00:30Hi. What's happening with Samson?
00:43He's been at the police station all night, waiting to be charged.
00:48Arriving at court in handcuffs isn't going to look good. How's Sam taking it?
00:53He didn't sleep last night for worrying. He's gone out now for a walk to get some fresh
00:57air. He's trying to pretend like it's a normal day, when it's anything but.
01:04I came to wish you luck. It sounds like you're going to need a bit more than that.
01:11Yeah. Hello?
01:12Yeah, hi, Debbie.
01:13Samson? What's happened? Are they letting you out?
01:14No, but they said I could call you. I have got some better news.
01:15We could all do with some of that right now. The police have got Josh and Eric's video
01:16doorbell. He said he'd call you.
01:17Oh, that's great.
01:18I've got to go.
01:19Bye.

02:49Bye.
02:50Bye.
02:51Bye.
02:52Bye.
02:53Forget it. Let's just pretend yesterday never happened.
02:58I'm glad to. You're the one that's been difficult lately, not me.
03:03Maybe. Samson's got much more to worry about today than either of us.
03:09Well, he deserves everything he gets. He should throw away the key.
03:13Well, at least he was trying to make up for it by making Josh confess.
03:17But you just made everything even worse.
03:21All right, now, so now this is all my fault?
03:23Well, if you hadn't taught him how to fight like that,
03:26then he wouldn't have ended up being arrested.
03:28He was terrified about going inside.
03:29I was just trying to teach him how to defend himself.
03:33Saving him by turning him into another thug,
03:36another thing this family doesn't need.
03:38Do you know what? I thought you'd show a little more empathy.
03:41You know, after Matty, the lad's looking at a very long stretch, you know?
03:44Good. That's what prison is for, isn't it, Cain?
03:48Punishment. Let's hope it'll teach him his lesson.
03:51Are you sure you're not the one who grasped him up?
03:53I told you, it wasn't me.
03:55I would have done, though, if someone hadn't beat me to it.
03:58I don't like it when you're like this. What is wrong with you?
04:08Hey, good to see you working back here again.
04:11My bank balance will be pleased, too.
04:12Couldn't afford to be unemployed much longer.
04:14Eric should be pleased at all.
04:16You'll bring a lot more customers than his grumpy face ever could.
04:18Hey, I heard that.
04:20Brenda, please.
04:22Stop calling.
04:24That's the third time she's phoned this morning.
04:26Whatever it is, it must be urgent.
04:28Brenda, I will sort things out
04:31as soon as I've got some time. Please.
04:35Brenda's not going to give up, you know.
04:37What have you done? More like what he hasn't done.
04:40SHE LAUGHS
04:41She thinks the Dingles are going to be angry
04:43when they find out that I've, uh,
04:45handed over the doorbell footage to the police.
04:48SHE LAUGHS
04:49She wants me to lie low for a while.
04:52Samson's already in trouble, so they can hardly blame you.
04:55That's what I said to her.
04:56I said, this is my shop.
04:58SHE LAUGHS
04:59I need to be working it, not hiding away.
05:01Yeah, but I work here now,
05:03so it's no problem if you want to go home.
05:05And the rest will probably do you good with your Parkinson's.
05:08Rest?
05:09SHE LAUGHS
05:10I'm not an invalid.
05:12We all need help sometimes, Eric.
05:15Plus, you'd be doing me a favour if you let me do more hours.
05:18And it'll be my way of saying thank you.
05:20We both know we haven't been getting on for a while.
05:24What's wrong with the bridge?
05:25It doesn't stop me from being grateful
05:27that you've put it behind you
05:28and giving me a job when I really needed one.
05:31Victoria, there is no reason for you to be grateful.
05:36I gave you the job to make up for a bad thing that I've done.
05:42What are you talking about?
05:46I made Jay sack you.
05:51I thought I would have at least heard something by now.
05:54You know how long-winded those judges can be.
05:57Even if they postpone the sentencing,
05:59we all know that he's going to get sent down in the end, don't we?
06:02I know, but it's Esther I'm worried about.
06:04At least she would have had her dad around for a bit longer.
06:07I've always tried to be her dad to her,
06:09and I'm going nowhere.
06:11Yeah, but Samson's a real dad.
06:15And now she'll only get to see him when she visits him in prison.
06:19I still don't think you should be taking her with you to prison.
06:23She doesn't need him if she's got me.
06:25Do you know what? Whatever happens,
06:27the rest of the family will always be here for you and Esther.
06:33You knew how important that job was to me
06:36and how much I've been struggling for money since.
06:38How could you do that?
06:39Well, you're right.
06:41And I'm truly sorry that I blamed you for David and Jacob.
06:45Please don't tell Jacob about this.
06:48So you're ready to admit the truth to me,
06:50but you don't want your grandson finding out?
06:52David has already walked away.
06:54I would hate for Jacob to do the same.
06:58Look...
07:00..I tried to make things right.
07:03I know I've just made things a lot worse.
07:07And I suppose you think playing the Parkinson's card now
07:10is going to make me go easy on you?
07:11I would never do that.
07:13Really? Because I never thought you'd let Jay
07:16put a piece of glass in a pizza so that I'd lose my job.
07:18I don't know what you're capable of any more.
07:20I am guilty of a lot of things, but I would never do that.
07:25Believe me, I wish that I'd never told anybody about my Parkinson's.
07:30People treat me like I'm an invalid,
07:35not like a normal person.
07:37Possibly I behave recklessly because I was trying to prove
07:41that I was still the same man, still.
07:45Had it in me.
07:48Well, even if I did believe that,
07:51I don't think I can ever forgive you.
08:00Can I help with that?
08:02I doubt you'd be much better at it.
08:05And you have more important things to deal with.
08:08What do you mean?
08:09Well, at least Rose helped out when she was here.
08:12Now she's gone and left Dawn again.
08:14It'd be nice if you and Kim helped out a bit more.
08:17Look, I've got another lot of chemo coming up with Evan.
08:20And Clemmie keeps asking, when's Rose coming back?
08:22Maybe you help with that?
08:24Look, we could just tell them that she's on a long holiday.
08:28That is not going to stop them from asking when she's coming back.
08:32Is there a problem?
08:37He thinks we should help out more with Dawn.
08:40I mean, maybe we have been too wound up with our own problems.
08:44Because there's still too many unanswered questions.
08:47Look, I think we should just draw a line under that and start again.
08:51That's not really my style, is it?
08:53Have you got any better ideas?
08:55Yeah, face up to where you've got us.
08:59There's still things I can't forgive or forget.
09:02We've both made mistakes.
09:04A mistake is forgetting someone's birthday.
09:07Accusing your wife of drugging your daughter
09:09and murdering your ex is a bit more than that.
09:12Look, I'm trying to save our marriage here.
09:14You can't stand there and pretend that you've never done any bad things.
09:18Whatever I've done, I have never betrayed you.
09:22I wonder if you can say the same.
09:30So now Josh has been arrested for his part in it all.
09:34You don't reckon that means they might go easy on Samson, do you?
09:37Mm, can't do him any harm.
09:39If he's an old-school judge, he'll throw the book at him.
09:42Well, they're hoping they'll postpone the sentencing
09:45till they've made the case against Josh.
09:47I doubt it.
09:49Whatever happens, Samson will pay the price in the end.
09:52Don't say that.
09:53I'm just telling it like it is.
09:54Yeah, well, I'm sure he never meant to hurt anyone.
09:59What happened?
10:01Where's Samson?
10:03Samson won't be on for a long time.
10:06The judge has sentenced him to four years.
10:20It's even more than the solicitor was expecting.
10:24Maybe they're making an example of him.
10:26Will he be able to appeal his sentence?
10:28Best bet is he keeps his nose clean now whilst he's inside,
10:31then hopefully they'll let him out sooner with good behaviour.
10:34Why is Sam not with you?
10:35He's still hoping to talk to Samson.
10:38He's gonna ask him if he can have a few minutes with him
10:40before they lock him up.
10:41Well, surely they'll grant him that much.
10:43I never dreamed he'd get sent down for so long.
10:45And he's still got to face the assault charges against Josh.
10:49That's gonna make things even worse.
10:51Well, I'm sure pleading guilty must have helped,
10:53but then he went and got himself involved in that stupid fight.
10:56I just don't know how the police managed to turn up so quickly.
11:00They must have had a tip-off.
11:09I wasn't expecting you.
11:10Well, life is full of surprises.
11:14I really need a friend right now and I chose you.
11:16Well, I am flattered. Come on in.
11:26Am I interrupting something?
11:28Mm-hm.
11:29Oh, no, I'll sort it out in a bit.
11:32Go on, what's up?
11:33So, you know how broke I've been recently,
11:35and then all of a sudden, Eric offers me a job at the shop.
11:38Mm-hm. That's good, though, innit?
11:40Except he's just admitted that he only did it
11:43because he got Jay to sack me as revenge for me dumping Jacob.
11:47Word.
11:48Eric told Jay to fire me.
11:51Well, someone needs to sort that creep out.
11:53More worried about me right now, if I'm being honest.
11:55I can't afford to be unemployed again.
11:58Mm.
12:00Excuse me?
12:01My life is falling apart over here,
12:03but if you've got more interesting things to deal with...
12:07No, you're right.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:10Honestly, Vic, I do want to help you, so...
12:13just tell me what I need to do.
12:14I don't know.
12:16I was hoping you'd have some brilliant ideas.
12:21Hmm.
12:26You were there when Samson got arrested,
12:28and you seemed pretty pleased about it.
12:30I was.
12:31I think he got what he deserved.
12:33And maybe you made sure of that by calling the police.
12:36You're wrong, Lydia. It wasn't me.
12:39Why should I believe you?
12:42Well, I believe her.
12:44Because I know my wife.
12:46Look, she's told you how she feels,
12:47and I've looked somewhere else for your grass.
12:49I will.
12:50And when I find them, they'll regret it.
12:52Samson's just been sent to prison for four years,
12:55and all you lot can do is just argue amongst yourselves.
12:57It's like you don't seem to care that Esther will have started school
12:59by the time her dad and her grandad comes out.
13:02Look, there's nothing we can do about it now.
13:06We need to move on and start making the best of things,
13:08for Esther's sake.
13:10He's right, Amelia.
13:11Me and you can still give her a good life.
13:14I promise.
13:17Why don't you order a takeaway?
13:19My treat.
13:20We can start making the plans for the three of us.
13:24Best offer you're going to get today, love?
13:26Yeah, I guess so.
13:31Noah's right.
13:33You know, we should maybe start thinking about
13:35how we can help each other through this mess.
13:38Sam's definitely going to be needing all our help.
13:40Yeah, and so is Lydia. And Amelia.
13:44Maybe we should sort them first
13:46before we start looking for new villains.
13:50SIGHS
13:52A lot of me just wants to tell him where he can stick his stupid job.
13:55Yeah, but that might make you feel good for five minutes,
13:57but then you're back to having no money to pay your bills.
13:59And it's not just that.
14:01He says he wishes he'd never told people about his Parkinson's
14:04and that he doesn't want them feeling sorry for him.
14:06And I guess I do.
14:08So maybe I should try and forgive him.
14:11Do you think you can?
14:12It won't be easy, because every time I look at him,
14:15I'm going to be reminded of what he did
14:16and then just get angry again.
14:19Right, so then we need to find you another job.
14:21Hmm. That hasn't been so easy either.
14:24Yeah, but maybe it will be now.
14:26Because we know that Jay and Paula had plotted together to get rid of you.
14:29Mm.
14:30And we know that Jay was the one who put the broken glass in the pizza.
14:33Well, if that got out, it wouldn't be good for either of them, would it?
14:36Mm-mm.
14:37So now you know that, why don't you ask for your job back?
14:40And maybe a cheeky pay rise too.
14:42Ooh, good thinking.
14:45I know.
14:49What is so fascinating on the...
14:52The dating app?
14:53I thought you would have given up on them after what happened last time.
14:56You were robbed.
14:57Yes, I know, but maybe this time I'll be a bit luckier.
15:00You're crazy.
15:01Well, it's quicker than hanging around a load of bars, innit?
15:04Well, just be safe and careful, OK?
15:07Vic, I appreciate your caring for me, but I can look after myself.
15:11I hope so.
15:12Keep me updated.
15:13Mm, probably won't.
15:19Good news.
15:21Managed to talk some sense into them all.
15:23Really?
15:25Yeah.
15:26Families ought to help each other out, not fight.
15:31Is that what you said?
15:33Nothing's going to bring Samson back for years now.
15:37Look, I know you're upset, but we're gonna be OK.
15:43We don't need him. We never really did.
15:49We can start planning it tonight.
15:51So what did you order?
15:52Pizza or Chinese?
15:54Neither.
15:56Surprise, is it?
15:58I didn't order anything when I saw the last number you'd called.
16:01The police.
16:03You grasped on Samson, didn't you?
16:06How you doing, mate?
16:14Not very well.
16:15Seem to be permanently in doghouse.
16:18Join the club.
16:19I can't count how many times Nico's been mad at me.
16:23Making up's the best part.
16:25I doubt making up is even on Kim's agenda.
16:29What have you done?
16:30Kim might have misunderstood the relationship between me and Rose.
16:35But it is just a misunderstanding.
16:41I want to help you, mate, but you'll have to at least be honest with me.
16:47There might have been a kiss, but it meant nothing.
16:51If she even suspects it, you're in deep trouble.
16:53Well, maybe not. Rose is gone now.
16:56I'm hoping that if I keep my head down for a while, that Kim will forget all about it.
17:00Big mistake.
17:02The longer you let her brood on it, the worse it can get.
17:05Oh, thanks. Thought you wanted to help.
17:07I do, but if I were you, I'd bite the bullet and tell her the truth.
17:12That'd be madness.
17:14And I seem to remember you and Nicholas splitting up over something like this with Mandy.
17:18Yeah, but now we're back together, we're closer than ever.
17:23Trust me, it works.
17:27You admit that you lied, but you say that you did it to protect her.
17:31Now you realise you've been an idiot, and being honest together is the best way forward.
17:37And that actually worked with Nicholas?
17:39There might need to be chocolates or flowers involved.
17:44In the end, we both know that Kim loves you like Nico loves me.
17:51So deep down, she'll want this to be over as much as you do.
17:58How could you do it?
18:01The way you were going at him, you could have killed him if you hadn't been stopped.
18:06So you were saving Josh? Why?
18:09He's just some nasty little creep.
18:12They're both dangerous. They need keeping off the streets.
18:16So you're making our streets safe now. Our little superhero.
18:21Funny that, seeing as it was you that the police were after for some kind of stalker not long ago.
18:26Yeah, and I got punished for it. I learnt my lesson.
18:30It's time Samson learns his.
18:32Stop lying! This has got no to do with justice.
18:36You hated Samson, so you wanted rid of him.
18:38Well, he's given me enough reason, hasn't he?
18:41Do you not remember how he blackmailed me?
18:44How he said he could take you at any time he wants.
18:46You wanted Esther's dad to have a longer sentence, so he could stay out of my life and hers.
18:50For your own good.
18:52He doesn't care about you, Amelia.
18:55He only cares about himself.
18:59I can look after you and Esther so much better than he ever can.
19:02No, you can't. But I...
19:03I've heard enough. Get out!
19:13I'm really sorry I let you down, Dad.
19:15I've been a rubbish son, haven't I?
19:19The blame lies with me.
19:23I'm ashamed of where you were going, I'll admit that.
19:28But you've turned that around now.
19:31Really?
19:33You've faced up to what you did.
19:36And you're ready to take the consequences.
19:40I'm proud of you for that.
19:45I just wish you weren't going away for so long.
19:49I'm just going to have to get through it.
19:52Cain taught me how to look after myself.
19:55Don't go getting yourself into fights unless you have to.
20:00Because if you keep your head down, you could be out in two. We could behave you.
20:06It still seems like ages.
20:10You've just got to take it one day at a time.
20:16Sometimes, they offer you jump training for when you get out.
20:22If they do, jump at the chance.
20:26Yorkie does?
20:28No way. Training to be a spark turned his life around.
20:33You getting a skill could do the same.
20:38That'd be great if it happened.
20:43You are a good lad at heart. I know you are.
20:49You just need the chance to show everyone else that.
20:53Time's up.
20:56Can we not have it longer?
20:57I'm sorry.
21:00I've got to go, Dad.
21:07I love you, son.
21:11I love you, too.
21:41Next on ITV1, it's new cooking with the stars.
