00:30Anything interested? On your phone?
00:39Work. That's all. See ya.
00:42Oh, you going for some lunch?
00:46Maybe.
00:47Well, why don't you join me and Mattie? We're just meeting over the road.
00:50Er, day drinking. Not really my thing.
00:52Oh, please. Just come for one. And I found some old photos of me with Rob and Andy when
00:58we were little. Some good ones of Dad, too.
01:01Well, you obviously don't give a stuff, so I'll let you get on.
01:05Sorry. Yeah, erm, lunch sounds great.
01:14I know I wasn't at the house inspection, but I'd moved out, so I didn't think I needed
01:17to be.
01:18OK, it's... it's what?
01:22Right, sorry. No, I've... I've still got a key. I can come round and sort it now.
01:28OK.
01:30Thanks.
01:31Yeah, standing over Will yesterday, seeing him brought to his knees, I thought I'd feel
01:38triumphant. But all I really felt was this terrible sadness.
01:46Oh, love.
01:48No, not once. Throughout everything I put him through, did he think of telling me the
01:53truth.
01:54And if he had?
01:57We might have been able to salvage something, even though I told Will it'd be over if he
02:02strayed. I knew deep down that Rose was a one-off, a mistake. If he'd been honest with
02:12me, who knows? I loved him, you know.
02:21Course I do.
02:23For the first time in years, I let someone in. And before all this, I'd have trusted
02:33him with my life.
02:35I am so sorry.
02:39Don't be. Lesson learned. Nobody's worth that much pain. And it's never going to happen
02:48again.
02:51So what do you do now?
02:54What I always do. Move on. Carry on. Get back to work.
03:04My marriage is dead and buried. Time to focus my energies on things that actually give a
03:11return.
03:21Got a moment?
03:23I can do better than that. I can give you two, actually.
03:26If you need to take that.
03:28No, it's just Jay. It'll be about the divorce. We're having a bit of distance at the moment
03:32I don't feel like talking about it. You know, some people are energy radiators and other
03:37people are energy drained.
03:39I've been thinking about the Harvest Festival.
03:42Hi, Mum.
03:43Hi, Claudette. How are you doing?
03:45I'd be better if you'd start making plans instead of leaving everything to me.
03:48I'm not. I was hoping that you'd get involved this year.
03:52It's the first I've heard of it.
03:54Oh, I'd love to. Do you know what? The other day I was at the food bank. I was dropping
03:57something off and they told me they're in such high demand so maybe the donations could go there.
04:03Fantastic idea.
04:05And we could ask Liam if the kids could dig up some of his veggies from the allotment and bring
04:09them to the church.
04:10Walking mud down the aisle.
04:12And then we could all get together and cook a community lunch and people can pay what they can
04:18afford, yeah?
04:19So you want us to be a soup kitchen now?
04:22Loaves and fishes, Claudette.
04:24But if you think the church shouldn't get involved in feeding the hungry, then that's fine.
04:31I must dash. Bye, Charles.
04:40Go out. You're not wanted.
04:44But there is really bad energy, Ryan.
04:47Like last night when we were asleep, I swear I heard somebody come up the stairs.
04:50I didn't.
04:51And before Marlon bought the place, that woman called Noreen lived there.
04:55You know, she died ages ago and I don't think she likes us, Ryan.
04:59I think she wants us out.
05:01Right, is this you telling me you want to move?
05:05The sooner the better.
05:06So there's me with Rob and Andy when they were cute.
05:10Great.
05:11And this is my grandma, Annie.
05:13Yeah, and you told me nobody messed with her.
05:15Oh, no, she was tough as the kind of woman that would call a spade a flipping shovel.
05:21Um, and here's my mum.
05:25Aw, she's gorgeous.
05:27And, um, well, you lost her, didn't you?
05:31Yeah. It broke my dad's heart.
05:38I'm sorry, John. Are we boring you?
05:41Because I'm trying to tell you about my dead mother and you can't stop garping at your phone.
05:46I'll have that back, please.
05:47Oh, how old are you, 15?
05:48What is so important that you can't put it down for ten seconds?
05:51Now.
05:52Message off, Aaron.
05:53And another one.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:58Why is he messaging you like that?
06:02Why do you think?
06:11Hold it there.
06:12I'll get the first one.
06:15Stop. Right now.
06:17Don't even think about going near my horse.
06:20It's not your horse. None of them are.
06:22Don't be ridiculous.
06:23I've been on to a bloodstock dealer.
06:25They're all going to auction tomorrow.
06:26Including Tally, once I've worked out where you've hidden her.
06:28Even try it.
06:30Now you've nicked the money, I need it to pay Caleb back.
06:33So I need the cash.
06:34I seem to remember that you put these nags in my name as a tax dodge.
06:38So that's why you refused to sign my property back over to me yesterday?
06:42No. I refused to sign because it's mine.
06:45Come on, guys.
06:46Now hold it right there.
06:49If you had half a brain in that thick skull of yours,
06:53you'd know that you can't sell a horse without a passport.
06:55And they're all in my safe.
06:57The dealer didn't seem bothered.
06:59Well, that's because she's a friend of mine.
07:01She told you what you wanted to hear to get you off the phone.
07:04So she could call me.
07:06She won't touch them without papers.
07:08And neither will anyone with a reputation.
07:11There's other ways, then.
07:12There's glue factory.
07:14Hunt kennels might give me a few quid.
07:16Could always ship these off abroad.
07:18I mean, there's a fair few stakes on that one.
07:20Come on, guys. Let's get this over with and done with.
07:25That's the only house between here and town.
07:28We can't afford a grand a month.
07:30Well, we'll just have to talk two or three then, won't we?
07:34Unless...
07:36I know it's a bit cheeky, but we could ask Chas.
07:40What if we can live here?
07:42Well, there's a massive empty bedroom upstairs, you know,
07:45and we wouldn't have to pay rent.
07:47We could save loads for our next place.
07:49Well, maybe, but only if you say yes.
07:56Say that again, please.
07:58I knew you two hooked up, but you said it was a one-off.
08:01And now it isn't.
08:02You do know that Aaron is married to Robert, our brother?
08:06Not any more.
08:07And he comes with a whole container load full of baggage.
08:11Is it serious? Are you two an item?
08:16Thanks for the drink. Catch you later.
08:18And, Vic, get over yourself.
08:24I'm going to message Aaron.
08:26What's he playing at? How could he even do this to me?
08:29Do what? See someone without asking you first?
08:32John's not just someone, is he?
08:34He's my brother. And Robert's.
08:36And the last person I want Aaron going anywhere near.
08:39Oh, this has got disaster written all over it.
08:41Maybe it's nothing to do with us.
08:44If they actually are a thing, there's no way it'll last.
08:47They'll end up splitting up.
08:49Or maybe they'll stay together.
08:51Or maybe they won't.
08:52And then John will drive away in his stupid van
08:55when I've just started to get to know him.
08:57Doesn't exactly give much away, does it?
08:59No, I know. And I've told him all about my life,
09:02but his is still a mystery.
09:04He didn't tell me about Aaron.
09:06He didn't mention that he was a medic.
09:08What else hasn't he told me?
09:11Wait! Just leave him.
09:14I'll have no choice but to take things further.
09:17You saw what I'm capable of yesterday.
09:19Next time, I won't hold back.
09:24Right, you can go.
09:26Will made a mistake.
09:29Even think about coming near my horses again.
09:32I always reckoned you thought more of these things
09:34than you cared about me.
09:36Well, that's what you get with a horse.
09:39Reliable, honest, trustworthy.
09:43Everything you're not.
09:45What the heck did I ever see in you?
09:47Hmm.
09:48Multi-millionaire, Kim Tate, I wonder.
09:50How many times?
09:52You and me, it isn't about the money. It never was.
09:55A few months ago, I might have believed that.
09:57But now, I know better.
10:00You come onto my property again, and I'll call the police.
10:04Yeah, and I'll tell them that you're a psycho
10:06who made me dig my own grave, so good luck with that one.
10:09Just go, Will.
10:12You're keen on playing games.
10:14Why don't we play a new one?
10:16One where we don't stop until I've made your life a living hell.
10:20How you've made mine.
10:22Game on, sweetheart.
10:24May the best man win.
10:53It's your thing.
10:55Wherever you're going, whatever you're doing,
10:57get great stays at great prices.
11:00Premiere in, rest easy.
11:05Want to get to know her more?
11:07This is a perfect opportunity.
11:08I've got actual butterflies.
11:10Fluttery, fluttery ones here.
11:12All I know is that you just know.
11:14I'm buzzing, absolutely buzzing.
11:16It's never too late to feel butterflies.
11:19My Mum, Your Dad continues tonight at nine on ITV1 and ITVX.
11:25The thing is, I just can't see you any more.
11:31How about now?
11:39As I said on the phone, Will knew when we were married.
11:42Whatever happened, he'd have no claim on any of my key assets.
11:46Property, land...
11:48Maybe, but a prenup isn't as watertight as you might think.
11:53And as you didn't get him to sign off on those documents yesterday...
11:56Well, turns out Will has claws.
11:59Who knew?
12:00All it would take would be a decent challenge by a good legal team
12:03and that would be it.
12:06He'd be entitled to half of everything?
12:08He could make a case to improve his settlement.
12:11Or he could ruin me.
12:14Actually, do you have time for a real drink?
12:18We can plan a strategy.
12:21But we need to act fast. I know Will.
12:24He won't have even thought about getting legal advice yet.
12:27But we need to be ready for when he does.
12:30You do know it's going to cost.
12:34This place means everything to me.
12:38I've taken a lot of risks.
12:41I've made so many sacrifices.
12:46I'd rather torture it all than let him take anything.
12:57Hey! I've been calling you.
13:00Have you thought any more about moving back in with us?
13:03What the heck are you doing here?
13:06What the heck are you doing here?
13:08I just came to get a few final things but then Kim's property agent just called me.
13:12I've been trying to get in touch with Tom.
13:14What is it, love?
13:15Apparently the place is a mess.
13:17But when I left it was spotless. He's come back here, hasn't he?
13:20He'll be okay.
13:21I've been straight out here for ages. I can't face the thought of going in.
13:24Well, why don't we do it together then?
13:37Could have at least tried to tidy up.
13:40What's this thing doing on the floor here?
13:44What?
13:48It's a camera.
13:49Don't be daft.
13:51No, Lydia, it is. Look. There's the lens. It's tiny.
13:54What would a camera be doing on the floor here?
13:57Oh. He dropped it, didn't he?
14:00Yeah, on his way out. Trying to get rid of the evidence.
14:03Like he was watching me.
14:05Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
14:07It's so obvious. This is how he knew what was on my laptop.
14:10This is why he wanted me to move back in.
14:12He wanted to see me, listen to me in my own home.
14:15Right, give that here. We're going to need that as evidence.
14:18He must have hours of footage of me somewhere.
14:21Right, come on, let's get you back to Charities and pack your bags.
14:24And then I'm going to get you back home and you're going to stay there with me
14:27until we work out what the heck's been going on.
14:31THEY CONFER QUIETLY
14:37All seems fair enough to me.
14:39Found your own level already.
14:41Scum always rises to the top.
14:43You move pretty fast.
14:45OMG, how hot is he?
14:47Peter's my financial advisor.
14:49We have business to discuss.
14:51It's funny, that could sort him in, will.
14:53Yeah.
14:55Sign there.
14:57And here.
15:00Signing away your soul, are you?
15:03Or maybe he's talked you into extending the terms of that loan you gave him.
15:07You know you won't get a penny back.
15:09He's flat broke.
15:11Congratulations, just bought yourself half a haulage yard.
15:15You've sold your share?
15:17Caleb made a very, very generous offer.
15:19You wouldn't mind witnessing the signature, would you?
15:25I've got some time tomorrow,
15:27so I thought you, me and Mum can reconvene,
15:29go over some plans for the Harvest Festival.
15:31Yeah, sorry I was a bit short with you, Mum, earlier.
15:35No need.
15:37You gave as good as you got.
15:39She reminds me of an old parishioner of Ashley's.
15:42Edna.
15:44She was very opinionated and judgmental.
15:47I just want to make this parish work for you, Charles.
15:51I know attendance is really down.
15:53It has been for ages.
15:55But you've got to grab people's attention and get them through the door.
15:59And then what do I do to keep them there?
16:01Lock them in?
16:03Keep my sermons through the medium of expressive dance?
16:06Well, you know, other churches have services that appeal to the young.
16:10Maybe some live music.
16:12If the youth want that kind of ministry, they can go elsewhere to find it.
16:15Ah, got it.
16:17These ideas you have.
16:19This opinionated, judgmental parishioner is very interested to hear them.
16:22Right, well, I was thinking maybe offering a glass of wine to the congregation after service on Sunday.
16:29If people want booze, they can buy it.
16:32In the pub.
16:37Mum's right.
16:39It's a good idea, but maybe not for us.
16:42I don't think anything is unless Claudette comes up with it.
16:44Hey, that's unfair and certainly not the case.
16:47It's your name on the notice board.
16:49It's your church.
16:51But if you're too scared of your mum to drag your services into this decade,
16:54then don't blame me when you turn up on Sunday and, oh, she's the only one there.
17:03I bought you a chair in that business.
17:05I put it in your name so you'd have something of your own.
17:09Give you bag yourself respect.
17:11Dad and I sure miss her, don't you?
17:13Can he even do this?
17:15If he's the named owner, I'm afraid he can.
17:17Wow. Just wow.
17:20So, keys to the yard, keys to the alarm,
17:23keys to the key cabinet and to Jimmy's stash of biscuits.
17:27You know Jimmy changed his mind about selling up to Caleb.
17:30He's meant to be your friend.
17:32And now you're selling half his business from under him.
17:35Jimmy knew this was coming.
17:37Just a bit sooner than expected. He'll get over it.
17:40So, that's me and you quits, right?
17:42Yep.
17:43That yard's worth a fortune.
17:45And now you've signed over your entire share for, what, a 40 grand loan?
17:50Plus a little bit extra.
17:52Yeah, that's between me and him, though.
17:54Commercially sensitive information.
17:56Worth every penny. I want to see the look on your face right now.
17:59So, if that's us done, you'll have to excuse me.
18:01I've got places to go and people to see.
18:04Whatever he's paid you is nowhere near enough.
18:08He's playing you, Will.
18:10You might be doing this to spite me, but he's the real winner here.
18:14I told you it was game on.
18:16Now deal with it.
18:25Hi.
18:27It's me.
18:44Hi.
19:15I'm sorry. I knocked.
19:17Give them to me.
19:24Who's Aidan Moore?
19:26Like Aaron. None of your business.
19:29You told me the dog tags were yours.
19:31Which part of keep out of my van didn't you get, Victoria?
19:34I shouldn't have looked around.
19:36You shouldn't have looked at my phone either, but that didn't stop you.
19:41You shouldn't have looked at my phone either, but that didn't stop you.
19:44What's your problem?
19:45Not got a life of your own, so you have to get your kicks by sticking your nose into mine?
19:49No.
19:50It's just...
19:52We're family.
19:53But it's always me telling you stuff.
19:55And I just thought we could start being honest with each other.
20:00I wish I'd never met you.
20:02So I want you to get out of my van and stay out of my life.
20:06Honest enough for you?
20:11DOOR OPENS
20:16Thanks for dinner, Peter.
20:18Yeah, we'll talk more in the morning.
20:21If you could just draw up those documents and...
20:25Erm, I've got to go.
20:28OK, bye.
20:35Please keep a cool head now.
20:37Oh, no, no, no.
20:39This can't happen.
20:41You have to leave right now.
20:43If you want to talk to me, call my brief.
20:47Seriously?
20:48You've actually been to see a solicitor?
20:51Caleb's.
20:52Yeah, he's called the pit bull, cos once he sinks his teeth into somebody, he don't let go.
20:56You're joking.
20:58No, no.
20:59Got another meeting at the end of the week, and he'll tell you what he's told me.
21:02This is my home.
21:03If I leave, it weakens my case.
21:06What case?
21:07Divorce.
21:08Divorce.
21:09And I've also told him if that all happens to me, then you're the prime suspect.
21:14I have to check in with him every day at six o'clock.
21:17Lawyers like him don't come cheap.
21:19Good job I've got Caleb's cash in my back pocket.
21:22Then there'll be my settlement from you once we win it.
21:25Half of everything, he reckons.
21:27Well, your hot-shot solicitor has failed already.
21:31Didn't you tell him we'd signed a prenup?
21:34Not worth the paper it's written on, apparently.
21:37Who knew?
21:38You brought nothing into this marriage.
21:41Yeah, it don't work like that, sweetheart.
21:43When we got itched, I thought it were for life.
21:46You told me that I'd never have to worry about money again.
21:48Because I loved you.
21:50I thought what we had meant something.
21:53That we were important.
21:55Yeah, me and all.
21:57And the funny thing is, I still felt like that until yesterday.
22:01It's funny how your wife faking your blackmail can make you change your mind.
22:05You brought that on yourself.
22:06I made a mistake.
22:08I apologise, but that weren't enough for you, so your call.
22:11You're deluded if you think you're going to get a penny out of me.
22:14All I want is what I'm due.
22:16Looks like I'll just have to see you in court, love.
22:18If you want a war, you've got one.
22:22You know exactly who you're taking on.
22:25But trust me, you will regret this.
22:29Because I never lose.
22:36Fantastic recovery here.
23:06Fantastic recovery here.
