00:00Morning! I don't know if you know, but I own the Village Cafe. All new customers, a free
00:14slice of cake and a smile. I don't like cake. And I don't need smiles.
00:30My van. It was right here last night. It's not here anymore.
00:39Most normal people start with hello. Hello. Where's my van?
00:46Joe, I actually thought you were here to apologise to me.
00:48I've told you why I'm here. My grandad thought you'd moved it yourself.
00:53Yeah, pretty sure I didn't, as it wasn't drivable.
00:55Right, well, the keys weren't there this morning, so he assumed you'd got it and taken it somewhere
00:58else.
01:00And so you need to tell me where my van is.
01:01I just told you.
01:02You've told me nothing.
01:03Look, my grandad will be back soon.
01:06What's he gonna tell me? That someone could just turn up here and steal anything they
01:10want and nobody would be the slightest bit bothered?
01:11Fine, I'll call the police then.
01:12No. No. I think I can work it out for myself.
01:18Well, if you don't like it, feel free to hang up.
01:30Yes, really. Look, do you have any idea how pathetic you sound? You're the one that's
01:35supposed to be serving me. Eh? Hello? Hello?
01:40Did they hang up?
01:43Rude.
01:44Well, I thought that was part of the service.
01:46Eh?
01:47What, are you doing your thing?
01:48Oh, no, no. I do that thing on the laptop. That was the, er, credit card company.
01:53Oh, right. Oh, well, similar territory, I suppose. You know, they put you in their own
01:59special handcuffs, humiliate you and leave you feeling helpless.
02:03I have managed to get rid of one of my handcuffs. I've paid off one at smaller credit card bills.
02:08Oh, and how long before you make a dent in the bigger one? And the even bigger tax bill?
02:12Depends if you decide to rob a bank or not. Is that what you're doing later? Because you
02:15would look lovely in a bella clava.
02:19No offence taken.
02:20Oh, come on, Trace. If you can't laugh, you'd curl up in a ball and drown in your own tears.
02:24Mandy.
02:25Look, I know what you're going to say, right? And I have taken your advice. I switched the
02:29picture. You can't recognise me. I wouldn't recognise me.
02:32I am just scared of you falling deeper into a hole that you can't get out of.
02:36No, Trace, this is my chance of getting out of it. I got a few new clients last night.
02:41You can almost smell the money coming out of the screen.
02:46Nice, I think.
02:47They were well up for it. And now with that money, I can get out and have a nice little
02:51treat.
02:52I thought you'd gone. Without saying goodbye.
02:56They have no idea who they're dealing with.
02:59Who?
03:00There's a line you don't cross, and they've smashed through that line.
03:03Right, slow down and tell me who, what.
03:06Aaron. You need to tell me where he lives.
03:08Aaron?
03:09Yeah, I need to go and pay him a visit.
03:11Well, you don't seem like you're in the right frame of mind to be paying anyone a visit.
03:14I think he's taken my van.
03:15Seriously?
03:16Just a bit of fun.
03:17So that's why you're still here?
03:18Please, you need to tell me which door I need to be knocking on.
03:23No, no, that's fantastic, thank you.
03:26Yeah, yeah, we can't wait.
03:29Okay, yeah, thanks, bye.
03:33I'm scared of saying that that sounded like good news.
03:36It's brilliant news. The unit were phoning to confirm Angelica's day release tomorrow.
03:41Which we knew was happening.
03:43Yeah, but we've both been around long enough to know if a spanner can be put in the works, someone will find that spanner.
03:47Oh, I think I found the spanner all by myself.
03:51Look, yesterday I said some stuff.
03:53Which needed saying. We're in this situation because of me. My choices.
03:58And we can feel sorry for ourselves, or we can find a way of dealing with things like we always do.
04:03Our problems aren't going to go away, Nico. They still need solving. Now more than ever.
04:09But this isn't a one-man problem, is it?
04:12The haulage yard. Will's supposed to be a partner.
04:15Well, he is.
04:16So why is the weight of the world only on your shoulders, hmm?
04:19Maybe he needs to start doing some heavy lifting too.
04:27Oh, this is amazing.
04:30But I still feel bad about cutting you out worse.
04:33Don't.
04:34What I'm trying to say is, you shouldn't be slashing out on me. You should be careful with your money.
04:40I wanted to. Plus, I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
04:43Well, evidently you are, because I don't know what the secret is yet.
04:46Yeah, but I feel like you're going to say no, and you can't really say no.
04:49To what?
04:50A hen do.
04:51What?
04:52Tomorrow.
04:53Yes!
04:54And I know it's short notice.
04:55Did you not hear me? I said yes, like a big yes, with bubbles on it, L-plates and all that badge.
04:59OK, cool. Well, I've sorted everything. Got the fizzy wine, not the expensive stuff.
05:02And the karaoke machine. Lydia, Ella and Kerry are free to come too.
05:06Honestly, you have me at hen.
05:08Oh. Right, missy. You are going to have to go.
05:13Well, I thought I'd work here today.
05:15No, I'm sorry. I've had more cancellations.
05:18But hey, it gives you more time to work on the hen do. Every cloud.
05:23Play hard, work harder.
05:34You can do this. You can do this. Of course you can do this.
05:38You can do this. You can do this.
05:43So, what have you done this time, you pathetic little worm?
05:49I think it's about time I introduce you to my friend, Mr Bamboo.
05:56But first, you need to show me the money.
06:04That's what's known as a happy face.
06:06I had one of them once. I can't really remember when, but I definitely had one.
06:11Well, I told Mandy about the hen do. I thought she was going to say no.
06:15To a party? Her own party? How long have you known Mandy?
06:18The only surprise is she didn't plan one herself. You're not meant to be at the salon.
06:22Well, I was, but Mandy's had a few more cancellations.
06:25Honestly, she couldn't get me out of that door quick enough.
06:27Is she stressed?
06:28No, I was talking to her earlier. I mean, the cancellations are doing her head in, but she's fine.
06:34Won't do any harm to check up on her, though.
06:36She might need someone to screen that.
06:43She won't stay mad at you forever.
06:45Whatever's going on between you two, I'm sure you'll work it out.
06:48I know we don't. But it's not just her, is it?
06:52Esther.
06:53Raised her like she was mine, and now it's like I just don't matter.
06:57Oh, love.
06:58I get I can't be a part of her life, but it just doesn't feel...
07:02I know, but your mum had a similar situation with Johnny, didn't she?
07:06But she still sees him. She's still part of his life.
07:09Don't think Amelia would go for that.
07:11Oh, you won't know until you talk to her.
07:14Tell her how you feel.
07:21Oh, that's something you'll never want to see ever again.
07:24Thank God. I didn't even know a snake could do that.
07:27And that's a full-size kettle.
07:32Where is it?
07:34Oh, the cow. The snake's just eaten it. Right there.
07:39Oh.
07:40No, small talk, Ben.
07:43I just asked you a question.
07:45He just asked me a question. Do you know the answer?
07:48No, I think he might be looking for something.
07:51Yeah. Yeah, I think so, too.
07:53Doesn't look very happy, though, does he?
07:55Are you not very happy, John?
07:57My van. What have you done with it?
08:01Oh, I think it's his van.
08:03Why would we know where it is?
08:05I really don't have time for this.
08:07Well, we don't have time for clowns like you
08:09coming in to interrupt our morning coffee and cake.
08:11Have you tried the cake here, John?
08:13It's lovely. Very moist.
08:16Ow!
08:17What are you doing?
08:18Start talking. Get off me.
08:20Take me to my van, or I will snap you in half!
08:23All right, all right.
08:25We'll take you to it. Come on.
08:31MUSIC
08:42It's not here, is it?
08:44This is a wind-up.
08:46It's not. We had it here.
08:48We left it right there so you could wash it.
08:50You wouldn't be that stupid.
08:52We obviously don't know it that well, cos I definitely am that stupid.
08:55Let's just stop panicking. If someone's nicked it...
08:57It wasn't drivable.
08:58So it should be easy to find.
09:00Where is it?
09:05Oh.
09:10This is not happening.
09:12Oh, we must have left the handbrake on.
09:15What do you mean, we?
09:17It's a bit of a schoolboy error, that.
09:19You think this is funny?
09:21My life was in that van.
09:23Well, if your whole life's in the van,
09:25then maybe you should think about getting a better one.
09:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:29You need to go through me first.
09:31Which means you need to go through both of us.
09:33Still fancy your chances, big man?
09:35You have no idea what you've done.
09:37We kind of do, though, don't we? Because your van's in the lake.
09:40It wasn't... It wasn't...
09:42It wasn't supposed to happen like that. It was supposed to be a laugh.
09:48Is he scaring you?
09:50A little bit. You?
09:52Terrifies me.
09:59Oh.
10:15Monday?
10:23Monday?
10:29Monday?
10:47I know you wanted to take a few days off from the business.
10:50And yet you're still here.
10:52I need to fill you in on a few things.
10:55Things?
10:57Great. I promised myself I won't drink today and all.
11:00You might want to sit down as well.
11:03The Gorman contract.
11:05Our bread and butter?
11:07Yeah. Well, there isn't any bread and butter anymore.
11:09There's barely a few crumbs left.
11:11What? You've lost the contract?
11:13I didn't lose it. There was an incident.
11:15Some boxes went missing from a load.
11:17How did that happen? Somebody's obviously not doing their job right.
11:20I don't know how it happened.
11:22I checked that load onto the van myself.
11:24Everything seemed fine.
11:26I tried to get Gorman's back on side,
11:28but one-strike Gorman wasn't having it.
11:31He already signed a new contract.
11:33Oh, brilliant. You've just met my day.
11:35Oh, it gets worse.
11:37Worse?
11:39We had a visit from a traffic examiner.
11:41He wanted to do a tachograph check.
11:43So? We're on top of that.
11:45We were, and then we weren't.
11:47We got a fine. A big fine.
11:49And I'm not sure we've got the money to pay it.
11:51Hang on a minute. We?
11:53Losing a contract and getting hammered with a fine happened on your watch, Jimmy.
11:56You've got to take the hit.
11:58It happened on my watch cos I was doing extra work to make more money
12:01cos you'd gone AWOL cos you were having trouble at home.
12:04Just hang on a minute.
12:06We all have things that are crippling us, Will.
12:08You have the luxury of choices. I don't.
12:10I need the haulage business to keep my family afloat.
12:13You finished?
12:15It just all gets on top of me sometimes.
12:18Angel.
12:21I can't stop thinking about her.
12:24I can't stop worrying about her.
12:27I don't expect you to understand.
12:29Of course I understand.
12:31I'm a father too.
12:33Look, whatever you feel you've got to say out loud, mate,
12:36you can say it to me.
12:41I've seen some angry people in my time, but not as angry as him.
12:44Yeah, I thought his head was gonna explode.
12:46That alone was worth the entrance fee.
12:48I left it on break-off.
12:50Yeah, by accident.
12:51You're a clown.
12:52Well, you could've checked it.
12:53Yeah, I could've checked it, but I didn't know you were an idiot.
12:55Yes, you did, Aaron. You knew that I'm an idiot.
12:57And he needed payback, and now he's paying for it in full.
13:00It won't be forgotten.
13:01Well, I'll tell you this much,
13:02Johnny's not gonna forget it any time soon.
13:04Still laughing, are we?
13:06Have you any idea what you've done?
13:09Of course we do. We were there.
13:11I'm guessing you don't know the full story.
13:13I know the part where you stole his van from the garage
13:15and drove it into a lake
13:17Trying to fill in any gaps?
13:19Ah, Mackenzie.
13:21Yeah, the first gap is that we didn't drive it into the lake.
13:24You left it on break-off.
13:25I did. I did do that.
13:27So that's my fault.
13:28What's not my fault is that John's a hobo in a van.
13:31Don't call him that.
13:32Right, shouldn't call him that.
13:33Doesn't have the van anymore, does he?
13:34He's a homeless hobo.
13:35You're pathetic, and I pity charity.
13:38Well, I'll be honest with you, Victoria.
13:39I do too, sometimes.
13:41Can we just slow down for a minute?
13:43Because maybe what you need to do is go and ask your new housemate why it happened.
13:46Then you might realise he's not the angel you think he is.
13:48Well, my half-brother, because of you, has no home, no way of getting work.
13:54He's basically got nothing left.
13:56Are we still finding this funny?
13:58It's the answer of no.
14:00We needed teaching a lesson, right?
14:02And it just, it went wrong.
14:05The end.
14:06No, not the end, actually.
14:08But do you know what?
14:09I shall be thanking you.
14:11Thanking us?
14:12Well, that took an unexpected turn.
14:14Well, he's going nowhere now.
14:16So I get my half-brother for a whole lot longer,
14:18and you two get a fight that you really don't want.
14:21So give yourselves a big pat on the back.
14:23Good work, idiots.
14:31Oh.
14:32Oh, erm...
14:34How, er...
14:35How long have you been standing there?
14:38Probably too long.
14:40What, are you going to tell me?
14:43You know what?
14:45You know what?
14:46Paddy...
14:47We weren't keeping secrets anymore.
14:48No, I hate keeping anything from you.
14:51I just thought...
14:52Well, I know what you thought.
14:55Sorry.
14:58What are you saying sorry for?
15:00I think it's amazing.
15:02You do?
15:03Yeah.
15:05I can't believe it.
15:07You've actually booked a little trip for us in Venice.
15:09That's...
15:10I wasn't snooping.
15:11I don't care.
15:12It's just...
15:13I...
15:14A speedboat?
15:16That's so romantic.
15:17Well, I just wanted to spoil you,
15:18because, well, I love you.
15:22Well, me too.
15:24More than yesterday.
15:25Maybe not as much as tomorrow.
15:28Too much.
15:30No, no.
15:31Honestly, it was lovely.
15:33I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
15:37Every part of me wants Angel home.
15:41I can't stand the thought of her spending another minute in that place.
15:45Yeah, it must be unbearable.
15:47Well, the other thing eating away at me
15:49is how people are going to treat her when she gets out.
15:52You need to stop worrying about people.
15:54It's just their release.
15:56Summer'd have her behind bars forever.
15:59Yeah, because people are only happy when they're judging,
16:02when they've got a pitchfork to sharpen.
16:04It's something you can't leave behind, though, isn't it?
16:07We both know how some behaved when they found out what Ella had done.
16:11That's a different story.
16:13Same ending.
16:15I'm worried that when she gets out,
16:17she's got to be treated like a pariah for the rest of her life.
16:20She's still my little girl.
16:22When I was inside, the thing that I felt every day,
16:26well, apart from guilt and regret,
16:29I felt helpless,
16:32knowing that Dawn were in care and it were because of me,
16:35and there were nothing I could do to fix it.
16:38Yeah, but look at you now.
16:41Not many dads have got what you and Dawn have got.
16:45Things can look fine on the surface, Jimmy,
16:47but when you look a bit closer,
16:50all the scars are still there.
16:56This is so cute. Still looks brand new.
16:59For these things, I think she's only ever worn once.
17:02And I say, you never get over how quickly they grow.
17:04This is so nice.
17:06I still can't believe how quick she gets hooped nappies.
17:08That's a totally different problem.
17:12I'll always be here for you, Amelia.
17:14You two will always have a place to stay with me.
17:17I'd say thanks, but don't come close.
17:23Is that a clue come through?
17:25I think it's best if you two get things out in the open.
17:28I'll leave you to it.
17:33I just wanted to talk to you.
17:35There's no-one to talk about, Noah.
17:37No, I get it. We're not anything any more.
17:40But I know it might sound stupid.
17:44I just wanted to know if I can still be a part of Esther's life.
17:47Even a little bit.
17:49I don't think it's a good idea.
17:51I knew you were going to say that.
17:53But I just think...
17:55Look, the trust fund money, the bank card, all of it, you can have it back.
17:59I don't want it back.
18:00Neither of us will be able to move on if we're still in each other's lives.
18:03You live here with Chas.
18:05She's literally my family.
18:07Yeah, and we'll still see each other, but only because we have to.
18:12Look, I know I'm not a real dad.
18:17But I still love you, you know.
18:19I do.
18:21I know.
18:25Emilia, please.
18:27She's going to miss me too, you know.
18:29Yeah, she's still young enough to forget you.
18:33Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that.
18:36It's fine.
18:38This is the best for everyone, you know.
18:43Not the best for me, though, is it?
18:47Is that it, then, yeah?
18:51Yeah.
18:53That's it.
19:04It don't matter how long we look at this, Jimmy.
19:06It still reads the same.
19:09Kim must know some fairly high-end accountants.
19:12You know, the ones that can make some figures just disappear.
19:17We need more than an accountant. We need a magician.
19:20And high-end still costs.
19:22More than we can afford.
19:24We're drowning.
19:26There's only one way I can see of us getting out of it.
19:28I know it makes sense to sell it. I do.
19:31But it's still my family business, and I've always had it in my head
19:34that one day I'll be able to hand it down to the kids.
19:37And I know sentiment doesn't pay the bills, but...
19:40Oh, I've got Angel at home tomorrow.
19:43I can't have this hanging over me.
19:46So, if we're going to go down,
19:49maybe we don't go down without a fight.
19:51Kicking, screaming, punching, batting.
19:53Whatever else we have to do.
19:54Now we're talking.
19:55Yeah, let them come for us, mate.
19:57We might lose, but we...
19:58We do everything we have to to win.
20:00Exactly.
20:04Your partner in crime left you alone.
20:08It certainly looks that way, doesn't it?
20:11You don't look worried.
20:14Why would I be worried?
20:16You don't know me, Aaron.
20:18Who says I want to know you?
20:20Probably a good thing.
20:22What you did, you know there's going to be payback.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Wasn't meant to go like that.
20:28But it did.
20:29I know.
20:31Just telling you how it is.
20:34Remember the last time we were this close?
20:37Can't remember what you've already forgot.
20:40I reckon when you close your eyes tonight,
20:42I'll be the last thing you think about.
20:45Yeah, probably.
20:47Laughing about your little van.
20:49Be awake for hours.
20:51I know what you want.
20:55This routine of yours needs work.
20:57No.
20:58It doesn't.
21:10That was just too easy.
21:12Yeah, fair play.
21:14Sweet dreams.
21:19Good night.
