00:00Oh, when did you get back?
00:25Just now. Jay called me.
00:28What did you do that for?
00:30Arthur.
00:31I was worried about you.
00:32Mum, he's making a big deal out of nothing.
00:34You don't know what he's told me.
00:36Well, it's obvious.
00:37He knows I had a friend round.
00:39So what?
00:40It's got nothing to do with him.
00:42So why didn't you tell me?
00:43Well, I didn't get a chance.
00:45I was going to tell you when he got home.
00:47Right.
00:49So what did he get up to?
00:50You and your friend.
00:52I don't know.
00:53We just hung out.
00:56I need some help with some college work.
00:59What?
01:01I'm telling you the truth.
01:04So what are these then?
01:07Well, according to this,
01:08the last ping from his phone before it went dead
01:10was round about here.
01:12Yeah, an hour ago.
01:14And these thugs could have done anything to him and Kim in that time.
01:17We should have just called the police.
01:18And we will once we know what's going on.
01:20Will made me promise.
01:22Why won't this ruddy thing work?
01:25Your family sure do love a tracking app.
01:27It's for work.
01:29And all that stuff with Tom and Belle is just rubbish.
01:33And I thought we called a truce on that
01:35until we'd found Will and Kim.
01:37Are you even listening to me?
01:38What's that?
01:40Well, that looks like him.
01:41Will?
01:46Is that a grave?
01:47What's that doing here?
01:49Would you believe me if I told you that?
01:50I dug it myself.
01:51This is crazy.
01:52I shouldn't be involved in any of this.
01:53I'm calling the police now.
01:54No.
01:55But Kim.
01:56Kim's fine.
01:58I promise you, Lydia.
01:59Will,
02:00this blackmailer,
02:02I think they mean business.
02:04I know.
02:06That's why I need to talk to Kim now.
02:08Are you going to tell her everything?
02:10She already knows.
02:12You mean Kim did this?
02:14No.
02:15What?
02:16She would never.
02:17Look, I haven't got time to explain, all right?
02:19Jimmy,
02:20give me a lift home, will you?
02:22I need to see my wife.
02:26What are you going to do?
02:28Will?
02:30Will!
02:31Look, don't.
02:33They've told you you need to rest.
02:35Okay.
02:38Come on.
02:40Is Isaac okay?
02:42Well, he is now he knows you are.
02:46He's in there watching telly.
02:48Such a clever little thing.
02:51How did he even know how to ring an ambulance?
02:55Um, I told him.
02:58What?
03:00Look,
03:01they needed to know.
03:04If this is what we're doing, living with it,
03:07I had to.
03:09You're not, um,
03:11you're not cross with me?
03:13No.
03:14Of course not.
03:17Today could have gone really badly.
03:20Even worse than it did.
03:24I'll kill Mackenzie for leaving you here.
03:26Oh, no, don't.
03:27It was me that told him to go.
03:30I mean,
03:32little Moses wasn't feeling very well
03:34and I didn't think that we were going to be on our own for that long.
03:38I just, I shouldn't have taken the risk.
03:41I'm really sorry.
03:43Hey,
03:45it's not your fault.
03:47It's that thing in your head.
03:50Mm.
03:53And that's why
03:56I think that maybe you were right.
04:01That I should have the surgery.
04:05And the sooner the better.
04:08I just want it gone.
04:11I just want it gone.
04:18PHONE RINGS
04:34Oh, hi, honey.
04:36You're home.
04:38Oh, and just so you're aware,
04:40I've changed the code.
04:42Well, haven't you thought of everything?
04:46Have you got any idea what you've done to me?
04:48Darling, I didn't improvise this.
04:51I thought you were dead.
04:53I thought I'd lost you.
04:56Er, try not to get mud on the upholstery.
04:59Is this just a game to you?
05:01This is our marriage.
05:03Oh, so you do remember, do you?
05:05The vows we made,
05:07the promises we shared.
05:09Only it seems like every time I turn my back,
05:12you get a lust in your loins
05:14that you can't possibly bring yourself to ignore.
05:18How did you know?
05:20Honestly,
05:23you made it impossible not to.
05:27Sober up a bit.
05:29On my way.
05:32Can we at least talk about Steph?
05:35Well, we can do, but it never ends well.
05:38It's not me that'll end up in tears.
05:40I know it upsets you, the way things are with her.
05:42She was always your favourite.
05:44That's not true.
05:46We have tried with her, Ruby, loads of times.
05:48Yeah, and we never should have stopped.
05:50When she wants to get in touch, she will.
05:52No, she won't, because she's as pig-headed and stubborn as you are.
05:55All right, what is this actually all about?
05:58If this is because of your mum, it's not the same thing.
06:00It's exactly the same thing.
06:02I could have died in that fire a week ago,
06:04and Steph never would have known how I feel about her,
06:06how sorry I am and how much I love her.
06:08And knowing now what that is like,
06:11I don't think I could do that to her.
06:13In fact, I know I can't.
06:28Oh, thanks.
06:30Yeah, well, don't read anything into it.
06:32I just don't want you keeling over and dying on the rug.
06:36Too many questions would be asked.
06:39When did you figure it out, that we'd slept together?
06:42It was the roses, with the note.
06:46It was a test.
06:50You swore you'd told me everything,
06:52but if you had, you'd have told me about them.
06:56You'd have nothing to hide.
06:58You can't have known for sure just from that.
07:02Are you trying to tell me I was wrong?
07:06She made that little comment about trust.
07:11You were oh so quick to close it down.
07:15Tried to ignore it.
07:17Tried to convince myself it was nothing, just another of her lies.
07:22Or, perhaps at worst,
07:25a momentary kiss you regretted in an instant.
07:29But you wouldn't have given in to such blackmail.
07:34Not over something so small.
07:36I didn't want to hurt you.
07:38You have no idea how much I was hoping that
07:41I would feel guilty for the rest of my life for testing you.
07:46But instead...
07:49..instead I just felt vindicated.
07:54And everything that happens now is on your head.
07:59I don't know why you're making such a big deal.
08:01I'm 17 and God, they let me drink all the time in Australia.
08:04That doesn't sound like that.
08:06All right, it was a few times with dinner and stuff.
08:09You know, that's all this was.
08:11So you and your friend were actually having dinner?
08:15We're just, you know, worried about what's going on in your head.
08:19Secret drinking.
08:21Mum, just because you can't handle a drink doesn't mean that I can't.
08:27I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
08:31I just meant, without your history, your illness,
08:34we wouldn't be talking like this.
08:37And I only hid those cans because I didn't think it was fair on you.
08:40You're not having them round the house.
08:42So this homework, then?
08:45What?
08:46You know, that the pair of you were doing?
08:48Show me. I'm interested.
08:50Jay.
08:53Arthur.
08:54It's not a big deal.
08:56What isn't? I mean, who is he?
08:59He's just a friend. You know, we met on an app.
09:01An app?
09:03Are you even old enough to be on those?
09:05It's fine, Mum. Everyone does it.
09:07I don't care what everybody else does. I'm just concerned you didn't tell me.
09:10Do you know how dangerous those apps can be?
09:13I mean, did you two have sex?
09:16What?
09:17Would you ask Amber that question?
09:19I'll say yes, then.
09:20Jay, you're not helping, and yes, I would.
09:22Look, this has nothing to do with you being gay.
09:25This has to do with me being your mum.
09:28Just stay out of it.
09:30What I get up to in my own life is none of your business.
09:33And it certainly not his.
09:44I know I messed up. I was an idiot.
09:47Don't expect a counter-argument from me.
09:49But what you did was just pure evil.
09:52There's no other word for it.
09:54People did try and warn me, but I can see it now.
09:57There's just something in you that's broken.
10:02What?
10:03All these things that you do, these grand gestures,
10:06you just file them away.
10:08Ammunition for another day.
10:10When are you going to realise that I'm not the enemy?
10:13Perhaps when you stop acting like it.
10:16Do you care about me? Like, honestly?
10:24Here.
10:25What's this?
10:26It's everything I was foolish enough to put in your name.
10:29I want you to sign it back over. Now.
10:33We're not separating.
10:35Not your decision to make.
10:51This is insane.
10:52I'm sorry, but there's no way that I'm signing those things.
10:56Well, it's good to know you're capable of the word sorry.
10:59I wouldn't have known.
11:01Of course I am.
11:02Can't you see that everything that I've done to keep this quiet
11:05is because I didn't want to lose you?
11:07I knew what you'd do.
11:09Well, bravo.
11:11Because I have to admit, even this one took me by surprise.
11:14Stop, will you? Just stop.
11:17This isn't a game. It's not a joke. This is our marriage.
11:21Now answer the question.
11:23Do you care about me?
11:27When that barn burnt down and I got knocked out,
11:30you knew that I'd checked out of the hospital early
11:33because I couldn't get hold of you.
11:35I was so worried about you, I thought something had happened.
11:38Obviously, I realise now that it was just one of your schemes,
11:41but for one second, was there the slightest concern about me?
11:44I could have died.
11:46Don't be so dramatic.
11:49Says you.
11:50Why didn't you just talk to me?
11:52Why didn't you just ask instead of pretending that your horse had been nicked
11:56or faking some dodgy photos?
11:59All right.
12:01You want to talk about what-ifs.
12:03What if you'd just told me?
12:05What if you'd done the right thing for once in your life
12:08and admitted to what a scumbag you are?
12:11But no, you chose to lie,
12:14to continue telling me you love me.
12:17I do!
12:18You don't know the meaning of the word.
12:21We've been here before, with Bernice and Harriet.
12:24Those meant nothing.
12:26No, I meant nothing to you.
12:29It's the only explanation.
12:31When I clawed my way to the top
12:34and I finally took hold of everything I deserved in life,
12:38I promised myself that I would never be nothing again.
12:41This isn't about that.
12:43It's always about that.
12:47And I am worth so much more than you in every sense of the word.
12:54But we can't keep going on like this.
12:56You've said as much yourself.
12:59When have you ever listened to a word I've got to say about anything important?
13:07You know, when you had your surgery,
13:09with your aneurysm,
13:11were you scared at all?
13:14No, yeah, of course I was.
13:16But that was different.
13:18I mean, it all happened so fast.
13:23I don't want my boys to see me like I was today.
13:27I don't want them to come home and just find me lying there.
13:31And I definitely don't want them to go through what I did with Holly.
13:35No, that's not going to happen.
13:40And I know I have to get this surgery.
13:45But I'm just so scared cos, well, anything could go wrong.
13:51Yeah.
13:59Thanks for your text, Jimmy.
14:01He's in a foul mood.
14:02Yeah, I think it's my fault.
14:04At his age, it's always our fault.
14:10Oh, just leave me alone.
14:12Look, I know I shouldn't have shouted at you.
14:14You're not supposed to be under that stress right now, but I don't want to do it again.
14:17Look, I'm not going to have a heart attack by you raising your voice,
14:20but I might do if you keep inviting those strangers back.
14:22It wasn't a stranger.
14:25Look, it's OK for me to worry about you, OK?
14:27Not everybody's as kind, sweet and lovely as you are.
14:31And it just makes me nervous, you know, that your instinct is to lie to me.
14:36You're too young to be on those apps, love.
14:39I'm sorry.
14:41You do know Jay's only told you this so he can worm his way back in, right?
14:44No, he hasn't.
14:46Anyway, I want you to promise me that you're not going to lie to me again.
14:49Promise.
14:50OK.
14:52She's still not answering. Do you think we should go up there?
14:55To Holme Farm?
14:57You can. I'm staying well clear.
14:59But if she knows what he did, and if Kim really is behind all of this,
15:03I dread to think what she's going to do now.
15:05The way he was talking earlier, he's not best pleased with her either.
15:08I mean, what on earth is going on with them two?
15:11You talk about love, but if you ever felt anything for me,
15:15you would sign these.
15:17You wouldn't be arguing about it.
15:19I'm fighting for our marriage here.
15:21Oh, come on. We both know it's long dead.
15:25You might as well toss it in that hole you dug, for all I care.
15:29All you're doing is trying to get your claws into my estate.
15:33I wasn't with you for your money.
15:36Then sign them.
15:37No. If you say there's no going back, then fine.
15:41After today, I'll probably agree with you.
15:44But you don't get to throw me out on the streets just because you're done with me.
15:48This is my home.
15:50The haulage, it's my business.
15:54All right.
15:55So where did you get all that money to pay me off today?
15:59You already know the answer to that.
16:01I want to hear you say it.
16:03I sold my watch.
16:06The watch I gave you on our wedding day.
16:09Well, you did well to get 50K for it.
16:13So where else? Tell me.
16:16I took out a loan.
16:19From Caleb.
16:22How generous of him.
16:24The haulage company?
16:27It's cartel.
16:29For if I can't pay him back.
16:31Then you're an even bigger fool than I thought.
16:44You get some rest?
16:46Not really.
16:49Sorry for getting upset.
16:54Told you it'd happen.
16:56Always does.
17:02How did we end up here?
17:04With two kids who don't want anything to do with us.
17:08I thought we'd be better at this, being parents.
17:11Me too.
17:14So what are you going to do?
17:16Are you going to ring her?
17:18No.
17:24I know what I said, but you're right.
17:26I'd only be doing it because it's what I need.
17:29If she wants anything to do with us, she knows where we are.
17:33She doesn't need me putting my grief on her.
17:36I think we've screwed her up enough already.
17:40Maybe one day, yeah?
17:43Yeah, maybe.
17:55Hey.
18:00What's he still doing here?
18:02Somebody had to look after Dottie when you ran off.
18:05I bet he just jumped at the chance.
18:08Come on to my room.
18:13Everything all right?
18:15He promises nothing happened.
18:17And you believe him?
18:18Yeah.
18:20I have to trust him, don't I?
18:22Yeah, I mean, I did do the right thing, didn't I?
18:24I mean, I'm telling you.
18:26You know, when I saw them together, well, with the Beacons,
18:29I just didn't know what to do for the best.
18:31No, no, I appreciate it.
18:33You know, I know things aren't the same between us,
18:35but knowing that somebody is keeping an eye out for Dottie and Arthur,
18:39well, that just means a lot.
18:42It's not easy doing this on your own.
18:44I mean, you know that...
18:45What are you doing?
18:47Sorry, I...
18:49I just got it wrong.
18:51Wow.
18:53Arthur's right, isn't he?
18:54You don't really care about what he's up to.
18:56You just want to worm your way back in, don't you?
18:58No, no, that is not true.
19:00I'd like you to leave now.
19:02And from now on, unless it's about the divorce,
19:04I think we should keep a distance.
19:06We don't need to talk, do we?
19:08I mean, we both know it's over.
19:11Of course we do.
19:21How did I ever think that this was working?
19:24How many times have we accused each other
19:26of the most horrible, heinous things without even batting an eye?
19:31And which of your exes are we talking about here?
19:34I mean, that is what we're talking about, isn't it?
19:37You believing that I might have killed Rose.
19:40Or perhaps it was when you accused me
19:42of somehow taking on the power of a Norse god
19:45and striking down poor St Harriet.
19:48You keep her out of this.
19:50She's the woman you really loved.
19:53And you dare ask me if I cared for you.
19:56I have given you everything.
19:59I've done things for you that would keep most people awake at night.
20:04And in return, you have lied, you have cheated, you've stolen.
20:10You can sit there as long as you like,
20:12listing every mistake that I've ever done.
20:16But I have never once betrayed you.
20:19Never once cheated on you.
20:24I don't claim to be perfect,
20:26but I swore to be your wife because...
20:29Because I...
20:31Because what?
20:36It doesn't matter any more.
20:39Nothing matters any more.
20:45We're done.
20:48And we both know it.
20:53So now sign them.
20:57And go.
21:04No.
21:17No.
