00:00MUSIC
00:26Maybe you should be serving folk?
00:28I can't be doing with the public today.
00:30Eddie, what can I get you?
00:31Er, lawn roll and a black coffee to go, please, mate.
00:34Has Maggie sent you for a breakfast?
00:36She must be shattered after yesterday.
00:39She was a day off yesterday.
00:40You know, when we rocked her to A&E, she wasn't.
00:42A&E?
00:43Aye, she was working.
00:44What, cleaning?
00:46No, as a nurse.
00:47Did she not tell you?
00:50Yeah, that must have just slipped her mind.
00:52Aye, well, she didn't quite seem like herself.
00:54How?
00:55Well, she was a bit tense.
00:56I told you, she was just concentrating on doing my stitches.
00:59Sorry, mate.
01:00Can you cancel that order?
01:01I better get off.
01:08Oh, Mickey.
01:09I didn't realise you were up.
01:11Can you sleep a wink?
01:12Oh, come on.
01:14You've got to stop worrying over nothing.
01:16But it's not nothing, is it?
01:18The police clearly think I've got something to do with Jonathan's death.
01:21Not necessarily.
01:22But you see it on the TV and the documentaries.
01:24They close in, try and trip me up until they can find something, anything that will make it...
01:28Mikey!
01:29Mikey!
01:29Just stop.
01:30Sorry.
01:31I mean, you're just getting carried away.
01:35Where are you going, Julie?
01:37Oh, James.
01:38Didn't realise you were awake.
01:40Oh, you were up and away before I had the chance to say good morning.
01:44I'll try and get a couple of hours kept just now.
01:47Leave used to it.
01:49I am going away to meet my pals from uni for coffee.
01:53You never mentioned that last night.
01:55Well, we can never usually find a Saturday where we're all free, but today we are.
02:00You know, you're always running about daft these days.
02:03I thought a day spent putting your feet up would do you good.
02:06Well, you know what they say.
02:07Friendship is like chicken soup for the soul.
02:10So I'm sure it will do me good to go and see them.
02:15I'll phone you later, yeah?
02:29Safe to approach?
02:33I'm sorry I didn't get back to any of your messages.
02:37Just needed a wee bit space.
02:41We talking then?
02:43Copper.
02:45That's a good sign.
02:50So what did you get up to yesterday?
02:52I know you're avoiding me like, but...
02:55I just went into town. Why?
02:59You got an exact double working down the hospital then.
03:03Any particular reason you didn't tell me you started working at A&E?
03:08Ticket you've been to the Easter this morning then, eh?
03:13Come on then. Let's have that cup of tea.
03:18You can tell me what the hell's going on.
03:23Oh, that was lovely, darling.
03:26That wasn't even my star dish.
03:27Just you wait till you try my breakfast pizza, eh?
03:31Right, well...
03:33That suitcase won't pack itself.
03:35It'll be amazing.
03:36I can't believe I'm actually getting a chance to go to Nashville.
03:40It's the stuff of dreams.
03:41There's so many good country stars out there just now.
03:43Luke Combs.
03:44I love that guy's voice.
03:46He's brilliant.
03:47What about Johnny Miller and his country casuals?
03:49I went to see them last year.
03:50Bubba got me tickets.
03:51No way.
03:51Aye.
03:52And the Shires.
03:53They're my all-time favourites.
03:55They're super...
03:56Actually, I think they're playing Nashville when I'm over there.
03:58You're joking.
04:00I'm going to try and get tickets.
04:02It's so fantastic that you're getting to go there.
04:05All the best, darling.
04:08All the best?
04:09Scarlet.
04:11What's wrong?
04:13Oh, nothing.
04:14Look, if we're going to do this,
04:16we're going to do it properly.
04:17No secrets.
04:19All right, no secrets.
04:21I'm a bit gutted that we've just...
04:23tell one another about our feelings and you're going away.
04:26Aye.
04:29I'm too...
04:30I wish it was next month or next year.
04:36Unless...
04:38Unless you come with me.
04:41What?
04:42Aye.
04:43Come with me.
04:45To Nashville?
04:46Aye. Why not?
04:48My romantic breakaway will do us the world a good.
04:50Oh, but I cannae. The shop.
04:52We'll get cover.
04:53Kelmary and Bubba need me for the wains.
04:55I'm sure they can think of something else just for a bit.
04:57Aye, but me?
04:58Gone to the US of A?
05:00Yeah. It's perfect.
05:02I've got it all planned.
05:03All we need to do is book you a flight.
05:04Oh, I don't even have my passport, Cindy.
05:07Then go check.
05:10Oh, Sam.
05:11It's a lovely idea, but...
05:14I cannae just take half like that.
05:17Could be really great, you know.
05:21I know it's late, no S, and...
05:23Look, if it's too much, too quickly, then no pressure, I get it.
05:27No, it's not that.
05:28Look, Scarlet.
05:30You're always doing stuff for other people.
05:33You deserve to do something for yourself.
05:36If you want to come with me,
05:37you come with me.
05:40It's got to be your decision.
05:42Okay?
05:51This was your idea, was it?
05:53Eddie.
05:53I don't even know what I'm doing here.
05:55Well, when Maggie dropped the bombshell that you two thought it'd be a good idea to steal Viv's hospital records,
06:00I just wondered what you were planning on doing with them.
06:02We know that Viv doesn't have cancer, and she's about to marry someone this afternoon who thinks she does.
06:08That's not an answer to me question.
06:10Do you even realise you could get yourselves killed?
06:12What, for taking a copy of her records?
06:14But we're not going to do anything with them ourselves.
06:17It's for Alex.
06:18Have you sent them to him?
06:20Not yet.
06:21But he knows I've got the proof on me.
06:23You absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, send that to him.
06:26Why not?
06:28Alex would never say how he got them.
06:30Yeah, maybe he'd never throw you under the bus, but what about Maggie, eh?
06:33She's the one who stole the records.
06:35He wouldn't do that.
06:37I don't even need to tell him that I got it from Maggie.
06:39And no one else knows that I took them.
06:41Dean and Jodie saw you there, so you didn't exactly cover your tracks, did you?
06:45You've got absolutely no idea what you've got yourselves involved in.
06:49Alex takes this to Harry, Viv's as good as dead.
06:52Viv wants Alex out the picture. If I don't get this to him, he's as good as dead.
06:56There's gotta be another way.
06:59You showed them records to Harry, could be game over for everyone.
07:03Well, what do you suggest that we do then?
07:05Because that woman has convinced everyone around here that she's dying, and that's not right, Eddie.
07:09No, and I agree. But signing her death warrant isn't the answer.
07:18This had nothing to do with either of you. You should have stayed out of it.
07:20Well, but it's alright for you to be involved, though, eh?
07:22Oh, okay. What? That's what this is about. Is it payback for me keeping you in the dark?
07:26Oh, don't be ridiculous. She just needs to come clean.
07:30Look, what she's done isn't right, but if you just sit tight...
07:33It's not happening.
07:33I'll get rid of her.
07:36I'll tell her someone's onto her. They've got proof. She'll have no choice. She'll have to go.
07:40Hold on.
07:41This is just you trying to look after number one.
07:45Leave it with me so no one finds out I've been in cahoots with her.
07:48I wasn't, did you?
07:50Look.
07:53I'm just trying to make sure no one ends up getting hurt.
07:56No way.
07:57The safest option, for everyone, is if Viv goes without any hassle.
08:02But I've told Alex...
08:04Karen, will you just give me a chance? I know I can get her to leave.
08:07Do either of you really want to be responsible for what Harry does to her?
08:15Fine.
08:17But it has to be today.
08:34No wonder you don't want to show your face.
08:36What, me?
08:38What about what she's done?
08:40Why? In case anyone here's what you're capable of?
08:43You and your sister, you're something else.
08:46Exploiting good folk your own gains.
08:48Good folk? Is that really what you're calling yourselves?
08:51No situation couldn't be helped.
08:53We certainly didn't choose for it to happen.
08:55What you did was low.
08:57We saw an opportunity and we took it.
08:59Right, the world never gave any to me and Nicole for free.
09:00That's right, only interested in looking if down number one.
09:04Well, I'm sure you're both delighted to hear that we didn't say a penny.
09:07What are you on about?
09:08Oh, come on, don't act like you don't know what Mulvaney did.
09:11He gave you the money.
09:13Aye, sure he did. That's why I'm still kicking about here.
09:15Are you really trying to say you'll never go to?
09:19You found some dirt in Nicole and shut us down.
09:23There you go.
09:24Something for you good folk to celebrate.
09:26See you later, Tommy.
09:39This better be quick.
09:41Game's up for if you've got to get out of Glasgow.
09:43What?
09:43I mean, if you've got to go.
09:45Eddie, I don't have time for this.
09:47Someone's answer you.
09:48So?
09:49In a few hours, I'll be Harry's wife.
09:51You set foot near that wedding.
09:52I guarantee Harry'll be waiting there with a gun and not a ring.
09:55So, who is it?
09:57Who knows?
09:58Doesn't matter.
09:59Like hell, it doesn't.
10:00They've got proof.
10:01And I've seen it.
10:02What kind of proof?
10:04If you value your life, you need to get on a plane and get as far away from here as
10:09you possibly can.
10:10Are you mad?
10:11I have been busting a gut for months to get us to this place.
10:14And believe me, it hasn't been easy.
10:16Eddie, we're just hours away from pulling this off.
10:19You haven't got a choice, Viv.
10:20Then get me the evidence.
10:21It's too risky.
10:22I want to know who it is.
10:24That's not going to solve anything.
10:26We can't throw in the towel.
10:27Will you stop saying we?
10:28Oh.
10:30So you want to pretend like you've not been a part of it?
10:32Hey, I know what part I've played.
10:35And I'm trying to do the decent thing by giving you an out.
10:38Oh.
10:40See, I don't want it.
10:41I'm not walking away from this.
10:44No way!
10:52Hi, Maggie.
10:55Maggie.
10:56Oh.
10:57Sorry.
10:59Everything okay?
11:00Aye.
11:01Miles away there.
11:02So it seems a lot in your mind.
11:06Aye, something like that.
11:08But I know I'm not the only one.
11:11How did your appointment with Gillian go?
11:13Ah.
11:15Yeah, she was great.
11:16I mean, I couldn't go through with the examination.
11:20Stirred up too many memories.
11:22That's understandable.
11:23Gillian is referring me straight to a gynecologist.
11:26Well, that's good.
11:27Means that you'll not have long to wait.
11:30Shh, Lenny's coming.
11:31You still haven't told her?
11:33No, and I don't intend to until I know what I'm dealing with.
11:37You don't answer your phone.
11:38Oh.
11:39Oh, sorry.
11:40It's on Sant when I was at the hairdresser.
11:42The only reason I was going to do your nails.
11:44Well, she's not worried.
11:45Oh, she's nipping my head.
11:46She's not going to even get me duds.
11:47All right.
11:48See you tomorrow.
11:48I'll see you later, Maggie.
11:50Bye.
11:57How do you know they haven't shown Harry this evidence already?
12:00You're just going to have to trust me on that.
12:02They might be doing it right now.
12:03How do you calm down?
12:04I made a deal with them.
12:06What kind of deal?
12:06They'll keep the proof to themselves if I get you to leave.
12:10You're welcome.
12:12What, for going behind my back?
12:13I'm saving your skin here.
12:14Just hold them off.
12:16I can't.
12:18Can you imagine how Harry will react if I don't turn up at the altar?
12:22I'll surely get over it.
12:23We both know he'll be absolutely humiliated.
12:26He'll hunt me down.
12:28Well, then go somewhere where they never find you.
12:31You managed it for 30 years. I'm sure you can do it again.
12:36I didn't come here to give you the choice, Viv.
12:38Just tell me who it is.
12:39Then I can negotiate with them.
12:41Pay them off.
12:42They'll go straight to Harry unless you leave.
12:44They won't accept any other terms.
12:46But you're...
12:46You need to go now, Viv!
12:53All right.
12:55But I need you to do something for me.
12:57Yeah, look, it's all right. I'll talk to Tyler.
12:59No, it's nothing to do with him.
13:00I need you to make sure that they destroy that evidence.
13:04I hope he will.
13:07Think I want any comeback off this?
13:09Give me your word.
13:11You've got it.
13:18You had a good run.
13:25Look, I say see you around, but for all our sakes, I hope I don't.
13:39Scarlett!
13:40Lydia, I am sorry.
13:42I know you're busy getting ready, but I really need your help.
13:44What's wrong?
13:45It's Sam.
13:46You might want to wait in.
13:47He feels the same way, Addy.
13:49Well, that's great.
13:50I know.
13:50And it's early days.
13:51Well, actually only a literal day, but it feels totally right.
13:55Scarlett, I...
13:55Like we should have always been together all this time.
13:58Especially after he came into my life and Stevie tracked him down.
14:01Right, but I...
14:01And you're not going to believe this.
14:02But he's taking a trip to Nashville.
14:04What? As in Tennessee?
14:05Aye.
14:06And he wants me to go with him.
14:07Oh, wow.
14:08I know.
14:09And I want to say yes, because they say that you should go with your gut,
14:12but...
14:12I think it might be too soon.
14:14Too right, isn't it?
14:14It is.
14:17That's what I was trying to say.
14:19Killing me the easier doing my nails.
14:26Well, did you sort it?
14:28It was packing her bags as we speak.
14:31If I find out, you're at it.
14:32Right, I promise you.
14:34It's done.
14:35She wasn't easy to persuade like, but she agreed in the end.
14:39Good.
14:40No, I just need the proof so I can get rid of them as saucy.
14:44Sorry, what?
14:45I told Viv I'd destroy her as she left.
14:46She agreed, so now I need to keep up my end of the deal.
14:49I'm not handing it over to you.
14:51Karen, I'm not trying to pull a fast one.
14:53It stays with me until I know for sure that she's gone.
14:58Yeah, well, okay.
14:58Well, I'll keep hold of it until we get the news from Harry that she's bailed.
15:01No way!
15:03I'll give it to Alex.
15:04He can look after it until then.
15:06What, are you still going to give it to him?
15:07What would it matter?
15:08She'll be gone anyway.
15:11His flight should be in, so he'll be back any minute.
15:14Look, if you give it to Alex, he's going to know I was involved.
15:17I just need to know it's been destroyed.
15:19So it's not for Viv.
15:21It's for you.
15:22It's for both of us.
15:24Don't worry.
15:26I'll make it clear that he should keep you out of it.
15:28When you really think for a second that he will.
15:30That looks like you'll just have to trust me now.
15:47It was only yesterday that Sam split up with Caitlin.
15:50He says going back to her was a big mistake.
15:53And what?
15:53Now you're the lovey's life.
15:55We've got feelings for one another.
15:57Listen, Wild Rose, you cannae be rushing off to Nashville with him.
16:00It's only for a holiday.
16:02We're not moving there.
16:03We'll go to Loch Lomond for the weekend then like everybody else.
16:05But Sam's already booked his ticket.
16:07Well, maybe if you're really the one for him, he won't go.
16:10You're just being ridiculous.
16:11You two want to take your domestic elsewhere.
16:13I've only done one Elidia's hands.
16:15We should go and put the other one in her pocket.
16:16Lenny, come through here.
16:21Mum, listen.
16:22You always jump into relationships with both feet.
16:24That's not true.
16:25Dougie, Andrew, Seb.
16:27I've been unlucky in love.
16:29There's a difference.
16:30And they were all nice at the beginning.
16:31Who's to say he's not going to be exactly the same?
16:33Sam is different.
16:35You didn't see how lovely he was with your Stevie.
16:37It doesn't mean he cannae break your heart.
16:39Look, the two of yous have just come out of hurtful relationships.
16:43We should say he's aren't just settling for something safe.
16:45It's not like that.
16:46Matt, I hate to be the voice of reason,
16:48but somebody's got to be and I really don't want to see you get hurt.
16:52I suppose it has all happened quite quick.
16:55Aye, exactly.
16:57So maybe just unpack your denim skirt and calm down a wee bit, eh?
17:03Maybe you're right.
17:13Sorry we're late.
17:14I was beginning to think you'd all forgotten.
17:16I'm guessing Mick's been held up too.
17:19What?
17:21We've been trying to get a hood of him since yesterday.
17:23He's no answering his phone.
17:24He's not been answering my texts either.
17:26Do you think something's happened to him?
17:27We've just bumped into Connor.
17:30Mick never gave them the money.
17:33He never showed up?
17:34Oh, no, he showed up, all right.
17:35He did something with Nicole.
17:37So he blackmailed him.
17:38And he dropped their demand for the cash.
17:42So where's the money?
17:45Aye, come on in.
17:48Did Jamie leave a call here?
17:50Oh, aye, so she did.
17:53There you go.
17:54I meant to say to Kelly earlier, but I went clean up my head.
17:57No wonder.
17:57I saw Sam at the oyster.
17:59He was telling me you two are a couple.
18:01Aye, well, we'll see how it goes.
18:02He said you might be going to Nashville?
18:04No, Sam is.
18:05I'm going to get a miss.
18:06But he said you may be going with him.
18:08Aye, but it's no practical.
18:10Forget that.
18:11Sounds like it'll be fantastic.
18:12Aye, I'm sure it will be, but I cannae be gallivanting about like some love-struck teenager.
18:17Is this who?
18:19Kelly Marie, by any gents.
18:21She's right.
18:23Look, you know what?
18:24I love Kel to bits.
18:25But she's too cynical when it comes to matters of the heart.
18:28True.
18:28Her first boyfriend has to root for a year before she's a dying.
18:32Sometimes you need to take a chance, Scarlet.
18:34You need to believe things might work out.
18:37I've not got a very good track record, have I?
18:42What if I get it wrong again?
18:43Well, then at least you gave it a go.
18:45If you always play it safe, you might be turning your back on something really special.
18:49You know in your heart what you want.
18:52Don't let anybody tell you different.
18:55Thanks, Chris.
19:03Connor has got to be lying.
19:04Is he pointed to it himself?
19:06What would he still be doing here if we'd got the money?
19:08He has done something to Mick.
19:09The way Connor would tell us about Mick having dirt on the coal if that was the case.
19:14Well, something's happened to him.
19:15I think we can exactly what's happened to him.
19:18He's done a run out.
19:20No, he wouldn't do that to Mikey.
19:21He's let yous think all this time that you were responsible for Jonathan's death when it was him.
19:26We don't know that for sure.
19:28Gillian, Tommy and me have spoken us through. It's the only explanation.
19:32Look, we all know Mick was left alone with him. Who else could it have been?
19:36He knew that he pleased her sniffing about it.
19:38He sought his opportunity with the money in his boltage.
19:41He is not that kind of person.
19:43And you're looking for any excuse just so you can unburden yourself.
19:46Are you for real?
19:47How could have you not noticed that Jonathan was still alive for a doctor for goodness sake?
19:51So this is all my fault now, is it?
19:52Well, we wouldn't be in this position if you had.
19:54Oh, like there wouldn't have been consequences for stabbing him and hitting him over the head.
19:57Right enough.
19:58We cannae have 44 apart here.
20:00We need answers for Mick.
20:02So if he's no picking up his phone, the only thing we can do is go round to his flat.
20:07Are we agreed?
20:11Let's go then.
20:18None of yous are going anywhere.
20:54Liv.
20:57What are you doing here?
20:58Shouldn't you be getting ready?
21:01I think we both know why I'm not.
21:03What?
21:03You've lost me.
21:05What's that?
21:07It's just something for Alex.
21:08Is it about me?
21:11Because if there's something in that envelope about me, I've got a right to know.
21:16After everything you've done?
21:18You don't have a right to anything.
21:20That's not fair.
21:21Come on, give me a chance to explain.
21:23I don't have time for this.
21:24Karen.
21:26Wait.
21:27You lie to everyone.
21:30You don't understand.
21:32You're making up that you have cancer.
21:33I went through that for real.
21:35My back was against the wall.
21:37I didn't know what else to do.
21:38It's sick.
21:39You've got to believe me.
21:40You're going to get Alex killed.
21:42This is about me and Harry.
21:44Alex doesn't concern me.
21:45It's over Viv.
21:46The game's up.
21:48And you need to face the consequences.
22:26Hey, Sammy boy.
22:28Rule for one more.
22:30Scarlet.
22:31You betcha.
22:34Come on.
22:35I'll give you a hand.
22:36Here we go.
22:37There's my makeup bag.
22:40Look at you.
22:42Let's do this.
22:44Come on.
22:45Come on.
22:45Come on.
22:46Come on.
22:46Oh my God.
22:48I'm so nervous.
22:49But I'm so excited.
22:50I know.
22:51Yeah.
22:52Hi.
22:53What are you doing at?
22:54Kelly.
22:55I get what you're saying.
22:56But I know what I'm doing.
22:58Maybe I don't.
22:59But what I do know is it feels right.
23:02So I have to take a chance on it.
23:05Alan.
23:06Oh, it's my luck.
23:07I'll look after him.
23:09To the airport, my good man.
23:11And don't spare the horses.
23:16Yes.
23:33Did you follow me?
23:35I thought something was going on this last while.
23:40I cannae have imagined it was as bad as what I just heard through that door.
23:44James, I wanted to tell you.
23:46I thought if I watched what you were up to, I would find it.
23:51You have to understand.
23:52It was self-defense.
23:53You covered up a murder.
23:54They didn't kill him.
23:55Do you think that's all that matters here?
23:56We didn't mean for any of it to happen.
23:59I cannae even tell you the amount of ways you've all broken the law here.
24:03Tommy didn't have anything to do with it.
24:04Well, he does now.
24:09And I certainly cannae turn a blind eye.
24:12James.
24:14Please.
24:16Please.
24:19Please help us.
24:22Help me.
24:23Oh, it's gone way beyond any of that, Jillian.
24:27You'll all be charged by Jonathan's murder.
24:36Yeah, everything's absolutely fine.
24:38I'm just running away a bit late.
24:41Typical bride.
24:43Can you let your dad know that I'll be there soon?
24:47You're kidding, aren't you?
24:49Nothing would stop me walking down the aisle.
24:52I'll see you soon.
25:10I'm sorry.
25:12I'm sorry.
25:12I'm sorry.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:14I can't get to the phone right now.
25:15But leave a message and I'll get right back to you.
25:17Karen, it's me.
25:17I'm still waiting for you at the Jill Birds.
25:19Call me back.
25:19You two are annoying me.
25:21I can smell weed after both of you are a mile away.
25:23Out.
25:24Right now.
25:24He killed a man and covered it up.
25:26It was self-defence.
25:27What you've done makes you look guilty.
25:29You've got a method of clean to cover this up.
25:59I can smell weed after both of you are a mile away.
26:01I can smell weed after you.
26:02You've got a new weed after you have to use a waltz.
