00:00Are you sure you don't mind giving Brenda a hand? I just want to make sure everything's
00:07perfect for Angel's visit. We only get a few hours with her.
00:10Of course not. At least in the cafe I can't get into too much trouble.
00:15Oh, try not to keep stressing about the haulage. You and Will will sort it.
00:19Yeah, I know.
00:21Have we made a mistake keeping today small? There's Dad. And I know the boys would have
00:27loved to have seen her.
00:29Easy steps. They've had this football camp bug for ages. And it's a big thing, her coming
00:34home for a day. We don't want to overwhelm her. You wait. Soon she'll be home proper
00:40and I'll be sick to the back teeth of her again.
00:43You think?
00:44Yeah. Onwards and upwards.
01:00You're in my light.
01:01I need to talk about my van.
01:03Of course you do.
01:06It's going to cost you a fortune.
01:08Only because of your brother-in-law.
01:10Well, it's not my problem. I'll take it up with him.
01:14Oh yeah? Carry it there himself, did he? Or did he use your tow truck and nick the keys
01:20from your garage?
01:24Fine. That's what we're doing, is it? I'll go and ring my insurance.
01:29Or actually, maybe the police first. They usually need an incident number, don't they?
01:36You've got no problem if they come sniffing round here, do you?
01:45I don't like being threatened.
01:47Not many people do.
01:50Yes, Queen?
01:52Hi. Do you want a hand?
01:54Oh, no, it's okay. Amelia's with me here in a sec. She's buzzing, pulling all this together.
01:59She thinks a lot of you, you know. You've really helped her. I'm loving this.
02:03Look at this.
02:04Hey, it's Amelia's idea. It's karaoke now. And apparently it's not going to get in the way of all me dance moves.
02:11Oh, brilliant. You're still here. Do you think you can squeeze in a bit?
02:16Oh, brilliant. You're still here. Do you think you can squeeze me in for a beard trim?
02:20Today?
02:21Well, ideally. You don't want me looking like a scruffy get on your wedding day now, do you?
02:26And I always look my best a couple of days after you've worked your magic.
02:30Dad, it's a hen do.
02:32It'll take ten minutes.
02:33It's okay. I can squeeze him in.
02:35See? I knew you were marrying a good'un.
02:38Yeah, I'll tell you what. Not many brides have been this relaxed a couple of days before the wedding.
02:42Oh, that reminds me. Did you manage to get some euros for Venice yet?
02:45It doesn't matter if you haven't. I can get some.
02:47Oh, er...
02:50You know, erm, don't worry. I've got everything in hand.
02:54I'm just going to go have a look.
02:59You're in a good mood.
03:01Angel's visiting today. I can't wait.
03:04Sorry. You really don't need to be hearing that.
03:07It's not your fault, is it?
03:09Still, how is he, Samson?
03:13Hard to tell.
03:15I'd like to say it gets easier. That's not true.
03:18But there is an ending, so try and focus on that, mate.
03:23It's not forever, it's just for now.
03:27That were nice of Jimmy.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Is that all you've got to say?
03:34Is that all you've got to say?
03:38You need to talk about this properly, Sam.
03:40It's not good, you bottling it all up.
03:42I'm not.
03:48Why did Moira crash Samson up?
03:51He might have only got suspended.
03:54We don't know for sure it were her.
03:56Course it was. Who else would have done it?
04:00All the time in my head is going round. What could be happening to him?
04:03I know. I'm doing the same.
04:06It's not the same.
04:08You mean cos I'm not his real mum?
04:12Anyway, I'd best be off. I've got a busy day.
04:15Especially if I'm going to make Mandy's shin dig.
04:17I didn't mean it like that.
04:19It's OK. Everything's fine.
04:21I'm just glad you're getting it off your chest.
04:24MUSIC PLAYS
04:37Am I interrupting?
04:39No, I'm just getting a bit of practice in.
04:41The girls are going to love this.
04:43You can hear it halfway across village.
04:45That's good to know, innit?
04:47When our charity belts out a tune with her extra bits.
04:50Sir, please, fixy.
04:54That thing's not stopped buzzing all morning.
04:56Yeah, well, you know.
04:58Just trying to drum up some extra business for the salon.
05:01Makes sense. Cost of weddings these days.
05:05You going to take it?
05:07Would you mind? I thought you might need to get off.
05:09Well, I can do Bear's trim if you want.
05:12It's all right with me if it makes things easier for you.
05:15Oh, thanks. Right, well, leave you both to it, then.
05:18Take it here if you want. We're hardly likely to be making much noise now, are we?
05:22Oh, it's a new client, you know.
05:24I think it's probably best if I have a bit of privacy.
05:28I didn't know that you lived in the ruddy thing, did I?
05:31And, also, I didn't mean for it to go all the way in.
05:34And I've been thinking about this. How do we know that the handbrake was working?
05:37It was about the only thing that still is.
05:39What's going on?
05:40John's threatened to call the police.
05:42So, what do you want me to do?
05:44Well, an apology would be a start.
05:46A start?
05:49Great. Since when have you ever apologised for anything, Kate?
05:52I'm not the one doing it. Come on.
05:56Now!
05:58Are you gonna come with me, considering you're the reason I'm in this mess?
06:01No. And don't start blaming me.
06:03Either I'm staying out of this, like I should, or I'm in the first place.
06:05Hate you.
06:06Oh, OK.
06:10What?
06:12He, er, he's got something to tell you.
06:15Sorry.
06:16What?
06:17I said I'm sorry.
06:19I didn't realise how much that van meant to you.
06:22And I should have taken into consideration that you'd just lost your mum.
06:26So, you wouldn't have destroyed my home if I wasn't grieving, is that it?
06:31And just how thick are you not to realise I live in it?
06:33It's a camper van. All my stuff's in there.
06:35Or it was.
06:36See, this isn't getting us anywhere.
06:38Just, just go.
06:39I thought we were sorting this.
06:41Yes, and I will, but you're not making it easy.
06:44Fine.
06:46You know what, mate?
06:47Actually, I am sorry that you've had such a tough time with it,
06:51but surely you've got to ask yourself the question at some point,
06:54what kind of man ends up living on his own, in his van, and in the middle of nowhere?
07:03Idiot.
07:04Yep.
07:05But he's still my wife's brother.
07:08And I just want this over with.
07:10I've got enough on my plate.
07:11And I still need my van.
07:13So, where do we go from here?
07:14Because I'm not backing down.
07:22Sorry I'm late.
07:24Brenda wouldn't stop bleating on about the toaster.
07:27I told her it could wait, but...
07:29Angel's not back yet, is she?
07:40What's happened?
07:42She's not come in. They've cancelled it.
07:47Why?
07:48Is she all right?
07:51What?
07:52She's fine, but...
07:56She got into a fight.
08:01Why would she do that?
08:04Why today?
08:09Wait, I've not got my mask on.
08:13Did you hear something?
08:17Must be my ears playing tricks on me.
08:19Right, well, we're all done.
08:21Just go fetch that beard oil.
08:28Must be someone important, face like that.
08:31No, but do you mind if I just take it?
08:33No, honestly, I'm in no rush.
08:35Thanks.
08:38Are you not going to say anything?
08:41What, are you shy?
08:43Little mummy's boy, perhaps?
08:45Or is this some stupid game?
08:50Mandy?
08:55Mandy?
08:57I think you left your microphone on.
08:59Fine, be that way.
09:01It's me doing the talking.
09:02And that's what you're after, isn't it?
09:04Someone to take charge because you're just too weak.
09:08Well, I want paying for this now.
09:10And for what?
09:11It's none of your business.
09:12Do you hear me?
09:13You are a useless waste of space,
09:16and I deserve better.
09:18So pay up, little Josh Piggy.
09:21Madame Diamante-Dales is here,
09:23and she's about to...
09:25Dear God.
09:28So how did you end it?
09:29Well, Cain said leave it to him,
09:30but you know what he's like.
09:31He probably scared the guy half to death
09:33and sent him packing.
09:35Who can't believe he drove his van into a lake?
09:37How many times? I didn't mean to do it.
09:44That's him.
09:45Who?
09:47John.
09:49Victoria's brother, the van guy.
09:50I see you do, don't I?
09:53What do you think?
09:55Cain told him to get lost,
09:56and now he's trying to rob the place.
09:57We should call the police, then.
09:58No, no.
09:59He threatened to do that to me and to the garage.
10:01Cain finds out that I'd get them involved here,
10:03he'll hit the roof.
10:04So what are we going to do?
10:05I'll tell you what we're going to do.
10:08We're going to scare him.
10:10But wait.
10:15You can take that.
10:16Come here.
10:28Hey, you!
10:36That was a mistake.
10:47Just leave it, will you?
10:49Wait, hey!
10:50What's going on?
10:51He attacked me.
10:54Looks like you were given as good as you got.
10:55I'd say a bit more than that.
10:57Sorry, I'm just saying what I saw.
10:59He was trying to rob you.
11:00No, I wasn't.
11:01Oh, don't give me that.
11:02Why else would you be here?
11:04Because I gave him a job.
11:05What?
11:06Well, he's going to be sticking around.
11:07He needs to feed himself.
11:09And more than that, he needs an extra pair of hands.
11:11What?
11:12I don't know.
11:13He needs to feed himself.
11:14And more than that, he needs an extra pair of hands.
11:17He's got experience, apparently.
11:20Although maybe I'm beginning to regret that.
11:22He went for me first.
11:24I was only trying to scare you.
11:26I'm shaking.
11:30New guy seems nice.
11:31Oh, go away!
11:36Cain.
11:39I don't like him.
11:40I don't trust him at all.
11:42Are you sure you know what you're doing?
11:43Fixing the mess that you made.
11:45I need to get that van out of the water.
11:48You've got a lot of work ahead of you,
11:49and you're going to be paying for it.
11:55Cain gave him a job?
11:57He said it fixed everyone's problems.
11:59I thought Cain was going to kill him this morning.
12:01Well, he's always respected people who stand up for themselves.
12:04Yeah, I guess.
12:05I wonder if this means John's planning on staying longer.
12:08I thought he made it pretty clear that he was only stopping until his van was fixed.
12:11Well, that's what he said, but he's got a job.
12:14He's found a family.
12:15Who knows what might happen over the next few weeks?
12:17This is great.
12:20Don't think this means I've forgiven you.
12:22It was all Mackenzie, Vic. Trust me.
12:24I can't believe he was a farmhand.
12:26Your dad would have been proud.
12:29Yeah, yeah, he would.
12:31I'll see you in a bit.
12:35Do you fancy giving me a hand, shifting a few crates?
12:37You know, when I get them done before Mandy's hen.
12:40As opposed to someone who actually works here.
12:43Fine.
12:48I'm so sorry about that.
12:50Sit back down and I'll get you that beard oil.
12:52No, no, no, you're all right. I'll do it myself when I get home.
12:55You all right?
12:57No, I just need some fresh air, that's all.
12:59It just gets very, very hot in here.
13:02Yeah, I think it's our dryers.
13:04Are you finished already?
13:05Yeah, it's pretty straightforward.
13:07You getting off?
13:08Sorry?
13:09You done?
13:10Oh, yes, yeah.
13:11Amelia did a grand job.
13:15Who was it you said you were having a meeting with again?
13:18Why do you ask?
13:19Just interested, that's all.
13:20I mean, I am basically your father-in-law now, aren't I?
13:22Oh, it's just some new client, you know.
13:24Got to pay for this honeymoon somehow.
13:28And it all went well then?
13:31You showed them who's boss?
13:34Yeah, something like that.
13:37Right then.
13:38Well, I'd better be off now.
13:40Enjoy the karaoke machine, but do take care of the volume control.
13:46It's amazing how far that sound can travel.
13:51Thought you were busy.
13:52Girl's got to eat.
13:55All right.
13:57Because I thought maybe you just said that to get away from me.
14:06I'm sorry.
14:07I'm sorry.
14:08I'm sorry.
14:09I'm sorry.
14:10I'm sorry.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I'm sorry.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:15I'm sorry.
14:16I'm sorry.
14:17I'm sorry.
14:18I'm sorry.
14:19I'm sorry for what I said.
14:25Of course you're his mum.
14:27And you're going through this now.
14:32But maybe you said what you did because I made him confess.
14:37If you're still angry with me...
14:39No.
14:40I didn't mean it.
14:43Just sometimes my mouth runs away with itself.
14:47You know, when I'm...
14:51Heartbroken?
14:54I just miss him.
14:58And I'm scared for him.
15:02You're much better than me at all this.
15:05You know...
15:07Emotions, isn't that?
15:10You always know what to do for it, Bess.
15:12I don't know about that.
15:14You do.
15:17Sometimes I think you're the only thing holding this family together.
15:27Right, there you go.
15:29Anything else?
15:30Yeah.
15:31Would you mind shifting them all back downstairs again, please?
15:34What?
15:35Don't blame me.
15:37You're the one who won't talk to me unless I give you something physical to do.
15:42Come on, love.
15:43I could see how much it bothered you when you heard that John was staying.
15:47Couldn't care less.
15:48Really?
15:49Hmm.
15:50You must have fancied him a little bit, seeing as you two-
15:52No, no, Mum, don't do that.
15:53What? What? I was only gonna say you spent some time together.
15:56Well, I wish I'd never laid eyes on him.
15:59Because if I knew he was Robert's brother, I'd have never have gone there.
16:02Yeah, well, you did go there, didn't you? That ship has already sailed.
16:05Well, then let's hope that he sails off with the ship.
16:09Just as soon as his van's fixed.
16:11Hmm. You sure?
16:12Well, I wouldn't say it if I wasn't.
16:15There's nothing going on between me and him. Nothing.
16:25Finished that quick? You in a rush?
16:27We've got plenty to be getting on with.
16:29Look, I'm all for getting some grafting, but we're paid by the day.
16:32There's no point killing ourselves. My dad won't thank us for that.
16:37Look, I know Matt can be an idiot, but he's our idiot.
16:40He's a good guy, once you get to know him.
16:42I'll have to take your word for it.
16:45There you are.
16:46What are you doing up here?
16:47I was looking for you.
16:49Well, we've got a lot to be getting on with. Sorry. See you out there.
16:53It'll only take a second.
16:55What will?
16:56I just wanted to say I heard you were working here, and I think it's great.
17:00And don't forget, you've always got a bed at my hand whenever you need it.
17:03This doesn't mean anything. It's just a job.
17:11And then I thought I'd compare their marriage to pancakes,
17:14cos you always mess the first one up, but the second one, cos of the...
17:19You know.
17:20Are you listening?
17:22Eh?
17:23What are you watching?
17:24Oh, I'm reading, listening.
17:27You know, text-to-speech stuff.
17:30Must be interesting, the way you're looking at it.
17:34Careful. Keep doing that and people think you're up to all sorts.
17:37Give over.
17:38It's not for me, all this weird stuff you get on here, kinks and that.
17:44But...
17:46Do you know there are some blokes who pay women to, like,
17:50shout at them, belittle them for money?
17:54How did we get here?
17:55I'm just making conversation.
17:58Are you sure that's all it is? Because, you know, if you're in trouble...
18:01Oh, no, no, no, it's not me. It's a...
18:04It's a mate of mine.
18:05Back from my days in the ring.
18:08People are saying that his missus might be doing it behind his back.
18:12You know, this, er, financial domination.
18:15I think I might have found her account.
18:18Blimey! Would I know him?
18:20I'm assuming it's a wrestler.
18:22Is it Abel Bill?
18:23Er, no, is it... Is it the one-man band sheet?
18:26Is it the Tadcaster thrasher?
18:28No, no, no, no, no, it's none of them.
18:30Hiya!
18:32Here they are.
18:34Here they are.
18:35Who fancies an impromptu stag night?
18:37I thought you didn't want one?
18:38You know, I said I didn't want a proper one.
18:40But me just buying some booze and some pizzas.
18:42And I was thinking we could do a diode marathon.
18:45With just me dad and me best mate. It'd be bliss.
18:47All right, yeah, yeah, but you've got to give me a hand with this first.
18:50What are we doing?
18:51It's nothing. Just drop it.
18:52What? No way! It's a brilliant game.
18:54We're guessing which wrestler your dad's got gossip on
18:56because apparently his wife is up to all kinds of things.
18:59It's not gossip. You're talking about somebody's life here.
19:01All right, Dad. I'm sure Marlon didn't mean any harm.
19:04Yeah, no, I'm sorry. Sorry.
19:06But if you want my advice, if you're not sure,
19:09it's probably best not to say anything, really.
19:11Yeah, no-one's going to thank you for trying to ruin their relationship,
19:13even if you are trying to help.
19:15Right. Come on. We can't let Mandy have all the fun.
19:26Hi!
19:28You don't give up, do you?
19:30Who, me? I was just taking an innocent stroll.
19:33Is that so? I want you to know I'm not trying to upset you.
19:36I'm just telling you how it is.
19:38I'm not looking to build a life around here.
19:40And I'm not asking you to.
19:42I just thought if you have to stick around, and you kind of do,
19:46would it really hurt if we got to know each other?
19:49You know, my dad never saw himself staying round here.
19:52Went to London, wrote a book.
19:56Not many people know that.
19:57What's your point?
19:59My point is, this place, farming,
20:02it's been in our family for almost 100 years.
20:05Has a way of getting in your bones, whether you want it to or not.
20:09Sounds like it means a lot to you.
20:11More than I've ever realised.
20:14I know you've probably been through a lot with your mum and stuff,
20:18but if you took the time to just stop and stand still for a while,
20:22it might not be such a bad thing.
20:24And yet, you probably don't want to spend the next 100 years here,
20:28but it could also be exactly what you need right now.
20:33Actually, there was another reason I came to find you.
20:37I didn't want to say anything in front of Nate.
20:40But I went home to clear some more space for you if you are staying longer,
20:43and I found this in Harry's room.
20:46You must have taken it. I'm sorry.
20:48I assumed it was yours.
20:49But I didn't open it. It didn't seem right.
20:54Is that a dog tag? Like from the army?
20:57Yeah, but I don't want to talk about that time in my life.
21:01It's over. Right?
