00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:29 What do you think?
00:30 Gold wallpaper.
00:33 Aye, if it's good enough for Boris,
00:34 it's good enough for our Esty.
00:36 How much did that cost?
00:38 I got it from that posh wallpaper shop in town.
00:41 They got books full of this stuff, so I just ripped a few
00:43 out.
00:44 Craig will run for his money, eh?
00:46 Craig?
00:47 What's he got to do with anything?
00:49 No, I'm just saying, he's not the only one who
00:51 can have a fancy pants house.
00:53 Even if it is 12 times smaller than it should be.
00:57 Aye, I see some furniture in this catalog.
01:01 I've got my eye on a grand piano for the front room.
01:03 Come and have a look.
01:04 Lydia?
01:09 Lydia?
01:10 Can you pass the milk, please?
01:20 No work today.
01:21 Yeah, I'm going in late.
01:23 They owe me time in lieu for the weekend.
01:25 You can pick up the kids if you want.
01:27 No, thanks.
01:28 Why not?
01:31 Because I don't want you anywhere near them.
01:35 Dawn, are you ever going to let me forget this?
01:37 I think I'll go and work in the other room.
01:39 Let you fight it out between yourselves.
01:43 Dawn, what do you want me to say?
01:45 About what, Gabby?
01:47 You trying it on with my husband?
01:49 Or are you trying to blackmail him into assaulting someone?
01:51 All right, I was drunk, OK?
01:53 And I said some ridiculous things.
01:55 But we all live under the same roof, Dawn,
01:56 so can we just sort it out?
01:59 You can't keep ignoring me.
02:01 You reap what you sow.
02:02 So what's on your agenda today, then?
02:08 I have a very relaxing meeting with a Reiki practitioner.
02:11 How about you?
02:13 Small animal clinic, x-rays, and then
02:16 searching for a new flat.
02:18 What?
02:20 Look, Sonny's great as a mate, but not
02:21 for sharing a house with.
02:23 He never washes up, leaves his dirty clothes wherever,
02:26 takes them off, and won't even go into what
02:27 he left in the bathroom.
02:28 Well, you should move into mine.
02:29 You'd get on great with my lot.
02:31 Done the whole student house thing,
02:32 and I need to get out of there.
02:34 OK, but you're not going to leave the village, are you?
02:36 I might have to.
02:37 Dawn, we barely see each other as it is.
02:39 Look, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
02:42 In the meantime, I have hamsters to save.
02:46 I'll see you later.
02:47 So will it be just me and they taking care of business?
02:54 Yeah, God help us.
02:57 I seriously can't wait.
02:59 I've got so many ideas.
03:00 Well, let's not run before we can walk, eh?
03:05 All right?
03:05 Yeah.
03:07 How's the ribs?
03:08 Sore, but I'm battling through.
03:10 Oh, yeah?
03:11 Keep taking those painkillers.
03:13 Yeah, will do.
03:14 That was an improvement.
03:21 It's the best I'm going to get, I reckon.
03:23 I don't know.
03:25 He might change his mind and come in with her.
03:26 I doubt it.
03:28 Gotta be thankful for small mercies, though, eh?
03:30 Oh, sorry.
03:35 I didn't realize you were working in here.
03:37 No, no, it's fine.
03:39 I'm just avoiding Gabby and her daily meltdown.
03:43 It's all getting very tedious, I know that.
03:46 I suppose she has been through the mill.
03:48 True.
03:49 Maybe I should change my approach,
03:52 you know, offer her a carrot instead of a stick.
03:55 So, uh, good to have you back on the job.
03:59 I'm sorry I didn't make it in yesterday.
04:01 Oh, the day before.
04:03 I was beginning to give up on you.
04:05 I can make up the extra hours tonight if it's a problem.
04:07 No, that won't be necessary.
04:11 Well, I'll make up the hours at the weekend, then.
04:13 Well, as long as you don't forget about us,
04:15 now you've got other priorities.
04:17 I do occasionally have other things to think about.
04:20 I'm really sorry.
04:22 I didn't mean to...
04:24 Hey!
04:26 What's wrong?
04:27 I was with Craig yesterday.
04:31 I took him to where I scattered Toby's ashes.
04:36 Oh.
04:37 I thought it might bring him some closure.
04:41 I'm sure it's all been quite a shock to him.
04:44 Do you know, at first, it was lovely.
04:48 It was lovely.
04:50 Not being at Toby's resting place.
04:52 Thinking about the man he might have been.
04:55 Craig never had any children of his own, either,
04:58 so it's something we've both missed out on.
05:01 And for the first time, I...
05:03 ..I really felt somebody understood.
05:07 I've never been able to talk to anybody like that before.
05:10 Not even Sam.
05:12 I'm sure it was very comforting for both of you.
05:17 And then he...
05:19 ..he took me home in the car and...
05:21 ..well, it all got a bit intense.
05:25 I didn't do anything.
05:28 We hugged and...
05:30 ..well, for a...
05:33 ..for a minute, I felt like something might happen.
05:36 And what?
05:39 I think I've made a terrible mistake.
05:42 I should never have done that.
05:44 Craig. I should never have gone there with him.
05:48 It's a busy day.
05:50 Yeah. Yeah, I'm, er, I'm knackered.
05:53 Not exactly in the right frame of mind to find a new place.
05:56 Oh, you're moving? Yeah.
05:58 I've had enough of Sonny and his trail of trampery.
06:01 So, time to shell out a grand a month for a shoebox.
06:05 Oh, well, you can afford it.
06:07 Oh, says you, from the comfort of your rent-free country estate.
06:10 Yeah, whilst I'm still living there.
06:12 Are you, er, thinking of shifting too?
06:14 Well, we only moved in because we were saving for a deposit.
06:18 And I'm starting to think it might be better to pay rent.
06:21 Kim giving you a hard time? Not Kim.
06:24 It's Princess Brack Gabby thinking she can make a move on Billy.
06:27 Get lost.
06:29 Yeah, she tried it on with him
06:31 and then she blackmailed him into beating up her ex.
06:34 Well, I've got to say, you're leading a much more exciting life than me.
06:38 This is the type of excitement I could do without.
06:41 Seriously, this is the most interesting thing that's happened to me all week.
06:46 Well, we can put a stop to that. Oi.
06:48 I'm doing it for your own good. I'm just trying not to get you in trouble.
06:51 I see you've requested Jim Macdonald. Wise choice.
06:56 Are you fans of cruising? Not really.
06:58 So I'm sitting there, just having my breakfast,
07:00 trying to be nice to everyone.
07:02 Meanwhile, Kim is staring at me like I poisoned her grandmother.
07:05 Why? Because they're all bitter, twisted people.
07:07 Can you keep it down, please, darling?
07:09 I mean, what have I done that is so wrong?
07:11 Apart from give birth to a devil's son's child
07:13 and work like a dog to fill her offshore bank account.
07:16 You're not that hard done, by the way.
07:18 You've got your own house, you've got a business worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
07:22 Yeah, which I had to give up 20% of Home Farm for.
07:24 Oh, poor you. Can I get you both a coffee?
07:26 Meanwhile, Dawn, the ex-drug addict and prostitute, can do absolutely nothing wrong.
07:30 No, thank you.
07:31 Right, it's straight up the stairs and on the right.
07:33 I've just... I've had enough.
07:35 Do you know what? That makes two of us.
07:38 This is the quiet carriage.
07:40 You are spooking the horses.
07:42 Sorry.
07:44 So, seriously, you're having a go as well?
07:46 All I'm asking is for some respect for our guests and their repeat business.
07:51 OK, well, thank you for the support.
07:53 Oh, for heaven's sake, Gabby, it's not like you didn't go into this with your eyes open.
07:57 We all know what Kim Tate is like.
07:59 This is the downside to being the broodmare.
08:02 Did you really just say that?
08:04 All I'm saying is that this is your chosen path.
08:07 So if you want to carry on slugging off the in-laws, can you do it outside?
08:11 How are we doing?
08:27 Look, I should get back to...
08:28 Sit.
08:29 Now, you don't think you're building this up out of all proportion?
08:36 No.
08:37 I've had this knot in my stomach since.
08:40 You know, it's not fair.
08:42 I've thrown all this stuff at him out of nowhere.
08:45 Three weeks ago, he was happy getting on with his life.
08:49 And then I came in...
08:51 ..and told him he's got a son who died and everything's turned upside down.
08:57 He needed to know, Lydia.
08:59 I know.
09:00 But yesterday was too much.
09:03 You both lost a child.
09:06 Of course it's going to be emotional.
09:08 I know, but he's... he's still taking it all in.
09:12 And I saw this opportunity to splurge
09:16 and get out all these feelings I've been carrying for years.
09:19 Now, won't be too harsh on yourself.
09:21 It's not fair to ask him to take all that on board.
09:26 Well, it's extremely selfless of you.
09:30 And... I should never have let him hug me.
09:34 I'm worried I've sent out the wrong messages.
09:37 I'm sure that's not the case.
09:39 I don't think Sam would be so relaxed about it.
09:41 About what? You didn't do anything.
09:44 I can't leave it like this.
09:47 I need to go and see him.
09:50 Nip this in the bud.
09:52 Hey, handsome.
09:56 All right.
09:57 I was just wondering what time you were finishing.
10:00 Oh, I promised Jacob I'd sort this out for his MOT.
10:03 Oh, you're so cute and cuddly in your old age.
10:06 All right?
10:08 Beer in demand.
10:11 You got a minute?
10:13 No, not really.
10:14 Cain?
10:15 Caleb's got three broken ribs.
10:18 You could at least offer him a cuppa.
10:19 It's all right.
10:20 Just wanted to give you this.
10:22 What is it?
10:23 It's a bloke I used to work with.
10:26 He's got a fleet of delivery vehicles.
10:28 He's looking for someone to take over a service contract.
10:30 Ooh, that sounds good.
10:32 Well, he's refused to take me up on my other offer,
10:34 so I've got to keep him with him somehow.
10:36 What offer?
10:37 Er...
10:39 Nothing?
10:40 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
10:42 It's no big deal.
10:43 Why don't you let me be the judge of that?
10:45 I just, um...
10:48 I just asked him if he wanted to share in a chauffeuring business that I've got.
10:53 That's all.
10:54 I just said I had too much on here.
10:56 I was talking to Caleb.
10:57 So what, just the two of you?
10:59 No.
11:00 No, I'm stepping away.
11:01 Yeah, there's just been Cain, Nate and Nicky.
11:05 The lads are up for it, so...
11:06 Right.
11:07 I just thought it'd have been a way for you to sort out your loans,
11:10 so you're just paying it back to yourselves.
11:12 But...
11:14 he is just way too busy, so...
11:17 Yeah, it's a bad idea.
11:19 Forget I even mentioned it.
11:21 Anyway, give that bloke a ring and he'll put some business your way.
11:25 See you later, folks.
11:27 Bye.
11:29 So...
11:33 anything to say?
11:35 What is it with you?
11:37 Does this stupid male macho pride have to get in the way of every opportunity that comes along?
11:42 I don't need anyone's charity.
11:43 Charity?
11:44 What are you talking about? He was offering to go into business with you.
11:47 Well, he can't buy his way into the family.
11:49 He's already part of it.
11:51 He is your brother, Cain.
11:53 And after all the trouble we've had,
11:55 we've finally reached a point where we might all actually get along.
11:58 Do you really want to throw all that away?
12:01 I mean...
12:04 (Footsteps)
12:06 Have you gone through the revisions?
12:28 Sorry, I'll...
12:29 Listen, it's late in the day.
12:32 Shall we go through this tomorrow?
12:34 Yeah.
12:35 Speak to you then.
12:37 - I say I turn up for the books. - I can come back later.
12:40 No, no, we're finished for the day.
12:42 Are you going over?
12:43 No, I'm gonna stay and finish up here, but you have a good night.
12:47 Are you meant to be going somewhere?
12:49 Nah, just going for a quick drink.
12:51 I would much rather stay here with you.
12:54 Sorry.
12:55 I think you...
12:56 Sit down.
12:58 I'd rather not if it's OK with you.
13:00 Don't worry, you won't get me into trouble.
13:02 I'm the boss, remember?
13:03 It's not a social visit.
13:05 I've just come to give you this.
13:07 It's my letter of resignation.
13:11 I'm not coming back.
13:14 Amelia!
13:20 Hang on.
13:22 Where are you going?
13:24 Baby massage. I need to get her shopping.
13:27 Are you OK?
13:29 No, I've told you I'm fine.
13:31 Look, I'm sorry I spoke to Chas behind your back.
13:35 I was just worried about you.
13:37 Why?
13:38 Cos you think I can't cope?
13:40 No, I think you're an amazing mum and you're doing brilliant.
13:43 Yeah, I am.
13:44 So please stop asking people if I can move in with them.
13:48 Where's this even come from?
13:53 I wanted to tell you face to face.
13:55 I feel at least I owe you that.
13:57 I don't understand why.
13:59 I'm not sure I feel comfortable.
14:02 With me?
14:03 No! No, it's not you.
14:05 Well, what then? Tell me.
14:08 I just think yesterday got a bit intense.
14:11 Well, I'm not going to deny that.
14:14 To be honest, I haven't stopped thinking about it since.
14:18 And I'm worried I might have given you the wrong idea.
14:21 Are we talking about what happened in the car?
14:26 Cos, Lydia, if I cross the line, I can only apologise.
14:29 Look, don't get me wrong.
14:31 It's not that I didn't want to hug you.
14:33 I just felt really close to you.
14:35 I don't think we should be spending any more time together.
14:38 I just want to get to know you again.
14:40 Craig, I'm married.
14:42 I've got a husband, a son, a life.
14:45 And I haven't.
14:47 That's not what I meant.
14:49 - But it's what you think. - No!
14:51 You're right.
14:55 I am a loser.
14:56 That's not what I said.
14:58 I don't think you realise how much yesterday meant to me.
15:02 Being with you yesterday, mourning our son.
15:06 I'll never forget it.
15:09 You made a lonely man very happy.
15:13 Reckon it's safe to go back in yet?
15:23 I'm not going back in to be slid off.
15:26 It's just that I really fancy a beer.
15:28 Oh, well, I'm sure Mum can sort that out for you.
15:30 She's nice to everybody, apart from me.
15:32 Right, you're starting to wallow now.
15:34 Just what is the point of me being here?
15:36 I thought we had this conversation before you went to Portugal.
15:38 Yeah, and nothing's changed.
15:40 Kim's got me locked up in some gilded cage prison.
15:43 A gilded cage prison?
15:45 That's not how it looks from where I'm standing.
15:47 Yeah, well, you don't know what they're really like.
15:50 I thought you were gonna shake everything up.
15:52 When you came back from Portugal, you were gonna take the world by storm.
15:55 Yeah, and then they soaked the joy out of me.
15:58 Are you for real?
16:00 The life you're living at the moment and all you can do is moan?
16:03 What is that meant to mean?
16:05 Gabby, I had to scrimp and save for months to pass my driving test
16:10 and buy a cheap old banger that barely runs.
16:13 Meanwhile, you're living in a lap of luxury.
16:15 You've got free food, accommodation, babysitters on tap.
16:19 You know, most people would kill to be in your position,
16:22 so don't tell me you've got a hard life.
16:24 Well, it is hard.
16:26 Nah, I'm not buying it.
16:28 Listen, the world's your oyster, Gabby.
16:32 You can go out there and do whatever you want.
16:35 The only person stopping you is you.
16:38 I had the odd relationshipy hero there, but nothing that ever stuck.
16:46 No-one who ever matched up to you.
16:49 I did look for you early on.
16:53 I used to dream about turning up at your door in a white roller.
16:58 Nice.
17:00 And I'd whisk you off to a Caribbean island
17:02 and we'd get married on a beach. Barefoot.
17:05 I can feel the sand between me toes now.
17:08 I stopped looking after a while.
17:11 And then suddenly there you were, the man I'd been looking for.
17:15 And then suddenly there you were, right in front of me.
17:18 God, that was an incredible moment.
17:21 At a job fair, of all places.
17:24 Telling me I had a son.
17:26 Do you not think that there's something else going on here?
17:31 Like what?
17:33 Well, it's fate, isn't it?
17:35 What, meeting at a job fair?
17:37 More like a sign of the times.
17:39 I don't know. Call it karma, kismet, whatever.
17:44 I think the gods were putting us back in each other's orbits.
17:48 Or Toby was.
17:51 Yeah.
17:55 Maybe he was.
17:57 Don't resign, Lydia.
17:59 Please.
18:01 It's not that I'm not grateful.
18:04 I know that you need this job.
18:06 Think of Amelia and Esther.
18:12 I just don't feel comfortable.
18:14 Forget what I said about meeting up.
18:16 That was just me getting carried away by the moment.
18:19 Seriously, I really don't want to accept this.
18:22 Please take it back.
18:24 What can I get you boys?
18:35 Two pints of zero and a bag of port scratchings, please.
18:38 So, tell me again.
18:41 Right, you went there...
18:43 Yeah, in all innocence.
18:45 I was literally just standing over a contact.
18:48 And?
18:50 And the chauffeuring business just came up in conversation.
18:53 Just came up?
18:55 All right, I brought it up.
18:57 But how was I supposed to know that Moira didn't know?
19:00 Any normal person would have just gone straight back home and told his wife.
19:04 So, how did it go down?
19:06 I don't know. I got out of dodge before he tried to break the rest of me ribs.
19:10 I'll get us a table.
19:12 All right? No Frankie today?
19:16 Nate's just gone to pick her up from nursery.
19:18 Well, you won't have to worry about that if you get yours off the ground.
19:22 No, I'll just have to worry about her dad getting shot or maimed or arrested for gun running.
19:28 You might want to keep your voice down.
19:31 You might want to sit somewhere else.
19:34 OK, look...
19:36 I know Nate didn't handle any of this very well.
19:39 Neither did you by the looks of your face.
19:41 Well, lads like him, yeah?
19:43 They get sucked in when scumbags spot an easy mark.
19:46 Are you saying he's stupid?
19:48 No, I'm saying he's not street wise.
19:51 Because by the time he realised what was going on, he was in too deep.
19:55 But I promise you, Tracy, it's all sorted now.
19:59 There'll be no more dodgy drop-offs guaranteed.
20:02 It's not the way I do business.
20:06 Well, it's good to know I'm not married to a criminal mastermind.
20:10 I just wanted to put your mind at rest.
20:12 Thanks, Caleb.
20:14 Yeah, that does make me feel a lot better.
20:17 I'm glad to be of service.
20:19 - Here you go. - Thanks.
20:24 Is your dad all right?
20:25 Oh, yeah. He's just doing the usual great job of building family relations.
20:30 One step forward, two steps back.
20:34 How much do I owe you?
20:36 Er, 6.40, please.
20:38 Er, listen, you around later?
20:43 I should go. Sam will be wondering where I am.
20:49 Why? Is he not like you going out?
20:52 No, it's... I didn't tell him I were coming here.
20:55 He'll be worried, that's all.
20:57 - Is he good to you? - Sam? Yeah.
21:01 I mean, don't get me wrong, he's had his moments.
21:04 Cos if not, you know, I'd be more than happy to step in.
21:07 - I'll keep that in mind. - I mean it.
21:10 I meant what I said earlier about the Rolls-Royce and the Caribbean island.
21:15 You only have to say the word, I can make it all happen.
21:17 - Craig... - We could make up for all those lost years.
21:20 - I need to go. - No, no, wait, please.
21:22 Lydia, I can't stop thinking about you.
21:25 Every minute of the day from that very first second I saw you at the job fair,
21:28 - you have been in my head. - Craig...
21:31 I love you, Lydia. I have never stopped loving you.
21:34 - What are you doing? - It's all right.
21:36 - No! - It's OK.
21:38 - Craig, I don't... I don't want to! - Shh! It's all right.
21:41 - Please, stop! - You don't need to worry.
21:43 It's only a fear.
21:46 #
21:58 Yeah, that would be lovely.
22:00 When do you want us?
22:02 All right, well, I'd better get my skates on then.
22:05 All right, I'll see you later. Bye.
22:08 - That was Chas. - Yeah.
22:12 She wants us to go over for something to eat.
22:15 So get your overalls off and your backside in for you.
22:18 Why does she want us to go over?
22:21 I don't know, cos you're her brother.
22:24 Does there have to be a reason?
22:26 OK, she thinks there's been too much upset lately
22:32 and she wants to do something positive.
22:34 Yeah, and who's put her up to that, eh?
22:37 Nobody. For God's sake, Cain, she just wants to do something nice.
22:41 - There is no agenda. - There's always an agenda.
22:44 Did you not learn anything from your mum's death?
22:47 That's a loblong.
22:49 I'm sorry, but do you know what?
22:51 We are all trying to make this work.
22:53 Me, Chas, Caleb, Nate, all of us, apart from you.
22:57 Look, if you can't be bothered, that's fine.
22:59 I won't waste my breath trying to convince you.
23:01 Come if you want to come. It's up to you.
23:10 Are you ready for this?
23:12 First up, protein-packing smoothies.
23:14 - Lovely. - That looks very green.
23:17 It's all local organic produce.
23:19 With a few sunny secret ingredients thrown in there to spice it up.
23:22 Nothing dodgy in it, is there?
23:24 Might increase your blood flow, if you know what I mean.
23:26 Oh, we'll have a bottle, then.
23:28 - Laura! - Saucy.
23:30 - Oh, hi. - You're just in time.
23:33 Laurel and Jay were trying out the new menu samples.
23:36 Courtesy of our amazing new chef.
23:38 Yeah, of course you'd say that. You're related to him.
23:40 - Can I have a word? - Yeah, sure.
23:43 Can you give us five?
23:45 - What do you reckon that's about? - Let's hope it's the pay rise.
23:51 Everything all right?
23:53 Yeah, I've got some news, and I wanted you two to be the first to know.
23:57 Oh, God, you're not pregnant again, are you?
23:59 No.
24:01 Look, I'm sick of people telling me what to do with my life.
24:04 So I'm taking control of my own future.
24:07 Which isn't here.
24:09 I'm selling up.
24:11 What do you think?
24:17 I'm just getting over gold wallpaper.
24:19 - Really like it, though, yeah? - This is like...
24:22 It's like my dream house.
24:24 Right, promise me you'll put the sparkly tiles in the bathroom, yeah?
24:27 - Yeah. - Can I make one small suggestion?
24:30 Mirrored ceiling in bedroom.
24:32 - You reckon? - You want it to be classy, don't you?
24:36 Hey, it's gonna be like Buckingham Palace, is this.
24:39 Top notch. Lydia's gonna love it.
24:41 Where is she, anyway?
24:43 Home farm, I think. Or up at Craig's. I can't keep track.
24:47 Yeah.
24:49 She's been getting a lot of hours off him, hasn't she?
24:51 I know. She's got work coming out of her ears.
24:54 You all right with that?
24:56 Of course.
24:58 - His sound is Craig. - He's certainly changed her tune.
25:01 Well, I've got to know him a bit now.
25:03 He's a top bloke, and he don't half know his birds.
25:06 I presume we're talking about the feathered kind?
25:09 Hey, if he took away the money, the business and the flash car,
25:13 we'd had a like. I get on really well with him.
25:16 I'm sorry if that got a bit...
25:21 ..when you dream of something happening for the length of time I've dreamt about it.
25:26 - You OK? - Yeah.
25:32 I'll get us a drink.
25:34 - What do you want? Tea or coffee? - I don't want anything.
25:37 Funny how things turn out, eh?
25:40 - If you'd told me two days ago... - Can I go home?
25:43 Yeah. Of course.
25:46 - I'll run you back. - No, I'll get the bus.
25:49 Don't be daft. It's rough up in this end of town.
25:52 You're gonna be out on your own. Anything could happen.
25:56 (Crying)
25:58 It's all right. Mummy's here. Try and get back to sleep.
26:04 Have you thought this through?
26:11 No, it came in a flash a couple of minutes ago. What do you think?
26:14 Look, is this to do with Victoria hiring Sonny?
26:17 I mean, I'm not sure I want to be involved in this.
26:20 I'm not sure I want to be involved in this.
26:22 Look, is this to do with Victoria hiring Sonny?
26:25 I understand that you feel uncomfortable about that.
26:28 It is nothing to do with me and Nicky.
26:30 It's people constantly telling me how to run my life. I've had enough of it.
26:34 What are you gonna do, love?
26:36 I don't know. Maybe go back and stay with Gran for a bit.
26:39 Do a bit of travelling. Haven't decided yet.
26:41 And what about us? Our jobs?
26:44 It's not really my problem. I'll see you later.
26:48 - Yeah. - All right. See you.
26:50 - Talk about leaving us in the lurch. - She's gotta do what she's gotta do.
26:54 After everything you've done for her.
26:56 That should have no bearing on her decision.
26:58 Look, if a big chain comes in, we are doomed.
27:01 There's no point in worrying about that.
27:03 There is every point, OK?
27:05 Whoever comes in will want to cut corners and bring their own team in.
27:08 - Who? - Er, erm...
27:10 Yeah, nothing's set in stone, so...
27:13 - You might want to start looking for a new job. - Jay...
27:16 Are we being taken over? Are we all losing our jobs?
27:18 No, nothing's happening yet.
27:20 Oi, have you heard this? Gabby's selling up.
27:23 Oh, man, I said she was my second shift.
27:25 - Do Amy and Mattie know? - It's all conjecture, OK? There's no details.
27:29 But why don't we get it from the organ grinder herself?
27:32 - Er, is Gabby in? - She's been and gone.
27:35 Typical. I wanted to make sure she was free for a cheeky little spa experience next weekend.
27:40 I think she may be feeling neglected.
27:42 Will we be getting a cheeky little spa experience with our P45s?
27:47 - Er, I'm not with you. - He's just joking.
27:51 - No-one else is laughing. - Yeah, but I don't think we should talk about it now.
27:54 - No, I want to talk about it now. - It's not the time, though, is it?
27:57 Right, is one of you going to tell me what's going on?
28:00 You have to watch it round here.
28:04 Speed cameras round every corner.
28:07 I'll tell you what I got done the other day.
28:09 A cop has stepped out from behind a tree.
28:12 Lucky I knew him.
28:14 It would probably cost me more in drinks than just paying the fine.
28:17 - Has your Samson had any lessons yet? - What?
28:23 Samson. Did he have any driving lessons?
28:26 - No. - We'll have to take him out.
28:29 Be in his element, driving round in this.
28:32 You OK?
28:36 Yeah.
28:39 Tell you what, let's put the radio up for a bit, shall we?
28:42 It's a bit of a mixed picture as we go to tomorrow.
28:45 Sunshine and patchy showers in the morning...
28:48 More rain?
28:50 You just can't rely on the weather in this country, can you?
28:53 I miss about living abroad.
28:56 Still, showers for the flowers, I suppose.
29:00 Silver lining to every cloud, eh?
29:05 Oh, my God!
29:07 (Police radio chatter)
29:10 Oh, my God!
29:35 - Noah! Noah! - What's up?
29:38 - I think I heard someone upstairs. - What?
29:41 I think someone's in the house!
29:44 - Red or white, Tracy? - A white, please.
29:53 Not too much, though. I'll have a cranky toddler to deal with later.
29:57 So, who's looking after her?
29:59 Brenda. I bribed her with a can of strawberry daiquiri
30:03 and a bag of giant chocolate buttons.
30:06 Brenda, that is. Not Frankie.
30:09 So, where's Cain?
30:11 He had to stay and work late.
30:13 - Aw, that's a shame. - So, what's the occasion?
30:16 Does there need to be one? I can ask you over for dinner, you know.
30:20 Just thought it was time that we had a family night.
30:24 - Oh, nice one. - Yeah, not quite a hall of fame, either way.
30:28 Why?
30:30 Who's missing?
30:33 (HORSE GALLOPING)
30:35 - Here we are. - Home sweet home.
30:41 Thank you for today.
30:44 It was really special.
30:47 I'm glad you're not packing it in. It'd be great to have you around.
30:51 And don't worry, I'm not gonna say anything to Sam.
30:54 I wouldn't dream of it.
30:56 We'll just keep this between us, yeah?
31:00 Oi! What are you doing getting Liv's home off the boss?
31:03 - Er, caught her trying to escape. - Oh.
31:06 I thought you were just at home fam today.
31:08 Blame me. I rang her, asked her to come into the office
31:11 just to sign some contracts and stuff.
31:13 - Well, I hope you're charging him. - Don't worry, she'll be paid in full.
31:16 Are you coming in? I've started decorating the doll's house.
31:19 - Can't wait for you to see it. - No, I've taken up enough of Lydia's time.
31:23 I'll let you guys get on.
31:25 Oh, by the way, give my assistant Ruth a call.
31:27 Let her know what hours you want to do next week.
31:29 Shouldn't you be telling her?
31:31 Come on, Sam. Lydia's the boss. Surely you know that.
31:35 Right. Have a great evening, folks. I'll see you later.
31:40 Blimey. You get to choose your own hours.
31:45 That's my kind of boss.
31:47 (car engine)
31:49 Yep, that's all booked in for you.
32:06 Yeah, with Mr King.
32:08 OK, see you then.
32:11 Well, you have a fan.
32:14 Apparently the only person that squeaked the guinea pig will lie still for.
32:17 Yeah, there's magic in these fingers.
32:20 Sorry, that didn't quite come out right.
32:23 How's the house hunting going?
32:25 I haven't had a chance to look, but I'm sure something will come up.
32:29 And if it doesn't, there's always a bed at Bell's.
32:31 Wow, you're brave. A posh boy like you at the Dingles, they will eat you alive.
32:35 Right, we've got approximately four minutes to go through tomorrow's schedule.
32:39 - What about the Medbury stock? - I don't know, I don't want to keep you late.
32:42 Well, let's get on with it then.
32:44 - Oh, hey. - Sorry to interrupt.
32:50 It's OK. What's up?
32:52 I just went by yours to grab my stuff and I saw you left this. Your appointments diary.
32:56 I was looking for that. Top girlfriend, then.
32:59 Someone needs to organise your life for you.
33:01 Are you going to finish soon? I thought maybe we could grab some food.
33:04 I think I'm going to stay on here a bit longer.
33:07 - But you're always working till late. - There's stuff I need to do.
33:10 - Well, we can do this tomorrow. - No, I'm up to my eyes tomorrow.
33:13 Let's do it now.
33:15 OK.
33:18 I've checked everywhere, like, ten times and there's definitely no-one there.
33:32 - But I heard a bang. Nowhere. - Well, the window in the front room's open,
33:36 so it must have been that.
33:39 Are you going to tell me what's up with you?
33:42 I can do this. I've got everything organised.
33:45 The bills, food, Es's appointments.
33:50 I'm even going to get my essay in on time.
33:52 Yeah, I know. Like I said to you earlier, you're amazing.
33:57 But I can tell when something's up with you.
34:02 I'm scared.
34:05 I'm scared sometimes.
34:10 Being on my own all the time in an empty house.
34:16 Coming to get up with her in the night.
34:19 I... I hear noises.
34:24 Thinking someone's broken in.
34:28 And after everything that happened with Lloyd...
34:34 What if someone else follows me? What about if someone else knows where I live?
34:38 - I'm just... I'm scared all the time. - Come here.
34:42 Now I sound stupid.
34:48 Oh, don't be daft.
34:51 I just...
34:53 I just wish my dad was here.
34:58 I could move in if you like.
35:04 No, I...
35:06 I want us to live together because we want to.
35:11 Not just cos you feel sorry for me.
35:14 Well, you can't stay here by yourself.
35:19 I need to talk to Chas.
35:25 Maybe take her up on the offer of moving into the pub.
35:32 That is one hot mamma.
35:35 Just like the chef here, Chas.
35:37 Can you not handle it, love?
35:39 - Any more of that garlic bread going? - There is one left.
35:41 - I'll get it. - Yeah.
35:42 Top.
35:44 - See, I told you it wouldn't be that difficult. - All right, pipe down.
35:47 Can you pass me them plates, please, Nicky?
35:49 - How's the big romance going? - Yeah, it's going well.
35:52 - Should've bought them tonight. - It's too soon for that.
35:55 - Wouldn't want to scare them off. - Anything else for you, Trace?
35:59 I've just stuffed my face.
36:02 To be honest, I weren't sure you'd come.
36:04 - Yeah, neither was I. - I'm glad you did.
36:07 I can thank your Uncle Caleb for that.
36:09 - Been really stupid, ain't I? - Yeah. Yeah.
36:13 I swear I'll never get involved in anything like that again.
36:16 Well, you'd better not. We have more than some dodgy criminal to deal with.
36:20 - Who wants a beer? Me, please. - Yeah, Chas, over here.
36:23 - Right, pass me out, Nicky. - Thank you.
36:26 Just a sec. Cheers.
36:27 Chas, gonna make a speech?
36:29 Yeah, well, first of all, compliments to the show.
36:32 Thank you, dear. Thank you.
36:34 Well, thanks, everyone, for coming tonight.
36:36 It was really about welcoming Nicky and Caleb into the family.
36:39 Although you're not a proper dingle
36:42 until you pass the initiation ceremony.
36:45 - Oh, no, no, no, no. Not in a wellie. - Where did you find that?
36:48 It was still here after their wedding.
36:50 - Are you kidding me? - Mm-mm.
36:52 - Come on, it only holds two pints. - We've all been there, mate.
36:55 - Yeah. - Yeah.
36:57 - Yeah. - Yeah.
36:59 - Come on, Nicky. - Unless you haven't got the kahunas.
37:02 - All right, come on. - Hey.
37:04 - I'll sit here. - Drink from the wellie.
37:06 Drink from the wellie. Drink from the wellie.
37:08 Drink from the wellie. Drink from the wellie.
37:11 Drink from the wellie. Drink from the wellie.
37:13 - Drink from the wellie. - Yeah!
37:15 CHEERING
37:17 Surprisingly refreshing.
37:20 Welcome to the family.
37:24 - Oh, my God. - And now for the big surprise.
37:27 If you have a look round the back, there's a little switch.
37:30 And when you flick it...
37:32 - Dun-dun! - Oh, let there be light!
37:34 Oh, I wish I had got anything in that.
37:36 Yeah, until you get the electricity bill.
37:38 I mean, I've still got to get old furniture, yeah,
37:41 but it's getting there.
37:43 - What do you reckon? - It's very nice.
37:46 Nice?! It's flipping amazing! It's transformed it, Liz!
37:49 Hello? I mean, it's a palace!
37:52 Yeah, just goes to show, no matter how broke some of it is,
37:55 it can always be fixed.
37:57 Yeah.
37:59 Wish Greg would have come in for another look.
38:01 Is he like the one you both used to play with?
38:03 - Yeah. - Yeah.
38:05 He can see it next time. You should invite him round for his tea again.
38:08 I will. I'm just going to nip upstairs for a shower.
38:11 What, now? You haven't had anything to eat yet.
38:14 I won't be long. I'll do with something after.
38:17 Shall I put that like a chimney of flowers?
38:20 - Yeah, move it up. - Move it up.
38:22 Look at that belly! You need to lay off them pork pies.
38:25 No, your hand's off the goods.
38:27 Oh, I'll save that for later, then.
38:29 Yeah?
38:31 Yeah. You know what they say.
38:34 The best thing about breaking up is the making up.
38:37 - I'm sure we'll get our coats. - Mm-hm.
38:39 - Hmm? - Success?
38:41 I reckon it's the closest we're going to get to a truce.
38:44 - Well, you finally did it. - We did it.
38:47 - We did it. - Mm.
38:50 Listen, you don't mind if we go off, do you?
38:53 I've got an early delivery to go out tomorrow morning.
38:55 I think we're going to shoot and all.
38:57 - Oh, you don't have to. - Yeah, need to sort Frankie out.
38:59 Yeah, thanks for a great night.
39:01 Yeah, your turn with the welly next time.
39:03 Oh, I'm happy you're still loyal to you.
39:05 Right, you ready to head off, big man?
39:07 - No. - I might stop for one more.
39:09 - Oh. - OK.
39:11 See you later.
39:13 Get going, you bunch of reprobates, and don't bother coming back.
39:17 Well, looks like it's just us three, then.
39:20 I had better show my face in the bar.
39:25 That is, if I can trust you two to be in a room together.
39:28 Ooh, what do you reckon?
39:31 You wash, I'll dry.
39:34 ( doorbell rings )
39:37 ( panting )
39:39 ( doorbell rings )
40:04 Right, I've had enough excitement for one day.
40:06 I'm gonna head for the heels. You come in.
40:08 I think I might just stay on a bit and run over a few figures.
40:12 Are you worried about this?
40:14 We can't just ignore it, can we?
40:16 Mm, well, I'm worried about Gabby.
40:18 She's been through a lot, and I'd hate her to rush into something and then regret it.
40:22 Actually, maybe I'll have a word with Bernice, see if she can talk some sense into her.
40:26 No, no, please, don't do that.
40:28 It's not every day that you get an opportunity like this.
40:33 What opportunity?
40:34 The chance to buy my old business back.
40:37 Well, that was a marathon. He's asleep, finally.
40:43 Good, so you're free for a little chat, then.
40:46 About what?
40:49 Shall we?
40:50 Well, Kim, if you've got something to say, then...
40:53 Aren't you the one with the big announcement?
40:55 Or did you think I wouldn't be interested in Hott being up for sale?
41:01 Who told you?
41:02 It doesn't matter who told me.
41:04 What matters is you thinking you could sell without consulting me.
41:08 Well, it's not yours anymore, Kim.
41:10 I built that business up from nothing.
41:12 I'm not just going to let you off it to the first chancer who comes along.
41:16 Well, how else can I get away from this place?
41:19 What?
41:20 You heard. Me and Thomas.
41:22 We're leaving.
41:24 I don't want to be here any more.
41:27 And you think that's going to miraculously wash away all your problems?
41:31 Well, think again!
41:33 Oh, needs another wash. You missed a bit.
41:56 Strictly speaking, I shouldn't even be doing this with these injuries.
42:00 Don't go playing the sympathy card.
42:02 I'm obviously not getting any from you, am I?
42:05 Here.
42:08 This is almost starting to feel like a partnership.
42:12 - You reckon? - Yeah.
42:14 I get in trouble, you turn up, you bail me out.
42:17 Like Batman and Robin.
42:19 Or like the Chuckle Brothers.
42:24 Seriously, though, I reckon we work well together.
42:27 We make a good team.
42:29 Look, I'm only going to ask you once more.
42:33 Is there nothing that I can do to persuade you?
42:37 At some point, maybe.
42:39 Yeah, I could see us working together.
42:42 - Never say never. - OK.
42:45 So have you got any advice for me now I'm officially part of a family?
42:52 If you're honest with us, we'll have you back.
42:55 - (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Lydia?
42:59 I'm coming down now.
43:02 What you been doing? You've been in here ages.
43:04 Sorry, I've just been getting dried.
43:06 I was just waiting to have us tea.
43:08 I'll be down in a sec.
