00:00How's little man doing?
00:13Oh, he didn't sleep well last night. Good choice to be in the spare room.
00:17Yeah, well, I would have rather had been with you. Look, I'll stay with him tonight if you're
00:22gonna be restless again.
00:23Depends how sore your lip is.
00:26Yeah.
00:27One lucky punch, that.
00:28Yeah.
00:29You sure you're all right?
00:34Yeah, it's just, um, I didn't say yesterday, but when the client caught me in the face,
00:41I fell on some gym equipment and bruised my side.
00:45Ouch. Double blow to the ego.
00:48Look, I'm sorry I wasn't there to pick up Evan yesterday.
00:53No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.
00:58And you seem to be suffering enough. I'll forgive you just this once.
01:04Anyway, what are we doing today? Think I might take Evan out for some fresh air, if you're
01:10all right, to look after the kids?
01:11Yeah, actually, um, I've got a lead on another car. Seems like a bargain. But I can call
01:17and rearrange.
01:18No, you do what you have to do.
01:20No, I'll be quick, I promise. And then I'll stay with the kids as long as you need.
01:26And that's why I love you.
01:33So that's one Americano and one bacon on toast. Shouldn't it be two? Or is Kim more of a
01:41muesli kind of a woman?
01:43I know there's a connection here, I just can't seem to figure it out.
01:47You, waving the flag of peace, calling a ceasefire and trying to save your marriage.
01:53Oh, that.
01:54That. I thought that's what you wanted.
01:56Yeah, the end result. It's all the suffering beforehand that bothers me. What happens if
02:00she tells me where to get off?
02:02There's only one way to find out.
02:03Yeah, I know, but what if...
02:06I really don't like it when you're right. You get this smug face thing going on.
02:11The one that makes you want to punch me. Nicola might have mentioned it once or twice.
02:17Okay, I'll talk to her, if it shuts you up.
02:21I happen to know that Kim loves a chai latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, if you're interested.
02:29Are you being a mate or are you upselling me?
02:32Are the two mutually exclusive?
02:36No, but it's not nagging if someone is genuinely trying to help and care for you.
02:41And you think giving me condoms will do that?
02:43I want you to have a good time, but be safe.
02:46I'm seriously not having this conversation again.
02:48Alright, pretend I'm Ashley and I gave you these cond...
02:50No! No, it's still not working.
02:52Okay, fine. But this subject is not closed, alright? But lucky for you, I've got a bit of work.
03:02You get in the chat, lucky you.
03:05Oh, God, you heard that? I mean, talk about cringe. Why would she do that?
03:10Er, because she cares, maybe.
03:13Yeah, too much sometimes.
03:15Look, I've got to fix a headlight on the van later. You couldn't give us a hand?
03:20You want me to help?
03:22You catch on fast. And the way I look at it, you owe us a favour, right?
03:30Sam's visiting Samson today. He always goes really quiet. Bittersweet, I suppose.
03:36Well, I've had my fair share of that, believe me. From both sides of the table.
03:41I'm sorry. Here I am prattling on, and you've got your own worries.
03:45Hey, we're friends. I like hearing about your life.
03:50Let's face it, it can't be as much of a car crash as mine.
03:54Between us, we could write a book. Let's just hope we both get the ending we want.
03:59Well, I'm a long way from that.
04:04See what I mean?
04:05Look, I know I'm probably the last person you want to see.
04:08And yet, in you come anyway. Astute and stupid in equal measures, it would seem.
04:14Do you know, I should be cracking on with them skirting boards.
04:16One day I'm going to work out just how many miles of them there are in here.
04:23I bought you a chai thingy. But I can go.
04:28You've already ruined my morning. Might as well double down.
04:39Look, what the hell are you doing here? This is my home.
04:42I know. And I'm impressed. I can see why you fight. Obviously got a lot to lose.
04:47Right, so do yourself a favour, because if my wife sees you here...
04:50I wouldn't have to track you down if you'd answer your text messages.
04:53You're wasting your time.
04:54You put on a good show yesterday. Even with a hole in your side.
04:58Kind of made me want to see more.
05:00I'm seriously not interested in what you've got to say.
05:02How would you know, unless you've heard it?
05:05Have you dropped me in this?
05:08You alright? Just brought Evan out for some fresh air.
05:12Is everything OK?
05:14It would be, if Billy would do as I ask.
05:18Meaning what?
05:19It's nothing. A client recommended me.
05:21And as luck would have it, I was just passing.
05:23Is that luck, or is that a bit stalkery? No offence.
05:25Well, that depends, doesn't it, on whether I get myself a new PT out of it.
05:30You know, my mate's always raving on about how good he is.
05:33If there's a slot going, I want it.
05:36Yeah, I see. But right now, I'm going to focus on my family, so...
05:40If you say so.
05:42My mate gave you my number. I'm happy to pay over the odds.
05:46Let me know, yeah?
05:49With a driver and a car like that, you should double the price.
05:53Yeah, well, Evan's just got home.
05:55And I know that yesterday wasn't great, but...
05:58he comes first.
06:00Well, if she'll pay good money, you'd be daft not to think about it.
06:07I'm going to go.
06:09See you later.
06:11See you later.
06:13See you later.
06:15Not to think about it.
06:19To be honest, I half expected to end up with a horse's head in me bed after yesterday.
06:24Odd reference, given what you know about me and my love for horses.
06:28Oh, yeah. Sorry, I was just referencing that scene in the...
06:32Yeah, I know what you meant.
06:35You thought I'd take revenge on you for Kerry.
06:38Yeah.
06:40Well, then I realised that I'd done just the same thing with Peter,
06:45and I couldn't see the point.
06:47Except I didn't sleep with Kerry.
06:51I lied. We didn't, you know, actually do haute.
06:55Had too much to drink, had we?
06:57I'm not proud of it, but I...
06:59I paid her to pretend that we'd been together.
07:02With my money?
07:04With our money. But if that's what you want to take from this,
07:07I was hoping to prove how messed up this whole thing had gotten me.
07:12And you're telling me this because...?
07:14Because I wanted you to know the truth,
07:16and if there was any glimmer of hope left for us that...
07:18After everything we've done to each other?
07:21Look, I know it's a big ask, and I deserve everything I get, but...
07:25I couldn't live with myself if I didn't tell you how I feel.
07:30And then what?
07:32We wiped the slate clean?
07:35We both know things could never be the same.
07:38That doesn't mean that we can't try, does it?
07:42Look, I don't expect you to answer right now, but...
07:45think about it, please.
07:48At least give us that.
07:50Don't worry, I will.
07:54Well, you know where I am.
08:06Yeah, they're working.
08:11Nice one.
08:13Thanks for that. Here, let me get you a brew.
08:16How come you've been so nice to me after...?
08:18Telling everyone we had a hook-up.
08:21Not your finest moment.
08:23I just wanted to seem like I had more experience.
08:25Yeah, I know.
08:27You're not the only one who's ever felt like that.
08:29In Australia, I could be the real me.
08:32But here, I just feel so stifled sometimes.
08:36Everyone expects me to just be Arthur.
08:39It's going to take time to figure out where to go and who to see.
08:44You might feel like you're leading a double life sometimes,
08:47but you will get through it.
08:50I'm glad someone thinks that.
08:52And look, don't take this the wrong way,
08:55but if you ever need any advice or...
08:58Seriously?
08:59I just said it, didn't I?
09:01Don't make me regret it.
09:03Thanks.
09:05Hey, you're moving well, like nothing happened.
09:09That's the plan.
09:11So everyone knows that they can't bring me down.
09:13I like what they think.
09:14Yeah, well, I hope that doesn't include me.
09:17How could it? I love spending time with you.
09:20And if things weren't like they are?
09:23I don't know what you're getting at, but you might as well just say it.
09:25Look, what I'm trying to say is, Tom...
09:28Are we still going to be seeing each other, or are you just trying to use me?
09:45Look, there's a wee park round the back of the cafe.
09:47It'd be great if you could take a look at it.
09:49Look, I've already told you I can't.
09:50I'm helping Moira out at the farm today.
09:53All right, well, I can bring it up to you if you like.
09:56Look, if it needs work doing, I'd rather know now.
09:59All right, so that's where you're putting all your winnings.
10:02I take it Don doesn't know about your latest influx of cash?
10:05What, like I've got a death wish?
10:07And what about the gaping hole in your side?
10:10She hasn't seen it.
10:12I slept in the spare room,
10:14and this I thought I had got from a boxer-sized client.
10:17Well, you really are digging yourself a hole.
10:20OK, then, so what would you have done?
10:22Mate, I'm not judging.
10:24You know, I've made my fair share of bad decisions,
10:26but that's why I know they always come back to bite you.
10:28Yeah, not this time.
10:29Now that I've got enough money for a car,
10:31I'm going to concentrate on my family,
10:32and I'll tell Jade that I'm done once and for all.
10:34Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:35Who's Jade?
10:37She's the one who runs the fights.
10:39Only she's turned up at the house earlier, wanting to talk.
10:42We all know what that means.
10:44Hang on, you said you weren't going to fight again.
10:46Yeah, I know, OK?
10:48Look, I took a risk, and so far it paid off.
10:51I heard what John said yesterday,
10:53and I might not get so lucky next time.
10:56Billy, this isn't about the money for you anymore, is it?
10:59You're getting a kick out of this, aren't you?
11:01Yeah, well, nothing is worth how bad I feel right now.
11:05And family.
11:07Family comes first.
11:09End of.
11:11What? I'm still alive to tell you the tale?
11:13I mean, that's a good sign, right?
11:14See? I told you.
11:16Good for you.
11:18Unless Kim's keeping it powdered, right?
11:20If she's waiting for me to say too much to incriminate myself,
11:23then she's going to go for jugular.
11:25Or she's as tired of this whole sorry saga as you are.
11:30Wars of attrition can get you down.
11:33I should know.
11:35Nicola's a master of them.
11:36Jimmy, if I could...
11:38Two secs, we've got a mini man club going on here.
11:40Oh, really?
11:41Anything I can help with?
11:43Me and Kim, I'm just trying to call a ceasefire.
11:45Well, good for you.
11:46That's what I said.
11:48I'm afraid that Kim might just be biding her time.
11:51That it's more of a Cold War period than all-out conflict.
11:54I suppose only time will tell.
11:59It's Kim.
12:01She wants to meet you this afternoon.
12:04You know, like, when the eyes on a picture follow you around the room?
12:09It's kind of like that.
12:11Except you can't see the eyes.
12:13A friend of mine had tendencies.
12:16Used to sit chatting to some spirit.
12:19Really?
12:20Everyone thought she was doing it for attention, but...
12:23I believed her.
12:25Oh, that'll be my cue to leave.
12:27I can take out my frustrations on the bathroom tiles.
12:30I use a toothbrush.
12:31It's really good at getting into the little awkward bits.
12:33But...
12:34Sorry, we can pick this up another time.
12:36Well, yeah, if I've not been possessed by Noreen by then!
12:40Ah!
12:44Ignore her.
12:45We have got every right to be enjoying ourselves together.
12:48That's what people in relationships do.
12:51Right?
12:52Yeah.
12:53Look, you make me happy.
12:54And that is all that matters.
12:56And all this talk of me using you is complete rubbish.
12:59I'm sorry, Tom, it's just something what Lydia said.
13:01Yeah, well, it's not like she's biased at all, is it?
13:04Look, I get it.
13:06Of course I do.
13:07Can't be easy being in a relationship with a village pariah.
13:11But they don't know the real me.
13:13Not like you.
13:15I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.
13:17Look, you're not losing me, Tom.
13:19Look, if anything, I'm ready to take things to the next level.
13:24I want that too.
13:26But...
13:27we both agreed that we're gonna wait.
13:29And that way, it'll be way more special.
13:33You do understand?
13:34Yeah, of course I do.
13:37SIGHS
13:42Hey.
13:43How did it go? Did you get the car?
13:45Yeah, yeah.
13:46Managed to knock him down a bit while I was there.
13:48Well, let's see it, then.
13:50It's with Mac, the farm.
13:51He's given it a once-over.
13:53Drove fine.
13:54Nothing's fallen off so far.
13:55Well, that's him better nicked than you are, then.
13:58How's your side?
13:59Yeah, it's fine.
14:01Go and put something on the bruises if you want.
14:04Are you all right?
14:05Yeah, I'm just a clumsy fool.
14:07If anything, I'm embarrassed.
14:09And that's all it is?
14:13I mean, we're all right. You and me.
14:15Course we are.
14:16Never better.
14:19Well, let's take our new car for a spin later.
14:21OK.
14:22I'll call Mac and maybe we can take the kids for a drive-through or something.
14:26Sounds perfect.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Come here.
14:29I love you, you know that.
14:31And I know things haven't been easy lately.
14:34But we've got each other.
14:36And this amazing family.
14:38That's all I need.
14:39Me too.
14:51Oh, are you cooking?
14:53Well, if you call heating a soup Lydia made cooking, then yes.
14:58Plenty to go around.
15:00Oh, sounds great. Thanks.
15:03I would say it's just like old times, but I don't want to tempt fate.
15:07Why don't we just enjoy it for what it is?
15:10And what is it?
15:12Condemn man eating his last meal or...?
15:15You just can't help yourself, can you?
15:17Always have to push things too far.
15:20No, sorry, I'm just a bit nervous.
15:23This means so much to me.
15:25And what is this exactly?
15:27Us.
15:28Being civil for once.
15:29Trying to work things out like grown-ups.
15:32You think I acted like a child?
15:34We've both been guilty of letting our feelings cloud our judgement.
15:37Like paying Kerry to pretend to sleep with you?
15:40Well, at least I didn't go through with it.
15:42Oh, and here we are again.
15:44That wasn't meant as a dig.
15:45And yet it was.
15:47Let's face it.
15:49Too much has happened to ever go back.
15:52Look, I'm not saying that it's going to be easy,
15:54but if it's what we both want...
15:57That's just it. I'm not sure it is.
16:00I'm just so tired of all this bickering now.
16:04I'm on edge in my own home most of the time.
16:07That's no way to live.
16:08I get that.
16:10We will figure something out.
16:13I already have.
16:15I know I've said it before, but...
16:17I want you to move out.
16:21Look, that can't be right.
16:23It's just some little old bloke said that he was going to give up driving.
16:27Yeah, sorry, mate. You've been stung.
16:30What you've got there is a classic cut and shove,
16:32and a bad one at that.
16:34You're lucky that thing didn't split in two driving up here.
16:37I don't believe this.
16:39The number's dead.
16:40Yeah, of course it is.
16:42They use burners, these guys.
16:44Falsify documents. They're professionals.
16:47So what am I supposed to do now, then?
16:49Sell it all.
16:51No, there's only one person that can take that off your hands, and that's Vinnie.
16:54Because that is not fit to be in the road.
16:56Great.
16:57So my winning is down the drain, then?
16:59I'm supposed to be taking the kids out for a drive-through.
17:02There might need to be a delivery instead.
17:04Dawn, he's going to kill me.
17:05And I don't blame her.
17:07All I seem to do is let her down.
17:11We could ask Charles.
17:13You know, see if he could exercise Noreen.
17:16Sean, what?
17:18Then it is her house, and I feel bad for forcing her out.
17:21Well, there's no need for that, is there?
17:25Are you kidding me, Ryan?
17:27I can't live in a haunted house. I'm far too sensitive.
17:30Well, you won't have to, OK?
17:33I've told Charles we're going to move in here.
17:36Seriously?
17:37Well, I own it, don't I?
17:39Well, I can't own it.
17:41Maybe then we'll finally get some sleep.
17:44Oh, thank you.
17:46Hey, how's Samson?
17:48Did you give him the picture of Esther?
17:50Yeah, yeah, he loved it.
17:53OK, well, I'll see you later.
17:55Ta-ra.
17:56Oh, you've missed Lydia.
17:57Something about bathroom towels and toothbrushes?
18:00Oh, right.
18:02Yeah, I'll just have a pint.
18:04I'll get Sam's.
18:06Look, you'd do with cheering up.
18:09I don't know if a pint will do it, but thanks.
18:13How's Samson getting on?
18:16Really, I mean.
18:18Yeah, he's proper down, to be honest.
18:21Hardly says two words most of the time.
18:24But I can't let folk know that, can I?
18:27And if Lydia found out, she'd be even more worried than she is now.
18:30Yeah.
18:31Can't keep these things bottled up inside.
18:34Why not?
18:36Let's face it, if I'd have been a better dad,
18:39I would never have ended up in prison in the first place.
18:41Well, that's far from true.
18:43You're one of the best dads I know.
18:45What?
18:47Look, no offence, but I'd rather just drink this on my own.
18:52So the car's stolen?
18:55More like two write-offs welded together.
18:59Matt reckons it's a death trap, so...
19:02So no car, no savings?
19:05Some savings.
19:07Enough to pay for the extra heating next month.
19:10But basically, we're back to square one.
19:12I don't believe this.
19:14Look, I'm sorry, okay? You were right.
19:17I got excited and I probably should have taken Matt with me to view it.
19:22I don't know what we did in a past life,
19:24but why does everything go wrong for us?
19:27I know it might feel like that.
19:29And things are probably gonna get tough again,
19:31but I'll work extra hard to make the money back.
19:34You know that, right?
19:36Well, you're gonna have to take that posh client from this morning.
19:38As many as you can get.
19:41I will, okay?
19:44I'll contact her and I'll sort something out.
19:46Like you said, double the price.
19:49Wherever it takes.
19:51Look, Dawn, I can't stress how sorry I am.
19:54No.
19:56I know you are.
19:58It's not your fault.
20:00It's just the worst timing, isn't it?
20:04I just need time to process this.
20:11We've both done things we regret.
20:13Why don't we just call it even and draw a line under...
20:20So when you said that you wanted me to move out...
20:23I meant today.
20:25Living under the same roof isn't working, and you know it.
20:28But this is our marital home.
20:30In my name. That I owned before we got together.
20:33Kim...
20:35Oh, and just so as you know, I've drained our joint accounts.
20:38So from now on, the bank of Kim is closed.
20:41You can't do that. Half of it...
20:43Go on. Say it again.
20:45Not that it'll make any difference.
20:48We've said some terrible things.
20:51I had hoped it was because of how hurt we felt,
20:54that we were just lashing out.
20:56Well, now you know otherwise.
