Armed with Robert’s secret, John stops Ross in the street. In front of Mary, Mackenzie and Victoria, Robert sarcastically accuses John of playing hero for Victoria’s sake. They dismiss his jibes as jealousy, and Victoria arranges a meeting later to sort things out between the pair. At the Woolpack, John watches with satisfaction as Ross confronts Robert about stealing weed from Butlers Farm, resulting in Ray’s men threatening Kyle. Pressed by Moira, Robert confesses the truth, leaving Moira, Victoria, and Aaron feeling betrayed. Mary warns Ross she’ll bar him if he causes another scene. Mackenzie and Aaron confront Robert, who lashes out, accusing everyone of being under John’s sway. John labels Robert paranoid and suggests he seek professional help. Victoria speculates that Robert might need a fresh start but vows to talk as a family once she’s home from work. John taunts Robert as he passes by, leaving Robert in no doubt that John tipped Ross off over the stolen weed. When Robert threatens to expose John, he headlocks him and taunts him with prison threats. Enraged, Robert grabs a spanner and strikes John, knocking him out. Robert stands over the unconscious John, before wiping down the spanner and hiding it. Aaron rushes outside, horrified. Victoria arrives at the pub to find Aaron tending to John as he waits for an ambulance. Panicked by what he has done, Robert flees.

00:05Ross!
00:09That's my name.
00:10Wait, um...
00:12Look.
00:14I wanted a word, but, um...
00:16Actually, maybe it's best not to interfere.
00:19Well, hang on.
00:20You can't just say that and walk off.
00:23Sorry, I bottled out.
00:25Bottled out of what?
00:27Well, you deserve to know.
00:30It's about my brother.
00:32What's he done now?
00:35Might, please.
00:36And, uh, yeah, I'll get that, I know.
00:38Are you looking to pill?
00:40Because, forget it.
00:42Married.
00:43Yeah, and I'm fussy.
00:44You just look like you need cheering up.
00:46Yeah, he's not his usual cheeky self.
00:48Everything okay?
00:49I'm fine, I'm just tired.
00:52Oh, here he is.
00:55Johnny boy.
00:57I wish you'd stop calling me that.
00:58Calm down, just being friendly.
01:00I find that hard to believe now.
01:03Yep, sure.
01:04I'm the bad seed, as usual.
01:06Everyone around here loves our local hero.
01:10Chas, Jacob, now Kane.
01:13Does anyone around here
01:14hasn't benefited from your medical brilliance?
01:17Well,
01:18John is an ex-army medic.
01:20Let's call on the
01:21action man,
01:22Dear Kendall.
01:25And he even tried to stage an intervention with Liam
01:27to help save me.
01:29Don't blame John for that.
01:31I was worried about you
01:32and thought you needed help.
01:33Well, that's even worse,
01:34because he's preyed on your worry
01:35to try and look the local hero
01:37in front of me and you and all.
01:38Oh, Robert, that's enough.
01:39This isn't a green-eyed monster talking.
01:41And that's not cute.
01:49I know he's behaving like
01:50a jealous idiot,
01:51but
01:52I don't like excluding him
01:54with family.
01:55And I've tried
01:57so hard with him, Vic.
01:59But he hates me,
02:00no matter what I do or say.
02:02Well, that needs to change.
02:03So let's get our heads together
02:05and come up with a plan tonight.
02:13Hey, can I get you a drink?
02:15Oh, that's very kind of you, John,
02:17but no, I've got more deliveries to make.
02:20You must be due another award soon.
02:23Hey, Aaron,
02:24you sure your mantelpiece can deal with the weight?
02:25Just stop, Robert.
02:27How many has he had?
02:28Oh, no, I'm stone-cold sober.
02:29In fact, Mary,
02:31crack us up in a bottle of bubble, will you?
02:32Just leave it, Aaron.
02:33Just ignore him.
02:38Oh, there he is.
02:39Been looking for you everywhere.
02:40Were you hiding?
02:42Why would I hide?
02:43Oh, I think we both know.
02:45No?
02:45No, but hey,
02:47I'm a busy man, so...
02:48This won't take very long.
02:49I'm just going to smash your head
02:50and then I'll go.
02:50Right, Ross, leave him.
02:51Yeah, what are you doing?
02:52He has long overdue a slap.
02:54Right, just calm down right now.
02:56If you knew what he'd done,
02:57you'd let me slap him
02:57and the rest of you would form a cue.
02:59Ross, what is all this about?
03:00Are you going to tell her
03:01that you stole our gate?
03:02Or am I?
03:03What?
03:06You're not weaseling your way out of this.
03:09You sort this out peacefully
03:10or I will throw you all out.
03:12I'm very sorry, Mary.
03:13But he is the reason
03:14that those thugs came to the farm
03:15and threatened Kyle.
03:20You even know?
03:21A reliable source.
03:23So don't even bother denying it.
03:25How could you betray me like this?
03:27You can either tell me now
03:29or Cain later.
03:30It's your choice.
03:32Okay, fine.
03:33I nicked Ross and Max Weed
03:35and I sold it.
03:37But I had no idea they were coming back
03:38otherwise I would have warned you.
03:40So you're a drug dealer now?
03:41What, no.
03:41It was a one-time thing.
03:43I can't believe this.
03:44So you tricked them
03:45and now your associates
03:47turn up to terrorise us?
03:49What kind of a person are you, Robert?
03:51He asked me before
03:51if there was another crop growing
03:53and I said no.
03:53I said I'm out.
03:55And then he told me yesterday
03:56that he didn't believe me
03:58so he sent those blokes up there
03:59to scope it out and check.
04:00So this is all down to you.
04:02And three guesses
04:03why you wanted that money
04:04for Ronnie's Field.
04:05You told me you cashed in
04:06an old investment.
04:07You wanted that field pretty badly.
04:10Why?
04:11It's my dad's legacy.
04:12That's the same sob stories
04:14he gave me to get a knockdown price.
04:16But you're loving this, aren't you?
04:17Leave John out of it.
04:18We are talking about you.
04:20I thought that you wanted to help
04:21but you played me
04:23and now Kyle's traumatised.
04:26He was the one
04:27that first got in touch
04:27with the bloke.
04:28Yeah, and then he saw sense
04:29and he backed out of it.
04:30Look at them acting
04:31like they're all innocent.
04:32They put their own families
04:34in danger by growing it there
04:35in the first place.
04:36Yeah, we were trying
04:36to save the farm.
04:38Stupid it, Robert.
04:38I thought you were too.
04:40You're still a coward, aren't you?
04:41Shifting all the blame.
04:43Moira, I'm so sorry.
04:44I never meant for anyone
04:45to get hurt.
04:46Same old story with you, Weston.
04:48Look at what you've done.
04:50I never meant for any of this
04:51to happen.
04:52It all just spiralled.
04:53You've got to believe me.
04:54But it's never your fault,
04:55is it, Robert?
04:56And all we've done
04:57is try and help
04:58and support you.
04:59How can you turn on us
05:00like this?
05:04No.
05:05I couldn't just sit back
05:06and say nothing.
05:07You were out of order, Ross.
05:09You kick off like that again
05:10and I will bar you.
05:12Mary, I apologise.
05:15He's clearly been through
05:16a lot in prison.
05:17I just wish we had
05:18some distance from him.
05:20There's a lot for Vic
05:21to deal with too.
05:22Yeah, she's soft in the head.
05:24He'll take advantage of that.
05:25Who are you?
05:26Selling drugs?
05:28Did you really want
05:29Gransfield that bad?
05:30Was it even worth it?
05:32You've lied to
05:32Moira and me.
05:34I thought you were
05:34on our side.
05:35I thought we could have
05:36been mates.
05:36I was desperate.
05:37I needed the money, right?
05:38You hate farming.
05:39Hey, just leave him be here.
05:41What does it matter?
05:42It matters because
05:43he's a lying little snake.
05:45You should have left
05:46the village the first time
05:47I told you to.
05:48Right.
05:48You've all had a go
05:49so can you just
05:49back off, please?
05:51Come on.
05:52Get you home.
05:54I'll still come round
05:55tonight.
05:56I can talk then.
05:57He's never going to change,
05:58Vic.
05:59He's a wrong one.
05:59He doesn't care about
06:00anyone else but himself
06:01and he'll manipulate
06:02whoever he wants
06:02to get what he wants.
06:04You know me, Aaron.
06:06You know me better
06:06than anyone.
06:07You don't really know
06:08who he is.
06:10You all think
06:11I'm the wrong one here?
06:12Wake up.
06:13He's manipulating you all.
06:14Making out like he's some
06:17courageous everyman.
06:18Well, how come you're
06:18always there just at
06:19the right time?
06:20It's not a happy
06:20coincidence, is it?
06:21Oh, you're just jealous
06:23that Aaron's now happy
06:24and you're not going
06:25to get him back.
06:26Enough.
06:27Enough.
06:27Yeah?
06:29Vic's right.
06:30He's not well.
06:32So let's all just
06:33back off.
06:36This is your paranoia
06:37talking, Robert.
06:40You need professional
06:41help and we
06:41are going to get it
06:43for you.
06:43I'm not the crazy one.
06:44You are.
06:46You're all going to see
06:46what he's capable of
06:47and when you do,
06:48don't come running to me.
06:59What did you have to go
07:00and say all that for?
07:01What, the truth?
07:02No, your bitter
07:03and twisted opinion.
07:04It's if you haven't
07:04turned enough people
07:05against you.
07:06I want to help
07:07but you're your own
07:08worst enemy.
07:11Wow.
07:11Not even a sorry.
07:13I feel bad
07:13that I lied
07:14and made you feel bad
07:15but I'm not sorry
07:17about John.
07:18He's playing you all.
07:20And what are you doing?
07:21What about the way
07:22you've betrayed Moira?
07:23Look, what's happened
07:24to Kyle?
07:25Howard, I didn't know
07:25that was going to happen.
07:26Oh, you sound like
07:27a broken record, Robert.
07:28And I know
07:29that I'm all you've got
07:30but they're right,
07:31you won't change.
07:33So what are you saying?
07:35That maybe
07:36it'd be better
07:37if you moved away
07:38and started fresh
07:39somewhere else.
07:40You want me to leave?
07:41This is exactly
07:43what John wants.
07:44Oh, you can't help yourself.
07:46What John wants
07:47is to help you.
07:48God knows why
07:49after the way
07:50you've treated him.
07:50This is not jealousy
07:51talking, Vic
07:52and I'm not going anywhere
07:53because you're not safe
07:53around him.
07:54Oh, well, you grow up
07:55and he's right,
07:56you are paranoid.
07:57That's him gaslighting.
07:58Look, I'm making out
07:59like I'm imagining things.
08:00I sussed him out
08:01and then suddenly what?
08:02I'm off my head.
08:03I can't be trusted.
08:04He did that.
08:05He manipulated you all.
08:06No, you have done nothing
08:08but undermine him and Aaron.
08:10You need to move on.
08:12Vic, you've known him
08:12in five minutes.
08:13We grew up together,
08:14you know me.
08:15Yes, I do.
08:16So I know all the years
08:17of you lying
08:18and scheming
08:19and doing whatever it takes
08:20to get what you want
08:21and now you're destroying
08:23your own brother.
08:24But I'm not sure
08:25we can carry on
08:26with you like this.
08:27Vic, Vic, you can't give up on me.
08:28No, I can't do this.
08:31It's not good.
08:31It's not good for me
08:32or Harry.
08:36Look, I need to get to work.
08:39Vic, please.
08:41Look, I know I've done
08:42a lot of bad stuff.
08:43I've done a lot of lying
08:44but you have to believe me.
08:46I am telling you the truth
08:47this time.
08:47I swear.
08:50Just go for a walk.
08:52Get some fresh air,
08:53clear your head
08:54and we'll talk tonight.
09:05Hey.
09:07You finish your packing?
09:09Seeing as there's, er...
09:10Well, there's nothing left
09:11for you here, is there?
09:13It was you who told Ross.
09:15No.
09:16Robert.
09:17This is all in your head.
09:19You're not worth it.
09:22I'm sure you've got plenty of enemies.
09:23You've even made a few new ones
09:24today, haven't you?
09:26You're loving this, aren't you?
09:28We enjoy it while it lasts.
09:29I'm the only one
09:30who's defended you.
09:31You think you're smart?
09:32Trust me, I will outsmart you
09:33and it's going to be you
09:34that's leaving.
09:34You need to stop
09:35with your paranoid
09:36conspiracy theories.
09:37I'm going to protect
09:38the people I love.
09:40I see you, John.
09:41And Vic and Aaron
09:41are going to see you too.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Good luck with that
09:44because, er,
09:45no one believes
09:45a word you say now.
09:47Oh, but they will.
09:48Because like they say,
09:49I can lie,
09:49I can manipulate too.
09:51Yeah, I've been playing fair
09:52until now,
09:52but not anymore.
09:54You're going down.
09:58You're scared.
10:00You should be.
10:09You need to be careful
10:10who you cross around here.
10:12There is always someone
10:13waiting around the corner
10:15ready to get you.
10:19I don't want to end up
10:20back in prison
10:21begging for your life,
10:22do you?
10:22Because that is exactly
10:23what will happen
10:24if you try and come after me.
10:31All right.
10:55It's okay.
10:58You're going to be okay.
11:00All right.
11:08John.
11:09John.
11:11What did you do to him?
11:13John, can you hear me?
11:15Is he breathing?
11:16What did you do to him?
11:18He started it.
11:19He wound me up.
11:19Well, don't just stand there.
11:20Call an ambulance.
11:23John, please just talk to me.
11:24Come on.
11:25Robert!
11:29John, can you hear me?
11:31There you go.
11:33What's going on?
11:34What's happened?
11:35Is he sick?
11:38Don't tell me you did this.
11:40John, please, listen.
11:41Just, the ambulance is coming.
11:42It's going to be here soon,
11:42all right?
11:43Just please stay with us.
11:44And Vic's here as well.
11:45Look, please, come on.
11:46Just open your eyes.
11:47Yeah, I'm here.
11:47I'm here.
11:48It's going to be okay.
11:50John, please.
11:51I'm not losing you.
11:51Come on, please.
11:54Aaron, listen.
11:55There you go.
11:57There you go.
11:57Can you hear that?
11:57The ambulance is here.
11:58John.
11:59Robert, just breathe.
12:02But you need to tell me what happened, okay?
12:04Because the paramedics are going to want to know
12:05and the police.
12:06I can't.
12:06I can't.
12:07I can't do this.
12:08Where are you going?
12:08Just let him go.
12:09Leave him.
12:11John, please, come on.
12:12Just stay with me.
12:13Stay with me.
12:15Come on.
12:16Stay with me.
12:17Come on.
12:17Come on.
12:17Come on.
12:17Come on.
12:18Come on.
