00:00What's he doing here?
00:13Ask your dad.
00:14I'm asking you.
00:15I didn't have any choice, alright? He'd had a skinful.
00:20So you invite them over for a sleepover?
00:22He was drunk. And he was upset. I didn't know what else to do.
00:25Have you gone absolutely mental?
00:26Morning.
00:27Is it?
00:28Yes, it is.
00:29I've just come and got the last of my stuff.
00:41Freshly laundered and neatly folded.
00:43Thanks.
00:44Maybe we could go and get a coffee?
00:49I'm busy. I've stuck the kettle on here. I've no time.
00:52Oh, Nicky, please. There's some things I really want to talk to you about.
00:54It wouldn't hurt to spare a few minutes for your mum.
00:57If there's one thing I've learned, it's to make time for family.
01:02The opportunity might not always be there.
01:06Yeah, I, um...
01:09I suppose I could spare a few minutes.
01:11Drop an action, man. You, eh?
01:13Shouldn't you be doing a few of those?
01:17And get yourself some gums.
01:19Strange one, you. Always scurrying around, hoping nobody notices you.
01:25Your staff always in and out of here. Something weird about you.
01:29And you're not wrecking action, man, eh?
01:32Bit sus, this one.
01:34Well, the conversation's riveting in here, eh?
01:41Did you want something?
01:42Yeah, just chatting.
01:43Yeah. Well, I don't think anyone's interested.
01:48Not me, anyway.
01:50Is that a lie?
01:53Off you pop, then.
01:54What's the story with him, anyway?
01:57I won't tell you again.
02:11Well, they've confirmed she had a heart attack.
02:13Poor Laurel.
02:14She had an angioplasty to widen the artery. Went well, apparently.
02:17Good to hear. You been to visit?
02:19I've got nobody to cover here, but I'm going to go down as soon as we close up.
02:22Give her all love, won't you?
02:24Of course.
02:25You take it for granted, your health, and then something like this comes out of the blue.
02:28Well, none other than most.
02:30You're not getting any younger, that's for sure.
02:32Speak for yourself.
02:33No, I mean, it just makes you think, that's all.
02:41Look, it wasn't my idea to bring Charles back to ours.
02:45Nobody said it was.
02:46Nicky, please, can we not just try and put all this behind us?
02:49Just like that.
02:51You could have killed Ethan.
02:53I didn't, though. He died of natural causes.
02:56So that makes it okay.
03:00I was angry.
03:02But only because of how much I love you.
03:05And because of how close I nearly came to losing you because of Ethan.
03:10It was stupid, I know.
03:12And no, that doesn't make it okay.
03:14But our family shouldn't be torn apart because of something I did,
03:17because I love you so much.
03:19Nicky, please come home.
03:22I'm happy where I am.
03:25I'm enjoying spending more time with Sonny.
03:28Andy needs me there at the minute while Laurel's in hospital.
03:32Well, it doesn't have to be right away.
03:35And I promise I won't intervene if you want to knock your dad into shape again.
03:39I might even weigh him myself.
03:41How about you and Sonny come round for dinner sometime as a starting point?
03:44Maybe.
03:46In fact, why don't we ask him to join us now?
03:48We could take his mind off it.
03:50You know how much he loves me.
03:52If you say so.
03:54Give him a call.
03:56Last time I woke up on someone's sofa, I was barely out of my teens.
04:01A bit too old for this.
04:03The worst place you could wake up in.
04:05I'm not sure he's become any of a vicar, though.
04:07Like you'd channel him into a church?
04:09Like you'd channel in your mum there?
04:14Well, don't worry.
04:16Siga's safe with me.
04:18Thanks.
04:20And thanks for last night.
04:23For everything, really.
04:26Your kindness has helped a lot.
04:28And Ruby's.
04:30I'm just glad that we've been able to move on after Ethan and Nicky's crash.
04:35Yeah, me too.
04:37Oh, I'm sorry.
04:39That's fine.
04:41Relax, mate. That rug's on its way out anyway.
04:43Let me clean it.
04:45No, don't worry about it.
04:47I insist.
04:49Don't mean to be rude, mate, but I've got to shoot off soon.
05:09I've got a meeting in Hotton.
05:11Ruby needs a car later, so I'm going to have to book a taxi.
05:13I'll give you a lift.
05:14No, no, it's fine.
05:16I can sort myself out. You don't need to do that.
05:18It's the least I could do.
05:20Well, I'm not sure you're in a fit state to drive, are you?
05:23I've been asleep for hours.
05:25And how are you for last night?
05:27And this?
05:29I said don't worry about that.
05:30Seriously?
05:33Let me repay the favour.
05:38So what happened between you two?
05:40Before she fell?
05:43Nothing.
05:45Well, something was up yesterday. I could tell.
05:50We argued, all right? It was nothing. Just a little disagreement.
05:56Oh.
05:58There she is.
06:00Hey.
06:02How are you feeling?
06:03OK.
06:05I'm just a bit sore.
06:07Yeah, you need to rest up.
06:09Best excuse ever to be waiting on hand and foot, right?
06:12And I'm more than happy to oblige.
06:14Where are the kids?
06:15Sonny got them off to school.
06:17He messaged earlier. Everyone's fine.
06:20No, you need to just think about yourself.
06:22Nicola's been texting me non-stop. The whole village is asking after you.
06:27That's lovely.
06:29No, you need to take it easy, Laurel.
06:33Yeah, I will.
06:34And I'll be at your beck and call.
06:36Anything you need, I'm there. And I mean anything.
06:41I'm going to get you better and get you home.
06:49Where have you been? I've been worried sick.
06:51Had your phone stopped working?
06:53Oh, I'm sorry. I should have let you know I wasn't coming home.
06:56Is everything all right?
06:57Yeah, absolutely fine. Just something's come up.
07:00Something more important than a parishioner collapsing in your church yesterday?
07:03You should be at the hospital visiting.
07:05You're right. I've just got to deal with this first.
07:08But...
07:09Get on!
07:14Look at this. My two favourite boys.
07:18I'm hoping you might help me persuade this one to be a little less grumpy with me.
07:21I'll do my best.
07:24Are you OK? I know you've got a lot going on.
07:27Yeah, I just feel like I should be doing more than sitting around drinking coffee.
07:32Well, unless you've become a cardiac consultant overnight,
07:34it sounds like you're doing everything you can.
07:36I quite like the idea of you in surgical swabs.
07:41I'm sure Jay appreciates everything you're doing for him.
07:44I was just saying, before you arrived, to Nicky, how nothing should come before family.
07:50I won't argue with that.
07:52This just feels like a chance to show Jay how much it means to me that we're brothers.
07:57I really want to be there for him.
07:58I'm sure he knows that already.
08:01Now, how about you both come round for dinner tonight?
08:05I might have the kids.
08:06Bring them. And Jay, if he's back from the hospital, the more the merrier.
08:10Please, Nicky.
08:12He'll be there.
08:20This song came out after Ethan was born.
08:24I see.
08:26Are we taking a short walk from this way?
08:32I just need a minute.
08:36MUSIC FADES
08:47Are you all right?
08:48A bit overwhelmed.
08:50You mean the song?
08:52Listen, I can make my own way into Horton.
08:55Give you a bit of space, you know.
08:57I'd prefer if you stayed.
08:59Yeah, of course.
09:01It's no problem.
09:03I'm sorry, Caleb.
09:06I shouldn't be putting all this on you, man.
09:14Here you go.
09:19It's not the end of the world, you know.
09:22That's easy for you to say.
09:23You're not the beauticians that have completed what?
09:25There are two. Two appointments of the entire day.
09:27I've had to send Amelia home.
09:29I can't cope with the endless small talk.
09:31Things will pick up. They always do.
09:33I'm glad you're so confident.
09:35I'm always confident in you.
09:37Right, why don't I cheer you up by taking you to the cafe
09:39for something to eat later?
09:41I suppose.
09:42You can have whatever you want.
09:44Just don't say I'm not good to you.
09:46You're always good to me.
09:48I know I'm the luckiest woman alive.
09:51Maybe we can do a little bit of wedding planning.
09:55There's no rush for that, is there?
09:57Is there not?
09:58We haven't even set a date.
10:00Well, exactly, we can do that.
10:01OK.
10:02You don't seem very excited.
10:04Of course I'm excited.
10:05But?
10:06But there's no buts, Paddy.
10:07All right, then, well, let's meet later
10:09and do a little bit of wedding planning, then.
10:14He was such a good boy.
10:17I know he wasn't perfect, all that stuff with Nicky.
10:20That's all in the past now.
10:22But he had morals and principles.
10:25Even when he was a kid.
10:28I was so proud when he got accepted into law school.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Yeah, I bet you were.
10:34And now he's gone.
10:37And I just keep trying to make sense of it,
10:39even though I can't.
10:41I think you need to focus on the good memories.
10:45Easy as that.
10:46No.
10:47No, of course not, but...
10:50I reckon it'll get easier given time.
10:53I'm not so sure about that.
10:56I just can't believe...
10:59that they dropped a hit-and-run investigation like that.
11:02Have you spoken to Claude yet about any of this?
11:05My mum's great, but...
11:09it feels easier talking to you.
11:11She's grieving herself.
11:26BIRDS CHIRP
11:49I'm sorry.
11:50Can we not do this now?
11:52now, cos I'm just trying to get my head round the fact that I nearly died yesterday.
11:59It's my fault. That's all I wanted to say. I blame myself for getting you all wound up
12:07like that. I really am sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise.
12:15We're gonna make it up to Sonny?
12:21You haven't told him, have you?
12:25I haven't had a chance.
12:27Haven't had the chance, or haven't got the courage?
12:30When was I supposed to tell him with all this going on?
12:33You had lots of opportunities before.
12:36I'll tell him. I promise.
12:38Belle, you said that yesterday, and I'm starting to think that, um, you know, your promises
12:44just don't really mean anything, do they?
12:47I'll do it, I swear.
12:48When?
12:50As soon as I get a chance.
12:52Today. Stop wasting time. Find Sonny J and tell him the truth.
13:00If you could, Brenda, I really need to get down to the hospital. Just try and be back
13:10a bit sooner, please. Thanks.
13:17What's the matter?
13:19Sorry?
13:20Nothing. You just seemed to be a bit evasive about setting a date for the wedding.
13:25I wasn't being evasive.
13:27No. You were hardly enthusiastic either, though, were you?
13:31You just took me by surprise, that's all.
13:33Right. But we do have to set a date for the wedding.
13:36Yes, I know. We're not in any bad fush, though, are we?
13:40No. Well, no. Andies, you do still want to get married, don't you?
13:47Are you crazy? Of course I do. I want nothing more in the whole wide world.
13:52I just want to enjoy being engaged for a bit, you know?
13:57Stay in the moment.
14:00Oh, look at you two lovebirds, sneaking out for a romantic rendezvous.
14:05Join us if you want.
14:06What? Oh, no, no. I wouldn't dream of interrupting.
14:08Actually, I've just come for some take-outs. Me and Ron are going for a walk.
14:11You know, make the most of being child-free.
14:14Going for a walk?
14:15Hardly making the most of being child-free.
14:17Each to their own.
14:18To their house.
14:20She's right, though, isn't she?
14:22Should you not be both letting your hair down, being butt-loose and fancy-free?
14:26Why don't we do something together? Something couple-y?
14:29Sounds a bit wrong, that.
14:32I just mean play some games, have a few drinks. It'd be great.
14:35It's been ages since we've done something together.
14:37Yeah, because it ended really well last time, didn't it?
14:40Oh, you mean the dinner party of doom.
14:43Well, then, let's rectify that. Come round two hours later. About six-ish.
14:47Yeah, all right. Why not? Yeah, thanks.
14:56Listen, I, er... I really need to start getting back.
15:01I think you need to speak to someone.
15:03Like a professional, maybe. Talk all this stuff through properly.
15:06The only person I really need to talk to right now is you.
15:13I need to know what happened the day Ethan got knocked down.
15:16Er... Well, I'm not following you.
15:19You know what I'm talking about.
15:22Look, you're upset.
15:24Look, you're upset.
15:26Yeah, and you're grieving. And you had quite a bit to drink last night.
15:29Don't patronise me, man. Nobody's patronising anybody.
15:34I'm going.
15:36You're not going nowhere. I'm not doing you any favours, humouring this behaviour.
15:39You need to get some proper help. Whoa!
15:43Listen, Charles.
15:45You've just lost your son.
15:47I'd be all over the place as well feeling exactly the same as you are.
15:50I'm not messing around. Just take it easy, all right?
15:54An invoice from the garage.
15:57I found it in your kitchen.
16:00Dated the day after Ethan was run over.
16:08Where have you been?
16:11Nowhere.
16:13You see, the answer to that should have been none of your business.
16:18Where have you been, mate?
16:20None of your business. That's better.
16:23You say it like you mean it next time.
16:27So, are you on some kind of medication?
16:31That's a real question, by the way.
16:36Look, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to.
16:39But a little bit of advice.
16:42That lad earlier.
16:44He was right.
16:46People all keep asking questions if you're disappearing with the staff all the time.
16:50Now, you can tell them to butt out if you want,
16:53but if you're on methadone or something,
16:56it'd be easier if you just come out with it.
17:01It's not that simple.
17:03Yeah, well, that's up to you.
17:06I'm only trying to help you.
17:09Oh, Sonny.
17:11Hey.
17:12Thought I'd squeeze a quick visit in before I pick the kids up from school.
17:16Oh, that's really thoughtful of you. Thank you so much for helping out.
17:19Oh, of course. We're family.
17:22At times like this, everyone's got to pull together.
17:25I'm guessing you haven't spoken to Jay.
17:27About what?
17:30I don't know.
17:32I don't know.
17:34I'm guessing you haven't spoken to Jay.
17:36About what?
17:38Is everything OK?
17:42So it turns out that a leper doesn't really ever change his spots.
17:47I was going to tell him.
17:48No, you weren't.
17:49Tell me what?
17:50I'm sorry, Sonny.
17:52About what?
17:53Tell him.
17:54Tell him now.
17:56Oh, you are so spineless and weak that I'll do it.
17:59I'm really sorry, Sonny, to have to tell you this,
18:02but I've only just found this out myself recently,
18:05but it turns out Jay lied.
18:13Your dad did kill Rishi.
18:17I'm sorry. I tried to...
18:19No.
18:20And then Jay used the information to blackmail him into leaving,
18:24and then he made him sign over all of his shares in HOT.
18:29People are going to start asking questions
18:32about why the guards come round all the time.
18:35They already are.
18:42Look...
18:46What is it you're hiding, anyway?
18:48Nothing.
18:51Suit yourself.
18:54Anyway, I already told you.
18:57None of your business.
19:05You're all right, you.
19:08I'm not trying to be difficult.
19:10It's just, erm, it's a bit personal.
19:13Listen, whatever it is, you'll most likely come out anyway.
19:19Or people will come up with their own ideas.
19:22And that could be worse.
19:24I cannot trust you.
19:28You, erm, you swear you won't tell anyone?
19:33Well, that depends what it is.
19:35But I ain't about to go round gossiping without life,
19:38if that's what you're asking.
19:42The thing is, erm...
19:46Before I say this, erm...
19:50Before I say this, erm...
19:54Just know that I am a normal guy like you, yeah?
20:00But, erm...
20:03The medication that I take...
20:06It's testosterone.
20:09Cos I'm transgender.
20:20Was it you that knocked Ethan down?
20:22No.
20:23Then why did your car need body repairs the day after?
20:25I don't know what you think this is!
20:27You're lying, that's what it is!
20:30You're protecting someone else.
20:32You have no idea what this is like for me, do you?
20:34Look, you're right. I don't.
20:36I just want the truth.
20:37None of this is helping anyone.
20:39And none of this is going to bring Ethan back.
20:41It's not about bringing him back, can't you see that?
20:43It's about knowing that I've done everything possible
20:45to get him back.
20:47It's about knowing that I've done everything possible
20:49to get justice for my son.
20:50You need to let it go.
20:51I can't move on until I know exactly what happened.
20:53This isn't a coincidence.
20:54The coroner said that the accident had nothing to do
20:56with Ethan's death anyway.
20:58He died of natural causes.
20:59I don't care what the coroner said!
21:04I know.
21:06You were involved in the hit and run.
21:10So tell me what you know, Caleb.
21:14Or I'm going straight to the police.
21:17Okay, you're right.
21:21It was me.
21:22I was the one who ran Ethan over.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:41I really am.
21:43Sorry?
21:44Sorry?
21:47Is that the best you can go?
21:48There's nothing that I can say or do
21:50that will change anything.
21:53I know that.
21:55You've been lying to me this whole time.
21:58Your wife brought us food and sympathy
22:02when Ethan died.
22:04And all this time, she knew you were responsible.
22:07No, Ruby knows nothing about this.
22:09That was genuine sympathy.
22:11I slept under your roof last night, man.
22:14What else was I supposed to do?
22:16You were in a state.
22:17I couldn't kick you out on the street, could I?
22:19So you played the good Samaritan instead?
22:25I don't know what else to say.
22:30You can tell me
22:32exactly what happened.
22:38I was angry.
22:41Ethan had put Nicky in hospital.
22:43We didn't know if he was gonna live or die.
22:46That's why I wanted to hurt him.
22:48So you hit him?
22:51And you drove away?
22:54I wasn't thinking straight, was I?
22:56Just the same as you're not thinking straight now.
23:01You didn't care who you mean.
23:04You didn't even get out of the car.
23:07The human being just lying there.
23:10And you drove off.
23:12He could have been dead.
23:15Well, at least I wasn't blind drunk, eh?
23:17This isn't about Ethan.
23:19It's about you.
23:21In fact, save your breath.
23:24You can tell it to the police.
23:26Oh, no.
23:28No, I won't be saying anything to the police.
23:31What?
23:33Ethan's gone.
23:35And it wasn't the accident that killed him.
23:37Everyone knows that.
23:39He's gone.
23:41And nothing's bringing him back.
23:44Besides,
23:46I've got an alibi for that morning.
23:48And it's a watertight one.
23:50You're gonna lie to the police?
23:53After you've just admitted it to me?
23:55I'd be angry as well if I was you.
23:57Trust me.
23:59This is more than anger.
24:00If the police come knocking at my door,
24:02I would be denied it. This conversation never happened.
24:04The difference is, I've got the evidence.
24:07Ethan didn't report it.
24:10He didn't even go to the hospital.
24:12And my car being repaired, it doesn't mean anything.
24:15You'd be wasting your time.
24:21Let me make this up to you, please.
24:26You and my dad,
24:28you're the same.
24:31You poison everything you go near.
24:33Even Laurel is suffering now because of you.
24:36Sonny, listen.
24:37I'm done listening.
24:39Look at this with Laurel.
24:41It's made me realise how stupid I've been.
24:43It's made me realise how much I need to change.
24:46Not with her. With you.
24:48With everything.
24:51I actually thought I had a brother.
24:54A real family and a place to call home.
24:58Yet you've been lying and cheating me for months.
25:01Meanwhile, I'm running around looking after your kids
25:04and worrying about your sick wife,
25:06who, by the way, deserves so much better than you.
25:09I will never, ever lie to you again.
25:14What I did was out of order.
25:16But we are brothers.
25:18And I want to make it right.
25:22We can find a way through this.
25:26No, we can't.
25:29I hope you enjoy your shares.
25:31I'm done with you.
25:36This isn't you, Charles.
25:37People like you.
25:38You can do whatever you want.
25:40You ruin people's lives if you're lying and cheating.
25:42You think you can get away with the consequences?
25:44Just calm down, will you?
25:45You sat there and lied to me!
25:47How was I supposed to tell you?
25:49How many people have you hurt?
25:50Right, listen to me, Charles.
25:52Ethan dying had nothing to do with that car accident.
25:55It was...
25:57It was an act of God. You should know that better than anyone.
25:59Don't even think about bringing God into this.
26:01It's the truth. You need to think about it.
26:04If this was one of your parishioners,
26:06what would you be telling them right now?
26:08You'd be telling them that they need to accept it.
26:12They need to accept it and try and move on.
26:15Come on.
26:17You know that you would.
26:27You know, sometimes things happen
26:29and it doesn't make any sense.
26:31Whether it's...
26:33God or...
26:35fate or karma, whatever it is.
26:38Come on, Charles.
26:41Ethan wouldn't want you eating yourself up like this.
26:44Don't even say his name.
26:46His name's too good to come out of your mouth.
26:50He was my son.
26:52I'm so sorry.
26:56But he's gone.
27:01Here.
27:03Have it.
27:07In the future, you stay away from me and my family.
27:10Do you understand me?
27:15Maybe one day you'll find out what it's like to lose a child.
27:27You know,
27:29it's mad to think that you used to be a woman.
27:33Well, I was always a man, really.
27:36Deep down.
27:38And this testosterone,
27:40you need to take it every day?
27:42Yeah.
27:45It's just a gel.
27:47There's no injections, tablets or anything.
27:51Wow.
27:53And that's all you need?
27:56Yeah, pretty much.
27:59So, did you always think you were a man?
28:03I always knew, yeah.
28:05From when I was a kid.
28:07Sorry, I wasn't trying to be smart.
28:10Nah, you're fine.
28:13It's not ideal, though, is it?
28:15Really, being in a place like this?
28:17Wouldn't you better be in a woman's prison?
28:19Would've been easier, wouldn't it?
28:22To be honest, I think this is the only time I don't want to be a man.
28:26But I am one, so...
28:29where else am I gonna go?
28:32Yeah, well, I reckon there's a few in here that'd use that against you.
28:36One way or another.
28:38Not you, though.
28:40Listen, mate.
28:42I've been in these places enough times
28:44and the policy's the same.
28:47Mind my own business and get it done.
28:51Whatever people do, say or are,
28:54it's nothing to do with me.
28:56Unless they make it something to do with me.
29:00You're right to be cagey, though.
29:03But as far as I'm concerned,
29:06none of my business.
29:09Thanks.
29:11You just mind how you go, though.
29:13Cos there's plenty of others that'll take a different point of view.
29:17Is Laurel OK?
29:18She's fine.
29:19Well, apart from being married to one of the lowest, most toxic human beings
29:24to ever walk this planet,
29:26my so-called brother.
29:27What's he done?
29:28Taken me for a complete nutter mug, that's what.
29:31There I am, sat in that cafe earlier,
29:33agreeing with your mum about how important family is,
29:36when he's been lying and cheating me for months.
29:39Wait, you're gonna have to slow down.
29:41What's happened?
29:48My dad killed Uncle Rish
29:50and Jay found out.
29:52And instead of telling me or going to the police,
29:55he blackmailed Dad into handing over his shares in Hop
29:59before forcing him to leave.
30:02What?
30:03He didn't even come clean.
30:05Laurel told me.
30:09He's a snake and I never want to see him again.
30:14In fact,
30:16I can't stay here for another minute.
30:18I'm packing my things and I'm leaving.
30:19But where?
30:20I don't know, I...
30:22I just need to get as far away from this place as possible.
30:27Will you come with me?
30:30Look, Nicky...
30:31It's just...
30:32Look, I know it's a lot to spring on you, it's just...
30:35You were the one that's been wanting to leave for ages.
30:37I know that.
30:38So what's changed?
30:39It's me mum.
30:40She's really trying and I...
30:42I can't just leave.
30:44And yet it never ceases to trouble me.
30:46I did not think it.
30:47The wanderer returns.
30:49It does indeed.
30:53Did you go and visit Laurel?
30:55Not yet.
30:58I'll go tomorrow.
31:00Don't worry, I'll stop asking questions now.
31:03That would be nice.
31:06You must be tired after all your drinking and gallivanting
31:08these past couple of days.
31:11A bit.
31:13And hungry too?
31:16I could eat.
31:17How about I go and make you something?
31:21That would be lovely, thanks.
31:30All of this will get easier.
31:33Maybe not completely better.
31:35And maybe not any time soon.
31:37But it will get easier.
31:39You know that, don't you?
31:42We'll get through this together.
31:44I spend all my time
31:47telling people to
31:51accept God's will.
31:56Maybe I need to follow my own advice.
32:00I think we both do.
32:03I think we both do.
32:17Right, so any paperwork from that day
32:19make sure it's all gone.
32:21Talking absolutely everything.
32:23Wait, it won't come to that, but
32:25just get rid of it all anyway, I'll speak to you later.
32:27I just had a run-in with Charles.
32:29What kind of a run-in?
32:31He saw the repair slip for the car.
32:34He realised that it was the day after Ethan got knocked over
32:36and he's put two and two together.
32:38And?
32:40I told him it was me that was driving.
32:43What?
32:44He wouldn't let it lie. He was all over the place.
32:47I'll take it your mate's gone.
32:49He knows
32:51that it was our car that hit Ethan.
32:53I told him it was me.
32:55I told him it was me that was driving to protect your mum.
32:57Oh, aren't you Mr. Chivalrous?
32:59Nicky!
33:01Listen, right, if you go to the police
33:03we need to make sure that all our stories are straight.
33:05Are you asking me to lie for you again?
33:07Not for me, it's for your mum.
33:09Actually, do you know what, it's for all of us.
33:11You really don't change, do you?
33:13This is just a big game for you, isn't it?
33:15This isn't down to me. We need to pull together right now.
33:17I'll tell you what, I am done with all this mess.
33:19No, no, Nicky, wait.
33:21Hang on, let me talk to him.
33:25At least let me try and explain.
33:27I've had enough of your explanations to last a lifetime.
33:29I don't want to hear it.
33:31I'm trying to protect your mum here.
33:33She wouldn't need protecting if she didn't run someone over.
33:35What? What, you think we don't know that?
33:37Look, all I want to do is clear this mess up, so just hear me out.
33:39I've done enough listening.
33:41To you, especially.
33:43I'm not getting involved in any more of your lies.
33:45Oh, come on, Nicky, this isn't my fault and you know it.
33:47Your mum, she made a mistake and we need to stick together
33:49till it's all sorted.
33:51Nah, I've had enough of sticking together with you.
33:55Oh, it's Jimmy.
33:57He's had to pick up Archie and Dottie.
33:59Sonny couldn't do it for some reason.
34:01Well, let's keep all of that away from Laurel.
34:03Let her relax properly without worrying.
34:05Yeah, definitely.
34:07You know, I keep thinking about what could have happened
34:09if I hadn't found her.
34:11Oh, no, don't do that to yourself.
34:13I'm not going to do it.
34:15I'm not going to do it.
34:17I'm not going to do it.
34:19I'm not going to do it.
34:21I'm not going to do it.
34:24Oh, no, don't do that to yourself.
34:26I should have noticed how stressed out she's been.
34:28Hey, Gabby, this isn't your fault.
34:30No, don't.
34:32You'll get me started.
34:34You know, I...
34:36I keep thinking about my dad.
34:40I can't go through that again.
34:42You don't think about how much someone means to you
34:44until you see them like that.
34:46Come here.
34:50I couldn't go without Laurel.
34:52She's going to be all right, isn't she?
34:54Yeah, the doctors have said
34:56she's responding well to treatment.
34:58She just needs to see
35:00this as a warning and slow down a bit.
35:02And if it happens again?
35:04She's got us.
35:06And we'll get her through this.
35:08And this is a chance for Jay to really start pulling his weight
35:10between us.
35:12We'll make sure she's okay.
35:14Come on.
35:16Found him.
35:22Backgammon?
35:24Don't tell me you've never heard of backgammon.
35:26I don't play games with meeting a title. It's one of my life rules.
35:28Can't we do something a bit more fun?
35:30Like what?
35:32Twister, maybe?
35:34Play Twister?
35:36Number Goggle? What's that going to be about?
35:38It's like a dice game.
35:40Sounds great.
35:42I bet Rona's going to love it.
35:44What do you mean by that?
35:46She's not exactly the most exciting of people, is she?
35:48Rona's absolutely lovely.
35:50Lovely and lovely are two very different things, Paddy.
35:58Sorry, I would have got here sooner, but I couldn't leave work.
36:00Oh, are you here now?
36:02That's what matters.
36:04How are you feeling?
36:06Well, Nicola, I am going to live.
36:08You're flimming better.
36:10Where's Jay?
36:12He's gone.
36:14Sounds ominous.
36:16No, he had something to take care of.
36:19Gabby, you know what it's like.
36:21Is everything okay?
36:23Yeah, fine.
36:25Do you fancy going and grabbing us a couple of coffees?
36:27Yeah, sure.
36:33What's going on, Lauren?
36:35Well, do you want the honest answer?
36:39I don't think I can do this anymore.
36:41Do what anymore?
36:43Being married to one of the most corrupt,
36:45dishonest, cowardly people
36:47I have ever had the misfortune to meet.
36:53Ugh, this game's stupid.
36:55Fucking Dyson.
36:57Seriously.
36:59Well, maybe if you just concentrated a little bit more
37:01and drank a little bit less.
37:03Yeah, but where's the games at?
37:05I wasn't expecting these.
37:07Well, what did you expect?
37:09A bit more fun, maybe?
37:11Oh.
37:13Come and join me
37:15for a French martini.
37:17Eh?
37:19We're in the middle of a game.
37:21We're in the middle of a game.
37:23Are you taking the mickey?
37:25Come on.
37:27Loosen up a bit.
37:29I'm perfectly loose, thank you very much.
37:31No, you're not, though, are you?
37:33I beg your pardon?
37:35Mum, dear.
37:37I'm just saying.
37:39I feel like I'm living among people here.
37:43Maybe we should just call it a night.
37:45Can we just finish the game?
37:47I'm not sure I want to now.
37:49Oh, come on, Rona.
37:51I didn't mean anything by it.
37:53Come on.
37:55Have a French martini.
38:03You sure about leaving?
38:05Absolutely.
38:08100%.
38:10I just... I don't want to feel like I'm dragging you away from your mum.
38:12No, you're right.
38:14We need to do this.
38:16I just want to speak to Charles before we go.
38:18I'll grab some snacks for the journey.
38:38Can I come in?
38:42It's OK with you, or rather you didn't.
38:46I just wanted to talk.
38:48Before I go.
38:50You're leaving?
38:52Yeah.
38:54For good?
38:56That's the plan.
38:58To go where?
39:00I'm not sure yet.
39:02Travelling somewhere.
39:04Anywhere.
39:06I just want
39:08to say that I'm sorry.
39:10About everything.
39:12Did you know all along?
39:14About your dad?
39:20It's probably a wise move
39:22that you leave.
39:24I'd do the same thing
39:26if I was in your position.
39:30I am really sorry.
39:32About Ethan.
39:34And everything.
39:36You were his friend.
39:38I know how much he cared
39:40about you.
39:42I hope you can find
39:44some kind of happiness.
39:46I do too.
39:50Good luck.
39:56No wonder he had a heart attack.
39:58I think I just need
40:00a whole lifestyle change.
40:03Good start with a husband transplant.
40:07I just keep thinking about the kids.
40:09You've got to do what's right for yourself
40:11too, Laurel.
40:13I know, but it's a big decision, isn't it?
40:17Oh, why don't I give you two a little bit of space?
40:19No!
40:21No, I want you to stay.
40:23I want you to hear what I've got to say.
40:25Talk in front of Nicola.
40:27I...
40:31I tried to talk to Sonny.
40:33He wouldn't listen.
40:35Are you surprised by that?
40:37Laurel, I...
40:39Do you know what?
40:41Leave it. I'm not interested.
40:43I made a mistake.
40:45One in a very long line.
40:47I just want to put all of this
40:49behind us.
40:51Focus on helping you
40:53get through this.
40:55I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
40:57I've heard it a million times before.
40:59I mean it this time.
41:01We're done.
41:03No, no, no, Laurel.
41:05Look, one more chance.
41:07That's all
41:09I'm asking for.
41:11Not for me.
41:13For the kids.
41:15Laurel, please.
41:17No, no. I'm sorry.
41:19There's not anything you can say or do
41:21that's going to make me change my mind.
41:24I can't be with you anymore.
41:26You and me, it's over.
41:34You going somewhere?
41:36I was going to call you from the car.
41:40I just thought it'd be easier.
41:42You were going to call me from the car about what?
41:46We're leaving.
41:50I'm sorry, Mum.
41:52It's not my decision, but we're going.
41:54Go where?
41:56I'm not sure yet.
41:58Travelling somewhere.
42:00Seriously? You can't just leave.
42:02We need a fresh start.
42:04Both of us.
42:06Away from here and away from me dad, especially.
42:08Oh, Nicky, no.
42:10They're leaving.
42:12What?
42:14Where are you going?
42:16None of your business.
42:18Nicky.
42:20We've talked enough.
42:22I'm sorry, Mum.
42:28You take care, alright?
42:34Both of you.
42:36You better take care of him.
42:38I will. I promise.
42:42I love you.
42:46Nicky, please don't do this.
42:49But we can sort it out.
42:51I love you.
