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, Daphne. It's me.
01:15Samson? What's happened? Are they letting you out?
01:18No, but they said I could call you. I have got some better news.
01:22We could all do with some of that right now.
01:25The police have got Josh and Eric's video doorbell. He said enough to incriminate himself
01:29about what happened to Matty. So he's been arrested and he's going to get charged too.
01:34That's great. At least I can't lump it all on you now.
01:38What's going to happen with him later then?
01:41I don't know yet. The solicitor will be in later, but at least Josh will have to take
01:45his share of the blame.
01:47Right, we'll see you in court then. They'll let us talk then.
01:51Yeah. Yeah, I've got to go now, Daph.
01:53Bye.
01:58The police are charging Josh. They've got new evidence on him.
02:03Hopefully they'll see that Samson wouldn't have got into this mess if he hadn't got caught up with that scumbag.
02:08Well, do you think that means they'll postpone the sentencing until they sort the new evidence out?
02:14I don't know.
02:15You'll probably find out in court. Look, I'll leave you to get ready.
02:20I meant to ask how are things with Will now?
02:23Well, I noticed he'd been sleeping in the spare room.
02:26Oh, he hasn't been too well.
02:37Must get suited and booted for court. I want to make a good impression.
02:50Just come here now or you're going to chuck another glass at me.
02:52What?
02:56Forget it. Let's just pretend yesterday never happened.
02:59Glad to. You're the one that's been difficult lately, not me.
03:04Maybe. Samson's got much more to worry about today than either of us.
03:10Well, he deserves everything he gets. He should throw away the key.
03:14Well, at least he was trying to make up for it by making Josh confess.
03:18But you just made everything even worse.
03:21All right now, so now this is all my fault?
03:24Well, if you hadn't taught him how to fight like that, then he wouldn't have ended up being arrested.
03:28He was terrified about going inside. I was just trying to teach him how to defend himself.
03:33Saving him by turning him into another thug, another thing this family doesn't need.
03:38Do you know what? I thought he'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? Punishment.
03:49Let's hope it'll teach him his lesson.
03:51Are you sure you're not the one who grassed him up?
03:53I told you, it wasn't me. I 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. Couldn't afford to go unemployed much longer.
04:15Eric should be pleased at all. You'll bring a lot more customers than his grumpy face ever could.
04:19Hey, I heard that. Brenda, please, stop calling.
04:24That's the third time she's phoned this morning. Whatever it is, it must be urgent.
04:28Brenda, I will sort things out as soon as I've got some time. Please.
04:35Brenda's not going to give up, you know.
04:37What have you done?
04:39What he hasn't done.
04:41She thinks the Dingles are going to be angry when they find out that I've handed over the doorbell footage to the police.
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. I said, this is my shop.
04:59I need to be working it, not hiding away.
05:02Yeah, but I work here now, so 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? I'm not an invalid.
05:12We all need help sometimes, Eric.
05:14Plus, you'd be doing me a favour if you let me do more hours.
05:17And it'll be my way of saying thank you.
05:20We both know we haven't been getting on for a while.
05:23What's wrong with the bridge?
05:25It doesn't stop me from being grateful that you've put it behind you and 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 we 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, we 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, and I'm going nowhere.
06:11Yeah, but Samson's her 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, the rest of the family will always be here for you and Esther.
06:31You knew how important that job was to me, and how much I've been struggling for money since.
06:36How could you do that?
06:38You're right, and I'm truly sorry that I blamed you for David and Jacob.
06:43Please don't tell Jacob about this.
06:46So you're ready to admit the truth to me, but you don't want your grandson finding out?
06:50David has already walked away. I would hate for Jacob to do the same.
06:54Look, I tried to make things right.
06:59I know I've just made things a lot worse.
07:03And I suppose you think playing the Parkinson's card now is going to make me go easy on you?
07:07I would never do that.
07:09Really? Because I never thought you'd let Jay put a piece of glass in a pizza so that I'd lose my job.
07:14I don't know what you're capable of anymore.
07:16I am guilty of a lot of things, but I would never do that.
07:20Believe me, I wish that I'd never told anybody about my Parkinson's.
07:24People treat me like I'm an invalid.
07:29Not like a normal person.
07:32Possibly I behave recklessly because I was trying to prove that I was still the same man.
07:38Still had it in me.
07:42Well, even if I did believe that,
07:45I don't think I can ever forgive you.
07:54Can I help with that?
07:56I doubt you'd be much better at it.
07:58And you have more important things to deal with.
08:02What do you mean?
08:03Well, at least Rose helped out when she was here.
08:06Now she's gone and left Dawn again.
08:08It'd be nice if you could help her.
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 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.
08:44Cos there's still too many unanswered questions.
08:48Look, I think we should just draw a line under that and start again.
08:51That's not really my style, is it?
08:54Have you got any better ideas?
08:56Yeah, 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 and murdering your ex
09:10is 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 buck 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.
10:23Maybe they're making an example of him.
10:25Will he be able to appeal his sentence?
10:28Best bet is he keeps his nose clean now whilst he's inside
10:31and hopefully they'll let him out sooner with good behaviour.
10:34Why is Sam not with you?
10:36He's still hoping to talk to Samson.
10:38He's going to 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.
10:46And he's still got to face the assault charges against Josh.
10:49That's going to 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.
10:57I 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.
11:11Well, 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.
11:27Am I interrupting something?
11:29No, I'll sort it out in a bit.
11:31Go 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.
11:38That's good, though, isn't it?
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.
11:46What?
11:48Eric told Jay to fire me.
11:50Well, someone needs to sort that creep out.
11:53I'm more worried about me right now, if I'm being honest.
11:55I can't afford to be unemployed again.
11:59Excuse me?
12:01My life is falling apart over here,
12:03but if you've got more interesting things to deal with...
12:06No, you're right.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:10Honestly, Vic, I do want to help you, so just tell me what I need to do.
12:14I don't know.
12:16I was hoping you'd have some brilliant ideas.
12:20Hmm.
12:25You were there when Samson got arrested
12:27and you seemed pretty pleased about it.
12:29I was.
12:31I think he got what he deserved.
12:33Then maybe you made sure of that by calling the police.
12:35You're wrong, Lydia. It wasn't me.
12:38Why should I believe you?
12:40Well, I believe her.
12:42Because I know my wife.
12:45Look, she's told you how she feels.
12:47Now go look 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.
12:54And 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.
13:05We 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.
13:14Promise.
13:17Why don't you order a takeaway?
13:19Marjorie, you can start making the plans for the three of us.
13:23Best offer you're going to get today, love.
13:26Yeah, I guess so.
13:31Who knows why?
13:33You know, we should maybe start thinking about
13:35how we can help each other through this mess.
13:37Sam's definitely going to be needing all our help.
13:40Yeah, and so is Lydia. And Amelia.
13:43Maybe we should sort them first
13:45before we start looking for new villains.
13:51A lot of me just wants to tell him where he can stick his stupid job.
13:54Yeah, but that might make you feel good for five minutes,
13:56but then you're back to having no money to pay your bills.
13:58And it's not just that.
14:00He says he wishes he'd never told people about his Parkinson's
14:03and 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.
14:10Do you think you can?
14:12It won't be easy.
14:13Because every time I look at him,
14:15I'm going to be reminded of what he did and then just get angry again.
14:18Right, 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.
14:43Ooh, 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, isn't it?
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.
15:13Probably won't.
15:19Good news.
15:21I managed 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,
15:39I know you're upset,
15:40but we're going to be OK.
15:43We don't need him.
15:44We never really did.
15:48We 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?
16:11How 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.
16:28What have you done?
16:30Kim might have misunderstood the relationship between me and Rose.
16:34But it is just a misunderstanding.
16:41I want to help you, mate,
16:43but you'll have to at least be honest with me.
16:47There might have been a kiss,
16:48but it meant nothing.
16:51If she even suspects it, you're in deep trouble.
16:53Well, maybe not.
16:54Rose is gone now.
16:56I'm hoping that if I keep my head down for a while,
16:58that Kim will forget all about it.
17:00Big mistake.
17:02The longer you let her brood on it, the worse it can get.
17:04Oh, thanks.
17:05I thought you wanted to help.
17:06I do, but if I were you, I'd...
17:10bite the bullet and tell her the truth.
17:12That'd be madness.
17:14And I seem to remember you and Nicola splitting up over something like this.
17:17We're mandy.
17:18Yeah, but...
17:20now we're back together, we're closer than ever.
17:23Trust me.
17:24It works.
17:26You admit that you lied,
17:27but you say that you did it to protect her.
17:30Now you realise you've been an idiot,
17:33and being honest together is the best way forward.
17:36And that actually worked with Nicola?
17:38There might need to be chocolates or flowers involved.
17:43In the end,
17:45we both know that
17:47Kim loves you like Nico loves me.
17:50So deep down,
17:52she'll want this to be over as much as you do.
17:57How could you do it?
18:00The way you were going at him,
18:02you could have killed him if you hadn't been stopped.
18:05So you were saving Josh?
18:06Why?
18:08He's just some nasty little creep.
18:11They're both dangerous.
18:13They need keeping off the streets.
18:15So you're making our streets safe now.
18:18Our little superhero.
18:20Funny, that.
18:21Seeing as though it was you that the police were after for some kind of stalker not long ago.
18:25Yeah.
18:26And I got punished for it.
18:27I learnt my lesson.
18:29It's time Samson learns his.
18:31Stop lying!
18:32This has got no to do with justice.
18:35You 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?
18:43How he said he could take you at any time he wants.
18:46You wanted Esther's dad to have a longer sentence,
18:48so 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.
19:03I've heard enough.
19:05Get 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 would have shamed you where you were going, I'll admit that.
19:28But you've turned that around now.
19:31Really?
19:33You're 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.
19:56Don't go getting yourself into fights unless you have to.
19:59Because if you keep your head down, you could be out in two.
20:01We could behave you.
20:04It still seems like ages.
20:08You've just got to take it one day at a time.
20:14Sometimes,
20:16they offer you job training for when you get out.
20:20If they do, jump at the chance.
20:24Yeah, OK, it does.
20:26Yeah, OK, it 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.
20:46I know you are.
20:49You just need the chance to show everyone else that.
20:53Time's up.
20:56Can we not have a bit longer?
20:58I'm sorry.
21:00I've got to go, Dad.
21:07I love you, son.
21:11I love you too.
21:25I love you too.
21:55I love you too.
