00:28I'm all clicked here.
00:30She can cover you up.
00:31Yay!
00:32Is that cosy?
00:33Is it cosy?
00:36Graham.
00:37Hi, to see you.
00:38No, not here.
00:40Later, maybe.
00:41I'll call you.
00:41Just go.
00:49You can all stop at ours.
00:51No need.
00:51We'll find somewhere.
00:52You can't be happy about this.
00:54Morris sold up, end of.
00:57Yep.
00:59Speaking.
01:00What, Broken Down where?
01:01Hey, you!
01:03Just drop me a pin, yeah?
01:06Can I help you?
01:06Yeah.
01:07You can tell Kim from me that I always knew that she was a cow,
01:10but this is a new law for her.
01:12If you're referring to the sale of Butler's...
01:14She's chucked Cain and the boy's out.
01:16I'm no apologist for Kim, but I was assured Cain could stay for as long as he wanted.
01:25Look, I'm not unsympathetic, but Moira agreed to sell.
01:30It's a legitimate deal.
01:33It's above board.
01:35If you're looking for a scapegoat, look elsewhere.
01:48You got coffee?
01:50So you're still talking to me then?
01:52I just needed a bit of space last night.
01:54I get it.
01:58I said I'm sorry.
02:00I never wanted you to have to choose between me and your family.
02:03I chose you though, didn't I?
02:05Yeah.
02:06And I'll always be grateful for that.
02:08You won't regret it.
02:09Promise.
02:11I was thinking, um...
02:13Maybe tonight we could, uh, we could start packing.
02:17Wow.
02:18Talk about dead man's shoes.
02:19We can't just move in there the minute Cain moves out.
02:21So the cattle will just feed themselves?
02:24Running a farm's 24-7.
02:26We've got to be on site as soon as.
02:27Everything else we can fix.
02:29And what if we can?
02:30Cain's never going to get over this tenancy, is he?
02:32And the rest of the family are piling on.
02:34Me mum won't answer me calls.
02:35We could lose them all.
02:36And then how's that going to work?
02:38Us on one side and the rest of them lot on the other.
02:40So you want me...
02:41You want me to go back to Joe,
02:43tell him that I'm giving up the farm for the second time?
02:46Yeah.
02:48If we're going to work, then yeah, that's what you're going to have to do.
02:51I'm going to get a shower.
02:54I know.
02:55Bless Kyle.
02:56I think he's just putting a brave face on for his dad.
02:58I mean, he only lost his mum a year ago and he's losing his house now.
03:02No, because Moira's chosen for whatever reason to sell it from under them.
03:05The offer Kim there must have been off the scale.
03:07Well, it must have been the cash that swung it.
03:10I mean, Moira's going to get banged up for years.
03:11And, well, I mean, nobody knows how long Cain's got,
03:14so they've got to look out for the kids.
03:16I trust you to see the positive side.
03:18What can I get you?
03:19Flat white to take away, please.
03:22Kerry, you haven't forgotten about our lunchtime meeting, have you?
03:26Meeting?
03:27I'll let the others know, yeah.
03:28We'll be prepared and ready to go.
03:30I'm looking forward to it.
03:32Mm-hm.
03:35Hey, how's it going?
03:37Is everything all right?
03:39Just, you seem so aimless.
03:43You know, like you've lost your drive, you get up and go.
03:47Archie's been asking what's wrong with you.
03:50I told him what I'm telling you now.
03:52You need a purpose, Arthur.
03:54You know, something that gets you up every morning,
03:57that isn't to do with a games console or food.
04:01I had a word with Caleb,
04:02and there might be an opportunity coming up at the depot.
04:04What, a job?
04:05Just a couple of hours each day.
04:07You know, a junior position in packing.
04:09Yeah, thanks.
04:10But my skill set's more in the, you know, digital market.
04:13Social media.
04:14Hey, there's nothing wrong with learning the business from the bottom up,
04:17you know, what my dad made me do.
04:18Probably because you were an insufferable brat with an attitude problem.
04:21Thanks.
04:23Just have a think about it.
04:24OK?
04:25We'll talk later, all right?
04:28Hey.
04:30Hey, have you got a minute?
04:32Yeah, I suppose.
04:33Look, I'm worried about Laurel.
04:35In that house, all alone with Dottie.
04:37Oh, I can't go back, so don't ask me.
04:39You think skulking at Jay's is going to make things any better?
04:41What?
04:42What's that supposed to mean?
04:43Nothing.
04:47I always thought that break law was making me have a bit weird.
04:50What are you hiding?
04:53We're at Mum's accident.
04:56You were all right all along?
04:57She was lying to protect me.
04:59She didn't fall downstairs or black out.
05:02I pushed her over and she hit her head.
05:04Oh, my God.
05:05I couldn't hate myself any more.
05:12It's all still very raw.
05:14It's a lot for all of us to take in.
05:17That Maura had decided to sell.
05:19It was her call.
05:20She wanted rid.
05:21Nothing to do with Joe piling on the pressure?
05:24Luring Kane into stealing that ridiculous car?
05:26Threatening him with the police?
05:27You know I don't condone what Joe did.
05:30In fact, he's made things a whole lot worse.
05:32But Kane's diagnosis, it changes everything.
05:36You know as well as I do, that farm was heading for bankruptcy.
05:40Maura put her family first.
05:42Got out while she can.
05:44Paid off her debt so Kane can face his treatment and recovery without any added stress.
05:51How was she in prison?
05:55Tearful.
05:58Heartbroken.
05:59And if that was me, my husband's stricken with cancer and I couldn't be at his side, I don't know
06:04how I'd have dealt with that.
06:07Like you deal with everything.
06:09You're game face on, defences up.
06:11Thought you were out.
06:12I had a couple of hours to kill.
06:14Before what?
06:15Can't be anything to do with Joe, because he and Dawn will be halfway to London by now.
06:20It isn't.
06:22Expecting a call?
06:24Maybe.
06:27Afternoon, ladies.
06:29We're not ladies, we're women.
06:36He's so infuriating.
06:38Glue to his phone like a teenager.
06:40Maybe it's that call he's expecting.
06:43I, erm...
06:45I saw him with Rona yesterday.
06:48Your point being?
06:49They were talking.
06:51Heads together.
06:52Way too close for a married woman to be to her ex.
06:54And you thought that snippet of gossip was relevant to me, how?
06:58Because the way you just looked at him now.
07:01Graeme can do what he wants, with whom he wants.
07:03I have zero interest in that charlatan whatsoever.
07:12Are you going to tell me what happened, then?
07:18It was an accident.
07:20Me and Mum were having an argument about her seeing Ray's body.
07:24She stood in front of me to stop me from leaving, so I pushed her and she lost her balance.
07:30It was horrible.
07:33She was just lying there, I thought I'd killed her.
07:36Is that why she isn't letting you back in the house, then?
07:41Well...
07:41I've told her how sorry I am.
07:43I never meant to hurt her.
07:46All she's ever done is love me.
07:48I'm a bad person.
07:50A waste of space.
07:51Dad would have hated me.
07:54I bet you do now.
07:56No, he wouldn't.
07:57Dad would have understood that you've...
07:59made a mistake.
08:01And you can't unmake it, but you have to own it.
08:04Do what you can to make things right, if that's what you really want to do.
08:07Of course he's.
08:08Then you need to take a hard look at yourself, Arthur.
08:11Take ownership of your behaviour and do the work.
08:13Because the only person who can solve all of this now is you.
08:22Told you earlier.
08:24Not here.
08:26Marlon?
08:26No, he's at work.
08:28But my mum could come back at any minute.
08:30Somebody could have seen you at the door.
08:31You didn't call.
08:32I haven't had time.
08:34When you asked me that question yesterday, what I wanted...
08:37Not now.
08:38Every word, every move when I'm away from you.
08:46We can't carry on like this.
08:48We can't keep pretending nothing's going on.
08:49You can't be here.
09:00I'll be at the footbridge at half past twelve.
09:02If you're there, we'll talk.
09:03If not...
09:05I promise.
09:07I'll keep my distance.
09:11I'll keep my distance.
09:34I'll keep my distance.
09:41please? You want a drink? You need to go somewhere else. Look, it's not her you should be slagging
09:48off. Little old fauntleroy's behind all this. Moira's done the right thing. Put her ego
09:54aside. Made a sensible business decision. Put Cain and her family first, which meant
10:00that my family could give your family a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Robert Sugden ever thinks
10:06there'll be one of us after this. What, because he grabbed the chance to better himself? But
10:10why him? Hmm? What's in it for you? Robert's going to be paying market rent, just like every
10:17other tenant. Just like them slavers. But you don't care where your cash comes from, do
10:22you, Kim? Because you're just a cold-hearted bitch who will trample on anybody to get what
10:26she wants. One glass of wine, please. Oh, what the hell. Make it a bottle.
10:42Hello? Yeah, that's me. Ivy? Right, how bad was the fall? Okay, yeah, no, I'll be there
10:52straight away. Thank you, love. Bye.
11:12Get out. The only way you'll remove me from here is by force. Yes, get in. Go on.
11:19Gary. Ladies. What is it with my family, eh? Your creature nicks a kidney from one brother
11:28and the other's got cancer. Why won't you just leave us in peace? For the third time, a bottle
11:35of your finest, please. You dare judge my family? Well, yours is way worse. You've got sickos,
11:42cycles. Like your son's last husband. Just all great cabaret girls, but it ends now.
11:51This isn't over. Well, if you want a drink, I mean, you could go to the more shovel.
12:00I walked in a friend, but I leave an enemy. If you think any of this is going to help
12:05Cain,
12:06then you're even less bright than I thought.
12:19Hey. Thanks for coming home. I need to stop you messaging me somehow. Got you some lunch?
12:27Thanks. And, er, I'm sorry, again, putting you through this, but we are where we are and
12:31we've got to work out our way to move forward. Together. And I really don't want to spend
12:36another night on the settee. Me neither. Look, I hear you. You don't want me to take the farm.
12:46But when I told Joe yesterday that I couldn't take it over, he just said he'd get another
12:50tenant in. And I couldn't let it happen. This way, it stays in our family. Yours and mine.
12:55It just feels right. But me backing out now, it wouldn't change anything. He'd still have
13:00cancer and Moira would still be in prison. But my family wouldn't hate us both, would they?
13:05I'm an ex-offender, Aaron. I'm never going to get another chance like this again.
13:09We can still build something. Together. For us. For Vic. And Harry. Just like I promised.
13:16Our own life. Our own way. Maybe even a little family of our own.
13:24I want this more than I've ever wanted anything. Apart from you.
13:30I can't do it without you. Don't even think about trying to put this on me.
13:34I love you. You come first. You're my world. So, if you still feel the same and you're not all
13:41in,
13:41then I'll go to Joe and I'll tell him. I'll turn it down again. For good this time.
14:00All better now, sweetheart, yeah? Oh, is she OK? Yeah. Somebody pushed her over at nursery,
14:06so we had to go and pick her up. But we are all good now, aren't we?
14:09And what about you? Yeah. Do you think you could mind her for a minute?
14:13What? Why? Well, yeah, it's just somewhere I'm meant to be and I am already late.
14:17Mummy, how about me? Oh, don't cry, darling. Auntie Ness is here. Yeah.
14:20Erm, I promise you I won't be long. Thank you so much. Er, her juice is in the fridge.
14:24OK, sorry. OK, won't be long.
14:31Hi. Mum, Mum, I'm so sorry. I hate myself for hurting you.
14:38Do you know how you've made me feel? You know, I ended up in A&E. I had to lie
14:43to doctors, to Gabby.
14:44She knows. I just told her. Oh, that couldn't have been easy, could it?
14:48Well, Gabby's right. If I keep on lying, I'll never own it. I'll never change.
14:52I can help you with that, if you mean it.
14:56I should have never lost it with you. I've been horrible to you for months.
15:00I've taken things out on you, even though you've had your own things going on.
15:04Mum, I promise I'll be better.
15:08Do you know what? I couldn't be more proud of you than I am right now.
15:12You're trying to make things right and you're being honest with yourself. That's good.
15:16Yeah, and I've started by getting myself a job. I applied ages ago.
15:20I found out I got it this morning. Digital marketing, what I've always wanted to do.
15:24That is amazing. I want to know all about it. Right, I'm going to put the kettle on.
15:27Which company is it?
15:28Well, it's this start-up in Manchester.
15:32Manchester?
15:33Oh, yeah. They really like me. And they want me to start in a few weeks.
15:37My mate's got a spare room in her apartment.
15:40Right. Arthur, I know you wanted to change things up, but, I mean, have you thought this through?
15:45Yeah, well, I can't go back now, can I? I've hurt you too much.
15:50I hate the person that I'm turning into, but Gabby was right.
15:53You know, I've got to do the work. If I can get away and get my head right,
15:57then maybe we stand a chance of getting things together.
16:02No, you're right. If you've got your heart set on it, and it's something you really want to do,
16:06then I'm not going to stand in your way, love.
16:32You're right, Father.
16:37No, you're right, for my god.
16:39No, I'm not going to stand in.
16:39No, I'm not going to stand in your way.
16:39No, but what's so important is?
16:39limit. Want to share? Chas, we just had a running about that wretched farm. As if
16:46the only reason I bought the place was to persecute her family. Drink? With you?
16:54Seems as if you have a lot to unpack and as I'm the only other person in the
16:58building. Brandy, please. Make it a large one. You know, I should know by now. No
17:08good deed ever goes unpunished. Yeah, I tried to do the right thing, be aware of
17:13all the sensitivities, but I just get shrieked at, humiliated by some two-bit
17:19barmaid. As if she's got so much as a toenails worth of moral high ground. I
17:25see. Cheers. I gave Kim what for. Yeah, you started it. So what did you expect us to do?
17:36Just give us the farm back.
17:41You, out. No, no, no. You, out. I need to speak to these two.
17:46Eh? Kim? I know you mean well, but just...
17:53Mum. Don't. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Like I told you, we didn't think this would
18:06actually happen. You guys want this place so badly, your funeral. What? Well, so you're
18:17okay with us. No, I'm not. And I never will be. But I've got bigger battles to fight now.
18:23All right. We'll have our stuff out soon, as. Doors that way.
18:38You know, I shouldn't even have to be doing this on my own. Joe's supposed to be managing
18:42the estate. But I know, he's taken Dawn to London for a spa day. Anything else you want to
18:49offload? Where do I start? Wherever you want. I'd forgotten just how beautiful you are when
19:03you're angry. Seriously? And right now, you look irresistibly
19:10furious. Almost as furious as you were that first night we crossed the line. Went from
19:18strictly business to... to something more. You're flirting with me? Fate has brought me back into
19:28your life for a reason. After so long apart, just seeing you again has brought it all back.
19:40Wherever you think this is going. I know where I'd like it to. And we both know how that's
19:46going to end. We know better than anyone. Life's brutal and short. What's the harm in seizing
19:57the day? Grabbing a moment of hope while we still can. You really are loathsome, aren't
20:04you? You've wanted me. And I've wanted you. We're two halves of the same soul, you and I.
20:17you and I. No matter what, we'll always find our way back home. And that's where the heart
20:28is. Hmm. Maybe this isn't a good idea. Maybe it is.
20:46I don't want either of us to rush into something we might regret. Regret? I've had a few, but
21:01I promise you. This won't be one of them.
21:28A summer escape with his family was supposed to be just that, but a chance encounter changes
21:32everything. Dominic West and Ruth Wilson start in The Affair tomorrow here at nine. Next,
21:37it's Coronation Street.
21:38It's Coronation Street.
21:39It's Coronation Street.
21:42It's Coronation Street.
