00:00It's sure you don't mind giving Brenda a hand, eh? I just want to make sure everything's
00:08perfect for Angel's visit. We only get a few hours with her.
00:11Course not. At least in the cafe I can't get into too much trouble.
00:15Oh, try not to keep stressing about the haulage. You and Will will sort it.
00:20Yeah, I know.
00:21Have we made a mistake keeping today small? There's Dad. And I know the boys would have
00:27loved to have seen her.
00:28Baby steps. They've had this football camp bug for ages. And it's a big thing, her coming
00:34home for a day. We don't want to overwhelm her. You wait. Soon she'll be home proper
00:40and I'll be sick to the back teeth of her again.
00:43You think?
00:44Yeah. Onwards and upwards.
00:59You're in my light.
01:00I need to talk about my van.
01:02Of course you do. It's going to cost you a fortune.
01:07Only because of your brother-in-law.
01:09Well, it's not my problem. I'll take it up with him.
01:13Oh, yeah? Carry it there himself, did he? Or did he use your tow truck and nick the
01:19keys from your garage?
01:22Fine. That's what we're doing, is it? I'll go and ring my insurance. Or actually, maybe
01:29the police first. They usually need an instant number, don't they? You've got no problem
01:37if they come sniffing round here, do you?
01:44I don't like being thrown.
01:46Not many people do.
01:52Oh, yes, Queen.
01:56Hi. Do you want a hand?
01:58Oh, no, it's OK. Amelia's with me in a sec. She's buzzing, pulling all this together.
02:02She thinks a lot of you, you know. You've really helped her. I'm loving this.
02:06Oh.
02:07Look at this.
02:08Hey, it's Amelia's idea. It's karaoke. And apparently it's not going to get in the way
02:14of all my dance moves.
02:15Oh, brilliant. You're still here. Do you think you could squeeze me in for a beard trim?
02:20Today?
02:21Well, ideally. You don't mean looking like a scruffy get on your wedding day now, do
02:25you? And I always look me best a couple of days after you've worked your magic.
02:29Dad, it's a hen do.
02:31It'll take ten minutes.
02:32It's OK. I can squeeze him in.
02:34See? I knew you were marrying a good'un.
02:37Yeah, I'll tell you what. Not many brides have been this relaxed a couple of days before
02:41the wedding. Oh, that reminds me. Did you manage to get some euros for Venice yet? It
02:45doesn't matter if you haven't. I can get some.
02:47Oh, er...
02:50You know, erm, don't worry. I've got everything in hand. I'm just going to go and...
02:59You're in a good mood.
03:00Angel's visiting today. I can't wait.
03:04Sorry. You really don't need to be hearing that.
03:07It's not your fault, is it?
03:09Still, how is he, Samson?
03:13Hard to tell.
03:15I'd like to say it gets easier. That's not true. But there is an ending, so try and focus
03:22on that, mate. It's not forever, it's just for now.
03:27That were nicer, Jimmy.
03:30Yeah.
03:33Is that all you've got to say?
03:37You need to talk about this properly, Sam. It's not good, you bottling it all up.
03:41I'm not.
03:46Why did Moira crash Samson up? He might have only got suspended.
03:53We don't know for sure it were her.
03:55Course it was. Who else would have done it?
03:59All the time in my head is going round, what could be happening to him?
04:03I know. I'm doing the same.
04:05It's not the same.
04:07You mean cos I'm not his real mum?
04:11Anyway, I'd best be off. I've got a busy day, especially if I'm going to make Mandy's shin dig.
04:16I didn't mean it like that.
04:18It's OK. Everything's fine. I'm just glad you're getting it off your chest.
04:37Am I interrupting?
04:39Just getting a bit of practising. The girls are going to love this.
04:42You can hear it halfway across village.
04:44That's good to know, innit? When our charity bell's out, her tune with her extra bits.
04:49Sir, please, fix it.
04:54That thing's not stopped buzzing all morning.
04:56Well, you know, just trying to drum up some extra business for the salon.
05:01Makes sense. Cost of weddings these days.
05:05Are you going to take it?
05:07Do you mind? I thought you might need to get off.
05:09Well, I can do bear's trim, if you want.
05:12It's all right with me, if it makes things easier for you.
05:15Oh, thanks. Right, well, leave you both to it, then.
05:18Take it here, if you want. We're hardly likely to be making much noise now, are we?
05:22It's a new client, you know. I think it's probably best if I have a bit of privacy.
05:28I didn't know that he lived in the ruddy thing, did I?
05:31And also, I didn't mean for it to go all the way in.
05:34And I've been thinking about this. How do we know that the handbrake was working?
05:36Because it's about the only thing that still is.
05:38What's going on?
05:39Well, John's threatened to call the police.
05:41So, what do you want me to do?
05:44Well, an apology would be a start.
05:48Great. Since when have you ever apologised for anything, Kate?
05:51I'm not the one doing it.
05:52Come on.
05:55Now!
05:57Are you going to come with me, considering you're the reason I'm in this mess?
06:00No. And don't start blaming me.
06:02Either I'm staying out of this, like I should, or I'm in the first place.
06:04Hate you.
06:05OK.
06:09What?
06:11He's got something to tell you.
06:14Sorry.
06:15What?
06:16I said I'm sorry.
06:18I didn't realise how much that van meant to you.
06:21And I should have taken into consideration that you'd just lost your mum.
06:25So, you wouldn't have destroyed my home if I wasn't grieving, is that it?
06:30And just how thick are you not to realise I live in it?
06:32It's a camper van. All my stuff's in there.
06:34Or it was.
06:35Let's see that this isn't getting us anywhere.
06:37Just... Just go.
06:39I thought we were sorting this.
06:40Yes. And I will, but you're not making it easy.
06:43Fine.
06:45You know what, mate? Actually, I am sorry that you've had such a tough time with it.
06:50But surely you've got to ask yourself the question at some point.
06:53What kind of man ends up living on his own, in his van, and in the middle of nowhere?
07:03Idiot.
07:04Yep.
07:05But he's still my wife's brother.
07:07And I just want this over with.
07:09I've got enough on my plate.
07:10And I still need my van.
07:12So where do we go from here? Because I'm not backing down.
07:21Sorry I'm late.
07:23Brenda wouldn't stop bleating on about the toaster.
07:26I told her it could wait, but...
07:28Angel's not back yet, is she?
07:32No.
07:40What's happened?
07:43She's not come in. They've cancelled it.
07:47Why?
07:49Is she all right?
07:52What?
07:53She's fine, but...
07:57She got into a fight.
07:59Why would she do that?
08:03Why today?
08:08Wait, I've not got my mask on.
08:12Did he hear something?
08:16Must be my ears playing tricks on me.
08:18Right, well, we're all done.
08:20Just go fetch that beard oil.
08:22Oh!
08:27Must be someone important, a face like that.
08:29No, but do you mind if I just take it?
08:31No, honestly, I'm in no rush.
08:33Thanks.
08:36Are you not going to say anything?
08:39What, are you shy?
08:41A little mummy's boy, perhaps?
08:43Or is this some stupid game?
08:48Mandy?
08:49Mandy?
08:54Mandy?
08:56I think you left your microphone on.
08:58Fine, be that way. It's me doing the talking.
09:01And that's what you're after, isn't it?
09:04Someone to take charge, because you're just too weak.
09:07Well, I want paying for this now.
09:09And for what? It's none of your business.
09:11Do you hear me?
09:13You are a useless waste of space, and I deserve better.
09:17So pay up, little Josh Piggy.
09:20Madame Diamante Dales is here, and she's about to...
09:24Dear God!
09:27So how did you end it?
09:28Well, Cain said leave it to him, but you know what he's like.
09:31He probably scared the guy half to death and sent him packing.
09:34Who can't believe he drove his van into a lake?
09:36How many times? I didn't mean to do it.
09:43But that's him.
09:44Who?
09:45John.
09:47Victoria's brother, the van guy.
09:49What's he doing here?
09:51What do you think?
09:53Cain told him to get lost, and now he's trying to rob the place.
09:56You should call the police, then.
09:57No, no. He threatened to do that to me and to the garage.
10:00Cain finds out that I get them involved here, he'll hit the roof.
10:03So what are we going to do?
10:04I'll tell you what we're going to do.
10:06We're going to scare him.
10:08Now, wait.
10:10Now, wait.
10:15Idiot.
10:27Hey, you!
10:35That was a mistake.
10:39I'm sorry.
10:53Just leave it, will you?
10:55Oi, oi! What's going on?
10:57He attacked me.
11:00Looks like you were given as good as you got.
11:01I'd say a bit more than that.
11:03It's all right, I'm just saying what I saw.
11:05He was trying to rob you.
11:06No, I wasn't.
11:07Give me that. Why else would you be here?
11:09Because I gave him a job.
11:10What?
11:11He's going to be sticking around. He needs to feed himself.
11:14And more, he needs an extra pair of hands.
11:17He's got experience, apparently.
11:20Although maybe I'm beginning to regret that.
11:22He went for me first.
11:23I was only trying to scare you.
11:25I'm shaking.
11:30New guy seems nice.
11:31Oh, go away!
11:35Cain.
11:38I don't like him.
11:39I don't trust him at all.
11:41Are you sure you know what you're doing?
11:43Fixing the mess that you made.
11:45I need to get that van out of the water.
11:47You've got a lot of work ahead of you, and you're going to be paying for it.
11:54Cain gave him a job?
11:57He said it fixed everyone's problems.
11:59I thought Cain was going to kill him this morning.
12:01Well, he's always respected people who stand up for themselves.
12:04Yeah, I guess.
12:05I wonder if this means John's planning on staying longer.
12:08I thought he made it pretty clear that he was only stopping until his van was fixed.
12:11Well, that's what he said, but he's got a job.
12:14He's found a family.
12:15Who knows what might happen over the next few weeks?
12:17This is great.
12:20Don't think this means I've forgiven you.
12:22It was all Mackenzie, Vic. Trust me.
12:24And I can't believe he was a farmhand.
12:26Your dad would have been proud.
12:29Yeah, yeah, he would.
12:30I'll see you in a bit.
12:33Do you fancy giving me a hand shifting a few crates?
12:36You know, when I get them done before Mandy's hen.
12:39As opposed to someone who actually works here.
12:42Fine.
12:46I'm so sorry about that.
12:48Sit back down and I'll get you that beard oil.
12:50No, no, no, you're all right. I'll do it myself when I get home.
12:54You all right?
12:55No, I just need some fresh air, that's all.
12:58It just gets very, very hot in here.
13:01Yeah, I think it's our dryers.
13:03Are you finished already?
13:05Yeah, it's pretty straightforward.
13:07You going off?
13:08Sorry?
13:09You done?
13:10Oh, yes, yeah.
13:11Amelia did a grand job.
13:15Who was it you said you were having a meeting with again?
13:18Why do you ask?
13:19Just interested, that's all.
13:20I mean, I am basically your father-in-law now, aren't I?
13:22Oh, it's just some new client, you know.
13:24Got to pay for this honeymoon somehow.
13:28And it all went well then?
13:30You were show-de-moose boss.
13:33Yeah, something like that.
13:35Yeah.
13:36Right, then.
13:37Well, I'd better be off.
13:39Enjoy the karaoke machine, but do take care of the volume control.
13:45It's amazing how far that sound can travel.
14:01I thought you were busy.
14:03Girl's got to eat.
14:05All right.
14:07Cos I thought maybe you just said that to get away from me.
14:17I'm sorry for what I said.
14:23Of course you're his mum.
14:25And you're going through this now.
14:31But maybe you said what you did because I made him confess.
14:36If you're still angry with me...
14:38No.
14:39I didn't mean it.
14:42Just sometimes my mouth runs away with itself.
14:46You know, when I'm...
14:49Heartbroken?
14:53I just miss him.
14:56And I'm scared for him.
15:01You're much better than me at all this.
15:04You know...
15:06Emotions and that.
15:09You always know what to do for it, Bess.
15:11I don't know about that.
15:13You do.
15:17Sometimes I think you're the only thing holding this family together.
15:26Right. There you go. Anything else?
15:29Yeah. Would you mind shifting them all back downstairs again, please?
15:33What?
15:35Don't blame me.
15:37You're the one who won't talk to me unless I give you something physical to do.
15:41Come on, love.
15:43I could see how much it bothered you when you heard that John was staying.
15:46Couldn't care less.
15:48Really? Hmm.
15:50You must have fancied him a little bit seeing as you two...
15:52No, Mum, don't do that.
15:54I'd say you spent some time together.
15:56Well, I wish I'd never laid eyes on him.
15:59Because if I knew he was Robert's brother, I'd have never have gone there.
16:01Yeah, well, you did go there, didn't you? That ship has already sailed.
16:04Well, then let's hope that he sails off with the ship.
16:08Just as soon as his van's fixed.
16:10Hmm. You sure?
16:12Well, I wouldn't say it if I wasn't.
16:15There's nothing going on between me and him. Nothing.
16:25Finished that quick? You in a rush?
16:27We've got plenty to be getting on with.
16:29Look, I'm all for getting some grafting, but we're paid by the day.
16:32There's no point killing ourselves. My dad won't thank us for that.
16:37Look, I know Matt can be an idiot, but he's our idiot.
16:40He's a good guy once you get to know him.
16:42I'll have to take your word for it.
16:44There you are.
16:46What are you doing up here?
16:47I was looking for you.
16:49Oh, we've got a lot to be getting on with. Sorry.
16:51See you out there.
16:53Take a second.
16:55What, Will?
16:56I just wanted to say I heard you were working here and I think it's great.
17:00And don't forget, you've always got a bed at mine whenever you need it.
17:03This doesn't mean anything.
17:05It's just a job.
17:11And then I thought I'd compare their marriage to pancakes,
17:14cos you always mess the first one up,
17:16but the second one, cos of the...
17:19You know.
17:20Are you listening?
17:22What are you watching?
17:24Oh, I'm reading, listening.
17:26You know, text-to-speech stuff.
17:29Must be interesting, the way you're looking at it.
17:33Careful. Keep doing that and people think you're up to all sorts.
17:36Give over.
17:38It's not for me, all this weird stuff you get on here, kinks and that.
17:43But...
17:45..do you know there are some blokes who pay women to, like,
17:50shout at them, belittle them for money?
17:53How did we get here?
17:55I'm just making conversation.
17:57Are you sure that's all it is? Because, you know, if you're in trouble...
18:01Oh, no, no, no, it's not me.
18:04It's a mate of mine.
18:06Back from my days in the ring.
18:09People are saying that his missus might be doing it behind his back.
18:13You know, this financial domination.
18:16I think I might have found her account.
18:19Blimey! Would I know him?
18:21I'm assuming it's a wrestler.
18:23Is it Abel Bill?
18:25No, is it the one-man band sheet?
18:27Is it the Tadcaster thrasher?
18:29No, no, no, no, it's none of them.
18:33Here they are. Who fancies an impromptu stag night?
18:36I thought you didn't want one.
18:38I said I didn't want a proper one.
18:40But me just buying some booze and some pizzas.
18:42And I was thinking we could do a diode marathon
18:44with just me dad and me best mate. I'd be blissed.
18:47All right, yeah, yeah, but you've got to give me a hand with this first.
18:49What are we doing?
18:50It's nothing. Just drop it.
18:51What? No way! It's a brilliant game.
18:53We're guessing which wrestler your dad's got gossip on
18:55because apparently his wife is up to all kinds of things.
18:58It's not gossip. You're talking about somebody's life here.
19:00All right, Dad. I'm sure Marlon didn't mean any harm.
19:03Yeah, no, I'm sorry.
19:05Sorry, you know, but if you want my advice,
19:07if you're not sure, it's probably best not to say anything, really.
19:10Yeah, no-one's going to thank you for trying to ruin their relationship,
19:13even if you are trying to help.
19:15Come on, we can't let Mandy have all the fun.
19:26Hi!
19:28You don't give up, do you?
19:30Who, me? I was just taking an innocent stroll.
19:33Is that so? I want you to know I'm not trying to upset you.
19:36I'm just telling you how it is.
19:38I'm not looking to build a life around here.
19:40And I'm not asking you to.
19:42I just thought, if you have to stick around, and you kind of do,
19:46would it really hurt if we got to know each other?
19:49You know, my dad never saw himself staying round here.
19:52Went to London, wrote a book.
19:55Not many people know that.
19:57What's your point?
19:58My point is, this place, farming,
20:01it's been in our family for almost 100 years.
20:04It has a way of getting in your bones, whether you want it to or not.
20:08Sounds like it means a lot to you.
20:10More than I've ever realised.
20:13I know you've probably been through a lot with your mum and stuff,
20:16but if you took the time to just stop and stand still for a while,
20:20it might not be such a bad thing.
20:22And yet, you probably don't want to spend the next 100 years here,
20:26but it could also be exactly what you need right now.
20:31Actually, there was another reason I came to find you.
20:35I didn't want to say anything in front of Nate,
20:38but I went home to clear some more space for you if you are staying longer,
20:41and I found this in Harry's room.
20:44You must have taken it. I'm sorry.
20:46I assumed it was yours.
20:47But I didn't open it. It didn't seem right.
20:52Is that a dog tag? Like from the army?
20:56Yeah.
20:57But I don't want to talk about that time in my life. It's over.
21:00Bye.
21:01Yeah, OK. That's fine.
21:03Please will you just think about what I said?
21:06I will. I promise.
