00:32Coffee? Or would you rather go out for breakfast?
00:39Graham? Something wrong?
00:41Nothing.
00:43I just thought last night calls for a little celebration.
00:46I mean, waking up with you again was definitely not on my bingo card for this lifetime.
00:52Not mine.
00:54I think I'll pass on breakfast, thanks.
00:57Yes. And maybe we should keep what happened last night to ourselves for now.
01:03Any particular reason why?
01:06Yeah.
01:06Something to do with the messages you've been reading on your phone?
01:11Last night was an error of judgement on my part, for which I can only apologise.
01:20Just what I was about to say to you over our ex-Benedict.
01:23A one-off. Never to be repeated.
01:27At our age we should know better.
01:30I enjoyed myself. I hope you did too.
01:35You never were good at reading the room, were you, Graham?
01:47How long does it take for four puppies to pop out? You don't call for hours.
01:50Well, the first one appeared, and then nothing.
01:53I had to take her into surgery to get a hold of the rest.
01:55Listen, sit down. I'll make you a coffee.
01:57Hey! If that's work, you can tell Vanessa and Roro you're not coming in.
02:01You've been out since 4am!
02:03Hello?
02:05Yep, that's me.
02:07Is he alright?
02:10Alright, I'll get over there. Alright, bye.
02:12Are you dad?
02:13Yeah, he's got an assessment today and he's asked to see me.
02:16Eh? What for? I told you not to visit.
02:18Dunno. Must be getting somewhere with his treatment.
02:20Which would be a good thing if all we had to do was worry about his mental health.
02:23Except it's not, is it? Because, you know, if he gets better, they're gonna sling him out of that unit.
02:27Yeah, and the first thing the police are gonna do is bang him up.
02:29Alright? He's not up to it. We can't let it happen.
02:31I better get over there fast. He can't let them know he's feeling better.
02:34The minute the doctor signs him out and sends him home, it's all over.
02:39I felt awful, you know, Gabby, having to lie to you.
02:42I knew something was off.
02:43Why didn't you just tell me the truth?
02:45Because I was trying to protect answer.
02:48You know, it was an accident.
02:50Yeah, he couldn't stop crying when he told me.
02:52He was so upset.
02:53Yeah, and now he's dead set on Manchester, isn't he?
02:57Oh, I love. We were just talking about you.
02:59So, this new job sounds exciting.
03:01Well, yeah, it's a start-up. You know, it's going places.
03:04Are you alright with this?
03:05Well, yeah, me and Mum agree. It's the best thing for all of us.
03:07Hang on. I didn't say that.
03:09So, how much are you gonna earn, then?
03:11Is it a fixed contract? Is there a trial period?
03:14Well, I'll tell you later.
03:15Alright? Do you want another coffee, Mum?
03:17Oh, yeah, lovely.
03:17I'll have an Americano.
03:19In fact, I'll give him a hand.
03:25Funny how this job has turned up just in time to get you out of Mum's hair.
03:29She wants me gone.
03:30No, she doesn't.
03:32Why would she?
03:34Do you really have to ask?
03:36Arthur, she loves you, alright?
03:38So much that she lied for you.
03:41And so do I.
03:44Legging it isn't gonna solve anything.
03:46The only way to work things out is to face them head-on, even though it must hurt.
03:51Trust me, I know.
03:54Arthur.
04:02Do you mean to just drop in unannounced?
04:05No, it's okay.
04:06Come in.
04:07Sit yourself down.
04:09I've, er, just made a brew.
04:11Don't worry.
04:12There's only me and Steve here.
04:15Hey, what's the matter?
04:17Oh.
04:19I have been so stupid.
04:22You're not gonna believe what I did last night.
04:25Graham.
04:27Yeah, and I couldn't feel any worse.
04:32I'd just had a set-to with Chas.
04:35I heard.
04:36I got home.
04:37I was angry.
04:39He was there.
04:41He turned the charm up to 11.
04:43Told me everything I wanted to hear.
04:46The worst thing was,
04:49it felt so right.
04:52after so many years
04:53and so much heartbreak.
04:57It was as if we'd always belong together.
05:00Oh, love.
05:01I'm not saying we could just pick up where we left off,
05:04but
05:06when we were together,
05:07just the two of us,
05:10it was as if we'd never been apart.
05:13But this morning...
05:15You went cold on you.
05:18Said it had all been a mistake.
05:21Well, what made him change his mind?
05:23He'd left his phone on the dining room table.
05:27When we came down this morning,
05:28there were messages.
05:30Rona?
05:32I assume so.
05:35Seems like there are still three people
05:37in this non-relationship.
05:40You know, if Graham thinks that he can just
05:43use me, then cast me aside,
05:45well,
05:47he never really knew me at all.
05:54Hey, Dad.
05:55Hi.
05:58You look well.
05:59Hi.
06:00I got you some coffee from the day room.
06:02Tastes like dishwater, but at least a sort.
06:05How have you been?
06:06Well, they put me on some meds
06:09and things began to lift.
06:10And then,
06:11I started talking.
06:12Just about the farm.
06:14Nothing else.
06:14And not all of that either.
06:16So you've not said anything?
06:17Even though they tried to
06:18winkle things out from the
06:19deepest corners of your mind,
06:21I stood fast.
06:22Good.
06:24All you need to do is keep that up.
06:26And the talking,
06:26it helped me
06:27see how much
06:28Ray and Celia
06:29had messed with me head.
06:31But I'm getting stronger every day.
06:33Fantastic.
06:35Dad,
06:36you do know
06:37you can't admit that
06:38to anyone.
06:39Not the doctors
06:40or the therapists
06:41or anyone.
06:42You reckon?
06:43Yeah.
06:46We do know
06:47the trial's going ahead.
06:48But if you're not well enough,
06:50the CPS
06:51might drop the charges.
06:52I know you mean well,
06:53but I've told the doctors
06:55that if I'm clear,
06:56I'm signing myself out
06:58this after.
06:59Dad?
07:00I've already told Miss Alista.
07:02She knows what I'm going to do.
07:04I can't hide here forever.
07:08I've done a bad thing.
07:10And I'm going to have to
07:11face the consequences.
07:17Hey.
07:18Hi.
07:21I'm sorry about yesterday.
07:23I couldn't make it.
07:24And I missed you
07:24calling someone.
07:25Well, I was on my way there
07:27and then the nursery called
07:28and I had to come pick up Ivy.
07:29Is she OK?
07:29Yeah, yeah.
07:30Just a little graze.
07:31I was clapping so much
07:32I forgot my phone.
07:33And if it hadn't been for that,
07:34you'd have been in the bridge.
07:35Yeah, but you'd gone
07:36by the time I got there.
07:37And then you weren't
07:38picking up your phone,
07:39so I thought you weren't
07:40speaking to me.
07:41I was...
07:42I was distracted.
07:44Oh.
07:45If you do still want to meet,
07:47I could take lunch
07:47at 12.30 today.
07:49Same time, same place.
07:53Hello, Rona.
07:55Hi.
07:56How's Ivy?
07:57Marlon said you took a tumble
07:58yesterday.
07:58Yeah, she's good.
07:59Thanks.
08:00Anyway, it's nice to see you,
08:01Grant, but I best get on.
08:03I'm heading to Home Farm
08:04after lunch.
08:05I wasn't sure if I needed
08:06to make up your room today.
08:07No reason not to.
08:08Who's this?
08:13Uh, could you make me
08:15a sandwich lunch for two
08:16to take away, please?
08:17Yeah, of course.
08:18Just take a seat.
08:19I'm on it.
08:27Dad, it's great
08:28that you're feeling better,
08:29but if you sign yourself out,
08:31the police will pick you up
08:32straight away.
08:32You broke your bail conditions
08:34and you assaulted Jacob
08:35at the hospital.
08:36And I hope one day
08:37he'll forgive me for that.
08:40DS Walsh
08:41told me she'd arrest you.
08:42You'll go to prison.
08:44And that's after they ask you
08:45even more questions about Ray.
08:46They've had me back in already
08:48wanting to know about
08:48this flipping rope.
08:50Well, they still try
08:50to drag you into this.
08:52Yeah, but they can't.
08:53Not without the evidence.
08:54Yeah, but if they do find
08:55something, they'll change
08:56the charges.
08:56Then we'll all be stuffed.
08:58Look, I told you.
08:59I'm feeling better.
09:00Strong enough to answer
09:01any questions the police
09:03chuck at me
09:03to keep you safe.
09:05Mr. Howson?
09:07It's time for my assessment.
09:09Dad, please.
09:11I know what I'm doing, son.
09:14Leave it with me.
09:21Okay, here's your order
09:23and I'll pop some of these
09:24cheese snacks
09:25that Marlon likes in there.
09:26Oh, it's not actually for Marlon.
09:28He's at work with my mum.
09:29Oh, treating Vanessa?
09:31That's right.
09:32Okay, well, ask her
09:33what she thinks about
09:33the new fillings.
09:34I've done a matcha hummus
09:36with a bit of a twist.
09:37Okay, I will.
09:40Only that lunch
09:41isn't for Vanessa either,
09:42is it?
09:42I really do have to go.
09:43It's for you and Graham.
09:45Absolutely not.
09:46Don't lie to me.
09:47I saw the way
09:48you looked at him just now
09:49and I saw the pair of you
09:50the other day
09:51heads so close together
09:52if either of you
09:52had had nits
09:53you'd both be infested.
09:54What you saw
09:55was two people
09:55having a conversation.
09:57About Cain,
09:57as it happens.
09:58He faked his own death.
10:00He lied to you.
10:01He left you.
10:01Broke your heart.
10:03You've got a lovely life now.
10:04A beautiful family.
10:06A husband who loves you.
10:07And you think it's your job
10:08to remind me of that,
10:08do you?
10:09I think you might have
10:09forgotten what you've got
10:10to lose.
10:12It's not my job
10:13to tell you what to do
10:14but I care for you.
10:16I care for Marlon.
10:17For all of you.
10:19And regardless of what
10:20Graham says,
10:20you go there again
10:21and he'll hurt you again.
10:22Just like you hurt Kim.
10:24Oh, that's different.
10:25It was over years ago.
10:26Kim hates him so much
10:28she wanted him dead.
10:29Hates him so much
10:30they spent last night together.
10:31In her bed.
10:53I was beginning to think
10:54you were going to
10:54stand me up again.
10:56Your lunch.
10:57I hope it chokes you.
10:58Sorry, what?
10:59From now on,
11:00you don't go anywhere near me.
11:02You don't speak to me.
11:03You don't even look
11:04in my direction.
11:05Is that clear?
11:06I should never have
11:07engaged with you
11:08right from the start.
11:09You've ruined my life
11:10when you faked your death
11:11and now you think
11:11you could just barge back
11:12into my world
11:13and act like I'm not married
11:14with a family.
11:15I've got the utmost respect
11:16for you.
11:16So why did you try
11:17and reel me in again, eh?
11:18When all the while
11:20you had your eye
11:21on the main prize.
11:22I know
11:23that you spent
11:24last night with Kim.
11:25Then you know
11:25it meant nothing.
11:27Told Kim that, have you?
11:29I told her
11:29whatever happened
11:30between us was a mistake.
11:31Why did you pursue me, Graham?
11:33Eh?
11:34Going to such great lengths
11:36to help Kane?
11:37Turning up wherever I go?
11:38That's not true.
11:39You played me.
11:41You could see
11:41that I was happy
11:42and that I'd moved on
11:43and you couldn't stand it.
11:44I told you.
11:46You were one of the only reasons
11:47why I wanted to stay.
11:49Well, maybe you should have
11:50mentioned that to Kim
11:51before you tried
11:51to take her to bed.
11:54And that bothers you
11:56way more than it should.
11:57That's why you're so angry.
11:59You still care.
12:00I care about my kids.
12:02My husband
12:03and my family.
12:04I couldn't give a toss
12:05about you, Graham.
12:06So you can go and sleep
12:07with whoever will have you
12:08because I don't care.
12:10The only man I need
12:12in my life
12:12is my husband.
12:34I'm so proud of you.
12:42Getting a new job.
12:44Finding somewhere to live.
12:46Getting a new life.
12:47Doing something
12:48that you really want to do.
12:49Yeah, Mum.
12:49But before you book
12:50any tickets
12:52or do anything
12:52that you can't undo,
12:53I want to tell you something.
12:55Right, Mum,
12:56I'm about to tell you
12:56something, OK?
12:58My mate in Manchester
12:59said that I can crash
13:00at hers, but...
13:03There's no job.
13:05Everything else is a lie.
13:08What, you made it all up?
13:10Yeah.
13:12There's no start-up.
13:13There's no nothing.
13:14There's...
13:14There's just someone
13:16that threw their own mum about
13:17and hurt them
13:18and then tried to run away.
13:24Welcome back.
13:26Oh, thanks, love.
13:28I've missed you, lad.
13:29You look different.
13:30You know, better like.
13:31Now, listen,
13:31you sit down
13:32and get yourself comfy, yeah?
13:33Make your brew.
13:34Oh, yes, please.
13:36Where have you been, Dylan, lad?
13:38Eh, worried about you.
13:40So?
13:41What do we do?
13:42Nothing.
13:43What do we call the police?
13:44What?
13:45Just spoil him.
13:47And love him to bits.
13:51Wait for the knock at the door.
13:52So how are you feeling, then, eh?
13:53You know, in yourself, like...
13:54Oh, a lot better than I were.
13:57You know, Paddy wanted me
13:59to stop in.
13:59Make out I were worse than I am.
14:01Yeah, that's because he wanted to keep you safe
14:03until you got sentenced.
14:04But it's what we all wanted.
14:06Yeah, but I told him in the car on the way home
14:07I've never ducked out of a fight in my life
14:09and I'm not starting now.
14:12Not too late, you know.
14:13Well, if the judge don't go easy on me,
14:15then we all know that I'll get sent down.
14:17But right now,
14:18I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.
14:20We're the only people
14:21I want to be with.
14:24Oh, come on, Dad.
14:27I just wanted you to like me again.
14:30To believe in me.
14:31To be proud.
14:32So you forget I'm this...
14:34this loser who hurt you.
14:36Is that why you made it all up?
14:38You know, I thought if I said
14:39it was going to happen,
14:41then somehow it would.
14:42Oh, if only life was so easy.
14:46When I came out,
14:47I thought I was sorted.
14:48You know, I thought...
14:50I thought everything was set happening for me.
14:53But it didn't.
14:54I just feel so...
14:55so stuck.
14:57Like, however hard I try,
14:58I just...
14:59I get nowhere.
15:01Is that why you get so angry?
15:03I can't get a decent job.
15:04I can't get a date.
15:06I just can't get started.
15:08And there's so much I want to do.
15:10You know, get in a career,
15:11make something of myself,
15:13make enough money to look after you.
15:14Oh, come on.
15:15I'm the least of your worries.
15:16No, you're not.
15:19And I'd let you down.
15:21I should've sussed out, Ray.
15:22Oh, you and me,
15:23both.
15:25What he did
15:27really hurt me
15:28and it's going to take a long time
15:29for me to get over it.
15:31But, listen,
15:33I might not like what you did,
15:36but I never wanted you to leave.
15:39I really, really want you to stay.
15:43After what I've done?
15:45Come home, Arthur.
15:49Mrs Ramsey's brought some cake.
15:52Hey!
15:56Sorry, just ignore me.
15:58The door's locked.
15:59It's just you and me
16:00and a couple of cats in recovery next door.
16:03You promised you won't tell anyone?
16:07Today, I came so close to risking everything
16:11by agreeing to meet Graham.
16:13Oh, love.
16:14We talked
16:15and I really liked being close to him again.
16:18I...
16:19I wanted more.
16:21What?
16:21To take things further?
16:22That's the awful thing, Ness.
16:24I don't know.
16:26But when he looks at me
16:29and when we're together,
16:30it's like he's never been away.
16:31I don't know.
16:50Especially if it's reached the ears of your special friend.
16:54You know, the married woman you seem to be obsessed with.
16:57Oh, come off it, Graham.
16:58It's obvious you've been messaging that frumpy little vet.
17:02So it was you.
17:03You think I want to publicise the fact that I've still got terrible taste in men?
17:08No, no. The only person I told was...
17:12Lydia?
17:14A word, please?
17:16She can't stand him!
17:17Well, if he can charm her into bed, you can see why I didn't stand a chance.
17:21So you've told him to back off, yeah?
17:22If I wasn't bothered, I wouldn't care, right?
17:25But you do still care.
17:28Graham said to me yesterday that if I didn't show up to meet him, he would leave me alone.
17:32So, you know, it was over with.
17:34But I still made the decision to meet with him.
17:37I wanted him, Ness.
17:39I was on my way out of that door.
17:42And if nursery hadn't have called me, then...
17:45I'd probably be with Graham right now and my marriage would be over.
17:48And now?
17:49Well, the minute I heard about Kim, you know, I snapped out of it.
17:52What was I thinking?
17:54I have the most perfect life with Marlon, you know?
17:58We've been through so much and we've come out the other side stronger and he loves me, you know?
18:02He loves me in a way that Graham never could.
18:05And I love him.
18:09I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn.
18:11I saw Rona in the cafe and I couldn't help myself.
18:14I just blurted it out.
18:16Kim was so upset this morning.
18:18No, I wasn't.
18:20I was just grateful that I didn't have to endure another night like last night ever again.
18:25And you took it on yourself to spread the news.
18:28So my instincts are right.
18:31Well, I hope for Rona's sake that there's nothing clandestine going on.
18:36Because you've just admitted to Lydia, Marlon's relative, that there is.
18:41She's a married woman.
18:43I wouldn't dream of compromising her position.
18:46All we ever did was talk.
18:48That's your story and you're sticking to it.
18:52Or maybe you are telling the truth and she refuses to bunk up behind her husband's back.
18:58So you thought you'd settle for a bit of no-strings fun with me.
19:02And I've regretted it ever since.
19:05Didn't feel like you were regretting much last night.
19:08You're toxic.
19:10Vindictive.
19:12Manipulative.
19:13You forgot the word, bitch.
19:14That's enough.
19:15You both need to stop this right now.
19:17You use me.
19:18I felt sorry for you.
19:19I pitied you.
19:21Easy to say that now.
19:23You're still the same monster you've always been.
19:26And that, my love,
19:29is why you'll die alone.
19:41I can't stand it.
19:42We're sat here like we're not expecting to knock at the door.
19:44Yeah, but they can't.
19:45No, not yet.
19:45What, so we just sit here, pretend everything's fine?
19:48Yeah, we do what we can to make him happy.
19:50She's back.
19:51Oh, I borrowed some of you aftershave.
19:53The lemony one.
19:55Oh, you smell flippin' gorgeous.
19:57Nice bath.
19:58Best ever.
19:59They only had showers at the unit, so I've been looking forward to a good long soak.
20:03Oh, to be clean, warm, and loved.
20:08I'll never take it for granted again.
20:10I love you too.
20:11Yeah, we all do.
20:13Listen, sit down.
20:14Me and Pads are off into town, and we're going to get a chippy tea.
20:18Ooh.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Extra curry sauce, extra mushy peas.
20:21Ooh, and scraps.
20:23And have you got a couple of cans in the fridge?
20:25Because I can have the odd one with me meds.
20:27Yeah, I'll get you one.
20:30Don't answer it.
20:32Go on, son.
20:33Look, get upstairs, lock yourself in the toilet.
20:35Right, listen, we won't tell them you're here.
20:37We'll be Pads.
20:37They'll know you've picked me up.
20:39Pads.
20:41Dad.
20:44Dad!
20:48I've been expecting you.
20:49Come in.
20:50Thanks.
20:52You're looking well.
20:54We checked in with the secure unit this afternoon, and they told us that you'd been released.
20:58Yeah, but she shouldn't have been, because he's not fully recovered yet.
21:00We'd like you to come with us now to the station.
21:02Well, he's only just got home.
21:04One night, with his family, and we'll drop him off in the morning.
21:06You do what you have to do, love.
21:09So, when you get to the station, you'll be charged with breaching the terms of your bail conditions.
21:15And we'd also like to ask you some further questions.
21:18So, you might want to contact your solicitor.
21:21The phone's our offer for me, will you, son?
21:24All right, let's get this over and done with, shall we?
21:29I love you, Dad.
21:30You all do.
