00:32Turn the wheels to me. To you.
00:35Listen to the pair. You sound like the Chuckle Brothers.
00:37That'll do, Sam. Jump down, let's get some blocks behind it. Stop it rolling.
00:41Since when have you bothered with stuff like that?
00:43What, we don't need accidents on top of everything else, do we?
00:45You don't need to worry about me. Just worry about getting this thing going.
00:48You'll be lucky. It's a right heap of junk.
00:50Well, so are you, but you keep chugging on.
00:52Eh? Eh?
00:55Well, thanks for helping out.
00:58Well, looks like you've got it covered.
01:00Do I. Why are you off?
01:02Er, Robert Thorntey's got something to show me at the farm.
01:05Well, you've helped him out enough. You should be thinking about this place.
01:09From the man who ignored anything to do with his wife's birthday.
01:18Right, come on. Let's crack on with this.
01:28Don't worry about me. Carry on sleeping.
01:32Oh, you're just in time. I'm absolutely parched. You want to do me the honours, would you?
01:36Yeah, sure.
01:37Well, I don't know.
01:42Ta.
01:47She seems so content.
01:51She's probably still shattered, to be fair. We've both been through the mill, haven't we?
01:56Where's Sarah?
01:57Parking the car. Road rage was kicking in, so I left her to it.
02:00Oh, wise move. But she's okay. She's not stressing out or anything.
02:04Only in a good way.
02:06How about you? How are you feeling?
02:08Honestly?
02:10I just want to plonk myself on the sofa with a cheeky glass of wine and let you lot wait
02:13on me hand and foot.
02:15God, I say you don't deserve it.
02:17Well, I've word with your boss, then, will you? Pull some strings, get me out of here.
02:21That's if she's still your boss.
02:25She is.
02:27I took your advice and I withdrew my complaint.
02:30You've done the right thing.
02:31Yeah, well, like you said, I've got a family to think about now.
02:36Well, I spoke to Todd. We both agreed to make a fresh start.
02:40Good.
02:42Well, she's obviously a brilliant doctor.
02:44You're going to learn loads from her, aren't you?
02:46Yeah.
02:48Thank you for making me see sense.
02:51Ooh.
02:52I think someone knows her daddy's in the room.
02:55And by the way, she needs a nappy changing and it's your turn this time.
03:05Ah, now I see why you messaged me.
03:08No, this isn't it.
03:10I've got something for you inside.
03:12I thought they heard we're arriving today.
03:15Yeah, it is.
03:16Well, don't you think we need to sort this before they do?
03:19No, no, honestly, you've done enough, right?
03:21I've got something for you to say thanks.
03:23It's in the house.
03:23Well, as nice as that sounds, this is way more important, don't you think?
03:27And besides the mood I'm in, I could do with smashing a few things up.
03:31Sounds ominous.
03:32Only if you're keen.
03:34Shall we get stuck in?
03:35As long as you know you don't have to.
03:37Look, I want to help.
03:38But don't worry, I'm not delusional.
03:40I know this isn't my farm anymore.
03:43Why can I say no, then?
03:44You can't, that's the point.
03:54Seems even changing an apicart wipe the smile off your face.
03:59She's beautiful.
04:00Just like a mum.
04:06Sorry.
04:07You'd not believe that you idiot's trying to park.
04:10Whereas I've had a lovely time changing a nappy.
04:12Oh, it'll wear off, believe me.
04:14Babies might be cute, but they're just poo machines.
04:17Here's me worrying you might change your mind.
04:19Well, now you mention it.
04:22I'm kidding.
04:24The only reason I put myself through this in the first place was for you.
04:28So there's no getting out of it now?
04:30No way.
04:31We've been waiting for this moment for so long.
04:34Right, well, hand me over the consent forms and let's get the formalities over.
04:37Cos I reckon once I've signed, you'll be good to take her own.
04:42Let's make your little family official, shall we?
04:44Oh!
04:46Oh!
04:48Oh!
04:50Oh!
05:13Seized.
05:14Yeah, you've already had your operation delayed once.
05:17I know that.
05:18Well, then get it seen to.
05:20I can call Liam.
05:21No, don't call it.
05:22Right, can you just sort this out?
05:24I'll go and clean this up.
05:25You're both pecking me head.
05:30Oh, of course it's no bother.
05:32Panny's putting the kettle on.
05:33Do you fancy one?
05:33Strong.
05:34Milk.
05:34No sugar.
05:35Er, thanks, but I need to get back to the pub.
05:37Look, I just thought I'd let you know that I had a call from Eve's school earlier.
05:41Call about what?
05:42Well, it's nothing bad.
05:43Well, not bad, bad.
05:44It's just she got upset in class.
05:46Some talk she'd heard in the playground.
05:50Er, about me.
05:52Well, with everything that's going around, with the trial coming up.
05:54Yeah, well, they can keep the big go shut.
05:57You see, they pick up what the parents are saying to them before, you know it.
05:59This happens.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Should've known better.
06:02Of course people are going to talk.
06:04Well, we need to talk to Eve ourselves then, don't we?
06:06At least that way we can give her our version of what happened.
06:09I'm sorry to bring this to you.
06:10You've got so much going on.
06:12Protecting Eve's the most important thing.
06:15And, you know, we are the truth.
06:24Oh, I wasn't meant to do some decorating, but, erm, well, yeah, life happens.
06:31Yeah, we're finding that.
06:33Like clearing out barns.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Well, I enjoyed it.
06:38I haven't grafted in at that for a while.
06:39Well, I've got some beers in, if you fancy one.
06:41You definitely deserve it.
06:43Aye, well, maybe one.
06:44If you are too.
06:46We make a good team, given the chance.
06:49Oh, and before you say it,
06:51I know that's not why you messaged me.
06:53No, no, I, erm...
07:00I got this.
07:02To give you.
07:04Oh, er...
07:05Sorry.
07:08Erm...
07:08You said it was your birthday yesterday.
07:10I had some paper knocking around, so...
07:12I don't know what to say.
07:22I found them in the attic.
07:26Erm...
07:26They're so good.
07:27I had them framed.
07:28I guess they must be, er...
07:30Oh, yes, yeah.
07:31They are.
07:35Yeah, I also kind of got some food in as well,
07:38like a belated birthday treat.
07:40Why would you do that?
07:43I just...
07:43I just felt so bad, you know, you're...
07:45helping me out so much, and you're not working on your own farm.
07:49Right now, I like being here a lot more, believe me.
07:52Yeah, I know.
07:54And I took that from you.
07:55You didn't take anything from me, Robert.
07:57I got myself into a mess.
07:58And I am really glad that you've finally got the chance to start again.
08:02I really am.
08:04Those IDs in the bookcase couldn't help, I guess.
08:09How do you know about that?
08:12The bookcase.
08:18Just for the socials.
08:21One very proud dad and his beautiful baby.
08:24Now, going back now.
08:25No, I don't want to.
08:26Ever.
08:28I take it this is you three going home.
08:31Congratulations.
08:33It's so exciting, but scary at the same time.
08:35In a good way, I hope.
08:37Hey, you.
08:38Do you remember me?
08:41Oh, do you know, I think she's got your eyes.
08:43Thanks.
08:44Get them from my mum.
08:46I'm sure she'd be very proud of you right now.
08:48Yeah, she would be.
08:50You're going to be an amazing dad.
08:51Well, if anyone can juggle that, and a career, Jacob can.
08:56I'll see you when you're back here.
08:57Raring to go, I hope.
09:00Gosh, we were so lucky she was there to help Gran.
09:02It's like she's our guardian angel or something.
09:08You're lying.
09:09It's written all over your face.
09:11Just tell me.
09:13I feel bad, OK?
09:15This was your home for so many years, and I took it from you.
09:18Now you're giving me gifts, you're making me a birthday lunch.
09:22Doesn't make sense.
09:24I'm not going to drop this, if that's what you think.
09:26OK, I...
09:29I haven't exactly been up front with you.
09:31Yeah, I get that.
09:33It's what about that troubles me.
09:34You're going to hate me, and I deserve it, but I...
09:36For God's sake, stop stalling and just tell me.
09:38What have you done?
09:42I'm the one who put the IDs in the bookcase.
09:46You went to prison because of me.
10:02I didn't know how things were going to turn out, OK?
10:05I thought it was just some tax dodge.
10:07I didn't know anything about the slavery, the drugs, any of that.
10:10So why do it in the first place?
10:12Because you wanted to get me in trouble because you wanted to get your hands on this farm?
10:15No, no.
10:16Well, yes, but no.
10:17I changed my mind about the IDs, but the police had already started their search.
10:21If you changed your mind, how come you didn't say anything?
10:24I got put on remand robber.
10:26I came this close to going to prison.
10:28And I did everything I could to get you out.
10:30I helped find the evidence that proved you were innocent.
10:33Joe had me over a barrel.
10:36Are you telling me Joe knows about this?
10:39Oh, of course he does.
10:41Because he was after the farm and he used you to get it.
10:44If I could have said no to Joe, I would have.
10:46Oh, don't give me that.
10:47You saw a chance to cosy up with Joe Tate and you took it.
10:50And I actually thought you'd change, but it looks like I've paid dearly for that.
10:54I didn't do this for me.
10:55I did this to protect Vic.
10:57Oh, this just gets better and better.
11:00Vic isn't here, so you think you can just use her to mitigate your greed?
11:03Are you really that pathetic?
11:04Joe had something on her, something really bad, right?
11:07And he used it to blackmail me, to plant those ID documents.
11:09Even now you were still lying to me.
11:11Why?
11:12Because I had no choice.
11:13Joe knew what Vic had done.
11:14Well, what could Victoria do that was so bad?
11:16She killed John.
11:19Ah, come in.
11:21It's only Daddy were waiting inside.
11:22Hey, you.
11:23What's that?
11:24Well, she's been doing a project on Africa at school, hasn't she?
11:27And she's drawing you a picture of a giraffe.
11:29Oh.
11:31Look.
11:32Oh, yeah.
11:33Now, how did you know that they're my favourite animal in the entire world?
11:38Do you know why?
11:40Because they remind me of Uncle Marlon.
11:42Don't tell him I said that.
11:45Well, we're going to see a giraffe at the zoo.
11:50Erm.
11:52Do you know what?
11:54I think I'd absolutely love that.
11:56But we might have to just wait just a little while.
12:01Because the thing is, I know you've heard some things at school about me and Dylan and your grandad.
12:09And because of that, in a few days, I have to go to court.
12:14And then after that, I might have to go to prison.
12:19Eve, love, erm, do you understand all that?
12:22Because if you want to ask any questions...
12:25Did grandad hurt a bad man?
12:28I'm afraid so, yeah.
12:31Yeah, but that really bad man hurt daddy and Dylan.
12:35Yeah.
12:36Grandad was trying to protect us, so I wanted to help him.
12:39And what daddy did was, was right, you know.
12:43How long will you go away for?
12:47Erm.
12:48Well.
12:50It might be quite a long time.
12:55But you can come and visit, can't you?
12:56You can bring some pictures.
13:00I don't want you to go.
13:02I don't want you to go.
13:09I'm going to leave you.
13:13Come on.
13:14It's going to be alright, innit?
13:16You'll see.
13:17I'll get through this.
13:22John had drugged Vic.
13:23And he came after Aaron.
13:27And the crash happened.
13:29And he escaped into the woods.
13:31Somehow Vic found him.
13:32They argued and...
13:34He got violent.
13:36And...
13:37How did Joe find out?
13:39He saw it.
13:41He filmed the whole thing.
13:42He threatened to take it to the police.
13:44So you did what he wanted?
13:46She's my sister.
13:47I had to protect her.
13:48Surely you can at least understand that.
13:51So that's why Vic was so intent on getting me to sign off on selling the farm.
13:55She hated herself for doing that.
13:57The guilt ate her up.
13:59So she left?
14:01Well, you stuck around getting everything you ever wanted.
14:05Why do you think I've told you?
14:06You've been so good to me.
14:07I couldn't live with myself.
14:12I'm not asking for forgiveness.
14:16I just hope that you can find it in yourself to understand.
14:20You've got no right to ask me that.
14:21I know.
14:22It's the police you should be talking to.
14:24Please, Moira.
14:24Surely you can find a way...
14:25To what?
14:27Put it behind us and move on.
14:29You helped ruin my life.
14:32My husband went through a cancer diagnosis alone.
14:35You put my family through hell.
14:37I know.
14:37And whatever I do, that is on you.
14:39So if you don't tell the police, I will.
14:41Please, please, Moira.
14:42I know you hate me, but please don't do this.
14:44Moira, please think of Vic!
14:48So that's it, then.
14:50Jacob's dropped the complaint.
14:51We had a deal.
14:53Nothing more to see here.
14:55It would seem so.
14:58So we're good.
15:00We're good.
15:02Right.
15:03And listen, when Jacob comes back to work, please, we go easy on him.
15:08I pushed talent because I wanted to succeed.
15:11But from now on, I will be mindful about how much pressure I apply.
15:15Ah!
15:16Here's the hero of the hour.
15:18How's the patient doing?
15:19Doing well.
15:20All things considered.
15:21Yeah.
15:22Tough as old boots, us lot.
15:24It's in the jeans.
15:25I'm sure it is.
15:26I'll leave you to catch up.
15:30No.
15:32Nicer, isn't she?
15:33It's like one of them good souls you hear about.
15:38Everything all right?
15:39Yeah.
15:39Sorry, just ignore me.
15:42I think I'm going a bit stir-crazy stuck in here.
15:45What I wouldn't do to curl up in that bed over there, shut the world out.
15:49What?
15:49Why?
15:50What's happened?
15:51Paddy.
15:53Eve.
15:54The whole heartbreak of him having to tell her that you might go to prison.
15:58I mean, where do I start?
15:59Oh, babe.
16:06Cain?
16:07Cain, where are you?
16:08He'll never believe it.
16:09I've just found her.
16:11Stop banging on, Sam.
16:12It's just a cut.
16:13I've already cleaned it.
16:13So just leave it.
16:14Yeah.
16:15And the last thing you need is an infection before your operation.
16:18I've thought this again.
16:19Do you know what?
16:20You're an infection.
16:21One that I'm going to have to deal with.
16:23What's happened?
16:24Nothing.
16:25Right.
16:25I've just caught my hand working on the tracks and Fat Egg here.
16:29He's acting like Florence Nightingale.
16:31It were bleeding loads.
16:33And now it's not.
16:34So just leave it.
16:35Well, have it your way.
16:36What do I care?
16:37I'm only your brother.
16:38Oh, Fat Egg.
16:41Cain, I just...
16:41Don't.
16:42Start.
16:43I'm just sick of everybody treating me like a patient.
16:46Well, trust me, I've got my own problems to worry about.
16:48If you want to go and work for Robert for free, that's your choice.
16:50No, what?
16:51I need to tell you something.
16:52If you've got your own problems, then you need to deal with them and stop banging on at me.
17:06Have you been with Cain?
17:08I was until he's just cut his hand and kicked off, so I've left him to it.
17:11Why don't you sup?
17:12So you've not seen Moira?
17:14I haven't heard anything she's said.
17:16Like what?
17:19Please don't tell me you've done what I think you've done.
17:21I was trying to be nice, right?
17:22I gave her a birthday gift and trying to kill some of this guilt that I've been feeling.
17:26How much have you told her?
17:30All of it.
17:32The IDs, Joe Blackmailing me, what Vic did.
17:35I don't believe you.
17:36We've been sitting on this for months and then you decided you're just going to blow it out of nowhere.
17:40I couldn't lie to her.
17:41She could tell that I was holding back.
17:42She kept asking questions.
17:44And what?
17:45And I told her I had no choice.
17:47I was doing it to protect Vic.
17:48And why?
17:50And I thought I was getting through to her.
17:52Until she started banging on about the police.
17:56Wait, where are you going?
17:57Well, where do you think I'm going?
17:58I'm going to go and find Moira and beg her to keep her mouth shut before it's too late.
18:05She is perfect.
18:07Just like her name.
18:09We think so.
18:12Only wish your mum were here to meet her.
18:16Yeah, me too.
18:18I guess all we can do now is make sure she knows how special her mum was.
18:22Yeah.
18:23She'd have loved her instantly.
18:25Like me.
18:28I can't believe she's actually our responsibility now.
18:31Yeah.
18:32You'll do as you do.
18:34You will smash it.
18:36Did you just say smash it?
18:39Yeah.
18:41Must be a Kerry thing that's rubbed off of me.
18:45Yeah.
18:46See, she's been making banners.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Hey, and believe me, this is the toned-down version.
18:53And she's absolutely gutted that she's not here to see this little angel arriving home.
18:59Yeah, she won't be saying that when she's waking up screaming in the middle of the night for a feed.
19:04Ah, but she won't know.
19:06It's because the bar has become vacant, so we're going to stay over there for a few nights.
19:11Give you a chance to be yourselves.
19:13Oh, yeah?
19:15That's his excuse and he's sticking to it.
19:18But we've stocked the fridge out with essentials, so all you've got to do is look after you three.
19:26Oh, thank you. That's really kind.
19:29Got your eyes.
19:30Yeah, that's what Dr Todd said.
19:32Gosh, she's been amazing with us.
19:34I don't know what we'd have done without her.
19:37Now it's time to focus on us.
19:39Our perfect family.
19:41Quite right.
19:42Oh, I can't tell you how happy I am.
19:54Sammy.
19:56Where's our cane?
19:58Oh, I stormed off in and off.
19:59Where to?
20:00Where to?
20:01I'll check it out when whoever gets in his way.
20:03If I were you, I'd stay clear.
20:05That's what I'm doing.
20:07Off to the yard to get some parts.
20:13Oh, you have got some nerve giving what he did to me.
20:16And I take it you knew all along, went along with a lie.
20:19What do you take me for?
20:21The minute Robert told me what happened, we did everything to get you out of there and we did.
20:24I was only in there because of him.
20:26Do you not think this family's been through enough as it is?
20:28If that's your way of trying to shut me up, I wouldn't push it.
20:31Listen, Moira.
20:33I wish we could change what happened, but we can't.
20:35So all I can do now is try and deal with what's coming next for all of us.
20:38Well, that's easy to say when you haven't lived through it.
20:40I know.
20:41Yeah, I know.
20:42But all I'm asking you is...
20:45just think carefully before you say or do anything that you can't take back.
20:49I lost my home, Aaron.
20:51I went to prison.
20:52Cain had to fight cancer alone.
20:53Didn't have to fight it alone.
20:54The whole family did everything we could.
20:56And what did he do?
20:57I let you down.
20:59Right?
21:00For that, I'm sorry.
21:00Do me a favour.
21:01Don't say that you didn't have a choice because you did.
21:04Are you telling me you wouldn't have done this for Mackenzie if he was in this situation?
21:07Moira, please.
21:07If you go to the police, it's Vic that's going to suffer.
21:10I'm not going to the police, okay?
21:11Victoria is like a daughter to me and I would never do that to her.
21:14But you, you have got no right to ask me for anything.
21:17And I won't.
21:18Ever again.
21:22Well, I wouldn't get too excited.
21:24I'm still going to tell Cain.
21:26You might want to be a million miles away when I do.
