00:32Coffee? Or would you rather go out for breakfast? Graham? Something wrong? Nothing. I just thought last night calls for
00:45a little celebration. I mean, waking up with you again was definitely not on my bingo card for this lifetime.
00:51Nor am I. I think I'll pass on breakfast, thanks. And maybe we should keep what happened last night to
01:02ourselves for now.
01:04Any particular reason why? Something to do with the messages you've been reading on your phone?
01:12Last night was an error of judgment on my part, for which I can only apologise.
01:20Just what I was about to say to you over our eggs, Benedict. A one-off. Never to be repeated.
01:27At our age, we should know better.
01:31I enjoyed myself. I hope you did too.
01:35You never were good at reading the room, were you, Graham?
01:45Oh! How long does it take for four puppies to pop out? You've been called for hours.
01:50Well, the first one appeared, and then nothing. I had to take her into surgery to get a hold of
01:55the rest.
01:55Listen, sit down. I'll make you a coffee.
01:58Hey, if that's work, you can tell Vanessa and Rorah you're not coming in. You've been out since 4am!
02:03Hello? Yep, that's me. Is he all right?
02:10All right, I'll get over there. All right, bye.
02:12Hey, Dad. Yeah, he's got an assessment today and he's asked to see me.
02:16Eh? What for? He told you not to visit?
02:18Dunno. Must be getting somewhere with his treatment, which would be a good thing if all we had to do
02:22was worry about his mental health.
02:23Except it's not, is it? Because, you know, if he gets better, they're going to sling him out of that
02:27unit.
02:27Yeah, and the first thing the police are going to do is bang him up. Right? He's not up to
02:30it. We can't let it happen.
02:31I'd better get over there fast. He can't let them know he's feeling better.
02:35The 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. Why didn't you just tell me the truth?
02:45Because I was trying to protect Elsa.
02:48You know, it was an accident.
02:50Yeah, he couldn't stop crying when he told me. He was so upset.
02:54Yeah, and now he's dead set on Manchester, isn't he?
02:57Oh, hi, 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 all right with this?
03:05Well, yeah, me and Mum agree. It's the best thing for all of them.
03:07Hang on. I didn't say that.
03:09So, how much are you going to earn, then?
03:11Is it a fixed contract? Is there a trial period?
03:14I'll tell you later.
03:15All right? Do you want another coffee, Mum?
03:17Oh, yeah, lovely.
03:17I'll have an Americano.
03:20In fact, I'll give him a hand.
03:26Funny how this job has turned up just in time to get you out of Mum's hair.
03:29She wants me gone.
03:31No, she doesn't. Why would she?
03:34Do you really have to ask?
03:36Arthur, she loves you, all right?
03:38So much that she lied for you.
03:41And so do I.
03:44Legging it isn't going to solve anything.
03:46The only way to work things out is to face them head on.
03:49Even though it must hurt.
03:51Trust me, I know.
03:54Arthur.
04:02He means just drop in unannounced.
04:05No, it's OK. Come in.
04:07Sit yourself down. I've just made a brew.
04:11Don't worry. There's only me and Steve here.
04:15Hey, what's the matter?
04:17Oh, I have been so stupid.
04:22You're not going to believe what I did last night.
04:25Graham.
04:27And 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.
04:43And told me everything I wanted to hear.
04:46The worst thing was...
04:49It felt so right.
04:52After so many years and 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, but...
05:06When we were together, just the two of us...
05:11It was as if we'd never been apart.
05:13But this morning...
05:15He 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, there were messages.
05:30Rona?
05:32I assume so.
05:35Seems like there are still three people in this non-relationship.
05:40You know, if Graeme thinks that he can just use me, then cast me aside...
05:45Well...
05:47He never really knew me at all.
05:54Hey, Dad.
05:55Hi.
05:58You look well.
06:00Hi.
06:00I got you some coffee from the day room.
06:03Tastes like dishwater, but at least a sort.
06:05How have you been?
06:07Ah.
06:07Well, they put me on some meds and things began to lift.
06:10And then...
06:11I started talking.
06:13Just about the farm.
06:14Nothing else.
06:15And not all of that either.
06:16So you've not said anything?
06:17Even though they tried to winkle things out from the deepest corners of your mind, I stood fast.
06:23Good.
06:24All you need to do is keep that up.
06:26And the talking.
06:26It helped me see how much Ray and Celia had messed with me head.
06:31But I'm getting stronger every day.
06:33Fantastic.
06:35Dad, you do know you can't admit that to anyone.
06:39Not the doctors or the therapists or anyone.
06:42You reckon?
06:43Yeah.
06:46We do know the trial's going ahead.
06:48But if you're not well enough, the CPS might drop the charges.
06:52I know you mean well.
06:53But I've told the doctors that if I'm clear, I'm signing myself out this afternoon.
06:59Dad.
07:00I've already told Miss Lister.
07:03She knows what I'm going to do.
07:04I can't hide here forever.
07:08I've done a bad thing.
07:10And I've gone enough to face the consequences.
07:17Hey.
07:19Hi.
07:20Um.
07:21I'm sorry about yesterday.
07:23I couldn't make it.
07:24And I missed your calls all night.
07:26Well, I was on my way there.
07:27And then the nursery called and I had to come pick up Ivy.
07:29You should go.
07:29Yeah, yeah.
07:30Just a little graze.
07:31I was clapping so much I forgot my phone.
07:33And if it hadn't been for that, you'd have been in the bridge?
07:36Yeah, but you'd gone by the time I got there.
07:37And then you weren't picking up your phone, so...
07:39Well, I thought you weren't speaking to me.
07:41I was...
07:42I was distracted.
07:44Oh.
07:45If you do still want to meet, I could take lunch at 12.30 today.
07:49Same time, same place.
07:54Hello, Rona.
07:55Hi.
07:56How's Ivy?
07:57Marlon said she took a tumble yesterday.
07:58Yeah, she's good.
07:59Thanks.
08:01Anyway, it's nice to see you, Graeme, but I best get on.
08:03I'm heading to Home Farm after lunch.
08:05I wasn't sure if I needed to make up your room today.
08:07No reason not to.
08:09Who's this?
08:13Er, could you make me a sandwich lunch for two to take away, please?
08:17Yeah, of course.
08:18Er, just take a seat.
08:19I'm on it.
08:27Dad, it's great that you're feeling better, but if you sign yourself out, the police will
08:31pick you up straight away.
08:33You broke your bail conditions, and you assaulted Jacob at the hospital.
08:36And I hope one day he'll forgive me for that.
08:40DS Walsh told me she'd arrest you.
08:43You'll go to prison.
08:44And that's after they ask you even more questions about Ray.
08:47They've had me back in already wanting to know about this flipping rope.
08:50Well, they still try to drag you into this.
08:52Yeah, but they can't, not without the evidence.
08:54Yeah, but if they do find something, they'll change the charges.
08:56Then we'll all be stuffed.
08:58Look, I told you, I'm feeling better.
09:01Strong enough to answer any questions the police chuck at me.
09:04To keep you safe.
09:05Mr. Halston?
09:08It's time for my assessment.
09:09Dad, please.
09:11I know what I'm doing, son.
09:14Leave it with me.
09:22Okay, here's your order, and I'll pop some of these cheese snacks at Marlon Lux 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 what she thinks about the new fillings.
09:34I've done a matcha hummus with a bit of a twist.
09:37Okay, I will.
09:40Only that lunch isn't for Vanessa either, is it?
09:42I really do have to go.
09:43It's for you and Graeme.
09:45Absolutely not.
09:46Don't lie to me.
09:48I saw the way you looked at him just now,
09:49and I saw the pair of you the other day,
09:51heads so close together,
09:52if either of you had had nits, you'd both be infested.
09:54What you saw was two people having a conversation.
09:57About Cain, as it happens.
09:58He faked his own death.
10:00He lied to you, he left you, broke your heart.
10:03You've got a lovely life now.
10:04A beautiful family, a husband who loves you.
10:07And you think it's your job to remind me of that, do you?
10:09I think you might have forgotten what you've got to lose.
10:12It's not my job to tell you what to do,
10:15but I care for you.
10:16I care for Marlon, for all of you.
10:19And regardless of what Graeme says,
10:20you go there again and he'll hurt you again.
10:23Just like you hurt Kim.
10:24Oh, that's different.
10:25It was over years ago.
10:26Kim hates him so much, she wanted him dead.
10:29Hates him so much they spent last night together.
10:32In her bed.
10:53I was beginning to think you were going to stand me up again.
10:56For your lunch.
10:57I hope it chokes you.
10:58Sorry, I'm fine.
10:59From now on, you don't go anywhere near me.
11:02You don't speak to me.
11:03You don't even look in my direction.
11:05Is that clear?
11:06No.
11:06I should never have engaged with you right from the start.
11:09You ruined my life when you faked your death.
11:11And now you think you could just barge back into my world
11:13and act like I'm not married with a family?
11:15I've got the utmost respect for you.
11:16So why did you try and reel me in again, eh?
11:18When all the while you had your eye on the main prize,
11:22I know that you spent last night with Kim.
11:25Then you know it meant nothing.
11:27Told Kim that, have you?
11:29I told her whatever happened between us was a mistake.
11:31Why did you pursue me, Graham?
11:33Eh?
11:34Going to such great lengths to help Kane?
11:37Turning up wherever I go?
11:38That's not true.
11:39You played me.
11:41You could see that I was happy and that I'd moved on
11:43and you couldn't stand it.
11:45I told you.
11:46You were one of the only reasons why I wanted to stay.
11:49What, maybe you should have mentioned that to Kim
11:51before you tried to take her to bed?
11:55And that bothers you way more than it should.
11:57That's why you're so angry.
11:59You still care.
12:01I care about my kids, my husband and my family.
12:05I couldn't give a toss about you, Graham.
12:06So you can go and sleep with whoever will have you
12:08because I don't care.
12:11The only man I need in my life is my husband.
12:15I can't.
12:27Hi.
12:29I got your message.
12:30I've made you a fish finger sandwich.

16:37afternoon good day interesting it appears someone's been telling tales about you me spreading rumors
16:46tittle-tattling about my private life awkward especially if it's reached the ears of your
16:53special friend you know the married woman you seem to be obsessed with i'll come off it graham it's
16:59obvious you've been messaging that frumpy little vet so it was you you think i want to publicize the
17:05fact that i still got terrible taste in men uh... the only person i told us
17:10lydia
17:38lydia
17:40i was on my way out of that door and if nursery hadn't have called me then i'd probably be
17:46with
17:46graham right now and my marriage would be over and now the minute i heard about kim and how i
17:52snapped
17:52out of it what was i thinking i have the most perfect life with marlon you know we've been through
17:58so
17:59much and we've come out the other side stronger and he loves me you know he loves me in a
18:03way that
18:03graham never could
18:05and i love him
