00:00And how are we feeling?
00:07Guessing I know the answer.
00:08I drowned in my sorrows, wasn't I?
00:11All the way to the final and England lose.
00:13Yeah, well, feels quite good to be Scottish at the moment.
00:17Or it would do.
00:19Precious little else to feel positive about right now.
00:21Yeah, I know, look, maybe you've done enough.
00:25Maybe Lydia's persuaded Samson to tell the truth.
00:28It's all I can hope for.
00:40Is that all you're taking?
00:42You said travel light.
00:44Yeah, probably best.
00:46Right, yeah, you're booked on the ferry.
00:48Aunt Lilith will meet you at the other end.
00:50I've got a few things I need to pick up for you first.
00:52Like what?
00:54Well, you're gonna need money.
00:57My wedding ring from when I married your mum should be worth a few quid.
00:59So I'm gonna see if I can get it pawned.
01:01You don't need to do that.
01:03Yeah, well, you did it once before, didn't you?
01:05Yeah, and I wish I hadn't.
01:07Right now, we're in a corner.
01:09Hopefully something will come up and we can buy it back.
01:11Again.
01:13I hate that it's got this far.
01:15Yeah, well, maybe you should have thought about that before.
01:17Never mind.
01:19Right, er, when I'm done,
01:21I'll text you and you can meet us in that lay-by.
01:23I don't want anyone seeing us leaving the village together.
01:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:27What's done is done.
01:29Yeah, and if I could go back and change it all...
01:31Yeah, well, you can't.
01:33And I've got a lookout for you.
01:35So you're going away where no-one can find you.
01:37Right?
01:39What the hell's going on?
01:45Ah!
01:47All set, Mr Teacher.
01:49Yeah, apparently today we are doing the Normans.
01:51And how are you on the Normans?
01:54In 1066, a geezer got shot in the eye
01:56and he wasn't called Norman.
01:58After that, clueless.
02:00Anyway,
02:02those kids won't homeschool themselves.
02:04Er, just before you go,
02:06Kim's told me.
02:08About?
02:10About someone's fairly devastating screw-up, what do you think?
02:12And I'll tell you what, I am not happy
02:14about lying to Dawn.
02:16I'm even less happy that my missus is taking all the stick for it.
02:18Yeah, I get it.
02:20I'm sorry.
02:22You didn't ask me to step in.
02:24Although I am grateful.
02:26So you're on board?
02:28I've been persuaded that it's necessary.
02:30But I'll tell you what,
02:32in future, do not do stupid stuff, okay?
02:34Of course.
02:36Go on then, off you go.
02:38Class is waiting.
02:44That was good of you.
02:46What, tearing a strip off Billy?
02:48Supporting the missus.
02:50Supporting me.
02:52Eventually.
02:54Yeah, I regret how hard I've been on you.
02:56Till they put me six foot under.
02:58I know.
03:02Um, you got a rash or something?
03:04Why?
03:06Why? You keep scratching.
03:08I noticed it last night.
03:10Dog fleas. Comes with the job.
03:12I have never found you more attractive.
03:14It's just dry skin. It's fine, I'll buy some cream.
03:16I've got some stuff that's really good.
03:19Maybe I'll pop over and see you then.
03:21Hey,
03:23are you ready to get going?
03:25Only apparently you're not responding to texts
03:27and there's a herd of cows that need screening.
03:29Sorry, lost track of time.
03:31That'll be a night out to blow.
03:33That was two days ago.
03:35You had a night out?
03:37Oh yeah, big hangover.
03:39Arriving home at some point the next day.
03:41Oh, nice one.
03:43Life in the old girl yet, eh?
03:49I can't believe you would do this.
03:51Well, don't go off on one.
03:53Oh, what do you expect me to do?
03:55Congratulate you? The pair of you?
03:57I mean, what's the plan here?
03:59I was going away till it blew over.
04:01I was taking a trip anyway, so it's not sus.
04:03Well, that sounds well thought out.
04:05Supposing Josh was to visit while you were travelling with him.
04:07Yeah?
04:09And Moira, she'd be quick to work it out too.
04:11She already suspected you'd do something like this.
04:13And you were helping him.
04:15Why?
04:17Why?
04:19After everything he's done.
04:21I'll tell you why.
04:23Because if this comes out, he's going to prison.
04:25That's if Cain don't get to him first.
04:27And what about Matty?
04:29Samson's just going to leave the poor lad to rot.
04:31Samson's got to come first.
04:33I'm getting him out of here.
04:35So don't try and stop me.
04:47There you are. I'll make you a cup of tea.
04:49Oh, just give me a minute.
04:51Oh.
04:53Are you alright?
04:55Yeah, I think I just, er, I overdid it bringing that washing in.
04:57Hey, do I need to call Mampreet?
04:59No, don't be silly.
05:01I'm fine, I'm just a bit tired.
05:03It doesn't mean I'm having a heart attack.
05:05Okay, I'm just looking after you.
05:07I know, and I'm grateful.
05:11I bet you're glad I stuck around now.
05:13Yeah, well I wasn't.
05:15You know, it's funny.
05:17Even when it's raining, it just
05:19makes me put life into perspective.
05:21Oh, great.
05:23Philosophy.
05:25Contemplating the hereafter.
05:27No, it's just, you know,
05:29life is too short.
05:31You've got to make the most of everything, haven't you?
05:33Yeah, well,
05:35maybe there's still good things to come here.
05:37Yeah.
05:39I think it's time to move past what happened.
05:41Certainly.
05:44Right.
05:46I'll get that.
05:56Right.
05:58I'm off to the pawn shop.
06:00Thanks, Dad.
06:02Get to the lay-by around eleven.
06:04Don't let anyone see you leaving.
06:06I can take him.
06:08How come you're onside suddenly?
06:10I want to say goodbye.
06:12Who knows when I'll next see him?
06:14I suppose.
06:16I'll see you later.
06:26You really going through with it?
06:28It won't be forever.
06:30And if I'm out of the picture for a bit,
06:32then maybe the case will be dropped
06:34and I can come back.
06:36If?
06:38What about in the meantime?
06:40You know,
06:42if you don't come back,
06:44you'll never know.
06:46You'll never know,
06:48and the truth comes out.
06:50Like I said,
06:52it might not.
06:54Sure.
06:56Samson Dingle goes on his hauls,
06:58can't be contacted.
07:00Nothing suspicious there.
07:02In the meantime,
07:04your Uncle Lee just calms down
07:06and then he's ready to welcome you back
07:09in the first place.
07:11Dad's dealt with worse than this.
07:13He shouldn't have to deal with anything.
07:15He hasn't done anything wrong.
07:17And neither has Matty.
07:19I don't know what else to do.
07:21How about the right thing?
07:23Because that seems the favourite option
07:25from where I'm standing.
07:27And it's what I've always tried to teach you to do.
07:29You don't understand.
07:31I've got to look out for me.
07:33It's looking out for you
07:35that I'm trying to do here.
07:37What?
07:39Think about it, Samson.
07:41I mean, really, really think about it.
07:43Do you think
07:45you're going to be able to live with yourself
07:47knowing that somebody else is inside
07:49because of what you've done?
07:51The only thing
07:53that Matty is guilty of
07:55is defending himself
07:57against you.
07:59Do you really think you should go to prison
08:01for that?
08:03Dad thinks it's for the best.
08:05Your dad's doing this
08:07because he loves you,
08:09not because it's right.
08:11And believe me, it isn't.
08:16Can I have a word?
08:18I'm just on my way out.
08:20It won't take long, I promise.
08:22What's up?
08:24I heard you earlier and I wanted to thank Kim
08:26for stepping up like that and covering for Billy.
08:28That's big of you.
08:30I mean it.
08:32Dawn's lucky to have you in her life.
08:35I wish I'd been a bit more
08:37Kim, back in the day.
08:39Maybe Dawn would've avoided
08:41some of her troubles.
08:43Where's this going?
08:45We all know why I'm such a screw-up
08:47or what makes me one.
08:49Yeah, she's usually got a 40% proof label on it.
08:51Exactly.
08:53And yesterday at the
08:55kids' party I was so busy
08:57I went knocking them back
08:59and it made me realise
09:01it felt good to have a clear head
09:03I'm stopping the booze.
09:05Completely?
09:07That's the plan.
09:09I want to be a bit more present for Dawn and the kids.
09:11So...
09:17You believe that?
09:19She's got no reason to lie, has she?
09:23At least the brandy bill will go down.
09:33Where is he?
09:35He's...
09:37He's not coming, Sam.
09:39What do you mean he's not coming?
09:41Everything's set.
09:43Look, you're not going to like this, but
09:45we had a chat.
09:47About what?
09:49Where is he, Lydia?
09:53Greg.
09:55Greg.
09:57Greg.
09:59Greg.
10:01Greg.
10:09So, take me through a bit.
10:11From the beginning.
10:13It all happened
10:15really fast.
10:31Josh was trying it on with Amy.
10:33Matty, well...
10:35He took him down a peg
10:37and chucked us out.
10:39But you wanted your money back.
10:41Well, we'd paid for them drinks, so
10:43I told Josh
10:45we should go back and get them.
10:47And that's when I saw that the tool
10:49was left open.
10:51So you decided to take the cash?
10:53To get Matty back for insulting Josh?
10:55Well...
10:57I did.
11:00It was my idea.
11:02Josh had nothing to do with it. He was nowhere near us.
11:06And it all goes bad when Matty refuses to give you the money?
11:08It went bad, alright.
11:12Why do you think Matty picked up the knife?
11:16There was this bottle
11:18which
11:20I picked up first
11:22and
11:24maybe waved it round.
11:26It threatened him a bit.
11:32Yeah, so, I know someone
11:34who does tattoo laser removal.
11:36And they're good. They're not like them cowboys you might have read about online.
11:38So when can he see me?
11:40Well, that's the thing. He's booked up solid.
11:42And I do need to warn you, it's not painless.
11:44I mean, some say it's worse than having the tattoo.
11:46And then they don't say that, they're lying.
11:48And it does take a while.
11:50You have to wait a month between each appointment
11:52because you've got to wait for what's been lasered to heal.
11:54There might be quite a few of them.
11:56The appointments!
11:58Well, that's no good to me, is it?
12:00I think Marlon's going to notice that I haven't always had a Spice Girl on my back.
12:02Well, I hate to be wise after you then, but you should have thought of that.
12:04Yeah, I mean, if only I'd have had someone with me
12:06to say, don't be stupid, Rona, you're drunk.
12:08Oh, wait a minute.
12:10Don't blame me, you're the one who's obsessed about being fucked.
12:12Yeah, and now I've got a picture of Mel C on my back.
12:14Oh, so it's clarified it's sporty then?
12:16No, not necessarily. But the point is, you could have stopped me.
12:18Okay.
12:20Let me put it this way, right.
12:23I've never not done it.
12:25And our Marlon will see that when he puts his ear to your back
12:27and hears groans of Wannabe.
12:29Maybe, maybe you could keep the tattoo.
12:31You never know.
12:33He might be really into it.
12:35Oh, yeah, that's definitely what we both want.
12:37A permanent reminder of my mini-midlife crisis.
12:39Yeah, but keeping it secret.
12:41I mean, several appointments over months.
12:43Him always wondering why you're wearing a T-shirt during...
12:45Okay, I get it.
12:47I'm going to have to tell him.
12:53Ruby, I can't tell if it's working.
12:55I got some brownie points yesterday,
12:57but I don't know.
12:59I've got to go.
13:07Rose?
13:09I'm alright.
13:11I'm just having a moment.
13:13What's up?
13:17Nothing.
13:19Call me soft.
13:23I got emotional because...
13:25I feel grateful.
13:27Grateful for?
13:29Yesterday.
13:31When you said you were glad I was here.
13:33Yeah, I meant it.
13:35I know, and it was lovely.
13:39I mean, I hate what's happening to Evan,
13:41but I feel like I've been given a second chance with you all.
13:45I'm glad you're happy.
13:47I'm glad you feel that way.
13:49So does Dawn.
13:51Oh, and ditching the booze.
13:53Definitely a step in the right direction.
13:55Look, just keep doing what you're doing.
13:59Anyway...
14:01You know, I still can't believe I'm here sometimes
14:03with you,
14:05and my daughter,
14:07and my grandchildren.
14:09And whatever that bowel disease throws at Evan,
14:11we'll get through it.
14:13I'm here to try, anyway.
14:16Yeah, you're making amends.
14:18It's why I said what I said.
14:20Is it?
14:22Of course it is.
14:24Whoa!
14:26What are you doing?
14:28I'm sorry, I just... I'm sorry.
14:30What is wrong with you?
14:39He's stopping you.
14:41It's not time like the present.
14:43Fine.
14:45Here we go.
14:47Hey, alright if I join you?
14:49Yeah, sure. Excuse me.
14:51That makes me feel wanted.
14:53Don't worry, she's gonna talk to her ma about something serious.
14:55Okay.
14:57Guess she's confiding in other people these days.
14:59Huh?
15:01Doesn't matter.
15:03So...
15:05You two had a night out?
15:07Missed a right doozy.
15:09Did I miss a doozy?
15:11That's a shame.
15:13Things might not have happened.
15:15Marlon, sorry, there's something I need to tell you.
15:17Urgent? Dangerous?
15:19I mean, in other words, can it wait?
15:21I've just got a few modes to feed.
15:23That night out, you know,
15:25incidents happen on nights out
15:27when you've had a few too many.
15:29Like?
15:31Rona, what's happened?
15:33Rona got a tattoo!
15:35It's a very un-Rona-like decision.
15:37Where?
15:39Hotton. Oh, sorry, no, lower back.
15:42Why?
15:44I was going through a thing.
15:46Kind of fed up of being called old Mrs. Fingerwaggy all the time.
15:48Hey!
15:50It wasn't for old Mrs. Fingerwaggy.
15:52I'd be Mr. Can't-Tie-Your-Shoelaces-Together without...
15:54Do you know what? I want to stop that. Can I see?
15:56And can I just get this in quickly?
15:58I love you, even with the body art, maybe even more so.
16:00Meanwhile, inevitably...
16:02Come on, then, show us.
16:06Nice!
16:08Is that sporty or posh?
16:12Well?
16:14He's still being interviewed.
16:16He won't let me see him.
16:18Why the hell did you make him do this?
16:20It was his decision.
16:22Not without you telling him what's what.
16:24I know you.
16:26He saw what was right.
16:28Look, if he'd have gone on the run,
16:30they'd have known he were guilty of something.
16:32He'd have been in trouble either way.
16:34Yeah, well, he's in there now, isn't he?
16:36He's in there now.
16:38He's in there now.
16:40Yeah, well, he's in that now, all right.
16:42Don't you realise what's going to happen to him?
16:44He's going inside.
16:46I can't help him from there, can I?
16:48Hopefully they'll take into account the fact he's come forward.
16:50It doesn't work like that, and you know it.
16:52This is exactly what happened, we live.
16:54And it split us up.
16:56Don't you ever learn?
16:58Sam!
17:00Lydia, I had it sorted, but you couldn't have that, could you?
17:02That's not fair.
17:04Neither's what's going to happen to him now.
17:06I'll never forgive you for this.
17:08Kids?
17:10Oh, they're in the pirate ship.
17:12Are you sure you're all right?
17:14Yeah, oh, God, Bennett, I'm fine.
17:16I just had to rest.
17:18Honestly, stop fussing.
17:20Oh, OK.
17:22Sorry.
17:24Not needed.
17:26I'm getting stronger every day, Jay.
17:28And I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that.
17:30Me too.
17:34It's a shame.
17:37I've been thinking
17:39about what you said this morning.
17:41About wanting to make the most of...
17:45You know, I want that too.
17:47For us.
17:49I mean, I know you've obviously been
17:51thinking about it,
17:53the future and everything.
17:55I have.
17:57And?
17:59Actually, I think it's time
18:01to tell the kids that we're splitting up.
18:07Thanks, Jess.
18:15Why do I get the feeling
18:17you're not here with good news?
18:19You OK?
18:21Samson's gone to the police.
18:23He's telling them the truth
18:25about Mattie.
18:27Are you serious?
18:29That's good, ain't it?
18:31Yeah, of course it's a good thing.
18:33Well, then,
18:35Why'd they change your heart?
18:37Look, I may as well tell you.
18:39Samson were gonna do a runner.
18:41Was he, now?
18:43Sam had arranged it, but I stepped in
18:45before it got out of hand.
18:47Well, even more out of hand.
18:49OK, so it really was throwing Mattie under the bus,
18:51it sounds about right.
18:53Except he didn't, did he?
18:55Cos I persuaded him to do the right thing.
18:57All this means is a chance of Mattie getting out.
18:59Yeah. Thank God for that.
19:01So, er...
19:03Are we good?
19:07Yeah.
19:09Are you sure?
19:11I mean, you don't sound it,
19:13after everything that was said yesterday.
19:15Is she supposed to be grateful?
19:17Her son's in hospital and is about to go back in prison.
19:19Now the police know,
19:21surely they'll let him go?
19:23Well, you can guarantee that, can you?
19:25Samson's already lied before,
19:27and as far as they're concerned,
19:29who's to say he's not lying now?
19:32Hope you're happy.
19:42Will.
19:44About before.
19:46I don't want to talk about it.
19:48Will!
19:50Look, I don't know what you thought was happening there,
19:52but I did not encourage that.
19:54I'm sorry. I read it wrong.
19:56Too right you read it wrong.
19:58You can't really blame me.
20:00It's like one moment of madness.
20:02No, I just...
20:04Well, lately I've been feeling
20:06like there's something between us.
20:08You have to understand that
20:10I love my wife and nothing,
20:12nothing is gonna get in the way of that.
20:16I know.
20:18And I'm sorry.
20:20Are you going to tell Kim about this?
20:24It was a stupid mistake.
20:26One that could make her feel really insecure.
20:30And one that could send Dawn spiraling.
20:32Is that what you really want?
20:38I don't know why you're blaming me, Sam.
20:40I didn't make him go to the police.
20:42Tried, though, didn't you?
20:44And it weren't a friendly chat, either.
20:46It was his own decision, Sam.
20:48Oh, sure it was.
20:50You guilt tripping him on one side
20:52and these two half-scaring him to death on the other.
20:54Will, you listen to yourself.
20:56I'm gonna lose me son.
20:58I needed to take the blame.
21:00And how about the one who really deserved it?
21:02You know, the lad who you were gonna send on the run?
21:04Cain.
21:06I had no choice.
21:08Yeah, you did.
21:10But you made the wrong choice,
21:12like you always do with Samson.
21:14This isn't helping.
21:16He needs to wear this.
21:18You've always been too soft with him.
21:20I tried to do right by him.
21:22Yeah, and every time he does wrong,
21:24you just tell him,
21:26that her son's a deadbeat and her dad let it happen.
