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