00:00All right, Sarah, I don't think you're meant to see this yet.
00:02It's my baby's gristing party.
00:04Prepare to be amazed.
00:07Sarah, it's meant to be a surprise.
00:09What are you doing, Woke? You should be resting.
00:12Oh, sorry, this is, um, Robert's cousin, Serena.
00:27We've literally just popped it all over there.
00:30I was having car trouble and she came to my rescue.
00:32Oh, why didn't you call me?
00:34She just needed a jump start.
00:35And I was there?
00:37Yeah.
00:38Well, anyway, if you've come looking for Robert, he's away.
00:40You've had a wasted journey.
00:42Not really.
00:43I've met Sarah, who seems to have her act together way more than me.
00:47Love her son, do they?
00:48Keep that quiet.
00:50Bob?
00:51If you mean John, I can definitely assure you I haven't killed anyone recently.
00:55Oh, you know about John?
00:57Yeah?
01:00Is that a problem?
01:01It's just that it's a pretty big deal.
01:03I thought you'd have mentioned it.
01:06It's a buggy caller.
01:09So you knew him?
01:11Only vaguely.
01:12Sorry about the odd family do.
01:15And then mum sent me all the news links.
01:18Oh, right, so you're here to just get all the goss for the family group chat then?
01:21No.
01:22My mum was fond of John.
01:23She was really upset.
01:25Right, I think you should really be saying all this to Robert.
01:28Did you have anything to call when it happened?
01:31I wasn't sure we were close enough.
01:34I didn't want to trigger.
01:35Yeah, here you are digging it all up again.
01:37Really?
01:37Because he brought it up?
01:40Look, Robert's just been through a lot.
01:42And I think he's, you know, trying to move on from it all.
01:46I totally get that.
01:48And it's like I told you before.
01:50Coming between jobs.
01:52Taking a bit of time for myself.
01:54And yeah, it's probably because of John that Robert was on my radar.
01:59But he's not the reason I'm here.
02:04So he's not going to...
02:05I'm taking you away from your party prep.
02:07Oh, no, it's good.
02:08I need the distraction to stop me from stressing.
02:10The most important thing is that Gran's there.
02:12There's no doubt.
02:13It's not way too complicated to get into...
02:17Amelie's.
02:17Yeah, exactly.
02:19Anyway, excuse me.
02:20I just need to get to a little.
02:29Did you say anything about the mad room at the lake?
02:32You're not mad.
02:34Did you, though?
02:35No.
02:36And I won't.
02:42I saw a chat.
02:45I went to the police.
02:47Already?
02:49That's amazing.
02:51Proud of you.
02:53Well, they said they have to treat the sexual assault separately from the blackmail,
02:58which is kind of the whole reason I went back to them, but...
03:00Oh, at least it's on record now.
03:02You've got a fine chance.
03:04You sound like my husband.
03:05He knows.
03:08I told him everything and he's going to stand by me.
03:10For now.
03:11I mean, my marriage is pretty much over, but...
03:13Charity.
03:13Listen, let me get you a drink.
03:15I owe you one.
03:15You don't owe me.
03:16It's fine.
03:17Indulge me.
03:20Hi.
03:20Hello.
03:21Hey.
03:27Who's that?
03:30That is Robert Suckton's cousin.
03:32And that was the girl that I was telling you about earlier.
03:36At the lake?
03:38Yeah.
03:39What, she just ended up here?
03:42Yeah, with Sarah.
03:44With Sarah?
03:45What?
03:46No, I know.
03:47But listen.
03:48She's promised she's not going to say a word.
03:52Charity, she's a Suckton.
03:53I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of that girl's mouth.
03:55Oh, please, Matt.
03:55Just drop it.
03:57Drop it?
03:57Right now.
03:58I've got to focus everything I've got on being there for Sarah tomorrow.
04:01Because let's face it, beyond that, I'm just going to break her heart and lose her forever.
04:09Is that your car outside?
04:11Possibly.
04:12The one that looks like it's about to be on a tip run?
04:14Uh, rude.
04:15Sorry, but I mean, there's a coffee machine in there, a hippie lamp,
04:18some man-cured-looking panda.
04:20I like my home comforts when I travel.
04:23Look, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you homeless?
04:27No.
04:29Maybe I've spent a few nights in my car, but it's summer.
04:31It's fine.
04:32I'm not judging, but I mean, if you want to come and stay with me and Jacob
04:35until Robert's back tomorrow, then you'll be a lot more comfier than a pub car park.
04:39No, I couldn't.
04:39You're busy.
04:40It's one night.
04:42Honestly, you'll keep me saying, how are you with babies?
04:45I know all the buses to wheels on the bus.
04:48This fair room is yours.
04:49Look, I appreciate it, but I...
04:51Seriously, your family.
04:52It's not that deep.
04:53I can clear it with Jacob, but I mean, he's working most of the time anyway, so...
04:59That'd be awesome.
05:00Do you want to give me your number?
05:02Charles.
05:03No sign.
05:11Hi.
05:13Why are you sat here at my table eating that?
05:17What cake?
05:18Well, it's not mine, is it?
05:21Where'd you get it?
05:24I'm going to be late for the ladies, Christine.
05:27It's not like they can start without you, Vicka.
05:29Who sold you that sponge?
05:33It's not like they can start without you, Vicka.
05:36Aye!
05:37Get that rust bucket off my patch!
05:39You can't be here.
05:40Oh, yeah, you better run.
05:44You!
05:45But move it, or I will.
05:46I think we both know that's not going to happen, don't we, Nicola?
05:49You're stealing my customers.
05:50I'm not stealing anything.
05:51I can't help it.
05:52Of course, I prefer my tasty treats to your stale-dried buns.
05:57This is your fault.
05:58Get rid of him.
05:59Good morning, Suggins.
06:01Don't see the sliver.
06:04Look at you.
06:06Lost for words.
06:07First time for everything.
06:11Kev, I'm engaged to Aaron.
06:13I just thought you should know from me first, sorry.
06:17Yeah, well, I'm sorry too.
06:19Yeah, for shooting Aaron and stabbing you for something.
06:25So you're going to need a divorce then.
06:28All right, well, she'll probably crack on with that immediately.
06:32Thanks.
06:34So you're back?
06:36Since when?
06:36Robert Sudden!
06:39Game of you!
06:40Serena!
06:43Older hand's better than ever.
06:45And you're worse than ever at answering your phone.
06:48You all right?
06:49Yeah, I'm just, uh, well, I'm not sure how many bolts from the blue I can take in one day.
06:53Oh, well, then let's get to ground so we can catch up properly.
06:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:59Yeah, uh...
07:00Yeah.
07:01Hey.
07:01Another Sudden.
07:03You've got a cracking niece in Sarah.
07:06Still can't believe you're a farm boy now.
07:08Farmer?
07:09I run the place.
07:10Oh, who are you and what have you done with my cousin?
07:13From what mum told me, you hated this life.
07:16I did, yeah.
07:17For years.
07:18But then, uh, well, it just fits.
07:22It really does.
07:24So what changed?
07:27Life.
07:29You've lived a lot of it since I last saw you.
07:31Yeah.
07:33But, uh, I mean, it's been a few years.
07:39I heard about John.
07:41Saw what happened on the news.
07:44Did he really do all that stuff they were saying?
07:47And more.
07:50I just can't believe it.
07:51I mean, I believe it.
07:54He just seems so...
07:56decent.
07:58What, your new John?
08:01Barely.
08:02My mum's seen such a Barbara.
08:04My paths crossed a few times, but...
08:07I had no idea that he was, uh...
08:10That he could...
08:13I had no idea.
08:14No one did.
08:17Anyway, I'll stop talking about him now.
08:20So I said it might be a touchy subject.
08:22I'm just so sorry you and Aaron had to go through that.
08:24Yeah, well, we've moved past it now, and, uh, we're stronger for it.
08:30So, when do I get to meet this lad that's tamed you?
08:32Did you bring him back from holiday with you?
08:34I did, yeah, but he's gone off on a scrap run for the night now.
08:37So, uh, how long are you sticking out for?
08:39Excellent question.
08:41No idea.
08:42Well, where are you staying?
08:43Here, there.
08:45My car, mostly.
08:47It's only temporary.
08:48I'm just between homes right now.
08:51Right, well, till you decide your next, uh, digs, you're welcome to keep here.
08:54I wasn't hinting.
08:55No, but I am telling you.
08:57I want you to stick around and meet Aaron and give us a chance to properly catch up.
09:02Salt.
09:03Good.
09:05I'm a precious girl, so you can start out.
09:08Uh, sit.
09:09Let's get caffeinated.
09:11Then you will speak in a little bit.
09:13Hi.
09:15Is that a question?
09:17Hi, I'm Serena.
09:20Oh, sorry, it's, uh, my cousin Serena.
09:22She's stopping over for a few days.
09:23The herds here now.
09:24It's early.
09:25Yeah, I know.
09:25Um, I'm, I'm a farmhouse, sort of friend.
09:28Well, like, in-law, would you say, Robert?
09:30No, no, I wouldn't.
09:31I can't leave the year already.
09:32Hey, we're gonna need some help, Max, at the christening.
09:35Well, I'll give you a hand.
09:36Oh, well, uh, you know, you wait around a herd of cattle, do you?
09:39They're the big, scary moo-moos, right?
09:41Yeah, but it's not safe if you're not experienced.
09:44I grew up on a farm.
09:45That's how every waking moment when my mum got ill.
09:47What?
09:49Uh, let's chit-chat.
09:50More herding.
09:51After that, we've got a christening to get to.
09:53Oh, no, we've told Sarah it's a crazy time for us, so.
09:56Yeah, Sarah knows we can't make the service.
09:57But I bet we can make the pub bash after.
09:59Well, you two can, but I've been away from this place for too long.
10:01I need to get stuck in.
10:02Oh, life of a boss man.
10:05Well, let's get a move on so I can meet the rest of the family.
10:09Oh, you made it for the knees up, though, didn't you?
10:11No, I'm joking.
10:12I'm glad.
10:13Oi, lady.
10:14Once we're stripping your bed and sticking the sheets in the wash,
10:17I was dragged up, right?
10:19Don't want to be an unwelcome house guest.
10:21Well, you are welcome.
10:22Very unwelcome.
10:23I know, yeah.
10:24Why?
10:24If you don't, you can stay longer, you know.
10:26Don't you roughing it in your car?
10:28I'm not.
10:29No, it's worse.
10:30She's roughing it with us right now, aren't you?
10:32Hi, Robert.
10:32Is that what you're saying?
10:33For a few more days, yeah.
10:35Oi, oi.
10:36What did we miss?
10:37Everything.
10:38Just go.
10:39Go and take a look to everyone.
10:43You OK?
10:44Sarah, here.
10:45Settle down, folks.
10:47Oi.
10:47Show your care calls, will you?
10:49This is from all of us, for our Layla.
10:52We've each given a token of something that we've worn,
10:55so she'll always have a little piece of us to snuggle with.
10:58No scundies, though.
10:59Lady won't let me use my old honeypacks.
11:01Yeah.
11:01And the rag bag.
11:03Yeah, which I'm never touching again.
11:04Thank you, and thanks, everyone.
11:06And Grant and Mac, this gift you've given us,
11:09our little Layla,
11:10she's always going to feel as loved as she is today.
11:14To Charity and Mac.
11:15Oh, Godmother.
11:17And Kerry.
11:18Cheers.
11:19Cheers.
11:22I can't do this.
11:23Matt, wait, wait.
11:25Oh.
11:32What's it going around for?
11:34Please, can I have a good one?
11:36No, I can't.
11:37She's all mine.
11:38You've had her for ages.
11:40Are you okay, baby?
11:41Good one.
11:42Good one.
11:42No.
11:43Oh.
11:44Oh, my little Bobby.
11:48All right, mate.
11:50Stop staring at us.
11:50Get a bit of air now.
11:51I wasn't.
11:53Totally are.
11:54Shh.
11:55Well, I just haven't seen your mom here before, that's all.
11:58No.
11:59Well, this is Serena, Robert's cousin.
12:01Ah.
12:02Ross Barton, Mattie's cousin.
12:09Oh, my God.
12:10Sorry.
12:10What's happening on my Tic?
12:11Someone.
12:13Yeah.
12:13I heard that Kev's hiding out at yours.
12:16He's not hiding?
12:17Maybe he should.
12:18Who's Kev?
12:19Oh, scary, near psychotic criminal.
12:21I forgot my Tics.
12:22Oh.
12:23Oh.
12:23And you are Serena, father's cousin.
12:26Oh, great.
12:28Well, there's something.
12:29That's the last one worked out so well.
12:33Oi, Charity, bit of help, yeah?
12:35Yeah.
12:39I'm happy to pitch in.
12:41I'd save hands.
12:42Mind a few bars in my time.
12:44Oh, any work I would love?
12:45Oh, yeah.
12:47Clean out the front, poor man.
12:52Charity, please.
12:53I'm not looking for an apology.
12:55People owe me a chapter.
12:57Not that right.
13:03Mac, please, will you just answer?
13:05Where are you?
13:09What's wrong?
13:12I was about to go in there.
13:15Oh, you know.
13:16You're not a new one, are you?
13:18Yeah, I'm just helping out for a bit.
13:21I'm new too.
13:22Sort of.
13:23Again.
13:24I'm Kev.
13:26Nice to meet you, Kev.
13:29I know you.
13:31You wish.
13:36Bye.
13:37Dingle subbed and christening completed.
13:39I suppose that's you inducted into the village then.
13:42Yeah.
13:43How'd it go?
13:45It was nice to see Sarah looking so happy.
13:48She really is lovely, isn't she?
13:49Yeah, that's the subbed and half.
13:51Even ended up behind the bar.
13:53Who knew people watching could be so fun?
13:55Yeah, the novelty will wear off, trust me.
13:58Your in-laws were certainly an interesting bunch.
14:00That's one way for them.
14:01Why, what word would you use?
14:03Oh, there he is.
14:07Speaking of Dingle's, The Wanderer returns.
14:09Welcome home.
14:10Thanks.
14:12Thanks.
14:12Oh, uh, Serena.
14:14Aaron.
14:14Aaron.
14:14Serena.
14:15Nice to meet you.
14:16Likewise.
14:17Hope you don't mind a temporary house guest.
14:20No, not at all.
14:21As long as you help clean up after him.
14:22Hey!
14:23He's been fairly tidy so far.
14:25I'll have one last.
14:26And I'm nothing like John, in case you were worried.
14:29You knew John?
14:32Not really.
14:33What's that supposed to mean?
14:35It means not really.
14:38Sorry about the odd family do.
14:39That's all.
14:41Any idea about everything you did here?
14:44I heard bits.
14:45Yeah.
14:47Maybe give us a minute.
14:49Course.
14:51I said I'd help Matty anyway.
14:55Sorry if I've said the wrong thing.
15:05Why didn't you tell me she knew John?
15:06He didn't seem important.
15:08What, her being pally with that psycho didn't seem important to you?
15:10Especially when you and Vic didn't even know that he existed
15:12until he brought up here.
15:13She wasn't all pally with him.
15:14She met him a couple of times, that's all.
15:16Yeah, now she's here, living in our house.
15:17Yeah, but she's supposed to get to her family.
15:19Does that not sound familiar to you?
15:21Have you got any more bombshells?
15:22Do you want to drop?
15:24Actually, yeah, there is one.
15:27And don't get angry, right?
15:31Kev's back.
15:32Yeah, but he's all right.
15:33He's not interested in me.
15:34He even said he'd give me a divorce.
15:38But he's actually back because he's Lewis's dad.
15:41What?
15:42Yeah, I know.
15:44Well, anyway, you don't need to worry about Kev.
15:45You don't need to worry about Serena.
15:47Just give her a chance.
15:48All right, that's all I'm asking you.
16:00Safe to re-enter?
16:04I've been thinking,
16:06maybe I should find somewhere else to stay.
16:09Don't want to hang around if I'm not welcome.
16:11It's fine.
16:12Robert wants you here.
16:14Not only up to him, though, is it?
16:16Well, I suppose I'll just have to get used to that here.
16:20Listen.
16:23I get it.
16:25All the stuff with John,
16:27and then a new sub-dun rolls up.
16:28I don't blame you for being suspicious,
16:30but I'm not him.
16:31No, you're definitely not him.
16:33But I could just be a new and different flavour of psycho sub-dun, right?
16:39Well, I'm not.
16:42And would you be sitting here telling me if you were?
16:45Fair play.
16:48John was very good at hiding it in the first place and all.
16:52I suppose it's worse for you.
16:55You were the only one that let him in.
16:57Right.
16:58Thanks for that.
17:00You really loved him, didn't you?
17:03You shouldn't blame yourself.
17:05Do you charge for these therapy sessions?
17:07Our first one's free.
17:08Family discount.
17:09Well, not family.
17:10Full price it is, then.
17:14You're not the first person to fall for someone under false pretenses.
17:19Well, you've got a form, have you?
17:20Let's just say I've had a few dodgy relationships.
17:23Not John levels of crazy, though.
17:26There's not many of them knocking about.
17:28That ex of yours could give him a run for his money.
17:30Well, Kev's just a bit different, yeah.
17:34Definitely that.
17:35It's easy for you.
17:38You're a part of the biggest family in the village.
17:41Robert's hardly got anyone.
17:43Of course he's going to want to make the most of having someone new around.
17:48Just give me a chance.
17:51It's all I'm asking.
17:53I think you know why I'm here.
17:55It's Aaron Dingle, eh?
17:56Indeed.
17:56Indeed.
17:59You know, he's not always like that.
18:01Only if you say her name Sudden and you rock up out of nowhere, right?
18:05He's just...
18:07He's protective, that's all.
18:09And wary, I suppose, you know.
18:11Who could blame him for everything he went through with John?
18:15But once you get to know him, you'll see a different side to him.
18:19I promise.
18:21Is he very confident about that?
18:23Oh, yeah, because I know him, that's why.
18:25Underneath all the attitude and the grumpiness, he's got a big heart.
18:31They do anything for the people he loves.
18:35What?
18:37It's just sweet, you and him.
18:39It's what we're all looking for, right?
18:42Someone to make us feel like that.
18:45I'm trying to be mad most of the time.
18:47Guess that's part of your attraction.
18:49And why you love him so much.
18:51I do.
18:54Look, me being here isn't going to be a problem for you two, is it?
18:56No, of course not.
18:58Because that's the last thing I want.
18:59Like I said, I could stay somewhere else.
19:01Honestly, it'll be fine.
19:04Just give him a chance to get up the night.
19:11You're welcome.
19:14I've worked out where I know you from.
19:18You're a screw, aren't you?
19:20Nope.
19:22No, it's definitely you.
19:24I definitely wasn't.
19:25I'll never forget a face.
19:26Well, you've not remembered that one very well.
19:31I know you from somewhere.
19:33Well, don't bother discussing it with me anymore.
19:38Because I'm not interested.
19:40I'm interested.
