Summary
Tony and Vince catch up at the abattoir and chat about Jolene; Elizabeth has told Tony about Jolene being up and down. Vince encourages Tony’s plan to hang on to the cowhides and shows Tony the process. Tony tells Vince about his plan to get them tanned locally. Later Natasha finds Tony struggling with a website to find somewhere to tan the hides. The local place he had in mind has gone bust – the nearest other one is over 300 miles away and not cheap. Undefeated, Tony finds a couple of hides for around £200 each he can buy for the tearoom. Natasha’s happy.
Harry bumps into Harrison and Harrison wonders what’s on his mind. Harry says sorry about last Friday and insists he’s not a problem drinker, but Harrison reveals he has looked Harry up and found his driving ban. Harry insists he’s clean now and wouldn’t have driven on Friday. Harrison points out that it’s only because Harrison stopped him. Harrison is concerned that Alice doesn’t know about Harry’s history – she is vulnerable, and there’s Martha too. Harry insists he’ll do whatever it takes – he’ll stop drinking now. Harrison gives Harry a name and number to contact for support, suggesting he contacts him today. Harry agrees.
But later Harrison finds Harry in a bar, having had a drink and sounding merry. Harry admits he hasn’t made contact with the support group and insists that Alice doesn’t need to know about his drinking. Harrison gives him an ultimatum – tell Alice or he will. But Harry calls him out – if Harrison breaks police rules, Harry would make sure the right people knew about it.
