00:46Hey. It's me. We've got an emergency. Assemble the troops. Anyone and everyone. Just fast. Right?
01:00There's some coffee left in the pot.
01:03So, you're not going to like what I'm about to tell you.
01:06This doesn't sound like morning small talk.
01:09It's going to be about Graham. I don't want to hear it. He got the car back. It's all that
01:14matters.
01:15Woody told you yesterday, that joyriders took your car.
01:18No. I'm pretty sure that was a lie. Because I saw him in the pub yesterday with Cain.
01:25Okay. What does that prove?
01:27Look, I'm not trying to say that your judgement's become clouded, Kim, but come on.
01:31There's something going on. I know it.
01:34If Graham needs to speak to Cain, I'm sure he's got his reasons.
01:38And don't you want to know what those reasons are?
01:40If I need to know, I'll know.
01:43Then you wouldn't have a problem testing his loyalty.
01:47Okay. Seems like you've already got something dreamt up.
01:50Just a little test to prove if you're right.
01:54A test or a trap?
01:57Maybe if you shared something with him.
02:01Something that Cain couldn't possibly find out by himself.
02:07That is not a nice sound.
02:09Yeah, they're stressed and agitated. It's not good.
02:11Mummy, you're in there.
02:13We need to all get out fast.
02:15How?
02:16Can't lift that on as well, can we?
02:17I'm sorry, what are you doing here?
02:20What you said, anyone and everyone.
02:22Look, Matty should be able. He's out trying to drum up new business.
02:25He'll be back when he's done.
02:26That barn's going to collapse, whether the sheep are in there or us trying to get them out.
02:30Yeah, he's right. We need proper help.
02:32We are the help.
02:33Just ask yourself, what would Moira do now to be in there?
02:35Cain, we're all on board.
02:37We just think we should maybe wait for the professionals to get here.
02:39We haven't got time.
02:40Right, if you won't do it, I'll do it myself.
02:42Are you mad? No, you're not going in there.
02:43You're not thinking properly.
02:44I haven't got time to think.
02:45I can't just let them all die in there.
02:47Cain, we'll get them all out.
02:48Every single one.
02:49But you're not doing it on your own.
02:51Look, we'll do this for Moira.
02:52But right now, this isn't the time for brawn.
02:54This is the time for brains.
02:55Nope.
02:56Might be needing a rustle, will we?
02:59We do need some more equipment.
03:01Question, do we know anyone that owns a tractor?
03:08So, we have another problem.
03:12One that won't go away so easily.
03:16I'm going to need a little more than that.
03:20Cain.
03:22Ah.
03:23Not so much won't go away, never actually went away.
03:27Hmm.
03:29I don't have to tell you that he is one stubborn man.
03:33It's his wife's farm, John.
03:35It was never going to be handed to you on a plate.
03:38Well, he won't be able to hold on much longer if he can't viably run the place.
03:43We are going to smash that plate.
03:46Whatever farm machinery there is, valuable farm machinery,
03:50we are going to sell it from under him.
03:56I need you to do an inventory of all their stock.
04:00Identify the most lucrative assets,
04:02and then we're going to take it to auction, get it off the books.
04:05Given his current situation, he won't possibly be able to buy it back.
04:08He will be forced to sell.
04:12I'm kind of tempted to think that it will be a quick death.
04:14I'm sure he'll appreciate you cutting his throat,
04:17as long as it's quick.
04:21Obviously, you wouldn't be sympathetic to his plight, would you?
04:23I'm not sure he'd want my sympathy.
04:25I don't care what he wants.
04:27What I want is a fire to be lit.
04:31This has gone on far too long.
04:36Consider it done.
04:43I don't care what he wants.
04:45Australia, wow.
04:46I mean, it's a long way away,
04:47but if you are going to visit,
04:48I know someone who'd be very willing to come along with you.
04:50I don't think Jimmy would be very happy with that.
04:53He is born unhappy.
04:54He came out crying and never stopped.
04:56Yeah, well, at the moment,
04:58Arthur's dreams of emigrating are a million miles away,
05:01which he's not very pleased about,
05:02so I don't think we'll be planning a visit any time soon.
05:04I'll see you later.
05:05See you.
05:06Hi.
05:07Hey, I was going to check in on you.
05:10I know this week might be weighing a little heavy.
05:12Why?
05:14Oh, I'm sorry.
05:17I just assumed you knew.
05:20The local authorities are burying Ray in a couple of days.
05:24Oh, right.
05:25Feel safe in the knowledge
05:26that the Lord will have dealt with him accordingly.
05:29That creature doesn't deserve a burial.
05:31Throw him in an incinerator at the end
05:32and don't even think about defending him.
05:34I wasn't about to.
05:35You don't get to do the awful sick things he did
05:37and expect sympathy.
05:39Hell's too good for him.
05:40Do not judge or you too will be judged.
05:42Judge away, I haven't kept any slaves.
05:45Except you, me.
05:46Anyway, I think we're preaching to the converted.
05:48Laurel knows exactly what kind of monster that man was.
05:54I hope this works.
05:55I've already lost half the farm to the takes.
05:57I'm not letting a single animal die.
05:59I'm not on my way.
06:00Does he know this is an emergency?
06:02Seriously, can you go any slower?
06:04Oh, shut up, you.
06:05I'm reading up on protocols about what to do in situations like this.
06:08And what are the protocols?
06:11Stay well clear.
06:13They're calling the experts.
06:15Right, okay.
06:16I get it.
06:17It's dangerous.
06:17Anything could happen in there.
06:18So if anyone wants to walk away, just do it.
06:20No, listen.
06:21We saved these sheep.
06:22We saved the farm.
06:23Right, everybody.
06:24Listen up.
06:25As soon as the straps are on the tractor,
06:26we're good to go.
06:27So we can lift the tree up,
06:28saw some of the heavier branches,
06:30pry open the door,
06:31and then get the sheep out.
06:32All right?
06:32Right.
06:33I'll go back and get the chainsaw.
06:35Well, if we're not going to wait for the cavalry,
06:37we need to get a move on.
06:38Come on, people.
06:39We're running out of time.
06:39Come on.
06:42I haven't got time for you right now.
06:43I'm supposed to be here and take business.
06:45I don't care.
06:46You're not welcome.
06:47Not today.
06:48Okay.
06:48No, you're not listening.
06:49We're not finished yet.
06:51Yet.
06:52But you will be if you don't listen to what I've got to say.
06:55Oh, hi, love.
06:56Do you want something to eat on me?
07:00You can't talk to me, you know.
07:02No, nothing's off the table.
07:06Good to chat.
07:10She actually just offered you free food.
07:12I mean, I wouldn't.
07:13I think if you want anything in this life,
07:14you've got to pay for it.
07:16Did I ask for anything?
07:18Look, whatever it is you've decided to be constantly angry about,
07:21you need to stop taking out on her.
07:22Because my guess is she's got it worse than you have right now.
07:25You think?
07:26Yeah, I do.
07:28I think things are pretty hard for her
07:29and you're only making it harder.
07:31Eh, you might want to count that, love.
07:33Oh, I think I trust you.
07:35Do you?
07:35I don't even trust me.
07:37Look, I hate asking, but, um,
07:40how's Bear doing?
07:41The best we can hope for is a suspended sentence.
07:44It just seems like all the pieces are all over the place
07:46and somehow we've just got to put him back together again.
07:49Oh, my God, that made him sound like Humpty Flippin' Dumpty.
07:52Sorry, excuse me, I'm just going to go wash me hands.
07:54Sorry.
07:54Oh.
07:55Go ahead.
07:56How are you doing?
07:58I mean, I probably know the answer to that, but...
08:01It's not really about me, is it?
08:03So...
08:03Well, it's about everyone, isn't it?
08:05Everyone that Ray and that woman affected.
08:11Well, people keep telling me, you know,
08:13how I should be thinking, um,
08:15that I know what he was, but
08:17he wasn't always like that, you know?
08:19Not to me.
08:19Yeah.
08:20It's really hard, isn't it, to not feel guilty
08:22when you feel differently to everybody else.
08:25Yeah.
08:27Thing is, I reckon
08:28he didn't even like himself.
08:31You know, not really.
08:33I heard something from Charles in the cafe.
08:35Apparently later this week
08:37there's going to be
08:37some kind of burial for him.
08:40Oh.
08:40Ray?
08:41I'm surprised it's not a cremation.
08:43Shame they couldn't burn him alive, eh?
08:46Right.
08:50I thought you'd want me to help shift that tree.
08:52I need you on something else.
08:54Joe's going to try and sell
08:55some of our farm machinery come under us.
08:57Eh?
08:58Which machinery?
09:00Well, anything of any value,
09:01which means we'll barely have anything left
09:02and the farm's going to go under.
09:04Can he do that?
09:05Well, he can try.
09:06Right.
09:07What do you need me to do?
09:08Well, we're going to play him at his own game.
09:10We're going to sell some of it ourselves
09:11and we'll keep the rest
09:12and we'll just use that for the short term.
09:15Does that mean the farm will still struggle?
09:18No, it means we're going to have money in our back pocket.
09:20Can you get on this?
09:21Make some phone calls, just do what you can.
09:23Yeah, right.
09:24I'm on it.
09:26The main thing,
09:27we don't let Joe take his hands on anything.
09:33I've been through the Butler's Farm assets
09:35with a fine tooth comb.
09:36You won't be surprised.
09:38There's little of significant value.
09:41Hmm.
09:42How are they managing
09:43without any decent or expensive machinery?
09:46They're not.
09:46They're on their knees
09:47and we both know who put them there.
09:49Oh, sounds like an accusation.
09:52The only machinery they've got left
09:54is covered in rust
09:54and they certainly can't afford
09:56to replace any of it.
09:57They're bleeding out.
09:58No further action required.
10:01Thank you, Graeme.
10:02I need to take a shower.
10:05Wash that farm off me.
10:11You asked the questions.
10:13Are you satisfied with the answers?
10:17Full inventory was done
10:19when we bought the Sugden's half of the farm.
10:21We know exactly what machinery is listed.
10:24So,
10:24if he says there's no valuable assets worth pursuing...
10:28Then he's walked straight into your trap.
10:31Why would he throw me under the bus?
10:34Looks to me like he's driving that bus.
11:00Good work, people.
11:01I'll have a chance here.
11:02It's coming down to you.
11:04We've got to get him out now.
11:05Mackenzie.
11:06Just keep it open as much as you can
11:08so I'm going to get past.
11:09Get past?
11:09You can't go in there.
11:10Well, what choice have I got?
11:11How else are they going to come out?
11:13Just do it.
11:16Please be careful.
11:17Yeah, please don't die.
11:20Okay.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Keep going for a minute.
11:22Come on.
11:22Right, come in.
11:24It's going to come down soon.
11:25Right, come on, guys.
11:26We need to move quickly.
11:27Okay.
11:32I think they're coming.
11:33Oh, quick!
11:54Get the rest of this sorted now.
12:04Come on.
12:06Come on.
12:19Obviously, if you want to be left alone, just say the word.
12:22No, I was hoping that I might see you.
12:26But then there's another part of me that has no idea why I'm actually here.
12:33A bit of a break from all the noise.
12:37All the noise is still there.
12:40In fact, it's getting louder.
12:45I know the things that Ray did.
12:48The terrible, awful, despicable things.
12:52Marlon, Rona, April Bear.
12:54They have to deal with those things every day, you know.
12:59It's still so raw for them, isn't it?
13:02I'm forever telling people that time is a great healer.
13:07But sometimes I know just how holler those words could be.
13:12I hate what you did.
13:13I hate him.
13:15I do.
13:16I mean, how could I not?
13:18What would that make me?
13:21Human.
13:27I mean, can you actually love someone if you don't really know them?
13:35I suppose it's recognising the difference between the man and the monster.
13:41And if there is a difference.
13:44That's a tiny part of me, you know.
13:47It feels terrible, you know, that he's going to be alone when he's buried.
13:52And I know you're going to say, oh, you know, it's okay.
13:54He won't know.
13:56My job description is pretty clear that I shouldn't say that.
14:01But I'll know.
14:04I know you're thinking I'm making excuses for him, but I'm not.
14:08I'm really not.
14:10If you knew what I knew,
14:13about his life growing up, about the things he had to face,
14:15you know, he was a victim too.
14:20I don't want to forgive him.
14:22Well, then, maybe you need to forgive yourself.
14:28I hate asking this, but can you go to the Chapel of Rest?
14:34Just make sure that he's, you know, not on his own.
14:37He's at peace.
14:40Okay, sure, if that's what you want.
14:45Why don't you come with me?
14:49Well, never has a beer been so well-deserved.
14:52I can't believe we did it.
14:53Never a door moment, eh?
14:55You lot, you're pretty much heroes.
14:57Some people run away from the flames, Bob.
14:59Some run straight into the fire, carrying the biggest holes.
15:03Fireman Sam, ever here?
15:04Yeah, mate, you turn up with a water pistol.
15:06Oh, mate, Shink came here too, if someone should be celebrating.
15:09Oh, he's visiting Moira.
15:11Yeah, prisons aren't big on celebrations, mate.
15:14But, look, we did amazing today, guys.
15:15We should be really proud of ourselves.
15:17Tell you what, next round on the house.
15:19Hey!
15:22You know what, she's right.
15:24Today was amazing, but, erm, could get better.
15:27Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
15:28Well, if it involves leaving early and heading back to the house.
15:31Are you sure?
15:34Er, and where are you two off?
15:37Only kidding, off you pop.
15:39Don't let anyone or anything stop you.
15:51Where did you come from?
15:56Have you been lying to me, Graham?
15:59Sorry.
16:04Lying to you about what?
16:06About our situation at Moira's.
16:08I've only ever been honest with you.
16:10You've not been cooking something out with Cain?
16:15Playing with the figures?
16:16Why would I do that?
16:18I don't know.
16:19But I have this...
16:21this itch.
16:23And it won't go away.
16:24Why would you choose Cain...
16:27over me?
16:28I wouldn't.
16:29There's your answer.
16:30If you have anything you want to tell me, now is your chance.
16:33But there isn't.
16:36Where's this coming from?
16:39Or do I not even need to ask?
16:41It's coming from me.
16:44A lot has changed over the years, Joan, but I haven't.
16:49I'm still the man you always counted on.
16:51And that...
16:53that will never change.
17:01This day did not go as expected.
17:04I mean, when people ask, what was your first kiss like?
17:06Well, I mean, it involved quite a lot of frightened sheep.
17:09I wouldn't say that out loud.
17:10And loads of people watching it.
17:12Not in a weird way.
17:15Yeah, well, it's sounding more weirder and weirder.
17:18I just can't believe it happened.
17:19How it happened.
17:21Yeah, well, erm...
17:23I know you're not there yet.
17:24About everything.
17:25About yourself.
17:27Yeah, I guess it's just...
17:28It's all a bit... new.
17:32No regrets?
17:34Not a single one.
17:36And, erm...
17:36Well, whatever this is, we can take it as slow as you need.
17:39We don't need to rush anything.
17:41And, erm, if you're not ready for what comes next,
17:44we can always, you know, go back to the pub.
17:47I can't wait for what comes next.
17:56Well, I don't think there's anything else you can tell me to top that.
17:59A huge team effort saving a flock of sheep.
18:02I'm just happy to bring in some good news in here for a change.
18:06Bet you wish you were in the pub with the rest of them, eh?
18:11This is where I want to be.
18:13With you.
18:17And what about Kyle and Isaac?
18:20Well, we're good.
18:21Nothing to worry about.
18:23Unlike you.
18:24I've told you.
18:25It's not as bad as it looks.
18:27Yes, it is.
18:28Well, I don't need to tell you what it's like in here.
18:31You know, word gets out, then it spreads.
18:34I'm a modern slaver.
18:35No, you're not.
18:37We both know truth isn't important in prison.
18:42I came in here in almost a good mood.
18:43And you've put me in a good mood too.
18:46I'm so proud of you.
18:49So anything else on the farm I should know about?
18:53The tea it's still circling.
18:56Nothing you don't already know.
18:57I'm just keeping busy.
19:00Juggling.
19:01Spinning plates.
19:02But today...
19:05Today felt like a win.
19:07Mm-mm.
19:09And now you're letting people help you in.
19:14What is that?
19:16What?
19:18Kane, you know I'm always gonna fight back.
19:21You and me, we were born fighting, darling.
19:24Yeah.
19:25And we'll be fighting until the day we take our last breath.
19:33Read it.
19:36What?
19:37I said read it.
19:41Auctionless things.
19:42Have a guess where the items I highlighted are from.
19:47Yeah.
19:47See, no one on this earth knows you as well as I do, Graham.
19:52I know when you're lying.
19:56Joe.
19:56You wanna know that itch I was talking about?
19:58Well, I scratched it.
19:59I made some calls.
20:01I looked out for some new listings.
20:03Do you wanna know what I found?
20:06Okay, so I know this doesn't look good.
20:08All of that nonsense coming out of your mouth.
20:11You can always count on me.
20:13You looked me dead in the eyes.
20:15And you lied.
20:16I gave you the opportunity to admit that you were lying.
20:19You did not take it.
20:20You just doubled down.
20:21So.
20:22You were testing me.
20:24Yeah.
20:24I was.
20:25And you failed.
20:27You don't know the full picture.
20:29Do I not?
20:30Oh, please.
20:31What am I missing?
20:32Tell you what, have a think while you're pulling the knife out of my back.
20:35You have every right to be angry.
20:37It goes so much further than that!
20:38Graham!
20:40Do you wanna know who I'm most upset at here?
20:42Huh?
20:43Me!
20:45For believing that I could trust you again.
20:48I let you back in my life.
20:49And the first opportunity I give you, you lie.
20:56I've let you down.
20:58And I'm sorry.
