00:00Still no reply from Moira.
00:09Well, hopefully she's busy sacking John.
00:12Oh, come on.
00:13What? It was definitely him?
00:15We don't know that for sure.
00:17Who else could it have been?
00:19Exactly!
00:20We don't even know if it was done deliberately.
00:23I asked John, he said it wasn't him.
00:24Right, and you're gullible enough to believe that?
00:26I just don't think he'd do something like that.
00:28Someone made sure that the bull could get back into the barn.
00:31It was him.
00:32Why are you so quick to defend him, anyway?
00:34I'm not defending anyone.
00:36Your best mate's in here with concussion because of him.
00:38Face it, Aaron, the boy's a liar.
00:41The truth will come out one way or another.
00:50Waking up in your own bed is one of life's simplest pleasures.
00:54I'm no international jet setter like you,
00:56but wherever I go, I do enjoy coming home.
00:59Just in time. I've prepared your favourite breakfast.
01:02Oh. What are you after?
01:05Nothing. Just to show you how glad I am that you're home.
01:10You know, I was thinking you should try talking to Dawn today.
01:15I don't think there's any point.
01:17It's got to be worth a go, surely.
01:19Kim, we've talked about this.
01:21I think they just need a bit more time.
01:23We can't let it drag on forever.
01:25I know that, but let's just leave them be for now, eh?
01:30Fine. You're cool.
01:32Right. Better get this eaten and crack on.
01:36Got admin to do.
01:37Oh, and I've got a meeting tomorrow I've got to prep for
01:40with my new financial advisor, the very dashing Peter.
01:45Oh. Should I be worried?
01:47I don't know. Should you?
01:55PHONE BUZZES
02:01Mackenzie's lucky that wasn't worse yesterday.
02:03Certainly is.
02:04An unexpected face-off with a 2,000-pound bull. Never good.
02:08I got chased by a herd of cows once. That was bad enough.
02:11Get her a coffee, please, Jimmy.
02:13Any word on Mackenzie?
02:15He's concussed and a bit bruised, but he'll live.
02:17Glad to hear it.
02:19He's not happy, though.
02:20Give him our best when you see him.
02:22Yeah, I will.
02:26DOOR OPENS
02:28I want word.
02:31Do you, indeed?
02:33Yeah.
02:34About yesterday?
02:35I thought we'd had that conversation.
02:37Well, we're having it again.
02:39A bit presumptuous.
02:40I'm being serious.
02:41I can see that.
02:43Mackenzie could have been seriously hurt.
02:45Well, maybe run along and report back that he's barking up the wrong tree.
02:51Because I had nothing to do with it.
02:55DOOR OPENS
03:03You're going to wear a hole in that.
03:05And it wasn't cheap.
03:07Sorry.
03:10Well, if you've got something to say, spit it out.
03:13I know you, Lydia.
03:16Well...
03:18Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
03:22Yeah, I'd already figured that bit out.
03:24And it's not an easy thing to discuss.
03:27Sounds ominous.
03:29Hopefully not a pay rise.
03:31No, it's about Will.
03:33Right, let me stop you right there.
03:38You're about to tell me about Rose trying it on with him, aren't you?
03:42Well, I know all about it.
03:44And it wasn't entirely his fault.
03:46But...
03:47He's assured me nothing else happened.
03:50And I believe him.
03:52Yeah, well...
03:53I appreciate your concern.
03:55But I don't want to talk about it any more.
03:58It's my marriage, my business.
04:01So please, just stay out of it.
04:08Here you go.
04:10Two mango nohitos.
04:12Oh, a bit decadent, isn't it, for the afternoon?
04:15Well, if someone else is paying.
04:17I quite like this grown-up kids thing.
04:20Oh, just letting you know, I might have to nip to the shop.
04:22We're running low on passata.
04:23We've just had a delivery in.
04:25It was on the order.
04:27Oh, I'd better go and check it. Come with me.
04:29Right, I'll be back in a minute.
04:31I'm sure I ordered them.
04:35No chance.
04:37Come on, Arthur, I just want to talk to her.
04:39I said no.
04:41From now on, any communication between you and her goes through me.
04:45Hey, I'm warning you.
04:47You'd better listen.
04:49You are not taking that house away from my mum.
04:51You know, it's really sad,
04:53seeing you go from a sweet little kid
04:55to a manipulative interferer.
04:57Yeah, I had a good teacher.
05:00Come back with something concrete
05:02about the divorce by the end of the day,
05:04or I might just have to ring Priya
05:06and check she knows what you've been doing to Mum.
05:09I'm glad you popped in, actually.
05:11Yeah?
05:13It's just, er, I've been having a think,
05:15and I've decided
05:17not to sell those haulage shares after all.
05:20Right. Any particular reason?
05:22Not really.
05:24Well, I hear you were desperate to sell yesterday.
05:26You had to persuade me.
05:28I know that. Er, heat of the moment.
05:30Er, it doesn't really make sense this, Jimmy.
05:32I mean, it's not like I'm going to sell it.
05:34It's not like I'm going to sell it.
05:36Er, it doesn't really make sense this, Jimmy.
05:38I got carried away.
05:40Me and Nicola,
05:42we've had another talk, and we've decided
05:44now's not a good time to sell.
05:46Right. Well,
05:48we often might not still be on the table
05:50if you change your mind again.
05:52We won't. We made our decision.
05:54Fair enough. Your call.
05:56Thanks, Caleb.
05:58Oh, not at all. A man can change his mind if he wants.
06:00What's this?
06:02I was just saying, a man can change his mind
06:04if he wants. The haulage.
06:06Right. He's told you, then? He has.
06:08And?
06:10Plenty of other places for me to invest my money.
06:12One door closes and all that.
06:16Thanks, mate.
06:18Last thing I need is that swindler as a business partner.
06:20I've got bigger problems to deal with.
06:24Came yesterday with a bunch of roses.
06:28I know what you did.
06:30It's about the kiss with Rose.
06:32Actually,
06:34I might not have been 100% honest about that.
06:38Oh, how amazing
06:40was that, hearing all those lovely comments
06:42about Frankie from a key worker?
06:44It was great, really great.
06:46Not that we need anyone else to tell us what a little superstar she is.
06:48Always nice, though, innit?
06:50Do you know what?
06:52I reckon we can give ourselves a pat on the back.
06:54I don't think we're doing
06:56too badly at this separated
06:58parenting malarkey.
07:00I think you might be right.
07:02Oh, and these are just the cutest
07:04things ever.
07:06You can keep your Rolexes and your gold chains.
07:08A homemade Best Daddy bracelet from my daughter
07:10is the only bling I need.
07:12I think we deserve them.
07:14Yeah, we do.
07:18I'm really glad we can be like this, you know.
07:20Just getting on
07:22for Frankie.
07:24And I know I don't deserve it
07:26after everything.
07:28We've got to get through all that now, eh?
07:36Something wrong?
07:38No, it's fine.
07:40I'd better go, though.
07:42Are you sure nothing's up?
07:44Yeah, sorry, Trace. I just need to get this.
07:52Oh,
07:54you're a whole male matador.
07:56I've never heard that before.
07:58Joking aside, I've been worried sick.
08:00Not worried enough to reply to my text, though.
08:02I didn't get any text.
08:04You definitely did, Moira.
08:06Well, I've been flat out. I must have missed it.
08:08Are you alright?
08:10Yeah, I'm fine. I'll live to fight another day.
08:12Just not with a £2,000 bill?
08:14Probably not, no.
08:16How you doing? Yeah, good.
08:18And what were you doing with that thing in there anyway?
08:20It wasn't meant to be there.
08:22We've got a pretty good idea how it happened, though, haven't we?
08:26Listen,
08:28this has gone far enough.
08:30I did ask him again and he said it wasn't him.
08:32And you're willing to believe someone you barely know?
08:34Why don't you just back off, Mackenzie?
08:36This is all because you've got a pathetic crush on him, isn't it?
08:38Well, I think you need to stay out of my business.
08:40Oh, so you all know what happened yesterday as well, then?
08:44What happened yesterday?
08:46When I walked in on these two.
08:48Did you?
08:50Seriously?
08:52So this was when you were apparently asking him
08:54to go back in?
08:56I didn't have anything to do with that, all right?
08:58Do you know what, mate? You crack on.
09:00If you're that desperate, fire away.
09:02You stay out of my way.
09:04I'm telling you, for the last time,
09:06I did not open the barn door.
09:10Actually, I think that might have had something to do with me.
09:24I didn't realise that you were going to be in there.
09:26Moira, you were the one who told me to go and fix the quad.
09:28Did I?
09:30Yeah.
09:32OK, well, I'm sorry.
09:34It should be John that you're apologising to.
09:36He's the one who's been getting the blame for it all.
09:38Well, not for me he hasn't, but I'm sorry, John.
09:40It's fine.
09:42No, it's not fine at all.
09:44Mackenzie.
09:46What?
09:48Do you not think you should apologise to John?
09:50No.
09:52What?
09:54Do you not think you should apologise as well?
09:56What, to him?
09:58Of course, to him. Who else?
10:00Keep your apologies. I'm not interested.
10:02Oh, I wouldn't worry. There wasn't one coming.
10:04Right, I think we'd just better get you inside, yeah?
10:06Right, fine.
10:08But I'd be careful if I were you, Aaron.
10:10You might not be responsible for yesterday, but it doesn't change anything.
10:12He's still a snake.
10:16I was drunk and we kissed.
10:18It should have ended there.
10:20It should have ended in the first place.
10:22But then I went knocking on her door.
10:24And one thing led to another.
10:26I regretted it straight away.
10:28And I thought that Rose had only told Dawn,
10:30so I just figured that it'd go away, but...
10:34Now this.
10:36She'll be messing with you.
10:38Trying to get under your skin.
10:40Well, it's worked, hasn't it?
10:42You're definitely sure it's her?
10:44Who else could it be?
10:46What about Dawn?
10:48She's got nothing more to do with me anymore.
10:50No, it's Rose. I know it is.
10:52Have you asked her?
10:54I sent her a message on social media.
10:56She didn't get back to me.
10:58It don't look like she's been online.
11:00Well, I suppose you just have to ignore it
11:02and hope it goes away.
11:04Either that or
11:06head it off at the pass.
11:08It's your call, but
11:10if I was you, I'd be hanging tight and praying hard.
11:12Hey.
11:16John, I'm sorry about all of this.
11:18Ah, mistakes happen.
11:20Well, not mistakes that nearly get people killed.
11:22Mac
11:24doesn't help, though.
11:26Running around, making accusations,
11:28throwing his toys out the pram.
11:30Maybe not, but he's still my brother,
11:32so I need to stand by him.
11:34Especially when it was my stupidity
11:36that nearly got him killed.
11:38What exactly are you trying to say here?
11:40That I'm sorry.
11:42That you and him,
11:44it doesn't really seem to work, does it?
11:46Are you
11:48sacking me?
11:50No, I'm not sacking you, but...
11:52Oh, okay.
11:54Fair enough.
11:56I mean, my van's fixed now.
11:58I would've been leaving soon anyway.
12:00I mean, it'd be great if you could work your notice,
12:02but if you want
12:04to leave straight away, I'll pay you what you do.
12:06You deserve that much.
12:08It's fine. I won't leave you in the lurch.
12:10I'll carry on
12:12until you find a replacement.
12:14Thanks, John.
12:16Look, I'm sorry it's come to this. I really am.
12:18Look, the
12:20bottom line is, we need a cash injection.
12:22The cost of expanding the warehouse,
12:24it's getting bigger every day. It's a massive drain
12:26on funds. And my cash flow
12:28ain't great.
12:30I've already put a fortune into this.
12:32Plus the ten grand
12:34that I gave you to bribe the council guy.
12:36I thought that was supposed to be greasing the wheels.
12:38It will. Look,
12:40it's not my fault the goalposts keep shifting.
12:42You need to pick up the slack on this one.
12:44No. I haven't got another spare penny.
12:46Well, I'm sorry, Jay, but you're the
12:48co-owner of this business. The contract,
12:50which you read a million times before signing,
12:52by the way, says you're just as liable
12:54as me for any unexpected costs.
12:56Yeah, well, the words blood and stone
12:58spring to mind.
13:00What about Laurel?
13:02What about her? Well, you're in the middle of
13:04forced negotiations. Now's the time
13:06to turn a screw. Maximise your settlement.
13:08I can't do that. Why not?
13:10I just can't, alright? Things
13:12have changed and I need us
13:14to be on good terms. So what?
13:16You're just gonna sit
13:18there and watch our business potentially fail?
13:20It's not gonna fail.
13:22I bet Laurel's not sat over there thinking about how she can play
13:24Mr Nice Guy. So why should you be?
13:30You still stewing about that phone call?
13:32Kind of.
13:34I mean, I've got no right to be bothered.
13:36I know that. Oh, as if it's that simple.
13:38We've both gotta move on
13:40and if Nate's met someone, then good for him.
13:42He deserves to be happy.
13:44What? It's the truth.
13:46I mean, it's been months now.
13:48He's got every right to get on with his life.
13:50Yeah, of course he has.
13:52What? Trace, I'm agreeing with you.
13:54It would just be good to know
13:56who they're. You know,
13:58if they're gonna be around Frankie.
14:00And this is all just about Frankie, is it?
14:04I am sorry that I blurted that out before.
14:06It's done now.
14:08Trust me, John.
14:10The chance of you having an easy and stable
14:12relationship with Aaron Dingle
14:14is zero.
14:16Who said anything about a relationship?
14:18It was a bit of fun, that's all.
14:20Just don't get caught in a big mess,
14:22cos you'll only be giving yourself a load of grief.
14:24Is this you doing here? I don't need complications bit again.
14:26What's he doing here?
14:28I asked him to come.
14:30Why?
14:34You seem to spend a lot of time getting told what to do.
14:36Well, actually, I've come to tell
14:38her to back off about yesterday.
14:40I just wanted to talk to you both
14:42about all this. All this what?
14:44Well, you two. And I really don't want to stick my nose in.
14:46Well, it sounds like you're getting in.
14:48Wait a minute.
14:50You two are the ones who've been sneaking around
14:52and lying to me. So don't have a go.
14:54It's none of your business, Vic.
14:56Alright, alright. I'm gonna make this easier for both of you.
14:58You don't have to worry about any of this, because I'm leaving anyway.
15:00Moira's ended my contract
15:02with the farm. What?
15:04Well, my van's fixed.
15:06I was always gonna go when that happened, you know that.
15:08But you can't just leave.
15:10It's for the best.
15:12But you belong here.
15:16Can I say anything to make you stay?
15:24No.
15:32I was out of line.
15:34John's
15:36bad news, and Aaron needs to be careful.
15:38Yeah, he said.
15:40Hang on.
15:42You were just as convinced as I was
15:44that John let the bull in.
15:50Well, do you think that I should speak to Aaron?
15:52I'm not getting involved, okay?
15:54Leave me out of it.
15:56I'm certainly not apologising to John.
15:58Yeah, I think you already said that and all.
16:00But you do think that I should say sorry to Aaron?
16:02I don't know.
16:04It's up to you. It might be an idea.
16:06Before you spoil your little bromance.
16:10Bromance?
16:12Okay, sorry. Beautiful friendship.
16:16Are you jealous?
16:18Ha!
16:22Okay, fine. If it makes you happy, I'll do it.
16:24Might as well get it over and done with.
16:28I love you.
16:40Hello?
16:42What do you want?
16:44Is your mum around?
16:46Can't you get the message? You're not welcome here.
16:48I just want to talk.
16:50I've already told you.
16:52If you want to talk to her, you go through me.
16:54Arthur, I'm not here to cause trouble, okay?
16:56I just want to give her this.
16:58What's that?
17:00Listen, I've been doing a bit of thinking
17:02since me and you spoke earlier.
17:04And you're right.
17:06I want your mum to feel secure here.
17:10Knowing that I won't contest the place.
17:14I want things to be amicable, okay?
17:16Life is too short to be arguing
17:18about money and houses.
17:20I'm glad you've come to your senses.
17:22Finally.
17:26What happened between me and you earlier,
17:28it spooked me, if I'm honest.
17:32You being like that.
17:34Yeah, well, you deserve it.
17:36Well, maybe so, but just don't
17:38become like me, Arthur, okay?
17:40That's all I'm saying.
17:42Trust me. I can see it in you.
17:44And you don't want that.
17:47You might not be my real son,
17:49but it feels like you are.
17:51Even if you can't stand the sight of me.
17:54The last thing I want is you and me
17:56at each other's throats, alright?
17:58So any game playing
18:00stops it.
18:06I didn't expect to see you.
18:12You're both looking so serious.
18:14Jay's come to give you something.
18:20I won't be contesting the house.
18:22And I've put it in writing.
18:25It's all yours.
18:27No more arguments.
18:35Hi, John.
18:37Can we chat?
18:39Just before you make any decisions about leaving.
18:41It's just...
18:43I really want you to stay.
18:45And I wondered
18:47if we could talk about it.
18:49So just
18:51call me back, okay?
18:53With any luck, Rose will get bored
18:55and move on.
18:57Unless someone else
18:59has got it in for me.
19:03You making a cup of lydia?
19:05Maybe. Yeah, I'm just having a quick coffee.
19:07I wouldn't put it past her.
19:09I never saw her
19:11throw in them flowers.
19:13How do I know that it's not her?
19:15And there's been some strange comments and funny looks.
19:17You really think
19:19she could do something like this?
19:21I don't know. Maybe.
19:23All I'm saying is
19:25I can't rule it out.
19:27I suppose.
19:29So, why didn't you ask her?
19:41I just
19:45wanted to say I'm sorry.
19:47It's not me you should be apologising to.
19:49Well, I'm not going to apologise
19:51to him, am I?
19:53Listen, I know I
19:55overstepped the mark.
19:57It's none of my business
19:59who you see or what you do.
