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