00:00I didn't expect to see you here today.
00:09Oh, I had to get out of the house, didn't I? I'll tell you what, my friend. She has
00:13gone doo-wop.
00:14Well, it's good to see you anyway.
00:17There's another thing. There's something I've got to tell you.
00:22Morning, fellas. Beautiful day, innit?
00:24Well, it was until you showed up.
00:27Take it you hadn't told him.
00:30Told me what? Well, one of you better start talking, and fast.
00:35Say hello to your new business partner.
00:48You OK?
00:50Er, sorry. I didn't hear you come downstairs.
00:54Why don't you go and grab a shower, and I'll make some breakfast for both of us.
00:57You're not going to leave the house, are you?
00:59No, course not. You're safe here. I promise.
01:14If there was any other way to do it, I would have done, but there isn't. Look, me back's
01:18against the wall.
01:19Oh, sling her up. Seems you don't work here any more.
01:23Well, actually, he does. I've agreed to keep him on as a driver.
01:25You stitched me up like a kipper.
01:27Oh, come on, Jimmy. I had no choice.
01:29Yes, you had. You got to talk to me about it, and you said you had three months to pay.
01:33Yeah, but things have changed. She's divorcing me now. I need all the cash I can get my hands
01:37on to pay for this hot-shot solicitor I've took on.
01:40Look, I know you're angry, Jimmy, and you've got every right, but in my defence...
01:45You have no defence.
01:47Look, why don't you just punch me and I've done with it?
01:50No. You're not worth it.
01:55Dad? What was all that about? Do you know what? I actually don't want to know.
02:10Hi.
02:12Look, I'm sorry for having a go at you yesterday. I was out of order.
02:19No, you weren't. And I'm the one that should be saying sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.
02:23I still shouldn't have mouthed off at you.
02:25And I shouldn't have been in your caravan poking around.
02:29Let's just forget it, eh?
02:31I've blown it.
02:32Blown what?
02:33Getting to know you.
02:36What is it you want to know?
02:39We could start with Aidan.
02:49Oh, please. Just hear me out.
02:54I'm not interested, Dad.
02:55I've had to sell my shares in the haulage.
02:57Yeah, I gathered as much.
02:58Because of Kim.
02:59Why are you telling me this?
03:00Because she's been blackmailing me, that's why.
03:02She found out that I'd slept with your mum and then she made me believe that somebody had kidnapped her.
03:08And now she's trying to strip me of everything.
03:10I don't want to know, Dad.
03:11Please don't. You're all I've got.
03:13You and the kids. You mean everything to me.
03:17You mean everything to me.
03:18I suppose that's why you forgot my birthday.
03:20I know. I'm really sorry.
03:23But I need you back in my life.
03:24And I need you out of mine. So please, leave.
03:32He was my best mate.
03:34So when you say he was...
03:37He died.
03:39We were serving in Afghanistan.
03:42So what happened?
03:44We were about four weeks in.
03:47The final withdrawal was only a few months off, so we weren't quite demob happy, but we were getting there.
03:54Then out of nowhere, it happened.
03:56What did?
03:58This young Afghan lad had joined our squad.
04:03He was one of us. We liked him.
04:07Anyway, this...
04:09One night we'd been talking about football and Aziz, that was his name.
04:13Said he'd never played before.
04:15So we took him outside for a kickabout.
04:19Aidan showed him a few moves and...
04:22It was funny because he couldn't quite get the hang of it.
04:27Then we headed back to base camp.
04:34Boom.
04:36Sorry?
04:40Bomb went off.
04:42Oh my God.
04:44Aziz died instantly.
04:47No pain, but Aidan...
04:52I tried my best to save him.
04:56Told him I could.
04:58But I was lying. I had to.
05:01I could see the fear in his eyes.
05:05I held his hand as he slowly slipped away.
05:10Hugged his body after.
05:12I hugged him and hugged him.
05:17Had to be dragged off.
05:19Hey.
05:21You don't have to tell me anymore if you don't want.
05:23No, I want to.
05:25I've bottled this up long enough.
05:30All that medical training, eh?
05:32Saved lives.
05:34But when it comes down to it, you realise you're not God.
05:38That's when I decided.
05:40That's when I decided to quit the army.
05:44Live in my van, tell no one I was a medic.
05:47But why?
05:49Because I didn't deserve to.
05:52Aidan thought I could save him and I let him down.
05:55And I can never forgive myself for that.
05:59Not ever.
06:02Twelve o'clock and you're slobbing about in your dressing gown.
06:05That's not you.
06:07I think you'll find it's very me this morning.
06:10Are you upset that I'm still here?
06:12I couldn't give the monkeys, actually.
06:14Well, maybe you should go and check on your horses.
06:16Just to make sure that they're still there.
06:18I can assure you they're safe and sound.
06:23Along with another prize stud I've just broken in.
06:27Suffice to say, I had the ride of my life.
06:31Twice.
06:35Well, that was lovely.
06:37You always feel better when you've eaten something.
06:39Yeah, I'm gonna go unpack.
06:41Before you do, can we have a chat about what happened yesterday?
06:46I'd rather not, Lydia. It's not me for sex, if I'm honest.
06:49I know it is, lovey. And that's why you need to talk about it.
06:52Come on, sit down.
06:58I saw you checking for cameras.
07:00I had to. What if he's put them up here as well?
07:03How would he do that?
07:05Well, the door's always open, isn't it?
07:07And he did it to me at Dale Head.
07:09Tracking my phone, spying on me through the puppy cam.
07:12But this is another level. I just feel so violated.
07:15Well, rest assured, I have been to this house with a fine tooth comb
07:19and there is nothing here. I swear to you.
07:21But, mark my words, he's made a big mistake putting that camera up.
07:25How do you mean?
07:27Well, like I keep telling you, it's evidence, isn't it?
07:29No, I don't care. I don't want anyone to see it.
07:31Look, I know it's scary, but the police are used to dealing with things like this.
07:35I'm not going to the police.
07:37You can't just ignore it.
07:39No, I can't. And he's probably hidden the footage anyway.
07:42Well, so what? You know, they'll have ways, the police, to recover it.
07:45They employ experts.
07:47He'll weedle his way out of it. He always does. I'm not going.
07:49OK. OK, nobody's going to force you to do anything you don't want to.
07:54Why don't you go and unpack?
07:56And then we can watch a film.
07:58I haven't done that for ages.
08:09Is this you getting your home back?
08:11Oh, please. See if I'm that petty.
08:14Anyway, you were the one who cheated.
08:17Yeah, once. Didn't go back in for an action replay, did I?
08:20Yeah, well, you never were a twice-a-night man.
08:22I want him gone.
08:24And I want him to stay. So put up or shut up.
08:28Either that or remove yourself.
08:30It'll make things a lot simpler. I won't be forced out my own home.
08:33Your home? Don't make me laugh.
08:36I seem to remember you moving in.
08:39With not much more than a carrier bag.
08:41Which is exactly what you'll be moving out with.
08:44You really are a spiteful old cow, aren't you?
08:46How come I didn't see you before?
08:48Probably too blinded by my bank balance.
08:51Which is half mine now, remember?
08:53Over my dead body.
08:55Which can be arranged.
08:57Let's try and keep this civil.
08:59Not if you keep abusing her, I won't.
09:01Remember, she's a lady.
09:03A lady? She's no lady.
09:05She's an old trollop that's well past her sell-by date.
09:08Oh!
09:28Laurel's late.
09:30Only by five minutes, ma'am. She'll be here.
09:32Anyway, while we're waiting,
09:34any ideas?
09:36I've got one.
09:38Okay.
09:40How about
09:42an eating contest?
09:44You know, like we have at Christmas?
09:46Only this time, rather than mince pies, we have pot pies.
09:49Oh, or better still, doughnuts!
09:51I love doughnuts.
09:53I think you'll find the point of a harvest festival
09:55is to give food to the poor.
09:57Not eat as much as you can stuff down your neck
09:59and then probably throw it all up.
10:01Oh, sorry I'm late.
10:03I've just had a day from hell, don't ask.
10:05Nobody was about to.
10:07Before I forget,
10:09your idea about making lunch with the allotment produce
10:11is going ahead.
10:13So, any other ideas for the festival?
10:15Me again.
10:17Oh, God.
10:19How about a disco in the village hall?
10:21That's a great idea. That's going to bring the teenagers in.
10:23Wouldn't we need a music licence?
10:25Good point.
10:27I can ask Nicola.
10:29You know, she used to be a counsellor.
10:31And I
10:33can tend the bar.
10:35What bar?
10:37Well, we used to serve alcohol when Ashley was a vicar.
10:41Um, OK.
10:43Anyway, the question is,
10:45disco or no disco?
10:47No.
10:49I'll leave you two to fight that one out.
11:01Here, let me do that before you ruin my floor.
11:03You've got blood everywhere.
11:05Oh, and that's my fault, is it?
11:08Where is he, then, lover boy?
11:10Gone.
11:12He's got a fair punch on him.
11:14For a financial advisor, anyway.
11:16Yeah, well, pity he isn't as aggressive in the bedroom.
11:20Careful.
11:22Sit still.
11:25It worked, by the way.
11:27What did?
11:29Your little stunt.
11:30I am jealous.
11:32Very jealous.
11:34Please, remember who you're talking to.
11:36The last person who tried to sweet-talk me
11:38was when I was 14,
11:40and it didn't work then.
11:42Yeah, but I mean it.
11:44I just wish we could get past all this.
11:47Then make life easy for yourself
11:49and move out.
11:51Not a chance in hell.
11:53Don't forget, I've got someone in my corner
11:55who's willing to fight for me.
11:57So you may have more to worry about
11:59than a bloody nose.
12:01Yeah, and I've got Dawn and the kids.
12:03My family, which is a lot more than what you've got.
12:05Your persona non grata at the moment.
12:07At the moment.
12:09But we'll get through this
12:11and we'll become one big happy family again.
12:13Unlike you, who'll end up all alone.
12:25Well, that was lovely.
12:27Do you want to take a cup of tea?
12:30What was it like when you went to the police?
12:33When
12:35Craig did what he did?
12:41Well,
12:44well, the first time I went, I ran away, didn't I?
12:47So I know how you feel.
12:49It's daunting.
12:51Yeah, my heart's thumping just thinking about it.
12:53Look,
12:55before I say this,
12:57I want to emphasise that
12:59whether or not you go to the police,
13:01that's your choice.
13:03I'm not trying to sway you either way.
13:05But
13:07I wish I'd done it sooner.
13:09Why?
13:12Because once I'd got it off my chest,
13:14instead of keeping it all in,
13:17it felt cathartic.
13:19Like I'd
13:21I don't know,
13:23let something ugly go.
13:26They dropped the charges though, didn't they?
13:28That's what's putting me off.
13:30Because, Belle, I didn't have any proof.
13:32But you have.
13:33Do I?
13:35He's too clever to get caught.
13:37And I don't want to relive it all.
13:39And then if it goes to court,
13:41I've got to talk about the abortion,
13:43about how stupid I've been.
13:44It's too much.
13:45It is when you put it like that.
13:47And what if no one believes me?
13:49Like who?
13:51The police or the jury?
13:53People are going to believe you, Belle.
13:55I promise you.
13:57He reels people in.
13:59You thought he was lovely, the whole family did.
14:01How are a bunch of strangers going to see through that?
14:03Because, like I keep telling you,
14:05you've got evidence, Belle.
14:21Can I come in?
14:23I was about to go to hospital.
14:25It won't take long.
14:30I've had a dove here this morning.
14:32I hear you've been blackmailing him.
14:36I wanted to see how far he'd go
14:38to cover his lips.
14:40I'm not going to lie.
14:42I'm not going to lie.
14:44I'm not going to lie.
14:46I'm not going to lie.
14:48I'm not going to lie.
14:50I don't know how far he'd go to cover his lies.
14:54OK.
14:56Well, you can keep me and Billie out of it.
14:58I'm not taking sides, Kim.
15:00I'm not here to ask you to.
15:02Then why are you here?
15:04To apologise for my part in driving Rose away.
15:08And keeping up the lie
15:10that she'd simply disappeared.
15:13It was cruel
15:15and it was wrong.
15:16Well, thanks for being honest with me.
15:20It's the least you deserve.
15:22Look, I'm sorry, too.
15:26I knew he slept with her. I didn't say anything.
15:33Think there's any way back for us?
15:36How do you mean?
15:38I care about you, Dawn.
15:40And I love the kids.
15:42I think of you as family.
15:44It would be so nice to be friends again.
15:47What do you think?
15:49So, we managed to get through a lot today.
15:52Well, not really. Most of my ideas have been boycotted.
15:55No need to be churlish.
15:57Actually, you did get your balloon darts through.
15:59Not yet, she hasn't. We still have to run it past health and safety.
16:03Cheers.
16:05OK, so...
16:07I spoke to Chas, and she didn't say yes.
16:10But then again, she didn't say no either.
16:12What did she say?
16:14That's what she didn't say that matters.
16:17I don't think she's keen on having us stay.
16:19No room at the inn sort of thing.
16:21Great. So, what now?
16:24We'll stay at Tall Trees, but not somewhere else.
16:28Claudette, I really don't think people want to listen
16:30to the Robertsfield over-80s choir
16:32singing Bridge Over Troubled Water with bass harmonicas.
16:36At least it'll be interesting.
16:38Oh, right, right. I've had enough.
16:43My dear, do you think she's all right?
16:46I'll go and check.
16:50Probably menopausal.
16:52She's been like a bear with a sore head since she arrived.
16:57How does he put up with her?
16:59Beats me.
17:00I mean, she's so opinionated about everything.
17:02I know. Tell me about it.
17:04I mean, leave me with her alone for five minutes,
17:06I would happily strangle her.
17:08Sorry.
17:09Oh, don't be. I had to live with her, remember?
17:12How did you do it? I mean, living with her and Charles,
17:14it must be like living with the Chuckle Brothers,
17:16but without the Chuckles.
17:17To me.
17:18To you.
17:21Just to say, Mum would like a lemonade.
17:28Should have put some arsenic in it.
17:35I know we've a long way to go.
17:38Like I said, it's all just a bit raw.
17:40And with Evan being ill...
17:42I know, and he's the main reason I'm here.
17:45All I want is to help in any way I can.
17:48Time, money...
17:51There's no need to thank me, because I'll do anything.
17:55And that's a promise.
17:58I'm sorry you've got involved in all this.
18:01Well, let's look to the future, eh?
18:03Now, do you want me to drive you to the hospital?
18:06No, it's fine, I'll get the bus.
18:08Are you sure?
18:09Come on, you know where I am if you need anything.
18:12Just phone, OK?
18:19I knew I'd find you here.
18:21Actually, didn't you hop round this morning, dripping poison?
18:25Just told her the truth, that's all.
18:27Well, that obviously didn't land very well.
18:29Cos she hates you.
18:30Oh, and she loves you, does she?
18:32Well, I've offered to buy the kids a pony, so what do you think?
18:35I think you're so obvious it's pathetic.
18:38And you're on your way out, Grandad.
18:41So be a good boy and accept it.
18:43She's my daughter.
18:45My flesh and blood.
18:46Never forget that.
18:48And remind me again what you can give her.
18:51Well, apart from grief.
18:52Oh, yes, disappointment, maybe.
18:56Oh, no.
18:57It won't be long before they're all back up at Home Farm.
19:00We'll just be one big, happy family.
19:03Sorry, Will, but I think this fight's over before it's even really begun.
19:21It's beautiful, isn't it?
19:26Yeah.
19:27I always feel so grounded when I'm out here.
19:31You will get through this, you know.
19:33And never forget, the people that really matter, your family, believe you.
19:39I know.
19:40This is nothing to be afraid of.
19:42I just don't know if I've got the energy to report him.
19:46It'd put you back in control of your life instead of him.
19:50Anyway, I've said my piece.
19:53Whatever you decide, it's up to you now.
19:56But I'll support you.
19:59We all will.
20:11Somebody's been in the wars.
20:13You know, I'm not here to talk about that.
20:15I'm here to talk about Kim.
20:17The cow's trying to ruin me.
20:19Right. That's where I come in, is it?
20:21Well, you hate her as much as I do, don't you?
20:23I doubt that.
20:24Look, I'll make it worth your while.
20:26I thought you was on your uppers.
20:28I'm not talking about financially.
20:30So what are you talking about?
20:32Whatever you want.
20:33I'm the man that can.
20:36Okay, well, having thought about it for all of two seconds, the answer's no.
20:39Come on, I'm desperate.
20:40Yeah, I know you are. I can smell it on you.
20:42And that's why the answer's no.
20:43Listen, I will do anything.
20:46Legal or illegal.
20:50Okay.
20:53Well, what if I asked you to do something that was, well, let's say, less than savoury?
20:57There aren't many unsavoury things that I haven't done.
21:00I've been inside, haven't I?
21:01Yeah, I know, and I thought you'd put all that behind you.
21:03So did I.
21:04Until today.
21:06Let's just say that she pressed a button.
21:09Well, you sure about this?
21:11As sure as I've ever been about oats.
21:13I want to bring her to her knees,
21:16make her life a misery,
21:18and make her regret the moment she ever set eyes on me.
