00:00Hi. What's happening with Samson?
00:18He's been at the police station all night, waiting to be charged.
00:24Arriving at court in handcuffs isn't going to look good. How's Sam taking it?
00:29He didn't sleep last night for worrying. He's gone out now for a walk to get some fresh air.
00:34He's trying to pretend like it's a normal day, when it's anything but.
00:43Came to wish you luck. It sounds like you're going to need a bit more than that.
00:49Hello?
00:51Samson? What's happened? Are they letting you out?
00:55No, but they said I could call you. I have got some better news.
00:58We could all do with some of that right now.
01:00The police have got Josh and Eric's video doorbell.
01:03He's said enough to incriminate himself about what happened to Matty.
01:06So he's been arrested and he's going to get charged too.
01:09That's great. At least I can't lump it all on you now.
01:13What's going to happen with him pleading?
01:16I don't know yet. The solicitor will be in later.
01:19But at least Josh will have to take his share of the blame.
01:22Right, we'll see you in court then. They'll let us talk then.
01:27Yeah, I've got to go now, Dad.
01:33The police are charging Josh. Got new evidence on him.
01:38Hopefully they'll see that Samson wouldn't have got into this mess if he hadn't got caught up with that scumbag.
01:44Do you think that means they'll postpone the sentencing until they sort the new evidence out?
01:49I don't know.
01:51You'll probably find out in court. Look, I'll leave you to get ready.
01:55I meant to ask how are things with Will now?
01:58Well, I noticed he'd been sleeping in the spare room.
02:01Oh, he hasn't been too well.
02:12Must get suited and booted for court. I want to make a good impression.
02:25Safe to come in or are you going to chuck another glass at me?
02:27What?
02:31Forget it. Let's just pretend yesterday never happened.
02:34Glad to.
02:36You're the one that's been difficult lately, not me.
02:39Maybe.
02:41Samson's got much more to worry about today than either of us.
02:45Well, he deserves everything he gets.
02:47Did you throw away the key?
02:49Well, at least he was trying to make up for it by making Josh confess.
02:53But you just made everything even worse.
02:56All right now, so now this is all my fault?
02:59Well, if you hadn't taught him how to fight like that, then he wouldn't have ended up being arrested.
03:03He was terrified about going inside. I was just trying to teach him how to defend himself.
03:09Saving him by turning him into another thug, another thing this family doesn't need.
03:14Do you know what? I thought he'd show a little more empathy.
03:17You know, after Matty, the lad's looking at a very long stretch, you know.
03:21That's what prison is for, isn't it, Cain? Punishment.
03:24Let's hope it'll teach him his lesson.
03:26Are you sure you're not the one who grasped him up?
03:28I told you, it wasn't me.
03:30I would have done, though, if someone hadn't beat me to it.
03:33I don't like it when you're like this. What is wrong with you?
03:44Hey, good to see you working back here again.
03:46My bank balance will be pleased, too.
03:48Couldn't afford to be unemployed much longer.
03:50Eric should be pleased at all.
03:51You'll bring a lot more customers than his grumpy face ever could.
03:54Hey, I heard that.
03:55Brenda, please.
03:58Stop calling.
03:59That's the third time she's phoned this morning.
04:01Whatever it is, it must be urgent.
04:03Brenda, I will sort things out as soon as I've got some time.
04:08Please.
04:10Brenda's not going to give up, you know.
04:12What have you done?
04:14More like what he hasn't done.
04:16She thinks the Dingles are going to be angry
04:19when they find out that I've handed over the doorbell footage to the police.
04:24She wants me to lie low for a while.
04:27Samson's already in trouble, so they can hardly blame you.
04:30That's what I said to her.
04:32I said, this is my shop.
04:34I need to be working it, not hiding away.
04:37Yeah, but I work here now, so it's no problem if you want to go home.
04:40And the rest will probably do you good with your Parkinson's.
04:43Rest?
04:46I'm not an invalid.
04:48We all need help sometimes, Eric.
04:50Plus, you'd be doing me a favour if you let me do more hours.
04:53And it'll be my way of saying thank you.
04:56We both know we haven't been getting on for a while.
04:59What's around the bridge?
05:01It doesn't stop me from being grateful that you've put it behind you
05:04and given me a job when I really needed one.
05:07Victoria, there is no reason for you to be grateful.
05:12I gave you the job to make up for a bad thing that I've done.
05:17What are you talking about?
05:21I made Jay sack you.
05:27I thought I would have at least heard something by now.
05:30You know how long-winded those judges can be.
05:33Even if they postpone the sentencing,
05:35we all know it's going to get sent down in the end, don't we?
05:38I know, but it's Esther I'm worried about.
05:40At least she would have had her dad around for a bit longer.
05:43I've always tried to be her dad to her, and I'm going nowhere.
05:47Yeah, but Samson's her real dad.
05:51And now she'll only get to see him when she visits him in prison.
05:55I still don't think you should be taking her with you to prison.
05:58She doesn't need him if she's got me.
06:01Do you know what? Whatever happens,
06:03the rest of the family will always be here for you and Esther.
06:07You knew how important that job was to me,
06:10and how much I've been struggling for money since.
06:12How could you do that? Well, you're right.
06:15And I'm truly sorry that I blamed you for David and Jacob.
06:19Please don't tell Jacob about this.
06:22So you're ready to admit the truth to me,
06:24but you don't want your grandson finding out?
06:26David has already walked away.
06:28I would hate for Jacob to do the same.
06:30Look, I tried to make things right.
06:35I know I've just made things a lot worse.
06:39And I suppose you think playing the Parkinson's card now
06:42is going to make me go easy on you?
06:44I would never do that. Really?
06:46Because I never thought you'd let Jay put a piece of glass in a pizza
06:49so that I'd lose my job.
06:51I don't know what you're capable of any more.
06:53I am guilty of a lot of things, but I would never do that.
06:57Believe me, I wish that I'd never told anybody about my Parkinson's.
07:01People treat me like I'm an invalid,
07:06not like a normal person.
07:09Possibly I behave recklessly because I was trying to prove
07:13that I was still the same man, still.
07:17That's it, in me.
07:20Well, even if I did believe that,
07:24well, even if I did believe that,
07:26I don't think I can ever forgive you.
07:36Can I help with that?
07:38I doubt you'd be much better at it.
07:41And you have more important things to deal with.
07:44What do you mean?
07:45Well, at least Rose helped out when she was here.
07:48Now she's gone and left Dawn again.
07:50It'd be nice if you and Kim helped out a bit more.
07:53Look, I've got another lot of chemo coming up with Evan,
07:56and Clemmie keeps asking when's Rose coming back.
07:58Maybe help with that.
08:00Look, we could just tell them that she's on a long holiday.
08:04That is not going to stop them from asking when she's coming back.
08:08Is there a problem?
08:13He thinks we should help out more with Dawn.
08:16Maybe we have been too wound up with our own problems.
08:19Cos there's still too many unanswered questions.
08:23Look, I think we should just draw a line under that and start again.
08:27That's not really my style, is it?
08:29Have you got any better ideas?
08:31Yeah, face up to where you've got us.
08:34There's still things I can't forgive or forget.
08:37We've both made mistakes.
08:40A mistake is forgetting someone's birthday.
08:43Accusing your wife of drugging your daughter and murdering your ex
08:46is a bit more than that.
08:48Look, I'm trying to save our marriage here.
08:50You can't stand there and pretend that you've never done any bad things.
08:53Whatever I've done, I have never betrayed you.
08:57I wonder if you can say the same.
09:06So now Josh has been arrested for his part in it all.
09:10You don't reckon that means they might go easy on Samson, do you?
09:13Mm, can't do him any harm.
09:15If he's an old-school judge, he'll throw the book at him.
09:18Well, they're hoping they'll postpone the sentencing
09:21till they've made the case against Josh.
09:23I doubt it.
09:25Whatever happens, Samson will pay the price in the end.
09:28Don't say that.
09:29I'm just telling it like it is.
09:30Yeah, well, I'm sure he never meant to hurt anyone.
09:35What happened?
09:37Samson?
09:39Samson won't be on for a long time.
09:42The judge has sentenced him to four years.
09:56It's even more than the solicitor was expecting.
09:59Maybe they're making an example of him.
10:01Look, will he be able to appeal his sentence?
10:04Best bet is he keeps his nose clean now whilst he's inside,
10:07then hopefully they'll let him out sooner with good behaviour.
10:10Why is Sam not with you?
10:11He's still hoping to talk to Samson.
10:13He's going to ask him if he can have a few minutes with him
10:16before they lock him up.
10:17Well, surely they'll grant him that much.
10:19I never dreamed he'd get sent down for so long.
10:21And he's still got to face the assault charges against Josh.
10:24That's going to make things even worse.
10:27Well, I'm sure pleading guilty must have helped,
10:29but then he went and got himself involved in that stupid fight.
10:32I just don't know how the police managed to turn up so quickly.
10:35He must have had a tip-off.
10:44I wasn't expecting you.
10:46Well, life is full of surprises.
10:49I really need a friend right now and I chose you.
10:52Well, I am flattered. Come on in.
11:02Am I interrupting something?
11:04No, I'll sort it out in a bit.
11:07Go on, what's up?
11:09So you know how broke I've been recently
11:11and then all of a sudden Eric offers me a job at the shop.
11:14That's good, though, isn't it?
11:16Except he's just admitted that he only did it
11:19because he got Jay to sack me as revenge for me dumping Jacob.
11:22What?
11:23Eric told Jay to fire me.
11:26Someone needs to sort that creep out.
11:29More worried about me right now, if I'm being honest.
11:31I can't afford to be unemployed again.
11:35Excuse me?
11:37My life is falling apart over here,
11:39but if you've got more interesting things to deal with...
11:42No, you're right.
11:44I'm sorry.
11:46Honestly, Vic, I do want to help you,
11:48so just tell me what I need to do.
11:50I don't know.
11:52I was hoping you'd have some brilliant ideas.
11:56Hmm.
12:01You were there when Samson got arrested
12:03and you seemed pretty pleased about it.
12:05I was.
12:07I think he got what he deserved.
12:09And maybe you made sure of that by calling the police.
12:11You're wrong, Lydia.
12:13It wasn't me.
12:15Why should I believe you?
12:17Well, I believe her.
12:19Because I know my wife.
12:21Look, she's told you how she feels
12:23and I can look somewhere else for your grass.
12:25I will. And when I find them, they'll regret it.
12:28Samson's just been sent to prison for four years
12:30and all you lot can do is just argue amongst yourselves.
12:33It's like you don't seem to care that Esther Ill has started school
12:35by the time her dad and her grandad comes out.
12:37Look, there's nothing we can do about it now.
12:41We need to move on and start making the best of things.
12:44For Esther's sake.
12:46He's right, Amelia.
12:48Me and you can still give her a good life.
12:50I promise.
12:53Why don't you order a takeaway?
12:55My treat.
12:57Start making the plans for the three of us.
12:59Best offer you're going to get today, love?
13:01Yeah, I guess so.
13:06I know it's right.
13:08You know, we should maybe start thinking about
13:10how we can help each other through this mess.
13:13Sam's definitely going to be needing all our help.
13:15Yeah, and so is Lydia.
13:17And Amelia.
13:19Maybe we should sort them first
13:21before we start looking for new villains.
13:24A lot of me just wants to tell him
13:26where he can stick his stupid job.
13:28Yeah, but that might make you feel good for five minutes,
13:30but then you're back to having no money to pay your bills.
13:32And it's not just that.
13:34He says he wishes he'd never told people about his Parkinson's
13:37and that he doesn't want them feeling sorry for him.
13:39And I guess I do.
13:41So maybe I should try and forgive him.
13:44Do you think you can?
13:46It won't be easy, because every time I look at him,
13:48I'm going to be reminded of what he did
13:50and then just get angry again.
13:52Right, so then we need to find you another job.
13:54Hmm. That hasn't been so easy either.
13:57Yeah, but maybe it will be now.
13:59Because we know that Jay and Paula
14:01had plotted together to get rid of you.
14:03And we know that Jay was the one
14:05who put the broken glass in the pizza.
14:07Well, if that got out, it wouldn't be good for either of them, would it?
14:09Mm-mm.
14:11So now you know that, why don't you ask for your job back?
14:13And maybe a cheeky pay rise too.
14:15Ooh, good thinking.
14:18Ooh, good thinking.
14:20I know.
14:24What is so fascinating on the...
14:27The dating app?
14:29I thought you would have given up on them after what happened last time.
14:31You were robbed.
14:33Yes, I know, but maybe this time I'll be a bit luckier.
14:35You're crazy.
14:37Well, it's quicker than hanging around a load of bars, isn't it?
14:39Well, just be safe and careful, OK?
14:42Vic, I appreciate you caring for me,
14:44but I can look after myself.
14:46I hope so.
14:48Keep me updated.
14:49Mm, probably won't.
14:55Good news.
14:57I managed to talk some sense into them all.
14:59Really?
15:01Yeah.
15:03Families ought to help each other out, not fight.
15:07It's like what you said.
15:09Nothing's going to bring Samson back for years now.
15:13Look,
15:15I know you're upset,
15:17but we're going to be OK.
15:19We don't need him.
15:21We never really did.
15:25We can start planning it tonight.
15:27So what did you order?
15:29Pizza or Chinese?
15:31Neither.
15:33Surprise, is it?
15:35I didn't order anything when I saw the last number you'd called.
15:38The police.
15:40You grasped on Samson, didn't you?
15:46How you doing, mate?
15:48Not very well.
15:50Seem to be permanently in doghouse.
15:52Join the club.
15:54I can't count how many times Nico's been mad at me.
15:57Making up's the best part.
15:59I doubt making up is even on Kim's agenda.
16:02What have you done?
16:04Kim might have misunderstood the relationship between me and Rose.
16:08But it is just a misunderstanding.
16:11I want to help you, mate,
16:13but you'll have to at least be honest with me.
16:17There might have been a kiss, but it meant nothing.
16:21If she even suspects it, you're in deep trouble.
16:24Well, maybe not. Rose is gone now.
16:26I'm hoping that if I keep my head down for a while,
16:29that Kim will forget all about it.
16:31Big mistake.
16:33The longer you let her brood on it,
16:35the worse it can get.
16:37The longer you let her brood on it, the worse it can get.
16:40Oh, thanks. I thought you wanted to help.
16:42I do, but if I were you,
16:44I'd bite the bullet and tell her the truth.
16:47That'd be madness.
16:49And I seem to remember you and Nicholas
16:51splitting up over something like this with Mandy.
16:53Yeah, but now we're back together.
16:56We're closer than ever.
16:58Trust me, it works.
17:01You admit that you lied,
17:03but you say that you did it to protect her.
17:06Now you realise you've been an idiot
17:09and being honest together is the best way forward.
17:12And that actually worked with Nicholas?
17:14There might need to be chocolates or flowers involved.
17:19In the end,
17:21we both know that
17:23Kim loves you like Nico loves me.
17:26So deep down,
17:28she'll want this to be over as much as you do.
17:33How could you do it?
17:36The way you were going at him,
17:38you could have killed him if you hadn't have been stopped.
17:41So you were saving Josh?
17:43Why?
17:45He's just some nasty little creep.
17:47They're both dangerous.
17:49They need keeping off the streets.
17:51So you're making our streets safe now?
17:54Our little superhero.
17:56Funny, that.
17:57Seeing as it was you that the police were after
17:59for some kind of stalker not long ago.
18:01Yeah.
18:02And I got punished for it. I learnt my lesson.
18:06It's time Samson learns his.
18:08Stop lying!
18:09This has got no to do with justice.
18:11You hated Samson, so you wanted rid of him.
18:14Well, he's given me enough reason, hasn't he?
18:17Do you not remember how he blackmailed me?
18:19How he said he could take you at any time he wants.
18:22You wanted Esther's dad to have a longer sentence
18:24so he could stay out of my life and hers.
18:26For your own good.
18:28He doesn't care about you, Amelia.
18:31He only cares about himself.
18:34I can look after you and Esther so much better than he ever can.
18:37No, you can't. But I...
18:39I've heard enough. Get out!
18:48I'm really sorry I let you down, Dad.
18:50I've been a rubbish son, haven't I?
18:54The blame lies with me.
18:58I'm ashamed of where you were going, I'll admit that.
19:02But you've turned that around now.
19:05Really?
19:07You've faced up to what you did.
19:10And you're ready to take the consequences.
19:14I'm proud of you for that.
19:19I just wish you weren't going away for so long.
19:23I'm just going to have to get through it.
19:26Cain taught me how to look after myself.
19:29Don't go getting yourself into fights unless you have to.
19:34Because if you keep your head down, you could be out in two.
19:37We could be here.
19:40It still seems like ages.
19:44You've just got to take it one day at a time.
19:50Sometimes...
19:52they offer you job training for when you get out.
19:56If they do...
19:58If they do, jump at the chance.
20:02You're OK, Dad?
20:04No way. Training to be a Spark turned his life around.
20:09You getting a skill could do the same.
20:14That'd be great if it happened.
20:19You are a good lad at heart.
20:22I know you are.
20:24You just need the chance to show everyone else that.
20:29Time's up.
20:31Can we not have a bit longer?
20:33I'm sorry.
20:35I've got to go, Dad.
20:42I love you, son.
20:46I love you too.
20:53I love you too.
