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.
00:47Yeah.
00:49Hello?
00:50Yeah, hi, Debbie, it's me.
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. They've got new evidence on him.
01:38Hopefully they'll see that Samson wouldn't have got into this mess
01:41if he hadn't got caught up with that scumbag.
01:44Do you think that means they'll postpone the sentencing
01:47until 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?
01:58I 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.
02:47They should 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,
03:01then he wouldn't have ended up being arrested.
03:03He was terrified about going inside.
03:05I was just trying to teach him how to defend himself.
03:08Saving him by turning him into another thug,
03:11another thing this family doesn't need.
03:13Do you know, I thought he'd show a little more empathy.
03:16You know, after Matty, the lad's looking at a very long stretch, you know?
03:19Good.
03:21That's what prison is for, isn't it, Cain?
03:23Punishment. Let'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 go unemployed much longer.
03:50Eric should be pleased at all.
03:52You'll bring a lot more customers than his grumpy face ever could.
03:54Hey, I heard that.
03:56Brenda, please.
03:58Stop calling.
04:00That's the third time she's phoned this morning.
04:02Whatever it is, it must be urgent.
04:04Brenda, I will sort things out as soon as I've got some time.
04:08Please.
04:11Brenda's not going to give up, you know.
04:13What have you done? More 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.
04:55We both know we haven't been getting on for a while.
04:59What's wrong with the bridge?
05:01It doesn't stop me from being grateful that you've put it behind you
05:04and giving 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.
05:18What are you talking about?
05:21I made Jay sack you.
05:27I thought I would've 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 that he's gonna 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've had her dad around for a bit longer.
05:43I've always tried to be a dad to her, and I'm going nowhere.
05:47Yeah, but Samson's a 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.
06:09You knew how important that job was to me
06:12and how much I've been struggling for money since.
06:14How could you do that?
06:15Well, you're right.
06:17And I'm truly sorry that I blamed you for David and Jacob.
06:21Please don't tell Jacob about this.
06:24So you're ready to admit the truth to me,
06:26but you don't want your grandson finding out?
06:28David has already walked away.
06:30I would hate for Jacob to do the same.
06:34Look...
06:36..I tried to make things right.
06:39I know I've just made things a lot worse.
06:42And I suppose you think playing the Parkinson's card now
06:45is going to make me go easy on you?
06:47I would never do that. Really?
06:49Because I never thought you'd let Jay put a piece of glass in a pizza
06:52so that I'd lose my job.
06:54I don't know what you're capable of any more.
06:56I am guilty of a lot of things, but I would never do that.
07:00Believe me, I wish that I'd never told anybody about my Parkinson's.
07:05People treat me like I'm an invalid,
07:10not like a normal person.
07:13Possibly I behave recklessly because I was trying to prove
07:17that I was still the same man.
07:19Still...
07:21..has it in me.
07:23Well, even if I did believe that,
07:26I don't think I can ever forgive you.
07:35Can I help with that?
07:37I doubt you'd be much better at it.
07:40And you have more important things to deal with.
07:43What do you mean?
07:45Well, at least Rose helped out when she was here.
07:47Now she's gone and left Dawn again.
07:49It'd be nice if you and Kim helped out a bit more.
07:52Look, I've got another lot of chemo coming up with Evan,
07:55and Clemmie keeps asking when's Rose coming back.
07:57Maybe you help with that.
07:59Look, we could just tell him that she's on a long holiday.
08:03That is not going to stop them from asking when she's coming back.
08:07Is there a problem?
08:09No.
08:12He thinks we should help out more with Dawn.
08:15I mean, maybe 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
08:45and murdering your ex is a bit more than that.
08:47Look, 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.
09:02So now Josh has been arrested for his part in it all.
09:06You don't reckon that means they might go easy on Samson, do you?
09:10Can't do him any harm.
09:12If he's an old-school judge, he'll throw the book at him.
09:15Well, they're hoping they'll postpone the sentencing
09:18till they've made the case against Josh.
09:20I doubt it.
09:22Whatever happens, Samson will pay the price in the end.
09:25Don't say that.
09:26I'm just telling it like it is.
09:28Don't say that.
09:29I'm just telling it like it is.
09:30Well, I'm sure he never meant to hurt anyone.
09:35What happened?
09:37Where's Samson?
09:39Samson won't be on for a long time.
09:42The judge has sentenced him to four years.
09:46It's even more than the solicitor was expecting.
09:50Maybe they're making an example of him.
09:52Look, he'll be able to appeal his sentence.
09:55Best bet is he keeps his nose clean now whilst he's inside,
09:58then hopefully they'll let him out sooner.
10:00He could behave here.
10:01Why's Sam not with you?
10:03He's still hoping to talk to Samson.
10:05He's going to ask him if he can have a few words with him.
10:08I don't think he's going to.
10:10I don't think he's going to.
10:12He's going to talk to Samson.
10:14He'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.
10:22And he's still got to face the assault charges against Josh.
10:25That'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.
10:33I just don't know how the police managed to turn up so quickly.
10:36They must have had a tip-off.
10:43I wasn't expecting you.
10:45Well, life is full of surprises.
10:48I really need a friend right now and I chose you.
10:51Well, I am flattered. Come on in.
11:01Am I interrupting something?
11:03Mm-hm.
11:04No, no, I'll sort it out in a bit.
11:06Go on, what's up?
11:08So you know how broke I've been recently
11:10and then all of a sudden Eric offers me a job at the shop.
11:13Mm-hm. That's good, though, isn't it?
11:15Except he's just admitted that he only did it
11:18because he got Jay to sack me as revenge for me dumping Jacob.
11:21Word!
11:22Eric told Jay to fire me.
11:25Well, somebody needs to sort that creep out.
11:28I'm more worried about me right now, if I'm being honest.
11:30I can't afford to be unemployed again.
11:32Mm.
11:34Excuse me, my life is falling apart over here,
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, so just tell me what I need to do.
11:50I don't know.
11:52I was hoping you'd have some brilliant ideas.
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.
12:23Now go look somewhere else for your grass.
12:25I will.
12:26And 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 all the start at school
12:35by the time her dad and her grandad comes out.
12:38Look, 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.
12:45He's right, Amelia.
12:47Me and you can still give her a good life.
12:50I promise.
12:53Why don't you order a takeaway?
12:55My treat.
12:56Start making the plans for the three of us.
12:59Best offer you're gonna get today, love.
13:02Yeah, I guess so.
13:07Mo's right.
13:09You know, we should maybe start thinking about how we can help each other through this mess.
13:13Sam's definitely gonna be needing all our help.
13:16Yeah, and so is Lydia.
13:18And Amelia.
13:19Maybe we should sort them first before we start looking for new villains.
13:28A lot of me just wants to tell him where he can stick his stupid job.
13:31Yeah, but that might make you feel good for five minutes,
13:33but then you're back to having no money to pay your bills.
13:35And it's not just that.
13:37He says he wishes he'd never told people about his Parkinson's.
13:40Like he doesn't want them feeling sorry for him.
13:42And I guess I do.
13:44So maybe I should try and forgive him.
13:47Do you think you can?
13:48It won't be easy.
13:49Because every time I look at him, I'm gonna be reminded of what he did
13:52and then just get angry again.
13:55Right, so then we need to find you another job.
13:57Hmm.
13:58That hasn't been so easy either.
14:00Yeah, but maybe it will be now.
14:02Because we know that Jay and Paula had plotted together to get rid of you.
14:05Mm.
14:06And we know that Jay was the one who put the broken glass in the pizza.
14:09Well, if that got out, it wouldn't be good for either of them, would it?
14:12Mm-mm.
14:13So now you know that, why don't you ask for your job back?
14:16And maybe a cheeky pay rise too.
14:18Ooh, good thinking.
14:21I know.
14:25What is so fascinating on the...
14:28The dating app?
14:29I thought you would've given up on them after what happened last time.
14:32You were robbed.
14:33Yes, I know, but maybe this time I'll be a bit luckier.
14:36You're crazy.
14:37Well, it's quicker than hanging around a load of bars, innit?
14:40Well, just be safe and careful, okay?
14:43Vic, I appreciate you caring for me, but I can look after myself.
14:46I hope so.
14:48Keep me updated.
14:49Mm, probably won't.
14:55Good news.
14:57We should talk some sense into them all.
14:59Really?
15:01Yeah.
15:02Families ought to help each other out, not fight.
15:06Is that what you said?
15:09Nothing's going to bring Samson back for years now.
15:13Look, I know you're upset, but we're gonna be okay.
15:18We don't need him.
15:20We never really did.
15:23We can start planning it tonight.
15:26So what did you order? Pizza or Chinese?
15:29Neither.
15:31Surprise, is it?
15:33I didn't order anything when I saw the last number you'd called.
15:36The police.
15:38You grasped on Samson, didn't you?
15:47How you doing, mate?
15:49Not very well.
15:51Seem to be permanently dog-housed.
15:53Join the club.
15:55I can't count how many times Nico's been mad at me.
15:58Making up's the best part.
16:01I doubt making up is even on Kim's agenda.
16:04What have you done?
16:06Kim might have misunderstood the relationship between me and Rose.
16:10But it is just a misunderstanding.
16:13I want to help you, mate,
16:15but you'll have to at least be honest with me.
16:19There might have been a kiss, but it meant nothing.
16:23If she even suspects it, you're in deep trouble.
16:26Well, maybe not. Rose is gone now.
16:29I'm hoping that if I keep my head down for a while,
16:31that Kim will forget all about it.
16:33Big mistake.
16:35The longer you let her brood on it, the worse it can get.
16:37Oh, thanks.
16:40I do, but if I were you,
16:42I'd bite the bullet and tell her the truth.
16:45That'd be madness.
16:47And I seem to remember you and Nicholas
16:49splitting up over something like this with Mandy.
16:51Yeah, but now we're back together, we're closer than ever.
16:56Trust me, it works.
16:59You admit that you lied,
17:01but you say that you did it to protect her.
17:04Now you realise you've been an idiot
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, we 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 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.
18:02Yeah, and I got punished for it.
18:04I 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.
18:35I can look after you and Esther so much better than he ever can.
18:38No, you can't.
18:39But I...
18:40I've heard enough.
18:41Get out!
18:48I'm really sorry I let you down, Dad.
18:51I've been a rubbish son, haven't I?
18:55The blame lies with me.
18:58I would have shamed the way you were going, I'll admit that.
19:03But you've turned that around now.
19:06Really?
19:08You've faced up to what you did.
19:11And you're ready to take the consequences.
19:15I'm proud of you for that.
19:20I just wish you weren't going away for so long.
19:24I'm just going to have to get through it.
19:28Cade taught me how to look after myself.
19:31Don't go getting yourself into fights unless you have to.
19:36Because if you keep your head down, you could be out in two.
19:39We could behave you.
19:42It still seems like ages.
19:46You've just got to take it one day at a time.
19:52Sometimes...
19:54they offer you job training for when you get out.
19:58If they do, jump at the chance.
20:02You're OK, Dad?
20:04No way.
20:05Training 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.
