00:00If you run, you'll make everything ten times worse.
00:21I am begging you, come home.
00:24We can fix this.
00:30Aaron.
00:42Hey.
00:45How are you feeling?
00:48Like I've downed a bucket of sambuca and then walked into a wall.
00:54At least you're making sense now.
00:57Talking all sorts of gibberish last night.
01:00Was I?
01:02Hey.
01:04How are you doing?
01:06Oh.
01:08I don't suppose one of you could ask about more painkillers, could you?
01:12Yeah.
01:13Yeah, of course we can.
01:15John, what happened yesterday?
01:17It was Robert, wasn't it?
01:18But why did he go for you?
01:21I've no idea.
01:23He hit me from behind out of the blue.
01:26Just totally unprovoked.
01:28Right.
01:30Well, the people at the desk said you hadn't spoken to the police yet.
01:34Not yet.
01:35No.
01:37But if you were here to ask me to lie...
01:38I think you're deluded.
01:40But he's not well right now.
01:42He's damaged and he needs help.
01:44Vic, he gave you a black eye.
01:47He's been lashing out since he got back.
01:48What are you waiting for for him to kill someone?
01:50I'm sorry, but I'm telling the police the truth.
01:53He attacked me for no reason.
01:55Hmm.
02:08Hey.
02:10What's this?
02:12Sausage and bacon bat.
02:13Hmm.
02:14Sorry, April.
02:17You had out?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Don't worry about me.
02:20Looks like you're making yourself comfortable in here.
02:24Hmm.
02:24Can't complain.
02:25Got running water.
02:26Lecky.
02:28All the fancy stuff.
02:30Be some view out front, too.
02:32Sounds like you're after sticking around.
02:35No harm in me staying home for a bit, is there?
02:37Yeah, well, not until we play Rubble's Field at home in a couple weeks, anyway.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Might stick me name down.
02:43I've seen them cricket teas.
02:45Oh, sorry, I forgot.
02:51How is it?
02:52Fine, yeah.
02:54Nearly better, because of you.
03:08Oi.
03:08Oh.
03:09No.
03:10Me and you are not square.
03:12Not by a long shot.
03:13What do you want, Ross?
03:14For you to give Moira a farm back.
03:16Bobby!
03:17Will you get off him?
03:19Give her a watcher back.
03:26You got your message?
03:27Yeah, so I see.
03:29Car keys.
03:35So we're going in then, or what?
03:37I am.
03:38What?
03:39I'm not sure I want you in my home right now.
03:42I've had enough of all this.
03:43I can't take any more.
03:44Right.
03:46Vic, you weren't there.
03:48You don't know what he said.
03:49It's like you wanted me to snap.
03:50No.
03:51John said it was totally unprovoked.
03:53Of course he did.
03:54You said you wanted to try and help me fix this?
03:56Yeah.
03:56By getting you to go down to the hospital and beg John not to drop you in it.
04:00He's not going to let me off this.
04:01He's probably rubbing his hands together right now.
04:03No, he's not like that.
04:05But if you're not even going to try...
04:06Well, then at least I'll still have a grain of self-respect left.
04:09Oh, to take to prison with you?
04:11Ask John to leave you out of it.
04:13Because otherwise, I'm not sure there's a way back for you, Robert.
04:16I'm not sure there's a way back for you, Robert.
04:31Eggs.
04:32Too many of them.
04:34Door.
04:34We use them to keep people out.
04:36A customer cancelled an order.
04:37I didn't want them going to waste.
04:39You say it like we're friends or something.
04:42In the habit of nipping in and out of each other's kitchens.
04:44I wanted a chat.
04:48About?
04:49Something we could help each other out with.
04:51Madam's grandson has found a way to hike my rent up a grand.
04:55No warning whatsoever.
04:57Not like him, to be greedy and unreasonable.
05:00Quite.
05:01Anyway, that posh spa hotel just past Ilkley needs a new meat supplier.
05:06It's part of a swanky chain.
05:08A mate of mine owns it.
05:10I'm sorry, but what's this got to do with me?
05:13You have beef.
05:14I can supply them with poultry, but the hotel wants beef too.
05:18So I was thinking, if we were to join forces...
05:21Me and you?
05:22Yes.
05:24Admittedly, it's not ideal, but since you're in such desperate need of cash...
05:29What?
05:30No point being shy about it.
05:32Especially when you have that whopping bill for that slurry spill of yours.
05:36Thanks.
05:40Here are some figures for you to look over.
05:42Ah, here you are.
05:58You've relocated your desk from the depot and forgot to mention it.
06:01I just fancied a change of scenery.
06:06It's a calf, Steph.
06:07There is no scenery.
06:08OK, Jay, I work better without interruptions.
06:13You do know that me asking you questions isn't considered to be an interruption.
06:17It's part of your job.
06:18Oh, looks like you found your hiding spot.
06:20What's that supposed to mean?
06:22Oh, no, no, it was just a joke.
06:26Steph thinks you're ace.
06:28Proper laugh.
06:30Yeah.
06:30I'll have an Americano to go, please.
06:33Yeah, yeah, no, props.
06:37Anyone exciting?
06:38My dad counts as exciting.
06:39I don't know.
06:40No, he's not.
06:42Wasn't sure if you were seeing someone.
06:45Are you?
06:47Right.
06:48Subtle.
06:49What do you mean?
06:50Right, so you're not asking me because your brother's Ross and after telling me yesterday
06:54that he still likes me.
06:56No, no, no, just taking an interest.
07:00Funny that Ross was the first place your mind went to, though.
07:03Are you still into him at all?
07:05You did hear me ask for an Americano, didn't you?
07:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
07:09So?
07:10Just make his coffee, Lewis.
07:14OK.
07:16Come in right up.
07:27Well, what are you thinking?
07:29That I feel uncomfortable when someone watches me read?
07:33It's a good deal.
07:33If you don't go for it, someone else will.
07:36All right.
07:38Let's go for it.
07:39Glad you've seen sense.
07:40You won't regret it.
07:42We should celebrate if you've got anything in.
07:44Er, sorry.
07:45No, I've got deliveries I need to crack on with.
07:49Another time, then.
07:51Right, well, I shall love you and leave you.
07:54Well, then you just leave me.
07:55I'll be in touch, Moira.
07:59What did she want?
08:00Oh, just some business stuff.
08:03Eh?
08:04Ain't she a head case?
08:06I think you're being a tad melodramatic.
08:08OK, fine.
08:14Celia suggested.
08:16Ooh!
08:18Celia now, is it?
08:19Don't do that.
08:21So, that just sounds a bit cosy, that's all.
08:24Well, it isn't.
08:25And keeping the farm afloat comes first.
08:28Excuse me.
08:29No, no, no.
08:48You can't be in here.
08:49No, no, no.
08:49I'm not going to do anything.
08:50I just want to talk.
08:52Jack, you're OK?
08:55What they said.
08:56You could have killed me.
09:01I'm so sorry.
09:03Are you?
09:04Of course I am.
09:05I'm an idiot.
09:07I got myself in a state and I snapped.
09:13Thing is, all the things you said to me...
09:17What things?
09:20You've had an infamy from the start, be honest.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Yeah, you're right.
09:24I didn't like you.
09:27I felt threatened by you.
09:29See, I was trained to fight, but only as a last resort.
09:32But you...
09:33You're a violent bully.
09:35I'm not.
09:37At least I wasn't before prison.
09:39And...
09:40I've just not been able to pull myself together since getting out.
09:44I felt like you'd taken my place.
09:49You're living my life with Vic, with Aaron.
09:52You mean the life you've sabotaged.
09:56Aaron's made a new life with me now.
09:57You need to accept it.
09:59Yeah, I know.
10:01I'm a mess.
10:03I'm...
10:03I'm scared.
10:07I'm tired of fighting you.
10:08Well, that's strange, because...
10:11I don't remember being given the option to fight back.
10:15But...
10:15But you're a coward like that.
10:24I'm learning.
10:26Look...
10:27I don't blame you if you never want to be near me again.
10:31But hating me enough to get me banged up in prison, I don't see it.
10:34That's why I'm...
10:38I'm begging you to throw me a lifeline here.
10:59Give me one reason I should spare you.
11:01Because, like I said, we're family, John.
11:05You, me, Vic.
11:08We're blood.
11:09Our dad.
11:10Your dad...
11:11Did nothing for me.
11:12I wasn't the chosen one.
11:13You think I was?
11:16Me and Jack...
11:18It wasn't like I'd made out.
11:21Whatever, Robert.
11:22No, I mean it.
11:26You're...
11:26The kind of son he would have wanted.
11:28I could never prove myself to him.
11:33Andy got closer, but you...
11:36Not afraid of graft.
11:39Brave enough to fight for your country.
11:41He'd have been beside himself.
11:45You know, Aaron's gunning for you.
11:47After blood.
11:48But you think I should put what you want before my own husband?
11:54Hmm?
11:56Because Aaron's the root of all of this, isn't he?
12:01Your ego can't handle that I'm the better man in his eyes.
12:05I admit I was jealous, but that's all done with now.
12:09What, I'm just meant to believe you.
12:12It's the truth.
12:13So, scrabbling around for dirt on me,
12:16trying to discredit me with nonsense theories...
12:18Was about my insecurities,
12:20and it's not going to happen anymore.
12:21Just like you are going nowhere near Aaron from now on.
12:25I won't.
12:26I get it.
12:26Wait, wait.
12:28I'm not done.
12:30You need to swear.
12:33I swear.
12:34I'll get help.
12:35If you cross me again,
12:42put so much as one toe out of line,
12:44if I hear you'd be making more lies up about me...
12:47You won't.
12:49You have my word.
12:53All right.
12:55All right, I won't tell the police it was you,
12:58but only because you begged me.
13:01And because you understand what will happen
13:03if you go back on that word.
13:05Right, any better for putting weight on it, yeah?
13:21Aye, you're a doctor now or something.
13:24No, seriously, you grab your scent
13:26and a couple of plasters, managing...
13:28Stop it!
13:28Do you want to maybe go to the cafe, OK?
13:36Er, nah.
13:37Prom's best not show my face, tell me.
13:47Hey, well, I'm glad I caught you.
13:49Hi, Laura, are you all right?
13:50Yeah.
13:51Do you mind letting Rona know
13:52that I'm on with my vet's bill,
13:53just in case she thinks I've forgotten?
13:55Yeah, sure.
13:58Oh, is your mate shy?
14:01Yeah.
14:04I've seen you before, haven't I?
14:06Er...
14:07Yeah, yeah, you were staying with Marlon a while ago.
14:10Yeah, right, he was.
14:11We still hang out sometimes.
14:12All right.
14:13Well, I'll, er, leave you to it then.
14:18See you later, I'll be back.
14:25So what did he actually say?
14:28Well, he openly admitted
14:31he was eaten up with jealousy.
14:34He practically got down on his knees and begged me.
14:36Well, that makes what he did OK, does it?
14:38He's playing you like he plays everyone else.
14:41You suggesting I'm gullible?
14:42No, I'm suggesting you're too decent for your own good.
14:44Well, I'd rather that than petty or malicious.
14:47Thank you so much.
14:50Well, I've told him he's on his last chance
14:53that if he even thinks about stepping out of line...
14:55He won't.
14:56I'll make sure of it.
14:57And I'll keep an eye on him while he's at mine.
14:59Brilliant.
15:00Well, that's great, isn't it?
15:01So he just gets away with it.
15:02Well, I wouldn't call being mentally scarred from prison
15:04and knowing you've attacked your own family
15:06getting away with it.
15:07But now he's apologised,
15:08hopefully that'll be a step in the right direction.
15:11Thank you for everything.
15:13Um, hi.
15:23Oh.
15:23Hey.
15:24How are you?
15:27Yeah.
15:28Yeah.
15:28I just got an urgent nonsense text from our kid.
15:32Believed to see he's not poisoning the customers, though.
15:34What with you coming back again today.
15:36Oh, right.
15:37Yeah.
15:37For you.
15:38Um, well, he's lovely.
15:41Mm.
15:44I should, um...
15:45Yeah, yeah.
15:46Of course.
15:47Yeah.
15:514,000 weeks, Ross.
15:55Speak of the ingly.
15:56See who play.
15:57That's how long an average lifetime is.
16:00Murder?
16:01Yeah.
16:02Yeah, you are.
16:03Makes you think, doesn't it?
16:06About...
16:07What, about how it takes you a week to get to the point?
16:10Grabbing life, you and Steph.
16:12Oh, so that's what the text was about, to drag me here.
16:15I knew you were spying on me yesterday.
16:17Why do you even care?
16:18Because you're my brother and I just want you to be happy.
16:20Why do you want me to be?
16:22Well.
16:24Look, me and Steph, it's...
16:26It's complicated.
16:27That's exactly what she said.
16:29Why?
16:29Because we've been through things.
16:31Things that...
16:32You wouldn't understand.
16:34Meaning you've got a head start.
16:37You'll know her better than some random new blokes.
16:38Oh, flipping heck, kid.
16:40Look, me and Steph, it's done.
16:42All right?
16:43Okay.
16:44Whatever.
16:45Are you okay?
16:54Yeah, I think so.
16:56You're a liar.
16:57You look awful.
16:59Oh.
17:00What's that?
17:01No, I mean it, though.
17:03You need to get that leg checked out, I have told you.
17:05I'm fine.
17:06It just aches a bit after that height you've just tried to get on.
17:10Dylan.
17:11It's a stab wound, April.
17:12It's not going to heal overnight, is it?
17:15Look, it's hard for worrying about me and that, but I've had them before, yeah.
17:22I know about this stuff.
17:32The delivery at work that they need me to sign for.
17:35So go.
17:36I'm set here, honest.
17:38Are you, though?
17:39Yeah.
17:39I'm going to have myself a nice afternoon, kid.
17:42Go on.
17:44I'll go off.
17:45Message me later, yeah?
18:17So, have you got any special requests tonight?
18:22They said to avoid exertion.
18:24I mean, do you want to get a takeaway and watch your phone, maybe?
18:28Well, I could go for a full cheese pizza and a bottle of that spiced rum.
18:32Or maybe just the pizza while I'm in these painkillers here.
18:36Well, I'll get you set up on the sofa and then I'll nip to the shop.
18:38I think I can manage unlocking a door by myself.
18:41You just...
18:42You go now and it'll save you going out again.
18:44You were at what the hospital said.
18:45Aaron, I'm fine.
18:47Medically trained, in fact.
18:49Go on, just go and I'll see you back here in five.
18:52All right, fine.
18:53Money's up.
18:54Money's up.
18:54Money's up.
18:56Money's up.
18:57Money's up.
18:58Money's up.
18:59Money's up.
19:00Money's up.
19:01Money's up.
19:02Money's up.
19:03Money's up.
19:04Money's up.

19:18Money's up.
19:19Money's up.
19:20Money's up.
19:21Money's up.
19:21Oh, good timey.
19:31Yeah, is it?
19:33Oh, aye, aye.
19:35Listen, it's going to kick off between you two again, aren't you?
19:38I am happy to referee.
19:40With the correct protective equipment, of course.
19:43No, I might want to be on.
19:46Bold words, considering your actions yesterday.
19:48Especially seeing as I'm the only person that can save your wife's farm.
19:51Actually, I think the farm is salvageable.
19:56Thanks to a deal that I've got in the pipeline.
19:59Is that right?
20:00What?
20:02I've gone in on a deal with that Celia woman.
20:05Um, I thought you said Celia was a piece of work.
20:08Yeah, well, maybe I judged her too quickly.
20:09But we should get a decent profit, you know, more than from the supermarket deal.
20:14Well, you hear that.
20:16Looks like you did us a favour, putting a kibosh on that one.
20:19Yeah, you meant allegedly.
20:21Oh, congratulations.
20:24Listen, um...
20:26Do you think that we could draw a line under all the...
20:30recent unpleasantness?
20:32I mean, I know it's a lot to ask after...
20:34After your husband trashed Kim's farm and you punched our housekeeper?
20:38Yeah, both of those.
20:40Well, I'm not a petty man.
20:42I'm not one to hold grudges.
20:44You what?
20:45And if it means avoiding some petty squabbling and some troublesome cheap shots.
20:49So, yeah, I'm sure I could generously overlook my principles just this once.
20:53Well, thanks.
20:54Really appreciate it.
20:57Er, darling, can you bring that through for me?
20:59I'm sorry, I realised that I missed off your order yesterday.
21:01Oh, no worries, love.
21:03Don't worry, I made it back all on my own.
21:19Yeah, that's all I can see.
21:21Did you find anything good?
21:23Eh?
21:23Film for us to watch.
21:26Oh, er...
21:27Yeah, I'm not really sure I fancy a film.
21:29You could, er...
21:30make us a brew, though.
21:32Alright.
21:33Now's the head.
21:34Still the same?
21:37Actually...
21:39I'm starting to feel much better.
21:42I'm starting to feel much better.
21:46I'm starting to feel much better.
