00:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:32 Just going to leave you a note.
00:34 Yeah, Esther slept in.
00:36 Where you off?
00:37 Just out.
00:38 Well, I thought we could make breakfast.
00:40 It could be one of our last ones.
00:42 Oh, dear, that's all right, can't we?
00:43 Big slap up before I go.
00:45 Anyway, I'm going to talk about that today.
00:47 But--
00:47 You see to Esther.
00:48 I'll drop you a text.
00:49 [BABY CRYING]
00:52 [KNOCKING]
00:55 Hi.
01:01 Wendy, I should have apologized by now for my behavior
01:05 in the hospital.
01:07 It's fine.
01:07 No, it's not.
01:09 You were beside yourself with Wally,
01:10 and I made everything worse.
01:12 It's because you care for Bob, too.
01:14 You only said what everyone else was thinking.
01:17 Hey, you mustn't blame yourself entirely.
01:21 He could very well have had a dodgy ticker for a while.
01:25 Do you reckon?
01:26 Yeah.
01:27 Has he shown any symptoms?
01:30 I don't know.
01:32 Well, according to Liam, he had an appointment
01:34 that he never showed up for.
01:36 Well, his operation went well.
01:38 That's the main thing.
01:40 Because I haven't spoke to him this morning.
01:43 Hey, listen.
01:44 He's just been through a massive trauma.
01:47 His head will be all over the place.
01:48 You can't give up yet.
01:50 I have to.
01:51 We've said all there is to say.
01:52 I can't keep pushing.
01:54 This is when he needs you.
01:56 He doesn't want me, Eric.
01:58 I'm going to click the rest of his stuff out of the B&B
02:00 before he comes home.
02:02 And I'm sorry, Vic, for leaving you and Harry.
02:06 What?
02:08 I'm going to call Luke about moving to London.
02:11 Hey!
02:16 Happy birthday, Dad.
02:17 You're not looking bad for 50.
02:19 Give all the 46.
02:21 That's from me and Vinnie.
02:22 Oh, that's some.
02:23 Hey!
02:28 Boo head!
02:30 Oh, I've always wanted one of these.
02:32 You're such a weirdo.
02:33 How do I compete with that?
02:39 Aye.
02:40 It's practical more than fun.
02:45 Is it a football?
02:46 [LAUGHTER]
02:48 It's a laundry bag.
02:55 I made it myself.
02:56 To keep your socks together in the machine.
02:58 Oh, yeah, mint.
03:01 Always wanted one of these, you know.
03:02 I'm sorry, love.
03:03 What were money being so tight?
03:05 Well, we can stretch to a drink in the pub, call the family.
03:08 Yeah, charity will stand us around.
03:11 Maybe we should call Dan and Amelia.
03:13 Invite them, their family too, aren't they?
03:15 Although it doesn't seem right to celebrate.
03:18 We can ask.
03:20 No, it's Dan's last day.
03:22 I don't want him feeling obliged.
03:24 All right.
03:25 Look, Pinneth, Esther.
03:27 Where's your bras?
03:29 Dad.
03:31 Oh.
03:32 You found us, then?
03:33 Is that for me?
03:35 I don't see any other 17-year-old girls
03:36 celebrating their birthdays.
03:37 Oh, it's not for another two weeks.
03:39 No, we're celebrating it early.
03:41 And Esther's.
03:42 Dad.
03:46 It's not jewelry, obviously.
03:49 You know, have a look in there.
03:52 I've got some photos of your-- your mum and Ruby,
03:54 and Shaun and Rachel from way back,
03:56 and your little miss sparkling gem competition.
03:58 Oh, no way.
04:01 Turn to the back.
04:03 Finishing with Esther, your whole 17 years.
04:07 Did all right, didn't we?
04:09 Did brilliant.
04:11 Leaving the estate and moving to the country.
04:16 And then you arrived, and you never left.
04:19 Weird for some, but weird for us.
04:23 And now I'm going to be the only one left here.
04:25 No, no, you've got Esther.
04:27 Who'd have thought it, eh?
04:28 A whole new generation.
04:31 Mum would have loved her, wouldn't she?
04:33 Yeah, she would have.
04:35 She acted like the snails, but I'm sure her baby,
04:38 and she'd turn to mush.
04:39 She'd be taking her for days out all the time.
04:41 You wouldn't get her looking.
04:43 Used to come here a lot, you know.
04:45 Used to roll down there till it made you dizzy.
04:47 Did I?
04:48 Yeah.
04:49 Shaun raced you once.
04:50 Ended up landing in sheep poo.
04:52 Refused to do it again.
04:53 But you, oh, you were hardcore.
04:55 Arms tucked in like a barrel.
04:57 Proper little miss, unstoppable.
05:00 Come on, then.
05:01 You're not too old, Dad.
05:03 Oi, never mind.
05:04 Too old?
05:05 You'll do anything to get attention.
05:21 Going to be fine.
05:22 Yeah.
05:24 Of course you'll be fine.
05:27 You forget I've been there, squaring up
05:30 to Mackenzie one minute.
05:34 Then the pain, the terror.
05:37 Yeah, mine was more instant.
05:41 I was with Liam, I remember that.
05:43 But then nothing.
05:44 I was just gone.
05:47 He had to use the defibrillator to get me back.
05:50 It was very dramatic.
05:52 Wish I was awake.
05:53 Jacob told me.
05:55 Frightening moment.
05:57 I haven't talked about it with anyone.
06:00 Liam came in for a visit.
06:02 But I had another red mist moment.
06:05 Not good.
06:07 And then I ended things with Wendy.
06:11 Did she send you?
06:12 No.
06:14 But I believe she fully respects your decision.
06:19 Which I think you should retract.
06:22 Why?
06:23 Because you love her.
06:26 She is really upset that she hurt you.
06:31 Do you think she'd do it again?
06:32 No.
06:36 Well, then, this is a new chapter.
06:41 Embrace the moment.
06:42 It's not that simple.
06:43 I thought the prognosis was good.
06:45 Not the heart.
06:48 Me and Wendy, we haven't had a full relationship
06:53 for some time.
06:55 What?
06:56 Because of me.
06:58 I haven't been able to--
07:00 I mean, the spirit's been willing and all that.
07:02 But my trusty sword failed me.
07:06 Can you say that in English?
07:09 I have erectile dysfunction.
07:13 Words that weren't even part of my vocabulary
07:15 until 24 hours ago, now everybody's saying it.
07:18 My dear chap, I had no idea.
07:22 Nobody does.
07:24 Is that the reason why you had the appointment with him?
07:28 Brenda told me.
07:31 I couldn't go and see him.
07:33 Tell him my partner's lover that we had no sex life at all.
07:43 If you check the time once more--
07:45 I'm just thinking of the traffic, Mum.
07:48 How are you feeling?
07:49 I was calm.
07:51 You look smart.
07:53 Is it your trial today?
07:55 Not my trial, Brenda.
07:56 I'm a witness.
07:58 Well, that's very nerve wracking,
08:00 standing up in front of all those people.
08:02 Mum's been in court loads of times before.
08:04 As a journalist, not as a serial offender.
08:06 Oh.
08:09 You know, I'm almost looking forward to it.
08:12 The look on Faye's face when she realized it's
08:14 finally caught up with her.
08:16 All those women, she's scammed.
08:18 What a way to lead your life.
08:20 And that's exactly how you're going to walk into court.
08:22 Calm and confident, yeah?
08:25 I'm so proud of you, Mary.
08:26 Oh, stop it.
08:27 When I had that stroke, people said I was brave.
08:29 But this, this is real courage.
08:31 Never had a malfunction before.
08:41 And the man with all the wives.
08:43 I had women falling at my feet at naughty night longs.
08:46 That was decades ago.
08:47 I know, but it's who I was.
08:48 I was a good lover.
08:49 Satisfaction guaranteed.
08:51 OK, I believe you.
08:54 I'm sure Brenda would vouch for that acclaim.
08:57 Oh, God, no, I wasn't suggesting anything
08:58 about you and my ex-wife.
09:00 Some performance ranking.
09:03 Oh, for heaven's sake, man, you--
09:05 stop behaving like a sex-crazed schoolboy.
09:08 I'm pissed, in fact.
09:10 You're getting older.
09:12 I don't want to.
09:14 What use is a geriatric dad to the twins?
09:18 They still have a dad.
09:19 The, uh, the doctor said that the, uh,
09:26 ED was part of my condition caused by the blocked artery
09:32 stopping the blood flow.
09:33 So he might get back to normal?
09:36 Well, the doctor says he thinks so.
09:38 Well, then, it's that simple.
09:43 You have a woman who loves you, and you're letting
09:45 her hot-foot it to London.
09:47 What?
09:49 She's going to stay with her son.
09:51 You're letting a glorious future slip away
09:55 because you don't want her.
09:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:10 [GIGGLING]
10:12 Oh!
10:13 Oh, I want to puke.
10:15 Oh!
10:16 So does that mean I'm the winner, then?
10:18 Yes!
10:19 No, I'm going again.
10:20 Well, no--
10:21 It's not over till it's over.
10:22 No, you can't beat me.
10:23 I'm Amelia, unstoppable.
10:24 [PANTING]
10:27 [PANTING]
10:30 Amelia?
10:31 [GROANING]
10:32 I'm sorry.
10:33 Oh, love, come here.
10:34 I don't want you to go.
10:36 [SIGHING]
10:39 Hey, Cain sent a message from Scotland.
10:42 Have a good one.
10:44 Imaginative.
10:46 It's from me dad and all.
10:47 He says that they'll have a drink to celebrate later.
10:49 Or half a dozen.
10:51 Any excuse.
10:52 At least he's having a good time up there.
10:54 And where's your present?
10:56 Ah, yeah.
10:58 Look, full disclosure, we're all friends here.
11:02 Sammy, um, I'm sorry.
11:05 Um, I ate it.
11:07 Mandy!
11:08 What, no, he sent chocolate brazils
11:10 from Market of the Wilmore-ish.
11:12 Paddy had some.
11:12 Don't bring me into it.
11:15 What's all this I made of?
11:16 Sam's birthday.
11:18 Many happy returns, Sam.
11:20 Have another round on me.
11:21 Oh, thanks, Kim.
11:23 Ka-ching!
11:24 Mum, get them in.
11:25 Yeah.
11:26 Kim, I was wondering.
11:30 Seen as you're in a generous mood.
11:32 Yes.
11:33 Now that came out wrong.
11:34 Like I'm looking for a handout.
11:35 And I'm definitely not.
11:37 I could do with some extra hours, you know,
11:39 to help out Amelia.
11:40 What, would Dan go into prison?
11:42 Well, if the worst comes to the worst, I mean.
11:45 Which is highly likely, from what I understand.
11:48 Yeah, exactly.
11:50 I don't know if she's going to cope without our help.
11:52 You know, there's rent, bills.
11:54 Lydia, I'm already paying you over the going rate.
11:57 And I'm giving you more hours than I need.
12:00 You know how much I value you, but I'm not a charity.
12:04 Of course.
12:05 I'm sorry.
12:06 I'm sure Amelia will be entitled to various benefits.
12:09 So why don't you get on to that?
12:12 I will.
12:12 Thanks.
12:13 What was that about with Kim?
12:19 Oh, it didn't matter.
12:20 There were no point anyway.
12:22 No point in what?
12:25 Is this still about Amelia?
12:27 What do you mean, still?
12:29 You think the problem's gone away just because you've
12:30 got a daughter at Doll's house?
12:32 I'm sorry, Sam.
12:38 I'm being horrible on your birthday.
12:41 You need to talk to me, not Kim.
12:43 This was meant to be happy.
12:51 I'm sorry.
12:53 Just-- I forgot about tomorrow for a second.
12:58 That was the point.
13:01 Give us both something to remember,
13:02 something to hold on to.
13:04 Yeah.
13:06 Grass in your hair, mud in your knees, cheeks full of roses.
13:09 Like when I was little.
13:11 Mm.
13:13 And all you had to worry about was little kid stuff.
13:16 Oh, there she goes.
13:18 She's saying, stop all that misery talk.
13:20 Where's my birthday cake?
13:21 Oh.
13:22 Is there cake as well?
13:23 Of course there is.
13:24 Who do you think I am?
13:25 Ah.
13:27 Ah, come on then, missy.
13:29 Come on then.
13:31 Ah, there we go.
13:33 Oh, hello.
13:36 Here we go.
13:37 Ooh.
13:39 Pat a cake, pat a cake, bakers man.
13:42 Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
13:44 Pat it and prick it and mark it with E,
13:46 and put it in the oven for Esther and Grandad.
13:49 Whee!
13:51 Oh, hang on, she just said, Grandad,
13:52 Gaga for Grandad, didn't you?
13:54 Shut up.
13:55 She did?
13:56 She's not talking yet.
13:57 Well, she is now, aren't you?
13:59 Woo-hoo!
14:00 Whee!
14:00 I got your message.
14:13 Thanks for coming.
14:15 Of course I was going to come.
14:16 What else was I going to do?
14:17 I thought London, you might have already left.
14:21 I haven't even phoned Luke yet.
14:23 Don't.
14:26 I made a mistake yesterday when I told you it was over.
14:32 OK.
14:33 That's not what I want.
14:34 I just feel so many things, Wendy.
14:39 I know.
14:41 I know you do.
14:44 I think the shame of it, and for you and Liam,
14:48 I think it's been blown up because of my own issues.
14:53 I think that too.
14:55 So I was putting all that anger on you,
14:59 working myself into a state imagining
15:01 the two of you together.
15:04 Because I couldn't give you that, I just--
15:08 I felt useless.
15:10 Like I wasn't a proper man, even.
15:13 I don't want us to break up.
15:19 All I want is to get back to how we were.
15:23 And we can.
15:24 We can.
15:25 And look, I don't care about sex.
15:28 So you can just take that pressure off straight away.
15:31 I'll just wait until you're ready.
15:33 Are you sure?
15:35 You're not just sorry for me?
15:37 No.
15:39 No, Bob.
15:41 You frustrate me.
15:43 And jokes, they're awful.
15:47 And you're enthusiastic for absolutely everything.
15:50 It drives me insane.
15:54 But I will never feel sorry for you.
15:56 Come on, Esther.
16:04 Who's this?
16:05 Gaga.
16:06 Gaga for granddad.
16:07 She's definitely said it.
16:08 No, I believe you.
16:10 I mean, why wouldn't granddad be your first word?
16:12 It makes total sense.
16:13 Yeah, she'll be chattered away soon, won't be able to stop her.
16:15 I'm walking.
16:17 You started walking on your birthday.
16:18 I was working on the roads and your mom sent me a video.
16:21 You can remember it?
16:22 Yeah, it's all the milestones, isn't it?
16:24 The first times.
16:26 The thing is, you can never get her back.
16:28 Dad.
16:30 Look, anyway, you can show off to Gramps and Lydia, can't you?
16:33 You're going to be a proper little star, you are.
16:35 Look, you're still going to see her?
16:37 No.
16:38 Look, we're going to come visit you.
16:39 Across the table, no touching.
16:40 Look, they've got proper family rooms.
16:43 No.
16:45 Anyway, we've not started the cake yet.
16:46 There's some candles in there somewhere.
16:48 No, Dad, we're not doing this.
16:50 We're not pretending like nothing's happening.
16:53 Because tomorrow's going to come, whether we like it or not,
16:56 and nothing will be the same again.
16:58 That were quick.
17:05 Yeah, we left straight after mum's bit.
17:07 I could not spend another second in that courtroom.
17:11 The solicitor said she was amazing.
17:12 Let's wait and see.
17:13 No point in speculating.
17:15 It's all too dreary.
17:17 Have you got back in that car yet?
17:19 I mean, it's only been a day.
17:21 I thought you'd be gagging to get your independence back.
17:23 Yes, and understandably, to most people, I'm a little nervous.
17:29 Give him a chance, mum.
17:30 It is a really big deal.
17:32 So get back in the saddle.
17:34 It's the only fix.
17:35 Stop shilly-shallying around, avoiding life.
17:38 OK, and have you started dating again?
17:39 You know, it would be impersonal.
17:41 Yes, actually.
17:43 Have you?
17:44 Yeah, wrote a new profile right after our discussion.
17:47 I bagged myself a little liaison for tomorrow.
17:49 A date?
17:51 Two people connecting over a coffee, glass of vino.
17:54 Why give it a label?
17:55 OK, so give me the details.
17:56 Have you got a picture?
17:58 That is for me to know.
17:59 Don't be so superficial.
18:01 Just being curious, mum.
18:03 Good for you, Mary.
18:03 Can you go over things with me again about the house?
18:10 Oh, yeah, I'm not completely sure myself.
18:14 With you being under 18, it's a bit more complicated
18:16 when it comes to the benefits.
18:18 OK.
18:19 Well, we've got the cash that Cain gave us
18:21 and the money left over from selling Hettie,
18:23 minus the solicitor's fees, of course.
18:25 We don't really know how much that's going to cost yet,
18:27 do we?
18:28 Or you could get Noah to move in and pay rent.
18:31 That's the other option.
18:32 I don't want to do that, Dad.
18:34 I know.
18:35 You keep on saying that.
18:36 Just-- we already see each other loads.
18:39 I think if we were to move in together,
18:41 it'd just be too much pressure on it.
18:43 OK, I just wanted to make things easier.
18:47 It's 18 months, right?
18:49 We just-- we need to try to get through that.
18:52 If all goes our way, yeah, three years and half
18:56 that for good behavior.
18:58 But Chas said she'd look after you.
19:00 So's Mandy, and there's always Lydia and Sam.
19:03 Even Manclob are looking out for you.
19:06 But, hey, I'm not too concerned, because you
19:10 are the strongest nearly 17-year-old I know.
19:14 Like She-Ra, princess of power.
19:17 That's what I think you, my little superhero,
19:20 you can do anything you want to.
19:22 Look, I don't want to leave you either.
19:25 And I won't do it unless I absolutely had to.
19:28 But I'm not worried, because you are
19:32 going to be absolutely fine.
19:34 Amelia's not even 17, and she's losing her dad, her rock.
19:43 I said we'll look after it.
19:45 Well, saying it's not going to make it happen, is it, Sam?
19:48 I know you'll do everything you can,
19:50 but we're so stretched at home.
19:52 There's always a way.
19:53 Then this was one, taking positive action,
19:56 getting more hours cleaning.
19:58 Right, that's it.
19:59 I'm looking for more work tomorrow.
20:01 There aren't enough hours in day, not for a brand new job.
20:04 That's for me to worry about, not you.
20:07 I don't like seeing you slaving away.
20:10 I've never been afraid of hard work, Sam.
20:13 I feel much happier now I've decided.
20:15 Here you go.
20:24 One more present.
20:27 It's wildflower seeds, so you can plant them in the garden.
20:30 When they come next summer, it'll remind you of me.
20:32 Dad, I don't need a reminder.
20:34 I'm going to be thinking about you every single day.
20:37 I wish you wouldn't.
20:39 Well, can we sell them here in nature
20:43 so they can grow how they're meant to,
20:46 pointing up at the sky?
20:48 Well, they're yours now.
20:50 You do what you want.
20:52 Next summer, I'm going to bring Esther here.
20:55 But the summer after that, we're going to climb this hill,
20:59 all three of us together, Esther on your shoulders,
21:02 like what you used to do with me when I was little.
21:05 And we're just going to see the beautiful meadow of flowers
21:08 waiting there for us.
21:10 No pressure, then.

21:13 That's it, then, isn't it?
21:39 Yeah.
21:41 Thanks for making this a magic last day.
21:46 And remember, if you want to take a stroll past the Woolpack
21:55 or David's shop, you can book on to the Emmerdale Village Tour
21:58 at emmerdalevillagetour.co.uk.
22:01 More drama on the way next here on ITV1 with Coronation Street.
