00:00No problem. It's too big or too complicated that it can't be run away from.
00:16Plato?
00:18Charlie Brown.
00:19Rose hasn't replied to my message, which, if it was her, she would do, just to gloat.
00:26Process of elimination. If it's not Lydia or Dawn, what about Billy?
00:32No, Dawn won't let Billy do this.
00:34He might have gone rogue. At any rate, you need to rule him out. And while we're at it,
00:39what about Ruby and Caleb? He's always wanted to get his hands on Home Farm. And she hired
00:45Rose to try and destroy you all.
00:47Oh, don't worry. They're on my list.
00:51The mahoosive bracket were enough.
00:54Well, queen for the day. Anyway, I'll be getting some of that cash back later, won't I?
00:58When you buy your first legal drink. What are your plans?
01:01Well, Lydia's got Esther for me this morning, and then I think Kerry's just going to take
01:05me into town for a bit of shopping. But apart from buying my first drink and getting a photo
01:09op, that's it.
01:11Hey, you're 18. You should be out raging with your mates.
01:14Well, I did have another offer.
01:17Noah?
01:18Oh, have you two made up?
01:20No. No, sorry to burst your love bubble, but it's over for good. Just an old mate from
01:26school. But I can't really ask Lydia to babysit again for me tonight, so I was going to be
01:31a little bit cheeky and ask if you were good.
01:33Of course you can. The girl's working all evening, so don't bother rushing back.
01:37Honestly, Chas, I really don't know what I'd have done without you since Dad went away.
01:40Well, you're practically a dingo now, aren't you? And I promised Dan that I'd look out
01:44for you. To be quite honest with you, it's a pleasure. We're both so proud of you.
01:49Yeah, he sent me a lovely card. The stuff he wrote in it were beautiful.
01:54Happy birthday. Have a good one.
01:56Thanks. I will do now.
02:00Hey. Morning surgery.
02:06Wow, get him. Respectful and keeping his distance.
02:10Let's hop upstairs, that way.
02:11Happy birthday.
02:12Thanks.
02:20You're working here now?
02:25Oh, just a bit of shelf stacking. Keeping my hand in.
02:28Where's Eric?
02:29No idea. No one tells me anything. Tracy's out the back, though, powdering her nose.
02:34Let's face it, her mug needs all the help make-up can give it.
02:38She trusted you alone with the till.
02:39Well, I might just shoplift these two.
02:41Don't worry, I won't tell.
02:43Ha, much.
02:44Oh, yeah, I forgot. You're a lot better at keeping secrets than I am. How is Rose?
02:49No idea. She served her purpose, so if she reared her head again, I'd ghost her.
02:54So who are you playing war games with these days?
02:57Certainly not you lot. I am so over that Tarzan feud. It got old fast. So you're quite safe.
03:49Where's Moira?
03:50Oh, she's having a lie-down. There's some tea in the pot. Ooh, you're back to work already?
04:04Oh, well, him and John are outside doing the heavy lifting. I've been relegated to tea boy.
04:08Yeah, and you're underqualified for that. I know, so sit down, I'll do it.
04:11Very annoying for you that I'll live.
04:13What, to fight another day? Sounds like you were doing that yesterday with John.
04:18Come on, I made a mistake. I got it wrong. Can we just leave it? Nothing to see.
04:22Yeah, and hopefully I can stop playing referee between you two now.
04:26You must be getting sick of looking out for him now. I mean, when do you get to have a life?
04:31I do all right.
04:32Oh, do you now? Where? On the dating apps? Have you struck lucky yet?
04:38I'm not on any dating apps, so no way.
04:42Oh, my only other topic of convo is Johnny. Looking forward to going back to school, little swot.
04:50Well, definitely not Moses.
04:52Ah, Wednesday night's coming over to play video games and eat my biscuits. Weekend's good for us.
04:56Sure, yeah, just don't call it a play date, because you know they're lads now.
05:01I'll stick some cans in the fridge for him. See you later.
05:04See you.
05:08Why was she fishing? You met someone?
05:11No, but I've been offered another job in Scotland, swapping farm labouring for wind farming.
05:21Wow, congrats. Big decision.
05:24Yeah, the money's better, there's proper training and it's a growing, sustainable industry.
05:31So what's the but? Frankie? What does Tracy think to it all?
05:37Oh, she don't know yet, because I haven't decided if I'm going to take it.
05:41Right, and when do you need to make a decision?
05:44By tomorrow, if I want a place on the next training course.
05:52Here you go. Two pizzas, right, for drinks?
05:56Yeah. Enjoy.
06:00Aaron?
06:01Yeah?
06:02I'm sorry I keep kicking off. Can we please clear the air?
06:06It's fine, Vic, I get it.
06:07Just when I saw you two together, like that, it just... I freaked out.
06:12Things are complicated enough between me and John.
06:15Well, it was a one-off anyway.
06:18But it might not be a big deal for you, but it is for me.
06:22I don't want John walking away, not when I've only just started to get to know him.
06:29And as much as I love you, Aaron, I get lonely without proper family around me,
06:35and with Diane gone as well. You get what that's like, right?
06:39Yeah.
06:41And yeah, I've got mates, but I desperately want John to think about staying,
06:46and it'll help if you two aren't a thing.
06:49Well, we're not.
06:51I mean, Robert's half-brother. It is weird.
06:54It's... It was just casual.
06:58And John won't replace Robert. Not for me and not for you.
07:02I know he had a good relationship with his mum, but...
07:05I get this sense that he's never really felt like he belonged anywhere before.
07:11But maybe he would here, with me and Harry, you know, given time.
07:17So if I smooth things over with Moira and the job...
07:20Vic, if he wants to stay, then he won't let losing a job stop him, will he?
07:29So maybe you just have to face it, that his mind's made up.
07:34Well, I can dream.
07:37And I am sorry for letting it get to me like that. I was out of order.
07:41Hey, it's fine. We're fine, OK?
07:46I've got to go.
07:51We welcome new talent to join us on our journey towards fossil freedom.
07:57Our training contractor programme offers a highly competitive salary.
08:02Yeah, it's construction work with full training and building the next stage of wind farms in Shetland.
08:08It's a 12-month contract to start with.
08:11Huh. Shetland Islands. Pros and cons.
08:15Shetland Islands are not exactly on the other side of the world.
08:20But the phone signal is rubbish, which could be a pro, depending how you look at it.
08:25Or who you want to avoid.
08:28How are things with you and Tracy? Is there any chance you'd get back together if you stayed?
08:32No, we've done the whole reconciliation thing. We just can't make it work.
08:37OK. Do you want to make it work?
08:40Just need to move on. And if I'm not there, it makes it easier, doesn't it? So that's a pro, I guess.
08:45Plus, you'll be miles off the coast, which is a huge pro for me.
08:48Yeah, cheers. I just need to get my head down and save.
08:53You know, I'll be qualified in a new expanding industry and hopefully one day buy a little place with me and Frankie.
08:58You could always save up for that here.
09:00What, on a farm labourer's wage? I can barely even afford to rent a place of my own.
09:04So how's that going to change unless I do something drastic?
09:07True. But the biggest consequence is you'll never get this time with Frankie back.
09:13Thanks.
09:18Pasta's half price. It was too expensive, so no one bought it.
09:21Now it's going like calorie-free doughnuts.
09:26How you doing? Are you living on your own?
09:29Yeah, fine. It's early days.
09:31Me and Nate know just how that feels. I mean, different circumstances, obviously.
09:36Have you seen much of him lately?
09:39Who, Nate? Er, no.
09:41So he's busy then? Going out a lot, isn't he?
09:45I don't know, Trace. Why?
09:47Oh, no reason. I just thought he could be giving you some comfort, you know?
09:53Keeping you company in the evenings.
09:55Oh, sorry.
09:57Hello, David's shop.
09:59Er, who is this?
10:02All right, slow down.
10:05Er, who is this?
10:07All right, slow down.
10:09OK, er, where are you now?
10:13Right, yeah, no, you should have turned right there.
10:15OK, er, do a U-turn, take a left at the bus shutter,
10:19and, er, well, I'll be outside the shop waiting for you in.
10:27I can come back.
10:29Why?
10:31Well, I promised Jimmy and Nicola that I'd cook for them.
10:35You know, give them a break.
10:37So I'm just going to pick up some bits and bobs.
10:40That's nice of you.
10:42Yeah, well, I am trying to be a good guy.
10:48You know that now, right?
11:02MUSIC FADES
11:05They can't have told you. They don't do that.
11:08Sorry, er, who were you on about?
11:11What did you just mean?
11:13Now I know you're a good guy.
11:15Oh, no, I just meant...
11:18You know, everyone knows I'm a nice, decent bloke, even you.
11:21No, I mean...
11:24I'm trying my absolute best here.
11:26Have you been spying on me? On my phone, my laptop?
11:30Belle, please.
11:33Why would I do that?
11:35What, to...
11:38..to look for those arty photos I took of you?
11:43You need to be careful with your passwords.
11:46I mean...
11:48..if they fell into the wrong hands, it'd be terrible.
11:52I mean, when something's posted online,
11:54it's there forever for everyone to enjoy.
11:57So...
11:59..if you have any more paranoid thoughts...
12:04..talk to Rachel, yeah?
12:06I'm not paranoid. I know what I've heard.
12:09Seriously, Belle, who is going to believe you?
12:13I mean, all those voices you hear...
12:16..it must be hard work to tell what's real and what's imaginary.
12:19Sorry about that.
12:21My delivery driver was clueless, despite having a sat-nav.
12:27All all right?
12:28Yeah, sorry, miles away. Just this.
12:33Thanks.
12:35Take care, Belle.
12:41Oh!
12:42No point in crying over spilt pasta, is there?
12:45I just saw Tom.
12:47Right.
12:49It's just horrible.
12:50Did you have words?
12:52Look, he's probably just treading on eggshells.
12:54You don't understand. No-one does.
12:57Well, I kind of do.
12:59He's trying to stay out of your way.
13:01You know, even if you're trying to be a good person,
13:03you still put your foot in it because of nerves.
13:05Maybe it's just me, but...
13:07..Tom's trying his best, so just...
13:10..go easy on him.
13:12See you later.
13:24KNOCK AT DOOR
13:30Look, when are you going to get the message?
13:32For the kids. Give them some treats.
13:34You're unbelievable.
13:36I'm still their grandad.
13:38Look, we've made it clear we don't want you or Kim anywhere near the kids.
13:42Lucas and Clemmie must be missing us.
13:44Look, we've convinced them that they need to stick to our bubble
13:47and they finally get it.
13:48Look, money will be getting tight for you now.
13:50You can't buy your way back in.
13:51I'm not trying to.
13:53Well, that's just as well, then, cos your money's no good here.
14:01Say, ka-ching!
14:03Ka-ching!
14:04Whoo! Cheers!
14:06Many happy returns.
14:07Yeah, happy birthday again.
14:09Sorry, you're probably sick of me saying that to you today.
14:12Honestly, I feel like you can never get bored of hearing happy birthday.
14:18Hey, Belle, you all right? You seemed a bit off earlier.
14:20Not really, no.
14:21Well, what's up?
14:22Belle, you don't look too good.
14:24He's right. You do look a bit washed out.
14:29I've got a raging headache,
14:31so I was going to come in and get something to eat,
14:33but actually I think I should go home and have a lie down.
14:36Might be a good idea.
14:38Are you going to be all right walking back?
14:40Do you need me to come with you?
14:41I know you said you wanted some space...
14:43I'm fine.
14:48PHONE RINGS
14:49Will?
14:52Will?
14:57Is everything all right? You look rattled.
15:00I've just seen Billy. He's still furious.
15:03Well, you said yourself, they need time.
15:07Nothing's forever, good or bad.
15:10We are, I hope.
15:11Well, I'm still here,
15:13and as long as there are no other nasty surprises,
15:16we'll keep working on it.
15:19Will, I want the truth, now.
15:24Yeah, it's the paperwork for these haulage fines.
15:28They're taking ages.
15:30Can I help?
15:31No, nothing I can't deal with, thank you.
15:34Well, in that case, I've got my date with Peter.
15:37Oh, the very dashing Peter.
15:40They're very same.
15:42You know, maybe you need to whuppy again.
15:45Take me on a date night.
15:47Tonight? Where do you want to go?
15:50Well, there was that charity casino night that we RSVP'd to.
15:54I forgot to cancel, so we could still go.
15:57Black tie?
15:59Yeah, why not? Let's do it.
16:02We should enjoy our life together.
16:05Things we could so easily have lost it all.
16:17Oh.
16:32Your fridge needs cleaning out.
16:34I'm not stopping you.
16:37I'm not domesticated.
16:40But you do need a maid.
16:42Or a sister who can cook.
16:45Your sexy small talk's driving me wild,
16:48so shall we crack on?
16:53John.
16:57I was talking to Vic earlier.
17:00Maybe you should go and smooth things over with Moira in the job.
17:04Is that what she wants, or you?
17:06She got a bit upset.
17:08She's lost everyone.
17:10And finding you has meant the world to her.
17:13I'm just saying, you should think about sticking around for a bit.
17:17I know Vic would really miss you if you left now.
17:20And you won't.
17:22That cuts deep.
17:24It is what it is.
17:26Good.
17:27Because I've not been auditioning as Robert's replacement.
17:30This is nothing like me and him.
17:32Defensive much?
17:34I'm not the one being needy here, Aaron,
17:36and I'm certainly not hiding behind my sister.
17:38You know what?
17:41It's a passion killer.
17:43Oi, oi.
17:46I only need one thing from you.
17:49Then you can go.
18:03You said you had news.
18:04Yeah, I didn't want to put it in a text.
18:08Spill the beans, then.
18:10It's not Ruby and Caleb.
18:12So stir her out. She was clueless.
18:14Ditto with Billy.
18:15So it is Rose?
18:17Yeah.
18:18She sent another text message and all.
18:20You're not calling her, are you?
18:21I'm calling the phone that sent the text messages.
18:24And when Rose answers...
18:26Hello?
18:28Voicemail.
18:29Hang up. Think about what you've got to say.
18:32Guess who?
18:33Yeah, it's me.
18:35Stupidly, I expect the better from you now,
18:37but it seems like you haven't changed one bit.
18:40You're not getting any more brass.
18:42You've got no proof. It's your word against mine.
18:45And I know you think you know me, Rose,
18:47but you have no idea what I will do
18:49to protect my marriage and my life here.
18:52So give this up before you find out.
19:00Victoria, can my guests and I get some drinks, please?
19:03Peter Mansfield.
19:05Wealth management consultant.
19:07Ooh, I could do with one of them.
19:09Tell me what to do with the dregs of my overdraft every month.
19:12Spending the bank's money.
19:14Like the rich do.
19:15Well, it's a start, I guess.
19:17Can I get you some coffees?
19:19Actually, we'll have a couple of large glasses of the house white,
19:23seeing as we're walking home.
19:28Chasie won't be up yet.
19:29She'll be practically bringing Frankie up alone.
19:32Well, no, she's got Vanessa,
19:33and it'll all be worth it if it's for your daughter.
19:35Are you trying to get rid of me?
19:37Am I that obvious?
19:39What if being away from Frankie for so long tears us apart?
19:43I need to talk to Chasie about it.
20:03Please work.
20:05Please.
20:26I've been expecting you.
20:29HE CHUCKLES
20:31I've been expecting you, Mr Bond.
20:35International espionage getting to you, is it?
20:38How's the process of elimination going?
20:41Rosie's not my blackmailer.
20:43Just updated her socials.
20:45This is her dancing the night away.
20:47Where is she?
20:48It's a bar in Ibiza. Look at the banner.
20:50It was a one-off event. I've looked it up,
20:52and this was definitely taken just last night.
20:54Yeah, but she's still could have phoned you from there.
20:57Except when I called our friend the neighbourhood extortionist.
21:00Yeah?
21:01It was a UK dialling tone, so it couldn't have been her.
21:04Right. Got you.
21:07Then who the hell is it?
21:09I don't know who, but I do know one thing.
21:12I've only just got Kim back,
21:14and this person, whoever they are,
21:17they could destroy my whole life.
