00:30What's he doing here?
00:38Ask your dad.
00:39I'm asking you.
00:40I didn't have any choice, alright? He'd had a skinful.
00:45So you invite them over for a sleepover?
00:47He was drunk. And he was upset. I didn't know what else to do.
00:50Have you gone absolutely mental?
00:51Morning.
00:52Is it?
00:53Yes, it is.
00:54I've just come and got the last of my stuff.
01:06Freshly laundered and neatly folded.
01:08Thanks.
01:09Maybe we could go and get a coffee?
01:14I'm busy. I've stuck the kettle on here.
01:16I've not got time.
01:17Oh, Nicky, please, there's some things I really want to talk to you about.
01:19It wouldn't hurt to spare a few minutes for your mum.
01:23If there's one thing I've learned, it's to make time for family.
01:26The opportunity might not always be there.
01:31Yeah, I, um... I suppose I could spare a few minutes.
01:38Proper action, man. You, eh?
01:40Shouldn't you be doing a few of those?
01:43And get yourself some guns?
01:45Strange one, you.
01:47Always scurrying around, hoping nobody notices you.
01:50Half always in and out of here.
01:52Something weird about you.
01:55And you're not wrecking action, man, eh?
01:57Bit sus, this one.
02:03Well, the conversation's riveting in here, eh?
02:05Did you want something?
02:07Yeah, just chatting.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Well, I don't think anyone's interested.
02:13Not me, anyway.
02:15Is that right?
02:17Off you pop, then.
02:19What's her story with him, anyway?
02:21I won't tell you again.
02:35They've confirmed she had a heart attack.
02:37Poor Laurel.
02:38She had an angioplasty to widen the artery.
02:40Went well, apparently.
02:41Good to hear. You been to visit?
02:43I've got nobody to cover here,
02:45but I'm going to go down as soon as we close up.
02:47Give her all love, won't you?
02:49You take it for granted, your health,
02:51and then something like this comes out of the blue.
02:53No more than most.
02:55We're not getting any younger, that's for sure.
02:57Speak for yourself.
02:58No, I mean, it just makes you think, that's all.
03:06Look, it wasn't my idea to bring Charles back to ours.
03:10Nobody said it was.
03:11Nicky, please, can we not just try and put all this behind us?
03:15Just like that, you could have killed Ethan.
03:18I didn't, though. He died of natural causes.
03:21So that makes it OK.
03:25I was angry.
03:27But only because of how much I love you,
03:30and because of how close I nearly came to losing you because of Ethan.
03:35It was stupid, I know.
03:37And no, that doesn't make it OK.
03:39But our family shouldn't be torn apart because of something I did,
03:43because I love you so much.
03:45Nicky, please come home.
03:48I'm happy where I am.
03:51I'm enjoying spending more time with Sonny.
03:54Andy needs me there at the minute while Laurel's in hospital.
03:58No, it doesn't have to be right away.
04:01And I promise I won't intervene
04:03if you want to knock your dad into shape again.
04:05I might even weigh him myself.
04:08How about you and Sonny come round for dinner sometime as a starting point?
04:12Maybe.
04:13In fact, why don't we ask him to join us now?
04:15We could take his mind off it.
04:17You know how much he loves me.
04:19If you say so.
04:21Give him a call.
04:23Last time I woke up on someone's sofa, I was barely out of my teens.
04:28A bit too old for this.
04:30The worst place you could wake up in.
04:32Not sure it's become any more vicar, though.
04:34Like you channeling your mum now?
04:39Well, don't worry.
04:41See you get safe with me.
04:42Thanks.
04:44And thanks for last night.
04:47For everything, really.
04:50Your kindness has helped a lot.
04:52And Ruby's.
04:54I'm just glad that we've been able to move on after Ethan and Nicky's crash.
04:59Yeah, me too.
05:01Oh.
05:02Oh.
05:03I'm sorry.
05:04That's fine.
05:05No, it really isn't.
05:06Relax, mate. That rug's on its way out anyway.
05:08Let me clean it.
05:09No, don't worry about it.
05:10I insist.
05:11I insist.
05:31Don't mean to be rude, mate, but I've got to shoot off soon.
05:34I've got a meeting in Hotton.
05:36Ruby needs a car later, so I'm off to book a taxi.
05:38I'll give you a lift.
05:39No, no, it's fine.
05:41I can sort myself out. You don't need to do that.
05:43It's the least I could do.
05:44Well, I'm not sure you're in a fit state to drive, are you?
05:47I've been asleep for hours.
05:49And how are you for last night?
05:52And this?
05:53I said don't worry about that.
05:55Seriously?
05:58Let me repay the favour.
06:03So what happened between you two?
06:05Before she fell?
06:08Nothing.
06:10Well, something was up yesterday, I could tell.
06:15We argued, all right?
06:16It was nothing, just a little disagreement.
06:21Oh.
06:22There she is.
06:25Hey.
06:26How are you feeling?
06:27OK.
06:30Just a bit sore.
06:32Yeah, you need to rest up.
06:34Best excuse ever to be waiting on hand and foot, right?
06:37And I'm more than happy to oblige.
06:39Where are the kids?
06:40Sonny got them off to school.
06:42He messaged earlier. Everyone's fine.
06:45No, you need to just think about yourself.
06:47Nicola's been texting me non-stop.
06:49The whole village is asking after you.
06:52That's lovely.
06:54No, you need to take it easy, Laurel.
06:58Yeah, I will.
06:59And I'll be at your beck and call.
07:01Anything you need, I'm there.
07:04And I mean anything.
07:05I'm going to get you better and get you home.
07:13Where have you been?
07:14I've been worried sick.
07:15Had your phone stopped working?
07:17Oh, I'm sorry.
07:18I should have let you know I wasn't coming home.
07:20Is everything all right?
07:21Yeah, absolutely fine.
07:22Just something's come up.
07:24Something more important than a parishioner collapsing in your church yesterday?
07:27You should be at the hospital visiting.
07:29You're right, I've just got to deal with this first.
07:32But...
07:33I won't be long!
07:34I won't be long!
07:39Look at this.
07:40My two favourite boys.
07:43I'm hoping you might help me persuade this one to be a little less grumpy with me.
07:46I'll do my best.
07:49Are you OK?
07:50I know you've got a lot going on.
07:52Yeah, I just feel like I should be doing more than sitting around drinking coffee.
07:57Well, unless you've become a cardiac consultant overnight,
07:59it sounds like you're doing everything you can.
08:01I quite like the idea of you in surgical scrubs.
08:06I'm sure Jay appreciates everything you're doing for him.
08:09I was just saying, before you arrived, to Nicky, how nothing should come before family.
08:15I won't argue with that.
08:17This just feels like a chance to show Jay how much it means to me that we're brothers.
08:22I really want to be there for him.
08:23I'm sure he knows that already.
08:26Now, how about you both come round for dinner tonight?
08:30I might have the kids.
08:31Bring them.
08:32And Jay, if he's back from the hospital, the more the merrier.
08:36Please, Nicky.
08:38He'll be there.
08:45This song came out after Ethan was born.
08:50I see.
08:51Are we taking a shortcut coming this way?
08:57I just need a minute.
09:01I'm sorry.
09:13Are you alright?
09:14A bit overwhelmed.
09:16You mean the song?
09:18Listen, I can make my own way into Horton.
09:21Give you a bit of space, you know.
09:23I'd prefer if you stayed.
09:25Yeah, of course.
09:27It's no problem.
09:29I'm sorry, Caleb.
09:32I shouldn't be putting all this on you, man.
09:40Here you go.
09:45It's not the end of the world, you know.
09:47That's easy for you to say.
09:49You're not the beauticians that have completed what?
09:51There are two. Two appointments of the entire day.
09:53I've had to send Amelia home.
09:54I can't cope with the endless small talk.
09:57Things will pick up.
09:58They always do.
09:59I'm glad you're so confident.
10:00I'm always confident in you.
10:03Right, why don't I cheer you up by taking you to the cafe for something to eat later?
10:07I suppose.
10:08You can have whatever you want.
10:09Just don't say I'm not good to you.
10:12You're always good to me.
10:14I know I'm the luckiest woman alive.
10:17Maybe we can do a little bit of wedding planning.
10:21There's no rush for that, is there?
10:23Is there not?
10:24We haven't even set a date.
10:25Well, exactly, we can do that.
10:26Okay.
10:28You don't seem very excited.
10:29Of course I'm excited.
10:30But?
10:31But there's no buts, Paddy.
10:32All right, then.
10:33Well, let's meet later and do a little bit of wedding planning then.
10:39He was such a good boy.
10:42I know he wasn't perfect with that stuff with Nicky.
10:45No.
10:46That's all in the past now.
10:47But he had morals and principles.
10:50Even when he was a kid.
10:53I was so proud when he got accepted into law school.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Yeah, I bet you were.
10:59Now he's gone.
11:02And I just keep trying to make sense of it.
11:05Even though I can't.
11:06I think you need to focus on the good memories.
11:10Easy as that.
11:11No.
11:12No, of course not.
11:15I reckon it'll get easier given time.
11:18I'm not so sure about that.
11:20I just can't believe that they dropped a hit and run investigation like that.
11:26Have you spoken to Claude yet about any of this?
11:29My mum's great.
11:32But it feels easier talking to you.
11:35She's grieving herself.
11:51MUSIC FADES
12:14I'm sorry.
12:15I'm sorry.
12:16Can we not do this now?
12:17Because I'm just trying to get my head around the fact
12:19that I nearly died yesterday.
12:24It's my fault. That's all I wanted to say.
12:30I blame myself for getting you all wound up like that.
12:32And I really am sorry.
12:37I'll make it up to you, I promise.
12:39You're going to make it up to Sonny?
12:46You haven't told him, have you?
12:50I haven't had a chance.
12:51Haven't had the chance or haven't got the courage?
12:54When was I supposed to tell him with all this going on?
12:57You had lots of opportunities before.
13:00I'll tell him.
13:02I promise.
13:03Bill, you said that yesterday.
13:05And I'm starting to think that, um...
13:08You know, your promises just don't really mean anything, do they?
13:11I'll do it, I swear.
13:12When?
13:15As soon as I get a chance.
13:16Today.
13:19Stop wasting time.
13:22Find Sonny J and tell him the truth.
13:31If you could, Brenda, I really need
13:33to get down to the hospital.
13:34Try and be back a bit sooner, please.
13:36Thanks.
13:43What's the matter?
13:44Nothing.
13:45You just seem to be a bit evasive
13:47about setting a date for the wedding.
13:49I wasn't being evasive.
13:51No.
13:53You were oddly enthusiastic, either, though, were you?
13:55You just took me by surprise, that's all.
13:57Right.
13:58But we do have to set a date for the wedding.
14:00Yes, I know.
14:02We're not in any bad rush, though, are we?
14:04No.
14:05Well, no.
14:07Mandy.
14:09You do still want to get married, don't you?
14:11Are you crazy?
14:13Of course I do.
14:14I want nothing more in the whole wide world,
14:16but I just want to enjoy being engaged for a bit, you know?
14:20Be present.
14:21Stay in the moment.
14:24Oh, look at you two lovebirds,
14:26sneaking out for a romantic rendezvous.
14:29Join us, if you like.
14:30Oh, no, no.
14:31I wouldn't dream of interrupting.
14:32Actually, I've just come for some take-outs.
14:33Me and Ron are going for a walk, you know.
14:36Make the most of being child-free.
14:38Going for a walk?
14:39They're hardly making the most of being child-free.
14:41Each to their own.
14:42Each to their own.
14:43To their house.
14:45She's right, though, wouldn't she?
14:47Should you not be both letting your hair down,
14:48being butt-loose and fancy-free?
14:50Why don't we do something together?
14:52Something couple-y.
14:54Sounds a bit wrong, that.
14:57I just mean play some games, have a few drinks.
14:59It'd be great.
15:00It's been ages since we've done something together.
15:02Yeah, because it ended really well last time, didn't it?
15:05Oh, you mean the dinner party of doom.
15:08Well, then, let's rectify that.
15:10Come round two hours later.
15:11About six-ish.
15:12Yeah, all right.
15:13Why not?
15:14Yeah, thanks.
15:23Listen, I really need to start getting back.
15:28I think you need to speak to someone.
15:30Like a professional, maybe.
15:31Talk all this stuff through properly.
15:33The only person I really need to talk to right now is you.
15:37I need to know what happened the day Ethan got knocked down.
15:40Oh.
15:41Well, I'm not following you.
15:43You know what I'm talking about.
15:46Look, you're upset.
15:48Yeah, and you're grieving.
15:49And you had quite a bit to drink last night.
15:51Don't patronise me, man.
15:52Nobody's patronising anybody.
15:57I'm going.
15:58You're not going nowhere.
15:59I'm not doing you any favours, humouring this behaviour.
16:02You need to get some proper help.
16:03What?
16:04Listen, Charles, you've just lost your son.
16:08I'd be all over the place as well,
16:09feeling exactly the same as you are.
16:10I'm not messing around.
16:12Just take it easy, all right?
16:15An invoice from the garage.
16:18I found it in your kitchen.
16:21Dated the day after Ethan was run over.
16:30What have you got to say about that?
16:31I don't know.
16:33Where have you been?
16:36Nowhere.
16:37You see, the answer to that should have been
16:40none of your business.
16:43Where have you been, though?
16:44None of your business.
16:46That's better.
16:48Just say it like you mean it next time.
16:52So, are you on some kind of medication?
16:56That's a real question, by the way.
16:58Look, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to.
17:01But a little bit of advice.
17:04That lad earlier, he was right.
17:08People will keep asking questions
17:09if you're disappearing with the staff all the time.
17:13Now, you can tell them to butt out if you want,
17:15but if you're on methadone or something,
17:19it'd be easier if you'd just come out with it.
17:23It's not that simple.
17:24It's not that simple.
17:26Yeah, well, that's up to you.
17:29I'm only trying to help you.
17:42Oh, Sonny.
17:43Hey.
17:44Thought I'd squeeze a quick visit in
17:46before I pick the kids up from school.
17:48Oh, that's really thoughtful of you.
17:50Thank you so much for helping out.
17:52Oh, of course.
17:52We're family.
17:54Times like this, everyone's got to pull together.
17:56I'm guessing you haven't spoken to Jay.
17:58About what?
18:01Is everything OK?
18:04So, it turns out that a leper
18:05doesn't really ever change his spots.
18:09I was going to tell him.
18:10No, you weren't.
18:11Tell me what?
18:13I'm sorry, Sonny.
18:14About what?
18:15Tell him.
18:16Tell him now.
18:18Oh, you are so spineless and weird.
18:21You are so spineless and weak that I'll do it.
18:26I'm really sorry, Sonny, to have to tell you this,
18:29but I've only just found this out myself recently,
18:31but...
18:34Turns out,
18:36Jay lied.
18:39Your dad did kill Rishi.
18:44I'm sorry, I tried to...
18:45No.
18:47And then Jay used the information
18:49to blackmail him into leaving,
18:50and then he made him sign over all of his shares in hot.
18:56People are going to start asking questions.
18:58About why the guards come round all the time.
19:01They already are.
19:08Look,
19:12what is it you're hiding, anyway?
19:14Nothing.
19:17Suit yourself.
19:19Anyway, I already told you,
19:23none of your business.
19:30You're all right, you.
19:34I'm not trying to be difficult, it's just,
19:37it's a bit personal.
19:39Listen, whatever it is,
19:42it'll most likely come out anyway.
19:45Or people will come up with their own ideas.
19:48And that could be worse.
19:54I cannot trust you.
19:58You, um, you swear you won't tell anyone?
20:02Well, that depends what it is.
20:05But I ain't about to go around gossiping without life,
20:07that's what you're asking.
20:11The thing is, um,
20:15before I say this, um,
20:19just, just know that I am a normal guy like you, yeah?
20:25But, um,
20:28the medication that I take
20:31is, uh, testosterone.
20:35So I'm transgender.
20:49Was it you that knocked Ethan down?
20:51No.
20:51Then why did your car need body repairs the day after?
20:53I don't know what you think this is!
20:55You're lying, that's what it is!
20:58You're protecting someone else.
21:01You have no idea what this is like for me, do you?
21:02Look, you're right.
21:03I don't.
21:04I just want the truth.
21:05None of this is helping anyone.
21:07And none of this is gonna bring Ethan back.
21:09It's not about bringing him back, can't you see that?
21:12It's about knowing that I've done everything possible
21:14to get justice for my son.
21:15You need to let it go.
21:16I can't move on until I know exactly what happened.
21:18This isn't a coincidence.
21:19The coroner said that the accident
21:20had nothing to do with Ethan's death anyway.
21:22He died of natural causes.
21:24I don't care what the coroner said!
21:28I know.
21:31You were involved in the hit and run.
21:35So tell me what you know, Caleb.
21:39Or I'm going straight to the police.
21:44Okay, you're right.
21:46It was me. I was the one who ran Ethan over.
22:03I'm sorry.
22:06I really am.
22:09Sorry?
22:12Is that the best you've got?
22:13There's nothing that I can say about it.
22:15Nothing that I can say or do that will change Ethan.
22:19I know that.
22:21You've been lying to me this whole time.
22:24Your wife brought us food and sympathy when Ethan died.
22:30And all this time, she knew you were responsible.
22:33No, Ruby knows nothing about this.
22:35That was genuine sympathy.
22:37I slept under your roof last night, man.
22:39What else was I supposed to do?
22:41You was in a state.
22:42I couldn't kick you out on the street, could I?
22:44So you played the good Samaritan instead?
22:50I don't know what else to say.
22:55You can tell me exactly what happened.
23:03I was angry.
23:06Ethan had put Nicky in hospital.
23:09We didn't know if he was gonna live or die.
23:12So I wanted to hurt him.
23:14So you hit him?
23:18And you drove away?
23:20I wasn't thinking straight, was I?
23:22Just the same as you're not thinking straight now.
23:27You didn't care who you mean.
23:31You didn't even get out of the car.
23:34The human being just lying there.
23:36And you drove off.
23:40He could have been dead.
23:42Well, at least I wasn't blind drunk, eh?
23:44This isn't about Ethan.
23:46It's about you.
23:48In fact, save your breath.
23:52You can tell it to the police.
23:53Oh, no.
23:55No, I won't be saying anything to the police.
23:58What?
23:59Ethan's gone.
24:01And it wasn't the accident that killed him.
24:03Everyone knows that.
24:05He's gone.
24:06And nothing's bringing him back.
24:09Besides,
24:11I've got an alibi for that morning.
24:14And it's a watertight one.
24:16You're gonna lie to the police?
24:19After you've just admitted it to me?
24:21I'd be angry as well if I was you.
24:22Trust me.
24:24This is more than anger.
24:25If the police come knocking at my door,
24:28I would be denied it.
24:28This conversation never happened.
24:29The difference is, I've got the evidence.
24:33Ethan didn't report it.
24:34He didn't even go to the hospital.
24:37And my car being repaired, it doesn't mean anything.
24:39You'd be wasting your time.
24:46Let me make this up to you, please.
24:51You and my dad,
24:53you're the same.
24:55You poison everything you go near.
24:58Even Laurel is suffering now because of you.
25:01Sonny, listen.
25:02I'm done listening.
25:03Look, all of this with Laurel,
25:05it's made me realise how stupid I've been.
25:08Okay, it's made me realise
25:10how much I need to change.
25:11Not with her, with you, with everything.
25:15I actually thought I had a brother.
25:18A real family and a place to call home.
25:22Yet you've been lying and cheating me for months.
25:26Meanwhile, I've been running around
25:27looking after your kids
25:29and worrying about your sick wife,
25:31who, by the way, deserves so much better than you.
25:34I will never, ever lie to you again.
25:39Okay?
25:40What I did was out of order, okay?
25:41But we are brothers and I want to make it right.
25:47We can find a way through this.
25:52No, we can't.
25:54I hope you enjoy your shares.
25:57I'm done with you.
26:01This isn't you, Charles.
26:02People like you think you can do whatever you want.
26:05You ruin people's lives if you're lying and you cheat.
26:08You think you can get away with the consequences?
26:09Just calm down, will you?
26:10You sat there and lied to me!
26:12How was I supposed to tell you?
26:14How many people have you hurt?
26:15Right, listen to me, Charles.
26:17Ethan dying had nothing to do with that car accident.
26:21It was, it was an act of God.
26:23You should know that better than anyone.
26:24Don't even think about bringing God into this.
26:26It's the truth, you need to think about it.
26:29If this was one of your parishioners,
26:30what would you be telling them right now?
26:33You'd be telling them that they need to accept it.
26:37They need to accept it and try and move on.
26:40Come on.
26:41You know that you would.
26:52Now, sometimes things happen and it doesn't make any sense.
26:57Whether it's God or fate or karma, whatever it is.
27:03Come on, Charles.
27:07Ethan wouldn't want you eating yourself up like this.
27:09Don't even say his name.
27:11His name's too good to come out of your mouth.
27:16He was my son.
27:17I'm so sorry.
27:21But he's gone.
27:26Here.
27:28Have it.
27:33In the future, you stay away from me and my family.
27:36Do you understand me?
27:41Maybe one day you'll find out what it's like to lose a child.
27:53You know, Ethan,
27:56it's mad to think that you used to be a woman.
27:59Well, I was always a man, really, deep down.
28:03And this testosterone, you need to take it every day?
28:08Yeah.
28:11It's just a gel.
28:12There's no injections, tablets, or anything.
28:17Wow.
28:18And that's all you need?
28:22Yeah, pretty much.
28:24So, did you always think you were a man?
28:28Always knew, yeah, from when I was a kid.
28:32Sorry, I wasn't trying to be smart.
28:34No, you're fine.
28:38It's not ideal, though, is it?
28:39Really, being in a place like this.
28:41I mean, wouldn't you better be in a woman's prison?
28:43Would've been easier, wouldn't it?
28:47To be honest, I think this is the only time
28:49I don't want to be a man.
28:52But I am one, so, where else am I gonna go?
28:57Yeah, well, I reckon there's a few in here
28:59that'd use that against you.
29:02One way or another.
29:03Not you, though.
29:06Listen, mate, I've been in these places enough times
29:10and the policy's the same.
29:13Mind my own business and get it done.
29:17Whatever people do, say, or are,
29:20it's nothing to do with me.
29:22Unless they make it something to do with me.
29:26You're right to be cagey, though.
29:29But as far as I'm concerned, none of my business.
29:34Thanks.
29:36You just mind how you go, though.
29:39Because there's plenty of others
29:40that will take a different point of view.
29:42Is Laura OK?
29:43She's fine.
29:45Well, apart from being married to one of the lowest,
29:47most toxic human beings to ever walk this planet.
29:50My so-called brother.
29:51What's he done?
29:52Taken me for a complete nut and mug, that's what.
29:55Darren, I sat in that cafe earlier,
29:57agreeing with your mum about how important family is,
30:01when he's been lying and cheating me for months.
30:03Wait, you're gonna have to slow down.
30:05What's happened?
30:12My dad killed Uncle Rish and Jay found out.
30:17And instead of telling me or going to the police,
30:20he blackmailed dad into handing over his shares in Hop
30:24before forcing him to leave.
30:26What?
30:28He didn't even come clean.
30:30Laurel told me.
30:33He's a snake and I never want to see him again.
30:39In fact, I can't stay here for another minute.
30:42I'm packing my things and I'm leaving.
30:44But where?
30:45I don't know.
30:47I just need to get as far away from this place as possible.
30:52Will you come with me?
30:55Look, Nicky.
30:56It's just...
30:57Look, I know it's a lot to spring on you, it's just,
31:00you were the one that's been wanting to leave for ages.
31:02I know that.
31:03So what's changed?
31:04It's me mum.
31:05She's really trying and I can't just leave.
31:09And yet it never ceases to trouble me.
31:11I did not think it.
31:12The wanderer returns.
31:13We're not allowed by...
31:15It doesn't date.
31:19Did you go and visit Laurel?
31:20Not yet.
31:23I'll go tomorrow.
31:25Don't worry, I'll stop asking questions now.
31:28That would be nice.
31:31You must be tired after all your drinking
31:33and gallivanting these past couple of days.
31:36A bit.
31:38And hungry too?
31:41I could eat.
31:44How about I go and make you something?
31:47That would be lovely, thanks.
31:55All of this will get easier.
31:58Maybe not completely better,
31:59and maybe not anytime soon,
32:02but it will get easier.
32:04You know that, don't you?
32:07We'll get through this together.
32:12I spend all my time
32:15telling people to
32:18accept God's will.
32:25Maybe I need to follow my own advice.
32:29I think we both do.
32:42Right, so any paperwork from that day,
32:44make sure it's all gone.
32:45Talking absolutely everything.
32:48Wait, won't come to that,
32:49but just get rid of it all anyway.
32:51I'll speak to you later.
32:55I just had a run-in with Charles.
32:57What kind of a run-in?
32:58He saw the repair slip for the car.
33:01He realised that it was the day after Ethan got knocked over
33:04and he's put two and two together.
33:06And?
33:08I told him it was me that was driving.
33:11What?
33:11He wouldn't let it lie.
33:12He was all over the place.
33:15I'll take it your mate's gone.
33:16He knows
33:18that it was our car that hit Ethan.
33:20I told him it was me that was driving to protect your mum.
33:23Oh, aren't you Mr. Chivalrous?
33:24Nicky, what?
33:25Listen, right?
33:27If you go to the police,
33:28we need to make sure that all our stories are straight.
33:30Are you asking me to lie for you again?
33:31Not for me.
33:33It's for your mum.
33:34Actually, do you know what?
33:35It's for all of us.
33:36You really don't change, do you?
33:37This is just a big game to you, isn't it?
33:39This isn't down to me.
33:40We need to pull together right now.
33:42I'll tell you what, I am done with all this mess.
33:44No, no, Nicky, wait.
33:45Hang on.
33:46Let me talk to him.
33:49At least let me try and explain.
33:50I've had enough of your explanations
33:52to last a lifetime.
33:54I don't want to hear it.
33:55I'm trying to protect your mum here.
33:56She wouldn't need protecting
33:58if she didn't run someone over.
33:59What?
34:00What, you think we don't know that?
34:01Look, all I want to do is clear this mess up,
34:03so just hear me out.
34:04I've done enough listening, to you especially.
34:08I'm not getting involved in any more of your lies.
34:09Oh, come on, Nicky.
34:10This isn't my fault and you know it.
34:11Your mum, she made a mistake
34:13and we need to stick together till it's all sorted.
34:15Nah, I've had enough of sticking together with you.
34:18Let's go.
34:34Oh, it's Jimmy.
34:35He's had to pick up Archie and Dotty.
34:37Sonny couldn't do it for some reason.
34:38Well, let's keep all of that away from Laurel.
34:40Let her relax properly without worrying.
34:42Yeah, definitely.
34:44You know, I keep thinking about what could've happened
34:47Oh, no, don't do that to yourself.
34:49I should have noticed how stressed out she's been.
34:52Hey, Gabby, this isn't your fault.
34:55No, don't. You'll get me started.
34:58You know, I...
35:00I keep thinking about my dad.
35:04I can't go through that again.
35:07You don't think about how much someone means to you
35:09until you see them like that.
35:11Come here.
35:13You know, I couldn't go without Laurel.
35:17She's going to be all right, isn't she?
35:19Yeah, the doctors have said she's responding well to treatment.
35:23She just needs to see this as a warning and slow down a bit.
35:27What if it happens again?
35:29She's got us. And we'll get her through this.
35:32And this is a chance for Jay to really start pulling his weight between us.
35:36We'll make sure she's OK.
35:38Come on.
35:40Found him.
35:41Found him!
35:42Hmm.
35:46Batgamen?
35:47Don't tell me you've never heard of Batgamen.
35:49I don't play games with meeting a title. It's one of my life rules.
35:52Can't we do something a bit more fun?
35:54Like what?
35:55Hmm, Twister, maybe?
35:57I've played Twister!
35:59Number Goggle? What's that going to be about?
36:02Well, it's like a dice game.
36:04Sounds great. I bet Rona's going to love it.
36:07What do you mean by that?
36:08She's not exactly the most exciting of people, is she?
36:11Rona's absolutely lovely.
36:13I didn't say she wasn't lovely.
36:14But exciting and lovely are two very different things, Paddy.
36:17SNORING
36:23Sorry, I would have got here sooner, but I couldn't leave work.
36:26Oh, well, you're here now. That's what matters.
36:29How are you feeling?
36:31Well...
36:32Nicola, I am going to live.
36:34You're flimming better.
36:35Where's Jay?
36:36Um, he's gone.
36:38Sounds ominous.
36:39No, no, he had something to take care of, so...
36:41What, more important than being here with you?
36:43Oh, Gabby, you know what he's like.
36:45Is everything OK?
36:46Yeah. Fine.
36:49Do you fancy going and grabbing us a couple of coffees?
36:52Yeah, sure.
36:57What's going on, Lauren?
36:59Well, do you want the honest answer?
37:03I don't think I can do this any more.
37:05Do what any more?
37:06Be married to one of the most corrupt, dishonest, cowardly people
37:11I have ever had the misfortune to meet.
37:17Ugh, this game's stupid.
37:20Dyson! Captain! Seriously!
37:22Well, maybe if you just concentrated a little bit more
37:25and drank a little bit less.
37:27Yeah, but we're just at Games Night. I wasn't expecting this.
37:30Well, what did you expect?
37:32A bit more fun, maybe?
37:37Ooh!
37:39Come and join me for a French martini.
37:42Ooh! Fancy that answer?
37:44We're in the middle of a game.
37:45We're in the middle of a game.
37:47Are you taking the mickey?
37:48Oh, no!
37:51Loosen up a bit.
37:52I'm perfectly loose, thank you very much.
37:55No, you're not, though, are you?
37:56I beg your pardon?
37:57Mandé.
38:00What?
38:01I'm just saying, I mean, you know...
38:03I honestly feel like I'm living in an old people's home.
38:08Maybe we should just call it a night.
38:09Can we just finish the game?
38:10I'm not sure I want to now.
38:11Oh, come on, Rona.
38:12I didn't mean anything by it.
38:14Come on.
38:16Have a French martini.
38:29You sure about leaving?
38:30Absolutely.
38:32100%.
38:34I just...
38:35I don't want to feel like I'm dragging you away from your mum.
38:37Pal, you're right.
38:38We need to do this.
38:40I just want to speak to Charles before we go.
38:43I'll grab some snacks on the journey.
39:03Can I come in?
39:06It's OK with you, or rather you didn't.
39:10I just wanted to talk.
39:12Before I go.
39:14You're leaving?
39:16Yeah.
39:18For good?
39:21That's the plan.
39:22To go where?
39:24I'm not sure yet.
39:26Travelling somewhere.
39:28Anywhere.
39:29Anywhere.
39:32I just want to say that I'm sorry.
39:35About everything.
39:37Did you know all along?
39:39About your dad?
39:45It's probably a wise move that you leave.
39:49I'd do the same thing if I was in your position.
39:54I am really sorry.
39:57About Ethan.
40:00And everything.
40:01You were his friend.
40:04I know how much he cared about you.
40:08I hope you can find some kind of happiness.
40:12I do too.
40:15Good luck.
40:22No wonder you had a heart attack.
40:24I think I just need a whole lifestyle change.
40:27Good start with a husband transplant.
40:31I just keep thinking about the kids.
40:33You've got to do what's right for yourself too, Laurel.
40:36Yeah, I know, I know.
40:37But it's a big decision, isn't it?
40:41Oh, why don't I give you two a little bit of space?
40:43No!
40:44No, I want you to stay.
40:46I want you to hear what I've got to say.
40:49Talk in front of Nicola.
40:54I...
40:55I...
40:57I tried to talk to Sonny.
40:59He wouldn't listen.
41:00Are you surprised by that?
41:02Laurel, I...
41:03Do you know what?
41:05Leave it. Not interested.
41:06I made a mistake.
41:08One in a very long line.
41:11I just want to put all of this behind us.
41:14All right?
41:15Focus on helping you get through this.
41:18I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
41:21I've heard it a million times before.
41:23I'm here for you.
41:25I've seen it this time.
41:27We're done.
41:28No, no, no, Laurel.
41:30Look, one more chance.
41:33That's all I'm asking for.
41:37Not for me, for the kids.
41:40Laurel, please.
41:41No, no.
41:42I tell you, I'm sorry.
41:43There's not anything you can say or do
41:45that's going to make me change my mind.
41:47I don't want to be with you anymore.
41:49You and me, it's over.
41:56Are you going somewhere?
41:58I was going to call you from the car.
42:01I just thought it'd be easier.
42:03You were going to call me from the car about what?
42:08We're leaving.
42:11I'm sorry, Mum.
42:12It's not been an easy decision, but we're going.
42:15Go where?
42:16I'm not sure yet.
42:18Travelling somewhere.
42:19Seriously?
42:21You can't just leave.
42:22Seriously?
42:24You can't just leave.
42:25We need a fresh start.
42:27Both of us.
42:29Away from here and away from my dad, especially.
42:32Oh, Nicky, no.
42:34They're leaving.
42:36What?
42:38Where are you going?
42:39None of your business.
42:40Nicky.
42:41What?
42:42I'm not interested in anything he has to say.
42:43Can we just at least talk about this?
42:45We've talked enough.
42:48I'm sorry, Mum.
42:52You...
42:53You take care, alright?
42:59Both of you.
43:00You'd better take care of him.
43:02I will.
43:03I promise.
43:06I love you.
43:11Nicky, please don't do this.
43:14Look, we can sort it out.
43:22We can sort it out.
43:53Just keeps getting bigger.
43:54Douglas is cancelled.
43:55Continues at nine.
43:57After some foodie inspiration from Tom Kerridge.
44:00On the way next.
