00:30Well, Johnny's on a sleepover, so I'm introducing Vanessa to my grandmother's tipsy lair.
00:35Oh, I think she'd probably prefer a tipsy lass.
00:39It's a whiskey trifle, my absolute favourite.
00:41Oh, sounds like it's a good whiskey to me.
00:44Oh, here he is.
00:46It's all to shame.
00:47Not really.
00:49I don't know where he gets the energy.
00:51All the time.
00:52What with the new arrival and exams looming.
00:54Because he's a proper trooper.
00:55And you don't have to worry about him.
00:56He's always got his head in his books.
01:00He never does anything to make me worry.
01:05You were spot on about her.
01:07It's all right, isn't you?
01:08Will you watch the shoppers for two minutes and burst them for a week?
01:13Jacob?
01:15Are you all right?
01:16You're very quiet.
01:17Yeah, just a bit tired.
01:25Hey.
01:25Just grab me some nappies while Eric watches Ayla.
01:28How'd you run?
01:30What is it?
01:31What happened?
01:32It's Todd.
01:34She's out there.
01:35Being all pally with Kerry.
01:37And making sly little digs.
01:39I can't stand her.
01:40Well, you won't have to for much longer.
01:42What?
01:42When I get taken off my placement, you mean?
01:44Jacob, that is not going to happen.
01:46All she has is some stupid file with some made-up evidence on it.
01:48And what if that's enough?
01:50You know what?
01:51I should never have tried recording her.
01:53She'll never let me get away with that.
01:55You were just desperate.
01:57And, you know, at least she admitted it all.
01:59Yeah, then deleted it.
02:01You still need to report this to HR.
02:04You've got that mean today, right?
02:05Nah, she'll just deny everything.
02:08She'll twist it and make me look bad, just like she has with Vanessa.
02:12Still can't believe she's fallen for it.
02:14Though she was smarter than that.
02:16Yeah, well, Todd knows what she's doing.
02:18She gets everyone on side and then plays the victim.
02:21You know, I guarantee she'll make everyone at work think I've got a vendetta against her.
02:24Oh, they'll finally see through her.
02:26You said there was other complaints about her.
02:28Yeah, but nothing official, though.
02:29Yeah, but it means you're not on your own.
02:30Look, Sarah, I know what you're trying to do.
02:33But there's no point.
02:34She's won.
02:36Jacob, you have to try.
02:38No matter how hard it is.
02:40Because you are so strong.
02:42You proved that when your mum died.
02:49Hey!
02:51You're up early again.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Can't seem to sleep past five.
02:56I thought things had changed.
02:58That I'd feel better.
03:00You know, now that Paddy's in the clear will work.
03:03But I don't.
03:04Didn't work either.
03:05No, no, I'll just...
03:06I'll bring you a coffee.
03:08This...
03:08This all looks exhausting.
03:11Oh, it helps.
03:12I don't know why.
03:13Well, you...
03:14You look after yourself, yeah?
03:16Don't want you doing yourself a mischief.
03:18No, no, no.
03:18I'm strong as an ox.
03:20About the only thing I've got going for me.
03:22Yeah, enough of that.
03:23I have to tell you the truth.
03:25I wonder what to do with me sin once all this is finished.
03:28Well, let's forget about the flask.
03:29Let me see you sit, Kath.
03:30No, no, no.
03:31You can't be late.
03:32It's your first day at work.
03:33Yeah.
03:34I'm a bit nervous.
03:35I don't know why.
03:36It's only our gay left.
03:37Well, he's lucky to have you on board.
03:39Don't you forget it.
03:40Let's go drink later, yeah?
03:42Aye.
03:42All right.
03:43Ha.
03:51Are you going to wake up and say hi to Uncle?
03:53I've heard it.
03:53Great Uncle.
03:54Uncle's fine.
03:55Yeah, and trust me, you don't want it to wake up yet.
03:57They can probably hear it crying in Hotton.
04:01What are they doing here?
04:02What else, Bob?
04:04Oh, nothing.
04:04I just thought they'd be at the farm.
04:06Oh, I'll take your order in one second.
04:09Oi.
04:10How's this little one doing in, er, not so little one?
04:13I'm tired.
04:14Look what Robert got us.
04:16Oh.
04:17He's very generous.
04:18Well, he's from Vic and Diane, too.
04:20We couldn't figure out what to get you.
04:21That's why it took so long.
04:22Oh, no, it's perfect.
04:24Oh, I can't wait for them to meet you.
04:25Oh, neither can they.
04:26Yeah, you know they're loving the photos.
04:30Andy would be dead proud.
04:32Yeah, I wish he was here.
04:33Oh, Mum.
04:35Well, you've always got us.
04:36You know, we're not going anywhere.
04:38Thanks.
04:39Anyway, I'd best get home and try and put a wash on before her next feed.
04:42Bye-bye, gorgeous.
04:45You will call me tomorrow, won't you, and let me know how it goes?
04:48Yeah.
04:50How are you feeling about it, Samara?
04:52Er, just got to turn up, haven't I?
04:55Right, no big deal, then.
04:59I'll get the coffee, too.
05:01Yeah, no, I will.
05:02You grab us a table outside.
05:03I fancy some fresh air.
05:05I'll see you soon.
05:06Yeah, I'll see you soon.
05:07I'll see you soon.
05:09Hey, yeah, you all right?
05:11Hey, yeah.
05:12Okay.
05:12How are you?
05:13Yeah, I'm good.
05:13How are you doing?
05:25Carol is very keen to talk to you.
05:27It's another black mark, I'm afraid.
05:29You need to stop turning up at my house and make me feel threatened.
05:32And you need to stop lying.
05:35Is that the best you can do?
05:37I hope you've got some evidence.
05:39We both know who's in the wrong.
05:41Well, Carol certainly does.
05:43Go on, then.
05:44In you go.
05:45Tell your tales.
05:46I'm trying to burst into tears.
05:47It's not very professional.
05:54Aw, baby lady's such a cutie.
05:56I bet you and Ken are loving it.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Certainly nice to have something to smile about.
06:01Okay, that's all there for you.
06:04Two coffees.
06:05I'll bring them up when they're ready.
06:06Cheers.
06:09Enjoying your drinks, boys?
06:12What happened to us staying away?
06:13Come on, Moira, be fair.
06:15Fair?
06:16You want to talk about what's fair?
06:17We shouldn't be talking about anything in here.
06:19Worried your little secret will get out.
06:22Get the message, Robert.
06:23You're not welcome.
06:24He's allowed to see Sarah and Layla.
06:26Is that you being all head of the family?
06:28What did you expect him to do?
06:30You know how sorry I am.
06:31So I just have to act like everything is normal.
06:34You know what?
06:35You get your claws in.
06:36Manipulating Sarah.
06:37What?
06:38Throw her money at her.
06:40It was a present for the baby.
06:41Come on, Robert.
06:42You're so obvious.
06:43You're trying to play the doting uncle and think everything's going to be forgotten.
06:46That's not what I'm doing.
06:48You know, I am keeping quiet for Cain's sake.
06:50I know.
06:51And I'm grateful.
06:52I don't need him ripping you apart when he's meant to be looking after himself for tomorrow.
06:55So for the first time in your life, do the right thing and stick to your side of the deal.
07:00Stay away.
07:09It was awful.
07:10She got in there before me.
07:12Made sure I knew the hospital was on her side.
07:17Who?
07:17Carol?
07:19Yeah, she says what she always says.
07:21That they're listening, that they want to support me.
07:24It doesn't mean anything.
07:29Could you get them?
07:30Oh, great.
07:32I don't believe this.
07:33They're giving us some sort of award now.
07:36God knows.
07:38Right, I'm going to go.
07:40Right, I love you too.
07:41Bye.
07:41Thank you to Stella for running down the corridor to the shop.
07:44You really didn't need to, but, er, they're beautiful.
07:48I know this must come as a bit of a shock to you all.
07:51It doesn't feel quite real to me yet, either, but sometimes you have to grab an opportunity.
07:55Well, it's there.
07:57You've all been very kind about my poor father passing away.
08:01And the stressful nature of his last few days made me rethink my own life.
08:06And now, a new chapter awaits.
08:09And hopefully, early retirement will be a bit more relaxing than this place.
08:14LAUGHTER
08:18Don't worry, I'm not going to make a big speech, but I just want to remind you all that loyalty
08:24counts for everything in this game.
08:28So look after each other, because you can be as charming and as clever as you like.
08:34But if you don't know what true loyalty is, you won't last long.
09:06Right. You go to your bed and I'll see what medicine I have for you.
09:10Is Dad home?
09:12No.
09:14His car wasn't there, so he must have gone to the shop or something.
09:21Oi!
09:22You are not watching television if you've got a headache.
09:26You told Mrs Massey it was so bad you felt sick.
09:29Erm, well, it's gone now.
09:33Is Dad going to be OK?
09:35Did you lie to your teacher so that I would come and pick you up from school?
09:42For God's sake, Isaac, do you not think I've got enough to deal with?
09:45I just wanted to see Dad.
09:47Well, you can't.
09:48You know what?
09:49You're going to school and you're apologising to Mrs Massey.
09:53I'm not getting in trouble.
09:54Yeah, good.
09:55That's what you deserve.
09:56I am sick of everyone treating me like some idiot, you selfish, silly little boy.
10:03And what's going on?
10:09But nobody retires without any notice.
10:11They think you've got it for a while.
10:12And then what with the divorce and Dad dying.
10:15It's his funeral tomorrow.
10:17So it's fitting, really.
10:18Everything coming to an end.
10:20Sorry, it's none of my business.
10:22It's fine, you're a good friend.
10:24And, er, I was owed a lot of leave, so here I am.
10:28They're going to miss you.
10:29I hope so.
10:30Here we are, ladies.
10:32And congratulations!
10:35Lebs, I know I'm being dead cheeky, but he's honestly been like a lost soul since he got home.
10:40And I'm sorry, I really am, but...
10:41We're fully staffed.
10:43Can you stop doing that?
10:45Besides, I'm the one that's paying the wages.
10:47Stop being so inflexible.
10:48I'm not wanting to charity.
10:50He just needs a few hours, Caleb.
10:53Until he gets back on his feet, he's here.
10:55Go on, Kate.
11:04Thank you!
11:05Oh, your love's playing the hero.
11:06We're doing him a favour, really.
11:08And I've had another idea, which I think you're going to love.
11:10Well, come on.
11:11I'll tell you later.
11:16Caleb's saying that I can work for him in all.
11:18Starting tomorrow.
11:19Yeah, just for a few weeks.
11:21See how it goes.
11:21Mmm, well, that's brilliant!
11:23Shall we have another drink to celebrate?
11:24Pipe?
11:25If you're sure.
11:26Of course we are.
11:32Look, why don't you just leave that?
11:36You know, you can't pretend to be ill just to wag off school.
11:41But I shouldn't have yelled at him.
11:45Stress about the operation, aren't you?
11:48I get it.
11:51More than I realised.
11:55Look, we've already been through it.
11:58Whatever happens, we will deal with it.
12:01Promise I won't get run over again.
12:08Look, you need to talk to me.
12:11Tell me how you're feeling.
12:13Same way as you going at me, too.
12:17And tell you what, I'm scared.
12:20Look, I just don't want you worrying about anything other than the operation.
12:25I want to help you.
12:30Then make sure you wake up after it.
12:34Yeah.
12:38You do hundreds of these operations every year.
12:40Not on you.
12:44That's all I can think about.
12:47You know, what would I do if something went wrong?
12:51How would I cope when I know I wouldn't?
12:57Look, it's not going to come to that, right?
12:59But if it did, but it won't, right?
13:03You'll do what you always do.
13:05You'll be a brilliant mum.
13:07I'm not even managing that.
13:10Poor wee soul.
13:11He's just as scared as anyone.
13:13Maybe more.
13:14And I didn't get him a chance to tell me.
13:17You'll have forgotten all about it by Tita.
13:19No.
13:20It was horrible to him, Kate.
13:21Well, I'll go and find him and we'll have a kick about and chat.
13:26You're supposed to be resting.
13:28Right, I will take him to the cafe and we'll have a cake.
13:33Kate.
13:36You don't have to do this on your own.
13:39We are a team.
13:41Remember?
13:43Yeah.
13:44Yeah.
13:59Orange and vodka, please.
14:01Oh, God.
14:02Why is she here?
14:04Oh, look.
14:04Just try to ignore her.
14:05At least you don't have to put up with her at work anymore.
14:07She's so weird.
14:09Making me think she got Carol believing her.
14:12She makes my skin crawl.
14:14Another two champagnes, please.
14:16And I'll get that.
14:17Oh.
14:18Well, thank you very much.
14:20What we're celebrating?
14:21She's only gone and retired.
14:24Very early retirement.
14:25Oh, jammy cow.
14:27Oh, shame for Jacob, though.
14:29He's losing his mentor.
14:30He's a resourceful boy.
14:32He doesn't need me.
14:41Has she seriously got on no shame?
14:43That pretty much sums her up.
14:45Well, she will do once your complaints come through.
14:48How do you mean?
14:49That's all over with.
14:50What?
14:51No, you can't let her get away with this.
14:53It's obvious she's jumped before she was pushed.
14:55Yeah, which means that it's over.
14:56And she's retired, so she won't be doing it to anyone else.
14:59I need to focus on what's really important from now on.
15:02And that is not her.
15:06Okay, yeah, well, we can look at options if you're...
15:09wanting a long-term contract.
15:13Sorry.
15:14Can I just call you back in a minute?
15:18Hi!
15:22What are you doing?
15:23Cheering the place up a bit.
15:24And before you kick off, it was my idea.
15:26Yeah, this is just my little thank you.
15:28So I'm thinking, free money or petty for everyone,
15:31but after that I am going to have to charge a bit for my expenses.
15:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:34You can't just take over.
15:35You definitely can't set up some kind of side hustle as well.
15:38She's not doing any harm.
15:40On the contrary, it'll be good for staff morale.
15:42Are the lads included in that?
15:45Caleb Milligan, I never had you down as sexist.
15:47Yeah, good nails are for everyone, babe.
15:50Well, I'm not sure the lads would agree.
15:51I think they'd prefer the table football back,
15:53so I'll put it all the way before I've got a war on me hands.
15:55No.
15:55We've put in a lot of effort.
15:57It were a bit boring before.
15:59Wow.
16:00You two are not listening to me.
16:04Well, that's decided then.
16:07As you were.
16:09Fine.
16:09Do you know what?
16:10Any complaints, I'm sending them your way.
16:16So good of you to call.
16:18I very much enjoyed working with you.
16:20Unlike some of your cohort.
16:23Yes.
16:24You got it in one.
16:25Oh, Richard.
16:27I'm going to email Professor Hargreaves in the morning.
16:29Make sure you get to shadow him when he's next in Leeds.
16:32Yep.
16:33No.
16:34The pleasure's all mine.
16:35Bye now.
16:37And she calls me pathetic.
16:39If the cap fits.
16:41Enjoy your retirement.
16:42I know I will.
16:43And you enjoy the rest of your course.
16:45I very much hope you get a good job at the end of it.
16:47It's very difficult these days,
16:49without a well-respected mentor putting a word in.
16:51But then, you always know best, don't you, Jacob?
16:54You always know best.
17:04Is that Cain around?
17:07Nope.
17:08And if it's to do with the garage,
17:09you'll have to deal with it yourself.
17:10I don't want him bothered until he's got past his operation.
17:14It was you I came to see, actually.
17:17Listen, I hate what Robert's done with those IDs just as much as you.
17:20Believe me, I was fuming with him.
17:22Hmm.
17:23Did you end up in prison too?
17:25Did you lose your farm?
17:26Oh, no.
17:27You got mine.
17:28Silly me.
17:29We're still family, Moira.
17:32And for what it's worth,
17:33Robert wasn't trying to manipulate Sarah.
17:35He just wanted to buy her a present.
17:36Can you just go?
17:37We need to find a way to get through this and pull together.
17:39Oh, spare me.
17:41And whatever Cain said about stepping up and being the head of the family,
17:44it doesn't count.
17:45Because I'm here now.
17:47Right.
17:49I do know how bad this has been for you.
17:52And I know what it's like to be inside.
17:54But I can't change it.
17:56I'm just...
17:57I told you.
17:59He's not working.
18:01Nothing all right?
18:02Yeah.
18:02Um, I just thought I'd come and see if you're minding me giving Cami a few extra hours while
18:05you're out of action.
18:07Oh.
18:08Well, as long as you don't let him take the mick.
18:11Hey, can you hear me?
18:13Sit beside me.
18:16I am really, really sorry, okay?
18:19I know you were just worried about your dad.
18:22And I was too.
18:25We've just had a lot going on.
18:28It's okay.
18:30Dad said.
18:33But that means we are not going to let anything get in the way of him getting better, okay?
18:37Because that is all that matters.
18:42So, you're a good man.
18:44Will you help me and your dad pack his case?
18:46And then when Kyle gets home, we can all curl up on the sofa and watch a film?
18:50Can I choose?
18:51Hmm, yeah, okay.
18:55So, are we all sorted then?
18:59Mm-hmm.
19:00I'll go back to work.
19:03Good luck for tomorrow, mate.
19:06Cheers.
19:12Oh, come here.
19:14Well, that's the last of the bottle.
19:16Which you've been for in the first place.
19:18Never mind.
19:19You only retire once.
19:20Oh, I never plan on doing it.
19:22It won't suit me.
19:24Hey, but you enjoy it.
19:25Tell you what, I'll knock the price down.
19:27I'll work out how much it would have been if you had bought the bottle.
19:29Oh, only if it's no bother.
19:31Of course not.
19:32Oh.
19:35Can we just go home?
19:37Can't stand being in the same room, is her?
19:39Don't give her the satisfaction.
19:42She'd love it if she knew how much he ate her.
19:45I've, er, I've tried telling her how he's been acting, but she wouldn't listen.
19:50Cos she won't want to hear it.
19:52She's obviously happy playing the little wife.
19:56It's not the reason you've retired, is it?
19:58To get away from Jacob.
20:00I mean, I know you said it's about the divorce and losing your dad, but it is still pretty
20:05sudden.
20:07You're in the wrong job.
20:08You'd make a good detective.
20:10So it is because of him?
20:12Not totally.
20:12You can't let him bully you out of your job.
20:14It's not like that.
20:16You have to do something about it.
20:17He's done me a favour, really.
20:19I haven't felt this free in, well, forever.
20:24And he'll get found out soon enough.
20:40Isaac is spark out already.
20:43Kyle's on his tablet.
20:45Thanks for putting up with Princess Bride again.
20:49Soon I'll go out of it one day.
20:51I hope not.
20:54What time are the others due back?
20:57Not for a bit.
21:02What are you thinking?
21:07I've only just got your back and now everything's going to change again.
21:14Not forever.
21:17I knew we were right earlier about being a team.
21:22Because whatever happens tomorrow, whatever changes, we'll face it together.
21:28I knew we were right earlier.
22:11I knew we were right.
