've got coming
20:42I'm ready for it
20:43But are you ready
20:45For Kim and Jo?
20:47Again, I
20:49Not telling you anything
20:50You don't already know
20:53But
20:53But
20:54They will stop at nothing
20:56And no one
20:56Until Moira's land
20:58Is all theirs
20:59It's the only thing
21:00That's important
21:01And
21:02What you need to find out
21:04Is what's most important to you
21:11I'll take my chances
21:13And maybe it won't kill you
21:15But maybe
21:17It will
21:26Oh, and
21:28One thing you need to know
21:31I'm good at keeping secrets
21:33So this
21:36It stays between us
21:57What you need to know
22:17So this
22:18It is
