00:30Morning! I don't know if you know it, but I own the Village Café.
00:37All new customers, a free slice of cake and a smile.
00:40I don't like cake. And I don't need smiles.
00:44My van was right here last night. It's not here anymore.
01:03Most normal people start with hello.
01:05Hello. Where's my van?
01:10Joe, I actually thought you were here to apologise to me.
01:12I've told you why I'm here.
01:15My grandad thought you'd moved it yourself.
01:18Yeah, pretty sure I didn't, as it wasn't drivable.
01:20Right, well, the keys weren't there this morning,
01:21so he assumed you'd got it and taken it somewhere else.
01:23Well, that didn't happen, so you need to tell me where my van is.
01:25I just told you.
01:26You've told me nothing.
01:29Look, my grandad will be back soon.
01:31What's he going to tell me?
01:32That someone could just turn up here and steal anything they want
01:34and nobody would be the slightest bit bothered?
01:36Fine, I'll call the police then.
01:38No. No.
01:42I think I can work it out for myself.
01:50Well, if you don't like it, feel free to hang up.
01:56Yes, really.
01:57Look, do you have any idea how pathetic you sound?
02:00You're the one that's supposed to be serving me.
02:02Eh?
02:03Hello?
02:05Hello?
02:07Did they hang up?
02:08Rude.
02:09Well, I thought that was part of the service.
02:11Eh?
02:12Weren't you doing your...thing?
02:14Oh, no, no, no, I do that thing on the laptop.
02:16That was the, er, credit card cut.
02:19Right.
02:20Oh, well, similar territory, I suppose.
02:22You know, they put you in their own special handcuffs,
02:25humiliate you and leave you feeling helpless.
02:28I have managed to get rid of one of my handcuffs.
02:30I've paid off one at smaller credit card bills.
02:32Oh, and how long before you make a dent in the bigger one?
02:35And the even bigger tax bill?
02:37Depends if it decides to rob a bank or not.
02:39In fact, what are you doing later?
02:40Cos you would look lovely in a bella clava.
02:43No offence taken.
02:44Oh, come on, Trace, if you can't laugh,
02:46you'd curl up in a ball and drown in your own tears.
02:48Munday.
02:49Look, I know what you're going to say, right?
02:51And I have taken your advice.
02:53I switched the picture.
02:54You can't recognise me. I wouldn't recognise me.
02:56I am just scared of you falling deeper into a hole
02:59that you can't get out of.
03:00No, Trace, this is my chance of getting out of it.
03:03I got a few new clients last night.
03:05You could almost smell the money coming out of the screen.
03:09Nice, I think.
03:11They were well up for it.
03:12And now, with that money, I can get our Paddy a nice little treat.
03:17I thought you'd gone without saying goodbye.
03:20No, you have no idea who they're dealing with.
03:23Who?
03:24There's a line you don't cross and they've smashed through that line.
03:27Right, slow down and tell me who, what...
03:30Aaron. You need to tell me where he lives.
03:32Aaron?
03:33Yeah, I need to go and pay him a visit.
03:35Well, you don't seem like you're in the right frame of mind
03:37to be paying anyone a visit.
03:38I think he's taken my van.
03:39Seriously?
03:40Just a bit of fun.
03:41So that's why he's still here?
03:43Please, you need to tell me which door I need to be knocking on.
03:48No, no, that's fantastic, thank you.
03:51Yeah, yeah, we can't wait.
03:54OK, yeah, thanks, bye.
03:58I'm scared of saying that that sounded like good news.
04:01It's brilliant news.
04:03The unit were phoning to confirm Angelica's day release tomorrow.
04:06Which we knew was happening.
04:07Yeah, but we've both been around long enough to know
04:09if a spanner can be put in the works, someone will find that spanner.
04:12Oh, I think I found the spanner all by myself.
04:15Look, yesterday I said some stuff...
04:18Which needed saying.
04:19We're in this situation because of me.
04:21My choices.
04:23And we can feel sorry for ourselves
04:25if we can find a way of dealing with things like we always do.
04:28Now, problems aren't going to go away, Nico.
04:31They still need solving.
04:33Now more than ever.
04:34But this isn't a one-man problem, is it?
04:37The haulage yard, Will's supposed to be a partner.
04:40But he is.
04:41So why is the weight of the world only on your shoulders, hmm?
04:44Maybe he needs to start doing some heavy lifting too.
04:48Oh, this is amazing!
04:52Oh, but I still feel bad about cutting you out once.
04:55You don't.
04:56What I'm trying to say is, like, you shouldn't be splashing out on me.
04:59You should be careful with your money.
05:01Well, I wanted to.
05:02Plus, I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
05:04Well, evidently you are, cos I don't know what the secret is yet.
05:07Yeah, but I feel like you're going to say no,
05:09and you can't really say no.
05:11To what?
05:12A hen do.
05:13Tomorrow.
05:14Yeah!
05:16I know it's short notice.
05:17Did you not hear me? I said yes, like a big yes.
05:19We've almost only held plates and all that badge.
05:21OK, cool, well, I've sorted everything.
05:23Got the fizzy wine, not the expensive stuff, offs,
05:25and the karaoke machine.
05:26Lydia, Ella and Kerry are free to come too.
05:29Honestly, you have me at hen.
05:31Oh.
05:32Right, missy, you are going to have to go.
05:36Will, I thought I was working today.
05:38No, I'm sorry, I've had more cancellations.
05:41But, hey, it gives you more time to work on the hen do.
05:44Every cloud.
05:46Play hard, work harder.
05:58You can do this, you can do this.
06:00Of course you can do this.
06:01You can do this, you can do this.
06:05Ah.
06:06So, what have you done this time, you pathetic little worm?
06:11Mm-hm.
06:13I think it's about time I introduce you to my friend.
06:18Mr Bamboo.
06:20But first, you need to show me the money.
06:26Thanks.
06:28That's what's known as a happy face.
06:30Oh, I had one of them once.
06:32Can't really remember when, but I definitely had one.
06:35Well, I told Mandy about the hen do.
06:38Thought she was going to say no.
06:39To a party, her own party.
06:41How long have you known Mandy?
06:43The only surprise is she didn't plan one herself.
06:45You're not meant to be at the salon.
06:46Well, I was, but Mandy's had a few more cancellations.
06:49Honestly, she couldn't get me out of that door quick enough.
06:51Is she stressed?
06:52No, I was talking to her earlier.
06:54I mean, the cancellations are doing her head in, but she's fine.
06:58Won't do any harm to check up on her, though.
07:00She might need someone to screen that.
07:07She won't stay mad at you forever.
07:09Whatever's gone on between you two, I'm sure you'll work it out.
07:12I know we do.
07:14But it's not just her, is it?
07:16Esther?
07:17It was like she was mine, and it's like I just don't matter.
07:21Oh, love.
07:22I get I can't be a part of her life, but I just don't feel...
07:26Fair.
07:27I know, but your mum had a similar situation with Johnny, didn't she?
07:30But she still sees him. She's still part of his life.
07:34I don't think Amelia would go for that.
07:36Oh, you won't know until you talk to her.
07:39Tell her how you feel.
07:46Oh, that's something you never want to see ever again.
07:48Thank God.
07:49I didn't even know a snake could do that.
07:51And that's a full-size cow.
07:53Yeah.
07:58Where is it?
08:00Oh, the cow. The snake's just eaten it right there.
08:04Oh.
08:05Not into small talk, Ben.
08:09I just asked you a question.
08:10You just asked me a question.
08:12Do you know the answer?
08:13No, but I think he might be looking for something.
08:16Yeah. Yeah, I think so, too.
08:18He doesn't look very happy, though, does he?
08:21Are you not very happy, John?
08:23My van.
08:24What have you done with it?
08:26Oh, I think it's his van.
08:29Why would we know where it is?
08:30I really don't have time for this.
08:32Well, we don't have time for clowns like you
08:34coming and interrupting our morning coffee and cake.
08:36Have you tried the cake here, John?
08:38It's lovely.
08:39Very moist.
08:42What are you doing?
08:43Start talking.
08:44Get off me.
08:45Take me to my van, or I will snap you in half.
08:48All right, all right.
08:50We'll take you to it.
08:51Come on.
08:52Come on.
09:07It's not here, is it?
09:09This is a winder.
09:10It's not.
09:11We had it here.
09:12We left it right there so you could wash it.
09:15You wouldn't be that stupid.
09:16We obviously don't know you that well,
09:17cos I definitely am that stupid.
09:19Let's just stop panicking.
09:20If someone's nicked it...
09:21It wasn't drivable.
09:22So it should be easy to find.
09:26Where is it?
09:36This is not happening.
09:38Oh, we must have left the handbrake on.
09:41What do you mean, we?
09:42That's a bit of a schoolboy error, that.
09:44You think this is funny?
09:46My life was in that van.
09:48Well, if your whole life's in the van,
09:49then maybe you should think about getting a better one.
09:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:53You'll have to go through me first.
09:55Which means you need to go through both of us.
09:57Still fancy your chances, big man?
09:59You have no idea what you've done.
10:01We kind of do, though, don't we?
10:03Because your van's in the lake.
10:04It wasn't...
10:05It wasn't...
10:06It wasn't supposed to happen like that.
10:07It was supposed to be a laugh.
10:12Is he scaring you?
10:14A little bit.
10:15You?
10:16Terrifies.
10:20LAUGHS
10:40Monday?
10:42Monday?
10:49Monday?
11:12I know you wanted to take a few days off from the business.
11:15And yet you're still here.
11:17I need to fill you in on a few things.
11:20Things?
11:21Bad things.
11:23Great.
11:24Promised myself I won't drink today and all.
11:26You might want to sit down as well.
11:29The Gorman contract.
11:31Our bread and butter?
11:32Yeah.
11:33Well, there isn't any bread and butter any more.
11:34There's barely a few crumbs left.
11:36What?
11:37You've lost the contract?
11:38I didn't lose it.
11:39There was an incident.
11:40Some boxes went missing from a load.
11:42How did that happen?
11:43Somebody's obviously not doing their job right.
11:45I don't know how it happened.
11:47I checked that load onto the van myself.
11:49Everything seemed fine.
11:51I tried to get Gormans back on side,
11:53but one-strike Gorman wasn't having it.
11:56He already signed a new contract.
11:58Oh, brilliant.
11:59You've just met my day.
12:01Oh, it gets worse.
12:02Worse?
12:05We had a visit from a traffic examiner.
12:07He wanted to do a tachograph check.
12:09So, we're on top of that.
12:10We were, and then we weren't.
12:12We got a fine.
12:13A big fine.
12:14And I'm not sure we've got the money to pay it.
12:16Hang on a minute.
12:17We?
12:18Losing a contract and getting hammered with a fine
12:20happened on your watch, Jimmy.
12:21You've got to take the hit.
12:23It happened on my watch
12:24because I was doing extra work to make more money
12:26because you'd gone AWOL
12:28because you were having trouble at home.
12:29Just hang on a minute.
12:30We all have things that are crippling us, Will.
12:32You have the luxury of choices.
12:34I don't.
12:35I need the haulage business to keep my family afloat.
12:38You finished?
12:39It just all gets on top of me sometimes.
12:43Angel.
12:46I can't stop thinking about her.
12:49I can't stop worrying about her.
12:52I don't expect you to understand.
12:54Of course I understand.
12:56I'm a father too.
12:58Look, whatever you feel you've got to say out loud, mate,
13:01you can say it to me.
13:04I've seen some angry people in my time
13:06but not as angry as him.
13:07Yeah, I thought his head was going to explode.
13:09That alone was worth the entrance fee.
13:11You left that on break-off?
13:12Yeah, by accident.
13:14You're a clown.
13:15Well, you could have checked it.
13:16Yeah, I could have checked it
13:17but I didn't know you were an idiot.
13:18Yes, you did, Aaron.
13:19You knew that I'm an idiot
13:20and he needed payback
13:21and now he's paying for it in full.
13:22It won't be forgotten.
13:23Well, I'll tell you this much,
13:24Johnny's not going to forget it any time soon.
13:26Still laughing, are we?
13:28Have you any idea what you've done?
13:31Have you any idea what you've done?
13:34Of course we do.
13:35We were there.
13:36I'm guessing you don't know the full story.
13:38I know the part where he stole his van from the garage
13:40and drove it into a lake,
13:42trying to fill in any gaps.
13:44Ah, Mackenzie.
13:46Yeah, the first gap is that we didn't drive into the lake.
13:49You left that on break-off.
13:50I did. I did do that.
13:52So that's my fault.
13:53What's not my fault is that John's a hobo in a van.
13:56Don't call him that.
13:57You're right, I shouldn't call him that.
13:58He doesn't have the van anymore, does he?
13:59He's a homeless hobo.
14:00You're pathetic and I'm pity charity.
14:02Well, I'll be honest with you, Victoria.
14:04I do too, sometimes.
14:05Can we just slow down for a minute?
14:07Because maybe what you need to do is go and ask your new housemate
14:10why it happened.
14:11Then you might realise he's not the angel you think he is.
14:13Well, my half-brother, because of you,
14:16has no home, no way of getting work.
14:19He's basically got nothing left.
14:21Are we still finding this funny?
14:23Is the answer no?
14:25We needed teaching a lesson, right?
14:27And it just went wrong.
14:29The end.
14:30No, not the end, actually.
14:32But do you know what?
14:33I shall be thanking you.
14:35Thanking us?
14:37That took an unexpected turn.
14:39Well, he's going nowhere now.
14:40So I get my half-brother for a whole lot longer
14:43and you two get a fight that you really don't want.
14:45So give yourselves a big pat on the back.
14:47Good work, idiots.
14:50So...
14:55Oh.
14:56Oh, erm...
14:58How, er...
14:59How long have you been standing there?
15:02Probably too long.
15:05What were you going to tell me?
15:07About what?
15:09You know what.
15:10Paddy...
15:11We weren't keeping secrets any more.
15:13I hate keeping anything from you.
15:15I just thought...
15:16Well, I know what you thought.
15:19Sorry.
15:22What are you saying sorry for?
15:24I think it's amazing.
15:26You do?
15:27Yeah.
15:29I can't believe it.
15:31You've actually booked a little trip for us in Venice.
15:33That's...
15:34I wasn't snooping.
15:35It was just there.
15:36It's just...
15:37I...
15:38A speedboat?
15:40That's so romantic.
15:41Well, I just wanted to spoil you because...
15:43Well, I love you.
15:46I love you too.
15:48More than yesterday.
15:50Maybe not as much as tomorrow.
15:52Not so much.
15:54No, no.
15:55Honestly.
15:56It was lovely.
15:57I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
16:04Every part of me wants Angel home.
16:07I can't stand the thought of her spending another minute in that place.
16:11Yeah, it must be unbearable.
16:13The other thing eating away at me
16:15is how people have got to treat her when she gets out.
16:18You need to stop worrying about people.
16:20It's just day release.
16:23Summer'd have her behind bars forever.
16:25Yeah, because people are only happy when they're judging.
16:28When they've got a pitchfork to sharpen.
16:30It's something you can't leave behind though, isn't it?
16:34We both know how Summer behaved when they found out what Ella had done.
16:38That's a different story.
16:39Same ending.
16:41I'm worried that when she gets out
16:43she's got to be treated like a pariah for the rest of her life.
16:46She's still my little girl.
16:50When I was inside, the thing that I felt every day,
16:53apart from guilt and regret,
16:56I felt helpless.
16:58Knowing that Dawn were in care and it were because of me.
17:01And there were nothing I could do to fix it.
17:05Yeah, but look at you now.
17:08Not many dads have got what you and Dawn have got.
17:11Things can look fine on the surface, Jimmy,
17:13but when you look a bit closer,
17:16all the scars are still there.
17:22This is so cute.
17:24Still looks brand new.
17:25It's for these things. I think she's only ever worn once.
17:28And I say, you never get over how quickly they grow.
17:30This is so nice.
17:32I still can't believe how quick she gets food nappies.
17:34That's a totally different problem.
17:38I'll always be here for you, Amelia.
17:40You two will always have a place to stay with me.
17:43I'd say thanks, but don't come close.
17:49Is that a quick come through?
17:51I think it's best if you two get things out in the open.
17:54I'll leave you to it.
17:59I just wanted to talk to you.
18:01There's no what to talk about, Noah.
18:03No, I get it.
18:05We're not anything anymore.
18:07But...
18:08And I know it might sound stupid,
18:11I just wanted to know if I can still be a part of Esther's life.
18:14Even a little bit.
18:15I don't think it's a good idea.
18:17I knew you were going to say that.
18:19But I just think...
18:21The trust fund money, the bank card, all of it, you can have it back.
18:24I don't want it back.
18:25Neither of us will be able to move on if we're still in each other's lives.
18:28You live here with Chas.
18:30She's literally my family.
18:32Yeah, and we'll still see each other, but only cos we have to.
18:37Look, I know I'm not a real dad.
18:42But I still love you, you know.
18:44I do.
18:46I know.
18:50Amelia, please.
18:52She's going to miss me too, you know.
18:54Yeah, she's still young enough to forget you.
18:58Sorry. Sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like that.
19:01It's fine.
19:03This is the best for everyone, you know.
19:08Not the best for me, though, is it?
19:12Is that it, then, yeah?
19:16Yeah.
19:18That's it.
19:29It don't matter how long we look at this, Jimmy.
19:31It still reads the same.
19:34Kim must know some fairly high-end accountants.
19:37You know, the ones that can make some figures just disappear.
19:42We need more than an accountant. We need a magician.
19:45And high-end still costs...
19:47More than we can afford.
19:49We're drowning.
19:51There's only one way I can see of us getting out of it.
19:53I know it makes sense to sell it, I do,
19:56but it's still my family business,
19:58and I've always had it in my head that one day
20:00I'll be able to hand it down to the kids.
20:02And I know sentiment doesn't pay the bills, but...
20:05Oh, I've got Angel at home tomorrow.
20:08I can't have this hanging over me.
20:11So, if we're going to go down,
20:14maybe we don't go down without a fight.
20:16Kicking, screaming, punching, biting, whatever else we have to do.
20:19Now, we're talking. Yeah, let them come for us, mate.
20:22We might lose, but we... We do everything we have to to win.
20:25Exactly.
20:28Your partner in crime left you alone.
20:32It certainly looks that way, doesn't it?
20:35You don't look worried.
20:38Why would I be worried?
20:40You don't know me, Aaron.
20:42Who says I want to know you?
20:44Probably a good thing.
20:46What you did, you know there's going to be payback.
20:49Yeah. It wasn't meant to go like that.
20:52But it did.
20:54I know.
20:56Just tell you how it is.
20:59Remember the last time we were this close?
21:02Can't remember what you've already forgot.
21:05I reckon when you close your eyes tonight,
21:07I'll be the last thing you think about.
21:10Yeah, probably.
21:12Laughing about your little van.
21:14Be awake for hours.
21:16I know what you want.
21:20This routine of yours needs work.
21:22No. It doesn't.
21:35That was just too easy.
21:37Yeah. Fair play.
21:39Sweet dreams.
