00:33What? You're very early.
00:36Yeah, I just wanted to see my dad before court.
00:39I'm afraid there's been a delay.
00:40What? What's wrong?
00:42Oh, these things happen. It'll have nothing to do with your father's case. Try not to worry.
00:46That's easily said.
00:47Well, the manslaughter charge is a promising sign.
00:50Is it?
00:50It means the CPS have taken Bear's mental health into account and decided not to push for murder.
00:55And we can argue he used reasonable force.
00:57There's a good chance even if he's convicted he could get a suspended sentence.
01:04I do hear Paddy's all right today.
01:06Well, his dad's up in court on a manslaughter charge, so...
01:10What they were supposed to be going through...
01:12Let's not assume the worst just yet.
01:14All done.
01:16Oh, you haven't finished hot chocolate?
01:18Oh, Leo said it tasted a bit odd.
01:20Oh, yeah. I had a cinnamon. I like to spice things up.
01:23Oh, you don't like change, do you, mate?
01:25Oh, sorry. I'm not going to change myself.
01:28How do I send Sory and Makaton?
01:31Sorry.
01:33I'll make you a new one just the way you like it.
01:35Oh, no, no. Don't worry. We'll get one when we go home, huh?
01:41How are you?
01:42It's good to see you.
01:46Ha!
01:49Do you want something?
01:52I'm just grabbing a coffee.
01:58Are you all right?
01:59Yep.
02:00Don't let us keep you.
02:09Come on, let's go and get that hot chocolate, yeah?
02:11Is letting him talk to Graham such a bad idea?
02:14There aren't many people who can communicate with him like that.
02:17That man has put my daughter through enough heartache.
02:20You can't give him the slightest opportunity to wheedle his way back in.
02:23It's never going to happen, Mum.
02:24Make sure it doesn't. Come on.
02:36OK, great.
02:38Amazing. Thank you so much, mate.
02:39OK, great. Well, I'll pick up first thing in the morning.
02:41OK.
02:43Pick up what?
02:45Just a little surprise gift for Lucas.
02:49What?
02:49His birthday was a month ago.
02:51I know, but he's a good kid and he deserves a treat.
02:53I thought we agreed you would stop spoiling my children.
02:58Your children?
02:59I thought we were co-parenting.
03:02Yeah, sorry.
03:03Look, can we not do this now? I've, um, I've got to go to work.
03:06Dawn.
03:09Why don't you want to have children with me?
03:13We don't even know if I'm pregnant yet.
03:16I'll pick up a test after work.
03:24What are you doing here?
03:25This place is a mess. I need to keep on top of things.
03:28Getting in the rain, more like.
03:29I think you'll forget who your boss is.
03:30How?
03:31You keep reminding me.
03:32Don't start.
03:35It's been like this all morning.
03:36Right, well, winding up isn't going to help, is it?
03:39Look, go get a coffee. I'll try and calm him down.
03:41Yeah, you can try.
03:47You're awful.
03:48I'm telling you up this morning.
03:50I just need to keep busy.
03:52You run yourself ragged. Go home. Me and Cammie have got this.
03:55I'm fine.
03:55No, you're not, though, are you?
03:57You're having a go at everyone because you're worried about the cancer.
04:00Look, keeping this a secret is putting too much pressure on you.
04:03I'm not telling anyone until I've spoken to Moira.
04:05Right, we'll speak to her then.
04:06Not while she's still inside.
04:08Now, for now, this just stays between me and you, okay?
04:12Wait a moment. We need to talk.
04:14No, we don't.
04:18Cain?
04:19Don't bother. He won't listen.
04:39Shouldn't you be hard at work?
04:42Can't concentrate this morning.
04:45Dawn is having second thoughts about having children with me.
04:51Well, that's understandable.
04:53She's already got three.
04:55And from what you've told me, she's been through hell with Evan's illness.
04:59Who'd want to risk going through all that again?
05:02Hmm.
05:03Hmm.
05:04I'm not really sure that's the reason.
05:10Why is it important?
05:13You love Lucas, Cammie and Evan, don't you?
05:16Yeah, of course I do.
05:18Of course I do.
05:19But it's like...
05:22It's like she thinks that I can't cope with a kid.
05:27Like I'm not good enough.
05:29Has she said this?
05:30No.
05:31No.
05:33But what could the reason be?
05:35Maybe she's right.
05:37Maybe I'd buckle under the pressure.
05:40I never had a real family growing up.
05:45I never really had anything resembling a dad until...
05:51If it's fatherly advice you want, I suggest you say all this to Dawn.
05:56I don't know.
05:58Banging on about having my own kids sounds shallow.
06:00It's not shallow to tell someone how you feel.
06:05Says the most buttoned up man I've ever met in my entire life.
06:09I've seen you mooning over Rona.
06:12What are you going to do about it?
06:16She's, um, moved on.
06:18But you haven't.
06:20Take your own advice.
06:25Oh, flipping heck.
06:27What are we waiting for?
06:29Dad's due in court in an hour.
06:31Cuddy, really, stop stressing.
06:35How are you doing?
06:38Do you understand what's going on?
06:40Yes, I'm not simple.
06:41I killed a man.
06:43They're not going to let me get away with that, now, are they?
06:45That depends.
06:47How?
06:47We need to discuss your options.
06:49Whether you plead guilty or not guilty.
06:51I plead guilty?
06:52No.
06:54Dad, it was self-defence.
06:55You're still manslaughter.
06:56It's not as simple as that.
06:58Given the circumstances, everything Rae put you through.
07:01And with Zara's help,
07:02we think we can get you off.
07:04What?
07:05And walk away scot-free?
07:09Well, it's the justice in that.
07:10Dad, you're innocent.
07:12This is justice.
07:14I killed Rae.
07:16I need to plead guilty.
07:18It's the only honourable thing to do.
07:32Sarah thinks I should give you a wide berth.
07:37I just need you to understand why I did what I did.
07:43OK, maybe you don't want to talk to me, but can you just listen?
07:48I had no idea that Celia buried Anya on Moira's land,
07:54or that Celia ended up buried there herself.
07:58Obviously, if I'd have known that, I'd have come to you and Moira and told you.
08:04Anya came to this country to work.
08:07To send money home to her daughter.
08:09That is all.
08:12Instead, she was enslaved and exploited by Rae and Celia,
08:16and when she was no longer any use to them,
08:18they let her die and dug a hole in the ground and buried her like a dog.
08:24No-one deserves that.
08:27And Moira doesn't deserve to be locked up.
08:30But we can change that.
08:32Once Caleb's lawyers prove who's really guilty.
08:35And we are paying the legal fees whether you like it or not.
08:40You can blame me all you like,
08:42but we both know that Rae and Celia are the real reason
08:46why Moira is in prison.
08:51We will fight
08:53to make sure that Moira walks free.
08:58No-one fought for Anya.
09:08Dad.
09:11Think about this.
09:13Rae abused you.
09:15And not just you.
09:16Dozens of others.
09:18That's no excuse.
09:19I need to accept what I did and take responsibility.
09:23Well, you did that by confessing to the police.
09:25Now we need to go to trial and explain why you did it.
09:29Without that, you could be going to prison for a very long time.
09:33Well, maybe I should.
09:34I knew what I was doing.
09:36No, you didn't, Dad.
09:37You were locked away and you were brainwashed.
09:41Zara reckons
09:43there's a chance
09:44that you could get a suspended sentence.
09:47That's certainly what I'll be arguing.
09:50We should get going.
09:51Um,
09:53we'll be right with you.
10:03Dad,
10:05you didn't murder Rae.
10:07I was there.
10:09I saw what happened.
10:11You were defending me and Dylan.
10:13Maybe it's all a blur.
10:15Maybe I were trying to kill him.
10:17You can't say that in court.
10:20If you're not sure,
10:22you have to let the jury decide.
10:24I don't know.
10:25I don't know.
10:27You're not a murderer.
10:30You're a victim.
10:33If you plead guilty,
10:34then Rae and Celia have won.
10:37You can't let that happen.
10:41We need to get you home.
10:44Where you belong.
10:47You been to Lincoln recently?
10:49What?
10:50I just found an expenses invoice
10:51on the computer.
10:54Yeah, that was Paddy.
10:55He, er,
10:55he went to a conference.
10:56Oh, of course.
10:58Surprised.
10:59He's barely mentioned it.
11:00Usually giddy as a little kid
11:02when he gets to go on a jolly.
11:03He's had a lot on his mind recently,
11:04and he.
11:09What are you doing in my house?
11:11Sorry.
11:12Um,
11:14I found this
11:15in the road.
11:16I wondered
11:17it might be Leo's.
11:18It isn't.
11:19Right.
11:21Well,
11:22I'll, er,
11:23leave this here anyway.
11:25I know he
11:26loves a kick around.
11:29Was there something else?
11:32Since I'm here,
11:35it's a bit delicate.
11:37Oh,
11:38I'm,
11:38I'm due at
11:39Donster-Borzer.
11:43Look,
11:44if you're hoping
11:44to persuade me
11:45to let you see Leo,
11:46then you're wasting your time.
11:47It's not about him,
11:48it's about you and me.
11:49There is no you and me.
11:50I know,
11:51and that's the problem.
11:52you probably
11:53don't want to hear this,
11:55but I've been doing
11:56a lot of thinking
11:57since I came back,
11:59and it seems
12:00there's a strong possibility
12:02I'm still in love
12:03with you.
12:21It would help
12:22if you actually
12:23said something.
12:26You are unbelievable.
12:29How dare you
12:30come into my house
12:31and try and dig up
12:32the past?
12:32I'm telling you
12:33I love you.
12:33Stop saying that!
12:34It's an unfortunate truth.
12:36I wish I didn't.
12:37But life's too short
12:39to live a lie,
12:40don't you think?
12:41Sorry,
12:42are you imagining
12:43I feel the same?
12:44We were going to run away
12:45and start a new life together.
12:47But we didn't,
12:48because you faked
12:49your own death
12:49and disappeared
12:50for six years.
12:50But if I hadn't...
12:51But you did!
12:52Because you're the kind of man
12:53who only thinks about himself.
12:54I can't stop thinking about you.
12:56There you go again.
12:57I, me!
12:58Have you actually asked me
12:58if I still love you?
12:59Do you?
13:01I love Marlon
13:02and Leo
13:03and Ivy
13:04and April.
13:04I mean,
13:04do you really think
13:05I would give up my family
13:07for some fantasy
13:08I had years ago?
13:09I want you to get out
13:10of my house
13:10and stay away from Leo.
13:14Don't I get out of them.
13:15I will not let you
13:17use my son
13:17to try and mess
13:18with my emotions.
13:19If you had
13:20any shred of decency
13:22you would have stayed
13:23exactly where you put yourself.
13:25Six feet under.
13:27I'm sorry you're feeling that way.
13:51you're feeling that way.
13:53Hm, yeah.
13:56Ruby had a go at me.
13:59Oh, someone had to.
14:00I'm just blaming
14:01all the wrong people.
14:02The people who are to blame,
14:04Seelam and Ray,
14:05I...
14:06I can't touch them.
14:07I just...
14:08I just feel so useless.
14:13Look, once we prove Moira's innocence, then...
14:16It's not down to me, though, is it? I just...
14:19I can't do anything to help.
14:22You are, though. You're keeping this place going.
14:24Oh, yeah, hardly.
14:27What's this?
14:29Life insurance people. Trying to get me to renew.
14:33Right, well, you definitely need to do that, then.
14:34Yeah, well, I can't, because I cancelled it last year.
14:37What? You've not got life insurance?
14:40I needed all the money to keep this place afloat.
14:43I didn't know I was going to get cancer.
14:45And now they're hardly going to insure me, are they?
14:50So when I die now, Moira and the kids, they'll be left with nothing.
14:54Right, listen, can you stop saying that, please?
14:56Because you are not going to die.
14:57Yeah, well, I might as well, for all of you say I'm well, I'm still alive.
15:07Why ain't Paddy home yet?
15:09Well, sweetheart, will you please sit down? You're giving me jitters.
15:13Alright, I'm sorry.
15:15Alas! How did he go?
15:17Good, yeah. More than good.
15:20Bail home! It's just so much. It's good to have you home.
15:25Well, for the time being.
15:27Dad, you got bail. That's a really good sign.
15:29What happened then?
15:31Well, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
15:34So there's a good chance Zora can save him from prison.
15:36There's no guarantee, so long as we keep you two out of it.
15:39Right, but let's not think like that.
15:42We're going to get you off.
15:45Hiya.
15:46Sorry, who's that?
15:47It's just the chap fitting the base station thing.
15:50Yep. I've been tagged.
15:53Confined to barracks.
15:55I have had an idea.
15:56Does it get more out of prison than cure my cancer?
16:00No.
16:02But it'll take your mind off things.
16:04Look, you can't just sit around and moat all day.
16:07You've got to do something positive.
16:09So, hear me out.
16:10You need money to keep this place going.
16:13I reckon we go old school.
16:14Who?
16:16We nick some high-end motors.
16:19Don't be daft.
16:20Why not? You've done it loads of times.
16:22Well, you haven't.
16:22Yeah, so now's your chance to teach me.
16:24Look, I'll borrow Gran's wig. It'll be such a laugh.
16:27Until you get arrested and banged up.
16:29Right, so we make sure we don't get caught.
16:31Sarah, you've got a baby on the way.
16:32Yes, exactly. So this could be my last chance to do something reckless.
16:36What do you say?
16:38Look, it'll make you feel better. You need a distraction.
16:41Stop telling me what I need.
16:43Right, I'm only trying to help.
16:44Yeah, well, I don't need your help.
16:45And why are you still here anyway?
16:47Shouldn't you be at the garage helping Cammy?
16:49Grumpy.
16:49Just go.
16:53Do you know what? Maybe you're right.
16:55If you're not prepared to fight for your family, then maybe they are better off without you.
17:09Just making shepherd's pie to welcome you home.
17:11Can't beat a bit of comfort food.
17:13Where are you going?
17:16I need some air.
17:18But what about your curfew?
17:19You don't want to be setting your thingy off.
17:22Can't stop it here.
17:26You were begging for mercy, but I didn't listen.
17:30I just kept the squeezy and the squeezy.
17:33Hey, it's all right.
17:35I wish I could go back and make it right.
17:37Dad, listen.
17:40You did what you had to do.
17:41And you saved me and Dylan.
17:44You protected us.
17:46Then we're going to look after you, all right?
17:48Listen.
17:49I suppose I'll walk around the block before tea won't do any harm.
17:53Yeah, I'll come with you. Keep an eye on time, yeah?
17:57Thanks, lad.
17:58Come on.
18:11Are you sure he's coping being back here?
18:14We just need to get through these next few months.
18:16Then once he's found not guilty...
18:18If?
18:19No, no, no, no.
18:20He's not going down.
18:21I'm not letting that happen.
18:22But what if he says the wrong thing?
18:23Because you said that he nearly pleaded guilty this morning.
18:26Yeah, but he didn't.
18:27And then he was granted bail.
18:28And the judge was really sympathetic.
18:30No, no.
18:30He could see.
18:31He'd suffered enough.
18:32But what if the Crown Court aren't that lenient?
18:35Why are you saying this?
18:36I'm just being realistic, that's all.
18:37I don't want us to get our hopes up.
18:42It's a step in the right direction.
18:45We have to keep positive.
18:54Hey.
18:57I spoke to Graham.
19:00He reckons then I need to be honest with you.
19:05But you need to be honest with me, too.
19:08Am I the problem?
19:12That's it, isn't it?
19:13I'm the problem.
19:14You don't want to...
19:15You don't want to have kids with me?
19:19There is no baby, Joe.
19:20I'm not pregnant.
19:25Right.
19:27I thought you'd be relieved.
19:29Given what you said.
19:32Yeah, so did I.
19:37Hey.
19:39Hey.
19:40This is so silly.
19:43The last thing I need is another baby.
19:45The last thing I need is another baby.
19:49But I just kind of feel like I've lost something, which makes no sense because there was nothing in there
19:54in the first place.
19:58So, um, what does this mean?
20:03Maybe I do want a baby.
20:07Your baby.
20:10I don't want to feel like I'm forcing you into anything.
20:14You're not.
20:14Oh.
20:17So, what do we do now?
20:19Well, I don't know.
20:20Maybe we just let nature take its course and hope for the best.
20:24Mm-hm.
20:26Yeah.
20:29Hey.
20:31How did it go with Rona?
20:34Talking is overrated.
20:42Dinner in five.
20:44How's Leo?
20:45He still doesn't want to talk to you, I'm afraid.
20:49What a mess.
20:50Mrs Graham's doing, not yours.
20:52Leo will be fine tomorrow.
20:54Unless he bumps into Graham again.
20:56Oh, I think we made it very clear that he needs to keep his distance.
21:00That looked good, that did.
21:01What do you mean?
21:01Well, he came round at lunchtime and told me he loved me.
21:05What?
21:07The nerve of the man.
21:10I hope you made it perfectly clear you want nothing more to do with him.
21:13Of course I did.
21:14Well, did he get the message?
21:16Hopefully.
21:17I mean, it's like I was saying to Leo before he stomped off,
21:19we can't always have what we want.
21:21No.
21:22We can't.
21:23And just because Graham comes round declaring his undying life,
21:26it doesn't mean I want him.
21:27What?
21:28He did what?
21:29It's nothing.
21:30Okay?
21:31Look, I told him to get lost.
21:33Saying he lost is not nothing.
21:36I'll kill him.
