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