00:30What are you doing, Ob?
00:55Has something happened?
00:58Well, except my dog died yesterday.
01:02Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
01:06The worst part of it is Belle accusing me.
01:09And I get it, she's grieving, but it still hurts.
01:13I was there when Piper died.
01:16Holding her broken body, willing her to fight, but she just couldn't.
01:20Oh, Tom.
01:22It's such a shame that you and Belle can't support each other.
01:25I've tried. I keep trying to put her first.
01:29You know, bending over backwards to be more understanding, but she...
01:33It's just so vile.
01:36You can't let it get to you.
01:39However hard she makes it, you've just got to ignore her.
01:45But this place is your baby.
01:47I know it must be hard working with Laurel.
01:49Well, that has nothing to do with it, really.
01:51Yeah, but to sell all of your shares, that's drastic.
01:55No buyers queuing at the door, then?
01:57Oh, there will be, as soon as they announce that I'm moving on.
02:00Yeah, right.
02:02Well, I'd bite your hand off if I had more than £3.50 in my savings account.
02:06Look, you can hold your little announcement, because I'm going to buy you out.
02:11Dream on.
02:13I think as the only other shareholder, it's my prerogative.
02:16Well, you haven't got the cash.
02:18That is, unless you're planning on raiding Thomas' trust fund.
02:22Thankfully, I have more morals than you, Jay.
02:25Oh, and I'm using the office.
02:27I've got to meet with my solicitor, so don't come in.
02:30Ooh, solicitor!
02:39Vinnie, the usual, is it?
02:41Actually, I'll come back in a bit, yeah?
02:44Feel free. Just waft in and out as the fancy takes it.
02:48Sorry.
02:50Vinnie, hold up.
02:52Yesterday, I did not mean to make you feel awkward, you know,
02:57and I mentioned Gabby's motor, pleasing her.
03:00Yeah, it was my fault for dropping you in with Sarah, I guess.
03:03Hang on, let me apologise.
03:05You know what I'm like. A bit thoughtless.
03:08Dense, not appreciating that maybe it's actually a very sensitive subject.
03:14Yeah, here you are, banging on about it again.
03:17Well, yeah, cos I don't want you to worry.
03:20Gabby is clearly into you.
03:22I just think it's your little overthinking brain.
03:24Yeah, but for how long? Until novelty wears off?
03:27I don't know, Vinnie. Does anybody?
03:29I mean, isn't that the joy of it?
03:31You know, the flutters, the anticipation, wondering if the chemistry's there.
03:35Yeah, so no pressure then.
03:37Look, call me crazy, but...
03:40why don't you speak to Gabby?
03:42Say all this stuff, you know, get it out in the open.
03:45Really?
03:47Vinnie, there is nothing sexier than a man who isn't scared of communication.
03:59See you later.
04:03Belle.
04:05I've come to collect Piper.
04:07Right.
04:09Um, you should have messaged me.
04:11Why? So I can make sure you were here and not out on some early morning call?
04:15What?
04:16Piper.
04:18It's not possible. I'm sorry.
04:20What do you mean?
04:22You've worked in this place. You know we've got no storage space.
04:26You haven't, Tom.
04:28You wouldn't do that.
04:30You wouldn't just get rid of her without telling me,
04:32shipping her off in the waistband like a piece of rubbish.
04:35Belle.
04:36You have no right. No right.
04:38But of course you've got to twist the knife in a bit more because you are sick and disgusting.
04:43Don't yell at me outside my place of work.
04:45This is what you meant when you told me I'd regret it.
04:51Um, is Gabby around?
04:53She's in a meeting, so join the queue.
04:57Oh, Vinnie.
04:58Come on, then. Don't leave me hanging.
05:00Two cappuccinos, please, Jay. Thank you.
05:04I'm not stopping. I just thought maybe we could talk.
05:08What? You over me already?
05:10No. No. God, no. No. I just, um...
05:12Well, I wanted to put it out there just so it doesn't become a problem.
05:16Put what out there?
05:17Well, you know our differences in, um, experience levels.
05:21You've had relationships. Regular relationships.
05:24Regular relationships?
05:26Well, yeah. Ones with, um...
05:29With sex. You've had sex. Lots of sex.
05:32Wow.
05:33Well, it's no point beating around the bush. I don't know why. I didn't...
05:36OK, wherever this is going, please stop talking.
05:39I just... I want to be honest, OK?
05:41Because if it's a problem, then you can tell me.
05:45Vinnie, is that what you got from the other night?
05:48That you were just one massive letdown?
05:50Oh, God.
05:51Well, not from my end, clearly, but I just...
05:54The feedback you gave me wasn't exactly glowing.
05:56Feedback?
05:57Well, bear with me while I get out my scorecard.
05:59He said he was fine. Fine, like, you know, when Mum goes,
06:01''Oh, how's the temperature for you, love?''
06:03''Oh, it's fine.''
06:04''It's fine that we were at Laura's.''
06:05''Yeah, I'm a sink of lukewarm water.''
06:07What?
06:08You were stressing about us corrupting the family,
06:11and I was trying to chill you out.
06:14Oh, that's what you meant?
06:15Yeah.
06:16Right.
06:18I've totally humiliated myself now, haven't I?
06:20I mean, how have I got that so wrong?
06:22Vinnie, it's cute.
06:23No, it's pathetic and needy.
06:25But it means security's on you.
06:26You haven't.
06:28I should go.
06:29No, I am gonna go.
06:30OK, well, I'll see you at the pub later.
06:34Vinnie!
06:38Jimmy?
06:39Can I have a flat white, please?
06:41Sorry, just trying to work out these driving shifts.
06:43Distance in kilometres minus time taken off for road works
06:47and Rodney's bladder stops.
06:49I'm rubbish at maths.
06:50I can't afford to be, sadly.
06:54Ella.
06:56Look at you.
06:57I miss your face at the surgery.
07:01So does Liam.
07:02He still asks about you, you know.
07:05Really?
07:06Mm-hm.
07:07Any chance you've changed your mind about getting back together?
07:10Absolutely not.
07:11I'm not being anyone's pity project.
07:14Oh?
07:15No, it doesn't matter.
07:16We've drawn a line under it, so I hate to disappoint you.
07:19Far from it.
07:21Because you know what this means.
07:22It means you can be my wingwoman when I try online dating.
07:26I can't.
07:27Yeah, you can. It'll be fun.
07:29No, I mean, I could get recognised.
07:31That's why I'm not on social media or anything.
07:34I hadn't thought.
07:36Oh, Ella.
07:37Oh, it's fine.
07:38I'm not looking for a partner.
07:39Who needs a man when I've got friends like you on Monday?
07:42That's sweet of you to say.
07:44So you and me, a pub, tonight.
07:47Great.
07:48Great.
07:52Oh, Gabby.
07:55Check your emails.
07:57I've just sent you an offer letter.
07:59You serious?
08:01It's the best offer you're going to get,
08:03unless you want to haggle with strangers for months.
08:07OK.
08:11Well, that's decent.
08:14I still don't understand how you...
08:15It's not your problem.
08:17You got yourself a loan.
08:19Oh, it doesn't matter anyway.
08:20I'll find out when my solicitor does the checks.
08:22A loan, some savings,
08:24and the rest of the funds are coming from a new investor.
08:27What? Who?
08:29Morning!
08:30We're just in the middle of something.
08:32What?
08:34If you come to remind me about mediation tomorrow, I know, OK?
08:38Great.
08:39Did he say anything?
08:41Jay, let me introduce you to my new business partner.
08:48Why?
08:50Why would Tom come up here just to let Piper out?
08:53I don't know where Belle gets these ideas.
08:56He never put his own dog in, did he, Jay?
08:58He's a vet. It'd be bad for his rep, wouldn't it?
09:01She's gone.
09:03Who?
09:05Piper.
09:06I just went to collect her body,
09:08and Tom wouldn't even give me that last moment with her.
09:10What are you talking about?
09:11Why didn't I go through Ron? I should have just gone through her.
09:13Belle.
09:14He would do anything to punish me.
09:16Piper's on her way up here now.
09:18Tom went round first thing.
09:20We dug a spot next to Hamish.
09:22What?
09:24We thought you'd want that.
09:26Like your horses watching over it.
09:28That's probably Tom now.
09:40You told me you didn't have her.
09:42I said she wasn't in the surgery.
09:43If you'd let me explain...
09:45No. No, you...
09:47Belle, she was in my car.
09:49See? It's just a misunderstanding.
10:06So how did you raise this investment?
10:09Business loan against the house, was it?
10:12Cos that's the only way anyone would be daft enough to lend you money.
10:14Says the expert.
10:15Sorry, didn't he use your name to commit fraud?
10:18Oh, shut up, Gabby.
10:20Why are you doing this?
10:21Because I can.
10:22And because I trust Gabby a damn sight more than I trust you.
10:25Anyway, why's it so outrageous that I'm a shareholder?
10:29Because you're clueless.
10:31Ah, but I'm not.
10:33And you'll discover that when we double the profits.
10:36So the price will reflect that, then?
10:38My shares have just gone up by a third.
10:40That's not how it works, Jay.
10:42I think you're forgetting about the tales I can tell about you.
10:46You know, upstanding businessman, pillar of community,
10:49who's got some pretty nasty secrets.
10:52Like anyone would believe you.
10:54Oh, well, I think Eric will sing like a canary
10:57now he's not getting any free drinks.
11:00Well, lucky for you, I wasn't being serious.
11:02Great. So it sounds like we're on agreement, then.
11:05I'll call my solicitor and instruct him to proceed.
11:09She was so...
11:12..full of character.
11:14Clever, always making us laugh.
11:18We loved her so much.
11:20And we treated her like family because that's what she was.
11:25And I know that she was a huge support to Belle in...
11:32..recent painful times.
11:35You could say something, you know.
11:39A memory. It might help.
11:42A memory.
11:46Have this one.
11:48Piper.
11:49Locked outside all night cos he wouldn't let her in the house.
11:52That's how he treats his family.
11:54Are you talking about the cottage?
11:56She cried for hours. She was so scared, she was shaking.
11:59She was chasing sheep. She wasn't.
12:01If you were somewhere new, you can never be too careful.
12:04She was probably just fussing.
12:07There's no wrong with a dog drumming a boat outside.
12:10How are you taking his side? Why aren't you listening to me?
12:13Belle, can we please just get through this
12:15without your accusations and dramatics?
12:18We're burying our dog.
12:22We're not tolling Piper. Stop it!
12:24Stop pretending, Belle!
12:26Love, I know what's happened is awful,
12:29but all this nastiness, it isn't fair.
12:31How are you not seeing it? This is not real!
12:34Shall we just crack on, eh?
12:37For Piper.
12:38Yeah, I bet she'd hate all this bad feeling.
12:41Let's just do what we're here for.
12:45Thank you, Lydia. Sam.
12:49I'm glad that you're here with us.
12:52Shall I? Daddy, da.
12:55I'm so sorry that I broke my promise to protect you.
13:07Aw, I'm going to miss that little tea-towel flick.
13:10Eh?
13:11Well, when you first started doing it, I thought it was dead pausy,
13:14but actually, you've got Matty doing it round the kitchen.
13:17I'm glad someone's going to miss me when I'm gone.
13:19Oh, and I don't want to miss you either.
13:21I'm glad someone's going to miss me when I'm gone.
13:23Oh, not just me.
13:25Listen, I know we've had our differences,
13:27but you are not the worst boss I've ever had.
13:31Actually, you're sometimes quite nice.
13:34I can't believe I've just said that.
13:36Well, that's the point of running a business, isn't it?
13:39You know, like my dad said, being part of the community.
13:43Your dad was proper sound.
13:45You know, it's the first time in 15 years
13:47that a charmer hasn't been involved in running this place.
13:50Hey, Amy, are you going to come and join us?
13:52We're going to toast to the new era.
13:54Which hasn't officially started yet,
13:56but I'm chasing my swister as we speak.
13:59Hey, don't mind me.
14:01It's the new bosses you need to suck up to now.
14:21Well...
14:23That could have gone better.
14:25Couldn't it?
14:27You just couldn't stop your wild accusations.
14:30They're not wild accusations, Tom.
14:32We both know what you're like. You're sick and twisted.
14:35Oh, this narrative is getting boring.
14:38You know, everyone round here is just sick of you
14:40constantly just banging on at them.
14:42I can't listen to it any more.
14:44All your lies, your fake tears.
14:46You're your own worst enemy.
14:48They deserve the truth.
14:50What? Like you just tried to inflict on Sam and Lydia?
14:54That was embarrassing.
14:56Not just the truth about Piper.
14:58All of it.
15:01I mean, do you want to look even more insane?
15:07I have done everything in my power to make you happy,
15:10and all you've done is just jump
15:13from one mental health crisis to the next.
15:16You pushed me.
15:18You locked me in. You punished me.
15:20And you were at the house this morning. I know you were.
15:23OK, so we've got lies, delusions and conspiracy theories.
15:29I mean, it's all symptomatic, Belle.
15:33No-one is going to believe you.
15:37But do you understand?
15:39Do you understand?
15:43Good.
15:45And I was right, FYI, about the dog's lack of training.
15:50Maybe if you taught her a lick of road safety,
15:53she would have ran away from the car, not towards it.
15:59Although, maybe she recognised the driver.
16:04I guess we'll never know.
16:06Oh, my God.
16:08I was right, it was you.
16:10You hit her, and then...
16:12And then what? You waited for me to leave the pub.
16:14You were just... You were sat there.
16:16I've got no idea what you're talking about.
16:19You pretended that you'd just found her.
16:22And that whole time you could have got her to the vets,
16:24you could have saved her, but no, you watched her in agony.
16:27We did everything we could to save her.
16:29Rona and I literally stayed up all night working on her.
16:34Now talk about ungrateful.
16:37Did you ever love her or show her as a weapon?
16:44You've done your worst, Tom.
16:46You've taken everything away from me.
16:51How are you going to hurt me now?
17:00Nice.
17:02We sealing the deal over a cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches?
17:05Er, just take it.
17:07Oh, signed it already.
17:09Not even one token quibble?
17:11You said you wanted it done quickly.
17:13Unless you've changed your mind that...
17:15No, no.
17:16You can get back to your next attempts at world domination.
17:19Starting with your leaving party, now that'll be fun.
17:22I'll expect the money in my account by the close of play.
17:25Yeah, and you'll get it.
17:27It'll be my absolute pleasure.
17:29Freeing Laurel from your toxic clutches.
17:31Bye, Jay.
17:35Bye.
17:41Hey.
17:43It's me.
17:45Get the money, it'll be in your account tomorrow.
17:48Laurel?
17:50Not a clue.
17:52She has no idea what's coming.
17:55So how about we finish these and head off into town, find a nice wine bar.
17:59It's all cocktails now.
18:01With a nice bearded barman.
18:03Bon bon.
18:04Tattoos.
18:06Bear's got a beard.
18:08Ella, I'm trying to sell you a girls' night out here.
18:10Bear, sweet as he is, it's not really the vibe.
18:13I don't really do girls' nights.
18:15Girl, you're making it hard.
18:17Sorry.
18:19I'm sorry if you think I'm brushing you.
18:22And I'm sorry for being such a fun sponge.
18:24I bore myself sometimes, honestly.
18:27Ella, you are boring.
18:29If you were, I wouldn't be sat here.
18:31But it's OK, we'll go at your pace.
18:33You keep setting those boundaries and hold me to them.
18:37My show.
18:46Bottle of Prosecco, please. Is Vinnie here?
18:49Vinnie?
18:51Yeah, about so high. Black hair, specs.
18:54No, not since this morning. You meeting him here, though?
18:56Did you get two glasses?
18:59I can always help you up.
19:03This, um, this Vinnie thing,
19:06it's not serious, is it?
19:09Sorry, I don't mean to criticise your choices, but...
19:13you've got so much going for you.
19:15You're intelligent, ambitious, independent,
19:18and, obviously, really hot.
19:22Well, thank you for your unsolicited opinion.
19:25So glad I've got a man to tell me.
19:27What I mean is, if it wasn't too soon after Belle,
19:30I'd put my hat in the ring.
19:32Vinnie, quick.
19:34Got competition, apparently.
19:36What, Gabby? You're getting me in trouble.
19:38Tom was ironing up your drink.
19:41He ain't joining us, is he?
19:43What, making third wheel?
19:45Spare the poor boy.
19:53Sorry.
19:55We can take as long as you want.
20:00I wasn't going to do this.
20:02I haven't planned...
20:06Did something happen to make you come today?
20:14My husband.
20:17I thought if I left him, it'd stop.
20:21What would stop, Belle?
20:26Are you in any danger from your husband now?
20:31Belle?
20:33I don't want to report him.
20:35I can't. That's not why I've come.
20:37It's OK. I'm not going to make you do anything.
20:44I read about Claire's law online.
20:49And that way I'll know if...
20:51if he's done it to someone else, or if...
20:54It's not your fault.
20:57You know, however he's hurt you,
20:59made you feel, whatever he's told you,
21:03it's not your fault.
21:06I know.
