03:03but you still make 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
03:33yes happy days whoa hands off it's date night right and who's a very unlucky lady not for me

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