00:00Dad, the police are outside. They must be here for me, Dad.
00:20Myra Dingle, I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.
00:22You know how stupid this is?
00:24It's all right, darling.
00:25You do not have to say anything.
00:26It's jaw tape you should be arresting.
00:28What's happening?
00:28You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
00:34something you'll later rely on in court.
00:35Dad?
00:36Anything you do say may be given in evidence. I presume I don't need the cuffs.
00:40Do you really think I'm going to make a run for it?
00:42So that's an all, then.
00:43Good.
00:43Who made the call?
00:44I'm not at liberty to say I made the complaint. Shall we?
00:51I'll be home soon, sweetheart. Don't worry.
00:53Hello?
01:09Hello?
01:20Thanks, Em.
01:22Lydia?
01:26I, erm...
01:29I'm so sorry to disturb you, but...
01:32Ooh.
01:34Moira's really done a number on you, huh?
01:37That looks like it hurts.
01:39Look, I'm not being rude or out, but...
01:42What brings you here?
01:44Well, firstly, to check up on Lydia.
01:47Well, I've been better.
01:49Hospital says it's just bruises.
01:51Well, the other reason was to apologise.
01:55For you getting hurt.
01:56And for you getting in the middle of all of our current difficulties.
02:00You mean feud.
02:02Let's call it what it is, Joe.
02:04Yeah.
02:05We all know why Moira lost it.
02:07I want to be very clear.
02:08I had absolutely nothing to do with those thugs threatening Kyle.
02:13It is not how I operate.
02:15Okay?
02:16I understand that our families have had our moments over the years.
02:22You're not kidding.
02:24It's...
02:25It's different with you two.
02:27Sure.
02:28You must know that I...
02:32I like you.
02:34You know?
02:35Lydia, you're one of Kim's best friends.
02:38And throw into the mix the fact that a child was put in harm's way.
02:42That is a line I am never willing to cross.
02:45You must understand that.
02:46I know you have your doubts.
02:49I just hope that one day you can believe me.
02:53In the meantime, have you spoken to the police?
02:57Course not.
02:58I'm not going to call them on Moira.
03:00Maybe not.
03:02But I would.
03:03And I have, in fact, reported her for assault.
03:06So, the police might be wanting a statement.
03:10You do realise the position that puts me in?
03:13The position Moira has put you in.
03:15This all started as a civilised business proposal.
03:19She took it to the next level.
03:26Civilised, isn't it?
03:29You've been able to serve me, of all people.
03:31As long as there isn't any trouble.
03:33No, not from me.
03:35Although, if there was, doubtless John would swoop in to the rescue.
03:43Come on.
03:44You must have noticed.
03:46He's there any time anything goes wrong.
03:49Oh, sorry.
03:51Have you got a point?
03:52Eric said that John was the one who saved you.
03:54Something about your medication.
03:57Liam's psycho ex.
04:00Well, it must be nice to have Superman in the family.
04:02Well, it's certainly preferable to being dead.
04:05So, are you saying he's a wrong-un for helping people?
04:08No, no. I'm saying you're lucky to have him around.
04:11Or...unlucky.
04:13I mean, there's all that stuff with Jacob, too, and his allergy pen.
04:18I don't know. Maybe John's a jinx.
04:20I'd just, er...I'd watch out.
04:22Wow.
04:24The jealousy really has got to you, hasn't it?
04:25And I've got to say, it's not a great look.
04:37Hiya!
04:39Oh, sorry. I didn't want to make you jump.
04:41It's all right. I was just a bit, erm...dumb out.
04:44Er, you haven't seen anyone strange hanging around.
04:46It appears that we have a thief in the village.
04:49Oh. Yeah.
04:50Somebody's stolen Arthur's tracksuit bottoms from the line.
04:53Are you sure you haven't just, er, misplaced him?
04:56No, no. It was really weird.
04:57I felt like somebody was watching me when I was hanging the washer now.
05:00So, I went inside, came back out, and there was a big gap...
05:03...where the tracksuit bottoms were.
05:04So, I think Arthur's not going to be best pleased.
05:08Oh, would you mind giving him a call?
05:09Because I know he's giving you a bit of space, but...
05:12...he does miss you, love.
05:22Your, er, solicitor's caught in traffic.
05:25Be here in a minute.
05:27Right.
05:29Erm...
05:31Do you know how much trouble I'm in?
05:33Erm...potentially.
05:36I'm not really supposed to talk till that's on.
05:38I...I know, but...
05:40...you must have some idea, surely.
05:43Okay, it's...not good.
05:46Potentially.
05:48Look, I was in a state.
05:50And you know I was.
05:52They threatened Kyle.
05:53There's no evidence the takes were involved.
05:56Meantime, you were about to physically attack Joel.
05:59Lydia gets decked.
06:01Victim and witness.
06:03Lydia wouldn't say anything.
06:07Joe.
06:09Joe Tate called you in.
06:11Either way.
06:13You could be looking at six months.
06:14Hey.
06:24Got something for you.
06:27Oh, be still my beating heart.
06:29Folic acid.
06:30Really good for a developing fetus.
06:31I mean, only if you can be bothered.
06:33There's no pressure or anything.
06:34Yeah, we're really trying not to pressure you.
06:36That's good to know.
06:38Actually, there are a few supplements that might be useful for you to get hold of.
06:41Yeah, but we could make a list. I heard zinc's really good.
06:44Yeah, I'm not sure I want to be down on a load of pills.
06:47I know I get it, but it would be really good for the baby.
06:51If it takes, there's still a week.
06:54I know it will. I know it will.
06:56You know, there's probably a multivitamin that covers all bases. I'll look into it.
07:00I wonder if there's a more natural way of doing it, like nettle soup.
07:03That's supposed to be really good for iron, you know, if you get anemic.
07:06Well, what will you do? Go and nip out and grab a load of stinging nettles for me?
07:10Could you look up a recipe?
07:12Yeah. Yeah, if you want me to.
07:14And get this, they're bioavailable.
07:16Wow.
07:17Swallowed a dictionary, have you? Or have you learnt any big words from him?
07:20Well, you know, he's gonna be a doctor.
07:22Yes, and I'm a mother.
07:24Four times over, thank you. I don't need any instructions.
07:29Hmm.
07:35Miss you, Mum.
07:45You can come out, Dylan.
07:47I know it's you.
07:51Alright.
07:59I was wondering when you'd show up.
08:14No, I need a word. I've always been arrested.
08:17I thought she might be.
08:19Had some advance warning, did we?
08:21Oh, well, thanks for the vote of confidence.
08:23No, Joe was here. He told me he'd reported her.
08:26So you haven't spoken to the police yet?
08:28No.
08:30Right, so...
08:32We need to work out what you're gonna say to them.
08:34I got punched, Cain. Look at me!
08:37What'd you expect me to say?
08:39No, you fell over, you walked into a door. I don't know. Just get creative.
08:43You...you're telling me to lie?
08:45I don't think I can do that.
08:50Lydia, this isn't a request you'd do as you're told, alright?
08:54It's not my fault that Joe went to the police.
08:57And it certainly isn't my fault that Moira lost it.
09:00And it's not hers, either, after what Joe did.
09:02Joe promised me that he had nothing to do with that.
09:05And you believed him?
09:07Of course you did.
09:09Because Lydia believes anyone who makes promises.
09:12How gullible are you?
09:14Don't you tell me what to think, Cain, Dingle.
09:16Just because you expect the worst of people.
09:18Moira's been arrested and my son has been traumatised.
09:21All because Joe couldn't get what he wanted for Kim.
09:23So I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.
09:27When Moira says she didn't touch you, you're gonna say just the same.
09:31Do I make myself clear?
09:33And if I say no?
09:36I wouldn't.
09:38I really wouldn't.
10:03You alright?
10:09Hiya.
10:11Yeah, Foreman was the one with the skill.
10:14But at least still one.
10:15Yeah, only because of all that rope and oats stuff.
10:18Erm, any chance of a cappuccino?
10:20Yeah, sure. Take a seat. I'll bring it over.
10:28Got a sec.
10:34Er, well erm...
10:35I was just wondering if you would be interested in my outreach programme.
10:39It's a group I run for ex-offenders.
10:42You know.
10:44General support, finding work, that kind of thing.
10:47Why don't you text me the details?
10:50I will.
10:51Of course you'd, er, have to remember your pin.
10:56Oh, yeah. Mind like a sieve.
10:59Wait till you get to my age, mate.
11:06Hey, I just found this. Is it yours?
11:07You're welcome.
11:20You're welcome.
11:25Come in.
11:26The police called. They, er, need a statement from you.
11:37Running errands for them, are we?
11:39Well, I get the impression they've been trying to contact you.
11:42When they came here, no-one answered the door and your phone's not been on.
11:46I've been out. I'm busy.
11:48Right.
11:52Must be difficult for you.
11:54Do you think so?
11:57Do you really think Moira should be getting away with acts of such violence?
12:01All I did was make an ill-advised comment.
12:04It's a bit more than ill-advised, don't you think?
12:07I was simply suggesting that, as a dingle,
12:11Kyle had seen some pretty rough stuff.
12:13I wasn't referring to...
12:15Al, was I?
12:17And I certainly wasn't saying that any of this was okay.
12:19Yeah, I know.
12:21But Moira had already been pushed to the brink.
12:23Yeah, and it wasn't me that pushed her there.
12:25It was just civilised business.
12:28Don't keep saying it was civilised.
12:30It was you lot waging a war against each other.
12:33And it kicked off long before yesterday.
12:40You've been putting the pressure on.
12:44It was just business.
12:45It was why Moira thought you were behind them blokes coming in.
12:51They threatened Kyle.
12:55Can you honestly say
12:57that if you'd have been in Moira's position
12:59and it was Dawn's kids that were in the firing line,
13:02that you wouldn't have done something the same?
13:04It would have been worse.
13:06I've grown to...
13:09care for those kids.
13:13Right.
13:15Well, can you really blame Moira for losing it then?
13:18I can't believe you're really here.
13:23What can I tell you?
13:25I'm real.
13:27True enough.
13:28Who else would be stealing from washing lines?
13:30You were pretty good at it too, I seem to remember.
13:32Right.
13:33It was freezing and there were no central heating
13:35where we were keeping, whereas now...
13:37Habit.
13:39So you didn't need them.
13:41Arthur's trekkie bottoms.
13:43Because I notice you're rocking them now.
13:45Me? No.
13:46Summer, innit?
13:47I saw them and I couldn't help myself.
13:50You know what I'm asking, Dylan.
13:52Last time I saw you, you were about to go to rehab.
13:55What happened?
13:57Did it work or...
13:59are you back out there?
14:01Oh, seriously?
14:05Oh, come on, it won't do you any harm.
14:08I don't know.
14:10Can you OD on supplements?
14:12Right, now, be a good girl, it's for the baby.
14:14What, so if I'm pregnant?
14:16Yeah, and you will be.
14:20Look, I'm sorry if I've been a bit full on.
14:22I promise I will back off.
14:24No, I know that you're excited.
14:26Well, yeah, it's not just that.
14:28Doing all this stuff, it's...
14:29like I get to experience it, sort of.
14:32You know, in an ideal world, it'd be Jacob fussing over me.
14:35I'd be the one looking through baby catalogues for me.
14:38Yeah.
14:40Hey, at least you won't experience morning sickness.
14:41I would kill for it and you know it.
14:44No, I know.
14:48Oh, it's Jacob, he wants to meet up.
14:50Nice.
14:51Why don't you go and have some fun?
14:53Well, what if I wanna hang out with the mum-to-be?
14:56Sarah, if you want me to beg, I'll beg.
14:58Please, go and have some fun.
15:01Well, if you're begging.
15:03See you later.
15:04Bye.
15:13Right, is it...
15:15is it just me or are you finding her excitement a little bit much?
15:19I'm just feeling a bit scared, that's all.
15:22What if the treatment hasn't worked?
15:25Mac, if I can't carry this baby for her, she's gonna be devastated.
15:28What?
15:32Nothing.
15:34Erm, it'll be fine.
15:37But then if it's not,
15:39we will work it out.
15:42Okay?
15:44Yeah.
15:50It were hard rehab, I'm not saying it wasn't.
15:53But?
15:55It took some work, but I'm clean.
15:56You know, managed to turn my life around.
16:00Got a place in Hotton.
16:02Sharing it with a mate.
16:04Managed to get a job as well.
16:06Point is, I'm...
16:08I'm not using.
16:10I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that.
16:12Guess I got your dad to thank for that.
16:15Dylan, he framed you for stealing cat.
16:18Yeah, and he got me into rehab, didn't he?
16:20Cos he felt bad or whatever.
16:22Swings and roundabouts.
16:23I suppose so.
16:26What's the job?
16:28Er, I just run errands and deliver messages for some business guys.
16:32Pays bills. It's no fancy-like job you said you'd got.
16:35Event planning's not fancy.
16:37Bet it pays better than mine. Do you like it?
16:39I love it.
16:41Can't get me dad on board, though.
16:43He just wants me back in school.
16:45I knew you'd understand it.
16:48Good job I'm here, then.
16:50I'm really glad you are.
16:52Come here.
16:57Well, there I was thinking Robert was alright with me these days.
17:01Well, don't get me wrong.
17:03I wasn't exactly slagging you off, but he just kept on going on about how you'd saved me.
17:08It really bothered him.
17:10Now you'd done a bad thing.
17:12Well, guess I can't do right for doing wrong, eh?
17:15He's jealous.
17:17Just hang on a minute.
17:19You're telling me?
17:21You had an opportunity to tell her and you bottled it?
17:23How can I say anything?
17:24I've been all over the place with her about it.
17:26I told her that I wasn't okay, then I told her that I was.
17:28I can't keep going back and forth.
17:29It'll do her head in.
17:31Can you just keep quiet?
17:32I don't want anyone else knowing.
17:33Okay.
17:35You alright?
17:44You're out, then?
17:46Complaint dropped, apparently.
17:48Oh, God. Look at your face.
17:51Lydia, I am so sorry.
17:54Will you ever be able to forgive me?
17:57Might need some time.
17:59Yeah, I know.
18:01Well, I'm mortified that I let myself get that wound up.
18:05But I promise you, I will make it up to you in any way I can.
18:09And I can't tell you how grateful I am.
18:12For the statement.
18:13I didn't make a statement.
18:14Joe must have backtracked on his complaint.
18:17Why?
18:19What do you care?
18:20Got what you wanted, didn't you?
18:23Right, well, erm...
18:25Maybe we owe you a drink. You want another?
18:27What, ah?
18:29Not taking hope from you.
18:31Something on your mind, Sammy?
18:34Only you bullying me, Mrs.
18:36Didn't bully anyone.
18:38Oh, so she's lying, is she?
18:41Either way, we're not in the mood for socialising with either of you.
18:44Come on.
18:56Hey! How's London?
18:58OK, before any of that, you owe me some answers.
19:01That text!
19:02Oh, yeah. I was trying to keep you in the loop.
19:05Yeah, you told me what happened, but not who was responsible.
19:08Did you send those thugs to Moira's farm?
19:11Er, of course not.
19:13Come on. You know me.
19:15Yeah, I know you. Which is why I'm asking you.
19:17Yeah, I play hardball, but not if there's a legal way to do it.
19:20That's way easier.
19:22You told me you had a plan to make Moira sell.
19:26Yeah, I did have a plan.
19:28A very straightforward and legal plan, which is already set in motion.
19:33Trust me. Come on.
19:35OK, assuming, I believe you,
19:38if you weren't responsible...
19:40Which I wasn't.
19:42Then who was?
19:47I'm given a promise.
19:50I knew I was to trust him.
19:52How are I going?
19:56I've got the chances including.
19:58Now I've forgotten my Honor and be prepared to work.
20:00I've got to be prepared to apply for it.
20:02Abuse my my father你可以 to state my father.
20:04So that's my fatherus and everything!
20:07You can stay.
20:09My fatherus and no big cinco isaten.
20:11I wish he has one other sucker.
20:13But his fatherus has one other can...
20:14And you definitely didn't threaten Lydia.
20:26Of course not.
20:27I just told her she needs to get her priorities right and that's all.
20:30So what were you and I Sammy?
20:33Nothing much.
20:34Someone just needs to realise which side he's supposed to be on.
20:37You what?
20:38Your word.
20:39Oh, you wanna talk about sides?
20:41Sam, it's not worth it.
20:43What are you throwing your weight about with Lydia?
20:45Doesn't seem like you were on anyone's side except your own.
20:47What?
20:48You just need to realise that the Tates aren't your friends.
20:51Especially when you see the state my son's in.
20:53Think about family.
20:54Oh, right.
20:55Was Maura thinking about family when she'd done that to Lydia.
20:58You know that was an accident.
20:59In the meantime, my son's in prison.
21:01Because of family.
21:02It hurts any road.
21:03Hey, Matty wasn't responsible for that.
21:05And Joe wasn't responsible for what happened at your place.
21:08Because he said so.
21:09You're thick or what?
21:10You just can't stop yourself, can you?
21:12I'll just calm down a bit.
21:13Like you did yesterday.
21:15Leave her out of this.
21:16And if you wanna call someone thick, why don't you start with me?
21:19See what happens.
21:20You wanna do this now, do you, Sam, eh?
21:22Enough!
21:23I don't know what's going on with you two, but there's no scrappling here, alright?
21:27Cos I can't be doing with the aggro.
21:29We would go in any road.
21:31You need to pick a side, Sam.
21:33I've already picked one.
21:34And it ain't yours.
