00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Oh! I was going to bring this up to you.
00:38Not completely awful underneath it all, are you?
00:40Well, I was trying to be quiet to try and help you sleep.
00:44Yeah, I must have dozed off again.
00:49Morning. Morning.
00:52I thought you were still in bed. I was going to do room service.
00:55Oh, thank you. No, I was just seeing Jacob off.
00:57He's, um, gone to town to get a pregnancy test.
01:01Have you had any more bleeding?
01:03Right, well, maybe it was just spotting then.
01:05You know, the doctor's told us to expect that.
01:08Maybe, uh...
01:11Look, Sarah...
01:12I know, it's super early, but some of these tests, they're really sensitive, you know?
01:18It's going to be all right. You've been careful and you're strong.
01:21We just need to stay positive, right?
01:27Slippin' it!
01:28Give me an eye tag then. Right.
01:30Back in the box. Both of you.
01:32Slippin' it. Stop messing around, Vinny.
01:34Put yourself together, all right?
01:40All right?
01:43Bit old for a lot, aren't you?
01:44Yeah, I'm just...
01:45I'm just trying to clear up.
01:46This place makes a scrapyard look tidy half the time.
01:49I would have thought Gabby would have got a cleaner in.
01:51She wouldn't really strike me as the one who wants to get her hands dirty.
01:54Oh, she's got a cleaner, all right?
01:55You're looking at him?
01:56Well, I suppose we all settle for what we get, don't we?
01:59Sorry, why are you here?
02:00Just...
02:02Thought I'd see if you wanted to lift him.
02:03You don't normally bother?
02:05No, you're right, but...
02:07Actually, I thought I'd just come and check on you.
02:09Make sure you're not going out of your mind while Gabby's in Portugal, you've only got yourself for company.
02:13Yeah, but look, about yesterday...
02:15Vinny, I've already told you, you can talk to me, you know, I won't say a word.
02:19I know, but I was just being stupid, wasn't I?
02:21Overthinking, as per usual.
02:24All right.
02:26Just as long as you're okay.
02:28Bulletproof, mate.
02:29You know me.
02:29Heh.
02:31Well, I'll tell you what, though, Ed.
02:33I think I've figured out who's been dragging you off course and...
02:36tempting you to the dark side.
02:41It's what's her name, innit?
02:45Muriel's Welding.
02:46Oh, what?
02:47I've seen you light up when she's round.
02:48Shut up, you.
02:51But you do need to work on your poker face, though.
02:53Cos if I can spot it...
02:54Gabby's gonna be on you like a pack of wolves.
02:57You don't want that, do you?
03:04That was cooked with love, that breakfast.
03:07Bespoke.
03:07Absolutely no baked beans anywhere near the vicinity.
03:13Don't tell me you're gonna waste it.
03:14I'm sorry, mate.
03:15I'm just...
03:16I'm just not in the mood.
03:19Take it things didn't go too well with Steph?
03:21After Manpreet dropped that clango of Ruby?
03:24What do you think?
03:26I'm so sorry.
03:28It's fine.
03:29It's not your fault.
03:30I was egging her on if I'd have known, I wouldn't have...
03:35Lewis, erm, a black coffee, please.
03:38Two take away.
03:39Far away from here.
03:40Don't leave on my account.
03:42I was just going.
03:44Look, erm...
03:46I'm really sorry things got so awkward yesterday.
03:49I don't want to make problems for you.
03:50That's fine.
03:52I mean, Steph has kicked me into touch, but...
03:55Yeah.
03:55Other than that...
03:56I didn't even know you were back together.
03:58And I really didn't know that something so...
04:01Well, incredibly inconsequential would...
04:04...cause so much fuss.
04:07Well, no offence.
04:08Yeah, okay.
04:09It's me lying that's done the damage.
04:12She's, like, majorly triggered by people lying to her.
04:16Can't blame her, really, after everything she's been through.
04:19Yeah.
04:21Anyway, erm...
04:23Me and you.
04:24Mm-hm.
04:25You know...
04:26Yeah, all right, Ross.
04:28No need to keep banging on about it.
04:30Fun intended.
04:33Neither here nor there.
04:34No, absolutely nowhere.
04:36In fact, I'm erasing it from the history books.
04:38Forever.
04:39Yeah.
04:45Priceless.
04:46Steph.
04:48Ah.
04:50As if my day couldn't get any better.
04:57There we go, man, Preet.
04:59On the house.
05:10You got them?
05:11Bought a few.
05:13But you know they're not gonna be that accurate this early on.
05:15Yes, I know.
05:15Just humor me.
05:18Whatever the outcome.
05:20We'll get through this together, okay?
05:21Right, it's not always bad news, is it?
05:24Not always.
05:25And Gran's had loads of babies.
05:26She's practically an expert at this point.
05:28And, you know, mother's bodies are designed to protect the baby.
05:30We're so much more resilient than we think.
05:32And, it's just a bit of spotting, that's all.
05:35There's nothing to worry about.
05:37Yeah, yeah, no, it's just that I know you're always looking for a steady pair of hands and, erm, he's a bright kid.
05:43Yeah, he's a hard worker.
05:44Aye, aye, this is where you're right now.
05:45I didn't realise you had the day off.
05:46Shh!
05:46Oh, sorry, sorry.
05:47I didn't realise you were on the phone.
05:48Sorry about that.
05:49Erm.
05:51Oh, alright then.
05:51Well, you've got my number in case anything changes.
05:54Yeah.
05:55We'll wait till here, then.
05:56Alright, bye.
05:58Just ringing around looking for employment for your man here.
06:00Oh, any joy?
06:02No.
06:02The Georgian Dragon said to send a CV over.
06:04A flipping CV for a pot washer.
06:06Alright, George.
06:07When you're holding your psychometric evaluations, I wonder.
06:11Cheers for trying, though.
06:13I wish I could get you a few hours.
06:15Thanks, Marlon.
06:15I know, just don't worry.
06:17I'm doing my best to wangle it.
06:18I know.
06:19It'd make a certain someone happy keeping you within arm's reach.
06:22We'll find something, I'm sure.
06:23I haven't spent half my life researching the pubs of North Yorkshire for nothing.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Yeah, there's going to be millions of places crying out for a talented young man like you.
06:30yourself.
06:30Just somewhere nice and local where I can keep a good eye on you.
06:37It's not like it was a big deal.
06:39It's just two grown-ups doing...
06:42Hey, at least you're getting some action.
06:43Yeah, true.
06:45The point is, Vanessa, at what cost?
06:47Van Preet, you haven't done anything wrong?
06:49Well, I'd rather not have my dirty laundry aired in the village.
06:54At least you've got some dirty laundry to air.
06:56Oh, I feel like I'm fading into grey.
06:59All I seem to do these days is go to work, look after Johnny, pay the bills, rinse and repeat.
07:06Look, I know I promised you to find a soul mate, but I think my attempts of matchmaking have led to nothing but carnage.
07:13I think it's better off if you paddle your own canoe.
07:17Yeah, I lost my paddle a while back, that's the problem.
07:20Look, there's a lot to be said for the quiet life.
07:24Yeah, yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.
07:28Whilst I'm running round my little hamster wheel, gnawing at the bars.
07:33Ha, ha, ha.
07:39Steph!
07:41Steph!
07:42Oh, I've been trying to call you.
07:44Yeah, well, I've not been picking up, Russ, so maybe take it home.
07:47Look, I shouldn't have lied to you.
07:49I should have just told you the truth.
07:51Listen, I'm sorry, OK?
07:54I got it wrong, but me and Manpreet, we're not...
07:58Look, there's nothing going on between me and Manpreet, OK?
08:02Well, you looked pretty cosy in the cafe when I walked in on you.
08:04See, this is why I didn't tell you.
08:06Look, Russ, I am not trying to blow things out of proportion, OK?
08:12And my therapist keeps telling me I cannot control what other people do.
08:16I'm not just other people, though, am I?
08:18Look, the last thing I wanted to do was upset you.
08:21I am not upset.
08:23I am furious at myself for trusting you.
08:27Steph, please.
08:29Russ, it's fine, OK?
08:31Look, the bottom line is I need to be around people I can trust,
08:33and right now you are not one of those people.
08:43That's it.
08:45Five minutes.
08:51Let me see.
09:01It's too early to rely on Tess, you know that.
09:03Yeah, so everyone keeps saying.
09:04Well, let's just take it easy.
09:05Oh, no, do you know what? It's fine.
09:07I know it is. I don't care what the stupid Tess says.
09:09Look, Sarah.
09:10You can do another one. You've got loads, right?
09:13Look, it's gonna be all right.
09:14Sarah, I need to tell you something.
09:19I had a fall.
09:21What? When?
09:22When I was out walking. Nothing crazy happened, OK? I just...
09:26I lost my footing and I fell over.
09:28Grant, you were supposed to be taking it easy.
09:30We don't know if the fall had anything to do with this.
09:32Of course it did. It obviously did, didn't it?
09:35I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.
09:37You knew how much this meant to me.
09:39How could you have been so careless?
09:42Sarah.
09:43Sarah.
09:59She's upset.
10:00And she's bound to be.
10:02She's just lashing out.
10:04She's right now, isn't she?
10:07We shouldn't have been messing around in the woods.
10:09We shouldn't have risked it.
10:11Charity, we've been through this.
10:14Stop doing that to yourself.
10:16What were we even thinking?
10:19Well, you can try again.
10:21I'd be lucky if she ever wants to speak to me again.
10:23Let alone ask me to be a surrogate.
10:26I've let her down.
10:28No, you've not, Charity.
10:30You have gone above and beyond.
10:33And we always knew that
10:35this was a shot in the dark, didn't we?
10:37And, you know, maybe this is nature's way of saying that
10:41it's not meant to be.
10:44I'm just saying...
10:47everything happens for a reason, doesn't it?
10:50And...
10:52maybe this is for the best.
10:54How can this be for the best?
10:57Well, like I've just said, maybe it's not meant to be.
11:00Have you ever actually really truthfully been on board with any of this?
11:07I don't think that that's fear.
11:09Oh, my God, Mac.
11:11You are such a liar!
11:12And after everything you said,
11:16you're relieved, aren't you?
11:20Oh, Charity, come on!
11:22You're pleased that I have lost Sarah's embryo!
11:25No, Charity, please! That is not...
11:26I'm saying it's for the best!
11:30Get out!
11:32What?
11:33Get out!
11:34Of my house!
11:35Before I do something I might regret!
11:37Here we are, madam, fresh from the Colombian jungles, via Nicola's Gracie Spoon!
11:56Oh!
11:59Sorry, Paddy, I was just, er,
12:01here to pick up my laundry and pay Mum my ironing tall money!
12:04She's still doing that for you?
12:05Yeah!
12:06Even worse at ironing than she is!
12:08Gabby reckons I can't run around being a total scruff all my life,
12:10so it's just, yes, it's the arrangement.
12:13Well, she's gone into town.
12:14Okay, well, you best have this, then.
12:16Oh!
12:18Oh, and also, I like a starch collar and creases down in front of my jeans!
12:22Are you still looking for jobs for Dylan?
12:27Oh, erm...
12:29I'm going to say...
12:30...yes!
12:31Oh, come on, Paddy, don't compromise me like that!
12:33It's better be Mum's sanctioned, that's all I'm saying!
12:35Oh, no! Oh, God, no!
12:36No, no, it's nothing like that!
12:37It's, erm...
12:39Well, if you must know,
12:41I'm doing a shift working for that helpline thing that I do.
12:45Actually, I shouldn't be saying anything, it's all very confidential.
12:48That's all right.
12:49I won't say a word, promise!
12:50Sorry, if I don't realise, you know.
12:52I'll just...
12:53I'll leave you to it, yeah?
12:54No, no, I've just clocked off!
12:55In fact, your timing's bob on.
12:56Sit down.
12:58Okay.
13:02You all right?
13:03Er...
13:04Yes, yes.
13:05I'm all right.
13:06It's just that...
13:08...it makes you realise there's a lot of people...
13:11...having it...
13:12...really hard at the moment, and, erm...
13:14...it just takes its toll, a little bit.
13:16I know, but...
13:17...at least there's people like you doing their best to help.
13:19Yeah.
13:20I wish I had access to online support when I was growing up.
13:23I had no-one to talk to when Kenneth...
13:26...did what he did.
13:29Er, sorry, the man I thought was my dad.
13:31Oh!
13:32Right, yeah.
13:33Sorry, I mean...
13:34...that must have been really hard for you.
13:35Mm!
13:36I mean, well, my mum didn't know how to deal with it,
13:37...and neither did anybody else, so we all just cracked on.
13:40Nobody talked about anything.
13:41Nobody talked about anything.
13:42At all.
13:44I think at least these days...
13:46...if you need it...
13:48...you can seek out support.
13:49No matter what's going on, no-one needs to do it alone.
13:54And actually...
13:56...I wish I'd got help when me and Chas split up, because...
13:59...that would have saved me and everybody else a massive shed-load of worry.
14:03Cheers.
14:04Oh, he's so awful!
14:05Why'd you have to do business with him in this?
14:06Are you okay?
14:07Just ignore me.
14:08I'm...I'm fine.
14:09We know you're not fine.
14:10I just...I just...I just can't deal with it.
14:11It's really set me back.
14:12Come here.
14:13No, I opened up to him, and I thought we had this proper connection,
14:15...and I wanted to believe him, and I did believe him.
14:18Oh, Steph.
14:19No, I trusted him.
14:20No, I trusted him.
14:21No, I trusted him.
14:22No, I trusted him.
14:23No, I trusted him.
14:24No, I trusted him.
14:25No, I trusted him.
14:26No, I trusted him.
14:27No, I trusted him.
14:28No, I trusted him.
14:29No, I trusted him.
14:30No, I let my guard down, and I just feel like I'm...back at square one.
14:51Ahem.
14:54No.
14:55No.
15:20Hey.
15:21You doing all right?
15:25You've heard, then.
15:29Tarot's a message.
15:33Sarah isn't mine.
15:36I just have to sleep on the sofa.
15:39I left her tucked under a blanket.
15:41I...
15:43...just needed a minute.
15:44I just wish I could do something to make it bad.
16:03I feel useless.
16:11Being there's enough.
16:12You don't have to have fancy words or...
16:16...fix everything.
16:17Just...
16:19...stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
16:23That's all you can do.
16:28She's a lot stronger than she looks, you know.
16:31She's had to be.
16:34We'll get her through this.
16:36It'll be all right.
16:37All right.
16:38All right.
16:39HE SIGHS
17:06He shut off that quickly?
17:09Have you got your laundry?
17:10Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
17:11I did, didn't I?
17:12What am I like?
17:13Sneaky little weasel, that's what you like.
17:16Sorry, I'm only mucking about.
17:18If she's daft enough to do it for you, then...
17:20Well, it's like you said, I should be doing it myself, shouldn't I?
17:22I mean, sooner rather than later, we all need to grow up, don't we?
17:25You all right?
17:26You don't see him yourself?
17:28Yeah, yeah, of course, Sam.
17:29Right, you know, I'm always here if you want to offload or chew anything over.
17:34Thanks, Paddy, yeah.
17:35It's good to know I've got a four-star counselling colonel on hand if I need it.
17:39Well, I wouldn't go that far.
17:41What I would say is one of the very few perks of getting older is you get a bit of perspective
17:46on what's worth worrying about and what really isn't.
17:50Yeah, yeah, sure.
17:51It's just, you know, with the, erm, with the wedding, you know, getting close, it's just...
17:56It's making me reflect on things, that's all.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Bit weird if you weren't.
18:01But, you know, it's about time I stepped up and took ironing by the horns.
18:05You know, show them all what I'm made of.
18:07Do you, do you, erm...
18:08Do you want a drink?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Yeah.
18:11Well, they actually wanted to run away with circus.
18:16But our little town was just right cruddy, never came anywhere near.
18:20So there's no room to get tented up.
18:22Who?
18:23I could imagine you in circus.
18:25With, erm...
18:26What sets with big shiny hats?
18:29Sparkler.
18:30Er...
18:31Ringmasters.
18:32Yeah.
18:33Or a clown.
18:34When my mum said she'd give me bus fare.
18:37I'd pay him to take you off me hands.
18:39Dark sense of humour?
18:40No.
18:41She weren't joking.
18:42I'd join circus with ya.
18:47Blimey, are you two joined at the Epposummer?
18:52Well, there's nothing to do around here, so we're just hanging out.
18:55You have got all the friends, you know.
18:57Share the love.
18:59I'm sorry.
19:01Did somebody just drop the L word?
19:03Clang.
19:04Oops.
19:05Erm, I thought you were going bowling with Arthur later.
19:08Yeah, I don't know if I can be bothered.
19:10You just said yourself you're bored.
19:12He'll do you good to get out and about, lolling around all day, doing nothing with Dylan.
19:16Sorry, no offence.
19:18I suppose so.
19:19Do you fancy it?
19:21Well, I'd go if I were you, otherwise people would stop asking.
19:24Look, it's not just me and Arthur going, there's a right crowd of us.
19:31Erm, nah, I'm alright.
19:34To be fair, I'll stick in me own smelly shoes.
19:37Well, I can rid my piggy bank.
19:38You won't have to pay anything.
19:40Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
19:43It's okay.
19:44Just...
19:45You go out with your mates.
19:47It's only one night.
19:49I don't want you paying for me all the time.
19:51Just go and do your thing.
19:53I'm a big boy, alright?
19:54I'm alright by myself.
20:14Is it okay that I come in?
20:16Yeah, sure.
20:18Look, Charity, I am...
20:25I'm sorry.
20:29I'm just worried about you.
20:33But if I'm being honest with myself, yes, I am...
20:39Relieved that you are not under any kind of risk anymore.
20:43So, all the time, when you're saying you'll support my decision, do whatever you can, it's all been a load of rubbish?
20:51No.
20:52Well, which is it then?
20:53Come on, make your mind up.
20:54You can't have it both ways.
20:55Well...
20:56I am trying to explain to you...
20:57You know, I can't believe how insensitive you've been, actually.
21:00Given the circumstances.
21:02Right, what do you mean?
21:04You practically dragged me out for that walk.
21:06Charity...
21:07No, I didn't.
21:08Yeah, you did.
21:09I'd never have been in those woods if you hadn't insisted we go.
21:11Charity...
21:12This is all your fault.
21:13Everything would be alright if I hadn't listened to you.
21:17So, I hope you're happy, Matt.
21:18I hope you're happy that you've got what you wanted.
21:24Charity, what is wrong with me thinking about how this affects everybody else?
21:40Well, you've been strapped to this crazy ride of Sarah's and, yes, I get it that she desperately wants a kid, but what about everyone else?
21:48Oh, wow.
21:49Truth's really coming out now, isn't it?
21:50I am just saying that you're not doing yourself any favours whatsoever by going along with this, at best, desperate plan.
21:57Oh, congratulations.
21:58You've really excelled yourself this time.
22:01You just can't do it, can you?
22:03You can't see beyond your own wants and needs for one second.
22:07Do you know what?
22:08I must need my head testing for marrying you.
22:27Oh!
22:30I wasn't expecting to see you here today.
22:32Well, you know, I thought I might as well try working on something that can actually be fixed.
22:37You have got other embryos?
22:40Yeah, but I don't have the other two and a half grand to use them, sadly.
22:43So, game over.
22:48I could always help you out.
22:50No, you can't.
22:52Well, your grand did.
22:54Well, yeah, I know, but...
22:56Well, you and Moira, you're struggling to keep their arm open, aren't you?
23:00I will find the money if I need to.
23:03Yeah, but what if it happens again?
23:05And what if it doesn't?
23:06I don't know if I can handle trying again, even if grand was up for it.
23:10I don't know if I've got it in me.
23:12One thing I know about you since you were knee high to a grasshopper
23:15is that you never, ever give up on anything.
23:18I wonder where I get that from.
23:19Hmm.
23:20I wonder where you get that from.
23:22All right?
23:23Er, not really.
23:24No.
23:25I think Cain's at the garage if that's who you want.
23:26Yeah, I'm not here to see Cain.
23:27I'm here to see you.
23:28Let's not do this.
23:29I've got a lot on.
23:30Well, yeah, we all know what a busy boy you are.
23:45You know how vulnerable Steph is and what she's been through.
23:49I do, yeah.
23:50And you also know what it's taken for her to even start to recover.
23:54I know.
23:55There's real feelings there on both sides.
23:57Well, your actions are saying otherwise.
23:59Look at what I've been through with her.
24:01I have stood by her through everything.
24:04I've kept your secrets.
24:06I've been patient and I have put up with a lot.
24:09But it's all been worth it because I love her.
24:12And she knows that.
24:16So there you have it.
24:17I love her.
24:19I would do anything for her.
24:22The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her.
24:24Yeah, well you have hurt her.
24:26She's in a state.
24:28She fe-
24:29She feels betrayed.
24:31Like she's back at square one.
24:33If I could undo it.
24:35Yeah, but you can't though, can you?
24:36The damage is done.
24:42If you love her, right, like you say you do,
24:45you need to leave her alone.
24:47That'd be the kindest, most selfless thing you can do for her right now.
24:52You stay away from her.
24:55Have you got that?
24:59Good.
25:00Come on.
25:01Come on.
25:02Come on.
25:03No, no, no, no, no!
25:04Yes!
25:05Thanks, Paddy.
25:06You know, for letting me blow off some steam.
25:08Anything.
25:09Um, just don't tell Marlon.
25:10He can be a bit funny.
25:11And look, I'm sorry for being a bit narky as well.
25:12I just want everything to be perfect for the wedding, you know, for Gabby.
25:16I've got to go.
25:17I've got to go.
25:18Paulie Heffer at Devonish Farm.
25:19I'm on call.
25:20Oh, OK.
25:21Good luck.
25:22And I'll see you next time for the rematch, eh?
25:23Yeah, right.
25:24I've got to go.
25:25I've got to go.
25:26I've got to go.
25:27Paulie Heffer at Devonish Farm.
25:28I'm on call.
25:29Oh, OK.
25:30Good luck.
25:31And I'll see you next time for rematch, eh?
25:32Yeah, right.
25:46I'm sorry about earlier.
26:11I didn't mean to embarrass you.
26:13I know.
26:14You were being kind.
26:15You're always kind.
26:20You could do so much better than me.
26:22I've literally got note to offer you.
26:25Dylan.
26:26I'm just being honest.
26:27Marlon knows it.
26:29Can tell by the way he looks at me.
26:31Right, he thinks you're great.
26:33He tolerates me, for your sake.
26:36Listen, don't get me wrong, I get it.
26:39He's right.
26:40I've got no money.
26:41I've got no job.
26:43And 0.00 chance of getting one.
26:47All I'm doing is dragging you down.
26:49OK, that's not true.
26:53I don't care about any of that stuff, anyway.
26:55Or stupid bowling.
26:57I'd rather be here with you.
27:00Loser.
27:02Diva.
27:03Failed circus runaway.
27:04Who's that?
27:05Just Paddy.
27:06I'll ring you back later.
27:07It will get better.
27:08We'll figure it out.
27:09How come you always know the right thing to say?
27:23Just cause.
27:24We don't need money to have a good time.
27:29As long as we're together, that's all that matters.
27:33Where'd you get to?
27:34I just had some, er, business stuff that I needed to sort out.
27:43Caleb.
27:44What?
27:45Why not a word with Ross?
27:51She won't thank you for interfering.
27:53Well, I'm not just gonna stand back and watch while she falls apart again.
27:59Hey!
28:02What are you two scheming up now?
28:04Nothing, aren't I?
28:05Right, yeah, subtle.
28:07You two need to work on her cover stories, that's all I can say.
28:12You seem a bit brighter.
28:15Yeah, well, I am actually.
28:18I have just booked a yoga retreat in Rome.
28:21And yeah, I might even do a bit of travelling afterwards.
28:23I don't know yet.
28:24I will think about it when I am deep in my Syvesna pose.
28:31What?
28:32I thought you'd be happy for me.
28:34I just don't like the idea of you being on your own.
28:39No, it would be good for me to get away.
28:42You know, and actually give me some time to work on myself for a bit.
28:47It will be okay.
28:49Look, I just need some downtime away from here.
28:52Away from Ross?
28:54Yeah, maybe.
28:55But also from all the reminders of Anthony.
28:57You know, I honestly think it would be good for me to put a bit of space between myself and all the memories, you know?
29:02It would be good for me to get away.
29:05Recalibrate.
29:07And get my zine back on.
29:10Can't you do that here?
29:11No.
29:12I need...
29:13I need to focus on my recovery.
29:15Away from any distractions.
29:17And, you know, it's not going to be forever.
29:19And I can do my therapy online, hmm?
29:22I need to do this.
29:23Okay.
29:24So when are you thinking of going?
29:27Tonight.
29:29Tonight?
29:30What?
29:32Don't look at me like that.
29:33This is me taking positive affirmative action, hmm?
29:36You should be proud of me.
29:38We are.
29:39We always are.
29:44You know, you two should, er, think about getting away yourselves.
29:48We're both looking a little bit frayed around the edges.
30:00Can we nick her passport again?
30:03What, lock her in her room?
30:07We're going to have to let her go, aren't we?
30:08I don't think we've got much choice.
30:24Been here long?
30:27Oh, I'm sorry.
30:28I think I might need to see some idea if I'm getting nicked by the fun police.
30:32Yeah.
30:33I don't know if getting smashed is the best coping strategy.
30:36That's all.
30:37Who said anything about getting smashed?
30:40No.
30:41Look, Charity.
30:43I know today will have been tough.
30:45Oh, you reckon, do you?
30:48Broken my granddaughter's heart.
30:51Blown my marriage to smithereens.
30:53What?
30:55Now I just need a bolt of lightning to finish me off and I'll have scored a hat trick.
30:59It's unlikely indoors, isn't it?
31:02Still, they say things come in threes, don't they?
31:04So come on then, world, bring it on.
31:06What else have you got?
31:08Okay.
31:10You and I both know day drunks.
31:11Never a good look.
31:12Well, from where I'm sitting, Vanessa, I'm reckoning it's quite appealing.
31:16Look, why don't you come back home with me, have a coffee or something.
31:21Might even do you a bit of toast if you stop calling the universe out for a fight.
31:25Is that the best you can offer me?
31:27A bit of toast?
31:29Well, you've lost your mojo, babe.
31:31All right, come on.
31:34Let's get you off the streets.
31:36Vanessa, I am not your problem anymore.
31:40And I'm not leaving you here.
31:42I'm totally fine, give me that.
31:45Whoops.
31:48You know the dustpan and brushes?
31:50Oh, Marlon, accidents do happen.
31:52You're a mess.
31:53I'm a hot mess, everyone.
31:55Oh, just go, I'll get it sorted.
31:58Come on then, Mrs Modesty.
32:01Let's go before he changes his mind.
32:03I've missed you, you bossy cow.
32:07Oh, Ness.
32:08I've really gone and done it this time.
32:10I don't think I'm going to be able to fix it.
32:13Come on.
32:24If you could have him overnight, you would be doing me a massive favour.
32:31Oh, thanks. You are a total star.
32:33Flipping heck, Vanessa. You've only asked her to babysit.
32:35It's not like she's invented a cure for cancer.
32:38Go on, where's Trace? Why ain't she babysitting?
32:41Er, she's gone to visit Cara.
32:43Smooth things over after Nate's funeral.
32:46Oh.
32:48Yeah. Oh.
32:50All right.
32:51Enough of the unbreakable act. You don't have to do that with me.
32:55What do you want to do?
32:57Do you want me to try and talk to Sarah?
32:59I don't know, Vanessa.
33:01I honestly don't know.
33:03You know it's not the end of the road, right?
33:05She's got more embryos.
33:07Mm-hmm.
33:08Yeah, I mean, if we could get the money together,
33:11to have the embryos implanted, yeah.
33:13Well, there's got to be a way.
33:15You should have seen the way she looked at me, Ness.
33:17She knows as well as I do.
33:19It was a one-shot deal, wasn't it?
33:24I've let her down. I've let her down so badly.
33:27She's bound to be upset, but she'll bounce back.
33:29You both will.
33:31You're warriors.
33:33You know, I really thought I could do it.
33:34And after everything she's been through, I just wanted her to know that she wasn't alone, that she didn't have to fight everyone and everything all by herself.
33:45Because I know what that's like.
33:48And I'm not letting that happen. Not to Sarah. Not on my watch.
33:51I mean, I'm supposed to be the mighty, chuffing, charity dingle.
33:55I'm supposed to be able to do anything I put my mind to.
33:58It's not your fault.
34:00I feel like it is.
34:11Kane said you've been into work.
34:13Thought we'd agreed you were going to take it easy.
34:16Yeah, I thought it might be easier keeping myself busy.
34:18That was until he sent me home after a blue valve tap on someone's tyre.
34:24I think the words he used was liability.
34:27His usual cuddly self then.
34:30He offered to pay for another MBO transfer if he wanted.
34:34Wow.
34:36I mean, he said he was going to speak to you.
34:39I saw him earlier.
34:41But he didn't let on that nugget of info.
34:43No.
34:45What?
34:46Well, it's not exactly like him and Moira have got money to be tricking around at the moment, is it?
34:51Not with this massive waterfine hanging over them.
34:54We don't have to decide right away.
34:56Might be worth to just take a bit of time.
34:59Take the pressure off.
35:01Look, I totally get it if you want to walk away.
35:03What?
35:04I know you're just trying to do the right thing by me but
35:06if I don't try again and there's no chance of us having a baby then there's
35:09nothing saying you have to be with me.
35:11Sarah.
35:12Look, and I know we're engaged, Jacob, but honestly I don't want to hold you to anything.
35:14Just stop it.
35:17I know what you're doing and it's not going to work.
35:21I want to be with you no matter what happens.
35:25I love you, Sarah Sugden, so stop pushing me away.
35:31Come here.
35:32He said he was totally behind it and then when it fails all of a sudden he's like,
35:42oh well maybe it's for the best.
35:44I mean don't just say what I want you to say, tell me the truth!
35:48I mean you're supposed to be my partner.
35:51You know the clues in the title.
35:55I don't know.
35:57I just want to make my equalness.
35:59Do you think that's too much to ask?
36:01You're preaching to the choir here.
36:03Oh yeah, I'm so sorry.
36:06Listen to me offload into you of all people about my chronically cursed love life.
36:10Offload away, this is a safe space for offloading.
36:14I don't know.
36:16Maybe I've just made another massive mistake.
36:19Charming, thanks.
36:21No, sure.
36:22You know what I mean.
36:27I've seen another side to Mackenzie over the past few weeks, babe.
36:31I don't think I like it.
36:33Look, what you're doing for Sarah is heroic.
36:36And if he can't see that, if he can't step up then that's his look out.
36:40Anyway, let's get some food into you, soak up some of that alcohol.
36:44No, eating's cheating.
36:46I'll do her some pasta.
36:50Look, you will patch things up with him.
36:53Emotions are just running high.
36:55Just let the dust settle a bit.
36:56I should have known which side my bread was blood.
37:01Oh, I was a fool to let you go for him.
37:12This was an absolute disaster.
37:14I just...
37:16I just didn't think that she and I would end up being collateral damage.
37:19So then just speak to her.
37:20Well, I've tried that, Aaron.
37:22But you know what she's like, it's like trying to juggle a live hand grenade.
37:24I thought you liked being cats on your toes.
37:26Yeah, so did I.
37:27Nice to see you got your priorities sorted out.
37:31Sorry, Marlon.
37:32I'm actually just in here for a quiet pint.
37:34If that's alright with you.
37:36Or even if it isn't.
37:38Listen, nobody's saying this situation is easy for you.
37:43You're round, innit?
37:45Alright, fine, but I'd make that last if I was you.
37:47Right, fine, Marlon.
37:48I will have another pint whether this tightwad here is going to pay for it or not.
37:51The last thing that charity needs right now is you getting steaming.
37:56Are you going to get me the beer or...?
37:59You've got a family at home that need you to hold it together.
38:03Oh, wow, Aaron. That is beyond wise.
38:06Wow.
38:07I will bear that in mind.
38:08Oh, grow up.
38:09I'm trying to do you a favourite.
38:11You've got a choice of how you want to handle this.
38:14But sitting here drowning in your little sorrows is not the right move, is it?
38:18And we both know the longer you leave it, the harder it's going to be for you to fix it.
38:26I feel tight just leaving you.
38:28Don't be daft. I'll still be here when you get back.
38:30And I don't even like rolling that much, to be fair.
38:35Now you tell me.
38:37Don't miss us too much, eh?
38:40I'll try my best.
38:41I'll try my best.
38:56I won't be through your lap.
39:03Be as late as you like.
39:06How long have you been there for?
39:08Long enough.
39:10I thought I'd swing by, make sure you're all right.
39:12You have been ignoring my messages.
39:15Yeah, sorry, I've been busy.
39:16So I can see.
39:18Cats are bleeding over.
39:19Good on you.
39:21Here.
39:22Get your new girlfriend something special.
39:24I don't need your charity.
39:26You won the lottery, have you?
39:28No, I'm going to get a job.
39:30I know.
39:31And in the meantime, this will tide you over.
39:35It's all.
39:36It's what mates are for, isn't it?
39:38So that's, um, April?
39:40Yeah.
39:42Nice.
39:43I know.
39:49Oh, I'm not going to go home yet.
39:51I'll just get my head better off giving them some space.
39:54Don't you know what, mate?
39:55Why don't you just do what you want?
39:56I'm sure you'll be doing them a favour anyway.
39:58See you later.
40:02Texting Muriel, are we?
40:03Yeah, right.
40:05Can't leave her alone.
40:06No, no, I'm, erm, I'm working actually.
40:08I'm just looking at crushers.
40:10Thinking about getting one foot yard.
40:12Well, that's exciting, isn't it?
40:13Hmm.
40:14Even more tragic than him working this late.
40:16Need to get a grip.
40:17Sorry we're closed.
40:18Oh, it's alright.
40:19I just want to sit.
40:20I can make an exception seeing as it's you.
40:21Nah, you're alright.
40:22It's hard anyway, though.
40:23Steph was in earlier.
40:25Well,
40:27I can make an exception seeing as it's you.
40:31Nah, you're alright.
40:32It's hard anyway, though.
40:34Steph was in earlier.
40:36Well,
40:38It's all right. I just want to sit. I can make an exception seeing as it's you.
40:42Nah, you're all right. It's hard anyway though.
40:47Steph was in earlier.
40:49Elle?
40:50You look exactly the same as you do now.
40:53I'll speak to her.
40:56Do I have a job? She's heading to Italy and beyond. Get some air miles between you and
41:01her.
41:02Oh well. Probably for the best.
41:06Is it?
41:09Caleb told me to stay out of her life. I don't think it was up for debate.
41:14But why would you do that?
41:16Because it's...it's just...it's just better that way.
41:21Better for who? Not for you and Steph?
41:25I've seen the way you look at each other. The way you are together.
41:29You're not giving up this easily are you? I thought you were a fighter.
41:36When did she say she was going?
41:39About five minutes ago.
41:41You're absolutely sure about this? Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
41:55OK. Well, any problems you just call us, OK? Do you know me or your dad's number off by
41:58heart in case you lose your phone?
41:59Mum. Stop fretting.
42:00Here.
42:01Stick that somewhere safe.
42:02Oh.
42:03Steph?
42:04Lewis said you were leaving.
42:05Cheers, Lewis.
42:06It's none of your business what she's doing.
42:08We don't want to see him, OK?
42:09Don't go.
42:10Well, I've got nothing keeping me here, have I?
42:11Right, well...I'll come with you.
42:12No. No, you won't.
42:13Please.
42:14Just...stay.
42:15We can work through this.
42:36I love you.
42:50Airport, please.
42:54Don't do this.
42:55It doesn't have to be like this.
42:55Call yourself a hostess.
43:12Have you got any more of this squirreled away?
43:14Er, you've had more than enough.
43:15I'll be carrying you home at this rate.
43:18Oh, no. I don't want to go home, Ness.
43:20Oh, don't be silly.
43:21No, please. Do not make me go home.
43:23I don't want to see any of them.
43:24And anyway, I'm not in a fit state, am I?
43:27Fine.
43:28I'll make up Tracey's bed.
43:30I'm not staying there.
43:34Plus, you're going with me.
43:37You know, to...
