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