00:34I thought you might be hiding out here, carries with Layla.
00:39I'm sorry, did I wake you up?
00:41No, I was already awake.
00:43After everything you told me, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
00:47I wanted to tell you before, but with everything with the baby,
00:51you were so excited, I didn't want to ruin that.
00:53Jacob, I'm your wife.
00:55When you need me, I step up.
00:58I just don't want to play the victim.
01:01People like her, they get off on it.
01:04The power is all they care about.
01:09I don't think I've ever met anyone like her before.
01:12Right, well, I think today, you show her who you are.
01:23OK, and done.
01:28Money's going to be in your account faster than you can say take a vow.
01:31Bell won't even see you coming.
01:33Thank you, it doesn't even cover it.
01:36You're not going to thank me.
01:37This is about the future.
01:39Your future?
01:40Yeah, I just want to hit the ground running, you know, when the baby's here.
01:43I'm sure whatever you want to do, you will make it work.
01:48Is it wrong I'm starting to feel a bit guilty?
01:50Yes.
01:52You've got to start thinking like a Tate.
01:53If you want something, take it.
01:57This isn't anything you haven't already heard.
01:59Obviously.
02:01Is this you getting on board?
02:04Absolutely.
02:05I have plans for us.
02:07Very big plans.
02:09Hmm.
02:14There you go.
02:16Cheers.
02:17You know when you were going through my accounts last night?
02:21Honestly, I was hoping you didn't find anything to save the cell on.
02:24Well, it's good because I didn't.
02:25But you love that place.
02:26No, that's what I'm saying.
02:28I think I fell out of love with that place a while ago.
02:31You can't love somebody that doesn't love you back, eh?
02:33So the clothes signs up for good?
02:35Yeah, for good.
02:36Yeah, I already spoke to Kim about the eternity.
02:38And I'm sorry.
02:40It's not what you need on the day of your hearing.
02:41Hey.
02:42Hi.
02:43No need to ask how you're feeling.
02:45Uncomfortable.
02:46It's not just the two.
02:48Well, look, Ness and I have already given our statements.
02:50Glowing, obviously, in your favour.
02:52How the practice wouldn't function without you.
02:54I don't think I could function without the practice.
02:57You're going to be fine, Barry.
02:59Yeah.
03:00You're a good person.
03:02Maybe.
03:04Sometimes bad things happen to good people.
03:08Where is she?
03:10Who?
03:11Who do you think?
03:12Your new housemate?
03:13Caitlin.
03:14No, she's gone to work.
03:16Sorry.
03:16Is this about what I said to Jacob?
03:18You have no idea what she is.
03:20Okay, I think you may only be hearing one side of the story.
03:22Right, well, I'm hearing the one that matters.
03:24Because when he's telling it to me, he is in bits, crying his heart out because of what your new
03:28friend is doing to him.
03:29Hang on, Sarah.
03:29Just slow down.
03:30She is a bully.
03:31She is a power freak.
03:32Okay, you're always going to have your husband's back.
03:34Yeah, every time.
03:36But we both know sometimes situations like this in the workplace, it's not always black and white.
03:41It's not just in the workplace, though, is it?
03:43It has followed him home.
03:44It is right here.
03:45Well, yeah.
03:45I had a front row seat.
03:47Sorry?
03:49Like I said, at first I thought it was just crossed wires, but then I saw it for myself with
03:52my own eyes.
03:54In the pub yesterday, I walked into the lady's toilet and he was there.
03:58Jacob was?
04:00I don't know all of what had been said, but whatever it was, it must have shaken Caitlin up.
04:05Well, he was probably just defending himself.
04:08Well, from where I was standing, there was only one person on the attack.
04:12Did he not tell you?
04:22Oh, where did you come from?
04:24On guard.
04:24Well, you've got some skills.
04:26You should have brought me own sword.
04:30Joe's been teaching me how to fence.
04:32And when the new baby's old enough, I'll teach him too.
04:36New baby?
04:37Mum and Joe are having a baby.
04:39Do you not know?
04:41Lucas, go upstairs.
04:42Brush your teeth for the dentist.
04:44I've just killed him.
04:46Just go.
04:51I was going to tell you.
04:53You're just waiting for the right time.
05:00Oh, brownies.
05:02See?
05:03This is what happens when I've got my stress cloud over my head.
05:07I used to tell myself that there's no point in worrying about things you can't change.
05:13But maybe they're the things you should worry about because you can't change them.
05:16But it just feels like everything's happening at once.
05:20You know?
05:21Everything that you lot went through.
05:23You know, me losing me salon and Paddy's earring today, you know?
05:27I just still can't believe I'm not allowed to be there.
05:29He doesn't need you to hold his hand, Mandy.
05:33Yeah, but I want to hold it.
05:35Yes, I'm acutely aware that accidents happen, Amy.
05:37But maybe if you'd given me a little notice about when you planned to burn your hand, I might have
05:41made alternative arrangements.
05:43Here, get well soon.
05:44Huh?
05:45That didn't sound good.
05:46Oh, it's my hairdresser.
05:47Oh, you made it sound serious.
05:49It is serious.
05:50I've got a very important meeting this afternoon about the wine business.
05:53Oh, that's nice.
05:54Are you still doing that, then?
05:55Yes, I'm still doing that.
05:57But in order to act the part, I need to look the part.
05:59And right now, I look like I've been dragged through a hedge.
06:01Well, today might be your lucky day.
06:04I'm free and I'm more than happy to help you.
06:06I thought the salon was closed.
06:08It is.
06:09For good.
06:09But, you know, more or less family, aren't we?
06:12Oh, no offence, Mandy, but if you had a Ferrari, you wouldn't take it to a second-hand bike shop
06:16to get it repaired, would you?
06:19How could she not be offended at that?
06:21Beh, it's okay.
06:22No, it's not okay.
06:24I'm sorry.
06:25I'm sure you had some very happy customers.
06:28So, you want me to get my scissors out?
06:30God, no.
06:31But because I'm very high maintenance, but also very sympathetic.
06:35Ah, well, I don't want anyone's sympathy, sweetheart.
06:37Yes, I've lost my salon.
06:39Paddy's got a suspended sentence and might not be allowed back in the vets, but hey-ho!
06:43Doesn't rain, it absolutely pours.
06:53So, how long?
06:56About three months, give or take.
06:59Congratulations.
07:01I'm really sorry, Billy.
07:04What for? Getting pregnant? That happens.
07:06No, I mean, the way you found out, I really wanted to talk to you privately.
07:10Yeah, I mean, honestly, I really, really don't matter.
07:14What matters is the kids that we already have.
07:19What do you mean?
07:20I'm not being funny, but what happens when a shiny new Tate enters the world?
07:24Are you really asking that question?
07:26You all know what spoiled children are like.
07:29They get a new toy and the old one gets forgotten about or binned.
07:32Yeah, that's not going to happen.
07:34You are...
07:35You're not the spoiled child.
07:38You're a great mum.
07:40The kids couldn't ask for a very better one.
07:44Look, nothing's going to change.
07:46All the kids are going to be treated equally.
07:49This is the Tates.
07:51Flesh and blood.
07:53It's always going to come first.
07:57I mean it, Billy.
07:57I'm not going to let that happen.
08:00Just tell Lucas I'll meet him in the car.
08:04I...
08:04I do trust you, Dom.
08:07I'll see you around.
08:14I know I backed out of making a formal complaint recently,
08:17but that is not going to happen again.
08:19That's good to know.
08:20It might encourage the other complainants to officially come forward.
08:23What happened before?
08:25I thought it might stop.
08:26But it's actually got worse, and not just in the hospital.
08:29Jacob.
08:30I'm sorry, no.
08:31I need you to know she's now saying things to my wife.
08:34To people that I've known for years,
08:36and some of them actually believe her.
08:38Which we will get to.
08:40I just need to see if you've checked your work email today.
08:44My email?
08:46I'd already sent you a message
08:47regarding an allegation that's been made against you.
08:50Against me?
08:52From a senior colleague.
08:54And I'm afraid it's rather serious.
08:56From Dr Todd.
09:15Obviously, you bringing this to me now does complicate matters.
09:18Look, I know what it looks like.
09:20What does it look like?
09:21You know, I'm just saying something about her
09:23because she said something about me.
09:25A retaliatory strike, perhaps?
09:26Yeah, whatever.
09:27But it's not, because I swear,
09:29I hadn't even seen your email.
09:32Right.
09:33Seriously.
09:35I mean, you know I was already going to make a complaint about her.
09:37Which you withdrew.
09:39Yeah, but I told you why.
09:40And you must understand that I can't consider anything
09:44unless it's made official.
09:48So what happens now?
09:50Well, it's looking like there will be meetings with the two of you tomorrow, independently.
09:55In the meantime, I'll be working through the information I received.
09:59This information?
10:00Look, you should probably know a substantial file of evidence has been submitted.
10:05What evidence?
10:07A record of inappropriate behaviour with dates and times and their voice recordings too.
10:15So I'm going to be thrown off my placement?
10:17That's not what I said.
10:18No, but we both know that that's what it means.
10:21Like, how can I win against her?
10:24It's not a competition, Jacob.
10:27It is when you keep losing.
10:34Randy.
10:35Oh my God!
10:37Oh, it's like time's done still.
10:40How'd it go, son?
10:41And don't sugarcoat it.
10:43No, no, no, sugar.
10:43I just presented my case and told him how it is.
10:47Being a vet's my life.
10:48It's the only thing I'm good at.
10:50And the stupid conviction?
10:51Conviction was a one-off.
10:52Never to be repeated and, you know,
10:54didn't come from a bad place.
10:56Nothing you said was wrong, Paddy.
10:59I did everything I could.
11:01If they'd have asked him to beg, I would have done.
11:03How pathetic is that?
11:05It's not pathetic.
11:06We'd all do the same because we know how much it matters.
11:09So what happens now?
11:12We wait.
11:15So, me, you and Mandy could all be without a job by the end of today?
11:20When did you not have a job, Dylan?
11:22Well, I just thought, you know, with everything that's happened,
11:25the trial?
11:26Yeah, well, that's over now, isn't it?
11:29Yeah, but...
11:30Yeah, but nothing.
11:32What defines us is what happens in the future,
11:34not what's happened in the past.
11:36That door's shut.
11:38Next one's open, mate.
11:40All right, thanks.
11:49Why is it that at the front of every single traffic queue,
11:52there is an idiot who's just made a mistake?
11:57Hey, you OK?
11:59Yeah, yeah, fine.
12:02Joe, are things going to change?
12:06Er, it's a bit vague.
12:08You talking about traffic?
12:10Sorry, sorry, I'm just, er...
12:13I mean, with the kids.
12:15When we have our own baby,
12:17are you going to treat them differently?
12:20Well, er, I was going to...
12:24I was going to wait a week or two
12:25and then bundle yours off to an orphanage.
12:28Joe!
12:29Well, I'd keep them together.
12:30I'm not a monster.
12:31Not even remotely funny.
12:32Neither's the question.
12:34A bit ridiculous.
12:36Well, you haven't answered it.
12:37I shouldn't have to.
12:39Where's this coming from?
12:41It's coming from me.
12:43I'm just worried that when you hold your own baby in your arms,
12:47you're going to feel differently.
12:49Well, you expect me to hold the baby?
12:53I'm sorry.
12:54Sorry, but this conversation,
12:55I feel like there's nothing I can say
12:56that's going to be what you want to hear.
12:58I want to hear...
13:00I don't know.
13:03I want to hear some sort of guarantee
13:05that you're going to look after all the children equally.
13:08Honestly?
13:11You, Lucas, Clemmie...
13:15whatever the other one's name is.
13:18You're my family.
13:19And I love that family.
13:21And when the new addition arrives,
13:23I will love them equally.
13:25No favourites.
13:27Okay.
13:29Okay.
13:39Hey.
13:43So, how'd it go?
13:45It didn't.
13:47Well, but you had it all worked out.
13:49You're going to stand up to her.
13:52Yeah, it's a lot easier in your head.
13:56Right, well, look, whatever happened...
13:58Nothing happened.
13:59Because she's always one step ahead of me.
14:03How do you mean?
14:06She's got some file that she's already given HR.
14:10A file?
14:10Well, what's in it?
14:12I don't know.
14:13All this evidence against me.
14:15Things I'm supposed to have done.
14:17Yes, but things you haven't done, right?
14:21Jacob, you are telling me everything, aren't you?
14:22Yeah, of course.
14:24But this is what she does.
14:27I just...
14:27I still don't understand why you took back your complaint the first time.
14:31Come on, she saved your gran's life.
14:34How could I go for her after that?
14:35She finds it easy to go for you.
14:37And she makes things up, and because of who she is, people believe her.
14:40Well, I don't.
14:41I believe you.
14:42Do you know what?
14:43I'm going to have it out with myself.
14:44I can't have her do this.
14:45No, you go and do that, and you'll only make things worse.
14:47How can I make things worse?
14:50Please, Sarah.
14:51No, I'm sorry, but...
14:55Look at her.
14:58In years to come, if she was in the same situation,
15:01would you be telling her to stand back and let the bully walk all over her?
15:05No, you wouldn't.
15:06You would tell her to keep her head up, stand tall, and never back down.
15:11Come on, Jacob, this is your career that we're talking about.
15:14The one you have always dreamed of.
15:16You cannot let somebody like that witch take that away from you.
15:21Listen to me.
15:23Now is the time for you to be the man,
15:25and be the dad that your mum would be proud of.
15:34Hey.
15:36Hey.
15:36Where have you been?
15:37I tried calling you.
15:38I just needed to clear my head.
15:40Okay.
15:41Yeah, it gave me some time to think, too, so...
15:43Look, Joe, I...
15:44Let me finish.
15:45Sorry.
15:46Um, I...
15:48I get where your doubts are coming from.
15:52I know who I am.
15:54I know what I've done.
15:56If anyone is capable of making a mistake...
16:01What I said, I didn't mean it.
16:02You wanted a guarantee.
16:05So, I am setting up a trust fund for each of the kids, equally.
16:11And there's going to be enough money in each of them,
16:13so they can all do whatever they want to do with their lives.
16:16Joe, you don't have to do this.
16:17No, I do.
16:18More than that, I want to.
16:20This is an answer to your question.
16:22Yes, things are going to change.
16:25For the better.
16:27Okay?
16:28I want to give you...
16:30everything you've ever wanted.
16:47I wasn't expecting you.
16:51I know you've put in a complaint about me.
16:54So much for confidentiality.
16:56I've got nothing to hide.
16:57I'm not sure you're doing yourself any favours, though.
17:00Knocking on my door and hassling me again.
17:02I'm not hassling you.
17:04It's all about the optics, Jacob.
17:06And it's not looking good for you.
17:08Don't you think I know that?
17:10Don't you think I know that people like me
17:11have no chance of winning against people like you?
17:14Finally.
17:15The mistake you made was thinking that you ever had a chance.
17:24I'd say goodbye, but I'm actually beginning to enjoy myself.
17:30To be continued.
17:44A watched kettle never boils.
17:47And if it don't boil, there's something wrong with kettle.
17:50But come on.
17:51I mean, how long does it take these people to make a decision, eh?
17:54I think we just need to be a bit more patient.
17:55It's not more getting stressed.
18:06What are you doing?
18:08Answer it!
18:08I don't know, but it might...
18:08Paddy!
18:09Right.
18:14Hello?
18:16Speaking.
18:20Yeah.
18:23No.
18:26Right.
18:28That's...
18:29Okay.
18:31What are they saying?
18:32God knows!
18:34No.
18:36Understood.
18:38Oh, this is horrible.
18:43Alright, well, thanks for telling me.
18:45Bye-bye.
18:47Babe, whatever it is, we can do it.
18:49We can appeal it.
18:50I don't want to appeal it.
18:55It's been mean status.
18:57I've been balanced!
18:58I can't believe it!
18:59I can't believe it!
19:01Oh!
19:04Paddy, we're so happy for you.
19:06Yeah, happy for us.
19:07It'll lighten the mood.
19:08Thanks, Nathan.
19:10And I've got even more good news.
19:12Well, whatever it is, Ruby, I don't think now's the right time, yeah?
19:15Mandy, you've pretty much told me before that you're in the middle of a thunderstorm.
19:18Well, I want to be your umbrella.
19:20That's great. Sorry, sorry. Well, there's a job going at the depot if you want it.
19:25What?
19:26I know what you're gonna say. We're fully staffed.
19:28That's because we are fully staffed, and I don't start like that.
19:30But this is family, Caleb, and Mandy can always help me with the wine business when you're quiet.
19:36I don't know what to say. Thanks, Rubes.
19:38No, this is your moment. I don't want to make it about me.
19:43What an incredible day.
19:48Speak to the ward manager, Stella.
19:51No idea how that hospital functions without me there.
19:54I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm gonna need you to retract that statement.
19:59Whatever's in that file.
20:01Why on earth would I do that?
20:03Because it's false. We both know it.
20:06Do we?
20:07Well, let's say I have been a bit creative in my complaint, but it makes for an excellent read, Jacob.
20:11A real page-turner.
20:12But it's not true.
20:14True. The truth only matters if people believe it.
20:17And nobody believes you, Jacob. Nobody that matters.
20:21Workplace bullying.
20:23That's what you've been doing to me.
20:25Oh, seriously.
20:25You really do need to get some new material.
20:27No, but you have made my life hell.
20:29And the fun I have had doing it.
20:32Oh, so you're actually admitting it?
20:33Oh, I want to make you the best doctor you can be. You're never gonna be a doctor.
20:38You're not smart enough. You're not strong enough. You're not determined enough.
20:42I am all of those things.
20:43No. What you are is pathetic. And weak. And by the way, you're not the first. And I doubt you'll
20:48be the last.
20:49But why?
20:50I don't know. Maybe I just enjoy it. It's like, um, it's like popping balloons.
20:56Oh, dear. Oh, dear. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna cry?
20:59No, nobody wants to see that. Do they? Oh, come here. Come here.
