00:14What's up?
00:14Yeah.
00:15I passed by the park, yeah. You'd never know we buried the aunt in there.
00:18Good.
00:19Hey.
00:20Hey.
00:21We were just talking about the love funeral.
00:24Oh, yeah.
00:26Look, Dane, we were all out of our comfort zone the other night.
00:29And in the cold light of day, I feel pretty good.
00:33Yeah, me too. I haven't been thinking of Erica as much.
00:36Yeah, your mind's a bit clearer.
00:39It's not gonna be easy, but we all let go of a lot of stuff.
00:45Yeah.
00:46The rest of our lives, they're out there.
00:49We should get on with them.
00:53Good morning.
00:54Hi.
00:56What's that?
00:56Oh, actually, it's yours. Your photos.
01:00What?
01:02I must have taken them by mistake the other day.
01:07You're right.
01:09You possibly picked up an envelope of mine?
01:13I don't think so.
01:15Draw in there, it's a right jumble.
01:18Easy to grab something by mistake.
01:22No.
01:24Right.
01:25Well then, sure to turn up.
01:33If he's got your photos, what did we bury you?
01:43That's you and me, apparently.
01:44Oh, it's so sweet.
01:46I think Milo's going to be an artist.
01:49Hayley.
01:50Can you talk now?
01:54How did you get on with the DPP yesterday?
01:57I tried, but they wouldn't talk about the evidence.
02:01I'm glad you're taking it so well.
02:03Well, it's like you said.
02:04They know what they're doing.
02:07Exactly.
02:09I'll see you.
02:14We had a deal.
02:15The McCoy shares in exchange for the recording of you trying to bribe me.
02:19So why have you gone cold?
02:21Were you just listening?
02:23I've been busy with the DPP.
02:25That's done now.
02:26So let's get this moving.
02:28Relax.
02:29We're on it.
02:33Mess me around.
02:34And I will go straight to the guards.
02:43We have proof that she helped Spike Lorcan.
02:46What's the plan?
02:47Oh, I know how to get to her.
02:50Please, James, will you let me do this?
02:53For Da.
02:56Good luck.
03:28Hey.
03:30Thanks for the lend.
03:31You're welcome.
03:33Oh.
03:34Taking on the talent.
03:36Yeah.
03:37We thought we'd try out that rent-a-room scheme.
03:39Make a few quid now that goes on the party now.
03:42Plus, I'd enjoy the company.
03:44I'll spread the word.
03:45Cheers.
03:47Bye.
03:56Hi.
03:58Mondo.
03:59I hope you're not too stressed with everything that's going on.
04:03Sorry?
04:04The trial is less than three weeks away.
04:08You're at it too.
04:09At what?
04:10I'm going to get a T-shirt made.
04:12Impartial witness cannot be swayed.
04:14You think I'm trying to sway you?
04:16No.
04:17Have a nice day.
04:20Thanks.
04:23Hi.
04:24Hiya.
04:24Coffee and a scone?
04:26No.
04:26I'll sort myself out.
04:28That is hard.
04:29Be silly.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Don't be silly.
04:32See you later.
04:35Oh.
04:36You being followed by the FBI?
04:37I'm not supposed to be meeting you.
04:39Why not?
04:40Gwen.
04:41She wore me off.
04:42That is a shame.
04:43I like you.
04:45And now that I know you're Gwen's house, mate,
04:47I felt like I had a little window into her work.
04:51Well, that's why I'm here.
04:52Maybe there's a way I can get her to open up to you.
04:54Nice idea, but that is not going to work.
04:57Not unless it comes from her.
05:00So much for staying away.
05:03Ah.
05:04He was just minding his own business.
05:06I stopped him for a chap.
05:08How about you stay in your lane,
05:11and I'll stay in mine?
05:13That way we'll both be happy.
05:17What did I tell you?
05:23Just as well as she didn't go for that job in the end.
05:26What job?
05:27In the salon.
05:28She didn't say?
05:30Is she a hairdresser?
05:31A beauty technician.
05:33Worked on the cruises.
05:35Oh.
05:38My appointment was for nine.
05:40Sorry about that, Jacinta.
05:42Our receptionist just called in sick.
05:44Hardly a good advertisement for the place.
05:47First, let's fill out this form.
05:52Forms?
05:53Is that all they taught you in medical school?
05:55I'm also a daft hand with a needle.
05:57Let's hope you're up to date with all your jabs.
06:02Hey.
06:03Heya.
06:05I need to gossip.
06:07Have you figured out how you went so wrong the other night?
06:09I'm working. I'm not discussing this.
06:11You must be losing your touch if they're running for the door the second your back is torrent.
06:15Can you just fill out that form?
06:17I would.
06:18If you give me a pen.
06:20Uh...
06:21Oh, here.
06:24I must have read the signals wrong.
06:26That's all.
06:27I'm not bothered.
06:29Liar.
06:29You weren't her.
06:31It doesn't matter.
06:33Because I'll probably never see her again.
06:35Now, can you go?
06:37Come on.
06:41Hi.
06:42The receptionist was due to meet me to show me around.
06:46She called in sick.
06:48Sorry, you're...
06:50Tara.
06:51The new practice nurse.
07:05Tommy and Sash will meet us in McCoy's to talk about the shares.
07:09Today.
07:10You wanted to move things along.
07:12Yeah, but I've backed back meetings.
07:14You just blackmailed yourself a slice of McCoy's.
07:18The least you can do is turn up.
07:20Fine.
07:21Might as well take the rest of the day off to celebrate.
07:23Oh, what are we celebrating?
07:27Holly's had a little windfall.
07:29That's exciting.
07:31Well, I can't say anything yet.
07:34But... let me take you out to lunch.
07:36There's no need.
07:37That is a great idea.
07:40You've been so good to her and Milo.
07:41Helping out.
07:43Putting a roof over their heads.
07:45Emma knows how grateful I am.
07:47You're family.
07:48That's what you do.
07:50So, myself and Holly just have some business to sort out in McCoy's,
07:53but she'd be free at one if you want to drop by then.
07:56I'll look forward to it.
07:57Bye.
08:02I think Doug was lying to me.
08:05You mean he has our boudoir shots?
08:07My stepson?
08:08Well, he didn't give me any indication that he'd looked at them.
08:11What should he have done?
08:12Wait?
08:13We need to keep our cool here.
08:16Our intimate photos are floating around out there somewhere lost.
08:20We're way past keeping our cool.
08:25Doug, I'm in a bit of a rust-out.
08:27Hummy's fine.
08:27Just a second.
08:30Are you sure you didn't see that envelope?
08:33Yes.
08:34What was in it anyway?
08:36The brochure.
08:37Oh, that's no big deal then.
08:38Well, I promised a client that I'd have it for her.
08:40It would really help Pete if it turned up.
08:42Like I said, I haven't seen it.
08:44Doug, how's my van coming along?
08:46Oh, you can pick her up at six, yeah?
08:47Come here, any thoughts on the Citroen after your test drive?
08:50Nah, my own run is probably fine once it's patched up.
08:53Sorry, Tommy.
08:54We're in the middle of something here.
08:55If you don't mind.
08:56Oh, sorry.
08:58I'll see you later.
08:59See ya.
09:02Now, are you absolutely sure you didn't see that envelope?
09:06Positive.
09:07No, I really have to go.
09:09We'll talk about this again.
09:11Tommy was in the office too that day.
09:14And Ray was in and out.
09:16Anyone could have popped in there and taken him.
09:18No, it's Doug.
09:20I can smell it often.
09:24There you go.
09:25Thanks.
09:31Is it too much to expect my friends to have my back?
09:35Lily is staying here.
09:36Georgie can hardly avoid her.
09:38Neither can you.
09:39I'm aware.
09:41So is it not easier to be civil than all this aggro?
09:49Top marks for being subtle.
09:51I know.
09:52But I reckon Lily is totally open to get to know Gwen, so we just need to make that happen.
09:57We can't cross sides again.
09:59Gwen needs us in our corner.
10:00I agree.
10:01Which is why I have a new plan that takes us back to the equation.
10:05What plan?
10:06Just trust me.
10:08You picked things up wrong earlier on.
10:10Really?
10:11When Lily and I were talking, it was business.
10:15What business?
10:16Great news.
10:18You have a trial in the salon.
10:20Excuse me?
10:22I was bigging you up to Dolores and Sharon so we can come in tomorrow and see how it goes.
10:26You went for a job in the salon?
10:27Working with my housemate?
10:29No.
10:30Literally, around the corner from here.
10:31I didn't.
10:33You told Hughie you were thinking about it.
10:36Yes, I was.
10:37And you went along with this.
10:39Thanks for nothing.
10:47Where are Tommy and Sash?
10:48They must have gotten delayed.
10:51What was all that about earlier with Emma?
10:53She's going to find out at some stage we're transferring our stake in McCoy's to you.
10:57I thought I'd get ahead.
10:59I'll explain it to her.
11:00You don't need your help.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Yeah, you're right.
11:04You two are so close.
11:06Of course, she dotes on little Milo.
11:09Have you ever thought what you'd do without her?
11:11What's that supposed to mean?
11:12I don't know. Say she was to turn against you or something.
11:16Be a disaster.
11:20Throw your poison darts if it makes you feel better.
11:23You're still lost.
11:25Hi, Emma.
11:26Hi.
11:27Oh, Holly.
11:28I wish I could stay but I have lunch with a client now in ten.
11:30It's okay.
11:32Is everything alright?
11:34Yeah, Holly's just a bit upset.
11:37What?
11:37I don't know why.
11:39I think Max bringing it up about Lorcan and the spiking just brought it all back for it.
11:45No, it hasn't.
11:46There's no need to be embarrassed.
11:48Oh, absolutely not. It was dreadful.
11:51I'm not upset.
11:52So why do you keep saying that?
11:54I spoke to Victor.
11:56You told me exactly how close to it all you really were.
12:15Sit. Come on. Sit down.
12:17Sit down.
12:19You look like you've had a shock.
12:21Hayley's right.
12:23It's really shaking you seeing Lorcan in that state.
12:26Whoever did that to him was scum.
12:29Absolutely. The lowest of the low.
12:31They could have killed Pearl Lorcan.
12:33Shocking.
12:34They should be locked up.
12:36You really don't look great.
12:39Hayley, maybe you could get her a glass of water.
12:41Holly, I'm sorry. My client has got us a table at the Ballantyne.
12:44Are you sure you're okay?
12:46Yeah, fine.
12:47Okay.
12:52I'll deny it.
12:54I'll tell Emma Victor is lying.
12:55She'll believe me.
13:00From Greg.
13:03You gave him the contact details for that dealer.
13:05Jail.
13:07You are cooked.
13:11I'll show Emma this and she will have you out on the street along with the rubbish.
13:15And what about Milo?
13:16You ruined me with Emma and that affects him.
13:19That's your problem.
13:24What do you want?
13:26First, delete the recording of me and James.
13:35And from the trash.
13:41I'll let you know the rest.
13:47I always knew she was a cold-hearted cow.
13:49But Milo is your son.
13:50Risking his stability is low, even for you.
13:57What did you do?
14:00I got her to delete the recording of us bribing her.
14:03Because you brought Milo into it?
14:05I gave her a choice.
14:07Either do what we say or I tell Emma everything.
14:10He's seven years old.
14:11Holly saw sense.
14:12He's fine.
14:14You can't play God like that.
14:16If we wait for Gwen, she'll never make the first move.
14:18So you just make things worse?
14:20She'll calm down.
14:22Then we just let it play out.
14:24If Lily even takes the job.
14:26You wait.
14:27They'll be hugging it out in no time.
14:32Gwen.
14:33Seriously.
14:34Do not talk to me.
14:36Lily was telling the truth about going for the job.
14:38I made all that happen.
14:39What does it matter with you?
14:40She's your ma.
14:41Whether you like it or not.
14:43She's just some stranger that abandoned me,
14:45but don't let that ruin your fuzzy glue.
14:47You did stuff to her too.
14:49Loads of it.
14:50Would you not just draw a line?
14:51Home five minutes and you think you know what's best for me?
14:54I didn't mean it like that.
14:56And what have you got to say?
14:58It's done now.
15:00You might as well just go along with it.
15:01You were on my side before he came back.
15:03Look, I still am.
15:04But we're just trying to look out for you.
15:06Then stop trying to push me into some fairytale ending with Lily.
15:09Nobody said that.
15:10I mean it. Back off.
15:16See you next week.
15:19How are you?
15:20Hey.
15:21I'm going to get some training for that iron gaunt.
15:23Oh yeah.
15:24Do you want to spot each other? Bench?
15:25Sure.
15:26Yeah, I'll have an hour to my next client.
15:28Okay, cool.
15:29It's good to see you getting after it.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Well what you said this morning, you know, about getting on with our lives.
15:38You all right?
15:40I've done enough moping over there.
15:41It's time for a fresh start.
15:43Yeah, lads.
15:44Going for a session?
15:45No, I can't.
15:46I'm running to get a part before they close.
15:47Everything okay?
15:48Yeah.
15:49Me dad brought up that envelope again.
15:50Did you find out what was in it?
15:51A car brochure.
15:53That's all?
15:53Yeah, but he was acting a bit weird.
15:55Like he really, really wanted it back.
15:57Sure, you can get his hands in another one of them.
15:59Exactly.
16:00Listen.
16:00Dan, there's a few benches for you downstairs.
16:02Go grab one.
16:02Yeah.
16:02All right, I'll see you then there.
16:05Now, do you know he's in a really good place right now?
16:07He even told me he's ready for the fresh start.
16:09Oh yeah, that's great.
16:10So stop bringing up your dad's envelope.
16:13At least we know there's nothing important in it.
16:24Did you find everything you needed today?
16:27I figured it out, yeah.
16:29Good.
16:30Great.
16:32About the other night, I hope things aren't going to be awkward.
16:35I have nothing to be awkward about.
16:37You're suggesting I have?
16:39You could have said goodbye.
16:41You don't have to sneak out.
16:43Says the guy who joked at the bar staff about getting lucky.
16:47I heard you.
16:48So you decided to teach me a lesson?
16:50I don't like guys who make presumptions.
16:52You've made yourself clear.
16:54The important thing is to not let it affect our professional relationship.
16:57All right.
16:59Blanked it from my mind already.
17:01Same.
17:07What now?
17:09I'm having a rough day.
17:11I came in for some second-hand embarrassment.
17:13You're out of luck.
17:14You're telling me that it hasn't been awkward as hell in here?
17:16No.
17:17Because we just spoke.
17:19Ironed the whole thing out like mature adults.
17:22You're no fun.
17:23What's going on with you?
17:25My housemates are ganging up on me.
17:27You want to talk about it?
17:28No.
17:28I just want to wait here until Tara comes back and watch you curl up in shame.
17:33Tough.
17:34Go.
17:36Now.
17:37Okay.
17:38Okay.
17:40How are you?
17:41Hiya.
17:42Jacinta.
17:43Was there some ailment we didn't cover earlier?
17:46Well, you said to talk to Tara about arranging a blood test, but she was busy.
17:50Oh.
17:51Is she there now?
17:53I can arrange it.
17:55Say, tomorrow?
17:56Half twelve?
17:57Aye.
17:58I'll see you then.
18:03Where could it have gone?
18:05Well, if we knew that.
18:08Well.
18:10Tommy.
18:17We were looking for something.
18:19I can see that.
18:22I have the keys here around there.
18:23Oh, great. Thanks.
18:26Listen, I hope I didn't waste your time over the Citroen.
18:28Oh, not done, not done.
18:30It's just, yeah, seemed a little put out earlier.
18:33Ah.
18:34You're just busy today, that's all.
18:36Right, Tommy.
18:36You're all good to go, yeah?
18:37I'll grab the work sheet for you now.
18:39Great. Thanks.
18:40Cheers.
18:41Doug?
18:45That envelope.
18:46It seems to have disappeared into thin air.
18:49Why are you getting so wound up?
18:51It's not as if there was out and measure in it.
18:53Easy to say.
18:54Pete needs that invoice to give to a client.
18:57I thought it was a car brochure.
19:00Yes.
19:01Yes, it is.
19:02Car brochure.
19:03But I have another envelope with an invoice in it,
19:05which is what Dolores was thinking of, yes?
19:07Yeah.
19:08Yeah.
19:09So, was it a brochure or an invoice?
19:12It was a brochure.
19:13In an envelope in that drawer, and I need it back.
19:19So, is there anything you want to tell me?
19:23No.
19:25Think now, Doug.
19:26Oh, yeah.
19:27Think harder.
19:28I don't have the envelope, Dad.
19:30Yeah.
19:30Can you stop going on about it and let me close up here?
19:49Victor, you told Hayley that I was mixed up in that spiking.
19:53You were.
19:55Greg wanted Cat.
19:56I helped him.
19:57I didn't know he was going to slip it into Lorcan's drink.
20:00He wanted to get back at Ian.
20:01And you knew that.
20:04It was still his decision.
20:06You have to tell Hayley.
20:07Wrote his back.
20:08Greg lost the life that he had here because of what he did.
20:12Whatever's coming to you, you deserve every bit.
20:20Hey.
20:20Holly.
20:22Look, I've been thinking, and you're right.
20:25You're scared of losing your job, and I haven't exactly had your back.
20:29Oh.
20:30Yeah.
20:31The solicitor should have a draft of the deal with Comet and Hayley.
20:35So, maybe I could put in a clause that you get severance pay
20:38in case she decides to get rid of you.
20:41Sure.
20:42Okay.
20:43Bye.
20:55I wasn't trying to sway you the other day.
20:58Then why bring up the trial?
21:00Because it would have been weird if I hadn't.
21:02I keep having to tell you to leave me alone.
21:04Why can't you get the message?
21:13Georgie.
21:20What you did was not home.
21:22I know.
21:24I do know that you're only trying to help, but this is my life you're messing with here.
21:30And Gwen's.
21:31We've been through enough already.
21:33Exactly.
21:34This could be a fresh start for you both.
21:40I don't know.
21:42At least try it out for a day.
21:48One day.
21:58Right.
21:59I am going to do a trial in the salon for one day.
22:05Doesn't mean I'm going to take the job.
22:07Is that okay?
22:10Do what you want.
22:11Makes no odds to me.
22:23Look, I went after Holly today.
22:25Not Milo.
22:28Yeah, but he's collateral damage though, isn't he?
22:30You're his da.
22:32Did Holly give a damn about that when she was threatening to have us both arrested for bribery?
22:36I don't want Milo mixed up in any of this.
22:38It's a bluff.
22:40That's all.
22:41Alright, I'll say whatever I have to, to get this done.
22:48Go up and say goodnight to Milo.
22:50That is, if you give a damn.
22:54You're in no position to judge.
22:56First, we need to talk.
22:58I deleted the recording, so we're done.
23:00Not until you testify against Mondo in the trial.
23:03Well, I won't.
23:04I can't.
23:05Okay.
23:07Then Emma sees Greg's texts.
23:10And you can pack your bags.
23:11Are you seriously okay with her threatening to put the mother of your son out on the street?
23:15Milo will always be safe here.
23:17Not with her around.
23:19You're sick.
23:22Both of you.
23:26Hey.
23:31This is going to be okay.
23:33I hope so.
23:35We have her exactly where we want her.
23:44Forget about Victor.
23:45It's hard to.
23:47You can say something at trial that gets me put away.
23:50What am I missing?
23:52I told her to stay.
23:54Excuse me?
23:55I thought you wanted her to.
23:56What I'm telling you, bro, something is up.
23:58They can't even get their story straight about what it is that they lost.
24:00What are you saying?
24:01Well, maybe we should get her back for them.
24:02I never agreed to your crazy plan.
24:04Well, you need to agree to it.
24:06Now.
24:07Do you know what?
24:08Tell Emma.
24:09I survived without the rapies before and I'll do it again.
24:11Good morning.
24:12Thanks.
24:14The story of Douglas Smith is Yamilk at MaBeux.
24:15Have I ever seen this long past?
24:16With your spirit on earth.
24:20Have you ever seen that journalist?
