00:00Wake up little Ella, wake up. I am awake. No, like the song, you know, last night we
00:12fell asleep. Fully clothed. Exactly, yeah. But what we gonna tell? Tell? There's nothing
00:19to tell. Well, except we did kiss. Right. Bit of a shock that. But we should have seen
00:25it coming. Really? Yeah, we're full of the feels from making up. Now we can start over
00:31from scratch. Oh, you wanna start over? Of course. I'll see you later. I'm really glad
00:38we worked things out. Last night was pretty perfect. Pretty perfect. Oh, bacon butty and
00:55some of that coffee that you like. Smells like guilt. It's more like relief that my
01:00wife's home. I did miss you sleeping at the side of me last night. And all the other nights.
01:08Me too. I'm back home. Not back in your bed. We've a way to go yet. I will do everything
01:16in my power to make that happen. Things will be better now. Now we're free of Rose.
01:26Morning. Is Rose Jackson here? No. What's she done now? Left her handbag by the side
01:38of the road. Have you seen her? He gave some pointers to Samson, yeah? Yeah, I'll need
01:45a lot more if he's gonna last inside. No, you're all heart. Morning. Um, Chas, I don't
01:51suppose you've got any spare shifts going? Why aren't you cutting your hours, are they?
01:55Not after everything that's happened. I can't stay on there. Well, I would, but Samson's
02:00doing any spare hours that we've got going at the moment. And I can't imagine you wanna
02:05work with her anyway. Well, that's easy fix. Fire Samson the thug. Hire Mattie as victim.
02:10Mum, don't. She has got a point. I don't need you sticking your nape in. Mum, it's all right.
02:15Mattie's plea hearing's Tuesday. Sentencing'll probably be a few weeks after that, and if
02:19he gets sent down... When? Not if, Chas. Any of his hours will be yours, if you still want
02:24them. What can I do with the next pair of hands at the garage? Oh, yeah. Let me just
02:31dust off my trained mechanic's certificate. Might just be a bit of tidying up, some towing.
02:36Anything else that needs sorting? Thanks, Kate. I really appreciate it, but I know you've
02:40already got Sarah for all that. Mum, got anything going at your place? You hate Grafton
02:46at the farm? Loved it as a kid, didn't I? Much prefer working with sheep than people
02:50nowadays. Yeah. Well, it's your job if you want it, son. Whatever you need. Thank you.
02:56Best go and tell Gabby I quit. Mattie, me helping Samson isn't about you. I just don't
03:03want it meeting alive inside. Yeah. Me neither, mate. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. What,
03:08not even Josh? Nah. I don't want him hurt. Just stop before he does it again or worse.
03:13That's not gonna happen, is it? Nope. Thanks to Samson. I won't apologise for helping my
03:21nephew protect himself. I wasn't always a bad kid. Well, he is now. I already told the
03:26police about his psychopath. Face it, Cain, he's a nasty piece of work and you are helping
03:32him. Yes, she lost it after a heavy night in a pub. Well, a few pubs and not for the
03:39first time. Did she report it? No, she didn't think police would prioritise it. Oh, may
03:47you so consider it prioritised? Even though it's just a few lipsticks a child's drawing
03:52in an old hospital letter. When are you expecting her home? Oh, she's gone to the hospital.
03:59Dawn had to stay overnight again with her son, so, er, well, could be back any minute.
04:05Why don't you leave the bag with us and we'll make sure she gets it? Great. Sign here, will
04:11you? Er, do you think you could sign, love? You took the bag, darling. You need to sign
04:15for it. Sure. If Rose is missing anything, tell her she will need to file a report. Yeah.
04:23Yes, constable, you've gone above and beyond. I'll see myself out. Do you care to explain
04:33this? Do you? What's with all this posh stuff? Dust in bags. I just want some proper tea.
04:40Is there anything I can help you with? I can think of a few things. I, er, I only meant
04:47Leave the lad alone, Ruby. She's just my single mate. So, um, I just had an update from the
04:56police about a fire. They definitely think it's most likely to be arson. Any idea who?
05:02Yeah, they've got an idea. Who? Me. They've accused you? Well, they didn't have to, did
05:07they? You know they've been sus from the off because they upped the insurance right before
05:10the firm burnt down. Well, that's a coincidence, it's not evidence. Yeah, but it's still enough
05:14for them to feed it on me. Which they will, unless we can figure out who's actually to
05:17blame. Yeah, next Tuesday. Yeah, me too. Thanks,
05:24Bill. Alright, Samson? I hear you're in court next week. What about it? I just wanted to
05:30wish you the best of luck. I got everything crossed for you. Cheers. Is that Val you were
05:35talking to, by the way? Is she alright? Does she need anything? If she wants you to know,
05:38she'll tell you herself. Samson's right. You're siding with him? The lad facing prison?
05:46I'm siding with common sense. Keep giving Bill space, as long as she needs it. Siding
05:52with common sense? That's a first time for you, isn't it? Don't tell anyone. Oh, they
05:57won't blame me anyway. Has someone had enough of your lip? Oh, what, this? Looks quite good,
06:16doesn't it? Crazy boy's weekend. Could say I got smashed getting smashed. You should
06:21have come. I told you to stay clear. And I did, for a bit. Go me. Woo! Anyway, let's
06:26go get drunk. Do one. Oh, come on. Don't be so boring. You do know I'm facing prison?
06:31I've got my plea here, and it's next week. Yeah, I know. Which is why I wanted to give
06:35you a proper knees up. But you are keeping my name out of it, aren't you? Cos I don't
06:39like nasty surprises. There's no point of us both going down. Good. That's great. That's
06:45brilliant. Cos you know what I'm capable of, don't you? Actually, you don't. You've got
06:51no idea what I'm capable of, and that's what's exciting. Good luck, mate.
07:09Hello, Cinders. Mandy, putting you to work again? I like to help out here and there.
07:16Are you an ex-client she's just ducked out? No, I've, um... I've come to invite you to
07:22dinner. Why? And what's with the flowers? Well, they're freshly cut from the allotment
07:27to mark our, er, fresh start, and, er, well, a first date. Another one, so it's our second
07:33first date. Liam, what are you doing? I just want to do right by you this time. I want
07:41to pull out all the stops, because I owe you that. I know I've said some terrible things
07:45in the past, like you're the last person I'd want, but I want to get past all of that
07:50and give you everything. You know, I... Even... Even me.
08:00You can bog off, too. Sorry, did I do something wrong?
08:03Other than being a patronising git. I'm the last person you'd want, but you're willing
08:07to get past it because you owe me. I'm swooning here.
08:11I'm mucking this up. This is supposed to be part of our starting over, like you said.
08:15Starting over. As friends. Friends, but you said last night was pretty
08:20perfect. Perfect closure. A perfect ending. To us.
08:27Your drive yesterday, where did you go? Around.
08:31Oh, where exactly? Why?
08:34Why won't you say? Cos it was just a drive, like here and there.
08:38Did you see anyone? Did you see Rose?
08:41Did you? I was here.
08:42Yeah, when I got home. I know you went out before that. Where?
08:47Why are you deflecting, Will? Why are you?
08:50I'm not. Why did you lie to Swirling about Rose losing a bag on a bender? What was the
08:57point? To protect you.
08:58From what? From whatever you did.
09:00Me? I'm not the one who went AWOL and returned with near-broken knuckles.
09:05Dad?
09:09Oh. Hi, I didn't know you were here.
09:13I'm home. For good. Cos Mum's gone.
09:17That's not why. Well, you do know she's gone, right? She left
09:20me a voicemail. Something about not being cut out to be a mother. Which makes no sense.
09:26Cos she was great while she was here. She loved being a granny. I thought she loved
09:30being a mum, too. Oh, she didn't go through with it?
09:34No, love. She's gone. Well, why's the bag here?
09:38PC Swirling dropped it off earlier. There was some kind of brawl at a pub near the airport
09:42and she left it. Well, is a person there?
09:46No. Her passport?
09:48Sorry. Like he said. She's gone.
09:54So what have you done now?
10:05You just couldn't help yourself, could you? So what did you do? Pay her off?
10:17Kim did nothing. Oh, come off it, Dad. She has tried everything
10:22to see her off. Drugs. Threats. So go on, how did you finally break her?
10:28I did nothing. I swear. On what, Kim? Cos nothing is sacred to you.
10:33I couldn't stop. Kim was nowhere near it was me. Look, Rose left because I found her
10:39trying to break into the safe. I confronted her and she fled. Next thing I know, Swirling's
10:45here with her bag, banging on about cautioning her cos of her brawl.
10:49Her room? Cleared out.
10:53So you're saying she planned it. She tried to rob you and she planned to go.
10:58Sounds that way. Well, you drove her to it. You did everything
11:02to get rid of her. I mean, you even tried to spike her and ended up drugging me.
11:07No, don't... It was Rose who spiked your drink.
11:11You're lying. Why would she do that? Well, when I caught her red-handed, I gave
11:15her the chance to walk away with some cash, but only if she told me the truth. She said
11:22that she did it to try and put a wedge between me and Kim.
11:26And she succeeded. No, she... she cared about us. And the kids.
11:31She wanted us in her life, that... she wouldn't be so cruel.
11:37Don't waste another tear on that woman. I really believed her.
11:42You're better off without her. We all are.
11:53How did I get this so wrong again? So we kissed?
12:00Goodbye. We kissed goodbye. We did. We did. And I... I thought you got the
12:06wrong end of the stick. But you didn't, so we're both on the same page. Great.
12:12Why didn't you just set me straight? Because I'd messed you around so badly, I'd
12:16been so cruel, unforgivably so... So you decided to date me out of guilt?
12:21No! Not exactly. I told you that I didn't want you to be happy, but I do. So when it
12:28seemed like you wanted me in order to be happy, I thought I'd be a... a stand-up guy.
12:36You are not the catch you think you are, Dr. Romance. Yes, you have been unforgivably
12:40cruel. But I forgave you, even though I know you'll always be clouded by my past. And you
12:46were gonna lead me on? Again? That's not kindness, it's cowardice.
12:52I'm so sorry. You always are. Just follow your flowers
12:57and chuck yourself out. Of course.
13:03And Liam, I will get my happy again. And not because I'm old or someone takes pity, but
13:11because I deserve it.
13:22That'll be 24.60, please, mate.
13:27When you're ready.
13:29Hello? Tom.
13:31Sorry, mate, what's up?
13:35You, er, you gonna pay for this or just keep me hanging?
13:39Alright, mate. Peak hour, this.
13:42Sorry, man, I'm only messing me up.
13:45Yeah, today's definitely the day for it.
13:47Tom there! You fancy a cheeky pie?
13:50Er, where?
13:52The pub.
13:54What, full of Belle's family? No tar?
13:56You alright? What, apart from the breakdown of my marriage?
13:59Nicola's left me for good in the past, and I've left her, but we always found a way back
14:06to each other, because on the day that we made our vows, the love was there, just like
14:13it was for you and Belle.
14:15We vowed to be together forever, till death do us part.
14:19And you might still be, but it has to be on her terms and in her time. You need to give
14:25her as much space as she wants. You get that?
14:29I do. I know exactly what I need to do.
14:43Shouldn't have.
14:44No, you're right. I shouldn't have. It can bin them.
14:47Oh, well, I thought you'd be a bit more cheerful.
14:49Heard that Ella did the walk of shame from yours this morning.
14:52Oh, she had nothing to be ashamed of.
14:54Yeah, just my clumsy way of asking if you two are back on track.
14:58Nope. Nope, not now, and not ever.
15:02I'm sorry.
15:03Oh, don't be. Don't be, it's a good thing, because I bungled it so badly that I have
15:09no right in good conscience to anything resembling a relationship ever again.
15:17Hiya. Chas, would I be able to clock off early tonight?
15:21More Fight Club?
15:24What was Josh on about earlier?
15:25What? Josh was back again?
15:27Right. It was nothing.
15:28Didn't look like nothing.
15:29Did he get over?
15:30No, he's long gone.
15:31What did he want? Is he coming back?
15:33No.
15:34Well, how do you know?
15:35Oh, come on, Samson. The least you can do is fess up about why he was here.
15:39Right, he was just checking. I was keeping his name out of it still.
15:42That's all. It was no big deal.
15:44No big deal?
15:46I just threw my job in, mate, because I feel sick every time I go back in there.
15:51I know that if he'd have had the chance, he'd have done worse.
15:53No, all right. You're all clear of him now.
15:55He was just here. He seems the type to bear grudges, come at me when I least expect it.
15:59He won't.
16:00And you can swear to that, can you?
16:03Even if he doesn't, mate, I'm going to keep looking over my shoulder now, aren't I?
16:06I thought I was safe in this village to be me, but thanks to you,
16:09he's free to come here whenever he wants.
16:12You're me.
16:13Right, he's not my mate. Not anymore.
16:16You're still protecting him, though, aren't you?
16:18I'm no snitch.
16:19And as if you'd be OK me dobbing to the police.
16:21I'm not OK with you letting that scum off scot-free, though.
16:24Are you?
16:30She really cleared it out.
16:32Forget her.
16:34You must have hated me for getting it wrong about spiking my drink.
16:39I was awful.
16:41It's done. She's gone.
16:44For how long?
16:45For good.
16:47Hopefully.
16:48Hopefully.
16:49All you need to worry about now are those kids of yours.
16:52You and me.
16:53Well,
16:55we've got time to fix things.
16:57Thank you, Kim.
17:06Things have worked out well for you.
17:08Well,
17:09that woman turned you against me.
17:11Now, Dawn, I understand, but you?
17:14You know me better.
17:16And now you're accusing me of getting rid of her altogether.
17:20Because I do know you, Kim.
17:23I know you like your revenge.
17:24Not when I've already won.
17:27Rose was gone.
17:29And no way Dawn will forgive her for spiking that drink.
17:32Only one way to make sure that she doesn't have the chance.
17:36I know what you're doing.
17:38Making me defend myself so as I don't have time to doubt you.
17:41Well, I do doubt you, Will.
17:44You've bruises on your knuckles.
17:46How many times?
17:48I hit the kitchen worktop.
17:49You have been stacking lie upon lie.
17:52Not even bothering to keep them consistent.
17:55Because I was panicking.
17:56Obviously.
17:57Why?
17:58To cover up for you for what you've done.
17:59Deflecting again.
18:00Why would I want to hurt Rose?
18:02Because something happened between you.
18:05No.
18:06Liar.
18:07We didn't do anything.
18:08But you're willing to believe that I would kill someone
18:10over a secret fling.
18:12Yes.
18:13Because that would mean the end of us.
18:17And you know that.
18:24How about Nate?
18:25I mean, if anyone's got a reason to come after me, it's him.
18:28Sure.
18:29He's a hater.
18:30Got a load of them.
18:32A lifetime's worth.
18:33Oh, cheers.
18:35What are you going to do?
18:36Chase after everyone you've ever wronged
18:38or who's wronged you?
18:39Chase after everyone you've ever wronged
18:41or who's wronged you?
18:42Yeah.
18:43If that's what it takes.
18:44Why waste your time?
18:45Because I'm on the hook for arson.
18:47I could go to prison.
18:48Sorry.
18:49Well, don't you get it?
18:50They have to prove it first.
18:52And they can't.
18:53Well, you seem pretty certain about that.
18:54What?
18:55Do you know something that I don't?
18:56No.
18:57It's just...
18:58It's doing my head in not knowing who came after me.
19:01And if they're coming again.
19:04Caleb.
19:07This is a blip.
19:09A blip?
19:10Yeah.
19:11Someone lashed out.
19:12They are long gone by now.
19:13The police have no idea who they are.
19:15None of us do.
19:17There's no point trying to figure it out.
19:19Right.
19:20So what are we meant to do?
19:21We crack on.
19:22Knowing that we're innocent
19:23and the police have no way of proving otherwise.
19:26So we just crack on?
19:27Yeah.
19:28It's all we can do.
19:29Drink your wine.
19:39We're good.
19:46Matthew mentioned that you had his back earlier.
19:48I'll always have his back.
19:51Even if we don't agree with how that looks.
19:54I'll always do right by us.
20:09Right.
20:27Right.
20:28I didn't touch Rose.
20:30Do you believe me?
20:31I didn't touch Rose.
20:32Do you believe me?
20:33Does it matter?
20:34All that matters is that Dawn can't find out
20:37how cruel Rose's intentions were.
20:39She already has an inkling.
20:41Yeah, but any more details
20:42and it'll just open a whole can of worms.
20:44So we keep lying?
20:46I am sick of the lies, Will.
20:49Do you want this to work?
20:50Between us?
20:52Yes.
20:53Right then.
20:54I choose to believe
20:55that you didn't have anything to do
20:56with Rose's disappearance.
20:58Do you believe me?
21:01Did you cheat on me with Rose?
21:03No.
21:04Then I choose to trust you.
21:07But we need to get our story straight.
21:10And, Will,
21:13don't make me regret it.
21:15As you know,
21:16I don't do well with disappointment.
