00:00Oh, can I have a word, please?
00:06Oh, you overslept. I need to get to work. Can it wait?
00:08No, it can't.
00:09Happy birthday!
00:10For me?
00:11Well, unless there's another ever living upstairs who's got a big day today. Go on, open it.
00:15How did you know?
00:16Oh, you left this behind yesterday at the Hyde. Some of your cards fell out. Rona wasn't
00:22looking, but she couldn't not see your driving licence and it had your date of birth on the
00:27So we thought it might be nice to do something special.
00:32Thanks, but I don't do birthdays.
00:33Oh, you do now. Because Rona's give you a free pass and I can get cracking with a full
00:37pamper session. Luxury nails included.
00:39Oh, there's no need. You've done so much for me already.
00:44I've got you posh coffee and Mandy's breakfast buns.
00:49Go on, then.
00:50Please, madame, take a seat and prepare to be pampered. Right, I just want before and
00:56after.
00:57No photos. I don't want anything online.
00:58No, no, no, this is just for me and you. Then you can see the difference when I release
01:02your inner fabulousness.
01:03OK.
01:04One, two, three. Happy birthday!
01:05Have you seen Evan's blankie?
01:16Er, it's on the settee in the lounge. Do you need a lift to the hospital?
01:22Oh, no, it's fine, thanks. Billy's putting him in the car. It's his second round of chemo
01:27today. He's only just got over his first.
01:29I know. It's really tough.
01:30Yeah. I mean, I know we're doing the right thing, it's just seeing him so poorly, it
01:36breaks my heart.
01:39Doctors wouldn't put him through it unless they knew he was going to get better. So if
01:42they think that way, so should we.
01:46That's what Kim said when she messaged me.
01:49Messaged you?
01:50Yeah, this morning, on her way to a meeting, she was just like, keep going, and that she's
01:55thinking of us today.
01:57That's nice.
01:58Yeah. I just wish she was here. The kids miss her. I miss her. Look, if you speak to her,
02:10please tell her to come home.
02:12Sure.
02:13Anyway, I'll see you later.
02:19Oh, also, tell her I'm going to go to the police about Mum.
02:24The police? What?
02:25Yeah, look, I know what I said about her being dead to me, but she's still my mother. She's
02:31not answering my calls or my messages. I've got to report her missing.
02:36Look, you just get Evan to the hospital. I'll take care of all that.
02:40Thanks, Dad. It's times like this we really need each other, right?
02:45Right.
02:48Hey, we've got a real problem now. Call me.
02:58Got the muscle on him.
03:03Yeah, and look at the price. Prize-winning bills don't come cheap.
03:07He said he wanted to improve the yard. Get a big one like him, you get loads of quality
03:11calves.
03:12I mean, he is a beauty, I'll give you that. And he'd be an investment. We could lend him
03:17to other farmers, sell his sperm.
03:20Sorry, what?
03:22We're thinking about buying another bull.
03:24Well, think again. You've already got one. I know it's getting on, but it does a decent
03:29enough job.
03:30He's slowing down. We buy another, then we're future-proofing the business.
03:34Bulls are stroppy and expensive, the size of a small planet. You've got enough on your
03:38hands with one of them.
03:39Yeah, not if you know what you're doing.
03:41And we do. High-end stock means high-end prices. This guy might be just what we need.
03:47We've just taken on a new farmhand. We haven't got any spare cash floating about for new
03:51livestock.
03:52Yeah, well, sometimes you've got to factor in short-term pain for long-term gain.
03:55Right, and sometimes you've got to factor in living within your means.
04:00Well, thanks for your input, Cain. Appreciate it.
04:04No bull, all right?
04:11You look rough.
04:12Oh, morning, Jay, and how are you?
04:13Must be getting to you already. The stress of co-owning the hop for just a single day.
04:19No, I've been up half the night, actually. You know, trying and failing to work out where
04:23me and the kids are going to live, considering you're forcing us out of our home.
04:27Yeah, you were happy to do the same to me.
04:29You're just doing it out of spite. You've got a home, Jay. It's a big mansion over there.
04:34I told you, I used to. But I sold it to Priya, and now she's on about charging me rent.
04:38Yeah, and I don't believe you.
04:39Well, you better had do, because the law is very clear. I'm skint, you've got assets.
04:44Now we're getting the divorce that you wanted. We divide everything equally.
04:48Oh, come off it, Jay. You've got money. We all know you've got money.
04:52There we have it. The reason that you married me.
04:55So what was your plan? I get a ring on your finger, then bin me off and grab half of everything I own?
04:59Pretty much what you're doing to me. And for the record, I actually married you,
05:05because I thought it was love, but you just took advantage.
05:09I did? Yeah, I should have ended it, you know.
05:13The minute I found out that you faked my signature for that loan.
05:17But you didn't. So here we are.
05:22And by the way, I've asked the estate agent to come round and value the place so we can get it on the market.
05:28You can't sell something you don't own. Yet.
05:32This house is not for sale, OK? You never will be.
05:35Then I'll see you in court.
05:50We're happy with his bloods. Once we've got confirmation from the doctor, we can crack on with the chemo.
05:56Poor thing. He has no clue what's coming.
06:00Good job, eh? You OK?
06:04It's just last time we hadn't seen what the chemo could do to him.
06:08Now we know. And he'll take it in his stride, just like he did the last lot.
06:14I'll just go and chase the doctor up. Then we'll have a brew, all right?
06:22He's been a different baby the last few weeks, hasn't he? Smiling, laughing.
06:27When this is over, when he's clear, he'll have his whole life ahead of him.
06:33It's going to be OK. You know it is.
06:37You don't know that. None of us do.
06:42I'm just trying to be strong. Yeah, I know.
06:46It's OK. We've got this.
06:50It's a good thing we've got each other, right? Yeah.
06:58Oh, one minute!
07:04Happy birthday!
07:07Thank you. Have you had a good day so far?
07:10Great, thanks. I've had the full treatment from Mandy. She said that you were paying.
07:14That's right. It's on us. I'm glad you enjoyed. There was no need.
07:18We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all your hard work.
07:21Plus, you know, you've been a brilliant friend.
07:25You've been a brilliant friend and a brilliant addition to the team.
07:28Hey, your nails look amazing.
07:30They look even better than they did on Mandy's post.
07:33Post? Oh, yeah, well, she's put her before and after on the salon,
07:37so she was here. Have a look, look. Oh, God, no.
07:41You look a bit anxious in the one before, but after the glam squad, you look really relaxed and happy.
07:45I told her not to do that. I said no.
07:47Well, it's just a selfie. It's not going to cause any harm, is it?
07:50You don't have a clue. None of you do.
07:53I didn't ask for any of this.
08:02Oi!
08:09That photo, I told you not to post it.
08:11I didn't. Don't lie to me. I've just seen it all over the internet.
08:15I was chuffing Amelia and I told her to keep it to herself.
08:18You told me that photo was just for us.
08:20She's obviously not read the bit where I said don't post it.
08:23You can't blame her. You look like a bag of spanners in the first one.
08:27You know, in the after. Hello, goddess.
08:30Please don't tell me that's for me.
08:33You pretend you've not seen it. It's supposed to be a surprise for the do-later.
08:37What do? I've just invited a few people for a drink, you know.
08:40Don't worry, Bob and his sparkly jacket are barred, so it's just a low-key thing.
08:44Then uninvite them. You've got to stop this madness right now.
08:47But everyone's really looking forward to it.
08:49I don't want a party. I don't want a cake.
08:52And I didn't want that photo all over the internet. Delete it right now.
08:56It's OK. I am on this. I'm going to message Amelia, right?
08:59Will you stop stressing, though? It's your birthday.
09:02Yeah, my big day. Happy birthday to me.
09:06Do you really think I've got anything to celebrate?
09:18MUSIC FADES
09:37Hello. Go away.
09:41I will.
09:44Once I know you're all right.
09:48But you're not, are you?
09:50I'm fine.
09:54I just saw you throwing cake and shouting at Mandy.
10:02I know today must always be very difficult for you.
10:07It's the anniversary of...
10:09Of the day I killed Joanne.
10:14Mandy was only trying to be nice.
10:17She's been such a good friend to me.
10:21I didn't want anyone to know it was my birthday.
10:24But they found out and they won't let it go.
10:28So it's all just, er...
10:30..a little bit overwhelming, is that it?
10:33I've had cake, cards, balloons, presents.
10:38It's the most anyone's ever done for me since Joanne's mum all those years ago.
10:42And I could have dealt with that.
10:45But then Mandy took these selfies.
10:47She promised me she wouldn't put them online,
10:49but then she sent them to Amelia, who couldn't help herself.
10:53Yeah, I saw them.
10:55On the salon socials.
10:57The second one of you is actually rather good.
11:01There is so much hate out there for me.
11:04People who think I don't deserve to even live.
11:08If the papers were to get hold of a picture of me looking happy...
11:12As much as I admire and respect Mandy,
11:15I don't think her social media has quite the outreach you suspect it has.
11:20How can anyone think I've got anything to celebrate today?
11:28You made a mistake a long time ago
11:32and you have paid the price for it.
11:35And I'm very sorry my recent behaviour hasn't reflected that.
11:41You have every right to live your life,
11:45no matter what anyone else thinks.
11:48And last time I checked,
11:50it wasn't a crime to have your nails done or eat cake.
11:54I just feel so wrong.
11:57And I do understand why you'd feel like that, but...
12:03Life goes on.
12:06And unless you acknowledge that and leave the past in the past,
12:11you can never move forward.
12:14And there are people here who want to help you to do that.
12:17People who care.
12:19Well, they used to.
12:21Now they're going to hate me.
12:23Smashing cake, tearing down birthday banners.
12:26Well, from what I can gather on the Ella's Surprise birthday group chat,
12:30people are mortified that they've caused offence
12:33and still hoping you might join them for a drink in the pub.
12:38They are.
12:40So I think you should just put all this upset behind you
12:44and let them raise a glass.
12:47You do? I do.
12:50Come on.
12:55We'll go together.
13:01BIRDS CHIRP
13:13Your superfood smoothie.
13:15You took your time.
13:17I wanted to be sure I got it right.
13:19Even though you might be in the process of divorce from my best friend.
13:22Your best friend who dumped me.
13:25You're still a valued customer
13:27and you're welcome here any time.
13:30Well, I appreciate it.
13:32I'm grateful of the support.
13:34Things can just get a bit heightened, you know, when people split up.
13:38Yeah.
13:42God!
13:43What?
13:44Something wrong?
13:46That's foul, disgusting, bitter.
13:48Just like you.
13:50I'm sorry it's not to your taste.
13:52I added salt instead of sugar.
13:54A bit of chilli sauce.
13:57Water. I need some water.
13:59Then I suggest you head to the shop and buy a bottle.
14:01If I had my way, you'd be barred,
14:03but Brenda thinks we shouldn't take sides.
14:05I've done nothing wrong.
14:07I'm the injured party here.
14:09It's me that's surplus to requirements.
14:11You had us all conned.
14:13When she married you, I was actually happy for her more than me.
14:16I'm just doing what women do to blokes every day.
14:19You know, if it was the other way round,
14:21you'd be egging her on, telling her to take me for every penny.
14:24So now you're some kind of poster boy for divorce equality.
14:27Rishi might have had a blind spot for you, but no-one else has.
14:30You were always a miserable excuse for a human being.
14:35Says the woman whose daughter's locked up.
14:38Even he'd be ashamed of you right now.
14:41And if you had anything about you, you'd be ashamed of yourself.
14:51Ella was devastated.
14:53I mean, she was mortified.
14:55She meant no harm by it, you know.
14:57How was she to know it's the anniversary of what happened?
15:00Are you trolling her?
15:02Well, yeah, who chose the playlist? Bit inappropriate.
15:05I just chucked together some dance bangers, that's all.
15:08Ella!
15:10Oh, you made it!
15:12You've all been so kind.
15:14I appreciate everything, and I'm sorry if you think I don't.
15:17The last thing anyone's wanted to do was upset you.
15:20Come here.
15:24Hey, listen, Emilia took the picture down.
15:26Yeah, and we should have asked your permission
15:28before we told the whole world it was your birthday.
15:30I think it was just a bit overwhelming, wasn't it?
15:33I hope you can forgive me.
15:35So if you all still want that drink...
15:37Mm, to your right, we do!
15:39What are we waiting for, then?
15:41What a birthday!
15:43Yeah, happy birthday.
15:45Right, come on, kids, get your requests in.
15:47Karaoke Queen's in the house!
15:49Drop it!
15:51It's going to be fine, innit?
16:22You absolute cow!
16:25I've got all my sisters with me!
16:28She's so beautiful!
16:30We are family!
16:32OK, I'm done.
16:34Get up, everybody, and sing!
16:37Right, go on, we've had enough of that now.
16:39Get it?
16:41Go on, listen, give us a song.
16:43Absolutely not.
16:45Remember what I said, though?
16:47I'm sorry, all that effort you went through.
16:49No, there's no need.
16:51Nobody's ever...
16:53I mean, I've never had a grown-up birthday before.
16:55Not like this.
16:57Well, we'll have to make sure he's one to remember, then, won't we?
16:59Right, come on, Roro, me and you!
17:01Duet time!
17:03No moaning!
17:05Right, what shall we choose?
17:07Oh, Roro, angels, dark angels.
17:09I love that one.
17:11Are you glad you came?
17:13Thank you for talking me round.
17:15Right.
17:25Listen, I...
17:27I hope you don't mind.
17:29I don't want to make it awkward, cos...
17:31you and I are obviously not, you know...
17:33Mind what?
17:39I got you this.
17:41I got you this.
17:43Open it.
17:49Sorry, I don't know if you remember,
17:51but a few months ago we were in town,
17:53and you said you liked it.
17:55So, um, I thought I'd pop in this morning and, uh...
17:59I love it.
18:01Oh, yeah.
18:03There we go.
18:05Come on, birthday girl, let's do this together!
18:07I've just told Mandy.
18:09I don't... I can't.
18:11Oh, you can do anything you want to.
18:13Yeah, I'll second that.
18:15Come on, you've got this!
18:17A lot of love and affection
18:19A lot of love and affection
18:21Whether I'm right or wrong
18:23Down the waterfall
18:25Down the waterfall
18:27Wherever it may take me
18:29Wherever it may take me
18:31You're the sound of ringing
18:33You're the sound of ringing
18:35When I come to call
18:37She won't forsake me
18:39She won't forsake me
18:41I'm loving angels instead
18:43I'm loving angels instead
18:47I'm loving angels instead
18:49I'm loving angels instead
18:51I'm loving angels instead
18:53I'm loving angels instead
18:55I'm loving angels instead
18:57I'm loving angels instead
18:59I'm loving angels instead
19:01Great song.
19:03We played it at Howard German's funeral.
19:07How did you even find me?
19:09Seeing as you had the gall
19:11to turn up to Auntie June's funeral,
19:13I figured it were game on.
19:15aren't hard to track you down.
19:16Weren't you in here dinner time last week?
19:18That's right.
19:20You've been here?
19:22Just keeping an eye on you.
19:24Nothing more.
19:26The way the law works,
19:27only it'd be me who'd be hauled over the coals if you saw me,
19:30so I kept my distance.
19:33Until this.
19:35Two gurning idiots.
19:37Rude.
19:38Celebrating Ruth's big day.
19:42So I just wanted to bring her something.
19:44To make it really special.
19:45Please go away.
19:47Okay, this is a private party.
19:49Yeah, and you're not invited.
19:50So sling it.
19:52I'm not here to make trouble.
19:55Just open the card, Ruth, and I'll go.
20:08I wanted to pass on Joanne's happy return, seeing as she can't.
20:11Our little star, Aunty June, used to call her.
20:15Because she was.
20:16Wasn't she, Ruth?
20:17Okay, I think that's enough.
20:18You can do what now?
20:22This.
20:24This is our Joanne.
20:26She was kind, and funny, and stroppy.
20:31And we loved her.
20:34And this monster destroyed our family when she took her away from us.
20:40Her eleventh birthday was her last birthday ever.
20:48Why don't any of you get it?
20:49Yeah, we do.
20:50I promise.
20:51I do.
20:52Come on, let's go.
20:53No, leave me alone.
20:55I knew this was a bad idea.
21:07Well, the deeds are in my name.
21:09Yeah, but I'm still married to him.
21:11Salt in my smoothie.
21:13And now this.
21:14I am being persecuted.
21:16What are you doing?
21:17Oh, sorry, I'll call you back.
21:18What are you doing?
21:19You don't live here anymore.
21:21At least not before you barge in.
21:23Or I could do what you just did to me.
21:25And break in and empty the entire contents of your house.
21:28What?
21:30I know it was you.
21:31Just like you got Nicola to lace my smoothie.
21:34I have no idea what you're talking about.
21:36Oh, stop lying to me.
21:38I don't deserve this.
21:40You're the one that wanted the divorce.
21:42Deserve what?
21:44I just went home to find that someone's been in
21:47and taken every stick of furniture out of my house.
21:50The only things that are left are some clothes
21:52and some stupid sign about karma.
21:54Oh, genius.
21:57But it's not me.
21:58I mean, I wish it had been.
21:59Well, who else would it be?
22:01This morning, you threatened me.
22:03Yeah, with what you deserved.
22:05And maybe the universe was listening.
22:07It was you.
22:08It has to be.
22:09Jay, I'm recovering from a heart attack.
22:11The most I can do is lift a laundry basket.
22:14Oh, funny, that.
22:15Cos you look well enough to me.
22:17Get out.
22:18I am telling you now, you have made a massive mistake.
22:21Look, the only mistake I have made is marrying you.
22:24Now, I need to get to work,
22:26so either get out or I'll call the police.
22:29Ruth!
22:31Ruth, stop!
22:34Stop, Ruth!
22:37Don't come near me!
22:39Do you know what?
22:41I wish you'd died that day.
22:43And if I wanted, I could make it right like that.
22:46I'd be lying if I said I hadn't had a thought about it over a year.
22:49You stay away.
22:51I'm not going to hurt you.
22:53Not because I don't want to.
22:54I'd like nothing more.
22:56But since I don't want to spend the rest of my time inside with scum like you,
22:59I can't touch you.
23:00Leave me alone.
23:02It's not me you want to be worried about.
23:04Yeah?
23:06You can run as fast as you want.
23:08Yeah, change your name again, get a shiny new life.
23:11But you'll never outrun what you are,
23:13what you did.
23:15That evil inside you,
23:18I can smell it from here.
23:20So can those new mates of yours.
23:23Ella?
23:24Is everything all right? What's wrong?
23:26I'm fine.
23:27Don't worry.
23:29I haven't touched her.
23:31I wouldn't soil my hands.
23:34Happy birthday, Ruth.
23:36Eh?
23:37Let's hope for all our sakes it's your last one.
23:43Ella, love.
23:45He found me in the pub.
23:47He followed me.
23:49Right.
23:50Come on, I want you to take some deep breaths.
23:51Let's get you back inside.
23:53You can tell me all about it.
23:55Come on.
24:04Hey.
24:05Didn't expect to see you so soon.
24:06Yeah, well, Evan's had his chemo and he's settled,
24:08so Dawn sent me home to sort Clemmy and Lucas.
24:11I told Kim.
24:13She rang me on the way back from the hospital.
24:15She called you?
24:16Yeah, she wanted an update on Evan.
24:18So she can find time to message Dawn and phone you up,
24:20but she can't be bothered to call me back?
24:22I'm sure she'll be in touch sooner or later.
24:24Who are you trying to kid?
24:25We both know it's too late for that.
24:27She doesn't give a stuff.
24:29Her silence can only mean one thing,
24:31that me and her, we're done.
24:43Don't give me that.
24:44I know it was you.
24:46You're the only one who hates me enough.
24:48Of course not, Jay.
24:49Look around.
24:50You've got more enemies than friends.
24:52Well, why don't I tell the police?
24:53See what they've got to say about it.
24:55And I'll tell them the truth.
24:56But if I had any spare cash,
24:57you honestly think I would hire somebody to clear your house?
25:00Whose house?
25:01My house.
25:02Something the matter?
25:03Jay's been burgled.
25:05Apparently.
25:06Someone's cleared out the whole place.
25:08I mean, even the toilet roll holders.
25:10What about that weird lamp in the hall?
25:12Yes, and it's not weird.
25:14It's classy.
25:15Or that hideous octagonal structure thing on the wall.
25:17Yes.
25:18Hexagons.
25:19And yes.
25:20Oh, it was so in your face, Jay.
25:22Come on.
25:23More like a crime against interior design.
25:25Sounds like whoever's done it has done you a favour.
25:27Now you can redecorate.
25:29Find yourself something a bit more contemporary.
25:31It was you, wasn't it?
25:33You did it for her.
25:35That's why you left that sign about karma.
25:37Sign about karma?
25:39You had the motive.
25:40You've had the opportunity.
25:41And you know where I hide the spare key.
25:44Listen, Jay, I've just had my nails done.
25:46Do you really think I'd be shifting furniture with ease?
25:48Why didn't you tell that to the police?
25:50She was here in the cafe when you stormed out.
25:53Working on a laptop, right under my nose.
25:55So why don't you back off, Jay,
25:56and go back to your big empty house and leave us alone?
25:59When you find out who it was, let me know,
26:01so I can buy him a drink.
26:03I know it was you.
26:05And I'm going to prove it.
26:11So, where do you put all the stuff?
26:17Oh, can you see to the cars?
26:19Paddy's running late,
26:21and he'll be here to give them their shots in about an hour.
26:23You off somewhere?
26:24Norfolk.
26:25I need to get going if I want to be there by tonight.
26:27I'm booked into a B&B,
26:29and I'm eating dinner with a livestock agent.
26:31Don't tell me you're still going to go see that bull.
26:33Hey, if he looks as good as he does online,
26:35he'll be a great asset for the Herald.
26:37Dad said no.
26:38You can't afford it, can you?
26:39Well, it's my farm, Nate.
26:41I make the decisions.
26:43Tell him that the kids are with Lydia,
26:44his dinner's in the fridge,
26:45and I should be back by lunchtime tomorrow.
26:47Cheers.
26:52Ta-da!
26:55We got some other fellas to do it.
26:57I mean, Jimmy wasn't so keen.
26:59We can't do that, Nico.
27:00It breaks the life code.
27:02But I made him see that he had no choice.
27:05So it was you after all.
27:07Yeah, planned with military precision.
27:10As soon as Jay left this morning, they went in.
27:12We just kept an eye on his movements.
27:14I knew he'd go off on one about his smoothie this morning,
27:17which bought us a bit of extra time.
27:18I mean, they left with seconds to spare.
27:20But when Jay accused you,
27:22you just looked as innocent as I did.
27:24Well, I can lie like a pro when I have to.
27:26Kim taught me.
27:27It's direct eye contact, not a hint of a smirk.
27:30Genius.
27:31The little rat's finally got what's coming to him.
27:33I can't condone this behaviour, though.
27:35You know, you're stealing from Jay
27:36and breaking and entering.
27:38I mean, that is too criminal.
27:39Offences, girls.
27:41Well, put it all back, eventually.
27:43But the way he's been getting at you,
27:45I had to do something.
27:46She should have put a hidden camera in.
27:47I'd love to have seen his face
27:48when he realised that all of this had gone.
27:51Now, if it was me,
27:53I'd take all this stuff to some auction down south,
27:56sell it, you get the proceeds,
27:58deposit towards someone new.
27:59That's a great idea!
28:01No!
28:02Well, I mean, I probably wouldn't get much cash for it,
28:06but, I mean, he actually paid for this.
28:09What was he thinking?
28:10I definitely have a problem with this.
28:13I do love you both.
28:14You know that, don't you?
28:15Aw, right back at you.
28:18And you know, this is just a warning.
28:20If he keeps bullying you,
28:22he's not going to know what's hit him.
28:28Hey.
28:31Here you go.
28:35What did you think gave him the right, eh?
28:37Turning up here today,
28:39spoiling your birthday?
28:41He only said what everyone else is thinking
28:43since they found out about Joanne.
28:45Murdering scum, that's me.
28:48An ex-con who's not to be trusted around kids or decent people.
28:53You know, when it came out,
28:56what happened all those years ago,
28:59it did come as a shock to all of us.
29:02It always does.
29:04Everywhere I've ended up since I got out of prison.
29:07Yeah, but those of us that have got to know you,
29:09we've realised it's the person that you are now that matters,
29:13not the child you used to be.
29:17I've been so happy.
29:21Today was the first time I've dared to hope
29:23that this time it might work out.
29:27That I've finally found somewhere I can call home.
29:30Yeah. Yes, and you have.
29:32Hope it's all broken now.
29:34No, Ellen.
29:35No, it isn't.
29:36No, it's right.
29:37I can't run.
29:38You don't have to.
29:40I can't hide from who I am.
29:41There's no point in trying.
29:43Ella, just take a deep breath, please.
29:47There's no safe space, there's no second chances.
29:50I don't belong here, I never will.
29:52I know that Gary's upset you, I know he has,
29:54but I promise you, I promise you,
29:57everyone who's in that pub,
29:59they're there because they care about you.
30:03SHE SCREAMS
30:06Oh!
30:10You think you know me?
30:13You don't know me at all.
30:28Please don't hit me again.
30:30I will, unless you call the police.
30:33SHE SCREAMS
30:35There's no need for that, Ellen.
30:37Look, whatever is going on here,
30:39we can sort it out.
30:41SHE SCREAMS
30:42Not going to happen, Wendy.
30:44Call the police. Do it now.
30:46Or do I really have to hurt you?
30:49SHE SCREAMS
30:51OK.
30:53OK, but my phone, it's in the staff room.
30:57Use mine.
31:02Please, please.
31:05What the...?
31:08Hello.
31:09I'd like to report an incident.
31:11SHE SCREAMS
31:14I'm at Brook Cottage Surgery, Main Street, Emmerdale.
31:18If you don't get here soon, she gets it in the neck.
31:20Got it?
31:23SHE SCREAMS
31:24What? What the...?
31:26She's lost it!
31:28Ella!
31:29What's wrong? What's this about?
31:35SHE SCREAMS
31:45People say we should just move on.
31:49How can we?
31:51Ruth broke us.
31:52She broke our family.
31:58And I do know how tough that is.
32:01I lost my own daughter not so long ago.
32:05She was...
32:06She was only just 18.
32:10And the only comfort I have is knowing
32:14that the person who murdered Lianna is in prison
32:19and she will never be released.
32:22I'm sorry.
32:25But your mother was not even 20.
32:28But your aunt was not even 12 years old when Ruth killed her.
32:33She had her whole life ahead of her, just like your girl.
32:38And now that cow's out, already.
32:41The rest of her life in front of her.
32:45You call that justice?
32:52I happen to know that what Ella...
32:54Her name's Ruth.
32:56..did to Joanne has haunted her ever since.
33:02She tell you that?
33:05Ella regrets what she did.
33:08Bitterly.
33:10And she's haunted by grief and guilt.
33:15And she knows she will never be able to live a normal life because of it.
33:19And you feel sorry for her?
33:21I think that everyone, if they're genuinely repentant,
33:26if they've done the work, if they've changed for the better,
33:30deserves a second chance.
33:32Even the woman who killed your girl?
33:34Even her.
33:37If I thought for a moment she was capable of self-awareness
33:41or introspection.
33:45Well...
33:47Well...
33:50..you're a better man than I am.
34:00So, I found the sales room that opens in Brighton tomorrow.
34:03Oh, give it a break, Gabby.
34:05Oh, three times in one day.
34:07You really are spoiling me, Jo.
34:09Why are you two looking so happy?
34:11Oh, just life, that's all.
34:14You know, since I had my heart attack,
34:16I just appreciate every day, every moment I treasure.
34:20Double points for every day that she's been separated from you.
34:23Triple when you're divorced.
34:32I know you've got my stuff.
34:34Look, do you actually want to order something?
34:36Cos if not, I'm going to have to ask her to leave.
34:39Yeah, you know what?
34:41You know what?
34:43I'll have an Americano, just over there, please.
34:46Oh, and actually, I might have a piece of cake as well
34:48and treat meself.
34:49Cos actually, I'm celebrating too, as it happens.
34:52You know, whoever emptied out my house did me a favour.
34:55It was too big, you see.
34:57Me and Art, you were rattling round that big old place,
35:00and, well...
35:02Priya's put up the rent.
35:04So I've decided to downsize.
35:06And as you've so kindly helped me with my...
35:10I can't hear you, Jay!
35:16Kindly helped me with my packing?
35:18Not her. Not me. Us. No.
35:21I don't even need to fork out for a removals van.
35:24Yeah, I can't wait to meet my new neighbours.
35:26Oh, wow. What a treat for them.
35:28Oh!
35:30No, I forgot.
35:31I don't want to do that, cos I already know them.
35:34Yeah, see, I've taken out a lease on Conalton.
35:38Bob's new tenant's pulled out,
35:40and he was more than happy to help out a neighbour in need.
35:43Er, it's, er...
35:45Luke, are you moving across the road?
35:48It's your best to make that two coffees.
35:50He'll be here any minute to drop off the keys.
35:53New start for all of us, eh?
35:55Oh!
35:58And I brought you this back.
36:03Never a truer word.
36:08What Gary said to you,
36:11I understand.
36:13It was triggering, I know that.
36:16My first and final party.
36:19For a minute there, I actually started to enjoy myself.
36:24We can work through this.
36:26Get some proper help, some counselling.
36:29I've had enough of that for one lifetime.
36:32Well, I'm going to call the police
36:34and tell them it was all a misunderstanding.
36:36When I bust Wendy's nose, good luck with that.
36:42We can sort this, I promise.
36:44Joanne died.
36:46I didn't.
36:48Nobody's going to be able to forgive or forget.
36:51Gary was right.
36:53Why should I be out here living my life when she can't?
36:57Why did I think I even could?
37:00Well, you're living proof that you can.
37:02Because people round here, they love you.
37:04And I loved Joanne.
37:06I miss her every day.
37:09And I'm sorry that she died,
37:10but sorry doesn't bring somebody back, does it?
37:15Please let me help you through this.
37:17What I did.
37:19No matter how fast I try to run,
37:21it catches me up every time.
37:24I'll never be able to escape.
37:27I'm cursed.
37:29I don't deserve to be loved.
37:31I don't deserve a life.
37:34A family.
37:36A baby.
37:39Those things are for normal people.
37:41Not killers like me.
37:44Well, I'm sorry, but I don't subscribe to that.
37:47What Gary said was wrong.
37:49OK, look how far you've come.
37:52There are so many people here who are your friends
37:55and they care for you.
37:57We can fix this.
37:58No, you can't.
38:00Nobody can.
38:03I haven't done.
38:05It's over.
38:11At least I won't have to pretend when I'm back inside.
38:16Prison.
38:17That's what this is all about.
38:18You want to go back?
38:20I'm so tired, Mampreet.
38:23I just want to go home.
38:26This is your home.
38:28You're already here.
38:30Give this to Liam for me, please.
38:36We've had a call about a disturbance.
38:39It was me.
38:41I admit everything.
38:44It was me.
38:50Erin's asleep, stable.
38:53So me and Dawn were wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a night shift
38:56so she can see the kids, get some rest.
39:00Will.
39:02Look, Dawn needs a break.
39:04She needs to come home.
39:05But, you know, if you're too busy to give her time...
39:07Sorry.
39:08It's business. There's some stuff going on.
39:10Yeah, well, there's some massive stuff going on at the hospital.
39:13Life or death stuff.
39:14You know, Dawn is being so strong and she's holding it together
39:17but I can't hold her together on my own.
39:20She needs a dad.
39:21I have not been pulling my weight. I get it.
39:23Look, I know you've got your issues with Kim and the haulage
39:26but we've got some serious issues with two kids
39:28who are worried about their little brother.
39:30Of course you have.
39:31And Rose, she's either gone off the radar or gone missing.
39:34I'll do tonight. Tell Dawn that she can come home.
39:37Oh, and tell her that I've spoken to the police about her mum.
39:42Tell her yourself.
39:44I've got to take the kids' football practice.
39:46I'll message her, I promise.
39:54PHONE RINGS
39:59Oh, no, no, no. I'm only her husband.
40:01My wife shouldn't bother even telling me, eh?
40:03Look, listen, I need to go now.
40:05All right, see you. Bye.
40:06Hey, thanks.
40:08Yes, please. I could do with a drink right now.
40:10Moira winding you up?
40:11Nothing she does or says makes any sense.
40:14One minute she's up, the next minute she's down.
40:16Then she's acting like she hates me.
40:19That's before she's even had a drink.
40:21Hmm, don't sound like her.
40:23Mind you, the past few times she's been in,
40:25she has knocked back a few more than her usual.
40:27Yeah, and now Nance just told me that she's off to Norfolk
40:29to look at some bull that we can't even afford.
40:31Now that is Moira.
40:33You know she's always run that farm her way.
40:35Yeah, but she's never gone off before for the night,
40:37just without telling me.
40:38Well, maybe she needs some time.
40:40For what?
40:41To look at the bull.
40:43She runs a business. She's a way on business, end of.
40:47Hmm, that's up to her.
40:50MUSIC PLAYS
40:56Bob said he's sorry that he couldn't stop for a chat,
40:58but the B&B's rammed.
41:00Unlike this place.
41:01Are you really moving into the village?
41:04I'll see you at the housewarming.
41:06Does that mean you're going to pay people to turn up?
41:08And you can tell whoever's got my stuff
41:10that I'll be at Conalton tomorrow.
41:13Shall we say two o'clock?
41:14She doesn't know what you're talking about.
41:16Archie's going to be back soon.
41:18I'd rather not break his heart
41:19by telling him that his stepmother
41:21has made off with his bed,
41:23his signed football shirt
41:24and his flipping beetle collection.
41:26So can you make sure that I get all my gear back
41:29in pristine condition?
41:31And I might think about not calling the police.
41:34Oh, no, call them.
41:35I haven't got any proof.
41:36All them wagons have trackers, Laurel.
41:38If I want proof, I'll get proof.
41:40You wouldn't, would you?
41:42Get my stuff back to me and you won't have to find out.
41:45Oh, and, uh, thanks for the coffee.
41:49You really are spoiling me.
41:53He don't mean it.
41:54He does.
41:55Heavy word.
41:59Wendy?
42:01Hey.
42:02Oh, your face.
42:03There's nothing wrong.
42:04I'm more shaken than anything.
42:06Well, what happened?
42:07I don't know.
42:08It was Ella.
42:09She had some kind of breakdown.
42:15Oh, Ella, what have you done?
42:18This woman is a patient in crisis.
42:20In my capacity as her GP,
42:22I have to insist that you let her go.
42:24And I obviously concur with my colleague's diagnosis.
42:27Thanks, but we'll take things from here.
42:29We'll be back to take a statement in due course.
42:32OK, look, don't worry about it.
42:34We are going to get you a solicitor.
42:35Yeah, we'll sort it out.
42:37Thank you for everything,
42:39but this is for the best.
42:46I don't believe this.
42:48Be happy, Liam.
42:50Please.
42:52Mind your head.
42:59Ella asked me to give you this.
43:15It's the new comedy starring...
